The Welsh MAN
BY BERToN BRALEY

BY BERT0N BRALEY.
The muddlers and dawdlers abhor him,
Aristocrats sneer at hts ways,
But commonplace mortals are for him
In these highly perilous days;
He doesn't dodge issues unpleasant,
His brain is alert and athrob,
And England is lucky at present
With Mr.. Lloyd George on the job!
The Asquiths may loudly attack him
For speaking plain language, fopsooth,
But wise folk will valiantly back him
For facing-and telling the truth;
He hasn't much time for illusion
He knows now dis-union plays hob,
And order will come from confusion
With Mr.. Lloyd George on the job!
Oh, thousands of soldiers lie huddled
On many battlefield, dead,
Because SNUG artstocrats muddled
And common-sense counsels had fled;
That must not again be the story
So down with the dolt and the snob.
Let England achieve her full glory
With Mr.. Lloyd George on the job!

MONEY, TROUBLRMAKER

MONEY, TROUBIlEtMAkEH
"She will not give him any
money" was the way Pat an
swered my explanation OF Alice's
efforts to help Harvey. He was
very stubborn, It seemed to me.
AS he repeated his objection to
his wffe's giving money to the
man whom she had once loved, 1t
came over me that the notion Of
Alice's wanting to make Harvey's
death-bed more comfortable did
not mean so much to Pat as her
giving him money.
Somehow the alacrity with
which Alice had proceeded to place
In Harvey's hands all the money
she had saved seemed to Pat
more of a declaration of devo-
tion and love than anything else
she had done or could do.
Little book, why will people
make such a fetch Of money?
Why is 1t that 1t seems to mean
everything to us?
Why does 1t stand above every
other standard when we measure
mankind?
oh, know, little book, that II
you could speak you would prob
ably say that / am wrong in de-
claring that we Judge everything
In the world from a money stand
ard, but l still am going to say to
you that I think we do. I hate
money!
Now, don't crinkle up your
pages as tho you were smiling as
you say to yourself that do not
know the want of money, and so
cannot understand the effect that
constant need of 1t has upon the
mind.
Perhaps do not know the want
of money, little book, not in the
way of being hungry and cold be-
cause of lack of money to buy food
and heat. But / have watched the
effect of money on people, and /
have seen it make many, many
people more and more disagree
able.
Money Is the easiest thing in
the world to give and yet most of
US make a great ado about giving
1t. We let money come between
us and those who love because we,
by some fortunate turn of circum-
stance have acquired a little more
or If we feel that we are perhaps a
greater success than they.
| l believe, little book, that more
marriages are made unhappy over
the question of money than any
other thing. Most women could
stand infidelity in their husbands
easier than they could stand the
constant recurrence of the ques-
ton of how and where the money
is spent that is grudgingly doled
out to them.
Now know that Pat does not
really care bit about that $4,000,
but somehow it seems to him that
the very fact that Alice is ready to
part with such big sum must per-
force Illustrate the wealth of her
interest In the person to whom
she gives II.
OF course, I did not think of
all this while / was talking to Pat
because J was trying to form some
arguments that would cause him to
talk the matter over with Alice. I
could not persuade him to do this,
and l only got him to say that I

Dear Miss Grey: When was
IA years old I married a man
that made me live in a mud hut
and my only company was
snakes and mice. When my baby
was born, he died with fits.
When / could stand it no longer
I ran away with another man.
We have always loved each
other. We have a child. That
was seven years ago. I came to
the United States four years ago
to get divorce; but l do not
know what to do. Do 1 have to
take papers out before can get
a divorce How long would I
have to stay single before I
could marry the man I am liv-
ing with? l hope you won't
turn me down, but will answer
at once. e. A. r.
Any person who has been q res
dent of this state for ono yea
may file complaint for divorce
You cannot re-marry In this stat,

famous man wrote an editorial for his paper
the other day, in which he said that the "big" man
Is hurried, never "busy," and that he doesn't
really work more than FOUR hours a day.
He has lots Of time to people, to play golf and
to spend his evening with family, he added.
Then we thought of Edison and some other fairly
sbg" men, who work FOURTEEN hours day,
who never play golf, and who rarely at home.
And they to need all the time they can get to
put across the great plans upon which they are
working.
1t isn't at all likely that the men who need to
work only four hours day on their present jobs
always had so much leisure tine-they probably
worked IA hours day at FIRST-and that's why
they need to work only four hours TODAY.
Anyway, to be really big and successful isn't at
all question of the number of hours man works
its how he regulates his working time and what
he does with it.
Here are some rules which may help you to make
good:
Write out the details of your plan until you
are thoroy familiar with it.
Have others criticise it, but don't be too east
ly swayed by their arguments.
Put your plan to work. and keep it in opera
ton
Be ready to change it with added experience.
These simple rules but they are so general
that anyone can follow them-no matter what his
jobmay be-

many traders expressed the belief that this
would represent probably two-thirds of the
entire crop
Rumors were current that foreign vessels
were beginning to appear in the costwise
trade. Shippers Of cotton asserted that It
was next to impossible to obtain any space
