Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and have been keep
ing company for the past year with a
man one year my senior. For the first
six months everything glided, along
smoothly. and for the past six months
we have been arguing constantly.
Now he is angry and we have parted
and for the last two weeks | have not
heard from him. love him very much
and he told me the same many times
but of late he has become very cold and
does not seem to care any more for me.

CBy Associated Press

SEAGIRT, n j.. July 17-Whether
Woodrow Wilson will resign his guber-
Material office or retain it during his
presidential campaign, will be determined
within a few days. His friends said
today they thought the governor would
remain in Trenton at least until the
first of the year if he carries the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket to victory.
The governor says he has been so
pressed for time that he fears he will
be compelled to steal away" to write
his speech of acceptance. In this he
wants to take up carefully the platform
and the issues he is to discuss during
the campaign. He hopes to have the ad-
dress completed several days before the
notification ceremony on August Z.
DR.. Wilson said today he has not yet
completed hts list Of "debatable states"
which he took up yesterday with Major
ity Leader Underwood. Conditions in sew
eral states are yet to be considered.
Among these is Massachusetts,, which the
governor said he considerd as extremely
debatable." He thought the chances
of carrying Wisconsin seemed excellent.

Let us all keep our homes free from the
evils that lead to gambling, drunkenness and

their bodies are for the Holy Ghost to dwell
In and that evil thinking brings on evil deeds
In our own strength can do nothing, but
we may lean OF the everlasting arms and re-
member that His love ever fails and the things
we try 70 do In humility and faith will be ac-
complished.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Plans for re-
organizing and Strengthening the mill
tary forces of the United States are
being threshed out by Secretary Slim
sons army council now in session here.
Two distinct and variant views are
being considered. One plan would create
a reserve composed entirely of men who
have served at least one enlistment in
the regular army and who for a small
annual compensation would report at
occasional musters and drills and hold
themselves in readiness for a call to the
colors. The other looks to the increase
of the regular army to its full war
strength, practically abandoning the re-
serve theory.
The council is also discussing a propo-
sition to abandon the big isolated army
posts and locate the troops in. great
