RUTHLESS VANDALISM.

A few months since, there was I'M
yelled at Old Fort Early site ten
miles distant from Cordele, a mas
sive granite boulder, marking the site
where once stood the old log block
house fort, relic of Georgia's pio-
neer days. On the face of this boul-
der was securely fastened with &C.
ment and heavy screens, an expensive
bronze plate, bearing an inscription,
setting forth the purpose of the boul-
der and the date of its erection. The
placing of this beautiful and expensive
memorial was the work of Fort Early
Chapter d. A. R., of Cordele. With
loving hands and willing hearts did
the chapter plan, maneuver and work
to erect this memorial, that it might
preserve glorious part of our states
history; that it might honor and per-
petuate the memory and glory of our
sires in their deeds of valor and hero
ism. 1t was indeed the work of love,
gratitude and appreciation on the
part Of the Daughters. And Fort Ear
ly chapter felt that any son or daugh-
ter of the grand old state Of Georgia,
who should chance to visit this his
toric shrine, would with uncovered
head stand in the presence of this
memorial, and recounting the services
and sacrifices Of the men whose deeds
it commentaries, exclaim with an i'm

ADVICE IN RHYME.

Pin your faith to those who love you
Regard no one who feels above you
But let those who really are
Be like unto your guiding star.
Watch the man who has no mission,
Regardless of his rank or station;
Let him not thy faith ensnare;
He will cause thee to despair.
Cast no slurs at him who's down;
But lift him up with helping hand,
If possible on thy plane to stand

THOUGHTS FOR *THiE DAY.

If you would increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your
neighbor's faults. Forget all the SLAM
der you ever heard. Forget the fault
finding, and only remember the good
points which make you fond of them.
Forget all personal quarrel, of histo-
ries you may have heard by accident,
and which if repeated, would seem a
thousand times worse than they really
are. Blot out, as far as possible, all the
disagreeableness of life; they will
come, but will only grow larger when
you remember them. Obliterate every
thing disagreeable from yesterday
start out with a clean sheet today
and write upon it for sweet memorys
sake only those things which are love-
ly and lovable.

RUTH, RUNAWAY AT II, SUCCUNGBS TO ALL
MENT OF ALL NORMAL GIRLS; WANTING
TO BE SEEN
"a WlNONA WILCOX

BY WINONA WlLCON
Ruth Lewis. Il years old, Of Hugo,
Okla, has run away from home four
times. She wants to be a movie
queen. She says her home is happy
but it isn't getting her anywhere in
her career.
Probably Ruth's researches in
modern literature have not yet led
her very deep into the study of
suffrage theories. The economical
independence Of woman with a ca
reer has no lure for Ruth. It doesn't
really attract many women.
What gets" Ruthie is glamor-
Just as it is getting hundreds of other
girls who are older than she is.
Ruth wants to be seen. So does
the greater part of the youngish fe-
male population. Now that this con-
tagion has attacked a little 11-year-
old in Oklahoma, it probably has
completed conquest Of the country.
Fortunately, few mothers find the
disease affecting primary school
girls, but few escape the ordeal IN the
high school period.
Then mothers suddenly discover
the symptoms-the lip stick, the
rouge pot and an absorbing interest
in the shape, size and color Of shoes,
These things are as catching as
the measles and not so easily cured.
They generally develop into
chronic trouble extravaganza. And
BRIDEGROOM will find himself in for
bills his salary was never intended to
cover.
Serious persons all over the land
are trying to stop this plague Of bold
and expensive dressing among school
girls. Some private academies limit
the cost ola pupils wardrobe. Some
adopt a standardized costume like
the MILDLY.
