I'm really worried about Miss Eus- tacia," Mrs. JessuD declared. "Of course everyone knows that it was hard for her to lose her savings and go into the home, but the hOme's pleas ant, and she has big room all to her self; and we are always sending her things or inviting her round to tea to show that sine isn't left out; yet she goes round with face as long as my arm, and the tears come into her eyes If you look at her. Really. I'm almost out of patience. l wouldn't have be- lieved it of Miss Eustacia."
 Mrs. Crane looked out into the yard. She was plump little woman with tender, luminous brown eyes that had way of seeing far into the heart at times.
 What pretty little tea parties Miss 'Stacia used to give she said musing- ly. "She made a different feel about them somehow"
 Il know it." Mrs. JeSsup agreed. "T don't know exactly why, unless be- cause she was so happy over them her self that she made everyone else feel the same way"
 And how many summers was it that she took to her home little fresh-air girl?" asked Mrs. Crane. with an air of innocent reminscence. Last time 1t was q mother and sick baby, wasn't it?"
 T guess 1t must be full as much as fifteen. l hadn't thought of that be- fore, but l suppose she does miss thatl"
 Mrs. Crane's soft eyes shone with sudden passion.
 Miss them? Things like that-giv- ing things-were her life, Ellen Jes- sup! Do you suppose that being ln- Nited to tea and having flowers carried to her are going to make up to Miss 'Stncia for having nothing to glve?"
 "But-she hasn't anything we want! Mrs. Jessup said bewilderdly.
 Exactly. That's what's breaking her heart"
 But you cant make yourself want things when you don't" Mrs. Jessup argued.
 "I suppose not" Mrs. Crane said With sieh. Well, l must be going along. Run over soon, Ellen"
 At the turn of the road Mrs. Crane met Lauretta King. The girl nodded with sullen brows. Mrs. Crane stop ped.

 No. mamma, I don't have any drill ingn to do, and I'm rather glad of it. I may have to drill some day, but if l should I will do it as cheerfully as if I were sitting down to a six o'clock dinner. I'm in this war to do my part, whatever that may be, and to do it willingly and gladly. If I am given disagreeable job to do, l will do it with the feeling that it is for Uncle Sam and Liberty, and also with the ceiling that by doing it myself I'm saving some other fellow from having 1t to do, and the disagreeableness of t will thereby be removed. However, I haven't conie in contact with any thing disagreeable yet.

HERE IS AN ARTICLE
 WORTH READING

You do just four things: you think, you remember, you imagine, you act. When you learn to think better, re- member better, imagine better or act better, you increase your efficiency, and, therefore, your income. Perhaps you are very successful now, but of how much benefit will practical busi- ness education be to you. You will agree with us that to violate a part of the laws of business means partial failure, and to violate all the laws means complete failure. You are also aware that to observe part of the laws of business means partial success, and to observe all the laws means com plete success. Our aim is to help you observe higher per cent of the laws of business success. The late Prof. James of Harvard, declares that the average man uses only ten per cent of his brain power. Suppose you are twice as capable as the average man? Even that would mean you are only twenty per cent of your maximum possibilities. The purpose of our course is to produce a greater effic- iency with less ecort. Did you ever stop to thisk that eighty-fve per cent of the men of this country are earn ing only $15 a week or less? That ninety-two per cent fail in business between the ages of 40 and 50? That ninety-fve Der cent have no money at the age of 60? We have been very successful in getting men out of the eighty-fve, the ninety-two and the ninety-fve per cent class. Let us in- crease your salary. We have been marvelously successful in raising sal aries, as is conclusively proven in our catalogue by the letters from former students. The business world wants thinkers and doers. There's a famine of high priced men today; there are thousands of men worth a thousand dollars a year, but only a few worth ten thousand year. Be the latter kind of man, you can if you will. We know that man is worth only

 Matter? l want Miss Eustacla, that's what's the matter. I used to run in every day or two when things were hard at home, and she'd help me through, but now--n

Camp Pike, Jan. 15, 1918. My Dearest Mother:
 Both your letter of the 10th and 18th received and read with much pleasure. They are always welcome.
 Am mighty sorry it got so cold down there. Was in hopes we were getting it all at Camp Pike. We got our share of it alright, but the sun is shining beautifully today and it is lots warmer and everything is pretty While the ground is all covered with snow, still it seems almost like spring today.
 1 received the sweater Mrs. Bemis made for me yesterday, and it is cer- tainly beauty. It is we'll knit and it fits me like she had pattern to make it by.
 I'm gradually being made more comfortable every day. l didn't get cold when the weather was degrees below zero, so now feel more conf- dent than ever that I will suffer no

By saving just little less than quarter of what we ate last yearwe can can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good. The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the hour of need It has given corn in such bounty never known before. Tons of corn Train loads of corn. Five hundred million bushel1 over and learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made easy? And so clear!

Hitchcock's Fool Editorial
World Herald, Nov. 2.
Lobeck or Jeferis?
Woodrow Wilson VS.. DR.. Victor Rosewate

Woodrow Wilson vs. DR., Victor Rosewater.
That is the issue in the election OF con-
gresham from the Second Nebraska district,
embracing Douglas Washington and Sarpy
counties. The candidates are Charles o. Lo-
beck, who for eight years has served the people
W. Jefferis, the man whom Doctor Rosewater
has been trying for 10 years to land IN Wash
ington as his personal representative.
1t is idle for republicans to hold up their
hands in holy horror and pirate about the dc
tation" of president who asks that men be
elected who will aid him in winning the war
and bringing about just and honorable peace.
1t is idle for republicans to belittle Congress-
man Lobeck by calling him messenger boy
For the outstanding fact of Albert w. JET
ferris candidacy is that, if elected, he will be
Doctor Victor Rosewater's messenger boy.
Jefferis has been Rosewater's man for the
last dozen years. Rosewater thrust him into
the congressional primary in 1908, when Thomas
w. Blackburn and Charles L. Saunders were
already candidates, and then, as now, with
Rosewater's backing, he won the nomination,
Then, as will be now, he went down to deserved
defeat
When President Wilson urged, as he has the
reelection OF Congressman Lobeck, he simply
Endorsed record that in itself, justified such
action by the voters of the Second district. Uni
tormly back OF every war measure, uniformly
found working for every measure in the inter-
ests of the nation or the welfare of the people
whom he represents, Charles O. Lobeck need
ask no more than an intelligent and fair ap-
prasal of his record by the voters who will pass
upon his candidacy next Tuesday. At each of
three elections Congressman Lobeck has sub
mitted an account of his stewardship and each
time he has been voted the continued confidence
of his district until, in 1916 he was elected by
over 5000 majority in total vote of only $4,000.
What does A. w. Jefferis offer in place of
this record? He submits vast amount of fine
sounding verbiage about standing behind our
boys in the Notwithstanding which Con-
gresham Lobeck has been doing since the war
began, while Jefferis was canvassing the district
after his political scalp. He submits mass of
abusive calumny, unsupported by fact or argu-
ment, unworthy the attention of intelligent men.
Further than that, he submits-the indorse-
ment of Doctor Victor Rosewater.
Voters of the Second Nebraska district: Re-
publlcanS who are now cringlng under the whip
OF party regularity told you the truth about
Jeferis in the primary campaign. They told
you he was the candidate of the Rosewater-
Dennison partnership, the same partnership that
tried to put over" Jefferis in 1908, Baldrdge in
1912 and Baker in 1916, the same partnership
that deserted and sacrificed Blackburn in 1914
because he would not do Doctor Rosewater's
bidding.
Which will you have-the man who supports
Woodrow Wilson and whom Woodrow Wilson
wants, or the man who supports Victor Rose
water and whom Victor Rosewater wants?

renewed Jewish power was to be changed is
shown in Hosea l, 9-l0, and Isaiah xviii, II,

proved by Hosea l. II. The chosen people shall

Thrift of Soldiers Overseas

There are many solicitous people back
home who ask, now and then, what we do with
our money.
While we can't, of course, account for every
sou received and every sou expended, we can
give them a fair sample of what the army does
with its spare cash, taking Our figures from
those compiled for certain DIVISION served by
five canteens, during the month of August.
y In four out of the FIVE huts patronzed the
men sent home more money than they spent on
themselves for canteen supplies. In the fifth
hut the amount of merchandise sales was only
a small percentage larger than the amount Of
.remittances sent home.
\ Taking the FIVE huts as whole $4,000 more
francs were sent home than were spent at the
counter.
One & the huts, whose business in all de-
partment Sas the biggest of the FIVE, reported
that its pAtrons sent to America almost three
times as nnch money as it received for sales.
These figures are typical of the sound COM
mon sense of the American soldier Neither
Etight-hsted nor ultra-lavish, he doesn't stint
himself on necessities, and yet he manages to
remember generously his folks at home-Stars
and Stripes. France.

Republican Victory Complete.

As an outcome of the voting on Tuesday the
republican party is restored to the control of
the lower house of congress, and apparently
in the senate. This was forecasted months
ago because of the erratic course of the
democrats in connection with the war program,
but is made the more impressive by reason of
the personal appeal of the president to the vot-
ers Americans instinctively resent being die
tated to, and especially do they hold an aver
sion to making partisanship test of loyalty
That Missouri has elected a republican to the
senate and three to the house is an evidence of
how that appeal reacted.
In Nebraska the victory is complete. The
entire republican state ticket has been elected by
such majorities as add weight to the rebuke ad-
ministered the Hitchcock machine
whose control of state affairs for the last six
years has been notorious and exasperatng. A
solid republican delegation from Nebraska will
sit in the next house, the first in many years, a
further proof of dissatisfaction created by the
democratic oveslords.
To S. R. McKelvie and those who were as
ISOLATED with him on the republican state ticket
The Bee extends its warmest congratulations
They conducted campaign of character for
which they need never make apology, and en-
dured such deluge Of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton as seldom is visited on candidates. The
vote of confidence given them by the people is
their best vindication.
Success in election brings responsibility,
from which the republican party has never with
drawn. Its sound and progressive statesman
ship affords the best possible guaranty for the
future of the country under its guidance. Full
steam aheadl
