can we do about it?
The Possible Husband
In the first place, what are
our chances for attracting any
man? A young man, in my
position. would have countless
opportunities to court nice
girls. Practically every girl he
met would welcome him as a
possible husband. But how
many men would welcome me
as a possible wife? Mighty
few!
Most of the men who come
into my office regard me as
they would the office furniture.
If I were not a working wom-
an, but just pretty girl client
waiting in the office, they
would be instantly alert to my
feminine possibilities. know,
for I see it happen every day.
But the fact that I am a
secretary, in some mysterious
way, seems to instantly chill
all such speculation. Their
manner is impersonal, if not
actually bruSque. And this,
remember, is true of men who,
under other conditions, would
be my natural suitors. BUT

beloved'S financial inferiority
would then be taken for granted,
and my proposal be welcomed,
But, since I am a woman, that

If France reverses herself,
it is probable that Belgium

is interesting to note that
Belgium followed France
rather than England. The
connection between these
two nations has been close

Belgium should have a

of rare charm and beauty,
she impressed me at the
time as a conSummate

rostrum an impressive figure
in black. There was not a
touch Of color anywhere.
She walked slowly with sor-

she seemed the very embodi-

Of the hunger, privation,

THE dreadful American
l. press, and the dreadful
American politicians, have
shown a pleasing restraint
in the matter of the debt
defaulters. Nothing has
been done or said on this
side of the water to increase
the ministerial difficulties
in France. The debate in
Congress has been post
poned; the speeches pre-
pared have been put aside
temporarily; and America
waits to learn the present
disposition in Paris.
Until France makes the
payment on which she de-
faulted last week, there is
nothing to discuss with her.
Whenever she sees fit to
meet her obligation, she may
resume or open negotiations
on revisions. There is a
present hope that she will
reverse her action of last
week.
Meanwhile, M. Laval, in
an explanatory statement,
makes the point that the
discontinuance of repara-
tions without a discontinue
ance Of debt payments will
give Germany an advantage
over France in the CONNER
cial competition or race of
the future. He observes
that, under this arrange
ment, German industry and
business, free from their
burden, will have an advan-
tage in the race over France
and the other debtor nations
where business and industry
will have the handicap Of
carrying the load.
That is interesting to
America. If German indus
try is relieved of its handi-
cap, and the industry Of all
the debtor nations are re-
lieved Of their handicaps,
and all the handicaps of all
the nations are put on
American industry, it would
seem reasonable to conclude
that American industry
would be in a rather bad
position for the race. All
of which follows from NJ.

permitted such exploitation Of agri-
culture that agriculture is in great
financial distress. This state, be-
ing essentially an agricultural state,
is experiencing that distress to the
point where to collect taxes to sup
port the bare necessities of govern
ment would cast an exceedingly
heavy burden on the citizenry whose
income has been reduced almost to
the vanishing point. This condition
has existed for a number of years.
But in spite of that, those having
control Of our governmental affairs
have persisted in maintaining an
elaborate governmental organization,
in permitting projects beyond our
means to the point where the tax
burden on our people has become con-
fiscatory.

Hoover delegates to the national

trict meeting in Mankato: Congress
men G. G. Selvig in the Ninth. w. A.

The resolution favoring prohibi-
ton referendum was almost unani-
mously adopted at the Eighth district
meeting in Duluth: the First district
at Rochester advocated reSubmission

measure.
The gatherings selected delegates to

Ninth, at Detroit Lakes, Endorsed their
delegates for Hoover, while the others
were uninstructed. w. H. Newton,
