HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: read a let
ter in the paper where a wife was go
ing to get even with her husband. 1t
brought to my mind how L tried to
avenge myself for the lonesome il1e
my husband wanted me to live, but
my revenge fell SO heavy on my own
heart 1 would rather die than live.
NY husband If fifteen years older
than I am. Day after day and night
after night he has left me. He had
friend who came and went as one
of the family. AS sat alone with my
little girl on my lap, the door opened
and my husbands friend came in.
Seeing my husband was not at home.
he turned to go away. asked him
to stay. for 1 was lonesome staying in
by myself SO much
1 didn't think there was any harm
in my asking him, but in a short time
1 found 1 loved this man. When he
took me in his arms and kissed my
face and lips I couldn't draw away,
but in a short time my arms were
around his neck; kisses for. kisses
and how loved him God only knows.
Things went this way until last May.
when it came to me what was doing.
I caught my husband kissing a girl
who was visiting me. When I went
to put my hand on his shoulder to let
him know 1 saw them, my hand fell
and a whisper was in my ear remind
ing me of what had done, and SO I
turned away.
When our friend came again,
begged for one kiss and for him not
to come to see me again, but did not
tell him why. Giving him up almost
killed me. I have seen his face twice
since then and I know always when
he comes to town. The last time I
saw him he didn't speak and it was a
week before I could look the world
in the face My suffering was the
answer to my revenge. If he reads
this L Kant him to know that that
May morning asked him not to come
was the last time will ever smile 1
thought OF his wife and children and
realized that she surely loved him as
did and I could not come between
them.
When my sorrow is so great I beg
God to help me and bless him 1t
doesn't pay to get even

The federal land bank system ap-
peals to the farmer because he is
compelled to pay high interest rates
on farm mortgages. 1t was developed
at a hearing before the ways and
means committee of the house that
the capital once available at fair rates
for farm loans became more and more
scarce as the special taxation was
loaded upon it. The man with enough
money to bring him under the oper-
alton of the surtax found he could get
a better return by investing in tax free
securities than in farm mortga ges.
tho at a lower interest rate. Farm
mortgages totaling more than $1,000
100000 are outstanding and the fed
eral land banks now are carrying only
s415.o0O,OOo, or about per cent.
Ninety-five per cent OF the farmers
are paying a. higher interest rate be-
cause the tax system has driven mon
ey out Of the mortgage market.

Daily Talk
WAYS no KEEP FRIENDS,

have been asked by one of the
readers of these Talks to tell how
friends may be kept. 1 give as the
best rule for keeping a friend, the ad-
vice of another-be a friend your
self
We attract to ourselves in a large
measure those qualities and character
istic in others which predominant in
US, or which we desire should rule
in us.
A friend is the most precious pos
session in this world. Therefore we
should not regret the time and pa
come one, so that we may hold not
one-but many.
One of the most important ways
to keep a friend after you have one,
is to see his good points and play
up to them
The reason why it is so easy and
natural to pick the flaws in our friends
is that we have so many ourselves
and that makes them quickly recogiz-
able in others.
But I know of no better way to lose
a friend than to start finding fault
with him.
Learn TO overlook. and then you
will be surprised at the many won
derful qualities your friend possesses
which YOU had no idea he did
Thoughtfulness toward those YOU
love and want as your friends will
bring you rich rewards of happiness.
Try " LINK Oh the 1LIle Things Wn1C n
might bring sunshine and cheer to
your friend.
Be tolerant-and be just. How in
clined We all are to see the unjust
acts of our friend without weighing
our own sense of justicet
We all crave friends deeply
Nevertheless it is well that we do not
see too much of those who are dearest
to US. The freshness of friendship
is one Of the most precious gifts that
can come to us. To give something
new and attractive to those we so
much love, every time we come in
contact with them, is a great preserva-
tive of the relationship of friendli-
ness.
And-be kindI It's an over worked
word. know. But il has never lived
its life out
Unkind words can never be recalled.
And sometimes. as the years thicken,
those words sink deeper into the heart
and every once in a while, they hurt
in their hidden nest.
A sincere friend can afford to smile
many things away!

exactly like those in the west They
just go about things differently"
The chances of the finance COM

and reporting tie resolution favorably

seem to be any objection to the United

Nobody ever missed the automobile or

ing before the ways and means COM
nlittee has again emphasized the dan
ger TO be expected from the actual ap-
pIication OF any bonus plan on the
present basis. This warning is partic-
ularly noteworthy in view OF the state
of things described by the controller
of the currency, who urged that
banks. already overburdened with
frozen loans, be given a better oppor-
turity to recover and be freed of the
danger which would accrue to them
from practically compulsory discount
ing OF adjusted compensation certifi-
Gates
The disturbance and alarm evident
in business and financial circles is due
less to the prospect OF the bonus itself
than to the manner OF paying it that
is proposed All this could be over
come by the simple expedient of
coupling the sales tax with the bonus
legislation
The growth of sentiment in favor
of the sales tax among thinking bust

last year or more is amazing Per-
haps no more lucid expression OF be-
lief IN this tax has been made than

No day is like its yesterday.
