A Mystery.

Nobody can explain these
things, and nobody can suggest a
remedy, for when the head and
the heart espouse different sides
In matrlmony there is happiness
in following the lead OF neither.
The marriage of reason where a
man marries a woman because
she is suitable, or a woman mar
ries a man because he can give
her a fine establishments is
cold blooded affair that has no
more thrills in it than a jelly
fish. and that pals on ones ap-
petite like dinner of health
foods. 4 woman may have all
the virtues under the sun. but I'M
less there is something in her
that quickens a mans blood and
makes his throat get a little tight
when . he thinks about her, she
will become the WEAKNESS of
death to him. A man may be a
very paragon Of perfection, but
unless every time she looks at him
a woman sees him through a rosy
mist Of romance the bondage of
her wifehood TO him becomes iron
letters on her that clank in her
ears as she moves.
Nor is there any way to change
this If men and women are not
in love with each other before
marriage they 90 not fall in love
with each other after marriage,
for matrimony is not a promoter
of romantic sentiments. 1t is the
fell destroyer of illusions, when
both husband and wife inevitably
see each other in their worst
lights.

The Tragedy Of Love.

1t IS part of the tragedy Of love
that the head and the heart do
not always approve of the same
person, and that the one who
fires our fancy seldom comes up
to our ideal.
Thus a man, before he is hard
hit by Cupid's dart, will tell you
that the woman he marries must
be intelligent, Industrious, thrifty,
domestic, not given to fashion or
folly. and he VIII hold up his
hands in horror over the very
idea of a man choosing for q
lifes mate giddy little thing
who is as pretty and as useless as
a painted butterfly.
Nevertheless, here comes along

is breaking his neck chasing aft

a CORRESPONDENT a 5 X 5
n these questions:
why should man or
woman go over all the reasons
why he or she should not love
someone, and all the equally forci-
bic easons why some other one
who would be best and wisest for
him or her to marry, while he or
she knows that he or she loves
and wants the undesirable party?
In short, why should men and
women in love be like one who
flips a coin to decide a question.
and when it comes down heads
abides by the tail decision, any
how? Is this subtle thing We call
intuition, or the sixth sense. a
better guide in love than our
coarse, and by no means infalli-
bic, reason
A general blanket reply to
these queries is that men and
women love by instinct, and not
by rule. There is a mysterious
attraction of the individual, just
as there is an attraction between
the sexes, that nobody can ex-
plain.
The wisest and most learned
scientists can not tell us why a
man picks some one particular
woman out of all the other wom-
en- to be his mate. nor why a
woman gets up and follows some
one man to the ends of the world.
Nor do the man and woman
know themselves. The wife and
husband a man and woman have
chosen may be inferior in every
way 10 hundreds of other men
and women with whom they We're
associated daily The world may
wonder at their selection, but to
the man and the woman there
were only one other man and
woman in the world.

Why Vote Was Rescinded.
Last evening Alex Stern, one Of the
four trustees who voted to rescind the,
action taken by the board in electing
DR.. Ladd president. said:
THE board of trustees voted unani-
mously to make DIR. Worst president
emeritus because the board was assur-
ed by Mr.. Kelley, one Of the trustees;
that DR.. Worst was willing to accept
the office of president emeritus. Mr..
Kelley stated that DR.. Worst had told
him he-would accept the new office.
he would accept the new office.
Later, when DR.. Worst returned
from Washington, he stated emphat-
ically that he did not make any SUCH
statement. Then the four members
of the board rescinded the action bel
lieVed that such course was the only
proper one to take.
"The terms of the four members of
the boar will expire soon and Cow
ernor Hanna will appoint new mem-l
the first of the year. The four whose
| terms expire are Kelly, Hollister, Nu-
gent and Elliott.
1--WE four members thought this
whole matter should be finally del
cided by the new board
The Formal Statement.
Following is the statement of the
members who resigned.
We have been for several years
trustees nf the A. c., and the enormous
| amount Of money used there has al
ways appalled, us, and many times
have we wondered if it was wise: If
the results were all that could be rea-
sonably expected, and what could be
done to improve things.
Among the hundred and one fea-
lures attempted and adopted was this;
about five years ago it was agreed by
all concerned that the officers of presi-
dent Of the college and director Of the
station should be separated, President
| Worst naving held both offices for
| fifteen years. This was agreed to by
Mr.. Worst, and a search was begun to
| find a suitable director of the station
Many names were under discussion,
among the A. G. faculty as well as that
of other similar institutions. Finally
| attracted by the work of the Better
Farming association, under Thomas
Cooper, we conceived the idea of at
tempting to take over that work un-
der the experiment station, and make
Mr.. Cooper the director. The idea was
submitted to President Worst, who
gave it his unqualified approval, not
4 only the taking over OF the work, but
the selection of Mr.. Cooper as director
who he declared was the best man for
! the place we could hope to find. con-
sequently in the summer of 1918 such
action was adopted, and in October
1913, Mr.. Cooper was elected director
of the station and in charge of all ex-
tension. and the trustees felt that they

DYKE NAN
HONORED

Dunkirk, France, Nov. 2S.-The man
who planned the flooding of the Ger
man positions on the User, has been
decorated with the order of King Leo
pold and will likely receive some sim
liar recognition from the allies govern
ments.
This man, whose name is not made
public, was keeper of the Great Nieu-
port Sluices, which control the water
in the canals dykes. His position gave
him unrivalled knowledge Of the pos
sibilities of inundating country. He
pointed out to the Belgian general staff
that by using the railway embankment
as a dyke, and by breaking the canal
bank in certain places, they could in
undate most of the region occupied by
the German trenches and advanced
gun positions.
His plan was at once adopted. The
culverts in the railway embanxment
were filled with sand and gravel, then
the fire Of the heavy guns was con-
centrated on points in the canal bank,
until 1t burst and water spread over
the field.

The three members of the board Of
trustees Of the Agricultural college
who yesterday sent their designations
to Governor Hanna, today gave The
Forum the statement, published here
with, giving their views Of the s1tua-
ton. They make the very serious in
sinuation that there has been an at
tempt at political manipulation of the
board.
They, also make the Veiled charge
that there has been incompetence in
running the affairs of the Agricultural
college. This charge will be found in
their opening paragraph.
In view of the fact that they have
made some very strong statements re-
hecting- on President Worst and in
justice to President Worst he was in
vtted to make a formal statement in
reply.
81 have no formal statement to make
at this time" said Mr.. Worst, because
have not had time to prepare one
and do not believe there Is any rea-
son to make a long detailed statement.
There is one thing that I wish to
emphatically deny, and that is that I
have been jealous Of Mr.. Cooper or
have refused to work with him. On
the, contrary have been keenly inter
ested in Mr.. Cooper's work and have
been glad to do everything I could to
be Of assistance to him, since he took
charge Of the experiment station.
81 did object, and think I had rea-
son to do so to the way the change by
which Mr.. Cooper was put in charge
of the experiment station work
was manipulated. I felt at the time
and still feel that after devoting nearly
twenty years to this work in North
suited in the matter and If had
would have gladly consented to the
change and have done everything in
my power to bring 1t about.
"But to say that I have refused to
work with Mr.. Cooper is q mis-state-
ment. I have not only, not refused to
work with him, but have helped him
in every way possible since he took
charge and we work together without
any friction"
Members of the board Of trustees
have made the statement that it has
been understood for some time by the
trustees that Mr.. Worst expected to
resign when he had concluded twenty
years of service as president Of the
Agricultural college, which will be
next June. When he was asked II he
had intended to resign next June, Mr..
Worst said:
"'T have said in an oft-hand way that
I might feel inclined to resign as active
head of the Agricultural college, after
completing twenty years, but there
was no understanding to that effect
there was nothing definite about 1t.

talking in a conversational way to In
