REPUBLICNS MEET CANDIDATES

A belated advertised meeting gather
ed, about fifty, in Odd Fellows Hall,
Tuesday evening, to meet the Repub-
hcan County candidates.
Walter Edgar, Esq. was chairman
of the meeting. The principal speaker
of the evening was Arthur R. Gember-
ling, of Camden Commercial college,
a resident of Woodstown, and a SON
in-law of the late Charles E. Allen.
He said he had always been a Repub-
lican and believed that party had done
most for the development Of the
country. There was a disintegratlon
of the party at present in Camden
County and also in Salem County. He
plead for party harmony.
There is unrest among the people
and much complaint of high taxes;
Much of it is caused by the increased
cost of education and improved hard
roads. While schools are costly much
better education is being given to the
children.
He had known Gilbert Borton, Re
publican candidate for Senator, for
years and knew him to be the highest
type of manhood. He had been County
Freeholder for years and President of
the County Board of Agriculture and
had given valuable service to the
position he had filled.
He also knew his Democratic op-
ponent, Leon Robbins, and thought
him a worthy citizen who would do
credit to the county and people if
elected.
A hard fought battle is on and he
pleaded with the Republicans to stand
together.
Mr. Borton said the nomination for
Senator came to him unsought and
with no opposition in the primary. As
Freeholder he had endeavored to serve
to the best of his ability. He favored
economy in the State as well as in the
county. As a member of the County
Board of Agriculture he had looked to
the interest of the farmer.
J. Fmmor Robinson, candidate for
Assembly, made a few remarks.
William T Mifflin, candidate for
Sheriff. recalled the contest he had
for the nomination in 1917 and cleo
ton. He believed his experience In
the office was an asset as he tried to
serve the commonwealth.
Other candidates made few re
marks. Charles Werner. candidate
for Mayor: John Farish, DIR. A. U.
Welch and George H. ElHnton, for
Council, and A. B. Houseworth, for
Justice of the Peace. Mr.. House
worth recalled that he had been
Borough Marshal for years and that
his record was known.

Eleanor has an extremely hopeful

:: therefore this Eleanor, who spelt her
name Eleonora, was called The

princess, a friend of Tasso, the IA

EIeonor of Provence was the daugh-

of Guienne. She married Louis III
of France in 1877, was divorced in
i1152, and married Henry II of Eng

in l173 for a period of sixteen years.
This clever queen was or a gay ma

THE fapper OF Washington and
L elsewhere in the United States is
stoutly defended by two very clever
young women who have just arrived
here to occupy important posts in the
Y. w. c. A. work Of this city. They
are Miss Ruth Vesta Pope. director
of general education, and Miss Helen
E. Mcneil. girl reserve director
Miss Pope was dean of women at
Des Moines University, in iowa, when
she was asked to take this new post
in Washington while on years
leave of absence from the university
work. She says that she has been
frequently bombarded by reporters,
who asked all kinds of questions as
to her views of the modern girl, the
so-called f1apDer. Miss Pope herself
is a very conservative young lady
who desires to be as inconspicuous as
possible. yet she grew quite excited
when she talked of the modern girl,
and announced in no undecided tones:
The modern girl is just all right.
She is no different from her grand
mother, and her much-talked- of
frankness is one of her best qualities.
1t is TO be encouraged rather than
condoned."
Miss McNeill. who will have charge
Of the work among girls of high
school age, is also very sympathetic
to the modern girl. and says that she
believes "a principal difference be-
tween the girl of today and yesterday
is that the modern girl is more sensi-
ble.'
Both of these young women have
already had some unusual and in
teresting experiences that should
prove of great assistance to them
in present and future work. Miss

The Airplane Flapper.

There's every kind of f1apper
That ever could be guessed;
Varieties are plentiful
In north, south. east and west.
And of them all it's hard to tell
Which one, is quite the best.
There is the auto fiapper,
Who loves to joy ride;
They're dance ffappers and ranch flap
pers,
And many more beside.
They nearly all, however.
Take speed" to be their guide.
Perhaps the latest f1apper type
To emphasize that speed
Is what the modern young folk
Think above all else they need;
Its the airplaning fiapper who
Flies mighty fast indeed.
She may go in land plane,
Or in a flying boat;
From seventy-five to a hundred miles
An hour her bird" will float.
The fiapper grins in great delight
Above her leather coat.
She stuffs the cotton in her ears,
Pulls tight her fur-lined cap,
Then fastens tight the safety belt
That lies across her lap;
And then she's fixed to loop the loop
And make the native cape.
OF all the ardent fiappers
Who ever learn to flap
The airplane fiapper flaps the most
And never stops to nap.
Barrel rolls and tail spins
She takes without mishap.

period when the United States was

| NAMES FOR GIRLS
| And What They Mean

ELEANOR is very attractive name
L. for girl. 1t has IS its meaning
light" Helen and the various forms
of that name also have the same
meaning, SO that frequently Eleanor
is considered form of Helen. but
more generally it is considered an
entirely separate name from Helen.
There are authorities who have sug-
gested that Eleanor was originally
an abbreviated form of Magdalen, but
this is not popularity believed to be
so. Probably one of the reasons for
this is the fact that Lima. or Lena, is
the nickname for both Eleanor and
Magdalene.
AS a matter of fact Lima is the
oldest from of Eleanor and was ap-
piled by the ancient Romans to the
goddess of flax. In the middle ages
it was elaborated to Eleonora, and
from this name the English gradually
evolved Eleanor, Leonora, Annora,
Linot and Annot. 1t is interesting
to find that the Irish name. Eileen, is
form of Eleanor.
Other variations of Eleanor are the
Slavonic Lenka, Hungarian. nona;
ancient French. Alienor: German,
Marcellina. ELY, Lima and Nora are

checks cashed in Caldwell. The pair
have been operating extensively in
this territory. having oashed checks
here. in Nampa. Boise and various
other towns in this territory.
According to information received
here the method used in cashing the
worthless paper is novel one. Forged
certified checks on Walla Walla and
Oregon City banks were offered to
merchants where small purchases were
made. In many instances the woman.
made up to indicate pregnancy. cash
ed the checks using sympathy dodge.
This procedure was used successfully
IN Nampa. Three local concerns were
victims of the check artists.
The arrest was made in Emmett
when the pair tried to cash check
at store where information of their
operations had preceded them. The
check was turned down. the sheriff's
Office notified and the arrest followed.
Sheriff Riggs. however. was compell-
