One lone soul on the prairies. I,

Hail, far spark in the deepening

One and only!
We are first in the things we do.
But we're lonely.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW, SAY so:
THEN ASK SOME QUESTIONS
nat Was What Captain Moriay Did When Conversaiion
Switched to Amei'a CailtCurc-Only in Youth Is One
Permitted to Be AHWise!

'HOW grand ana glorious It 10 to
Ii hear some one tell the truth on
occasions like thisi Captain Moriarity
had a singing voice that would en-.
trance the heart Of you, but he had
never heard OF Galli.Curci and he
was there to say so. And every one
at the table liked him the better be-
cause he did say so.
Oh, the bluffs we make about the
books We have never read, the plays
We have never seen and the persons
we have and the persons we have not
heard Of! Some of us get over It
but others of us never do. I have
heard perfectly sensible-looking men
on trains arguing about war terms
which, for all they seemed to know
about them, might have been men,
mountains or machine guns.
When we speak Of failings we al
ways make concessions for youth.
Youth is that glorious period when
we have the right to be as solemnly
wise as We please and when we are
not supposed to have the slightest
idea that ignorance is the beginning Of
real knowledge. But there comes the
speak she might say: Come, come
you have spent enough time knowing
1t is time for you to Learnt"
It is interesting to note a learned
mans tactics with the rest OF the
world. He is never ashamed to own
up to what he does not know. In fact,
before the conversation has died down
you will invariably find the learned
man venturing a very direct question
to secure an answer that will forever
after find him enlightened on the sub
ject in question.
THERE is no royal road to knowl.
L edge. That is. you may travel
blithely along on what you think is
one for some time, but as sure as
facts are facts some one will find you
out and show you. up in the end.

Dear Cynthla-Pead q. B. RS letter

with you and your subject Most men

OF course, like to see a girl make
Eerself as attractive as possible but TO
win she must also have nice dis
position.
Some also believe that clothes make
the the person, ;no That g quite true in the
eyes OF the public. but when a person
mate. he should look at other things
besides clothes.
Now about the flirting. wco,ldn,,

great help and sensible. Therefore. I
am going to write to you about a birth-
day party. Is 1t right for the hostess
TO invite a boy whom she does not know

Would you also invite a boy whom vo,,
have gone with. but somehow or othsr

PASTOR RECOMMENDS
 CHANGES IN CHURCH
Rev. Dr. $. c. Ohman Would Have New Namc AdOptcd-NantS
 English Language Used.

Three changes have been suggest ed in the Swedish Evangelical Iuther- an Maria church by the pastor, Key. Dr. $. G. Ohman, chief among which is a change in the name of the church to be known as the First Lutheran church. A change in the financial system to adopt the envelope system and a change in the form of service to adopt prayers and services in the English language are also sug- geSted. The recommendation of the pastor will be discussed at a special meeting of the congregation to be held in the church Friday evening of this week at o'clock.
 As explained by members of the congregation, the church is the oldest Lutheran church in New Britain and should be known as the First Luther an. While the congregation is of Swedish ancestry there are mum bers who cannot speak that languag ge making advisable the adoption of English rituals. Should the changes be accepted Friday evening Swedish services will not be dropped entirely but will he continued for the benefit of some of the older members of the congregation who speak only that tongue.

SOCIALISTS SEE A REACTION
Measures Considered to Combat
 the Hostility to Radicalism

New York, Dec. 6.--Measures to cope with the spontaneous reaction" against Socialists and Socialism in this country, together with plans for protest against interference with meetings by the American Legion and other agencies, were considered at an emergency meeting here today of the national legislative committee of the Socialist party.
 The committee probably will go to Washington next week to try to take up with Attorney General Palmer diff | ficulties which Socialists are having in holding meetings to labor for re- lease for "political prisoners" convict ed under the espionage act for refus- ing to perform military service dur 1 ing the war.
 The committee met with James O'Neal of New York presiding. He
 lamented widespread reaction throughout the country since the war against whatever was tinged with radicalism. Under these circumstan- ces, he said, it was almost impossible to hold a proposed series of meetings, for even when the local authorities permitted assemblage they were over ruled by members of the American Legion, acting through extra legal pressure as self-appointed board of censors.
 The party, he said, was not in sym pathy with the new labor party, launched at a recent convention in Chicago, altho some of it's organizers have been prominent in the Socialist party. He urged it's members to stand fast against this and similar attempts to draw them away from the ranks of the party. O'Neal added that the par ty was not interested in the case of Alexander Berkman and Emma Gold man, who were Anarchists and not So cialists.
 Among those present at the meet ing were Otto F. Branstetter, national secretary of the party; George K. Roewer of Boston, Edmund T. Melms of Milwaukee, William H. Henry of Indianapolis, Oliver c. Wilson of Chi cago, William M. Brandt of St. Louis and John Hagle of Oklahoma.

SECRECY MAINTAINED IN
 COAL STRIKE NEGOTIATIONS
No Flint Given Relating to Proposals of President Wilson--Miners
 Expect More.

Washington, Dec. 8.-The public, those most concerned, still were in the dark today as to the governments latest move to settle the bituminous roal miners strike. Not hint of the nature of the proposals has been made public either by the miners or by otti- rials, but comfort was taken m the statement by Attorney General Pal =er last night that he was quite sure the end of the strike was in sight. The statement was made by Mir. Palmer just before he boarded a train for Indianapolis. where, late today, he will confer with Judge A. B. Ander- son, of the federal court relative to she injunction proceedings involving mine union officials.
 Miners Expect Bigger Increase.
 Speculation as to the method for settling the strike which was pro posed personally by President Will son was rendered difficult because reiterated there would be no increase sn the price of coal to the public, and said he had not budged one inch from his position, the readiness with which the strikers accepted led to the belief an advance in wages larger than Ia per cent suggested by Dr. Garfield AAd heen proposed.
 Success, or failure of the presidents plan will not be determined until Tuesdav when the court and strike leaders win consider it.
 Congress to Take Action
 The coal strike also promises to come in for additional attention from congress.
