A. E.—I am a senior in High
School and want very much to
graduate with my class and my
problem Is this: I would like to
know' if I am going to be promoted
this year. Please solve this for
me.
Ans: Your promotion depends
on Just how sincere your desire is
to go along with your class and
graduate. If you are deeply in
earnest in this matter, you must
lose no time getting right down to
business and doing the studying
necessary to pass all subject^. You
have the ability to graduate and I
am sure you can. But—will you
do it?
***
Z. Y_I have heard so much a
bout how you have helped other
people that I decided to write you
and tell you my problem. I think
I need a diet list and would like
for you to make out one for me for
every week of the year. You see,
Prof., I am a BIG eater and if I
don’t have a list to go by regular,
I might get sick and I don’t want
to do that. Please do this for me.
Ans: It is not that you are so
in need of a diet list my friend—
your problem is to break yourself
of the habit of loosening your belt
every time you stick your feet un
der the table. The good, whole
some food you are accustomed to
eating would tit a king’s fancy. It
is the second and third helpings
that are ruining your waist-line.
You must control your appetite—
if you hope to keep your health
and your figure. Eat moderately
—better to get up from the table a
little hungry than to stuff your
self and pay the penalty.

“Kind Sir—Your Guide of l»4e
proved to be a success. I d^d bet
ter toward progressing last year

mony. I had success in every
way I will continue using your
Guide. Thanking you very much
for your help. Oblige. Mrs. B.J.”

S. K. S.—I am sixteen and a sen
ior in high school. My problem is
this: How can I gain the interest
of boys? I dress nicevdance fair,
I attend canteens. League meetings
and many parties given by the
younger set and am really not bad
to look at. Yet no boys seem to
be attracted to me. I have one boy
friend, but he is so shy that when
we go out he never says anything.
Now I am afraid I won’t get to go
to the Prom next month if some
thing doesn’t happen soon. The
thing that gets on my nerves eo is
that everywhere I go my brother
goes along too.
Ans: You’re leading the other
fellows to believe that you are go
ing steady with your bashful beau
Give the boys some encouragement
and they’ll respond. Ycur brother
can be a big help to you by intro- I
ducing you to new friends and
male acquaintances. He can even
arrange to have them visit in the
home. Why don’t you and your
brother invite your friends in for
little social gatherings and natur
ally you would be the center of at
traction on these occasions.
• **
E. A—I read your paper every
Sunday and would like your advice.
I am married and have seven small
children. There has been some
trouble in my home about my hus
band and another woman. He
says he doesn’t love her but I am
told he slips to her house nights
and he is always glad to meet her
on the road and stops'and talks to
her. I am tired of this now and
want to leave. Please tell me
what to do as I am worried sick.
Ans: At his age, he’s not going
to set the world on fire. Sit tight
and don’t encourage a family dis
turbance. This affair can’t last
long. Besides, a woman with sev
en young ones has to proceed cau
tiously as it would be no easy task
establishing another home- Your
home represents a lot of work on
your part, so why walk out and
leave it for someone else to enjoy.

will be very helpful in this case,
The price is 25c.
T. R_I am writing you for in
formatiqn on toy njarrtage. I have
a good wife but it seems that I
just can’t get along with her when
ever she goes around her people
and friends. Now I want tc ’mow
what I can do to make her stay
home when she gets off from work.
Ans: You might keep her home
—but she will not be content. It
would be far better to take a more
reasonable view and be more un
derstanding of her desires. Every
woman needs some diversion from
the routine of a regular Job and
household duties. Take her out
more often for entertainment and
fun and you will gradually wean
her away from these associates
with whom you are not congenial.

ALONG
MY WAY
(BY LAWRENCE P. LEWIS)
EARNING IT
THE HARD WAY!
Many, many years aeo, when I
was just a lad, and thought of
playing hookey from school just to
go fishing, but never had enough
nerve to go through with it, I
walked down the midway at the
Cass County Fair, dreaming about
the time that I would grow up,
earning enough money to ride on
the ferris wheel as many times as
I wanted to, and to eat all the ham
burgers with onions that my stom
ach could hold.
I was not walking alone tha£
I beautiful sunny day. There was
I Bob, Bill, Jerry and Homer- All
* were my friends, but my dreams at
that time didn’t take in my friends.
“Let’s go over to the stock ^
barns,” Bill remarked.
“Might as, well,” I said. “Might .
! earn a quarter watering the ani- ,
mala" ,
We finally reached the barns. :
I Men were washing and brushing j
f-the stock that would soon go Into ^
the ring to be judged. All of us
envied those youngsters who al- 1
ready were earning money, but we i
were determined, so we just stayed ]
around, looking for a prospect. ]
A big husky mem walked up to
me. “How would you like to earn ]
,-a few dollars?” he inquiried.
} “Just name it emd I will do it,”
I answered. A few dollars was
more than any of us had bargained ;
for. We were thinking in terms of
quarters. 1
“Can you ride?” the gentleman
asked.
“Can I ride,” I replied without .
thinking. “Just ask the fellows
here with me.” I thought he want
! ed me to take the show horses out
for exercises- Most of the time
you just led the homes around, but
maybe this man did it different.

“I need a boy to ride my pony to I
to the races this afternoon. You
look about the type- If you win
I’ll give you five dollars, come in
second, three dollars, third, one
dollar. The race starts in an hour.
I have my ponies in number 8.
I’ll look for you in about thirty
minutes,” the gentleman said as he
walked away.
I wanted to shout out that I had
lever ridden a pony in a race, t
was about to run after the man
ind tell him that I couldn’t do it,
when Bob poked fun at me, ‘‘why
mu changing colors? Scared?"
“Whose scared?" I replied, build
ng up my courage at the same
ime. "You just watch the race
his afternoon and you’ll see for
murself. I may not win, but I'll
■ide. I might win at that if the .
x>ny is fast!"
I started toward the barn before
he thirty minutes had passed. I
wanted to take a look at the pony,
’d show them a thing or two about
iding ponies.
"Here already," the man said,
ooking down at me as I slowly
walked into the bam
“I’m ready," I remarked.
"Take a look at her. She’ll win
f she gets a good ride,* he said.
“I’ll do my best,” I answered
ruthfully.
Later after I had looked enough
a satisfy myself that I could ride
ler come what may, the gentleman
sicked me up and gently seated me
>n top of the pony’s baok.
“If the quarter mile gate is open
w^tch her. She’ll go for it every
:ime,” the man said.
“O. K.," I said.
We were at the starting line,
rhey didn’t have gates in those
lays. The trainer or owner just
leld the horse or pony until they
were all straightened out. The
(tarter would then yell "GO!" and
hey were off.
One thing good about it, my
»ny was gentle. She just stood
here waiting for the signal I
wasn’t feeling so well. All of
-hose people yelling, and those
jrancing ponies bucking and break
ng.
uu:- me scarier yenea.
I thought that the pony had
jumped out from under me, but af
:er being bumped into by another
Sony, I realized I was still holding
>n.
I did not have time to think a
jout the gate. My pony was head
ng for the gate. I pulled at the
reins, but to no avail. The gate
was open and through the gate the
pony went. How we ever got
through the gate I do not know.
Parked cars everywhere. People;
scampering to and fro, trying to
get out of the way.
Finally the pony stopped and I
jumped off, shaking so much that
I fell to the ground. My legs just
wouldn’t support my body.
Someone helped me up. I still
couldn’t stand very well. The man
who owned the pony came up and
started to wipe the tears away
that were slowly forming in my
eyes
“You did your best,” he said.
"Take this and have some fun,”
handing me a five dollar bill and
patting me on my back.
I didn’t even stop to thank him.
I was so nervous and excited that
I just clutched the bill and started
running for the midway.
