dangerous enough in the old days
when sailing ships ploughed along at
an average of a few miles an hour.

miles) an hour was considered high

the direction in which it is going and

1t is reported that the Patrons
OF Husbandry-the Grangers-have
voted unanimously in favor of the re-
tention of the anti-strike clause in the
Cummins railroad bill. The very fact
that labor unions protest against en-
actment of the anti-strike provision
is evidence enough that whenever it
suits their pleasure they will strike to
enforce their demands. The protest
of the unions against the provision
should cause the rest of the people to
insist upon its enactment for protec-
ton of their own rights and the well
fare Of the nation. Even tho a strike
may never be called. the possibility of
a strike is a constant menace which
every business man must consider in
every undertaking and in every con-
tract he may make. That uncertainty
is one of the hazards of every business
that depends upon transportation for
its continuance.

friends and went to a dance. He

of girls and even danced with my
girl friends before he danced with
me. When he did ask me I didn't
want to refuse because 1 was afraid
he would think was jealous of him.
He was leaving town at this time
and asked me to write him. 1 wrote
a letter, but received no answer. What
would you advise me to do?

I would advise you TO forget the
young man entirely. He has forfeited
the right to your friendship.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When a
young man calls to take a girl to a
show or out riding. is it proper for
him TO wait on the porch or should
he not come in the parlor and wait
until the girl gets her hat and wrap
He is always invited in.
