FAVORS PASSING FUNDS AROUND Robinson, County Treasurer Candidate, Makes Address. First reply to the Democratic campaign thunder concerning Barrett law fund interest, pocketed by county treasurers, came Tuesday night in an address of Clyde E. Robinson, Marion County State Bank president, to supporters of his candidacy for county treasurer at 139 E. Market St. Robinson made no promise to refrain .from collecting the interest, but said he believed in distributing county funds among all legal depository banks of the county. A resolution sponsored by Edward B. Raub, Democratic councilman, to ask the corporation counsel to investigate with a view of diverting the interest funds, averaging $50,000 a year, from the treasurer to the taxpayers, is now under consideration by the council laws and judiciary committee., headed by Dr. Austin H.

MRS. ADOLPH HANSEN HOLMQUIST. SOUTH DAKOTA

“I cannot begin to tell you hotv much good Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I was sick for about four years. I could not sleep, and I was always worrying, so one day we saw your advertise merit fn a paper, and I made upm> mind to try the Vegetable Compound I bought one bottle and did not set any- change* so L got another bottle —Advertisement.

MR. FIXIT

Hedge on Sidewalk Brings Complaint From Reader, I.et Mr.y Fixit present your problem to city offticals. lie Is The Times’ representative at the city hall. Write htm at The Times. Ripped trousers and dresses are a possibility on Twenty-Second St., between Pennsylvania and Meridian Sts., It would seem from a letter received by Mr. Fixit today. t DEAR MR. FIXIT: On TwentySecond St. between Pennsylvania St. and Meridian St. on the north side, an ugly hedge overlaps the sidewalk. Nearly half way and just a little farther east is an old vine on a dilapidated wire fence. When it rains water stands on the north half of the walk. You can't help from wading water. But is the hedge supposed to take up the sidewalk? One hates to brush clothes against a hedge fence. A NEW RESIDENT. A. J. Middleton, engineering department chief inspector, will insist the hedge is removed at once, he promised Mr. Fixit. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would like for you to call attention of the street superintendent to the condition of the first alley east of Kealing Ave. A few loads of cinders would work wonders. GEORGE E. WIESE. With a few more days of better weather, the street department should be able to take care of the alley.

At the second bottle I began to feel better and I have used the Vegetable Compound ever since, whenever I feel badly. I recommend it and I will answer any letters asking about it.”— Mrs. Adolph Hansen, Holmquist, South Dakota. Could Work Only Two Hours Encanto, Calif. —“I bless the day I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I was so weak and tired all the time I could not -work more than two hours each day, then had to go to bed for the rest of the day. I read so much about the Vegetable Compound and I was so weak that I decided to try it. I now do my own housework—washing, scrubbing, and ironing—and then help my husband with his garden. I do not have that worn-out feeling now. I advise every woman to give your wonderful medicine a trial, and I will answer any letters I receive from women asking about it.” — Mrs. Stella Lay, 700 Jamacha Road, Encanto, Calif. A woman who is fighting for her health and her family’s happiness is a valiant soldier. She wages her battle in her own kitchen. She has no thrilling bugles to cheer her on, no waving banners. If you are fighting this battle, let Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound be your ally, too.

A NEW STORY OF A MODERN GIRL

as site lowered her head over a Stocking she darned. Alice came in with a sharp: “Mamina! What are you doing? You know you’re not to exert yourself!” Mrs. McXeil made a furtive gesture of concealment, recovered and smiled appeasingly: “This won’t hurt me, dear. I noticed your father wore one with a big hole near the toe.” “It won’t hurt him to have a hole in his sock once in thirty-five years. Why didn’t he show it to me?” ■'He wasn't complaining. He didn’t say a word. He just put it on, hole and all.” “Well, he didn’t need to stand where you could see it! I’m sure he’s a martyr!” Alice took the darning from her mother. With a shrewish kindness she plumped the pillows,, snapped off a loose thread in the worn matting and with a warning: “Now, rest!” resigned the dust rag to Sandy. Mrs. McNeil folded her little full hands and sighed: “I’m afraid Alice will be very harsh to your father when I’m gone, Sandy.” • * • Sandy ran the dust rag slowly over the black walnut chiffonier. In its mirror she saw her mother’s face with that resigned smile; saw her mother raise a hand and wipe tears from her eyes. Crying because she might go and Angus would be left with holes in his socks! Alice might not he kind to him! But it would be Alice’s duty to minister to her father. Alice, at 32. should be willing to forget herself completely. She would accept joyously and sweetly the fulfilment of Isabel’s life. No one would question this! Why if Sandy were now to say aloud the Hashing things she was thinking, Isabel would stare Jjlankly. If Sandy were to say: “Why should Alice bo glad to live your life, mother? Why should you blame her if site’s harsh? Was Angus very gentle when he broke up Alice's life?” If Sandy said *his, her mother would stare in hurt, shocked silence, as at some ruthless heretic. Didn’t the parent have the right tc guide a child? Didn’t the parent know what was for the child's good? Mrs. McNeil believed this. It was her duty to raise her children ac-

•cording to her beliefs. It was their duty to follow. * • * “Yes,” thought Sandy hotly, “they had the right to prevent Alice from marrying Teddy. He wasn’t her equal. He wasn’t a mate for a McNeil! They interfered to save Alice. The fact that she didn’t want to be saved was of no moment. Isabel and Angus wished her to be saved from this recklessness! Their wish was more important than poor Ally’s love.” Sandy opened the drawers, closing them with a little bang. Her mother sighed loudly. This meant Isabel wished to talk. “She wants to talk about me,” thought Sandy, becoming more and more heated. “She wants to tell me what my duty is and make sure I’m willing to follow it. Yes! They had a right to live Alice's life for her. Now, of course, they have a right to live mine!” She had often heard her mother say: “I’ve sacrificed my life —your father sacrificed his life, for you children.” And she had been saddened by these words many times. They had oppressed her because these two had brought her here at such terrific cost to themselves. But now, watching her mother — seeing her mopping the tears, hearing her audible sighs, Sandy had a feeling of aversion. They hadn't given life freely, gladly. They hadn’t poured themselves out for their children. Hadn't forgotten themselves —EVER! They hadn’t said: “We did the best we could—lived according to our lights. Now the life is yours. Go it bravely, fearlessly. May your light be fuller, clearer, sharper.” No! They wanted Alice to see only as they saw; wanted Sandy Jo walk as Isabel would have walked. They wanted a kind of earthly Immortality—their thoughts, their feelings, their beliefs perpetuated without change: without growth. Because Isabel felt it the duty of a. wife to “surrender”; to obey; to have no thought for sweetness or Joy In love, then Sandy too must believe this the nobler way. She must put aside all thought of escape and ask God to send her children as a compensation.

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

Sandy now shook the mat at the window. She felt stifled as though someone sucked the breath fiom her. Her mother was a kind of monstrous amoeba seeking to absorb her children. Her mother was speaking: “The room’s dusted enough. Come over and sit here.” “I’l tell her now,” Sandy thought. “I’ll make her see it.” Mrs. McNeil rested her head on the pillows, opened her eyes: "Sandy dear, do you mina if I ask? Are you happy?” “Oh, why not! A little row now and then doesn't cramp my style any.” “Won’t you sit where I can see you, dear? Your face is flushed." Sandy thought crazily: "Because a man kissed me! Because I’nt glad about it!” But she said: “It’s a long walk and there's a sharp wind ablowing, Isabel.” “Why didn't you have Ben drive you here?” Her mother now peered narrowly in Sandy’s face. "He would have been glad to do It, wouldn't he? Won’t you answer?" "Yes —’’ breathlessly—“ Why did you tell him of that, mother?” ”Y hat do you mean?’ ‘lt is between us. I promised you—” Isabel blinked. Her soft face took on a gentle, injured look. She spoke very softly, chidlngly: “I thought it would make it easier for you—thought lie would understand —I only want my children to be happy. I think only of your good. It didn’t do any harm, did it?” Sandy was aliout to answer: “No? You only made it impossible for me to keep that promise. You only gave him a weapon against me—” But she chanced to look at her mother, bowe 1 over a little, the soft, double chine resting on her neck. Such a homey, gentle-looking body. To Sandy she now appeared massive. Immovable, relentless. It would do no good to talk to Isabel. She would weep. She would come back tenaciously to her stand. She was right, so Sandy mut be wrong. Her mother would cling to her tenets with blind obstinacy as only those of limited in;elligence s can cling. She would plead and insist as long as there remained breath In her body.

Supisi.se Ben Murilla didn’t like Sandy’s friends? She was young enough to make friends he would accept. Suppose he did raise firetongs against her? She mustn’t provoke him! Sandy got up: “I must go to lunch, Isabel. You don't need to worry about me. I’m happy. That's my nature.” She thought, as she stirred the broth: “This is my affair. I'll meet it.” No good to tell Isabel. She would only get excited —begin to breathe in that quick, gasping way. Alice
