It is with profound regret I learn

Evidently the “Pilot man,” is a
man not charmed with the short
(h*esses and knee shows of the pres
ent fashion of “mi-lady.” It is com
mendable. Glad to know he has the
couragc to come out boldly in the
face of the fair sex, and express his
opinion. Not that I am in favor of
long skirts. Decidedly not. Long
skirts are inconvenient, ugly, and
unsanitary, sweeping up all the dirt
and germs on the streets, and in
houses too, for that matter. The
proper kind of skirt, is one reaching
to the ankles, or shoe tops. A train
should never be worn except at a
reception or as an indoor evening
gown. Dame Fashion is tyranical.
I remember when ladies wore trains,
upon all occasions and she who
could manage her train most grace
fully, was to be envied. That was a
silly fashion but it was not immod
est.
I often wonder if the young wom
en of today think that they are be
ing attractive to the opposite sex, by
such an immodest display of limbs
and shoulders. They may attract,
it is true, but it is an attraction
that will not add any honor to the
fair fame of the lady. Men are
queer creatures. They want what
they can’t get. The prize won, the
pleasure ceases. The same rule ap
plies to that they can see. “Famil
iarity breeds contempt.” Young lady,
if yoii wish to win a man, keep him
wondering and after you have won
him, keep him still wondering. As
the Indians say “I have spoken.”
With the modern dances of Jazz,
Foxtrot, Shimmy and Catwalk, it is
refreshing to read the figures call
ed in and old time square dance in
the days of the Wild and Wooly
West. Beginning: “Now boys,
lute your ladies! North and south
settlers, swop selections, swing your
vis-a-vees, sashay,' and go home.
Balance to comers lock horns with
your own heifers, and sassel ’em
to their places!” “Saint Peters Jump
Si Crane’s claim to Bess Blodget at
your right! next feller follow to his
place, cut out your lady, give her a
turn, and on to the next.” “Now
get ready for the round rep!” “Gents
lead their trail herd to the left,
ladies to the right, jine outfits, and
work the range together up the
valley!”
Rip out the range, lines, ladies on
this side, gents on that. Forward
and back! Boys, carral the fillies,
rope your own, and back to your
claim with her! “The gents will
seat the ladies, and the band will
take five minutes for refreshments
in which I’ll jine ’em.
Representative George R. Ross intro
duced two new bills in the House Wednes-
nesday. One is to increase the road tax
levy in Moore county, and the other to
validate the bond issue in Moore county.
This last bill is an excellent one and
should become a law in order to strengthen
any bond issue of the county that has or
will be issued by the county.
Pay Your Bills Promptly
Today is Pay Your Bills Promptly Day. If
r
you do not pay your bills promptly, you are
in reality asking your butcher, your grocer
and your drygoods man to lend you money
without interest. The simple truth of the
matter is that unpaid bills mean higher
prices. You, and every one else, can pay
every bill promptly if you make up your
mind to buy only things you can afford.
