make some pocket money by doing
the cooking for these same college
boys and other helpers" If she has
studied the culinary art, here is a good
place to practice it, even though she
does not have much chance to concoct
fancy dishes. There are besides many
opportunities for little harmless fir
tation after the evening meal is over
and the dishes are washed.
Is it any wonder then that many a
romance is lived on the Kansas wheat
fields and that the end of the season
many marriages are the result? If
these young people have learned by
their brief experience that life in the
country is the best, the most independ-
ent, the most satisfactory of all, it will
serve to people our western farms with
the very best of agricultural material
and furnish examples which many 9th
