HOW NOT TO DO IT

Early administration of the Shep-
pard-Towner maternity bill passed re-
Gently by congress appears to be
hanging fire because congress has
failed to make an appropriation for
carrying out its provisions. In fact,
Mr. Dawes omitted it entirely from
his budget. Because of this omission
on the part of Mr.. Dawes, a special
bill in the nature of a deficiency
measure will be necessary.
There appears TO be a possibility
that. such a bill if introduced and
passed might not carry the full sum
authorized in the Sheppard Towner
law, for while congress may not make
an appropriation greater than that
specified, 1t may If it desires. appro-
pirate a lesser sum.

Dorothy Dix Talks
The woman With a Past-2.
BY DOROTHY DIX
worries highest Paid woma2 VIII

lnC " OILtdn ~ iii a oSN"&
The woman who has sinned, and
who has repented in sackcloth. and
ashes, whose very soul has been
washed clean in her tears, has had a
lesson that is scared into every fiber
of her brain and heart. She is the
burnt child that breads the fire, and
no woman is more to be trusted than
she.
Many men fall in love with a woman
with a. past, and desire to marry her,
but such a marriage only brings hap
piness when the man is of an excep-
tionally broad and noble nature. - If
the man is of small caliber it univer-
sally ends in misery for both parties.
This is not because the woman is
| untrustworthy, but simply because the
man cannot rise to the heights of
trusting her. She is forever under
suspicion. He is always watching her,
| and seeing harm in her most innocent
acts.
No jealousy on earth is so torturing,
| so unreasoning, as that which gnaws
ceaselessly at the heart of the man
who marries a woman with past,
and not all of her devotion, her i'm
notation on the altar of home. or her
discreetness of conduct suffices to allay
it. Tho she be ten thousand times
as much above suspicion as Caesar S
wife, yet will he forever doubt her in
| his secret soul.
And this'is both cynically tragic and
humorous because the man who de-
mands such spotless purity in his wife
| is generally no Sir Galahad himself,
and has a past far more sullied than
her own.
One thing, however, is certain: The
man vsho marries the woman with a
past wipes her slate clean with her
marriage certificate. He has no right
! to go behind that, even in his thoughts.
| days gone BY with their blemishes,
their mistakes, their. cruel teachings,
their sorrows. and their repentance,
are hers alone. To him belong her
present and her future, and by these
only is he entitled to judge her. If
she walks straight; if she is pure in
mind, and heart, and thought; if she
is a loyal and devoted wife. her past
no more really concerns him than
d nightmare from which one has
awakened.
We learn thru suffering, and often
the woman who in her youth has
sinned. and who has repented of it,
has literally. made of her dead self a
! ladder by which to climb to higher
things, and she has acquired a SYM
pathy, an understanding, a tolerance,
| anu QSptil OL 1illhO anu SOuI thai
make her a better woman than nine
| tenths of the so-called good woman.
And one thing is sure: the man who
marries a woman with a past has a
| yellow streak in him a yard wide if
| he ever twits her with it, and throws
! in her teeth the thing he has con-
doned.
| we should deal with the woman with
| the past when he said to the Magda-
| lene: Neither do I condemn thee
! Go. and sin no more"

The farmers should give the matter
deliberate thought before they insist
too strongly on the appointment of
one Of their number to place on the
federal reserve board. There. can be
no. valid objection to a farmer on the
: board. but ne should be there as re-
suit Of his qualifications for the place
and as a representative of the entire
business interests of the country,
rather than as a representative of a
class. II this thing of special repre-
sentation| on the board once get Il
start it is almost certain to spread un-
til every business interest in the coun-
try will be demanding representation
on the board. If the demand of the
farmers be granted, it is not at all
unlikely that similar demands would
be put forward by union labor the
railroads, the steel men. the coal men,
the lumber men and so on until the
farming interest would be no better
off than it is now.

What perhaps is the result of the
successful working of the fruit grow
ers' selling organization of California
is seen in the advanced prices paid by
the state of Kansas in the recent let
ting of contracts for supplies to the
state institutions. Prunes cost "a
cents. compared with 7B cents six
months ago. and dried apples cost
1434 cents. compared with 11s4 cents

LIFE. 4
This is life: a time of laughter.
Now and then a tear,
Glorious days to follow after
Thru another year;
Something gained, and something given,
Just to show the way we've striven.
This is life: bit of fretting
Darkening the day,
Sometimes losing, sometimes getting,
Thus we go our way:
And the guides by which men find us
Are the joys we leave behind US.
This is life: a TIME for sorrow,
Dread and fear and doubt,
Faith, from which all men may borrow,
Strength to brave it out;
But the greatest of our glory
Shines thruOut aRothers story.
This is life: a strive for riches,
Fame and yellow gold,
And a nobler splendor, which is
By our fellows told:
This the test of all cur labOrs.
Have they made US kindly neighbors?
This is life: a goal pursuing,
Rain and skies of blue.
Something for another doing,
Friends to do for you;
He is rich whose toiling ends
Loved and honored by his friends.
