DEFEAT.

DEFEAT.

and you're getting what
she loves best, that should consider
your wishes entirely instead Of hers
in one little matter? I want to do
what you want, Of course. But !
can't be happy II you force me to
hurt mother SO, just at this time"
There seemed nothing for James
to say after that but that Of course,
they would live in the Tyler place.
But he said it ungraciously. When
he kissed Jane good night she clung
to him with unusual tenderness and
whispered shyly in his ear how much
she loved him and how happy he had
made her.
Jane was not overly given to tender
ness or demonstrations-she accepted
rather than gave-so James left her
with . mingled tumult Of emotions.
But as he came out from the North
rup's front door and saw the Tyler
house looming darkly before him, he
glared at it balefully and felt that q
thousand mocking eyes behind those
hooded staring windows were glarins
balefully back.
James and the Tyler house were
open enemies from that moment and
they never more than barely tolerated
each other at any time thereafter.
In the morning the unpleasant
task awaited him of breaking the news
to his Aunt Sarah. As he expected,
she took it badly. She was not only
angry-she was bitterly offended and
she and James almost quarreled.
James naturally defended Jane.
But wouldn't any girl want to live
near her own mother" he argued
THAT is any girl who really loved
her mothcr?"
1T seems to me that II your mother
could come here from Kentucky and
your grandmother all the way from
New England that Jane Northrur
might be able to live . couple Of miles
from North Fifth and Oak streets,
said Miss Sarah, her voice trembling
"Well, I know, but Jane Is an only
daughter and her mother goes around
crying because she is leaving home
and"
"Indeed?" snifYed the other. "
wonder how Mrs. Northrup managed
to live through the three years Jane
was East and in Europe?"
But Mrs. Northrup spent most oi
her Summers In the East with Jane"

That's rather old-fashioned, isn't
IT."
Perhaps I'm old-fashioned."
Perhaps you are. I'll have to edu-
cate you out Of 1t. Anyway, you'll
have the library. I've planned to
make that your special den. You can
lock yourself In there as often as you
please"
James inspected his future sanctum
gloomily. At least 1t had q fireplace
and had had . black marble mantel.
Now that was gone and in its stead
stood q horror in elaborately carved
oak with little fretted balconies which
reached to the ceiling. It stood back
to back with its twin in the entrance

GOOD FINISH ON
OLD CAR AIDS
RESALE VALUE
Service of Off Company
Includes Improving
Cars Appearance.

Few motorists realize that when
they prepare to trade an old car for
a new automobile that if the old
cars appearance was improved it
would demand a higher resale value.
The c. Of Co.. 1O7 N. Easiest,
automotive body repairers and re-
builders, are streSsing this 1t the
present time, knowing that a shabby
car-dull and red with rust-is not
only unsightly, but in the long run
is costing the owner money.
Judging by the cars appearance it
can be seen one can lose as much
as IS per cent Of the trade-in value
if the car has a deteriorated finish.
Thus it will pay to have ones car
refinished even though he may be
planning to trade for a new car in
few months.

ALS0MINE REMOVED
Sponge and Water Used Freely Is
One of Best Methods.

Most kalsomine can easily be re-
moved by taking a large bucket Of
water and a sponge and moistening
the sponge until it is fairly wet, but
not so wet that the water will drip.
Wipe the kalsomine with the sponge
and it will come off Immediately.

Avoid Excess Oil

In painting over surfaces in good

PAINT SCALING AVOIDED
More Than One Coat Necessary for
Best Results.

If paint is applied without thin
ing with linseed oil, then the oil
that is in the paint will be alb
sorbed by the old, dry surface. The
paint will quickly fail and might
peel and scale and is sure to have
a faded appearance in a very short
time. Never attempt to secure a good
job of painting with one coat.

Varnish Seldom Blisters

1t is very seldom that varnish
ever blisters, except when applied
to surface where the sun shines
directly on the varnish while the
VarniSh is driving.

Sandpapcring Is important

Varnish will sometimes crawl
when the second coat is applied over
a first coat that has not been sand
papered.

WILL ROGERS
DOUBLE SEEN
IN TOM BERRY
South OakOta'S Governor
Looks and Talks Like
Late HumoriSt.
tcopyFigh,. 1915. by United Press.

PIERRE, S. D. Aug. PA cow
boy humorist with a careless mop
Of hair, an infectious grin and SYM
pathies as broad as his 30.OOO-acre
ranch. stands out today, known in
this state as VIII Rogers double.
He is Tom Berry, homely. unso-
phisticated governor of South Da-
kota
Born in the same year, reared in
the same rugged pioneer territory
and. Ike Mr.. Rogers, disciplined in
the saddle. Gov. Berry looks like
Mr.. Rogers, thinks like him and
talks ike MIN. So marked was the
resemblance that friends recalled
today what Rogers himself said in
1888 when he first met Tom Berry.
Tom, if you amt my shadow,
never had one"
where's a Water HoIe?"
It was a hot August afternoon
when the cowboy executive, visiting
Washington. stepped of his train
showed his 1O-gallon sombrero back
on his head and yelled to a red
cap:
Hell. boy. where's the water
hole?"
From that moment his reputation
in Washington as a prototype of
VIII Rogers was cinched.
A government official pointed out
the new Office building.
Well" drawled Tom, rolling his
own cigarette, Shes a trifle high
for sheepShed." He labelled the
Presidents Office some stall"
Quick at COme-Backs
Commenting on South Dakota's
dust storms, severe drought and
grasshopper plague. Gov. Berry told
Washington AAA officials:
why, if South Dakota was APP
portiOned funds on tie basis of
actual crop control or curtailment,
maybe, if ought to get a million. We
amt raised nothin out there in
three years"
Then there was the time Presi-
dent Roosevelt wired Gov. Berry ad-
vising that South Dakota should
have a representative on the Fed
eral Land Bank. Suggest he be
both lawyer and banker" the wire
said.
Have to get him from Iowa" the
governor wired back. There's no
one that crooked in South Dakota
Likes Ranch Life Best
1t was humor of this type. satire
in high places. that endeared Tom
Berry to VIII Rogers. They were
close friends. Said Gov. Berry when
he learned of Mr.. Rogers death:
There can never be another like
him"
Like Will Rogers, Mr.. Berry never
dresses up. His week-endS are spent
in the saddle and statehouse society
seldom sees him.
I'd rather spend my time with
the AIissus and the kids" he ex-
plains. He has two sons and a mar
ried daughter
A typical Western ranch home
near Belvidere in the heart Of the
cattle country is headquarters for
the Berry's Double Cross outfit. Out
there the Governor IS free to spin
his lariat with ease and folks along
White River say he'll spin himself
into another Will Rogers yet.

Will War Touch Us?

We don't believe that there is much chance OF the
United States being seriously affected by the war be-
tween Italy and Ethiopia. There is such emotional
reaction so far we See there In the be-
einnings of the Great War; when everybody in Amer
lea was taking sides vehemently
If the war is confined to conflict between the
Italians and Ethopians, it is difficult to how any
American interests would be seriously mperiled. All
the trade that we have with Ethiopia you could put in
your hat Our exports to Italy have been steadily de-
clining for years and there is occasion to worry
about them.
The real possible danger to the United States
would be another general European war. That is not
outside the realm of possibility. It may not
direct result of the present exchange of beligerent
gestures between Italy and Great Britain but all OF
the folk who make study of international relations
seem to think that, LATER some incident will
set off the fireworks and involve all of the Great
Powers in another catastrophe conflict.
The thing that brought us into the last war was
the assumption by the begerent powers OF the right
to dictate to us where ships might and might not
navigate the free seas, assumption Which culm1n-
ated in Germany declaration of unrestricted submar
inc warfare It is conceivable that situation might
develop in which the free passage of American COM
merce through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal
would be threatened prohibited by some other ma
tion It would not take very many Incidents, such as
the deliberate sinking of American ships to stir the
American people to the point of going to war again
We hope nothing of the sort will happen. We do
not think it is likely to happen But we must not lose
SIGHT of the fact that nation remain completely
isolated from all the other nations of the world and
