Advice To
Girls
BY ANNIE LAURIE.

= By ANNIE LAURIE.
Dear Annie Laurie: l have been
going with a boy for a year. l
love him dearly and he has asked
me to marry him. l have not
gone with any other man since l
have met him. l met him first
at a motion picture place. Do
you think 1t is right for me to
marry him?
w or his family? Has he
convinced you that he is
earning enough to support wife
or Is he so carried away by his love
for you to forget that there are
such everyday things as three
meals e day to be provided? The
greatest difficulty about meeting a
person so informally is that there is
little chance to know those things
that show the man is worthy OF your
trust.
Dear Miss Laurie-I am in love
with a young man whose age is
about twenty-three. My own age
is eighteen. | do think he cares
for me, but does not love me as
L
make him love me more without
letting him know how l love
him? LILLIAN.
I'M glad to see you are sensible
about not wanting the young
man to know how you care Tor
him. So many girls really spoil
their chances of winning Il mans
love by acting so very affectionately
that the man is turned away by
sheer disgust, and, often, embar-
rassment.

T HE tailored blouse is sar-
torial necessity. 1t is abso-
IutelN INDISPENSABLE to the
feminine wardrobe and it is
not likely that even the potVmuriel
will threaten it seriously. one such
blouse with long sleeves and a high
collar reflects several of the new
fashion whims.
The front of the blouse is cut in
two sections. the lower supposed to
form high points which extend up

We must work. Whether you
handle pick or pen, a wheel
barrow or set of books, dig ditch
es or edit paper, ring an auction
bell or write funny things, you
must work. Don't be afraid of
killing yourself at work. Work
gives an appetite for meals, gives
appreciation of holiday. There
are young men who do not work,
but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not even know
their names; it simply speaks of
them as SO and SOS boy. The
great busy world does not even
know they are here. Find out
what you want to do and do it;
take off your coat and make a dust
of some sort in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry
you will get into, the sweeter will
be your sleep and better satisfied
you will be with life. George

Northeast Mississippi.

The people of North Mississippi
have reason to feel good; they
have been told by experts, by men
who have made a study of farm
ing conditions and are trying to
show how to get more ort of the
soil than they have been getting,
that their methods are far ahead
of methods employed by other
sections of the state; that they
have made good at modern and
up-to-date farming. That section
Of the state was not slow to grasp
the full meaning of diversified
ton; they saw the point" when
they were told that there was more
money to be made in raising a di-
versified crop than there was to
stick to the single crop idea. They
caught on" and went to it. The
result is that the people of North
east Mississippi are prepared for
whatever may happen this winter;
they have meat and canned goods
for their home, they will not suf-
fer nor will they be compelled to
buy of people from 9th er states OF
sections. The people of North
east Mississippi have made good
They have seen the light. Would
that other sections of the state
had done as well and gone about
it as early Meridian Star.

UTILIZE MUSSEL SHOALS

hl tucettng Oh tue navy con-
sulting board, held in New York
City, recently, DR. Leo H Back
land, chairman of the committee
on food and sanitation, made the
statement that, as conditions now
were, the United States, in case
of war, would be whipped within
a year, which, he said, made it
imperative to at once establish a
plant for the manufacture of nu-
trio acid from the air. The great
est source of the supply of salt
peter for the manufacture of ex-
plosives is the mines of Chile, and
DIR Baekland declared that if Ger
many had not been able to utilize
the nitrogen in the air since she
has been shut off from the Chilean
supply by the English blockade,
she would have been paralyzed
long ago.
1t takes cheap electric power to
take this nitric acid from the air
in sufficient quantities to produce
the requisite amount of smokeless
powder and explosives needed in
modern warfare, and the estab-
lishment of large electric power
plants becomes the alb solute de-
sideratum according to the state
ment of this authority. The fact
suggests a great development for
the Tennessee river, for there is
no available stream in the country
that offers better sites for such
plants than the section of the Sec
ton of the river in and about the
Mussel shoals. If has been esti-
mated that thousands of electric
horsepower may be easily develop
ed at the shoals, which means that
the establishment of a plant there
would supply an ihexhaustible
quantity of nitric acid, which, if
not needed in war, would easily
be disposed of. and with compar-
ative cheapness for uses as fertil-
izer on the farm lands of the
country.
The friends of the Tennessee
river i'''provement ought to get
busy directing public attention to
the possibilities for such a plant at
the Mussel shoals. An adequate
dam at that point, with the ac-
companying locks, such as we have
at Hale's bar, would remove the
only serious obstruction to the
navigation of the Tennessee, and
thus while supplying the necessi-
ties of war, if they should ever be
required, at the same time open
ing up the richest sections of the
country, the resources of which
are lying fallow for lack of ade-
quate transportation facilities for
their development.
These considerations could not
fail to attract the attention of the
congress il they were pressed as
they should be by those who are
to be directly benefited by the
projects they would promote.

BIG SALEOF HEREFORDS
Thirty-Two Head of Pure Bred Cat
tie Sold at Public Auction for
S,OOO-Highest Price 5000.

The first auction sale Of pure bred
Hereford cattle in Vermont was held
at the Caledonia County Fair grounds
Thursday and was a very successful
sale, 80 head of cattle selling at an
average price Of $3.50 head or total
of $4,000. About 800 men from all
sections of New England and the
Middle West were in attendance and
the bidding was quite spirited. Sew
eral bids were sent by mail from west
ern parties but their offers were not
high enough to get the cattle.
The highest price paid for an ami
NAL was 5000 for the three -year-old
bull. Beau Blanchard. Sd. He was
consigned by II. E. Morrison & Son
of Orford, N. H., and was sold for
$500 to II. L. Phillips Of Alexander,
n. II. He also bought the COW Evelyn
Fairfax. paying $500 for her. Anoth-
er cow. Isabel Fairfax. also brought
$500. The lowest price paid for any
animal was 500 for the yearling bull
Perfection's Last.
One of the animals sold goes TO
Kentucky and the remainder were
taken by New England buyers A
part Of the cattle consigned FOR the
sale were previously sold at private
sale to go to South America.
