ABSOLUTE LIBERTY
I could not resist writing Malcolm
Stuart a little note saying, You have
put me in rather an awkward posi-
ton, my dear Malcolm, by saying
you cannat sail away until have
paid visit to the Lady Saliva. Don't
you see if I went, my visit would say:
What's your hurry? Where's your
hat?' Let me smile at you a little,
for somehow smiling does not come
to me easily now.
It's all nonsense about your not
having a good time without me, you
know, for with Eliene and MOllie and
DOnna-DOnna Tenny is visiting me
and l am going to send her with
MOllie and Eiene-yOu will have the
time Of your life. Very privately
am going to tell you I expect you to
fall in love with Donna and quit your
sailing around new countries for to
see.'
1T would be an ideal arrangement,
for Donna would keep you here with
US, and I know your friends will be
very, very lonely when you again slip
out of their lives and go away to
ports UnknOwn.-Margie."
Yes, little book, Donna came yes
teTday following her letter very
quickly. I have never seen her look

has softened her face-her coloring
is as delicate as that of a girl of 20.
Donna interests me greatly; she is
such a creature of contradictions.
One minute she mOUrns Bill and will
not be cOmfOrted. The next she is
the happiest woman I have ever

hear her tell her experiences and
what they mean to her.

to me yesterday, Il think a wOman's
whole life is one of negation. Most
Of all, she must constantly deny her
self.
Il don't wonder that Ellen Key
says a woman's dangerous age is be-
tween forty and fifty. What she did
not say, however, seems to me is
more significant. It is that very few
women wake up to the fact that they
have been up to that time under the
absolute dominion of something or
someone.
AS girls we must subscribe to
nUmberless conventions that are as
silly as they are barbarOus. After
marriage our husbands consciously
or uncOnsciOusly make a set of rules
which we must obey, even if we do
not honor them-and widows! Wild

that what he used to term jealousy

envy.

BEAVERS KILLED BY
 BAND OF FOREIGNERS

It may not be generally known. but it is a fact nevertheless that the val uable fur animal known as tie beav- CT, is native of the region lying back of Tyonic and exists in numbers .here. In order to protect the beaver from total extinction in that country, the government placed a ban on the kill ing of the animal for given period, until 1920, we believe. The native population has shown due regard for this regulation and as a conset, t,uence the animals have shown healthy and encouraging increase Now comes the information that a company of foreigners have visited the beaver grounds and have taken many beaver skins, that will probably be offered for sale to local fur dealers. There is no fur warden in this community. The game warden has nothing to do with fur-bearing animals. In this situation. it is up to private individu- als to act, to the end that those guilty of violation of this important reSu,a- tion shall be punished to the full ex- tent of the law. If any of these furs are offered in the local market. let those offering them for sale be appre- hended. ed.-Anchorag Times.

GERMAN POT ROAST
 COMES UNDER A BAN

CHICAGO, May g. - German fried" potatoes and German pot roast" were officially interned in Chi cago today for a period extending over the duration of the war.
 At special meeting of the Chicago Hotel association it was decided to eliminate all signs of German parent age from the articles on their menu. The dishes themselves will not be tempered with but the "monickers" are all due for revision.
 Hereafter it will be American noodles. potatoes and pancakes. No decision has been reached as to the fate of the toothsome weiner. schnit- gel and other dishes of unchangable Teutonic nomenclature.
 The innovation goes into effect im- mediately.

Neither the miners head nor the state executive would talk of the confer ence, but Harrington stated he has sent Harry Fishwick, vice president and T, J. Reynolds. member of the Miners Board of Arbitration, to in- vestigate the strike at Nokomis, Witt and Kincaid
 The first ntimation that German influence might be at work among the miners was received in a letter from Spring Valley in which a miner ask ed if it was true that Southern Illin- ois miners are receiving $1 more a day than Central and Northern Illinois miners. Harrington is inclined to be- lieve an organized movement to cause dissention is on foot and may ask the government to investigate further.

VILLA SAYS HE WILL
 NOT AID THE GERMANS

FL PASO, May 9.-Denying that he has made any alliance with Ger man agents and asserting that his sole aim is to overthrow the CarranZa gov ernment, Francisco Villa recently is sued a proclamation directed to the people of Mexico and America. The document, issued at Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, outlines in part Villas fu- ure operations, and declares that he will oppose any attempt to make Mex ico base for German operations against the United States.
 "I wish to inform my Mexican com patriots, and the American people, that have neither made any alliance with the German government nor made any compromise with German agents who have been spreading the war propaganda, the proclamation read in part.
 In discussing his future plans, the bandit leader says he intends to ob- tain endorsements from Durango, after which he will make an attemp: to capture Chihuahua City, and then will march against Juarez.
 Villa expressed that hope that "his grand friends, General Scott" would agree to confer with him when he reaches the border, and says he will try to arrange a settlement of his diff ference with Washington through Senator Fall of New Mexico.
