The next summer they haQ their va
cation at the same time. They met
again at seaside resort. The moon,
light aights helped lot. and before
they had been there fortnight they
had decided that they couldn't very
well get along without one another
Their happiness was brought to an
abrupt ending when Tommy was sent
for to take position he had applied
for in the North. It meant a much
larger salary, he explained to Mar
garet, and would be quite comfort
able one for two. Margaret had had a
strenuous, nerve-racking winter; so
had been granted a two months vaca-
ton. Tommy promised to write regu-
larly to her beach address. When no
letters came the first week Margaret
supposed the position was a little
harder than he had anticipated, and
that he was probably too busy getting
things in shape to write letters. She
wrote him every day. As the days
grew into weeks and no letters came.
she realized that she was waiting in
vain. 1t took long time to become
reconciled to the thought that he
wasn't going to write and hadn't been
sincere. She did not stay out her full
time at the seashore, but returned to
her work.
Margaret couldn't help running this
all over in her mind as she worked.
1t dawned upon her that she was
doing Just what she had come to
Wattsville to avoid Could she never
forget, she wondered!

Mcleod are thoroughly familiar with
every blade of grass on the Columbia
course and can be counted upon to
turn this knowledge to their advan-
tage. Reid and Barnes played in the

army CIRCLES GUESSING
over STAFF SELECTION
Gossip at Fever Stage Regarding
Probable Choice of Chief to Fill
Vacancy Since September %.

Army gossip is at the fever stage
regarding the Office of assistant chief
Of staff. That office has been vacant
since September 90. when Maj. Gen.
Hugh L. Scott retired and Gen. Tasller
n. Bliss, then assistant chief of staff
was made chief of staff, and by virtue
Of that fact became the senior officer
0f the Army. with the new rank of
general.
Interest in the selection of the officer
TO I'LL the Office of assistant chief of
sta6 is due especially to the general
belief that that officer will become
chief OF staff and the virtual head of
the Army when Gen. Bliss retires for
kaEe in December
What adds piouancy to the gossip is
the fact that the Secretary of War
has settled several things respecting
the prospective appointment. but is
Keeping them entirely to himself until
he Is ready to announce the appoint
ment.
Naturally there are all sorts of rumors
regarding the situation. One generally
accepted as most plausible is that the
Omcer tentatively chosen for the new
honors is now with Gen. Pershing's s
forces in France, but has not indicated
his acceptance of the appci- tment. An
other rumor is that the Secretary has
left the selection to the ma jority vote
Army, including those now in France,
and that no agreement has been
reached.
Two Mentioned for Place.
But for the belief that Gen. Pershing
can render more valuable services in
actual command OF the American troops
in France. 1t is said. he might be
brought to Washington for service as
chief of stan. That being regarded as
extremely improbable. however. the
impression prevails to general ex-
assistant chief of staff and the early
prospective vacancy in the Office of
chief of stan will be filled either by
Gen. Hunter Liggett or Gen John F.
generals in the Regular Army Those
omcers have been in France for several
months engaged in making a special
study Of the military situation in
Europe. with particular references to
the part to be played by the large
American Army being modified in
France. They are not on duty with
troops. like Gen. Pershing and Gen.
-0tbert. his chief assistant. but are max :
ing observations for the special benefit
Of the authorities at Washington.
Both officers stand high in their pro-
1esefOn and are said to be men OF ex-
celent judgment and discretion. II is
on account of their special fitness for
mentioned by the military gossips
whenever the matter is under discus
eion- But the fact of the matter is
that the gossips have no actual knowl-
edge on the subject and base most OF
their speculations on the tip" said to
come from the inside that the new
chief of staff is in France and his APP
pointment will prove a great surprise.

POOR AS WELL AS RICH
SHOULD PURCHASE BONDS

'The one paramount duty of
every American at the present
time is to stand behind the Presi-
dent and Congress and support
anything and everything our gov
ernment does in this war.
THE bond issue should not be
absorbed entirely by the men of
wealth and large financiers. but
the man of small means should
also subscribe. It would be very
unfortunate II the idea got
abroad that the people Of this
country did not support the issue
a O whole, and that 1t was sub
scribed to entirely by very
small fraction of the population.
Certainly II men are willing to
give their lives upon the coun-
try's altar. those who r.main at
homo should be wiling to lay
their money freely on the same
altar. We ought to be very lib
eral in the amount of money we
