TALKS ON HEART TOPICS
Girl. who Dream of wealth.

!
] Can wealth give happiness Loos round and ses
What gay distress. what splendid Hisery!
What fortune laEishly can pour
The mind annihilaies and calls for more.
1t has been said that worldly wealth
Is the devils bait: but those whose minds
feed upon riches recsde In general from
real happiness
u Is sad enough to see those who are
| weary battling with the world grasping
| for wealth. but IT Is sadder still to hear
| from the lips Of girl in her teens, ''fll
never marry unless / can get a rich
man." Such girl secs before her minds
eye visions Of splendor-a fine home.
llveried servants, automobiles. an opera
box and flashing jewels. II never oc-
ours to her to give a thought to the kind
OF a man who would give her all Of
these luxuries.
II she were TO be transpianted from
her humble home to such a life Of
grandeur, she does not cosider that IL
would mean raising an impossible barrier
between those who had loved and toiled
with her and herself
She could not continue the intimacy
with the girls who had worked side by
side with her. sharing their torn um-
brellas with her because she was too
poor to own one: aye and their lunch
treat to her. The lives of the women
who had been born to wealth would be
far apart from hers.
One cannot crop the threads OF an old
life and pick uD those of a new and fit
into the surroundings perfectly in EI=ny
a day.
There can be unhappiness underneath
silken bodices. The rich man a girl
is pleased to we'd may have tastes that
are repulsive to a refined girl. glaring
faults that would bar her from Joy: an
unsympathetic nature and a cold heart.
Could flashing gems and shimmering
silks satisfy her longing for companion
ship or for a tender word or fugitive
caress? Many a girl who weds for wealth
and out Of her sphere wishes in her
hearts depth she could undo II. She
sobs in her loneliness: Would that I

who loved me well. He would have spent
his evenings at home. would have had
work to do; but toll would have been

wealth may not take wings. When she
is older. weaker. unable to cope with

work she tossed so gladly from her in

before her. Girls should marry for love
and help their husband to accumulate
wealth. Then it can be equally enjoyed
by both, hand to hand and heart to
heart.

A FOOLISH FAMILY.

Once upon a time there lived two
very foolish people, man and his wife
They were interested in reducing the
high cost of living. They figured that
an up-to date garden would help, which
of cours, was a very foolish notion.
They thought that not only ccull
they supply the householi with gHZe-
tables for immediate and future use
but that the outdoor work would save
doctor bills and that hey would thu :
gain botn wealth and health, which of
course was q very foolish notion.
They read and studied seed cataIogs.
government bulletins and other litera
ture Of authority on the subject OF gar
dening- They read that their garden
plot should be covered with a scatter
ing of well-rotted manure and then
deeply plowed. This was to be done in
the fall so that the winter rains and
SHOWS would be gathered in and held
by the soil. This Of course was fool
ish notion but they did it, as foolish
psople are apt to do.
About March 1st. they hogan to
plant to. nato, cabbage and pepper seeds
in boxes kept in a warm place in the
house and placed in q sunny window on
warm days. AS warmer days come
they began planting the harder vage-
tables out of doors. They planted just
so deep and just so far apart. in fact,
they tried 10 90 everything according
to we'll tested and proved methods, they
themselves not having had much ex-
perience. The Children were given
small plots of their very own and the
whole family became much interested
in their garden. OF course this was
all foolishness bat they didn't know il.
And 10, when the proper time came
the vegetables became OF a size to eat
and they were good to behold The
neighbors cast envious eyes over the
fence. for they had made hit-or-miss
garden And so it cam : about that
this foolish family lived BEAUTIFULLY and
happily ever after, which OF course
was very foolish. L. D. w.

is undesirable" Nine of the young
men Of the school ably affirmed and de-
MED the important points the question
suggests. The boys chosen were AL

fellows will be sent to Pittsburg to af-

Boxes And Crates by Parcel POST.

Postmaster General Burleson has ap-
proved an amendment TO the parcels
post law under which butter. eggs.
fruit, vegetables, poultry and other ar
ticles in parcels weighing from 20 to so
pounds may be shipped In the first and
second zones in boxes and crates siniI-
ar to those used by the express COM
panies.
Parcels weighing 20 pounds, or less,
will be handled as formerly, and must
be securely packed In "such q manner
as to be safely treated in bags with
other matter"
From the cities there is coming the
constantly increasing complaint Of the
high cost OF living. at the same time
city jewellers complain that they can
not purchase vegetables and other pro-
duce from the grocery stores and veg
etable merchants, that are fresh and
wholesome, even though the prices are
high.
These things have brought about a
new era in the manner of distribution
Of farm, garden and dairy products.
The cities are full of people who want
to buy these goods direct, and the
country is full of farmers who would
gladly sell such goods direct for the
sake Of the profits. ALI that remains
is for them to get together.
The parcel post regulations are in
tended to bring producer and consumer
in touch. Why not then, Mr.. Produc-
er, attempt to make use of this privi-
lege. Insert an ad in your leading pa
per and describe your marketable pro-
ducts. In writing the ad do not be
bashful about praising your goods
Have your name Oh each package where
1t may be readily seen. If yoar name
is jones, advertise .Toaes's butter, or
Jones's cOma toes or whatever Jones
has to sell. Do this in a manner that
sill leave an impression that Jones is
proud Of what he has to sell and that
If it is not as good as advertised, il
will be made good Advertise every
thing prepaid, then the buyer does not
have to stop and figure, and it further
the Idea of falling into a
trap
But above all make your goods come
up to the standard That when people |
bay Jones's eggs this month they will |
clamor for Jones's eggs next month |
Finally when you have made Jones's |
eggs a standard commodity you can do |
business on surer and more profitable |
basis, for each customer will bring |
others with him. If these new custom |
ers are satisfied as they will be on re-
ceiVing satisfactory produce, your trade |
will soon expand into large proportions. |
In addition to the ordinary profits re-
ceived, think what good name means /
to your business? Herds. hoeks, and /
varieties Of vegetables will increase in /
value as time goes on. And this Is
Just the kind of increase you should be |
looking for. It requires no outlay of /
an outlay of business |
