South Africa Placed
Under Military Rule


Cape Horn ~ A general strike Ill
through South Africa has been pro-
claimed BY the Trades Federation,
and the Rand miners BY two-thirds
majority have voted to join in the
movement. Governmental retaliation
was swift. It took the form Of the
proclamation Of martial law.
This was the only step the authori-
ties believed adequate to meet the
situation, for the strike Of the miners
means not only the turning loose Of
the most turbulent spirits in the Rand,
but raises the question of the posses
sion Of the native workers. II the
miners actually obey the strike order
the government will take steps to send
the natives under escort back to their
kraals.
This means that about 200, 200 ma
tives must be marched back by road
to their homes at enormous cost. 1t
will be most difficult, after the end of
the strike, to recruit them again. In
brief, such step would mean disaster
for the Rand for many years.
Although official reports from Jo-
hannesburg show improvement in the
train service, reports from other dis
trict are less encouraging. In Natal
the situation is of great tension, and
it is feared that the loyalty Of the
trainmen will not stand the strain
much longer. The mems temper is
shown by the action of an engine
driver who quit his train on the veldt
and left the passengers stranded.

Seeks More School Room.
Wapato- growth of attendance

cessitated action on the part of the
school board of District No. 81 to pro-

I get a great many letters from mar

tuous and discreet wives and mothers,
yet who complain that they are an
noyed by the attentions of men who
have fallen desperately in love with
them.
Many Women Have an Unsuitable Ap-

and not infrequently 1t is brother,

do about It. how shall she stop it,
Perhaps such cases exist, but | am
sure they are far more rare than my
correspondents think. Not every
woman who thinks herself a fascinator
could substantiate her title TO the
claim. Many women have such an
Unsuitable appetite for romance that
they can manufacture It out of mere
politeness on a mans part, and they
go about fitting the halo of a lover on
the unsuspectlng head of every man
they meet. Many a man, who has
never felt any impulse stronger than
mere friendliness toward q woman
would fall dead with surprise If he
knew that she believed him to be per-
fishing of hopeless passion for her.
Therefore, | take with a good many

OF course. the situation often goes
beyond the limits the woman expected

once more at the very outer edge of
the cake of romano when she began

or the family friend. and she's discon-

the man wants to play the game out

When a married woman begins dali
lying along the primrose path, there's
generally something pitiful about il
as well as sordid. because back of hei
straying is the feminine never-endinh

something more than the dry husks
of matrimony.
She may have a good husband,
good home, all the comforts of life,
but her husband never shows her any
loverlike attention. never notices how
she looks, never praises her. He ap-
parently regards her as Just q cog in

OF the woman, starving for some real
manifestation of a living affection,
takes forbidden fruit.

game, and 1t takes two to play II.

Many of the disastrous failures
among poultry keepers may be traced
directly to a weakness i'm the physical
condition of the fowls. Any flock in
which the birds are not full of VigOr,
or free from disease, cannot be made
to pay a profit to the owner. The egg
production from a flock of this kind
will be far below the average and very
often will not be enough to pay for
their food or keep. Besides the les
sened egg production, there will be a
low per cent. of fertility in the egg,
or, even IL the eggs are fertile. they
will fail to hatch. Birds of known
ancestry, which have robust health
and are the only kind TO use as breed

serious consideration. Selecting birds
for breeders which have strong, vigor-
Gus constitutions has more to do with
the success or failure in the poultry
industry than any other single fac
TORN fact, vigorous stock is the real
foundation of the industry.
No other branch of live stock breed =
ing has suffered more at the hands of
the inexperienced that that of poultry
keeping. Thousands of persons have
become obsessed with the notion that
all that is necessary to secure a per-
manent income is to move into the
suburbs and keep a flock of chickens.
They usually have kept a small flock,
figured the cost of feeding, calculated
the number of eggs which were pro-
duced and found that 1t gave them a
margin of profit larger than usual,
considering the amount Of capital in
volved. BY further reasoning that it
was only necessary to increase the size
of their flock. which netted such
handsome profits, the income for the
future is to them established. But
many are the wrecks which have
been cast upon the rocks of disaster
merely because the poultrymen were
inexperienced when attempting things
tions no allowances were made for
losses not under their control.
Selection Begins With Chicks.
The real selection of the breeding
stock should begin with the Matching
chicks. Blood will tell in the poultry
yard just as 1t does in any other
branch of livestock breeding. If the
eggs are from vigorous, healthy stock
and have been properly incubated they
will begin to pip on the twentieth day;
a few hours later the chick Will
kick itself clear from the shell and be
scratching for it's first meal before its
more weakly nest mates have dragged
themselves from the shell. These
strong, lusty chicks will begin to ex-
ercise from the very beginning, in

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
II IN a girl nineteen and considered
good-looking. A year and half ago
was introduced to a young man
about four years my senior, whom |
liked very much until l met another
and neglected the first one without any
explanation. L went out with the
second fellow, and then a third, to
whom I became engaged, and then
broke my engagement because / real
lied that didn't love him. Went back
again with the second, and we couldn't
agree. Now I regret my treatment
of the first for whom [ think I cared
most. WORRIED.
II you returned to the first allie
glance you would probably find your
self imagining yourself in love with
the second love, or the third, or even
a fourth still unmet. Busy yourself
about some sensible work and try not
to put love and sentiment in such a
prominent place in your thoughts.
Your fickleness is likely to cause you
lasting unhappiness unless you take
steps to discipline your own nature.

The Married Woman and Her Romance

1t is only in melodramas that the
villain still pursues. In real life
woman has only to say Scat" to
distasteful lover. and say it in n tone
of voice as If she meant il, and h,
seats over the back fence before you
can say Jack Robinson. The difficulty
is to keep a man in love with you. not
to prevent him from getting tired of
you, and wandering off after younger
and fairer face. Especially when
you're old enough to be wife and
mother.
In all good truth. the woman who is
really honest at heart and desires to
run straight has little to fear from
men. Practically every man tests
every woman that he meets as to her
moral principles. If he ascertains that
she is one of those who is standing
around looking out for a tempter. he
qualities for the Job. but If he rec
ogniZes that she is one of the pure in
heart, he respects her innocence. 1t is
curious but true, that q man is equally
willing to lead a woman up or down.
AS q matter of fact, men have such
a respect for goodness in woman
that only the lowest and most de-
graded among them would turn a
woman from the right path If they
could.
Women Often Play With Fire Until
Too Late to Save Selves
Even the most evil men, knowing
too much of evil women, have this.
ideal of white and unsullied woman
hood. and any wife and mother has in
her wifehood and motherhood a shield
that will protect her from any Lo-
thario If she cares to use it.
Not many men are so abandoned as
to thrust unwelcome attentions upon an
honorable wife and mother, and the
married woman who finds herself in
possession of lover has. at least, been
guilty of contributory negligence. Like
