MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

| am a girl of sixteen, have light
hair, blue eyes. light complexion,
five feet six inches. Do you think
am old enough to talk to the boys?
l have a boy friend who has been
coming to see me for a year, and
he seems to dearly love me and has
always treated me with respect, but
l cannot love him as 1 ought to-.
What shall / do to make myself love
him?
ANSWER-My dear child,
there is nothing you can do to
make yourself love this boy. and
there's no reason why you
shouldl You are too young TO
be In love. and II you try to
persuade yourself that you love
this boy. you will miss the hap
piness of real love later. Be con-
tent TO wait until you are older,
until you meet the right man."
then you won't have to teach
yourself to love hint will
come naturally.
am coming 10 you for advice. I
am q widow. My husband left me
about two years ago and 1 am going
TO get a divorce. l have three chill
dren and no one to look after them
but me. They say he is married
again and would 1t be right for me
TO so with any body else and marry
after l get the divorce to help me
to take care of the children II they
are all right and my father and
mother like them? What will you ad-
wise me to do about It? l am % in
January.
Answer: I don't quite under
stand your letter. You say that
you have not obtained a divorce
and yet that your first husband
is married again.
There Is no reason why you
should not obtain a divorce. But
I think 1t would be foolish to
marry again, just to get some one
to support you and the children.
Why not get your mother and
father to keep your children,
while you set about earning liv-
ing for them and yourself?
I am a girl of u, and am in love
with a boy. %. He loves me very
much. He lives some distance from
me. He has been writing to me but
I haven't got a letter from him in
months. Please give me\ advice.

dred different reasons for your
this young man. Give him an
opportunity to explain before you

Resolutions Of Respect

Whereas, God has visited the Wo-
mans Club Of Miller, s. d., and taken
from our midst our beloved member,
Leila Il. Leyson, that We desire to
show our appreciation of her virtues
and great worth, therefore, Be 1t Re-
solved: That in the death OF our
friend, the Club has lost the helpful
ness, kindness, congeniality and dear
companionship of a prominent mem
Der. Also during the time that the
Club was in recess she was a leader in
patriotic work in this community, and
worked diligently for the help and com
fort of our soldier boys who went from
this county.
Be it further resolved, that we ten
der our heartfelt sympathy and con
dolence to the bereaved family, and
also that these resolutions be placed
in the records of the Woman's Club,
and a copy be sent to the family, and
a copy be sent to the Miller Press for
publication.

hand,
And a sound of a voice that Is STILL"

Owner May Exempt Crop
From State Insurance

Under the provisions of the law a
crop owner or tenant can exempt his
crops from insurance by signing and
filing a blank that will be left with him
by the assessor when that official
makes his regular spring visit. He
can withdraw entirely from the pro-
visions of the act or take one-half the
insurance Of SO per acre. Landlords
and tenants may exempt all of the
crops or part of the crops or one can
carry the insurance and the other
withdraw IL he wants to. The state
is divided into four districts, the cost
varying in the different districts hav-
ing the lowest rate, 35 cents per acre.
While a great many farmers are op-
posed to state hail insurance the fact
remains that the people ordered the
legislature to act, every county in the
state except four giving the amend
ment a majority and that the law is so
framed that those who do not want to
participate can exempt themselves by
taking the cropef stera. The rate is
much lower thu the farmers have
been compelled 70 pay fer hail insur
ance In the past. During the past
seven years crop owners of South Da-
kota have paid ouC nearly six million
dollars for hail Insurance. while only
three millions h TOO been paid back in
losses. II state hail insurance had
been in effect d1eins the seven years
referred to over one-half OF the
amount paid out in premiums would
have been saved.
