clouds chased each other across a tur-
.ouoise sky. sped by the tonic March
winds. Molly, her blue eyes heaven
ward, was thinking of WiIliam-and
of Jim.
William was the man to whom she
was engaged-had been for three
years, a f~ar-sighted. practical chap, the
sort of man to whom one turns over
ones daughter and says: "Well, she'll
never have to worry about money"
sit will be years before we can
ever think of marrying" he had said
to Molly quite frankly. 81 am cary
ing a career and marriage would be
a handicap. AS soon as 1 think it
would be wise, we'll marry. Are you
satisfiedY
"Of course" Molly had answered
simply, her thoughts full of the hap
piness of getting ready.
Three years had passed since then,
and the contents of MolIy's chest had
kept pace with Williams bank ac-
count. She had several times been
bridesmaid at weddings of her
friends who begged to know when her
W wedding day was going to be.
Molly always told them bravely that
she and William were being very pru-
dent and weatherwise. 1.-THE high cost
of ~living-and everything"
That was why, this blowy March
day, with spring in the air, Molly drew
a deep breath and thought-of Jim.
Jim who had wanted to marry her years
ago, and who had just come back
from France, still wanting to marry
her, not some time in the future, but
the very instant she'd say "Yes."
She finished hanging up the
clothes, picked up the basket and went
into the house.
Ten hours later Molly sat before her
mirror coiling her curly brown hair
with deft fingers, slipping dainty
pumps on silk stockinged feet and fas-
tening a fowery wolfe frock. All the
while she meditated sit isn't as if we
couldn't afford it. Will is making more
money now than any young married
man l know, and he's been saving it
since he was sixteen. He knows dad

quickly as possible.

the ring she had slipped from her
finger. Are you crazy?" he de-
handed.
"No-no," said Molly shakily.

was no doubling the irmness of her
tone.
$50 be it." said William haughtily,
n with hat jammed over his eyes,,
went out of the door.
For a moment Molly felt terribly
guilty. Then, as she recalled how lit
tie protest William had made after all,
she felt a bit chagrined and decidedly
cynical that the trip to Honolulu would
be an excellent panacea for the loss of
his fiance.
With a shake of her young Shout
ders like a frisky colt let loose in a
pasture, she flew upstairs, knelt at
a bureau drawer and from beneath a
pile of lacy lingerie. an overflow from
her chest, drew a rumpled photograph.
Up into her eyes looked the quizzi-
cal eyes of Jim. To the girl they
seemed to reproach her for the lost
and wasted years. for her yielding to
the influence of those who spoke of
William as such a steady, thrifty fell
low, and Of jim as nice enough boy,
but harum-scarum, given to day
dreams. She remembered the very
first week he had gone to work after
leaving high school. He had brought
her a good share of his weeks pay
in dollhouse violets. 1t wasn't thrifty,
1t wasn't sensible-but it was youth
in its springtime of love.
my blessed Jim" she said. eff
only it isn't too late!"
That it wasn't too late was evil
dent by the alacrity with which Jim
answered the summons to call on
Molly. In exactly three minutes the
intervening three years were buried
beyond recall and the two stood ex-
actly where they had when Jim had
first told Molly he loved her.
"It won't be sealskin coats and twin
skies now, darling" he said, much as
he had said before what with my time
out in the army. But I can keep us
out of debt and"
"What we do have We'll have to-
gether," finished Molly, land that's

house will be mine and-oh, l don't
want to keep waiting and waiting until
we can have two maids and an auto

And I'm going to make viii realize

Primed with arguments, Molly
waited his comirg g. st" guess, CON
sidering it's leap year. l can at least

had just told herself when the door
bell rang and in came William.
Straight up to her chair he walked.
Congratulate me, Molly" he said.
"The firm is sending me to Honolulu
for a six months "trip to investigate
opportunities for developing one Oh
gu branch houses"
"Good enough. Will" cried Molly.
'The only thing and the mans race

opposite Molly's, he launched forth
into a glowing account of his new
prospects.
"Will," Molly interrupted him
quite suddenly, lit would make a won

"What?" said the man quickly.
"Oh, | see. Yes. dear. yes. OF course

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH

When you get over-tired day after
day, your system has to get rid of SO
much waste it can't create new energy
fast enough. The result is that your
blood is filled with waste matter. 1t
becomes clogged. You are trying to
get around with a lot of poison in your
system.
You look bad, you feel poorly. You
get out of patience easily. Ambition is
lost. You just don't care about
anything.
That is no way to live. Your blood
needs help for a time. 1t is starved.
You will find help in that fine tonic
Pepto- Mapgan. Pepto-Mangan puri-
fies the blood and fills it with red cor
puscles. In a little while you'll have
plenty of rich, red blood and you won't
know yourself. 1t isn't a magic medi-
cine. 1t contains iron and other in
gradients that feed starved blood and
make it rich and red. Physicians have
prescribed Pepto-MsDgan for years.
Pepto-M angan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. Take either kind you
prefer. One acts the same as theother.
Both contain the same ingredients. But

Do the members of the American Federation

and near -putes met at the Auditorium in Omaha
and enthusiastically applauded the statement Of
speakers that "only ten hours of hard work each
day can save the country from its present situa-

How will ten-hour day affect the workers?
With an estimate of 40,0O0,00 industrial work
ers, out of every five could be dispensed with.
That means that 100000 workers would be job
less. Since 100000 have already allowed them
selves to be thrown out of industry by the plutes
there would be an unemployed army of at least
100000. Then where would the great collect

the campaign by laying off workers by the thou

Never before has there been such favorable
time for the organization of the Left Wing move
ment in the trade unions. Unity of the Left Wing
movement is essential, but that unity should be
on the night principles. The educational work of
the Left Wing should emphasize the fact that the
purpose of industrial mionism is the abolition Of
the capitalist SYSTEM and the erection in it's place
Of the Workers Republic.
The progress of the Left Wing can be readily
measured by it's willingness to repudiate tine
yellow trade union international of Amsterdam
and to become an integral part of the Inter
national Trade Union Congress of Moscow. When
the entire labor union movement has become i'm
bued with that understanding, the plutes via

to save their power
May the Left Wing hasten it!

er.
Miss Rosena Cook started the Lib
erty school June /. The attendance
is very good and we hope to con-
tinue with this school until Christ
mas. 1t will then be let out until
March.
Miss Esther Wright started the
Krohn school about June /. Last
Tuesday Messrs. Toavs and Living
ston drove to the t. H. Shipstead
ranch and signed up Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore Kubik. Mr.. Kubik is a
graduate of the University of Neb-
raska and will teach the French
school. Mrs. Kubik is a graduate of
the Normal Training urse of the
Howell Nebraska High School. She
will teach the Krohn school. These
schools will be in session until Christ
mas. They will then be let out thru
Jan. and Feb. Miss Wright win be
transferred to either Pershing or
Box Elder.
On Wednesday Mr.. o. c. Johnson
and Mr.. Livingston visited the par
ents in the Dry Fork and Treeby
communities. Mr.. DeVaney was per-
suaded to teach the Dry Forks school.
Children in this community and the
Treeby community will be transport
ed to this school. There should be a
good attendance. School will start
Sept. 81 and continue in session until
Christmas. 1t will then let out thru
Jan. and Feb. The French school will
start Oct. A.. We plan to open the
Pershing or Box Elder on this date if
possible. A trip will be made into
this territory to find out conditions.
At present we do not see how we can
open either the Warmbrodt or Hert-
ing schools. Some of these children
have come to town. The Heinrich
school will be opened if possible.
Our difficulties are caused by the
teacher shortage. All over the coun-
try the teacher shortage is appalling.
The American people were warned of
this shortage five years ago. Little
attention was paid to it. At present
children are losing that which is
theirs by right of inheritance a
good observation-disclosures teachers
have been underpaid.
This state of affairs is to be ex-
pected until salaries are where they
should be. Even at the present high
er salaries teachers are turning from
the profession by the thousands and

notice at once the large extent of
fine graded and finished roads.
Last season Wolf Point lost a large
share of the grain from it's northwest
country because of almost impass-
able roads. Many farmers who ex-
pressed strong desire to market their
grain in Wolf Point were compelled
to market it at towns west of here,
and the same conditions to a large
extent exist this year. The CONNER
cial club has done what it could, but
cannot be expected to carry the bur
dens that belong to the county.
Rumors are plentiful that such
roadwork as has been planned in this
vicinity is being used as political pat
ronage to bolster Poplar's chances in
the county seat race. All this is adj
ded evidence that a new deal and a
square deal is needed in the admin
i~stration Of the county business.

INSPECTION AIDS EXPORTER
Federal Certificates of Importance as
They Guarantee Shipments Meet
Requirements.

An illustration of the important
service which inspectors of perishable
food, representing the bureau of mar
kets, United States department of
agriculture, are able to render export
ers, is found in the work recently done
in connection with the shipment
abroad Of 100000 pounds of butter.
This butter was destined for one of
the European countries, but because
previous uninspected shipments had
not come up to specifications, the ex-
porting house, to protect itself against
further complaints, requested United
States government inspection. This in
sured delivery of butter of the quality
called for in its contracts. The bu-
reau of markets inspectors were called
on to certify the grade of the butter
which was held in Minneapolis. Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia and New
York warehouses. These are the
points It which butter inspectors are
regularly stationed.
The inspections were made as re-
quested, and such lots as did not come
up to the stipulated o were with
held, while the rest was started on
its way. From this incident it ap-
pears that federal inspection certifi-
Gates are proving of value to export

EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF "1AzZ'
At Last the Secret (?) is Given to the
World, and by an English
man, Too.

Writing about the jazz reminds me
that a long cablegram was recently
sent from London concerning the ori-
gin of the word. According to the
cablegram, the secret is out, and it is
an Englishman who gives us the valu-
able information.
He tells us that. while Engliskmen
should not be held responsible for the
v%ernacular of their brethren in the
Western continent, the word jazz. he
admits, is now as much a household
word in England as in America. And
then he goes o. to say that the word
came from the South and from the ne
groes. Now in the South, he tells us,
there is a germ known as the hook
worm, which affects all true southern
ers. Some unkind employers call it
"1oafer-itis.'' The white employer, ac-
cording to the erudite Englishman, in
the South has many thousands of ne
groes working for him, and conse-
quently many overseers. So, not being
able to remember the names of all his
foremen, he generally names each man
Jasper, which. according to this Eng
Iishman. is a term of the highest es-
TEEN. Through the very human love
of abbreviation, Jasper became Jas"
and as the overseer's principal means
of getting work out of his underlings
is through harsh and abusive tongue,
was often requested to "Jass up"
the work. The Southern drawl makes
"Jass'' sound like "Jazz." And there
we have the word itself. And jazz
music, no matter what classic-loving
critics may say about it, at least in
spires energy. Hence the derivation
