Shall She Marry Him?
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax: l have been
going about with young man for
about a year. We were both en-
ployed in the same office. At first
we were merely good pals. He told
me he loved me. but l wouldn't al
low myself to think of him in a seri-
Gus way as l am 80 and he is 20. I
know he has no idea Of my age, as
no one ever takes me to be more
than %. I'm Of a very happy dis
position.
This young man was called to the
colors, was injured in France and is
now on his way home. | love him
dearly and could never be happy
with anyone else. Do you think
there is too much difference in our
ages? On that account l wouldn't
marry him before he went away.
DISCOURAGED.
The next time the question Of
marriage comes up between you,
don't you think you should tell your
age to this young man, as you would
tell him anything else about your
self? Then you can both think the
question over and discuss it. Ten
years difference in age need not
necessarily be a barrier to marriage
if the lovers are suited to each other
in every other respect.

Candies that Are Different

OF all possible kinds of candy, the
kinds that are made chiefly OF fruits
are by far the most wholesome. One
reason why candy is not considered

mother tells me he has taken up the
best years of my life. Will you
kindly tell me what to do? RUTH.
The wisest thing for you to do is
to try not to think Of this young man
as lover any longer. This isn't
easy, of course. But no girl wants
a reluctant lover. So do your best
not to be bitter because of this ex-
perience, and bravely go to meet the
next interesting relationship that
life may offer you.

Her Happiness at Stake.
Dear Miss Fairfax: l have been
happily married for five years. Re-
Gently I went to the country for six
weeks and was called back suddenly
by my husbands illness. l nursed
him for three weeks, day and night.
Now, while he was sick, young lady
called up several times, but never
would tell me who she was. After
he was we'll he told me everything.
He met the girl at party. He went
to her home several times. Her
parents, thinking he was a single fell
low, treated him splendidly. The
girl Is now frantically in love with
him. My husband knows he made
mistake, and is sorry. Should I
forgive him? What should l do
about the girl? Should I tell the
parents, or would it be better not to
say anything? A. B.
I should say that this unhappy
situation is likely to straighten itself
out If you can succeed in keeping
your self-control and acting as
though everything were as usual.
Since your husband has told you the
whole story and admitted that he
has done wrong, / do not see why
you cannot forgive him. But he
must prove the sincerity Of his re-
gret by winding up his temporary
affair with the very indiscreet young
woman. who has fallen in love with
him.

for this year will include the raking
of grain fields and the careful stack
ing of g~leanings in order to save all
possible grain that may be grown. In
connection with this comes the careful
shocking and stacking of the grain.
Many a farmer has raised a good crop
OF choice wheat or oats only to have
a crop of inferior grain to market be-
cause OF poor shocking or poor stack
ing and subsequent loss by p%rotracted
rainfall. Everybody needs to be on
the lookout this year in order to pre-
vent any Of the wastes or losses that
usually occur after the grain has ac-
tually been grown and harvested. Cow
cred storage is especially important in
all humid areas. T~hrashermen should

High Degree Of Skill, Special Train

Success.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
About 100000 900 pounds of honey
are produced annually in the United
States, California being the leading
state in the production of this sweet.
Honey production in this country
could be increased largely-ten or
twenty times the present yield-with-
out an appreciate increase in the cost
OF production, for the raw MATERIAL
the nectar in f1owers-is 1T certain
times practically unlimited. To pro-
duce more honey we just need more
colonies Of bees properly managed.
The proposition is very simple t 0 state,
but decidedly difficult to execute. Sue
cessful Bookkeeping requires a high de-
gree of skill, special training, and
faithful, persistent attention to the
business, SO any marked increase in
successful beekeeping hinges upon ed
ucational work among present and pro-
spective beekeepers.
Losses by Disease.
Losses of bees by disease, principal
~ f%oulbrood, range during the summer
from nothing to 10 per cent. Winter
losses Of bees range from 10 to Is per
cent, and in some states the loss vas
almost 80 per cent during the winter
of 1867. Winter losses may be
greatly reduced by more careful at
tention. The honey production bust
ness, commercially, is getting more and
more In the hands Of specialists be-
cause disease and winter losses dis
courage many who are unframed and
unable to prevent these losses by prop
er treatment.
Honey became established some
years ago as a seasonal product rather
than a staple food for use throughout
the year. The bulk of the honey was
produced by farmers as a side line.
the bees were given little attention and
h honey was produced at little ex-
pense. The crop was marketed ut low
prices during the autumn and stocks
We're usually exhausted during the win
ter. There vas little demand and
practically no supply, during the
spring and summer But honey is now
handled In q large way as a staple food
product.
Produced in Three Forms.
Honey is produced in three forms:
Comb honey, in one-pound sections as
commonly retailed; extracted OF liquid
honey, which has been removed from
the comb; bulk or Chunk honey, in
which the comb is more or less mixed
with the liquid honey. From 1914 to
1917 the production Of liquid honey
has increased in proportion to the COM
mercial output Of comb and chunk
honey. The bees are able to produce a
larger quantity Of honey, If they are
not compelled to build a comb for it,
and when the comb is emptied and re-
placed in the hive the bees are able, in
periods OF heavy nectar secretion, to
proceed Immediately to the storage Of
more honey.
