HELD RELIEF MEET
THURSDAY NIGHT

The farmers of the McElroy pre-
clnct held a relief meeting at the
school house Thursday evening,
August 9th to discuss their prob
lens. Attendance was small on
account of the rain that morning
and the fact that many had al
ready made application for their
federal feed loans since the previ
Gus meeting. The meeting was
unanimously in favor of the eff
fort to get the government to a.
mend the loans law to provide for
six months feed instead of three
as it does now, and also to include
the work horses and hogs as they
are as necessary to the farmers as
the rest of the stock.
A petition was circulated pray
ing for this amendment and for
further appropriations and all
present signed.
Questionaires were also circuiat-
ed for the purpose of securing def
mite information as to the amount
of hay and grain needed in the

Three Inches of Rain Fell
At Reserve Friday Night

A three inch rainfall in about
three hours last Friday evening
at Reserve, accompanied by very
severe thunder storm gave that
village a real thrill. The coulees
west of town were running several
feet deep and one torrent washed
out the county bridge on the grade
a mile south of town. Another
came down the H. C. Riley coulee
and tore out a section of the rail-
road. However the section crew
got busy and repaired it in q
couple of hours thereby causing
no delay to the trains.

TN A RECENT ADDRESS, Sena-
tor Dill said: eve need have
no fear of Bolshevism if we sat
our own house in order and gixec
all our people a fair share of the.
profits Of production"
Senator Dill began by reviewing
the international situation. He
predicted that Germany would sooTR
suspend all reparation payments
"except such payments as loans by
the Allies make possible. WhsD
Germany stops paying reparations
what chance will the United States
have of getting payments from
other European countries which
are collecting from Germany mora
than they are paying US?
SAVING NATION WE
ONCE FOUGHT
Think for moment of the irony;
! of it all! Just a few years ago
this nation was spending fifty
billion dollars and drafting fOu1s
million of the flower of American
youth to die, if need be, to destroy I
Germany. Now, we are trying to ;
save Germany. We have already
cancelled two-thirds Of the warS
debt other nations owe us, largely
so they can free Germany from
larger reparations. Our bankers
have actually loaned Germany 3d.
600, 0OO, 900 and now they must
loan her more in the hope of saw
ing what they have previously
loaned. The nations which became.
allies to reduce Germany to impoA-
ency are allied again to keep her
world power and a member of the
family of nations.
DARK DAYS AHEAD
!. Nobody knows what is ahead irP
Europe. But one thing seems Ger
tain, namely, that unless thG
statesmen and business men Of the
. nations of the western world can
so manage trade and economies az
to satisfy the rowing demand for
better conditions for the poor, COM
munism may spread beyond the
borders of Russia.
National and world conditions
being as they are it is wise for Us
! to think more seriously of our own
conditions, and not so much about
c Europe. We have our troubles and
= they are the most serious this ma
9 ton has known in a generation
More and more Of our people be-
: lieve that a great majority ID
q Americans must have a bigger and
a better income and sufficient leSsr
ure to enjoy it.

Hat Styles Change

Hats. the first articles of wearing
apparel to presage change of sea-
son. have already decided upon their
policy for fall.
In fact, autumn millinery, inn
ports and American designs. is even
now beginning to appear in smart
shops. And those returning from am
early vacation to foreign shores are
more likely than not to be seen
alighting from the ship wearing a
new Paris bonnet that bears elo-
quent witness to the fact that
changes have been made in the ia
miliar off-the-face hats of the past
season.
The most important difference in
the new fall hats, is the fact that
they no longer leave our entire fore
heads and an inch or more of our
hair entirely exposed. Instead there
is a forward movement, well down
over the right eye, but almost COM
pletely exposing the left side of the
head 1t is a flirtatious and piquant
silhouette that has inspiration in tbd
delightful chapeaux Of fashion in
1860, and in particular Of bic En-
press Eugene. Some of the more ex-
treme bonnets Of this revival are de-
signed to be worn~so far over on
the right sidev-of the head that
straps or ban6s are introduced at
the left side to hold the hat more Sc
cure on the head.

Dear Miss White: May | appeal to
you for your comforting words of
advice?
am woman of 80, married two
months and desperately unhappy.
This is the situation. Before we
married | bought the home and fur
nitnre with the money | saved. My
husband had no money, but he
promised to provide the npkeep.
Shortly after marriage, We quarrel
ed and one day he took his belong
ings and went away. I found a note
from him, saying, Leaving for New
York :"
He stayed away 10 days and then
returned-drunk. He promised to
make good" but after few days
he left again, assuring me he would
return the following day. but he
didn't come back for several days
drunk again. This he has done sew
and act as nearly as you can as
the same condition.
Never does he keep his word and
he won't tell me where he stays
when he's gone, nor where he works
Now he says that if | don't continue
to take him back I'm driving him
to drink, and that he is doomed to
fall. He cries and tells me he loves
me, yet he hasn't bought me even
a wedding ring When | asked him
to bring his brother over for a visit
he replied, MY brother says he'll
come when you have a good feed
cooked"
Ruth, my friends tell me to turn
him away. Please tell me what to
do.
MRS. A. s.
Although | don't like to say SO,
it looks very much as though your
husband only married you because
of the money you had and to be
provided with home as we'll as to
be supported
A woman is foolish, and especially
at your age, to marry man with
no money and no prospects. has
much as there seems to be no re-
deeming feature about the situation,
not even a wedding ring, l should
say to let him go, and before all
you have has been spent and your
life Is made any more miserable or
unhappy. | am very sorry, indeed,
and hope that something may hap
pen to make up to you for so great
a disappointment.
TRUE BLUE: | wish | could tell
you of some way in which to win
back your boy friend. He may be
very much hurt about something he
has heard or found out about you.
Can you think of any such POSSIBLE
ity? Perhaps it Is the affair. Popu-
larity is so often one of the require
ments.
