eastern market. If the experiment
works out successfully it may be dupli-

where land is cheap and the soil suit
able for grazing
There is no likelihood, however, that
the eastern States will get back into
the livestock business ON scale large
enough to have any important effect on
the supply of meat, because areas are SO
limited in comparison with the vast
western AGRICULTURAL domain and cost
or production is so much greater than
the western cost. Iowa alone produces
more than ~ times as much corn as all
or new England, and 1t takes corn TO
max" good beef.
The price Of beef in this country Is
high enough to attract an occasional

WHAT LOVE IS7

Love" writes the editor of an
Eastern paper, "Is at first an il
fusion and then a delusion. f."
We can't remember Just who
this editor is, nor in what paper
the quotation appeared, but we Il
bet our Sunday-go-to-m
boiled shirt that he walks back
wards and that instead of good
red blood there flows through his
veins the sourest of Vinegar.
Prabably somewhere back in
his purple, palpitating past there
was a girl who passed him by
and married the other fellow, and
ever since the carking canker of
crabbedness has been eating a.
way at that which once beat as
his heart.
Love delusionl
BY all the golden, sunny ring
lets on the brow of Cupid, by all
the sweet lips that ever pucker-
ed into a rosebud to receive the
kiss of "a lover, We swear that
love is no delusion.
Does a delusion make the world
go 'roundf Is the blue sky an
illusi0n7
Is it AN illusion when our car
dlac pumping station goes all a.
flntter at the soft-whispered
words of the sweetest girl God
ever madei
Is it an illusion when we thrill
in every nerve ii tiny, soft, vel
yety hand chances to linger, Just
for an instant, in ours, as we look
into "a pair OF eyes whose limpid
depths make the profundity OF
the ocean seem shallow as a mud
puddlel
Is il an illusion when the very
marrow in our spinal column
freezes il we hear that THE"
girl has date with another fell
lOwf
Is il an illusion when the
buries her face behind the lapel
OF our coat, shyly mods her little
head and answers yes" when
We ask her the greatest question
in the worldi Is iti Is it.
We should say MOTT
Love is the concentrated es-
senee of goodness, sprinkled upon
the tender petals of a crystalized
violet. 1t comes sky-hooting
down from the high heavens ON
a mellow moonbeam, entwines It's
silken tendrils about your flut-
tering heart until your breath
comes in short, quick, ecstatic
gasps and your soul just seems to
float away on a billow of sea
foam to- the Island OF Rosebuds
and Orange Blossoms.
Love an illusion9
1t is NOT. And believe me,
We know.
We've tried it often enough.
