Gives Advice
to Youth
By Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on the Problems Of
Love and Marriage,

Here is Z letter that rings true.
It il . reply to q recent letter
published in this column, which
declared that modern young men
value girls for their wildness and
willingness to neck and ego the
pace and that a girl who has
high ideals is completely "out Of
4" % far as popularity is con-
cerned.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 have just finished reading
an article Of yours about q cer-
tain girl who Is lonesome because
she doesn't neck. You asked for
letters from young men, giving
their views and defending them
selves. Well, here's mine:
The young man of today Is
getting sick and tired OF spend
Ing his money on gold digging
girls.
Before the war, man got
little or no affection---if you wish
to put It that way-in return for
taking girl out, unless he was
engaged to her. Talk about women
having rights. It's about time
men broke loose ana fought for
some!

have never tatken anyone but her
out. Still have never kissed
her or asked to kiss her.

Poultry Saved; Buildings
Destroyed
Fire last Thursday night destroyed
the chicken and brooder houses OF
Robert Wilkins, who resides on the
Charles E. Jones farm, near NAPLES
Mill, together with five hundred five
weeks-Old chicks. The older chick
ems were saved by heroic work by
Mr.. Wilkins and neighbors. The
timely arrival of neighbors probably
saved the life of Mr.. Wilkins, who,
upon discovering the fire, saw 1t
would be useless to try and save the
small chicks, entered the larger
chicken house adjoining the burning
building and attempted to drive the
hens to safety. He was soon trapped
by the fire and the early arrivals
found him in the house unable to
get to the only door. They cut pas
sageway through the walls, through
which he and many chickens escap-
ed to safety. The poultry buildings
were destroyed but the flames were
prevented from communicating Win
the dwelling or other outbuildings.
The fire is thought to have started
from an overheated brooder stove.
