WOMAN'S WAY. Audrey Munson, who has gain. i sumo fan: i?4ft-Ue of her announcement that Uo huii an amlntion to marry a vhystr.illy jierfect man. !o:ng re; -ixfd .ir- j-m.?eK3 some perfection htTteif, is after ail ffmitiifio. X.nv she dcesn't want to marry a man who rlosn't w. hor. In hort, t-ht wants to go through the rvealar prurcss which man itii'l maid have pursued since tho iavo man quit carryt ti jdc off his prospective bride ly main force, i'e.l milder and pleasanter methods camp into vol;;;.-. V ou know how it is with a wi.man and Audrey s-ferns to be true to her sex. Things may have been going a bit slow ami sh may have been a trifle disfoura ged. A little adMTtising to liven the situation mij:th d. seme good, she may have thought. C'onseQUrntly she let it ip that she wojld be tdeased to marry the perfect man. Of com so. livery man is perfect, or just as near that condition as the woman thinks she an z-t. when she marries him. If there is disillusion

ment, it comes later. Now, having renveyed the infor- J

mation and finding some willing. Audrey want to make selection. Not physical perfection alone will do. She is not to be had for the asking. He has got to bring

candy, send tlowers and say silly but. sweet things j when he calls. So after ail it is to be carried on in ihe j old wsv.' The Texas cwbovs ma- think thev are per- I i feet but Audrey ruay be able to cite several points on J

which they are below the standard. We were discouraged over Audrey at first. We thought she was too eager. Now she has. got on the regular feminine plane and we have confidence when she says "yes" to a man lie will be aware he, had to prove bis worth to induce that reply. And we imagine the man who hears that word will put in days of suspense before the blissful moment arrives. A woman ie a past master at dallying with a man to the pcitjt of sending tiini into the depths of despond without permitting him to lose entirely the desire to iry again, if she wants liim to. It's just like a man to permit himself to be rebuffed and yet yearn fcr the company of the cruel one wlio appears to delight in his suffering. But then that's woman's way and that's enough.

A MONUMENT TO WASTE. The United States long has wished for a merchant marine. It now has the ships but apparently is far from a profitable and well-established enterprise in the line sought. The mess is the result of extravagance and mismanagement" that has characterized every step in building the ships and putting them into the carrying trade. Representative K. Hurton of Ohio said the other day; "AH the blunders, waste and extravagance which have brought bankruptcy to men and nations, if rolled 'into one, could net surpass the losses which the shipping board and its subsidiaries have brought to the I'nited States treasury." In live years since the shipping board was created $3,500,000,000 has been expended, on ships. If they were earning money, there would be no cause for complaint. Possibly none is making a dollar of profit while hundreds are tied up to docks or rotting at anchor. However, the gigantic loss which the government faces is well known. It will remain an unenviable monument to the last administration. What to do about t lit situation is the puzzle now. We have now about 1,800 ships. Many of them are worthless, but how to dispose of the ones that are worth while and yet have them used in carrying our commerce is the enigma to be worked out. In order to stop maintenance loss it is desirable to have the ships transferred to private owners at the earlieM mcm.-nt. Howto insure the ships to remain under the American Hag may require a subvention and Mr. Hurton seems inclined in that direction Having built ships at such a cost, having had to stand tiie waste and extravagance and incompetence of tin se in charge, it Is the business of the government to save- what can be saved, yet to guarantee that the ships of value go to form an effective merchant marine.

GOOD BAILKOAD SHOWING. A better outlook is afforded by the railroad gains showing the carriers steadily advancing in the last two months. Net earnings increased in June to more than $50. 000. t'Oi), and rose in July to $54,OO0,n00. As a business barometer, tho transportation inrerests furnish a reliable sign of the general course of the nation's activities. The improvement noted by the principal roads is convincing evidence that business conditions are gradually building upon a sound foundation following the period of readjustment after the abnormal influence of war times. The increasing earnings of the railroads bespeak the growing volume of shipments. Mariu-ts are opening for more products. In most lines there is resumption of normal prices. With complete revival of industrial activity, when mills and mines operate again in full force, the corner will be turned for the entire c ountry. Those who apprehend a continued slackness are no longer warranted in predicting stagnation. The fall outlook is much rore favorable than it seemed to them a few months ago.

CHATS WITH YOUR GAS MAN

The Standard Steel Car Company of Pittsburgh recently said. "Our conception of tervice is not something you have done to a car, but something you get out of it." Applied to our gas service, we have a similar conception. In our last chat with you, we tried to show you that the actual cost of manufacturing the as itself if only a factor in the determination of rates to be charged. U'e pointed out that it is the expense of getting it from our holders to your point cf use that really counts. In fact, our service u the important item. So the value of our service to you is a question of how much Y ou get out of it. If you can cook your meals, heat your water, r warm your rooms efficiently with gas, you are receiving service. Since you can do these thing cheaper, cleaner and more efficiently with gas, you are receiving the least expensive service. You are enjoying something definite, something useful, and something good by being connected to our mains.

TO THE PUBLIC I have examined this stock of furniture and have no hesitancy in recommending di ray friends to attend the sale. It is one of the finest stocks of furniture I have ever been asked to sell at auction. It will pay people to come from the country to buy at this sale as yon surely will save a lot of money. Ycurs very truly, JIKMY TR0ST, Auctioneer.

This is our method of forgetting that the war is over. When this stock is sold out, we must start all over ajjain at before-the-wsr price levels. Circumstances compelled this move. Under the hammar goes our medium and high-grade stock of Furniture, Cook Stoves, Heaters, Gas Ranges, Rugs (all sizes and patterns), Talking Machines, Sewing Machines, and a complete stock cf House Furnishings. Nothing held in reserve. If you don't see what you want to bid on ask the auctioneer to put it on sale. Auction Held Afternoons and Evenings Sale will be held afternoons commencing at 2:30, and evenings commencing at 7:30. This auction sale will prove a magnet in drawing large crowds. Let nothing keep you away if you can't come the first evening, come the second, for it's a chance of a lifetime to buy new furniture at your own price. Auction in charge of Jimmy Trost cf Hammond, known to almost everyone in Lake County.
