HINES SAYS SHOPMEN
MUST RESUME WORK
Requests for More Pay Prob
able From Remainder of Is
Railroad Unions - Director
Declares Rate Problem In
volved.

Washington, I'd. C.-Increases for
railroad employees will be considered
by the railroad administration i'm
mediately after the last of the strik-
ing shopmen have returned to work,
Director General Hines said today.
Requests for increases are expected
to come from all of the Is railroad
unions which have not as yet pre-
sented demands.
Mr.. Hines said the problem of
freight rates was "inextrically bound
up" with the question of wage ad-
vances, indicating that the long-ex-
pected advance in rates probably
would not fully develop until the
wage demands were settled.

CORP. WILLIAM w. GOODWIN
MARRIES OXFORD BRIDE

Corp. William w. Goodwin, the
excellent son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe w.
Goodwin of Water Valley, and who
only recently returned to Ft. Sill,
Okla, surprised his many friends by
getting married as soon as he re-
turned to his camp.
Corp Goodwin is a member of an
aviation corpse located at Ft. Sill and
belongs to the "f1ying" section, max
ing almost daily flights. Lieut.. John
Pittman Stone, another Yalobusha
county boy, is Lieutenant in COM
mand.
Following is an account of Corp.
Goodwin's marriage, clipped from the
Oxford Eagle:
"The many friends Of Miss Dula
Lawhorn will be surprised to hear Of
her marriage July 29th, in Porto,
Okla, where she had gone to visit
friends. Mr.. Billy Goodwin, Of
Water Valley, was the lucky bride
groom. Mr.. Goodwin is one of our
brave soldiers stationed at Fort Sill
and came over to Porto and by his
eloquent persuasion prevailed on Miss
Dula to spring this surprise on her
Mississippi friends. After the mar
riage he returned to his camp and
Mrs. Goodwin returned to her home
where she continues as the popular
clerk in the Variety Store.
"Mr. Goodwin is well known to
Oxford pepole and is popular young
man of Water Valley, his home
town."

WOULD JAIL HOARD
ERS OF FOOD
U. S. Attorney General Pro-
poses New Law For Con-
gress-Is Direct Blow at
High Cost of Living.

Washington, d. C.-Important new
developments in the government 8
fight to reduce the high cost of liv-
mig came today.
One of the most interesting was
the announcement by Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer that the first federal con-
viction for profiteering had been OBJ
tanned. District Attorney Lucey
telegraphed from Binghampton, N.
Y, that a retail grocer had been
fined $500 for selling sugar at 15c a
pound. No details were given and
the law under which the case was
brought was not known here.
A few good cases of profiteeriHg
in each state will settle that trou-
ble," Mr.. Palmer remarked.
In order to bring to book persons
guilty of raising prices exorbitantly
or boarding food to advance prices,
Mr.. Palmer submitted to the agricul-
ture committee of Congress the draft
of an amendment to the food control
act extending its provisions to cloth
ing and containers of foods and feeds
and providing a penalty of $4,000
fine or two years Imprisonment or
both for violation of the law. Chair
man Haugen of the House commit
tee announced that the amendment
would be considered Immediately by
subcommittee and report might be
made tomorrow.
1t is Mr.. Palmer's idea that this
amendment should be considered be-
fore taking up other amendments
suggested by President Wilson to ex-
tend the effective life of the food
control act beyond the war period

were made to feel their good fortune
iE getting these bare necessaries.
Such social conditions have been at
the bottom of womens underpaid work
and have made womens work one of
the most difficult elements of adjust
ment in the labor market in the past.
1t is curious to think of this eXploita-
ton of an entire sex, going on genera
ton after generation, and the exploit
ers being the women of their own fam
lilies. One does not have to be very
old to recall the faithful spinster aunt
who did everything about a house that
everyone else left undone. She nursed
the sick, she sewed, she did all the
picking and preserving, and some
times she was rewarded with cast
oft garment or a pair of shoes.
A sort of humorous pity hung about
her, because she had missed the only
successful career open to women in
these days-marrage All the coarse
fun of the playwright to get married
and exchange her unpaid slavery for
Il ''home of her own"

As the light of Jim's words dawned
on me l gave a mental gasp, and
did some arithmetic of the sort
known as putting two and two to-
gether. OF course, when Daisy spoke
of trying TO retaliate and gasped
out that she couldn't take what was
mine. l thought of my ring-not of
my husband. When she told me that
she'd been to Jim's office, l thought
it was to restore the ring-not TO
try to steal Jim! But his words
made it clear.
Last night. over the bridge table
where Daisy and Jim discovered IN
playing for stakes their first taste
in common. she had met him as an
equal. For the first time Jim had
been cordial to her-respectful, even,
as he measured her truly expert
game against my blundering one.
And that had given the girl her
idea. Her retaliation" had been
an effort to "vamp" Jim from me,
as she insisted on thinking l was
taking Carl from her.

laughed heartily and unaffectedly.
'EXtraVagant? |? Why. Jimmie
boy, you've always teased me about
being such a little tightwad. And
If take a little gamble on old
friends - is that half as bad as
gambling on cards and horses?"
Jim didn't condescend to answer.
He turned to his desk and swung
round with sheaf of papers in his
hand.
"Ill sot call you tightwad again
in hurry, worse luck" he num-
bled fumbling among the papers
and thrusting certain ones at me
vindictively. Here's your bill from
Wickham's, one from the shoe place
and another from the garage where

Advice to the Lovelorn
AN INDIGNANT LOVER.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 have been engaged since the
first of the year For the past few
months my hnancee has tried sew
eral times to make engagements
with other men. She excuses herself
by saying that she cannot forget
her former acquaintances, but that
these mon, will disappear in due
time. Still, as soon as one pass es
on another appears. I am not seek
ing sympathy. but advice. What l
desire to know is whether her ac-
tions will keep up after our mar
risge and what chances I am TAX
ing. NJ.
I haven't any way OF knowing
whether you fnancce's conduct has
been reprehensible. Perhaps it has.
But I must confess that your own
course invites criticism. don't
see how any young woman can toll
crate your attitude Of suspicion and
distrust. If you have an actual
grievance against her have it out"
with her. Otherwise, show that you
respect her and have confidence in
her. For my own part l cannot see
that any disloyalty to you is involv-
I'd in her seeing other old friends oc-
casionally, since your engagement is
known, but that is a matter young
engaged couples have to decide for
themselves. The thing for you to do
is talk this over thoroughly with
your bethrothed. If she agrees to
your restrictions, you should prom
ise what she asks of you in return.

While l was speaking l planted a
kiss on the top of Jim's head in an
unembarrassed fashion I'm not in

strangers are about. And Uncle
Ned's shrewd, keen, intensely blue
eyes enveloped me in the same

hand showed when it swallowed
mine in greeting.
