CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O TROMAS !
A1most rn-cc Monrllc paid EoH.

Some one mentioned the old super
stition, or legend, that the first T.
days after Christmas were types OF
the months in the cCming year, and
we have been keeping up with each
| one to see how the next year Will
| be. According to these signs" it is
going to be a dry year, there has
| been snoW%tOrrnG on the mountains.
| but in this Valley there HIS not
| heen enough to cover the ground.
7 have shut my poultry up a few
times, have kept the frying sized up
| Il week, as the ground is so cola.
| The first four days after Christmas
were cloudy and dislgrccable until
near noon, but the others have been
| ideal. The thermometer has bean Il"
| low as twenty at eight q. N. and
even now my ink in the bottle is
| solid ice. but the sun shines and
| that is what we want. | said tho
year ahead of Gus must be on the
order of a drought, but The Farmer
says that the last three months Of
steady rain will carry the crops
| long way.
There is to be an election soon

! come a day too soon, on the pixies
as much as on the other roads.
Georgia red clay is not a circum-
stance to the sticky, fa6y sort, and
when this sort dries and leaves ruts
and ridges its beyond the rocky road

chickens with sore head. At this

focks should be watched. When you
| see the feathers about the ears and
head ruffed, or the head looking
| swelled, get busy. Dip the heads in
water made purple with permangcn-

| bubbles show that the water has
| been inhaled. Then begin to rub
each nostril and under the throat
with carbolated or camphorat tod
vaseline and give them a good-siZca

| the disease is alermingly rapid in

| from the flock and do not try to
make leaders of a flock out of thnt
sort. Stock dip applied with mon

can use for the sores.
TRE HONOR ROLL
I certainly appreciate the prompt
answers that [ have received from
some of the readers. The papers
are full of pictures of starving chill
dren in the Near East. Most of us
have read of the unspeakable atroci-
ties that the Turks have put upon
| the Armenians. This country has
had to send them dishes and cooking
utensils as well as food and cloth
ing. The refugees are coming back
| clad in crocus sacks and patched
rags that they find in deserted
| camps. Colonel William Haskell,
| commissioner to the Near East for
| the Paris Peace commission, cabled
that the relief workers now in the

tude of their task. Colonel Haskell

MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

| am a girl eighteen years old
coming for advice. l have met
man of thirty-three and l love him
dearly, but he don't seem to care for
me, Please admise me how l can
win his love for 1 love him the best
of any man l have ever seen?
never thought about loving a boy till
L met this man. | don't care any
thing about the .bOys-but this man
I have met. | don't go with any
of the boys in my country. | guess
you will think that [ am a foolish
girl, but l mean just what l say
about this man. He lives in my home
town and L see him every time L go
to town. [ will thank you very
much if you will answer my letter,
for l am a lonely girl at home and
my father sure, is mean 10 me and
1 don't get to do like other young
girls.
ANSWER-I hardly know
what to tell you because l be-
lieve that you cannot win a
mans love by any special effort.
He either loves you or he does
not, and unless he is attracted
, to you it would be a waste of
time to try to make him love
you. Still, if you know him well,
you might ask him to come out
to see you sometimes. Then, if
he likes you, he will ask you
later to let him come. BY being
always pleasant and friendly
and sincere, always interested in
him and attentive to what he
says, you may succeed in inter
esting him in you.

ANSWER-Yours is a difficult

I would be better able to answer.
If you have any where to go
and if you have no children,
would say for you to leave him

way in which you can earn your

he cannot treat you just any

and like you more and may find
out that he really loves you, aft
