There has been a run on the

drug stores for medications to
get rid of an epidemic of colds
tnat has been going the rounds.
A number of cases have been
close to being serious ones ne

the big secret OCT
At the Hairdressers and Cos
motologists Association conven-,
tion held at Detroit, Mich., re
cently one of the speakers de-!
dared that “women with long
hair are irrevocably attracted to
serious-minded’ men. But on
the other hand bobbed hair girls
find the ephemeral type of gen
tlemen more irrisistible and get,
their men quicker and with
greater frequency than their
old-fashioned sisters.”
HENRY FORD BROKE? t
Henry Ford recently purchas-t
a decrepit corn popping machine,
at Lincoln, 111 for $200. Hei
gave the vendor $10 down and]
a note for the balance—get it!
when you catch him. It might '
be encouraging to some to note
that even Mr. Ford buys things ,
that way. To others it looks
mighty picayunish that a man
of his means should bother yto do
business that way. \ 1
AN OLD CUSTOM
In the old order of living, the
Indian exchanged presents( in
fact a dowry for all presents
went to the bridal couple). The
modern perversion of this cus
V
tom was virtually a barter and £
sale of the young women. Much
has been said in condemnation *!;
of the practice. People living in £
glass houses should never un- *<
dress. V

Hopkinsville, Ky., Aug. 17 (A. *jj
P.)—When a forty-three-year- j
old man marries the thirteen- j
year-old daughter of a man nine j
years younger than himself and *!
t
takes her to Detroit to live with *:
t
some of his nine children, and 3
the girl-bride doesn’t like mar- *•
ried life and her father sells two $
pairs of mules—
Such happenings as these plus *j
a few other more or less dramat- j
ic and complicating elements j
cause county officials in a usual-11 j
ly quiet Kentucky county to *!
scratch their heads and wonder j
whether, after all, it was worth j
while to spend all that money *;
running for office ^
Dad Gave Mules ;
It all started when Ed Green. *
iorty-three, wooed Louise Gibbs *
thirteen, and they eloped to ♦
Trigg County, where they v/ere j'
married. The county clerk de- ! *
manded and received a paper •
purporting to give consent of •
the girl’s father, Henry Gibbs. ;
Gibbs went over to Trigg Coun- ;;
ty and started prosecution I ]
against Green on charges of 1
forcing the consent paper, but 1
the couple seemed happy to- !
gether, and both parties admit ,
Green gave his father-in-law
four mules to forget and forgive. ■
The couple went to Detroit.
The bride said she did not get
-he pretty clothes promised her
and, moreover, didn’t like the
idea of being stepmother to
nine children. So she ran away
to her father.
Wants Bride or Mules
He was minus one bride and
four mules. He wants one or the
other, but the bride stood on her
rights and the father-in-law had ♦
sold the mules. Green had Gibbs j
put in jail on a charge of con- |
verting the proceeds of the sale j
to his own use but still he would ♦
rather have the bride than the l
mules. ♦
