THIS IS SAD
A man has no time to be decent to
his wife.
He gets up early in the morning
with a crouch and has to leave be-
fore it does. Consequently he has
no time to be decent to her in the
morning.
He arrives at the Office feeling fine,
and he continues to feel fine until
along in the afternoon, when his dU-
ties begin to crab and flag him. By
the time he gets home at night he is
disgruntled for the evening. Then
he has no time to be decent to her in
the evening.
On Sunday he is too worn out with
the work of the week to do anything
but eat and nope.
The average man has plenty of
good disposition, but no time to praC-
uce II on his vile.

State Agricultural College. From his
tabulation he omitted only the items
of soil, depreciation for removal OF
crops from the farm. He estimates
such expense at twenty-four to thir-
ty-eight cents for each crop bushel
taken from the soil. Conditions, he
says, vary in different localities. Ex-
pense in the western counties-the
big wheat growing districts much
lower than in the eastern counties.
