Wisconsin is destined to become a
great alfalfa state. Suppose that we
had 1900, 900 acres of alfalfa returning,
as George McKerrow estimates his, not
less than $50 per acre-what an addi-
ton it would make to the value of our
farm output.

DOING COUSIN 4 FAVOR
BY MILE JEANETTE.

Early in the winter bought a taupe
hat with a plume shaded from taupe
to a vivid rose. At first liked ii very
much, but when the shaded plumes be-
gan to be common l grew tired Of it
and wished l had chosen a more ex-
elusive style, l saw a hat in a shop
window in our neighborhood that was
just what desired. AS it was marked
down on account of the lateness of the
season, was strongly tempted to buy
it, but it seemed extravaganza when
my own hat was perfectly good. Then
l thought saw chance to do Cousin
Fannie a favor.
You really need a new hat" l said
to her, "and I'll be glad'to let you have
this one, dear, at half what | paid for
it."
IF need a new one" Cousin Fannie
said, laughing in an odd way, why
should l buy your old one?"
But this Is just as good as new and
much handsomer than anything you
could find at the price," explained.
you know very well that for me it
would be quite out Of character" she
declared. I'm really surprised, Luz
Gle, that you should ask me to buy it."
The annoyance in Cousin Fannie's
tone was distinctly unpleasant tonne.

and more difficult. 1t requires a great
deal of patience and tact on my part
to live with her, despite my unfailing
good temper.
/ had almost resigned myself to
wearing the taupe hat until It was time
to get a spring one, when Arthur
Knight and George ReQuier invited
Louise Erwin and me to a little social
affair at their club. Then felt that 1
positively must dress in a manner to
do them credit. AS poor, dear Louise

went around to the little milliner's and
found that the hat / had admired was
still there. When l tried 1t on / saw
at once that 1t suited my style exactly.
But oughtn't to buy it," / sighed.
I really can't afford another hat when
this one of mine is SO perfectly good"
Its wonderfully becoming" said
the milliner. "You won't regret pick
Ing up such a bargain"
But / still hesitated. "If I could
only sell this" l said as took OF the
new hat and contemplated my old one
! moment before putting it on.
Leave 1t here and I'll do my best to
'ell 1t for you," said the milliner.
How good Of you!" / exclaimed as
opened my purse and paid for the
lew hat. / wore away my new pur-
'hase with great pleasure.
Both Arthur and George managed
o convey their appreciation of my ap-
'earance on the day Of the social az
air and / felt repaid for my effort. I

prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life OF the

A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
Of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazoned upon the

but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter Of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in.

farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un.

The rural press, the pulpit and the

take 1t home and wear it for second

Then one day / happened to meet
Carol Nodine shopping madly.

ber," she said. You know, l haven't
been In town this winter until today,
and need almost everything before l
can 90 anywhere"
IF you want hat you'd better go
to a splendid little milliner up our
way" said. "She sells perfect beau
ties at about half what you'd pay
downtown. l bought this hat there"
Really? It's charming. I'll certain
ly try her. What do you think ought
to get?"
well, suppose you know that the
taupe hats with shaded plumes are
having great run this year, and they
are awfully pretty, but l don't know
what you really need, Carol"
Ioday Betty came to our house ap-
parently with the sole purpose of tell
ing me that Carol had discovered that
the hat she bought was one that had
discarded" and that Carol is deeply
offended! 1 am sure that Carol has
no cause for complaint against me. In
