The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-08-26

We felt sorry recently for the chap who had to sit in Dawes the atre and try to appear unconcerned and unembarrased while the flapper next to him had her left arm encircl- ing his neck. She certainly did be- Ifeve in smuggling close to him.

Poor fellow; he knew everyone was looking at him, and he just didn't have the nerve to tell the girl to cut it out.

We most heartily and sincerely wish the men who demand the en- forcement of the anti-spitting law all the luck in the world. If anything ever was repulsive besides being unsanitary, it is to see a big, hard boiled fellow eXpectorate the sputum for "chaw of terbaccy'' on the side walk. Let's have the law enforced.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-08-26

Not that we don't believe in that sort of thing. Far from it. You know the old saying, "Give me the moonlight. etc" But such things should be confined to the moonlight or the porch or the parlor

Mrs. Walden.
There was something in her tone
that checked Garrick from insisting
on the pursuit of the identity Of the
mystery girl.
Mckay touched his hat and re-
turned to his car quicker than he
had left it.
Garrick turned keenly toward Mrs.
Walden. "What does Ruth say? Who
was up there? Was she in the
tower?"
Mrs. Walden looked away and
murmured, Ruth won't say" she re-
piled in hoarse whisper.

come at last to the real point that
had led her to seek Garrick's counsel
and now stood trembling as if on a

debating whether to use the VBctrola

from the French windows:

know just what they wanted, what
to expect"
"What did they get?"
"Why, those bandits went through
the party. They must have got away
with a hundred thousand dollars
worth of jewelry -. oh, more
than that. The Walden pearls that
they took from, Ruth were worth
twenty thousand easily" :.
"a good haul. But what's this

She leaned over the rail of the We

Mckay, down the driveway with
the car, touched his cap and sided
up the steps of the club veranda.
"John, will you tell Mr.. Gerrick

CHAPTER T
THE RADIO DANCE
"Ruth worries me-"

Ruth worries me-"
Mrs. Kenmore Walden drew Guy
Garrick toward the quiet end of the
Nonowantuc Country club.
Garrick did not need to effect in
terest, for Ruth Walden war far and
away the most interesting problem
of the Country club set. Of late
years Garrick had grown to be coun-
GSelor and confidant in all the ills to
hich North Shore society was heir.
Mrs. Walden smiled abstractedly.
She was' one of those stunning wo-
men of today whom one confuses
with their daughters.
"She says. that / betray my in
feriority complex when | say it -
that what l really mean is not that
Ruth worries me, but youth worries
me--that | don't understand young
people today. | may have under
stood young, people, in the days of
the Floradora sextette-but l don't
understand them now - amid that's
what really worries me-"
mo one Would believe you could
have a daughter old enough to worry
you, Nita," declared Garrick in I'M
affected admiration But tell me
what it was you couldn't say over
the telephone. when you got me at
last this morning"
81 suppose you've heard all about
the first Radio Dance last night over
at Bellevue Lodge-you know, the
Gerard place, at Oldfield?%
Garrick nodded.
"Well, you Know how young Glenn
Buckley got the Gerards to put in
wireless outfit - had Professor
Vario from the big Radio Central
Station at Rock Ledge help him in
stall it. At least that's what Glenn
said. The truth was, of course, that
Professor Vario had to do all the
work. Glenn just messes around
with it; has acquired the lingo-but
l guess that's about all"
Garrick smiled at the characterize
ton and Mrs, Walden hurried on.
"Then the young folks got up a
dance to celebrate the installation.
Lo and behold, they had scarcely
started when that awful thunder
shower-you remember last night?-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-06-05

This morning." she blurted out
in desperation, "a messenger boy de-
livered package to Ruth. In it
were her jewels that had been taken
from her-the Walden pearlsr'
"Whew! Have any of the others
been returned? Could it have been
a nOaX?"
MOP Mia sank back in a wicker
chair, her splendid shoulders con-
vulsed as she sank her head into a
little filmy lace handkerchief and
sobbed. Il am frantic about Ruth's
silence . Is silence confession?
Better to lose the jewels a
hundred times than to have
them returned under such circum-
stancesw
Garrick was thinking about Ruth
Walden, the pretty Flapper sub-deb.
He said something soothing, reassur-
ing.
81 didn't think Ruth was much
more than a child" walled Nita,
Strengthening and dabbing at her
eyes with the handkerchief, "but she
has been going to all sorts of
Dances"
What sort of dances?"
THE cabarets in the city-and
roadhouses out here on the Island. +"
Garrick involuntarily elevated his
eyebrows.
'Oh, it's not question of morals
alone" she fastened. after all,
sometimes common sense and fool
ishness are fair equivalents for
right and wrong"

SIX ACRES MADE SEVEN BALES
Without Use Of Any PoiSon--tcCord
Crop Grown by Townsend.
(Green wood IndcX-Journal.)

Greenwood IndcX-Journal)
Seven bales OF cotton on six acres.
without the use Of boil weevil poison,
and with only three hundred pounds;
OF fertilizer per acre. is The record OF
Joel Townsend, successful farmer Of
Cokesbury, this year. Mr.. Townsend
has already picked four bales from
siX-acre tract at Cokesbury. and be-
licyes that he will pick three more
good bales from the same tract.
The cotton is an early variety and
was planted on May Sth. Mr.. Town
send used 200 pounds Of acid phos-
phate and 100 pounds Of nitrate Of
soda, mixed, and applied when the
cotton was planted.
The cotton land has been planted
in crimson clover for about four
years, and Mr.. Townsend believes
this was in measure responsible for
the large yield OF cotton.
The cotton stalks are loaded from
top tG bottom with bolls, and a fair
top-crop has matured. The tract Is
away from vase land and brush,
which harbor weevils, and this was
also partially responsible for the free
dom from weevil infcstation, it Is
believed.

THE OCONEE FAIR.

Keep in mind the Oconec Fair,

arc working unitedly and with un-
tlrlng zeal to- make our fair--nOt

Il success from every standpoint. And
everybody should give them full as
siStance and hearty corporation. 1t
Will take that to make 4 good fair
No matter how hard our friends at
Westminster may work. without tho
cooperation Of the rest Of the coun-
ty--especially on the part Of those
who are in position to make exhibits
their efforts will prove failure
What could a fair be without exhib-
its? And Westminster cannot DOS
siblv get up exhibits within her own
resources that will prove creditable
to the whole Of OcOnce. 1t will take
exhibits from every sectiOn--every
nook and corncr-Of Oconcc to make
the fair Il; Westminster the first OF
next month what it ought to be and
what we hope it will be.
Start getting up your exhibits to-
day. Tomorrow may be too late. II
Is important also that the exhibits be
made Just as attractive as possible
We have the prize list and the list Of
exhibits for the fair, and regret
exceedingly that We are unable ito
publish it this week. It will appear
in The Courier next week. But you
need not wait on this list to make
an exhibit. The list comprises almost
every article raised on the farm,
handiwork, household articles of all
kinds, everything thai is worth while
garden--stOck Of all kinds, fruits,
etc.
Let every section be represented
at the Oconce fair at Westminster in
November. 1t will be worth while.
There is nothing that gives greater
incentive to progress, to making bet
ter crops, raising better stock, grow
Ing better fruits-in fact, in doing
everything better--than competition
In exhibits at county fair
Will your section be represented
by an exhibit at Westminster? Don't
say that you don't know. Get at it
now, prepare an exhibit, and thereby
say that If nobody else makes an eX-
hibit from my section, my section
will be represented. If this idea is
carried out by all who can make
crcditable exhibits, Oconee's fair at
Westminster will be SOME FAIR.
Go to it.
