DANGEROUS TO MARRY A MAN YOU NEVER SAW.
Deer Miss Flo: —
3 am going around with a boy
whom I like very much, but he is
-so jealous I think I ought to stop
seeing him. I am only nineteen years
old and I like to go out with other
fcoys. When I do he gets very angry.
Do you think it is because he cares
a lot for me?
L. W.
It is quite likely that he cares a
sgreat deal for you—if he is so jeal-t
ous. Agairu it is possible that he is
extremely jealous by nature, and is j
one of those persons who is jealous
of anything that touches him —di-
rectly or indirectly. But regardless
of this —his jealousy is a n unforgiv
able insult to you. If he hasn’t the
confidence in you to trust you with
others, you would be wise to stop
seeing him. Until you are engaged
you most certainly are at liberty to
see and go out with any boys you
care to.
Dear Miss Flo: —
I am in love with a girl and want
to ask her to marry me —but I be
come absolutely tongue-tied when I
try to propose to her. Until recent
ly) I had every reason to believe
that she cared for me but, lately,
her attitude toward me complet
ely changed. Do you think sne is
tired of me? What can I do?
o. G.
I am afraid, that she has become
impatient and is tired of waiting j
until you get up enough courage to
propose to her. And unless you act
quickly—it may be too late. Right
now she is prcuably trying to pique
your interest or worry you to the
point of forgetting your bashfulness,
but she may lose interest complete
ly and give you up as a bad job.
If you can't summon up enough
courage to tell the lady of your
love, why don’t you write to her.
Os course a proposal by letter is
never as thrilling—and it is hardly
likely to receive as gracious a wel
come, for it robs the woman of the
thrill that comes but once in a life
time and takes the kick out of her
great moment. Still, in your case,
it looks like if you don’t make it
by letter you won’t make it at all —
and if the lady loves you she would
rather have your proposal by mail
than not at all.
But don’t delay any longer. Take
the plunge—and the rest will be ea
sy. Remember even if she does re
fuse you can consider the proposal
a great moral victory for you, any
way.
Dear Miss Flo: —
The other day I permitted ray boss
to take me home in his car —and
since then I have heard quite a few
people making mean remarks about
it. I know I shouldn’t let it bother
me —for I can’t think there was
anything wrong about it. I’d like
to have your opinion.
D. E.
It’s a scandal-loving world, my
dear—and those who like to gossip
need very little excuse to do it. So
you see, it isn’t enough just to be
good—a girl has to look good and
act good. Otherwise, her good repu
tation will suffer.
Don’t let it worry you, but be
more discreet in the future. Now
that you know how little it takes to
start gossip take care to give no op
portunity to those who are always
watching for a chance.
It doesn’t seem fair of course —
but that’s the way it goes—and in i
the long run it pays to protect your j
reputation. I
PECAN DEMAND
EXCEEDS CROP
Every N. C. Farm Should Have
At Least Five Pecan
Trees, Says Curran
“There is no danger of an over
production of pecans, and no one
need refrain from planting more
trees on that account,” said H. M.
Curran, forester for the State De
partment of Agriculture. “Food nuts
have never been in excess of the
world’s needs,” he continued. “Cur
rent demands exceed existing sup
plies. There is little likelihood of
there being any appreciable excess
If we consider medium prices and
mass production the aim of the in
dustry.
'‘Pecans so far have been a lux
ury nut. The end of seventy-cent
pecans seems to be at hand and in the
future we may expect them to be
selling a little above the prices of
walnuts and almonds, because of ;
their superior quality.
“The Pacific coast nut growers
have nothing to fear from the pecan
growing industry. Both groups—
here and there —should link hands
across the continent in common sales
organizations whose object must be
to induce the public to use more and
more nut products and to furnish
them with a dependable product,
attractively packed, a price which
will take nuts from the luxury
group and place them as a necessity
©n every table.
Can’t Be Unprofitable
“We need not fear, even with com
paratively low prices, even the pe
can industry will prove unprofitab
le. There is probably no nut on the
market than can be produces for
less money or whose crop is so cer
tain as this nut from our native for-
Dear Miss Flo:
! I have been corresponding with a
| man for two years—and although
Iwe have never met each other he
! claims he has fallen in love
with me and wants me to marry
him. I am thirty years old —and
want to get married, for I have no
family an:' am lonely. Do you think
there would be any chance of hap
piness were I to marry this man
whom I have never seen. Every
body advises me against it but I’m
tempted to take a chance.
D. D.
I If you do this reckless thing you
! are planning you have just about as
much chance for happiness as the
proverbial Chinaman!
For a man who has any good
qualities whatsoever to commend
him doesn’t have to marry a woman
whom he has never seen. Moreover,
he wouldn’t do it, for he can find
plenty of women in his own com
munity who are willing to marry
him. And if he is leaving love out
of the question—as he evidently is—
there is always the lonely spinster
or the widow who will marry him.
It is a pathetic thing of course
that any woman’s life should be so
dull and barren and uhinteresting
and devoid of romance that she is
willing to seek any sort of a sub
stitute through the channels of cor
respondence.
But it is infinitely better to be
bored and lonely than to indulge m
the adventure that is almost sure to
be disastrous. It is better to be
i starved for sentiment than to have
to pay for your bitter taste of it
with tears of shame and misery.
How any woman can risk her |
whole life’s happiness by marrying!
a perfect stranger is beyond all com
prehension. You know absolutely
nothing about him except the highly
colored studies that he has written
about himself. For all you know he
may have a half dozen wives—or he
may be a drunkard —or lie may be
lazy—or he may be quarrelsome.
Any of these things are possible- -
of one thing you may be sure—he
must be highly undesirable if nene
of the women who know him are
willing to have him.
The happiness of a wife depends
upon so many things in a husband.
It depends upon his personal hab’ts,
upon his temper and temperament
upon his disposition, his generosity,
bis morals and his manners.
How then do you know whether a
man will suit you or not if you
have never seen him until he arrives
with a w’edding ring.
All of this without even taking
into considerattion the most import
ant factor of all—love! And noth
ing else on earth makes matrimony
worth while but that.
Isn’t there enough risk in marry
ing a man you have known all your
life without taking a chance on
something you pick out of the grab
bag.
Dear Miss Flo:
Don’t you think a trustworthy son
—twenty-one years old —should be
permitted to take the family car out
once in a while. Dad only use 3it
on Sunday—and the lest of the time
it stays in the garage. Then when
the family wants to go out—l have
to drive it, no matter wba f * N tbex
plans I may have had.
I think your father is a trifle un
fair. If you have proved that you
can be trusted he might let you have
the car occasionally. However, since
he feels as he does about it —why
i not hustle out and earn the money
to buy one of your own. It woud
l do you good.
est trees.”
He continued:
“Remember the figures, 286,000,-
000 pounds of imported nuts annu
ally, and our anticipated production
in the next few years of high grade
pecans probably over 25,000,000
pounds is not a figure to cause much
anxiety.
“The farmers of North Carolina
and the states to the South can
plant their five to ten trees about
each farmstead, even a ©ne hundred
trees to each farm, and there will
be no danger of over-production.
Need 5 Trees Per Farm
“We want and should have five
trees on every farm in eastern Caro
lina. There are fifty counties in
the pecan belt, and with five trees
to each farm, and four thousand
farms in each county, arolina’s
pecan trees woul daggregate 1,000,-

Things You Should Know j

Your Physician
Pardon my remindings you of
your best friend. Yes, I am writ
ing “about your health,”’ as well as
your best aids in maintaining it,
your good doctor ranking first.
There is something distinctive
that is the family physician’s only;
! the surgeon and the specialist may
• be expert in their lines of practice;
! they do things for which the fam
ily physician is not even prepared,
and should not attempt. But, I
would never select either for my
family physician. Their fields are
too narrow—too limited. I would
summon either, only on the advice
of my family doctor.
Your physician should be a
broad, well-read, general practition
er. If that, he is far better posted
in the management of your varied
complaints, than the surgeon or the
specialist. He has a far more ex
tensive knowledge of the remedies
needed for you than either. He
will be a more capable diagnostician
in systematic diseases; and, he will
know when you need a surgeon or
specialist, better than any one else.
Your family physician is indeed
an indispensable man in the commu
nity. He looks after sanitation, and
Better Cash That Check
Do you carry around a bunch of checks for days
and maybe weeks at a time before presenting them
* at the Bank for payment? If so, you are taking un
necessary chances.
Don’t do it. If the account on which the check
is made, is closed from any cause, you might have
trouble in collecting. Even if you are living on a
farm or are away from home, endorse the check, make
it payable to us or order, and then MAIL it to our
B'c*nk and ask us to place it to your credit. Then you
are on the safe side. No trouble at all to bank by mail.

BUM DIES WITH GRAND
GESTURE OF D’ARTAGNAN
I
Newark, N. J., Jan. 28.—With a
jest upon his lips, a man named Wil
liam Connors, a tramp, finished dy
ing inch by inch and joint by joint
in the Newark City Hospital today.
It took him 35 days. A policeman
picked him out of a gutter, dead
drunk, Christmas Five. His whole
body was frost-bitten.
At the hospital next day, they
asked him his name. He told them.
Age? --“42.”
Address? —Haven’t got any here
I guess.”
Occupation?—The patient laughed
“Bum,” he answered,
j They called him “Bill, the Bum.”
' He liked it, Doctors and nurses agre
ed that he was the most cheerful
patient they ever attended.
Gangrene soon made necessary to
! amputate his left arm. His right leg
went next. Then, regretfully and
apologetically, the surgeons amputa
ted his remaining arm.
Somehow he continued to live.
More than that, he continued to
make wise cracks.
“Don’t worry, doc,” he said.
“When I get out this joint “I’ll
make a clean up. Just give a tin cup
and I’m a rich man.”
But he grew weaker and it be
came necessary to amputate his last
limb—his left leg. Bill, swaddied like
a mummy, okayed the procedure.
He was too weak, however, and
knew this morning that he was go
ing to die. A nurse asked him if
she could light a cigarette for him
and hold it while he smoked.
“Don’t bother, sister,” he said.
I “There’s going to be plenty of smoke
where I’m going soon, and I won’t
need those arms to get it either.”
He laughed uproariously.
“That’s a hot one. Slip it to the
doctor, will you, sister?”
Half an hour later, he was dead.
The shades of d’Artaguan and
Cyrano de Bergerac, should they
wish to visit his grave, can find it
in the Potter’s Field Sunday.
Tom Tarheel says that when he
is in doubt about a farming ques
tion, he follows the advice of his
Agricultural Station
workers and that’s why he uses no
other lime on his tobacco land ex
cept the dolomitic or magnesium
form.
ITALIAN MINISTER CHICAGO
SOUNDS LIKE JOKE KELLOG
Washington, Feb. 4.—“ Whose
poke is this?” Thus did Secretary
of State Kellog comment today on
reports that Lepold S. E„ Zuinini as
“minister of Italy” to the City of
Chicago.
Kellog explained the American
government would recognize no en
voy except the Italian ambassador in
Washington.
Care of Babies
*
This baby has never had a day’s sick
ness and never a cross or fretful spell
that lasted an hour. And what do you
suppose is responsible for this healthy,
happy condition? Not diet, for he has
eaten just about anything and every
thing a child could eat. Not drugs, for
he has not been dosed with opiates;
he lias never had a drop of paregoric.
Nor has his sensible mother ever made
him taste castor oil. Yet his nerves are
sound and his little bowels are strong,
and when he does seem the least rest
less or wakeful, or out of sorts —or
likely to be—his mother has him all
serene again in ten or fifteen minutes!
The secret of this complete freedom
from the many ills and upsets so com
mon to infants? Plain old-fashioned
Castoria. A million and more mothers
swear by Castoria, and no wonder!
A few drops and an approaching fever,
colic, diarrhea or constipation seems
to vanish in thin air. Castoria is purely
vegetable; that is why physicians tell
parents they may use it freely with
