 Strikes me I've heard that obser- vation from you before," Lillian said slyly. And, if you want my ad vice, l wouldn't try to do anything with her. Katie is distinctly one of the persons who have to be taken 'as is And you can be mighty sure that she's getting all that's coming to her in the way of discipline these days from your august mother-in-law. So why worry over her apparent ilnper- thence when such good things as these are waiting?" You may not be hungry, but I am, frightfully."
 You know my weakness for tea and mufffns," I smiled, "and I've been out of the world so long that the pros pect of a dish of gossip with you is most attractive. But l have no news of Katherine later than the letter we talked over when I last saw you, the one telling of her promotion"
 The Hidden Letter.
 "Then she hasn't written you in over two months," Lillian commented. flor it's all of that since I've seen you. But of course she must be frightfully busy with her new responsibilities. Just think of our girl being head nurse in that immense hospital. But sine deserves everything she gets. Jack ought to be awfully proud of his wife.

 "No she wouldn't" Lillian returned thoughtfully, and struck by her tone I looked at her sharply. Something in the hesitating glance she turned to- ward me made me surmise that she didn't wish to initiate Katherine'sret- icence. With sudden prescience I guessed the subject of the confidence she wished to make me, and impul- sively tried to leave a way open her.

 She drew a letter from her dress flushing slightly as she saw that had comprehended her reason for carrying it thus--and held 1t out to me.

Cincinnati public schools will not
teach the German language after this
year. Many cities and towns in the
United States are cutting it out of their
schools. This is the proper thing to do.
The English language is good enough
for any person who is worthy of place
in this country. Let all learn it or get
out. 1t is time for the United States to
assert herself along several lines in
which we have been too lax and liber-
al in the past. The l. w. w. should be
kicked into the ocean. Germans and
other foreigners who are not in full
sympathy and accord with the United
States should be deported Those who
love the Kaiser and indorse his hellish
ambitions and efforts should be dumped
into Germany at the close of this
"Made- in Germany war, where they
can worship and serve him to their
hearts content if he still reigns. The
United States is a land of freemen WHO
choose their own officials and make
their own laws, based upon justice and
equality. No man who is unwilling to
subscribe to and abide by this plsl of
government has n place here. But We
can not go along as we have in the
past. Disloyal parasites and anarchists
must be chased out and kept out.
"America for Americans" is the slogan,
and no anarchist or unsympathetic for
eigner can become an American.

Women HaTnGSssd to PIOWs.

The women OF the poor classes in
Germany are mere beasts Of burden.
That's one. of the real reasons why
hundreds of thousands have come to
America German propagandists pub
fish the statement that there are no
poor people in Germany. This is one OF
their biggest lies. Read the following
which was published along with an ae-
tual photograph showing four women
stralning every nerve TO drag a pillow
guided by man:
What American women may expect
if Prussian kultur is not stamped from
the face of the earth is gathered from
the observations of an American BIZ
cycle tourist who left Germany shortly
after the outbreak of the war, The
spectacle of women doing al manner OF
heavy labor was never particularly un-
usual in Germany even in pre-war days
but the sight of four women harnessed
like horses and pulling pillow was a
distinct shock 10 the traveller who viii
messed this scene along the roadside in
the state Of Hesse- Nassau In an adj
joining field women with scythes and
cradles were harvesting a bumper crop
Of wheat.
The tourist stopped that night at a
BY inn, and there, IN conyersa-
ton with Il number OF German peas
ants expressed surprise that women
should oe driven to such drudgery The
peasants were much astonished when
informed that women in America sell
dom work at any task heavier Il an
household duties or light factory or Of
flee toll,
The men broke into laughter and In
utter amazement declared that With
nothing but the housework and the care
OF the children. they could not imagine
how the American women would oc-
cupy the vast bulk of their time.
AS the inevitable outcome of this
type of Prussianism the average Ger
man housewife is a broken-down old
woman at the age Of 45.-Popnlar Me-
chanics Magazine.

Letter From California

Mr. NJ. F. Conley,
Louisa, Kentucky
Dear Friend Our folks want the
paper for another year, so it is a good
time TO start the new year with the
same, as 1t saves us a lot of time in
correspondence just to read your pa
per to find out the news from our old
home back in Lawrence county. KY
wish the good people of Big Sandy
the best of wishes and may 1t become
a great country with good roads. l no.
tice the mountain people are going to
wake up soon in this line as they have
done in other lines of the past The
bluegrass people have had the advent
age over the rest of the state the last
so years or more. notice you are do
ing fine in Red Cross and other WI,
work.
Well | must say we are doing fine
out here. and having very fair health
l hope yourself and family. also cur
many friends are the same.
Well, am sorry for our Eastern
States being so cold and we people out
here in our Southern California burn
ing up with heat. 1t was over So in the
shade here some days. the first day OF
January, 1918, and also over Sc and So
during most of December We are
without rain over nine months with
only one little rain one day. and ono
little sprinkle another day. Along time
to be without rain, if this was back in
Kentucky. but not so much ont here,
yet we need it now very bad u make
the crops grow Things grow here dur
ing the winter. We have ripe tomatoes
yet and other vegetables in our gar
dens. Had no frost to even kill a sweet
potato or tomato. There has no. heen
any snow on our mountains back If Us
yet. most Januarys we have snow on
them. and when things are g.ccn in
valley. Well a good many pc lDle are
praying for the rains to come ana cool
er weather while on the Atlant they
pray for warmer weather. This seems
strange when we both are about the
same distance from equator line.
We are sending you a book 'Toura-
ment of Roses" We send you copy of
the paper marked where one of our
girls. Annie Dayton Jones. took part
in the same, to help the cause of de-
mocracy out, in the way of flower dis
