PEOPLE WITHOUT
 ANY SENTIMENT
What is love, that all the world Talks so much about it? What is love, that neither you Nor I can do without it ?''

God pity those who affect to sheer and ridicule sentiment-tl1at pure, ten der emition which is the pivot of the worlds happiness
 If the parents of those who scoff at love had not looked and been attracted to each other, courted and wed, the scoffer would not have been here to cast his slurs upon affection. That there should be a magnetic force to bring together hearts intended for each other should not be disputed. The most profound thinkers in every age have recognized the worth of senti- ment and voiced their conviction in words that ring true and find an echo in uncal1oused hearts.
 The following are pearls of thought which make sentiment divine: "The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a wo- mans heart: ''The gate of heaven is Love, there is none other''; s'It is pos sible that man can be so changed by love that one could not recognize him to be the same person.; Love does not spring up and grow great and per feet all at once, but requires time and of thought; As in friendship, so in love; we're often hap pier from ignorance tEan from knowl- edge; There comes a time when the souls of human beings, women more even than men, begin to faint for the atmosphere of the affections they are made to breathe; Let us love so we'll our work shall be the sweeter for our love-; "A happiness that is quite un- disturbed becomes tiresome We must have ups and downs. The difficulties which are mingled with love awaken passion and inspire heart pleasure; Life together, death apart, two bod ies, one heart, that is love.
 Two hearts are made, the angels say,
 To suit@each other dearly;
 But each one takes a. different way,
 A way not found so clearly.
 Yet, though we seek and seek for
 years
 The pains are worth the taking; For what the love of home endears
 Like hearts of angel making? Then haste and guard the treasure For there's a heart for every one
 If everyone could find it''
 It would seem that love brings to some hearts what is felt as tinge of sorrow and to others constant glad ness. Betrothal time is perhaps one of the happiest periods of two hearts. The course of true love runs smoothly then, with but few exceptions, while sighted sweetheart is a mortifying happening, suPjecting her to ridieule Instead of undying love. The wonder Is that love can ever change within two hearts which seem only to beat for each other while life lasts.
 Life is sweet and love too precious to waste or lose. No griefNequa.ls part ing from one-time devotion; no, pain harder to undergo; for it is com plaint that seemingly has no cure.
 All girls should beware of incon- stant lovers, who Break the bonds of loyal love rutnlessly, unpardonab1y, Without regard to heartaches or cruel after memories. Men who have the sterling qualities of honor, honesty in their hearts and reverence for. women win deserved confidence, friendship, which ripens into pure love and un- broken happiness for hearts

THE WIND AND
 THE GYPSY MOTH
Larvae of the Pest are Blown Con- siderable Distances into Previously Uninfested Territory.

That the wind is chiefly responsi-
 ble for the general spread of the gip- sy moth in New England is the con clusion reached as the result of an investigation carried on by the De- partment of Agriculture in 1918 and 1914, the report of which has just been published as Bulletin Mo- ara. EIt has been found that in the last
 forty years the pest has gained an average of miles a year toward the
 Northeast in consequence of the southwest winds which prevail in New England during the season most
 favorable for the imitation of the. moth larvae. To the northward.
 the gain has been at the rate of 2 1-2 miles per year, while in other direc- tfons the spread has been slower.
 To prevent this spread continuing the badly infested areas near the bor- der, says the report, must be brought under control. This can be accom- plished either by natural enemies or by hand methods, or by both. In the infested territory, it's natural enc mics are now performing important services The quarantine on lumber products, Christmas trees, nursery stock, and stone from the infested territory is also, it is believed, an ef- ficient precaution against the spread of the pest into other sections of the United States. The necessity for hand work on the borders of the infested area is, however, emphasized by the, evidence of the great part that the wind plays in disseminating the lar vac. The maximum distance that it is known larvae have been carried by the wind is 13 1-2 miles. It is prob able, however, that there are unre- corded instances in which this record has been exceeded.

ESCORTED BY YOUNG
 MAN UNCHAPERONED
Dear Miss Lib'bey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Is it all right for a girl of 1T to go bathing at the seashore with a young
 man of IS or 20 provided there are other boys and girls besides a Inatron along? Is 17 too young to go to par festivals with a young man without. chaperone? Kindly advise constant reader.
 I'M
 Sea bathing where there is a crowd is usually proper with a matron there. Seventeen is young to go to parties and amusements with a young man. Your chaperone should be invited. Then merry times will be enjoyed by adding three or more friends.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop IL or go and help
to put out the fire? It is much the
same way with cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to sup
press it than to stop f1re bell when
it is ringing, but should cure the di-
sease that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Many have used itwith the most BEN
eficial results. 1t is especially val
liable for the persistent cough that
so often follows a bad cold or an at
tack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beech
ing, Andrews, Ind, writes: During
the winter my husband takes cold
,asily and coughs and coughs. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best
medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to take

Diversity OF Farm Entefprisses.


In most cases where studies on the
profits in farming have been made,
particularly in our Oldest agricul-
tural districts, such studies indicate
that the most successful farms are
those which have from two to four
major sources of income; i. e., they
have well-balanced and diversified
business. In certain instances it
may pay better to have only one en-
terprise but usually when one crop
pays much better than all others the
production of it increases rapidly and
soon the price falls to the point
where other crops or products are
equally as profitable Diversified
farming is often confused with farm
ing where there is little of every
thing and not much of anything.
Either extreme lessons the chance of
success. When the price of certain
crops, is very low then live stock usu-
ally becomes desirable. However,
if the returns per animal are poor,
cash crops even at low price are es-
sential. A well-balanced business
ENSURES against losses and provides a
much better utilization of the labor
and equipment.

Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
toms annual report, places an esti
mate of So, 873, 900, 900 on the val,
ne of American farm crops and
animal products for last year, a
valuation without precedent. This
however, probably will be eclipsed
by the present years showing.
This valuation is an increase of
about $50, 1000, 900 over the value
of 1918, hitherto the highest ever
recorded. The increase occurred in
the face of a decline in cotton from
1875 cents pound for the 1913
crop to an average of 7.3 cents for
1914. The total value of the 1918
cotton crop, estimated at 1916, OOO,-

Christendom. A season when
kindliness and good cheer prevails
as at no other time, when the
world seems to suddenly grow bet

at any other time.
Holiday happiness and good will
are expressed in innumerable ways,
the warm handclasp, the CHEEKY
word, the sending of gifts, the
true value of which lies in the
sincerity of the feeling the act or
gift represents.

sincerity, with joy in the heart and
feeling of 'sgood will toward

bright and merry Christmas, it is
with the hope it may mean more to
them than a mere day off, or the
