FRIENDS WE CANNOT TRUST.

With that malignant envy which turns
pale
And sic1ens when j friend prevail
Which merit and success pursue with hate
And damns the worth 1t cannot initiate.
About the sorrieSt experience a wom-
an can have is to gather around her
coterie of women whom she calls
friends, knowing there is not one
among them who is or would be all
that that sacred term implies. One is
always on her guard with a stranger,
but she whom she trusts can break
down the gate of reserve and in
burst of confidence win from her most
carefully guarded secrets. 1t is al
ways the so-called friend" who gives
the outside world an intimation that
she could unfold a scandal were she
so inclined, and in the end betray the
confidence which has been vested IL
her.
It is a rare thing for a beautiful
woman, if she has also popularity and
wealth, to gather about her woman
comrades who honestly admire her
fairness of face, her wit and pleasing
personality, rejoicing that she has such
advantages over them. If she trusts
any one of them with the knowledge
that she dusts little powder on her
nose to take off the shine, the men
who admire her will be informed. I'M
der the ban of strict secrecy, that her
complexion is not her own by any
manner of means-she paints and
rouges outrageously, and is perfect
fright without her makeup.
/ If she unwittingly confesses to the
woman friend who seems to sympa-
thize sincerely with her because of
headache that she took a powder to
relieve it, ere she realizes it the story
is insidiously spread about that the
discovery has just been brought to
light that she is dope fiend who
might well bear watching.
If she incautiously takes glass of
wine because of over-fatigue in shop
ping. intoxication is tackled on to the
list of vices she is charged with. If
all who claim to be friends were true,
there would be no heartaches among
maidens because of a trusted chum
having cut her out with her best young
man.
Friendship is one of heavens
choicest gifts from woman to woman.
The trouble is it is hard to discrim-
mate which is spurious, which is real.
Young women form new friendships
quickly Older women do not. The
latter winter and summer a new ac-
quaintance ere admitting her to the
intimate circle of friends whom she
holds near and dear.
Close friendships between women
can. be a blessing or curse. The
stronger will power leads the weaker.
The one is made the puppet of the
others designs, and influence which
Yields veal or woe. A wonderful
panacea and yet cruel thing may be
this thing called friendship-lamblike
in its tenG erness or like a wolf in
sleeps clothing. A woman should not
believe absolutely that another woman
is her true friend until she has proved
her to be such. Those we cannot
trust we are better off without.

RIGHT METHODS OF STORING
Plan to Arrange Seed Corn So That
Ears Do hot Touch-Thorough
Drying Is Requisite.

There are a number of good methods
of storing seed corn. In general, select
a method which does not allow the
ears to touch one another, one that is
cheap, one that takes up the smallest
amount of space. and one that is the
most handy to hold the ears for germi-
nation tests.
There are several methods that
should not be used; as tying up by the
husks, hanging in a crate from the
ceiling. or piling up in heap near a
stove pipe.
There are bound to be some of the
kernels injured by such methods. So,
in selecting the method of storage. Sc
leet one that will furnish nearly ideal
conditions for rapid and thorough dry
ing ont Of the ears.

In order to be a strong man one
does not have to shout or scramble or
use rough language; nor need he abuse
people. or defy them, or stand in their
way. He can be strong man by be-
ing quiet and modest and saying moth
ing. He need not make himself con-
spicuous or exploit himself in any
way. A strong man reveals himself
only when there is something to do.
when courage IS needed and self-sac-
rifice is demanded. 1t is necessary to
make these distinctions in order that
the fussy fellows who want TO monop-

sified and, if need be, ignored.

only one kind of rust is found, and
this is rarely serious.
The Oat ruSts are very commonly
present and sometimes cause severe
epidemicS in certain oat-growing
states. OF the wheat rusts the most
important one at the present time is
the stem rust, commonly called the
black rust" which was the cause of
the epidemic of rust in the spring
wheat states this year. The leaf rust
of wheat is almost always present ev-
cry year and is familiar to most farm
ers as ''red rust" and while it I'M
dOubtedly does ut least q slight dam
age, it seldom if ever causes a severe
loss. The yellow, or stripe rust of
wheat, has only recently been discov-
cred in this country. 1t also attacks
barley and certain wild grasses and
has been found in the western part of
the United States, but not as yet east
of the Rocky mountains except in east
ern Wyoming. 1t is common rust
in Europe and considered a serious
disease. If it continues to spread in
this country, and if it proves as seri-
Gus an enemy to wheat here as it has
in Europe, it is possible that it will
add materially to the rust troubles of
our cereals. r-r
Grasses as Rust Plants.
The life histories of the rustS are
sometimes complex. This is especial
~ true of the most important of the
wheat rusts; namely, the stem rust. 1t
may pass part of its existence on an
ornamental shrub known as barberry,
Berberis vulgaris, where it produces
rust spores in May or June. These
rust spores may infect wheat or other
cereals. The stem rust may also in
its red and black stages live ON many
common wild grasses, 1t is also a
fact that the stem rusts of the other
cereals may also pass their spring
stage on the barberry plant. Although
the rust may live over the winter on
grass plants or may be brought up in
the early spring from the South with
out the Intervention of barberry
plants, nevertheless. barberry plants
serve as an active means of spreading
the rust in very vigorous fashion.
The common barberry should not be
permitted in the neighborhood of any
grain-growing farms and, in fact. it
would best be eliminated entirely from
the grain-growing states at least. The
small-leaved barberry, Berberis thun-
bergii, called also japanese barber
ry" is not attacked by the rust and
may be safely planted.
Rusted Seed.
Since the cereal ruStS may also live
on grass plants, considerable study
has been undertaken 70 find out the
exact relations between the rusts
found on wild grasses and those on
cereals. The natter is found to be
somewhat complex. There can be no
doubt that the grasses have a marked
influence on the prevalence of rust,
and that wheat rust epidemicS are con-

There never were bride and groom
who were not sure that their paths
would be smooth and rose Strewn. no
matter how rough and storm-swept
the majority of welded couples roads
turned out to be. They planned first
and foremost, to be lovers always !:
that there should never be a cross
word or glance exchanged; that the
aim of each should be to make the
other happy; that they would show
the world that the brightness of true
welded love could never tarnish, no
matter what other disgruntled mar
ried folks might declare to the con-
trary.
If one could lay down a rule for
continuous welded satisfactory con-

love, and was there ever a more fra

strongest love can weaken. If
