NEWSPAPERS SERVE
THE GOVERNMENT

When the big government lottery
made the choice of soldiers from
ten million men, and decided who
should go first, the press of the coun-
try took up the call by wire and put
an army of clerks to work applying
the chosen numbers according to the
rule of their application to the indi-
viduals, and named those who were
chosen in the respective districts.
1t was big job, taking each num-
Der as 1t came over the wires, and
finding the man it applied to. One
would expect to find many errors in
such transmital Of information, but
when the official copy of the master
list reached Blackfoot from Washing
ton, and it was compared with the
list published in The Republican
promptly after the drawing, only half
a dozen mistakes appeared out OF
upwards of 800 calls, and with such
corrections the original publication
was the correct call to arms. And

Someone told me of most inter- esting experiment the other day.
 We were talking about the extra ordinarily large wages demanded and received,-by girls who do house work.
 One woman told of friend who pays eight dollars for a maid for her self and husband. They have small new house and they are away to meals about quarter of the time.
 Another told of a family of two where the maid received six dollars a week though the family were away put out and the woman even offered to have the cleaning done.
 Twenty-One Dollars q Week For
 Housework.

 When one realizes that no voca- tional training is required and that the wages are not affected by the high cost of living, since living is includ-
 
 these wages mean.
 And yet girls prefer to go into shops and factories and telephone ex- changes where they sometimes get barely living wage! Why is it?

 No one can surely know, but the experiment. of which I started to tell you is an index finger pointing to one reason.

At three o'clock she goes. The family put the supper on the table themsel> es, clear it away and put the dishes to soak.

That his wife thor oughly understood and maliciously en- loved his feeling l could tell by the quiet smile that hovered around her lips when her husband was especially vehement in his denunciation of the absent woman
 Wont that Jezebel smell a rat when she comes back and finds you folks here instead of in the cala boo ose where she meant you to spend the night?' he demanded at a pause in the discussion, and his wife's lips were not the only ones that twitched at the epithet.

 ''Why let her find them here?' his wife asked quietly.

A STORY BEGIN AT ANY TIME Her Side---and His BECKLEY
The Outlet.
By ZOE BECKLEY

TO quarrel or not to quarrel ? .. That is the question in married life, which clamors to be answered and never will be. The easier way is to say With the careless thinker, "Never quarrel! But quarrel is not the cause of martial unhappiness so much as the effect. It is the natural outlet for an inner clash. Stop its outlet and the sore may fester and take some other and more dangerous escape ment.
 Janet was both exasperated and de- pressed at Waits refusal to write the serial story for Roy Nicoll! It seemed to her there were a. million crying needs for him to do it; and not one real reason against it. The lowering of his little bank reserve: the monot- onous rejections of his work by edi- tors and play managers, with their chorus of ::This Is fine and strong, but not for the popular taste;" the lean, famished look on his face from over- work and undernourishment of the spirit-all these harassed Janet even more than they did Walt, and made Roy Nicol's offer loom in greater splendor. But she bit back every word of disapproval at his course. She felt he had enough to bear.
 But if she succeeded in suppressing her fault-f1nding with what seemed to her his stubborn refusal, she could not find the spirit to praise and en- courage him in everything hc did, as she used to do. Had he only spoken out, he would have met her com plaints with a host of good reasons why he could not accept Nicolls prop osition. Quarrels. misunderstanding would perhaps have arisen. But they might have cleared the air; at any rate. the tension would not have sought another outlet.
 Nor was the tension only between Walt and Janet Walt himself had daily to fight within himself all that Janet believed. That he no longer had Janet's outspoken and inspiriting encouragement to hearten him was a great loss and taxed his strength the harder. He lived mostly on his cour- age these days and Janet's cheer was sorely need nourishment.
 One evening, when he found work i'm possible and Janet was at the office working overtime on her magazine. Walt went to the Lafayette for a
