4 CERTAIN FOOLISH WOMAN.

A story in the newspapers tells OF
woman who Fmashed into a tele-
phone post at Sioux City while carry

automobile. The relation says shc

baby" her darling" When the
Mortified helpers dug into the debris
in haste they found a poodle dog but
no child. Where's the baby?" de-
manded the searchers. There he is,
the darling" exclaimed the woman and
grabbed the mutt with extravagant
expressions of passionate affection.
Isn't there a real baby in the wide,
wide world that woman could ind to
lavish affection and care on? Why
hasn't she babies Of her own. and,
lacking those why doesn't she seek
some little motherless child to hold in
her arms and comfort and make
happy? Imagine a woman cheating
herself out OF a real baby with pug

the endearments upon IT that belong
to helpless, lovirs little children. A
dogs a dog and win always be a dog,
but baby's a baby. There's nothing
in all the world liks a baby.
Women who strive thus TO cheat
and befool themselves are piling up
sorrow and regret for their elder years
There comes a time to us, men and
women, when we need love and a low
ing arm to lean on; when life becomes
duh and tasteless unless It has other

than men they suffer, those women
who have denied children and the in
stincts of motherhood. When the
bright lights fade for them they find
themselves old and without resource
DISCONTINUED and empty handed and
empty hearted they find themselves
alone in a loneliness the harder TO
bear because it is Of their own making.

o. Postum and Lady Duck and the
Fox children began living together.
Some of the forest dweIlers thought it
very strange that o. Postum should
show such kind disposition toward
the one he had once tried to kill But
it wasn't strange at all; many of us do
just such odd things when We are an
cry and then feel sorry afterward. ..
Possum had concluded that the noblest
thing was to forget.
Lady Duck was an early riser but o.
Postum liked to sleep long in the
morning. She always laid him an egg
and when breakfast was ready she
tickled his nose with a feather. At
first he was startled but when he was
fully awake he realized what had hap
pened.
"Quack! Quack! Breakfast !s
ready" said Lady Duck.

Postum. 'for I don't get up in the
morning very often. And when some
one does awaken me ! get cross ana

but I'm going to get over that"

morning. The three Fox children and

fish for dinner"

RAIlchlhe JEWElaY.

When the high cost of living is be-
ing made the plea and complaint OF
every enc from section hand to mil
nonaire 1t is somewhat astonishing to
learn that the diamond mine owners
have decided to ration out their
product on account Of the shortage
created by the abnormal demand for
gems. However we are assured that
such Is the fact; that the universal
demand for diamonds has brought
about a system Of rationing the jewels
out SO many to this market and so
many to that. That deoacle OF
spending for jewelry in the United
States was On and uncontrolled Is no
news but England is reported to be DO
ing the same thing. the new rich made
by the war profits and the mun.tion
workers and others who have drawn
undreamed of wage are storming the
jewelry markets there as here. With
all the cutlery of the high costs Of liv-
ing these instances of the cost Of high
living strike a peculiar note in the
midst OF complaint and protest and de-
mand for higher prices and higher
wages. It Is hard to reconcile starya-
ton, present or approaching, with 2
demand for diamonds at Increased
prices that brings about q rationing OF

We know all about rationins Of
foods. We learned that by experience.
But what do you know about a starV-
ing world being rationed as to
diamonds and gems lest one section OF
it hog all the diamonds and high cost
jewels?
Something is wrong somewhere.
Do you imagine that it may DO we
have failed 70 differentiate between
the cost Of high living and the high

HIS ANIMOSITY.

Every once in so often the anonymous letter
writer takes his pen in hand to write few lines
to The Journal and to make vague threats. The
Journal throws all anonymous communications
into the waste paper basket or turns them over
to the federal authorities, according to their
value near-value.
One of these anonymous writer's, in order to
prove that The Journal is wrong in depicting
present day conditions in Russia, sends a part
of a pamphlet dated January, 1918, and clip
ping from the Appeal to Reason, published in
Kansas months ago, in which it's editor offers
ten thousand dollars to the person who will prove
that laws were passed in Russia making women
the property of the state. Kenneth L. Roberts
should receive that award, for in an article ap-
pearing in the Saturday Evening Post of June
7th he says:
people have an unpleasant habit of doubling
the authenticity of documents !. =. have seen
statements that the famous Saratov Decree ma
tionalizing women and making them the COM
mon property of any Bolsheviks who wanted
them was myth. / have the Saratov decree

sheet which was pasted on the wall of a Saratov
school" Mr.. Roberts spent many months in
Russia with the American forces, so he should
know whereof he speaks.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.

The Pensacola Journal,
Pensacola, Fla.
Gentlemen:
I have read with interes. your edi-
toriaT For Good Government" in
your most excellent paper lure 25th.
in which you discuss governmental
conditions in Pensacola and refer to
both, the old aldermanlc form, and
the present commission form OF gov
eminent.
A good form of government with
inefficient men elected and placed in
charge will make the best form of
government a positive failure. Eff
cient reliable and Trustworthy men
elected and placed in charge OF city
government with a poor form OF gov
eminent will make it's administration
what may be termed a success. The
form of government will be made a
failure, or a success. by reason Of
the strength of character and type
of men who are elected and placed
in charge of the city's affairs.
1t Is a distinct injury to any city
to place any man or set of men in
charge of it's affairs whose loyalty to
a party is above his LOYALTY to his
community 1t should be a funda-
mental principle that loyalty to COM
munity, state and nation should be
above partisanship. The good citi-
zens of every community should band
together for the purpose OF cooperat-
ing with and assisting the city gov
eminent in the administration of its
affairs for the good Of the greatest
number, and for the progress and de-
yelopment OF the city. forgetting per-
sonaI aggrandizement in such efforts

there are between 100000 and 100000 men and
women in New York city who advocate the forci-

In commenting on this, Leslies Weekly says:

have come here from Russia and Central Europe,
and have abused our freedom Trotzky and his
