elopement with him she led a life in
New York and abroad that almost
made even the bright light denizens
gasp, and her death is the direct re-
suit of it. According to the newspa-
pers she died from broken heart,
estranged from her family and de-
ceived by Wilson. and many a pretty
moral was pointed on the inevitable
fate of the innocent and trusting girl
in the clutch of a villain. But those
who know the story of Florence
Schenk know that 1t was she herself
that led the way to the perdition that
awaited her, and if blame is to be
placed it must fall on the father, who
never knew her. and the license of the
time which permitted her the freedom
that wrought her ruin.

TOO Old,

Chicago Tribune: Because he was

ed for a Job, and was told that he
was too old to be employed, man
Of sixty-four attempted suicide the
other day. Another man who is too
old" to find work has written to the
federal commission on industrial re-
ilations in Washington appealing to
that body to establish a young mems
iassociation'' whose duty 1t should be
to find work for the men that under
present conditions are thrown on the
industrial scrap heap. Age Is no
longer badge Of honor but or shame
and dependence. The young, hot
blooded generation is impatient with
its sires, whose blood Is running
colder. There are still thousands OF
places in industry that could be filed
by the old. But unless an Individual,
appeal is made fcs' a man Of this
class. he fails to get job. 1t Is one
of our business principles If not act
ually to eliminate the old and the
aging, at least not to encourage the
hiring of such men. THIS does not
speak well Of our civilization. The
sight of little children whose lives
and happiness are crushed under foot
in mills and factories Is sad. But sad
also is the sight Of an old man turned
away from the factory gate or office
door, turned loose to suffer or to die

farmers should make 1t a point to in
form themselves thoroughly of the
rules as they pertain to eggs. butter,

all of which come from the farm.
The new rules tell Just how things
must be packed to be admissible to
the mails, and unless packed as in
structed, they may be refused and,
even II accepted, may not reach their
destination In At condition for use.
Farmers as rule, have shown keen
interest In everything pertaining tn
the service and have tried to obey the
rules and regulations as far as they
could. Many of them, however. are
not as we'll informed as they should be
and others neglected to keep at home
the proper materials for proper pack

market. So 1t behqoves the farmers
TO read these rules and be careful, in
the future to follow the instructions
herein given. Otherwise, the service
