Dear Miss Fairfax:

The other day was in a music
store waiting for mother. Soon an
old school acquaintance came in
for some music. He asked me to
have q sundea with him. l had
known him only a short time, but
he had made himself quite friend
ly. He was a good friend of my
brother. Was it proper to ac-
cept? PERPLEXED.
He offered you only a friendly cour-
tesy, and it would have been squeam.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LET YOUR PARENTS DECIDE.

LET YOUR PARENTS DECIDE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
have been keeping company
with a young man seven months.
We love each other dearly, and
have agreed to marry. His pa"
rents have consented, but mine
refuse on account of his national
ity. What would you advise me
to do? D. K.
For the present let your parents
control the situation. You do not give
your age, but you owe obedience to
their wishes and consideration, no
matter how old you are.
l am sure If you will consider their
desires they will be fair enough to
consider yours.

a plausible scheme for the restoration Of
peace and order in Mexico suggests the retirement,
Of Provisional President Huerla and the selection
OF successor acceptable 10 AL parties who should
serve pending the election OF constitutional
president
The suggestion is that the United States would
promptly recognize the new government and lend
whatever moral assistance that might bc possible
to its support and to the pacfcaton OF the coun
try.
Intervention on the part Of the United
States would mean war and mediation except by
invitation Of the opposing factions would be
hardly less objectionable to the militant forces in
Mexico than intervention The situation at the
capital is such that there - little promise Of per.
petuation OF the present regime and the progress
OF the opposing force is not such a. 10 promise
an early overthrow OF the lIucrta administration
and establishment OF stable government Even
il one revolulionst should succeed in overcoming
another there Is no telling how soon II would be
facing still another revolution
Lack OF funds for prosecuting the war and
mantaing the government - the Chief obstacle
now confronting the Huerta administration. So
long the government cannot have recognition
by the United States It cannot negotiate salts
factory loan IN any Of the money markets OF the
world. II Huerla should retire and give place
to a successor acceptable to all the warning fac

would give promise OF stability the distrauRhl re-

A real genuine IS karat. stingy, selfish man can't be honest, and if he ever gets to heaven and has wings, hefolds them up and walks for fear he will ruffle plume or lose a tail feather. The kind of men who build up a town ard county and enjoy life and make the best citizens, are the enter prising, energetic and liberal men, who believe in living and letting others live; and who do not. when they get dollar, squeeze it till the goddess of Liberty feels like she had on a corset. Such squeezing is what causes such hard times and stops the circulation of the American eagle. If 1t were not for our broad-gauged, enterprising men it would be impossible to build up prosperous city.

Weekly Letter of John H. Page, Commissioner Mines, Manufac-
 [ es and Agriculture.

Arkansas is not up to the standaru, or even the average, in good stock. It might be urg- ed that it is not good advertising to make such an admission. If the statement were made for ad- vertising purposes, it would not be good; but it is not. By all means we shouldn't fool oursel- yes.
 The first step to stock improve ment is to realize the need of it. We have some good stock in diff ferent parts of the State, some that is real classy in fact, but we haven't enough. Arkansas has fine horses, real good ones. It would be a revelation to lots of folks to see all the fine, blooded horses in Arkansas in a show ring. If we had enc good blood ed stallion in each neighborhood it would mean a vast improve ment in horses in five years. But we must take some steps to get rid of the "scrub" and grade" stalhons. The half and quarter breeds are not fit for breeding purposes and should be eliminat- ed.
 There is equally as much room for improvement in cattle. We have but few dairy cows with notable records as milk or but ter producers. Other states have plenty of cows that produce more than 30 pounds of butter per week. We haven't them in Arkansas. The beef type cattle are not up to the average either. though we have some fine indi- vidual specimens.
 In hogs, Arkansas is not so far behind, notwithstanding the re- puted "razorback." Arkansas has some real classy. high bred hogs, in most all breees. You see it don't take so long to breed up the hogs. We have lots of the scrub variety. but they can be bred out of existence in year or two. while it is not so with horses and cattle. I
 1 want to see Arkansas move up in the stock line. We need stock improvement. we must have it. Let's all push and pull together to get it, and begin right now. A good way to begin is to start a crusade against the impure bred males. We need a regis trrtion withe Agriculture Depart ment or some other place, and license be paid before service could be rendered, and the scrubs should not be allowed to be re- gistered or licensed to render service at all.
 In the case of horses and cat. tie veterinary's certificate should be required. to show that the animals are free from hered- itary diseases or physical defi- ciencies of importance. By the registration and license system the half breeds and grrdes would soon be eliminated. and we would have a few years mostly pure bred stock. Then stock raising would take a loom that would bring Arkansas to the front in quick time. The higher the value of prcductl no matter what 1t IS ALo rrootor twill ha the interest
