We are informed that Miss Nora Lamereaux, who has been in St. Johns for the past year will leave for Salt Lake City, Utah in the very near future where she will meet the man of her choice and join hands across the altar in the temple for the purpose of becom- ing man and wife. Miss Lamer- eaux is a charming young lady and has made many friends dur ing her short stay with us here. The groom, we are not acquaint- ed with, but we venture a guess that he is alright, for Miss Nora would not have made the choice if he were not. We join their friends in wishing them happi- ness through life,

He informs us that he has made arrange ments for some extra good spec ial films which he will put on the screen here. MT. Updike is a man who believes in getting the best possible for his patrons and leaves no stone unturned in his effort to meet the growing de- mands of the movie patrons.

SMALLPOX

Owing to the fact that there is prevalent in this county an epem- ic of Smallpox in a mild form (some cases not so mildl and which if allowed to continue will in all probability as Summer and Fall comes on become more severe. And it is up to the people to help stop this dreaded disease while it is yet in so mild a form. Several families have been quarantined, and did their part in trying to prevent it from spreading further. Others have it and do not report it. It Is this class of cases which keeps the disease in the commun- ity.
 The law requires that "every householder who shall KNOW or SUSPECT that any person on his or her premises or any member of his or her family is suffering from a contagious disease (such as Small pox, etc.) shall forth with make report to the local board of health or health officer, except where a physician has at tended such person, in which case the physician shall make the re- port. "
 Smallpox is one of the diseases which comes under Absolute Quarantine which means that no person may enter or leave the house or premises or remove any article therefrom without the permission of an authorized agent of the county board of health, during such quarantine. And these rules should be rigidly ad- hered to. There is a heavy pen atty for not doing so. Hereafter we shall expect the citizens to cooperate with us in stopping this epidemic before it becomes more serious by reporting cases as soon as suspected and also by observ- ing the rules of quarantine. Otherwise it may last indefnately and serious cases are most sure to develop.

II Bit of Hrance
!: and French !:
The Villa Plaisance

! The Villa Plaisance was a popular
place of entertainment near the
beautiful and ancient city of Saumer
France, where Americans were sta
toned during the war This place
was between Saumer and St. Florent
and both the French and American
military police did not bother around
so long as nothing happened.
The most that could happen was
scrap between the American boys
and young French SWANS and that
did not happen. Each seemed to re-
spect the others way of enjoying
himself. The French boys were very
boisterous. They talked loud and
roughed each others hair. The
American fellows, with the same in
clinations, wore their caps and cam
paign hats low over the right ear
and stared all corners in the eye. It
was plain to be seen they wore q
chip on one shoulder too.
The place was simply a cafe and
restaurant, with dance floor on the
side. The music was furnished by
a rafting old player piano. The
dancing was all French whirligigs,
which the Americans did not care
much for. There was always a
crowd on Sunday afternoons and
evenings, and always a dance
Ahe building was like hollow
square, with two wings that pro-
jected to the rear, leaving a fiat
street front, with a central entry
way, and arch closed by heavy
wooden barn-doors. At one side Of
this there was small cafe entrance,
which was the only sign Of life at
night, for it shone with the light
from behind.
The cafe, dance floor and veranda
were at the rear in the hollow square
and the grounds were beautifully
parked and had swings and arbors.
They served light wines to the
American soldiers and everything to
the French; but If one could get on
the right side Of the pretty wait
resses it was possible to have little
cognac in coffee. The cafe and
veranda were filed with small tables
where the guests sat and visited and

some ROAD
KNOCKERS VIEWS
Citizens Who do Not
Read, or Reading do
Not Believe
HAVE BEEN TOLD

There is citizen here and there
who is very diligent these days talk
ing against the road bonds, and he
usually indicates that he has not
read any Of the declarations made by
the county commissioners, or if he
has read them he discredits them.
There are men who are still saying
| they are for the good roads, but they
want to know where the roads a .'e
going to be made before they vote
the bonds. They seem to have over
looked the many published state
ments already made by the board
defining that matter
They say also that they want to
know that the money will not be
wasted on engineering, and the COM
missioners have for the past three
weeks, been assuring the public thru
the press that they were going to
cut the engineering costs to the
quick, because there are few engin-
eering problems to deal with on this
hat country, and because they have
seen money wasted by engineers un-
der state supervision. The citizen
knocker seems not to have read these
oft-repeated statements made over
the signatures of county officials,
and some of them when referred to
such printed statements, say the
commissioners have not yet told
them personally. This indicates that
our bond DIRECTORS want the commits
sioners to spend their time going
over the county telling people by
word of mouth just what they in |
tend to do. If that were done, these
same men would probably be quick
to say that men who spend their
Inc running for office and then
spend their time chasing around the /
country talking all the time, must |,
have some scheme in mind by which !
to get away with part of the money. |
NO matter what the officers do, |
these men would shout calamity
We suggest that each man who is
raising objections to the bonding
shall analyze himself and
his position and see how he looks to
The other folks. We suggest that
ne take the objections one by one
md weigh them and see how many
u them will stand scrutiny. He
night rake up some of the old
Mother Goose rhymes and count
around the circle of his objections
rs he did when he was a small boy
playing any one of those old games
where the process of Sitting out was
lone by the little verses running like
his:
)ne-ery, two-ery, tiggery, tay;
1ollible, crackable, tender, lay;
)win, dwan, musky Ion,
'widdle, twaddle, twenty-one.

was the preacher He made good
enough so that you often hear his
name mentioned. Margaret Fuller
was there too. She is chiefly to be
remembered because when she had
said II accept the universe" old
Thomas Carlyle, Scotchman who
suffered much from indigestion, re-
marked Shed better!" Henry David
Thoreau was Of and yet apart from
this hifallutin crowd. He was the
original American queer feller,"
wrote unique stuff we'll worth read
ing even today. He lived by him
self and he wouldn't pay any atten-
ton to the tax collector. He spent
some Of his time in jail, but it
seemed to make him write all the
better. He would have made a
splendid martyr, only they didn't
need any martyrs at the time, and
nobody cared much what his princi-
Pies were just so he paid his tax,
which he didn't. He was a mystic
and wise guy. II you read him you
will learn much that you don't know
already.
Tnen tnere were the Cambridge
scholars in the period just prior to
our civil war. Longfellow and
Lowell were the big poets. Bancroft
and Prescott wrote excellent history.
Longfellow has always been popular,
but he has NOT, possibly, yet reached
his zenith. When we forget all this
stuff about there being no great
American poets we shall think quite
a bit more Of our own Longfellow.
Lowell too is steadily gaining
ground. "Evangeline" will never out
grow its popularity because it be-
longs to our soil. Lowell's "Vision
of Sir Launfal" is we'll known to all
school children and would be better
thought Of If it were not made a
memory study" by foolish school
teachers. 1t is trick Of incompe-
tence.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, the
poetical doctor, we shall never tire
of, for he Is witty and strikes deep.
And then he wrote many beautiful
bits of poesy. He's a Boston man,
but his writings are good, anyway.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which Is very
injurious as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
ind beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about teaspoonful is
all that Is required. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich. creamy lather.
