Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am very
much in love with young man, but

each a right TO fight for him? He
does not realize there is trouble. We
are all about eighteen. Y. VI. y.

very uncomfortable II he knew this;

heart on somebody else entirely. l see
no objection TO your being friendly
with him. The others are also. have
no doubt. Since he is not engaged to
one OF the others. you have a perfect
right to accept his invitations and en-
Soy yourself with him. Don't be
Jealous OF the others, my dear II

Gambling for Loser to Pay

Attorney General w. l.. Moose
 was asked Monday if 1t was a
 violation of the state laws re-
 garding gambling for friends to play a game of pool or billiards and the loser to pay for it. The
 attorney general looked over the
 laws regulating gambling in Arkansas and concluded that such an agreement was gamb- ling proposition. and henceforth
 the man who enters a pool hall and looks to the loser to pay for the game is as lible to indictment
 as any gambler. This ruling of the attorney-g general will praci- tically change the system of play all over the state, for it is now customary for the loser to pay
 for the game.

Pres. Wilson on Good Roads

T tell you frankly my interest in good roads is not merely an interest in the pleasure of riding in autos. It is not merely an in- terest in the much more import ant matter of affording farmers of this country and residents in villages means of ready access to such neighboring markets as they need for economic benefit, but it is also the interest in weaving as complicated and ela- borate net of neighborhood and state and national opinion to- gether as it is possible to weave. It is of the most fundamental importance that tn e United States should think in big pieces, should think together. should think ultimately as whole, and I feel in my enthusiasm f r good roads something of the old opposition that there always has been in me to any kind of sec tional feeling. ~ Woodrow Will son.
