:: THE WIFE ::
By JANE PHELPS

GIVE got some news for you, Bri-
an, y she could wait no longer.
"You've decided to behave yourself
and stay at home where you belong?''
he asked, his mouth full of steak.
"No-nothing like that Oh, Brian

there a month, and what do you think

ary,' she went on, not waiting for
an answer, mot only raised it, but

can do!-why, Brian-aren't YOU
pleased!'' the sc0wl on his face had
quelled her enthusiasm altho she didn't
understand it.
"Pleaseds No! the place for a wo.
man is in her own home" and, push
ing his plate away, his dinner half
finished, he went into the little bed.
room and closed the door.
Ruth sat looking after him, abso-
lutcly stunned. She had thought he
would be so pleased. What could it BET
Her lips quivered, her eyes filled, and
she too pushed her plate away.
Suddenly she realized that the very
thing which had delighted her-the
raise-had been unwelcome to Brian.
That it was more than he earned,
and so hurt his pride.
Ruth dried her eyes, and, leaning
her elbows on the table, her chin in
her cupped hands, she tried to think
what she should do, and what she
should say to Brian.
"Such a foolish boyl she muttered
with a half smile. Yet in spite of
the smile, she felt a resentment to-
ward Brian. He would rather she wash
ed dishes and did other uneongenial
work for nothing, than to earn money
enough to hire that work done, and
give them something extra for other
things that they couldn't possibly at
ford unless she earned it.
1t was the only possible solution of
Brian's actions, Should she follow
him into the other room and coax
him back to good nature, or should
she let him fight it out alone2 She
decided on the latter course. From
what Mr.. Mandel had said, she would
be entitled to another raise as soon
as she had mastered the details of
the business; and if she soothed and

No Polk Fair In 1919.

AT a recent meeting of the executive
board of the Polk County Fair associa-
ton it was practically. decided to hold
no fair in the county in 1919 unless
war conditions change materially. The
reason given for the decision is that
the gathering and raising of produce
for exhibition at the fairs takes val
liable time from war activity work
where it is needed more than the fair
it. Several of the counties Of the state
have already signified their intentions
of doing away with their fairs until
after the war and Polk county is fol
lowing closely in their line.

SUCH MEN ARE IN
COMPETENT

.Gx ERMAN judgment on big
O subjects is not equal to
German efficiency in the
matter of detailed work.
This is a truth that has been
apparent throughout the war.
II is something that has count
ed heavily against Germany
and will eventually take that
nation down to defeat.
First the Germans erred in
their "uber allies" idea and the
notion they could conquer the
world by the sword.
They erred in taking up a
policy of frightfulness. Instead
of intimidatng the world it
has incensed all civilized ma
tions and multiplied Germany's
enemies.
The Germans erred in fore
ing the United States into the
war. They erred in thinking
this country would not become
a big factor in the struggle.

SUBSCRIPTION RAxRa
uN ADVANCE,

They erred in thinking the
German people living in-Amer.
lea would start a revolt. They
erred in thinking they could
win the war by the submarines,
in six months time. 1t is also
apparent that they erred in
thinking they could drive
through the allied lines to vic.
tory this spring. They have
suffered terrible losses and
gained no important objectives,
The Germans are very ca
pable in some lines of endea-
vor. But in world affairs they
have overestimated. They
have been too smart. Their
egotism has been their undoing.
They have given no proper
consideration to the rights of
others nor to the strength of
other peoples. Efficiency that
does that ceases to be effici-
ency. It is iRcompetency and
German leaders have this vari-
ETY. of incompetency in a strong
degree.
/ If you have the idea that the
German leaders are wise men,
with reference to big world
affairs and war directing, for
get it. They are the worlds
prize boneheads.

Washington, Sept 11--With minor amendments the bill providing gov ernment stimulation of production and distribution of minerals needed in the prosecution of the war, was passeI today by the senate without a record vote. 4 similar measure has passed the house and differences now will be adjusted in conference.

 The defence presented no evidence and no argument save that presented by the defendant himself. Four times candidate of his party for president, and famous ss the most eloquent Of its orators. Debs expended his elo- queuce in admitting every fact al iesed by the government, even de- clining to repudiate the rabidly anti war programme of the socialists adopted at St. Louis He pleaded only that the constitution guarantees the right of free speech. His attor- neys, Seymour Stedman. William Gun req, Joseph Sharts and Morris NJ. Wolf. sat quietly as spectators while the tall gaunt defendant whose worn gray suit hung loosely from his angu- lar frame. declared his willingness to die in prison for the principles Of so- ciaiism to which he has devoted his life.
 Judge Westenhavener's court was packed with spectators, mostly stand ing up the better to see and hear. At the opening of court tomorrow the judge will charge the jury which will then retire to consider a verdict
 During the forenoon the govern ment completed the presentation of its case and argument was opened by Assistant United States District At ierney Joseph A. Breitenstein, Debs spoke at the opening of the afternoon session and District Attorney Edwin s Wertz closed.
 Debs' speech. he said, was a coTn- piete confession. It was a confession not only that he opposed all wars, but that he actively opposed this one and the machinery by which it is prose- ruted. The district attorney traced the careful wording of the defend ants speech at Canton Ohio, on June IS which led to his indictment, to his outspoken declarations of the St Louis And-War programme.
