"Why, there is only one thing that
l can tell him, and that is that | am
engaged to you"
well, now as to that, you are not
wearing any ring and we have never
told anyone our plans SO that you
could go ahead with him. No one
would be the wiser and guess could
get over it all right. One thing is
certain and that is that if you marry
him you will have everything you
want and nothing to do but enjoy it,
whereas If you marry me you will
have nothing but work. and no time
to enjoy even that. Better think it
over"
"Jack! / really think that you are
tired of me and want to back out"
"Not bit of it, dear. love YOU
as much as ! ever did (which was
true.) But you know yourself that
you were never meant to be anyone's
slave and that is what you would be
if you married me. There would be
nothing but hard work for years and
years and you never oven washed a
dish in your life While if you mar
ried him you would have everything
that you want, and what is more i'm
portant to you, somebody to do the
work guess you had better say
yes to him tonight. shall be per-
fectly satisfied as long as know you
are happy
The next morning she told me that
she had sent him away with mo" for
an answer in spite Of the fatherly ad-
vice had given her. so there seemed
to be nothing for it but to stick to- my
bargain. One hope remained for me,
however, and that evening, instead of
walking home with her from school,
| went straight to my best pal in
times of trouble and told him the
whole story. and he solved the prob
lem, as ones Dad always does.
He said that the best thing I could
do would be to leave town as soon as
| could after graduation and remain
away all summer without letting her
know where was or what I was do
ing. Upon my return if she was still
waiting for me and believed in me
then, all well and good. If not so
much the better. was happily out
of poor bargain, the way Dad looked
at it. But another condition and one
eiot l "de W hccp lOT my own ln1OF-
nation only, was that if she should be
waiting for me at the end of the sum-
mer was to have start in whatever
line of business wanted to 60 into.
Another stipulation was that l was
not to tell her that was going until
two days. before graduation, and II
was to leave the day after
l agreed to all these things and
left on the day agreed upon. About
month after ! had left and while
spending a couple of weeks at Dads
old home in Whoosis, Iowa, received
a card from her saying that she had
gotten my address from Mother and
asked me to write. True to my prom
Use paid no attention to the card and
about two weeks later l received an
invitation to the wedding of Miss Allie
Apples and Mr.. Robert Woodbine. II
guess that was his name. Anyway, II
went to the wedding-NOT.
! knew then that my Dad was right
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-04-24

and l never thanked him enough and
never can. But j learned my lesson
and learned it well. From that day
forward l have succeeded in the reso-
luton that l made when received
that invitation. That resolution was
to treat them all alike at all times
and in all places. Remember that the
good looking ones are sometimes not
as good to look at as the hopely ones.
Also, from then on l. do not believe
l have ever taken the same girl any
place twice in the same season. And
there is moral to all this if you
want to play safe and that is: Don't
play favorites or you are bound to
lose Play them clear across the board
and pick them fairly.

IT'S YOUR FIGHT

WE'VE NOTICE A DISPOSITION ON THE PART OF
the average Yazoo City citizen to content himself
with reading about the strikes being waged
this country and contenng himself with the belief that
long they don't happen right here in his own country
they are not going to affect him.
The fact of the business is that every fight involving
capital and labor matter where is being waged is
felt indirectly right here in the homes of Yazoo City peo
ple We innocent bystanders but they usually the
most seriously injured when trouble is going In
this country all dependent to very large extent
upon the other fellow Every section is dependent upon
every other section there is trouble in the South a
fects the cotton have to have if in the West affects
the fruit and mineral must have in the East it affects
the fuel cannot get along without if in the north it
affects machinery necessary to comfort and welfare
If it deprives neighbor of dollar it means one less
dollar in the neighborhood where reside. Indirectly
all this labor trouble affects every citizen Of the United
States.
For that reason feel every citizen should take a
deeper interest in public affairs and by way of the ballot
solving these problems he believes will be in the best
interest of all the people.-Yazoo City Sentinel.
