The Test of Love-.

The Test of Love-.
A young girl of eighteen asks me
how she can tell whether a young
man is in love with her or not.
Alas. this is a question that human
wisdom has never been able to answer.
A mans love is something that a
woman has to take on faith-and
faith has been defined as believing a
think that you know isn't true
For the most part a woman has to
take a mans word for it that he is in
love with her, but she can back up his
vows by a few facts, so l would advise
the girl who is trying to determine
whether a man is in love with her or
not to pay particular attention to the
following points:
First, take note of his attitude
towards you in his absences Put no
stress on a mans coming to see you
five or six times week when he is
near you. He may do that because he
wants comfortable place in which
to pass his evenings; because your
mother is a good cook or because he
is bored or lonesome, or doesn't
know how else to spend his time. 1t
may mean anything or nothing, but
when he is away from you it is a diff
ferent story.
Then if he writes to you, if he sends
you kilograms, if he remembers the
little things that you like and are in
terested in. it is because he really
cares for you ana carries your image
with him in his thoughts all the time
Never believe d man loves you. who
waits for you to write first, or who
doesn't answer your letters. Men
never, never get pen paralysis until
they have ceased to care for a woman
Nor does a man ever forget that
Christmas and birthdays come to a
woman while he is in love with her
1t is only after he has ceased to take
interest in her that he fOrgets ami
versaries and has to be tipped Off to
what she would like is a gift.
If you ever have to remind man
of your existence you may be very
sure that your existence is of no i'm
portance to him, no matter what he
says to the contrary.
Secondly, observe the mans manner
to you when you are with him, and
see whether it is tender and affec-
tionate, or cold and calloused. This
does not refer to kisses and holding
hands, and all that sort of confec-
tionery stuff. That doesn't amount to
a row of pins. Every man will kiss
pretty girl and hold a nice squeezable
hand If he can.
But note if the man thinks of your
pleasure before his own; whether he
is willing to sacrifice himself to you
or not whether he tries to protect
you from every hardship that he can;
whether he really admires you or
thinks you a slave to wait on him or a
doll to play with

The trade and Industrial effects of
the coal strike in it's early stages, says
Bradstreets, resemble very much
those of its unsuccessful predecessor
in the steel industry. Actual effects
upon distribution are, except in pure
ly coal mining regions, almost negli-
gible. Concern verging upon uneasi-
ness is expressed where, as in some
cases, supplies of coal for future man
ufacturing needs are small, but reports
from large consuming centers point to
thirty to sixty days supplies of fuel
being available and confidence is ex-
pressed that the strike will end before
the extreme pinch comes. The heart
ening effect upon business men of the
strong stand taken by the government
to help order and to insure the non
union mines which employ a third of
the soft coal miners, running, and the
results of the Massachusetts, election
cannot be underestimated. 1t is felt
that the tide has definitely turned in
labor matters and this view is but
tressed by the failure of the steel and
longshoremen's strikes while many
smaller labor troubles have also dis
appeared.

neighborhood, through the following Of

been Conducting experiments as recon-
mended by the state and federal agri-

few years ago he was offered a tract
Of 100 acres adjoining his farm for

fact that 1t was wholly old, worn-out

that he thought best not to try its Gull
tivation and he turned it out to pas
ture. Lespedeza soon covered the 20
acres.
This year Mr.. Martin decided to try
to bring eight acres of this 20 back
into cultivation through recommended
methods of retaining land. He plowed
deep, cultivated shallow and took good
care OF the cotton, and the eight acres
produced four and a half bales, which
win, easily bring him as cents a pound.
He spent a total Of Al days In the pro-
