VALENTINE TIME.
Dear Miss Qibbev:.

Dear Miss Iibbey:-
I am a young lady of %, and greatly
admire a young minister who has
lately come in our midst I received
a handsome New Years card contain
ing a very sentimental and beautiful
verse. No name or initials accompa-
MED it. I cannot think who it could
come from if not from him. I often
catch his eye resting on me while he
is preaching. Now what want to
know is would it be proper for me to
send him a valentine when February
IA rolls around, signing my name to il?
EDITH H.
It would not be arraiss to send the
young minister a valentine, but be
sure to select one idealizing friend
ship, or something of that kind. Be
sure that it odes not suggest love in
any shape or form, that you might
not feel embarrassed to learn your
sentimental card came from another
source. Be careful, too, about jump
ing at the conclusion you have cap
tured the ministerial heart. There's
probably a score of other girls in his
congregation thinking the same thing.

A TOO-HAsTY PROPOSAL.
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear MISS LlDDey:-
I am a man in a serious dilemma
Here's the whole story; While at a.
ball on Christmas eve, I was intro
duced to a very pretty girl who had
accompanied a crowd of young folks
there expecting to go home the same
way. I induced her to permit me to
escort her home, which she did Our
route lay past a minister's house. On
the spur of the moment, and more in
a Jone than in earnest, I challenged
her to go in with me and get married.
To my surprise she took me at my Of
fer, and-to make a long story short
we were made man and wife then and
there. When we reached her home
and she confessed what had taken
place, there was the worst row fell
low ever got into. All my attempts to
explain were met by worse rage from
her father and mother. I'm sure I
don't want her. I don't know how
this is to turn out. I telegraphed to
my father to come on, but he has not

INTERNATIONAL EGG
LAYING CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest at
Storrs yielded 95 eggs more in the
twelfth than in the preceding week or
a total of 2,047 eggs. This is slightly
less than the yield for the correspond
ing week last year but more than
double the yield for the corresponding
period two years ago.
The White Wyand cites outdistanced
all the other 10 varieties in the com
petition and made a, clean sweep of
all first places for the week. First
honors go to P. w. Backus, Chatham,
Ontario, whose pen laid 46 eggs. Obed
G. Knights pen from Bridgeton, R. l.,
was a close second with As to, their
credit, and two English pens, namely,
Tom Barron's from Catforth, and
Abel Latham's from Brierheld tied
for third place with 40 eggs each.
Three suggestive changes occurred
during the week in the leading pens;
the birds of P. w. Backus mentioned
above are now third pen in the wy
andotte class. A. w. Rumery's pen
from DanVi11e, N. H, moved up from
third to second place in the Rhode
Island Red class, and Frank R. Han
cocks pen from Jacksonville, VT, is
third best pen in the Leghorn class.

scores of the Barred Plymouth Rocks,

this connection that the best laying
pen of Barred Rocks scored second
best as fancy fowls. Only 2 per cent.
of the birds entered were disqualified /;

whether they want to hand the mu-

crease in salary. The judges are al
ready getting $4,000.
A raise of $4,000 was handed out

Merriam reminded the council that
raises have been denied thousands Of
city employees who are making less
