POPULARITY WORTH WHILE

Governor Capper of Kansas, says
the Joplin, (Mo.) Globe, in a recent
address told the following excellent
human interest story, to emphasize
the virtues of the simple life in the
production of sturdy and wholesome
character:
Let me tell you about the most
popular girl in Shawnee county. She
lives on a farm a few miles south of
Topeka. She is not a fashion plate
beauty. At least. she doesn't know
that she is beautiful and no one would
select her for a beauty contest. The
fact is, she has red hair and freckles.
She doesn't wear diamonds - doesn't
doll herself up to make you think she
is some millionaire's daughter. But
she bakes the best biscuit in the town
ship and she has a heart Of pure gold.
She is not very strong on French or
the dead languages, but she took the
domestic science course at the high
school and now she makes her own
dresses and they are good enough for
any girl. She looks as sweet and
wholesome as a w~ell.rubbed apple. She
likes and is interested in everybody
she knows. And everybody who sees
her knows her for the fine, friendly.
sensible girl she is, her mothers indis-
pensable helper in the home, her faith
er's best friend and companion-and
the greatest matrimonial prize in her
county; for the young man who gets
her will have a help-meet and a home
instead OF a fashion plate and a mort
gage.
And let me tell you OF the most
popular boy in the county. He has
about six pigs and two cows of his
own and has paid his way through
school. He doesn't spend most of his
time flying around with the girls in 4
big automobile. He is o much of a
dresser. He is no authority on sporty
clothes. He couldn't roll a cigarette to
his life. He a catch or pitch
or hold down first base-that's his idea
of a good time. He likes to do things
that would positively shock ice-cream
clothes to death. He is not afraid to
dirty his hands with honest work. He
works when he works and plays when
he plays, and enjoys 'em both. He is
big, wholesome and husky. and fair
and square with the boys-they would
trust him anywhere. When he tackles
anything he gets away with it sooner
or later. He is growing into a fine
man and a big citizen and he knows
wheat and corn, and alfalfa and live
stock as well as lots of men who have
farmed for years.
81 want to see this boy marry the
girl. when the time comes. | know
there will be no need to attach a di.
vorce coupon to that marriage license.
They will be happy. thrifty and pros
porous. They will have the best type
of an American home. They will be
active in church and community af-
fairs and they will be a credit to their
state and to the nation which reared
them"

Jimmy Spence looked wistfully at

years old, and did not understand
many things, but he wondered especial
" why he must not speak to the old
gentleman to whose house he went
sometimes.
Nobody would tell him that, not
even his grandmother, who was 80 kind
to him. But nothing had ever stood
between Josiah Spence and his happi-
ness except his pride. He was called
hard, but 1t was the hardness Of man
ready to melt II the proper solvent
could be applied.
II his only son, Tom, had been willing
to say he was wrong, Josiah would
have forgiven him. But the boy had
never said he was wrong, not even
when he was baby So the two had
lived within three blocks Of each other,
and had not spoken for ten years.
Tom was married, and Josiah knew
bis wife quite well by sight, though he
never recognized her. He knew that
his wife and Toms met at Toms house,
and when little Jimmy began to- be
brought to his home Josiah said moth

Lad, or admit his existence.

looked at them and thought Of the days
when Tom had been his little boy, be-
fore the stubborn nature developed In
him.
The mother felt that 1t was Toms
duty to make up with father. Josiah
was growing old. II Tom would say he
had been to blame! But Tom refused,

Citation.
She had hoped that little JImmy's
advent would change the situation. But
Josiah, although secretly moved by the
sight Of the child. did not bulge from
his position. Let Tom say he had been
wrong, and he would open his house to
him and his wife. In despair. the
mother made final appeal to Tom.
Il won't say I was wrong, because I
wasn't" was Toms answer.
There matters rested, and the years
began to go by. Little Jimmy was seven
now, and still his grandfather had
never spoken to him. Jimmy wondered
more and more. Some day he would
have TO be told.
Josiah Spence was seyenty-Hve. He

soften toward Tom. But he longed for

BIC FIRE IN ATLANTA

Carleton Cushrlan, a former Pen
sacola boy, but who is now residing
in Atlanta, had to move more than
once to get out of the way of the
big fire which recently swept At
lanta. "The big fire was checked
after being so close we could feel
intense heat, and were smoked. We
moved out into a big lot" he wrote
his mother, next door and a spark
burned the corner off a mattress.
Moved back in again this morning.
Spent night with friends, most try
ing experience we ever had. Ours
is a large house and was in direct
path, but two boys on roof with hose
saved the place many times"
The writer of the above is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry c. Cushman
of this city, and is widely known in
this city where he was born and spent
his boyhood. His friends will be
pleased to learn that he escaped as
fortunately as he did.

corn meal is highly nutritious, it con

prophylactiCs and a too frequent use
Of it will tend to a further develop

This would seem to be q coed time
to tell the public of a remedy for
pellagra, that has become accepted
as a standard specific for this dis
ease,
Sulferro- Sol while widely known as
the greatest of all remedies for stOm-
ach and blood troubles, has probably
done more toward the eradication of
pellagra than all other remedies com
bined.
Sulferro-SoI is not made. 1t is
purely natural and is sold just as
it comes from nature. No other
medicine is now known which will so
quickly and surely heal blood troubles
and build up strength.
1t is recommended that SulferrO-
Sol be kept in the house and taken
as a preventative for pallagra as it

Pathe Gold Rooster play, produced
by Balboa in five parts, starring Lois
Meredith, at the Bonita Theatre.
With a strong story and a popular
star, "Sold at Auction" a Pathe Gold
Rooster play, will be shown at the
Bonita theatre today.
Lois Meredith, the featured player,
is one of the youngest stars of stage
or screen. The title role in Peg o.
My Heart" featured once in Help
Wanted" and "MOdesty in Every
woman" are some of the parts which
she has played with rather amazing
success for one so young. The Pre-
Gious Packet" Pathe's Gold Rooster
play, the film version of Belasco's
The Woman" and other bhotoplays,
are among the productions in which
she has been seen on the screen.
"Sold at Auction" has g message
to every woman forced to fight her
own way. Situation is said to fol-
low situation and there is a strong
love interest which makes the con-
fiict of the action all the more power
full.
To remove forever anything that
will remind him of his dreams of hap
piness shattered by his wife's inf
deity, Stanley sends his infant
daughter Nan to be cared for by d
woman named Hopkins.
He furnishes money regularly for
her support but never goes to see
her. Nan is treated as a slave, re-
eeiving none of the money intended
for her.
She is carried by the tide of events
into what is known as a matrimon-
ial agency. Entirely ignorant of the
world, she does not suspect it is
worse.
Nan is placed al auction and her
own father bids for her. The strong
climax and denouement held the at
tention,
With this strong story, excellent
photography and direction and Lois
Meredith's wide popularity, "Sold at
Auction" is a drama with a punch"
There Isl nothino in it to offend and
it has many delightful situations in
which Miss Neredith's ability to in
terpret "laugh-and-tear" pats is
given full scope.
