Her particular David had always been
the most devoted husband, until lately,
when he found his home occupied by a
mother-in-law, sister-in-law and various
other relations Of his wife. Dora had
weakly allowed this invasion of her home.
and her kind heart could not bear the
idea of saying mo- to any Of her kin.
The consequence was that her husbands 8
home no longer belonged to him, and be-
ing very uncomfortable place he avoided
1t as much as possible and Dora looked
out Of the window and watched for him.
until an older woman of her own kind
came and pointed out her failings.

Dora. whether 1t is worth while sacri-
ficing perfectly good husband to the
whim Of your own family, You chose him
and 1t is up to you to stick to him. You
have virtually given his house away.
His wlfe's time no longer belongs to him,
so, naturally, he doesn't come back. II
you prefer the others, go with them, but
this is house divided, which cannot
stand, and you will be the loser"
And little Dora gathered up her courage
and gave formal notice to her relatives
that the house was David's, and he would
have to come first. They left In high
dudgeon, but happiness and David re-
turned.

SWAT THE CHINCH BUG.

Crops lying close to wheat fields
which are infested with chinch bugs
may be protected by running q mar.
row strip Of common powdered lime
around the field, farmers who are
now using the plan successfully. say
In this chfnch bug remedy, care
must be used to have no broken
or disconnected places in the istriT
of lime and, for this reason, 1t ID
necessary to prepare perfectly
smooth strip Of ground around the
field which win be free from clods
or cracks.
One farmer says that after wheat
has been harvested he has watched
millions Of bugs swarm out to hunt
new quarters in adjoining corn
fields and enconntering the protect
ing strip Of lime, would turn back
and finally die rather than venture
over the lime.

DENVER TOURISTS APPRE-
CIATE ABILENE's COURTESY

Editor Reflector: wish to take
this opportunity to again thank you
for the many courtesies which you
and your associates extended to our
good roads auto tour party while in
your city.
We reached Denver according to
our schedule on the evening Of July
18th with many pleasant recollec-
tions Of the trip.
The great success which this tour
proved to be was largely due to the
splendid manner in which our party
was received on the entire route, and
the enthusiasm that prevailed for
good roads; and especially was the
success greatly augmented on account
or the assistance we received en-
route, and the splendid manner in
which the party was entertained
II is In no small degree that our
organization appreciates the assist
ance and the entertainment that you
gave our party, and we only hope
that at some time we may have the
opportunity Of reciprocating.
This tour will unQuestionably be
the means Of giving q great impetus
to the good roads movement in Col
orado and the example Of what can
be accomplished along this line
which we received while travelling

CHINCH BUGS AND DRY
WEATHER WORRY FARMERS.

The farmers OF southwest Dickin.
SON are considerably worried over
their crops and the prospects for feed
for their stock next winter. That
section Of the county did not receive
the soaking rains that we're general
over the rest OF the county and the
ground Is very dry. The chinch bugs
are thick and are badly damaging
the corn. The prairie hay Is only
about six inches high. not much al
falfa is raised in that section and
with the prospects Of good corn
crop doubtful the farmers will not
have enough feed to keep their
stock through the winter, A rain
within a week would probably in
sure a fair corn crop-but eondi-
lions in southwest Dickinson look
very unfavorable at present.
