people of Scotland Neck for so gen

rest Of the Halifax county boys
when | say that we appreciate it
and look eargerly through the,
mail each day to find it.
As far as | know | am
the only Halifax County boy here
but the place is never lonely. |
hated to be separated from the
boys | went to Camp jackson with
as we became good friends but
then we've made many friends up
here. AS for t.a hospitality Of
the people Of Baltimore &c the
soldier boys | can't say too much
They do all that they can to add to
! the pleasure and the comfort Of
The boys and It seems to give them
as much pleasure as it does us.
AS for Camp Holabird
| could write a volume and then
not tell all about it. 1t is the most
unique Camp in the United States
and is composed almost entirely
OF the quarter masters corps. We
do all the mechanical work and
the shipping and storing Of such
supplies. We are Grating trucks
for shipment to France and all
other such work. In short the
Camp is a big workshop. Soon
we will have cur big shops com
plete and it will just be hive Of
industry.
Give my best regards to all Of
the home folks and the boys in the
camps. Thanking you again for
the paper, am,
Very sincerely,

A RE you engaged to be mar

Are you, let US say,
nineteen years old, and
enthusiastically in love with a
lover who adores you? And
would the life ahead Of you seem
all rose and gold and crystal II it
weren't for those tiresome pract-
: cal matters that already worry
you so?
You're tremendously happy. You
hadn't dreamed it would be so won
derful, this planning a life part
nership with the incest boy in the
whole world. Only-you are both
Of you a little impatient to get
that partnership realized within a
year. You are eager to show
what a talent you have for Great
ing a home spirit And each Of
you longs to have a chance to
stake care Of" the other. You
say to each other that you simply
cannot wait longer than six
months.
It is true that you have known
other lovers, lovers who were very
prsduent or very self-sacrifcing
or perhaps only rather limp and
passive, who had to wait five or
six years, or thought they had to.
You wonder how they did it. You
are determined it shall not be so
with you.
The Saturday Night Problem.
And yet there are your tight
little problems. That incest boy
in the world partially supports
his mother. You wouldn't have
him do otherwise Moreover, his
position is one that doesn't yield
him q large salary. 1t is true he
likes it very much. It's in an
architects office, perhaps. He
says that he learns as much as
II he went to college, and that
the money you both need will
come some day. But just now
there isn't enough Of IL to sup

BREAD AND CHEESE AND KISSES

What are you going to say to
YOUR lover, when he comes to
night or tomorrow to tell you Of
his encouragement? And if you've
made up your mind to hslp him,
how are you going to set about
it?
In the first place, marrying and
having your own home needn't cost
perhaps as much as you had
thought. Can't you give up the
idea of having a fiat just as large
and as desirable as your best
friends? What does it matter If
you start with two rooms? Sure
ly, at your age, you are not de-
pendent on Injuries, and perhaps
YOU might even dispense with q
few comforts. There will be
plenty Of time later on to get to-
gether all those pretty furnish
ings you want 50 much. Begin sim
ply, If you have to. But if you
are wise young lovers, you will

to feel Q little unsympathetic to-

There are ever 30 many young
people who won't be Immediately
convinced, I'm well aware. They
are the ones who won't quite I'M
derstand what i am urging, and
who will tell me that even love
cannot afford to marry on nothing.
And that love won't last II it isn't
fed and warmed.
Which is quite true And / adj
init there are salaries too small to
marry on, especially II there's q
needy widowed mother In the case.

But isn't It a little hard to ex-
pect so much OF one young part
ner and so little Of the other?
Even when q newly married girl
is young and strong and free,
must she always, to the last
penny, be provided for, and must
her husband always be the one
"providerr
This, in fact, is my final sugges-
tion-that if it's necessary, the
bride help out. Almost every girl
is capable of earning money in
some way or another.
Perhaps she can earn as much
as her husband does. Perhaps she
can only earn the small sum that
is necessary to make the impossi-
bic, possible. In any case, she will
be a great deal happier for doing
it
Its a much more cheerful mat
ter to be q busy, productive human
being than to be q dead weight on

to do as much for you as he could

In this way did DR.. Robert Il. Motion,
principal of Tuskegee Institute. recog-
nized leader of the Negroes since the
death of Booker T. Washington, an
swer the question: "What is the Ne
gro doing in the war;"
Isn't it significant" went on DR..
Motion, that intelligent colored peo-
pie at first feared that the Negro
might be deprived of the citizens
right and privilege to defend his coun-
try!
There was general rejoicing at the
decision to include Negroes in the
draft There was renewed rejoicing
when Secretary Baker, in spite of
great opposition, decided to place col
ored troops in the same cantonments
with white troops.
Surely by his loyalty in the war for
democracy the Negro will have earned
his full share with white people of all
those advantages of public education
and protection which good govern
ments should provide"
