Answer-No man with whom the
love Of liberty is the paramount pas
sion should ever marry, because
marriage and freedom no more mix
than oil and water. No matter how
you look at 1t, marriage is bondage.
You may love your jailer. You may
kiss the fetters that bind you, but
there is no disputing the fact that
when you sign on the dotted line
on the marriage license that you
have forfeited the right to do as
you please henceforth.
There is another persons comfort
and convenience and pleasure you
must consider. There is another
persons tastes and habits to which
you have to adjust yourself. There
is another persons relatives and
friends whom you must endure, no
matter how much they bore you.
There is another persons opinions
which you must yes-yes, or else
fight.
You can't come and go as you
please and act as the spirit moves
you. You can't linger with a pleas
ant friend or two when the CONVEX
sation happens to be particularly
interesting. You've got to rush home
because it is the dinner hour.
OF course, if you get what Damon
Runyan calls IAN everlasting" wife,
marriage is worth all that 1t costs.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Marriage and Freedom Don't Mix
Any More Than Oil and Water

Dear Dorothy Dix: For eight
years I kept company with = fine
girl. She is everything q man wants
in q wife-pretty, sweet, intelligent,
unselfish, sincere and trustworthy.
Before ! camped on her steps she
was extremely popular, az she is the
kind every one wants to have
around. One night In weak mo-
ment I asked her to marry me and
she accepted me. She filled her hope
chest and bought her trousseau, but
when the time came to make the
final arrangements I told her 1
couldn't go through with it. Told
her didn't want to marry and give
up my freedom. 1t hurt her terribly,
for she has proved her love for me
in q hundred ways. Now I really
love this girl. but I love my liberty,
and since we broke up my conscience
worries me. j think that If I don't
marry her I will never marry any
other girl, and a lonely man who
has no one to care for him isn't
going to be happy. I am ~ years
old and she is 80. What shall I do?
Shall I try to get her to take me
back? I think she would II I didn't
wait too long. EWELL.

Which comes first: the chicken

lyricist and tunesmith respectively

The answer seems to be that
composing hit song. words and

the lyricist or the composer in
fluencing the next move OF the
other. 'Body-body yum-yum

counter with words that run some

Paul Guilfoyle has been in

Alfred Santell cast Guilfoyle TO
appear as an industrial agitator
in Paramount's Our Leading Citi-

actor pleaded for a chance to
live through the picture.
I've got to live to the end Of

rector. MY children are begin
ming to wonder what's the matter
with me. My wife looks at me
with a strange CLEAN in her eye.
I'm getting queer outlook on

my family and friends to pre-
view and be alive, automatically.
at the conclusion. I've got to-"
Santell assured Guilfoyle he
would live through TO the end Of

the story, which deals with Bobs
efforts, as a lawyer-philosopher,
to settle industrial troubles in an
American city In the good old
American way, would not require
him to die.

Tobacco Growers Behind
With Years Plantbeds

Tobacco growers in this section arc
far behind with their plantbeds loi
The 1910 crop. and may be handicap
ned in getting OFF TO Il start Tor the
Years work unless the weather be-
comes more favorable in the very
,1c.n. future. 1t is said that very little
work has been done toward prepar-
inc the seedbcds, which produce the
v0IIne plants to hc transplanted INTO
the growing fields later on IN the
spring. .,.,
and seed put into the beds late IN
January or early February. Very lit
tie of this has been done so far, and
this is near mid-kebruary.
Heavy SHOWS, hard :reezes and
then saturated soil resulting from
the thaws and rains that have follow
ed are the factors that have worked
against the growers so lar. lh2
ground has been too soft OF late to
permit Of much activity.
When the pIantbcds arc put in late,
growers run the risk Of seed not ger
m:nating and when il is definitely
known that this condition exists It IS
often too late to seed new beds Tor
the years crop. There is yet time TO-
seeding, but couple Of months j.:
required for thk; and for the young
plants to mature to the point where
they can be transplanted in May for
best results from yields. Usually,
