PREPARATIONS: or
FOR, SPRING W! WORK N k
RENTERS FOR DESIRABLE FARMS
ARE IN DEMAND-DlFFicULT
TO SECURE GOOD
MEN. ''

With the approach of spring, demand
for renters for many Ramsey county
farms has increased very materially.
The proposition of getting desirable
tenants for land has been a hard one
in this section, as well as in all parts
of the state, and this year promises
to be no exception to the rule. A
number of good farms have been rel Mt
ed during the past month and many
tenants moved in to prepare for spring
work. However there are still many
desirable farms in the vicinity, which
owners prefer to rent if the proper
parties can be found to take charge OF
them. 90 n
The general opinion of land owners
seems to be that if a man is good
enough to rent land properly, he soon
buys land here and becomes a prop.
erty owner himself. Thus the class of
desirable tenants is continually being
weeded out. There is no question but
what greater returns are to be. had
from the land where the owner farms
it himself Personal attention. and
care in keeping a place up properly
soon show results. !. Among the most
successful examples Of this the county
can offer at the present time is the
case Of y. S. Kirk, who recently left
/ the city for his big Odessa farm,
where the work OF preparation for
spring work is already under way. Mr..
Kirk, in g few years has brought this
big farm he owns up to a splendid
standard and has become one OF the
most successful stock raisers in the
entire section His farm on the shores
of the lake is an ideal stock and grain

rocks were higher and sleeper and the

This is the last effort of the noun

hour we shall reach the prairie and soon
afterwards We shall see Angelo station,

The young man said nothing lie

Now and then the rocks forced them

he aimed. Little by little the old mans
resistance grew weaker. His arms fell
down. His fingers opened and closed, his

The younger man seized the bag, open

Why Should She Always BE a Martyr.
Why Is it that just because a woman

into the world she is supposed to be a

THE AVENGER
By Thomas KRAG

Two men come walking through the
burning sands of Death valley.
One of them is young and wesrs a
blue serge suit, evidently made by a
good tailor, but now it looks threadbare
and soiled. His face wears an EXPIRES
sion of slyness and holiness, but he is
Guite a good looking fellow, in spite OF
this. You would take him to be one
of the young loafers of the big cities
who charm the girls of the street and rob
strangers in a game with fixed cards.
The other man forms strange con-
trast TO his companion. Prematurely
old, it would be difficult to guess his
age. He might be anything between sc
and 20. He looks rather worn out than
old. His gatlnt muscular limbs are more
sunburned than the brown sands and
Mithered grass of the desert, and with
his one bony hand he clutched a leather
bag which is strapped to his belt.
Yes he said after a long silence

about ten days now, and were still far
from being really settled"
They Secure "a Treasure,
At first they had taken their meals
out, but now maid was installed in
the little kitchen. Anna was a capable
good natured German girl who at once
took a real liking" for Helen and a
hearty interest in the welfare of the
young pair
Just how fortunate they had been in
securing the services Of Anna Helen
did not realize until they lost her some
time later. And that many things, even
in their unsettled state, ran smoother
under Annals management than they
would later on was something else she
could not know.
Most Of the days Helen spent in the
shops buying curtains. bed and table
linen and the many small housefur-
nishings. Only the furniture and rugs
and a few essentials had been bought
before they moved in, for Helen had
thought the other things could be Sc
lected to better advantage afterward.
And now some of the happiest days
of her marriage, though that too she
did not know, were spent in buying
these things. Shopping is an unfailing
source of pleasure to all women at
ing of the furnishings of her new home
is a joy supreme,
His Judgment.
Several times, when the selection of
something important like the dining
room curtains was involved she would
ask Warren TO leave the office a little
early and meet her at a certain shop
on his way home.
Although he had a strong and deep
seated aversion to all large shops and
to department stores in particular,
these appeals to his judgment were
hattering, and he usually complied.
And so. looking forward and arrang
ing for their future comfort and hap
piness-the first few weeks In their
new home passed very pleasantly.
And Helen, naturally an optimist.
tried to forget the disappointments
and establishments Of their honey
moon-and told herself hopefully that
from now on they would be very
happy.

" HE honeymoon was over ana
Helen knew in her heart that
- she was glad. Like most emo
ti0nal women she was full of senn-
ment and romance, and every harsh,
impatient word he had spoken had hurt
her more keenly because il was the1f
honeymoon.
She had had all young girls
dreams of the idealistic beauty and
tenderness of the honeymoon And that
dream had been daily shattered. She
had known that with most married
people there came in time slight disa-
greements and discords (although she
had felt they could never come to War
rem and herr But that there should
be dissensions and Quarrels all through
the honeymoon was a pitiable revela-
ton.
But now, like the spider which pa
tiently reweaves every break that Is
made in it's web. so Helen began to pick
up the torn threads of her romance
and weave them anew.
Their real honeymoon, she told her
self hopefully. would begin when they
were finally settled in their new home.
After all, that was where their life
together really began And they would
find there the peace and harmony and
happiness that he'd eluded them on
the bridal trip and during the week
with his people.
Beginning Home Life.
Their home life. All her hopes and
dreams were now centred upon that
And for a time at least she was not to
be disappointed. There is nothing that
brings people so near together as
common active interest. And in the
work of fitting up and arranging their
new home they both found much whole
some activity and a great deal of
pleasure.
The household machinery did not run
smooth, but, of course, that was not to
be expected in the beginning. And
the charm of the novelty was still
upon them. So they laughed over their
mishaps, confident that everything
would run like clockwork when they
were really settled That was a
phrase they both used very often Ev-
cry mistake and discomfort would be
avoided when they were really set
tied"
They did not know that the happiest
periods of our lives are those in which
We are preparing for some happiness
in which we are getting ready to
live"
