GA week is long time for a man
TO Nope around alone. -
Ruth thought, with quick stab, that
when she was away before, he didn t do
much "moping around alone" She sup
posed she should tell him that 1t WASH t
necessary, that he had friends he could
be with. But she could not bring her
self to say it.
. 1t will soon pass, DEAR
=" Yes-with you. Living in swell ho-
tells, living on the fat of the land"
"Oh, Brian! As if that counted. Why,
dear, 1 had rather have a meal here
with you than anywhere else in the
world"
"Tell that to the marinesl If you did
you would" he said in peeved tone.
Ruth burst out laughing in spite of
her vexation. "I&you did, you would, :"
she repeated, "Oh, Brian!"
"Well, l mean it," yet he smiled
with her at the expression he had used
"When are you goinga"
Tomorrow afternoon.
els Mandel going9" his face dark
with Jealousy.
No, indeed! he trusts me to attend
to the work alone. 1t is a great compli-
ment, Brian-I wish you felt different
ly about il" This last she said visit
fully.
/" Well, l don t and never will! / ex-
pect, now, all the people who know me
say | can't support You, or that you are
supporting me-"
"Oh, Brian! You are too ridiculous,
The women are all envying me, because
7 am able to do something; and say
YOU should be proud Of me. Why Brian,
lots and lots of women whose hus-
band S are richer than you are have
gone into business"
"That's just the rubl If 1 were
rich as you say, you could do what
you pleased and no one would think
anything about it. But I'm notl and
all my friends know it. So Of course
they think | am poor, good-for-noth-
ing sort who can't get along. So you
have to help" His face grew darker,
his seawl deeper, as he talked Ruth saw
he was working himself into a ferment
50 she changed the subject by asking
him if he knew the people across the
hall.
:" They are such nice looking couple,
Just about our age. The man looks very
pleasant; and she is so pretty"
"No-haven't It noticed them," Brian
growled.
81 hope they win call. should like
to know some nice people"
Don t call my friends mice, y sup
pose" still holding his crouch.
"Of course dol haven't met one
who wasn't, unless it was that queer
Claude Becky; and suppose he is all
right only never met any one quite
like him before.n
! Yes, Claude's all right enough. I'm
tired. I'm going to bed. "
"IIl come presently. have to pack
my bag. "
"0f course! always something to DO
about that d-busine :" Brian dis
tinetly slammed the bathroom door.
When Ruth packed her bag a few
hot tears fell on to the dainty lin
gcree.
Is he always going to he cross about

900 crop as result of a freak rain
and electrical storm which started
shortly after sunset last might and
early today was continuing spasmOd-

Z" Unsettled weather." was the fore
cast which heralded the approach of the
storm and the same prediction stood
for today.

The insncerty of Chancellor Hertlings statement to
the effect that he is ready for peace based on the four
teen principles laid down by President Wilson is evident
in many places For instance in trying to boost the Ger
morale he says Eve have peace with Rumania and
Russia" This is he knows lie made of whole cloth
Germany has no peace with Russia but an enforced
treaty made with German agents at present in control of
affairs at Petrograd and Moscow but who in no

General Pershing sent the American boys against
the enemy yestrday and front of twenty miles an
advance of seven miles was made This is encouraging
especially when taken in connection with the attack Of
the enemy yesterday and over front OF twenty miles an
looked as though the armies going to dig in and that
another winter of inactivity to follow. Apparently
hre is now no danger Of this but that instead Foch In
tends to keep at it all winter and not allow the enemy

Germany is peeved because the ne wgovenment Of
Lthuania selected king without asking Gemanys ad-
vice about H. Duke Won Urach was selected for the
doubtful honor and no doubt the kaiser and his bunch
had member of the Hohenzoern family picked out for
the place Because Of this action Prussia has issued
note declaring Lhuana had no right to act that way
without learning Of the fall styles in kings made by fash
ion experts in Potsdam If anything was needed to DEM
onstrate the amount Of liberty the small buffer states
Germany would build up around her would have with
Germany in full power this unwarranted interference

Keep the Home
Business Booming

Just at this time there are many in
dividualistic ideas placed before the public
that we feel constrained to use this space
generally devoted to our weekly business
news to little thought on the matter of the
war relation to our business, applicable of
course to every other business where the
exchange of money for commodities is con-
cerned.
We sing "Keep The Home Fires Burn
ing, but possibly fail to attach the proper
significance to our words in relation to the
kindred thought: keep the Home Business
Booming"
One man will argue that buying ought
to cease while given arts and sciences of
war be pushed to theiI limit That all but
business activities ought to cease. But has
such argument any grounds for application?
But recently one of the cOuntry's lar
gest papers commented editOrially On the
thought: "What Constitutes NOn-Essential
Business"
One of the supposedly nOn-essential
items (Musical instruments and Music in
generaD was discussed at length. No. We
cannot stop production of those articles
that go to relieve mental strain at this time.
The matter of jewelry as a non-essen-
tial brought out the fact that the manufac-
turing elements were now busy in produc-
ton of wrist-watches and many like items
OF use to the boys at the front.
Automobiles came in for discussion and
it was shown that the automobile saved and
is saving civilization from the hands of the
(kultur) fate, statistically pointing to the
maximum of commercial vehicles. We can
not eliminate automobiles.
And so on down through long list of
supposedly nOn-essentials we find that it is
not the best plan to decry the manufacture
of product until the facts are fully known.
The same argument holds good in the
selling end.
Money must circulate Business must
be better than ever before in the history of
the nation if the ends of the government are
to be thoroughly served.
The President has said that we should
spend wisely and it is for the individual to
determine what constitutes wise buying af-
ter careful investigation of the merits and
not on snap or surface judgment.
Home business must boom if the gov
ernment's plan is to be the most effective.
The boarding of money and supplies is un-
patriotic. Our duty is plain.
