uNRAvELlNe THE OLD LOVE TIE.
A heart filled with coldness,
Killed by assembling,
Crushed by ingratitude,
And-this-is-Loye.

When love words have been spoken
and plighted vows exchanged, the be-
lief is that the silken tie thus woven
is to last: that time will never change
it. There are loves and loves. Some
are Of the quality which endures;
others are of SO loose warp that It
soon trays out Of its own volition,
In other words, the love which is
born Of fleeting fancy soon filters out
Of the heart. as though 1t were an
hour-glass.
There are men who cannot bind
their affections unto any one woman
for q length Of time without the tie
becoming irksome to them. These are
the men who deliberately plan to
break away. With some sweethearts
this is is not 50 easily done. There are
women whom love has so blinded that
they fail to realize their lover 10 losing
affection for them.
II he disappoints her by not com.
ing to take her out, she makes all
sorts Of excuses in her heart for him.
The reason he offers is a lame one. but
it passes with her. He makes up his
mind to break with her, surely, but
slowly. He cannot make her jealous;
his coldness and lack OF attention to
her have no effect. Even the little
quarrels which he gets up she bridges
over without ado.
He finds it the most difficult task
Of his life to unravel the old love tie;
it will stretch, but never break. He
wonders, as all men do, why woman
will persist in clinging to love that
has no warmth for her. Such men
should have heart-to-heart talk With
a sweetheart as soon as they discover
their change Of attitude toward her.
It is cruel to allow her to feed her
heart on hopes Of marriage which he
knows will never be realized. He must
know the fault Of the situation is en-.
tirely his own. He made love to the
woman on the impulse Of the moment,
and proposed marriage before he was
sure of himself. Unraveling o love
knot is tedious work. Men who are
changeable of heart usually marry at
last; but the girl they wed will not
stand for Tong, drawn-out courtship
They must speak quickly il they
hope to win her hand. They know
there's no lettering in loves path:
The love in this instance is unravel.
able material It centers in the mar
rage ring. A girl should beware OF
the lover who makes no effort to keep
his hold on her affections.

is making good use Of the money In.
his own way, but putting her of evas-
lively when she insists upon knowing
Just what 1t is being used for. She ac-
cuses him of drinking or smoking on
the sly, accusations which he indig-
nantly denies.
7 The first cloud appears on the ho-
rizon Of their married life when he
discovers his bride has q temper.
He comes home after hard days
work, to meet wife who has no
smile for him. Instead, she frowns and
answers him in monosyllables. So it
continues. The home he imagined
was to be an earthly paradise turns
out to be so dreary an abode that he
had rather turn his face anywhere
than there. It's mans nature to
look for sympathy wherever he can
find it. He generally turns to some
woman who has a CHEEKY disposition,
a pleasant greeting for him, and a
kindly word, which is sort Of solace
to him. He wishes he could be
met with smile such as this woman
has in his home. The young wife is
high spirited and will not give in.
When the husband has like disposi-
ton. matters grow from bad to worse.
He is afraid that his wife harbors
a mistrust Of him regarding the small
amount he holds back. From the time
the wife takes the stand that she will
be cold to him and he will be glad
to yield to her will the outside infiu-
ence strengthens; proves a powerful
magnetic foe to the wife's happiness
Husbands and wives should make
up their minds to have no secrets
from each other. A wife should con-
slider her husbands privilege by not
insisting on having every cent in his
pay envelope as long as he confides to
her what good use he puts it to. He
may have an aged. needy relative to
whom he gives the money. It would
be much cheaper for him to bring his
old relative to his home and care for
her there. But he considers it might
not meet with her approval. He does
not wish to put care on her young
shoulders. Unless wife is sure her
husband is spending his money fool
ishly, she should not begrudge him
the few dollars he earns himself. A
wife's smile Is the sunshine Of life.
her frown it's cloud.

has his automobile girl, who doesn't
CULVER an eyelash no matter how near
he reaches the danger mark in dash
ing along. She's the girl. too, he takes
to the races. But she isn't the girl
he takes to the theater, or to the
restaurant afterward, ordering wine
for her, exultant over the sensation
she creates when she dances the
tango with him the length Of the
spacious dining room. Then there's
the pretty stenographer in his uncle's
ONCE. She Is the girl he presents
with books because she refuses bon
bons. He waits fer her on stormy
evenings to take her to car, and 1t
Is she Of whom he asks advice on
matters relating to her sex-whether a
fellow was justified in refusing an In
vitation to some affair which he did
not care to attend, although he half
suspected It was arranged for his
benefit. He considers the advisability
Of breaking with two or three of his
pleasant companions ere they become
sweethearts.
But 1t is so difficult that he fears
he is equally in love with each and
every one Of them. When his dear
old mother asks him to bring his best
girl around for some little home
gathering. he does lot Of thinking.
The dear old soul would not under
stand the girl who dotted on golf, but
detested breadmaking and home du-
ties. Nor would the girl mad over
tango and cocktails appeal to her.
He concludes his automobile girl
would not be looked upon with favor
by his mother, who might think the
lassie wouldn't bother her head to
check him IL he went too fast down
pleasures road. As for the stenog-
rapher, true, she hadn't fancy clothes.
but she had very sensible head on
her trim little body. She wasn't what
might be called beauty, but she had
smile and winning way that was
wonderfully taking. Her dignity
would please. There was no frivolity
about her. Her life was serious. Be-
ing the only support Of widowed In
valid mother, not only the bread earn
ing, but the bread making, devolved
upon her Last but by no means
least, many time he wearied OF the
other girls in turn, mentally vowing
each call on this or that one should
be his last.
He never wearied talking to the
stenographer. Each time he talked
with her he liked her the better.
There was something about her which
made her seem different from all the
rest-a subtle charm which made her
heart glow when he thought OF her
He knew by "these signs and tokens"
that she was the girl and the only one

to take to his mother as his best girl.

.CANADA'S PLACE
AS A PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta" says
New York financial journal, have al
ready made Winnipeg one Of the great
est primary wheat markets Of the
world. In 1904 they raised 68.000,000
bushels OF wheat. Five years later
they produced $50 200, 900 bushels. In
1918 the crop appropriated 100000
900 bushels. At the present rate OF
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third IN
the line Of wheat producers. Ulu-
mately It will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer OF our
development. Undoubtedly It will
prove the same with Canada. In the
asst calendar year our trade with Can.
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination ID
needed to see what the future devel-
opment OF Canada means to the
people Of the United States.
The influx Of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now In full
swing. Within the past few days
over 80 OF those arrived at Bassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value Of 100000 Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived In Alberta . few
days ago; while is families of settlers
from the state Of Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects Of this
party filed 20 box cars. OF live stock
alone they had ITS horses, is cows
and 1000 head Of poultry. Another
class Of settler has arrived at Peers,
10 miles west Of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them large amount Of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
mating, while In the northern and CEN
trail portions Of all these provinces,
the settlement Of new people Is going
on steadily. Early in April, Peter
Goerts arrived in Cardif after Z six
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge Of q party Of SO
people from the same part Of Kansas
and they came through with . special
train which included all their stock
and implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the frst
full immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members of the party are
amongst the best In the district.
