wheat crop seems to be just as liable tc
fail as New York dry goods store.
One young farmer I met told me he
had not had a crop for FIVE years and he
was as cheerful about it. as though he
had drawn prize in a lottery.
How long have you been farming "
asked.
Five years. he answered.
Then you haven't had crop at ALP
mo. not yet; but I'm going to have a
whale of a one this year. I thought I'd
have a big one last year. The wheat
came up good and started to head fine
but then in the section where I was
along came a drought and so. of course,
I gave it up and couldn't expect any
crop. You have got to be reasonable,
you know"
How about the year before?"
"Oh, there was a hailstorm then that
came along and killed it,
And three years ago?'
Let me see-three years ago. Oh, yes,
that was rust spoiled the crop then. To-

This Is as interesting as it is varied.
The same thing seems never to happen
twice. Do you recall the ailment of the
year preceding the rust trouble?'
Sure: the crop fell that year. You
see, it had headed out heavy and I was
looking for a big cleanup when along

Now. as to your first year. Do you
remember whether 1t was fire, water or
sudden death that happened to come
along and asked you to be reasonable?'
You bet I remember that all right. It
wasn't either. It was wind. I'd Just got
the crop In when a cyclone came swoop-
ing down and carried all the seed and
the whole shooting match up to the
north pole somewhere. OF course. I
couldn't complain, for that was an act Of
God, as they say. and nothing that could
be helped I shouldn't kick anyway. for
I have only a small farm. Just a quarter

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 want your opinion on this question: Do you think after one has had as fine a girl as ever lived and engaged to marry her and just before the date set, she gets sick and dies. do you think that vacant place can ever be filled by another? She was my first love, and have traveled over big part of Kan sas, Missouri. Nebraska, Minnesota, Dakota and several other States, but have never found one that would fill that vacant place. I will not write more May I see your answer to my question2 Hoping you will give me your advice.

 While grief over one. loved with all ones heart and lost, is fresh it is but natural to believe al joy in life is over; but time, that wonderful healer, teaches us that it is better to look for ward to the future and hope than t3 look backward over the past and mourn. Grief will not bring ,back the treasure that has, slipped from your clasp. The past is in the. eternal past It is cruel to the faithful heart in your bosom to eat it out with grief that canot help-but must injure you.
