THE BOSS
The other day while in a store
A man in anger paced the floor.
Hey your he shouted In his rages
Get busy there and earn your wagev
He snarled at people left and right,
Scorned every term that is polite
And made the men and women COVER
And all because he had the power.
Who Is this mad man running wild ?"

In action with his fellowmen.

Too big to nod his head and say

But loudly swapping. orders out
As tho authority must shout,
Thinking a snariing speech and brief
The badge and sceptre of a chief.
No doubt they wonder why the clerk
Sometimes negiects her daily work:
No doubt they count the weekly sales,
To find that some department fails,
And he goes out and puts the blame
On one he's never called by name
A timid girl who's never heard
From him one kindly, cheerful word
When they should truly charge the loss
Unto the conduct of the boss.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson, am girl
of nineteen and am going with a fell
low aged twenty-five. L have been
going with him nine months and he
still wants to come, but he treats me
SO coolly when any one is around and
doesn't pay any attention to me. We
went to church. one time and took an
other girl with us, and instead of his
sitting in the middle he sat beside her
and then / said, You can sit between
us if you want to-" Was it proper for
me to say that?
I think a lot of him and he says he
likes me or he wouldn't keep coming.
We are not engaged and he never says
anything about getting married. Do
you think he doesn't care enough
about me and that is the reason he
does that way?
Would it be proper for me to let
him keep coming? WORRIED.
The boy probably feels that 1t is not
good taste to fuss over you when 9th :
ers are around. II he is courteous and
as pleasant to you as he is to the
others, you have no reason to- COM
plain. When you went to church. it
was correct for him to wait until you
and the other girl had gone in and
then to enter the pew. No harm was
done by telling him he could sit in
the middle, but it would have been a
little better to let him sit in the place
he chose.
1t is true that the boy would not
keep on coming II he did not care for
you, but the fact that he enjoys you is
no sign he intends to marry you. He
is very young and probably realizes
that at present he is not in a position
to become engaged. There is no rea-
son why you should not keep him as
your friend. Do not talk of love to
him, and do not ask him If he cares
for you. As long as he continues 10
come, take 1t for granted that he
cares

They merely are evidence of the peo-

these securities never had been issued.
The wealth of the country cannot be
tied up in tax free securities. Debts
are not wealth but on the contrary
are quite the reverse. There is no JUS

people on what they owe.

The Art of Friendship

1llC x1EL u Il IlGHekeLhIt-l
A woman correspondent asks me
if I can tell her how to make and
keep friends.
The old axiom. IF you would have
friends, you must show yourself
law and the prophets concerning the
art of drawing the hearts of others to
us. You must make an investment in
love and good will yourself before you
can collect and dividends.
People who are hard. and cold, and
unsympathetic never have any friends
because there is nothing in their gran
lite natures to which the tendrils of
love can fasten. Neither do selfish
and self conferred people have friends
for there is nothing about the person
atty of a pig to call forth either af-
lection or admiration. Nor are the
shy and reserved people, who expect
everybody else to make all the adj
vances, overwhe lmingly popular, for
the human clam is seldom worth
the trouble and labor of digging out
of his or her shell.
So the old rule holds. If you want
friends you must show yourself
friendly. You must be genial. You
must be responsive. You must be ap-
proachable. You must be kindly and
willing to do those about you good
turn whenever the opportunity offers
must lend a patient ear while others
discourse about their children, and
their automobiles, and their troubles,
while you put the soft pedal on the
saga you are dying to sing about
yours.
Above all. the secret of winning
friends is to be sympathetic; to take
a real, genuine interest in the welfare
Of those about you-to be able to
weep with those who weep, and re-
joice with those who rejoice. Those
who do this rivet their fellow creatures
to them with bands of steel.
To make people like us Is a simple
matter. To keep theirs affection after
we have won 1t is more difficult
task. Most of us can count up on the
fingers of one hand, and have a few
digets to spare, the friendships which
have endured the tests of time, and
we might as well ask where is the
hat we wore in 1900 as to ask where
are the people who were our dearest
friends and companions twenty years
ago.
Perhaps the reason that friendship
is so evanescent is because we make
the mistake of treating it as if 1t were
made of cast iron that nothing we can
do will dent. and~mighty little that
we can do will break. instead of re-
garding it as something as fine and
beautiful and fragile as bit of gauze,
that the slightest rough usage will
FRAGILE out around the edges.

The movement for obtaining a
greater measure OF justice for the
more than $4,000 children born out Of

Newspaper Comments.


 The Daily Herald, organ of the British Labor party, predicted that independent action by France against Germany would endanger the econom- ic safety of Europe. The newspaper conference upon cancellation of war debts.
 Premier Lloyd George holds the trump card in his hands. It is in his power to offer remission of allied war debts in return for a more req sonable view on reparations," said the Daily News. twill he play it? The Daily Chronicle, which is re- garded as Lloyd Georges mouth piece, blamed France for the failure of the conference. saying:
 France is still divided with rival aims; first, to destroy Germany, and second to make Germany pay. These two aims cannot by any amount of indemnity be harmonized. Until France rids her purposes of this con tradiction, her best friends can reach no real settlement with her.''
 The Morning Post aScribed the failure of the conference to funda- mental opposition on the standp oints of Lloyd George and France. The Post which is a Tory newspaper and a political opponent of the Premier, alleged that MT.
