BASIS FOR HAPPY MARRIAGE
Writer Gives Reasons for Assertion
That Friencship PIays Nest
important Part.


That there should be such involved
discussion and so laaay amazingly
contradictory theories about the cause
of the failure Of marriage Is surpris-
ing.
The plain fact Ii that marriage is
always the end Of romance and the
beginning of history. This is SO true
that Homer tells lis the women OF an
cient Greece reckoned their ages, not
from the birth date. out from the we'd
ding day A good many husbands in
this twentieth century are a good deal
more certain about the number OF
years their wives have lived since
marriage than about the summers and
winters they have numbered before
they became wives
Failure To recognize the difference
between romance and history causes
failure oi marriage Romance is all
play; history is serious business;
courtship is pie. marriage is potatoes,
Gays the Mothers Magazine The
comedown from pie to potatoes some
times oycrstraius matters seriously.
But, If this crisis is safely passed, an
other awaits.
Love is the spice OF llfq, out friend
ship is the nouriEhing food, without
which life, except to unusual individ-
uals. becomes a burden. The marriage
which is all spice and no food soon
gives one, or frequently both OF the
parties thereto acute indigestion.
When the ecstatic emotions OF the
honeymoon have fed marriage must
find some other subsistence or it can
not thrive And the only satisfying
food is friendship.-John Horace Lock

But to marry Marjorie would mean
poverty for her-at least. until John
could secure another position as good
as the one he was relinqniShing. He
had had hard time since leaving col

Alfalfa Acreage Booming.

The alfalfa acreage in Missouri is
booming this year. as it never has
before. The pioneer growers, and
the campaign of publicity, along
with. the lectures at the farmers
institutes and agricultural meetings
have stirred our people to the i'm
portance of having some alfalfa on
every farm. If all the land that
will raise alfalfa in the poorest al,
falfa county were planted in alfalfa
that would be the county with the
largest acreage in Missouri. Uncle
AL" and his friend. Uncle ST." are
the fellows that make the bank

make the money, the real profits,
these days.
