The editor of the Iron Molders'
Journal in a recent issue of his paper
denounced the epidemic of Fool
Strikes" and said, in part: The fact
is that there is such thing as Fool
Strike" and during recent months
there have been several, both at home
and ABROAD. A body of workmen who
decide to strike without having given
sufficient thought to their prospects
for winning. might very properly be
said to have gone on Fool Strike.
Fool Strikes. also have the effect of
alternating public support to a great T

that the most valuable assets which
trades unionists can have is strong

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
II years old and have two sweet
hearts. I love one and like the other.
The one I love does not live in my
home town. but he writes to me often
and tells me he still loves me. We
are engaged to be married when he
comes back to his home town. 1 went
with him four years and could not
think Of giving him up.
The other one have gone with one
year and he tells me he loves me dear
er than any one else, even dearer than
he does his mother. I like him very
much and hate to give him up. but 1
know I can't have two. How can 1
tell him 1 don't love him and not hurt
his feelings? Every time he comes he
asks to kiss me. but 1 have never let
him. as don't think 1t would be right.
He said If told him didn't love
him he would never go with me again.
II he loves me as much as he says he
does am afraid 1 will hurt his feel
ings. What shall I do?
WORRIED.
OF course you should tell the young
man whom you don't love the truth,
even IL you lose him. He will be very
much hurt. but time will help him to
forget. and he will learn to care for
some one else. You have been quite
right in not kissing him. Do not think
that waiting will help matters; let the
young man know the truth as soon as
possible
Dear Mrs. Thompson: G) 1 am a

DO 1T WELL.

DO 1T WELL.
Do it well, whate'er your duty,
Make of IL a. thing of beauty;
Tho the task be mean and humble,
DO 1t well and never grumbie.
In your toiiing and your playing
It's yourself that you're porfraying,
In the things you're called TO do
Daily life discovers you.
Young man into battle starting,
Heed these simple words at parting.
If you'd rise TO fame and glory
II success shall be your story
Do your humble duties gladly.
Do them well and never badly.
Never pause and never rest
Until you have done your best.
Let no needless method claim you,
Let no <inIsheed labor shame you
On the work that leaves your fingers
Something of yourself still fingers.
Fame or shame are you pursuing
Thru the task which you are doing
By your toll you rise or fall;
Do 1t we'll or not at all!
Do it well! whate'er your duty,
Make of 1t a thing of beauty.
Sigh not oyermuch for pleasures.
Take noNpride IN halfway measures
Slight no task however humble
Or with greater tasks you'll stumble
PANE and glory shall be won
If you Leave your work well done.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Managing Mothers.-1.

- Managing MOthcrs.-1.
When we speak of woman as a
managing mother We use the term
as an epithet of reproach. 1t visual
izes to US stony hearted creature
who lays traps for rich young men to
stumble into. and who sells her daugh-
ters to the highest bidder in the mar
riage market.
Most women are SO afraid that they
will be mistaken for this monster that
they dare not make a move to try to
help their daughters get settled in
life, yet, heaven knows, if there is
anybody on earth who should be a
good manager, who should be fore
sighted, and who should try to pull
the strings of fate, so as to secure good
fortune for those she loves IL is a
mother. Surely life is not SO kind to
women that a mother is justified in
trusting her daughters happiness to
it with blind faith.
In reality, the managing mother
is not the lowest type, but the highest
type of intelligent motherhood, for IL
there is any other one duty more
sacred than another. that a mother
owes her daughters it is to assist them
in plotting their little boats thru the
dangerous currents and shoals of girl
hood into a safe anchorage.
The majority of women want their
daughters to marry. They believe
that a woman is happiest, and
best fulfills her duty in the world in
the domestic sphere. They know that
good. kind, tender, loving husband
who can give his wife a comfortable
home is Gods best gift to woman.
Also they know that there is no
middle ground in matrimony, that a
home is heaven or hell. and that no
woman is so to be pitied as the one
who has brutal and selfish husband,
OF drunken and immoral one or
even one who is just plain no account
and can't make a living.
Realizing that her daughters whole
future lives depend upon their maxi
ing good matches, surely it is a
mothers business to do everything in
her power to help them get the right
sort of husbands. She has no more
right to trust their fate to luck than
she would have to leave a baby to
play on the ledge of an eighth story
window. or a three-year-old toddler
to cross the street alone in front of Il
racing automobile
OF course marriages between younc
people are not arranged in this coun-
try as they are in Europe. YOUNG
hearts in this land of the free and
home of the brave. not to say the fool
hardy In matrimony, insist on finding
each other. Or thinking that they
find each other. Therefore, mother
cannot make~a match for her datigh-
ter. in the conventional sense of
matchmaking. but II she has any in
telligence and discretion she can un-
derstudy the fat boy with the arrows.
and she can. at least, be accessory
before the fact of whom her dauShtcr.i
marry.

The Asheville IN. CO board of
trade has gone on record as believing
thats-the business of city can be built
thru the advertisements in the daily
papers thruout the country in exactly
the SAND manner as the trade of any
business houss can be built up by ad-
vertising Its wares TO the public that
needs them. thru the advertising col
unlns of the local daily paper" If any
body doubt let him look at Los. Ange-
les, a city of half million people. built
en advertising alone. It never had
and has not now. any of what usually
are regarded as the necessary require
ments for building l city. except the
push and energy of its people. There
are those who give credit to the eli
mate for Los Angeles. but San Diego
has a better climate and had an even
start in every othcs way.

WHY YOU SHOULD SAVE.

Money is not all, by a long, long
way-but it is great deal For with
out it. little can be accomplished It
is the medium by which large happi-
ness accumulates.
Therefore-savei
To save means to .fortify everything
material that you have. Also, you are
thereby made able to stand straight
and face the world.
Then why not save?
Every time you lay aside an amount
of money you increase your self re-
speet- You are made more self de-
pendent-mere confident. And you
put additional stiffness to your back
bone.
The Topeka state journal., 1919-10-23
BY all means. save something.

By all means. save something,
, Once the habit of saving is acquired.
4 sticks-like an old friend It's
largely habit. anyway. The amount
doesn't matter 50 long as 1t is az large
as you are abie-and you save regu-
larry. There Is always q rainy day"
coming.
So save for il.
And do not forget that every dollar
you work for and save. immediately
turns around and begins to work for
you. That's the reward you get for
saving. outside Knowing that YOU have
the principle of what you save always
forming a strong defense for your
future.
Everybody should save-if he wants
to be ABLE.
