MONEY WE'LL SPENT.

One of the objections being urged
to universal military training is the
expense which it would entail. But
the expense would be small in com
parison with the huge sum the govern
ment was compelled to pay out when,
in 1917. it became necessary to pro-
vide this training in a hurry. Besides
it would enable the country to make a
great saving in the cost of a standing
army which could be reduced to a
minimum.
We do not stop at any expense in
the maintenance of schools for teach
ing reading, writing and arithmetic
Why should we balk at the necessary
expenditure for teaching the laws of
health, discipline and obedience to
law?.
When, in Centralia, Wash. on Ar
mistice day, parading ex-soIdiers were
shot and killed by I. w. W.'s, crowds
OF infuriated citizens rushed for the
Jail where some OF the reds were al
ready imprisoned. But they found a
body of khaki-clad civilians on the
steps guarding the very men accused
OF numbering their comrades. Stand
back" they shouted. I'VE must have
no violence on our part. Let the law
take its course. Mob spirit gets you
nowhere" They had been trained in
the military camps of the country.
II military training bring out these
qualities in our manhood, why not
continue it from year to year? This
does not mean service, by any means
such as was necessary during the
war but six months training for
| every young man. without placing him
in the, army or subjecting him to call
for riot or strike duty or any other
service. Make the cantonments great
training schools where the drill-mas-
ter and the school-master will work
together to turn out healthier. strong
er men with mental poise, better citi-
zens with a desire for order and re-
spect for government. willing Ameri-
cans with the best interests OF the
country at heart Universal training
will produce citizens of the highest
type and stabilize the country.

HEART AND BEAUTY

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am a boy

and fell in love with her at sight. Since
that time l have taken her to school
play which we both enjoyed. Ny par
ents do not object to this because they
are acquainted and know the girls
parents. They also like the girl.
l haven't called on the girl for few
months because 1 have been busy with
school work. Shall / call on her and
take her to the theatere
How can find out whether she
loves me without asking herr
LONESOME.
I should say that you are too young
to go 10 the theater at night with a
girl. Ny advice is to wait until you
are IS at least.
1t would be- foolish to find out
whether or not the girl loves you.
What IL she does2 Both of you will
change in the coming years and your
fancy will turn from each other to

She used 20 help her mother with the d she's
after tea.
She often swept the psrior and was useful
as could be.
A month ago, not longer, she would even
mop the floor,
But sister isn't helping with the housework
any more.
She has changed ipto lady and We stag
ger from the blow;
For her place Is in the parlor, now that
sister has beau.
Time was she did the duss1ng and she
used to make her bed.
But the soft and lily whiteness OF her hands
may change to red
And she isn't taking chances: she rcmem-
hers If she toiled
That the charm of her complexion and her
beauty might be spoiled.
So she's relgning in the parlor like some
queen Of long ago
And the work all falls to mother now that
sister has a beau.
1t must be that she fancies-t that she'd lose
him, ike n fish,
If by chance. he should discover that she'd
ever wash dish:
Or maybe that he'd never come to see her
any more
If he learned his little sweetheart some
times had to sweep the floor.
But L notice dad and mother in the eve ming
chuchlc low
As they watch the ways of sister since
she has steady beau.

But we needn't have worried. When

II thought she you'd feel that way,
was Everett's only remark when
read him that portion of her letter.
Poor Rose. She was such a gay,
| fun-loving girl. She was the liveliesi
of us ALL"
But Rose. everything was pushed

her letter, because of my Jealous sus-

Everett were in close conversation in

ROSE AGAIN.
CHAPTER CXXVI,

Rose had gone home at last. Gone
to stay-so she said. She had not yet
asked for divorce. I, for one, felt
she never. would. There is some
thing in a small town bringing-up
that still made divorce seem a sort
of disgraceful thing, altho in cities it
was scarcely nine days wonder.
Then, too, Rose loved Walter Kemp
badly as he had treated her. And
when a woman loves a man she clings
to any hold she may have upon him
as long as she can.
Her heart. is near. the breaking
point, mother wrote. She seems to
have, lost an. interest In everything.
Her father wants Rose and her
mother to travel. He cannot leave
his business, however, and Mrs. Gran
don hates to leave him. I think Rose
feels chagr1ned and embarra ssed be-
cause of her old friends. There is no
need; there is nothing but sympathy
for her in their hearts. l think it
will be a lesson to some of them. A
girls parents are her best friends.
If Rose had consulted hers, her father
would have looked up Mr.. Kemp's
record. and from what Mrs Grandon
tells me Of him. am sure Rose would
not~have married him. Now she is
shamed and hur1iIiated."
There was much more in mother 5
letter. but that was all about Rose.
1 sat right down and wrote her a
| long letter By and by l would ask
| Everett to let me have her for a
short visit. 1t would do her good,
perhaps. And I was so sorry for her
| When L suggested it to- Everett he
! offered no opposition to my plan,
altho he did not appear particularly
| pleased.
ut will bring back all that hap
pened while she was here before -
| he reminded me. He had always re-
sented her running away to get mar
ried while visiting me. He never had
quite believed that her father die
not blame him in some way. or think
| he might have prevented the mar
riage, altho Rose had told them Ever
| ett didn't even know she was ac-
quainted with Walter
