Gifts For Soldiers

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Could you possibly suggest some
kind of an appropriate gift to send
a soldier at camp? Although | have
known him for years l do not care to

Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
"As a man thinketh in his heart

LAS a man thinketh in his heart
so is he"
In other words, he presents to the
world his own conception of himself
And the world accepts him at his
own valuation.
All of us in our experience have
seen some one putting it across with
no apparent equipment, and have
wondered and admired; and we have
all seen real gifts and real talent
fail of recognition. We have pondered
over this injustice, and marvelled al
the strange workings of destinty. But
there is a reason.
My own humble theory is, that the
mediocre but successful people pos
sess an invaluable something which
the gifted but unrecogniZed lack, ana
that is a sense of drama.
We will stand anything in the way
of pose or pretense, provided it is
carried off artistically. For the bad
actor, either off or on the stage,
"Boos" shall be his portion.
Have you ever met a real genius,
one acclaimed so by the world be-
cause of his or her transcendent
gifts? They are as scarce as hens
teeth, but their invariable and dis
tinguished characteristic is that they
are enuEeiN SIMPLE, anu
affected. They don't have to be any
thing else. Nevertheless. they are
dramatic; for that is the role of
genius. Theirs is the drama of
achievement
Poor little Emperor Nicholas of
Russia is an example of those who
are lacking in the dramatic instinct.
Pallid and undersiZed and trembling
at his own shadow, he did not at all
fill the popular idea of a Car. If he
had been a big, clustering brute with
n loud voice and a scowl, it would
have been a much more difficult mat
ter to have dislodged him from his
throne. People will stand for an auto
crat, but never for a counterfeit OF
one.
The same thing is true of Louis
XVI of France. Old Louis XIV un-
derstood the game better. He knew
the deluge was coming, but he died
with his head on his shoulders.
The successful men and women of
the world, either consciously or un-
consciously, have always realized the
value of dramatic effect. They have
locked and acted the part-made the
picture, as the stage saying goes.
l don't suppose for a moment that
George Washington ever attitudiniZ-
ed before a mirror, or purposely
brushed back his hair from his fore
head. But if you don't think that
serene, lofty brow, that classic profile
and that stately bearing of his had
anything to do with his frame, try TO

Fashions of To-Day By May AIanton

Every thoughtful woman is
considering how she can prac-
tice conservation this Winter
and such an apron as this one
is a valuable help. 1t protects
the gown that is worn beneath
and at the same time it is pretty
and becoming. 1t can be made
of a striped cotton material as
it is here or of a checked ma
terial or of plaid gingham or
of plain chambray or of
butchers linen with a little
fancy stitchery in color around
the edges to make very charm
ing effect. Women who have
sufficientleisur may like the last
suggestion. For the very busy
women who must practice con-
servation of time as we'll as
conservation in other direc-,
tons, simple stitched edges are
desirable. White stitched with
blue or with red is pretty, and
blue stitched with white or
with buff makes an attractive
effect. We, long ago learned
that it is worth while to make
the simplest, most prosaic gown
pretty because whatever is at
tractive is restful, and we can
accomplish more when sur
roundings are restful than when
they irritate the eye and
through the eye the nerves.
For the medium size will be
needed, q yards of material 27
inches wide, 3 yards SO.
The pattern No. o582 is cut
m sizes 81 or SO, 38 or 40, AZ or
a. bust. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion De
partment of this paper, on re-
ceipt of ten cents.

Try to Win Her Parents

Dear Miss Fairfax: @
am 23 and am dearly in love
with a girl one year my junior. My
financial condition does not allow
me to marry her, as she comes from
q very wealthy family and her par
ents want her to marry some man
with money. She has asked me sew
eral times to elope. with her, but ]
know my conscience will bother me.

Are you sure you cannot win over
the parents of the girl you love? Do
you care for her deeply enough to
want to make sure of her happiness
Now why not impress her family
with your sincerity, your willingness
to work, your deep desire to m2,ze
their daughter happy. l don't be-
lieve in elopements-but even less
do L believe in your objection to an
elopement. If you think your wife
might taunt you with her wealth
some day, evidently you consider
her snobbish. Are you sure that If
you settle down to good, hard effort
you could not convince your sweet
hearts parents that you are rather
a desirable candidate for son-in-law

The editor of the Hartman Record
takes US to task for our attitude on the
war. He charges us with being all
kinds of bad citizen because We do
not conform to his set ideas of just
how man should talk at this time.
He pretends that the present war is
a fight between democracy and toIer-
ance and autocracy and intolerance.
The attitude he assumes is one of the
most extreme intolerance and better
tltted for the days of the Spanish in
QUESTION than the twentieth century.
While claiming to oppose intolerance
he is guilty of the most blatant intol-
erance IN that he proposes to set the
measure for every man and every one
must conform to his particular ideas
of patriotism or he Is traitor.
We have never felt, nor do we now
believe, that the real measure of the
patriotism OF any man is what comes
out of his mouth, but what his actions
show. We will venture that the
Record editor is not doing half as much
for the aid of our beloved land in this

HELP NATION AND YOURSELF.

One of the most pointed reasons why
the Southland should and MUST grow
unusually large amounts Of food and
feed this season or suffer for that fail
ure is brought to light by the federal
authorities IN the statement, that the
south is liable to be burden instead
of an aid in the war this year.
This declaration is based on the fact
that last year the south imported from
the west $500, 000,0 900 worth OF food
and feed stutfs. The coming year the
food from the west will go to feed the
army and to enemies OF Germany IN
Europe. That means that the south
must grow it's own food or go hungry.
1t IS all very we'll to grow cotton and
sell it tor high price but cotton does
not furnish food for man or beast. The
south must curtail It's cotton crop,
where necessary. and enlarge its food
supply in every way possible or there
will be much suffering the coming WIN
ter.
1t counts for nothing against these
stern facts to say: don't believe 1T. I"
We are facing the most stern and un-
yielding conditions touching food for
man and beast that the world has ever
seen, and the condition is world wide.
We insult grow our food or feel the
pinch OF want.
The people of this county are aroused
as they never were aroused over any
question before. In spite of that fact.
however, it is doubtful if all realize
fully the gravity of the situation.
Every farmer should not only feel it
his duty to grow the largest possible
crops but he should also feel it his duty
tc do all possible to encourage his
neighbor to do likewise.
The food shortage IS so great now
that those we'll informed claim that
food prices are aure to be very high for
another year, regardless of whether or
not the war ceases, and no one expects
the war to end before next winter, If
then.
Let the slogan of every one be:
More Food and Feed and bend every
effort to That end.
The most cheering feature, for the
farmer, of all the urgent requests
made for larger crops this year is the
fact that the larger crop promises
much more profit than usual to the
farmer, for high prices are expected TO
prevail for the crop this year, regard
less of what phase the war may assume
by the time the coming crop is gather
ed.
This year IS sure to prove golden
harvest for the farmer, be the crop
large or small.

The railroads have adopted the very
reasonable and wise rule of giving fer
tilizer shipments the preference over
groceries and food stuff. They are do

ground in the best possible manner at
