Few men know womankind, and the

Either barley or oats may be counted
when planted after the first OF May.
Barley is better crop than oats
for seeding during the latter part OF
the planting season (say about May

greatly as oats from the hot, dry
spells which occur in early summer.
Both cro2s do best when planted
fairly early in the spring, although
barley is a little more susceptible to

The fatal mistake that nearly all
men make is in letting woman
know that they love her. Sure. it's
true. one must love them openly at
times, but only at times. The main
idea is 10 keep em guessing. When
you've got 'em guessing you've got
em. Yes, Pauline, this is true.
When a man permits a woman to
know that he loves her TO death, he's
certainly dead one. She throws him
into the discard, and takes another
draw at the deck. He might Just as
we'll quit, cold turkey, right then and
there, for. he sure cannot win anoth-
er white check in the game OF love
with that particular woman.
And this game OF love is the great

play Il and play it right Really there
is only one way to play 1t, and that's
to play it on the square, but it's so
difficult to find woman who won't
cheat; cheat a little, anyway, that
it's almost useless to look for a
square game.
When you find Roman play the
game just as she don't, but play 1t

LATE SPRING WHEAT A GAMBLE.

Many farmers OF the state are faced
with serious planting problems be-
cause OF the fact that frequent rains
have kept them from seeding spring
grains at an early date. Oats and
barley may still be planted in proper
season, but large acreages OF grain
are certain TO be planted late,
Those who plant spring wheat In
late April or after the first of May
do so at a great risk" declares Pro-
