Directions for Setting Traps.
Only general directions for setting
mole traps can be given here. nor nre
detailed instructions necessary, since
the makers OF traps usually furnish
specific directions for using them. A
mole trap can be successfully oper-
ated only when set on that part Of n
mole runway which is near the sur
face and has the soil raised into n
distinct ridge, ReWiy worked Freshly
broken soil usually indicates that the
tunrel is In use. When In doubt, the
operator may make n small break In
the ridge and observe whether the
mole repairs II within n few hours. In

Others, whose friendship was quite as sincere to her, should have been invited in to do their share of entertaining him. Members of the family should have considered that he was as much their company as hers" Mrs. Grundy adds: When girl has kept company Gas it is phrased) with young man for a number of years, without their wed- ding cards being started, whose fault is it-his or her's?"
 Friendship is one base for a mans calls. Love and courtship are upon
 quite a different footing. They are so wide apart that they should not touch elbows. Haven't you always noticed such men wind up by marrying de- termined woman who did not believe in spoonin~ with : a friend? If he called for the sake of friendship only then let him remain a friend. When he assumed the role of lover, he placed himself on far different plane. That meant that he should be on marriage intent. No talk of marriage, no spoon- ing.

Cow in Cabbage Patch
 Causes Women to Scrap

A cow that strayed from it's. moor fngs and wandered into a neighboring cabbage patch caused a fist fight be- tween two women and resulted in a lawsuit. The ghastly details were l1earned this morning when papers in yhe action brought by Annie Duran of Stamford against Mary Sylvester of Stamford were filed in the common pleas court.
 Annie claims that Oct. P last she was the owner of valuable COW. The animal sighed for pastures new and without consulting anybody took Grip to the Sylvester property adjoin- ing. When Annie went to look for the COW she was informed by the 1ndig- tMant Mary that there was consider able damage to be settled for.
 The two women couldn't agree upon the amount and as the arguments waxed warmer fists began to fly. Mary must have outpointed her opponent for Annie says she was assaulted by tf> defendant who scratched and beat her about the face, arms an neck. The plaintiff claims she was poisoned by the scratches. She asks $1,750 dam ages.

WHY NOT ASK THE GIRL?

J. F. R. writes: Please give me your advice on the following: I met a girl few weeks ago anad fell deeply in love with her I want to know if it would be all right to ask her to marry me if she loves me. Do you think she would wait year for me 9"
 It is merely suppoFition on your part that a girl who has met you so re- gently could be. in love with you. If you are really interested in this young lady, ask permission to call upon her. You will be able to determine after many calls whether she is kindly dis posed toward you, sufficiently to ver,- ture a proposal of marriage.

Seeks my hand in marriage, after I graduate. l am a convent girl. Gentleman left for another city. Writes of his love for me and so very often. My parents are dead. I have only my guardian. Please tell if I am to believe and trust the young militiaman. Does he truly love me as he often declares? ?''
 Do not see that you have reason to doubt his love. It is we'll for girls to be on their guard if they would wed.

HARD TO DETECT TRUE LOVE.

G. N. writes: 1T am girl Is years old and go to high school. My faith Ter and mother are well to do. I would like you to tell me how I could get a young mans friendship. He is 19 years old.''
 The cleverest way to interest young men of the present day is not to make any attempt to attract their notice. If a man once gets it into his head that a girl wants his society he is more than apt to run in the opposite direction. Men like girls hard to win. Smile and speak pleasantly when you meet, and if the young man is inter ested in you he will call without urg- ing: that is true loves way.

Of all the frivolity, there is nothing so rash as permitting man to make love when he frankly admits he is paying attention without intention; that he is not in position to marry and probably never will be. Where there is star of hope in the distance, a girl might give him the benefit Of a doubt. But when there is nothing to look forward to, rash is the woman who is willing to waste her youth time in spooning with a man who is not and will never be anything more than friend. Strangers, even friends, who have not a key to the situation have every reason to suppose that their romance will lead up to the chime of wedding bells. If not, why not? It is only the most selfish of men who would deliberately waste a woman's time under such conditions He is sure to remark, 'If the lady in the case should not object, I do not see why other folk should interest themselves in our affairs" People are interested just the same. "All the world loves a 1Over'' and delights in romance Everyone loves to hear of betrothals and marriages. When notl- ing comes of these long courtships 1t is the woman who is blamed. Mrs. Grundy whispers to her four hundred bosom friends:
 '"The girl shouldn't have gone as far as spooning when he impudently wlhis- pers of love, yet makes no mention of marriage. She shouldn't have encour- aged him, fearing he might get an- other girl. When he attempted to put

Boelke Is Dead.

Another knight Of the air has joined the
spirits of zimmerman, Navarro, Pegoud and 9TH
ers who died fighting for their native lands.
Boelke is credited with bringing down forty an
tagonists. His record is one of the best produced
by the air fighters.
The air service has developed code and ira
dition all its own. Many risks are incidental to
the work, but hostile aviators have feeling of
kindness und respect for each other which is very
marked. They will risk their lives to drop a
wreath of flowers for gallant opponent who has
been brought down. They have injected into the
war some of the old spirit of nobility and chivary
that makes interesting reading in the chronicles
that tell about the knights of olden times.
The names of famous aviators are as familiar
TO US as the names of the few great military lead
ers that have been produced in this war. 1t is
remarkable that the names of privates attached
to one branch of the service should receive as
much notice as those of the military leaders.
