It's Just the problem of three peO.
pie living on that amount per week.
Can it be done. and leave any joy. any
sweetness after the grind and the
stress Of every day? It's you. dear.

NO" he said. ut would be you who
would suffer most"
He went home very thoughtful. He
had never suspected this gay, light
hearted girl of such hard common
sense: for he began to be convinced
1t was common sense.
Soon after this he came to Dorothy
fered much better position in the
largest city of the state. He was leav-
ing the next week. and he had great
hopes Of bringing Dorothy and her
mother there before long. Together
they built some beautiful air castles
in which they were to live happily
ever after.
Letters flew steadily back and forth.
and Dorothy was happy in noting the
cheerful. confident tone in which Field
wrote.
Meanwhile the small amount of
money with which they had been left
was steadily dwindIing. and Dorothy
saw that she must try to find some
thing to do. The two women knew
about as much about the business of
earning money as nice little white
kitten playing with a ball.
"Oh. dear!" walled the mother. II
don't know what we can dol"
Once Arthur Field had sent her q
small check in q letter. delicately sug-
costing she should buy something she
liked. but she had sent 1t back. Doro-
thy was very proud, perhaps abnor-
mally so. but 1t was her nature.
The girl also wondered what they
could do. but she didn't wall. She set
about trying. After a week Of set
backs and discouragements. she sud-
denly said to her mother:
"Dearie. I've just thought Of some.
thing. You know l can make the best
butter-scotch going. I'm going to try
selling it,"
"selling IT." echoed her mother
blankly. "Who will take 1t outr
II Will" -

land County and several men III
adjoining counties, to work -:
him spare time or all the tim.
He can use only those who hav,

ant and no previous selling ex-
perience is necessary. Work
consists of leaving a wonderful
new household necessity in the
homes on free trial. Tests at
more than thirty of the leading
Universities and the Government
Bureau of Standards show this
new article to be four times as
efficient as article now in general
use in this section. Article is

household, bringing cheer, COM
fort and happiness into the home.
Not necessary to be away from
nome nights. Pay from 5000 to
$500 per day according to ablili-
fy and number of homes visited.
In writing Mr.. Sheppy, mention
what townships will be most con-
venient for you to work in; what
your regular occupation is; your
age; married or single; how long
have you lived in the community;
what kind of rig or auto you
have; whether you wish to work
spare time or steady ;how much
time you will have to devote to
the work; when you can start, and
about how many homes are with
in six miles of you in each direc-
ton. This is a splendid opport'
unity for several men in Richland
County and counties adjoining to
make good money, working steady
or spare time. Some of the
field men earn 100000 per month
one farmer earned 100000
working spare time only. No IN

 The President wrote letter say ing: My heart is entirely with the men at the front or about to go, and my thoughts will follow them across the sea with confidence and also genuine envy, for should like to be with them on the field and in the trenches where the real and final battle for the independence of the United States is to be fought. They will he alongside other peoples of the world struggling like our selves to make an end of those things which have threatened the integrity of their territory and the lives of their people.
