Congress finds much time to talk of ''shoes and
ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings" but
it has thus far quite forgotten the serious plight in
which the draft has placed thousands of citizens.
There are men at Camp Lewis and every other
cantonment in the United States who have no legal
claim to exemption, perhaps because they were
married after May Is, or because their wives have
separate incomes sufficient to support them, who
have lost or who stand to lose their homes or their
farms or their stock because there is law to give
them immunity during the war from the debts and
obligations they contracted before the government
placed them in uniform and reduced their earnings.
England had moratorium almost before the
declaration of war. In France when place their
lives at the disposal of their flag the loan shark and
the installment man cannot fleece them
Germany capably protects her soldiers and en-
deavors to maintain their homes while they fight.
Oh Lord How Long!

Work VS.. Thought

According to Swiss papers received in this eoun-
try the authorities in Germany are taking steps
to provide plenty of work for all females from 16
to 20 years of age. It's preventive of suicide,
the idea being that, when woman is hauling
pillow, or digging potatoes or at other hard manual
labor she gets so tired that she goes right to sleep
at night and does not lie awake thinking about how
her father, husband, son brother has been blown
to pieces and buried in obedience to the kaiser.
In Prussia, Westphalia, Saxony and Bavaria the
number of suicides in 1917 increased by 16 per cent
oyer previous years. and rs per cent of the suicides
we're women. The thing is alarming to the German
autocrats, for they cannot breed soldiers without
women. Indeed, it is blow at autocracy 8 princi-
pal valuation of women. Maybe if German women

Dear Miss Grey: have
been engaged to a man for a
long time. Thru difficulties
with his and my relatives, we
have postponed our marriage
from time to time. Now, tho
l see no reason why we should
not marry, he never mentions
the matter any more. Lately
he goes around riding with an
other girl and / am sure he
goes to see her. Often when I
ask him to come over he says
he doesn't know whether he
can or not. / get ready for him
and when he doesn't come / cry
myself to sleep and am sick the
next day. l am so discour-
aged and disguised that / feel
like ending it all. What shall
| do? E. E.
Such q state of affairs often
results from a long and indefinite
period of engagement. But this
is not the time for you to become
and Disguised. 1t is
not the time TO worry and grieye
and make yourself unsigttly; But
1t is the time for you to study the
situation thoroly and to act. II
you really care for this man, then
put forth every effort 70 make
him enjoy your society more thar
ever before. Win back his stray
ing affections and set the date fol
your marriage. But IL You fee
that you are growing apart thr1
incompafibiiity or IL you dOuh
your love or hrs, then talk tn
matter over with him, explail
your stand and break the engage
ment. A definite understanding
is the only solution to your diff
culties.

Predicts Future For
Representative Sanders

Representative Decker of Mis-
souri,, who stands an authority
on transportation matters, be-
lieves that the committee on in.
terstate and foreign commerce
secured a valuable addition when
Representative Sanders of the
Sixth Louisiana District was
added to it's membership.
Speaking in the House, he re.
ferred in a complimentary man
ner to Mr.. Sanders speech on
the Esch amendment to the rail
road bill and added that there
is no ADLER man on the committee
on interstate and foreign CON-
MERGE. In my judgement, it will
not be long before he will be re-
cognized as one of the ablest in
the legislative body"
An extract from Mr.. Sanders
remarks, which provoked the
compliment, is as follows:
Il contend that every single,
solitary mile Of rail in the United
States is a component part Of
our transportation system. Ev-
cry little road. no matter where
that road is situated, no matter
what it hauls, every road in
America is today hauling war

are fought by a people organized

wheat, hauls war material, and
the little road that hauls lumber
hauls war material, and every
one of these lines today transport
