GIRLS, THIS IS
LEAP YEAR
Thin thought was brought
mind in looking over the record of
marriage licriin ixsueil (ir tin.
year li07. Hiity-uli was the iuiii
toti I lor Crook county. Just four
more than for the year 11KW.
Hoys, how can you look the girl
in tho face with such a word
standing against you. Hut, you
say, there were only M death and
OS births for tho year just closed,
which wirt 'o even up thinir..
The ohli(ii.g deputy county clerk
wa asked to verify these figure
and we w re assured by tho young
lady that the record wan correct
Hhe thought it a very oor showing
ami a standing reproach to the
young men. "Hut you just wail"
(she Fluttered a little when die
aaid It) "this la leap year."
taking up the cueftl this point
the reiiorter made a mental in
ventory of the numher of tdiuihle
young men in Prineville. The
list i a pretty long one. Borne of
them, of counte, are left overs, or
hold-overs, if you like that heller,
for yea, these many moons, hut
they ore not a hit older than they
were twenty years ago. They are
still in the running and should
not t den'ed the priviK g.-n t,f the
year 1908.
First and foremost we miKhl
mention Ilro. Kennedy of the
Review. Jin j aoinewhat cny hut
would make a good husband
John Coml Inn withstood Cupid
darta for a long time. lie U just
a young a he ever was, even if
aomewhat heavier in avoirdupois
John would look goo I at tho head
of a houituheld. Then we have
Warren Brown, Max U'uriweiler,
Harold Baldwin, Harry Lanitis,
l-rank Foster, Bruce (iray, Dun
can Macleod, Dale Jones, H. It
Adams, Addio Foster, Dr. 8pauld
Ing, Fred Slimson and a host of
other "eligible" that would make
the beet of matrimonial tiruber if
rojrly domesticated. Home of
them are spoken for, and all of
them have more or less "strings"
to them, hut that should not prove
a serious harrier in the face of a
little persistence. If you "halter
break" them properly you can
lead them at will. Now, girln, it
i up to you.
