held by man; canned goods in huge
heaps; a thousand and one homely

of the equipment will be found SNOW

SOME MAKE MONEY.
SOME MAKE LOVE
Marriage Based on Bigger

and Compliments
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Shall I marry Tom, who is earning
So a week and whom 1 dearly love,

The girls who write that query to
me are numbered and named Legion.
1t seems to be the popular feminine
problem.

cC SSful young man is dear to the fe-

A Sirl friend of mine remarked the

make love; / don't know any who can
do both, but If one could-wouldn't
lie he marvel?"
And in this case, | think the diff
Guilty is not with the men at all, but
entirely on the feminine side of the
ledger
The average girls idea of love is a
sentimental. emotional affair consist
ing of kisses and compliments. Real
love is based on far bigger principle
than that. The desire to give-to give
comfor; and well-being and comrade-
ship and understanding instead of
tender and stimulating embraces
that makes tie sum of real love.
One of the sanest, clearest-thinking
men l know said to me recently: "If
love We're oEly put on a business basis
it would last" And he is right.
Sentiment and moonshine, kisses
and caresses are nothing more than
the bonbons of life. No one ever sue
ceeded in living on candy. No one
ever succeeded in living on it for a
little while. For indigestion and
headaches and a general state of mis-

is all confectionery.
You must have meat and Vege-
tables and fruit and bread and milk
mixed in with your sugar in order to
have a sane and satisfying diet. And
you have to have great deal of work

making if you are going to find it sat

That fact was perfectly true and
Helen knew it, There is a certain

the ready sympathy of another

dream of confiding troubles in an

Eiddies-probably more if the truth
be told than for himself.
When women get a sane viewpoint
ahout love, they won't write and ask
whether they should marry a poor
man whom they love or a rich one
fol whom they care very little.
Instead, the type of woman who
now writes and asks to have this
problem solved for her will sit back
and study herself as well as the sit
uation. If she is a hot-house flower
who warts coddling and petting and
nicely tempered air blowing upon her
gently, she will know she had better
marry the man who can buy her the
comfort and ease so dear to her lux
urylovine soul.
But if she is a real woman, she
will recognize that she can afford to
he pal and a partner to a poor
man. that she can work at his side
and stimulate Linn to better work.
After that decision is reached, she
must decide with equal sanity wheth-
er her poor man is a shiftless ne'er-
do-well who would rather hold a
pretty girls hand than go down to
the world of business and try to hold
his own with men. If lie is a rich

One CT the most successful of New

married on sl2 a week just five years
ago. His wife considered herself u
working partner just as much as
sweetheart. Her husbands sutcees
seemed to her to be as much her bus
mess as it was his. She stimulated q
clever but easy going youth, shared
his interests and worked out his
problems with him.
The business of being a wife is just
what this young woman thought it
a real business Marriage is a work
ing partnership with shared ideals
and ambitions and liberation and un-

And the choice between a rich man

with earning capacity at the moment

do with what sort of a working part

OUR FIRST WAR ARMY.

The first war army will consist of 49,
538 officers and 528, $50 privates. These
will make up IS war strength divisions
complete in every arm and supplemented
by l6 regiments of heavy artillery The
selection of the men will begin as soon as
the draft measure becomes law.
Troops from New England will form
the first division, but this does not imply
that these troops will be the first to be
sent to the front. There will also be two
cavalry divisions probably for service on
the Mexican border. There will also be
aero squadrons, balloon companies, 10
field hospitals, 10 ambulance companies,
p field bakeries, telephone battalions,
10 pack companies, E ammunition trains
and supply trains. The taking of these
men from their vocations or from their

: OUR NEW ISLANDS.

The United States has paid $25, 600, OOO
for the three Danish West India Islands,
and does not own them for all that; they
still belong to few individuals who hold
title to the lands. The United States has
paid S25, 600, 900 for the privilege of gov
ernlng these islands That is ALL
One OF the islands, St. Croix, is as large
as Manhattan Island, and is entirely owned
by three men. There are Is, 600 people on
st. Croix, engaged in raising sugar cane.
For the privilege of living and working
there they must give the three owners the
greater part of the wealth they produce,
Just as the people on Manhattan Island
must give the Astors, and a few other
families, a big part of their earnings for
the privilege of living there.
Now that the United States has paid
$25, O0O, 600 for the power to govern the
Islands, it should do one of two things:
1t should either empower the Is, 600 people,
who live on st. Croix, to take for COM
mon use the rental value of the islands
they live on, and should empower the peo-
pie OF the two other islands to do the same
thing, or it should take the rental value
itself and use the money for the benefit of
the islanders. That is one way that we
can get value in return for the $25, 600, 900
spent. Until we do take this rental value
TOT public use, not one cent should be
taken in taxation from the laborers who
are producing wealth on the islands.
II we follow this course the islanders
Will have cause to feel grateful for coming
under American sovereignty. If we do
not, they will probably see little change in
their condition as a result of their change

ALFALFA IN MAINE,

From the University of Maine bulle-
tin has recently been issued, which treats
of the growing of alfalfa in Maine. From
this bulletin we collect the following state
ments: 1t was shown by the census of
1910 that in this State there was then ia
acres under cultivation. Inquiry made in
every town in the State in 1916 showed
that only 100 acres were then being grown.
Farmers who have had some experience
in raising alfalfa have found that thorough
blowing is necessary. That the soil must
be freed of all weeds and witch grass,
and that there must be good drainage.
During the season of planting there must
be thorough cultivation. From one to
Two tons of lime per acre or a good dres-
sing of ashes seems to be indispensable
to success. To summarize: It is believed
that possible crop of some promise"
may be expected if proper location can
be had; if drainage can be secured, weeds
and witch grass be killed, soil can be
lined, and hardy variety can be obtain
ed. Under the conditions named we do
not think the farmers will plant largely
of this possible crop of some promise. !"

WALDO VETERANS MEETING,

The Waldo County Veteran Associa-
ton held their monthly meeting at
Richie Grange hall, Waldo, May Sd.
The early morning looked stormy and
the travelling was not very good, which
prevented many from attending. The
forenoon meeting found some 20 veterans
at the hall. The records of the last
meeting at North Searsport, were read
and approved. A committee on time and
place of next meeting, Comrades Hard
ing, Crockett and Bussey, reported time,
June 18th; place, Morrill, and the report
was accepted. President Trask made a
few opening remarks. The dinner call
sounded and the comrades marched to
the dining hall, where one of Waldo's
fine dinners was in waiting for hungry
lot of old veterans, who partook of fine
| repast. Cigars were passed and the
smoke talk followed. The afternoon
meeting was called to order and nearly
100 gathered for good time.
The meeting opened with prayer by
Comrade S. L. Crockett officiating as
chaplain; singing, America, by the audi
ence. The address of welcome was given
by R. n Levenseller of Waldo, without
notes, and straight to the point. A.
Stinson responded with few broken re-
marks. The roll of honor was called and
seven members were reported as having
answered the last call since our last meet
ing: Comrade Rufus Brown, lst Maine
Heavy Artillery; Comrades Ellis, Goth
Maine; Moses Libbey of Winterport 10th
Maine; jefferson Dill of jackson; N. E.
Clary of Waldo, 10Th Maine; Mariner
Smith of Waldo, 18th Maine; William

c.. M. Shorey; defamation, Mrs. Hard
ing; recitation, Mrs. Sanders; reading,
Mrs. Shorey; song, Comrade Anderson;
