her, when | found out that
she Is in no way respectable.
Ny friend told me she visits
him in his apartment and
does many other things which
| do not approve OF.
What shall | do? Shall |
drop this girl, or marry her
anyway and try to forget her
past? l would be glad to
have your advice.
BILL III.
Al am going to answer your
letter by asking you question::
Has your girl friend admitted
these accusations, or are you mere
ly taking another's word for it?
IL the latter is the case, the girl is
too good for you, and would be far
better off without your company.
o. have often been told
that boy thinks less of girl
who lets him kiss her after
they have been out together.
Is this so, Miss Grey? | don't
see why a boy should have
less respect for the girl after
he has had the nerve to ask
her and has given the girl
such temptation. l am sure
the girl does not lose respect
for the boy.
Please, Miss Grey, answer
this question for me?
would also like to hear what
other boys or girls think of
this. Thanking you in ad-
vance, | am JUST 16.
Aust why man should take
this attitude toward girl Is one
OF the unexplainable mysteries Of
human nature; but nevertheless,
the majority of men do. The dOu-
BILE standard excuses man for
tempting, while 1t condemns the
girl who is tempted.

THREE MAIN THINGS
ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS

Let the patient fix firmly in his mind
the three fundamental principles upon
which the cure for consumption is
based: air, food, and rest. The spe-
cifc instructions regarding exercise
must be obeyed. In cases where there
is as much as q degree of fever, the
least exertion will be harmful. In
cases where fever is absent, over ex-
ertion and excitement must be as care
fully avoided as catching cold.
AS a rule consumptives have a dis
taste for food One possessing a good
appetite is considered fortunate, as eat
ing almost to the extent Of stuffing, is
quite necessary. Foods that give flesh
and strength are most desirable, such
as milk, eggs, meats, nuts, butter, veg
etables cooked with meat or fats. The
regular three meals, or even four
meals per day, are advocated. Con-
sumption is one disease in which solid
foods are insisted upon.-Lena A. War

Don't Be Afraid Of Bonds;
They're Like Gold Coin

Don't get scared when anybody says
bonds" One reason why mast peo-
pie know very little about bonds is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and l don't buy $1,000
things every day. But our United
States Is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50.
and it's high time now to learn that a
bond is the safest investment on earth.
On the United States Liberty Bond
you get 81 per cent interest, payable
every June Is and Dec. Is, and also
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are GER
tain to become as numerous In the.
United States as gold pieces. They
will have q wide and ready sale. ANY
time you need money, you can take
your bond to the bank and get It.
There isn't a real estate dealer any
where, or an automobile maker, or
grocer who wouldn't be just as glad to
take a United States Liberty Bond as
he would to receive gold coin.
II you haven't already ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds. see your
banker or your broker today.

CROP ROTATION AS IT IS
A vISED FOR TENNESSEE
Specialist In Soils and Crops Makes
Recommendation for Profit
able Farming.

Crop rotations are needed on every
farm, but 1t Is very difficult for any
one to outline a rotation that will be Of
universal application. One may sug
gest, perhaps. certain things upon
which farmers can build suitable rota
tions. but that is about as far as one
can go.
Japan clover should, no doubt, re
ceive wider attention than 1t has in the
past. Farmers should be urged Ia
SOW II on poor land alone, or in comb
nation with redtop and other grasses
II one were to suggest a method OF
preparing poor land and to run two
years in corn, the suggestions would
probably be these:
First-From Japan clover prepare
land in July, phosphating with Grim
son clover, which will be turned under
for corn.
Second-Plant soy beans in the
same row with corn, thus adding q
legume. The soy beans may be pas
tured with hogs, If fences permit, oil
turned under after the corn is gath
cred.
There Is hardly time for a cover
crop between two crops of corn. Be
sides, in order to distribute farm labor
farmers should have some places FOL
fall and winter blowing.
Corn grown in winter-plowed lanC
can be planted earlier and harvested
early In the fall. II would be an ad
vantage to cut and shock the secon(
crop of corn because it is to be fol
lowed by small grain. After the small
grain, summer fallow and SOW to rec
clover and grasses, using lime ant
phosphate, If possible. After red clio
YER Is gone, Japan clover will volun
teer.
The first year grass and Glove
should be used for production of ha!
for home use. The crop of hay, whicl
will be mostly grass, may be cut thu
second year for marketing and tn,
land used for pasture after the hay il
removed.
When this rotation Is followed GU
in systematic order, 1t is as follows:
First Year-Japan clover, pastur
and summer fallow. Crimson clover
under for
Second Year-Corn and beans; win
ter blowing.
Third Year-Corn, cut and shocked
winter grain.
Fourth Year-Winter grain; sum
mer fallowed for red clover and grass
Fifth Year-Clover and grass. (Hay
home use)
Sixth Year-Grass. (Hay, marke
and pasture).
The important part of 1t all is tina
the sod land should be put into GRIN
son clover, rather than that cor
should follow the sod land directly

SAFETY FIRST
BY John IL. Carroll.

80 NNAAA ~AAN
The piston man in eighty-four,
Crimped caps between his
teeth,
He's gone; you won't see him no
more,
We're buying him a wreath;
When we said he'd get hurt
some day,
He only laughed and cursed,
He'd still be walkin' round if he'd
Remembered Safety First"
Mike Stark jumped off a movin'
train,
Stepped on a pile of steels,
He lost his footin', down he
came,
Fell underneath the wheels.
They had to cut leg and arm,
He's done for now, for good,
But he'd a-never come to harm
Had he guarded as he should.
A Cousin Jack named Jimmy
Ross
Was samplin' in a raise,
He, careless, put a board across
And said, 81 hope she stays"
And then away up near the top,
He loosed a bloody stull.
1t was ninety six-foot drop
He smashed his bloomin skull.
The raise-man, cross in thirty
place,
Forgot to holler fire.
He'd surely got us in the face
If he'd been three feet higher,
The cut hole didn't throw much
muck,
And so we got away;
And now we thank our streak of
luck,
That we're alive today.
The fellows who've been thru
the mill,
A workin' underground,
Say Watch yourself" no others
will,
They've tried-thats what
they've found;
There's lots of things can hap
| pen
But the commonest and worst,
Is to get yourself caught nappin'
And forget that "Safety's
First"

THE TENNESSEE
WOOD,HOOP SILO
Its Advantages Explained BY a

HUNDRED TON SILO FOR $500
II Farmer Desires a Satisfactory.

The farmer who owns as many as
ten cows or ten head " beef cattle
can not afford to be without a silo Of
some kind.
Silos have been built successfully Of
great many materials-wood, con.
crete, brick, stone, tile and metal. Al
most any silo which is air.tight will
preserve silage, but 1t is advisable for
one to build as substantially as pos
sible.
With the growing interest in silos
and silage there has come an In.
creased demand for a satisfactory,
cheap, homemade silo. The wood
hoop silo probably originated at SCOTS.

years. 1t is now found in various parts

practically every southern state. It is

around the outside, and is a modifica'
