trade. and the girl knows 1t when
she is making it.
For the proof Of this statement
look around among your own
acquaintances. How many girls
do you know whom you even
suspect of having married for
money? How many men do you
know who have the price to buy
a wife. even If girls were willing
to sell themselves. The value of
a wife runs into real money and
only rich men can afford to buy
gold digging ladies.
On the contrary, don't you
know dozens and dozens of girls
who have married poor boys,
knowing that they would have to
give up a mahogany desk for .
tcookstove, that they would have
to pinch and economic as they
have not had to do when earning
their own money and living at
home. and knowing that they
would have to go shabby and push
their own perambulators and
undergo all the hardships of a
poor mans wife. but doing 1t
gladly because some; man was
more to them than good elothes'
and their own pay envelopes and
running around to parties? I
So don't talk any more nom
sense about girls only marrying
for money. It doesn't make sense
in these times when women pull
their share in the boat instead
of being clinging vines.

Keep Cunning
 For Sen. Taft

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-lR- Baking Republicans threatened to- day to carry on their fight against Senator Taft of Ohio by actively opposing any Senate leadership proposals they don't like.
 Taft was in the saddle again as chairman of the COP policy com mittee by a 28 to IA vote of con- fidence given him yesterday by the 42-member Republican caucus.
 But some of the IA insurgents who took the short end of that ballot served blunt notice today that the scrapping isn't all over.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, defeated by Taft. keynoted their
 viewpoint. Said he:
 T think this is the beginning | of a real movement backed by public opinion to impel forward motion to the Republican party and make it a really effective part of our two-party system" Senator Morse of oregon, who has called himself and his rebell- ing colleagues liberals blasted . Taft as "a symbol of reaction and defeatism for the Republican par ty"
 Morse predicted that at least 13 of the 14 who voted for Lodge will continue to stand united as a gen. eral policy in fighting for mod ! ern, forward looking program for f the Republican party"

 A paralyzing blizzard smothered a large section of the great plains following yesterdays tornadoes which took at least 50 lives in Arkansas and Louisiana. And Southern California had record sub freezing temperatures which threat ened disaster to the orange crop.
 Hundreds were injured in the tornadoes, more hundreds were homeless and thousands of travel CTS were stranded in the blizzard. Winds up to 50 miles an hour plotted out visibility with driving snow. Old timers in the Dakotas called it the worst storm" they ever saw.
 Passenger trains were tied up at several points in eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska.
