LETTER FROM J. B. McCOOL.
U. S. S., South Dakota,
 Jan. II, 1918

Jan. IL, 1918 Editor Independent,
 Newport, Ark.
 Dear Friends of Jackson County: have just received the Independent and believe me, it takes me back to dear old ackson county Tor 6 few hours. I notice where several soldiers and sailors have written home, so l will explain my trip to South America. First, when we got to Bahia, had to learn how to talk again, but very little could l understand. From Ba- hia we sailed for Rio de Janeiro, Bra gil, Montevideo, Uruguay, Buenos Ayres, Argentina, from which place we returned to Montevideo where we stayed two of weeks and then sail ed for Dear old U. s. A." We coaled ship at St. Lucias, Island. The ne- groes carried fifteen hundred tons on their heads by baskets. We woke up the morning of December 24th at New York City after voyage of twenty y-eight days.
 The sailors of the South Dakota have carried Old Glory into four for eign countries and long to carry her to Germany, ,-and we are sure we will get the Kaiser.
 At this writing I am somewhere in Canada. We always try to win home wherever we go and are always lucky. Several of our sailors mar ried in Montevideo; how do you know that did not? Best wishes to all.

your woman's heritage. If a man
loves you and you love him, don't
let the thought Il your present pay
envelope or of that future dishpan
prevent you from marrying him.
What would become of the homes
and the children of the future if the
strong, self-supporting girls avoided
marriage and it became the refuge
of the weak incapables.
Every girls problem needs a spe-
cial solution. Nobody could be wise
enough to give advice which would
apply to all cases. But there are
some general considerations that
all girls will do we'll to remember
when they find that their lives have
reached turning point, that there
is decision to be made.
Danger of Cynicism.
First, don't let any job come to
seem to you more important than it
really is. You may have a remark
able talent for bookkeeping Is well
as for order and system and neat
ness generally. 1t is quite likely
that all your superiors in the Office
have assured you Of this and that
you have come to feel pretty GER
tain that the work of the office
couldn't get on without YOU. This
is very pleasant feeling. and
there is something almost intoxicat-
ing about it, too. You know your
self how it often leads you to work
overtime and sometimes even to
give up your Saturday afternoons.
Then it may be that during your

childhood you shared a sordid FAM
lily struggle with poverty and that
you got bitterly tired of disorder
and overweight nerves and of
there never being quite enough of
everything to go around. And the
order and independence that you
have achieved are so precious that
| know you are often a little cynical
about mere sentiment.
All this is quite natural And one
admires the girl who respects her
self and likes her job and excels in
it. Only, don't let it lead you to
despise love and lovers. Don't be
afraid to let yourself love the man
who has chosen you and needs you,
All the great realities of life are
within your reach. Perhaps you
could never love this particular man,
in which case you will have to let
him go. But listen to your own
heart and let that decide. And have
the courage and womanliness to &C
cept its decision.
Now you have all along taken it
for granted. perhaps, that you
couldn't work after marriage. But
don't let any old-fashioned coun-
sellor. even your fance himself, per-
suade you that this is necessarily
true. A husbands dignity isn't in
the least impaired if the wife
chooses to contribute the contents
OF a second pay envelope to the
family purse. II she has a talent

RE you afraid Of life?


n That is, are you afraid Of
love, marriage and mother
hood? Or, if not precisely that,
are you afraid of the responsibilities
and the etiresome duties that
these other great privileges are
pretty sure to entaill
Are you very proud of your inde-
pendence and security and thrift,
and do you value that weekly pay
envelope of yours almost more than
anything else in the world? And
somewhere in the back of your mind,
as black and heavy as an iron ball
and chain, is there dread of becom-
ing a captive of the kitchen and the
motive power for a baby carriage
with no evenings out or Sundays off
and no pay envelope whatever?
| wish that ! might personally
persuade every girl who supports
herself and is justly proud of doing
so that there is larger way of
looking at life than the way to which
she may have accustomed herself. |

ability that brings a market price is
an asset that counts in marriage and
not a merely maidenly attribute that
fades out of sight with the slipping
on OF the wedding ring.

and will, and somebody will employ
you. You will be wiser and more

is the opinion of Miss GalenA
Stowell, physical director at the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton.
The boys" said Miss Stowell,
ARE required to take physical train
ing regularly, in addition to all the
other hard work they do. Hard
work does not take the place OF
physical training, and the women
who are wearing themselves out do-
ing war work are making the mis-
take of their lives when they get the
idea that it does. Our boys are
coming home in the pink of physical
condition and consequently alert
mentally, and if the women allow
themselves to wear out, they are 60
ing to prove great disappointment
to their men,

my acquaintance" continued Miss
Stowell, "have already died, worn
out by hard, unselfsh work and too

of the physical training classes this
year will be to keep the bodies OF
the women who are doing war work.

Everbearing strawberries have

HYASHINGTON society has
wv suffered very considerably
w from the effects of Spanish
influenza. Many of the embas-
sizes and legations and the
most prominent families in society
have been thrown into mourning,
because of its heavy toll. Two mill
tary men of the British embassy
staff, Col. Angus Macintosh, SON.
in-law of the governor general of
Canada and the Duchess of Devon
shire, and Captain Lyell both died
within week. The military attache
of the Japanese embassy, Colonel
Tanikawa; picturesque little Mrs.
Koo, the tiny wife of the Chinese
minister, only twenty-five years old,
who was among the first victims;
then Nine. Raybaud, wife of the
military attache of the Argentine
embassy, who died in Spain of the
same malady; Mr.. Menos, the min
lister from Haiti, and young Master
Galvan, son of the Dominican min
lister, all died within a week. Among
the residential society, no more
tragic deaths were known than Miss
Bessie Edwards, only child of Gen.
Clarence Edwards, who has been in
France since we first declared war
upon Germany, and 1t. Lawrence
Townsend, Jr., U. S. n, son Of the
former United States minister to
Portugal and to Belgium.
From the first day of November
the great recreation and pleasure
moments for society will be the con-
certs. An unprecedented season i.

bers of the cabinet circle, and Nine.
Jusserand, wife of the French am
bassador, are all on the patroness
list for the French Symphony
orchestra, whose concert was post
poned from last week, to November
E, on account of the "fu." This will
be practically the opening of the
season, and one of the first gather
lngs Of society this season.
Plenty of Debuta1tes.
OF debutantes. there are a plenty.
But of parties there will be a con-
siderable dearth. The girls are all
busy with their war work, and for
the most of them, their parents are
too much concerned over what is
going on across the sea, to encour-
age them in any festivities, except
the simplest. There are no official
buds, and but one diplomatic, the
daughter of the minister from Saliva
dor, Miss Julia Zladivar. She will
be presented at an evening party,
a dance.
There will be at least one cabinet
wedding before the holidays set in,
that of Miss Lucy Burleson, daugh-
ter of the postmaster general, and
Ensign Charles Greene Grimes, U.
S. N, of Dayton, Ohio. This is
case of an ensign marrying sailor.
