There are many good hogs In

the actual cost OF raising and fatten.

$500. He had so acres In corn. and
after fattening these hogs and curing
enough meat and lard for his planta.

bushels OF corn. together with n large
quantity OF other kinds OF feedstuff

STOCK MARKET

New York, March 5-Opening:
Wall streets disappointment at the
failure of Congress to pass the armed
ship bill was shown early in today s
session. Leading stocks fell abruptly
under last weeks final prices. Ship
pings were most affected, Marine pre-
ferred losing four points, with almost
two for the common and as much for
Atltntic, Gulf & West Indies. Re-
cessions of one to about three points
were recorded by Texas Co, Utah
Copper, American Wooden, Industrial
Alcohol and Continental Can. Rail-
roads also shaded perceptibly.
Noon-A sudden change came over
the market before the end of the first
hour, initial losses being recovered
in a general rally of one to three
points, with an active inquiry for cop
pers, sugars, Central Leather and
other .specialties. Marine preferred
made up the greater part of it's Joss
and other shippings showed actual
gains. The strength of United States
Steel was also reassuring factor.
Railroads, however, failed to partici-

The rebound was concurrent with ad-
vices from Washington that the ad-
ministation hopes to carry out it's

ARE EARNINGS
MARRIAGE BATS?

Rest is not quitting the busy ca
Rest is the fitting of self to ones
sphere.
IT'S loving and saving, highest and
best,
IT'S onward, answering; this is the
true test
If you were a young girl would you
deliberately marry a man who told you
in plain words, without mincing mat
ters, that he did not love you? This
is the odd problem which confronts d
young girl who has written me as fol-
lows:
81 am a business girl under twenty,
earning eighteen dollars per week.
live with my sister, also a business
woman making a good salary. A
young man under thirty has proposed
marriage to me. Almost in the same
breath he admitted frankly that he
did not love me. It seems to me such
an odd marriage proposal. Would it
be best to accept him or keep On in
my position, earning a good salary and
look further?"
There have been cold hearted pro-
posals Of marriage at all times. The
trouble is the men who have made
them have more often won out-the
young woman in the case believing
that love would come after wedlOck.
There never was "a greater delusion.
One canont help but admire the mans
frankness in the matter. The ques-
ton arises if he does not love her why
does he wish to wed her? Unless he is
a man of means it looks very much as
if he had an eye on her eighteen per.
1t takes love on a mans part to win
girls heart. When there has been
no flame kindled in either heart what
madness to go to the altar. There
must be affection to weather life's
storms.
Marriage is an eye-opener. Such
close companionship cannot fail to
disclose the faults. and frailties Of each.
Love is blind. Without that binder to
screen faults they stand glaringly
FORTH Dissatisfaction results, aye,
and the desire to tear away from the
bonds that bind. You seldom or never
hear of hidden skeletons in the closets
of families wherein each is bound to
the other in devoted love. Anything,
everything, is liable to happen to the
couples whose hands are welded to-
gether, but whose hearts are not. A
girl should give a man his walking
papers at once, who asks for her
youths companionship without an adj
equate return. No matter how tight
the marriage vows bind such a man a
woman might come along any day and
awaken the love that lies dormant in
his heart. What then? Could the
best. wife in the world hold him when
his heart and interests are not for
her? "A young woman who is good
wage Garner must judge very care
fully if she would not jump from the
frying pan into the fire. Eighteen
dollars is a snug little sum to pocket
for. a weeks work. When a girl is
young, with all 1ife's prospects before
her, she can afford to put from her
thoughts of matrimony until the man
comes along who will love her for her
self only. Many girls have the idea
