For County Clerk.

To the voters of Villas County:
| wish to announce my self a
candidate for the nomination OF
County Clerk.
The argument / may have for
soliciting your support is that
| am a trained and experienced
County Clerk. | have served IN
this capacity for a number OF
years. While / am resident tax
payer | do not feel that this is
a marked qualification of eficien-
cy nor do l feel that it will help
me in serving the public more
efficiently.
| cannot promise to reduce your
taxes in case | am elected as this
is a matter entirely in the hands
of the County Board. | have no
voice in any of the county mat
tiers; l merely serve as their clerk
and it is my duty to keep and
record all proceedings.
| have this to say, also, that all
the yearly audit reports are on
file in my office and | solicit even
the most skeptical to come and
look them over. They are matters
of public record and my records
are always open for public IN
spection. | extend to any of you
this invitation, that if at any time
there is a county matter which
you are in doubt about, if you will
come to my office | shall be only
too glad to show you the pro
ceedings in reference to it. This
| is not a prediction invitation but
standing invitation for all time.
If giving the office to which
YOU have been elected, an efficient
administration, is any reason why
should be returned | would surely
appreciate your support at the
Primary.
| Sincerely yours,
Mary Hong.

past years. The voters now realize
that the stay-at-home person is to

who has not exercised his RIGHT
to put good men in office and oust
inefficient office-holders, is really
the one to shoulder the blame.

 "On her arm she carried a cape matching the blue satin and orange. There was scarlet leather belt around her waist, she wore scarlet slippers and flesh hosiery and her hat was nearly covered with bird initiating a Chinese pheasant, the foot-long thu feathers in all the tones of red, orange, blue, vel low, brown and the rest of the dyepot. And a green leather handbag. That was all. There couldn't be any more You see, there was nothing left be. cause she had it all on.

could be married for seven years without his ever finding out wheth- CT her hair was her own or not. Same way with her complexion, say l.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-29

Really, Doc, you haven't any idea what a debt you owe to the handmade complexion, for it has virtually elimi- mated the homely girl. Beauty is only skin deep, you know, and every skin nowadays is so nicely kalsomined and tinted that it is the skin you love to touch.
 If you should meet a girl au natu- rel you would be like t,:e man who thought he objected to rouge. When his wife came down dolled up for a party he said to her, sternly, Madam, go upstairs and wash your face" The Obedient wife did as she was told. When she returned, as ugly as God created her, the husband said, Madam, go upstairs and put on twice as much rouge as you had on before"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-29

But what I object to is the pub licity and not the cosmetics. Ma ture made a pretty poor, bungling job of most of us females, and we need whatever helping out we can get, since it is the part of humanity to be as easy upon the beholder's eyes as we can. Therefore, l hold it is virtue and not vice to put permanent wave in naturally lanky, slinky> hair; to paint a rose on a sallow cheek, and to pluck a wandering eyebrow into q thin, straight line.

As for men hating the sight of an artificial face. go to-. Doc! The paint. ed woman always has had an allure for man that the simple, natural woman never has possessed.
 DOROTHY DIX. My Dear Miss Dix: I am getting disgusted and discouraged with life, and yet 1 have only lived IS years. Of course, my problem is none other than one of the heart. Every one says that love is blind. Now, when love came my way I decided not to let love blind me and threw me into the same trap that it has thrown thousands of others. I opened my eyes wide and looked about. At once doubt entered my mind. Again, it is said where there is any doubt in the mind of lovers, it is not the real love that possesses them. Now, I love young man very much, yet see many things in him which l fear will detract from our future hap piness. Please tell me what to do.

 ."Oh, nothing" said the girl who was crazy about hats. T expect you did it absent-mindedly, because, of course, anybody as sensitive as you are to pe;- fection would never in the world have deliberately put on 2 purple striped shirt, green tie dotted in salmon, tan socks and a hanky with a pink bOr- der"

Answer:
 I certainly agree with you, Doc, that it is disillusioning thing to see wo man calmly haul out her rouge and powder and lipstick and proceed tc make up her face in public place And certainly nothing is more amusing than the expression of perfect com placency with which she. finally sur veys her artistic 'labors when the jot is done

Answer:
 The only love that is blind is pa rental love. It is perfectly possible for mothers and fathers to honestly be- lieve homely child beautiful, dull chiA clever and to see an angel in a little devil, but that is only because the child is a part of themselves, and our personal vanity keeps us from real izing our own faults and weaknesses.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-29

The love of a man for woman, or a woman for a man, is never blind, but real love is all-forgiving. You do not have to think a man handsome. or brilliant, or a per feet knight in order to love him. On the contrary, you can be per fectly aware that he is no sheik as to looks, and will never set the river on fire, and that he is awkward and gawky, and will need a lot of polishing up by good wife. Yet you know that he is more to you than a perfect paragon of aA man would be- The real slogan of per feet love is. With all thy faults, love thee still"

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-29

As matter of fact, a mans weak nesses generally appeal more to wo- man than his strength. It is his little faults that have to be forgiven, his weaknesses that have to be catered to, his need of her, the eternal little boy ishness of a man, that calls out the maternal in a woman and makes her want to mother him.
 If you wait to find man in whom you can see no fault you will never marry, because there is no sich ami mal,'' for one thing, and if there were what in the world would he do with a human woman with thousands of faults thick upon her own head?
 It is the men and women who know themselves and each other
 for poor, weak, stumbling human
 beings who know how to make al-
 lowances for each other. DOROTHY DIX.
