BEAUTIFUL PICTURE
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT
SOME SHOW

"Aloma of the South Seas" proved superior, even than it's reputation of being the most beautiful tropical photoplay in feature ever produced. The story and acting matches the scenics. It's a masterpiece of South Sea Islands photoplays and is worth a sacrafice to see.
 One can understand now why this big nine reel feature had such a successful run throughout the States. Gilda Gray, the famous dancer, made a most inticing native girl.
 This is the last night at the Liber- ty.

FELTON,

FELTON, for this week has mostly
person mentions to record, and most
of them are of interest to the COM

friends from a distance, or activities
of our local folks at and near FELTON,.
The summer season is now gone,
and the serious things will interest
those who want to read the news
from now until the holidays of the
Christmas season arrive.
The church suppers and bakes
which are held for the several activ-
tiles of the NJ. P. Church, have earn
ed the appreciation of the public, to
such extent that all their efforts
along these lines are crowned with
success. The "bake" held last Sat
urday was a success in every way
financially and satisfaction to the
patrons.
The end of the visiting season is
generally at Labor Day, and there
are many who came and went, that
the writer did not learn of their Wis
it's; but, here are several as follows:

PRENATAL MARKING

From time immemorial there have
been many popular ideas about birth
marks. Many expectant mothers are
constantly on pins fearing that
something might happen to mark"
their little one. But according to DR..
R. S. Copeland, prenatal marking"
is an utter impossibility. Birthmarks,
he says, are due to explanaDle and
reasonable causes, but it is not true
that prenatal emotions have their
effect in producing deformities of a
baby. Maternal impressions may af-
feet the nervous system, he explains,
but certainly not the body Of the un-
born child. The expectant mother
need not worry over the absurd idea
that she may mark her baby. Such
things never happen. Birthmarks
come from other cause.-the Path
finder.

SOWING WILD OATS

To "sOw wild oats" means to cOmlV
nit youthful excesses, to spend ones
youth in dissipation. Subsequent re-
form is usually implied. The express
sion, it is supposed, originated
among the country people of Eng
land The void oat-a tall grass re-
sembling the cultivated oat and by
some supposed to be it's original pro-
genitOr-is a common weed in grain
fields. 1t was natural that weed so
common and obnoxious should be-
come the subject of comparison
anon gthe English farmers. At first
Sowing wild oats" meant sowing
worthless seed or seed which would
produce a worthless crop. The tran
sitiOn to the figurative meaning was
easy. He who wastes the precious
days of his youthful prime in dissi-
patton is sowing seeds which will
grow up into obnoxious weeds.-The
Pathfinder.

ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches" He said
that we should remember the good
in the church; in the people, and in
everything. Nevertheless, 1 have
somewhat against thee, because thou
hast left thy first love. Remember
therefore from whence thou are fall
len, and repent and do the first
works; or else 1 will come unto thee
quickly, and will remove thy candle
stick out of his place, except thou
repent" Rev. End chapter, 4th and
5th verses.
This was a stirring sermon and
should cause us to think how we are

aroused in one of Frankford's homes
last Wednesday night, by the appear
ance of an old lady in black apparel.
Preston Williams had been to a par
ty in Ocean View. Upon returning
home, he entered the house, and ev-
en- walked bravely upstairs without
light AS he opened his bedroom
door, however, the last spark of his
apparent bravery disappeared; for
there before him was this figure of
an old lady clad in black. Such a
sight as that would be enough to
frighten any one, but to make mat
ters worse, she had in her hand, lev
eled directly at Preston, real gun
or what appeared to him to be gun
though in reality it was only a
mere broom. And as for the woman
twas nothing-only an old black
dress laid across a chair!-Poor
Preston!
