SHIFTED VIEWPOINT.

Rassa Jordan stood looking into a show window when she should have been on her way to Mrs. Cassidy's, where she had g room up three flights of stairs with a peek-a-boo window spinting out of the roof. It was show window. too, in the department store where she sold petticoats. Whether you wore silk or cotton you could hnl your joy at Rissa's counter. and a smile. too. In consequence of that smile most people thought that Rissa Jordan was a happy girl. with nothing to ask for, but they were wrong. There were two things in the world which she wanted with all the want that a willow plume!
 great bouquet of willow plumes formed the chief attraction of the brilliantly lighted window. and it was colored even as the rainbow. But only one of these plumes enchanted Rissa. What her eyes saw and saw only was the magnificent pink one that topped the whole cluster. It came to her that if she had that plume on a black vel vet hat the new fioorwalker must look at her instead of over or around her as he had way of doing.
 If I were pretty-if I had that pink willow plume" thought Rissa, as she climbed the steps of Mrs. Cassidy s front door and inserted her latchkey.
 Smells of dinner greeted her. She was hungry, for her luncheon had consisted merely of a sandwich and tea. Her breakfast before then-in her own room-had been more tea and rolls.
 Rissa crawled up to her room with the peek-a- boo window and sinking down on the bed felt just for a few moments that she was going to break down and cry. It came to her sudden ly that life was inconceivably hard. anG would not be less hard the longer she lived it.
 Rissa made herself ready for dinne- by scrubbing her face and hands and running a comb through her thick, straight brown hair. There was a box of talcum on her bureau. but she never used it save on steany, hot days. The dinner bell was dangling at the foot of the stairs as she went down, She slipped into the dining-room and found her place at the long table. The soup was handed round. and when she reached the bottom of her plate and realized that the young man at ne1 left was passing her the crackers for the fifth time She turned her head and looked at him. and their eyes met His were blue, set in a pinky brown face that had the least suggestion oi a dark stubble on it As recognition grew in her glance the young man smiled frankly.

uniustifahIe Greed.

The food crops of this country are among the largest and most bounti- ful in all history-as if Providence had prospered them for the vast emeT- gency which has come upon the world If the producers have in their minds that there will be an extra demand for these foodstuffs in Europe later on for them now in our shipless country and with the surplus piling to the cell ings of our granaries there is no req son in fact or in policy why selfish and greedy dealers should be taking ad- vantage of possible national mis- fortune to oppress and gouge the peo- pie of their own country.

Today the White House Is visited by more than 1000 persons every day. More historical events have centered around this shining, white mansion than around any other like building in the world during the past century. Twenty-eight presidents and their families have lived in 1t, and two have died with in its walls. Lincoln went from its Red room to his assassination at Ford Theater; Garfield was carried unconscious to its shelter where he fingered in pain from the assassin's bullet many weeks before he died. The greatest statesmen of the world have assembled here to dis cuss the destinies of governments and nations. Its magnificient ball. room has been the scene of func- tfons whose splendor has rivaied those of the most sumptuous of Oriental courts. Here the chief ex- ecutfve conducts his business. To maintain the White House and it's expenses 1t requires over $25o,0 a year. Under the head of household expenses, horses and vehicles, etc, is the item S35,0oo; fuel, $6,000, lighting, sS,60e. Today the White House has been enlarged to accom- modate the growing official family or the presidents.

THE COST OF WAR,

The terrors of war are not all to be found upon the batt1efelds. any more than are all of the sacrifices. The countries which have mobi1ized all their available men for aggressive action and left the homes in the care of the boys and old men have only begun to experience the terrific sac- riffces which they have been indirectly called upon to make. The cost of war, as figured in dollars and cents reaches to stupendous amounts, but it is those losses which cannot be turned into figures and the attendant hardships which go herewith, which must be included in the full reckoh- ing of the meaning of war.
 With millions of men gathered for the defense of country, and uphold ing of neutrality only the corners of Europe are thus far spared from sharing in the demoralizing effect,

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

No state which stops to give the matter serious consideration can, in justice to itself and its future, oppose legislation which looks to the educa- ton of its children. The necessity of compulsory education was long ago recognized by the states which gave the proper thought to the coming gen. erations and realized the tendency unless such provision was made. As usual some were more forward than others and have been enjoying the fruits of the action for many years. North Carolina has but just ex- perienced it's first year of compulsory education and so we'll impressed has it been by the results that 1t regrets that the step was not taken long ago. Fully forty thousand more chil- dren were registered in the schools the past year than ever before and when it is realized what that means that state has reason to be proud of its action.
 Each and every child should re- ceive a common school education whether they happen to be in a southern or northern state, but ex- perience shows that such is not possi ble without the proper law and its enforcement. Such laws vary in diff ferent states. and that in North Car oiina applies only between the ages of eight and twelve but it marks the beginning of an improved educational system in that state and reduces to a half dozen the states which have not been convinced of the necessity of re- quiring education and the stamping out of illiteracy

on the basis of his ability to render
the service that the people expect of
