compassion.
Dear child" he reminded her,

You are free at any moment that
you choose to declare yourself so.
If an engagement still exists between
you, and you wish to break it
definitely, you can write the young
man simple note asking him to re-
lease you.
But if you are separated by
misunderstanding" merely, isn't
there a good chance of a reconcilia-
ton? And wouldn't you rather

A Promising SuitOr

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am 23, an orphan, and know
man 29 who wants to marry me, and
who is in a position to support wife
and home. / have known this young
man all my life. He is a sober. in
dustrious young fellow, with three or
four Thousand dollars to his credit in
the bank, and is very anxious to
marry. as he is also an orphan with
out a home. His salary is S45 per
week. My friends all say 1 am very
foolish to let good thing like this
slip by. l have a number of young
men friends, but none able to sup
port a wife. In Washington, at the
present time, is a young man who
also wants to marry me. but is no
way able to support a wife.
NJ. H.
My dear girl, you seem to have
wholly overlooked the fact that the
most important thing in marriage is
love and not prospects. If you are in
love with the young man who sounds
so promising, by all means marry him,
but don't think of it if you don't
really love him. l make this sug-
gestion because your letter does not
contain one word as to your feelings,
only what these young men could and
could not do for you. Let your heart
decide this question.

About Good Roads

The people of Missouri are amply
able to lift the state from the mud
of its dirt highways to a better
rank than twenty-ninth place in the
good roads movement, according to
figures gathered by j. Frank Smith,
manager of the Good Roads AssOci-
alton of Greater Kansas City. who
reported that figures were being
mailed to various county officials
interested in 365, day roads.
Last years crop and farm prod
ucts were valued at more than SAC
million dollars, according to the re
port of the Missouri Board OF A Asli-
culture" said Mr. Smith. This is
the largest in the states history
The value of Missouri live stock on
hand January of this year was in
excess of 408 million dollars, max.
ing a total of farm products sold
and on hand of more than Id
billion dollars. This sum repre-
sents $1,685 for each farm in the
state.
Missouri banks are bulging with
money deposited by citizens ot
every community. Practically
every home has to its credit from
a few hundred to several thousand
dollars in Liberty Bonds, Indica
tions are that live stock and crops
of the state this year will be far iu
excess of 1918"
The people Of Missouri are able
to buy practically anything they
want. Mr.. Smith believes, and many
of their purchases will be for motor
cars, trucks and motor farm ma
chinery. This means that the
states highways will have to carry
a greater traffic than at any time
in the history of Missouri. and thai
only hard surfaced roads will meel
the demands of the situation"
