Beatrice Fairfax Declares:
II Woman Proposes, She Must Ac
sumo Mans Obligations.

AZEL BELLE writes. 7 had cor
responded with young man for
one year. and then he asked me
to keep company and Z said yes. Later
we broke off because Of 2 difference in
religion. Now we have been writing
again for over a year. and I love him
dearly, and know we VIII get along.
DO you think I ought 10 write and
tell him I love him because it is leap

I want Hazel Belle to cut out this
letter she has written me and put il
where she viii see it at least once q

esting-it viii be educational
Z took my little troubles too seri-
OuSly in those days" she viii say; per

For youth rarely dies broken hearted.
Youth has a recuperative power that is

Foolish Step.
Hazel Belle will not ask this man to
marry her. I am sure she will do moth
she may. and other girls every day ask
the same question. and young men
every day write that girls really pro-
pose. let US make believe" that Hazel
Belle did the proposing and that the
young man accepted
Having usurped a mans privilege in
proposing, she must in honor bound
enact the part assigned to the man in
the cOurtship- She must invite her be-
loved to entertainments. escort him to
theaters or church, see him safely home,
buy him an occasional box of cigars
put her small savings into an engage
ment ring and deny herself many
things that she may make the period
of their engagement so pleasant he VIII
look at To other girl
She must be the one who buys the
furniture for the little nest TO which
she proposes taking him. and when she
has him snugly installed as her hus-
band, she goes out and earns the living
Her Obligations.
She cannot fall short in a single OBJ
legation that custom has given to the
men. if she takes to herself mans time
hOnOred privilege of proposing. She
ceases to be maidenly when she asks a
man to be her husband; she must for
get she is a woman in the days that
follow
Could YOU DO 1t, Hazel Belle? Could
you so far forget the respect YOU owe
YOURSELF
I agree that you dearly love this
man. I do not attempt to make light
of your sorrow. 1 know that no woman
with a heart in her breast ever reached
mature years without having her heart
broken many. many times, and every
time it was broken she knew she would
die OF il.
1 knew you are sincere with all the
sincerity Of your years, and feel sure
that if the man proposes to You, you
will make him a dear little wife
But you can never become that If
Won do the proposing.
Now. don't say, with tear-stained
eyes, that there viii never he another
time and that YOU will die broken
hearted unless you marry this man You
will not die broken-hearted, and there
viii be many more.

MAY EMPLOY HAY
INSPECTOR HERE

An inspector of hay weights and
grades may be employed by the hay
growers of the lower MesiIIa and FL
PasO valley and stationed in Ell Paso.
to make an official inspection of all
the hay shipped out of here. The hay
growers Of both valleys are planning
to cooperate in order to have the in
spectOr stationed here
The reason for the new move in the
hay market is because Of the imDOsi-
ton of east Texas and Louisiana hay
buyers. who refuse to accept the
weight and grade of the hay after il is
shipped The hay is purchased and
shipped, but when it is received the
buyers claim that it is inferior in quail
ity or short in weight and refuse to
pay the grower for it. The result is
that he must either reship his hay st
an additional expense OF accept any
thing the buyer offers.
By having an official inspector here
the buyer viii have to accept his
weights and gradings or be eliminated
from the local field. The matter is TO
be brought to the attention of the
chamber of commerce at its next meet
ing.

One legislature makes a law for the

WILSON'S ANNUAL REPORTS
IS AeRICUl TuRAL EYE OPENER

After sixteen years, = record Of
service in the cabinet. Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson submitted to
President Taft the last annual re-
port he will make as head Of the
United States department of agri-
culture. The report il more than =
review of the past years work; it
contains summary Of the agricul
tural advance Of the country during
the venerable secretary's term of
public service.
The record Of sixteen years has
been written" he says. 1T begins
with yearly farm production OF
$4.000.OO0.O00 and ends with $9.-
632,0OO,O00. Sixteen years ago the
farmer was joke of the caricatur-
tst; now he il like the stone that
was rejected by the builder and has
become the head stone of the
corner" The tillers of the soil
were burdened with debts" he adds,
"but prosperity followed and grew
with unexampled speed. Begin
nings have been made in a produc-
tion per acre increasing faster than
the natural increase of population.
There has been an uplift of agricul-
ture and of country life.
During the past sixteen years
the farmer has steadily increased
the wealth production year by year.
with the exception of 1911. During
the sixteen years the farmers
wealth production increased 141 per
cent.
Most productive of all agricul-
tural years In the country has been
1912. The earth has produced its
greatest annual dividend. The sun
and rain and the fertility of the
soil needed not the human contro-
versies, but kept on working in CO.
operation with the farmers efforts
to utilize them. The prices at the
farm are generally profitable and
will continue the prosperity that
farmers have enjoyed in recent
years. The total production OF farm
wealth 10 the highest yet reached
by half billion dollars. The grand
total for 1912 is estimated to be
S,532,OO0,000. This II moro than
twice the value Of the farm wealth
in 1890"
More than $105, ,OO0,O 100000 is
the grand total of farm wealth pro-
duction. the report says, during the
past sixteen years, an amount equal
to about three-quarters Of tho pres
ent national wealth.
Tho most effective move toward
reduced cost OF living IL the produc-
tion Of greater crops, says the secre-
tary. and this move he declares IL
due to the work Of the department
Of agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations and to the help Of the
press In publishing every movement
to help the farmers. The nation,
he adds. forgets its farmers in the
general scheme Of education Of
past years and few philanthropists
