A woman always waits until she
hasn't a single thing to write about
and then she sits down and writes a
letter to some other woman.
Some of the June -bridegrOoms are
discovering that while two hearts
may beat as one, two mouths can't
eat as one.

AS long as his wife isn't sick in
bed the average married man can't
see what his wife wants with a serv-
ant in the house.
Some of the ome folks SEEM to
visit each other just to get even.
The reason why a wife uses her
husbands razor for ripping seams is
because she doesn't want her scis-
sors to get dull.
Why is It that the nan who won't
waste a moment on the lingerie dis
play in a department store window
will waste four hours on the lingerie

\ LEAGUE SOCIAL

i most enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mir and Mrs. E, H. Allain last Thursday, Feb 12, by the Epworth Leaguers of the M E. Church.
 i short business meeting was held, during which the president, H. L. Per kins gave in his resignation. Prof. c. NJ Ward was unanimously elected to i'll his place. The meeting was then turned over to the social committee. As it was Lincoln's birthday, several selections "As I remember MT. Lin coin" were given. After this music, singing and different games were in dulged in, among which was a very amusing contest A suitcase was brought in which contained wearing apparel for both a lady and gentle man ready for journey. The couple had to don each article, turn around once, take them off and pack again in as quick time as, possible. This caused a great deal of merriment, as there was variety of odd pieces. The quickest time, one minute and thirty seconds, was made by Harry Berry and Miss Mary Zimmerman. Delight ful refreshments were served by the committee. At late hour the guests departed, voting many thanks to the host and hostess for the most delight ful evening they had spent.

APPEAL TO WOMEN TO STOP
 USE OF TOBACCO
Increased Use Among Women in 1919
 Was Appalling"

Washington, Feb. 6.-Increased use of tobacco among women during 1919 was appalling" according to the board of temperance, prohibition and morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In a statement made public here today the board called attention to the necessity of making an earnest appeal to women to refrain from the use of tobacco in the name of the country's welfare, no matter what strict justice may declare their right and privilege to be.
 No nation can maintain the vigor which has been characteristic of the American people after it's women be- gin the use of cigarettes" the state ment said. "The sedentary life of wo- men tends to an excess in the use of tobacco and produces more serious results than is caused by it's use among men. The effect of tobacco upon women is similar to it's effect on immature youths"

MODERN WOODMEN AT WORK

Modern Woodmen of America throughout the United States are talk ing an active interest in the Thrift movement, and many lodges in the Eighth Federal Reserve District have notified the Savings Division of the Treasury Department that the lodges have pledged themselves to dispose of as large an amount of Thrift Stamps during 1920 as possible. Ad- vices received are that many of the members are subscribing as individ- uals for United States Treasury Saw ings Certificates.

MRS. MURPHY'S MONEY
She Had It Stashed Away in Glas.
 Jar And Now It Has Gone Hence

The Muskogee Times Democrat narrated sad story anent a certain Mrs. Murphy who went to her fruit jar bank one day and found that someone had taken the savings of many years to wit: eight hundred dollars.
 The money in the fruit jar was idle. It was out of circulation. It was rem dering no service to anyone.
 Yet there are hundreds of persons in every community who are hand ling money in the same foolish un- productive way.
 Whatever is said about banks, mon- ey placed in them is more safe and basis of credit.
 Bank deposits add to a credit of the individual, the bank and the communi- ty, it's resources and stability.
 Always a certain percentage of de- posits are loaned out to carry on in- dustries, business enterprises and to employ labor.
 If Mrs Murphy had invested her $500 in Treasury Savings Certifi- cates. and they were registered, her savings would not be lost to her. And if she had accumulated them the thrifty way-by buying Thrift Stamps, exchanging them for War Savings Stamps and finally into Treasury Savings Certificates the iIi- terest she would have earned would give her considerably more than SlO0O instead of the total loss she was com pelled to pocket.
