My sister Gladdis was up in her
room reeding and eating chocklit car
nTels out of a bag and 1 kepp on ask
ing her to give me one and she kepp
on saying she ony had a few and
couldent spare eny, being a heck of a
Excuse. and after 1 asked her about
10 times without eny good result sed
All rite then, Stingy, jest for that I'm
never going to speek to you agen.
Crate news, I'm glad to heer it, sed
Gladdis. re
All rite, you'll see, I sed. And after
a vile Nora rang the dinner bell for
suppir and we all went down and I
tawked to everybody but Gladdis. and
pritty soon I wunted some butter and
it was rite in frunt of G1addis and
reetched all the ways across the table
SO I wouldent half to ask her for it;
and pop sed, Heer heer, wat are you
doing, eating suppir or giving a aero
batick performants? How meny times
have I told you to ask like gentle
man and not reetch like a octopuss
And we kepp on eating and pritty
soon wunted another hunk of bred
and the bred tray was in frunt of
GIaddiS, me thinking, C, I cant eat
her to pass it, heck. WITCH jest then
I had a good ideer, saying, Was that

ma sed. dident heer enything.
Neither did enybody elts, sit down,

No, 1 yelled mad as enything. And
I gave the bottom of the bred tray a
slam and the bred went in different
direcktions, on account of each slice
going a different direcktion and ony

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am IS years
old. l go to church in another city,
but the boys in our church do not APP
peal to me. Please tell me how to
become acquainted with some nice
boys without flirting, as 1 do not be-
lieve in it.
Why is it that I have many boy
friends when I go to any public affair.
but none of them ever offer to bring
me home. All the other girls have
fellows to go home with them, but L
am nearly always alone.
BLUE-EYED BOBBIE.
Be neat and sweet and lovable to
your girl friends and the older people
you know, forgetting as far as possible
that you are not popular with boys.
There is really nothing a girl can do
to make boys go with her. She simply
has to wait until some boy notices her
and seeks her company.
1 do not know why you are not
escorted home from public affairs. If
were in your place 1 would not go
unless accompanied by someone ana
then you would be spared the embar-
rassment of returning home alone.

A Marriage Contract-t.

A Marriage Contract.
often think that it would be a wise
thing if an engaged couple would
down together and draw up a mar
rage, contract to which both of them
would subscribe, and in which the
duties, and obligations, and rights. and
privileges of each would be clearly set
forth.
For, you see. the trouble with matri-
mony is that before taking, it concerns
itself only with glittering generalities,
and after taking, it deals almost en-
tirely with specific facts. That is
where the rub comes in. A youth and
a maiden enter into the holy estate
with only the vague idea that they are
going to love and cherish each other,
and make each other blissfully happy,
but when they find out that to pro-
mote another's wel-being requires
personal sacrifice, each refuses to be
the family goat.
Il should never have married if 1
had known that matrimony meant the
kitchen for me, and scrimping along
on measly allowance that isn't half
what I earned in my old Job" saws the
woman. Wild horses couldn't have
dragged me to the altar" says the
man, IF I had had the remotest sus-
picion that marriage turned a man
into a wage-slave without even an eve
ming off, as a servant girl has,
1t speaks volumes for the heart,
and nothing for the head, that the
great majority of married couples
have signed on the dotted line of the
marriage license without ever making
the slightest investigation of the pro-
visions of the life contract, or wen at
tempting to find out what was ex-
pected of them. Perhaps this is the
reason that the firm of Benedict & Co.
so often goes bankrupt
Everybody's experience proves to
them that loose business methods in
variabiy end in disaster. 1t is the
"Gentlemen's Agreement" the family
understanding, the verbal promise, the
things that We're implied, or taken for
granted. that gave the dishonest, the
grating, and the cheats their oppor-
tunity, and that lose people their
friends as well as their money. The
rock bottom, copper-riveted contract,
the signed note, the receipt, leave no
room for anyone's individual interpre-
tation of an obligation and prevents
hard feeling as well as loss.
So the mere writing down Of the
marriage agreement in which both of
the high contracting parties stipulated
what they thought they had a right
to demand of the other would do more
than anything else to clarity the situa-
ton. 1t would make both the man
and the woman realize the gravity of
what they are undertaking, and they
would, at least, know the weight of the
burdens they are shouldering instead
of having them dumped Unexpectedly
upon them.
According to the statistics of the di-
yorce courts the three things that do
more than anything else to cause do
nestle discord are the money ques-
ton. in-laws, and wives extravaga nee.
All of these bones of contention
could be eliminated by the marriage
contract.

Dinner Stories

In London club. when the Chinese
minister happened to be present, a
rather tactless speaker referred to the
position of women in China and how
they were. debarred from so many of
the privileges of men. He meant no
i'll, but what he said was indiScreet
and led to moments embarrassing
silence, after which the conversation
was resumed on other subjects.
The minister did not speak for a
while, but presently, during pause,
ne turned to the man who had made
the critical remark:
This is a very beautiful club you
have here. sir"
Eyes, belive it is the finest"
Much finer than your ordinary
private houses?"
certainly. None of our private
houses are as large and beautiful as
this" was the response.
Il suppose you have your women
here-your mothers and sisters and
wives and daughters. OF course, you
must have them here to enjoy your
beautiful house with YOU"
why, no. 1t is against the rules.
They are not allowed here at ALL"
why not?" said the minister
And the clubman saw the point.

PITY THE pooR CONSUMERS!

--ecently there was held in Wash
ington, a special tariff convention.
under the auspices of the National
Manufacturers association. Several
articles manufactured in Germany
and Austria were exhibited showing
the disparity in production costs of
those articles in their countries Of
origin and in the United States
Two -thermos bottles were placed
side by side. The German bottle was
billed thru the United States customs
house on German invoice at
II marks. which at the then rate of
exchange was equal to So cents
American money. The duty on this
type of bottle, its chief value being
its metal case, was 20 per cent, .or
II cents. Adding freight and other
expenses, the laid down cost for the
bottle in America was 1872 cents.
These bottles, it was pointed out,
el,aA sold by a subsidiary company of
the importers. who operate a chain of
stores in New York City, at 90 cents
each. The American consumer. there
fore 1t was shown, paid a profit on
these German bottles OF about 500
per cent. A comparative American
bottle manufactured by the American
Thermos Bottle company. with fac
tories in Connecticut. New York and
West Virginia, is put out at an aver
age production cost OF s1.0t and re-
tails for $3.50.

In Washington it seems to be re-
garded as strongly probable that the
United States win not participate in
the economic conference to be held
in Genoa. This course looks like a
wise one. This country has nothing
to gain and much to lose thru partici-
patton in such a conference. Our at
tendance would much resemble the
advent of man with hank roll into
camp of hoboes. Probably the pro-
moters queered the thing for US when
they invited the bolsheviki.

Commenting on the announcement
that the government is to sue war
plane makers for alleged overpay-
ments on war contracts, the Sioux
City Tribune says: IF the govern
ment would go into all such contracts
it might find and recover sufficient
funds to take care of adjusted COM
pensation." True, it might. but prob
ably most of the soldiers would be
dead before the government had col
lected the money.

ETERNITY.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

EIEHNIIHs
There shall be glory for US all at last
The brave, the timid and the weak and
strong,
The hearts that hoped, yet floundered
into wrong
When the harsh judgment Of the world is
passed
And cold, grim cynics cease to stand
aghast;
There shall be music in the humble song.
And good in him, the poorest of the
throng,
And some perfection in the faulty cast
There shall be peace for all Of us to share.
Long days of rest and nights that bring
woe,
Laughter and love and friendship wait US
there
In that far world to which we all must go.
There, when our souls break from their
walls of clay.
That which is best in us shah fad fun
