So often to all of us comes the
time when we must decide almost
unanswerable problems. Two courses
lie open to us, neither of which looks
tempting yet we must choose which
one we will follow. The only thing
we can do is that which seems best
and in keeping with out highest ideals
and feelings. And once the die is
cast, we should not regret the step
we have taken. If we do what seems
best to us at the time, that is all
that can be expected of us. And it
probably is the best in the long run
even though subsequent events will
sometimes lead US to think different
ly. For these things are all con-
trolled by higher Power which is
working only for our good, and who
can see for better than we, just
what that good is and in which di-
rection it lies.

HERE THEY
CONE, GIRLS!

"Puss N Boots" is an old story now,
but women in Trousers" is the la
test to catch the eye of the paragraph
er.
In all of the large cities and in many
of the smaller places a neat trouser-
cite for women is making its appear
ance. And strange as it may seem,
the men take it quite as matter of
course and hardly bat an eye 1t has
utterly failed to create any kind of a
masculine commotion.
And why shouldn't the women "a
dept more sensible form of dress?
Every one knows that the clumsy
skirts with which they have been ham,
pered for ages are insanitary and germ
carriers, detrinent to health and
spreader of disease.
Man arranges his dress so as to in
sure him the greatest freedom of ac-
ton and comfort.
Can you conceive of any sane reason
| why woman should not be accorded
| the same consideration
There was great hue and cry when
the women first appeared in public
wearing riding breeches. Now it is
considered the only sensible costume
for woman when riding horse.
1t has been so with every innova-
ton since the beginning of time.
1t will be so with the new trouser-
cite. A storm of criticism will go
up, facetous remarks will be made, but
in the end women will wonder why
they did not come to their senses long
ago.
1t is only a question of time when
the cumbersome and insanitary skirt
will disappear.
Now is as good time as any other.
Take the plunge!

LONG
ARM OF Crime

Many people imagine that the pres
ent reign of crime in our great cities
has no effect upon our rural popula
ton. But they are in error.
Crime extends it's paralyzing blight
even to the remotest crossroads of the
backwoods country.
the exploits of criminals. These pa
pers are read broadcast. To the young
fellow just approaching manhood there
is a certain glamour attached to these
lurid newspaper stories which gives
to the criminal much the aspect Of a
hero.
This atmosphere can not be other
than degenerating to the young mind
just approaching maturity, especially
if the youth be weak minded and in
clned to be wild.
1t is SO right in our own community.
There is yet another side to the story
"a pitiable side to any man who is
blessed with sense of Righteousness
and desire to see justice prevail.
Many of the courts in the large CT
ties are anything but what they should
be.
Judges frequently owe their cleo
lions to politicians. The politicians
owe their power to the gang. The
gang demands that lenience be shown
certain criminals with a pull. The
politicians O. K. their demands, and
we have a strong suspicion that judi
cial necks are bowed to the yoke in
fear of disaster at coming elections.
An endless chain, with powerful
links pulling for the criminal at the
expense Of law and order.
These sordid facts are played up by
the city press, are read with avidity
by the young men of the country, and
either infame the Juvenile magma
ton or destroy respect for the courts
The long arm of crime extends even
to greater lengths than that of the law.

FOR YOUR OWN GOOD


"Man proposes, God disposes"-
often we see the working out of that
law. And how many of us are inclin-
ed to resent it. When some of our
carefully thought-out plans gang aft
aglae," we sometimes think that some
cruel fates it logging our footsteps
and closing our doors to success and
happiness. We forget that there is
One who can see the outcome of these
same plans and who knows what is
best for our own good. Instead of
growing resentful at such times, we
should realize that it is all for our
own best good or it would not have
turned out as it did.

A SHOPPING
CONVIENCE

Adrian Blair paced the rusty coun-
try road just beyond the limits of Elm
wood in the sOmber and dissatisfied
mood He had been discarded by a
woman who had attracted him, but
that had by no means broken his
heart.
Miss Blanche Worden had been to
him model of worthy girlhood-until
she had found her out. The shock had
come devastatingly. He had really
liked the peerless beauty. One day
he had covertly coaXed her pet and
favorite, diminutive black and white
Fiji, a novelty among CANNES, to fol-
low him from the Worden home pre-
paratory to embellishing the animal
with Il pretty collar.
at will give me an excuse to hurry
back and pass another delightful
hour with Blanche" he felicitated
himself. Then missing his tiny COM
panion he began search that ended
in complete disappointment. That
was an hour of scurrying and veXa-
ton for Adrian He offered every boy
he met a liberal reward for the re-
covery of Fiji. Then, crestfallen,
somehow fearful, he went to the Wor-
den home.
1t was his last visit, the very last.
Adrian had seen pettish girls in a
tantrum, but it was nothing to
Blanche She went into Mysteries
over the loss of her pet. She up
braided Adrian and scolded him,
stamped her pretty foot, her face
grew set and vicious looking. She
finally fell back upon resentment. In
fact she dropped the mask of urban
ity completely, and when Adrian
called the following morning she was
not at home, and before the week was
out he knew that she had dismissed
him as a sutton and that Wallace
Trego was now her favored chevalier.
Fiji was lost to Blanche and she
lost to Adrian. When he came to
think matters over sensibly, however,
he was convinced that he had scored
a lucky escape from a siren with a
bad temper and of fitting loyalty. He
did not exactly fancy being pointed
to as a discard speedily superseded.
He held but one further communica-
ton with Miss Worden. 1t was to
indite formal note stating that
neither time, money nor diligence
should be spared to recover the lost
Fiji. Later he went for week of

LOOKING
FORFEATHERS

The more we hear of this PROPOSE
ton to lend Europe another ship load
of money the more Objectionable the
whole scheme appears.
Europe is not in good condition, we
admit But Europe has land, it has
the tools and machinery for cultivating
the land, and it has the men to use the
tools.
Of course, with so many men killed
in the war, it might become necessary
for a few of the gilded dandies to soil
their hands with honest toll in order
to secure the necessary production of
foodstuffs. But that would do them
good-it might even eventually raise
them to the status of real men.
Europe wants to feather it's nest,
to manual labor to bring about this
much desired result. 1t prefers that
the United States furnish the feathers.
But, somehow, we are forced to the
conclusion that we have feathered e.
nough nests on the other side of the
Atlantic.
Europe knows there is to be anoth-
err great war, and wants to set it's
house in order to meet it. Being short
on feathers, our good foreign friends
are averse to pursuing the slow pro-
cess of waiting for them to grow. 1t
is easier to pluck them from Uncle
Sam, even if Uncle has to turn his
pockets inside out in order to accomo-
date his good friends abroad.
But Uncle's hundred million chill
dren can't see it from the same angle
They are distressingly perverse and
| stubborn.
Then, too, Europe is panied at the
| volume of foreign trade American
| manufacturers have built up since the
war began. They desire exceedingly
to bolster up their own manufacturing
interests, and to divert this flow OF
yellow metal toward their own empty
Golfers.
| But to do this requires money
much money-and the easiest and SIM
| plest way is to pluck it from Uncle.
| But even Uncle himself is becoming
skeptical. He has loaned our dear
friends in Europe billions of dollars al
| ready, and he can't even collect the
/ interest on the loans. When he will be
able to collect the principal, the Lore
only knows.
Citizens of the United States are
/ paving enormous income taxes in or
der to keep the ship of state afoat
and now word comes from Washing
ton that we will have to cut expenses
/ or raise taxes or sell more bonds.
| Our great army has flown to the
| four winds, our navy is almost out Of
| business for lack of men, and our mil
lions of war material has been sold tt

rest and reorganization of his dis
turbed faculties to the little town of
Elmwood The road he now trav-
ersed was part of his regular daily
hike. He strobe along, swinging his
walking stick, when a scudding figure
flashed past him. 1t was that of a
tiny animal wearing a blanket made
of some light material. This did not
so completely cover the creature that
Adrian could not make out color and
form.
Fiji" he shouted, and started
after the flying animal, but when he
had gone hardly fifty feet, through the
open gateway of farmhouse a great
mastiff came plunging with a savage
growl, seized the little animal, tore its
blanket to tatters, threw Fiji in the
air, and was about to seize it again
in its vicious jaws when Adrian
reached the spot and gave the aggres-
sor a rap that sent it bowling out Of
view.
"You poor little exile!" spoke
Adrian sympathizingly as he took up
the trembling, whimpering refugee
and then the cloth fragments scat
tered upon the ground. He noticed a
spool of thread and some pieces of
lace. AS he placed these in his
pocket boy passed him.
"Say, mister" he observed, chats
Amy Pearce's dog. She lives just
where the road bends"
Fiji snuggled confidingly in the arms
of his rescueer and there was a reward
for Adrian's kindness, for when he
had located this Amy Pearce he
found himself in the presence of a
lovely creature of eighteen who
listened to his story with tremulous
agitation.
Eff was picked up shivering and
crying in a ditch by uncle on his last
trip to the city" she explained. "He
is dear, true friend, for I've trained
him so that whenever [ see anything
at the town store my cousin owns, |
just put a note in the pocket of the
blanket and what | order comes back
the same way"
+ The bright, lovable little maiden
sat down and cried as if her heart
would break when Adrian explained
where Fiji had come from. He tried
to comfort her by hoping that the real
owner of Fiji might be influenced to
allow the animal to remain in tbs
new home, and when he went to the
city the next day a memory of the
innocent wild rose face of Amy Pearce
urged him to plead her cause at any
cost. Adrian sent an emissary to in
terview Miss Worden. He returned
with queer expression on his face
Miss Worden says if anyone wants
Fiji for ten dollars they can have
him." he reported at seems that
her new lover made her present of
a Mexican hairless, the oddity of
which has completely obliterated all
her fancy for Fiji
And glad of an excuse to again
meet Amy Pearce, Adrian sped back
to her, and her JOY at being able to
retain possession of her cherished

The people who make a lot of fuss
and hustle III this world never ac-
complish half as much to give nearly
the same amount of pleasure as the
quiet ones who attend strictly to bust
ness without fuss or noise, and pur-
sue the even tenor of their ways, at
the same time consulting the pleas
ure of their friends without making
their kindness too uncomfortably evil
dent.
The ability to find fault is consider
ed by some people as a sure sign of
superior insight, when in the majority
of cases it is only the indication of
shallowness and i'll nature. One de-
