WIFE SHOULD KEEP SECRETS
7Divorces Are Largely Due to Couples Knowing Too Much of
 Each Other"

Boston.-"The wise wife never tells fssr husband all her secrets. She knows better than run the chance Of losing her independence"
 So declared Mrs. Charlotte Smith. head of the National Homestead asso- citation. The association is studying to find out what makes happy homes. It was learned that if a wife tells her husband everything it is a lesson to him not to tell her his secrets.
 Many divorces are occasioned by married couples knowing too much of each other" declared Mrs. Smith.
 When their secrets become known they magnify them. A wife is really fool if she lets her husband know everything It is best all around not to tell all you know; it saves trouble and heartbreaks. In married life, si- fence is golden. Don't understand that l mean husband and wife should do things on the sly. Not at all. Tell hubby just enough to keep him happy"

 Little Rock.-In reply 10 an inquiry from a Fort Scott, Kans., man Com missioner of Agriculture Page told of the possibilities of Arkansas as a stock raising state.
 Arkansas is ideally adapted to the raising of stock" wrote Mir. Page. We have about 100000 acres of land available for such purposes and a variety of climates, soils, locations and conditions that cannot be found in any other state in the Union.
 More than one-half of our state is hitiy or mountainous and these sec tons are the best adapted to livestock rSising. In no section is it necessary to house and feed the stock more than three months in the year Grass and grain crops do exceedingly we'll Al falfa and lespedeza are our newest hay crops.
 The range of all northern Arkan- sas is good. It is common thing to range cattle and hogs almost the en- tire year. There is an abundance oG pure water in all parts of the state, and the prospective stock grower in Arkansas need have no fear on that account Our annual rainfall is about 52 inches, and we'll distributed. We do not have any drouths and two feed crops, and often three, can be grown each year in any part of our state.
 We have good markets for all class es of live stock. A new packing house has been established in Little Rock apd the markets of Kansas City, Okla homa City, St. Joseph, St. Louis and Memphis are within easy reach of our live stock growers"
