PUT BEST FOOT FORWARD
No Better Advice Can Be Given Than
to Present Brave Front to

If every pair for whom wedding
bells are to ring this June would
take to heart the thought that their
private affairs are their own, not TO
be told to outsiders and not paraded
to the world. they would insure and
safeguard their sci respect and the
permanence of their home.
The temptation may arise when
first there is a little friction to seek
sympathy from mother, sister, or init
mate friend
That temptation should be trampled
under foot.
Confidential friends are not inva-
riably to be trusted With or with
out the best intentions the third party
intruding IN the affairs of married
couple is in peril Of making mischief.
Make it a rule to confide wholly
without secrets or reserves il one an
other from the hour that YOU become
husband and wife, and you will have
little to fear, though the four winds
should blow around your house. 1t

her punishment seemed greater than

Ircn Clothes With Their Feet.

A writer in the Wide World Maya
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet! The 1aan
were employed in the native tai bring
establishments Except for d long
handle. the irons were shaped like the
ordinary fiat-iron, only larger. A solid
block of wood rested on the top of
the iron, and on this the men placed
one foot, guiding the iron in the de
sired direction by means of the
handle. For the sake of convenience,
ironing boards were raised only few
inches from the ground. and however
strange the method may seem to US,
the work was done very well aid very
expeditiously.

for the growth of wheat of excellent
quality. Wheat pests are well under
control and more farmers know how
to farm without robbing the soil OF
its fertility. New wheat strains bred
for high yielding power and quality
are being adapted TO Wisconsins con-
ditions. Farmers are giving more at
tention to their seed so as to prevent
deterioration. All of these facts.
coupled with the proportionately
greater average increase in the price
of wheat as compared with other
small grains, indicate that the time
is at hand when wheat should be
again included in Wisconsin crop ro
tations for such soils as are adapted
to it's culture. A bulletin on wheat
raising in Wisconsin recently pub
lished by the Wisconsin experiment
station, will be of interest to farmers
living upon the clay and clay loans
of Wisconsin.

There is every prospect that the po-
tato growers of Wisconsin will in the
future be called upon to produce an
even larger proportion Of the tubers
needed to supply the demands for Sc
Iect seed and choice market stock. AS
the growers recc gniZe the advantage
Of growing only few standard varfe-
ties. they will realize more and more
from their crops. Nothing has done
more to iniure the reputation of Wiz
consin's potatoes than the indiscrig;-
