Truble in Sight.

In Benton county every
0ody spTays-even s'fatheT"-
and every farmer and fruit grow
or mas long since become con-
vlnced that sprayin is sure
way of saving dollars. Every
body has To spray whether he
likes 1T or not, or cut down his
trees, as tue law demands It.
For this reason certain informa-
ton that is coming to light
makes the prospect rather serious
tor fruit men.
The difficulty is general
scarcity OF copper sulphate, CON-
monty called blue stone, used il
compromising spraying mixtures.
1t is declared that nearly all
dealers report a shortage, al
though some anticipated scarcity
and ordered large quantities early
in the season.
Horticultural papers in Cali
iornla say that it is almost i'm
possible to procure copper sulpate
there, and growers are planning
to use something else that will
serve the purpose nearly as we'll.
Not only will growers have
dlthculty IN securing this essent-
ial of Bordeaux mixture, but
those who do get it will find it
more costly than in previous
years. Last year growers in
vlcinltles paid seven cents pound
tor copper sulphate. This year
the price is already 12H cents a
pound and may 60 higher when
he buying begins.

oi.vJaIg life partner man invariably decides
on woman who, were she man, would be his
best friend and closest companion.
Some men, of course, marry their oppostes
But the majority incline towards the woman
whose tastes, characteristics, and sympathies are
identical with their own.
There many girls who cannot take an inter
est in mans pursuits and ambitions in life
They live in purely feminine world, so to speak
composed mainly of dress, fashion, and amuse-
ment. Occasionally they may dabble in domes
tic work; but they regard the latter in the light
of novelty instead of something to be seriously
undertaken and thoroughly learned in order to fit
them for the position of wife which they may
one day attain.
To them a mans work and ambitions are as
difficult to understand as the Greek and Hebrew
languages. They hope the man in whom they
may be interested will succeed in what he wishes
to do but beyond that they are not capable of
thinking acting with him.
man wants more than this from the girl he
is to marry. She must sympathize with him and
his ideals, and not only sympathize, but gain
some intimate knowledge of his work and ambi.
tions, so that he may be able to talk to her and
be understood.
BY tactfully inviting man to talk over his
worries and difficulties, girl can learn all she
needs about his interests in life. And it is sur.
prsing how will be drawn to her in con-
sequence. 1t is to her he will come to talk over
his tTumphs and failures, knowing full well that
he will obtain delightful praise, or sympathy and
comforting words, which will encourage him to
make another start.
The smpering, gushing, frivolous girl does not
appeal to the average man, She appears to be too
selfish. There seems to be little concern or
thought for Others in her nature. OF course,
there are few men who like what may be termed
the thoroughly serious-minded girl She must
be one who can amuse, and who exhibits at times
those feminine foibes which make woman so
dear to mans heart AT the same time she
must be capable of deeper feelings, and the girl
who can combine these characteristics has by far
the best chance of marrying.
The practical-minded girl, as well as the serious
minded, is much sought after by men in search of
wife.
man knows a girl has domestic qualities
when he hears that she makes her own frocks,
and thinks thing may be as fashionable if it is
inexpensive as if it is costly,
If she can tell how dinner should be cooked,
whether she cook meals herself or not; if she
knows the value of ready money and has hor-
ror of being in debt; then he knows that, as a
WIFE she will save money instead of spending it
avishly and recklessly,
BE circumspect in your conduct at home more
especially when a prospective lover visits you.
lie knows, beyond all possibility of doubt, that
the girl who is the best sister and daughter will
make the best wife.
Girls should study and practice the virtue OF
strict economy.
The reason that more do not marry in these
days is because the expense Of keeping up com
Portable household is far beyond the income OF
the average man.

and now they are as happy couple as one could
meet. The bridging of social barriers by marriage
is not always a success, but if the woman is old
enough to know her own mind-and the unequal
ity is merely that of BIRTH not of intellectual
tastes and pursuits-then let her rise above class
distinction and social prejudice, and glorify two
human lives.
Another case which justhes the woman in TAX
ing the initiative is when the man, by reason
of some bodily infrmity, hestates to ask her to
link her life with his. How many a "lunger"
goes out to distant parts TO die, without the
comfort of knowing that the woman he loves
has already given him her whole heart, and will
wait for him all her life, if need be- rather than
marry another man. How many soldier returns,
disabled in body and wounded in spirit because
he thinks that his hurt debars him from the love
of the girl he cares for?
Their names are legon--these martyrs on the
Book of Fate-their martyrdom all the more
tragic in that it is due to the thraldom of ira
dition, and not to grim necessity. There are few
of us great enough to rise above our prejudices,
but let us give all honor to those women who,
through infinite love and infinite pity, are EN-
boldened to rise above tradition, and take the
initiative.

the feminine wardrobe, the passion for all sorts
of handwork is apparent
Ii you happen to possess bit of old thread
lace, if it is only medallion two inches wide
mount it on fine Brussels net and praise the gods.
Women are paying exorbitant prices for such
enviable things.
Besides, in this day of bogus antiques, there is
heap of satisfaction in letting the world know
that one possesses genuine ancestral wares,
whether old china or lace.
1t is needless to diate on the exquisite beauty
of handmade neckwear; every woman instructive
ly feels its charm.
Baby Irish crochet is charmingy combined
with Valencennes lace; the contrast of the meshes
proves very effective. NIedallons of French en-
broidery are inset in Baby Irish laces, and this is

ties, his prospects of marriage seem hopelessy
remote, then, provided the girl is sure that his
silence is due to these reasons alone, she is
justified in conveying to him that she cares
enough to wait-even for years. Many a man has
missed his chance of happiness with the woman
he cared for because of some scrupe of this kind
because of reluctance to bind" the girl to
what might be long engagement. And many a
girl has married the wrong marketing that 1T
didn't much matter-the man she cared Tor
couldn't care for her, or he would tell her
Another impediment forming an extenuating
circumstance in the event of a proposal on the
woman's part is where the social difference is
very marked. Love bridges all barriers, and
laughs at social distinctions and laws of caste.
OF course this would only be valid reason
where the social standing of the man was infe-
rior to that of the woman. One of the sweet
est women | ever knew-the daughter of cler-
gyman, discovered that man of quite inferior
social positon--a member of her fathers congre-
gation-had become devotedly attached to her.
| Her fine sense of Justice enabled her to per-
ceve in him qualities worth more than social
| standing or ease of manner She knew she could
be happy with him. and, by gentle, womanly
| tact she enabled him to overcome his diftidence,

Keep Out of the Past

you do in this wonderful
WI world,
In business, in church, or at play,
ISSSGsSI Whatever of gain or of loss you have
With the Others who 60 your way,
Keep out of the past
From the first to the last,
And away from its worries stay;
The present has wealth you would never suspect,
If prudent you are, and wisely elect
To live in the light of to-day.
The things that are past did very well once;
To-day they are rusty and stale.
That trouble you had with your fellow man
Did you struggle in vain and fail!
What of it, indeed?
There is all the more need
That YOU start on different trail.
Don't take to the woods whatever you do.
Just look right ahead there's fortune for you
In keeping a well-trimmed sail.
So cramped can we be in our mental states,
So burdened with might-have-beens,
That life will become woeful waste
For its many outs and ins.
But stop and reflect
You will never be wrecked
Rv YOUR own OF another's sins,
If the past you will keep in it's proper place
And meet what is yours with candid face
IT'S the man of to-day who wins.
