her off bodily. Her husband how

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am mar
red woman of "a and have a little boy
of four. When mother died a year
ago it was fathers wish that we come
to live with him. l was glad to do
it for the sake of my sisters, none of
them being old enough to take charge.
| have tried to take mothers place
the best I knew how. Everything
would be all right but for the fact
that father has never liked my hus-
band and has never treated him any
too Well.
Of late father has taken it into his
head TO train our little boy and it has
caused all kinds of trouble between
him and my husband. Our boy is
noisy like all healthy youngsters and
apt to be spunky. Father is over SO
and seems to be getting unreasonable.
He has forgotten how his own boys
were when they were little.
My husband has just told me that
| he will not live here much longer
! that we will have to go back to house
keeping by ourselves. Father says if
we do he will marry again and the
woman he has in mind will never be
good mother to the little girls, who
are seven, ten and fourteen. The boys
| are old enough to look out for them
| selves.
We are willing to take the girls
with us, but if we do, father will pay
| us nothing and we cannot afford tt
! care for them as we should like.
| am so troubled. l do not know
what is best to do. ! want so mucf
! to do what is right. There has beer
so much wrangl!ng of late that is i:
getting on my nerves. Would you b.
kind enough to give me your advice

I think YOU had better go to house
keeping with your husband and lie
your father get along as best he cal

hard for the little girls, but your IA
year-od sister can do much to fill you
place.
If your father marries again con

the discord will probably be littl
more than exists now. In an eXtrem
case your father will see his mistall

Will be glad to have you take the girl
and to contribute toward their sur
port. You must have a pretty fin

generous enough to give up their ow

What's in a Name
DELLA
(Copyright)

DELLA
Della is a name of curiously con-
flicting history. There are several
origins from which she might have
sprung. In England, she appears
most frequently as convenient con-
traction for the dignity of Cordelia.
The truly Irish flavor of Bedelia and
the popularity of Della in that coun-
try might give rise to the contention
that the latter name is the dlminu-
tive of the old song favorite.
But Della, according to the best ETY.
biological authorities, is a separate
and independent name which has its
source in no less an exalted realm
than the mythology Of ancient Greece.
1t was Artemia or Diana, the moon
goddess, who, being born at Delos,
scaused the place of her nativity to be
, immortalized in Greek neurological
history.
In honor of the goddess, the fem
mime name Della, was evolved from
Delos and sprang to instant fame in
Arcadian poetry. Lovely shepherd
esses who figure in those ancient pas
I'torals, bore the name and it reached
England by the literary route The
/ sound of it was good to Irish ears
and it was straightway adopted by
that country.
Since Artemis was the moon
goddess, it is fitting that Delias tai
! ismanic gem should be the moon
stone. 1t will bring its wearer good
fortune, and will prove an exception
ally lucky jewel if it is a gift from a
sweetheart 1t is said that lovers
Lean read the future by looking into its
depths when the moon is full. Mon
day is Delias lucky day and four hel
lucky number.

THE "ESPONSIBILIT

Democratic partisans are trying to
|abSOlvc the administration from blame
for not pursuing a more vigorous and
effective policy toward the trusts and
combinations that are exploiting the
'necessaries of life, by insinuating that
congress is responsible. However, Mr..
Wilson before he was elected told just
how to do it and declared any decently
equipped lawyer could point the way.
Well, Mr.. Wilson had absolute control
of congress up to the first of March a
year ago and it enacted all the laws
for the suppression Of trusts that Mr..
Wilson asked for. Moreover, the re-
publican congress has done likewise
and passed a measure last summer that
was approved by the president and his
attorney general.
Representative Ramseyer, in speak
ing in the house the other day, placed
the responsibility just where it be-
longs. He declared hat among the
causes for high prices was
the profiteering which got it's i'm
petus during the war and is still ram
pant" Proving that the executive
branch of the government has power to
deal with such conditions. but is not
cXerting itself in that direction, Mr..
Ramseyer said:

THE DIFFERENCE.

Occasionally one hears some farmer
or manufacturer complain because the
government, in exercising it's prerog-
atives in fixing freight and passenger
rates, undertakes to establish such
rates at a point that will yield a reas
enable return if the railroads are judi
ciously managed. These critics declare
that the farmer and the manufacturer
are not the beneficiaries Of such pattern
alism.
But there is no parallel in the
cases cited. The government certain
ly has the right to regulate public SER
vice corporations and in such regula-
ton it most assuredly should under
take to treat such public service in
~terests fairly while it is trying to pro-
tect the people from unjust and I'M
fair charges. AS a general PROPOSE
ton the farmer and the manufacturer
have a free hand to get any reason
able amount for their products they can
and they would resent governmental
Interference in time of peace. But
from the very nature Of public service
corporations they must be under pub
lie control to some extent. Otherwise
they would charge excessive prices and
make many times the profit the inter-
state III commission, under the
new railroad law, will permit them to
make.
In discussing this feature in his adj
dress before the recent republican
state convention Senator Cummins
well said:
l have heard it said that il congress
attempts to make reasonably certain
la return upon railroad property it
ought to do likewise for the farmer and
the manufacturers. The suggestion is
absurd and will not deceive any
thoughtful and intelligent producer,
for there is no parallel between public
service and private enterprise. The
law does not attempt to tell a farmer
how many acres he shall own, how
he shall improve it, what he shall
plant or at what prices he shall sell
his products. 1t does not tell him low
much he may borrow or how he shall
secure his debts. 1t leaves him, and it
ought to leave him, with a free hand
to make what profit he a and dis
pose of his income according to his
own pleasure. We treat, and we must
continue to treat, transportation as a
public business eliminating all its
speculative profits and regulating in
the minutest way its management. If
the committee of fOrty-eight, the Plumb
plan league and other like OrganiZa-
tions reach the logical end of their
movement, and succeed in natiOnaliZ-
ing, either directly or indirectly, all
production, we shall then sit amidst
the ruins of our prosperity and survey
a situation in which profit will become
'immaterial, for there will 5a none
either to distribute or enjoy.

SCHOOL SITUATION.

The Frccman-JOurnal believes the
taxpayers of the Independent school
district of Webster City will approve
the action of the school board in refus-
ing to accept any of the bids recently
submitted for the $2jO.000 bond issue.
The bid for the twenty year bonds
was $22J,000 and for the five year
bonds the highest offer was S230,O0O, a
discount of $4,000 on the former and
of $4,000 on the latter. The bonds
draw > per cent interest, hence if
these bids were accepted the interest
would be 6.OJ per cent for the long
time and 7.04 per cent for the short
time bonds. The district should not
pay such Il rate Of interest. especially
for a building that will cost apprOXi-
three times as much to build
ii would have cost IA few years ago.
1t has been suggested that in order
to relieve the congestion in the
schools. and the suggestion appears to
the Frceman-Journal 20 be Il good one,
