Why Not?

Why Not?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am engaged, but my fiance's sal
ary is small. 1 could get along on
it nicely, as / can cook and sew,
but he has nothing saved, as he has
had heavy family burdens to carry
until recently. He has a small fur
nished room, I another, and we are
both alone. I was married before
and have one child. I pay for his
board. Now we thought if we were
married right away we could take
a couple of rooms and both work
till we had enough to start house
keeping, and we would both be hap
py together. But my friends all say
/ am very foolish. l know it is much
nicer to have your home from the
start, but as neither of us have
any home life now we feel If we
were together we could be very hap
py, as we love each other very much.
MARGERY S.
Why shouldn't you marry and
work together? Which matters more

extensive study of how the resources

The emergency program of the or

Of women under seven divisions which
include social and welfare, home eco

general service, signalling and map

COUNTY MAY ....

Important Meeting on Post
Roads Matters Here
Yesterday

A meeting of much Importance was
held here yesterday afternoon which
was attended by c. c. Cottrell, ]. E.
Smith and Robert Heaney OF the
State Highway Board.
If a proper showing can be made
this county will receive little over
fifty thousand dollars from the fed
eral government for the building of
post roads, and it has been proposed
10 build stretch of road from Carlin
Ia btko along the line OF the survey
from the west line of Lander county
10 that point. He has also laid out
a stretch from Loyelock twenty miles
east.
According to ruling of the attor.
ney general of the United States, any
road which is now being used or is
likely 10 be used as a post road comes
under the law providing for assistance
by the national government in road
building. and if the county highway
board will agree TO build a short
strip of road from point near Tonka
to the Bullian road, the road from
here TO Carlin will be brought into the
class which comes under the ruling.
There is little doubt that the county
highway board will consent TO this
arrangement, which will mean the
building of a boulevard from here 10
Carlin.

The chautauqua for 1917 il bring

fun. Among the funniest Of the fun
makers will be Ada Roach. whose
smile is as contagious as smallpox.

You'll get your moneys worth OF
laughs out OF these folks alone. But
there are others. too, and they all
like to see folks enjoy themselves.
Frank Ducrot. the magician, was
one time sitting In hotel dining
room eating dinner with one OF the
chautauqua boosters OF the town. Mr.
Booster had maryeled at Ducrot's
wonderful work on the platform and
finally said. MIR. Ducrot. suppose
you didn't have your materials
handy when man asked you to pro-
duce some OF those tricks you do
on the stage. What would you do?
Ducrot commepced to vaguely tell
how he would probably have to ap-
ologize for not being prepared. but
before he had comlpeted his little
story Mr.. Booster saw Ducrot reach
into his tthe chautauqua booster's)
pocket and pull out roses and ribbon
by the yard. Ducrot's friend decided
that II didn't make any difference
whether Ducrot was prepared or not
but was more mystified than ever
over his wonderful work.
Half ton OF harmony" might
well describe the Metropolitan Men

scales at almost that amount. For
