TO PUZZLED LOVERS =.

~ Z OLLLGO LIZ v GNS
I am young and fairly good
looking. Have just met a man
whom I-could love, but he did not
pay any attention to me. How
can l attract him? 1t has been
said that girls who run after men
are not liked by them, but I.,no-
tice that the girls who do are the
ones who have the best times.
Please advise.-T. R. w.
Perhaps they have the best
times, but are they the ones who
are chosen as wives? When girls
meet men whom they like, they
always encourage them = con-
sciously or unconsciously. But as
for running after men"-I can
not believe the men like that.
Why not encourage this man by
showing him that you like him?
That's all you can do, except to
just be the kind of a natural,
sweet and wholesome girl that no
man can help but admire.

your problem, I think. If the
young man is doing it for spite
the best way to get even with him
is to turn your attention to some
one else. In any event, this would
be a much better policy than stay
ing at home and being gloomy.
Perhaps he is under the impress
sion that you care for him and
thinks he may do as he pleases.
By all means keep up your pluck.
Find interest elsewhere.
If he really cares for you he
will come back to you sooner of
later. If he doesn't it is as we'll

WANT MORE MONEY
 FOR SWAMP LANDS
Senator Percy Introduces Bill Look ing to Extensive Reclama-
 tion Work

Washington. April s-(SpecaL)- )-Sena- tor Percy has introduced in the Senate a proposed amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill which is now under consideration by the Senate committee, providing for an appropriation of s25o,cO0 fors the investigation and survey by the department engineers of the overfiowed and swamp lands of which there are s0.- O0o00o acres in the United States, 2i,o0o,ooo acres being located in the Mississippi valley This item Tn the bill as it passed the House provides an appropriation of s96 zoo, which Is considered to be entirely inadequate to carry on the work.
 For several years there has been an in- creased demand for the government sur veys from the districts in states where these lands are located. but Congress has failed to provide the department with means anywhere near sufficient to take care of it's share of the work. Each year tlf department finds itself unable to cooperate with the drainage surveys that are contemplated on account of lack of money. As result the whole scheme of drainage has been suffering severely. and it is the purpose of the southern mem bers of Congress to make effort this session to have this important item in the agricultural bill treated fairly.

prehensive statistical investigation Of the mileage and cost of public roads in the United States has recently been complet- ed by the office of public roads, United States department of agriculture. This document reveals many interesting facts. Thus, apparently. il is not because of her small size that Rhode Island is able to boast of 49 t4 per cent of improved roads, for Delaware, with an area of 205O square miles, has only 6. 22 per cent of improved roads. On the other hand, Massachusetts with an area of S515 square miles has 49 per cent of her roads improved, or very nearly the same percentage as Rhode Island The size of the state therefore, seems to have little or no effect on the percentage of improved roads.
 The investigations further show that there are 2.199645 miles of public roads in continental United States. Of this vast mileage, only 19O,f6 or S.66 per cent, are classed as improved.
 As stated above, Rhode Island leads with 4914 per cent of improved roads, while Massachusetts is second with 49 per cent Indiana follows with 36.7 per cent Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey, Kentucky, Vermont and California follow in q de- scending order, the latter having, 17.s7 per cent of improved roads. The states of Wisconsin, New York, Maryland, Utah, Tennessee. South Carolina, Maine and Michigan range in the order given from Is to 10 per cent

 Through the columns of your paper l desire to thank our many friends for their kind assurances of confidence and sympathy, and for their increased ef- forts for us and We hasten to assure them that their confidence has not been misplaced. In my 9 years of service in the Salvation Army I have been cursed, stoned and threatened-I have endured persecution through petty jeaousies of other organizatons-I have been threat ened with all kinds of exposures that never materialized, but the Lord has never folsaken me.
 Today I am here in this city by His grace and I am trying to do unto others, as 1 would have others do unto me Let me say to our friends that at the proper time, we will make our statement, and 1t will be full and complete, and then friends and foes will know not only our position, but will have the facts on which to draw correct conclusions.
 We ask that the public, and particularly our friends, not to be influenced by misrep- resentatfons, mis-statements or insinua- tions, and assure them that their conh- dence will not have been misplaced. Yours for the betterment of the world.

brooded over their supposed wrongs

their scheme to a test. That they
could have succeeded but for outside

Mr.. Wyer and Mr. Nommer had
built an electric vibrator, stronger
and more sensitive than any | have

1T is well known fact that
small dog trotting over the largest
bridge will set in motion vibrations

perfectly attuned to the movements

the bridge off its foundations. Soldiers

a piano and a guitar in the same room.
Some one sits down at the piano and
the music happen to fall into harmony
with the natural vibration of the in

be heard emanating therefrom. The
whole thing centers around the idea
of harmony of vibrations and scientifi-
rally placed energy.
'Wyer and MOmmer had gone far

They had figured out the natural
movement of. the earth and had at
tuned their vibratOrs so that instantly

Ever since the hogs of the village

After several years of hard labor, a
great expenditure of time and money
and much burning of the midnight

this economic idea of converting these
beautiful gardens into a hippOpOtami
farm.
There was only one hindrance-
there was no tanner in the University
OF these wonderful creatures of flesh
and blood, and the University was
too short of coin of the realm to hire
a professional. There was one man in
