 Its a pity everything's gone to pot like that, Stell," he said softly. I've grown a lot wiser in human ways the last two years. You taught me lot, and Jack lot, and Linda the rest. It seems a blamed shame you and Jack came to fork in the road. Oh, he never chirped. I've just guessed it the last few weeks.

 Well, you know about that better than I do," Benton said thoughtfully Tt all depends on how you feel"
 The poignant truth of that struck miserably home to her. It was not a matter of reason or logic, of her making any sacrifice for her conscience's sake It depended solely upon the existence of an emotion she could not definitely invoke. She was torn by so many emo tions, not one of which she could be sure was the vital, the necessary one. Her heart did not cry out for Jack Fyfe except in a pitying tenderness, as she used to feel for Jack junior when he bumped and bruised himself. She had felt that before and held 1t too weak crutch to lean upon.

 From The Kansas City star.
 Englands early experiences in war equipment were very much like Americas Munitions always had neen supplied by arsenals under the War Department. When the distinguished soldier, Kitchener, was made war secretary it was supposed the production of munitions was in competent hands.
 Then came the Northcliffe expos ure and the cabinet shakeup by which Lloyd Gearge was transferred to the newly created post of minis ter of munitions. His energy and executive capacity transformed the situation. Then Britain recognized that it had been expecting the im- possible when it had expected a man trained as soldier to undertake the utterly different job of manufactur- ing munitions on a tremendous scale.
 The United States has been re- beating England's mistake. It left an ordnance officer, a technical man, in charge of an organization that was to expend billions of dollars. No wonder the organization broke down. for the tax year of 1917 is $43, 3,234.A0, as against S4i ,2i307 for the year of i9i6 The increase in the tax of 1917, notwithstanding the decreased valuation, is due to a large extent to increase in the school tax levies since the amendment of the consti- tuition increasing the maximum school levy from to i2 mills.
 The tax on the city and town lots for the year 1917 is shown by the abstract to be $i8,l09S2. as against Si6S29.07 in 1916, and the tax on the farm lands for 1917 is $24,82459, as compared with $24, 4,38400 in 1916 The assessed values of these two classes of property is as follows

Ida Tarbell, the famous writer, gays in the February Woman's Home Companion, in an article about women carrying their own packages and ordering them more sensibly.
 The cost in men and money of thoughtless ordering is staggering. Since the government turned it's at tention to this matter, various care full Investigations have been made, with a result hat really ought to make us all ashamed of ourselves, that is, if we have any feeling at all, as most people have for the orderly, efficient doing of things. One care- ful research body declares that in the ordinary retail grocery stores of the country the expense of deliver ing is three per cent of the net sales It was found that in Washington City seven and one-fourth per cent i of the gross sales of all products was spent in delivery.
 The Commercial Economy Board a committee of the Council for Sa- tional Defense, has been pushing the 1 problem of delivery reforms the hardest It declares that we could easily release half the men, the money and equipment employed ill delivery if we would set about it in an intelligent and determined fash i ion.
 1 Something of what this means will be seen if we consider what it takes simply to take care of the work of the retail grocery stores of the country. There are more than 100000 of these shops. They em- ploy over 100000 men in deliveries, and as many wagons and trucks, The cost of the business is some thing like S75,000000 a year"
