A Question of Marriage Proposal.


Replying to the question, Should
women propose marriage? a certain
great man says:
why. you are centuries too late in
asking that question. Women have
always proposed and always will pro-
pose.
THE most splendid thing on earth Is
a good woman, and when, with all her
attractiveness. she makes up her mind
that 1t would be well for her to be the
wife of some good man. and that it
would be equally we'll for him, she cap
lures him as easily as n regiment cap
lures one corporal. 1t does not make
any difference whether her tongue pro-
poses or not. Her eyes propose. her
smile proposes, her whole beamine ma
Sure proposes.
Until a man gets from a woman \
proposition of that kind he had better
not make proposition of his own, I'M
less he wants to be made to feel ridicu-
Ious all his lifetime"

No Limit Far Cash Entry Acres

Springfield, Mo-, July 29.-"There
Is no limit to the amount Of land q
man may take up by cash entry in
Missouri, exceps the size Of his bank
ROLL" said c. N. Vanhosen, register
Of the local United States land Office.
He made this explanation In reply to
the comment occasioned by the cash
entry Of 10,035 acres Of government
land in fancy county two days ago
by Henry A. Kramer, a land dealer
from Chicago.
1.-THE 100 acre limit talked about
applies to homesteads, but not to
cash entries" said Mr.. Vanhosen.
"a homestesder cannot take up more
than 100 acres, but man can take
up by cash entry all he wants TO-"
The laws governing government
land differ In almost every state in
the union. Missouri is the only state
where land may be taken up by cash
entry.

ted within q few hours Of the shoot

Sure Death to Moths.
Suburban Life.

Suburban Life.
Contrary to the general belief, CAM
phor, naphthalene and tobacco will
not kill clothes moths. They act
merely as repellants; where they are
used the moths will not depositeggs.
II the eggs are already laid or II the
young have Matched, substances OF
this nature will have no effect.
The easiest way to rid clothes OF
moths is to give them a thorough
brushing once week and then ex-
pose them to air and sunshine.
Where they are to be packed away,
Immigration with carbon bisulphide
Is the surest method.
The garments are put In tight
trunk, with moth marbles. Then q
saucer is placed on top Of the pile
with four or five tablespoonful OF
liquid carbon bisulphide In 1t, easily
obtained at all druggists. The lid Is
closed and the trunk left undisturb.
ed until clothes are wanted.
The bisulphide evaporates, and be-
Ing heavier than all, 1T settles through
the garments. 1t Is deadly to insect
life and will destroy tin all stages.
No odor will remain...in the clothes
after airing them few moments, so
that they can be used as soon a.
they are taken out. The moth
marbles prevent other females from
