In building operations throughout the

one Of the first to feel the effects.

was at high tide. There have been no
ticeable gains in other directions. but

De veritable boom, owing to the de-
hand for increased accommodations.

The frequent assertion that the soils
of the United States are airing out
II not conceded by Prof. Milton Whit

statistics of yield since 1867 are care

than formerly. This is undoubtedly
due to better and more intelligent cul-
Hvation. more and better systems of
rotation Of crops and in later years
to the intelligent use of fertilizers

WHEN SHOULD GIRLS MARRY?

A grandmother has undertaken to
answer the question in the headline
in a magazine article. Having had ex-
perience, she thinks she knows what
she is talking about 1t is her opinion
that no girl should marry before she
is Is years old. There never has been
and never can be any fixed rule for
the mating of human beings. Ages
ago parents were the sole arbiters Of
the marital destinies of their daugh-
tiers. They gave in wedlock when and
where and to whom they pleased. and
the daughters had nothing to do with
thu bargain. The matter is one ip
which there is pretty nearly indepen.
dence of thought and action on the
part of American girls. Parents may
try as they will to shape their daugh
ters' love affairs to conform to their
own ideas. but 1t is rare case in which
they succeed-and even then success
on the part of the parents is not a
guarantee of the girls happiness. It
has been estimated that a woman's
chances of marriage begin to diminish
at the twenty-fourth year and decline
rapidly to the thirtieth year. when
they have almost disappeared. The
period of greatest expectation is from
19 to %. 1t is between these periods
that the majority of women must
make up their minds. and they do it
from the dictates of the heart oftener
than from any other consideration.

Why viii so many girls who are engaged
to be married insist that they cannot give
up the attentions of their men acquaint-
ances?
Girls, this is all wrong. You have abb
solutely no right to permit your former
male acquaintance to call upon you after
you have announced your engagement. Of
course, exceptions might be made in the
case of an old and intimate friend, but
under such circumstances it would be best
to receive him only when your iance or a
