Wh. -: o : - A California paper t ells a story about a beautiful youn'g woman down along the middle state sea coast somewhere who has forsaken society and is living the life o a hermit, wearing overalls and going harei 101. with her yellow hair hang ing down her back. This does not stir up the (ear ducts or the secret recesses of our immortal soul .i much as maybe it would if we did not stop to think that a woman who goes around in overalls an. 2 hare feet is not romantic. A woma.i in overalls looks like a sack of meal with a string tied around the middle of it. and if Iter hair is hanging down her back as she treads the mighty forest it is full of dead leaves, and maybe other things; her Grecian nose is peeled like an onion with sunburn and her face is as freckled as a politician's past record, while her dear lit'b pink toes ure hard and horny and dirty. The dear and everlovable woman who wears clothes and is not a stranger to the bathtub is good enough. soon be ruined. It is no Tvvmder food Is high, the way money i squandered on it and other thing?? by th very people who ore howl ing because they can't spend more." This is probably an over-drawn picture of New York life, and it would certainly not fit the average American city. Yet there is enough truth in it to call for serious thought. There has been much talk about the extravagance of the rich, causing high prices. Ii is lime something was said about the ex travagance of the poor. Certain it is that many a once humble work man, or workman. s wne or son or daughter, has lost all sane perspec tive as a result of war-time wages. and is indulging in a scale ot ex penditure not merely ruinous to the individual or family concerned, but encouraging dealers of every sort to charge "all the traffic will bear." Profiteering is onlv one .side of the storv. There is the other side of reckless spending. lloth must be checked. If we are to have a re turn to honest, old-fashioned profit we must also return to honest, old- fashioned thrift. :o: WHEN WE BECOME BOLSHEVIST non in 1 his i.-. -abidinf .

The letter states that the league of nations is all wrong; that the world's statesmanship is defunct, and that I5olshevis.ni is the only remedy offered to distracted peoples. The articb-s are to be signed "Cos mocrat," and we are to have them for the modern price of ?2",.

Holmes had a elcso call from losing bis Chevronlet louring car by lire and but for the prompt action of mem bers of the J. II. Short, family the car would certainly have been de stroyed by fire. Mr. Holmes had used the car to drive down to the I'.ur linglon station to meet the 1:1." train and on his return had left the car parked in, ihe rear of the apart ment house. It was just a few min utes later that Mr. Holmes who re sides in one of the upper floors of the apartment house was aroused by the neighbors with the announce ment that his car was burning. He rushed out iir.d found that the auto was afire in three places and but for the prompt work of one of the Short boys the car would have bet 11 en tirely destroyed as the lire- was burning briskly and the shutting off of the gasoline supply by Mr. Short served to prevent the fre from spreading. The fire was caused from a short circuit beneath the floor of the car. The running board. the wiring of the car and part of the floor was destroyed by the blaze. The use of dirst and water served to put out the fire. The ear fortuna"" ly was insured so the lns will t.ot be so heavv to the owner.
