Dear Mrs. Thompson: Have been
keeping company with a girl when
loved and trusted in every way
and who said she loved me also and
wants me to be true to her and TO
trust in her.
often noticed that she fiirted with
other men while in my company, and
when in company it often happened
that she did not pay any attention to
me at all, but only to the other boys. /
always overlooked these things, but
they happened so often that / spoke
to her about it, but she told me not
to leave her, and that she loves me.
/ always gave in, but 1t happened
again and again, so that am be-
ginning to feel colder toward her.
Does she really love me?
1 think if she loved me she would
not do this and hurt my feelings, as
l never treated her this way.
Would you advise me to stay away
for a while or give her up?
STEADY READER.
It might be a good idea to stay
away from her a while, and let her
find out if she cares enough for you
to consider your feelings. However,
notice you say you are not engaged.
Maybe that's the trouble.
When a man tells girl he loves
her, but stops short of asking her to
marry him, she is quite free to be as
nice to other man as she may wish.
If you really want this girls love,
do as any honorable man would do
ask her to be your wife and become |
formally engaged to you. Then |
everybody would know it, and she
would feel quite different about be-
slowing her attention upon other
boys; in fact, I don't think she
would want to.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % How is
/ good way to get rid of a fellow
when he hangs around and will not
AXE hint? Even if you don't
lotice him he stays.
(2) When one is engaged to a fell
ow, is it wrong to let him kiss her?
A FRIEND.
% I think if you will keep on
gnoring him he will get tired of 1
Ianging around. Don't accept any
invitations from him and don't in |
lite him, By being thoroughly dis i
Srceable you can get rid of him.
(2) I think it is permissible for :
hgased people to kiss each other, t

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Do not sprinkle your lawn when the
sun is shining. That is the'way many
good lawns are spoiled. Sprinkle with
hose after the sun has gone down two
or three times a week in the dry sea-
son.
To clean with gasoline without leav-
ing mark, make a paste of gasoline
and flour, rub well into the place to be
cleaned. brush until the -four has been
brushed out and there will be no ring
left.
Instead of starching thin, delicate fa-
brics, dip them in as hot water as
your hands will stand. Then wiring
as dry as you can and iron at once.
To have custard pie of an even, nice
brown when baked, sprinkle a little
sugar over the top just before putting
into the oven.

sion steamer Majestic Saturday wal

drowned, has been accounted for.
An effort will be made to raise the
sunken steamer and divers have been
at work for the past two days doing the
preliminary work The officials have
been unable to ascertain just how big
a hole was rent in the hull. The work
men are now trying to save the boat
by pumping the water out of the hull
and raising it gradually. If this meth
cd fails, they will be forced to build a
temporary dam around the steamer.
John Pearson of Quincy and s. B.
Withrow of Winona, who were two of
the licensed pilots on the boat at the
time of the accident, were in Rock Is
land today.

Yields have steadily Increased until

thirty to forty-five bushels of wheat

yield of 40 bushels of oats on a
