love letters and having my sufferings

Which he does, for it is a curious
feminine phenomenon that the women
who tell you how much they are ad-
mired are never able to produce the
goods, and those who proclaim from
the housetops how frantically they are
sought in marriage by the most eligi-
bic man in the community never get
married.
A Vulgar Proceeding
Nothing else in the world is so vul-
gar and silly as Boosting girls and this
is particularly idiotic and in bad taste
, in matters of heart. If you are a
charmer whom none can resist, the
people about you will find it out fol-
themselves. You won't need to gel
out your trumpet and blow it to APP
prise them of the fact.
On the other hand, if you have none
of the siren qualities, but are one Of
the women that men pass over, you
merely call attention to your lack Of
attractions by your fairy tales of 70.

You make yourself ridiculous wher
you accuse men of having been in love
with you who have never sent sin
gle sentimental thought in your di
rection, but you are dishonorable wher
you betray the condolences of mar
who has really loved you by telling
anyone about it.
When a man asks woman to mar
ry him he has paid her the Creates
compliment in his power. When HI
shows her his love for her he strips
his very soul bare for her gaze, anC
she should feel that she has been priv
ileged to look at something so sacred
and so holy that it can never even b.
mentioned again. And it is unthink
able that she should make it a sub
ject for boasting.
Therefore, never brag of your con
quests, girls. 1t is bad feeling, bat
taste, and bad luck.-Selected.

EXHIBITING FARM PRODUCTS

The Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture announces publication of a
68-page bulletin on agricultural Ex-
hibits and Institutes"
1t meets a statewide need for a
handbook on preparing and exhibit
ing agricultural products and farm
animals at State, county and town
ship fairs, home products shows, To-
calls displays and farmers meetings.
Written by Samuel M. Jordan, who
has had as much to do with such work
as any one man in the middle west,
this bulletin is summary of practi-
cal experiences.
Mr.. Jordan begins with the ways
and means, the nows and wherefores
of the first meeting, following with
the preliminary organization, then
the Permanent form, the selection of
officers, appointment Of committees,
and the work itself. He discusses
contests, fairs and exhibits, citing the
good and bad in premiums and cata-
logs, suggesting time-tested arrange
ments that do not "kick back"
The rules and regulations are free
of "red tape, and are simple. Adopt
ed and followed, displays will occupy
less space, show to better advantage
and can be judged more correctly

SPRAY YOUR APPLE TREES

Summer spraying is essential in
the production of first-class apples.
Unsprayed fruit is usually scabby
and very often shows injury from cod
ling moth or curculio. Wormy or di-
seased fruit has poor keeping quail
ties. Thus in order to have fresh APP
Piles during the winter months it is
necessary to practice summer spray
ing.
Spraying consists Of applying to
the growing fruit and leaves some
substance which will either kill or
prevent the growth of the insects and
disease spores. Some form Of arse
mic is used to kill the insects, lead ar
senate being the most common form.
1t may be purchased at local drug
stores and costs from ten to twenty
five cents pound. Sulphur is very
effective in preventing the develop
ment of apple scab and other fungus
diseases since disease spores cannot
develop in its presence. This sub
stance in the form of concentrated
lime sulphur may be purchased from
companies handling spray supplies
and in small lots will cost about fif-
teen cents per gallon.
J The spraying schedule recommended
on the basis of the tests and expert
ence of the Missouri Agricultural Elk.
pertinent Station calls for three sprays
during the season. The first to be
most effective against the apple scat
should have been applied just before
the blossoms opened. This spray Of
lime sulphur at the rate Of three gal.
Ions of commercial mixture to 10C

sary in dry seasons because scab car

The second spray applied just af,
ter the blossoms fall is most impor.
tant and should be applied ever
though the first was not. 1t is made
by mixing three gallons of CONNER.
cial lime sulphur and five pounds leat
arsenate paste with one hundred gal
Ions of water. Since the lead arsenats
and the lime sulphur are placed in thu
same solution, one spraying is suffi
cient to apply both substances. This
spray serves as a further protection
against the scab but its greatest value
comes through its effect upon the cod
ling moth and curculio. Enough poi
son clings to the surface of the apple
so that these insects are killed before
they have done much injury. Seri
Gus injury comes only from the full
development of the codling moth o.
"apple worm" The sting of the cur
culio causes apples to grow in de
formed shapes and although this ma!
not materially lower the keeping
quality, yet very often "sting" ma!
serve as place of entrance for SOM
rot and thus be the indirect means O.
causing decay.
The third spray follows the SECOND
after an interval of ten days or tive
weeks but this application is not 81
important as the preceding one. TIL,
solution is made by using gallons o.
lime sulphur and pounds of lead ar
senate paste to 100 gallons of water
1t is effective against both insects anC
diseases.
| If apple blotch or bitter rot arr
present, some later applications ma!
be necessary but these are given onll
in special cases.-C. c. Wiggans, Mis-

There are a great many girls who
think that they add to their prestige
by boasting of their conquests among
men. To hear girl of this kind talk
you would think that she is a heart
smasher that no man can resist, and
that there are rows upon rows OF mil
lionaires down on their knees implor-
ing her TO marry them.
This type of girl thinks that she's
making other girls green with envy
and jealousy when she relates the
story Of her conquests, and that she
makes every man just mad to marry
her at once, and snatch her away from
those hated rivals who are also dying
to capture her.
That's the way the girl pictures i
in her imagination, but it doesn't
work out that way in real life. The
other girls are not filled with envy
They are filled with mirth and ridi-
cule, and they say to each other that

afternoon in Bismarck and addressed
the Commercial Club of that progress

branch school in Bismarck, and at this
writing, committees having the solic-
itation of scholarship to meet ex-
penses, report that there is virtually
no doubt whatever that the PROPOSE

interest in this school proposition and
general progressive spirit shown in
the matter.
Miss Hitzman found it necessary to
spend few days the latter part OF
this week at her home in Bismarck.

Approximately IS per cent of the
losses of cattle on the National For
est ranges due to poisonous plants is
caused by tall larkspur. Death CAM
as, lupine, laurel, sneeze weed, and
rubber weed are responsible for sheep
losses from such cause, while loco
weed is the principal poisonous plant
affecting horses. Last year the loss
from these causes amounted TO about
100000.

That wild burrows in the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado are increasing
rapidly is the report from a ranger
on the Tusayan National Forest, who
says the little animals in their search
for forage are finding their way TO
the top in such numbers as to consti-
tue a nuisance. Already there are
thousands of the animate in the Grand
Canyon from Supai to the mouth of
the Little Colorado, according to the
forest ranger.

New Mexico official reports show
that 360,325 cattle and 1,219,762 sheep
were shipped out of that state in
1915. Most of this stock was grazed

ALLIES FORCE NEW

Transport Troops Across PENN.

Constantine.

French afr Aotillas bombarded
enemy camps at Strumnitza and
Bogantizi yesterday.

LONDON. April 17.-Deoisive steps by
the allies have forced a new crisis at
Athens. with the possibility that Greece
may ind herself thrust into the war
against her will.
Overriding the objections Of the Greek
government the allies have begun trans
porting Serbian troops overland by rail
from Corfu to salonlki. The Austrian
and German governments. according to
Athens dispatches today, protested sew
il as a deliberately unfriendiy act Il
Greece permitted this troop movement.
French correspondents at Athens re-
port that King Constantine is ineensed
at the action OF the allies, and may at-
tempt to stop the transportation OF Ser
blan troops by show or arms.
The allies did not want to transport
the newly-eQuipped Serbian army from
the Island of Corfu to saloniki by water
German submarines. They, therefore,
suggested to Premier Skouloudis that
the Serbian troops be sent to Patras by
steamer and then transported by rail.
The Greek prime minister sounded
out the German and Austrian min
listers on this suggestion. They tele-
graphed their governments and receiv-
ed immediate replies that both Ger
Greece had overstepped the bounds OF
neutrality II she acquiessed in the
allies suggestion.
This Information was at once com.
municated to the ministers OF the
allies. Premier Skouloudis added that
Serbian troops would have to pass
through firaeus. the port OF Athens.
In movement by rail and that their
presence near the capital might in
neme the people to violent demonstra-

yhe allies. however. proceeded with
their Arrangements, and the first Ser
bian detachment to be landed at Patria
reached Saloniki on Saturday.
