2. Nj. FLOYD, attorney-at-IaW'
Four years ago the president OF
the Washington College OF Law ad-
vised pretty 17-year-old Pauline
Margaret Floyd to put up her hair"
before beginning her legal career.
Somehow the dignifed professor Of
law couldn't see a lawyer with brown
curls hanging over her shoulders.
Miss Pauline took her professors 5
advice and last Monday was admitted
to the Washington bar with the afore-
said curls demurely piled on the top
Of her head.
I'm to be p. M. Floyd" she said
last night, "and within a few years
expect to hang out my shlngle in
Washington as an expert on domestic
relations.

I'D take a divorce case for a wo-
man." she added, but 1 wouldn't
for a man. II seems to me that nine
times out OF ten the man is to blame,
and then he usually is, even in the
tenth"
As little Miss Floyd spoke she look
ed every inch the champion of the
oppressed OF her sex. despite her curls
and lack OF inches.

GOING INTO DEBT

Young people starting out in life
should not be afraid to go into debt,
provided the debt is incurred for a
legitimate purpose and is backed by
a firm determination to make good.
Often times young men and women
struggle along, trying to accumulate
"a little money here and there, when,
if they had more faith in their own
powers to ''put it across" they could
borrow enough money to start out on
a venture which, bolstered up with
hard work, will soon yield enough
not only to pay back the debt but al
so to furnish the means for another
venture. And in addition to this, an
honest debt renders young man OF
| woman more efficient and encourages
thrift.

BABCOCK

DR.. Morse was professional caller
at Norway Ridge Tuesday.
The people of Babcock who braved
the rain last Sunday felt fully repaid
by the fine music which the band, of
twelve members, which Rev. Thorow,
Of Grand Rapids, gave them. Rev.
Thurow is good musician himself and
both plays and talks we'll. Besides
the music and the sermon, the Luth-
eran ladies had cake and ice cream in
the afternoon which was also we'll
received.
The alarm of fire was given about
noon, Monday and it was learned that
the home of T. Styles was on fire. It
seems that Mrs. Styles had gone to
the store to do some shopping and
had left her oil heater burning. 1t is
not known just how the fire started,
but it is thought from the stove in
some way. On account of the rainy
day there were many men in town
who extinguished the flames before
the house was burned down, but a.
bout everything inside was ruined by
the smoke and water

said he was walking down the street
directly behind a small boy who was
eating banana with a great deal
OF gusto. When he had finished, he
glanced slyly about and not seeing
anyone looking at him, dropped the
banana peeling just beside the walk.
He then ran on for about ten steps.
stopped abruptly, turned about, walk
ed back and picked UP the peeling.
My friend, curious to know the cause
of such peculiar actions said to the
boy, why did you go back and pick
up that banana peeling after you had
thrown it down ?"
We'll, you see," he said, my father
told me that in order to be president
of the United States, I must be a
good citizen and after I dropped that
peeling on the walk, something .old
me that a good citizen wouldn't do
that SO [ went back quick and picked
it up"
That boy certainly had the right
idea of a good citizen. Would that
every boy and girl in our little city
had the same aim and the same con-
science.

LABOR SAVING DEVICES

There is always some discussion
amongst wise heads about the compar-
alive aid from inventions which men
and women have in turning out their
work. 1t was the writer's fortune re-
Gently to hear a discussion of the very
point, and it developed that contrary
to what it commonly believed, wo-
men really have as great number of
labor saving devices to aid them with
their house work as men have to aid
them with their farm work. But the
commonly accepted idea arises, much
to the discredit of husbands in general,
from the fact that as a rule women
are not supplied with labor saving de-
vices by the men of their family in
anything like the same proportion
that the men buy labor saving devices
for themselves. Undoubtedly the men
feel that they earn the living and
should be permitted to have as much
aid as mechanical skill can give them,
Of course there is much truth in this.
