I WENT A-COURTING , .1 was. about 20 years old before I ever did any down-rjght courting. 1 was so green at that age, I was mistaken several times by the milch cows for a shock of oats. I had finished school in a country shack and let loose on the ^orld with about a seventh grade education. ..After I had sprouted enough little white fuz on my chin and beneath my nose to shave 4 or 5 times, I felt like I was a man, and need tp look ground for a mate^ (I don't yet see how pa's razor got so dull cutting off E my whiskers, But it took him 2 hours to get it sharp enough <after I used [ it to sever his beard.) . h". A ..A nice gmh-lqtme get acquainted with her about tKTs time. She was very pretty, had red hair, a few freckles^4>?etty teeth and could outwink a hoot-owl. Her winks caught me. She let me visit her. She lived [- 35 miles up the railroad. I bought a ticket one Saturday afternoon and " got on the mixeji freight and arrived at her house about 5:30 p. m. ..Was I dressed up? Was my red i? tie pretty? Were those No. 6 patentleather shoes on my No. 8 feet shiny, and it in August? Was bhat blue serge suit immaculate? Was that plaited bosom shirt and tftfet standing collar just a few years, ahead of style? Was that.box of stick candy (18) a fine present for Mary Sue? Was my hair glued to my head with grease? And were my green traveling specks up to the minute? I'm telling you. ?___ ..She met me at the gate and I met her at the gate. .She laughed and I smiled also. She seemed to admire me. We went in. Her ma came in and her 5 sisters and 6 brothers began to peep in from 15 different places. They had a sofa, the first one I ever saw. We sat on it, 5 feet apart. fliheV had a swinging lamp with glass earbobs on it. I helped her light it with a straw. TWe talked' some, but got no closer. Her pa came in said: "Who air you and what do you follow?" I wished I was at home. We ate supper. I was scared pink, .thinking he might call oji me for the blessing, but they had none. I swallowed very loud, I sweated profusely, I knocked over my gobbler of milk, and spilt the gravy. I spent the night, but couldnt sleep on that soft bed. My nice shirt was wrinkled?I slept in it,. I got in a hurry to go^ home, so put on my things and slipped out of the baywindow about 6 a. m., and went to the depot and caught the first northbound. Then I quit courting for 4 years, but finally got married to another girl,i much prettier. .?

"We should have an air force at least half as big as the combined air squadrons of Europe." "Germany's action," he declared, "has sounded the death knell of the disarmament conference. Neither England nor France will join in a program of disarmament unless both Germany and Italy also join. Italy will not join unless Germany joins, so the plan has been frustrated." "America wants pea,ce," he continuod, "but she also war\W safety herself and peace among other nations, and in order to have that she must have the physical power to compel peace." The committee chairman said he considered the development of' a mighty air force as economical and the most effective way of compelling peace.?'Sunday's Spartanburg Herald. Annual B. Y. I'. U.

Eight federal agents, eaeh carrying j ft machine gun, rode with the deeper- j ado, one of six persons sentenced to ( life imprisonment for the 3200,000 t kidnaping of Charles F, Urschel, Oklahoma City oil millionaire. , The prison coach was attached to k a regular passenger train. 11 Harold Nathan, assistant director ? of the federal burcal of investigation, t said arrival at Leavenworth was t scheduled for midnight. "1 won't be in this spot long," &elly scoiFed just before he was taken aboard the coach, < His auburn-haired wife, Kathryn, j convicted with him and also sentenced ? to life imprisonment, remained be- , hind in the county jail.

Johnson, girls' 4-H club leader, held the first training meeting at the court house last Saturday afternoon with six leaders present.

West, Mrs. L. D. Broome, Mrs. A; B. Holland and Misses Lillian Smith and Louise Hunnicutt. j Mrs. -Johnson will hold the second I training meeting the first Saturday in December. Edward F. McCrady, assistant secretary of labor, is quoted as having I told labor organizations . that unless the unions settle _their disputes between themselves and settle them j quickly, congress will be asked to give the government power to settle cases involving Federal buildings. The matter has been brought to a head because of a dispute between carpen-1 ters and ironworkers as to which craft will do certain work in a gov6rhm?nt building. The contractor for a building offered to pay one craft to do the work and 1ft the other gtand J by Idle on pay if he were only allowed J to get the work done. Neither wilu agree to that. The Federal trade commission has J recognized officially the executive or- J der of President Roosevelt, removing William E. Humphrey as a member of the board. Mr. Humphrey is a Republican and has laid the ground-1 work for plans to carry his case to I the courts, alleging that the president has no authority to remove him from office under the law.
