Wonder Why Women Can't Love

didn't want to tell my sorrows to her,
but did want to get my mind onto
a subject which was at least as in
teresting to myseH-as myself!
My dear father, when he could
take time from his duties as the pres
ident of a small country college
town, had given me many wise and
sage advices. He had recognized,
perhaps, a certain faint of hysteria
in me, inherited from my tempera-
mental mother, or perhaps from all
my female ancestresses back to Eve.
Ny father had insisted, when l was
still young child, that
it is pure selfishness to brood over
ones troubles. Whenever l felt sor-
ry for myself, l was told to get busy
at something useful, preferably in
in the company of another person
To this day, I find my fathers
theory workable. And so I went to
see Deborah, knowing well that she
had few woes of her own which
she had some chance of forgetting
in my company.
Deb already had excellent COM
pany, found. Teddy Moore was
with her. They were coming from
the links when I arrived at Deb's
home. What any girl could want
finer and nicer than Teddy. l could
not imagine. He was surpassed only
by Bob and Jim. Since Deb couldn't
have jim, why didn't she take Teddy,
1 wondered as l saw them coming
crosslots from the country club.
Deborah's possible husbands had
interested the mothers of eligible
sons ever since the girl had come
home from France. Deb was decid-
eddy ungrateful to the mothers, but
she had been properly polite to the
sons, and nothing more. Some of the
gossips said that Deb had had an
unfortunate love affair overseas;
some averred that she had seen too

The passage OF the federal reserve
act, which made the American f1nan-
cial system "as safe as the Bank of

finance give much attention to the
federal reserve act, enabling the read
ers to realize its far-reachng effect
upon the American financial system.
To the professional banker, "I1lemen-

ments and banking practice, combined
with the standards OF personal con-
duct which he will find refreshing.
Practical Banking" by Harris, pre-
SCENTS in simple language the organiza-
ton of the modern bank. which will be
instructive TO the young banker. THE
Practical Work of a Bank" by Kniflin.

REPUBLICANS
in. CONVENTION
viii Gather in Chattanooga
Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day for Big PoWwoW.
SAM SELLS CHAIRMAN

Local republican leaders are get
ting things into shape for the repub-
lican state convention, which gathers
here next week.
On Monday. at the Hotel Patten,
Chairman Hal III. Clements will call
the republican state executive COM
mittee to order. The committee will
settle the three contests in Tennes-
see that exist in Shelby, Davidson
nd Bradley counties. The commit
tee will then go into the perfection
of a temporary organization. First,
temporary chairman will be elected
and then other officers of the con-
vention. This is generally done by
selecting officers from the various
sections of the state, thereby equally
dividing the patronage in the con-
vention. Congressman Sam Sells
or some other prominent republican
will be the temporary chairman and
local republicans say there will be
no fight or question over that. The
executive committee will then per-
feet the temporary roll call for the
convention and adjourn.
Congressional Convention.
Evans will call to order the congress-
sional convention for the purpose of
selecting two congressional delegates
to the national convention and one
elector. Fred Arm and Dan Tate
will probably be chosen congressional
delegates, while Z. L. Roberts will
be nominated elector. This divides
these three Offices over the entire
district. r. A. Burnett is secretary
OF this committee.
On Wednesday morning the re-
publican convention will be called to
order by Hal II. Clements, chairman
of the executive committee, who will
announce the temporary chairman.
The convention will then ratify, or
rather always has ratified. this selec-
tion. Other temporary officers will
then be announced and ratified by
the convention. The chairman will
then announce committees on reso-
lutions. permanent organization, Gre
dentials and other minor committees.
The convention will then settle the
contests, and after the temporary or
ganization Is made permanent will
go into the election of delegates to
the national convention and nominal
ton of electors.

BOOST YOUR TOWN.

An ideal citizen is one who sees some
thing good in his town and spreads the
good news abroad that others may benz
fit therefrom.
Of course, there are other sidelights
to the ideal citizen, but the quality OF
loyalty is one which produces tangible
results.
There are three distinct attitudes which
a person may assume toward the com
munity which houses and feeds him-to
boost, to remain quiescent, or to knock.
The booster pushes his town along,
the quiescent citizen lulls it to sleep, and
the knocker helps to put it out OF bust
ness.
Which are you?
Perhaps you have never given it a
thought. You may not realize yourself
which you are-but your neighbors all
know. They have you accurately cata-
.logued according to your deserts.
If you are booster, they admire you;
if you are quiescent, they wonder when
you will emerge from your slumber; and
if you are knocker, they yearn for the
day when you will field up your tent ana
Silently fade away.
Boost the home town, and its citizens
will boost you.

section and return merchandise at a
much cheaper rate than has been enjoyed
in the past.
Captain Rogers First Trip.
Representative L. A. Moresi, Of Jean
erette and Abbeville, was in the city We'd
nesdav, and told of this first journey
through the inland canals. Captain Rog-
ers left Bayou St. John, this City, passed
out through Lake Pontchartrain, through
Lake Borgne and the locks into the Miss
issippi river, up to Plaquemine, through
the locks and down the bayou OF Nor
gan City; thence up the Teche to Brea3x
Bridge and the intersection Of the haA<
canal and then down it to Vermilion Be-
you and to Abbeville.
''The canal" said Mr.. Moresi, is 40
feet wide and eight feet deep and is easily
navigated We believe this opening up
of a new water route between our section
of the state and New Orleans means more
than anyone can imagine at this time. It
will unquestionably mean reduced freight
rates and in that way will be a further
knock at Old High Cost, which is hitting
both country and CITY alike. We will get
our merchandise cheaper; you can get
your produce cheaper-New Orleans
