Dear Mrs. Thompson: am young married man of twenty-five. I mar ried a widow who has one girl by a former marriage. The girl is now six years old and everything I say to her she sauces me for and calls me names. Then my wife thinks it is cute and laughs with her.
 I am a man who is not very talk ative at home. Do you think that is why the child acts as she does. She is a very smart little girl in every way. She can hold a conversation just like a grown-up- dislike chIl- dren, but never abuse them. Do you think I ought to stand for these things? RED
 You ought not to stand for disre spect. I believe that if you let your wrath have it's way sometime and really punish the child for her impu- dence both she and her mother will have more respect for you,
 Even if you do not like children, you can find much in them to inter est you. Try to win the child by be- ing more companionable to her. Read story books to her, and let her read to you. She will not always be child, and it will be worth your effort to win her love and admiration.
 Do not, however, permit disrespect. know that spankings are in ill., repute, but it seems to me if nothing else corrects the child a spanking would do her good. Never threaten punishment without carrying it out, but try to be slow to anger. Remen- Der that the little girl, like all chill dren, does, things which are annoying to grown-up people, but that she must be child and permitted to enjoy herself in her childish way Do not expect too much of her.

 TRUE BLUE
 There is only one honorable thing to do, and that is to stop seeing the married man and 70 put him cut of your thoughts as quickly as possible. Put yourself in the place of the wife. Loving him as you do, how would you like to have another woman take your place in his affections?
 You are still very young, and I am confident that if you are honorable this time, you will see the day when you are more than thankful because you will be able to give yourself 6 clean record to a man you will love just as deeply and who will be free to marry you.

what the Hays Building and Loan
Association is Doinq


The Hays Building and Loan As
ISOLATION was organized in Novem-
Der, 1919, by group of business
men Of Hays. Since then the Assoc
iation has had a steady and healthy
growth.
On January ], 1921, the Associa-
ton had made loans to eleven people
amounting to $2O,65O.OO. On Janu-
airy l, 1922 the umber of loans had
increased to twenty-eight with an
amount of $44,15O.OO. 1t is a most
gratifying fact that the Hays Build
ing and Loan Association has since
Its beginning helped twenty-eight
people to become home owners.
Home ownership is the greatest
factor in making Hays a better city
and better place to live.
On January 1, 1921, this Associa-
ton had sS,421.68 paid in on INSTALL
ment stock and on January 1. 1922.
the installment stock amounted to
81, 862.O6. This shows that MANY
people are getting the spirit of thrift
BY saving in a systematic way and
getting good return on their saw
lngs. This is another asset for the
community as thrift is the founda-
ton for success and happiness.
On January l, 1921, this Associa-
ton had 154 members and on Janu-
airy l, 1922, this membership was in
creased to 252. This is veidence that
the services of the Building and Loan
Association are broadening out and
that more people are beginning to
realize the advantages offered by
systematic saving.
The object of this association is
to encourage thrift and to help more
people own their own homes. The
Building and Loan method of saving
is a cooperative system by which the
saver helps to increase his profits,
benefits the person who needs a home
and helps to make the community a
better place to live in. Start a saw
ings account in the Hays Building
and Loan Association and let your
mooey earn a good rate of interest
and at the same time stimulate the
building of new houses.

Editorial Comment


This is Christmas week, but it IS
not happy Christmas for the world.
There is suffering and sadness in
many lands. There is sorrow in many
a home, where joy should reign, even
In this our own America, renowned
though it is among all peoples as the
/ biding place of peace and plenty. A
storm has devastated many homes.
Men have seen the labor Of long years
dissipated almost in a night land some
are stripped of everything. Pathetic
beyond words are some of the tales
that find their way from day to day to
the editorial desk, but, dearly beloved,
underneath it all there sounds
through these recitals of distress a
note that thrills; a note that reveals
the spirit that has made this country
what it is; note that makes US proud
to be of this people.
Out of the great plains and noun
tain valleys of the west perhaps a
majority of such letters come. Let US
show just one; just one that stands
for many. This from Colorado:
Enclosed find check for renewal
of The Gazette. l had thought to let
my subscription lapse, but find it hard
to do so. / am broke, have lost all in
the cattle business, and in a few
months The Gazette and my old
branding iron will be the only
evidence left that l was ever a stock
man.
81 appreciate the value of The
Gazette, and thoroughly endorse its
editorials, but in perusing its contents
a feeling of sadness creeps in when
one realizes that his own well-lOved
animals are no longer near him.
eve are getting old, wife and l,
but we intend next spring to find a
location somewhere in the mountains
where we can homestead or start in a
small way and begin again, and may
be find a shelter for the few years yet
remaining to US.
81 thank you for your past assist
ance and help, and trust that the new
year opens to you brighter than it
will to me-"
Just The Gazette and his old
branding iron! No, that is not all by
any means. In every line of such
letter you can sense the dauntless |
spirit of '76, still strong, unconquer-
able! Somewhere in the mountains
we shall begin all over again! The /
"wellIoved animals" are gone, but
somewhere another herd is forming.
We make no pretensions to being
specially religious, but we are bound
to say, as the anniversary of that
night of nights at Bethlehem APP
proaches, knowing as we do that this
man and wife are not alone this
Christmas-time in their brave facing
of the future, that we offer supplicaEI
ton! May all be led safely on by
Kindly Light through their encircling
gloom!
There is that in the boundless west
ern wonderland of sky and snowy
mountain peak that holds its children
steadfast to the trail, no matter what
betides. On and ever on they go with
confidence and faith that over the
range the promised land awaits, and
the greater the heights of moral cour-
age reached, the surer is to be their
ultimate reward.
