The fact that you are very young
and that your acquaintance with
your sweetheart Is very slight
would make me tell you under any
circumstances to wait and let time
conquer your uncertainty. And
your own slightly metcenary atti-
tude in the matter Is worth further
consideration. II you do not even
care enough for him to give up
going about socially at his earnest
request, how contented would you
be to devote yourself with absolute
loyalty to an absent husband who
had gone to the war, or even to a
husband who was right on deck and
whose continuous presence might
not be enough to make up for the
society and pretty clothes you
crave? Wait until you are a little

you are sure, you will dare even TO

When To Plant Corn.

Corn should be planted early; just
as SOM as the soil is warm enough
to induce termination and the danger
of frosts is past, according to Farmers
Guide. Where the land is plowed in
the fall or during the winter it can be
planted much earlier than if blowing
is delayed until spring. 1t is not -ise
however, to SOW seed on a poorly pre-
pared seed bed in order to secure
early planting. Later planting followed
by good seed bed preparation is better.
BY having a good seed bed and by us
ing tested seed, the corn planted late
will stand as good a chance OF matur-
ing before early frosts as we'll as that
planted early on a poorly prepared
seed bed
