Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
three young girls who find it abso-
Iutely necessary to associate with
a young man who tells smutty stor-
les and takes the wrong meaning
out of everything you say. Please
tell US IL we ought to say anything
to him or how We should act.
ANXIOUS HEART.
I think you should write the boy
a note and tell him that when Re
tells suutty stories and takes the
wrong meaning in what you say lie
humiliates and hurts you. Say that
you admire him so much in other
ways that you cannot bear to think
of his going through life looking
at the dirty side instead of the
beautiful. Say that other people
are criticfsing him and as his friend
you want to suggest that he try
to oyercoms his fault.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
girl 20 years old. Last winter L
went with young man two years
my senior. He was d nice and
good-hearted man. We went to
church where meetings were held
en- Sunday afternoon We had a !
society meeting every Monday
night. My parents objected to my
seeing and boy and so I went to |
girls house and talked to |
him. fell in love with the boy
and found out later he was in |
love with me. One night we went
to party and he brought me home. |
We had quarrel and 1 found OUT |

 'I say to you.'' spoke the com moner in indicting the middleman, that the farmers condition Is worse today than it was 31 years ago when l entered Congress. This year he sells at prices down and has to buy at prices up. They are getting the same price for their wheat they re- ceived 41 years ago. They get the same for their corn they did 2l years ago. They are paying 100 per cent more for what they have to buy.
 "The middlen.en are growing big ger and heavier all the time, They are organized. In every capital they have their lobbyists. I know that and met them when I was in public life myself The farmer must turn nation. The producers must be pro- tected on one side the consumer on the other.

 Ford's offer would result in him receiving 600,000 horsepower at s2 per thousand. James offers to pay $1 per annum average horsepower the first year and an amount in- creased by 50 cents per annum un- til the ninth year when he agrees to pay s6.50 for the remainder of the lease.
 He offers to take any amount of horsepower developed from mini mum to maximum capacity. He agrees to operate the nitrate plant for fer tiiizer and like Ford would limit his profit to 8 per cent
 Secretary weeks announced this afternoon that on Monday afternoon he would received W. B. Mayo, chief of the engineers in the service of MT. Ford. The conference will be preliminary. The secretary will submit criticisms of the Ford offer to which Mir. Ford will make answer at a subsequent date.
