STRIKES BLOW AT ROMANCE
Legal Decision Bears Heavily on
Lovers and Gossips of the City
of Cincinnati.

According to a legal decision made
recently in Cincinnati no one may COS.
sip longer than five minutes on a
party line telephone in that city. This
decision is sure to be interpreted by
some persons as a blow to romance,
and by others as deliberate stab at
the vitals of free speech. In this fast
moving age, the telephone, especially
the party line phone, has become an
adjunct and first aid to courtship.
Anyone at all familiar with tele.
phonic counting customs knows full
we'll that anything less than 80 min
utes of gush, mush and slush over the
wire twice day is an abridgment Of
the methods of courtship as adapted
to modern ways. And if there is any
place where free speech, in the fullest,
rawest understanding of that elastic
term, has flourished like two or three
green bay trees or dandelions on q
new lawn, it is on the party line tele-
phone when neighbors undertake to
hold little gabfest thereon, starting
at half after eight and ending at half
after two unless interrupted by some
rude person-hey! get of the line,
can't yer? With decisions like that it
may come to pass that some of us will
choke for want of vent for our rivers
of language.

CHANGED FARM DEBT TO GAIN

The Farm Management Monthly IL.

North Dakota:
A number of years ago wheat
farmer, whose exclusive grain grow
Ing had put him in debt, desired from
his bank a loan of $1,000. Except the
horses, there was no live stock-not .
COW, a pig nor even a chicken-on the

man, was able to analyze the problem
and to discover the cause of the farm.
er's financial difficulties, and he agreed
to make the loan on condition that
the borrower changed his system Of
farming.
The system outlined by the banker
required that part of the loan should
be used to purchase two cows, half a
dozen pigs and a small flock Of poul'
try. 1t also provided for small-sized
vegetable garden. Grain farming was
to be continued as before. The banker
figured that the live stock and the gar
den would, in poor as we'll as in good
seasons, fully support the farmers
table. He figured that in poor years
the farmer would De able to play even,
and that in the good, and even in the
average, year the farm would produce
enough gradually to wipe out the debt.
The farmer reluctantly agreed to
the bankers terms, received the loan
and met the conditions. In five years
he was out of debt and rated as a sub
stantial and prosperous farmer and
business man To him farming had
ceased to be a game Of chance and
had become a business.

exact location of the chest containing
the money was lost, owing to the
burning of some farm buildings and
the destruction of certain marks from

gang to search for the treasure anc

Cheaper Than Cane Sugar.

The Philippines have lost some of
their prestige in the hemp industry,
but another industry is in the course
of development which promises to be
equally important These islands
abound with the nipa palm, the sap Of

in the world for the manufacture of
sugar and alcohol. After abstraction
from the stalk the sap is known as

and is produced at much lower cost,

pure, and. mixed with 10 per cent
of gasoline, it has been found to make
