A SUBWAY FILTRATION ."
BY George Haskell
3 . = =
Eva Crane never could see any
harm in miscellaneous fiirtatiOns.
She smiled at gOOd-looking men in
sUbways, theater IObbies, anywhere
when the mood took her. When, as
it sometimes happened, men pre-
sumed to speak to her she gave them
a freezing stare or a sharp answer,
as though they had been greatly mis-
taken-
In vain her aunt, with whom she
lived, and friends who really cared
for her, demonstrated, scolded or i'm
plOTed her to desist before it led to
serious consequences. She laughed it
off as a good joke and declared she
could take care Of herself.
Elva was so attractive and love
able her small peccadilIos were gen
orally forgiven; but to her greatest
friend and particular chum, Janet
Park, who was often with her during
these escapades, Elva's conduct was
becoming Unbearable. Janet was
neither pTim nor pUTitanic. She was
a good taIker, bubbling over with
humOr, and while not so pretty as
Elva, she had a personality that grew
on acquaintance.
One day when sitting with Elva in
the subway she became aware of the
prolonged stare of a young man a
few seats away. Looking at Elva she
soon saw the cause. Next she saw
the stranger smile at her companion.
''Elva, how can you make yourself
so cheap" she exclaimed
Cheap" echoed Elva in surprise.
why, it's only a little fun
But suppose you should ever be
introduced in society to one Of these
men, how would you feel?"
why, I'd feel as though we had
already started an acquaintance"
she laughed.

Tomorrow night at eight o.
clock the big Automobile, Piano
and Prize Contest will come to
a close.
No one can tell who will win.
The race is close for the big
capital prizes. For this reason
no contestant should be satisfied
with her present vote reserve.
The subscription secured the
last day or the last hour may be
the one needed to turn the tide OF
success in your favor. and, on
the other hand, the subscrip-
tions you fail to get during the
last hours may lose the first
prize for you. In many cases a
single five-year subscription has
been known to mean success to
the one securing it. Hundreds
of subscriptions may yet be Sc
cured. See every one who has
promised to help you and don't
be defeated.
Work, work, work from now
until the close means success.
There are more close races in
the districts for the smaller
prizes, and every contestant is
warned of the necessity for
work during the remaining hours

Cradle Rolls

Baby week. is now upper
most in the minds of all elemen-
tary workers.
We believe this affords the
church the largest opportunity
it has ever had to reach the
babies for the Sunday schools.
Last year during this week
the Cradle Rolls of the County
made great gains.
We do not think it unreason-
able to expect that every baby
in Charlton county could be en-
rolled with some Sunday School
during this campaign.
I trust that every Sunday
School without Cradle Roll
may seize this opportunity and
organize at once and with such
a dept. increase their numbers
until every baby in the county
is in touch with the church.
We shall expect great report
at the convention at Keytesville.
Shall be glad to furnish itera-
ture.

Who Is She?

Speculation as to the identity
of tha society womad who is
writing The Smart Set Maga-
zines remarkable series of arti-
cles exposing "The Sins of The

disclosures that have set the
smart world on teuter-hooks.
1t is said that the author of
these articles was for many
years one of the four leading
figures in New York's Four

sently living in Paris. Have
you any idea who the lady IS?

Title Role Keytesville Girl

Miss Eustis Hill Hundley OF
Washington. d. c. was cast for
the title role in Alice in Won
derland at a presentation of the
popular play in Asheville, N. G.
last week. The Ashville Times
says:
Miss Eustis Hill Hundley of
Washington, D. c., a visitor in
Ashville, appeared in the title
role, Alice, with a grace and
ease that made her a favorite
with the audience. Little Miss
Hundley was letter perfect, CIV
ing her lines with the clearness
and ease of an eXcerienced ac-
tress.
"Our Princess" will he heard
from most favorably in all she
undertakes, and the leading part
in Alice of Wonderland is some
undertaking for so young a girl.

JORDAN FARM ADVISER
What It Means to Have One.
Charlton to Get Best.
Time to Farm.

Farm Journals in addition to
testimonials from individual far
mers and counties having en-
ployed expert agriculturists,
make arguments concerning the
advantages and profit from the
start unnecessary. Manv coun-
ties in this state have SO bene-
fited that farmers are unan-
imous in their favorable opinions
and continue the employment OF
such invaluable help. Mr.. Sam
Jordan will deliver a lecture at
Salisbury Saturday afternoon at
I O'Clock and it will pay every
farmer in the county to be pres
ent. No expense except the
half day and the lecture is sure
to contain valuable advice to
every raiser of food products.
All those who have subscribed
to the employment of MIR. Jor-
dan are requested to be in Sails
bury Saturday morning to COM
plete the arrangements for his
engagement.
Since the Civil War there has
not been such a prospect for high
prices for farm products with
every reason to believe that such
prices will be maintained for 8
or A years. At no time has there
been greater reason for making
every foot of tillable ground pro.
duce to its utmost some food pro
duct. Undertaking as this gov
ernment is to feed not only her
own people and army but foreign
countries during continuance Of
the war the opportunity for far
mers to profit was never equal
led. To do so the most success
full means Of producing cropl
should be employed.

At the home of the parents
of the bride, Thursday, April IL.
Timothy Leach Jr. and Miss
Edith lola Welch were united in
the holy bonds of wedlock, Rev.
B. H. Pugh of Salisbury sealing
the vows which launched the
well mated and popular daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Welch
of Musselfork and the worthy
young man, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Timothy Leach of Shannondale,
on lifes domestic way.
The wedding was a strictly
home affair. none but the par
ents of the couple and Marion
Welch, grandfather of the bride
and two brothers of the groom
being present except Mrs. Bean
of Salisbury who had charge OF
the arrangements and dinner,
being present. Two charming
young women of Salisbury ar
rived in a fast touring car in
time for some of the splendid
repast but too late to execute
any coupe by diverting the de-
signs of the benedict.
The wedding dinner was all
that an affiuent farmer and
stockman and his wife, celebrat-
ed for her superior turkeys,
chickens and old ham, could pro.
vide in the line of substantials
and delicacies, and was prepar'
ed and served most excellently.
Mrs. Timothy Leach was one
of the most charming and deser-
vedly popular girls in her imme-
diate neighborhood and at Sal
isbury where she attended school
several terms. Handsome, vi.
vacious and educated in practical
domestic matters as we'll as book
knowledge, she was prize wei
worth winning:
i Tim Leach is of the stuff from
which the best men develope
| Tho young and but little exper
fenced in the complicated affairs
of life, his sturdy stock is suffi
cient guaranty that the youne
husband. honest, energetic anC
ambitious, will disappoint M
one interested in his future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tim Leach Jr
will make their home with th'
parents of the bride and hav'
an active interest in the affairs
of the large farm and delightful
home. The Courier wishes it
young married friends long life
happiness every day of it ant

ATLANTIC CITY, July 3.-The woman
element today was introduced into the
acrimnious controversy between adherents
of Miss Emma Lundell instructor in French
in the city schools, and Prof. Horace Hine
Hoch, director of German and supervisor
of languages, in the appeal to Mayor Bacha-
rach to appoint Mrs, Warren Somers to one
of the vacancies created by the resignation
of Elwood S, Bartlett, president and DR..
Walter Reynolds, vice president of the

out because the board after sensational
hearing voted to reappoint Miss Lundell
over the head of Professor Hoch.
Mrs. Somers is president of the Child
Federation and the Boy Scouts Mothers
Council. Twelve women's clubs are backing
her for seat in the board, while a citizens
committee is urging several business men
for the two vacancies. Petitions are in
circulation urging the school board to abol.
