WHAT A RAILROAD MERGER
MEANS.

BRICE CLAGETT, private secre.

Railroads, showed me a photograph
of a fifteen-car solid express train
pulling out. of Kansas City;
The picture carries an obvious
lesson to this city and nation IN
showing what a merger OF express
companies has done. Solid express
trains are becoming frequent. This
is an example of the saving OF man

through consolidation. Formerly
the business was divided between
three or four companies with many
men doing what one now does

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Tomorrow should mean more to the
people of the United States than any
previous Thanksgiving Day in the
country's history. Never before was
there so much for which to feel
thankful. Our blessings are great.
and are especially manifest when we
compare our situation with the con-
ditions of a large number of the ma
tions of the earth.
With the other peoples we have
cause to be thankful that the end OF
the worlds most terrible war has
come; that the destruction of militar-
ism, for which we entered the con-
fliot, is about to be realized; that a
peace. not of vengeance but Of JUS
tice, is to be consummated.
On our own account we should be
thankful: That our land has been free
from the ravages of war; that we have
not had to pay a terrible price in loss
of precious lives; that brave soldiers
and sailors will come back proud to
have had part in freeing oppressed
races; that we are. and always have
been, q free people; that revolution,
which has almost destroyed Russia
and now ravages other lands. has no
occasion to raise its threatening hand
here: that the nation has shown itself
sound at heart.

There appears to be no reason for
thinking that any people in the world
need suffer for food If ships become
available for transportation purposes.
1t has become known that the alleged
food shortage in Germany is largely
mythical. Supplies of grain in eleva-
tors in this country which will be
available to meet our. own needs as
well as to aid Europe are far greater
than they were a year ago. Director
General McAdoo has made public a
report from the operating division of
the railroad administration showing
that on November 9 there was on hand
in the primary elevators 114,041,O00
bushels of grain, as compared with
1885, 900 bushels on the correspond
ing day in 1917. There were $751;
900 bushels of corn in the elevators on
November 9. as compared with $4,000
bushels a year ago; 9s.433,000 BUSH

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 20 years
old. When / was 20 yeara old 1 be-
came engaged to a young man 22.s We
loved each other very much and he al
ways kissed me goodnight. We were
intending to marry, but when America
declared war he volunteered. My
people ali said he didn't really love lie
or he wouldn't have gone. He wro.e
to me regularly while at camp, but af-
ter he went to France / waited and
waited to hear from him, but word
never came.
One night at a dance I met another
young man and fell in love with him
at first sight. He called on me and
became engaged to him. He gave me
a beautiful diamond ring and then
when we were about to marry he was
drafted. 1 never told him of my first
thing of the past.
I heard from this fellow until he
went across, but have not heard from
him since.
One day 1 met another fellow who
worked in the depot. We became en-
engagements to him. He thought my
father gave me the diamond ring SO
he bought me another. We were PLAN
ming to get married right away. A few
days ago 1 received letter from the
boy who went to France first. He said
whole world.
Now I am puzzled. I still love the
ones "over there and the fellow in
the depot, too. Which one should I
marry? / think any Of them could
make me happy. JANE.
You are not enough in love with
anyone to marry. Since you think
any one OF the three could make you
happy. you may be sure that you would
not be happy with any one of them.
because your love is too general. Your
first promise should have more weight
than either Of the others. in case you
care as much for that man as the other
two.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
20 years old. am very fond of
dancing. but my father objects to it.
I cannot give up dancing. SO what am
to do? BILL.
Dancing is not wrong for you since
YOU feel in your own heart that 1t Is
good. If you live at home. however.
you should respect your fathers
wishes and seek amusement in other
sports.
