to acknowledge the superior charms of
the other woman. eff I cannot hold
you against all women, then I do not
want you," is the right thought. If
you think some other woman Is at
tracing your husband, wake up and
beat her at her own game. Do not sit
idly in the corner and complain.
A woman who is nervous does not
usually realize what Is the cause of
her condition. When excitable and ir-
ritable and suffering from a nervous
headache, she takes various remedies
to deaden the symptoms instead Of
looking the matter squarely in the
face and going after the cause. Many
women need a hobby TO take up their
spare time. If their minds were &C.
cupied and their bodies kept in a good
condition by proper care, they would
soon gain control of their nerves.

shaped the original thoughtless SEN
tence into an ugly sting.
These nervous women are the ones
who are continually tormented with
the demon of jealousy. If one of them
should suddenly meet her husband on
the street walking with another wo-
man, what a curtain lecture he re-.
ceives that evening; or if not that, he
finds his wife wearing the air of one
who considers herself much abused.
The real facts of the case may be
that her husband met the other wo-
man quite accidently and, as they
were going in the same direction. he
could not avoid walking with her with
out being positively rude. In this age
men must of necessity have business
transactions with women. 1t is a
common occurrence for two men to
lunch together in order to have a
chance to talk over some important
business matter without fear of inter.
ruption. There is no reason why a
man and woman might not do the
same, and yet how impossible it would
be to convince the jealous woman that
this was the case. To be jealous is

Nervousness--A Lack of Control

How often we meet women who
complain of being nervous. What they
really mean Is that they have not con-
troll of their nerves, but let them run
away. A woman may be of nervous
temperament and yet have such good
control of her nerves that she never
complains of being nervous.
This lack of nerve control mani
tests itself in various ways. Sometimes
It Is only tendency to cry at trivial
things or an inclination to dependency
to aave "the blues" or to worry
over fsal or fancied sights. Many
women waste so much time thinking
over things that are past and gone. A
visit with friend loses its Joy In the
Rfterthought, for this victim of the
nerves lives over again every moment
Of the visit. She recalls everything
that has been said and wonders If a
different meaning was meant. Things
that were said an joke and original
Iy taken that way are now brought up
for criticism and pondered over until
the woman convinces herself of the
presence of hidden meaning. She is
not satisfied until she has bent and

An odd circumstance in connection with this
phase of the crusade for better methods of
handling the corn crop was the discovery by
Uncle Sans investigators that corn growers
as a class are very conservative, altogether
too conservative, indeed, for their own good.
The implements and methods employed in
Iowa are entirely different from those Of Con-
necticut and the latter, in turn are dissimilar
to those in use in Georgia. No section has a
monopoly of all the good things in methods
and machinery and in many instances a prac-
tice in vogue in one locality could be profit
ably used in another district which had remained
in ignorance of it. All this bids fair to be
changed. however, under the present awaken

visits to other corn-producing states than their
own and the result is likely to be general
discarding of poor and adopting of improved
methods.

ouency of cultivation are al, corn problems
that are being solved along dependable scien-
tific lines after a century or more OF discus
sion and dispute. Meanwhile the improvement
of corn cultivating and harvesting machinery
has worked wonders in bringing about the
new era in the corn fields. Mechanical corn
harvesters have developed more slowly than
the machines for wheat and other cereals, at
tempts to solve the problem Of mechanically
handling the corn crop dating from 1920,
whereas it was not until 1881 that Cyrus Nc
Cormick made the first reaping machine.
Despite the fact that there was almost con-
tinuous experiment in the sphere of corn har-
vesting machinery from the date above men,
toned it was not until 1892 that success crowned
the efforts of the inventors The principle in
corn harvesters and binders which was destined
to prevail appeared in the year mentioned, the
invention of an Illinois man. In it's element

have several times mentioned the
fact that the Aroostook potato grow
ers of Maine were attempting to form
an association to aid them in grow
ing and handling their potatoes and
in placing them upon the markets
more advantageously. This associa-
tion has now been formed with its
plans definitely outlined, and is now
ready for business, says writer In
the New England Homestead. Through
its methods, the consumer may profit,
as well as the grower.
This association is the result of the
united efforts of the two Pomona
oranges in the county, through a
joint committee which began its work
early in April. The objects of the as
sociation are to adopt a more careful
system of handling and grading, har-
vesting and shipping; to acquire new
and better markets by having agents
in different consuming, or shipping
centers, so as to keep posted on con-
ditions and requirements; to devise
better and more economic methods of
marketing, thus making a saving to
the producer without increasing the
cost to the consumer. There are sew
eral other lines of bushes the asso-
citation expects to take up later, but
there is feeling among the promo
ters, that 1t is best to make haste
slowly along these lines.
The association is capitalized for
100000, divided into 10000 shares of
five dollars each. AS 1t Is a grange
movement the stock is to be sold only
to members of the order, or to such
oranges as may elect to become stock.
holders. The plan is to establish a
shipping station at every place in the
county where 60 shares Of stock are
held, with not less than 20 members
At smaller stations and at sidings,
shipments will be made through the
general management.
All shipments are to be inspected
by competent inspectors employed by
the association, and none will be al.
lowed to leave the county that are
not fully up to the guarantee. 1t is
expected that the handling Of seed
stock may form quite part of the
business of the association and an at
tempt will be made to so conduct
this branch of the work as to insure
to each purchaser absolute certainty
that he receives the variety he de,
sired and that the stock is good Of
