The first unusual feature and the reason for her suspended sentence was that while the woman admitted to this one theft, she had had previous rec ord for honesty. Conspicious honesty in her case, for she had found and re- turned to customer in the little restaurant where she was a waitress, a package containing fourteen thousand dollars.
 The other unusual feature was the nature of her theft. Unusual at least it seemed to the men who judged her. for this hard working woman, aging and care-worn, had stolen a vanity case.
 It puzzled the judges and it puzzled her accusers to understand why wom- an so poor that fourteen thousand dol lars would mean a fortune and free dom to her should, with scrupulOus honesty, return such a sum when there was small chance of it's being discOv- cred in her possession and then lose her reputation and face a prison sen tence for the theft of n vanity case.
 These men who judged her kindly and leniently saw the pathos of this case, but they did net see, as woman might sec, how pitifully natural it was.
 She didn't keep the money that did not belong to her. She was not thief. She didn't think what she could buy with the money or if she did it was only q dream, not concrete tempta- tiOn.
 But the vanity case was different matter. It was possession that she wanted. A symbol of the beauty she had in life and that her soul starved for. She would not have stolen the amount of money that the ease cost and bought one. If some one had given her money. it probably would have been spent on necessities.
 Ask man who wants drink or q cigarette and hasn't one how honest he would be about taking one that didn't belong to him. No matter how honest he might be in other ways would he be so scrupulous about that Or would he succumb as she did-tc her craving?

Answer-No, sister, I'll tell the world such a man isn't good hus- band, no matter if he does bring home his pay envelope. A woman can be just as hungry for love and appreciation as she can be for bread. Her soul can starve just as surely as her body n, and no man does his duty by his wife who doesn't give her tenderness as well as roof to cover her.
 l think the most pitiful thing in the world is that there are millions of women who are miserable and discouraged and disgruntled; who find no pleasure or savor in life, and who could be made perfectly happy by few jollying words and a little cheap attention from their husbands. And the husbands re- fuse to make them happy when it

Answer-My observation of the flapper, Samuel, convinces me that she considers herself utterly and entirely perfect, the noblest work of God, and the dressmaker and the barber, and that she considers that every one who disagrees with her is an antiquated egg, whose views are q matter of derision. wish you joy in your effort to reform a pleasure-mad flapper, but I am not sanSuine of your success.

We Women
Is This Vanity

TlHIS is the story of a middle-aged,
 care-worn woman-a drudge of
 life whose claim to youth and beauty had gone.
 She was arrested for shop-lifting and taken to court with a number of other women held on the same charge.
 The other offenders were quickly sentenced but thre were two unusual fatures about this woman's case. It was court where three judges sat and the judges were the jury. When they had heard the evidence sentence was suspended.

Dear Miss Dix-Is man who works every day, and brings home his money, a good husband, no matter what else he does!
 Is a man good husband who comes home without saying q word, eats his well-cooked dinner and sits in your way all evening without speaking?
 Is a man q good husband who gets up and eats his breakfast and goes to work without kissing his wife, or ever saving good-by, and if the wife tells him about it, he says, If you want kiss. why don't you ask for it?'
 Is a man good husband who never gives his wife a birthday or Christmas or anniversary present, who never brings her any candy, or gives her any little treat?
 Is d man good husband who never goes out with his wife to any place of amusement? Is man good husband who never notices whether his wife IS sick or asks how she feels?
 Is q man good husband who is all ways snooping around the house to see where he can find fault?

Other men make poverty their excuse for their getaway, and nobly refuse to marry girl to whom they cannot give limousines. Others hide behind mothers skirts, and swear they promisedi never to wed while mother lived. Others just dilly-dal- ly along until they wear the girls patience out, and still others fall back upon the time-honored custom of our ancestors who simply kissed and rode away.
 Tor can take your choice of methods and may God have mercy upon you soul if the girl means business:

Of course, the quickest way and the most effective way is to gather your courage together and tell the girl that you do not love her, and that you are not for her. Very likely it will let you in for a bad quarter of an hour of tears and re- breaches. But when you have bitter dose to take, the sooner you gulp it down the sooner the agony is over.
 If you haven't the nerve to do this, the next best thing is to go away, and let absence do its per feet work Just fade away to some place where no telephone connects with your dungeon cell. Don an- swer any letters, and sooner or later it will dawn on the forsaken maiden that you are gone for good. In the old pre-Volstead days men use' to use the Demon Rum as an ally il breaking off love affairs of which the. were weary. They would appear dis gustingly drunk before the lady and thu try to disillusion her. But this nov was unreliable because it so often con vinced the girl that she had sacre' mission to marry the poor sinner to re form him.

And yet men refuse to say them. They refuse to jolly their wives. Why this is so, only the arch-fiend who alone under stands why mules balk and the where fore of human contrariness, knows.

However, I presume that you mean that you look as Mir. Bryan looked thir- ty years ago. that you are magnetic, and have glib and persuasive tongue.
 But, alas, Herbert, these are all characteristics that get you in bad with women, instead of getting you out cas- fly, and it is no light task to extricate yourself from the love tolls in which you have involved yourself.

would cost them so little in either {. money or effort!
 A five-cent bunch of flowers, ten cent bag of candy, just any sort of little paltry gift to show that he thought of her makes wife triumphant. The simplest memento to mark a senti- mental anniversary lights the love fires in her heart and turns her into a girl again. A compliment about the dinner takes away all of the fatigue of cooking it. An evening at the movie sends her singing about her work again, content ed and happy, and sure that she has the best husband in the world just because he has considered her little and thought of her pleasure.
 A few kind words-a breath of
 wind-the cheapest thing on earth,
 the easiest thing to do, and it would
 not only make the wife happy, but
 bring the husband a million per
 cent dividends in peace and com
 fort for himself. Why don't men
 say them?

Farm Bureau Has
Good Meeting

The McCone County Farm Bureau
held a very interesting meeting at
the Court House at Circle, last Satur-
day afternoon.
Election of officers resulted in re-
election of the present officers Aug.
Hamelau being President and A. Mar
tinsen, secretary.
The question of circulating petit
tions to initiate law giving the
state board of railroad commission
ers authority to compel railroads to
build if after a hearing, it is found to
be warranted, occupied most of the
attention of the meeting, and was
discussed by many present, it being
a question in which we are all vitally
interested. The meeting finally went
on record to go ahead with the circu-
lating of the petitions, and the secre-
tary was also instructed to get in
touch with the secretaries of the
various farm bureau locals through
out the state, and ask their cooper
alton in the matter of getting sig
lures on the petitions.
Secretary Martinsen was also direc-
ted to write letter to the President
of the Great Northern railroad at St.
Paul, and inquire as to whether or
not the company intends to build
their line through here in the near
future, and to advise them that if
they do not intend to construct the
line through here soon, that the Nc
Cone County Farm Bureau is starting
the movement to initiate slaw, as
explained above.
We are all anxiously waiting to
see what nice reply they will make.
Following the discussion on rail
road matters Rep. Barney Carlson,
gave very interesting talk on do
ings at the last session of the iegis-
lature and at the special session, all
of which was we'll presented and en-
joyed by those present.
The Grain Export Corporation was
touched upon by the Secretary and
others.
1t is planned to have another
meeting of the Farm Bureau before
the big drive is put on to secure
signers for the railroad petitions.
