recognized the sound as made by some
one walking along the leafy floor. She
crouched behind the trunk and peered
forth to see who it was.
Presently he appeared, an angular
young fellow, with hair that bordered
on yellow, wearing a striped green
and red shirt. blue overalls and boots
that were like snow shovels. Over a
shoulder was slung a peculiar instru-
ment that looked like a telescope on
three legs. 1t was a surveyors tram
sit.
Before boarding the train Mae wrote
telegram and handed it thru the
ticket window to the combined station
agent and operator. The address on
the telegram contained the name OF
Paul Mccormick.
"Thirty-five cents,' said the oper-
ator, after reading the message and
checking the number of words. Mae
paid for it, while a strange little smile
flickered over her face.
A short time later she looked out the
window of the train as 1t sped on its
way toward Cleveland. Fading in the
distance were the hills and woods that
hid from view the home she was leav-
ing. She smiled and, turning from the
window, addressed her seat compan-
ion:
I'm glad I didn't go yesterday as
had planned, Joe; and I'm glad the
telegram I sent said mo- instead OF
yes"

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
By DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Model Wife,.

"The difficulty Of being a model
wife" said a woman the other day, lis
that in order to please your husband
and live up to his expectations, a wife
must always be a this years model.
Last years model wife doesn't go with
him.
1T would be easy enough to be d
model wife if a man continued to be
satisfied with the model that he pick
ed out, and if he would settle on the
particular line of charms and virtues
that he desired in his wife and stick
to specifications. But he doesn't.
He gets tired of the very qualities
that caused him to select the particu-
lar woman he did for a wife, just as
he gets tired of the shape, size and
fcolor of his old automobile, and wants
to trade them in for something that's
fresh and shiny with red paint and
get all the new tangled alleged i'm
provements.
That's why the job of being a wife
in these days is about the most haZ-
ardous undertaking a woman can go
into. She can't settle down and de-
velop her talents along any one line
because she never knows when her
husband is going to demand that she
shall be something entirely different,
and want her to change from being a
limousine into a jitney, or convert her
self from being a jitney into limou-
sine, SO 10 speak, TO lTStdIl new
set of gears in her mental make up,
or to shift from low speed to high.
Suppose when a man was poor and
required a car in his business he went
out and bought a big strong motor
truck. out of which he got faithful
service for fifteen or twenty years.
and at the end of that time. when he
had made a fortune largely by the aid
of the truck, he suddenly became dis
gusted with it and wanted to send it
to the scrap heap because it was
heavy and cumbersome. and wasn't a
stream line racing car. We'd think him
crazy.
yet that's about the attitude thou
sands of men take towards their faith
full old wives as they approach middle
age. When the man was young and
poor. and needed an able bodied
working partner he married girl
who was in the motor truck class. She
| wasn't a show window ornament to
| begin with. but she was first aid to
prosperity. She cooked and sewed
washed. patched, mended, and did
her own baby tending, pulled and
hauled until she got her man upon
the firm road that leads to success.
and in those strenuous times you can
depend upon it that she was just
about the kind of a model wife that
| her husband wanted

THE NEXT LOAN.

Preparations by the treasury de-
partment are under way for floating
another loan of probably $4,000, o00,-
000.' The proceeds of previous loans
are exhausted and the government is
dependent upon the sale of treasury
certificates for money to carry on its
activities. The indications are that
Uncle Sam will be compelled to take
his chances in the market with other
borrowers. This means that he must
pay a higher rate. reaching possibly
to 5 per cent.
The war spirit, a very important
sided. and former appeals to patriot
ism by means of hurricane methods
would not now be effectual, especially
in view of the decline in all liberty is

loan," says Henry Ciews, must de-
pend more upon high sense of pub
lie spirit, upon intelligent self-interests
and upon meeting financial conditions

like labor and everything else, under
ordinary conditions will go where it
can command the highest returns.
There are other things in this con-
nection which are certain to attract
public attention. Many unnecessary
government activities are still main
tanned; many unnecessary bureaux are
endeavoring to make themselves per-
manent; many constructive works that
should be stopped are still going, while
hundreds of millions, if not billions,
could be saved during the current year
if there were only sufficient effort in
that direction. The people will not
be willing to let go their money at less
than this market price in order to
maintain a policy of this sort. Few
complaints were heard on this score
during the war but now lending mon
ey to the government has become a
cold blooded business proposition. If
the treasury officials do not realize
this already, they will when they at
tempt to float another loan.

~ 1t is announced by the city commits
sion that paving petitions will be ac-
r cepted and acted upon up to April 1.
No paving was done in Topeka last
year owing to the war conditions. 1t
can hardly be considered advisable to
let another year go by without action
on this much needed kind of improve
ment. Not only do many streets need
paving. but the welfare of the city de-
mands that every kind of contemplate
ed improvement be got under way at
the earliest possible date. 1t is re-
ported that Commissioner Tandy has
in mind the letting of contracts for
two new bridges. The commissioner
could not do a better thing than re-
lieve hin mind of the burden at once.
by starting the work of construction.
why should there be delay? Private
citizens are putting down their mon
ey for improvements at a time when
such action is most needed and two
building projects have been under
taken already. involving the expendi-
ture of approximately $4,000. The
city should not be a Stacker in the
campaign for a resumption of bust

WHEN WILL PRICES FAIJ,o

1t is generally expected that the
general tendency of prices will be
downward from present levels, but
there are counter influences which
will tend to hold the movement in
check. The most important of these
influences is the high cost of living,
which, owing to the situation in food
stuffs and clothing materials seems
not likely to decline much before an
other worlds crop has come to mar
ket. 1t is very desirable that the gen.
eral wage scale and living costs shall
decline together SO that the wage
Garner may lose nothing of his pres
ent command over the goods which
enter into his budget.
1t would be impossible by any con-
cert of action that can be imagined to
keep farm products at the present lev
ell. They are bound to follow the law
of supply and demand, and the de-
velopment which is going on in agri-
culture. together with the demobiliza-
ton of the armies will bring them
down. The farm tractor is an agency
which will have an important effect.
especially in the opening of new lands,
and there are numerous influences at
work. But when farm products come
down, so that the farmer is feeding
the industrial population at lower
prices, he will expect that the indus
trial products which he buys will also
I come down. 1t will be unfair to him
if they do not, and if they should not

farm and into the town industries I'M
til the equilibrium is restored by nat
ural forces.
1t is to be hoped that in these re-
adjustments all parties will gain some
thing, and that will be the case if they
all improve their methods and are 10y
al and fair to one another as partners
should be. They are all members OF
the productive organization, exchang-
! ing services with one another. and if
they all increase in efficiency. they
will all find their labors bringing
them larger returns. And no class can
increase its net earnings in any other
way without reducing the share of the
others.
1t is recognized that there are in
evitable difficulties about the transfer
of millions of men from the armies
and war industries. where their serv-
ices produce nothing for the public
market, back to the peace industries
where everything they produce must
be absorbed and taken off the market
by the public demand. 1t is evident
that there must be a general read
justment of trading relations, or il
other words. of wages and prices
which is a process that takes time. Il
cannot be regulated by any arbitrary
authority. 1t must work itself out.
There has been talk of having the
government fix minimum prices. tC

Commercial and Financial World, ou
it is evident that the government:
control over rising prices. altho no

in those ancient days. What did the
