Men were constantly stopping at

I'd notice men stop; some would
look at the mule; others would take

think it rather odd; that and other
things 1 couldn't understand, so one
day 1 asked Jason why his mule
wouldn't sell? He only laughed, a
short, odd laugh, and said, ''They
don't fetch the price" And, some
times I'd detect the odor of whisky
on his breath, and then he'd laugh
silly and often. Poor Mrs. SWaford
seemed worried and more nervous at
such times. Sometimes when a car
stopped, she'd appear strangely up
set until she'd made sure who the
occupants were. [ wondered about
things more and more, as time went

a girl to go car riding in the after

From a party at night, is it proper

MARY MEREDITA'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

| When your main ideal in life is
to be an actress. do you think your
parents should object. I like to look
| into the faces of the great actors
and actresses. L am greatly inter
ested in movies and do you think I
could be one? If so, please answer
my questions for I'm so anxious to
know what your opinion is.
What is your opinion of a movie
star, an actress? Do you think it
is a decent position for girl? How
old do they nave to be? Where can
l get the information toward this?
To whom must 1 write for other in
formation? Do you have any OBJ
jections of any kind against an &C
tress? Where can one begin their
career as a movie star?
/ If you can tell me what kind of
an education one must have before
! they can begin their career on the
| stage, please do. I thank you and
please answer these questions in
The Atlanta Journal. I'm anxious to
know all of this. I am
"IMPATIENTLY WAITING"
ANSWER: No, 1 don't think
you are foolish to want to be an
actress-it's just the youth and
feminine nature of you. But it's
a very long, hard road, and you
would be thoroughly sick of it
before you became famous. Why
not choose some profession where
the odds are not so great? 1t
is practically impossible to get
into the movies now, unless you
have had years of stage expert
| ence.
Miss Meredith do you think a
| girl should run an airplane? 1 want
to be an aviatrix and a female dare
devil" Do you think 1 have the
wrong idea? Ever since 1 saw the
aviators that visited our town
have longed. to fly a plane myself.
1 want to Be famous and 1 am old
enough to care for myself, too. I
am almost twenty. L have visited
great deal and am we'll thought
| of as far as character is concerned
and have no one to encourage me and
if you will advice me in this matter
| will appreciate it very much? Per-
haps I have wild ideas. but 1 do
want to drive an airplane and make
the "trans-Pacifi flight if 1 can.
| Please give me your opinion on this
! and tell me where [ may begin the
process.
LILLIAN.
ANSWER: Your desire to fly
an airplane is not so unusual.
Nearly everybody feels the same
way, but girls cannot always do
what they want, and it would
take time and money to learn to
fly.

gagged to a boy the same age; are
we too young to marry? Although
we are not ready to marry yet, is
it any harm to let him kiss me good
night? How can l entertain boys
and girls when they come to my
home on Sunday afternoons? [ don't
like to play the organ and sing. Is
it proper to sit in the porch after
dark? How late should he stay at
night. Thank you for your advice.
BLACK EYES.
ANSWER: You are much too
young to marry, and [ do not
think that young people should
tie themselves up in long engage
ments. Wait until you are old
enough to marry, before you try
to play at love-making. You
should not allow him to kiss
you.
Simple games, and converse
ton should be ample to enter
tain your friends. You might
serve simple refreshments, if
lou like-cake and hot choco-
ltte or something of the sort.
1t is not improper for a crowd
u boys and girls to sit on the
porch after dark. A boy should
not stay later than ten o'clock
at most.

Il is the purpose of Prof. Moeers to

shown TO be best for feed and forage

such amouRts of fertilization as the
average farmer here can readily afford
to use. He does not expect to adopt
any intensive farming, but will endea-
