WILSON TO TALK TO
CONGRESS ON H. G. |.
President May Deliver Brief
Address on Subject to
Houses.
HIS PLANS YET INDEFINITE

Washington, Dec. 3.--After Presi-
dent Wilson has concluded his address
before congress Tuesday, it is possible
he may deliver a brief address dealing
with the high cost OF living.
The presidents plans on the sub
ject are as yet indefinite and may not
be f;s::s.tured until the last moment be-
fore he goes to congress. 1t is known,
howev,r, that the administration con-
siders the cost Of living one Of the
most pressing questions before the
country and that many of the presi-
dents closest advisers favor consider
ing il in the legislative program.
Thousands Of petitions are pouring
into the White House calling for some
sort OF relief from the present era
Of high prices for food, many Of them
demanding an embargo on foodstuffs
exported to Europe. They are re-
garded BY officials as strong trend oil
public opinion toward an embargo,
but, 1t is understood, will not influence
the administration in favor OF il.
The course, which the president Is
understood to favor, is rather an ex-
tension Of present laws to meet al
legged conspiraeies for cornering foods
and price-hxing.

Widows Society
To Start Raising
A Building Fund

Another fund raising campaign is
coming-this one by "The Society of
American Widows" to raise funds for
a building.
The project calls for building cost
ing between $S0000 and $7s000, laid
out in apartments, to be rented or sold
to widows at reasonable rates.
According to the prospectus all de-
partments OF the society's work will
be located in this building, including
Office, auditorium for meetings, which
will also be used as a gymnasium and
play room for the children, an indus
trial department, cooperative store
for the members and laundry for
use of all the occupants.
This is the society started last April
on a unique plan to help widows in
their struggle for existence along
practical and business like lines, and
In way that will benefit them perma-
nently.
The promoters insist it is not .
charitable organization, but an uplift
movement, intended to tighten the
burdens OF widows who are thrown on
their own resources, with children to
both care for and support.
A bazar is to be given December 8
and 9 at zoo Crounse building to raise
money to carry on the work of the
society.
During the campaign bricks will be
sold in the way Of red boxes filled
with candy. Every man, woman and
child will be given the opportunity to
do their part in helping to swell the
fund for this grand and worthy cause
by either purchasing a brick or send
ing in their subscription.

why, who"--began Florence
looking out at the hitching-post.
Freddy, who was peeking out
under Florence's arm, suddenly
gave whoop and rushed out past
her, shouting:
They're ponies, and they're for
us. Come, Nettie, see what beau
ties. Mama, MAMA" he called,
come and see them
Mama hurried out with the baby
in her arms, and sure enough,
there were three Little Indian
ponies, so near alike you couldn't
tell one from the other two unless
you knew.
Around each pony's neck was tied
a ribbon, one red, one white, one
blue; and to each ribbon was fast
ened a card.
On the red-ribbon card it said
"Freddy's Valentine" and the white
was for Florence, and the blue for
Nettie.

three happier children. They laugh
ed and danced and sang, and forgot
all about how horrid everything was

We'll children, how do you like
them?" asked papa, as he came
out to them.
ooh, papa, how Splendid they
cried. Where did you get them?
"Why, don't the card say they
are your Valentines?" said papa
and that was all he would tell them
But he lifted each of the chill
dren up to the back of pony
and in turn led them around. the
yard. The children were delighted.
And now" said papa, what are
you going to- name them.
Then the trouble began for Flor
ence wanted to name her pony
Valentine, and so did Nettie anc
Freddy.
They finally decided to call al
the ponies Valentine. Freddy's woul
