care of paper
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
20 years Of age, and have never gone
with any boys, yet I met a young
man and he wants to correspond. Do
you think it would be all right? He
seems to think a great deal of me
and I like him. BROWN EYES.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of Is, have light hair, blue eyes and
a fair complexion. have very short,
thick curly hair and wear 1t in curls-
from six to II. Do you think I am
too old for that style?
/ have several admirers, but only
one that know I care for. Do you
think / should care for him, or have
good time with all young people?
] have known this young man for one
and half years and correspondent
with him constantly. He seems to
really care for me at times, and then
again, he seems Indifferent. That
makes me like him the more, because
he keeps me guessing. Do you think
he loves me?
Yes, you are too old to wear your
hair as you say. If you pinned the
curls to the top Of your head it would
look all right. 1 imagine from what
you say that your hair is almost
bobbed in length. Older women some
times look we'll with their hair bobbed.
but a girl who is just past childhood
looks awkward with her hair combed
as she combed it in childwood.
Have a good time with different
young men. Probably the young man
you care for is too young to be in
love and realizes the fact.

The Diary of an Engaged Girl

The rest Of the day passed like a

wonderful, and there were SO many
people to watch and everything.

The trip down the bay and out into
the ocean was too beautiful for words,
the sun shone SO warmly, and every
one was in holiday mood.
We sat up on the deck and never
moved from there until six o'clock, so
enhancing was the scene before US.
We had been sailing for about an
hour or so, when we suddenly saw
and heard an airplane of in the dis

graceful gyrations, and the speed with

After giving an exhibition for some
time, the airplane commenced to circle
about, getting nearer and nearer to
the water; and then, when 1t was at
height of about three hundred feet
or so, it swooped over towards our
ship, and we caught a glimpse of Its
pilot, waving and smiling down at us.
Twice he circled around 'The Star
land" and then held up q huge bunch
Of American Beauty roses, and threw
them down at the ship. They missed
by several feet, alas, and fell into the
sea Everyone gave a gasp as they
missed, and few minutes afterwards
the plane whirred~b again, and
we saw that 1t was no other person

They seemed very happy, though.

Woodward for Clerk of Court.

We favor the candidacy Of Phil
Woodward for the office Of clerk of
court for three definite reasons. He
is eminently qualified to perform the
duties of this office, having for 20
years been official court reporter and
having held the position of deputy
clerk in Stearns county. He is a
real farmer and consequently knows
how to work. A man who has man
aged to support family of ten stur-
dy children while living on small
farm must have developed the knack
Of working. Lastly-Phil Woodward
is the one candidate from the lake
country. The lake country never has
had county official, except the COM
missioners.
Mr.. Woodward is not a good cam
paigner, being rather modest and al
together inexperienced in the art of
electioneering However, he has at
present good fighting chance if his
friends only line up and get busy.
Let's fall in line and give Phil Wood
ward the boost he deserves.

A Valuable Asset.

Very few realize what valuable
asset to our town our public library
has grown to be in the three years of
its existence.
From a Heterogeneous collection of
less than 100 books, it has increased
to library Of 1900 volumes, many OF
which are valuable reference books
Besides the books there are 20 current
magazines in the library which, after
the short time they are retained for
use in the reading room, are put into
circulation.
We have competent librarian, who
not only keeps all books properly
catalogued, but is of great assistance
in helping the children choose the cor
rect books for their needs.
This has all been made possible by
careful management on the part of the
library board Of the money appro-
priated by. the village council-by the
combining with the school library
and by generous gifts from outside
sources. For small library it is well
diversified, and anyone can find ssuita-
BILE reading matter.
The library is open from Z to 9 on
Thursday evening and from to 5
every afternoon of the week except
Saturday and Sunday. The school dis
trict would be put to extra expense
if the library were kept open Saturday
afternoons, so the hours are regulat-
ed accordingly.

The Democratic Swing to Preus.

The democratic swing to Preus con-
tinues in Minnesota, testifying to the
growing recognition among thought
full and philosophical democrats that
their help is needed to save the state
from socialism and all its works.
In North Dakota and Wisconsin re-
publicans are focking to the demo-
cratic candidates for governor in order
to block the Townley socialist conspir-
acy. In Minnesota the only chance of
victory lies in similar combination
of republicans and democrats on Preus.
This is gaining general recognition as
the public declarations of leading dem
ocrats and the frank statements of
democratic newspapers over the state
pretty well demonstrate Minneap-
oils Journal

Pleasant Social Gathering.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman
Calhoun of Blue Hill township was the
scene of very pleasant social gath
ering on Sunday last, when party of
their old friends journeyed to their
home to spend the. day. The hostess
served most elaborate dinner at noon
and luncheon of sandwiches, salad,
pie, ice cream, cake and coffee at S
p. m. Those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. S. B. Mills, Indianapolis; Mr.. and
Mrs. Euclid Merachon, Mr.. and Mrs.

and Mrs. Calhoun, were former resi-
dents of Linn county, Iowa.
Mr.. and Mrs. s. B. Mills will leave

Judge w. v. Sanford.

No one can truthfully say that
Judge of Probate VIM. v. Sanford has
not faithfully and conscientiously per-
formed the duties of his office. It is
generally known that he is we'll verscd
in the laws covering matters of pro-
bate. BY close study of these laws
he has acquired an efficiency which
few other men have approached. Con-
'sequently to replace him with man
equally competent would be difficult
matter if not an impossibility.
Hence, being perfectly familiar with
the intricacies of his office, it seems
reasonable to conclude that to remove
him would mean an unnecessary ex-
Fermentation. He has well fitted him
self for the work, so why not return
him to office?-
