The Farm Loan Board at Washing
ton reports that Virginia farmers have
gotten over 100000 in loans from the
government under the rural arcdits act
of Congress. Good enough. as far as
il goes. Little better organization on
the part of farmers and the formation
among them of more farm loanS aSso-
Citations will bring forth still more of
the much needed cash. Virginia pow
has 432 farm loan associations. She

The Eastern Shore of Virginia has
already shipped this season over 10o,-

1t is believed the Eastern Shore peo-

Portugal. when n farmer dies. in
stead OF one OF the heirs taking the
whole property and paying the re-
naming heirs for their parts, the
farm is divided into as many parts
as there are heirs. This process has
been going on for very long time,
so that now in the most fertile part
OF Portugal the land is divided into
incredibly small portions. And yet
that Portugal is one of the best
farming little countries in the world
is proven by the fact that her farm
ers are universally well-to-do. Vir-
ginia VIII some day learn that the
small farm is the thing that pays.

she received four proposals Of mar
rage inside of two weeks, and tho
wonderful part was that even after
she refused them. they remained her
faithful admirers and friends Just the
same. I asked her one day what kind
of man she expected to marry, and
shall never forget the casual, light
hearted answer.
"One with money. I've been poor
all my life. and / bet cookie that
the man who gets me will have to cut
the coupons regularly"
1 didn't say anything more, just
looked at her; she was so pretty and
sweet looking. 1t seemed impossible
that such a lovable girl could be so
mercenary.
And so ] believe in the case Of this
boy from Texas. he had better stick
to his little home sweetheart, and be-
ware of the type of girl who excels
as college widow. You will usually
find among middle aged women beau
ties who have fingered right along

manded too much and let love pass

Nearly all of my letters come from
girls, so that it always interests me
when I find one from a boy. 1t al
ways seems to me as IL boys are so
resourceful, and another thing they do
not like to make confidants of every
body.
But letter came a few days ago
from a boy down in Texas, and it
seems to me as IL he is facing a pretty
serious situation. Pm sure he's in love
with the wrong girl. He wrote:
Dear Miss Pickford:
II read your articles every day in
the paper down here. ami it seems to
me as il l almost knew you. 1 want
the advice of some girl about two
other girls. I've known one OF them
FOR several years. In fact we went to
school together, and she's a mighty
nice girl. She's the sort that your
mother hopes you're going to marry
and l always thought I would. too.
until recently. Then a new girl came
20 our town, and tell you it's just all
up with a whole bunch of us. All
she's got &c do is look at fellow and
he's her slave. l thought I was
pretty strong minded, but 1 don't mind
saying that I'm ready to give up
everything else in life If she'll have
me.
What makes me feel mean about
1t, though, is the other girl AS l say.
| am not really engaged to her, but l
guess we've both taken 1t for granted
that we were going together with Sc
rious intentions. Now. what / want
to know is whether 1 can go to her
and tell her the truth. l know If 1
were a girl I'd rather have a fellow
come straight out and be frank with
me than to marry me from a point
of honor when he loved another girl.
Il feel If don't go to her and tell
her that I'm going to do something
desperate. / know perfectly we'll that
this other girl cares for me. / can
tell just from the way she looks at
me. What would You do IL you were

/ wish Jack could write and answer
this letter, but as long as he wrote
to me. think I will tell him the wis
dom have learned from my brother.
Jack says always to beware of the girl
with the come hither" in her eye.
There is a certain type OF girl who
seems blessed from birth with this
power Of attraction. The whole way
through life is made easier for her
because Of the light of her eyes and
the smile on her lips. While the aver
age girl goes along and makes good
through hard effort, the fortunate
things of life seem to fall at the feet
Of the winsome girl.
I remember about two years ago
there was just such a girl in our COM
pany. As one of the men expressed
it, "she moved EN- down" 1 know
