along steadily to the house, If he is
stranger to the home folks, and has
an air about him of importance and
that he is desirable, he says deliberate
ly: IF you have desire to inquire
who / am, will furnish you with the
names of the best people in the town
or community where | have passed
my years"
He hardly thinks the good worthy
folks, as he has found them, will take
the trouble to search out his connec-
tions and habits, knowing how much
their dear girl thinks of him, as all
of her friends do.
This bluff having been given, they
get on tolerably we'll in their oddly
matched romance, assisted by the ap-
plause of their young admiring chums.
They like each other, and have every
confidence that their love affair is to
be smooth and all that it should be.
If they frequently have slight quarrels,
and 1t is slyly whispered that the
young man is under the influence OF
the wine cup midnights, is gay reg-
eler of sports and often falls behind III
paying his bills, those who are nearest
to their loved girl begin to 1ose con-
fidence in what he is and it is talked
over that they should break of the
match before it goes farther.
FOO often the girls are willful and
bemoan the fact that there should be
interference between them. That it
is only hearsay, and they are confident
that he is a good lover much sinned
against. Older, experienced relatives
regret causing disturbance, realizing,
that often, the more that is said
against one who is said to be unworthy
the more determined the girl becomes
to defend him and not forsake him.
Not until later does the truth come
forcibly home to them that their in
terested home folks are ever ready to
give honor to whom honor is due.
Even some of them are willing to
meet him half way in reconciliation.
If there is determined opposition,
it is lastly, because it impresses them
beyond a doubt that it is a match
wholly unffted to be made or sane
toned. While she has good, happy
disposition, his turns out to be
brusque, quick-tempered and given to
moods, to which wife would find it
very unpleasant to yield.
Thus it happens that girl may be
considered attractive and be highly re-
garded by score of young men, whom
she has known a long time, and yet
she may fail to win the confidence or
TO influence worthily the one man
whom she believes she cares most of
all for. Often her choice falls on the
last person in the world who one
would think would attract her. But
she has the tenderest of sympathy, the
outstretched hands of all who love
her, when her eyes are opened to the
truth that her confidence rs shattered
beyond reparation.

ADMIRAL OF THE AIR

The rapid expansion of the Brit
ish naval air service in the war has
made necessary its reorganization
and 1t now is under the direction of
flag officer, For the important post
of director of air service" Rear Ad-
miral Charles Lionel Vaughan-Lee
was selected, and the British public
has had to learn about another nota-
bility of whom it knew little or moth
ing before the great conflict began.
In navy circles, however, Rear
Admiral Vaughan-Lee has been well
known as an officer Of scientific at
tainments. Born in 1867 he served
as MILDLY in the Egyptian war of
1882. Like Garden and many other
sailors of his generation, he first
learned the necessity of putting cot
ton wool into his ears at the bonn
bardment of Alexandria. After be.
coming lieutenant he devoted him
self to torpedoes, and went to work
with his head as soon as he got the
chance. He has great ability and thor

A road running through Illinois has
it's trackage fringed with alfalfa.
Some farmers have resented the waste
and are beginning to cultivate the land
out to the wheel tracks This may
cause a little trouble at times, but aft
er all is it not a great deal better
than letting the roadsides grow up in
ironweeds, sumacs, briars and thick
cts?
Any of our road vehicles needs no
more than a six-foot clearance. Fig
ure out for yourself how many farm
wagons could drive abreast on a &C.
foot highway and then try to mag
inc any necessity for any such ar
rangement. On a highway one rod
in width there is room for two We
hicles to pass with about four and
one-half feet to spare. Why have
the roads, then, &C feet wide?
Some of these days our roads will
be narrowed. We have not really felt
the pinch of real land need as yet.
When we do, then there will be a
sudden narrowing of these wido
stretches that are now weed incuba-
tors and seeders. In the meanwhile
why not make some use of the soil
thanking the public highways? Why
not seed it in grass and NOW it as you
would meadow? OF course the land
belongs to the state, to the public, but
1t is worse than useless. Why not
make it give some return to some
one?

EMDEN RAIDERS ROMANCE

Captain-Lieutenant Won Muecke,
one of the heroes of the Emden, has
written pretty love story into the
concluding chapter of his adventurous
experiences, having finally returned
to Germany and at Bremen led to the
altar his old sweetheart, Fraeulein
Carla Finke.
1t was the end of the journey
which began on November 10. 1914,
when Captain Won Muecke reluctant
ly started homeward. escaping with
other members of the crew of the
Hmden when their boat was sunk in
the Indian ocean by an Australian
battleship after the Emden had de-
stroyed more than 10000 tons of Brit
ish shipping.

been sent ashore at Cocos island to
destroy the wireless station there,

OLLIE JAMES START

When Ollie James, the giant sena-

Marion at the age of sixteen, he
sought position as page in the Ken
lucky senate chamber. His imme-
date state senator promised him a
place through the good Offices of the
lieutenant governor
When the legislature assembled
young James presented himself. The
lieutenant governor declared he had
forgotten the matter entirely and had
appointed all the pages.
But" said he, Il find, in looking
them over, that they are a lot of spin

MEDICINAL PLANT SPECIALIST

Interest In the sources of our
drug supply, stimulated by the Eu-
ropean war, has brought into some
prominence one Of Uncle Sans most
useful woman employees, Miss Alice
Henkel, botanist of the bureau OF
plant industry, who has made spe-
cialty of investigations of medicinal
plants. Miss Henkels work has had
widespread influence through the
bulletins she has written. These, nine
in number, have been among the most
popular bulletins issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. In fact, they
are in such demand that many re-
prints have been made of each, and
they are classed among the best sell
ers" of the office of the superintend-
ent of documents.
One of the most popular bulletins
deals with weeds that are used in
medicine. Miss Henkel's pamphlets
