When Katherine Lee was a senior
in college she did what most of her
classmates and most of the seniors in
other colleges did. She applied for
position as teacher in several coun-
try high schools
Like most of the rest of the girls
she accepted a school in small town
where she would have to teach three
subjects six days a week for the sum
of fifty dollars a month. This was
small return for the amount of work
she did, to say nothing of the time
and money spent in educating her
self for the work. 1t never occurred
| to her to try anything else until she
| had given up three years of her life
| to training the young minds of the
country.
At the end of three years she was
getting eighty-five dollars month
and the prospects of ever getting
any more money were not very bright.
She would have to become principal
and most of the principals were men.
| Katherine was becoming a little
dissatisfied although she scarcely
knew it herself 1t was not until
| one vacation when she was back in
her home in a large city that she
| realized that she no longer wanted to
teach. Her best friend was writing
advertising for one of the large de-
| partment stores. She was earning
twice as much as Katherine and was
getting much more enjoyment and
pleasure out of her work.
Changes Her Work
| Come work for me, l need an as

crime returned to the store with her

started to work that very afternoon.
She got courage enough to show

month. but she decided that if she
learned anything about advertising
| the money did not matted. Her duties

BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
fifteen years of age am in love
with boy of twenty-three and he
says he loves me. ! have known him
six months and loved him from the
first. He works at the same place 1
do and l see him all the time. He
doesn't go with any of the girls and
thinks | am too young to go with a
boy. He said If I still cared for him
a year from now he would go with
me. l try not to care for him, but
cannot help it.
CD Do you think he loves me?
CD Do you think he Is right by
not going with me now?
(3) All the boys like me and want
to go with me, but l don't go with
them as 1 love this boy. Am l right
to wait a year and then 60 with him
BLUE EYES.
O I do not believe the boy loves
you or he would want to go with you
now in spite of his better judgment.
! do belive, however, that he regards
you as a very dear friend and wants
to protect you against going with boys
before you are old enough. You
should be thankful if this is his atti-
tude.
(2) l do think he is right by not
going with you now.
(3) Do not think of going with
any boy for at least a year. Even
then you will be very young. Try
not to think about the boy, because
the more you do the more you will
love him, and If anything happens
that he does not go with you at the
end of the year your heart will be
broken.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
sixteen years old. l will graduate
next year, before l am seventeen
years old. and so l am up with my

When the war started ! was going
with a young man and he enlisted
and went to France and was gone
over a year. He came home a few
weeks ago and hasn't been to see me
yet. l don't want to be too serious
with him, but l love him very much.
My parents approve of him and think
it all right for me to go with him.
/ have written to him all the time
he was gone and he wanted me to be
true to him. He has my picture and
have his. When he was in camp /
received three or four letters a week
from him. In every one he was al
ways saying what we would do when
he got back home. Whenever he sees
me he speaks real nice, but doesn't
stop and talk.
1 think some of the girls that want
to go with him have told him things
that are not true. What shall I do,
go and talk to him and tell him they
are not true or wait and see if he
will come and ask me if they are so
or not?
could go with many other boys,
but don't want to. l like him best,
as he is certainly a perfect gentle
man.
If get to talk to him would it be
proper to ask him down some Sun
day for dinner? A BLONDE.
Do not invite the young man to
dinner He is showing by his actions
that he does not care for your com
pany any longer, and no matter what
his reason, you would not compromise
yourself by running after him.
He is not the only desirable young
man in town. Sometime you will
look back on this experience and
realize that he was most unkind and
you were foolish to be unhappy be-
cause of him.

Victory Loan in April.

Washington, D. c., Feb. TO-. The
Victory Liberty loan to be offered
to the American people in
April will be for approximately $4,000
100000 and will consist of short term
bonds providing comparatively high
return to the investor.
These prospects, were indicated by
letter Secretary of the Treasury
Glass addressed tonight to Chairman
Kitchin of the house committee on
ways and means and the draft of a
bill providing for future issues OF
bonds which accompanied the letter.
With Representative Kitchin and
Senator Smoot agreeing that the ex
penses of the government next year
will be SlO,OO0OO0,OO whereas the
tax revenue will be only 1000, 600, OOC
it is apparent that the forthcoming
loan will not end the war borrowing
from the people. While taxes may be
increased it is certain that another
loan will be necessary during the next
fiscal year and possibly others there
after.
To make the bonds attractive to in
yestors Mr.. Glass proposes that he be
clothed with authority to increase the
interest rate on short term securities
oay premiums at maturity, and ex
empt future and past bonds from tax
ation.

After the War Agriculture.

Now that farming is to be restored to a
peace-time basis the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture believes that many lands
formerly devoted to pasture or meadow but
recently used for emergency grain production
should be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the armistice found the Uni
ted States with relatively large supplies of
foods and relatively small supplies Of feeds,
with much lands somewhat impoverished by
having been planted to grain year after year,
and with still urgent demand for.meat and
fats
Numbers of all classes of live stock have
been maintained. Those of swine and sheep
have been increased, the former largely, the
latter slightly. But the quantities of forage
and, pasturage for live stock have been diEnin-
ished.
Sound agricultural practice demands the re-
establishment of regular and satisfactory ro-
tations so that fertility may be restored and
the live stock carrying capacity increased.
Live stock, since it helps to retain fertility
on the land, provides profitable use for large
amounts of roughage and gives employment to
labor throughout the year, should find place
on larger number of farms
Diversified farming should become more
general, to the end that each farm shall pro-
duce the necessary food for its family and the
necessary feed for its live stock.
Loss from preventable plant diseases should
be guarded against by seed treatment and
spraying.
Harvesting of fruits and vegetables before
exposure to frost, and greater care during har-
vesting, packing storing, and marketing, are
urged together with continued organized eff
forts for the prevention and control of disc asses
of animals.

Caring for Surplus Material.

Maj. Gen. Goethals, chief Of the
purchase, storage, and traffic division
of the war department, asked the
house military affairs committee toI
an appropriation Of S6o,000,O0O to be
used in storing the enormous quaint
ties of surplus war supplies in posses
sion of the department. He said
S3O,O0O,00O would be needed for the
rental of storage houses and 0,00O,-
600 for maintenance.
Thousands of tons of supplies are
being brought back to this country
from France, Gen. Coethals told the
committee, and the ports of debark-
alton are becoming congested because
no storage places are available. He
said much of the material was being
left out in the open and that the gov
eminent was losing heavily by its de
terioration. The same condition, he
said, prevailed at some of the army
camps.
He estimated the value of the I'M
stored supplies at billions of dollars
and said everything used by the army
was included. Some OF the material
can be disposed of, he said, but most
of it must be stored until either mar
keb can absorb it or the government
find use for it.

1856 Buried at Br0st.

An official report has been made of
burials at Brest of American soldiers
during the occupancy of that port by
the American expeditionary forces.
The figures include those men who
died after being brought ashore at
Brest from transports before October,
the month in which influenza was at
it's height, and those who died in
Brest among the sick and wounded
brought from various hospitals on
their way home.
The report shows burials prior to
October to have been a. and d6ring
October 1856. P0ntanezan camp was
not then open.
In November the burfals numbered
SO, and in December 50, of which 35
were at Pontanezen; in January SO, of
which So were at Pon5anezen. while
in February, up to date, there have
been s burials, all at Pontanezen.
This gives total of 1866.
Daily admissions to the hospital dur
ing December amounted to one in
every Thousand. The sick during the
first week in January numbered LBS
per cent. The sick reported during
remainder of January numbered 2.3
per cent.
The average strength of the troops
during December was 1882, and dur
ing January, 57,698.

How Much Gan Germany Pay?

Germany paid out more than thirty
million dollars trying to subjugate
Europe; paid it to herself, however.
Much of it was paid to feed and clothe
several million Germans under arms;
almost all OF it was paid within the
country.
The question now is, How much
can she pay outside the country? Ex-
cepting four million tons or so of
merchant shipping she has at present
very little that she can pay with.
The German states own big railroad
system, worth a good many hundreds
of millions of dollars. But it cannot
be removed to Belgium and France.
If Ter creditors took it they would
have to operate it where it is and pay
the cost of operation and upkeep out
of revenues. All tney would have to
apply on the debt would be surplus
.income above the coststof operation
and upkeep That is finally the case
with the whole question. Germany
can pay only what she can produce
above the sustenance of her popula-
tion and upkeep of plant. Her situa
tion is practically that Of a bankrupt
railroad. The creditors have nothing
to look to except what the concern
can produce above operating cost and
upkeep.
The bill will be enormous. But in
the case of Germany, there is no use
talking of enormous payments for
PREPARATION on the one hand and
of crippling the country's productive
capacity on the other A capable
and unsentimental reorganization
committee ought to sit on the Ger
man case for the purpose of deter
mining how much the debtor can
pay under tile best conditions as to
productivity that can reasonably be
brought about with safety to her
opponents.

MOZART LADIES'

Is Third Number of Lyceum
Course for Eagle River.
Preceding Two Can
celled by Flu Ban.

Lovers of good music and good en-
tertainment will have an opportunity
Tuesday, February 25th, to hear the
celebrated Mozart Ladies' Quartet at
the court house in Eagle River. The
quartet, directed by NJ arie e. Viol,
lately returned from the Royal Acad-
envy Of Music in Europe, presents a
program of vocal and INSTRUMENTS
quartets, trios, solos, duets, costumed
numbers and readings winning high
comment from all who have heard
them. This attraction has been Sc
cured through the University Lyceum
Bureau-the same source from which
have come all the good things in lyce-
UNI work Eagle River audiences have
enjoyed for several seasons past.
The local committee had arranged
for four-number course for this sea-
son, but the state wide ban on public
gatherings made necessary by the sin
fluenza epidemic early this winter,
prevented the first number, the Shu-
bert Sextette, from appearing. The
second number was cancelled early in
January on account of the local ban.
The Mozart Ladies' Quartet is the
third number. Jessie Rae Taylor.
reader, will present the fourth num-
Der at a future date.
But for the. university bureau it
would be impossible for places the
size of Eagle River to secure such
high class entertainment. In the sea-
sons past, local people have been
privileged to hear some of the best
talent in lyceum work and The forth
coming humber will reach the same
high standard of popularity. it being
a versatile organization of much
merit.
