TIME TO CALL A HALT
QfEEDING tramps has become a problem in many sections of
, J the country, and strenuous measui?s a w .Deing taken in some
' communities to stamp out the nuisance. Thesean be no excuse nov$
for any man to travel over the country on the theory that the world
owes him a living, existing on hand-outs and the few cents than can
be begged from unsuspecting and sympathetic people.
After conferring with the police of the various cities of the
state the State Council of National Defense of Wisconsin has pro
mulgated the rule to stop giving food to tramps, which it thinks will
prove effective in the drive against professional idlers.
If there were no soft hearted housewives who think that they
' are doing wrong if they turn a man away hungry, there would be
no tramps. The city of Eugene, the county of Lane, the Booth
Kelly Lumber company, the West Coast Lumber company, the Fisher
Lumber company, and dozens, if not hundreds, of other firms or
fanners are in need of help. Any man who is able, to work and will
not work should be made to work.
"He shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow" was the sen
tence passed upon man and shall the tramp be exempted from the
tasks which fall upon all. It is worse than foolish to feed a tramp,
just as it would be criminal to aid anyone else in breaking the law.
"Stop giving food to tramps."
SAVE THE GARDENS
IN view of the weather conditions it is now more important to
save the gardens than it was to plant them several weeks ago,
for the reason that large crops were planted by the farmers and our
gardens were merely supplementary. Now the crops are threatened
because of the drouth and the gardens. become of first importance.
Whatever action may be taken by the water board in conference
witrt the citizens Saturday evening, to relieve the situation will be
welcomed by every garden owner and it will also be of benefit to
those who are depending on their neighbors' gardens, although
there may be few of these. It may not be possible for the board to
make better rates than are now in force, but if such a thing is pos
sible a lower rate might be an inducement to many to use water more
freely and thus produce more vegetables and food stuffs that would
go far in relieving the situation that we are facing.
The presesnt water rates are much lower than those of last year,
us can be seen by referring to the table printed in yesterday's Guard.
Those who spent $3 for water last year can get the same quantity
how for $2, a decrease of 33 1-3 per cent. The more water used the
lower the rate becomes, therefore those who have gone to the trouble
of making gardens should see to it that plenty of water is used, for
every dollar spent for water will mean one hundred per cent increase
in yield.
-A temporary arrangement to furnish water to the people at a
rate that would save the gardens would be carrying out the idea of
patriotism, and the cost to the city would be very small. However,
there may be legal complications in the way of such an arrangement,
and those whose gardens need water, had better use the hose free
ly, for delay of 34 hours means a loss.
A Story of Married Life
REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By Adele Garrison
One of the most encouraging evidences of the coming of per
tnanent and substantial prosperity to the Pacific coast is the fact that
it is becoming able to reach out and get big business in competition
with the east. A Seattle concern has just been given the contract
for the erection of 480 bungalows at Akron, Ohio. The greatest
significance in the deal is that it shows that western business men no
longer are under the necessity of depending upon the east for their
own enterprises, but are able to reach out for business which was
heretofore thought impossible for them to get.
If Mr. Bryan would do a little missionary work in his home
itate, or rather undo that which he has already done, the rest of us
would appreciate it very much.
China has juit about decided to continue the republican form
pf government and likeJRussia she will "come back" strong.
How Madge Gave Miss Sonnot Her
Longed-For Opportunity to Go to Franoe
I saw very little of Dicky's sister and
her husband during the week they spent
In Now York before sailing for France.
True, Harriet spent some portion of
evory day with her mother, but she ate
at our tablo only ouce, always hurrying
back to the hotel to oversee the menu
of ber beloved Edwin.
Itcasoning that In a similar situation I
should not care fur the presence of an
outsider. I left the mother and daughter
alone together as much as I could with
out appearing rude. I think they both
appreciated my action, although, with
their customary Teserve, they said very
little to me.
D Braithwaite came twice during the
week to see us, each time making a hur
ried call. Harriet appeared to wish to
impress us with the importance of these
visits from so busy and distinguished a
man. But the noted surgeon himself was
simple and unaffected in his manner.
One thing troubled me. - I had done
nothing, said nothing to further Miss
Sonnot's desire to go to France as a
nurse. She had left us the day after
Dicky's sister and brother-in-law arrived,
left with tho admiration and good wishes
of us all. The big surgeon himself, after
watching her attention to his mother-in-law
upon the day of arrival, made an ap
proving comment.
"Good nurse, that," he bad said. I
took the first opportunity to .repeat bis
words to the little nurse, who flushed
with pleasure. I knew that I ought to
at least inquire of the big surgeon or his
wife about the number of nurses be was
taking with him. but there seemed no
fitting opportunity, and I did not moke
one.
I did not try to explain to myself the
curious disinclination I felt to lift a hand
toward the sending of Miss Sonnot to the
French hospitals. But every time I
thought of tho night she had told mo of
her wish I felt guilty. It was tho same
night I had seen the picture of Jack Bick-
ett, my brotbor-cousin, In her scrap book
and discovered that the little nurse was
the sister of one of Jack's best chums.
Tho girl had unconsciously revealed to
me the fact that she had a romantic in
terest in Jack, whom sho had never seen,
and I remembered that Jack had once
expressed a desiro to meet his chum's
sister.
Jack was already "somewhere in
France." If Miss Sonnot entered the
hospital service, there was a possibility
that they might meet
A beuutiful American nurse, a wouud-
ed American member of tho engineering
corps, my imagination racod across tho
ocean and pictured tho Inevitable result
of that meeting.
I sincerely liked and ndmircd Miss Son
not. My brothor-cousir. had been the only
man in my lifo until Dicky swept mo off
my feet with bis tempestuous wooing.
My heart ought to have leaped at the
prospect of their mooting and its possible
result. But I felt unaccountably do-
pressed nt the idea, instead.
Then Fate Took a Hand.
Tho last day of tho Broithwaito's stay
Harriot camo unusually early to see her
mother.
I can stay only a few minutes this
morning, mother," sho explained, as she
took off her heavy coat "I know, In
answer to the older woman's Btnrtlcd
protest "It is awful this hiBt day, too.
I'll como back toward night, but I must
get back to Edwin this morning. He 1b
so annoyed. One of hie nurses has fallen
ill nt the last moment and cannot go. Ho
has to secure another good one imme
diately, that ho may get her poBsport at
tended to In timo for tomorrow's sailing.
And ho will not have one unless he Inter
views her himself. I loft him cnting his
breakfast and getting ready to rcceivo a
flock of them sent him by some physi
cians ho knows. I must hurry back to
help him through."
Miss Sounot's opportunity hod come!
I knew it, knew also that I must spenk
to my sistor-in-lnw nt onco about her.
But sho bad finished her flying little visit
and was putting on her coat before I
finally forced myself to broach the sub
ject. The Very Thing.
"Mrs. Braithwnlto" to my disgust I
found my voico trembling "I think I
ought to tell you thnt Miss Sonnot, the
nurso your mother had, wishes very much j
to enter the hospital service. She could
go tomorrow, I am sure. And I remem
ber your husband spoke approvingly of
her." . .
My sister-in-law rushed past me to the
telephone.
"The very thing!" She threw the words
over her shoulder as she took down the
receiver. "Thank you so much." Then,
as she received her connection, she spoke
rapidly, enthusiastically.
"Edwin, I liuve such good news for
you. Dicky's wife thinks that little Miss
Sonnot who nursed mother could go to
morrow. She said while she was hore
that she wanted to enter the hospital ser
vice. Yes. I thought you'd want ber.
All right. I'll see to it right away and
telephono you. By the way, Edwin, if
she can go, you won't need me this fore
noon, will you? That's good. I can stay
with mother, then. Take care of your
self, dear. Good-by."
She bung up the receiver and turned to
me.
"Can you reach her by phone right
away, and if she can go tell her to go to
the Clinton at once and ask for Dr.
Braithwaite?"
I paid a mental tribute to my sister-in-law's
energy as I in my turn took down
the telephone receiver. I realized how
much wear and tear she must save her
big husband.
"Miss Sonnot!" I could not help be
ing a bit dramatic in my news. "Can you
soil for Franco tomorrow? One of Dr.
Brnithwaite's nurses is 111, and you may
have her place, if you wish."
There was a long' minute of silence,
and then the little nurse's voice sounded
in my ears. It was filled with awe and
incredulity.
A Hast Call.
"If I wish!" and then after a pregnant
pause, "Surely, I can go. Where do I
learn the dctallB?"
"You are to go to the Clinton and ask
for Dr. Braithwaite. Ho expects you."
"The Clinton? Let me see. I can be
thcro from here in 20 minutes."
"That will bo splendid. Try to run in
for a moment before you go if you pos
sibly can."
"I will come. Good-by."
"I see she accepted." Mrs. Braith
waite lost no time in taking the phone.
"How soon will she be at the Clinton?"
"Twenty minutes." . . I
"Good work," commented the other,
approvingly, und then relieved the anxi
ety of the harassed surgeon at the other
end of the wire.
It was almost dark when Miss Sonnot
redeemed her promise to see me for a
moment before sho left. I had had a
trying day, for my mother-in-law's grief
at the imminenco of her daughter's de
parture was pitiful, and I had been at my
wits' end trying to render little services
to her In an unobtruslvo way.
Mother Graham flnnlly had fullcn into
a fitful sleep, and as I snapped on the
light in the living room I heard the door
bell.
I answered It mjself, and confronted
the little nurse, her whole face radiant,
every lino of her vibrant with joyous en
thusiasm. Beckoning her to come into my room
where the sound of our voices would not
disturb the invalid, I led her through the
living room and put her in my favorite
rocking chair.
"Now tell me about it," I said smiling.
"Talk about dreams coming true," sho
said, her eyes shining. "I am really go
ing. And it is all due to you."
Sho hesitated, came toward me and
shyly took my hands in hers.
"I shall ncvor forget what you have
done for me," she snld, almost solemnly.
"Belicvo me, I understand and am grato
ful." I put my amis around her and kissed
her.
"Write to mo sometimes," I said, and
tell mo nil about yourself. That will
cancel my fancied obligation. I am very
glad for you, my dear."
But after she had left mo, I went into
my bedroom, locked the door, and let the
tears como which I had been forcing
back. I did not know what was the mat
ter with me. I felt a little as I did once
long before when a cherished doll of my
childhood had been broken beyond all
possibility of mending Unreasonable as
the feeling was, it was as if a curtain
had dropped between me and any part of
my life thnt lay behind me.
