Something, perhaps, that she won't

Just this: Which are the dancing

WILSON ADVISES

UPHOLD IDEALS

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y&Nov. 80
In a letter to the Young Americans
Democratic league here, President
Wilson stated the young men of the
country should correct the pessi-
mism and reaction of some of the
older men"
The letter. addressed to Thomas
r. Compton. treasurer of the Young
Americans Democratic league of
New York state, read:
'Dear Mr.. Compton:
Twill you not convey my cordial
greetings to the first annual con-
vention of the Young Americans
Democratic league which is to con-
vene December 81? 1t is the young
men of the country who must cor
rect the pessimism and reaction of
some of the older men and push
forward toward a realization of the
genuine ideals which cannot be lived
up to without courage and con-
slant renewal of fidelity to the pur

of international responsibility.
My best wishes will follow the
deliberations of the convention and

Fifth avenue. They point out that
the distance between Fifth avenue
and Broadway, as the Fifty-ninth
street car crawls, Is only two city
blocks, but, as the social register
knows, no one is hardy enough to
cover it except travelling "anony-

Cooperation is the next step in the
evolution Of industry. Productive CO.
operation is what the Llano Colony is
trying. The success achieved depends
upon the ability and psychology Of the

operation is the antithesis of COMPETE

into the competitive struggle find it
hard to throw off our former ideas
