With all the emphasis OF which we
are capable we predict that the way
is being made ready for a new era OF
high prices, resulting from deficiency
in supply, and that unless there is i'm
mediate relief OF some sort given the
producers, the consumers of the world
will find themselves at this time next
year in a far worse state than the
farmers are now inf that be posi-
ble.-Manufacturers Record.
Nothing could afford the producers
a greater measure of understanding
that they need relief-than the very
condition which the Record predicts.
When there is a deficiency in supply,
then the producer reaps his harvest
of dollars. Luckily for the world In
general such predictions seldom If
ever, come true. Producers go on pro-
ducing and consumers go on consum-
ing. while the alarmists continue TO
ply their calling and the earth re-
mains in it's orbit.

What Quality Do Men Most Admire
in WOmen-2.


in Women-2.
Cleverness? The majority of men
still like feminine brains best when
they are scrambled. Only a small
minority of men are big enough, and
intelligent enough, themselves, to like
women who are as well educated as
they are, and who have as much sense
as they have. The average mans
vanity demands aduIation from
woman. It requires a woman to look
up to him and defer to him, and that
is why clever women never let men
find out how clever they are. Very
be,
As for wit, a woman commits hara-
kiri with q man when she says bril-
liant and sarcastic things, or shows
that she is good at repartee. Men
have an insane fear of ridicule, and
they are always afraid that such a
women is being funny at their expense.
I have never known woman who
laughed much who was popular with
men. Men have a morbid dread that
the woman who laughs, will laugh at
them.
No. 1t is not the snowy qualities
in women that attract men. 1t Is
womanliness, that subtle something
that differentiates the sexes. and that
ma kes their attraction for each other.
fine what womanliness is. It's gentle
ness, for one thing. You cannot
imagine the wonanly woman being
rough, and rude. and coarse. You
cannot think of her dressing in vulgar
clothes, or making an imitation man
of herself, or swearing or telling Off
color stories.
The very essence OF her Is delicay
and refinement, and every man who
comes near her. discovers IN his bosom
unknown symptoms of chivalry, and
he wants to take care of her and help
her. I have known business women
who were able to carry this quality
of womanliness into their business.
and 1t was worth a fortune as an as
set, because it made every man give
them a hand up.
And another thing, womanliness at
tracts men because it has in it the
quality of tenderness, of motherliness
Men never get over being boys. They
are kids at heart when they are eighty,
and what man wants IN a woman is
not a judge, but a confessor. He
wants to go to some woman who will
condone his faults, and weep over
them, and forget them, and love him
in spite Of them.
Men spend their days with other
men. When they want to discuss big
| topics, they talk about them to men
| who are experts along these lines.
When they come home at night, or
seek woman's society, they want a
change. They like to be petted, and
cajoled, and made much Of, and fed
upon >flub-dubby babble about trifles.
That is why the womanly woman, who
bores other women stiff, never seems
to get on the nerves of men.
Perhaps when you come down to
| brass tacks, it's mans egotism that
makes him prefer the womanly woman
| to her more brilliant sisters, but how
ever that may be, the woman who is
gentle. and tender. and sweet. is the
one who wins out with men. and who
can marry as often as she likes.

mol Really. Grace. didn't tell me
that. I was born there
And then the doctor was in for it,
properly. Such a volley of questions
and inquiries and so flat and disap-
pointing were the answers that fol-
lowed that Helen was more than a
little suspicious that he had never seen
the word, Cedar Rapids printed even.
She turned from him a trifle annoyed.
The doctor was in a fine position
for a man who has just decided that
he has met the only girl and looked
around desperately for relief.
Suddenly a telephone bell rang and
rang.
Helen heard it and her heart flut-
tered. Tom looked worried. Grace
startled and only Doctor Gavin seemed

Helen, but her voice held more of en-
ticement to continue than she was
quite aware of.

MORE r. r.. LEGISLATION.

1t is reported that an important
message on the railroad situation is to
be sent by President Harding to the
extra session of congress.
Dissatisfaction of railroad en-
pioyes with wage cuts, complaints of
shippers at high rates and pleas of
railroad managers that many lines are
facing bankruptcy. all have been
brought to the presidents attention
1t is doubtful that either Mr.. Hard
I ing or the congress can do much in
the direction of alleviating the condi-
tions. Relief from the situation COM
planned of lies with the railroads them
selves. the Interstate commerce com
mission, and the railroad labor board.
The thing of primary Importance
to be done is the reduction of freight
rates to a point where the business of
the country can proceed in a normal
way. This could be followed by a re-
duction of wages without working a
hardship on the employees. owing to
the lower cost of living, which would
be brought about thru reduced trans
portation charges.
AS the situation now presents itself,
food costs are excessive because pro-
Queer and consumer ara separated by
prohibitive freight rates. Cattlemen in
the grazing regions cannot ship their
stock to the feeding grounds because
the price received would not pay the
freight. In the truck farming areas
of the southwest, vegetables are rot
ting in the fields or being fed to hogs,
while long lines of refrigerator cars
stand idle on the sidings and consum-
ers in northern markets are unable to
pay prices which would induce the
movement OF these crops.
What can the government do in the
way OF remedying such a situation ?
Any attempt to afford relief probably
would aggravate conditions. There
has been too much meddling already.
Business interests are afraid to act on
their own initiative. They no longer
know what to do or what not to do.
There has grown up a habit of run
ming to Washington with every trou-
BILE that arises and in the railroad
problem there always is looming the
spectre of government ownership

President Harding's effort to obtain
ratification of the Colombian treaty
seems to have encountered the same
old obstruction-the opposition OF the
Bull Moose. Ratification of the treaty
is regarded by this element as a con-
fession that Roosevelt was wrong
when he relieved Colombia OF a slice
of her territory in the way that he ala.
They have been licked by the stand
uatters but they refuse to apologize
for what has passed. The treaty Is oil
little interest to the public. We have
the canal; it is doing big business
and is paying its way. Colombia has
been greatly benefited but she has
been sulBy for years.

1t is estimated that the revised and
improved edition of the public util-
tiles commission will cost the taxpay-
ers $4,000 a year in salaries alone
,The old commission, while receiving
less pay, cost the people MUCH more
than that sum. Its meddling with the
gas problem alone has cost the pub
lie an amount which probably runs
into the millions. Public utilities
commissions come high, but it seems
the public service corporations must
have them.

The advance of the allies into Ger

The advance OF the allies into Ger
many was easy. So was Napoleon's
Advance into Russia. But they may
find it less easy to get out than it
was to get in. Germany's penetration
of France in 1914 was rapid and not
difficult for while. But the retire
ment was hurried and more or less
disastrous. True the Germans are in
no position to fight. But neither were
the Russians when they started Bona
parte on his return from Moscow.
Guns are not the only implements of
war.

The farmers who are organizing a
marketing association probably are
paying little attention to the efforts
