HOW He Won RUTH

strident voice.
The tones echoed blatantly over the
village green. For over half an hour
q wandering medicine fakir had been
descanting upon his nostrums to a
curious crowd who drank in his big
words and amazing statements.
Snug, rotund, lingering on the out
skirts Of the crowd, John Moore
smiled complacently to himself.
None of that in mel" he chuckled.

A thin dyspeptic man stepped up
and purchased bottle Of the much
mooted elixir of life. Then, despite
some further forcib,e talk of the VEN
der, sales went slow. He began to
traverse more explicit lines. He
painted dismal picture o: Ill health.
AS symptom after symptom was
named, with a proud and positive
smile John Moore kept tab on them.

physician seemed inclined to renew
the acquaintanceship and Ruth was
glad to realize It.
Two days later Mr.. Moore changed
his mind. He would see Doctor Par
ton. It was q reluctant direction he
gave for his presence and when tho
young physician arrived he received
q decidedly chill and sulky greet
ing.

man bluntly. Il have got fatal dis

What is the remedy?" inquired Doc
tor Parton. Now he had seen Ruth
only the evening previous. He had
told her that he considered that her
father was more scared than Ill. Ruth
had told of the symptoms" her father
had described and the doctor had
smiled to himself.

Very well. if 1t costs up to five

sisted the invalid"
And then the doctor was so induk
gent that Moore agreed to allow him
to examine the dreadful "prickly"
spot. Sure enough. when the doctor
pressed it Moore uttered frightful
howl of pain. The doctor, too, caught
a sharp stab in the finger. He smiled
queerly

When the young physician appeared
as promised, with an impressive air
he placed little phial done up In
elaborate coverings of cotton, silk
and metal. OF course this was the

To this Moore agreed. Once he was
under the influence of the drug, the
doctor took out tiny pair of surgica
pincers. He pressed the jaws of the
instrument to the center of the all

Now, Mr.. Editor, this seems
to be a solution to the high cost
Of living, an avowed confession
by the great head Of the feml-
nine sex-that they have pur-
posely been very extravaganza IN
their mode Of living. 1t is a
conceded fact that they are poor
fnanciers, and when they be-
come wives they follow the
teachings of their cunning pre-
decessors in the art Of pleasing
their better halves.
It is said that most men Will
90 broke on their stomachs, and
most women will go broke on
their appearances. The once
famous statesman and humorist,
Bob Taylor, said in one OF his
lectures that THE road to mans
heart was through his stomach,
and at a meeting of one of these
Housewives League a discussion
arose as what was the best way
to please a husband. After va
rious plans were advanced and
discussed by quite a number OF
the members, a wee bit OF a
wife, who seemed to be mute on
the subject up to this time, was
called upon by the chairman to
give her version Of this impor-
tant question; she very calmly
rose and in all seriousness re-
marked my plan is to feed the

The question now arises in my
mind as to whether the fastldl-
Gus brute will consent to a re-
duction of rations, or to the
simple" mode of living as sug-
gested by the National League
of Housewives; will the wives
consent to do away with the
fashion plates and costly fabrics

time wardrobe? There is no
doubt that if the timely warn
ling of the National Housewives
League would be adhered to-
not only in time of war, but ir
time of peace, the much per-
picked question of the high cost
of living which has taxed the

FARMERS TO GET TOP
PRICES FOR CORN
Care Should Be Taken In
Harvesting Crop So AS
To Get Best Price.

III NV DN1O
Successfully Produce Com.
pany, one of the biggest corn
buying firm in Southwest Louis
lana, is making every prepare
ton necessary to secure the
corn growers of this section the
top market price. Mr.. Stokes
manager of the firm, has had
wide experience in this line and
is of the opinion that if the corn
growers, when harvesting the
crop, would separate their Wag-
ons into two portions, one for
the good corn and one for the
nubbins, a much better price can
be obtained.
The company recently received
a letter from the Wilson Grain
Company of Natchidoches, Tex
as, which company Mr.. Stokes
represents in this section OF the
state; the Texas firm is depend
ing a great deal on Louisiana
for it's corn, as the Texas crop IS
very poor and it consequently
will pay much higher prices than
corn growers in st. Landry have
heretofore been receiving.
The letter received by the
Successfully Co. might prove OF
great interest to those who in
tend selling their surplus corn:
I'VE wish to appeal to you to
adopt such measures as are nee
essary to insure better inspec-
ton and better service Oh corn.
IF your corn is properly han
died and only the best dry mer-
charitable stock marketed, you
could get a much better price foi
it, as the consumers in Texas are
liberal in their patronage te
those that merit it, and it If
needless to point out the conf
dence that naturally follows thu
receipt Of a shipment of corr
that is satisfactory in every par
ticular.
The prospects for corn II
Texas are very poor at this writ
ing, and if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made to insure oul
getting the exact quality ant

you the coming season.
It is expected that st. Landr,
farmers will ship seversl car
loads of corn this season, ever
more than last year, and tina
they will receive top marke'
prices.
Corn growers are warned tina
the proper harvesting and han
ding of the corn crop is most es.
sential for the demand of a gooc
price; if the st. Landry farmers
choose the best corn for exporta'
ton, keeping the nubbins for
their own use it is evident that
they will receive much better
prices for their goods, than if
