is nothing wrong with your life
it is the way you live it. I
feel confident that it would be to
your advantage to take a trip this
month and get entirely away from
your present surroundings by
doing so you will make new friends
and 1 predict marriage.
E. C. c.: Dear Doctor: In the
name of the Lord will you try and
fix my grandfather so he will let
me go to school when it first opens
up? Fix him so he will ask me
when will school open up? Fix
him so he will buy all my school
clothes and shoes. Fix him so he
will do it quickly. Thank you.
Ans: Your wishes are beyond
any power here on earth. 1t is in
dicated to me that he will allow
you to go to school this year. Why
don't you get one of the neighbors
Gone that he respects) to talk up
your point to him. Any outside
influence will help. In the mean
time do everything you can for the
old gentleman and prove to him
that you are worthy of his consid-
Grafton.
M. A. F.: Please, Sir, tell me
what is going to happen to me?
Tell me what to do if you can?
Ans: At the present time your
life doesn't appear to be so COM
plicated. There is just one sure
thing you must get out and
search for job and don't be salts
fed until you are working. That
alone will solve your problem and
I urge you to begin Immediately.

E. V. H.: There was some prop
erty that I thought was my IA
theirs and grandmother and now
it is built up and fine large col
lege on it. If I see about it do
you think I can get share of this
property?
Ans: Giving this matter serious
thought am positive that you
will not be able to get anything at
all from this property or the pres
ent owner. If your grandparent
had owned the property he
must have sold it. The titles were
clear before the college was built.
Don't expect anything from this
source.

ly love me and wish to marry me
as he says he does? What about
his "boogie-bear" ideas of what I
might do? Please sum up the
whole thing and tell me your best
answer.
Ans: Young lady, your pres
ent suitor's attitude toward you is
typical of the same old set-up &.
old man young woman. Hap
piness with him would be practi-
cally impossible as he is much your
senior, a very jealous disposition,
and his constant nagging will con-
tinue to get worse and you won't
see any peace. Reconsider this
marriage and urge you to
make friends among the men your
own age.

A crowd of 10000 saw the East

pitchers to even up the series at

meanwhile, yielded only five hits.

Buck Leonard of the Pittsburgh
Homestead Grays with three
singles and two bases on balls; and
John Barker of the New York
Black Yankees with three singles

The gossip upon everyone's
tongue this week concerns a young
sheik about town, who a few sum-

supposedly prominent and well paid
position - letters of success and
stories of receiving fabulous pay

Recently, one of our sheik's close
friends visited him and during the
visit the postman brought letter
from the relatives back home.
When the hero CD opened the mis-
sive out fell certified check. Now
we know that our "glamorous"

III contrast lets look at the rec
ord f Governor Bricker The rec
ord shows there are more than l6,-
600 more people receiving old-ags

In addition. the average total month
III pension payments are now $780,
515.4s greater than under Davey,
and the average individual pension
has been increased Not only have
the pensions been paid promptly, but
upon Governor Rricker's recommen-
dation, the state legislature has IN
creased the maximum pension to
$40 per month, effective next Janu-
any.
Blickcr fired the political stooges
IN the department who did not work,
and the department. is now doing
more work with 249 fewer employ

been cut S267,s60.7 II. This money
was used to pay larger pensions.
NV, Instead Of Davcy's political
parasites beneltting by the old-age
pension department, under Governor
Blickcr the benefits go where they
belong, to the people who are en-
titled to old-age pensions, and these
people are entitled to every avail
able dollar that is appropriated for
that purpose.

There was no Scurrying for cover
