Gussie First Is Nature you walk
out In a forest the first thing you ob
serve is the difference In the looks
of the trees. Some small, some crook
ed, some short and some have punk
knots on (diseased) and then the
smooth, straight, tall ones without a
blemish. So it is with the Human
race. They all stand together as one
family. As an example; now there Is
a cause for this either too densely
crowded or nature has not had full
sway. So It Is In our cities not enough
pure air for the girls; too much crowd
ed, too warm rooms and not the prop
er exercise; while the country girl Is
In the open air and sunshine free and
Independent, regular hours and dress
ed In plain, warm clothing and shoes
that do not have heels three inches
high. Whenever you violate Nature's
laws you are taking the life blood
from your veins, while the girls' life
on the farm Is not all sunshine they
have gruesome tasks to perform,
while the city girls have their grand
amusement theatres, clubs and num
erous things for pleasure, while the
farmers' girJs have not these pleas
ures, or that kind of enjoyment, at
least, but temptation is not on every
side of them. They are not up late
at night, eating sweet meats ond only
sleeping a few hours. The bright
faced girl is from the farm, she don't
have to go to the drug store to get
powder nnd paint to make her look
young. She has not violated nature
by being fatigued and not regular
hours and living on excitement. Style
has bocomo a disease, Look at the
wasp waist fashion, Is that nature?
Are these tight fitting garments
healthy? I say no, but alas this Is
only my opinion.

HARMONY NOTES.
A very exciting runaway ocurred
Wednesday evening, near Avery's
store. Mr. Avery's team, hitched to
a road wagon, and driven by his son,
Vernon, became frightened by a por
tion of the wagon breaking, and over
turned the rack, catching his son un
derneath, but fortunately became free
of the wago without dragging it, and
then they started south in the direc
tion of home with the wagon tongue
still attached and swinging from side
to side, as they left the road and
went down the cinder path. One of
Mr. Hilton's horses attacred to a light
wagon was standing in front of the
store. He concluded that absence of
body was the thing desired, so he
whirled around without upsetting the
wagon and started down the road in
an endeavor to break the speed rec
ord. He was pursued by Ben Rosenan
on his wheel and Jack Hunter on
foot in a vain effort to overtake him.
Mr. Avery's team was caught after a
mile run.
