Miss Harriet Jones was the hostess at a
dinner given at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Howell Jones on Topeka
avenue, Monday night. for Miss Mabel

orations were rarely beautiful and artistic
and were marked by notable departure
from familiar ideas. The bare surface of
the large round table was covered with
piece and circular dOylies at each cover.
and the name cards which were of plain
white lettering in green were in medallion
shape to correspond In the center was an
enormous cut glass bowl filled with gor-
geOus American Beauties. American Reauty
surrounding it in a circle were innumer-
able tiny incandescent lights, glowing thru
American Beauty miniature globes. The
circumference of the table was bordered
with folds of wide satin ribbon in two
warm rose shades extending in loops from
cover TO cover where they showed at the
edge of the table in perfect rosebuds, each
one fastened with the guest favor. an ex-
Quisite little gold pin. Maiden hair fern
effectively disposed upon the table and ex-
to the chandelier lent a touch of green. The
romantic interest of the occasion was not
lost sight of, heart shaped molds and the
other usual devices being employed in
recognition Of the sentiment which attache-
es to a pre-nuptial entertainment.

Dear Elizabeth: We haven't had
very many dances yet this fall and so
we haven't had very many engage
ments to tell about. Out at Washburn
college you won't find that many of
the men have put their pins out"
until after two or three dances have
been given. There seems to be some
thing about soft lights, a pretty party
frock and some fluffy hair that sort
of inspires college men (and their
older brothers also) to become en-
gagged for life to their dancing part
ner. Sometimes a college girl will
have the honor of wearing several
pins before her career is over at school
and again the first one she puts on
stays there.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas received
with the prospect of having several
more come in in the future.
Oh, yes, Elizabeth, must not for
get to tell you about one of our ro-
mances in town that has as many
threads to the story as one of Charles
Dickens's novels. The two principals
of the story were a man and a girl
who were engaged, they broke their
engagement all over another man,
the other man and the girl went to-
gether for awhile, they quit and now.
SO the latest news mongers say, they
remained alone for a time. and now
rumor says he is engaged. It's a
queer world. isn't It?
We did hear the other day about
another bit of romance which con-
Germs an cid rly we'll known Topeka
man who is now in California. They
say that he has recently renewed ac-
uuaintance with a former school days
friend. who is a widow now and sew
eral times "millionairess" and that
they are both so pleased at once more
finding one another that perhaps some
day in the future they will be mar
ried. All of which shows that Dan
Cupid isn't quite asleep on the job.

THE NEW PROPAGANDA

A MERlCANS are being given, without their asking, a great
n deal to read about Hugo SHINES and the other CONNER
4 - cial barons of the great industrial region in the Rhine
land" 1t occurs to the newspaper men who have been baraged
with propaganda for years that these tales of the industrial
princes of Germany are really the most subtle of all Teuonc
propaganda.
" SHINES, we read in a recent biography Of him, is a quiet, re-
firing man who shrnks from publicity. A man of the people, n
man Who has declared that his only aim in life is to aid his
country and provide for his children. That biography was writ
ten in Germany translated into English and published in Amer
lea.
=, SHINES and all his ik are profiteers. They increased their
holdings during the war until they have absorbed the industries
OF Germany. SHINES is claimed to be a super-mind, a generals
simo Of commerce, in the biography whech he no doubt ordered
prepared. His work is saving the state, and he is doing a sorry
job fit.
Travellers in the Rhineland tell of the vast prosperity of the
industrial regions, a prosperity famed by SHINES and his propa-
ganda-crowned kings of finance. 1t is a prosperity whose flame
is fed with increasingly greater quantities of almost worthless
paper money. A little more of such Saving" and Germany will
be bankrupt. 1t is a case similar to that of the athlete who is
spurred on with oxygen. He is capable of super-normal things
for a time, until the unnatural sustenance burns him out, and
he is ruined. .ru ~sltA " hsaS
What is the purpose of the German propaganda behind
SHINES? 1t is to create again in the minds of the world a bloated
conception of Germany's commercial greatness. 1t is to make us
think of the Rhineland today as an area where industrial power
has multiplied over the ancient days. 1t is to make us fear Ger
many and her industrial %feudalsm. These things are ~laughable
in a country begging to escape a debt which is not a 1.-THE of
what is due and Americans should never fear nor bow to alien
profiteers who grew fat on the blood of American men.

TURN ON THE LIGHT

TINE request by the Umatilla county farm bureau and by M.
Corey of the public service commission, that the depart
men. of agriculture investigate the subject. of Portland ex-
port wheat prices and also the subject of discounts and dockage
is a reasonable request and should be granted. The Portland
Oregonian, in defending the Portland exporters, recently sug-
gested that something of the sort be held if people think there
is anything wrong. The Portland paper now has an opportunity
to make good on that point and prove its sincerity by calling for
a thoroughgoing inquiry by competent officials.
{ Briefly speaking, figures given by Mr.. Corey indicate that
the Portland export prices are the lowest in the country despite
the fact freight rates are such that Portland should be paying
true is a matter for investigation. If the facts are as Mr.. Corey
believes and as many farmers believe, there would seem to be
something, radically wrong somewhere. II those charges are
not true the facts should be made known so as to clear up doubt
on the question.
BY all means let there be a public hearing and an investiga-
ton by men who are capable of going to the bottom of affairs.
Our farmers are the chief wheat producers of the state and
therefore the men who have most at stake. The investigation
should be SO conducted as to provide these men the information
they want.
