He ,J.st seems to have a monopoly on lr column. iBut women don't seem to wor- - him in the least. He has more srty friends (or as many) as a Jctor. The' women confide in him th their troubles and he always tfs an answer of consolation or Bj J ff-l- for them - - thus becoming e envy and dream of any mar-- d man. Unmarried himself he has told more married women what to do and where to go than any married man on record. He likes social life and in his home town has tried everything from leading the singing to talk-ing on the radio. His most recent success was the directing and of a play which play-ed ten successful times. He has displayed his leadership ability in various projects, such as being beautification chairman in his city in 1947. Now, if you can't guess - - here's a few more hints: he is always busy, farming and milking cows. He is always riding a horse, and says his age is a past memory which could be a hindrance in his social standing.
