Advice to the Lovelorn
HE HAS THAT PRIVILEGE.
By Beatrice Eai,5ax


Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am keeping company with a
young man two years my senior
and ] love him very much. He told
me he loved me, too. But caught
him with another girl. VIII you
kindly advise me what to do?
A. G. X
I do not like that word caught" It
implies doubt, suspicion, jealousy, nag
ming, lack of faith and fairness, and
spirit of ownership that any man of
spirit will resent.
You are not engaged. He has the
right to go with another girl You
have the right to go with another
man. Do not make a prisoner of him
because he loves you, and do not make
tyrant of yourself
If you want him. to ignore other
women, give him to understand tia;
you don't care how many he goes with
1T WOULD BE PROPER.
Dear Miss Fairfax
Is it proper for a man meeting
young lady socially number
of times, to ask If he may call. or
must he wait until she invites him?
INPATIENT
Ask If you may call, and if you make
yourself agreeable she will ask you
to call again

SHORTAGE
49,
Of Ohio Wheat And Other
Crops Quite Serious

Columbus, Ohio, April Is Give us
this day our daily bread, will be an
appropriate prayer, according to A.
p. Sandles, Of the State Board OF Ag.
riculture, who says the wheat crop In
Ohio this year will be scarcely more
than rs per cent Of the average yield.
According to Mr) Sandles, reports
from over the state indicate that the
wheat crop was badly damaged by
the severe cold winter. Thousands
of acres of wheat fields now are be.
ing sowed in oats lin order to get
some kind of a yield, he says. Fear
is expressed that there will not be
enough wheat to supply the bread
demands of the people Of the state.
The shortage OF crops in the state
will not be confined TO wheat, accord
ing to Mr.. Sandles. 3 lie says:
Reports that have received are
to the effect that thousands of acres
of sugar beets, potatoes and corn
were not harvested last fall, but were
left in the field, owing to the sudden
cold weather. i do not want to ap
pear to be a pessimist. but serious
situation confronts the farmers and
people of the state.

BOOM
In The Oil Fields In Wayne
County
(Wooster News)

A trip down to the four oil wells
south of the city will convince any
one that the oil boom looks like real
business. The three wells which are
within a stones throw Of ach other
are being pumped steadily and they
are producing oil at a great rate.
The big boilers, heated with the
gas from the Rockey well, furnish the
power to pump the oil. Other new
boilers are lying there and will be in
use before long.
Stakes have been driven in four
different places, each being 500 feet
from the center of the three wells,
and new we'll Is to be drilled at
each of these four points. They are
being placed so that the drillers will
know which direction the oil field ex.
tends.
Men started work Monday to lay
pipe line to Fredericksburg where
the oil from the Ohio Oil Company 8
well will be pumped into the big east
and west pipe line owned by this com.
pany. 1t will be pumped to Pittsburg
refineries.
A large force of men is at work on
the line and a four inch pipe is being
put in. 1t is to be completed in a
short time.
The Columbia Chemical Co., is
turning its output of Gil over to the

Must Have Previously Afiili.
ated With Party
Whose Ticket He Wants To
Cast Vote for
Not Entitled To Unless Voted
For Majority Of State Ticket

A ruling defining the qualifications
of electors for the May primaries,
has been given H. A. Bell, clerk of
the Jefferson county election board,
by Secretary of State Graves, says
the Columbus Dispatch. An elector
desiring to vote party ticket at the
coming primary election, is not en-.
titled to vote such ticket if he has
not previously affiliated with the
party whose ticket he then desired to
vote. Affiliation shall be determined
by the vote of the elector making ap-
plication to vote at the last general
election held in even-numbered years.
AS to the party affiliation that is
required to permit man to partici-
pate in the coming primary election,
Secretary Graves says that 1t is i'm
possible to make an inflexible rule
to apply to each and every case. AS
a general rule he advises that a per-
son could only be held to be affiliated
with a party when his vote showed
that he thereby indorsed and advocat
ed the principles Of that party, and
that those principles may be enacted,
he desires that party to succeed at
the polls. 2esas,,.s (. 81. 4
This would be shown by the vote of
The Individual for ythes majority q off
the state ticket of the party, and for
the candidate of such party for con-
gress, and for state senator and rep
resentatives. Anything less than this
would be insufficient to indicate that
a man had affiliated with party. In
determining this question, Mr.,
Graves says, the vote Of the individ'
uai for the county ticket, except for
state representative and state sena
tor, could possibly be disregarded
hut that he must at least have voted
for the candidate of said party for
congress, state representative and
senator, and majority of the state
ticket.
Il think that the applicant should
have an opportunity 10 explain his
vote and finally, his vote must indi
cate that it was cast from principle
and conviction, and was not influ
enced by local issues, enmity for can
didates, personal friendship or spite,
said Secretary Graves.
