THE WAY TO HIS HEART

regular thing for him to come once or twice a week, and I never let him leave without feeling sure that he was sim ply going to dream of that food until he could hardly wait to come again.
 ssNy dear, it worked like a charm. Of course he's intellectual, too, and we had wonderful talks about books and things. And after a few weeks he got to the point where he actually thought my hair pretty and didn't seem able to observe the freckles on my nose. In fact, things went so smoothly that l got dissatisfied"
 ''How do you mean?" asked the black haired girl, her eyes still fixed on the diamond.
 'eWell-' Genevieve was beginning to look slightly emotional. You see IT suppose I do believe in love, and didn't want to think that he cared for l me- simply for cooking. I'd really grown lawfully fond of him, and so- well, I put him to a test. l had him come over one night when the cook was out and I got dinner myself, and it was awful. Perfectly awful! ] burned the meat and the potatoes were not cooked enough and the biscuits were heavy and everything went wrong. And then I confessed to him i that q prepared, Ine uIIlIieT InySelI and that it was the best I could do. thought if he could stand knowing l that-''
 She stopped, her eyes fixed on the ring.

 The black-haired girl looked al

 You're awfu1ly clever!" she said But the clever girl was jumping ur

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Just the same favorable impression Is bound to be made upon the voters of the town by the candidates named on ttS republican town ticket as was ere ateG in the caucus of that party For the past several years Norwich has had reason to be proud of the manner in which the affairs of the town have been conducted. It has repeatedly recog- uSzod that town business was being conducted on business lines, that the in- terests of the many were getting con sideration rather than those of the few, that attention was being given to the welfare of the community and the pock- etbook of the taxpayer and there are few towns that have had more econ- onicaI administration.
 In view of the situation. which in all directions indicates the handling of the affairs Of the town in the same con scientious and careful manner that at tenton would be given to a successful private business, it was the expected thing that the republicans should re- nominate Casper K. Bailey for first se- Iectman and name with him for a mem Der of the board Charles P. Bushnell The work of these men as town off cisls stands out so favorably that re nomination expresses the sentiments O many more than republicans. It is gen orally recognized that their excellent record deserves rot only renominatior but reelection.
 With similar discriminating care ans Q determination to have all branches o Town affairs equally well administere} the caucus made nominations that ar, sure to appeal in selecting John B. ca and A. V. Manning for members O the hoard of assessors. and J. c. Fitz patrick and r. c. Prothero for the boart os relief
 As town clerk and treasurer Charle s Holbrook has repeatedly demon st-ated his fitness for the office Faith ful. accurate and courteous servic coun- for much in that position and tn own clerk long ago showed he pos tess-s and exercises those qualifications
 The endorsement of Harold T. Robin ron for tax coNectGr indicates the DOT u,aritv of this veteran of the late war while the choice of W. F. Lester and j C. Macpherson for members of the tow school board is. to be commended. it be Ing realized of course that the nomina ton of these last four men insure their election, quite the same as it doe t- the case of Registrar of Voters T. T Guy. who has long and efficiently file that responsible position, and D. F. Nc --e1 the canable town auditor.
 With equally good discrimination tn c-urus filled the remaining offices wit t-- regard for the service that is ey 7sctsd If is a ticket that cannot ia Co make its appeal to all voters who ar concerned with the welfare of the tow and should secure their enthusiasti support.

Tt certainly is a beauty" the black haired girl said for the twentieth time.
 She was looking at the diamond on the haired girls left hand, and there was more than hint of sur prise mixed in with her admiration.
 And it's a little surprising, too" she centured tentatively. You know, Genevieve, we've never thought of you as caring for men at all. You've been such a bookworm, always"
 ''Yes, bookworm, always" the red haired girl laughed. She wasn't pretty. but she looked clever.
 T don't mind telling you" she began. 'fYou see, I decided that it was time for me to marry if I was ever to do so, and since no man had expressed de- sire for me I felt that I should have to pick one out for myself. When came to look around at most of the men I know I could see that I didn't stand a chance. They're all nice pros | porous creatures whose families pet and feed them and urge them on to think that the prettiest girls in town are none too good for them. l decided that my man would have to be one who needed betting. So I picked on one who lived in a boarding house.
 "Of course there are plenty of nice men who have to board, and it wasn t hard to meet one. I went and spent a week with Mary Glenn at the place where she lives, and there I met Ralph. It was just luck that he happened to be the right one. I might have had to go on looking for perfect ages. But Ralph met all my requirements. He was not handsome enough to be con- ceited he did not object to women's having the vote, he belonged to a good family and had a fine position, and he looked as though he were simply pin ing for a square meal of good home cooking.
 "It was. easy to get to the point where I could ask him to call, an6 after the first time, when I fed hin homemade cake and real coffee before a real fireplace, it was only natural tC ask him to dinner.

FUTrRE CRops OF WOOD.

Every now and then there are condi- lions disclosed which go to show that the timber supply of this country is rapidly being depleted Where there Is SO much smoke there must be some fire. T. may be possible to make certain claims and maintain them for g time without much proof but sooner or later any such representation is bound to collapse. As 10 the growing shortage ct the timber supply there Is plenty o1 evidence to support the claims made. Each year great inroads are made into the forests and the efforts towards re- placing such raw material arc made Cuats to insure sufficient to meet the growing requirements that can be an- tcipated for the future in keeping with tte growth of the nation.
 only certain of the trees are used for the making of wood pulp but the depletion of such pulp wood has not only forced consideration of other ma ter,als for the manufacture of paper but caused much more serious attention tc be given to the future. It Is therefore In keeping with the needs that the American Forestry association should urge reforastation of those areas which have been cut over by the mills which have been operating for the pur. bose of getting out timber or pulpwood The idea being that inasmuch as there has been taken from the available sup. ply such as has been needed to meet requirements steps should be taken tc Zee that trees are now planted that vii come 10 maturity quarter of a cen trees in such 2 manner each year there would be under development a future supply when that which is now avail able Is, exhausted in 25 to 30 years. I'm association believes that states shouli promote such work through Legislation 10 make certain q permanent supply.
 In connection with the gathering 0 erops from the soil attention is for tn most part centered upon what can b sown and reaped in a few months. ; l lakes longer than that for trees t. grow. Those planted this year wilt re qui-e from 25 to 50 years to be read For market but there is a demand 10 that crop quite tho same as there 1 Tor others and if the demand is goini to be met there must: be a foundation laid for the supply, andy that can b done in no better or more proftabl way than by replanting to forests thos lands that have hitherto been used fe Such purposes and adding thereto sue other territory as can be utilized.

THE WOODEN SHIPS.

When the suggestion is made that there ought to be an investigation of the wisdom of the proposed course of the shipping board in disposing of the wooden ships for s2.100 apiece it can be appreciated that there is a desire to avoid if possible the large loss that is involved in such a sale and to return to the government as large sum as possible out of the money that has been squandered in building those ships. That is a policy that many have felt should be employed in connection with all war material, but while it is com mendable to want to save, sight cannot be overlooked of the large loss that is Inevitable because they were construct ed at top notch prices, of the fact that they were built of material that has se- riously affected their value, of the fact day and of the fact that there has been difficulty in obtaining such a price and some experts in steamship property have declared that they would not take them as a gift.
 Steamships. whether constructed of wood or steel are not worth what they were when the demand was for ships l ships and more ships, while the ex- pense of maintaining these ships is each year increasing the loss which the government must ultimately shoulder Another suggestion is made to the effect that if the prospective owners plan to operate these ships why cannot the government do as well. The coun- try and the shipping board are aware of the fact that the government should not be in the business of operating ships Private enterprise can conduct such business where 1t would be a con stant embarrassment to the govern ment.
 1 The idea of holding other ships un
 til they would bring much more nearl!
 what they are considered to be worti has shown that the government mus l tako heavy losses on ships as a part O the cost of the war, and that Is wha
 must be done with the wooden fleet l

changes incident to the busting of cer- tain royal families In Europe, much in terest Is aroused by the announcement that the estates of Archduke Frederick of Austria have been purchased by an American syndicate. and from such in formation as is given about the deal it would indicate not only a big acqui- sition of territory and valuable rights but quite a considerable bit of legal trouble.
 The estates. as 1t Is understood, do not involve the crown land Rather Is it property that was handed down to him from other than the Hapsburgs, or built up and acquired so that if the American buyers arc correct in regard to the title they have not bought prop erty that can be confiscated as having been that of the Hapsburgs
 That the deal is a big one is evident, but in keeping with that and the ex- tent of the property it is evident that the syndicate hasn't disfegarded the probable legal tangles since it has been announced that it plans action against several governments which already in- terfere with the acquired rights. Even at this stage, however. it presents an interesting result of the war.

TAMPICo: WHERE WAR

PRICES DIED HARD
 Americans who saw prices skydocket at home and who saw themselves and their neighbors nearly lose their sense or money values, would have felt thor oughly at home in Tanpico the great Mexican CA town during the last few years says bulletin issued from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society"
 This was the port to which United States gunboats were sent recently when the closing down of American oil wells and refneries because of heavy Mexican taxes threw thousands of men out of work, and disorders were feared.
 'Tampico, long a port of no great im- portance, has had a mushroom growth in the last f1fteCn years" continues the ] bulletin, 'its population increasing from | less than 17,00o in 1906 to well over 1 100000 today. And the explanation for i this great stride forward can be given | in one word-oil. The biggest 'gusher the world had ever known was drilled near Tampico in 1908 and scores of eth. CT huge streams of oil have been open. l ed UT, in the same vicinity since. Hun. dreds of millions of gallons of oil have passed through Tampico, and the towr has been the financial and business headquarters for fields many miles | away.
 Money flowed easily into the pocket. of a large number of American mana gers and technical workers who were brought in, and into the hands of Mexi can landowners. merchants and day la 1 borers. The World war raised the de nand for liquid fuel to unheard O heights and it seemed that everyone fl Tampico was becoming wealthy. Condf tions closely paralleled those in the oi towns of the United States.

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
Teaching Through Play
By Mrs. c. w. Savage.

Is there kindergarten in your corn- munity ?
 No? Then why not practice kinder garten principles in your own home :: I do not mean by this that you must sit down and devote every second for three hours to your children. But teach your child while you are about your work. Teach him through play.
 Today play is considered a great factor in education. Play is the ex- pression of weakening instincts. Watch your little girl with her doll. The doll is her baby and she is its mother. Through this play she is de- yeloping the instinct of mother love. Watch your little boy playing store or fireman. He, too, is preparing for fu- ture manhood. Let us then teach through play.
 It is an acknowledged fact that the kindergarten gives child certain ad- vantages, by cultivating self-confi- dence, the power of observation, or

rR1FLING WITH PUBLIC SAFETY

From an inspection of the bridge over the river at Chester, Pa, which gave way with a crowd of people it Is dis closed that the break was due to the rusting away of a portion of the iron work, leaving it so weak that the ex- tra weight, which wsf however, no more than a bridge of that character ought to be expected to sustain, caused 1t to collapse. The result is that many precious lives which cannot be re- stored have been sacrificed.
 It is well of course to establish the cause of such disasters but it is to be realized that such sad affairs can and should be prevented, The most effec- tive and valuable work in connection with that heavy loss of life should have been done months ago and if as claimed the bridge had been inspected and con- den1ned on three occasions there seems to be duty devolving upon the author ities of that city for the purpose of giving greater protection to the lives of its citizens.
 A bridge that had been condemned three times certainly should not have been left in any such condition as that one was. It doesn't do much good to calm that an inspection was made ten months ago for under the circumstances bridge that was safe ten months ago should have been safe last week. Such an inspection indicates that it was far from thorough and that proper consid- eration was not given to safety.
 Whether conditions require new bridge or substantial repairs 1t should be realized that public safety is never served by taking chances with weak and dangerous structures. Chester ha! unquestionably had a lesson from whicl other communities that may be prac- ticing the same policy can wisely profit
