TODAY IN ALEDO
AND MERCER COUNTY
DUST FLIES AS
LADIES ATTACK
THE COURT HOUSE

Visitors ut the courthouse In
Aledo this morning we're welcomed
by . cloud Of dust, which upon in
vestigation was found to be issuing
from Memorial hall. A number OF
members Of the Woman's Relief
corps had gathered at an early
hour and when the usual hour for
visitors arrived the building pre-
scented an appearance not unlike q
cyclone struck edifice. Memorial
hall was being given its annual
cleaning and the remainder OF the
courthouse saw the effects. The
corridor Of the first floor was filled
with chairs and pictures for several
hours. One of the members said
this morning that the annual clean
ing day was one of the happiest in
the annals Of the organization as
all the members who desired to do
so could ransack the place and see
many pictures and other memorials
which remained hidden except on
cleaning day.

STOCKS RALLY
AFTER STREAK
OF UNLOADING

New York, Aug. "A break Of
4 cents in sterling due to the un-
settled Polish situation. together
with rumors Of new financing and
poor earnings Of various industrial
Corporations caused short selling
on the exchange today. The mar
ket. however, showed plain evil
dence OF being over-sold. and when
support appeared for certain
stocks, prices rallied briskly. The
rebound carried the leaders up l
to 4 points with marked strength
in certain Of the industrials, equip
ments, oils, motors and railroads.
The inquiry for the standard rail-
road shares impaired q stimulating
influence, but general buying was
rather cautious because Of the SEN
sitiveness of some Of the specula-
tive industrials and the unfavorable
credit condition. United States
Steel duplicated yesterdays low
figure of 853s, but robounded to
near 81. Baldwin and the invest
ment oil stock also displayed pro-
nounced strength.

Few Of us escape measles-it
is one of the commonest of child
hood diseases. Every mother
knows the symptoms, but the
mistake that most mothers make
is in failing to realize that the
child is not fully recovered after
the eruption and fever disappear.
The air passages are still infamed
and if this inflammation is not
cleared up, the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving the
way for pneumonia or serious
disease of the lungs.
Nightly applications of Wick s
VapoRub will aid nature in
relieving this inflammation. Be
cause Vicks acts locally by slim
ulation thru the skin to draw
out the inflammation, attract the
blood away from the congested
spots and relieve the cough. In
addition, the medicinal ingre-
dients of Vicks are vaporized by
the body heat. These vapors
are breathed in all night long,

CHAPTER XIV.

Through my brain again and again
flashed these questions:
'Wifs or country? Wife or country?
Does a man, ten days married, go back
to war If marriage has brought him
happiness? Has Jim tired of meal
ready:"
I remembered something he had said
to me on our very first morning at Wal
grave. 1 had to put it into words-to
discuss it with him.
Jim, do you remember-just two days
ago, when you brought me here-that
you said perhaps you'd never had any
right to marry me? Was this-why?''
Anne, can't you see I'm trying to make
train? I'll never get my things packed
If you keep nagging at me. How do
know what meant a couple of days ago?
Give fellow a hand here-theres a good
old girli'
And so-with the unanswered question
between US, I helped Jim pack. He
needed my help. and handing him
brushes and combs and handkerchiefs
and packages Of documents, gave me back
the feeling of belonging In his life. The
world might totter about me later, but
for the present 1 must see that my hus-
band didn't start off without the proper
quota Of pajamas.
When 1 could keep silence no longer
ventured a question:
limits our first separation. VIII
you-miss me:"
Il sure will" replied my husband
heartily. Yet he'd used as deeply emo
tional a tone in discussing the lack of
wheat bread in America.
I'D like to 60 to the station with you.
1t won't cost any more I'll walk back"
I suggested.
II should say not. wouldn't trust
my girl to a strange "a xi driver at this
hour Of the night, and walking is out of
the question"
Of course, as a business woman, 7 had
Travelled the streets at all hours Of the
night. but Jim's protecting attitude gave
me a tiny thrill of joy. After he was
gone I got cold comfort from wondering
If he had been afraiad ] would make
fuss at the station.
Jim's arms were strong as he held me
ciose-his lips throbbed against nina
"I'lI be back to you III. a day or two,
dear-Ill want you all the more because
I can't have even a kiss for a while"
But I knew he was eager to be of for
Washington. Ahead lay the short sepa-
ration-and then what? Ten days mar
ried and the war was calling Jim. Even
before be had been my lover he hsd loved
his country-he had been a sol6ieri
Could 1 give him back to his country
to my country? Could I be brave as
were other women all over our land? I
