without taking the trouble to mention
it until the day of their going out to-
gether arrives, lest her parents might
make objection, and she would have
the trouble of talking them over to
her view and wishes.
The wilful girl is usually overroman-
tic. She considers herself as capable
of choosing her own lover in the face
Of any opposition, just as she has al
ways overrued opposition in selecting
her hats ard gowns of bizarre slit.
She intends to please herself. She
will have no interference in her love
affairs.
The dashhlg young fellow who is liv-
ing on expectations, visits her home
regularly. He is not the type of man
her parents would wish for, yet they
hope against hope that love will spur
him on to get into some successful
business. ard thus prove his WORTH
ness of her, or, if he fails to make
good through not trying, that the
glamour will fall from her eyes-and
sine will see him as others see him.
They do not favor a sporty young
man, with a handsome face, who IL
tends that his good looks should do
the work for him and earn as a re-
ward comfortable home to step into
and a wifes well-flled, open pocket
book.
In homes where father rules the
household, he does not make himself
scarce in the parlor when a young man
calls upon his daughter. The self
willed daughter is not averse to letting
father know that they can get along
without him; that she can never hope
for proposal of marriage under such
conditions.
The parents, to whom their daugh.
ter's happiness is above all else, allow
her to ovelrule their Judgment as to
what is best for her by permitting his
continued visits. 1t is not until a girl
sees such a fellow in his true colors
that she realizes the gTtevous wrong
she did her parents in encouraging the
young man against their wishes.
Remember, it matters not to what
extent girl may have her owp way
in the household in most instances
she should be governed by her par
ents' wishes in her heart affairs. Ear
nest parental eyes look through the
most clever roue's disguise. They are
quick to discover "the wolf in Sleeps
clothing, on the satanic lover with the
cloven foot"

WESTERN CANADA's
PROSPECTS FOR 1914
Excellent Spring for Work and
Wheat Seeding About
Finished.

The writer mas just returned from
az extensive trip through tre Prov
tnces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, In Western Canada. The crop
conditions are the very best, and no
one locality seems to have an advan-
tage over another In this respect. The
uniformity in growth is remarkable,
and in all parts of the three provinces
spring wheat at the time OF writing,
May 10th, f. well above the ground
from two to three inches. Consider
able fall plowlng was done last year,
and this, with the summer fallow, is
already seeded, so that practically
wheat seeding Is over by this date,
Everywhere the farmers are busy and
the whole country presents one great
scene of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, four
horse and five-horse teams are busy
preparing land FOR barley, oats and
nax. On some of the larger farms
hts are at work. but in great many
districts where these have been oper-
ated in the past they are being dis
placed by horses, owing no doubt par
TALLY to the difficulty of securing ex-
perienced men to operate them. Any
way, there is being put into agricul-
ture in Western Canada, greater ef-
fort with more promise than for some
years past. The soil is in the best
possible condition; moisture has been
sufficient, there have been no winds
to dry out the soil, and If the farmers
have had to lay up for a day or so
now and again, 1t was merely that the
ground might have the advantage of
the rain and an occasional snow,
which promise SO much for the grow
ing crop. With some warm weather
the grain will come along IN a man
ner that will equal the best years
Western Canada has ever had.
It must not be thought from this
that the farmers are full bent on Sc
curing grain crop alone. IN nearly
every district there is more and more
the indication and inclination to go
into mixed farming. Herds of cattle
now DOT the plains that up to the
present had been fully given up to
grain growing, hogs and sheep are In
evidence. New buildings are to be
seen on a great many places, these
being pig houses and COW stables. al
though protection of cattle is not regu-
larly required. excepting for calves
and such COWS as 1t may be necessa ry
to house from time to time.
The growing of alfalfa and other
fodder grasses is an industry that is
being rapidly developed.
During this spring a splendid class
of new settlers have gone Ia, many of
them from the eastern states These
have seen what success the western
and central states man has achieved
in Western Canada, and are now go
ing in in hundreds. The movement
from Montana, Oregon and Washing
ton to Canada continues without any
abatement az to numbers and value of

WAR PLANS READY
COMPLETE SCHEME OF INVASION
OF MEXICO WAS PREPARED
BY WAR COLLEGE.
LIKE scoTT's AND TAYLoR's
Experienced Officers Have Drawn Up
Details of Operations for Use In
Armed Conflict With Any
Nation on Earth.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.


Neutrality-suspicious. the first note of
wars alarm was heard the instant
query was, how well prepared is the
United State for eyentualities?" In
previous dispatch 1t was told how
the quartermaster's department was
ready to feed and clothe three big
armies and that the chances we're
there would be no repetition Of the
scandal of unprepafedness which was
an affection of the Spanish war days.
An army must be fed, clothed and
armed, but there are other things
necessary for proper preparation for
the war. In the city of Washington
there Is a war college, an army insti-
tuition in which officers of advanced
rank go to school again" 1t is one
of the duties of the war college to
study stragedy and to lay plans for
possible conflict with any nation on
earth.
When the first sign came that war
with Mexico was possible the war col
lege gave to the authorities com
plete plan for the invasion by armed
forces OF the Spanish-American coun-
try. In fact it gave several plans,
e1tch one of which was intended to
meet certain contingencies of cam
paigning. Long before the aeet was
sent to Vera Cruz the army men nad
taken a thought on the possibility
that Huerta, Carranza and Villa
might Join forces against the United
States. One plan of campaign, the
most comprehensive one, was pre-
pared to meet just such condition
Another plan took cognizance of the
possibility or probability that Car
rama and Villa would not resent an
invasion of Mexico If the object OF
the invaders was to drive Huerta
from the capital and to set up a con
sttutional government. This plan ot
campaign was less elaborate than the
ether, but 1t was based on the best
thought which some thirty or forty
srmy officers of long service coulG
bring to bear on the subject.

We school our manners, act our parts.
But He who sees US through and

Knows that the bent of both our hearts
Was TO be loving. honest. true.
There is no one to pull against the
loosened purse strings if single man
chooses to spend all he earns. The
married man who has but recently
taken wife, and with small income
in most instances, concludes If he is
to get ahead he must look after the
pennies. Such man does not intend
to be stingy; far from it. He means
only to be frugal 1t never occurs to
him that his helpneet may not take
the same view as he does II man
weds a woman who has been used to
economy, juggling successfully with
the nimble siXpence, there is harmony
in the household. If he marries a girl
who has had all her wants plentifully
supplied by her parents, she may Sc
cretly rebel against being sttnted
down to a small amount fixed price
to live on.
If her husband finds fault with her
for buying too expensive tablecloths
and napkins, in short, reads her
sharp lecture on extravaganza, he is
apt not to know from her the true
cost of anything in future.
OF course, she cannot make the mer-
chants come down in their prices
Hubby is fond of good living. She
wants peace Therefore, she does her
best to stife her conscience cry, to
beware! take care! There should be
no fibbing between husbands and
wives.
No wife is justified in an attempt
to hoodwink her husband by telling
him that this or that is so much
cheaper than it really is; or adding
to the price of some article to exc out
a little money to buy some bit of
| finery she Graves, and after she has
bought it fearing to show it up before
him. Like many woman, the weight
OF a secret in her heart is a heavy
load-it hurts. When she confesses
her little misdoing, wise is the hus-
band who takes it good-naturedly
Wiser, and more sensible still is
| he who seeks her entire confidence
and adds a little to her allowance to
| buy bit Of finery, or whatever she
wants, rather than have her resort to
even the least deception to satisfy
his inquiries. 1t is always the wife

believes that it is for his best inter-
est not to be told anything which
might annoy him. Her intentions are

remember there is world of truth in
the lines:
Oh, what a fatal web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive.
| The wife who condones her own
first offense in misleading her hus-
band may soon find herself sliding
down a slippery road, which ends in
her destruction. A husband may for
give, but will he forget an untruth?

no matter how dear, that would con-
I ceal the truth from him concerning

Plans for Any War.

While the war college was preparing
for campaigns in Mexico 1t was not for
getting the possibility of campaigns
elsewhere and of possible defensive
campaigns in Panama and on the west
coast Of the United States. OF course
It will be readily understood what
country the war college men bad in
mind when they were discussing plans
for the protection of the country west
of the Rockies and the Isthmus Of
Panama against attack.
1t is fact that today, If the United
States should be thrown into war with
England, with Germany, with France,
with Italy, with Russia, with Japan, or
with any other country, plans instantly
would be Forthcoming from the war
college for the conducting OF such land
operations as might be necessary. The
naval war college would produce its
sea fighting plans and 1t would be
found that no matter what nation,
small or great, had made the declara-
ton Of war, there would be ready a
complete scheme of operations often
sive and defensive for use by the Uni
ted States land and naval forces.

Much Like scotrs plans.

1t may seem a curious thing, out
the plans for campaignfn in Mexico
In a general way were those which
were adopted by Scott and by Taylor
in the Mexican war OF the late forties.
This is the more peculiar perhaps be-
cause the entire system of fighting
has changed since the Scott days, the
greatest change having come within
the last twenty years. Army men say
that General Scott was fine strate-
gist and that moreover he was an
adept at discovering the lines of
least resistance for an effective cam
paign.
An army going from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City today would follow the
line of march that Scott took. No
better route has been found notwith-
standing the fact that modern weap-
ons and the open order method OF
fighting change tactics as necessarily
as they must change some forms of
strategy.
It is understood that the plans which
the war colleges prepared for trouble
In Mexico also include a scheme for
northern campaign much like that
which was put into operation by Gen
eral Taylor, who fought so successful
ly against the Mex1cans and who won
one battle with an army of 5000 men
pitted against an army of 10000 men
under the greatest military leader, per
haps, that Mexico ever produced.
