They are planning to send home three hundred thou
sand soldiers month from Europeit is only planning so
far Why can they send home the soldiers that locked
lid here in the United States anxious to get home?
Why not continue to give them their thirty dollars a
month for six months after they leave the army while they
hunt for job? Why keep locked up here In camps,
fed and paid by the taxpayers and hidden away where they
can't even TRY to find work?
Some days ago in this column young man was men
toned as one of many that could get jobs and the
Government expense if the Government would permit it.
The particular young who at that time well and
cheerful could have got job with this writer as stated
Immediately at one hundred dollars a month
At present the young man, who was In a Southern
camp and has been moved North is with many Of his fell
low soldiers sick in the hospital with the mumps only
few miles from his home and from job He might
now be well and earning one hundred dollars month,
instead of having mumps at Government expense How
long will that kind of last and who is responsible
for it?
Who will offer ANY excuse for keeping men in camp
away from useful work here in America close to their
homes?
The President in Europe but there ought to be
body with Intelligence and energy to attend to this matter

There Are "Wild Cat" Stores as
Well as "Wild Cat" Stocks
Keep Away From Both. Deal With Those YOU
KNOW.

This is for those that spend money, and for women
especially.
If you have money to invest in stocks bonds buy
what you know, get the advice of good responsible
banker and buy what he tells you is safe and sound
If you have money invest in store for household
goods personal clothing furniture that is last any
thing else, BUY OF THE STORE THAT YOU KNOW.
Keep away from wild cat investments and from
wild cat" shops Don't tempted by the bogus values
Of dividends offered by the wild cat stock sellers.
And don't be tempted by bogus values, or pretended
cut prices offered by wild stores without regulations
established character to lose
Sellers of bogus stock print their stock certificates
beautifully making them LOOK imposing the Gov
eminent bond better.
But the value isn't there.
And the merchant who sells wild store goods dresses
up his window and with the aid of electric lights and
good talking makes imitation goods look almost well
the real thing but the VALUE isn't there.
Deal with the man who is PERMANENT in business
whose you know.
Deal with the who expects to see you next year
and the year AFTER and ten years from now de could not
afford if he inclined to allow mlsrepresenta
ton now to kill his business in future.
When you see in nicely lighted, beautifully
dressed shop window all sorts of statements and induce
ments look FOR THE NAME, ask yourself whether you
heard of it, whether your friends know about it,
whether it is Of the merchandising establishments with
a name worth protecting whether you read its in
the newspapers and know that it is part Of the citys
honest commercial life
Don't be deceived by bright lights sashed prices
in an unknown store.
Go On further to store that you know as you would
pass the house of stranger and friends house
You are not aware perhaps that exists what bust
ness men call butchers of merchandising.
They make it point to get a store in a crowded
negborhood to which shoppers are attracted by the well
established, reputable merchants.
They put in inferior goods, offer false values and
fraudulent markeddown prices They sell all they can
butchering not their goods, but THE CUSTOMERS
POCKETBooKS. They have reputation to lose and
live from day to day
Save your shopping money for reputable whose
names you you your investment money for
good stocks and good bonds.
Keep away from wild cat stocks and wild stores
no value In either.

OF every form of magnanimity. No
body would ever be self-seeking or
cruel or revengeful or base-if
only all the world might be in

Love is human nature at its

But don't understand me as

lover is necessarily happy or com
Portable. It's most likely that Re
isn't. And that's why many of
US are, doubtless, more contented
without knowing love.
You see it can't be taken for
granted that love is reciprocated,
or that lovers won't be separated,
or that in any case it will be pos
sible for them to marry. Misery
and torment are simply lying in
wait for the lover. You may be
sure that it takes a big, sane,
firmly poised nature to withstand
all the cyclones and whirlpools
and upheavals of one sort and

another that are brought about
by love.
Then love suffers such a sad
disadvantage by being always
confined to such a tiny minority.
There are so few to understand
the exalted language that it
speaks. So few who can per-
ceive the msgnificence of its ges-
lures. Love is, after all, rather
a lonely thing in a world that, as
a whole, is not aware of love and
that is not conducted by lovers.
Realizing these drawbacks of
love, do you pity the lover or do
you envy him? Do you hope that
you may some day feel its I'M
mistakable fame within you, or
are you willing to spend your
days in lukewarm comfort, safe,
sane, unlearned in the hearts
great mysteries
Can You Afford Sublimity!
If we're really candid, 1 imagine
that most Of US would make the
latter choice. We like to arrange
our lives with neatness and regu-
larity and comfort, and we can do
nothing of the sort if love is to
flash through it on a wild and
stormy pathway. We like a little
affection when we're depressed, a
little companionship when we're
lunely-but all that is a very diff
ferent matter from the measure
less and exhausting demands OF
love,
And yet-here is the paradox.
Find the woman who has loved
most unhappily, the man who has
loved most completely in vain, and
ask them whether they would
rather they had never known this
sublime but devastating experience.
And you will find that at whatever
cost they are glad to have known
love.
Comfort, happiness, health
they are willing to lave paid all
these as a price, only TO have had
a glimpse of that radiant, intan-
gible paradise that only lovers
know.
1t sounds like folly, doesn't it?
1t sounds like the very opposite
of all the sensible things we've
ever been taught.
But it's a superhuman sort Of
folly, a divine sort Of madness.
When all the world is capable of
loving and of understanding love,
humanity will be . higher thing.

said to me the other day. Gust as
we use the words eat, drink, talk,
walk, sleep, dream, so readily and
mater-Of-factly do we speak the
name of love"
Yet how many of US know what
love is?
Those gentle, amiable, practical
minded young girls who ask for
advice in their choice between two
suitors--one blond and one dark,
or one rich and one pOor-and who
are ready, upon receiving counsel,
to love the blond sutton and for
get his rival, or to accept the rich
lover and dismiss the poor one
do these girls know what it is to
love?
Young men and women who ex-
change vows of eternal constancy
and next week allow themselves to
be separated by suspicion, by jeal-
ousy, by a foolish quarrel over
some trifle-do they know what
love is?
Youths who briskly select a
capable looking girl and marry her
because they need a home, need
taking care of-girls who marry
compromise candidates because
the years are speeding by and
suitors are growing fewer-do any
of these know what love is?
Hearts Ignorant of Love.
For none of those whom / have
mentioned have / a word of re-
proach. Love isn't to be had for
the asking. They'll all spend their
lives doubtless comfortably, even
happily. in as near an approach to
love as nature is likely to vouch-
safe them. By no means all tenn
peramentS are capable of love, in
the true sense. We may as we'll
admit that most of US have TO
grope and stumble through life
with the dazzling ardent flame of
love unlighted.
Pm not even sure that this is
TO be lamented. Real love is prob
ably more than most o. US could
manage mr. live nm tO And I daro
say we're even better OF with the
warm friendship, or the tender but
temperate affection that most of us
have in its stead.
Only, let's know where We stand.
Why believe ourselves in love
when we're not?
Which leads, of course, to the
question: How are We to dis
tinguish between the real and the

counterfeit? How may one know
whether he is really in love?
It's a long story and | can give
but a brief answer. But here are
some essential points.
Love is complete unselfshness.
II you find that you desire the well
fare of your beloved more than
anything else in life; and that you
would sacrifice your own advan-
tage to it in every possible way
why, that sounds as though you
were in love.
Love is a thing OF superlatives.
If you are in love, you long en-
cessiyely to be something infinite
ly finer, nobler and more beautiful
than you are, so as to be worthy
of your beloved. You believe that
you are supremely happy merely
in thinking of her, till you dis
cover there's a keener bliss in
persuading her to smile on you.
Do you recognize any of these
signs?

WILSON IDEALS
ARE EXPLAINED
IN PARIS TALK

PARIS, May l0.-At a dinner
speech delivered in this city last
night before a representative gath
ering of diplomats and prominent
citizens Of many countries. President
Wilson made clear his reasons for
advocating certain international re-
forms about which there has been
much discussion and considerable
unfavorable comment, at home and
abroad
The old international law, de-
clared the president of the world
greatest republic, is played out, in
the sense that mankind's future de-
ponds more upon the relations of
nations to one another, than upon
the separate and selfish development
of national systems and laws
His plan of readjustment TO al
tered conditions, he continued, had
been disturbed by the hope men
entertained everywhere of immedi-
ate emancipation from the things
that hampered and oppressed them.
You cannot rush into the light, +"
he said, by way of explanation. You
must proceed through a twilight
into the broadening day, before
noon comes with a full sun"
The Presidents talk created a
profound impression and helped
much to clear away the fog which
has dimmed the vision of Numerous
Of the delegates TO the world peace
conference.

GEORGE MOODY
INJURED BADLY
BY EXPLOSION
Il IN

Advices received from Fairbanks
last night, over the phone, indi-
Gated that George Moody, we'll
known Fairbanksan, received pain
full injuries when a gasoline tank
on his boat exploded while being
soldered, yesterday.
The launch had been chartered
by John Moe for trip on the
Tanana and Yukon rivers, and
Moody was engaged in putting the
craft in shape for the trip.
Advices received this afternoon
state that the gasoline tank on
which Moody was working con-
tanned no gasoline, but there would
appear to have been considerable
dry gas, which became ignited from
the blow-torch used to heat the
soldering iron, causing an explo-
sion which was heard all over the
business section of the town.
The tank exploded at about 8
p. m, and as result of it George
Moody sustained serious cuts in the
region of the abdomen and on his
legs. DR.. Sutherland, who is at
tending the injured man, stated,
after an examination, that he has
not been injured internally and
that he viii be all right in a short
time.
The force of the explosion is said
to have sprung the seams in the
forward part Of the boat, which is
otherwise uninjured.
