Scouts showed that a total of $500
had been cleared. The Ladies' Aid

proceeds, and thus each organi-
cation had $3.50 to put into its
treasury.

folks, meet Mrs. l.. &. Latimer,
OF Carrollton, Va. unanimously ac-
claimed by three judges, all seasoned
married men, to be the most adept
mate-summoner OF them all. She
won her title yesterday at the
Suffolk, Va, fair, and today the
woods near Carrollton are echoing
back her voice as she pages her lesser
half with renewed and triumphant
vigor.
Lin, Oh, you Linwood, come to
supper, darling"
That's the call that did it. And in
her voice, the judges averred, was
that appealing tone that would
cause a man to give up his chances
at the Pearly Gates. True, as
claimed by some of her competitors
in the "husband-calling" contest, she
has been calling her spouse twice
daily for years, but that fact failed
to brand her with professionalism.
1t was a close race for Mrs
Latimer, though. She had to put
every ounce of allurement into her
effort to stave off Mrs. J.. NJ. Mont
gomery, of Norfolk, who finished
second, and Mrs. Hall Place, who ran
third.
Mrs. Montgomery used a rather
commanding note in her call.
