The greatest thing in the world is
love, and the most important thing Is
the keeping of lave,-not only keep
ing the sacred flame burning on the
altar of the soul of another. but keep
ing it alight in our own souls, for
there Is no more danger that we shah
cease to be loved than that We shall
cease to love. and of the two the lat
ter Is the greater calamity.
Now there is only one way that we
can keep love alive, and that is by
giving itNan answering devotion, for
Cupid is q Jealous god who brooks no
divided allegiance,
A fact that We seem seldom to
grasp is, that loves power consists in
its being monopoly. AS long as
there is only one man or woman in
the world for each of us, or each of
US is the only man or woman in
the world for another. We are the
hollow of our hand. ~
Ne other thing appeals to us+neth-
ing else has the power to charm us as
does the knowledge that we have en-
tire possession of another's heart. That
is spell to eenjure with, whose po>
| teney far exceeds beauty, or wit, or
grace, OF any other personal attribute.
Millions of men have married wom-
en- that they would never have no.
tieed If they hadn't discovered that
the women were desperately in love
with them, while 1t is an axiom of
courtship that practically any man can
marry any woman he chooses if he
viii only love her long enough, and
faithfully enough. 1t is the patient
suitor who camps on girls deorsten
who gets her In the end, no matter
how much she soorned him at first.
In matrimony the ability OF love to
project its own, still holds good. The
greatest feminine diplomat THAT ever
lived. never devised any scheme 50
to hold husbands tickle fancy. as
just simply to lavish her whole, affec,
tion upon him.
As for woman, as long an a wife
is certain that her husband adores her
above everything else, she asks moth
| ing more of him, and forgives all
things to him. He may beat her, and
starve her, but If there is warmth In
| his kisses. she will not even remem-
Der her bruises against him. She may
have to work her fingers. to the bone
| to support him, but as long as he con-
! tinues to take an interest in holding
her hand after her days work is over.
she viii still consider herself the most
fortunate of her sex.
Such is the power of love TO win and
hold love. but we lose our white magic
as soon as our own affections cool off.
AS long as we loves we are loved.
When we cease to love, we lose love.
1t is when we set up other gods to
worship that Cupid rsvenges himself
upon us. by robbing us of the heart
we have won. and that we had fool
ishly believed that we could not lose.

We know not where the journey ends,
Nor what our mission here on earth;
The fates provide our foes and friends,
The days are filled with grief or inirth,
Wise men have sought to solve the plan.
Which helds and Keeps us all in bound
And shapes the destiny of man,
But none the key to it has found. ?.
No gray philosopher or sage
Can truly tell what waits In store ;.
Or guess the purpose OF the age;
They only know what's gone before.
Foeis follow fathers wise, and then
9reat souls are -nurtured In the slums
With every little baby comes. p
We choose the tasks we'd like to do,
And shape our lives around q whim;
We train the boy, as If we knew
Just what God had in mind for him,
And joy or misery depend
On this blind choice in every case,
But none can know until the end
That he is in his proper place.
How many men have gone astray?
How many men have missed the mark
And biind1y groped along the way
g~tompletely in the dark
BeeauSe they never found the toll
Which God had sent them here to do2
Good seed flung on a barren soil,
wasted because it never grew, =
Who knows but what the failure, sad,
In different circumstances here
Or changed a trifle would have had
His course to fame and victory cieur:
And since no man can truly say
Wha makes or mars our little lives
We should rejoice from day to day
That so much that is good survives.

England was at war, and high In times

may be expected, our issues should
gain 20 points in the next few years.
So the treasury department thinks
no investor can make wiser choice
than government securities. 1t be-
1ieves that any man with money in his
pocket will fare handsomely if he goes
to his banker and says: Here are my
savings. Put them in liberty bonds"
AS a matter Of fact many people
are buying them. When, on the New
York stock exchange, the bond busi-
ness of the day amounts to fifteen mil
lion. twelve million of it is likely to
be- government securities. The only
reason why the price has not gone sky
Focketing is because there is so much
of this paper in existence, SO much of
it offered for sale. When II begins to
settle down deeper into the safety de-
post vaults of the nation, to disap-
pear from the counters, the price will
rise.
When you buy Liber+y bond. the
government warns, do not put 1T in a
tin box or a. pigeonhole at home. 1t

it's value. Leave, it in your bank.
Almost any bank will keep your bonds
without any charge. Many of them
will clip the coupons as they mature
and credit them to your account.
They are safe in the bank.
And finally, the government calls
attention to another form of invest
ment it effers-Treasury Saving Ger
tificates. One may buy a Treasury
Savings Certificate whenever he has a
sum OF money from fifty to thousand
dollars. They are for sale at all first
and second class pesteffices, and any
banker will take your order for one.
1t will pay you four and quarter to
four and a half per cent. 1t is regis
tered and cannot be lost. Whenever
you want your money on it. you can
cash it anywhere 1t is like getting a
hundred dollar bill on which interest
is paid. You might as well keep your
extra money working.

Secretary j. c. Rains of the Mays
vile Tobacco Board of Trade, an
nounced this afternoon that a meeting
of the members of the Board had been
called for next Tuesday evening at
the Chamber of Commerce building
when the chief matter of discussion
will be the fixing of the date for the
opening of the local looseleaf market.
In fact the meeting is being called
for this specific purpose and all of the
warehousemen and buyers who are
members of the association have been
urged to be in attendance and express
their opinion as to the best time for
the opening
1t seems to be the general opinion
of all tobacco men yet seen that Tues
day, December 9th, is the proper time
for the opening and it seems to be
practically settled that this date will
be agreed upon at Tuesday evenings
meeting. The market will remain
open, except for a short holiday vaca-
ton, during the entire season after the
| first opening, it is learned.

POLICE SUSPECT river
: RATS OF WHISKEY Theft
Several Attempts Had Been Made Re-
Gently to Steal Whiskey From the
Pogue Distillery and These
Thieves Are Suspected.

The local police who have been in
vestigating the robbery of barrel of
whiskey from C. & o. freight car at
the local depot late Tuesday night,
have about reached the conclusion
Vat the robbery was not the work of
Eocal talent but that 1t was done by
ia gang of river rats who have been
hanging along the short of the Ohio
in this section for the past several
weeks.
1t has developed that some river
rats have been endeavoring to break
into the Pogue distillery for the past
few weeks and that only few nights
ago a heavy government lock on one
of the warehouses was badly battered
by persons who were endeavoring tc
gain an entrance to the warehouse.
| Chief Ort and his men have started
an investigation which is not only 10
cal but which extends throughout thi
entire district and they expect to hav,
the whiskey thieves behind the bar
before long Clews which were pick
ed up during Wednesday and Wednes

own life Sunday night Of last week
by drowning himself in small and

The parents are at a loss to ac-
count for a motive for the suicide OF
their son, as he was not known to

a noticeably depressed state of mind
On Sunday evening when Mr.. Nor
rison and his wife left home to at
tend the U. P. Church at Cherry Fork
the young man said he was not quite
ready to start but that he likely would
come along later.
He did not put in his appearance
at the church, and when his parents
arrived home and he was not In sign
they supposed he had gone up stairs
and retired for the night.
Mrs. Morrison, after she and hei
husband had retired, was to uneas!
