The Test OF Love-.
ny DOROTHY DIX
WsxsA's Highest Psid wemaa vi

| If girl always proposes going to
some place of amusement when you
call, and if she always wants to go to
see the highest-priced show in town,
and orders the most expensive dish on
the menu, be sure you are mrely a
convenience and not a heart necessity.
She will either say mo- when you Pop
| the question, or If she marries You, it
will be because she regards you as a
good meal ticket. She really doesn't
| love you.
| But if, when you call, a girl wants
i to stay at home, and prefers the drop
1 light in the living room to the movies,
| you may have her for the taking
She's in love with you for yourself
alone. Also when a girl begins to
| make a man economic on the money
he spends on her. and urges him to
cut out the candy and lop off the
flowers, it's a sure and indelible sign
that she is beginning to regard his in
come as her own and wants to take
care of it.
The fourth sign of love is when a
| girl asks a man to tell her the story
of his life, and encores the narrative
of the things he used to do when he
was a small boy, listens with an en-
raptUred expression on her face white
he goes into the details of all that he
said and did at the office that day. /.
takes a deep and abiding affection,
thta is all wool and a yard wide, and
| fool proof, to stand for personal re-
miniscences, and any man can safely
ask a girl to name the day who can
| listen to him monologue about himself
| thru a whole evening, without yawnizg
| in his face.
| The fifth sign that a woman gives
| of being in love, is when she begins
| to try to take care of a man and to
| mother him. Is your Amarylis wor-
ried about your smoking too many
| cigarets, and does she urge you to
wear rubbers when it rains, and is she
afraid that you will get lost going
home? By this token shall you know
| that she is longing to boss you the
balance of your life, and tell you how
bad everything you like is for your
| digestion.
Go to it, son. She's ready to weep
on the second button of your waist
coat while she tells you how ha-a-p-py
/ she is.
| The final proof that a woman is in
! love, is when she becomes serious and
suddenly pious. Perhaps she has a
premonition that she'll need the con-
| solutions of religion If she marries you.
| Anyway. it's a sure sign that never
| fails-that a girl is in love when she
! takes to going to church and reading
profound literature, and studying the
| cook book.
| Try these tests of love on your
Amarylis, son. They never fail

NO REASON FOR HIGH milk
Big Surplus of Dairy Products In
Country, Says Farm Bureau Head.

Country, Says Farm Bureau Head.
Chicago, Nov. 24.-There is a big
surplus Of milk in the country and
milk prices generally should be lower
than they are, j. W. CoVerdale, Sec
rotary of the American farm bureau
federation, said here in explanation of
the federation's call for a national
conference of milk producers. The
conference. he said, aims to work out
some better method of marketing milk
and will consider the possibilities of
cooperation.
"a number of condenseries abso-
lutely refuse to buy milk and many
producers don't know what to do with
large part of their supply" Mr.
Coverdale said. SIN New York state
producers have put up several of their
own condenseries and have bought
several more that had closed They
propose to can their milk and lay it
away on the shelves until the time
when the public will want it.
There is so much milk without a
demand for 1t that think milk could
be sold for less and still pay out. Peo-
pie use more of ii. Some of the peo-
pie are not using as much milk as they
should.
THE present difficulty dates back,
I think. to-the high price of sugar
Sugar is used in condensing milk and
the eondenseries filled their shelves
with milk put up at high price
There is no export sale and the con-
denseries are trying to force the con-
sumers to buy this milk. The people
are not doing it, and the result is there
is too much condensed milk in the
country"

1t is announced officially that a
large portion of the states revenue
accrues from sources other than the
direct taxes levied on the people, but
If this easy money could be traced to
the place of origin it probably would
be found that most of it came out of
the same pockets that furnish the
taxes. 1t pleases the people who Gre
ate the wealth of the country to be
told that others are sharing with them
the burden of maintaining the gov
eminent. but there is only one source
of supply and that is the industry OF
those who work with their hands.

Colonel Bryan, who should be able
to give expert evidence on the subject,
declares that: The defeat of Gov
ernor Cox will put an end to all agi-
tation for the repeal or weakening of
the Volstead law" Yet the leaders OF
the Prohibition party have just de-
cided that it is necessary to maintain
their organization in order to protect
the volstead law from attack by, its
opponents. But the colonel has ways
OF making money and keeping in the
public eye other than fighting against
an imaginary enemy.

A great building boom is about due,
in the opinion of the American Lum-
herman" which bases its conclusion
on statistics showing that from the
period of 1915 to 1919 the number
of families in this country increased
by 2,O2e,556, while the number of
dwellings increased only 636,s49.
These figures indicate. it says, how
the housing situation is steadily be-
coming worse and how a great po-
tential market for building materials
is being created.

Spain, Persia, Egypt and China have found
joyful reflection in the new gowns, suits,
wraps and hats. The world-old art of cos
tuning women has found many new motifs
and expressions.
But the foundation of all this beauty-thc
corset-remans comparatively unchanged
from its skillful Interpretation of the past
few months. 1t is reassuring to know that
the natural figure is still the vogue; poise and
distinction of carriage gained by a comfort
able support that fairly pcrsuadcs the figure
to graceful lines and proportions, are the
charm of the fashionable woman. If there
is a triAe more indication Of nip at the
waistline, it means no change in the corsctry
of the properly corsetcd woman; it is gained
by the skill of the drcssmakcr who fashions
the clothes to follow more closely the per
fectly proportional figure so the accent at
the waist becomes largely a matter Of
