The weather conditions during

BILE than for some tune past. 4 con
siderable amount Of corn was plant
ed, but Thursday night very heav,
rain fell and farming is again at q
standstill. Crops of all kinds, ever

Miss nellie Hubbard will open
the Providence public school today

Mr.. ]. d. Fairless, who has been
away for some weeks, in the mill
business, came home Saturday, but
suppose that he will go back the
first OF the week.
Mr.. Wheeler Enloe las opened
up field OF con siderable size, south
of the Prospect Cemetery, which
adds greatly to the appearance of
that section.
We cannot see wherein the over
all craze in the United States will
aid materially, except to advance
the price of overalls, and thereby
cause the laboring masses to pay
much higher prices for the pants
usually worn by them. Wonder
who got up the scheme any way (?)
We suspect that overall manufac-
turers and dealers who had large
stocks on hand had a hand in the
matter. If folks would organize
and pledge themselves to wear their
old patched, threadbare clothes,
that it seems would aid very much.
There is scarcely a man or boy that
has not old clothes enough to go
through this year on, aud folks
should organize to use less of every
thing Specializing all along down
the line is terrible and its up to the
people to stop it by not patronizing
them. 1t is very foolish indeed to
expect prices on shoes, clothing,
hats. sugar, coffee, -four, ETC., to be
reduced in any other way than to
stop buying for a time. so that the
fellows that bought heavily. expect
ing to speculate on their stock will
go broke and turn the supply loose,
We learn that Mr.. and Mrs, T. P.
Waddle's baby died few days ago
from the after effects of the Flu.
1t would seem from the newspa-
per reports that some of our high

they want second just as much

pect black horse possibly by both
parties, but we hope that man
will be elected that is 100 per cent
AMERICAN with no European strings
attached, for it does seem that we
have had enough trouble with them
to last awhile, at least, it seems
that the latest developments in
France is sufficient to put the Uni
ted States On its guard against our
becoming responsible for her acts.
In our feeble judgment those old

gerous to free government.

1hN''
The HONEYMOON is not actually over
until that illuminating moment when
a bride decides to exchange her
chiffon negligee and pink satin mules
for half a dozen bungalow aprons and
a pair Of f1at-heeled house-slippers.
A man may look upon the marriage
certificate as lust a scrap of paper,
but a decree of divorce is an expen-
sive luxury, which he keeps locked
away in the safety-vault with his Lib
erty Bonds.
You cant make man believe 1t, but
the most tragic moment Of marriage
Is that in which his wife asks him
how she looks in her new spring hat
and he stops to consider!
A husband is what's left of bache
lor after the nerve has been extracted
and alimony is what's left of hus
band after the truth has been ex
tracted
Nothing makes a woman so indig
nant as to have you agree with her
when she tearfully confides to you
her real opinion of her husband.
This is the magic time of year when
a young mans soul sings the Spring
Song" his heart throbs to Lohengrin
and his pulse beats jazz-tune.
"Duds," according to a women. are
spring clothes that fail to create a
sensation, engagements that fizzle
out; weddings that fail to go off, anc
marriages that end in Reno.
The gods must love those little
spring romances which blossom in a
mans heart. They die so young!

way that made US both smile. Once,
when we were alone, Cecil suddenly
asked me what sort of a husband
thought he would make. And ! ans
wered quite truthfully and impulsive-
ly, "Oh, a very wonderful one"
Then I felt my face grow scarlet
and l can't yet explain why. l can't
and yet l can. l just know that his
question suddenly made me put my
self in the place of being the girl he
loved, his wife, and l wondered (sub-
consciously, of course) how it would
feel to be loved by and married to
Cecil. 1t made me feel queer some
how.
Cecil never seemed to notice my
blush, for which l was more than
grateful.
II think you would be awfully good
to woman" I explained, and above
all you would be tolerant, and that's
what most modern women are seeking
in the men they marry today-toler'

discover 1t anywhere else, this Toll

my eyes-and l winked back some
thing that I felt yelling up in them,
Tor no good reason whatsoever, and
said nothing. Just looked-too.
Bue he was very gentle all the rest
of the evening. And | felt different
and strangely rested, mentally.
Jack called up to say he wanted me
to go motoring just as early as l could
in the morning, but that he would not
be over this evening. Barbara, II

After that talk with Cecil l felt
awfully close to him and at dinner to-
day | found mothers eye fixed upon
me in way that she has when some
what puzzled at some new outrage
of mine or when she is particularly
suspicious. l pretended not to notice
it, however, and was perfectly natural
all throughout the meal.
Mother is really such a dear and
such good mother that it hurts me
terribly, sometimes, to feel that she
does not and will not understand me
l know that she loves me to death,
but she will not make allowances for
me nor condone with my wanderings,
mental or physical. That's all.
Cecil has told me to have it out
with Jack, just like my Aunt Cecilia
had it out with Jeftry twelve years
ago. And I'm going to, some day very
soon. Cecil says to remember that
conditions have changed vastly In the
last few years. that the war has made
both men and women more human.
He is pretty sure old Jack will come
up to the acid test; couldn't do other
wise. He says that any man who went
through the Argonne fight, as Jack
did. isn't going to balk at the truth
being presented to him by the girl he
; loves, that's sure! l admire Cecil for
having all that faith after what he has
gone through. It's splendid If man
can come through, despite all sorts of
bitter experiences and disappoint-
ments, he is really a man and worth
making sacrifices for l hope that
Cecil finds his mate, and I just know
that he will.

time after dinner, mother fitting in

for over a year. I am a very success
Jul business woman. l love this man
dearly. but up to the present time he
has never approached the subject of
marriage, although when we are to-
gether he says his thoughts are of
no one else.
In case he would propose would
you advise me 10 accept his proposal
or should | continue my work? l am
unacquainted with his financial stand
Ing. ! think the world and all of this
gentleman, and since he is considered
very handsome and d stylish dresser,
j often wonder II he would tire of
me since | do not believe in elaborate
clothes. BROWN-EYED SUSAN.
The young mans financial standing
should settle your problem. Perhap Fps
he does not make enough money to
support wife, in which case it would
not be wise for you to marry him. 1t
is a great pity that the high cost of
living makes it utterly impossible for
many hundreds of young people to
marry. Ii he is in a position to marry
and if you love him, l would advise
you to give up your business career
for home life.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I read some
where several years ago that where
people were visiting friends or stop
ping in private home, just for one
meal, that the visiting parties were
not required to fold their napkins
when leaving the table. But if the
visitors were going to remain several
days they should fold their napkins
every time they leave the table
