seek the careSses that she longs for.
This will fatter and crafty her hus-
band and train him to be mora de-
monstrative towards her. Men are as
easy to train as puppies If you take
them in time. And then, do think
1t is the most foolish thing in the
world for bride to lie awake max
ing herself miserable, wondering
whether she means as much to her
husband as his first wife did.
''Of course she does! She means
everything to him. And it all de-
pends on herself how much or how
often he thinks of his first wife. Men
are not given to retrospection and
they hate to see the trait exercised
by women. Take my word for it, il
this girl would only pet and fiatter
her husband and keep his house
cheerful and comfortable for him. he
wouldn't exchange her for all the
angels in Paradise. and she may
count upon it that the memory of
his first wife would seldom disturb
his mind.
He married a second wife, first,
because he loved her, and next, be-
cause he wanted to forget everything
except the happy present. Men live
in the present. Only women mourn
over the past.
Let this girl stop her foolish mop
ing and bring the love and sunshine
to her husband that he married her
to obtain. And she must never be
backward about asking for what she
wants. SO long as her wants are ,rea-
sonable. And she must see that her
desires are gratified. The more she
demands the more she will get. II
is mans nature to value most what
costs him most
This is what Mother says. and ]
hope the sad young wife will realize
how true it is, and how foolish she
is to let herself be unhappy when
her husband wants to make her happy
in any way that will please her.
Next time this wife writes to me ]
hope the story will be one of pure
happiness.

New Industry

A new corporation has been organ
lied for the purpose of building and
operating a bean elevator to handle
the immense crops of the once
lowly but not aristocratic Mexican
bean. Thousands of acres are being
planted this year and the immense
crops that have been brought in by
many farmers who planted last year
shows what money maker the crop
is for the dry farmers. One man near
Springfield raised 10000 pounds on
I2O acres and sold it for S4,SOO; while
another brought in a string of wag-
ons loaded with $500 worth this week.
Stock in the new elevator company is
selling rapidly and it will be ready for
handling the coming seasons crop.
The Lamar register., 1917-03-28
Big Acreage

All the seed houses in Lamar are
being overtaxed to supply the dry
land farmers with seed for the COM
ing crop season. 1t is evident this
early in the season that in spite Of
last years dry season the acreage
planted will exceed that Of last year
by several hundred per cent, and the
lesson Of last year has not been vast
ed as most Of the new comers are buy
ing the kinds Of seed that best meet
the soil and other conditions Of their
sections The dry land territory sur
rounding Lamar will be a much larger
and more intelligent test this year
than at any previous time in the his
tory Of the country. In a large mea-
sure this test will be tbe chief factor
in settling the status Of these lands
for some years 70 come.

find new quarters in sixty days, as
the company will need the grounds.
The Lamar station does the biggest
business of any point for a hundred
miles in either direction now, and
more room has become one Of the i'm
perative necessities. Many new i'm
provements are being contemplated by
the railroad officials to facilitate the
handling of the big business which
comes from the manufacturing and
farming industries of Lamar and sur
rounding territory.

Barrett about twenty-five miles south
west of Lamar last Thursday morn
ing. 1t is not known just how it
started but when the occupants were
awakened it was well under way and
barred the way to the room where
Mrs. Barrett's mother and grand
mother were sleeping. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barrett and their little
and then Mr. Barrett took the older
women out through the window of
their room, but not before they were
badly burned. The house was quite
distance from any Of the neighbors
and it was some time before help
arrived. As soon as possible Mr.. Bar
ret brought the women to the Lamar
hospital, but they were beyond help
further than merely relieving their
sufferings. Mrs. Althea Plummer,
aged 50, died that evening and Mrs.
Sarah Kendall, aged So, the next
morning. The funeral services of
both were held on Sunday at the un-
dertaking parlors.. Mr.. Barret was
badly burned about the hands and
feet in getting the women out Of the
burning building, and they lost all
their improvements and furniture.
