HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Cd lam a
girl 10 years old and in love with a
young man "a. This young man has
just got back from France. 1 had
been going with him a year before he
left and the year and a half that he
was gone he wrote to me three and
four times a week. He has been back
three. Since he has been back he tells
me he loves me, but never says any
thing about marrying. A lot of peo-
pie expected US to marry right away.
His folks invite me to their house
and think lot of me. Do you think
he is intending to marry me.
CD I would like to correspond with
some nice boy. Please advise me.
BILLY.
% I think you will be happier In
the end If you regard the young man
as friend and stop thinking about
marriage. You are too young and so
is he. Perhaps in two or three years
he will be ready to marry. Very few
of the soldier boys have enough
money to marry now.
ca Wait and some time you will
have chance to correspond with a
boy. 1t would not be wise to cor
respond with one you do not know,
and so the only way is to wait.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a work
ing girl and, have always been con-
sidered good looking. There is a
young man where I work with whom
I would like to become acquainted.
know he is very nice, but as ]
am rather bashful I cannot return his
smile. How can I meet him, or do
you think he is only flirting?
LONESOME"
If the young man wants to know
you he will find a way. From what
you say. I should judge that he is
only flirting. His smile means moth
ing unless it is followed up with an
endeavor to become acquainted.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are go
ing to have a box social at our school
house I am going to take a basket.
What would be nice to take to eat?
Also what would be a pretty way to
decorate the basket?
ANXIETY
Take the customary picnic lunch
sandwiches. pickles. deviled eggs or
hard boiled eggs, cake, fruit and salt
ed nuts. Get a basket the size you
want and gid it. You will find your
basket one of the most novel and at
tfactive in appearance.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Enslnyed Husbands.-2.


Every now and then you will hear
a woman boast that she has never
goNen up at night with her children.
and that her husband always hops up
and walks the collie, and sees that
little Johnny is covered up and little
Mary gets the drink she wants. Un-
less the woman is a delicate invalid
she should be ashamed of herself for
having defaulted on her end of the
bargain, and for having laid her bur-
den on her husbands shoulders.
1t is true the children are just as
much his as hers, and 1t is just as
much his duty to take care of them
as it is hers, but 1t is his business to
tG Ike care of them in one way, and
hers to take care of them in another.
ana it isn't fair for her to dump the
whole job on him.
do her work in addition to his own.
she is lessening his ability to do any
work properly. The man who has
had his rest broken by nursing fretfal
| children goes to his labor the next
day with tangled nerves and a clouded
| brain, and is no match for the man
who has had an untroubled and re-
freshing sleep.
Many wife who wonders why her
husband doesn't get along any faster
/ in business, and cannot understand
why men of less ability pass him on
| answer to her conundrum in the fact
that she makes a nursemaid out of
| him. She saps his vitality at home,
| and he goes to his business too tired
and worn to have any initiative or
energy left with which to play tho
big game.
| The average woman, who has never
done any work but domestic work,
has no conception of the tremendous
strain that business makes upon a
/ mans strength. She does not realize
that in the fierce competition that
exists in every line today, a man puts
forth every effort of mind, soul and
body, and that when it is over he is
literally exhausted, and If he is to be
built up to stand the strain the next
day he must have rest, he must have
amusement, he must have, something
pleasant and interesting to do
He must not have more work put
on him, he must not be made to per-
form unpleasant duties, he must not
be nagged and worried.
If women realized this there would
be no more women making their hus-
bands do the homework. For even a
selfish woman hesitates to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.

The June report of the department
of agriculture indicated a total wheat
crop of 1,2S6,0Oo,o 900 bushels, which,
tho somewhat below the expectations
of month ago, is more than o,oO0.-
600 bushels greater than the previous
record crop of 1915. The decline for the
month was attributed to rust and cli-
matte conditions. 1t was not serious
and will probably leave a surplus for
export of 500. 900, 900 bushels to satisfy
the hunger of Europe, whose produc-
tive abilities have been grievously i'm
paired by war and loss of man power.
This great crop is distinctly the fruit
of the government guarantee of $2.26
per bushel; the promise of favorable
weather conditions and the fact of a
large increase in acreage. The wheat
belt will gain enormously by this gov
eminent bonus. Prosperity will un-
questionably be widely distributed in
the agricultural districts thru the
enormous foreign demand upon US for
all food supplies.

VICTORY.
Rejoice. oh parents Of the dead!
It was for This their blood was shed.
This is the gift they died to buy
Beneath a troubled foreign sky;
For Victory they marched away,
Receive it from their hands today!
Be proud, oh parents of the sons,
Who faced the line of German guns
And braved the cruel fields OF pain!
They did not suffer there in vain,
Hold high your heads and cease TO grleve
And from their hands their gift receive
This is the victory they sought.
The glorious goal for which they fought!
This is the joy they went to buy
For this glad hour they dared to die!
oh loved ones now exult and take
The greatest gift that man can make!
This is the triumph Of your dead!
The cause for which their blood was sned
This is the gift they went to gain,
For this they braved the fields of pain!
Today the guns of hatred cease,
Your gallant soldiers sleep In peace.
