English Writer Not Altogether Compli.

Arnold Bennett, the famous English
when they are engaged or married.
They realize that they have married
human beings instead of divine god
desses. Bennett says:
1.-THE process of reasoning is not SCI
entific, and inevitably it must bring
disilluSion, which means complica-
tons. The disillusion is precipitated
by the universal instinct to over-esti-
mate that which one desires and to
under estimate that which one has got.
See the young husband as he watches
his newly acquired wife enter a
friends drawing room. His anxiety,
which he often inadequately conceals,
is touching. Aforetime, the entrance
of that same young woman into a
drawing room never caused him the
slightest apprehension. On the con-
trary, it filled him with delight and
thanksgivings. Then, her imperfec-
lions, if she had any, somehow conSti-
tuted a perfection. If she was tact
turn, her silences were beautifully ex-
pressive. If she gabbled, the stream
of chatter was delicious. If she was
awkward, a secret grace was in her
awkwardness. But now that he has
got her, the vain fellow is intensely
afraid lest she may fail to prove to the
world the excellence of his taste.".

the unsurpassed strength of mother

The gist of these replies unfolded to
me that while many yearned to have

they shrank from sending them forth
from home. parents and their influ-

BETTER WHEAT YIELD
Do Everything Possible to Avoid
Another Short Crop.
Plenty of Barnyard Manure and Glover
Alfalfa or Some Other Legume
Furnish Nitrogen-Potash
is Also Needed.

(By F. L. DULEY, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Staton)
Careful manuring and proper pre-
cautions against the Hessian fly should
be looked after this fall if we are to
err short wheat crop. Plenty of barn
yard manure, and clover, alfalfa, or
some other legume in rotation furnish
the nitrogen that wheat needs most
cheaply, but lime, phosphorus, and pot
| ash must sometimes be added in other
ways.
The amount of available plant fOoC
| in your soil this fall will be one of the.
| chief factors in determining your
wheat yield next year. One of the
poor fall condition. On the better
lands of the state this is not such a
| serious problem, but on the medium to
poorer soils it is only under exception
ally favorable conditions that the
wheat will be vigorous enough to with
| stand a severe winter. This fall con-
dition can usually be improved by the
use OF some sort OF commerclal feru-
lizer. 1t has been found by the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
! that the use of commercial fertilizers
on the wheat crop is usually good in
vestment, especially on the thin soils
of the state.
| Phosphorus is the element most gen
| orally lacking in Missouri soils, and
has given very satisfactory money re-
/ turns when supplied to the wheat crop
in some form of commercial fertilizer.
| This element of plant food is most
commonly added by the use of such
! fertilizers as steamed bonemeal. acid
| phosphate, OF mixed fertilizers which
carry a high percentage of available
| phosphoric acid. On lands which have
| fair supply of organic matter, from

TEST CRIMSON CLOVER SEED
Samples Inspected by Department of

Samples of lots of crimson clover
seed now on the market tested recent
ly by the United States depart
ment of agriculture usually have con-
tanned about one-third of dead seed,
and in many samples more than two
thirds of the seed was dead. 1t is i'm
portant, therefore, that farmers know
the quality of the crimson clover seed
they intend to SOW.
Every lot of seed should be tested
for termination and then seeded heav-

If the present supply of seed of low
termination is sowed without testing
and at usual rate of seeding poor
stands and failures will follow even

Small Boy Rather Had the Best of

Theodore Chaplin, the young son of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chaplin of 2440
North Talbot. has wisdom far beyond
his actual six years of existence.
Theodore is just recovering from an
attack of typhoid fever, and, natural
ly has been placed on a limited diet,
which, by the way, he observes with
remarkable fortitude. One evening
recently he was invited out for din
ner by young friend, and on his re-
turn home, Mrs. Chaplin asked him
what he had to eat. He began slowly
to enumerate those things which the
family doctor had given him permits
sion to eat. but, with true mother in
stinct. Mrs. Chaplin knew that he had
omitted one thing. She knew that
there was one thing that her son was
passionately fond of, and that was
fried potatoes, which the doctor had
said should not be eaten.
''Now, Theodore, you had some fried
pototoes also. didn't you?" asked the
mother.

at Theodore and said: "I'll tell you,
it takes a teller with lots of brains to

eye, asked: Now, pop, what have

Germans Have Novel Camera

A novel camera which has been in
use in Germany for some months has
been found upon recently captured
spy. 1t consists of a disk worn under
the spy's clothing about six inches in
size. 1t is a small camera of q new
type and contains a universally TO-
eused film, which resembles a button
projecting from mans vest. The
shutter of tSc 6lD, is operated by a
string, which is extended so that it
can be operated from a convenient
pocket. Each plate is placed at an
angle of 60 degrees, so that six pic
lures can be taken without reflling
the camera. The size of the pictures
is about one and a half inches, but
most of them are clear and capable
of enlargement.

Why will girls persist in grieving
over man whose interest has died out
and whose affections have drifted to
another? If it is true that love can
spring into the heart in a moment of
time, why is it not reasonable to sup
pose it can wither and fade out with
equal celebrity if the sustaining nour-
ishment is withdrawn from it?
A man really in love is not eager to
sever the bond which binds him to the
sweetheart of his choice. On the con-
trary, he will use every endeavor in
his power to hold the love that means
so much to him.
A girl should consider the man who
leaves her for another maiden not
worth holding, not worth wasting her
hopes and future years upon. Instead
of grieving, the girl with proper pride
should rejoice that she discovered his
fickleness of heart before rather than
after marriage. If there is love or one
side only, the marital tie sooner or
later resolves into CALLING chain of
iron instead of banded roses. Home
is not home in the true sense when the
husband pulls in one direction, the
wife in the opposite direction.
The adding of years usually makes
matters worse instead of better. Even
the coming of little children does not
always remove the irksome strain. The
hrp0 oh iS co 10
no healing, no crossing over it's disap-
pointments to after happiness.
Therefore, despite woman's heart
aches over the loss of the lover who
has won her heart, it is infinitely bet
ter to part when it is apparent to her
that he no longer cares for her. Weep
ing until the heart is sore is poor
way to comfort an already despairing
heart. The girl is noble and brave
who brushes her disappointment with
an iron will. telling herself that what
ever has taken place must be for the
best.
There are women who assure them
selves that they will never be able to
forget. How can they, when they de-
liberately continue to allow their
thoughts to dwell upon the faithless
one and encourage the warnings for
his presence which they should put
from them with a stern resolve? Wom-
en- the world over have been called
upon to face such a contretemps and
have forced themselves to live and
learn to forget, realizing that to love
and not be loved in return was time
and wealth of heart treasure lost.
When the truth dawns upon a wom-
an past all doubling that the man upon
whom she has placed her hopes is
drifting away from her she should
brace herself to accept the inevitable
and be truer to her womanhood than
to spend the balance of her years pin
ing over a dead passion.

Some weeds are Indicators of soil

lime and it will not be improved but
the weed will disappear. No amount

eradicated it so thoroughly.
