Dear Miss Meredith:
Here we come, two lonely North
Carolina girls, for some good advice
/, Mae, am girl Al years old, and
am in love with a man Of 20. He
me-. Do you suppose he loves me:
And, if not, how can l win his at
fections? His mother don't like me
and says I'd better leave him alone
She calls me an old maid. But don't
you think l could make him as good
a wife as some silly kid of 16?
just nearly worship him and don't
feel like l could possibly live with
out him. Please advise me what tC
do.
I, Sue, am a girl of IS, and live
with Mae. / am in love with man
of As. He is widoWer with nine
children, and L have been married
before and have two children. MY
husband left me, and l don't know
where he is. L haven't got divorce
because 1 believe it is wrong to bt
divorced. This man of As has beer
to see me and says if 1 don't marry
him he will jump in the river d.
you think he means it? What would
you do? L am crazy about him, bu
my first husband was such a fizzle
1 am afraid to marry again.
What must I do?
CHUMS.
am loath to believe that this
letter was written in earnest
partly because 1 would hate to
believe that any woman who has
attained the ripe age of Al could
make such an utter fool of her.
self as to imagine herself in love
with a boy of 20. His mother is
quite right-and no good can
come of such an unnatural, I'M
wholesome affection as this
woman pleads guilty to.
AS for you, Sue, you have no
problem, for you are married
woman, and if you attempted to
marry this 45-year-old man with
nine children, the law would take
you for bigamy-if the lunacy
commission didn't beat them to
it by committing you to an in
sane asylum. You are most pc
culiar-you think it's wrong to
be divorced-yet you seem to
think it's perfectly proper for a
married woman to accept atten-
lions from another man.
l advise you both to turn your
thoughts towards more sane and
sensible channels, before some
real trouble, born of such idiocy
overcomes you.

My Dear Girl: 1 am afraid
that you are on the wrong trail
There are fifty thousand expe-
rienced motion picture and stage
actors and actresses out of
California. 1t is next to impos-
sible for an outsider who does
not live in California, or have
unlimited means, to get into
pictures. Back of every story

some overnight star, you will
find find, a s story Of years of hard aIi
ness before the discovery oc-

dollars or more, and can go out

Otherwise, you'd better be think
Ing about getting tangled in the
love-making net Still, If you
are determined, you might write
to some of the studios. Any of
the monthly motion picture mag
azines will give you a list Of the
studios, with their names and
addresses.
L have seen your good advice to
other girls, SO thought I would write
you. L am thirteen years old-will
be fourteen in September. 1 have
light hair. fair skin and blue eyes.
I am feet inches in height, and
weigh 112 pounds. Do I weigh
enough for my age?
There is a boy of nineteen whom
I have been keeping company with
love with him the first time 1 saw
him. He comes to see me three
times a week. and stays until ten
o'clock. He has asked me to marry
him, and we are going to be mar
red in August. Mother and father
know about it and don't care. They
like this boy fine and ask him to
come. My father owns about three
hundred acres of land, and this boy
lives on our place. I am the only
child at home.
GLADYS T.
If your father and mother
approve of the marriage, I sup
pose there is nothing /, a strang-

crime to permit children to
marry. You and the boy are
just children, and it will be
years before either one of you
will be old enough to know what
love really means, or to be
capable of judging whom you
want to marry.

anything which contains calcium
arsenate and is consumed by the
weevil will kill it. Picking up the
squares, especially in dry weather
and when the plants are relatively
small, is an important matter. The
syrup mixture is cheap, easy to
make, and a small amount of it
covers a considerable amount Of
cotton. We think it can be used
with some considerable effect under
the conditions described in your
letter.
Destroying the Granary weevil
T. q. S., Crawford, Ga,
writes: 1 would like to know
what to do to keep the weevil
out of wheat. In the past l
have used ordinary lime which
is good except that it affects
the flour to a certain extent.
The grain weevil is a small brown
beetle about one-sixth of an inch
in length. 1t has a relatively long
snout. In fighting this pest it is of
the utmost Importance that all
dust, refuse and trash be thorough
ly cleaned out of granaries before
they are filled with new grain.
These receptac1es should also be
tight and so situated as to keep
them as cool as possible.
The best material with which to
destroy the granary Weevn is car
bon bisulphide. 1t may be applied
directly to grain, but it is a bet
ter practice to put it in shallow
pans on top Of the grain and al
low it to evaporate. In very large
granaries 1t may sometimes be
poured through a gas pipe, the low
er end of which is plugged. There
should be some slight perforations,
however, which will allow the
The pipe. The effectiveness of this
treatment is influenced by the tenn.
perature. Five pounds to each 1000
he right amount to use.
The gas fumes from the evapora-
ton of carbon bisulphide are eX-
plosive in character, hence do not
smoke or bring sparks or flames
in the vicinity Of a granary during
the process OF treatment. y high
grade of this material will not in
jure the hands or clothing. When
placed in 2 grain bin a cover should
be put over the top SO as to con-
fine the gas therein for some hours.
After the treatment the cover
should be removed and the grain
thoroughly aired. A repetition of
his treatment from time to time
nay be necessary. This IS the cheap
st and most effective method of
'ontrolling grain weevils which has
cen devised up TO the present

Police Necessary to

WINSTON-S SALEM, n. c., July %
Extra police were called out this

the three or four patrolmen on the

Poisoning the Boil Weevil with
the Molasses Mixture

F. D. B., Columbus, Ga,
writes: We would like your
opinion on a mixture of mo-
lasses with calcium arsenate and
water as a means of poisoning
the boil weevil. When and how
should it be applied?
A considerable number of farm
ers now seem to be using d mix
ture of pounds calcium arsenate,
one-half gallon Of water and a
gallon of syrup as a means of
fighting the boil weevil. This mix
ture is prepared and applied to the
plants with mop or brush. 1t can
no doubt be used to some advan-
tage on small plants when the
weather is dry. We do not think
it would be found effective, how
ever, on large vigorous plants, and
certainly not when the weather is
wet In cases of very bad weevil
infestation we are inclined to think
uusting by hand or power machin-
cry will prove to be the cheapest
and most effective method Of com
batting the weevil. The busting
should be done in the early morn
ing or at night. Molasses seems to
hold moisture we'll, and it is prob
ably the water in it which attracts
the weevil. Certainly this insect is
not attracted by the saccharine mat
