big order. He complains of combine conspiracy
Smong steel manufacturers hold up the price Every
company made the bid price for rails to the
Government.
Mr. Hines says he bought the 100000 tons under pro-
test"
Why buy them at all? Why not wait until President
Wilson and the Republicans hand the railroads back to
private owners then let those gentlemen buy the rails?
And why not, in the meantime request the Attorney
General to find what INDIVIDUAL is responsible for this
conspiracy by corporations rob the people that
pay for the rails through taxation direct or indirect?
You might think that the United States Steel Company
had taken enough out of the Government in war; paying
II per cent five hundred million dollars worth of
tered stock and putting away hundred millions of Lib
ey Bonds This avoided handing the money to gentlemen
that would have been compelled pay the money back in
high taxes to their country.
If steel gentlemen who preach morality Sundays and
conspe to rob the Government the other six days want
to avoid Bolshevsm about which they shed tears pro-
fusey they would do well to give up their proteeng and
gouging of their Government for LITTLE while. If
they don't do that they will drift into trouble eventually

time. One night 1 took a cousin
TO the club, and that night he took
her home, and a week later asked
me IL 1 could not arrange for a
party of four, my cousin and /, he
and a young man friend, all to go
somewhere together. We arranged
the party and went to the thea
ter. On our return, standing in the
vestibule, his young man friend
attempted to kiss my cousin good
night, and she refused. They had
a few words over it, and parted
very angrily. Now, Miss Fairfax,
the president of the dancing club
and had nothing to do with this
row. but since then, he has never
called me up or come to see me.
The club has closed. Is it because
of this episode that he does not
come? 1t is possible he thinks I
am angry about it? Remember
Cupid has nothing to do with this,
for there is no love on my part.
He is 4 nice boy and ! would not

CURIOUS.
My dear child. don't you see that
at sixteen you are quite too young
to be receiving the exclusive at
tentiOnS of the president of the
dancing club and going off to the
theater without some older person?
This may sound very old-fogey
advice to you, but to an unpreju-
diced person, such things seem a
little fast and forward and may
tell against your future. This is
sound worldly advice, and l hope
you will act Oh it. AS far as these
young men are concerned, think
they were looking for what Is
known as a sporty" time, and /
should accept their present neg
lect with fortitude.
Looking for Trouble.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am seventeen, and have been
going with a young man two years
my senior and like him very much.
Recently, l have heard that he
can't bear the sight OF me. The
girl vino told me is madly in love
with him herself. The young man
comes every night to bring me
home from my girl friends house
and terats me very nicely. Please
answer and let me know whether
should give this young man UP.
DOUBTFUL
If the young lady is madly in
love with the young man and he
calls for YOU every evening and
escorts you home, why don't you
put two and two together and real
ize that you have nothing to
worry about, unless you really
enjoy looking for troubled

YOU Built the Ships With Tax
Money
But YOU Won't Own Them.

Farmers through their representative Benjamin Marsh
at Washington, demand Government ownership of mer
chant vessels. This interests ALL Americans
If the Government owned and operated its ships, built
with money taken from the people the ships would be
managed for the benefit of farmers and other American
citizens, not for the benefit of few private
Low ocean freight rates that the farmer gets
for his wheat and his meat When his products
shipped to Liverpool and other foreign ports in competition
with similar products from South America, Australia and
Canada the American farmer must pay the difference in
freight.
Everybody knows that with American shipping owned
by private Individuals in the past the shipping rates
will constitute heavy handicap for the American producer
The people of the United States have built and
building 100000 tons of shipping.
Mr. Hurley who represents the President head of the
Shipping Board suggests that these ships built with the
peoples money be sold to private individuals for great
deal less than they COST and that they be operated with ALL
the profit to private owners NONE to the Government
tits suggested that these private buyers at bargain
prices of the peoples property be permitted to put the ships
under any foreign fag which would that they would
have the right operate them with Chinese labor any
other cheap labor in defiance of the American labor laws and
labor cost
There never outrageous suggestion made in
regard to any public matter
The farmers and newspapers representing them should
make it their business let Congress and the President
know that the people did pay hundreds of millions in
to build ships to be turned at bargain prices
private individuals that those private individuals might
plot farmers manufacturers and American exports and
imports generally.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

them, ! came here because OF the
adventure and the experience such
work offered but after I arrived
patriotic feelings got hold Of me.
and l have done my best by my
work
notice a great many letters from
boys and girls lamenting that there
are no more old-fashioned. sweet
simple girls. l have read this with
keen interest, but never have I
read a letter lamenting that the
old fashioned Chivalrous gentlemen
were no more. Men talk about
girls being too wise" and out for
fun and amusement, but they don't
give the girls a chance to be good,
and il they are, they are passed by
as poor sports" Yet these same
boys are always wishing they could
meet a girl like Mother.
They put up the Mother" plea,
then go out and trample on the
finer feelings OF a girl who was
born OF just as good a mother as
they ever had. II they want an
ideal girl. give all girls a chance
to prove their ideals. At pres
ent. we have to expand our ideals
and methods 20 be able to cope
with the men Of today.
1t Is pretty much of a fifty-ffty
basis after all. and when you get
to lamenting that there are no
more old-fashioned girls like
Mother or Grandmother, please re-
member that there are no old
fashioned gentlemen like Father
