COLLEGE BOYS AND GIRLS.

The senior Epworth League had a
most enjoyable party Thursday night
at the Methodist church in honor OF
the girls and boys who were leaving
for college. There were about thirty
six leaguers present and nearly every
one declared the occasion most pleas
ant. Joviality and gayety reigned su-
preme as many interesting games were
participated in, one of which was The
Prince of Wales Has Lost His Hat,
which caused many to lose their
heads. The pleasures were height
ened by some select Rotations by
Miss Isma Swain, editor of the South
Georgia Lacquer These selections will
long be remembered by everyone. 1t
was deemed a privilege to have had
Miss Swain present. Then bountitul
repast was served, and this was thor
oughly enjoyed. After the repast mus
ical numbers were rendered, including
the song, at Is a Good Thing to Be
a Lacquer" which was sung in truth.
The leaguers wish to thank Mrs. I.
A. Harris, Mrs. r. R. Jones, Mrs. J.
H. Collier and Mrs. E. T. Beasley Tor
their faithful assistance in making the
occasion a success.

FLOWERS MUST FIGHT TO
PRESERVE THEIR LIVES
Various Schemes to Keep From Being
Crowded OFF the Earth.

Various schemes to Keep from BENG
Crowded Off the Earth.
Flowers fight much as do the males
of most species of animals, and for a
similar reason, seh-preservation, a
writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer tells
US. An iris in a crowded border, for
instance, will throw out number of
sharp pointed leaves horizontally all
around for no other purpose, it would
seem, than to ward off other plants.
Primroses are also pugnacious; if
they feel they are being crowded too
closely they have a habit of Hopping
their leaves up and down, and so
smothering the intruding plants.
Many of the smaller hyacinths might
be called floral ruf1ians. Any unfor-
tu1tate intruder is liable to be seized
and strangled in a tangle Of vegeta-
ton which, seemingly, is grown just
for that purpose.
Quite number of other plants give
evidence OF having developed some
thing very like consciousness that en-
ables them to devise the best way OF
circumventing the entertainments Of
their neighbors.
A remarkable illustration of this is
seen in connection with the common
bramble when, as is often the case, it
is found struggling over. pile Of
stones or up against a roughly built
wall In such circumstances the plant
has the power to turn its roots into
clubs, which completely fill the crew
ices where soil is to be found, thus
shutting out all competitors.

Lean Figures NoW GiOe
Way to Plump Beauties
Skeleton Girls Taking Rest Cure and
Going in for Fattening Luxuries.

LONDON.-An unexpected decree
making the "shapely' figure again
stylish brings relief to thousands OF
worshippers at the shrine OF fashion.
The silhoutte figure of last year de-
manded a leanness bordering upon
emaciation and also a perfectly fiat,
boyish type of figure difficult to attain
Now all is changed; women need no
longer be thin. Hence the skeleton
beauties are taking rest cures and go
ing in havily for cream and other tat
tening luxuries and pursuing every
possible aid to plumpness.
The new winter figure will, OF
course, never suit the actually stout
woman, but the fashionable creators
insist that "a becoming amount OF
plumpness" with few graceful
curves" will be decidedly the thing.
Ankles, arms and throats must remain
slender, but hollow chests and sunken
checks are now questionable.
The reason is largely found in the
new gowns, which are waistless and
fit closely to the natural curves OF the
figure. The dresses now, therefore, lose
all their effect on an angular inquire,
In the words of one who knows, the
winter girl of 1925-26 is to be a girl
smart but supple, neat yet dainty, and
feminine from velvet hat to tur
founces."

PUTS TAGS ON HuMp1Es

-Four Thousand humpback salmon
have put to sea carrying tags showing
that they were released this sunamer
from the Hood Canal salt water feed
ing ponds of the state fisheries de-
partment. An unusually high tide, ac-
conpanied by a strong wind, flooded
the feeding ponds and released several
thousand other humpies that were due
to be tagged.
The fisheries department hopes to
learn when these tagged fish return
whether the hurnpies will come back to
the stream where they were hatehed
or raised to lingering length before
being released. The salt water. feeding
ponds already have proved that hum
pies will thrive better in salt water
than they do in fresh water ponds.
Reports to the fisheries department
show the traps On Puget Sound were
taking sockeyes this year as early as
July /, or at least two weeks before
fishermen expected them. This is the
''big rum year and fishermen have
hopes of an improved sockeye. catch.
However, the soekeyes have fallen off
ever since contractors on the Canadian
Northern in 1913 blew a part Of the
mountain into Hell Gate canyon and
blocked the upper Fraser river SO the
sockeyes that year could not reach
their natural spawning beds. Canadian
and American fisheries officials this
fall will Investigate to determine
