NAMING OF. CABINET POSTPONED
President-eIeet Harding to Wait un-
III Final Selections Of All.

Marion O.-President-elect Harding
has given up his plan of making early
definite selections for two or three OF
the more important portfolios in the
cabinet.
Mr.. Harding said that after several
weeks of consultation he was not dis
posed to commit himself in regard to
any Cabinet place until he was ready
to make final selections for all. He
added that he considered his difficult
ties only normal manifestations of
personal and fractional cross currents,
and said with a smile that the situa-
ton was not keeping him awake

There may be happier times than this,
But if there are I've never known them,
And wake the pas and mas who own

What if the sun be up or not.
Another perfect day is dawning,
And is il not a happy lot
With such delight to greet the morning !:
Sometimes 1 hear them quit their bed
And catch their barefoot pitter- patter
And other times they're at my head
Before l know what is the matter.
Brigands to rob us of our sleep
They come-their weapons love and

And tho we're locked in slumber deep.
They always get the joy they're after.
Some days there are when we would lie
Then back to bed awhile" We cry
But oh, our love for them is stronger
Yes, stronger than our wish TO sleep
And so We couptermand the order
And let that pair of brigandg leap
With wild delight across loves border.
There may be happier times than this,
But IL there are I've never known them,
When youngsters jump in bed to kiss
E And wake the pas and mas who own

Who never feel those glad hands shake

Who rise by day to toll and strife
But have no little tots to wake them.

PAYING FOR SERVICE.

High prices in the restaurants is de-
Tended by Farm Life" in the follow
ing:
You sell a pound of beef on the
hoof at the yards, for 10 cents. Then
you go down town to restaurant and
pay a dollar for it. That does not
mean, however, that somebody, or
even group of somebodies, has been
profiteering to the tune of 80 cents.
Perhaps nobody has profiteered. You
have been paying for service. Nat
urally you didn't want to kill and dress
your own beef, and cook your steak
On a sharpened stick over an open
fire in the woods. You wanted all
the ngs-the orchestra, the
table linen, the silyerware, etc. And,
most of all, you wanted somebody to
take that steak and keep it on ice for
you, with a cook and a fire waiting,
so that when you stepped into the
restaurant and said, Gimme a good
porterhouse steak you could have it
right on the spot You wanted the
service. Everybody wants service,
Much of what the editor says may
be true, but what people object to is
paying a dollar for a steak when they
have bought better one in other
places for less money. This is what
gives them the impression that some
thing is wrong,
The same principle applies in many
other lines. Take the laundry. for in

iron his own shirts and collars. viii

How Men Propose-1.
BY DOROTHY DIX
,rld'a Hlrhesk Paid Woman WI

HOW men HrOpOSe-ls
A young clerk in a. postoffice in a
suburb of Chicago has been caught
opening the fat letters that went thru
his hands. He was suspected of be-
ing dishonest, and on the lookout for
money, but investigation proved that
he was just a love thief. The only
letters he tempered with were those
addressed to girls, and he rifled them
in an effort to find out how other men
made love, and how to pop the ques-
ton.
1t will come with a shock of sur
prise to women to learn that any man
is driven to such desperate straits for
hints on how to propose. We had
supposed that a knowledge of how to
make love came to man by nature, as
Dogberry thought a knowledge of
reading and writing did. Also, we
were more than suspicious that most
women are not slow in feeding a man
sentimental cues, and have wit enough
to give a hating lover the final shove
over the brink of proposal when they
have Iured him that far along the path
of courtship.
1t appears that this is a superficial
view of the matter, however, and that
there are still men who choke when
they try to tell a girl that she is the
only woman in the world for them,
and who are smitten with pen paraly-
sis when they start to write it. Hence
the world is full of-exasperated women
who have grown weary waiting for the
men to speak who have monopolized
their attention, and burnt out their
electricity, and never come to the
point.
1t is to this class of dumb lovers
that the postoffice Romeo belongs, and
if they can get any tips from stealing
from other lovers, let the good work
go on.
AS a matter of fact, it nnu~4 be adj
mitted that, considering TIT men
lovemaking ever since Adam told Eve
she was 1t in the Garden of Eden,
they do it very badly.
They balk at the critical moment.
They are tongue-tied when they
should be fluent. They choose the
wrong time and place, and generally
bungle the situation They outrage
the artistic proprieties. They sit down
and squash the halo of romance that
a woman has woven about the affair.
Every woman has dreamed of being
wooed in lovely Booth Harrington
language, and of being able to treasure
the memory of her proposal to her
dying day, but when the time comes
the man shoVes commonplace ques-
ton at her in a commonplace way, and
it skaters the ideals of a lifetime.
When the average man asks a girl
to marry him she bursts into tears.
He thinks she is weeping with joy at
getting such a good thing as he is.
In reality, she is crying with disap-
pointment at the way he did it. She
had expected to be able to tell her
grandchildren how grandpa proposed,
but-well, one of the secrets that no
woman ever tells is what her husS
band said when he really popped the

When we get to know God quite
well, the first thing we notice about
Him is that He spends so much of
His time in keeping track of those
who stray afar. He is always the
Good Shepherd"
And as the watcher of His sheep, He
has great concern for the one that
can't keep up with the big hero and
stumbles and maybe falls over a rock
and is wounded.
1t would be very fine if we never
lost our way, never wandered, never
stumbled.
But if that were the case, how
would we come TO know the depths of
feeling out of which the strong man
moulds his love, his sympathy. his
