Holding Own With Girls.

Doris let's it he understood that
there is no nonsense about her.
She's not the type who is going to be
browbeaten and mistreated by her
crowd.
She's watched the way they snub
poor, little Emily--timid. shrinking
little Emily-how they put her In her
place when she feebly boasts OF one
or two conquests.
Doris isn't taking any Of that sort
of treatment. She let's the girls
know where they get off, and they
have to respect her for it.
You can't blame her, in a way. NO
girl wants TO be the underdog Of her
crowd, and yet we all know how easy
it is to become that unfortunate crea'
ture.
We have only to let others bully
and ridicule us. Once hhey get In the
habit. We'll never be able to assert
ourselves again.
So Doris asserted herself from the
start. She did 1t loudly and firmly,
lest there be any mistake about her
attitude.
II am going to the dance with
Tommy" Gladys announces one aft.
ernoon. He's got a stunning ear,
you know, and
What of it?" demands Doris,
abruptly. Anybody can go TO dance
with Tommy. He's no prize, and his
car looks like a 1901 model Person
ally. | wouldn't bother taking car
at all. I'm going with Lester"
There was no need for her to ex-
plain who Lester was. Everybody
recognized him as the catch OF the
place. and Doris realized she'd scored
a hit in mentioning his name.
She succeeded In her aim--that of
making the other girls respect her,
envy her and perhaps fear her a little.
But none OF them liked her. She
never noticed that, Of course, until
Ii was too late to do anything about it.
Then one day, as she was asking
herself why she was never the re-
cipient of more girlish condolences
why no one had ever taken the trou-
BILE TO seek her out as a pal---she
heard a remark that startled her.
You know" said one of her friends,
Emily is the most popular kid in the
bunch. Every one of us Is crazy
about her"
Crazy about her." gasped Doris.
But you're always kidding her and
razzing her. You never hand her
thing She doesn't hold her own with
you at all.
Maybe we do tease her a lot" ad
mitted the other, but we re all fonu
of her She's so darn sweet and un.
assuming we can't help 1t. | don't
think she really minds being razzed
now and then. She's too modest to
care. She doesn't bother about hold
ing her OWN She knows we like her.
Some girls think they've got TO howl
about what big timers they are all
the time, to make hit with the
bunch" then the speaker decided
she'd said enough.
Doris was not dumb. She got to-
point. All the time she'd been hold
ing her own she'd been losing the
friends she might have had.
A good-natured attitude is much
more effective than that OF belligerent
superiority. 1t goes better with the
girls you want to be your friends.
Mimi will be GLAD TO answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided a stamped
addressed envelope 10 inclosed.

my opinion, is enough in any case.
If 1t is a fireworks wound the atten-
ton of the physician should be sought
as well. The immediate application

As soon as ever the little wound
begins to feel sore or seems to be
getting infamed it is well to begin
soaking the extremity in hot water
containing teaspoonful of boric
acid to the pint. And when you tire
of the soaking then apply to the
wound and the extremity large dress
ings of gauze soaked with the same
solution. Meanwhile, of course, call
a physician.

Des Moines, Iowa.
How can the farmers attain higher
standard of life?
Answer-The present tendency TO
look upon the farmer as in need OF
"uplift'' is something new in Ameri-
can history. Our theory heretofore
has been that he could lift himself 10
any plane he desired by simply tug
ging at his boot straps.
Now the idea is abroad that some
body or something is holding the
farmer down so that he can no longer
rise by his unaided efforts.
1t Is. of course. true that morgan
lied producers frequently suffer in
Justice when other producing or buy
ing groups are highly organized.
But present despairing estimates OF
the farmers condition are due in part
to. false comparisons which attempt
to show that the average city dweiler
is better off because he wears stylish
clothes. sits in an overstuffed chair
or happens To live closer TO the mo-
ton pictures and vaudeville.
The truth is that multitudes Of
these prosperous looking city dwell
ers frequently possess little except
unpaid bills. and are separated from
bankruptcy only by the length OF
weeks wage.
Nevertheless. the widespread COM
plants not only among farmers, but
in many different States that the
farmer is not getting a square deal
are being needed and his actual con-
dition carefully investigated.
Doubtless the present administra-
ton will ultimately propose some prac-
teal measures for the benefit of agri-
culture.
II is our basic industry. which
should have what 1t once enjoyed for
so many years. the chief place in the
Nations care and esteem. Yet today.
as in the past. the farmer must and
l believe he will heartily cooperate
with the Nation by capitalizing his
own economic and moral resources.
In such cooperation is the attain
ment of anv mans better standards
of living The farmer is the under
pinning of the whole social structure
and he has never yet failed the repub-
lie either In peace or war. Nor should
