ODE TO THE GIRLS

Little girl, you look so small,
Don't YOU wear no shimmy-shirt
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no petty-skirt?
Just YOU corsets and your hose,
Are those all your underclothes
Little girl, you look so slight,
When see you in the light,
With your skirts cut rather high,
Wont you catch a cold and die?
Amt you 'fraid to show your calf?
1t must make the fellows laugh.
Little girl, what is the cause
Why your clothes are made of gauze
Don't you wear on undervest?
When you go out fully dressed?
Do you like those peek-a-boos
Stead of normal underclothes
Little girl your 'spenders show
When the sunlight plays on you;
I can see your tinted flesh
Through your thinnest gown of mesh
Is it modest do you 'spose
Not to wear 60 underclothes
Little girl. I see your chest
Cause you go round half dressed;
Yes, see past your throat
To a region most remote;
'Taint my fault now, don't suppose,
Why not wear some underclothes
Little girl, your sox has shoals
Of those little tiny holes;
Why you want to show your limb,
/ don't knows it a whim?
Do you want to catch the eve
OF each fellow passing by?
Little girl, where ss'the charm
In your long, uncovered arm?
In the v behind your neck?
Is II for the birds to peck?
Little girl. tell you those
Amt so nice rs underclothes.
Little girl. now listen here,
Yen Wouh be Just twice % dear
n you'd cover up your charms,
-NNck. hack. le3s and both your arms,

CHARACTER AND CREDIT

Good names and credit 60 hand in
hand. A good name helps your ere
dit and credit helps your good name
To have either, one must pay bills
promptly.
Credit is the greatest force in the
business world. 1t is the power to
borrow; to obtain the property Of
another to use on the promise to pay
For every extension of credit there
must be a debt, and there can be nc
credit where there is no debt. -
Tc be in debt is not dishonorable
but to abuse credit is. To run
grocery bill is not crime, but fail K
paw as you have agreed should be. II
furnish your house on the installmen1
plan is often an advisable plan
some persons could not have home
ny other way. It is often wise to dea
on credit for the sake of the time wher
YOU might need accommodation.
Persons should guard their credit
as they guard their health. Borrow i
YOU must, buy on. credit when neces
sary; but pay as you agree. Whel
YOU give your word, make it as goot
your bond. Consider your debts
sacred obligations. Never think thai
your creditors forgot your obligations
To meet ones obligations prompt.

The method Of introduction was by
means Of a card which each person

For the most part games were the

ably directed by Miss CRAM and her
assistants. As a part of the enter
tainment Professor Spalding gave q
strictly ORIGINAL and profoundly
humorous talk from the dizzy heights
Of chair seat to the assembled null

CONTROLLING CUTWoRNIs
Expert Tells How TO Get Rid OF These
Troublesome Pests

Cutworms are the almost hairless.
caterpillars OF several species OF
moths. The EGGS are laid mostly on
grass on the grasses. Consequently
on land which has had considerable
grass, cutworms are most trouble
some. When such land is plowed the
natural food of the caterpillars is
cut off and they are forced to con-
centrate on the plants that are set
out later. They are especially
troublesome to such crops as cabbage
and beets.
The cut surface of the plant on
winch they feed is SO small that il
