"Will five dollars be enough?" in

Prudence was silent for several long
seconds. Then she inquired in a low
voice, Did you tell him why you want

"Yes, explained the whole situa

what did he say?
"He said he knew just how 1 felt

that myself, but he agreed with me. He
did not say very much, but he looked
sympathetic. He said he anticipated

dead set against borrowing. After
our mother was taken, we were crowd

to go in debt. 1t took us two years to
get it paid. Father and Fairy and ]
talked it over then, and decided we
would starve rather than borrow again,
Even the twins understood it, but Con-
ME was too little. She doesn't know
how heartbreaking it is TO keep hand

is just yearning for other things. / do

Mr.. Harold shook his head. mo,
Connie must have her coat. This will
be a good lesson for her. 1t will teach
her the bitterness of living under debt
Besides, Prudence, think in my heart
that she is right this time. This Is q
case where borrowing is justified. Get
her the coat, and I'll square the ac-
count with your father" Then he
added, "And I'll look after this salary

tragedy. 1t is a play of deep love,

My COuntry-Rfght or Wrong!
III Right to BE Kept Right;
III Wrong to BE Set Right. -Schurz
WHAT WILL THE ANSWER BE?

The battle challenge has been flung
in the teeth of this nation by imperial
Germany.
The Antilles flying the American
flag, carrying American soldiers and
sailors, wearing the American uni
form was treacherously struck from
concealment, rent in twain by tor
pedo, and American land and sea
fighters have been hurled to watery
grave with no opportunity of de-
tense against their unseen foe.
Imperial Germany are rejoicing,
with exceeding great joy that they
have drawn the first blood, in the
conflict and they have, but it is the
blood of massacre. This action is a
challenge to Columbia, not the bold
challenge of chivalry but the bastard
ly defiance of treacherous savagery
where the challenger strikes from am
bush without danger to himself; the
attack of serpent safely hidden.
LaFollette warfare, where the battler
damages but does not dare.
Imperialism has sown the seeds of
black flag battle and what shall the
harvest be? Let the great loyal
heart of America make reply. Let
the answer to this barbaric defiance
be men, money, aeros,anes and ships
of war in such countless numbers as
will bring an end to this war that
envelopes even gentle women and in
nocent kiddies in the meshes of des-
truction and bring peace, a peace that
will make sea-murder and land-mur-
der impossible, even under the guise
of military necessity.
