A Trnioue Scarecrow.

Farm and Fireside, the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
o., has been offering prizes for the
best letters describing successful
scarecrows for the orchard and pouT=
try yard. In the current issue a num-
Der of suggestions are published. One
contributor describes, as follows, a
successful scarecrow of new and
original kind:
"a form Of scarecrow originated
last year by. a Connecticut gardener
is in striking contrast to the old var
iety that with every breeze waves a
maudlin greeting tot the passer-by. To
save his strawberries from the de-
vastation OF ravenous birds this gar
dener cut into three-foot lengths a
garden hose and scattered the pieces
through his bed Of berry plants.
"As a result tie birds left his ber-
ries severely alone, and he has a
theory that it was because the birds
thoughts the hose to be snakes. To an
unprejudiced mind it seems equally
probable that they avoided the berry
patch because the pieces OF hose
were an unaccustomed sight in that
place, and hence something to be
wary Of. But after all, why they were
afraid is Of little Importance compared
with the fact that the experiment was
a decided success and that the berries
were not harmful"

OId Aee Can Re Cnred.

Old age can be cured. The prescrip-
ton is a simple one: mix open air
and hobby, shake well, and take as
many hours a day as possible, says
Samuel Scoville, Jr., in June Lippin-
colts. No one begins to age until he
is bored, and the first gray hair comes
when man suddenly thinks to him
What's the use" Then is the time
when a hobby makes life interesting
again.

ConnseI for Inna Rrian.

This is the month OF marriages.
Many young girls are going into matri-
mOny head-tirst. It is question
whether they will land on their feet.
The following advice from the editor
OF Pictorial Review will guide them:
Among my friends is a man whose
married life is SO happy that all who
know him comment on the fact. Yet
this man tells me that the first six
months OF marriage was veritable
nell upon earth for both him and his
wife. His bride had been petted and
spoiled by family and friends. She
expected Mr.. Young Husband to con-
tInue the agreeable process, no matter
how much 1t interfered with his bust
ness or how tired he was when he
came home. She expected him to be
heroic figure at his humble task Of
supporting her and their home.
But he never had been an impas-
stoned lover, and he was not exactly
a heroic figure in his chosen profess
sion. When his bride discovered that
he was common clay, she had to tell
him how disappointed she was. Once
she went even further and told him
she could not understand how she had
been SO blind as to marry man who
did not share single one other tastes
and ambitions! Then Mr.. Young Hus-
band talked back. He said she had had
ample time during a two years. en-
gagement to discover his short com
ings. He had never posed nor mas
queraded.
On this occasion some sbarp
speeches were exchanged, but never
theless what the husband said must
have sunk deep into his wife's heart
for soon afterward, she came to him
to talk it over" She had learned
where all the trouble lay. She had
found the cause of all the unpleasant
scenes which were slowly but surely
undermining their marital happiness.
She had been trying to make her hus-
band fit her ideals, instead of fitting
her ideals to her husband.
The average girl idealizes the man
she loves too much for her good and
his. She endows him with qualities
picked at random from books and
plays. She decides, in an entirely
feminine and inconsistent fashion,
that he is what she would have him
be, and when he refuses to climb upon
her self-erected pedestal, she does one
of two things-informs him that he is
not the man she thought he was, or
she fits her ideals to the man she has
married
And the last is not hard thing to
DO. If only young wives would earnest
~ try to uncover the true attitude
of the men they have married toward
marriage, toward love, toward par
enthood, there would be less marital
discord, less marital wrecks strewn
along the coast of contentment. It's
not easy to make man over, even,
through love, but it is easy to bring
out the better side of his nature-just
by fitting your ideals to him. He
wants to live up to the best in him
self. 1t is not always possible for him
to live up to the ideals you have
chosen to endow him with.
But give him chance. Start with
your marriage day! Realize that to
him marriage is Just as sacred. Just
as romantic as it is to you. Then,
having married him, believe that the
real man you find can make you fully
as happy as the dream man you
walked with during those wonderful
days OF wooing and winning!

men from which to draw in attacks
on Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes and
Cuadalajara.
The little village of Ojinaga is a
wreck from its recent bombardment,
but General Villa has ordered it put
in condition. According to general
Ortega, no military executions have
occurred. Only 1000 rebels occupied
the houses. Others are scattered over
the country on foragng expeditions.
About 5000 have already been sent to-
