Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young man and have lately become
engaged to a wonderful girl. We
are very congenial and I recently
gave her a diamond ring which she
is wearing. AS yet we have set no
date for the wedding, but all our
friends know that we are to be
married.
Why is Il that friends oftsa try
to hurt one? I am living with
three friends IN an apartment and
they are continually saying unkind
things about my lady friend. l DO
not really think they are sincere,
but their remarks are certainly not
IN keeping with our friendship.
have let them know that ! do not
like their attitude, but it only
makes them worse.
What should l do: l do not feel
that l can tolerate their remarks
any longer. although they are all
old and dear friends. II you will
please answer this letter In your
column / shall appreciate 1t. greatly.
Yours In trouble. OK.
Your friends apparently cannot
resist teasing you since they sue
coed so well. l do not blame YOU
fer rssenting vulgarity since It con-
Germs the girl you are going to
marry. They don't believe what
they say. however, and n you show
ed no annoyance they would cease
to enjoy thoir teasing. Under the
circumstances, take what they saw
without showing annoyance. Since
you are to be married, it would be
better to remain with your room
mates until that time than to lose
their friendship. Appreciate the
soceness OF their hearts and try to
excrse their vuigsrity and lack of
taste IN what they say.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My hus-
band and l haye been married four
years and kave been parted. I went

NO PROFITEERING HERE
Report Circulated That Local Mercf,-
ant Called on CARPET False

A short time ago a rumor was cur
rent on the streets that number of
our merchants had been called on the
carpet by an agent of the federal gov
eminent and fined for profiteering,
and mention was made of three indi-
vidual firms. The statement was so
preposterous and irregular that the
matter was permitted to go without
much attention being given it, as the
procedure that had been followed by
the officer, according to the statement
was impossible.
This week that matter was again
brought to our attention and after a
thorough investigation the statement
was found to hove been manufactured
out of whole cloth. nothing of the kind
hver having taken place in the city.
Whether the story was circulated to
injure the local merchants or not or
was just the thoughtless ranting of
&ome confirmed knocker, we are un-
able to state. However, if patrons of
