Dear Miss Grey: l want to
answer Ruth" My trouble OF
the same kind ended in the d.
vorce court.
She must see a doctor and talk
freely to him. Their troubles are
not merely lack of money. The
husband is little less to be pitied
in these home tragedies than is
the woman. Both try their best
for home happiness, but modern
conditions handicap.
She will make mistake IL she
goes out to work. Take care of
her health and make a cheerful
place of her home. If she will
go with her girl to Sunday school,
and show that she is willing to
work. she will be given plenty OF
church work to do to take her
thoughts off her own troubles.
There are thousands OF chill
dred here who need to have
some one notice them. Can't she
read in childish faces on the street
some hardship that she, in her
own need, can understand and
help tighten?
Find out. Ruth" what is the
matter with your health. Hold to
your home, as you value your
daughters future. Cheer up and
tighten someone's else burden
One woman, at least, wishes some
one had advised her. MARTHA

Dear Miss Grey: In an
swer to the wife who signs
herself Ruth, will say: We
have been married four and
one-half years under the
same condition financially as
Ruth, and we have two babies
to feed and clothe and still
we are happy. I believe our
happiness is within us. Think
sorrow, sickness and poverty
and you will surely live it in
reality. Why not be happy?
Try it for yourself. Stop
craving for the impossible
and be content that you have
enough to sustain you and
your everyday need. II you
had all you craved you would
still crave for more.
Try to do something good
for someone who is worse off
than you. There is real Joy
in doing for others. Above
all. you should appreciate q
good, true husband while
you have him. They don't
grow on trees. Many q wife
would give away all her lux
uries just for the pleasure OF
being the companion of such
man. MRS. G.. Y.

MAY NOT PAY TEN
CENTS FOR PIER DANCE

Citizens of Chicago whose money
is paying for the construction of the
municipal pier may not have to pay
10 cents a dance for the privilege Of
dancing on the new municipal pier.
The City Hall proposition that pri-
vate individual named Theodore Wei
don be given the dance hall privilege
and allowed to charge 10 cents for
each dance was wallOped yesterday
when a delegation protested against
it to the compensation board.
The women argued that for Is
cents people can dance a whole eve
ming at neighbOrhOod dance halls
and that a charge of 10 cents for
each dance would bar the poor from
enjoying the pier, supposedly built
by the people for the people. The
compensation committee agreed to
recommend to the haTbOr board that
dances be free. The women were led
by Harriet Vittum, Mrs. Moses L.
Purvin, Amelia Sears, Margaret
Dobyne and Lettie Johnson.

MARRIED.

At the home of the brides sister,
Mrs. Evan Hall. Wednesday afternoon,
November 29, Miss Madge E. Whistler
and A. w. B. Kjosness we're united in
marriage. Rev. j. Wesley Miller Of
ficiating.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kjosness extend congratulations and
extend their most sincere well-wishes.
The bride has been a resident of Amer
ican Falls and vicinity for the past
six years, and is the present superin-
tendent of schools of Power county.
She has been a potent factor in rails
ing the educational standards of this
county, first as an Instructor in the
American Falls high school, then as
teacher of rural school, and final
ly as county superintendent. State
superintendent of public instruction,
Miss Bernice Mccoy. is authority for
the statement that Power county
schools have made greater progress
during the past two years than the
schools of any other county, Coming
from such high source it is difficult
to conceive of higher tribute that
could be paid to the ability and ener-
sy of the head of our county schools.
The groom is the county agent for
Power county, and has recently en-
tered upon his second years service.
He has very wide acquaintance in
the county. and is held in the highest
esteem. Under his leadership agri-
culture is entering upon a higher
plane and the fruits OF his labors will
be more and more in evidence as the
years roll by. Mr.. and Mrs Kjosness
will soon be at home to their friends
in American Falls.

THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL VOTES

The Miner is not impressed with the
possibility of changing the result OF

IS probably true that the election
Judges in many counties gave Alexan-
Ter many votes that properly be-

short of being sufficient to change the
result. But this paper has no doubt
that II the illegal votes cast could

COAL SITUATION NOT HOPEFUL
Dealers, Mine Owners and Railroads
as Greatly Perturbed ~ the Pubic

The coal situation Is bad. There
is not much encouragement to believe
that 1t will become better. On the
contrary. there is reason to believe
that II will become worse with in
creasing cold weather and a conse-
quent increase In the demand for coal
There are probably one hundred
dealers who secure their coal from

and transportation OF this necessity.
Seventy-five per cent OF the coal
miners OF the country are foreigners.
Many OF those here when the war
broke out have returned to Europe.
There has been no immigration dur
Ing the past two years. Many more
OF the miners have been attracted by
the higher wages paid In the war mu-

munitions. The result is a shortage
of labor that the mining companies
have not been able to overcome.
AZ for transportation, the great
number OF cars tied up at shipping
centers because of lack OF unloading
facilities or vessels to take their car
goes; and the large number loaded
with grain at the big milling and mar
keting centers. coupled with the inn
possibility OF getting additional cars
made, makes a car shortage that could
not be anticipated or guarded against.
Railroads which have had orders for
cars with factories for a year or more
are told that they can not expect de-
livery before 1918. The factories arc
working on war contracts UP to the
limit OF their capacity. The situation
Is not encouraging. Those who can,
