 Curiosity? Why, man ought to be ashamed to wag his finger at the most idle curiosity in the world.
 You people who are reading this paper nov are simply curious. You women who turn to your advertis- ing to find out where to go before you begin your shopping would probably spend many times more money than you had to if you were not curious.
 Don't waste 3 moments thought on the banter of men. Road your advertising. satisfy your curiosity, see the merchandise that appeals to you. Do not hesitate because the name of some advertiser is new. Let your curiosity have it's fullest play. It, is time We lead this curiosity joke to rest.

WOMEN EXCEL MEN AS
 STUDENTS AT UNIV. OF ARK.

Fayetteville, March 2.-Compila- tion of the average grades of stu dents at the University of Arkan- sas according to sex and member ship or non-membership in fraterni- ties or sororities, at the end of the first term at the university thls season, show that women are bet ter students than men, and that those students who belong to no fraternl- ty or sorority made better grades than members of such organizations.
 The highest average was made by women who belonged to no sorority, next came the women's general av- craze. then the average of non-fra- ternity men. The last name class formed the only group of men whose grades were above the general stu dent average. Following the non fraternity men, the average of the various groups were as follows: Sorority women, general student av- craze, mems general average, fra ternity men and women, and fra tcrnity men.

ELECTION IS
 NEXT ON DOCKET
RICHARD B. MCULLOCH AND JUDGE E. D. ROBERTSON ARE PROBABLE CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR

As is usual in Marianna city poll itics, very little interest is being manifested in the forthcoming city election to be held on Tuesday, April ,. Nobody seems to want to assume responsibility for conducting the city's affairs during the next two years. Mayor Norment, who has been in office for one year, serving the unexpired term of J. M. Johnston, declares by all that is good and holy that he has had enough and that under no circum- stances will he be a candidate for reelection. Judge k. D. Robert son, who served a portion of the unexpired term of Mir. Johnston, has stated to his friends that he ex- poets to be candidate for the off, flee, although he has made no form al announcement of his candidacy. Richard McCulloch, one of the best known young citizens of Marianna and an attorney with recognized ability, has been importuned to run for mayor. So far, however, he has made no positive announce ment.
 C. C.. Kitchener, city treasurer, has announced that he is candi- date for reelection. No reeommen- dstion of Musical Mitch" is need ed. His announcement is almost equivalent to election. The same is true of Judge John c. Williams, for police judge. He has served in that capacity since the city was admitted to the first class cityhood. He has fairly and impartially en- forced the laws and during all the administrations under which he has served he has come out with clean record.
 The aldermen whose terms expire in April are W. F. Harris from the first ward, R. l.. Hope from the second ward, and R. D. Smith from the third ward. None of these gentlemen has any 'hankering" to be burdened with aldermanic jobs and the chances are they will de- cline to seek reelection.

TOWN NAMED WOULD BE"
interesting Story of Quarrel Which Saddied Queer Title on Com
 munity.

Tulsa, Ok, March 3.--The town of Would Be, Oklahoma, owes it's name to a dispute between a post office inspector and postmaster.
 This is the story as told by Emby Kaye of Would Be;
 i. In 1917 about 400 persons com prising an oil camp five miles south of Billings, decided they wanted a postoffice. The Postoffice Depart ment granted their request and a postal inspector arrived to christen the new community.
 The postmaster. leading the dis cussion for the citizens, wanted the town named Mid-Co. The inspector objected.
 It wouldn't do at all,' he said "When the oils gone. what would it be-"
 it would be-" answered the post
 Tt would be a town, that's what master.
 Well, then. if it would be, it would be-" the inspector retaliated, and the postal station thereupon be- came Would Be.

Says Wilson Is
 Glad Rs AH OUeT

Chicago, March 2.-"Mr. Wilson has become boyish in the last few days. He's glad it's over. 1 ex- pect he will rest for the next six months at least. He is very tired and not at all robust. In two ad- ministrations the president has grown twenty-five years older"
 This was Charles Swem's word picture of President Wilson. MT. Swem had been private stenograph- CT to the president for the last nine years and has known the pres ident more intimately than other members of his official family, it is said. He arrived in Chicago to- day with his family to resume his position with a publishing company. ! "How little the country and the world know Mr. Wilson," exclaimed MT. Swem. He is pictured as au- tocratic, heartless, selfish. This is hot true. I travelled 150,000 miles with him; I took dictation from him ht his bedside, on shipboard, at the White House, at the peace confer ence, on campaign trains. I know him and love him.
 Mir. Swem brought with him sten- egraphic notes of nearly 1O,00O,O00 words of President Wilson's die tation. He will use them as ma terial for book on President Will son.

 One of the finest little jokes we men have in stock is about the cu- riOsi5y oE women and cats.
 We smile indulgently at our wives and sisters and mothers. We wag our finger at them and tell them in our ponderous humor, Look out, my cear, Curiosity Killed the cat. And we do not seem to real ize that if it weren't for curiosity we, in this twentieth century, would still be living like pigs and dying like flies.
 Here are some of the things cu- riD5ity has done:
 Arehinedes prying up stone with g. stick was curious at the ease with which he moved a great weight. He discovered the law of the lever, which has made possible most of the mechanical wonders of the pres ent day.
 Calico, curious about the rising of the sun and the movement of the stars, discovered that the world was not flat.
 Newton was curious about the ap- pie that fell. Watt about the cover of his mothers tea kettle. Harvey

WHY THE EDITOR LEFT TOWN

Somebody sent the editor Of the Poketown Gazette few bottles of home brew. The same day he re- ceived for publication a wedding an- nouncement and notice of an auc- tion sale. Here are the results:
 "Wm. Smith and Miss Lucy An derson were disposed of at public auction at my farm one mile east of beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves, before a background of farm imple- ments too numerous to mention in the presence of about seventy guests, including two mileh cows, six mules and one bob sled. Rev Jack son tied the nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay rope and the bridal couple left on one good John Deer gang blow for an extended trip with terms to suit purchaser. They will be at home to their friends with one good baby buggy and few kitchen utensils after ten months from date of sale to responsible parties and some fifty chickens. - Exchange.

The older boy shot and killed his brother to put him out of his misery he said. after accidently wounding him while demonstrating his skill with a revolver.

N.shs Group and Pneumonia Salvs
 Won Through Merit.

Nash Brothers. now large man ufacturing and wholesale drug house, began making Nash's Group and Pneumonia Salve years ago. At that time they conducted retail drug store in Jonesboro, Ark, and sold their salve in small quantities to other druggists in their own and neighboring towns. Today this de- pendable remedy is selling in car loads. Leading druggists, both wholesale and retail find the de- mand for it increasing steadily.
 It's just another example of what merit will do. Nashs Group and Pneumonia Salve again proves the old adage that f you make better mousetraps the world will beat a path to your door,
 For the protection Of the pubic, however, we suggest that when pur- chasing this remedy you call for it by the full name-Nash's Group and Pneumonia Salve. It Is put up in 3O-cent bottles and in bottles 2l- ? times as large at 50 cents; both are packed in blue cartons. Sold by F. R. Turner Drug Company Marianna, Ark.
