"1 he farm certainly is doing better
tor his being here." he was saying
"If you want to buy it. as you in
sist, it will be worth more to you
than it was before he came."
"Yes. and Wade will want more
for it if he sees that," the older man
grumbled. "I told you about that
stranger that came up from New
York this spring to see the country
around here."
"You mentioned that a man had
been looking for a building site for
a summer home." Clifford replied.
"Well, what he set his heart on
was the bit of meadowlaml down
•tear the lake—that piece that ,
about the others." .
"The knoll? Yes. 1 know. It's a
candy place for a house."
"So he thinks. And he's willing
to pay a big price for it. 1 told
him I held it very high. He's chock
full of money. I said I'd not. think
of selling it yet. but that I might
consider talking the matter over with
him in the fall."
"But it's Wade's property," Clif
ford reminded him. "What good
does that do you?"
"If I can buy the. farm before
this New Yorker comes again, I can
ask him most any x*ce I like."
"But how can >">>'■ buy the farm?

"I have some. The rest I must
borrow. You might help me get it
Clif. You know lots of business
men out in Chicago."
"What about security?" the ques

"Can't you see that if I can get
this farm from Wade. then sell that
meadow land for a whopping big sum
to the New York chap, I can pav
back right away every cent of the
money I borrow?"
Some Schemer
Clifford Chapin broke into a
chuckle of amusement and admira
tion.
"High finance!" he exclaimed.
"You're some schemer. Pa!"
"This property's goin' to be valu
able sometime when they run the
railroad nearer than Midland." the
farmer predicted. "That may not
be for a while yet but it's sure to
come. I might just as well get the
good of the boom as anybodv else.

Does Not Worry Now
"I was advised to try Tonall and

"I had stomach trouble for a long
time. It affected my nerves and my
appetite was ruined. My nerves
were unstrung and I was kept from

"Tonall completely renewed my
entire system, strengthening my
nerves and restored my appetite.
And how I do sleep! Tonall is our

money. But it's plain he hasn't, for
this fellow's not getting a mite of
salary. I guess the young doctor's
not doing very well out West. Now
is the time for me to buy—while he
needs cash."
"What about his sister?" Is she
working?" Clifford queried.
"She's not through college yet,
Amos evaded. "So she's costing her
brother something, and is an ex
pense to him. 1 guess." Amos re
plied.
"I say," the soti started to ask a
question. then evidently thought
better of it. Instead, he yawned.
"I'm going to bed. Pa. We'll talk
this over you and me before I go
back to Chicago. There's time enough
before then."
Elizabeth sat motionless after the
men had gone into the house, and
she had heard the doors of their re
spective bedrooms close behind them.
So this was the scheme! She un
derstood it all now. She saw plain
ly what Amos Chapin was about,
and her blood boiled with indigna
tion.
Yet was it not natural that a man
of his tvpe should look out for him
sel?
The farm the old home that she
and Douglas loved Amos Chapin
wished to buy. If Douglas was as
poor as he had been for the past
year, he might have to sell the old
place to enable him and his sister
to live. I'nless he was successful
and he had not been successful this
spring, he could not afford to hold
the property.
What could she. his sister, do In
this crisis?
Her Way to Help
The only way in which she could
help Douglas would be to carry out
his scheme with regard to John But
ler, so that the young man's cure
would bring the physician other pa
tients. Vet to wait for these might
mean the loss of the farm.
But it must not! The girl set her
teeth grimly. Surely the invalid was
improving with a rapidity that must
surprise and delight his mother and
advertise his success to all his ac
quaintances.
Suppose that. Douglas was really
in love with Alice Butler! She was a
rich girl. If he married her .
Elizabeth Wade shook her head im
patiently. She knew her brother too
well to fancy that he would marry
any women, no matter what her
wealth unless he himself were
making sufficient money to support
both her and himself.
Then unless he succeeded in his
profession Douglas could not have
the happiness of a wife and a home
of his own for many years to come.
He must succeed. The sister closed
her eyes and pictured the future as
she wished it might be. Butler would
return to Riverhill completely and
enthusiastic in his praises of the
young physician whose regime had
wrought his cure. His mother -would
be elated. She would tell of DY.
Wade's skill. The successful physi
cian would immediately become more
successful. His popularity would In
crease. Wealthy patients would flock
to him and money would flow into
his pockets. He would marry Alice
Butler if he loved her.
And what about his sister? Eliza
beth Wade opened her eyes with a
start. She decided that she was too
tired to-night to dwell on her own
future. She would go to bed and
to sleep and indulge no more just
now in waking dreams.

Four Big States Hit
Hard in Revenue Bill
Washington, Aug. B.—The four
large industrial states, Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts and Illi
nois, will have to pay three-fourths
of the taxes levied in the new SB,-
000,000,000 war-revenue bill, accord
ing to Representative J. Hampton
Moore, of Philadelphia.
"And we haven't enough votes to
stop It," he remarked to-day.
"The way the new revenue bill is
being written," said Representative
Moore, "the. four large Industrial
states in the country, Pennsylvania.
New York, Massachusetts and Illi
nois, must pay three-fourths of the
J8,000,000,000 in taxes that will be
collected next year.
"These four large states are pay
ing about that same proportion un
der the present law, but we hoped j
that in writing the new bill the.
Ways and Means Committee would
roach out and find new sources of
revenue for the billions of dollars of
increased levenue that we need. 1
"The ntw bill is being written,
however, with taxes on industries
its basis, and the four large indus-1
trial states have not enough votes
cn the Ways and Means Committee
to.stop it."

0 MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR CHILDREN V
A Series of Pl
By Ray C. Beery, A.8., MJL
President of the Parents Association.
No. 2 "Shall I Give Reasons to My Child f
THE typical question. "Do you
believe in giving reasons?" is
answered of course, in the af
firmative. You must discriminate,
however, as to the proper time and
circumstances for the giving of rea
sons. Reasoning,with your child, con
sidered from the standpoint of men
tal development, when discipline is
not involved. Is always to be en
couraged, yet many children are bad
ly spoiled by parents who are for
ever giving reasons.
"Is it natural for my little
boy," asks one mother, "to want
to know my reason for com
mands? And will giving him
reasons encourage the 'Why'
habit?"
There is a big difference between
giving a reason while an act of obedi
ence is pending and giving the rea
son some time after the act of obedi
ence, the latter being preferable as
a regular policy. If you care to state
a reason before the act, you should
state it before issuing your command.
For example, suggest in a confidential
way that you are having a little
trouble in hearing the Victrola and
follow it Up with a simple command
to play more quietly. Do not intro
duce the latter by "so" or "there-
Germans See Hope
in American Army
With the American Army on the|
Aisne-Marne Front, Aug. 5. —Ger-
man soldiers generally welcome the
news that more American soldiers,
are arriving in France, believing that
the faster the Americans arrive the|
sooner there will be a decisive &at-1
tie or a definite peace move, accord- j
lng to a sergeant of the Fourth)
Prussian Guards division, who was.
captured by the Americans near
Sergy.
The prisoner told the correspond
ent that the German soldiers were
sick of the war, and also that the
poorer classes In Germany had had
sufficient war, and they believe now j
that Germany is bound to lose. The
capitalists, however, insist on con-j
tinuing the war at all costs.
"German officers," the prisoner
said, "informed us months ago that
the Americans were taking few pris
oners and that those taken were
treated inhumanly. They kept warn
ing us constantly that death was
preferable to being captured by th?
Americans, but not all the German
soldiers believed that, despite the -
high regard in which officers are
supposed to be held.

do not let the child know that you
are giving a reason.
"How would you cope with
this situation?" asked another
mother. "A child has disobeyed
and you ask why he did what
you had forbidden and he an
swers, 'Because I wanted to.' "
"Because I wanted to," is a very
natural and truthful answer to your
question. The thing for you to do
in the future is to avoid a similar
question. To ask a young child why
he disobeyed suggests that you are
finding fault with him. and in most
cases, the child will give a curt an
swer.
Another reason why it is advisible
to avoid trying? to get a chili to es

is very important from the stand

you will expect in the future.

August Furniture Sale
In view of ll;e present general shortage in nearly all lines of manufactured goods, it
was really a serious question for some time, whether or not we should this year, hold
our usual August Furniture Sale; not for the reason that we do not have a good stock
of goods in our store at the present time, as we fortunately have one of the best and
largest stocks we ever had, but with the prospects in the very near future of being sub
jected to a decreased production and further advances in prices in all our lines, it looked
as though it would be the best judgment as well as probably conforming to Govern
ment methods for us not to push for the regular August Furniture business as in for
mer years.
On the other hand we felt as though our customers' interests also deserved our best
consideration along these same lines, thereby helping them to aid the Government by a
profrer conservation of their own resources in a saving on their purchases. We did not
want to disappoint them. Taking everything into serious consideration we finally de
cided that it was only proper and right that our August Sale should be held as in
former years.
In a few words we say, Come Here This Month for Your Home Furnishings and
expect to see a first class stock of goods, priced at'the most liberal reductions from our
regular selling prices which cannot help but mean big savings over goods bought later
in the fall season. Especially is this true when you realize that all goods coming in
from now on must necessarily take higher prices than present regular prices. One
more word, Buy as Early in the Month as Possible.
Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DON'T SHIRK
DEAR MIPS FAIRFAX:
I have known a young man about
two years, who used to call on me
quite often, until one day he proposed
to me, but I could not accept, as I
was not in love with him. I have ex
plained to him that we could be no
more than friends, and have advised
him not to call on me any more and
to forget about me. He stopped for
a while, but about a month ago told
me that he cannot live without me,
and insisted on calling at my home,
although on several occasions I was
out. as I did not care to meet him.
It turned out to be a very serious
matter, as he still keeps on calling
up almost every day, comes to the
house without invitations and irisists
on seeing me. As he is a very fine
young man. I simply cannot hurt his
feelings, although I am afraid I will
have to. I am afraid of the conse
quences. if I tell him plainly that he
cannot call and see me any more.
I have just found out that he is
about to take a room in the same
house where we were stopping for
the summer, and I have spent sleep
less nights ever since that time.
INTERESTED READER.
Don't shirk your plain duty which
is to be honest with the man who
loves you—as you say—"in vain." Pos
sibly your very anxiety about his feel
ings. means that you really care for
him. Search your own heart. If you
are convinced that you want to get
rid of him I assure you you will be
able to do so. The point is that you
are uncertain and he feels it.
DON'T SPARE YOUR FEELINGS
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have known a girl for years. She
nursed me when I was ill, looked out
for my welfare in every way. But she
could hardly ever give me any time
for pleasure, as she worked nights
and I worked by day. So I saw her
only once a week. One day while at
a friend's house I met another girl
I had known about six years. I took
her home that evening and asked her
if I could see her some evening, as
I was lonesome and she was lone
some. too. Our meetings continued
for one year, and the other girl found
out and was upset about it and told
me I had broken her heart. \Vell, 1
made an honest confession of it all,
and she was willing to forgive and
take me back, and she was patient
and kind as ever. But. Miss Fairfax.
