I'VE business girls have one con-
ISOLATION even if we do have to earn
our own bread and butter and JAM
said a young woman the other day,
/ and that is that we have practically
cornered the matrimonial market, and
get the first option on most of the
good things in the marrying line.
And let me tell you that is no
small thing in these days when men
are scarce, and shy at the altar any
way. and when husbands have passed
into the luxury class.
You may suppose that the rich
girl who has nothing to do but doll
herself up, and look pretty, and sit
on the family pedestal would have the
best chance to marry. Far from it.
Cinderella, the Typewriter Queen, has
got the Fairy Princess left at the Old
Maids home when it comes TO hus-
band sharing. And not only can the
working girl marry oftener and quick
er than the rich girl. she can marry
better.
LAS a matter of fact no other girl
has such a poor chance of making a
really good match as the wealthy So
ciety girl. She is handicapped by her
money for men of honor, and indie
pendence and pride fight shy of her
because, for one thing, they do not
want to be suspected of fortune
hunting. and because. for another
thing, they cannot bear to put them
selves into the position of a hanger
on and pensioner of their wives
'"Then the kind of men who are 60
ing to be the famous professional men
and the big business men of twenty
years hence are not hanging around
drawing rooms, and yachting and
polo-ing just now. They are grubbing
" in nff nd Oh,
clothes and counting pennies, and the
rich girl never has any more chance
of meeting them than she has of be-
ing introduced to the Nawab of
Jepore.
THAT leaves the matrimonial field
pretty much to the papa's son boys.
who are not much, and the rich wife
hunters, who are not many. Perhaps
it is because the millionairesses' choice
is so limited in husbands that very
find a man and marry a title. =
''On the other hand, the poor 'gfrl
who works for her living, works shout
der to shoulder with the coming men.
She knows which ones have ability,
and energy, and initiative, and which
have in them that mysterious some
thing that takes a man out of the
ranks and sets him at the head.
That's what 1 mean by saying she has
the first chance at all the good things.
AS to her ability TO marry being
greater than the rich girls, that is OBJ
vious. What's the good of fishing in a
stream where there are no fish?
THE working girl is where the fish
ing is fine. The rich girl is sitting
high and dry in a parlor chair. with
out minnow being in five miles of
her. All she can do is to cut bait.
and pray for a miracle to happen that
will send some poor fish her way.
Which doesn't always happen, these
being discohraging times for the su-
pernatural to occur

THE JEWEL CASE.
Thieves broke into a house one day
And took some silver plate away,
few loose coins, ring or two,
Theu promptly disappeared from view.
Next day the paper bore this line:
ssThieveSa miss veritable mine,
They take the rinkets from a place
But overlook the jewel case.
A friend called friend one day,
He needed money right away
He must have twenty there and then,
Which he would promptly pay again.
Iu~sueh an hour the friend was glad
To share the silver that ne had.
But when the little debt was due,
The friend had disappeared from view.
OF him since then he's had no trace.
Nor even seen him face 10 face,
For tweufy dollars he had sold
The friend whose lore was good 70 hold
Now from his side he stays away,
Keeping the coins he took away.
Not knowing, in his petty mind,
He left the Jewel case" behind
He overlooked the kindly heart
Which down thru life would take bis part,
He overlooked the friend in need
Who'd give whtne'er he came to Plead
The trifling sum which he obtained
Was small to what he could have gained
Cheats take the trinkets that they ind,
But leave the Jewel rase behind

Consolidation OF the railroads into
one or few great systems is regard
ed by Walker ID. Hines, recently fed
eral administrator. as the remedy for
transportation difficulties. This is
precisely what the railroads them
selves have been seeking for many
years. and have themselves accom-
piished as far as it was possible for
them TO do so, and it is also just what
the government has hitherto been not
merely discouraging but actually for
bidding, preventing and undoing-
Whenever one road has acquired an
other, or one system has annexed an
other, for the sake OF such consolida-
ton as Mr.. Hines describes, the cry Of
"MonopoIy." has been raised, and
government action has been invoked
TO stop or to undo the process. But
since the government has undertaken
the fixing of rates and the limiting of
railroad profits, probably there will be
less objection to railroad mergers and
less insistence on maintaining COM
petition. The government appears to
have learned an important lesson by
putting itself in the other fellows
place. AS soon as it took possession of
the roads and began to operate them,
IL found out how desirable OF was to
do the very things which the roads
themselves had wanted to do and
which it had refused to let them do.
And it went ahead and did them. If
II had not done so the bill the people
must pay might have been much
larger than tits.

The Fourth of July Celebration
conducted by the Frank Lozar Post
was decided success. The general
committee in charge of the festivities
had laid out a rather ambitious
program of events in advance, and
this program was strictly followed.
The smoothness with which events
followed each other kept the holiday
crowd on it's mettle at all times.
The management earned and re-
ceived much commentator for its
efficient work.
The fireworks display had to be
postponed on account of the severe
rainstorm in the evening. 1t was
found impossible to erect the elab-
crate set pieces, which feature this
display, in the rain. The fireworks

HAD FINE OPENING.

The formal grand opening of the
Vermilion Trail Lodge at McComber
took place Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. A fine time was had by
the large number of guests who
partook of Landlord McNeill's bount-
eous spread and enjoyed the dances
provided by the management to mark
the opening. 1t is estimated that
800 people visited the lodge on the
opening days and all were impressed
with its beauty and accessibility.
Saturday night Hanson's Orchestra
furnished the music and Sunday the
Idlewild Orchestra furnished the
music.
The Lodge is handsome structure
of two stories. The interior is divid-
ed into large dining room which is
utilized for dancing, having a floor
space 24x48. A gallery encircles
the inside of this room from which
the sleeping rooms are reached. All
the sleeping rooms are outside rooms,
screened and fitted with iron beds
and the best mattresses and linen.
Besides the large dining room there
is an Office where cigars, candy and
soft drinks are sold and on the op-
posite side is a lunch counter where
sandwiches and other delicacies are
served. A large fireplace and
comfortable chairs furnish a home
like setting for cool and damp days.
A twelve-foot screened porch sur
rounds the building. A modern
kitchen is located at one end of the
building with a pump where pure
water is drawn from a depth of 60
feet.
A fine road has been built to the
Lodge and located as it is near the
lake and in the forest, the place
presents a most inviting appearance.
r. p. Rutherford of st. Paul was the
designer of the Lodge and to his
credit it must be said he did a fine
Job. He also secured the furniture
for the place and showed excellent
taste in its selection. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Rutherford have been there for
several weeks getting things in shape
for the opening. In this they were
assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. E, H. Cliff

State taxes will be lower next
year according to State Auditor
Preus. This will be welcome news
coming AS it does in the face of the
prediction that state taxes would be
much higher next year. The new
rate of taxation for state purposes
will be 3.78 mills compared with $50
mills this year. The difference is
due in part to the fact that the 1919
state legislature made appropriations
of approximately $18,000,000 avail
able at once and only $14,000,000
for the next fiscal year. Big in
crease in inheritance tax revenues
and the fact that railroad gross earn
ings taxes were greatly in excess of
estimates also contributed to the
lower tax result.
