1t, But 1t has affected this little girl
much more deeply, and probably for
these reasons:
when she first put them on, possi-
bly, some kind friends told her how eX-
tremely unbecoming they were, merely
because they were not usedeato seeing
her wear them; Their the Moughtless
and M-mannered made some jokes
about them. The girl was more sensi-
tive to suggestion than they knew, and
these things made a deep impression
on her.
"A seed was planted in her subjective
mind which took root and grew rapidly.
The popularity Of the subjective mind

10 matter what II Is, and works It out
to lts unerringly logical conclusion, In
this case the premise given 1t was that
the glasses were hideous and unbecom-
ing and made the wearer ridiculous In
the eyes Of her friends. She became
convinced of this fact and the result
Is that she will not appear in company
and spends many sleepless nights oil

But, to speak directly to the writer
Of this letter, 1t Is another law OF the

Senator. James Hamilton Lewis on Thursday introduced in
the senate a resolution expressing confidence in whatever course
the president may take in dealing with Germany and Austria.
Senator Lewis is always bent upon doing the correct, the
eXSquisitely handsome thing after the most approved method OF a
Chesterfield, Aside from the personal compliment implied in
the resolution it has no especial significance.
The president, the senate and the people Of the United
States are OF the same mind, and they are in full accord with
the ideals and purposes of the allies. The president has lusti-
lied himself in the estimation of the people. He has stood like
a stone wall, and the world knows now what he meant by
war to the utmost"
London says there were some misgiNings on the subject of
ms last note, but 1t shattered every doubt. The atmosphere
IS clear now and we know what is expected of every soldier and
every CIVILIAN in this country, and Germany knows what she NAV
expect from us. WV ""'
Inc country at large has gone on record viii its vote OF
Sonildence IN the president, and the senate has given better
evidence OF its stand with the chief executive than mere words
can express by passing every war and administration measure
that has been proposed to the congress, After all. that is the
best test.

WINTER

The frost has not yet come, and the weeds and grasses are
still green and nourshing, These should be gathered and laid
up for winter fodder for stock. No matter how scant and
unpromising the crop may be, a little may be gathered from
each field and fence corner, and these Titles, when aggregated,
will make a great deal. Stock fodder will be scarce this winter,
and II it should be severe stock will suffer. The ordinary
supply OF hay will have to go to feed cavalry horses here and
on the other side of the ocean, and while the substitutes men
toned are not as good they are better than nothing, and will
be a great help in sustaining stock during the rigors OF winter
No more useful or valuable service can be rendered the country
at this time than in gathering fodder for the winter; it means
the w%ellbeing and perhaps the life OF domestic animals, There
is plenty of it going to waste.
