Dicks roses which he sent me this
afternoon were the only thing which
made my little rooms perfect.
When l heard my husband come
along the hall from the elevator my
heart beat just as though we were
not almost old married folks, and as
l opened the door l felt my cheeks
grow hot with blush of welcome.
T. well, well, Mrs. Waverly" said
Dick, teasingly, that's the first time
l have seen blush upon your lovely
face since we were married"
Then, with mock solemnity, he
said: Aren't you going to invite me
into your parlor, Mrs. Spider?" (Dick
is always calling me queer names.)
I'll bet as soon as l get in you will
not tell me that the rooms are not
quite furnished yet and that you must
have more money to make them pre-
sentable.'
That's where you are mistaken in
your foolish buzzing, poor little Mr..
Fly" L returned They are entirely
done -as pretty as l, can make them
and have money left"
THAT is more than l have" said
Dick, almost to himself. Il forgot to
turn in my expense account this
morning"
Then he stepped through the door
and 1 watched his face. He was de-
lighted.

one could make room look so

of the inscription over the fireplace
and just grabbed me to him and said:
''It is a little place called Paradise.

Iwant to say right now that any man
who has had a woman like you love

described to him."

dinner served up here?"
That's bully idea," shouted
Dick. Lets have great big beef
steak"
1 laughed and he asked quickly:
whats the matter now?"
did it ever occur to you, Dick,
dear, that you always ordered beef
steak?"
Don't you like it," was Dicks
somewhat surprised question.
Eyes, dearest, but don't think l
like it so well that could live on it."
Well. what will we have?" said
Dick, in puzzled voice.
Anything, dear" answered.
do you like roast. beef?" he again
asked, and 1 had to laugh again at
the idea of a man asking his wife
such a question after they had been
married as long as we had. Fortu-
nately, like almost everything to

anything that Dick has ordered.

devil, Margie," he said, ''but most
men are thoughtless. You must or

And SO l duplicated that order
which we had at our ''reaP' wedding
supper-and it was beefsteak.
Just like every other woman |
would have eaten saWdust and be
filled If knew Dick was fond of it,
provided he asked me to order the
dinner and showed signs of deferring
to my taste.

SELECTING SEED 0 R
Early Selection From the Hill Has Inn
portant Advantages.

Early Selection From the Hill Has I'm.
portant Advantages.
Hill selection of seed is urged by
every institution interested in the inn
provement Of corn. BY selecting corn
from the standing stalks in the field
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself. The height of the ear
on the stalk and the strength Of the
stalk may both be considered. and
whether OF not the ear grew on a stalk
that had the whole hill to itself or had
to compete with two or three other
stalks can be determined. while if one
waits until the corn has been cut these
factors cannot be considered.
While the large, heavy ears are de-
sirable, n cannot probably select
them at the expense of maturity. be-
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an Improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger OF the corn being injured
by frost while it is still damp in the
husk. 1t also allows for ample time
for the corn to become thoroughly
dried out before freezing weather.

CERTAINLY the map of Europe will be changed as a result Of war.
Just how it is impossible to foretell. l AN SURE 1T WILL
BE THE LAST GREAT WAR. War is getting to be an i'm
possibility. The instruments of war have reached such a state of eff
cheney that nearly all the men of both armies-vctor and vanquished-
will be killed in the battle.
THIS WAR. As YOUR GENERAL MILES PRoPHEsED, WILL BE THE
LAST FOR ANOTHER, A BIGGER REASON. IT WILL BE so TERRIBLE,
so HORRIBLE, so AWFUL THAT THE WORLDS CONSCIENCE WILL BE
REUSED TO A POINT THAT WILL NEVER PERMIT ITS REPETITION
OR ANYTHING LIKE IT. ONE HAS ONLY TO TAKE A CASUAL SURVEY
OF THE PROBABILITIES TO REALIZE HOW AWFUL IT WILL BE. ENG.
LANDS MILLIONS MAY sTARvE BECAUSE HER FOOD SUPPLY MAY
BE SHUT OFF. SHE CANNOT FEED HERSELF. HER FACILITIES UN.
DER BLOCKADE MAY LAST ONLY A WEEK; CERTAINLY NOT MORE
THAN A MONTH.
Worlds workers will be killed in numbers never before conceived Of
in warfare: business must suspend; property will be devastated, and so
the horrors will pile up. And what will the war be about? There is
practically nothing for any country to gain. 1t is simply a question Of
racial jealousies finding expression. BELIEVE THE WAR WILL
BE TOO TERRIBLE TO LAST LONG. though is to actual time I
could not hazard even Il guess.

SOME BEE WISDOM.

Bookkeeping is fast becoming the bust.
ness Of the specialist, and the mum.
Der of men who devote their entire at.
tention to the business is rapidly in.
creasing. However. there is no reason
why the average farmer cannot keep a
few colonies Of bees to supply honey
for home consumption. with perhaps
some surplus for sale in good years.
In moving swarms Of bees long dis
tances as much care as possible should
be taken to prevent sharp jars and
humping. This can perhaps be best
prevented by Grating with as much OK.
celsior or other padding between the
hives and outer casing as possible.
The United States department OF az
r%iculture attributes most Of the report
ed decrease to the brood diseases of
bees which are now found widely dis
tributed in the United States. The de
partment has knowledge of these dis.
eases in about 20 per cent Of all coun-
ties in the United States. Where dis
ease exists ~beekeepers often lose colo
MES and attribute their loss to some
other cause. Because Of these facts
the department advises persons inter
ested in bees to inform themselves con.
corning these diseases. 1t is uuite pos.
sible to keep bees with profit with dis.
ease prevalent In the neighborhood pro-
vtded the beekeeper knows o to
treat the disease.

taken from an old mower. The short
end Of the chute is provided with two
strong iron hooks which are sharpened
SO as to engage the bottom of the
