Helen went on. "only it semed so
late to call up this morning"
Warren was getting into his light
spring suit and was selecting his tie
with careful deliberation. Helen
watched him as she began to get
into her own clothes. 1t seemed in
credible that he would feel like
making the effort to, get dressed.
Last night he had had quite a fever
and had been really ill.
She followed him out into the
living room and saw him comforta-

to stay out here, Warren?" she said

At $50 the door bell rang and
Helen who had been sitting in an
easy chair near Warren, looked up
quickly.
There they are now, how do you
feel dear?"
"All right" he returned shortly,
and then Helen went into the hall
to meet her guests and for a time
there was confused chatter from the
other room as they removed their
wraps. When Helen. followed by
the two girls, came out into The liv-
ing room, she said apologetically as
Warren struggled to rise.
MY husband had an attack of
grip, so I'm sure you will excuse
him if he doesn't get up. Don't

up the comforter which had slipped
down.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

If you see a homely girl look posi-
lively pretty, and walk as If she were
a goddess, and a deeper. sweeter note
creeps into her voice-it's because
she is in love.
And If you see a young man strid-
ing along as If he owned the earth
and had a mortgage on heaven, it
is for the same reason.
Both have a touch of the divine
madness that while it lasts takes
this gray old world = racked with
war, pestilence, poverty and death
and covers 1t with the glory of the
rainbow.
Love is a mirage that reveals the
promised land-just beyond our
grasp. Do we ever reach it? That
interesting question the poets, phi
losophers, the man that mends our
cham bermaid, nave been discussing
since Adam and Eve were evicted
from paradise. And the last word
has not yet been said.
Since man began to set down his
first conscious thoughts by scratch
ing fiat stones with sharp ones, we
have had symbols and picture
writing that stand for the strong
est human emotions No doubt love
was Ine INSPIRATION Oh the HFSL ue-
batting society The worthless of
Thebes, Tyre or Babylon had inter
esting things to say about the ten
der passion, and they wanted an
audience.
What the Poets Say
Solomon, if he has not been ma
ligned, may be regarded as an au-
thority on the subject. He said:
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can the floods drown it."
And again: Love is as strong as
death; jealousy is as cruel as the
grace" And Shakespeare, who
wrote some of the most exquisite
love poems in our language, is of
the opinion that THE lunatic, the
lover and the poet are of magma
tion all compact"
Dozens of quotations might he
given to prove that love is a kind
of rapture, almost beyond the pow
er of the human will. Frail crea-
lures are caught up in this over

Advice to the LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DID HE TELL THE TRUTH

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 10 and in love with a man 21
and was sure of his love for me, up to
two weeks ago, when I asked him to
call at my home one evening. He
replied that he was very sorry, but
had to work late and could not pos
sibly come.
That same evening I happened to
be visiting a friend. who lives OPP
posite him, and on my way, saw him
talking to some men. This was in
the early part of the evening. I called
him. but he told me he was busy.
Since then, Miss Fairfax. l have
treated him very coolly-and he has
likewise adopted the same attitude
toward me when we meet, merely
"bidding the time of day."
Don't you think | was entitled to
an explanation2 My friends say that
did not give him chance to ex-
plain; that I should have treated him
Just as did before this happened and
that treating him indifferently, after
being so friendly with him. made him
think that l had ceased to care for
him. AS l know your ability, MISS
Fairfax. I am depending on you to
advise me what to do, as 1 really am
very fond of him.
You made mistake, when you
friend told you he would he busy on
a certain evening, in attempting to
force Yourself on his attention by call
ing him coolly, you have hardly given
him a fair chance of explaining
things. Your letter would indicate
that you are of a rather exacting dis
position. and whether this young man
had business or not. you were obliged
TO accept his explanation that he
could not call because he expected to
work On the other hand, If he had
been very much briken up over your
you a letter asking you to give him
another chance. l wonder If you have
been showing your affection for him
too plainly-a very risky thing for a
girl to ds. / don't believe I'd take the
affair too seriously; probably both
than a passing fancy. You might, in
the meantime. meet him again some-
where and not treat him so coolly and
give him a chance to explain.

Champion Dairy Cow.

c~essitates the employment Of some
other method Of selection. In the
breeding Of high producing animals
through several generations 1t has
been observed that there are certain
characteristics of the conformation
which are correlated with large pro-
duction. These characteristics are
namely: ~ Extreme angular form.
carrying no surplus flesh, but in good
physical condition. (2) Prominent de-
velopment of the udder and veins. (8)
The symmetrical development Of the
barrel with large capacity. After n
becomes familiar with these external
characteristics 1t is possible to select
COWS producing 300 pounds of fat per
year from those producing $50 pounds.
The difficulty comes in picking the ami
NAL that will produce 500 pounds Of
fat per year compared to the n pro-
ducing 400 pounds.
The selection Of animals by this
method is rather uncertain. Until rec
ords are kept Of more animals or some
other e devised for selection. the
selection by type should be used and
1t is up to everyone interested in
dairy cattle to become familiar with it.

cited the rumors and the actual facts

HAYS ARE VALUABLE
Utilization Of Alfalfa or Glover Partly
Solves Dairyman's Prob
lem Of Feed.
(By q. e. WEAVER, University Farm.
St. Paul, MIMI

By @. e. WEAVER, University Farm.
st. Paul, Minn.)
One hundred and seventy-f1ve pounds
Of good alfalfa or clover hay is worth
as much as 100 pounds of the ordinary
grain feeds. With the present prices
for feeds ranging from $25 a ton for
bran to $S5 per ton for corn, the aver-
age cost for 100 pounds Of grain Is
about $2.75. The cost Of its food
equivalent in the form of 175 pounds
Of legume hay is $2.15. This much hay
will produce 200 pounds of milk and
effect a saving in feed cost of go cents,
which is at the rate of 80 cents for
each hundred pounds.
The utilization of such hay partly
solves the dairyman's problem in these
days of high feed cost and milk In
ve%stigations.

BY EDWARD w. X

Washington correspondents were
permitted to say, last Friday, that the
United States and the entente allies
are maturing plans of supreme impor-
lance which, 1t is hoped and believed,
will bring the war to an end before
the close Of this year. What the pro-
ject is, cannot be stated, but 1t is
known that this country Is about to
use Its men and on a far
greater scale than has been considered
possible, and that there will be close
cooperation by all the opponents Of
the central powers.
In a message to American farmers,
President Wilson declared the Gull
minating crisis Of the struggle a
come, and that We must and shall
win. He added that victory or defeat
would be decided this year.
Industrial Germany at last seems to
be rising In its strength, demanding
that the war be ended without indem-
mites and annexations and that the
condition of the .proletariat be improv-
ed. This is really the big news of the
past week, for If the hundreds of thou
sands of striking workmen, backed by
the women of the country, can gain
the support Of a considerable part of
the German army the autocrats and
militarists may be driven from power
or forced to recede greatly from their
pan-German program in order to re-
tain their hold on the reins of gov
eminent. In Berlin, Hamburg, Kiel
and the Chemnitz industrial district of
Saxony work has come to a standstirl
and all over the empire there are
strikes. According to the meager dis
patches from Germany, the soldiers
and strikers fought in the suburbs of
Berlin and some deaths resulted,
though in several instances the SOL
diers refused to fire on he people. The
two socialist factions are conducting
the great demonstration, and many of
their leaders are said to have been ar
rested. Three important newspapers
Of Berlin were suppressed. Minister
of the Interior Walraf refused to hold
a conference with the delegates of the
workmen.
Such was the condition Of affairs,
II surface indications meant anything.
But the foreign correspondents In Hol-
land and elsewhere were dubious.
They more than half believed the i'm
perial government had stirred up the
strike movement in the hope that It
would affect the entente countries and
bring about peace, or that 1t intended
to use the movement to break Off nego-
tiations with the Russian bolsheviki.
ID
There was much uncertainty as to
what was going on In Austria, as the
censorship was very active. Reports
from Vienna were that the state gran
aries there were destroyed by n con-
fiagration which the revolutionaries
were accused of having started.
From Petrograd came the statement
that the workmen of Warsaw had
struck in protest against Won Kuehl-
mann's demand that Russia recognize
n Polish government protected by Ger
many.
It IL interesting to learn that Will
liam B. Thompson, formerly head of
the American Red Cross mission to
Russia, contributed a million dollnrs
or more to promote the spread of boil
shevihd propaganda In Germany and
Austria, believing 1t would be the
greatest instrument in the undermin-
ing Of the militarist regimes In the
central powers. This idea seems to be

HEIFERs OF GOOD BREEDING
No Stock More Profitable as They Con-
sumo Less Compared With
Growth They Make.

No stock pays better to grow at
this time than young heifers Of good
breeding. They consume less feed com.
pared with valuable growth than al.
most any other animal and there sure
will be a good market awaiting them
when they begin to be cows. They
should be kept thrifty and doing their
best, though-and a very little grain
will do this.

A good COW in the hands of a poor
dairyman is a poorer proposition than
a poor COW In the hands of a good
dairyman. Both r very poor COM
binations, however; a good dairyman
will not keep a poor % more than
