WHY WOMEN MARRY.

The college woman, or the educated
woman, does not fail to marry because
of any abnormality. but because she is
too normal We yearn for and demand
another atmosphere. When the day Is
done, and the truce of darkness fails
over the earth. and we shea.he our
weapons and furl our batt1ehags. We
long for peace and pleasure. We have
agonized, We have made agony one of
our changes of garments; and we do
not wish to have the mental struggle
and attri.ion carried into the home. 1t
is not necessary that the educated wo-
man should fail in these things-if
truly educated, she would not so fall
She could give US counsel and support
in the warfare of life, but she could
not give us-what we most need-the
love and charm that would lure US for
some hours of happiness from these
sordid markel-places and the stained
arenas of our daily strife. The reason
Why certain women 90 not marry-to
say it bluntly-is that they do not
know why men marry-they do not
know their own powers of charm. and
| what it is in them that appeals to and
cxalts man-Columbia IS. CD State

DISADVANTAGE OF GOVERN

Is 1t an enviab1e thing for a young

tarily retiring from the position of as

commerce and labor. after an incum-

There are advantages as well as dis

he can adjust his expenditures to his

hacks as well as delights. He is not
obliged to overwork, but he runs the
risk of degenerating into a mere piece

USE OF AUTOMOBILES.

1t is certain that with the rapidly
expanding use of the automobile there
will be a decrease in the use of horses
for large variety of purposes. This
will mean a decrease in the number
of stables where horses are kept. at

is estimated that with an average of
five persons to the family. one family
in every forty will have an automo-

will be an automobile to every 200 of
the entire population of the country.

Price of Chickens Sets
Ne1D Record for Season

Prospect for the fall and winter
poultry market is getting gloomier
from the consumers point Of view.
Scarcity OF fowls, especially chickens
and hens. and high prices, as a result,
seem to be the condition the market
is fast resolving itself into.
Hens sold at 16 cents a pound,
wholesale, today, which established a
new record for the high price of that
class of fowls at this time Of the year.
The price is at least 4 cents higher
than Il, was in September q year ago.
Unfortunately. conditions do not give
any indication Of improving. but point
TO the price becoming constantly
higher as the fall and winter prog
resses.
A month ago predictions were freely
made on the market that spring
chickens in September would become
more plentiful and. therefore, would
become cheaper. On the contrary,
shipments OF fTyers, instead OF show
ing Improvement, are recording a
steady reduction in supply. There is
now little hope, according TO dealers,
of the wholesale price falling below
is cents. Last year. at this time,
chickens seldom brought as high as Is
cents.
II is still too early TO size up the
probable turkey market, but it IS gen.
orally conceded that the price of hens
as compared with turkeys will be pro-
pOrtiOnally much higher this fall and
winter than last. With this as the
case, the consumption OF turkeys is
expected TO be on more general
scale.
OF course. with hens scarce. eggs
will be also. and the highest egg mar
ket experienced in years is already
practically assured Unless other
kinds Of meat are as plentiful and as
cheap as last year the housewife from
now on until spring will find the sup
plying Of her table both difficult and
expensive. Dealers themselves are
the least optimistic over the prospect
for normal markets in the egg and
poultry lines.
