DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What 10 Il that attracts
young men to an unattractIve,
FOOLS girl: We are two Attrac-
tive girls. refined and Intelligent
We 90 out. meet young men, but
that ~ as far as It goes. The
men all mock for tht other girl
mentioned above. and seem to
md her more interesting. How
can We make ourselves popular
ana more interesting without
being too forward?
TWO LONESOME GIRLS
DOES It occur to you that you
may be a little Jealous? IsItnot

and free from ahectation1 Per-

Don't shut out from your own

Notice as 10 Shoveling Snow.


Frequent complaint is made con-
corning the matter of failure to get
the snow shoveled off walks at once
after a snowfall.
In order to make it possible to get
such work done at the earliest pos
sible moment after snowfall a
resolution was passed by the city
council authorizing and directing the
councilman in each ward to have
charge of that work in his own ward.
Every citizen can help materially,
first by seeing that his own walk IS
cleaned at once after a snowfall, and
secondly, by telling his councilman,
not only of the place where walk is
not cleared of snow, but Of someone
who can be hired TO clean it. Cooper
alton won the war; it can help
equally well in city affairs. To secure
men quickly for short job work like
shoveling snow is very hard to do;
We want your help. Telephone to the
councilman of your ward or to the
City Clerk at city hall if you know OF
anyone who will shovel snow for the
city.

Elks Memorial Sunday.

Last Sunday the DEBORAH lodge OF
Elks honored their dead in their
annual memorial services held at thu
Elks home on Main street. A large
lumber were present at the services.
The memorial address this year was
delivered by Atty. James Brownwell
of Marion, Iowa, and a more able,
impressive address we never heard
delivered here before. 1t was full or
wholesome thoughts from start to
finish, and it made a fellow feel
better man to have heard 1t. The
Elks lodge is one of the strongest in
the country today and they uphold
their motto of practicing charity and
brotherly love. The address deliver
ed by Attorney Brownwell was a
masterpiece. He touched upon the re-
cent war and he said that the public
schools were the moulding factors of
American manhood and womanhood
and the people should stand back of
the schools IN every way that was
possible, thus making better Ameri-
cans. The Elks lodge is distinctly an
American institution. He thought al
so that when foreigners who came to
our shores and denounced the home
they came from, that they should be
met by committee, and kindly but
firmly admonished that they were to
relenquish all ideas of their native
land, providing they wanted to be-
come Americans, as long as they
were leaving those foreign lands that
they did not consider good enough
to live in. Mr. Brownwell's address
was one that will long be remember
ed by those who had the privilege OF
hearing it.

HUNS OBJECT TO
ROAD BLASTING
BY AMERICANS
Operations by U. S. Engineers
Following ArmistiCe Mis-
taken by Germans .
for HostiIities. :
BY Associated Press.

With the American Forces on THE
Meuse. Nov. II. Blasting by Ameri-
can engineers in road repairing de-
tachment caused the German high
command to send message to the
allied high command Monday after
noon contending that the Americans
had not ceased hostilities on No
vember II.
The message sent by wireless to
the allied high command was timed
2 p. m, and read:
"On the front of Stenay- Beau
mont along the Meuse, Americans
continue despite conclusion of ar
mistice. Please order the stopping
of hostilities."
The, American answer to the Ger
man message read as follows:
Received your radio. Orders
have been given for the American
activities signalled On the Stenay-
Beaumont front to cease Immediate
ly."
So the engineers did not blast dur
ing the remainder of Monday after
noon. Early this afternoon how
ever, they resumed their blasting.
The engineers are Arepairing a
roadway lin the region of Stenay.
They rushed to quarry Immediately
after the arniistice conditions be-
came effective, not thinking their
blasting would attract attention. The
explosions today did not bring any
message from the, Germans so the
engineers blasted with much energy,
endeavoring to make up for the lost

PEOPLE SOON MAY EAT
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Washington. Nov. 12.-"Victory'
bread soon will disappear from the
American table and its place will be
taken by bread made from whole
wheat -four. Victory for American
and allied arms, however, is respen-
sible only in part for the change.
1t is chiefly due, according to the
food administration, to the tre-
mendous wheat crop raised by the
American farmer this year, the vast
stores in Australia and other wheat
growing countries now made avail
able and to a serious world shortage
in dairy foods. Milling of more
wheat will tend to alleviate the
shortage in dairy foods through
production of bran.
