Silversand Lake, Wednesday,.

SilverSand Lake, Wednesday. Joan Dear:
 Mrs. Kymbal went to New York to- day to be gone for the week end. This left Eric and me without barrier be- tween us. It was our evening.
 I tried an experiment, Joanie. was tired of wrestling with problems. I longed for one quiet evening in calm companionship. without emotional stress. or sentiment, or even talk. l wanted to relax, and to have him do the same. It would be, fancied. test of myself and of him.
 For ever since that letter of yours, dear. about the professional quality of large cities as against the simplicity of the small town, 1 have realized that I am the small town person after all. If small town" means average, every day humanity with plain wants and temperate ambitions-that's me! This professional high-pitch living is wearing. Why, we have a professional hostess now, in Mrs. Kymbal!
 Well, I knew could lure Eric Wal lis into something interesting if l donned my best frock, led him to the dance-room and threw myself into gales of viyacity and tricks of charm. But did not want that. I wanted to see if our souls were enough in har- mony to be satisfied with just proxim- ity, just a plain evening at home" For most lives-married lives, Joau-are made up, are they not, of evenings at home, and simple little talks, and read ings and servings, and putting out the lights and going upstairs to bed tSee how your letter echoes and re-echoes through my mind, dcarD
 We'll, he asked me what was going to do after dinner.
 T am going" said I, into that little cosy reading room at the head of the stairs. with the lamp and the chintz curtains and chairs, and sit by the table and embroider an edge upon my georgette colalr."
 He glanced up in surprise.
 Where do come in?'
 'The entrance is just to the right of the landing" smiled. And am. I to play solitaire while you sew"
 "If you like. Or you can read, or smoke, or talk to me, or all three" Again he looked puzzled, but at o'clock he came in. with a whimsica. smile, and took the chair at the othei side of the table. We talked a little, ant there were long rather comfortable si. 1ences-for a while. Then I felt hi1 | growing restless.

nodded cheerfully even before he shook hands with Daddy.
 If was that secret service man lron our home town! The man who had once sent for me and questioned me about my discoveries in pr. Cerlels sub-cellars!
 I would have fled from the room put inc newcomer called to me: "Walt moment. young womanl" I noticed that he didn't use my name. Did he kno" I wasn't Rose Mullally-that l was actually Jane, wife of Robert Atwood Lorimer?
 "T just want to compliment you on the way you can keep a secret" he con tinued. beaming on both Daddy ana me as one proud with the joy of success.
 I bowed my acknowledgement, put protested: "Please-wait-with your compliments This very morning nao decided to tell MT. Lorimer all that told you long ago"
 You can tell him anything you want to-after I get through" the man com mented, while Daddy regarded us both with a puzzled smile. We were sorry not to take him into our confl- dence earlier, but if we'd done so-or if you'd betrayed what you know, young woman-we'd probably never have cornered our man.
 Have you-have you arrested him :" I gasped.
 Hes the same as pinched," an- swered the officer, and Daddy broke in, Now say. what are you two talking about?"
 As the newcomer glanced at him and back at me I could see that was dis missed. And I hastily left with a light ened heart. for this visit, I could see, was going to spare me the necessity Of spelling Chrys' wedding.
 It would inevitably be spoiled now, knew, but thank heaven my hand would not be in the disaster. Chrys and mother were in the family's hotel suite in town, overseeing the packing of the last trunks. And terrible as would be the effect of the officers story on Daddy Lorimer, I could not even guess it would shock his proud daughter, now excitedly making her last preparations for her Spanish hon eymoon.
 How, wondered. could the whole grim farce, of which she was the prin- cipal victim. be broken to her?

promised to intervent to save Chrys from a man whom I knew to be one of the master spies to save continents, finally decided that I was doomed to be the instrument of fate, and that I might as well have the agony over.
 But I was appalled, at the prospect It wasn't going to be an easy matter to convince Daddy Lorimer that his trust in Certeis was misplaced. Yet I could not evade my own responsibility. My feet dragged little as I entered Daddy's office, and I was vastly re- lieved at his cheerful greeting which postponed my ordeal temporarily.
 Just the grille I'm looking for" he said. See that heap of letters? All got to be answered for the next mail"
 Daddy is always delighted to have me help him, and although it was hard work, I had the answers all typed in time for the mail. As I handed them to him to sign, motor stopped outside his office door. From it stepped a large man who smiled on me and

The Relief of Exhaustion

The most cheering that has out of Washington recently is the intelligence of general wearness of the debate the peace treaty. It is said that when senator, any senator however elo- and gifted he may be- drifts into that subject now, the chamber is quickly emptied and he finds himself talking to empty Everybody is tired of it, the senate the galleries and the public In such a situation the debate beginning yesterday is likely to be unduly prolonged.
 No doubt many of the senators who have not yet been extensively heard will desire be recorded probably the speeches of most of them will be dis posed of by '1eave to print"
 Some of the senators may be bores, but few of them probably enough of bores talk to the empty air a subject that has already been talked tatters.
 The Bulltt contribution has introduced new phase which has given the theme a flickering inter- est, and probably the opponents of the treaty may devote time that but is unlikely that the supporters of the pact will time or elo- quence in replication so may entertain the hope that by the time the peripatetic discussion. the west and middle west has been ended the country will find relief in early vote after which we may turn to the next order of business.
 We hardly complain. after all. of the de- lay which has attended the consideration of the treaty. While much, by far the greater part of the 92 pages of being of absolutely concern to this country and therefore required discussion there was much in it that proposed most radical de- parture from present relations with the rest of the world and indeed. proposed to affect to some tent the domestic order If there was anything laid before the senate that merited critical survey and whose importance justified the expenditure of time, it the peace treaty. Whether the survey throughout has been honest and whether the whole time has been wisely expended are other questions.
 But all this is mostly in the past and now that we are afforded prospect of early relief we are inclined forgive the any unnecessary in- truson upon time and patience

Tn. Farmer and tn. Plumb Plan

At a meeting of the Oklahoma Farmers union not long the following proposition was put for ward:
 If congress in It's wisdom fit to give these railroad their demands, we ask that congress shall also buy all of the farms in the United States with their equipment, and employ all the farmers to operate them, paying to the farmers wage equal to wothirds of the hourly wage that the average rail- way employe receives; and then sell all farm prod ucts to the consumer at cost"
 And why not, if the government is going into the business of running the industries of country for the benefit of the workers? The farmer has al- ways been willing worker and a worker of long hours He has never been a stickler for eight hours or any other number of hours. His work day has been from to sum-" longer, if necessary. He never heard of double time" time and half" The Salt River valley farmer works the whole day and half the night when the waters in" The farm CT has never had anything to do with the fixing of his wage scale. That was fixed for him by the manipulators of his products when they pow erful enough to control them. When they were not prices either ruinousy low because of abund- ance, they might be high because of a great scarcity. If the farmer knew where he was at" he never could know where he was going to be.
 The situation of the farmer has, therefore. been such that a Plumb plan applied to him would be attractive one, the purchase of all his holdings and the assurance of income for doing something that had hitherto been of uncertain result to him. It would also relieve him of great deal of apprehen- sion and worry. Drouth chntz bugs, grasshoppers and other enemies of old would be unloaded upon the government. What governments for if not 10 promote the happiness of citizens?
 However, the proposition of the Oklahoma Farm ers union was only sarcastically offered was put forward only "reductio ad absurdum" argument; only to make more clear the ridiculousness of the Plumb plan, for immediately thereafter the Farmers union adopted this resolution
 We view with alarm and oppose any govern ment ownership of railroads, and especially op- pose the Plumb plan (the railroad brotherhoods plan) of buying the railroads by the United States government at the public expense, turning them to the railroad employees and guaranteeing to the ploys that whatever they demanded will be paid

sUFFRAeIsTs VOTE IN 1920, IF-
1920?
By Ruth Hover
Will women vote in the presidential election oooo

Will women vote in the presidential election of 1920?
 'Yes!" say the suffragists.
 "Nol" say the antis.
 Twenty-four states expected to ratify the suffrage amendment Twenty-two of these neces- sary ratification Only of the "A meet in regu lar session in 1920. Two special sessions sched- uled leaving IT special sessions to be called unless another presidential election is to pass without the participation Twelve of these r al ready equal suffrage but the other five do not The IA states which have equal suffrage represent than half of the population of this country.
 Alice Paul. chairman of the womans party, says:
 Women determined to vote by 1920. The special sessions necessary to ratify the amendment will cost no more now than later. The matter of pense has never been brought up when it ques- on special sessions permit small groups of men, such as our soldiers the Mexican border to vote. In many states confident that the pressure of several issues-suffrage the high of living and other reconstruction problems, will necessitate spe cial sessions
 But women will not be content merely to cast in the 1920 election. They wish to be enfran- chised in time to take part in the party conventions and the primaries next spring. We believe it mat of the greatest importance that ratification should be completed in time for the state elections this fall
 "The attitude of the western suffrage states, which have refused to call special sessions until rati fcation assured, is being criticized and resented by in all parts of the country.
 Success depends merely on energetic campaigns in the necessary number of states. Such campaigns depend only the generous contribution of funds by the of the country for this last stage in their fight for freedom"

 The anti-suffra gists claim they need only eleven legislatures to defeat ratification

new STATES LEAD NOW
IN LUMBER CONSUMPTION
q. s. Forest Service Bulletin Says
Less Goes for Fuel Than
Formerly. A.,

The per capita consumption of lum-
ber is greatest in the newer states,
such as Montana. according to r. c.
Bryant, Industrial examiner for the
United States forest service. in a re-
cent bulletin. Montana had a per
capita consumption in 1915 Of 1,234
board feet. whereas those states hav-
ing a large percentage of urban
show a lower rate Of con-
sumption. For instance. in 1915 the
consumption in New York state was
206 board feet and in Pennsylvania
293 board feet. 1t is quite probable
that the unusual building activity this
year, especially in dwellings. will
raise the per capita consumption for
1919 even in the older states.
