OF A WIFE
By ADELn GARRISON

''I should like to be alone for a little while. if you do not mind."
 T will be within call in the next room,' she answered, with wonderful understanding, and blessed her thoughtfulness as she went out.
 For could not bear the thought of any human eye upon me as wrestled with the awful problem which con- fronted me.
 My dream of happiness with my husband was over. That knew when I saw him pull out his purse to pay for tho hat he had just selected for the pretty Virginia art student, whose friendship with him had vaguely troubled me for some time.
 No friendship. however. could ex. cuse the sordid thing I had just wit messed. To my Puritanical mind there was but ono explanation for . girls permitting man, especially . married man, to buy her clothing. and that was an explanation that made me shudderingly cover my face with my hands and rock my body in torment.

Of all the absurd fallacies current about my sex the one resent the most Is that women are moro extrav- agant than men.
 For every woman who spends more than her husbands income warrants, I'll wager there arc five men who overspend.
 In the readers column of . cer- tain newspaper, ono of the most fa- miliar plaints is that of tho woman whose husband gives her some dis approximately tiny sum out of hiA income (for instance twelve dollars out of twenty-hve) to run the house and dress herself and the baby and keeps all the rest for himself.
 Every Now and Then They Upset tho
 Balance.
 Besides these unbelievably mean husbands. there are others who arc in the main reasonable in their ap- portionment of the money but who have occasional spasmS of extrava- gance when they completely upset the family exchequer. And then the little wife who has been anxiously keeping everything balanced, so much for clothes, so much for rent. 50 much for food and so much for sav- ings, must scrimp and manage and contrive for a month or two to get things straight again. Perhaps the savings account Is sacrinced. Or perhaps she decides she doesn't need q new spring suit after all.
 Hc Comes Home Minus . Ten Dollar
 Bill.

He knows this perfectly we'll and yet every once in while he will go on a spending spree and come home minus ten dollar bill. He met an old friend he had to entertain. or he had a chance to buy wonderful fishing rod cheap.

BUSINESS NEWS EXCHANGE
To Be Established at Dyon's Fair and Win Not Be For Takers But For DOeaU.

Rome. June 22.-'Talk, words, won't whip Germany either in a military sense now or in a commer- cial sense after the war;" said Ed ward Herriot, senator of France, war mayor of Lyons, member of the French economic council and a del- egate here to the international com- mercial conference.
 ESQ far as concerns France and the United States, want to see the business men of the two nations get together now and talk business and do business in 8 big way. I have been invited to the United States and may go there in August or Septem- Der. I have never been there, but now that we are allies I wish to in order to meet people and under stand the country better. In the Lyons Fair which we have now held for two years and which we will again hold next March, there will be an especial branch for business men,"
 "Only since the United States be- came an ally have we determined to establish at the Lyons Fair branch, to be known as the Business Mems Exchange. This branch will not be for takers but for doers. I am said to be more like an American than a Frenchman, and I want to get Amer ican men of action to come over to this fair. Last March Americans did business to the amount Of forty-eight millions there, and l hope this next March they will do more. Amer jeans need to know more about the things we have to sell in France. and we in particular need the heavy machine parts made in America for construction work. We need to be taught some of the Americans ways of organizing business. of doing 1t quickly"
 'This Business Mems Exchange will give Americans a chance to do business not only with us. but with Italians. with Englishmen. with Spaniards and others. For instance, it might lead to the building of the protected canal from Geneva. Swift zerland. to Lyons. the center of in dustrial France, on down to Mar seilles, connecting with the great river Rhone-Marseilles canal now be- ing completed. This exchange ought to lead to the identification of some of the French and Italian rail- roads. to the building of plants to utilize the water power of the noun tain streams of these two countries.
 There's plenty of big business do- ing over here and we want the big business. men of America to help, us to share in it."

A Plan for Farmers

The following outline of which
a majority of Chickasaw farmers
should put into practice was
handed to US by R. S. Mitchell,
County Demonstration Agent,
and we are glad to print same
for the benefit of farmers.
The suggestions are:
First. Keep a flock of so hens.
Provide oats, crimson clover, and
rape for them to Craze on. Oats,
corn and a little cotton seed
neal added make a good grain
ration. Comfortable quarters

Two pounds of crushed velvet

to one pound of cotton seed meal.
Third. Keep 20 or Is ewes.
In winter Craze on rye, oats.
barley and crimson clover. A
light grain feed should be given
each day. The wool should pay
for the grain feed.
Fourth. Keep FIVE brood sows.
Provide as far as possible plenty
of winter pasture: grow soy
beans, peanuts and.potatoes to be
hogged off. Some corn should
be fed the last three or four
weeks before placing hogs on
the market.
Fifth. Seed five acres of well
drained land to oats and Lespe-
deza.
Sixth. Plant one acre of light
soil to sorghum.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that he
had made out this outline as a
guide for diversified farming
this year in this community. He
stated that above plan with
some additions could be put into
practice on the average two
