Soliloquy of Modern Foe
Middle age promises much
in harvest if we SOW the
proper seed in youth, I

world the more we want to stay
here, especially il we have created
something or contributed to its rich
ness in some way.
We may not always understand
why we want to stay here, but there
is faint hope, only half awake,
that we are on earth to solve the
ever confusing problem-the riddle
of life-which no man as yet has
been able to satisfactorily figure
out. Therefore, age means much.
Springtime promises great things,
but it is in the summer and fall
that we gather the lucious fruit
the ripened promise of the spring
blossom. So it is with life. At
the meridian there is soul and SYM
pathy and understanding; achieve
ments, creations and knowledge.
These are Tor should be) the har-
vests of we'll spent years. Sane
philosophy-not necessarily wise
comes with middle age and we learn
to love the mystery of existence
after many years of living. 1t takes
bitter experiences and brilliant sue
cesses to teach hs the value of liv-
ing all the way from beginning to
end.
Youth brings enthusiasm-middle
age satisfaction.
1t is the one period OF life we all
count on, figure on, plan for and
save for, and yet we blindly blunder
through if we heed the pessimist's
wall.
Youth is the sowing season, mid
die age the reaping-the harvest of
life's richnesj--if we have sown the
proper seed.

Will Overload Freight
Cars to Relieve SHORTAGE

Burlington freight officials are urg-
ing shippers to keep down any freight
car shortage that may be brought
about this fall by reason of the
prospective movement of an immense
corn crop. In the Burlington circular
shippers are urged to not be satisfied
with loading freight cars to capacity,
but to keep on until the loading has
reached ITO per cent. Agents are told
to get in touch with parties loading
cars at the respective stations and see
that cars are released Immediately
after they are loaded in order that
they may be picked up by the first
freight train that comes along. Agents
in small towns are urged to have
shippers pool their shipments that
cars may be moved out fully loaded,
instead of moving with half or three
fourths loads.

A "Silly" Affair.

n
Dear Miss Fairfax: May ask your advice
on a matter worrying me greatlyf am a
young married woman and have Q good
husband and comfortable home.
What should do to forget my husbands
brother. whom I care for more than I
should. He has recently gone away for an
indefinite time, and although / know /
am doing myself and family a great wrong
In thinking Of him, can't help It and am
discontented and unhappy when he is not
here. He encouraged me to care for him,
and while I knew Il was dangerous to trifle
that way when he was here, only realized
after he had gone how much cared for
him.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated
very much In helping me to overcome this
silly affair. X. Y. 2.
You know you are doing yourself and
everyone great wrong and yet you say you
cannot help It. But you can help It. The
minute anyone has the common sense and
vision to stand off and analyze the situation,
she has the beginning Of the power to han
die It. Do you realize that this man was
a complete cad--disloyal to his own brother,
Indifferent to the laws Of hospitality and
decency and that probably he thinks Of you

string to make entries for the sale are
