A SMALL PRETTY GIRL.
It happened on an east bound
train in Indiana on the day of-
ter New Year’s. On the observa-
tion ear was gathered a group of
college boys and girls returning
to an Eastern university.
About half of these young peo-
ple, including the girls,were smok-
ing. Most of them were expen-
sively dressed. The best dressed
a^nd prettiest girl in the party had
refused to smoke and was being
joshed for being a prude.
Of course, I just had to listen
in.
“What’s the big idea, Sally?”
asked a husky young shiek from
Omaha. ‘Afraid you’ll spoil that
rose-pink complexion?”
“My, that isn’t it!” said a
sua.ppy-eyed little brunette, wear-
ing the same sorority pin as Sally.
It’s just that Sally has more sense
than most of us. Sally isn’t a
prude and she does just about as
she pjleases.”
‘I’ll bet it’s because Bill does
not approve,” said another one
of the young men. “You know
Bill is captain of the foot ball
team for next year and he does
not believe that girls should
smoke.”
“Defend yourself, Sally,” said
another of the girls. “Tell these
dubs why you don’t smoke.”
“Of course it’s none of their
.business,” said Sally, “but it’s
| just because smoking doesn’t fit
in with my idea of living. Neither
does drinking nor necking, if you
want to know.
“I think it is simply stupid to
do things that don’t give you any
special pleasure and that spoil
you for enjoying something bet-
ter.
“It'seems to me that there are
just two ways to live if one
thinks at all and has any indivi-
duality.
“You can live as clean and fine
as you know how and fit yourself
to do real things like Lindbergh
is doing. Or you can follow along
with the kind of folks that are
trying to get a kick out of doing
something just a little wicked.
“Then you kid yourself into
thinking you are in the swim and
are a good sport and all that.
And I notice a lot of good sports
can’t stand the pressure and go
rotten, as Hickman did. As a

MAN, 80, BETS HE WILL
LIVE FIVE YEARS
Salina, Kan.—J. E. Watson,
80 years old local capitalist, who
has just bet an insurance com-
pany $100,000 that he will live
at least five years longer, Thurs-
day gave the following outline
of his mode of living, which he
says makes the bet a cinch.
“I never take any worries to
bed with me.
“ When I make a business de-
cision I do my best and that ends
the matter.
“I take a short nap after lunch
every day.
“I sleep out of doors 365 days
a year, eat plenty of wholesome
food, drink a lot of pure water
and take a bath every day.”
Mr. Watson recently paid an
insurance company $100,000 cash,
arid in return the company agreed
to pay him $1,500 a month as
long as he lives.
In five years, if he is still alive,
he will have the $100,000 back,
matter of fact it takes real nerve j and from that time on until his
to be decent these days, and I al-j death he will make a profit of ap-
ways did hate a weak sister. j pr0ximately $50 a day.

“There’s all there is to it.
“Ouch!” said the young shiek

SURE BEARING ORCHARDS
Few fruit trees have been planted in many years, and the sup-
ply of home-grGwn peaches, plums, pears, berries, figs and
other fruits is far below the demand.
People will go twenty miles to get fresh fruit. The grower
does not have to take it to market.
Back yards will, produce enough fruit for town, homes,
not raise abundance of fruit at home? ' '
