MRS. l.. S. DOLMAN: | think that
any girl of IL or Is years is far too
immature In judgment and experience
TO be allowed TO decide for herself in
u matter affecting her entire life and
happiness, and In this case where the
man IL of foreign nationality and where
nothing Is known OF him by the par.
ents.- consider them justified in in

MRS. j. l.. cox: Beyond advising
with their daughter and offering her
the benefit OF their experience, think
that parents should allow the daughter

think that they should interfere II they
see that II is best for the girl. They
can see further than she can and should

ways.
MRS. WILL MoRGAN do not be.
lieve that O girl II years old IL capable

Vessels Lost.
Vessels have disappeared strangely
in the unexplored Polar basin since the
beginning of Arctic navigation. The
hungry ice pack in 1876 carried off 80
whaling ships from the waters north
of the American continent. Most of the
men fled to the ice and escaped to
Point Barrow and other points on the
Arctic coast but 40 refused to desert
the ships. The slow but ceaseless
movement of the ice carried them into
the mysterious uncharted north region

miles.

greater than at any similar period

Majority Of the tourists are going

Little Interest
Shown in Coming
Election Primary

Candidates are worried So are some
of their supporters.
The dope has been upset, for the
voters are not showing much partially
thus far and there are no reception
committees in the towns Of the county
to rush forward and extend the glad
hand to the would be office holders.
: 1t is believed that this attitude is
preventing some possibilities from COM
ing forth and making their bow. II
is also throwing darnper on those who
would otherwise be exerting every ef.
fort to make an impression.
Little Interest.
While the county races have created
only the smallest impression. In the
rural communities the state races are
exacting even less interest. One coun.
ty candidate who spent nearly all Of last
week In the field. said he heard the
state candidates names mentioned In
only two places outside Wilson and
Healdton.
1t is hoped by all candidates that the
tour of Bob Wilson through the coun.
ty win create some interest. enough a.
least TO cause some little partisanism
TO be shown.
Wantes More In Races.
Those voters who have ventured
opinions on the race are demanding
more candidates in several of the races.
namely the county superintendent 5,
county judges. county treasurers and
district court CLERKS.
There comes rumblings OF several
others candidates in the race for rep
resentative at this time.
Time for Action.
Summing it all up, the situation ap.
would.be's 10 place their hands on the
table and be quick about it,
Those candidates who have already
announced are making hay while the
sun shines. some daring the rain and
going into the field. Barns, fences and
telephone poles and trees are taking

and shapes. Announcement cards are
strewn around the post offices and
stores Of nearly every community in
the county, and there Is hardly a res.
taurant, hamburger stand OF confec
tionery in the entire county that is not
decorated with placards and small an.
nouncement cards.
Even with all this, the voter Is not
satisfied, the dopesters assert.
