Heart Home 2X Jl MR. ELrl ZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl nineteen year old and I had a date with a young man to go to the picture show. A friend of mine was here on furlough and he asked me to come over. I tried to phone my first friend to see if it would be all right to change our date to some other night I could not get him and bo I left word with his mother to tell him not to come over. She forgot and he came anyway. He is a very jealous fellow and It made him angry to see my soldier friend there. He stayed Just a few minutes and showed on his face how angry he was. Since then he has not phoned or called. .Was I In the wrong? DOUBTFUL. It is never good policy to break an engagement with one boy for the sake of another. I do not blame you, however, since the soldier boy's time was limited and tbe other boy could come any time. The other boy should be more reasonable and not hold resentment. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going to be nineteen In a month. Am 1 too young to keep steady company with a fellow? Yes, you are too young to go with only one boy. A girl of your age should have various friends so that when she marries she can make a choice. , Dear Mrs. Thompson: I come from an excellent family. No family can rank higher than my own, morally or socially. My father is high in church affairs, and my mother was also before her. death. I am married to a man .who came from a good family also, but he is absolutely worthless and runs through all his money and the little I am able - to

TWO SHOCKS One short line daily appearing In that least-interesting section of a newspaper, the financial page, had suddenly become to Ferrol the most fascinating item in the whole paper. He knew to the minute when the first Wall street editions appeared on the stands. He turned at once to "Curb Quotations" and breathlessly looked for -'Bonanza Copper." It was the tiny numerals after those two words that fascinated Ferrol. Every point and fraction of a point these numerals showed above 2 the price at which he bought Bonanza Copper stock, meant increased Joy in ' the expression on his face as he read tho item. For days it had remained at 5. He bad almost trebled his investment. He had already become used to the sunshine of prosperity of ..hih Vi Utfl nnmpralB stood as

symbols. His wife, his children, all smiled and basked in it. They were all becoming acclimated to its warmth. Then one day, when he had grown used to seeing & after Bonanza Copper, his startled eyes saw only the numeral 2. Frightened, Ferrol thought he had read the wrong line. No; it read: Oppn Closed. Bonanza Copper f 2 He Jumped to the nearest telephone and called up Blake. "Did you see the paper?" he shouted. "Did you 6ee that my stock fell down to 2? What does it mean? Can't you do something?" "I wouldn't lose my hair that way if I were you," Blake's voice tried to sound nonchalant. "Stocks have a way of dropping occasionally, you know. It may be that" There followed what to Ferrol seemed a lot of technical and unimportant talk about "inside buying." "bear movement," "shaking the small fry out." Ferrol did not grasp their meaning, nor cared anything about it. What he did understand and cared about supremely was that all the sunlight of his prosperity was gone; that he was back to the point where be was before Bonanza Copper had made him and bis family so happy Indeed, he was poorer. He and Edith had already spent some of the profits on Bonanza Copper and here It was worth only what be had paid for It! It had fallen from 5 to 2 in one day. If it fell anymore it would mean that his painfully gathered little bank reserve would shrfnk. shrink! i Dare be hold on to his stock and risk his family's "rainy day" savings?" "That's entirely up to you, Ferrol," Blake replied to his nervous questioning. "I can't take tho responsibility of advising you now, as I did when I ai sure Bonanza Copper was going.

We have gone together for three years and I know I will never love anyone else. My parents always liked this young man when he was here, but now they have turned against him. There is a bachelor where my father works who has an automobile and makes a lot of money. He is fat and I could never love him, but my parents want me to marry him. He has asked me, and will not take "no" for an answer. Do you think I have any right to marry him when I am engaged and in love with another? What shall I do? Wait for the man you love. Girls who marry for money when they are in love with somebody else regret it all their lives. Your parents are wrong in trying to influence-you in the matter.

With the feeling of experiencing his first earthquake, Ferrol gathered his strength and pretended he felt steady. "All right, I'm with you," he said, nervously. But Edith, when he came home that evening, saw something had shocked him. She had unpleasant proof of it in his first words. "Edie, I guess we'd better go back to the old arrangement," he said. "I mean, I'll pay all the house bills myself." "You mean I'm not to you're taking back the allowance you give me?" ehe faltered, her heart sinking. "Well yes that is till things get back tohere they were " He felt a certain irritation that Edith should regard her own discomfort before asking the reason for his. "Bonanza Copper has dropped to 2!" "But but Jack, dear " Edith's eyes were wide. She was confusedly trying to figure out why the fall of Bonanza Copper should rob her of the boon she had struggled so long to get, the boon that was, after all, based on Jack's salary, not on his stock profits. "Jack it's got nothing to do with " Ferrol glared. Ramming his hands into his pockets, he started to pace the room. He was greatly worried. So as Edith, but tor once she was more determined than sympathetic. Something in her brain stiffened. "John," f he said, returning the glare with a steady gaze, "you must go on giving me the allowance."

"It Is time that we get down to business and try to convince the men on the other side of the matter that thfs is purely a business proposition. We propose to settle any controversy as a business proposition "I have been in the city for five weeks. At my first meeting I admonished you against taking any independent action. The machinery of the government is such that the situation in Richmond could be adjusted without a single man or woman losing a day's work unless the responsibility of the loss lay upon the employer. So far that is true. I do not know how long we can keep that up. Urges Industrial Democracy. "Before I say any more, I wish to say that there are about forty-five spies here tonight and I wish to 6ay to you to go back to your master and if you ever told the truth tell it tonight. Tell just what was said and done at this meeting. But be sure and get your thirty pieces of silver. If you don't you will be scabbing on the job as they are hiring you to do the work. And then after you have done what you could do to keep men and women from getting decent wages for God's sake go out and do what Judas did hang yourselves, finish the job. "The employers have said that there ijf no dissatisfaction in Richmond; that you are all happily contented and that if Smith had not made his fireeating speeches there would be no need for war department representatives in Richmond. "I have advised you not to take any Independent action and to keep the government production going just as long as there was any hope of the government making any redress for the wrongs you have suffered in Richmond. "Representatives of the Metal Trades association have told the manufacturers that they do not have to settle with the Bureau of Labor. "There is no difference between that fellow and Bill Haywood except that one makes the pauper row and the other makes millionaire row. I predict that since Bill Haywood has been sentenced to the penitentiary the time is coming when the millionaire I. W. W. will be hitting the same trail down to Leavenworth. "The employers in Richmond do not seem to realize that there is a change since we have entered this world war for freedom. Democracy becomes a meaningless term in a country where men and women are denied their inherited right to belong to an association along with their fellow employees for their protection and that of their employee. "The industry that does not grant a living wage, reasonable working hours and a decent wage is a detriment to any community, in which it is located. It produces human bankrupts, it degenerates the race and society itself ought to be willing to put that kind of industry out of business. Want Eight-Hour Day. "The labor movement makes mistakes just as the employers make mistakes. The only mistake you have made in Richmond is that you did not tumble to yourselves twenty years ago and organize yourselves as the employers have done. "We only want what the employers I have so graciously taken to them- ' selves. We demand a basic eighthour working day with with time and one-half for overtime. The government says that it what men and women of labor should have. Always put yourself in a position to be with Uncle Sam. Right or wrong stand by him.

The government gives a man or woman the unrestricted right to belong to a labor union or organization. -The president of. the United States has said that every patriotic employer should stand by the decision of the War Labor Board. We have appealed to the War Labor Board.

"The only reason for their refusing is that a world made free for democracy holds no inducement for them. They do not place the cause of humanity above the almighty dollar. "Everyone knows that something is wrong here. Every citizen of the United States desires to see the kaiser licked and we want to see the kaisers of Richmond licked along with him. "The general wage conference voted last night to stand equivocally for a basic eight hour day with time and a half for overtime. The government says that you are entitled to- that. The basic eight hour day should be applied with not less than time and one half for overtime where there is war production. We are willing to work for Uncle Sam but we are not willing to make millionaires. You men in Richmond have done your full share. "Stand by your government and work for it under any condition which it imposes. Lieutenant Burns has been in conference with your employers. I would advise you not to do what you contemplate doing, not out of respect for your employer but out of respect for your government.

This situation is going to be settled in Richmond but the question now is which is going to be the best way." W. H. Miller was introduced by the chairman, Robert E. Graham, and

gave a short talk. He read the telegram which was passed and was sent to Washington last night. The telegram was as follows: Major Gillette, Chief of the Ordnance Department, Washington, D.

We, the men and women of Richmond, in mass meeting voted against any settlement not carrying basic eight hour day with overtime at not less than time and one half for over time and double time for Sundays and holidays and we ask that some relief be given us at once."

Great "Blue Grass9 Race Classic Explains Lure of Lexington

As fall each year approaches, the thoughts of many men, the country over, turn toward Lexington, Kentucky, almost like needles to a magnet. And indtd, the comparison is a true one. For Lexington is a mag-net-an irresistible one. Why? Well it is easy to say. Everybody has heard of the "Blue Grass Region of Kentucky." It is one of the most favored spots in the entire U. S. A. Situated almost in the center of the state and comparatively small in extent, this famous region is known all over tbe world for a few choice products which surpass everything else of 'their kinds. First and foremost of these products are the various breeds of live stock. And foremost among these are the horses. Lexington is the metropolis of the Blue Grass Region. It is the headquarters of all its industries and, in addition, one of the historic towns of the Old South. October is the chosen month for their pilgrimage, because . of two things. At no other time of year is the blue grass so beautiful a region I and a visit to, ajid tour through it, so delightful. And at no other time is Lexington itself so magnetic for then is held the annual race meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders Association' the greatest speed carnival of the world, and the means of assembling together there hundreds of the finest, fastest and most valuable horses in existence. Began 50 Years Ago. It is almost fifty years since the first race meeting of the Kentucky Breeders was given. The beginning was very humble. The Civil War only a short time before had devastated the state and it was slowly struggling back to normal conditions. Many of the great stock farms in and about Lexington had suffered severely during the conflict and many of the breeders had lost their lives or their fortunes. But slowly the pendulum swung back and the tide of returning prosperity set in. In ten years' time the Kentucky Breeders' meetings at Lexington were beginning to attain national fame. In ten years more they had risen to the dominant position which they have ever since occupied. This was due to the managerial genius of Ed A Tipton, who saw the possibilities that existed and made the most of them. Today he is president of the Kentucky Breeders' Association and the man who controls its policies and stages its annual events, which have no equal. The race meetings of the Kentucky Breeders are still held over the original track which was built half a century ago. Despite this fact, it is the fastest one in the world. Here in 1912 Uhlan made the world's trotting record of 1:58. Here in 1916 Lee Axworthy made the world's stallion reclord of 1:581-4. Here in 1905 Dan Patch made the world's pacing record of 1:551-4. Here a majority of America's champion trotters and pacers have, before crowds which have assembled from all parts of this country, from Europe, and even from the faroff Antipodes, battled through the greatest races of turf history. The Kentucky Breeders' meetings at Lexington always last through the first two weeks of October, the choicest month of the twelve in the Blue Grass. This year the opening day is to be Monday, September 30, and the program carries through, with the intermission' of Sunday, until Thursfour races are contested daily, and day, October 10. During this time their total value is about $80,000. The far-famed "classic" event of "the trots" (as Lexington's races are familiarly called) is the Kentucky Futurity, for threeyear-olds, which is worth about $10,000 to the winning colt. This race is decided on Tuesday, October 1. Then, there is the historic Transylvania Stake, the most famous of all annual races for aed trotters. It is worth $5,000 and is decided on Thursday, October 3. Many Rare Attractions.
