Some of them are gradually learning
to honor and dignity common labor, and
put skill and training in their work.
These men are commended for put
ting over their wonderful program. They
paved the way, others are coming. They
lead in everything. If they do not lend
a helping hand to any concern, that con-
Germ in this section is not very much.
They are interested in the welfare of
my people, and | am afraid they do not
catch the idea. They want to and will
help you, if you will only try to help
yourself
You may travel east and west,
north and south but you will find no
place like Laurel. Sorry to say they are
doing more along all lines to help us
than we are to help ourselves.
AS | was wandering along a deserted
path, which by its sides once inhabi-
ted fruitful trees and fruitful plants;
thought of serious consideration came to
my mind after looking at the remains
of these. 1t seemed to me that careless
ness or the like of thought brought
about death to the plants. The keepers
failed to bear in mind that nature was
the life of the plants which at times to
be assisted by man to prolong life.It was
a foolish idea nature runs out, gets
tired when it sees nothing to help it
help the other fellow.
So it is with the working man today.
What are you going to do in this big
garden? Are you going to abuse your
opportunity? What are you going to do
when you can not run to this big con-
Germ and get dollar when you are in
need, and received your pay the previous
day?
I'm giving the spendthrift an idea
about what might happen. The fruit in
the garden is ripe and plentiful, pre-
serve and can a few jars.

Laurel, City Beautiful, is tne largest

very productive and inductive, health

Laurel is the most powerful city in
Mississippi. 1t has solidity Of granite
when it comes to business enterprises.
1t is the fastest growing city in the
south. It may be called, if | were to des-
cribe it, as the garden spot of the world.
With it's wonderful scenery and magnl-
ficent buildings make it one OF the
wonders of the world.
One would not believe me if were to
give them little history of this city, a
city that is known all over the world.
A few years ago Laurel was covered
with pines and bushes and was looked
on as one of the excluded spots OF Mis-
sissippi until our good friends coming
from "a land of milk and honey looked
on this vast tract and nodded vision,
a policy, an idea, a system, backed with
vim and thought and put over pro-
gram With the present look and the
future outlook, the program was beau
tifully outlined.
1t was the idea of these men who
cleared the forest and bushes and fash
toned this spot into the form of beauty
and utility to crafty the ever-increas-
ing necessities of life.
We are aware of the fact that few
of these men are gone. They are sleep

Should | Take My Husband Back?

Dear Miss Flo My husband de-
serted me two years ago, and went
away with another woman, when my
little boy was just two years cid
Now he wan S to come back and
start all over again. Do you think
we would be happy together if I per-
nit him to return! My little boy IS
constantly asking for his daddy, and
wants to know when he IS coming
home. For his sake, I am tempted to
try it again. What shall l dc? We
never divorced and my husband
says that he loves me more than he
ever did. He is truly penitent-and
I, well, do care for him yet. Per
haps he was not entirely to blame.
L. c.
My personal opinion c. the man
who deserts his child, regardless of
the provocation, is that he is a heart
less being utterly lacking IN any Of
the qualities Of manhood, and that no
punishment would be too great for
him. believe I should find 1t a diff

At the best, a patched-up marriage
is an unsatisfactory makeshift, and l
believe that the woman whose hus-
band has betrayed her and gone oft
with another woman would have a
better chance for happiness If she
let that end the matter-if she mace

But a woman's first duty, of course
is to the children she has brought IN
to the world. She must secure their
well-being at any cost to herself.
Many women are unable to support
their children, and cannot give them
the material advantages the father
could give them. In that case, the
status Of the problem is changed
considerably, although it seems to me
that it is very doubtful whether or
not father who could so easily re-
main away from his child for two
years would be much of an advantage
to his son.
And there are also many women So
obsessed by their love for the man
who has deserted them that they are
happier with him, knowing he is un~
faithful, than they would be away
from him.
But cannot take upon myself the
responsibility of your happiness and
your child's future well-being. Every
woman must be a law unto herselI
as to whether or not she shall take
back the husband who has deserted
her. She most assuredly has no duty
to him, and she is under no obligation
to him. When a man so ightlJ
breaks his sacred romises made at
the altar he absolves her from hers,
and she is at liberty to de- as she
pleases.
