HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
pY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am thirty
five years of-age and can do anythin ;
in the line of homework. I can sew,
am pretty good piano player and
also can sing enough for my own
amusement.
am not so bad looking: I am try
ing to find out why I cannot find a
husband. There are a few men who
came to see me and when 1 refused
to let them love me or kiss me they
would not come any more.
They told me, when I was younger.
that 1 was too cold and stiff In that
line 1 have nothing to regret, as do
not believe in allowing everybody to
have such privileges. Can you advise
me? L would love to have a home of
my own and am longing for compan-
ionship and some one to love me-
MELTING ICICLE.
Life seems to be the working out
of destiny. AS long as you do as near
" as possible what you consider right
there is no chance to have regrets.
This course may make your life more
lonely. but nevertheless it is right.
Perhaps you will marry late in life.
Keep your high standards and hope
There is little you can do except 10
be friendly when you meet men, Try
to interest them in talking and they
will enjoy themselves with you
Dear Mrs. Thompson: we.are a
young married couple and we dis
agree on the question of loving. The
hubby says the wife should love as
much as the hubby and the wife says
that the hubby should do all the low
| ing. Please give us your advice.
Just word to High Flutin' Sally
we both tell her with sincerity to
wait and keep all her kisses for a
righteous good man
TWO DOVES
I judge that you mean love max
ing. The wife should not have to
seek kisses and signs of affection
from her husband He should offer
as he did before marriage.

But awful as a fire is, I am always
inspired by the brave firemen who

SCHOOL NOTES
MANY TEACHERS NEEDED
FOR BEMIDJI SCHOOL

On account of the congested con-
dition Of the Bemidji public schools,
Superintendent R. O. Bagby is find
ing difficulty in securing the services
of competent instructors for the
coming year. He is constantly on
the search for experienced teachers,
but is finding that teachers for the
upper grades and High school are
very scarce.
: Positions for next year which are
still untitled include ten grade teach
ers and number of High school in
structors. Numerous applications for
the lower grades have been filed with
Superintendent Bagby but in nearly
every instance these positions have
already been filled. The only depart
ment which has already a competent
force. engaged for next year is the
junior department of the High school.
Several of the teachers who are now
instructing at the Lincoln and the
North school have been re-engaged
to teach at the Central school next
year.
At present there are needed two
full time teachers for. the balance of
this year as well as one substitute
teacher for the remainder of the
term. r. r. ~
