The laa official crop estimate cuts down the
figures previously given as to the probable yield
Of winter wheat by SO, 100000 bushels. 1t con-
cedes the destruction by drought of 4,s6S,OOO
acres and slight injury to what is left. This re-
duction does not mean that this seasons total
yield Of wheat is going to be small, for. except
ing 1901, the acreage still remains the largest
on record. Therefore, although the condition
Of the wheat fields is reported to he the lowest in
10 years, it is thought that the amount produced
will be greater than the general yield of other
years OF decade, barring the years 1901, 1898
and 1892.

Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1902-02-21

We weary of hearing of the perfection
of the loved one, and of romantic plans
for the future married life. Amelia's
eyes and hair may be beautiful, but the
sisters of her sweetheart prefer to talk
and hear talk about their own eyes and
hair
The society mother says to her daugh-
ter: For the sake ofIyour family don't
have long engagement. You'll want to
see him every day, and if don't 90 WI
you to places people will talk.
there must be as many rooms ro---z-
for you as for royalty, and il your faith
er smells cigars, he won't like il, and
other young men will become shy OF the
house, aud your sisters will be bored
and, my dear, il you are going to be
married, marry soon and have done with
it,
SO much depends upon time, place and
the circumstances of those concerned that
it is not possible to lay down a rule as
to the proper length of engagements.
More important 1t is TO think how the
time should be used.
Unsympathetic people often wonder
what engaged persons find to say to each
other during the hundreds of hours they
spend together Consider, however that
they have to tell the history of their past
lives, their present feelings, and their
future hopes. Not long ago | heard an
engaged girl saying, Il wonder if | ought
to tell him alp Probably this "all'' did
not refer to anything more criminal than
some mild 1irtatons, but it is well, as a
rule, to make clean breast of 1t SO that
there may be no revelations after mar
riage. During the engagement period the
couple should point out to each other
alterations that should be made in CON
duct and character as plainly as they
do in reference to the house they are
taking This is better than establishing
a mutual admiration society with mem
bership of two and might save criticism
and nagging afterwards.
The best use to which a couple can put
the engagement time is to settle, for the
sake of each other, their habits in right
direction. A good test of love is to ask
how much is he or she willing to give up
for the sake of the supposed loved one.
| know young men who have given up
almost all small luxuries In order to be
able sooner to afford that greatest lux
ury in life-a good wife. A suggestion
was recently made that there was room
for a new society which should teach hus-
band and wife their duty to each other
''The first article of the constitution
should be that any person applying for
membership should solemnly covenant
and agree that throughout married life
he or she would carefully observe and
practice all courtesy, thoughtfulness and
unselfshness that belong to what Is
known as the engagement period"
This would be an excellent rule, for the
engagement period should prepare for
marriage, and the conduct Of people to-
wards each other In the former should
not greatly differ from what it is in the
latter. Why should lovemaking end with
courtship, and of what use are conquests
II they are not guarded?

Married"

for, while we do not economize on that
which would injure inanimate machinery,
we economize in cheerfulness, in recrea-
ton, in play, in healthful amusements,
which would lubricate life's mechanism
and make it last longer
How many of us allow the delicate ma
chinery of our bodies, so wonderfully
made, to run without fabrication until it
Is so worn, rasped and ground away by
friction that the whole being jars and
shakes, as it were, when it should run
noiselessly and unconsciously!
We economize in our friendships by
negleeting them; we economize in our So
cial life until we are obliged to pause
in our lifework, because the axles, so TO
speak. have become dry, and we have to
stop ife's train every little while because
of the hot-boxes, whereas, if We would
only lubricate our bearings by taking a
few minutes here and there to see the
ludicrous side of life, or have little chat
with friend, we might avoid much ply
steal misery and many things detrimental
to health.
How unfortunate it is that the poor,
the people who should pay the least for
things, pay the highest prices for nearly
everything-prces which even people In
better circumstances cannot afford.
They buy shoes which come to pieces
almost the first time they put them on
and purchase clothing which rips, and
has to be constantly sewed and reserved,
and which never looks neat. They buy
their coal by the bucletful, even when
they could better afford to buy it by the
ton. thus paying two or three times what
it is worth. They buy cheap groceries,
which is the worst kind of economy; adu-
terated spices, because they are cheaper;
poor soaps, poor everything and this is
the worst kind of economy.
The poor would be shocked if they were
told that they are more extravagant than
the people who are well-to-do. 1t is not
always because they cannot afford to
buy in quantities, but they do not think.
These people rarely calculate or use pa
per and pencil to figure out the cost If
poor people would learn how to use their
brains. and learn to figure more how to
buy. with even their small means, to the
best possible advantage, and how to use
| the best economy-not for the day mere
ly. but in the long run--they would grea t.

universities and colleges down through
the high schools into the grammar grades
is, fear, n dangerous fad.
We lack the time and the public lacks
the patience to wait for results in un-
certain experimentation in the grammar
grades Less than one hour in eight is
passed by the child in the school room
when he attends regularly throughout
the school year. The average attendance
would not equal one hour in twelve. Per-
haps there are fads in the home, on the
street, in society, that influence the child
for good or for i'll. Society may train
our youth for social functions, pink teas,
and midnight revels, while the school is
endeivoring to train for better citizen
ship Our schools for delinquents and
detectives are now striving to give each
individual therein that equipment which
will enable him to live an independent
life in the world, and the public schools
should do no less; they should do more
that which they do in the direction of
developing and Strengthening an earnest
desire for better living, for honest labor,
for higher citizenship, for independence,
for self-reliance, is not faddism.
