Buy Wheat Fertilizers Now.

The wheat grower that does not buy
his fertilizer very shortly will probably
find that he will have to seed his wheat
before the fertilizer is delivered. The
fertilizer companies can make deliver
les at the present time, but in Sept
ember it will be very difficult to get
cars for shipments.
The principal reason for this condl-
ton is that the railroads are facing
the problem of moving an enormous
wheat crop to the Atlantic ports. This
movement will be well underway by
the first of September. The railroads
will need every available box car to
move this wheat, and fertilizers must
be shipped in box cars also.
There is nothing to be gained by wait
ing, fertilizer prices will not change
materially in the. next three or foul
months. The safe thing to do is to or
der YOUR wheat fertilizer now.

Yes, but be quick about it, growled
the fox. hitching along on the floor

Uncle Wiggily. The long tails of the
coat the fox wore were spread out on
the floor.

Uncle Wiggily, hammering in the tacks.

Much as Estrelda would have liked

ture of a recall. 1t was rather funny
that as a matter of fact had Freddie
told the truth he would have had to
admit that he did not miss his wife at
tainly Estrelda would have been only
too glad to have her prolong her visit
to her father in Mapleville. And GER
tainly Estrada would have been only
too glad to stay. The thought of her
husband no longer moved her, and she
was deep in a filtration with Arthur
Parker, her new admirer. But Freddie

that Estrelda's homecoming was moi

He saw her really before she saw him.
1t flashed through his mind that she
looked both cross and tired. In anoth-
ers moment she was greeting him. He
tried to put all the ardor that he could
into his kiss. She gave him a perfume
tory caress.
Cant we have a taxi?" she asked
at once. Have / got to 60 up in that
nasty old subway? The trips been
perfectly horrid. l do think you might
try to afford a little comfort for me
sometimes"
Now, as a matter of fact, Mapleville
was only about three hours from New
York. Such a trip ought not to over
whelm a healthy young woman with IA
tigue. 1t had not occurred to Freddie
that his wife would need a cab in which
to go home. However, he gave way
gracefully.
"Of course, dear" he said gathering
UP her bundles and her handbag for
her. We will have you home where
there's a nice dinner waiting for you
and you will be rested in no time"
On the way up in the cab they ex-
changed laconic remarks. Freddie was
doing his best to appear cheerful, but

Love must have congeniality of tastes
in 1t. Don't be misled into thinking
that you are really in love with the
man with whom you are forever having
misunderstanding and spats. Such a
man may have a certain fascination
for you that may delude you into think
ing that you really care for him, but
this attraction of opposite is a cruel
game hat nature plays on us in order
to keep up the average Of the human
race.
But this very attraction of opposites
, that makes people think they love each
other before marriage makes them real
ly hate each other after marriage, for
the only love that endures is the af-
lection that is founded on a similarity
OF tastes and ideals. The people we
enjoy being with are those who soothe
us with their presence, not those who
are a constant irritation.
Love must have respect in 1t. Espe-
cially for women. A woman who is
married to a weakling may come to
have a sort of maternal pity for him.
as a mother for a deformed child, but
this is a poor substitute for the SPLEEN
did, proud love of the woman who is
married to a man whom she honors
and respects, and who is a real nan
among men.
therefore don't mistake pity Tor love.
Be sorry for the ~drunkard, or the a
who can not make a living, but don't
imagine that the feeling that you have
for him is real love, because 1t isn't.
Above all. real owe is unselfishness
1t is putting somebody else's happiness
and well being above your own. 1t is
a desire for service. and when you
come to the place where you find a
man whom you are willing to follow
to the ends of the earth, and for whom
you are willing to cook, patch and sew,
and wear shabby clothes, If 1t helps
along his fortunes, ask no further what
love is. You know. You have a case
of the real thing.
For this is the acid test Of woman's
love-not what can a a give me,
but what can | give him? And all other
love but unselfish love is a counterfeit.

A group of young girls have written
me A letter asking this momentous
What is love?
Well, to begin with, girls, 1t isn't
what you think it is. From the time
you were born you have been con-
sciously or un~consciously, taught that
the most important thing In a woman's
life is love, and that to love and be
loved was Hthe chief end of your ex-
isttence. tMt,f -
Therefore you have figured love as
a combination of romance, and adven-
ture, and a .career-something that
would be full of hectic thrills in Its
early stages and solid comfort in its
latter estate.
Now love may have all of these ear
marks, or 1t may have none of them,
Sometimes Cupid delivers his divine
gift wrapped up in all the pink chiffons
Of romance, Sometimes he simply
shoves it under a girls door, plain
and ~unadorned, without ever a blue
~ibbon bow tied on it, which is to say
chat sometimes a girl falls In love
with a man who looks like a fairy
prince and who woos her in beautiful
Booth Harrington language, and some
times she falls in love with a red
headed, freckle faced grocer's clerk
who shutters and chokes on his Adams
apple every time he tries to tell hei
athat she certainly does look good tc
him. |
Also sometimes a girl has palpitatior
of the heart every time she hears the
mans footsteps, and sometimes she
doesn't, and her heart keeps on doing
business In the same old reliable way
no matter who approaches. 1t depends
on her nervous system, and not on
the state of her affections. Therefore
one must eliminate the thrill business
as an indication of love, or else the
crop Of old maids would be unduly
large.
Nor does love invariably result, In
real life, In the old fairy tale ending!
and so they were parried and liyed
poverty hard work and sacrifice, anc
so you see a girls dream of love Ii
very far away from the real thing.
But what is love? Love is made W
Of many things. Perhaps II begins IT
physical attraction-that mysterious
something that draws you to one par
ticular individual, that makes o like
to be near him, that make the touch
of his hand agreeable to you, that rem
ders his whole personality charming tc
YOU. There can be no real love be
tween a man and woman that has no
, physical attraction back of 1t, INT YET
this Is not enough. Nothing is more
short-li lived than the love OF the senses
DO not conclude that you are in love
with a man because you like to dance
with him or to have him hold YOU
hand. He may thrill you for the mo-
ment, but custom is death on thrills
and you would find that you hadn'i
