HER SIDE LAND HIS ONES SON AND ONES DAUGHTER

"But why would you rather have it a girl than a boy?' asked Beth Woodford. Its just like you, Cora, to go taking the opposite side of question like that Any body else would be wishing and praying for son. Everybody wants the first baby to be boy, whether they admit it or not. Why, I often suspect they say they want girls just to slave off the dis appointment if they have one Girls" added Beth, have such a hard time in the world

 That's just the reason, Beth. I want a girl because I could keep her from hav- ing a hard time It's because girls are taught wrong that they have hard time in life. long to make companion of my daughter, Bethie; to get close to her and be her dearest friend.

 "Fiddlesticksr cried Beth impatiently. "A sensible mother can do a thousand times more with a boy than with girl. Think of the careers open to male that the female species can only nibble at. Think of the possibilities in business, in politics, law, medicine, everything. Men always have the best chances"
 "Of course they do,' agreed Cora spir- itedly. That's why it is so much bigger an understanding to launchg a girl suo- cessfully in life, and sso much more worth trying for

"But while Pm about it, Beth, might as well do all can for the world. Every success full woman helps to make the world bet ter for every other woman.

This department invites contributions from those interested in the work. Ad- dress Room 5 city hall.
 With each succeeding year has been noted the ever increasing demand for quality among vegetables, and with the greatly increased cost of living as a real problem. it is nothing but plain, common sense for us all to see that we get the greatest efficiency from the ground we cultivate.
 This means not only choosing the par ticular kind of vegetable to satisfy our needs, but the selecting of the proper type and variety that actually measures up to our needs.
 This can be done. It has been proven that by a proper selection of varieties and planting on definite dates, ground can be kept constantly occupied and constantly yielding; at no time producing an over abundance, or the opposite, an absence of useable vegetables.
 Just how to gather together the vari- ous vegetables and organize their produc- tive qualities for better results Is fas- cinating study to those who garden for pleasure or profit, and the sum and sub- stance of years of experience will make the average home garden more success ful, more efficient.
