Consider His Fault Ere Wed.

Dear Miss Libbey: / am young
lady, % years old, and am deeply in
love with a young gentleman, "a
years old, who is great friend of my
employer. He is also very rich. We
have been engaged for two months
now, but about week ago he called
and went out to the Yacht club to
an informal dance given by him, and
we went out on the lake in canoe
when he told me of his terrible weak
ness-dfink. He told me that he has
tried to conquer it, he has ever gone
to institutions to be treated for it, but
it seems that he cannot be cured. He
warned me of it, and. asked me to
consider very seriously before marry
ing him, and he said if did decide
not to marry him he would still love
me and honor me for my decision.
Miss Libbey, / have tried to decide,
but | love him too much, but, as he
says, it may be years or days before
he breaks out on another spell, and no
telling what he would do while under
the influence of drink. Miss Libbey,
won't you please help decide? | love
him dearly and it seems ! cannot give
him up. Please help me. E. H.
1t is an earnest wish that love pos
sibly might change him into reforma-
ton. Yet you had better decide to
wait a year and test that time OF
probation. All is well that ends well.

excellent organ second hand for only
$40. The dues are twenty-five cents

1928, thirteen dollars were spent
for library books and $56.26 for a

The association has done q fine
work in the community despite much
adverse criticism. It has brought the
mothers closer together, as they have
begun more fully to realize that Gin

Debate Two Referendums.

Considerable time was devoted to the
consideration of referendums Nos 10
and IL sent out by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States to it's
constituent members. Following the
reading of a report from a special COM
mittee of the board, the first of these
was voted upon, the board approving
a majority report of a special commit
tee of the national chamber in etery
detail. The referendum had to do with
recommendations pertaining to increas-
ing the scope and activities of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce and the consular service.
A report urging the board to indorse
the majority report of special com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States on the other referen-
dunn also was presented. This referen-
dunn has to do with the plan to estab-
liSh an interna tional court to settle
disputes of nations and for the crea-
ton of international laws. The Board
of Trade committee urged that all the
recommendation of the national cham
ber's committee be concurred in, but
opposition was voiced by John Joy
Edison.
Mr.. Edison was a member of the COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States which reported on
the referendum. He joined in minor
ity report brought in by that COM
mittee.
Mr.. Edison objected to a section pro
viding that the United States should
take the initiative in concerted move
ment to bring economic pressure to
bear on any nation which failed to sub
nit its disputes to the proposed inter
national court for settlement, and also
one providing this country should take
the initiative in bringing military pres
sure on any such nation when economic
preSSure failed

Peters Heart Is in His Mouth.
A mouth, I'm sure you will agree,
Is no place for heart 10 be.
Copyright. 1915. by J. G. Lloyd.

Is no place for a heart TO be-
OF course not, And of course no one
ever does really and truly have his
heart in his mouth. But if you ever
have been terribly frightened probably
you have felt as If your heart were in
your mouth, or at any rate in your
throat. Peter Rabbit is quite positive
that his heart has jumped quite into
his mouth more than once. You
couldn't make him believe anything
else. He would tell you that it is his
heart and he ought to know, if any
body does, where his heart is and what
it does. You see, Peter is like very
great many people-set in his opin-
ions.
So it would be quite useless to tell
him that his heart wasn't really in
his mouth that night when he stole
from the brush heap to the old stump
and then to the young hemlock tree
again right in plain sight of Hooty the
Owl had Hooty but turned his head
at the right time. He is positive it
was.
Hooty sat on the top of his watch
tower, which, as you know, was tall
dead tree. So still he sat and SO
straight that he looked in the moon
light like part of the tree itself. His
great yellow eyes were fixed on the
little hole in an old log into which he
had chased Shadow the Weasel. He
was waiting for Shadow to come out.
once in while he turned his head
without moving his body at all until he
could look straight behind him. Then
IL seemed as if his head had been put
on his shoulders hindSide before. He
would look tehind him this way only
for an instant just to make sure that
there was no one moving there. Then
his head would snap around back in a
fash, and he would once more fix his
great, fierce, hungry-looking eyes on
the old log in which Shadow had found
safety.
Peter waited until Hooty had looked
back this way and then the very in
slant Hooty's head few around so that

he stepped on a dry stick sticking
above the snow and it broke with a
tiny snap. 1t was a very little sound,
but instantly Hooty's head flew around
and Peter could just feel those great
fierce eyes slarirg at the little hem
lock tree. This time he thought that
his heart would jump right out of his
mouth. But Peter was quite under the
spreading branches of the little hem
lock tree when he had SO carelessly
stepped on that little dry twig, and
Hooty couldn't see him. For min
ute he stared very hard, but only for a
minute. You see, he didn't dare keep
his head turned longer for fear that
Shadow would slip out of that old log
and get away.
Such a sigh of relief as Peter did give
then, He was safe now from Hooty,
for the little Hemlock tree was tall
enough so that Hooty could not see
beyond it. Il wish 1 could get away
from Shadow as easily thought Peter
as he hurried away through the Green
Forest, y-lipperty-lip. But just
as soon he gets away from Hooty
he will follow my tracks. Oh, dear.
What shall 1 do next?"
