The Joy of-love is in loving. To be
loved gratifies, but to love is to taste
the ambrosia and sip the nectar of
the gods. To be loved without be-
ing able to love is to eat of tasteless
fruit. The real ecstacy of love is in
the possession of a consuming pas
sion that RACES within.

FEW REPUBLICAN, WOMEN

For the national convention five
women delegates and nineteen alter
mates from Manhattan were named by
Democrats. In strong contrast to this
recognition Of one-third Of the voters
in the big city, the Republicans will
send but one woman delegate to Chi
cago from Manhattan. The New York
Times says: although, counting the3F
delegates at large and two alternatss
at large, as compared with the one
alternate at large named by the Re-
publicans, the Democrats will have
approximately a dozen women dele
gates to two or three Republicans"
And there would not be so many
divorces if man shared his joys with
his wife the way he shares his sor-
rows with her.

See Red Hot fractional Fight in
Seventh Today.

Dodge City. Kan. March 29.-Dele-
gates from all the thirty-two counties
of the Big Seventh congressional dis
trict are here for the selection of two
delegates and two alternates to the
Republican national convention in Chi
cago. Ten candidates are in the race
for places on the district delegation.
It is probable some of the delegate
candidates will win alternate jobs,
while an electoral position may go to
another loser.
Lines are tightly drawn in red hot
factional fight. The fight is being
built around W. Y. Morgan, of Hutch
inson, former lieutenant governor, who
carried Reno county by q big vote.
Final decision of the convention will
doubtless depend largely on the action
of the larger counties outside of Reno.
On early predictions. Morgan and
Thad c. Carve. Pratt banker and
former state senator, appeared to hold
the lead. Other candidates in the race
and claiming delegate strength suffi-
cient to make them factors in the fight
are w. w. Harvey, Ashland; DR.. C.
Fl. Ewing. Larned; Ora w. Dawson,
Great Bend; Tod Cannon. Kingman;
w. B. Devan. Ness City; B. F, Arnold,
ColdwHter; and Mrs. James Patrick,
Santa Fe.
Many of the delegates OF the Dodge
City convention will leave here tonight
to attend the Republican state conven-
ton in Salina.

sweetly poked his head under the bonnet
surely they would be discussing their love
affair, but no, they were trying to decide
whether he should buy a pair of pumps,
Oxfords or shoes for summer There was
a man returning from Marshalrs band

very fidgety and nervous asked everyone
around him how to find a number on For
