fumed MIR. Dodds and our tresses. THE

The $3.50 increase in rent seems fair
enough to those Of us who are paying
10000 increases; but in the course OF
years, as any geometrical progression
hound can tell you, it amounts up. Ii
you are paying $100 a month this year,
frinst, and your landlord tilts you $3.50
next year, and so on, you will be paying
at the end of the seventh year (assuming
that la (s4- y ny a trifle of $381.47
a month.
Despite the vernal beauty Of yester-
day, we could not lay down "The
Castle of Many Mirrors" by Ella H.
Dunn, just received from Mr.. George
Barr McCutcheon. To say that we en-
joyed it something elegant would not
be to overstate "Trusting the fair
reader" says the authoress, in her
preface, will be charitable in her
diagnosis of my first story, will say
that it is southern story of beau
tiful fend and her Vaccinations, that
caused the unparalleled suffering of her
benefactress and daughter"
Miss Dunn's gift for characterization
is no ordinary endowment. "She was
a typical southern girl she says:
"passion and demonstration were a
large part of her individuality"
But Vice, as in life. trumphs only
temporarily. Mrs. ST. Clair" the
book ends, years afterwards, when she
was the happy and proud grandmother
of three little Beaucampts, heard that
Mrs Graves was running a laundry in

MOVING PICTURE REELS
ON SEX HYGIENE

The problem of proper instruction on
Sex Hygiene has always been per-
picking one. Every one has felt that
it should be given, but scarcely any.
one has felt capable of giving it until
our boys have been allowed to grow to-
manhood without the wholesome scien-;
tifc knowledge on this all important
subject that they are entitled to have.
The Y. M. G. "A. through our District
Secretary, Mr.. Hall. has finally been
able to secure DR.. Whittenberg of the
State Board Of Health, who will come
to Louisa this coming Sunday after
noon to give an address and show NOV
ing pictures on this subject. II
Dr. Whitttenberg will first give q
talk to both men and women on Public
Health and Sanitation at the Eldorado
Theatre beginning promptly at 2:30.
At the close of this lecture he win
show moving pictures and deliver an
accompanying lecture to men and boys
over fourteen on Sex Hygiene and the
origin of life. This lecture offers an
unusual opportunity to clear up hazy,
morbid and incorrect ideas on this sub
ject. &
There will be no admission charges
as this is a part of the yearly pro-
gram of the district Y. M. G. A., put
on in cooperation with the, pastors
and good citizens of Louisa, and mo-
body can afford to miss is.

Various Items of
Political Interest

President Frost and wife, Republi-

College, Berea. KY, have declared for
Cox on account of the League of Ma
tions.
Earl Smith Joslyn, Harvard under
graduate, who. last spring, won the
$4,000 prize offered by the Republican
National Committee for the best sug-
gestion for the national platform, is
out for Gov. James M. Cox and the
League OF Nations.
Allan A. Ryan, New York business
man, was 80 incensed by sacrilegious
cartoon in >Harpers Weekly against
Gov. Cox that he contributed $4,000
to the Democratic committee.
West Virginia will give its electoral
vote to Cox and Koontz win win for
Governor.
Indications are that landslide is on
the way that will elect Gov. Cox Presi-
dent of the United States.
Lieutenant Governor Ballard's broth
er-in-law at Louisville has deserted
Harding at Louisville and will vote for
Cox. The Courier Journal has been
publishing the names OF scores OF
Louisville Republicans who are doing
the same thing.
Mrs Christine Bradley South bitter
