GREETINGS FROM SISTER READY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: IL has been some time since I sent letter to our beloved Corner5 not from lack Of interest but just a lack of some thing to say.
 I wonder if you who were of the first writers remember 8 message I sent one week when was one of its Leonard Bridge writers" It was, If you cannot do large things. do small things largely!" And that is now just what want to do! I want to say a good many things and put them in as small a compas as possible. so the Editor will not say, Step aside. please, to give someone else a chance"
 I attended both the October and November gatherings at Franklin hall, the new place for Club No. l. To me 1t did seem good to he able to ewing around and feel as | you were going to poke some one with your elbows or step on some one's toes.

BRIGHT RAYS REMEDY,

Dear Social Corner and Perplexed: The many answers that you received, didn't give my remedy.
 Take few minutes the first thing every morning, and again the last thing at night, to affirm your oneness with God. your purity in and by God, and think Harmony. Tn the morning you do it to keep your thoughts for the day In the evening you do it to keep your thoughts while you sleep. Between times try not to think about 1t; but when you do happen to, affirm Harmony, and purity. Also forgive others as you would be for given. Forgiving blesses the forsiv- CT.

 So much patience and tact is needed where two persons. perhaps opposites ta character and personalities. live in 6o close relationship of husband and wife. If the wife truly loves her hus- band. as she ought to, or else she DGghl not to have married him. and with the love has patience and tact ghe can usually quietly mould him into her way of thinking.
 There IS no need of any man or wo- man trying to get along without the EYace of God in their hearts, and thus make shipwreck of their lives, for it is p1ade plain in the Bible that whosoever will may become heirs of His goodness by accepting the Savior as their Re- deeme., and serving Him.

But What Will "Pussyfoot" Do?

Much thanks is due to SirArthur Conan Doyle
for having given us heaven filled with all
those things we take delight in here below, and
excluding the unpleasant His addition of rum
and tobacco to the other details will go far to
persuade those who have been inclined to look
a little slantingly at the vision sent down from
Patmos. Something is lacking, though. The
Doyle hereafter makes no provision for the spe-
cal reward to be achieved by austerity and
piety in this life, nor does it seem to hold much
for the "Pussyfoot" Johnsons, unless they will
have their pleasure in the coming world as they
have found it in this, through enforcing their
own ideas Of meat and drink on those who do
not agree with them. We trust Sir Arthur will
look again, to see if this obscurity can not be
removed. 1t would be too bad if the we'll
meaning who have so faithfully denied them
selves in this life were to find their efforts vain,
and be required to endure in the spirit land
those things they have religiously eschewed in
this. More information on this point is de-
sirable. s'r

"Swuiqht from the Shoulder

We commend the resolutions of the Amer
lean Legion on conscientious DIRECTORS to the
secretary of war as interesting literature for his
perusal under his evening lamp. -
Whether Mr.. Baker knows it or not, the
sentiment expressed by the men of the Legion
on the performance of the War department in
dealing with conscientious DIRECTORS, especially
those at Fort Leavenworth, is exactly in line
with the feeling of the public on this matter, so
far as we have been able to sense it,
They probably do not intend to be unfair to
the few real conscientious directors who, while
unwilling to carry arms and fight, were willing
ton of the war; 1t is the miserable slackers
who tried to hide behind spurious claims to
conscientious objections that have so provoked
the indignation of the FIRST class fighting men,
and brought out from them an indictment of the
secretary of war which is as deserved as it is
terrific.
When Stacker can get out of prison, where
he has resisted every requirement of military
discipline and has done his utmost to show his
contempt for his country and the government,
with an honorable discharge the men from the
trenches have right to feel, as they express it.
"shamed and dscredited" by this elevation of
the Stacker to the plane of an honorably dis
charged soldier.
There is no doubt in our opinion that the
conduct of the War department in pardonng
and honorably discharging these pusillaninous
scoundres with back pay and allowance and
encouraging disoyalty and we are glad that the
young men of the Legion told the War depart
ment in plain English what they think about it
and how keenly they feel the inferential slight
which it has put upon them.-Minneapolis

First, we need nine arches. Get
the largest wire hairpins you can
find and bend them like this (see

mould some feet for them of putty
or gum. You can harden this quick
ly by placing the finished arches on
the kitchen range, with the asbestos
cover under them.
"Or we might make the feet for
the arches out of little pieces of CT
gar box wood, with holes in them
for the ends of the hairpins. You
can't bore such hole without split
ting the wood, but you can burn it
with a nail heated red hot in the
kitchen range. Handle the nail with
pinchers or drive it through piece
of wood to form a handle.

Strike Against High Prices.

A movement has been inaugurated in New
York that may be practical way of meeting
the high cost of food. Consumers are vountar-
lily abstaining from the purchase of milk on
three days in the week. Dealers put up the
price to an exorbitant figure, and now find their
sales curtailed by the action of indignant Gus
toners. If the plan becomes general, the end
is in plain sight. The remedy is suggested by
the Council of National Defense. If it works
out all right in New York, other communities
might try it, and it need not be confined to
milk alone. As soon as the prohteers find the
public is willing to get along without the arti
Giles on which unreasonable selling prices have
been fixed, the quicker will be the return to a
basis where the man who pays the bills will
have chance. Passing the buck has no place
in this for with everybody in it, there will be
no goat"

Working the Same Old Game

The New York Stock Exchange turns SOL
EMMY from the great wreck in certain paper
values to inquire nnocently if the Federal
reserve system is "functioning properly" 1t
was believed, says the Wall Street Journal,
thatsthis system was inaugurated ito prevent
panics, lamb shearng' and inside manipula-
ton" But, "t is alleged the money powers
are working the same old game"
The same old game" has undoubtedly been
working, but by whom and where! To note
only few examples, how and where did it come
about that within few months, and mostly
within few weeks the quoted value of Repub..
Baldwin Locomotive al per cent of General
Motors 228 per cent and of Crucible Steel 402
per cent? By whom if not by inside" pools Of
manipulators arbitrarily forcing up the quota
tons and point by point drawing in the lambs"
as of old and then unloading the towering mass
upon them just as of old? And where. except
under the very eyes of the governors of the
New York Stock Exchange and openly with the
help of machinery there still provided?
Up TO this point it is indeed the same old
story But from this point and far short Of the
general panic which commonly used to follow
from such speculative excesses there may be
another story This is because the Federal
Reserve System is funetioning. 1t has been
restrained by its obligations to the money mar
set in floating the Victory loan, but that re-
straint is now off, The manipulation has gone
ON in the face of repeated warnings from the
reserve board and banks and conservative hnan-
eiers. Now the board and the banks in a
position to give force to their warnings, But
what has become of those powers within the
Stock Exchange itself that were to make that
institution function properly ?"-New York

POCKET VETO FOR TREATY.

According to Senator Hitchcock, the presi-
dent will pocket the peace treaty if it is ratified
with the so-called Lodge reservations. This is
the word brought from conference between
the president and the senator at the White
House on Monday.
II has but one significance. Mr.. Wilson is
determined to have his own way at home,
whether he could or not abroad. In the con-
ference at Paris he continually gave way to the
judgment OF representatives Of other countries.
He even forebore to present his own draft Of !
covenant for 4 league of nations In difference
to General SHUTS Of the South African Union.
He permitted Sir Robert Borden Of Canada to
insert clauses and change workings to make the
document more acceptable to Canadians But
when he gets home, he demands that the
United States senate abandon its constitutional
duty and become rubber stamp.
The senate of the United States is 4 co-or-
dinate branch Of the federal government, and
part Of the treaty making machinery of the
United States. The president has power to
negotiate treaties, but they only can be ratified
with the consent of the senate. Mr.. Wilson
knew this when he went alone to Paris, ignor-
ing the senate completely.
He had ample warning that part of the work
he, had set about did not have approval of the
nation. In November last he was rebuked as
no other president of the United States ever
was. In the recent elections in Kentucky and
Oklahoma the popular voice distinctly regis
tered against the League of Nations This
might suggest to an ordinary man that he had
mistaken his own for popular opinion.
But Woodrow Wilson is not an ordinary
man. He refuses to take counsel with any, but
gives orders to congress and expects to see
them carried out without question. A majority
of the senate is no longer subservient to his i'm
pefious will, therefore the United States shall
have no treaty of peace
And yet the war was fought to do away with
autocracy in all forms

Sublimated Soviet Impudence.

If conditions were only little different,
Ludwig c. A. X. Martens would readily be
classified with Artemus Wards kangaroo as an
"amoosin' little cuss." Under existing circum-
stances he is an irritation. Martens writes to
Secretary Lansing protesting against treatment
accorded certain subjects of soviet Russia, and
proposing that he be permitted to pay the fare
of all who wish to depart from this land of OPP
preston and return to the freedom and oppor-
tunity offered by the bolsheviki.
Secretary Lansing will find little difficulty
in permitting the passage from here to there of
any of Mr. Mertens' prosecuted countrymen. 1t
will not be forgotten, though, that these men
and women are here as unlimited guests, avow-
eddy come to aid in overturning our govern
ment If they have been prosecuted or abused,
it is because the federal authorities have be-
stirred themselves to discourage the benevolent
purpose of the visiting bolsheviki. With fore
shortened opportunity of heaving bombs and in
the presence of somewhat indurated resolve
on part of the local proletariat to rely on three
meals day and the movies at night, instead of
the hunger and cold and wretchedness that
goes with the world from which capital has
been banished these apostles of anarchy natur-
ally are disappointed.
Then Mr.. Martens has also sustained some
what grevous injury. He bobbed up little
over year ago, announcing himself as envoy
from the soviet government, but failed to OBJ
tain recognition. This fornality would not
have mattered so much, but it involved title to
several millions dollars worth of material pur-
chased by the Russian government and not yet
delivered. Moreover, a checking account of
$50000000 was at the disposal of the man who
had the endorsement of Uncle Sam as the rep
resentative Of Russia. Little wonder the gen
tleman feels hurt, and wants to get away from
a country that welcomed him so coldly
