Where is the sailor boy named Martin Johnson? Miss Lizzie Needham would like'to know. Many years ago Miss Needham had a little boy name Martin Johnson in her first grade room at Mason school. The little fel low's mother was a widow who was away from home all day working and Miss Needham's kind heart was , touted by the forlorn looking little boy. Little Martin grew up as boys do, and enlisted in the navy of Uncle .. Sam some three years ago. Several weeks before Christmas a friend of his told Miss Needham that her old- , time pupil was a jackie on the "New Hampshire." Immediately the thought struck Miss Needham to turn Santa Claus and send the. sailor a Christmas box. Such goodies as that box con tained! Nuts, figs, raisins. - fudge, stick candy, milk chocolate, to say nothing of a very giddy necktie and two wash cloths knit by his former teacher. Days went by and finally a letter from an eastern port came addressed vio Miss Needham. Imagine her sur I rfrise when she found that the box fad not reached the real Martm John , son, but another onel "I can't believe that the box is real ly mine," the letter read, "but as it is ' plainly addressed tr Martin Johnson and I am the only one on board it must have really been meant for me. 1 can't Ijegin to tell you how happy your box has made me this Christ mas and-' I- only , hope that I shall hear from my Nebraska Santa Claus a8Poor, lonely jackie ! ' . He would probably have had no Christmas at . all if the good little lady from far away Omaha had not packed the box of sweets for him! Wit. again I ask, where is the real Martin? Of course, we are hoping that his Christmas was a merry: one. but, nevertheless, we are mighty glad that his twin on the "New Hamp shire" was not forgotten on the day of days!.. ' .

The Ambi tious one longs to be a Yokel. And the Dreamer cries for belief. : : : : : : : By ADELAIDE KENNBRLY. fTlHERE is no consummation just agonizing beyondness, always out of reach," sighs one who roams the earth in search of happiness. . Ah, Roamer. with a Gypsy lust, why scan the earth! You search with a closed heart for that which lies all around you, begging entrance yet you shake your head and pass it by. Ambitious One. "Only the Yokel is happy happy in his ignorance. His dumb satisfac tion is a blessing. How I wish I were a Yokel! The more one thinks the keener one feels! Pain! pain! ! pain! 11" . And the Ambitious one sighs for relief. You are wrong, Ambitious one' The Yokel is no more happy than you are he, in his ignorance, is not satisfied. He longs to be what you are and you long for what you are not. The Dreamer. "Dreams, dreams, always dreams! Dreams that never come true! Wishing, longing, hoping, all in vain! Nothing is real." The Dreamer plaintively cries for belief. Dreams, like happiness, exist in the mind, senses, soul. Pleasures are phantom wafted on the wings of imagination and linger only with bright spirits. Happiness is a thrill, a sensation, subtle and illusive. Pleasures cannot be pinned down to gross reality. They are reached on tip toes, never on flat heels. . By the dreams of Dreamers is the world prepared for advancement. The practical ones work with material after some Dreamer has dreamed the plan. - There is no consummation? Of course not. Consummation would be the greatest of all disappointments a colossal grief. - - Let the Roamer roam. He brings kindred spirits together. Let the Ambitious one work, for we glory in his achivements. Let the Dreamer dream on, for life would be dull and heavy without his dreams. Restlessness, ambition and dreams are not sorrows, but life wonder ful, beautiful, glorious life. . - PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. A. E.. bryson of Ful lerton.

I also have been writing to a soldier boy who left our county to chefr him up while In the camp. The neighbor boy has given me a blrthstone ring for k birthday present and a wrist watch for a Chrlstmns present. We have quit each other now. Si.oulrf I give back the ring and watch? Has he a rii?ht to get angry at me for writing friendly letters? Please an.wer through, the columns of The Omaha Bee. ' GOLDEN LOCKS." I see no reason why your friend ahould be angry because you writs friendly let ters to a soldter. However, If you are en gaged, you might leave the cheery letters for the unengaged girls to write. t Dear Hiss Fairfax: I am a high school student, and have been going with a young man for a year jipw. We both attend the same church. He Is an auto mechanic and has a fine business In the fashionable dis trict of this cHy, He Is very handsome and all the glrla are crazy- about him. lie has shown me one grand time-, taking me to the theaters and auto riding. He sends me flowers frequently, but I have Just learned his grandmother, was-a full-blooded Indian squaw'. Now he never mentioned this to me, I learned It from one of his dear friends. Pin't you think he ought to toll me? And do you think It would be all right for me to marry him? My parents object very much. Thanking you for your kind advice. RUTH. Ther young man evidently shows you a great deal of attention, but does he love you? You havb not. mentioned an engage ment, although you speak of marriage. A man whom 'the glrrs are all craiy about is an unsatisfactory husband, as a rule. 1 cannot see where the fact that his grand mother was ar India:! makes much dif ference..

He was a physical culture' teacher at our club and gave us his services fre. When leaving the girls suggested thst we get up a party some Sunday and visit him In camp. He has been gone .a few months now and all te girls seem to have forgotten him with the exception of two. We still correspond with him and have managed to knit for htm. In his .last letter, he asked us to spend the next Sunday' In camp with him. as he feels that -Is the only way he: can show his appreciation for what we have done. Of course' tie w-lll jno take us to the camp, but wll entertain us In the Young Men's Christian - association; where be has made arrangements- far us., to have dinner. Do you thJnk It would, be proper for . us to visit him? We are anxious to do so If It is right.- -' TEHE8A.. You tell me' nothing : of this man' char acter, of your, knowledge of him. of your own ages, and of the attitude of your par ents In this matter. In general, I should say that very young girls ought not to go to camp, unchaperoned. I presume the. of ficers and authorities would be grateful if this Idea were carried out and silly, giggling youngsters did not come -to create th6 wrong sort of , atmosphere. But when a dignified man arranges to have two. well hearted girl -friends dlre with him In.. -the. Young Men's Christian association there M nothing to criticise . In the : situation. .' Specialties for Banquets At a recent food conservation ban quet in New York the menu was made up chiefly of vegetables with fish, no meat being served. The Butchers' Advocate suggests that- such by products as calves' brain?, sweet breads, beef tenderloins, smoked tongues, and the like be served at public dinners as parts of meat ani mals not wanted for the army and navy and beyond the reach of the average consumer. These by-products must be eaten, by somebody to facilitate economical marketing, and banquet use is suggested as an outlet.

It is the husband problem, and because there is no blanket cover for "hus band problems" new angles are con tinually presenting themselves. Husbands of the women who have booths at the White Elephant sale, to be held at the Auditorium January 30-31, are becoming nervous, particu larly over the booth which is to con tain gentlemen's clothing. Mrs. Clement Chase, who is in charge, has been very active in soliciting wares and is already the proud possessor of a frock coat, cut-a-ways and full eve ning dress. Mrs. Arthur Smith, chair man of the sale, is said to have given four suits. Now it is rumored that perfectly calm men are growing nervous and uneasy. New keys have been pur-; chased for wardrobes and closet doors to insure the safe keeping of last and best suits. If enthusiasm and hard work are forerunners of success, surely, accord ing to Mrs. Myron L. Learned, the White Elephant sale will be the great est event of the season. The proceeds will be turned over to the National League for Woman's Service. 2 Ws)inniE ing an officer in shaking dice at a pub lic cigar stand."

City i Economical Cakes Increased cost of materials puts a premium upon the baker's ingenuity in devising new formulas for cake, according to the Baker's Ilelper. Granulated sugar is used in place of powdered sugar. Brown sugars and molasses have been found economical for cakes and cookies containing spices. The flavor of dark sugars and mo lasses pleases the public to such an extent that very often these cakes sell better than the goods made with white sugar, both as a matter of flavor and of reduced cost. Lard is now used in cake where butter was formerly considered an indispensable shortening, and other savings are made by eliminating icings and frostings. Some cakes are slightly reduced in sue lady fingers, for instance. A sharp rise in the cost of almonds and other nuts has led to the reduc tion of quantities used in cake. As a rule, the bakers find it advisable to either raise the price or reduce the sire of cake rather than cheapen the quality. .

WE SAVE YDU MONEY THERE - V TJtlMJ , I Street Address State Groceries Minus Gambling "A year ago. when we were at peace with the world, I saw the grocers of New York, Philadelphia, and Balti more mobbed, and their goods taken away without any compensation. The speculator and gambler in foods were the cause of all the trouble. Most of them were rank outsiders, and in no way connected with the grocery busi ness. They had cornered enough of our food supply to raise the re$t away beyond the reach of the poor, and they were fighting for bread. Owinc to' the war,' the demand for food is twice as great now as it was a year ago, and yetv no grocr has been mpbbed and robbed in broad daylight, ' simply because Herbert Hoover has. smoked the food gambler out of busi-, ness.
