To Bachelor Farmer.

To Bachelor Farmer.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Have read
with interest the answers to
Bachelor Farmers" letter, but have
noted no comments or ideas on his
problem. Can happy and peaceful
home be maintained where the two
persons have only admiration and
respect for each other and no love.
Isn't that what you meant,
dering if it would be safe to choose
the one girl who most nearly ap-
proaches your ideal. and take a
chance?"
Since no one with experience has
given his or their results, I, an mex
perienced one, will venture my
opinion.
And that opinion is--it would
never, never be successful. For
isn't love the foundation Of home? 2"
That's what you wanted, Bachelor
Farmer, a home" but would it
last long without the foundation?
And would it be real home at all?
Not the kind we all look forward
to, at least, where perfect con-
geniality reigns because love Is there.
Believe every normal man and girl
have stored away somewhere (al-
though sometimes loathe to admit
ii even to themselves) vision of
their ideal and we constantly seek
the realization of that vision. But
| sometimes ask myself this ques-
ton: Have I set my standards too
high, forgetting perchance my own
shortcomings? For aren't we all,
unfortunately, too often blind to our
own defects while we readily notice
and prejudice them in another?
But it seems to me, bachelor
Farmer" that as yet, fate has not
smiled upon you lin regard to the
GRID, for if you have met the really.
truly, person you would have no
doubts for Miss Fairfax to solve.
Gsn't that true Miss Fairfax?) So
wait little longer. That girl is also
waiting for you. Then as all good
stories end. You'll live happy ever
after. Very sincerely,
A few uninteresting letters have
been received in reply to our friends
inquiry, but most pople seem reticent
about expressing an opinion on mar
riage without love.
She Wants to Finish School.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: l

but to tell about myself. Now, Miss
Fairfax, l know that what I'll say
is almost unbelievable, but, hon
est" I'm telling the truth. My let

printed, for it's not one of those
silly letters that you have had to
take patience with, but it's a letter
over which the reader should have

 After trying to knock out Palmer several times without being able to even hit the soldier. Woods appeared to loose interest in his own blows and devoted his time to keeping close to Palmer. The bout was wit messed by the largest crowd that ever attended a boxing match in this city.
 Eddie Connell and Fred McManus both of Tucson, fought six rounds to d draw in the semi-final event.
 Henry Palmer was given the deci- sion over Kid Moreno at the conelu- sion of four rounds of fast milling. Both are Tucson boys.

 Standing in the presence of the as- sembled delegates to the peace con ference at the formal presentation of the covenant of the league of nations, Woodrow Wilson declared of this in strument: It is definite as a guaran- tee of peace. It is definite as a guar antee against aggression
 Wood Foresees War
 "On the other hand, Gen. Leonard Wood has made the statement that the claim that any covenant will pro- tect the world from future wars is idle twaddle and dream of mollycoddles. The pacifista, moreover, tell you lies when they say war as an institution is dead. Don't listen to the molly. coddles. Be a citizen of common SenSe.i
 Which guide are We to follow ? Each has been a leader in the recent past when the issue was, as now, both national security and world idealism. Woodrow Wilson declared we could not become involved in the war and that the affairs of Europe were not our concern, so he advocated non-pre- paredness as the remedy. Leonard

Wood declared that we were very likely to become involved in the war, that our only safety was in making preparations for any contingency that the world struggle was our war. and he risked all that he had to save the country and his country's honor.
 "The pacifists' solution did not then avail to keep us out of war, despite MT. Wilson's consoling promises, and the internationahsts' solution which he now no less confidently offers to charm away future wars has an equal chance of success.
