She likes a little heartT warming appreciation now and then, and no amount of material compen sation will wholly satisfy her unless it be glorified by a touch of human 'understanding and sympathy, It is not praise she wants; it;? the as . surance of having filled, need in somebody's life. Q '; j . In her desire to be of service, woman often needlessly subordinates herself, especially in her home re ... lationships. She makes a mistake ' to take for her own use only the . things that remain after the rest of the family has chosen itsgoods and clothing and forms of entertainment.' ;Jult so surely as she puts, a low value upon what is ner cue, omer iwill undervalue, her, and in the same sonality she lessens her- influence over others and her enjoyment in all . the relationships of life. But even when she has fully main tained her own poise whjle serving ' others, she must not expect too much of exnressed acknowledement from family or friends. The spoken fword - is adequate enough to voice our surface feelings, but among the things "that lie too deep for" words" are the sentiments created by a wom an's home service, and let" no wom an sigh when-words are withheld. When she gives of her best and grows to- her highest capacity for giving, her value to others will be amply manifested in the satisfying and stimulating home influences shs will keep in operation.

Omaha, Neb. Is the League of Women Voters . a Menace? New York The charge that the League of Women Voters or any or ganization of voters which promotes special claims in government with out being organized and acting as a political party is a menace to the free institutions of the United States has aroused considerable public dis cussion. The full significance of the two-party system of government in this country is how being argued on all sides. On one side are those who believe firmly in that system as exejudir anything like a third or opposition party, a system to which group ac tivities, uncontrolled by the two par ties, are a. menace. On the other are those who advocate full freedo.n of the individual to, be associated with whatever groups he likes, so long as these groups fight in the openl and to support any party he wishes, with or without tying him self to that comparatively small number of so-called bosses who, he believes, controls those parties. Many Groups Affected.. The argument is under way in the press, on the platform and in private conversation. ' Leaders ot srrouo or ganizations other than the' league against which the charge was pri marily directed have come forward to protect their rights- Such or ganizations include the Ami-batoon league, the Citizens union, the Com mittee of Forty-eicht. and it is held that if the charge is to apply to one organization it must be regarded as covering all interests which seek to influence legislation without organ izing as a. political party. This would include chambers of com merce; boards of trade, medical free dom societies, private clubs .like the Union League club of this city, man ufacturers' associations, labor or ganizations and lobbies.

The Eternal ' Search for Happiness Philosophers say that the search for happiness underlies all human motive. How many women are happy when their feet hurt? Shoes are such an every-day af fair that women (and some men) nut up with uncomfortable feet as II it were a pumsnmens nanueu down from Eden, not to be avoided. If you are one whose feet have suffered, much or little, let us show you a good-looking shoe that wear ers call "the molt comfortable shoe I've ever had on.".' It is the Cantiliver Shoe, crown in popularity and demand year by year, because jf its good looks, its natural manner without any ap pliances its correct shape cover ing the foot snugly -without pres sure anywhere except that gentle, W restful support under the arch. In Cantilever Shoes, you stand with less fatigue and greater pa tience. You walk with pleasure and a zest. These are the shoes that will give you comfort, health and happi ness. ' , . Come and see.

They know that it cannot be delivered as a unit either to the republican or democratic flarty. They know that women are analytical; that they 'want to-be shown;' that they cannot be herded together, as, to our shame be it said, has at least in some instance? been true of the male voters; and, cf course, theyvare anxious to maintain 'our institutions' and confine our po litical channels of expression to the republican and democratic parties, because ,so long as this can be dour the women have nowhere to go and must choose between the two wing? of the same machine. They know that the voters' at large, be they men or women, are anxiously awaiting a political realignment that will give birth to a party which will success fully contest the elections, both, slate, congressional and presidential, but they need not fear that in such an. event the desire for a two-party sys tem will be seriously upset; for 6uch a party would very speedily step into the front ranks as a major party of opposition. Reasons Summarized. "The reactionary machines wiiich now control the republican and dem ocratic parties would find their bi partisan tactics xno longer available. They would be automatically forced into an open alliance and we would have what we sorely need and what this cbuntry has never possessed a party of reaction and a party of progress. It is safe tfi conclude that. under these circumstances, real issues would forge to the front. Two such parties would be compelled to de bate, in public the problems from which we are all suffering. Cam paigns would be waged on issues and not personalities, and the sentiment of the voters on one side or the other v;ould be registered in unmistakable terms at the ballot box. "This is a continjrencv which the opponents of the League of Women Voters really fear.

"Your Credit Is Good at BeddeoVV Take Advantage of it What's What By HELEN DECIE I: nine out' of 10 men were askc'J what quality they pVefer in a woman the answer would te "daintiness," or a phrase cquivalem to that meaning. The 10th man might say. "beauty" or "charm" or "style," but even he would put daintiness before these, if given time to assort his thoughts. There is nothing that the average man or the superman or any other man dislikes more than sloveliness in a woman. Another man may have a rumpled tie, an unclean collar, a dusty hat or even black nails and the critic remains indifferent.' But the girl with unbrushed hair, with hat askew, with missing buttons, arouses in every man a violent )in tipathy. No girl can afford to be untidy. It stamps her as so wanting in self-respect that nobody respects her. (Copyright, 1920. ty Puhllo ledger Co.) i . The word prune means plum and is especially applied to dried fruit of the plum.

Announcement was made on September 5th of a closing out sale of the entire jewel stock in the Edholm store with a (price reduction on everything in the store including silver which'vras given a substantial discount off the newly estab lished price. An additional discount of twenty percent was made by the manufacturers on 'January 1st. To meet this reduction Mr. Edholm established a new basis from whieh he has been giving, and will continue to givo as long as the stock lasts, the same substantial discount and an even greater ad ditional discount than those given during the four months prior to January 1st.- These radical reductions bring down the :rice of silverware to about what it was in 1917 or before the war pronounced as the lowest price ebb by silver experts.
