HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: I am fiji
teen years old. I have been keeping
company with a boy eighteen years
old. He does not live IN this state but
as he has relatives living near my
home. He writes to me while he is
at home and when he comes here he
sends invitations to come up where he
you think l should accept the invi-
tations?
There is another young man who
lives near here who has written me
several letters, but failed to an
swer as I did not want to gain his
friendship He is twenty-five years
old and think him too old for me.
There is another young man whom
1 admire very much He Is twenty
two years old. He tells other people
he likes me better than any other girl,
but when be meets me he never talks
to me as he is bashful. How can I
gain his friendship? Would it be all
right to write him a nice friendly
letter?
1 have a girl friend whom I adv
mire very much. We have been going
places together but as she keeps COM
pany with so many men that are too
much older than she is folks talk
about her. She is eighteen. As I do
not want my character run down what
can tell her so she will not wish to
go with me any more?
WEDDING BELL.
You should not accept the invita-
tons from the boy to go to the place
where he is visiting You might an
swer his invitation by asking him to
come to see YOU.
1t would not be all right to write
a friendly letter to the bashful boy.
All you can do is to be pleasant to
him when you meet him. Even if he
is bashful If he really wanted to
know YOU better he would muster I'D
courage to get better acquainted. Peo-
pie very often exaggerate and so you
cannot place too much Importance on
what other people say he says about
you.
People will be less apt to talk
about an eighteen year old girl who
keeps company than about you since
you are only fifteen. You are very
much too young to think so much
about boys and to go places with them.
Since you want to stop going with
the girl. tell her YOU can't go when
she invites you

THE PURPOSE OF TRIAL.
1 sometimes think June ought to be
Grateful TO April and to May
And every stormy winter day,
For had they failed their duty, she
Would find no bud upon a tree y
And have no beauty to display
For all that was, prepares the way
For every flower that mortals see
And so, perhaps, It is with men.
Our trials and our griefs and tears,
So very soon forgotten when
The June time Of success appears,
Should own our gratitude-for they
Made possible our strength today.

WHAT A MAN OWES TO HIS
TOWN.

What does business man owe to
the town in which his business is To-
Gated besides the payment Of taxes
Nothing" some close listed and
tight Tipped business men will say.
But they are not the kind of bust
ness men who get the most out of
life.
The business men who make the
biggest success and who get the most
out Of life are the kind who believe
they owe something more to the
town in which their business is To-
Gated than the mere payment of
taxes; who believe they owe it what
they can contribute of active aid in
solving the problems that confront
their neighbors, either social, politi-
cal or commercial.
Fortunately for the towns of this
country there are many able bust
ness men who, disregarding the ad
vice of the kind of business men
who say that it may cause them to
lose some trade if they take sides in
city affairs, are devoting considerable
of their time and their talents to do
ing something for the general good
of their town. And the number of
such men is growing. The time has
passed, and New Iberia business men
know it, when merchant loses
trade by getting out and boosting
for an improvement the town needs,
even though a few moss-backs are
opposed to such an Improvement. And
we sincerely hope and trust that
such time may never return, or
that the town may not have in the
future those who can't see any farth-
er than the cash drawer.
