seen Nicoll entertaining them royal
ly with dinners and motor rides and
teas and as much Irritation as she
could infuse into the program.
.Of course you can't" Janet re-
torted. amiably enough. What do

Nicoll

agine friend husband will be rather
merry at your dropping the business
woman role for q while and being
just wife-eh, what? He always
talks that way"
Janet was too absorbed in her prob
lem to resent the tiny hint of slur
that might or might not have been
an intentional part Of Nicolls remark.
She insisted firmly upon leaving the
Hill Farms Inn that very afternoon,
and went to her room directly lunch
was over to pack and make ready for
the motor trip homeward
She gladly left Nicoll and Mrs. Graf
ton to amuse themselves for few
hours. Dorothea and two-idle-rich
young friends of hers promptly drew
Nicoll into bridge game.
Her luggage and herself at last
ready, Janet sank rather tiredly into
big chintz chair in the hotel writing
room to think things over and await
the finish of the card bout
So the end of her splendid, promis-
ing work in Temples Office had come!
And David Temple himself-how sick
ening 1t was that a man with such
capability, such honesty of purpose
and such dreams for the betterment of
human kind must be beaten back by
gang of repacious political grafters!
And Cora. his wife! All her work
among the tenement poor; her moth
ers' clubs, her nursery for half-starv-
ed kiddies, her settlement house and

reau," just started-all to be handi-
capped and interrupted, if not dis
rupted altogether!
Janet glanced about her at the
guests of the expensive hotel where
she had spent her month Of idleness

rorted that they were charged far
higher prices than the old prices plus
the new tax Much Of this overcharg

misinterpretations Of the law by sales
people. In other cases. however. adj

THE MARYs AND MARGARETs.

Cedar Rapids Republican: "If one
had as much money as Margaret
Carnegie. than one spring
bride may have said to herself. But
why envy the bride with reputed
six hundred millions? Happiness
does not consist in money. We hope
that Margaret Carnegie is happy as
bride. But it is not her money
that can make her SO. Love, after
all, has great deal more to do with
that desideratum, that great human
equation. Money is a nice thing to
have, But there are things that are
more to be desired. Good health is
one of them And a good disposi-
ton is another.
To move into a palatial home
after an elaborate wedding and
bridal tour, to have everything sup
piled on plates of silver and gold
may seem like dream to some OF
us who have to get along with less.
But is there not something of happi-
ness in getting along with less? In
thinking and planning and striving
and even in saving? To have some
thing to do and something to work
for and for young man and a
young woman in the hottest OF all
human relations to start out doing
these things for themselves-well,
we cannot. disassociate such things
from happiness. The highest happf-
ness comes not always from the
things that are done for us, but
from the things that we do for our
selves. 1t is the creative spirit in
/ us that yields the most satisfaction,
the doing of things and seeing them
prosper under our own hands
The Marys in their vinecIad cot
tages may, after all, be happier than
the Margarets in their gilded pal
aces. And as there are more Of the
Marys than of the Margarets, let us
at least think so and when we think
lit is So may be 1t will be SO.

OUR FARMER SOLDIERS.

The west and middle west are clamoring for
the early rehabilitation of their farmer sol
1iers; the men are coming back rapidly now but
The western and middle west states complain
that they are not getting their quotas as rapidly
as the eastern states and they urge that they
need their farm fighters more than any indus
Try needs its men from overseas. The govern
ment is continually urging maximum food pro-
auction. The farm workers of this section Of
HE country are far less likely to hold aloof from
their former employment than the workers on
the smaller farms in the east. Farming on a
large scale is more likely to hold the interest of
The returning men, and the unemployment
which is confronting the east is less of prob
lem here. There is dire danger to our food pro
lluction In delay Of returned labor to the land.
Whatever can be done to hasten the demobiliza-
Zion of our farm workers who are ready to re-
Eun to their old jobs ought to be done at once.

A sHIFTY DEMAGoGUE.

There is reason to believe that Carranza IS
still under German influence as he has been
ever since the war began; and he is credited now
with trying to protect German holdings in
Mexico against the indemnities the conference
demands Mexico is the only American repub-
lie which denounces the Monroe doctrine; yet
that doctrine is probably the only thing that
has kept her present nominal chief IN power
But for it Mexico would have been by this time
q dependency of some foreign nation or par
celled ont among several. Carranza's German
ism has been SO evident that Great Britain and
France refused to accept his ambassadors ana
he recently ordered them to quit those countries
and go to Spain. His unfrlendliness to Ger
many's enemies has been marked that the en-
tente powers have not invited Mexico to join
the league; and it does not appear that the
American commissioners made any attempt to
change the allied view. Time has confirmed
the original opinion of many Americans that
Carranza is a shifty demagogue; and that sew
eral things must happen down there, including
his elimination before Mexico can have stable
government in friendly relations with the rest
of the world.
