The Letter Drops
At the door of the farmhouse
Elizabeth Wade sprang from the
car before Clifford had a chance TO
help her. AS he began taking out
the parcels by which Mrs Chaplin was
surrounded, Elizabeth came to his as
sistance.
Here. give me some of those and
help your mother" she ordered.
He did her bidding, and as she
mounted the steps with an armful of
groceries she dropped one of the
parcels.
AS she did so. the letter she had
tucked into her belt slipped to the
ground.
She did rot see it. but went on into
the kitchen with her burden. Return
ing a minute later she found Clifford
standing at the foot of the steps, her
letter in his hand. His mother had
gone into the house by the side door.

still holding the epistle. II picked
it up"
"Oh. thank you!" She held out
her hand for her property. and he
gave it to her. looking her full in the
face as he did 80.
The address was uppermost, and
she noted with a shock that the num-
Der of Douglas Wade's P. o. box and
"Riverhill, Wyo., were stamped on
the corner of the envelope.
Thank you" she repeated con-
fusedly. II did not know had
dropped it."
She was glad that Douglass name
was not on the envelope. Perhaps
Clifford did not know where the
owner of the farm was living now.

she was acutely uncomfortable.

MAKING THE MOST OF. =

A Series of Plain Talks to
By Ray c. Beery, ABB, MA.
President of the Parents Association.

THE old adage Spare the Rod

to follow. 1t made child train
ing easy to many parents a genera
ton ago.
To-day there is no such simple rule
for bringing up children. Many par
ents are bewildered by the conflict
between several varying theories OF
education that are lin the air."
som etimes hear parents say that they
have employed every method under
the sun and in spite &s this their
children behave in a most undesir-
able fashion.
Not all methods are good. and GER

methods, is anything but good
Imagine, for instance, a mother
saying that in her attempt to cure
her boy of lying she had tried scold-
ing the boy, reasoning with him, de-
nying him privileges. being kind to
him, threatening him and even
whipping him-all to no avail. And
yet, many cases of this sort come to
my attention.

Sugar Honor

Sugar and the war have combined
forces to put the non-combatant Am
orleans to big test. They are going
to reveal those who are without hon
or. The family which buys sugar for
canning and then uses 1t to frost
cakes are not putting one over on
the government"
This is Americas war, and Ameri-
cas- wars are not won alone by the
soldiers in the field. They are won
by every American standing firmly
and honorably behind the men at the
front, Any mother would hide her
face with shame If her soldier son
were caught in a dishonorable act.
She knows that the country is trust
ing him as she trusts him. The coun-
try is now trusting her and her fam
lily to use just as small an amount
of sugar possible; to use every
grain which she says she wants for
canning. for that purpose: not to run
from store to store getting more
sugar than is due her. What would
a soldier in France think if he knew
his family back home was betraying
their countrys trust?
The grocer does not think you are
dishonest when he asks you to sign
certificate saying that you will use
your sugar for canning purposes. any
more than the public thinks a gov
ernment official disloyal when it asks
him TO sign and oath of office. Do
not have an aversion to signing your
no3rS in a good cause, and when you
do so, stand by IL.

The Plotters
A New Serial of
East and West
By Virginia Terhune
Van de Water

AS soon as Elizabeth Wade had
uttered her thoughtless remark. she
knew she had made a mistake.
Perhaps she felt the form at her
side start slightly. Perhaps his ST.
lence warned her that something was
amiss.
What had she said? Oh, yes, that
she had no sister!
An awful thought struck her.
Did the real Lizzie Moore have a
sister, and. if so, did Clifford Chaplin
know it?
Then she recalled with a throb of
relief that he had spoken several
times of knowing nothing of his
Pennsylvania relatives. Yet he had
also said that he remembered see
ing little Lizzie Moore when she was
"a small girl with pig-tails."
Elizabeth tried to quiet the beat
ing of her heart by the reflection
that no harm could have been done.
She must have imagined that her
retort had not made any unusual
impression upon Clifford Chaplin. If
1t had he would have replied to it,
To test him she asked idly: Did
