And then-in the fall" Grace
continued her story, Tom came
again and once more took me away.
He brought me here-and that, Miss
Sorensen, is the end of the story so
far as Tom and L are concerned"
How queer, l thoueht-Tom has
made this the haven of two girls for
whom he feared.
l didn't much like the idea of
having been directed to the same
place TO which he had directed a girl
who had come up as Grace had; yet
l had to confess that the thought
was unworthy.
Why shouldn't Tom have been as
c~onsiderate of Grace as of me-
weren't we each a woman trying to
find ourselves in a world which had,
for us. gone awry?
Grace was speaking again.
There is just n more thing I
want to say-in regard to Tom-that
will count more to you-perhaps-
than anything else"

There are men," Grace was
speaking, whom, though they go
dangerously near to the flame, come
out u%nseared. Tom is one of them.
I'VE often think that men, every
man, likes to wade in the mire and
that there is never any regret for a
past-but were wrong there, Miss
~Sorensen. Goodness is sexless.

MUSKOGEE, Okla.-Miss Alice
Robertson, Oklahoma congresswom-
an, herself an expert cook, believes
that domestic artists are entitled to
political positions.
That's why she picked Mrs. Otis
r. Cureton as her choice for post
mistress of Oklahoma.
Mrs. Cureton built up a reputa-
ton for serving chicken dinners and
steak a-la-minute, in a minute, in
the Sawokla restaurant, which for
merly belonged to Miss Robertson.
So her former boss figured that
Mrs. Cureton would handle mail in
the same speedy fashion.
Mrs. Cureton is a native of Dan
Vile, Indiana, and is a former school
teacher.
When she took over the postoffice
position she became the highest sal
aried woman official in Oklahoma.

MINNESOTA'S LOSS

Minnesota is this week mourning

Mike Bowling, was a man above
par, a man whom the world might
we'll pay tribute to for the numerous
gifts and assistance he has rendered

continents.
Suffering from the loss of both
legs and one arm, Mike Bowling did

opportunity, and in spite of his great

handicap, so educated himself as to
worlds business and to render every
possible aid to others, who like him
self, suffered from permanent injury.
During the war, Mr.. Bowling gave
most efficient service to his country.
Following the close Of the contest, he
was sent to ENGLAND where he lectur-
ed tn the disabled soldiers in the
hospitals and encouraged them in
their affliction.
AS a business man Mike Bowling
was admired by all with whom he
came in contact. AS a man, he was
beloved by thousands.
He was a genial, lovable compan-

as he was a tried and true friend.

DODGE THE CITIES

In this season of apparent unrest,
there has been considerable desire
among the younger employed to
leave the small town and seek en-
ployment in the larger cities.
Just at this time, it is hard to con-
that there is absolutely nothing do
ing" in the way of work in the Twin
Cities. Everything is at stand-still
and hundreds are tramping the city
streets and sleeping in the parks.
There is no immediate outlook for
Improvement.
In Minneapolis. the situation is so
desperate that many of the theatres
will close for the summer for want ct
patronage. This situation is. unique
inasmuch as the theatre is usually
the last of the business enterprises
to be affected. The public as a gen.
eral thing, demand entertainment
regardless Of consequences.
Railroads are laying off men reg
ularly. Big business houses are
cutting down help and salaries and
the average city laborer is looking
to the country for support during
the summer season.
Stay away from the cities if you
desire to progress during the coming
summer season. The condition is
discouraging in all branches Of &C
tivity.
