two years and this being the year, it is claimed
there is other organization like it; it has
neither bylaws, no membership dues, execu-
tive officers, nor other vices. 1t is said that
there is no record to show whether the mem

Mr.. Swift. the meat packer, complains that
the producers have raised fund to get their
cause before the people. It has not been so
long since the latter were too poor to finance
such undertaking, but they now have a little
money, which, like little learning. Mr.. Swift
apparently considers a dangerous thing. The
big packers may be able to keep monopoly on
the meat business, but it is too much for them
to expect to keep the field of propaganda all to
Them selves

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have been
married 80 years and have four
grown-up children. My husband
never made a lot of money, but he
earned enough to buy the home we
live in and to put aside little sum.
About two years ago we noticed
a change in him. He must have
had a slight stroke when none Of
us knew about it. Since then he
has had two more. Now he is bed
ridden and only the family can I'M
derstand what he says. My oldest
boy sends me money every month,
but the other two do not help at all.
My daughter wants me to come and
live with her, hut her husband will
not let me bring my husband. He
says that 1 must put him in hos
pitaf.
1 cannot do this. I don't know
what Is the right thing to do AT
times, because my daughter tells
me that her father will be better
off in a hospital and that l will be
stronger away from him.
What shall 1 do?
THE CROSSROAD
1 believe that you will be happier
IL you take care OF your husband
until the end. In such condition
he cannot live much longer. If you
need financial help all of your sons
and your daughter should contrib
ute to your fund. 1t is your duty
to do all you can for your husband.
OF course If your health is poor you
must consider yourself as well as
your husband.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: A certain
boy has been showing me attention.
He has taken me out twice and
when l asked me to call he said he
would, but never set a time. The
other night he waited for me 20
minutes so that we could walk
home from work together. ! know
that he wanted to come over, but
would not ask. Another time he
asked if 1 would go to dinner with
him some night that week and l
told him l would. Then he didn't
say anything. more about it and the
week passed without our going.
Do you think l should invite him
to call on me and set the time?
DOUBTFUL.
Do not set the time for him to
call. 1t is enough for you to let
him know that he is welcome.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am7deep-
ly in love with a boy, and he with
me. A year ago he went to France.
When he went he promised faith
fully to write to me and 1 believed
him. But it was the same old story
he did not, Sand so broke my
promise by not writing. I tried to
forget and fill my life with other
people. and was beginning to sue
ceed when a friend OF mine return
ed from France who knows him and
said he wrote to me several times.
l. am very sorry and find that
love him more than l did before he
eft.
There is a possibility Of his be-
ing dead. as this friend Of mine
heard so. viii you please tell me
