Wife's Diary Tells Why Women
Start Affairs With Married Men.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Why women
attempt to steal husbands of other
women is discussed in a naive man
ner in a diary which Mrs. Alice E.
Lawrence says she kept. 1t is to be
part of the evidence in the suit she
has filed for separate maintenance
against George r. Lawrence.
She wrote in the diary on March 8,
1910. about her husbands alleged in
fatuation for Louise Huber:
"No woman should ever accept at
tentions from a married man. She
has allowed her love of conquest to
control her actions instead of her
knowledge Of right and wrong.
"She may think he is rich, for he
has told her so. No woman would
take him from his wife and children
for other than mercenary reasons"
Under the same date Mrs. Law
renee put it that her husband is due
for an awakening as to the wiles of
woman. when he learns his 'af-
finity' gushes over others he will
realize what a donkey he has BEEN

COST MORE THAN EXPECTED.
Expense of Recent Census Will
Amount to About $4,000, ,OOO-Wiu
Exceed Appropriation.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The census
OF 1917 is going to cost about Is
cents per capita-that u.s. the total
expense of the 18th census will cost
between s14,O00,OOO and $4,000. 600.
AS there are about 100000 people
in the country, this will mean about
15 cents per head.
This is about $4,000, 900 more than
congress has appropriated for the
service-$12,000,000. The remainder
of the cost of taking the census will
be paid for by deficiency" appro-
priation. On July / the balance of
the appropriation on hand was S.
111,617.18. There is considerable less
now. All but about 5000 enumerators
have been paid off. and most Of this
has been done since July 1. They are
being paid as fast as the vouchers
can be put through. Nearly $4,000
600 has been paid out to enumerators.
The pay roll at the census Office i'm
Washington is nearly 100000
month, or pretty close of s2,50O,000
per year. Some time ago there was
considerable dissatisfaction among
some of the clerks because Director
Durand placed them on a :'piece
work" basis with some new machines.
The machine is a very complicated
one in its workings, though it is easy
to manipulate. The clerks complained
that their unfamiliarity with it made
it impossible for them to make a liv-
ing wage. Now, however, since they
have become accustomed to the ma
chimes, and are better able to operate
them they make in some instances
alomst twice as much as they would
be making at this time had they con-
tinued on the fiat salary basis. Some
of the women who work the machines
earn as high as Sc a day.

MIR. ELLIOTT LECTURES.
Gave Interesting Talk on Cover Crops
To Farmers at The Court House
This Morning.

From The Daily Item, August 10.
Mr.. w. r. Elliott, of Winnsboro,
farm demonstrator for Fairfield coun-
ty, gave an interesting talk to the
farmers at the Court House this
morning which, while not largely at
tended owing to a mistaken impress
sion as to the time at which Mr..
Elliott would be here was greatly
enjoyed by the few present; so much
so, in fact that they have induced
him to remain in the city and de-
liver another similar lecture, which
will take place promptly at ten
o'clock tomorrow. Mr.. Elliott being
compelled to leave on the 1920 train
tomorrow morning.
In his lecture this morning Mr..
Elliott explained how to plant and
cultivate cover crops for grazing pur-
poses, advising the farmers to plant
barley, crimson clover, rye, and al
falfa for this purpose.
He stated that these winter crops
improve the soil, and add fertility to
the land.
Mr. Elliott will be driven out into
the country this afternoon to see
several farms, and advise about the
planting of winter crops on them.

GIVES SECOND LECTURE.
Talk To The Farmers This Morn
ing.

Mr.. w. r. Elliott, farm demonstra-
tor for Fairfield county, who lectured
at the court house Friday morning,
gave a second interesting talk to the
farmers Saturday, having been in
duced to remain for this purpose
on account of the small crowd in at
tendance Friday.
There was far from being a large
crowd present again this morning,
but what few were there listened to
what Mr.. Elliott had to say with at
tention, and they interspersed his re-
marks with many questions, which
showed their interest in his lecture.
AS on yesterday, he talked for the
benefits to the land and the adavnta-
ges derived from planting cover crops
for winter grazing purposes, and
strongly advised the farmers to cul-
tivate these crops.
In reply to a question as to whether
Alfalfa could be successfully culti-
waited in this country, Mr.. Elliott
said that he saw no reason why sue
cessful crops should not be made
here, as in Fairfield county, the far
mers were cultivating it successfully.
and that he is informed that in this
county (Fairfield), there is one al
falfa field 62 years old, which only
requires a little extra seeding every
once in a while.
Mr.. Elliott, also, strongly advised
inoculating with nitrogen, and 1t ts
reported that in this county expert
ments with it have been made, and
that they show that inoculating with
this nitrogen, which can be got from
the government or purchased from
manufacturers, greatly aids the crops
as we'll as enriches the land.

THE KICKER

We hope to go to the realms above
when we lie down to die; we hope the
choirs all clad i'll white will greet my
wandering eye; we know that well
be filed with joy in regions free from
care, for angels tell me in my sleep
there are no kickers there. Though
rugged be the Jasper pave, no soul
shall more complain, though sunlight
for rain, though crowns be half a size
too small, no seraph tear their hair,
and all is joy above because there are
no kickers there. Their music may be
out of tune, no one will hold his ears;
the robe may not be tailor made,
there'H be no means and tears; the
sandals may be often worn, none ask IA
better pair; for glory to the Lord of
Hosts, there are no lickers there. And
when the Heavenly council calls for
paving on the street, the man who gets
the contract may work onward swift
and fleet; no spirit will irjunctions
bring, nor cranlSs nor croakers swear
the realms above are free from chumps
there are no kickers there. Then
take me from this vale Of tears where
cranks come to the front, where men
who never work or toll still lie around
aud grunt; we long to wear celestial
robes and climb the golden stair; for
well we know that in those lands,
there are no kickers there.
