GETS MANY PROPOSALS.
American Girl Makes Hit With the
 Doughboys Singing Nursery Song.

Paris Jan. 1.--+Miss Helen Besler, daughter of the president of the Gen. tral Railroad of New Jersey, is prob ably the most proposed-to girl in France today. It all came about be- cause \one night in one of the Ameri- can camps she ran out of "encores," and sang a little nursery song called 'If No One Ever Marries Me" It goes like this:
 If no one ever marries me
 And I don't see why they should,
 For nurse says I am not pretty,
 And I'm seldom very good"
 The direfuI fate of the little girl in the song was to be to buy a rabbit hutch and live all alone in 8 little wood. But the American soldiers saw no reason why Miss Besler, who is pretty and ''petite,' and a typical American girl, should have a similar lot After they had given her the three cheers and a tiger with which they usually thank the Y. M. C. A. en- tertainers, they hesitated a moment and then added a purely personal mes sage.
 ''Barkis is willin', called the A. F. F. as one man.
 Since then the incident has been re- peated in every American camp Miss Besler has visited. No censor would allow an estimate of the number of proposals she received in that way to pass.

Storm in Michigan
Damages Many Plants

DETROIT, Dec. 1.-Scores of in
dustrial plants here and in other
cities of the state are temporarily
closed or their production curtailed
because of the hurricane which swept
across the southern Michigan late
Saturday, according to reports early
today. Miles of electric, power wire
were leveled to the ground by the
wind. Stacks of power plants were
1eveled at many factories, and other
damage done that will take days to
repair.
The demoralized interurban cleo
trio railway system in the southern
portion of the state will not be re-
turned to normal, it was stated, for
several days.
Fresh tales of damage are being
received as wire communication is
being restored, but early today the
list of deaths remained at six, five
killed here and one near Jackson,
although hundreds are reported to
have been injured by. flying debris
and broken glass. From all over the
state come reports of buildings dam
aged houses wrecked and trees lev
eled. ~
Lake Huron and Lake Michigan
points failed to show any material
marine losses, and Lake Superior was
said to have. been out of the path
of the storm.

Many Hogs Being
Shipped From BuIIoCh

STATESBORO, Ga.---With local
buyers in tt market for hogs and
prices from l. to Is cents being
paid on the foot, many hogs are be-
ing shipped from this county. Dur
ing the past week Mallard Brothers,
local buyers, shipped several cars
to packers in Savannah and Atlanta.
Most of the hogs in these shipments
were large and weighed on an aver
age of $50 to 400 pounds apiece.
Many of the hog raisers of the
county are complaining of the Sc
rious damages being done to their
herds by the continuous dry wealth
er. 1t has been more than six
months since a good heavy rain
has visited Bulloch county, and the
fields where the hogs have been
turned in to feed are nothing more
than dust beds. Most Of the farm
ers plant peanuts and potatoes to
| fatten their hogs on, and when
the corn and other products are
gathered, the hogs are then turned
in to gather the peanuts or pota-
| toes or whatever else there is for
them. All creeks and streams Of
every description are dry and water
| is being hauled from the farm
yards to supply the hogs.
1t is estimated that Bulloch coun-
ty raised more hogs this year than
any two years put together in the
past, and many hogs are being pre-
pared for shipment from States
boro within the next few weeks.
With the big Bulloch county pack
ing plant standing idle many packers
from other cities are expected to
send buyers here this winter to buy
hogs from the Bulloch county farm

Resumption of work it might produce
