Its all wrong, Margie, all wrong"
said Mollie through her tears when
I had finished my little confession Of
the wreck of my married life.
That sounds like a caption of a
cartoon, MoIlie, - and thereat we both
laughed.
Not so bad as at first reported .
was Mollie's hopeful comment. mo
woman is completely at the tragic
end of all things if she still retains
her sense of humor. You don't hate
Dick, do you, Margie?"
mo, dear, l admire him more than
1 did when we were first married?
During the long year while I was
lying like a log he was working very
hard and trying to get that book bus
mess in shape so Mrs. Selwin and 1
could be perfectly comfortable, even
if anything should happen to him"
YES" answered Mollie. Dick
has settled down into a regular bust
ness man in the last year."
That's it, Mollie," 1 said earnest
ly. 1T may sound very foolish to
you, but one of the things that hurt
me most is that in all Dicks life
there has always been something
that he has put before me. . When
it was not another woman it was a
conViYial time with the boys, and
now that he has become interested
in the game of business I am his next
best amusement"
For a moment MOIlie was silent;
then she said: 'Margie, we women
make too much of a fetish of love
and marriage. I don't think so much
is wrong with marriage as with US
and the remnants of our mid-Vie-
torian education. Do you know,
dear, that mother and dear Aunt
Mary are good Illustrations of my
theory? Aunt Mary never had a
real ideal or a real thought that did
not cluster around Uncle John, and

DICK
fill mothers life, and so she has found
happiness in Mr. Trent, and hon
estly believe makes him happier than
she did poor old dad,
Il early found out, Margie, that
woman can love a man devOtedly and
make him perfectly miserable, and
then 1 said to myself: 'Mollie, you've
got to make a success of this bus
mess Of marriage. My first idea, Of
course, was children, and my great
disappointment is that l have none.
But l have stopped worrying about
it or making Chad miserable by spec
Ulating upon reasons.
81 have interested myself in other
things. 1 have started writing a
book, Margie, and I think I am hap
pier since 1 began, even if it is never
published. Some days Chad hardly
speaks to me, but know now that
sometimes he wants to get away
from everybody, even me, and stay
away from him as much as possible
until he wants me again.
"Of course, 1 can't tell you just
how you should solve your problem,
Margie, but if 1 were you I believe I
would cease to think of it. I'd just
give myself up to the beautiful sea
and sun and summer sky here at At
lantic City. I'd go the length of the
boardwalk every day-of course, you
will have to go in a chair now, but
as soon as possible I'd try walking.
I'd dance and smile again. In fact,
I'd get back into the game again and
I would not worry about Dick at all.
If he can win you back, all well and
good. If he can't -MoIlie stopped
suddenly and whispered: "Margie,
there isn't anyone else, is there?"

IS ANYBODY HERE
 IN THIS CLASS? ]?

The world is full of people who are poor through no fault of their own, but we must re- cognize the fact that there are millions of people who are themselves responsible for be- ing in want. When we found a lot of empty whiskey bottles the other days in house out of which a renter had just moved, we wondered if he was not to blame for not owning any land. We have too many people who proclaim themsel- yes too poor to read papers or educate their chiIdren-too poor to develop their own brain power-and yet have plenty of money to spend for drink, which injures both brain and brawn.-The Pro- gressive Farmer.

NEWARK MAN MAKES
 RICH MINING STRIKE

Drennen & Bufford opened one of the richest mines in the district on the Ohio property on Hall Mountain, whcih they leased from Bob Reynolds in the spring. In addition to sev- eral tons of very high grade free carbonate ore, they have also taken out a large quantity of clear jack, some in solid chunks weighing 20 pounds or more. One of the richest faces of jack bearing ground ever opened in Che district is now exposed in the heading of their tunnel, while a strong run of carbonate closely overlays the jack. This development is in a break, near an old pros pect drift which was made years ago, but not with as great success.-Yellville News.

STATE NORMAL ROW
 IS COMPROMISED
President Doyne Retained After Differences Given Airing at Meeting of Board of Trustees

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The Board of Trustees of the State Normal and President J. J. Doyne got together last Sat urday and composed some of the principal differences aris- ing as the result of the audit made of the Schools books by o. P. Findley.
 President Doyne agreed to pay $900.QO, board for himself and wife for the past three ears. He had previously paid into the Normals treasury $109.00 to cover amounts which he had paid employees to reimburse them for dis counts on salary checks; also $60.00 board for a relative.
 The Board allowed MT. Doyne $300.00, or at the rate of $5000 per annum each for the use of two cows which he claimed to have furnished the school the past three years, all though, it is alleged, the Trus- tees had no knowledge until recently that the cows were on the State Normal farm. Dur ing this time the animals have been fed and cared for at the States expense. The Board voted to purchase the cows from MT. Doyne at S75 each.
 The Board allowed Mrs. J. J. Doyne $500 for voluntary services rendered in canning fruit for the dormitory, etc.
 Mrs. Maggie Stoddard Spaul. ding, of Jonesboro, relative of Hon. Wm. Stoddard, deputy in the office of State Auditor M. F. Dickinson, was elected matron of the school.
 J. P. Machin, until recently an employ4 of Auditor Dick inson's office, reported to tht Board that he had entered up on his duties as Registrar o. the State Normal.
 The Board adopted a resolu ton introduced by State Audi tor Dickinson (who is also i; Trustee) endorsing Mir. .Doyne' administration, and, amoni other things. affirming it's be lief in his honesty and integ rity.''
 The controversy betweei President Doyne and tho Trustees now appears to bt closed unla3s as has been sug gested in some quarters, the Legislature decides to reopen the incident.
 President Doyne's successor was not elected, therefore he remains at the head of the State Normal, which, is stated will open the fall term with 8 large attendance.

URGE FARMERS TO
 SELECT SEED CORN
One Reason of Small Produc- ton of Corn in Arkansas is Lack of Good Seed.

Arkansas grows a good many acres of corn, but it is safe to say that on more than one-half of the entire corn
 acreage there is not grown
 enough corn to really pay for the investment andlabor.Th are at least two important req sons why Arkansas is not grow ing corn at a profit. The land on much of the farming por- tions of Arkansas has been farmed too long with too little attention given to soil fertility. Our farming lands must be made richer through clovers and barnyard manures before corn can be produced at a pro- fit. The second reason why corn cannot be produced sue cessfully is because few farm CTS have attempted in a serious way to improve their corn by breeding or by field selection of seed. September therefore is announced by the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas as the month when farmers are to be asked to se- lect seed corn from the field. Circulars will be printed and distributed through county agents, bankers and county judges and others calling at tention to the rules for select ing seed corn. While corn can be selected any time in Sep tember it is thought that more interest would be developed if a special day is selected as Seed Selection Day" There fore, w. ]. Jernigan, State Agent for Boys Corn Club Work and C. w. Watson, State Demonstration Agent, have de- signated Sept. 27 as the days when all corn club boys and farmers carrying ondemonstra- tions and others interested will be asked to go to the fields and select seed corn; selecting we'll formed ears from medium sized stalks. stalks anywhere from ' to 10 feet high, ears about 4 to , feet from the ground and hanging down, stalks with plenty of foliage and with good root systems. Each farmer should select about three times as many ears as he will expect to plant, hang them up in sheds until winter then take down, sorting again and storing properly for the winter, later sorting again, taking off tips and butts and shelling and grading just be- fore planting time. It is hoped that one hundred farmers il. each county may be secured
