rsyocs Country Girl for Wifs

.. IA, Editor Of the Evening Pabhc LEDGER.
s,r--Permit me to, say a few words In
answer to letter in the PEOPLES Forum
sIsned with the initials IL. T. "" from
country girl 10 tho effect that country girls
ar. batter than city girls and mako better
v,y,, am a , ourg man, aged twenty-sis.
single and refined. OF Jewish parentage.
Ths question IL: why Is the country girl
h.tter than tho city girl7 For the following
rssons Tho city girl, from the age OF four
,son or hfteon, begins 70 spend her evenings
At dance clubs. painting her face to mako II
more attractive and by thus spending her
time neglects ono of the most important
things for her own beneht. and that 10
reading books Thinking develops the nina
and she becomes an intellectual young lady,
which IL quite essential as an accomplish
ment for the home
Personally | am not against dancing, but
there has 10 be a limit TO It. The city girl
today demands more from the young man
h,n the country girl Tho solution OF the
ethical problem Of today has become more q
/ rurs business prohteertrS proposition than
an IDEAL question Of NE with tho city strl.
They value the young mans pocketbook more
than his personality. his Intelligence ana his
|ntsloctusl ability. I am speaking from OBJ
serving things and from personal experisnce.
Ia great majority Of the city girls today like
| young man. no matter how ignorant he

ber of divorce cases In tho cities. compared
With the percentage OF tho popula tion OF the
country. Is larger today than ever before.
Tho country girl Is entirely different from
| tho city g.r'. She is not fond Of running to

| Gee; she is a home girl. and she roads and

does not demand from the man machines.

her.
| Therefore ! agree with that letter that a

Citizens have begun work on
the road leading from the bridge
at =. ID. Todd's place to the
Brush Greek juncture of the new

route is to be cut down to a good

along. One day each week will
be given to this road unit! the
busy season is past when two

the Times, and as We have often
said, il is the only way we can
get good roads quickly. They are

1t is with regret that the Times
must record the first serious au'

seriously injure any one In our
county from automobile since
their introduction here SIX years
ago.

chester, driving Buick road

was removed to the home of Mrs.
Phillips in this city and later In
the day was carried to his home
i L. Winchester by ambulance.
Two, young ladies in the machine
escaped injury with the excep'
ton of one slight cut on "a hand
The wreck as viewed oy
scores of people on Sunday out
was removed Monday.
When the narrow condition OF
the road is considered, and the
abrupt curves on the same, 1T is
remarkable that up to this time
no accidents had occurred, with
the extreme amount Of travel on
this road going both ways at all
hours. There is bound TO be ma
nv accidents in the future unless
the road is widened in places and
some Of the dangerous curves re-
moved. Railing should also be
placed along the high embank-
ments if we respect the words,
safety first" Since this road is
maintained by the state it seems
TO be up. to the authorities at
Frankfort.
