Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young man Of 20 years and am in
love with a beautiful girl. She
says she loves me, but somehow
she does not seem to care il she
hurts my feelings, which she has
done several times.
She is Is years old. Is she too
young to be engaged? She has
promised to be my wife in a few
months. She is a good little girl
and very attractive. l am afraid
that il we do not get married she
will go with some one else, and
that would break my heart.
Do you think she is too young to
get married? l have a good posi-
ton and am making good money.
Please tell me what to do. JAKE.
Yes, the girl is too young to be
engaged or to marry, and so are
you. Both of you should have
more opportunity to see life before
you settle down to the obligations
of an engagement or the RESPONSE
bilities of marriage.
1t is said that the tastes Of young
people in their teens are very unre-
liable. Young people are earnest
and think they know what they
want, but in later years they smile
upon the loves and ideas which
they had in their teens.
If the girl loves you, she will
wait for you. 1t would be foolish
to hold her by an immediate mar
rage. You may be sure that her
love would die if she were married.
Then you and she would have to
separate or go through life in love-
less marriage.
If she hurts your feelings now,
there is great possibility that she
will continue TO do so after mar
riage. It may be, however, that
you are too sensitive and are hurt
when you really should not be-
Don't get married now. Give
yourself and the girl at least two
more years in which to test your
love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am 10

% The harder you thy to make
the boy like you, the less he will.
Seek love and II will fee from
three; fee love and it will follow
thee" A little girl of your age
should enjoy girls and not give
thought to boys. Work hard at
school, and play with your girl
friends when there is no school, so
that your mind will be occupied
and you will not have time to worry
about a boy
90 Go to his home il his mother

BILE, how to use a clinical Their
mometer in taking temperature OF a
person. l have never used one and
do not like to ask a physician, but
want very much to know how.

mercury did not move, but remained
the same.
hope this comes under your col
umn, and that you can make this
clear TO me. WORRIED.
The end of the thermometer that
has the mercury is placed under
the tongue. If the mercury does
not move som ething is wrong with
the thermometer.
Take it to the place whore you
bought it at once and ask them
TO give you a good thermometer in
place of the defective one.

Sweden favors a league of nations because
IT feels that one would help protect it from
Russia. In the final lineup every nation which
harbors a desire to do something to another
nation will be against creation of interna-
tional police powers, while every nation which
harbors a fear that some other nation will do
something to it will uphold the new order
And that of itself is the best kind Of a reason
for supporting the league.

WELL, 1T FINALLY COT HERE

Well after fussing around for few weeks
spring finally got here.
Every year seems like it takes spring bit
longer to thaw out and get on the job but she fin
ally makes it.
Just about the time you have given up hope OF
ever seeing an angle worm face to face, and when
ma says that if she has to patch those oldest set
Of fannels again she'll die, why you wake up some
morning and there's the sun shining, not a
cloud in the sky, some warmth to the air. the rob-
ms and junkos and wrens and buebirds and larks
and timer creatures just singing their heads off
and winter kicked clear out of the state
The first sure enough spring day; when you
just know it isn't going to freeze right hard again
this season, that's real day
The blood flows bit faster; rheumatic grand
pap hobbies out to the back yard and sorts the
bean poles.
The boys and girls of the neighborhood begin
to come home from school together.
The office seems mighty stuffy and tiresome.
Mother leayes the kitchen work and putters
around in the place where the bulbs ought to be,
but usually are not.
The smell of old rubber and rags and burning
weeds arises, and green things pop up out of the
ground, and from bare trees limbs like magic.
Aye it is magic.
The resurrection and the life; the annual re-
mnder that death is as transient as life, and that
eternal forces flow and ebb and flow again but
never cease.
A reminder that decay is but preparation for
new birth, and that from the rich earth the buried
things rise in more vivid living dress
