II couldn't marry you," Hilda had
said, "as you are really nothing but
child. l need a man more my own
mental equal"
"But you're two years younger than
am" Horace had protested.
"True," Hilda had admitted, "but a
woman is always so much older than
a man." Hilda called herself wOm-
an from the time she was sixteen until
she was twenty-one.
Again and again Horace proposed.
Hilda always put him Off, but she all
ways seemed to come back to him af-
ter each worrisome Irritation. Per-
sistency and devotion were Horace's
strong points, and every Christmas as
he took her the yellow rosebuds, which
was his choice of a Christmas bouquet,
he proposed anew. It was Horace's
annual declaration
Hilda loved the flowers-the rose
buds were always so pretty and Hor-
ace had so much taste. Always In the
center was a spray Of holly, and they
were tied with gay red ribbon. And

HIlda cared for Horace, too. But not
enough, not quite enough.
When Hilda was twenty-five she al
most yielded. Someone had that day
asked Hilda her age. She had candid
" admitted she was twenty-five.
Later in the afternoon she had
heard that "if Hilda admitted to TWEEN.
ty-five she must at least be thirty-two."
Hllda felt old then, discouraged. But
she didn't quite accept Horace.
From then on Hilda's age was very
uncertain. Horace was fearful, lest
at first Hilda drop year every year
She could never claim eighteen, or
even twenty, even though she was very
young in appearance, bafillngly SO.
IIilda had been thirty for the past
three years now, and still Horace was
around, admiring her. loving her, more
and more all the time.
But the strain had almost been too
much. Horace had loved Hilda a very
long time. Hilda had taken a long
time alone to become thirty. He
would ask her once more to marry
him, then he would go away, never to
return he told himself dramatically.
"Hilda," he said to her as he gave
her the Christmas bouquet for the
well, he wouldn't keep track of the
number Of times even in his mind

ing? Can't we start out the new year
'togetherT
Cant we-my darling?"
And at last Horace knew bliss.
Shyly, sweetly, clingingly, and with
such slow yielding awakening Hilda
was in his arms, and as she lifted her
lips to his she murmured:
"And you'll take care Of me, won't
you, Horace? And always be good to

dear, and mustn't, mustn't ever be
disillusioned."
And Horace was filed with Christ

the time-a good many years back
now-when she had told him he was
too young for herl
For one thing, he was too happy.
And for another-he didn't think

they could fool the receiver of the
postcards that these cards had not

And he did dislike those who would
say to him after he had had his last
years suit nicely sponged and pressed,
"How that has wornl 1t has certain
ly done you good service, and 1t doesn't
look bad at that"
But especially he disliked and felt
as though he could almost choke those
who were given to telling others to
count their blessings, while they
moaned and groaned and whined and
whlmpered themselves at all times
and about all things.
These were his special averslons,

Hilda promised 10 IudrIy
Horace when she grew up If he'd give
her plenty Of hot buttered popcorn and
Christmas candy elephants In the
meantime. It was a strain on Hor-
aces slender allowance and 1t was not
always easy to get candy elephants
but he succeeded the whole.
There was something so nice about
Hilda. She never made remarks as
some girls did, and men too, for that
matter, which were so annoying.
When she rang up on the telephone
she did not say "Guess who's talking
now, Just guess" and disguise her
voice. She always considered wheth'
er a person might not very easily be
busy, and SO did not have what some
considered a little joke.
There were some kinds Of people
Horace couldn't endure. There were
those who said, for example: IF the
lightning Is going to strike you, it's
going to strike you. It's absurd to
say you're afraid Of It."
Then there were those who would
say in answer to a query about the
temperature Of the ocean and Its con-
dition for swimming:
"rhe water? Why the waters wet"
And then-expected him to laugh.
There were those who would say
"How come" and expected to be put
in bright class, as though they'd said
something startlingly original.

HOT WEATHER HARD ON CORN
But Kansas Crop viii Be Big One
Notwithstanding

The hot, dry weather Of the last
few weeks has hit the Kansas corn
crop an awful blow.
The monthly crop report Of the
state board Of agriculture, issued
today, shows drop OF almost %
points In the condition Of the grow
ing crop, compared with the condi-
tion a month ago.
The reporters for the board indi-
Gated that the crop this year would
he around 100 million bushels. Four
million above the crop of last year
and . million above the 10-year
average.
The report said:
From the highest July rating in
years to the lowest August condition
since 1910, indicates the damage to
the states corn crop in the last
month by dry, hot weather.
Thirty days ago general aver
lge condition of 500 was reported,
rs compared to 66.3 now, or de-
line Of 22.9 points with another
Try week Of high temperatures
urther reducing prospects since the
late Of this canvass.
ION the present showing and con-
idering the continued unravoraDIc
Onditions 1t is ventured that Kan
as would do well to produce 100
lillion bushels Of corn from the s.
10000 acres planted. Last years
rop amounted to 90, 4S4 900 bushels
rom 4,422,000 acres, while the pro-
uction of 1920 was 1873 million
ushels and the 10-year average
! .O10. 900 bushels.
THE best corn prospects are in
lie counties of the eastern and south
'ntral parts, or in general way
lat region lying east and south of
line extending southwest from

FLOWING THE BARN ss
LOTS HELPS HOGS

Hog raisers may accomplish two
desirable results by blowing up the
barn lots at least once year. says
the United States department OF
agriculture. In the hrst place. hogs
need good succulent pasture as much
Of the time as Is possible. and In the
second place they need protection
against internal parasites such ~
roundworms, the eggs Of which re-
main In the soil.
Turning over the soil In the lots
helps to get rid of the pests and the
crop Of forage makes 1t a profitable
operation. In addition TO providing
cheap protein feed, pasture crops
aid as a laxative and require the
hogs to take certain amount of
exercise. which IL necessary to
breeding animals and growing pigs.
Rye Is probably the best crop to
use for fall, winter and spring pas
ture for hogs, the departments cir
cular states. Throughout the corn
belt 1t may be sOwn from August
20 to about October 1, depending |
upon the latitude. In warmer eli
mates the crop may be put In mt var
Gus ines up to as late as December.

Much protection can be had from
chigger attacks by properly clothing
the legs or by the application Of re-
pcllents either directly on the skin
