Reflections
OF Bachelor Girl, by Helen
Rowland

The worst shock a man can have IS
to wake up after marriage and dis
cover that il was not love but the bill
collector whom he heard knocking at
the door
Az long as a girl continues to look
forward to marriage as stimulant
and man continues to regard 1t as
soporific somebody is bound to be dis
appointed.
The average man lives in blissfnt

he suddenly hears himself proposing
to a woman to the moment when he

WAR THRIFT STAMPS.

The campaign for the sale Of
the war thrift stamps needs the
heartiest encouragement, The
plan to raise Il special war fund
of $1,000. 100000 by this method
will not succeed. unless our PEG
pie can be convinced OF the WIS
dom of purchasing these stamps.
Publicity is the great need. The
-plan itself is sound to the core
and is the most attractive method
of saving and of investment that
could be conceived.
The small investors should be
Especially Interested. The stamps
cost twenty-five cents cacA.-A
card is furnished with space Tor
sixteen stamps. When these
stamps have been purchased ana
twelve cents added, there is Of
fercd in cXrhang. a certificate
(which calls for five dollars at the
end Of five wears. This rep
PRESENTS an interest rate OF four
per cent compounded quarterly.
Certainly, if this IS not good i'll
ycstmcnt. we never heard of one.
But in addition to that. upon no
tee of ten days the government
will return the investment in cash
for the stamps With interest at
three per cent for the interval in
(which they have been held.
! The advantages of the wal
thrift stamps have not been add
vertsed to the public That is
the fault Of the government
(which it seems, has learned
|nothing from methods employed
lin the sale Of the Liberty bonds.
| So far the postoifice is the only

to an offer that works to the good

In this city, is also the superintendent
of the department for the suppression

Colored Women's clubs. Under the di-
rection Of this department the asso-
citation is conducting vigorous cam

reference to the recent East st. Louis
horror. Miss Burroughs succeeded in
getting hearing before the rules COM
mittee of the house of representatives
and presented 1C,O00 petitions from cit
izens in thirty-six states. Congress-
man Dyer has informed Miss Bur-
roughs that the committee was pro-
foundly impressed with the petitions
and that steps will be taken favoring
legislation against the lynching of. col
Ored people which is so prevalent.
In written statement on the matter
of lynching Miss Burroughs says:
when outrages similar to the East
st. Louis orgy occur editors, orators
and a few brave Americans talk for
awhile on the atrociousness of these
