Cost Of Popularity.

David Lloyd George, the British min
lister Of war. was the idol of the trade
union class before the war and he will
probably be their idol after the war, but
just now, on account of his advocacy
of conscription, he is under cloud.
Henry Taylor, the British consul 10
Duluth, said of Lloyd George the other
day:
IF he's unpopular now it's because
he was so very popular before. His
case is like that of the young lady.
What makes Marie so disliked?
one girl asked another.
Why. don't you know" the other
answered. She got the most votes at
he bazaar for being popular Wash

Des Moines, June 3.-''The revela-

light on one Of the stock arguments
OF the feudai barons against votes for
women" says Ora Williams. editor Of
the census. A lot Of the descendants
great stress on the fact that some
women are said to not want to vote,
hence they argue that none should be
permitted to vote Then they also talk
glibly Of submitting the matter 10 the
women alone. Here are some facts
about voting IN Iowa:
Males Of voting age 1874
Males who are voters " ss4. 73s
Votes actually cast in 1914 .4o2,597
Male voters who did not vote. 90. 14o
Males over 81 years who did not
vote ................ 29 Do /
Men who did not want to vote.
per cent ...-............ 3S
Males over u who did not want
to vote. per cent . 40
The fact is that if it could be sub
mitted to the men, as an original pro-
position. whether or not they should
have the right to vote. It would not be
possible to get half Of them out to an
election to declare that fact. At any
rate it is just as safe and sensible to
make this assertion as 10 make thu
other one about a majority Of women
being ready to go to the polls and vote
against their own Acknowledgement.

Grinnell, June 3.-An alumnus of
Grinnell College. graduate of the
class of 1895, whose name is not
divulged, has since his graduation
from the college paid out $50 in COM
pusory wedding presents as result
OF an agreement formed between him
self and nine other of his classmates
before their graduation.
The agreement between the ten men
was that when any one of them should
marry, each of the others would have
TO remit a check for $40 as a wedding
present. The agreement was to re-
main in force until all Of them should
be married.
All Wed But One.
Today nine of them are married and
we'll established in life. But this one
unfortunate has not yet seen his way
clear to take the important step, and
consequently he has lost out on
$40 wedding present and at the same
time has had to pay the same amount
in nine installments 10 his fellow
classmates. However, he has the
satisfaction of knowing that, if he
ever does get married. he has a sum
of $50 coming to him If his nine fell
low classmates are all alive.
1t was not until very recently that
anyone outside Of the ten men knew
anything of the organization, but one
of them in a recent conversation about
old times with younger graduate let
the cat out of the bag and exposed the
unlucky member of the ten. Nothing.
however, would induce him to reveal
the identity of his friend.

PICKING A MAN

When one hears sheltered iedge-
lings discussing marriage, two lines of
thought appear. The romantic girl
says: Il shall marry the man | love,
no matter how poor he is" The 1917
, model says: 81 shall never marry un-
less my husband can support me with
out having to economize."
Both are wrong. Marriage is not a
matter Of money, but of character. A
man in a $3.50 suit, with last win
ter's hat wel-saved, a tie that has to
be adjusted against the worn places;
with S1,27 in his pocket, his debts paid
and a productive job; with clear eye,
sound body and a liking for work,
is worth more than a romantic fox
trotter and spender of Fathers
money put together.
Most Of the domestic shipwrecks
come from no knowledge or apprecia-
ton Of character. A handsome, clever
youth, with winning tongue, sets
half a girls community afre, and
when he marries amid residuary
heartburnings, no one seems to real
ize that he never did a thing worth
while in his life and never will be any
thing but a parasite on society and a
mere excrescence on mankind.
A boy, too indulgently supplied with
money, drives a motor-car, dances di-
vinely, entertains royalty, and some
girl marries him triumphantly with
out a thought as to his character and
worthiness. Some boys survive over
indulgence, but they generally make a
mess of domestic life.
The needless race for pleasure, the
feverish pursuit of excitement, the
bad example of the few and the
thoughtless emulation of the many
obscure the question of character, SO
that the Shower qualities win too of
ten, and, without any strength or
robust virtue behind them, bring
homes of shipwreck

people, born to the soil or to some

moderately paid craft, seem to be
worse dazzled by these tinsel qualities
than those born nearer the purple, so
there is a continual misjudging Of
values and continuous succession Of
cross-marriages that mostly bring un-
happiness.
II is to the everlasting credit Of
both sorts that so many Of these mis-
matings turn out well, for Dame Ma
turc often springs a surprise through
the law OF compensation, ard the
thoughtlcss girl sometimes develops
into the strong partner of the team
and moulds her life mistake into a
measurable success.
II is not well to preach q doctrine
Of deliberate selection in anything so
full Of sentiment and romance as mar
riage. but we need a higher standard
of character among our young folks
We need a better example among our
selves-so that the superficial quail
ties will not sway fancy and feeling so
strongly, and so that the instructive
feminine motive in picking man"
will not so often be misplaced
Character is the final test of success
in anything, and no permanent or
worthwhile happiness comes without
it. Most women, also, find it some
thing of strain to supply all the
character for the family They should
have a little on the other side Of

their interests nnd suffer loss in con-
sequence. such loss can be avoided
only by careful ana thorough study
OF all available markets
The following steps may be OF as.
SlStnncc IN acquiring knowledge OF
the sale value OF timber:
FirSt.-T2kc advantage OF the cXpc-
ricncc OF nclghbors who have recently
sold timber or have otherwise inform.
cd themselves in regard to good mar.
kcis and current prices.
Doubtless the prcpondcraIlcc of poor
bargains over good ones has something
to do with the provcrbial rcticcncc OF
farmers on the subject OF their timber
sales. 1t is not unusual to find cases
where adjacent farmers have sold ap-
proXimatcly the same grade Of mate,
rial ut about the same time for widely
different prices. In communities where
the cooperative spirit Is strong stump
age values usually become pretty well
known.
Second. Apply to the state forester,
the county agricultural agent or any
other available public official or per-
sonal agency for sources OF infOrma-
tion and advice regarding possible
markets and timber prices.
Third Employ the services OF some
rcliable man who has made special
study of market prices Of logs and
lumber. The saving gained thereby,
unless the owner has had much ex.
pcricncc along that line. may amount
to from ten to forty times the cost OF
the examination.
The opportunity in this field Is par.
ticularly promising In most sections
where timber has been sold to any cx-
tent in the past men OF the necessary
/ qualifications can be found whom such
employment by the day or the Job
would enable to keep up with market
conditions and be Of very real as.
sistance to owners OF timber.
Fourth.-Get into touch through cor.
respondence with outside buyers and
thus awaken competition among as
many prospective purchasers as posi-.
bic. live effort along this line will
often succeed in bringing about an
open market for standing timber.
Fifth Determine the value of the
material by reference to current mar.
