you if you will do as 1 suggest.
5. I am a lonely girl of sixteen
coming to you for advice. am the
only child of my parents. am
going with a boy my parents OBJECT
to. He has a bad reputation. MY
papa says he will disinherit me if L
marry him. He says he is true to
friend of his. and they tell my par
ents. So l a mhalted between two
opinions. What must 1 do? Must l
take the boy and never come home
again. They have plenty and he has
nothing. 1 get anything I want, but
he is not able to do anything for
me and my dad. My dad has bought
me a piano and car, and I will get
nothing if 1 take him and will have
to work. w.
Answer-Your very letter shows
two things, that you do not love the
boy and that he does not love you.
If you loved him you would not pc
thinking of what he could or could
but would be glad to go with him in
utter poverty. And If he loved you
he would not show your letters to
other persons. A man who cares for
a woman cherishes her love letters
as something sacred, and for himself
alone. l would not hesitate mo-
ment in doing just as my father re-
quests Let the boy go. Then ask
your father to send you off to good
girls college where you can secure
an education and fit yourself to
amount to omething in life. [ know
that he will do it, as. he seems glad
to give you everything you want.
Let me know what you decide to DO
49, 1 am corresponding with
boy that 1 dearly love and he says
that he loves me and has asked me
to marry him. MY father doesn't
want me to go with him. He calls
to see me very often. How often
should a boy go to see girl? L
also have a friend in France. I was
engaged to him before he left but
haven't heard from him in a good
while. Should I wait for him or
marry the one at home? He asked
me to wait until he came back but
1 love the boy at home the best.
BLUE EYES.
Answer-If YOU are engaged to the
boy in France l think that you should
wait until he returns home and then
tell him frankly that you have found
out that you love the boy at home
the best and ask him to release you
from the engagement. In the mean
time. I would not go with the boy
at home so much. if my father OBJ
iected. Just tell him that in defrence
to your fathers wishes you have de-
cided not to let hi income to see you
so often. If he loves you it will not
lessen his feeling for you.

THE DEATH RECORD.
MRS. SUSAN ELIZABETH LYLE

Il
Mrs. Susan Elizabeth Lyle. of Ell
der Hill, near Frieadsville, died on
February 4th, 1919, and was buried
at Friendsville on February 9th, be-
ing at the time of her death in her
seth year. Funeral services were held
at her home on the day OF her burial
by her pastor. Mrs. Lyle decided for
Christ and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church in her sixteenth
year. Her quiet and consistent life
as a Christian was a benediction to
her husband, her children and her
other relatives, who now mourn the
loss of a devoted wife, mother, daugh-
ter and sister. Although Mrs. Lyle
suffered great deal before her de-
parture from this life, yet she was
always conscious of the presence of
her Lord, and this was especially true
just before she died, for it was then
that Christ was most precious to her
and even after her death a peaceful
smile could be seen on her counte-
nance. No doubt many who attend
ed the funeral services of this devoted
Christian women were disposed to Of
fer the well-known prayer found in
the Holy Scriptures: let me die
the death of the righteous, and let my
last end be like hers"
Mrs. Lyle was the loving daughter
of S. F. and Martha A. Cuppett of
Elder Hill who, with her hus-
band, five children and one sister,
hope to meet her again in that land
where sorrow and signing are I'M
known. For there shall be no night
there; and they need no candle, Meth
er light of the sun; for the Lord God
giveth them light; and they shall
reign forever and ever"

GOVERNMENT EXTRAVAGANCE

Any private enterprise conducted
ION the financial plan of the United
States government would be bank
rupt in few weeks The only thing
that saves the government of the IN
tied States from bankruptcy is the
willingness of the people to submit
to any burden of taxation which Con-
gress sees fit to impose In war time
they are willing, of course, to make
allowances for emergencies and for
haste and for a great deal of I'M
avoidable waste, but in peace times
they are entitled to protection and
somebody is going to make the pro-
test strong enough and loud enough
presently to compel the adoption of
the budget system
Nothing will contribute more to the
confidence of the people in their gov
eminent than the adoption of bust
ness principles in the spending of
their money The time must come,
and soon, when the different branches
of the government will make up in
advance and submit to scrutiny esti-
mates of their needs, and will be
confined to such allowances as the
people ought to be required to fur
nish, and expenditures in excess will
be dealt with as violations of the
law

E. church at this place has been in
successful progress since last Tues

of the past few days has had the eff
feet of starting our people to clean
up the grounds surrounding their
respective homes and now they are
all planning for the spring house,
cleaning jollifcation which is a de-
light for the gentler sex but the bane
of the Muscular members of the av-
erage household
We are hoping for good results
from the meeting of the board of di-
rectors which is scheduled to take
place soon
Many inquiries have been received
already this spring for cottages and
other properties for summer occupan-
cy and with the early opening of the
season as indicated by weather con-
dition now prevalent we hope for a
successful and somewhat longer sea
son than we have had for some years
past
The hope is expressed that the pur-
chasers of the old Hotel bennett will
erect a number of four or five room
bungalows here with the material in
stead of shipping it away Such
building are always in demand and
can be readily rented.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Correspondent Suggests the Erection
Of a Memorial Other than a Mon

/ ument.
To the Editor of The Republican.
1t is a splendid thought to erect
an appropriate memorial to our BOYS
the brave, unselfish young men VINO
have recently and so nobly sacrificed
their all in the heroic struggle for hui
mainly and in which many made the
supreme sacrifice
But the great majority are living
and in the best of health, but manned
for the rest of their lives.
While l am in hearty sympathy
with the memorial movement in our
county and wish to help as l shall
be able to do, | wish to suggest:
Would it not be more fitting to
erect a splendidly equipped building
for the comfort and convenience. of
the men who are yet living, and also
members of the great army of the
Red Cross, who helped so nobly in
making possible the signal victory
so recently won, and put in this build
ing or at its entrance a memorial
tablet with the name of every one
who died in the service and who went
from our county, on it.
Washington's monument speaks as
it stands, the high regard and graf
itude for his accomplishments, but
could he have been consulted | think
ne would have advised a different
structure.
In consultation with our late good
friend and brother, Scott T. Jones.
concerning a home for the aged in
our county, which he heartily APPROX
ed, but in order to make it a real and
lasting success he said, secure an en-
dowment fund that will make it pos
sible."
Splendid building sites can be Sc
cured and at no great distance from
the main line of communication in our
county, where never failing springs
abound which may be utilized for all
purposes and in some cases the vol
ume of water will be sufficient to
generate electrical power.
hope the committee appointed will
at least give these suggestions some
consideration. j. A. Z.
