WASHOUT UNDER BRIDGE

The heavy rains Of Friday caused a
large rise in Limestone Creek and as
a result that stream was running very
high for some time. AT the L. & N.
Bridge large amount of driftwood has
collected from previous freshlets and
the water rushing against this on Fri
day found an almost impossible bar
rier. The waters went to the side Of
the stream and there washed out a
large slice of the bank. Had the
bridge been of different structure II
would have been undermined.

How to Keep Your Friends.

An editorial in the September Won
ans Home Companion says:
1T is almost impossible to be genuine
ly friendly with person who insists on
being too close TO you, on knowing all
your thoughts, feelings and affairs, and
on claiming your time and attention on
the excuse of affection alone.
The bonds of true friendship n'dst be
easy and its demands must be for some
thing real and vital. The woman who
calls on you perpetually because she has
taken sudden fancy to YOU is \ blind
and selfish egotist, in a mild way. Her
calls may interrupt your work and bore
you intensely, but if you are a polite and
courteous person you bear with her Eptii
she directs her attention elsewhere. Sac
will probably tell the new friend that
you are very unresponsiye. Some won
en- clutch at every new acquaintance and
then complain that they have so few
friends, The reason is that friendship is
not built on trivialities and whims, but
by giving such valuable things as true
real interest aud manifest
ing a decent reserve as to the other per.
sons confidence and non -eonfdings."

Women and the Liberty Loan,

| The Woman's Liberty Loan committee,
appointed by the secretary Of the treas

in the sale of Liberty bonds, has inaugu-
rated nation wide campaign for the
promotion of the next issue of the LIB

For purposes Of organization the com
mittee has made each state unit of
organization. Each state has chair
man, who serves upon the executive
board of the state division of the WON
ans committee of the council of national
defense, representing Liberty loan inter
ests there. This state chairman has
active charge and direction of all Lib
erty loan activities among the women
in her state, under the general direction
of the national committee. She appoints
ehairmen for each county who in turn
perfect their county organization.
In addition to the state chairman
each federal reserve banking district
of the United States has a woman chair
man, who acts in an advisory capacity
of the state chairmen in her district
and who serves as ambassador from the
Woman's Liberty Loan committee to
the Liberty Loan committee of her fed
eral reserve bank board.
The Woman's Liberty Loan committee
has also established an advisory council
composed of the executive presidents of
women's organizations of nationwide |
membership There are also Liberty |
loan chairmen for Alaska, Cuba, Hawaii, |
the Philippines, Porto Rico, and for for
eign countries not engaged in war
1t is the aim of the Woman's Liberty /
Loan committee to interest every woman
in the United States in Liberty bonds
and to sell bond into every home in
the land. To this end the committee
