AMONG those many prominent and
affluent persons who consider that
~ they knowwell the Jaffrey Duncan
Il - family, there are only two who
will not learn with surprise the entire
truth about the fastening of the affair be-
tween young Jaffrey Duncan and Amy
Andrew.
To some of the intimate acquaintance
of that brilliant and yet conservative
group the match had mystery from the
first. 1t goes without saying that the
only son of the Duncans could not ask
his fathers young secretary to be his wife
without inviting speculation. Then, with
the sudden change of the original plan,
which had contemplated long and eau
tious engagement, there was added final
touch which no one understood.
Behind this query of the many, hereto
fore unanswered, there is the story OF
single winter dusk, and Of personality
not without some counterbalance weigh
ing against those other qualities which
cause the kind of persons whom the Dun
cans might know, to raise their eyebrows
Strange things happen on dark Fridays.

Good for Kenosha.

The abnormal picture was
hit and hit hard by the members of
the Board of Education at the
meeting held at the City Hall on
Tuesday evening when the mem
bers of the board by unanimous
vote directed the superintendent Of
schools of the city to send at once
a protest to the owners of all NOV
ing picture theatres in Kenosha
against the presentation of the
abnormal and sensational in
motion pictures. The members of
the board did not give their sane
tion to pictures just because they
had been passed by some board of
censorship and the board will be an
active factor in the battle for clean
pictures in Kenosha. - Kenosha
Evening News.
The foregoing is certainly instruc-
tive. 1t shows that at least one school
board in Wisconsin recognizes the
broad fact that the education of youth
is not monopolized by the school teach
err.
The objections raised by the Keno
sha school board are more far-reaching
than those Of the Record Herald. This
paper has only objected to the plainly
and openly indecent. The school board
would bar the "abnormal and sensa-
tional ~
The fight at Kenosha, however, seems
to have been won by the side of de-
cency. Further along in the article
it said that:
''Several of the owners of the
theatres in the city declared today
that they would accept the protest
in the spirit in which it was being
sent and that they would be pleased
to cooperate with the members of
the Board Of Education in clean
ing up the picture business and
keeping it clean.0
That is just exactly what we believe
would take place here if it was shown
to the owners of playhouses that any
portion of our population
demanded clean shows. That IS why we
have been keeping up the fight. There
must be, at the very least enough peo-
pie in Wausau who object to obscenity
on the screen or on the stage to sup
port one playhouse. And we have no
doubt that at least one clean playhouse
would be maintained if it were shown
to be profitable.
Unless the leaders of public thought
and morals desire Wausau to be rec
ognized throughout the country as a
first class market for obscenity they
will have to do something before very
long. Wausau Record Herald.

Letter From nsasluI,, 4. I.

Editor Democrat: Ii you will
spare me a little space in your
paper, / will write q letter about
the Hawaiian Islands as there are
very few people in Watauga who
know anything much ofthe trop.
ical countries from personal OBJ.
servation.
Honolulu is the capital Of the
Hawaiian Island, while there are
several others OF the islands that
are much larger than this one.
Honolulu is a large city, having
one hundred thousand popula-
tion.
There are several other nice
cities but not so large. This is
land goes by the name OF Oahu,
and the government has the ar.
my stationed here. There are sew.
eral army posts and forces on
the island. SchoAeld barracks is
the largest post that belongs to
the United States. There are four
regiments here, the First 1nfan.
try, Twenty-ffth Infantry, First
Field Artillery and Fourth Cav
airy are stationed at SchoAeld.
There are fourteen thousand
soldiers stationed here, and to
see all the regiments together
marching through the parade
grounds" would make you think
oi the Army.
This is the finest climate in the
world. The temperature does not
change a great deal. It is just as
warm in the winter months as in
the summer time. Gardens and
flowers are growing here now the
same as they do in Watauga in
July. The principal crops here
are rice. sugar, coffee, cocoanuts
pine apples and lots OF other
chings. Vegetation stays green
here the year round.
There are not very many A.
merican people here. The coun'
try is full OF Chinese, Japs and
Canakas. Canakas are the ma
tives of the islands.
| would also, like to write o.
my trip from the time / left Wa
tauga until I reached here, but
fear you have not space in your
paper, l will not write about
this now.
Best wishes to all.

Watch Your slssls.

There is trouble enough in the
world without sneezing more
trouble into it. Every time you
sneeze while you have the grip or
q cold, several million cold or
grip microbes are sent flying
out into the air which other peo.
pie must breathe. So the New
York health authorities are cir
culating a card bearing this ea-
silly remembered couplet:
"Cover up your cough and snee.;
II you don't, you'll spread disease. ,
Ii is iseasy to remember to GOV.
er up the coughs and sneezss.
The old idea was to teach this
little act of decent thoughtful
ness as a simple matter OF good
breeding. But now the health ex-
perts want everybody to know
that it is more than that. 1t
means preventing the spread OF
discomfort, disease and possible
death. For grip and colds in A.
merica are almost, il not quite,
our deadliest plague.
This is why school children,
passengers on elevated trains
and Others have been receiving
wholesale this little bit Of practi-
cal poetry. Don't forgetit. When
that mischievous titillian begins
back of your nose, reach TO +
your handkerchief. And instead
OF scattering microbes scatter
this advice:
"Cover up your cough and sneeze;
II you don't you'll spread disease"
In the prevalentepidel Of in.
fuenza, there is hardly a commu
nifty thatis free from it's attacks.
Fortunately its assaults can be
guarded against and virulently
modified. In these changeful win.
try days, with ajumpmg temper.
ature anu alternate wet and dry
weather, sufficiently warm cloth.
ing is q first necessity. Doctors
suggest care in keeping the feet
dry, the avoidance of overhead.
ed rooms, a moderate diet, and
absolute abstinence from alco
holic drinks. Perhaps one OF the
beet safeguards against grip is
not to worry about it. A case oi
"nerves" is more likely to invite
it than not, all other things be.
ing equal. Keep your head cool,
your feet warm and dry, and &c
about your business as cheerful.

will be reduced to a Minimum =
