and Valentine, because, said he, the
first often brought with it stretch of
rain and the second wretch Of a
strain; for, of all strains In the world,
he argued, the worst was that imposed
by having to read a silly lot of foot
less and useless valentines.
The cynic probably does not stand
alone in his opinion of Saint Valen-
tines day. There are thousands of
men like him who believe that the day
has degenerated; that, where once Gu
pid conquered hearts through loving
missives sent on February ID, he now
merely yawns and fails to heed.
But does he? Have the old valen-
tines, as love messages, really lost
their power? Or have new kinds of
valentines succeeded the fiimsy lace
kind of other years? And are they at
all effective?
The printed chronicles of the last
several years reveal numerous cases
THAT go to disprove the statement of
the cynic and his followers.
/ On Saint Valentines day, 1908, Ar
thur Trumbull of Oswego, N. Y, sent
q young woman named Alice Cayvan,
whom he had been counting with in
different success for several years,
large heart fashioned out of crimson
cardboard. Through the heart he had
stuck a papier mache arrow. On 1t
he had written the single interrogatory
word "Hopeless?" The next day the
heart was returned to him by mail !;
but the arrow had been removed and
the hole In the center had been patched
up with bit of white paper on which
Miss Cayvan had written clearly
legible Eyes" They were married soon
after.
Not less productive of result was the
effort of Albert Hildrummel OF Topeka,
fKan., who, according to an article
printed in Western newspapers, sent
the young woman he loved, Clara
Sedgwtck, q blank marriage certificate
on last Valentines day with these
verses on the back:
This is my idea Of a valentine,
Practical, indeed, but true.
II you'll write your name in 1t,
II will be a valentine for two.
It is interesting to note that the re-
cipient did as directed.
An odd valentine was that sent two
wears ago by Francis Everlin OF chi
cago to Sarah Collins of Toledo, U.
Eyerlin had asked the latter to marry
him ON numerous occasions; but the
young woman had always asked him TO
refrain from regarding her otherwise
than "a sister," Everlin had no sucn
intention, however, and, biding his
time till Valentines day, sent her
valentine made up to resemble Dai-
lot such as is used in municipal eiec-
lions. At the top Of the ballot was a

Occupy Your Proper Place.

It's continuous confidence in the
ideal of your own making that compels
success, observes an educator. Some
men never question the possibility of
defeat. They may have set-backs but
not defeats. They are right and know
themselves to be right. The rest of
the world may be ranged against them
for all they care. They have mis-
sion and nothing short of 1t will sat
isfy. That's what you should have.
Get the proper self-estimate and move
up to your place.

Now that we are at war with
Germany every American should
know that it is just cause we
are fighting tor and not ZIG hting
other nations battles" as sorne
say.
The first and most prominent
cause Of the war was Cermany's
resumption OF Unlimited and un-
r stricted submarine warfare
After the Lusitania was sunk
Germany promised not to sink
passenger ships without warn.
ing and without first securing
the safety of non-combatent pas
senpers. This promise was only
made to gain time for the con-
struction of more submarines. as
an mber Of the German cab.
met has admitted. Thus The
Teutons viola ted International
law. Their invasion OF Belgium
without permission was another
violation of the same great Inter-
national agreement.
Their numerous Zeppelin raids
on cities without regard to what
or whom they destroyed are not
very becoming of a christian
nation.
Their disgracefnl intrIgues with
Mexico show that world con-
quest has been the aim of the
Central Empires for years past.
Those border raids were no
doubt instigated by German
agents. AS the numerous plots
which nave been discovered show
One was that If Mexico would
declare war on he United States,
Germany would give her Amer
ican territory as her part Of the
spnIls. This shows that after
she had beaten the European
Allies she intended to attack this
country.
Germany's wanton destruction
OF art. monuments and ancient
buildings are deeds which will be
rene mbered.
But the brutal tres tment bv the
Kaiser's officers of war prisoners
and OF the women and children
living incaptured enemy territory
is enough to cause the indignat
ION and hostility of any modern
nation.

hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-

The stories bothering Canada are
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
in a battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there Is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes. according to K. ii. Niles,
writing In the Hotel Gazette. who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain. vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making I'D
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
a broad field for investigation.
