| to find her or not?
| MOTHER.
A great many people who are
possessed Of good sound reason
ing faculties would not hesitate to
advise you not to try to find your
daughter.
But they are not mothers.
They know naught OF the supreme
sacrifice of motherhood.
Consequently with quite clear
conscience they can place the laws
OF man above the laws Of God.
But Is Is inevitable. The laws Of
God are stronger than the laws of
man.
All OF these years the great, all
developing spirit Of wronged
motherhood has been calling thru
you.
| II it is within your power to
appease it, who would dare say
that you have not that right?
Our Creator did not place two
souls i'm such perfect unison as
that Of mother and daughter in
tending that they should drift so
far apart.
Perhaps your daughters heart
yearns for the love Of her flesh
and-blOod mother.
1 feel very strongly that 1t is
your privilege to seek your girl.
DO Times readers agree with me?
Dear Miss Grey: l always
have very dark circles under
my eyes. Can you tell me what
causes this? N. M.
The dark circles may he caused
by late hours, over-fatigue, ner-
vOus strain, or q relaxed condi-
ton Of the skin due to some
chronic trouble. A physician
would have to tell you just what
the cause is in your particular
case. Massage with q good cold
cream sometimes proves beneficial.
Dear Miss Grey: Some ink
was spilled on an ecru linen
table cover. I soaked it in
sour milk, but that left dark
circle around each spot. What
will take this out? j. L.
You should have changed the
milk frequently, squeezing the
linen up and down in it until no
trace of the ink remained. Then
you should have washed the cloth
rs usual. Perhaps a second treat
ment will remove the ring.

trade ut present. They are: Ad-

Superb. In addition, n variety
known as the Minnesota No.

sofa State Horticultural society
and the Minnesota agricultural
experiment station, has been In
troduced. Only two of the VA
rieties introduced, the Progress
sive and the Superb. have been

and the others very little. The

valuable.
Small Crop First Season.
If plants Of the everbearing type are
set early In the spring, small crop
can be had the first season. Plants
which have been set for year give
a fair yield ut the time the usual

summer crop the amount Of fruit Sc

eties may equal or exceed the early
summer crop. Thus instead Of a con.
'stant supply throughout the season
there Is O distinct early summer crop,
then a period Of comparative rest
when little fruit Is produced, followed
by long period when q fairly uniform
amount Of fruit is borne.
Weather conditions play an impor.
tant part In the amount of fruit pro.
duced during the summer and autumn.
Only when the moisture supply and
other climatic conditions are favorable

reason the results obtained from the

SET STRAWBERRIES EARLY
TO GET FRUIT FIRST YEAR

Early springt+aS soon as you
can get into the eardenTis the
, time TO set "everbearing", straw
berries, or, In fact, any straw
berries. With such an early /,
start a larger crop Of fruit can
be obtained the first year. The
plants also have opportunity to
become established and to de-
'velop better root systems before
beginning to fruit. The mark
edly different behavior of the
long-season varieties has led to
[. the development Of cultural
practices differing In special de-
tails from those followed In the
production of standard sorts.
Directions for the culture of the
. everbearing types, In so far as
the methods differ from ordi-
nary practices with strawber-
ries. are given In Farmers Bull
