AS FlaDDer Sees II

Dear Martha Lee Just a word to that
little hotheaded college man. Not all girls
go lust IS far as the. can and get away
with it If they do, it is because of some
man.
Nine times out of ten the bold little flap
per is twice as well off as her old-fashioned
sister The 1apDer Is pretty wise and she
knows the little Jelly bean sheks are just
kidding her along, while the oId-fashioned
sister, as innocent as a little kitten, falls for
some mans line of talk and her life is
ruined
The fapDers do go a pretty fast pace. but
they are not wild not all of them Men
cannot fool Miss Flapper She's pretty well
acquainted with them
All fappers don't drink and smoke and
they don't go Just as far as they can.
either I'd Just like for some man of the
world to take me out in his little bus and
offer me swig from his pint. Do you
think I'd take anyf Not on your lifel
But my oldfashioned sister might be out
with her steady caller and take some You
enced, is easily Influenced
You needn't think every little drug
store cowboy who comes along gets to
kiss me.
The less anxious a girl is for a kiss. the
more anxious men are to give one
Ivc been going with Il steady fellow for
about three months, and I've saved all my
kisses for him. Can you beat that? Not
so bad for the modern girl, Ell? We are
engaged. too. and wait and see whether I
don't make him as good a home as his
mother has. A FLAPPER.

From Cured SheIk'

Ny Dear Miss Lee I have read with
pleasure Just Girls letter and. though
personally a cynic regarding women, find my
self in accord with her views.
II takes all sorts of people to make the
world IL which we move. shieks and flap
pers not excluded Before our minds have
arrived at maturity we are apt to be daZ-
zlcd by the fantastic and exotic in human
nature. Young people. therefore, find the
roles of sheik and fapper appealing 20
them. Later. in the natural course of de-
velOpment they see the folly Of such ideals,
and a change is apparent. Some never ad-
vance beyond the first stage.
When parents express disapproval Of our
actions, we need not consider them joy
killers or infer that they do not under
stand. TheY too, have been through the
mill and are only endeavoring to save us
from the consequences of our own folly.
Real girls are Just as plentiful as ever,
but you will not find them fitterfng life
away on the dance floor or striving to grace
the hmelight by their bold and audacious
demeanor.

Sub-Puppy Love

My Dear Martha Lee: I am boy IL
years old. I am very deep in love with a
girl my same age. She is very poor-looking,
but looks have not anything to do with love
have they? I am very anxious to have a
date with her Do you advise me to ask
her for one. love her better than life
Please don't tell me this IS puppy love, for
know it is not. WILLIAM r
No, l don't think it's puppy love;
you're too young for that.
Now, Bill, you just wait a few
years before asking the girl for a
date; you might get 1t then. I'm not
making fun of you. boy; you're just
going through one of the stages Of
life. But you take my word for it
that you'll be happier if you think
more Of radio, and mechanics, and
baseball, and books, for the next few
years, and less of girls.

We are authorized to announce f.
b. Andrews of Scott township, Sharp
county, as a candidate for state SEN
ator from this district, subject to the
democratic primary election next Au-
gust.
Mr.. Andrews is a dirt farmer, 80
years old, and has been a democrat
from his youth up. He was one Of
Sharp county's leading teachers for
- years and served as justice of the
peace for many more years. He re-
presented his county, Sharp, in the
Arkansas legislature one term and also
served his county in the constitutional
convention. Being only a farmer OF
small means, he says he knows what
the laboring man needs and that he be-
lieves every issue should be openly dis
cussed and fairly put before the people
and passed on before 1t becomes a law.
He has reared a large family of boys
and girls and with these facts before
the fathers and mothers of the dis
trict who are interested in good citizen
ship, he hopes to give the voters a
chance to make a selection to this
office Of which they will always be
proud.
He has expressed the hope that he
may have the opportunity of seeing
every voter of the district before the
election but at the present he is very
busy with his crop A little later
however, he will have more time and
promises a visit to our county to meet
with the people and present his views
on some Of the vital questions Of the
day.

BETTER PROSPECTS
FOR FARM CROPS

The condition OF the Randolph coun-
ty cotton crop now Is about 60 per

of May 1t was feared that the crop
would be less than 80 per cent on ac-
count of the unfavorable weather con
ditions.
There was much replanting done
over the county, but most OF the first
plant came up with the replant and
the stands at present are fairly good.

LEGION NOT TO HOLD
ITS ANNUAL PICNIC

Owing to the fact that the bonus
bill has been passed by Congress and
blanks are expected to reach here by
the first Of July, when all available
stenographers viii be needed about the
filling out of the blanks, it has been
decided not to hold our annual celebra-
tion. 1t takes a great deal of time
from the different committees TO hold
the celebration. All the boys have to
work and cannot give so much extra
time.
They have also taken into considera-
ton that the farmers are delayed with
their crops and many of them would
not attend our celebration If the wealth
er was fair for farm work.
Further announcement in regard to
how to handle the matter of securing
your bonus will appear in another issue

GOVERNOR TO CALL
LEGISLATURE AGAIN

Governor McRae Tuesday issued the
call for the third special session Of
the General Assembly Of 1929 to con-
vene next Monday to consider legisla-
tion for the benefit of school finances,
and measures to protect the, capitol
grounds
The governor made the announce
ment Monday, shortly after the Arkan-
sas supreme Court had declared the
Parnell cigar-clgarette tax law uncon-
stitutional eliminating a source Of
revenue for the schools estimated to
total S25OO,OOO annually.
The call specifically mentioned to-
bacco legislation, and was worded
to permit introduction of any measure
for raising revenue for the schools, ex-
eept one involving a property tax. 1t
included provisions for legislation
effecting property adjacent to the CAPT
tol grounds, to prevent. If possible,
future obstruction of the capitol view.
1t will allow either condemnation Of
the property for requirement by the
state. or zoning legislation.

my life. TO give this legislature the OPP
portunity, if it wants it. to pass this
bill (cigar-cigarette taxi" said Cover

'hurrah' and with the Supreme Court
explaining how to do it, fail to pass 1t,
they will cruelty themselves. 1 con-
slider that the members of the legisla-
ture passed the Parnell bill in good
faith | want to cooperate with them

Sen. Harvey Parnell. author of the
law declared unconstitutional, said, al
the time the test suit reached the
courts, that II 1t were held illegal, he
would present another, increasing the
tax to 81 per 1000 cigarettes.
Sen. Jake Wilson, candidate for gov
ernor, said last week that he would
propose measure similar to Parnel
law IL the latter were declared uncon
stitutional. He declared that he con
sidered the rate Of tax provided in the
Parnell bill high enough.
Sen. Ben Johnston, who was author
of the bill which repealed the cigarette
law in 1921, also said that he proposed
to present tobacco tax. 1t will in
clude all tobacco, and will be based OF
a rate Of 10 per cent of the retail price
for cigarettes. as well as other forms
He believes law including only

CENTRAL COMMITTEE
CALLS Dem. PRIMARY

The Randolph County Democratic
Central Committee met last week and
completed the preliminary arrange
ments for holding the Democratic pri-
mary election. In conformity with the
state committee call the election will
be held on August 18th, which will be
the second Tuesday in August next.
Another item of business was the as.
sessing of candidates for the different
offices different amounts to pay the
expenses Of holding the election. The
assessment Is especially heavy this
year on account of the limited number
of candidates, there being not more
than one half as many as usually run
in this county. The amounts for coun-
ty offices range from $1,000 to S25.OO
each. The cost of holding the election
is between $IOO and $500.
The committee then adjourned to
meet on Tuesday, August 3, one week
before the election for the purpose Of
naming judges, clerks and marshals to
hold the primary.
In the ranks of the Central Commit
tee there appeared two vacancies: In
Ingram township, Joe Perry Spikes,
who was committeeman, was disquali-
fled on account of the fact that he is
candidate. Rob shaver was elected
to fill the vacancy. In Warm Springs,

John ID. For Assessor

The star Herald takes pleasure this
week in presenting to the citizens the
name of John ID. Campbell Of Poca-
hontas. who announces as candidate
for tax assessor of Randolph county,
subject to the Democratic primary.
1t is waste of words for us to
undertake to Introduce this candidate
to the people for he is well known in
every township In the county. AL
though twice defeated for this Office
he always comes out with his colors
flying and with a good following. He
always took his defeats good-natured-
ly. expressing willingness to abide
by the wishes of the majority.
However, he is now very much in
earnest and seeks the Office from a
desire to serve the people of his home
county in fair and impartial manner.
He has no fight to wage upon any Of
his opponents and says he will not
engage in a mud-slinging campaign.
He would not have entered this race
had 1t not been for the strong solicita-
ti0n Of his many friends In different
sections OF the county, but says he
could not refuse and is now in the race
to win. Remember John ID. for tax
assessor.
