Kentucky Crop Report

This months preliminary estimate
of the acreage of corn indicates a
crop of about 92,791, 900 bushels,
compared to O0,65O, 900 bushels last
year, while oats are estimated at
only 6,565,000 bushels, compared to

fields of oats in various parts of the

cut with a mower or be pastured.

"Belnu Popular with Men"

GLOW does she manage it'll" an ole
maid friend of mine exclaimed as
she heard of the third engagement Of
a widow neither rich nor beautiful.
The old maid, whose name is Jane
is mighty nice girl and her own
sex likes her, but she does not know
one thing about how to act with
men.
"Act naturalw | hear some man
exclaim and I admire him for his
short sightedness.
Let us take up the case of Jane,
who holds the worlds record for
losing her male admirers. The min
ute man notices her she begins to
work overtime she crowds the agony,
she begins to primp, to smirk, to
giggle and to be kittenish, which is
not becoming to sober Jane, and
everyone in the room awakes to the
fact that something very heavy and
particular is on. The man, feeling
himself the object Of all this extra
effort, is at first amused and then
disguised. 1t certainly looks as if
Jane were both man. crazy and hard
up. The man runs the first chance
he has for fear she will marry him
at the point of the revolver or drag
him to the minister with both her
arms around his neck in a strange
hold.
When a man rings Jane up she
never has the courage and the sense
to tell him occasionally that she has
date. She is always ready to
jump into his arms and frankly
shows her delight. Men like to do
their own hunting and are bored by
the girl who is always ready for
them and has no other admirers.
And when everything else fails,
Jane rings them up! Foolish girl, |

to be prodded into life by means of |
notes and phone calls the end has !

her-the one who buries two hus.
bands and who is about to acquire
third.
She is not particularly young, she
is not particularly pretty and she is
not wealthy, so it is evident she must
win by her charm. One Of the first
things which are evident about her
and which pleases the masculine
taste is that she is a most sympa-
thetic and intelligent listener and
can cheer a man up, no matter how
tired and respondent he is. That
is a wonderful talent and no wonder
the boys like to drop in to her coy
little quarters and have tea with her.
She never makes the mistake of
telling her troubles-or still less of
weeping. When she has the blues,
she has the good taste and common
sense to stay by herself. She doesn't
inflict her moods on her friends.
How men hate a crying woman! If
they would only realize how homely
tears are and how they irritate the
average man!
Then Mrs. Early Bird knows how
to dress. She doesn't sport all the
colors of the rainbow. She knows
the value Of a smart black dress,
the right shoes and immaculate
gloves. She doesn't overdo the make

Risk Man Sees
Prosperity Ahead

With indications that business al
ready has begun to revive at lower
price level, 1922 should be a good
year, 1923 still better and 1924 the
most prosperous year in the history
of the United States, James r. Duff
fin, president of the Inter- Southern
Life Insurance Company, declares
in a letter which is being mailed to
policyholders of the company.
Seven reasons are given for this
prediction of approaching prosper
'ity: "First the warehouses of the
world are empty; second, interna-
tional credit will be measurably re-
established by the last quarter Of
1921, and will be freely used for
the next four years; third, Europe
will have gone to work in reconstruc-
ton and will pay in sound paper for
the raw materials and products Of
America; fourth, the railroads will
begin repairing and rebuilding their
equipment the last quarter of 1921
and will gradually reduce freight
rates to the normal price level of
other commodities; fifth, the price
of labor will not come down excess
sively, but the price Of commodities
will be adjusted to meet and equal
ize the price of labor; sixth, prod
ucts of the field and farm grad
ually will bring increasing prices,
until they will again appear to be
bringing normal prices in 1924; sew
enth, the business interests of the
world have concluded that the coun-
try population of the United States
must prosper if the city population
is to prosper and be fed"

Of all the bores the girl who talks
about herself continually is the
worst. She makes the mistake of
thinking that ! she is booming her
stock in trade by telling what Jimmy
said to her last night and how she
vamped him. The truth is that the
man is thinking how indiscreet she
is and vowing that he will never
give her a chance to tell similar con-
fidences about him. That girl is 60
ing to lose a great deal of interesting
conversation that way and perhaps
a really good proposal of marriage
from a nice man.
The secret of interesting men is to
be unselfish, agreeable, charming
and cheerful good company. Good
fellowship counts for as much as
looks-more if you will believe some
men who are wise in choosing their
life partners.

lain deed was received from Van

SAINT.
On October IL, 1921, the quit claim
deed was sent to the register Of deeds
of Golden Valley County, but it could
not be recorded because taxes for 1920
amounting to $872.49 had not been
paid. Since that time land has been
sold for 1920 taxes and taxes for 1921
have accrued. The farm loan depart
ment has written for a statement Of
the taxes at present.
The loan record shows that on the
original appraisal 1900 acres were
under cultivation and later papers
showed 500 acres broken.

The survey of the farm loan condi.
lions thus far made by Mr.. Default
has revealed such q condition that he
has decided to reject all loan approv-
as and cancel all appraisals on loans
where the mortgage papers are not
yet actually signed and to investigate
carefully all other loans now in pro-
cess of being closed. Applications
and appraisals of securities are thus
set aside for the reason that in many
cases they appear to be unreliable and
excessive in valuation, according to
Mr.. Default. and the system of doing
business will be changed from the ap-
plication blanks up and an average Of
much smaller loans provided for.
