Hope On! Help On!

Hope on! Hope ever!'' reads an ancient cross
stitched bookmark which two sisters discovered
the other day in their great-grandmother hair
trunk.
.'Hope on, hope ever" repeated the older girl.
"Sounds so old-fashioned."
"Cant be-" said the other. Remember hope
springs ETERNAL in the human breast"
"Maybe so. But we don't live by it. Nova
days we go after what we want, and we go hard,
or the other fellow will beat us to it. Just hoping
seems like expecting things to come our way if
we sit still and wait. Lots of people do that It's
optimism plus I'd rather be hopeless pessi-

''Why not be little of both?" suggested the
younger girl "For fair compromise why not try
"help on, help ever'9"
And why not?

Here is a new job for men-and women, too.
Governor James M Cox of Ohio, has ANNOUNCE
ed he will put farm tractors to work in every
munity in the state-On experiment farms, etc.
to encourage farmers to use them. He considers
- this is patriotic duty.
Fred.C. Croxton, the "Hoover of Ohio" is max
ing TRACTOR survey" of the state. Then he will
go ahead spreading tractor information
Both Governor Cox and Hoover CroXtOn say
farmers must put the tractor to work-if the
world is to have enough to eat; if are to win
the war
Other states are bound to follow Ohio, which
thus has the honor of being the pioneer in estate
owned farm tractors
Canada began it months ago.
And So young men, and old men, and women,
and girls-and even chidren-begin at once to
make yourself tractorwise, for it is going to be
one of the country's greatest industries.
Tractioneering is going to be better job than
chauffering.

Dear Cynthia Grey: want
to endorse recent letter sign
ed mot an l. w. w. nor Pro-
German" The letter gives q
true explanation of the feel
ings of most housewives who
ISLAM doors" in the faces of
those going around soliciting
for the Red Cross and Hoover
signers. / with them feel that
the necessity hasn't arisen for
the demands made upon us--or
at least they see in SO many
instances where 1t Is thrown
away. Just as an example:
The soldiers sent from Califor-
MIA to Camp Lewis were each
supplied with lunch boxes by
patriotic, tho misguided, wom-
en- at different stations en-
route. And most of them
were found scattered broad
cast thru the coach seats and
floors. Some were left in the
coaches unopened. Enough
food was wasted in this man
ner to keep several families a
week, while those soldiers
bought luxuries and had lark
generally on their own money.
The soldiers who are training
now are not at all destitute.
When they are, they will GER
tainly get all the supplies we
mothers and housewives can
possibly send them.
AS for Hooverizing, I think
I've been doing that most of
my married life, and l for one
do not intend to do any more
until we each and all are go
ing without the same things.
Why ask part OF us to save
supplies and make more plen-
tiful for the rest? II go with
out sugar on my breakfast
food, won't Mr.. Millionaire
have twice as much? Those
things must be equalized before
it will be supported by all.
notice the lodges and clubs
still give their big banquets
and society ladies' still enter
tain and incidentally eat too
much for any normal stomach.

Answers

Dear Miss Grey: I am seek
ing information regarding the
present draft law. Does 1t ex-
empt foreigners without pa
pers? Constitutionally can they
Danish them from the country,
or make them go into the army?

ports. but 1t is not quite clear.
A READER.
The present draft law exempts
foreigners without papers. Any
alien enemy may be banished from
the country. They cannOt be COM
PEELED to serve In the army Innder
present laws.
Dear Miss Grey: Seven years
ago / left my regular dentist
and did not pay my bill In full.
l thought he overcharged me.
But when I went to others /

to go back and pay him what
I owe. but feel very awkward
about 1t. What would you ad-
wise me to do? PEG.
Your awkwardness will leave
you as soon as you face the man
