John for ten years and he has Just
reached the place IN LIE where seven
marriages out Of ten begin to fail.
I wanted to teu nm 20 much Wflinh

these days how to DO happy after the

Is the mistaken befef that when once

Little by little the trials and tribula-
tons Of married life with strange
new responsibilities added, bring
frowns and GissatIsfactions and discon

top and come out ahead. For few
years marriage is like wading deeper
and deeper into river with strong
current. When the water goes over
ones head; It's case OF either drown
or come gasping TO the surface-and
for long time afterward ones breath
comes uncertainty.

tired of marriage. But want to do
what is right. Please tell me way to

Greater Fair1nont and Its Manufacturing,
Commercial and Industrial ENTERPRISES
What Shall The
Answer Be?

1HS WOTlu IS ulNlueu lnLO TWO ClaSSeSS
the burden bearers and the burden
,Shirkers.
To which class do you belong?
The nation asks you now to range
yourself on one side or the other and to
stand with the burden bearers OF the
burden strikers, and yet it does not ask
you to assume any burden in doing this.
On the contrary, it offers you the most
gilt-edged security in the world for every
dollar it asks you to invest in Victory
Bonds. 1t gives you the opportunity of
becoming bond holder in the mightiest
nation of earth, and in doing so to have
the satisfaction Of knowing that you
have done your duty to your country.
This is your nation and your Govern
ment. Its honor is your honor; its debts
are your debts, and it's achievements are
your achievements, to the extent that
you do your part.
This nation is made up of one hundred
million individuals. It has no power ex-
cept as each individual does his part.
Every man who fails to do his part is
burden shirker, and is making someone
else carry his burden.
The call for subscriptions to Victory
Bonds has gone forth throughout the
land. The glamor and tragedy of
mighty war, which stirred the nations
patriotism to it's utmost depths, are to
some extent lacking, because the actual
fighting has apparently ceased. But the
army is still in the field; the great fight
ing machine cannot be abandoned; it's
expenses to some extent must still go on.
Because the glamor has for the moment
passed, there is all the more reason why
every patriot should work with redoub-
led energy to make the Victory Loan
greater success than were any of the
Liberty loans.
This is the nations call to the man.
hood and womanhood of the country.
What shall the answer be?

HENDERSON, BRITISH LABOR LEADER

The result of the by-election OF
Widnes, Lancaster, in which Arthur
Henderson, the labor leader, was
elected to the house Of commons, Is
considered severe blow to the coali-
tion government. Henderson said his
victory was IAN emphatic eondemna-
tion Of the coalition government
policy and of the cynical political COM
promise upon which the government
rests" Henderson's recent express
sions of his views include these:
"The present world unrest means
that the old order Of things is In its
death throes, that a new society Is
about to come to its birth and that age
long injustices and inequalities that
burdened the lives of the common peo-
nile are to be swept away. Class rule
in politics is doomed, but 1t is still
doubtful whether the ideal of true po-
litical liberty will be realized In this
or other countries without violent
convulsfSn OF society. The main prob
lem now is to restore popular confiden

JAMES R. RIGGS A BORN FARMER

The new assistant secretary of ag-
riculture, James r. Riggs, is a farmer
not merely by way of interest in the
subject, but by lifelong, practical ap-
plication. Farming has been his pri-
mary occupation all his life. More
than that, he is farmer by heredity.
His grandfather, Hezekiah Riggs, was
born on a farm in LOudOn county, Vir-
gtnia, in 1871. When he was twenty
two years old he mOyed to Sullivan
county, Indiana, and engaged in farm
ing and live stock growing. There
Commodore Perry Riggs, father of the
assistant secretary, was born and
there he spent his life as a farmer and
stock grower. All of his sons and all
of his sons sons have been farmers.
James R. Riggs was born at Shell
burn, Ind, February II, 1865. For two
years after graduation from the Sulli-
vah county high school, in 1882, he
was deputy county treasurer and
bookkeeper for a hardware and lumber
firm. In 1885, when he was twenty yea

GOVERNORS FAVOR BUDGET SYSTEM

Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas
says of the movement to establish a
national budget system: The war
emphasized strongly the inadequacies
of our legislative machinery in prob
lens of national finance. No private
business concern would dare to rush
blindIy into things as does congress.
This IS because congress lacks SOUND
system of providing public money for
the operation OF the ten major eXecu-
tive departments. The work of these
agencies can be established only
through the adoption of new melhou
of budgetary procedure"
Governor Allen is one of - gov
ernOrs who are reported by the ma
tional budget committee to favor the
substitution of the budget system 1oF
the present system of departmental eS-
Inmates. The governors made many
remedial suggestions, including the 1ol-
lowing:

MONTENEGRO AN
INTRIGUE VICTIM
Alexander Devine Declares
Nations Have Ignored Ex-

LONDON. March 26- CBy mail)
Charges that Montenegro. the
smallest Of the allies. has been a
victim or intrigue during the war.
are made by Alexander Devine Of
Winchester. a friend OF the little
Balkan country. In a letter OF com
plant 10 Premier Lloyd George Mr..
Devine writes:
The great feature Of intrigue
has been to ignore her existence as
z separate country. then 10 protest
that fraternal confederation with
her was most desirable; and final
IL to deliberately attempt 20 absorb
her existence and nationality"
Mr. Lloyd George replied that he
hoped and believed that the inter
ests OF Montenegro would be amply
protected at the peace conference
