the story OF a case in which a man

its essentials must be considered as a
blow at lawlessness. rather than a

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: L am girl
about seventeen and deeply in love
with a young man a lot older than
myself. My father objects to my going
with this boy for several reasons.
He is much older and he has been in
thirty eight. different states. In fact
he has travelled about since he was
fourteen.
am of very jealous nature. Just
to see him talk to another girl drives
me wild. My mother does not trust
him either, and yet she tells me to go
with. him after coax herfa long time
He is in debt to my aunt who has
a rooming house and as soon as he
gets out of debt he says he is going to
marry me. But why does he try to
make me jealous?
How can I make my father like
him? OF course mother has rea-
sons for not trusting him He al
ways treated me with respect until
about a month ago he tried to get
smart but would not allow it.
My aunt has plenty of money and
several diamond rings and 1 am her
heir. She would do anything in the
world for me and give me anything
wanted if I would give this boy up
but I can't If he does not marry me
I will do something desperate for I
love him with my whole heart and
soul. When he is away 1 cannot eat
a bite. THANK YOU.
1t is evident that you are not low
ing wisely and that it would be bet
ter to be free from the young man
who infatuates you to such an extent
If 1 were you 1 would not take mat
tiers so seriously. Trust time and fate
to release you from your problem.
You are so very young that am con-
fident your love will mot be lasting
and in time your eyes will be open to
the true character of your beloved.
Try not to think so much about
love. When you are with the young
man, enjoy him for the good that
is in him and only look for good.
Do not permit familiarities because
if you do you will regret it bitterly
later on. If the young man really
loved you he would not try to tease
you by arousing your jealousy. To be
jealous when he merely talks to a girl
is ridiculous however.
You have asked me how you can
make your father like the young man.
1t is not your place, but his to prove
to your father that he is worthy of
you
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am q girl

Wo91d's highest Paid Woman write.

Use Your Thinker-2.
| Most of the trouble in domestic life
, Is caused by want of thought, and not
| by want of heart. When the average
young couple get married they intend
to make each other happy, and their
marriage q success.
The trouble with them is that when
they settle down into the jog trot of
every day family life, they cease to
think about making things pleasant
for each other. They forget to extend
to each other the little courtesies, to
show each other the little attentions,
turns marriage from a dreary grind to
a picnic.
A man really loves his wife He is
| filled with gratitude and admiration
as he realizes the depths of her loyalty
and devotion to him, and watches how
braVely and wisely she meets every
vicissitude of life. He thinks she is
the wonder of the world, and ne
blesses heaven for having bestowed
her upon him, but he lets her starve to
| death for lack of a word of love and
appreciation just because he doesn't
think to say it.
A woman adores her husband. She
would be cut into nlince meat to help
travagance, or she nags him into the
grave Just because she doesn't think
what effect her senseless spending or
eternal whining and complaining have
The people who do not think make
nine-tenths of the work of a house
hold. Somebody is forever getting
extra meals for those who do not
come in time for dinner; somebody is
picking up papers. and hanging up
clothes, and sweeping up cigarette
stubs and putting books back in their
places for those who do not think.
Half the tombstones that are erected
over the graves of mothers might have
engraved on them: Murdered by her
children who did not think"
Most of us have better hearts than
we have heads. We do not mean to
be unkind. We are just stupid, and
dull of apprehension. We don't think
when we should think, but oh. what
an appalling record our lack of
thought rolls up against US.
The helping hand we might have
held out to save some struggler from
drowning in the sea of misfortune;
the letter of coincidence that would
have brought comfort, that we might
have written; the need of praise we
might have given; the word of tender
ness, and love that would have made
a sad heart sing for joy.
And our only excuse for not having
made the world better and a bright
er place is I didn't think''-the ex-
cuse of an inbecile and a fool offered
by an intelligent human being.
Funny, isn't it? And pitiful.

full craft work. Old Chief Joseph and
other chiefs helped Kim to add to his
collection, and Navajo Charlie, one of
the best blanket makers of his tribe
and one of the comparatively few
of his work.
The Indians have never profited by
this principle of the increased value
of old blankets. Twenty dollars in the
hand means more to them than
possible hundred dollars a few years
hence. So long as the white man pays
cash they are satisfied.

CLEANING MILKING MACHINES
Suggestions Prepared by DR.. A. 2.
Hanna for California Department
Of Agriculture.

The following suggestions for clean
Ing milking machines were prepared
by Dr. A. f. Hanna, field veterinarian
for the California department of agri-
culture:
/. When through milking run warm
water through tubes.
2. Thoroughly brush with hot water
and washing compound all parts with
which the milk comes In contact.
3.-Place tubes, etc. IN water which
has reached the boiling point and per
NIT them to remain therein for 80 to
60 minutes Do not resort to further
boiling.
4. Place tubes, etc. In brine and
chloride of lime solution and drain
three to five minutes before the next
milking period. They viii then be
ready for use.
Small top pals are used for strip
ping the cows.
The four main points q, 2, 3 and ~
are observed daily In the morning, and
only the third point Is omitted In the

EARLY HATCHED FOWLS BEST

EoG Supply Is Low.

Every fall hens take a vacation. In
doing so they have very important
business on hand. Typically feminine
By nature they insist upon having a
new dress each fall. During their va

their old plumage and in growing new,
and their energy Is so occupied In this
way that they lay few or no eggs
The process of mott or changing their
plumage takes at least three months
on the average, and 1t Is due to this
three months vacation that the supply
of fresh eggs is so scarce during the
fall and winter. Early hatched pull

upon these early hatched pullets that
the poultry keeper must depend for
his supply of eggs during the time the

early and have a nice bunch OF early

SELECTION OF DAIRY HElFER
Head Is Excellent index TO Breeding.
Quality and Value Of Animal
Other Points-

A great amount OF Information can
be obtained from a study of the head
of the heifer calf. The head is an ex-
celIent index TO the breeding. quality
and value OF the animal The eye
should be large, bright, clear. indicat-
Ing good health; the face should be
medium in length, free from fleshlness,
showing an expression which the true
dairyman cannot refrain from calling
sweet; the nOstrils large and well
diIated to allow for the entrance Of
plenty OF air; the muzzle large and
broad, indicating a good feeder, and
the jaw should be strong.
The constitution can be judged In
part by standing In front of the heifer
calf. We do not Ike a calf that stands
with the front legs close together. This
Is an Indication of poor constitution.
The legs should be straight and wide
apart, making room for a wide chest
door.
The calf should be examined next
from the side. The neck should be
neat, slim and medium In length. A
short. thick neck is desired on the beef
animal. but upon the dairy animal
II Is never associated with good dairy
type or high milk production. The
neck should blend neatly into the
shoulder which should be rather spare
