WHY FORD CAME HOME
(Portland Telegraph

Mrs. Inez Mulhalland Boissevain of New York left the Ford peace party in high dudgeon, because she could not have her way. Were Mrs. Boissevain a student of human nature she would know that in fair and open dealings with any concourse of people, mo- body ever has his way. She complains that "We have appeared to the public what are in fact . confused mass of amably intentionted persons, of vague thinking and no collective planning"
 Henry Ford. if he had the command of an- guage is unquestionahly possessed by Mrs Boisse- vain and were as frank in expressing himself, could gve very entertaining account of why he deserted the party personally. though still recognizing his financial obligations the cotere of well-meanng individuals whom he had gathered together. Mir. Ford was quick to recognize failure and chose to be as far away as possible when the break should
 The Ford peace party lacked the first element of success. A collective body accomplish little unless each individual member Is acuated by the prin cple of great personal compromise and sacrifice This is why crisis always calls for the directing hand of autocratic power. Grant was successful a gen eral in supreme command of all the nations troops, first because he was competent, and second because he had all the power of autocrat the active head of the army in the field. Democratic gatherings at times overlook the value Of able and efficient lead ership. A peace party Is often misnomer, because the spirit that dominates peace gathering is gen
 ally wholly and dvergently militant.

 All throughout 1916, 8 girl has perfect right to ask Jack, Tom, Harry Bob to be her husband, flor better or for worse, whatever the case may be- You can pursue him in any way you wish for all is fair in love and war.
 Its cinch that Bob will act coy-like and will want to make it appear that he is in hurry to rush into an alliance. But take from girls. he is just as anxious-and perhaps than you are to get married. As matter of probable fact, he IS crazy to get you for his wife and all he is waiting for Is to see if you have "spunk" enough to ask him. All you have to do is say Bob will you be mine" just like that. and you have him and the world will wish you both happiness everafter. That's easy girls rry it On Anyhow, it's up to you this year.

WHY WORRY

It is said that worrys effect is like that of poison Then why worry? Many of us are worrying over the cold weather the lack Of water the threat that Alas ka will become dry like Washington and that some will drink wood alcohol. Some Of worry over unpreparedness others worry the poor mail ser ice cable service; some there are who worry over their complexion and all such foolish and kinds of worries, which if it is that worrys effect is like that of poison it follows that We must all be poison ed and some one will worry that also.
 Worry is said to have become question of hygiene rather than of religion But whether immoral or not, it is certainly unheahful Whatever it's effect upon the soul-those who have souls-it is known to in- iure the body. In opinion the only thing that is worth worrying days is whether our water pipes will freeze-after the water is turned in a.
