The lest OF Love-.
The other day 1 found Maud in
tears
what is the matter?" I inquired.
Jack broke an engagement with
me to meet some horrid customer"
she sobbed. HE said it was most
important, because the man was only
going to be in town a few hours, and
he had to see him, but it shows that
he doesn't think I'm important, and
that my pleasure is to be considered.
He puts his old business ahead of nee,
and it proves he doesn't lo-o-o-ve me-
and then she boo-hooed some more.
"Cheerio,'' l said, dry you'll eyes
and rejoice. for Jack has just given
you the strongest proof of love that
any human being is capable of mani
Testing. He has shown that he is
willing to work for you. that he is
willing to sacrifice himself for you,
| that he is looking forward to protect
ing your future.
Words are cheap. About the
easiest and least costly thing any man
can do is to sit down and fan a girl
| with hot air, and tell her how won
derfuf and beautiful she is. and how
he adores her, and that every hour
that he is away from her is a weary
eternity.
Lots of men will do that. and they
will camp on a girls parlor chairs.
play around with. her. and always be

to go to dance. or the movies. or
some place of amusement, but they
| loaf along on their Jobs, and never
get enough money to get married on.
And the poor, silly, little girl be-
| lieves that she has inspired q grand
/, passion in he mans breast because
! he talks SO much about it, and be-
| cause he is always hanging around
! ready to help her enjoy herself.
Believe Ine, daughter,N there's
| nothing in sentimental twaddle to
which woman can tie. The acid test
of love is not what man says To
| you, but how much he is willing To
do for you. The real lover doesn't
| sigh, and moon about, and curse tho
cruel fate that keeps you apart. He
rolls up his sleeves, and gets out anil
husties to bring the wedding day
nearer. Don't put any faith in the
man who spends hours telling you
| that he wishes he were a fairy prince
who could give you a palace by the
sea to live in, and nectar and am
hrosia to feed upon. Pin your faith
to get you n little bungalow, or a
small apartment. and three square
meals a day, for you to eat.

The prediction that Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty's ruling regarding
liquor on ships would be used to boost
the ship subsidy bill already is COM
ing true. The American Steamship
owners association, in a statement,
points out that the rulings if enforced
will greatly handicap American ships,
adding: There is but one way in
which the advantage of foreign lines
may be met. and that is by national
aid along the lines now provided for
in the national shipping bill. The as
ISOLATION believes that the friends of
prohibition appreciate the situation
and will be among the strongest ad-
every assistance that is necessary to
maintain and upbuild the merchant
marine. This statement was followed
by declaration from the Methodist
Episcopal church board of temper
anee, prohibition and public morals
that it would advocate the churches
OF America get behind the American
merchant marine to show that a pro-
hibition marine can be made to pay.
We feel an obligation" it added, ION
the part of the churches to see to it
that American vessels have such ad-
vantages as will compensate for the
disadvantages in competing with for
eisn lines which carry liquor

HEART and HOME PROB EMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: am a girl
seventeen years of age and have been
going with a fellow eighteen years OF
age for two years. At Christina S. time
he gave me a very nice present and
he has always said he liked me better
than anyone else in the world.
This young man has a very bad
habit of drinking. He has tried many
times to quit on my account, but il
seems he must drink. He won't drink
for about month, and then he gets
out with some fellows and drinks
again. He always says he is sorry and
expects me to forgive him. I always
do forgive him because I love him,
altho 1 have never told him / loved
him
He says if I care very much for him
I won't turn him down for drinking
once in a while. I love him very much
and think he must love me or he
years. He has only been with three
other girls in all this time. We have
had quarrels, but we never stay angry.
Please advise me what to do.
BETTY.
There are hospitals where drunk
ards are cured. The young man ought
to consult a physician and see how
much it would cost him and how long
he would have to be confined in such
a place. Then if he loves you he will
save money in order to take such a
cure. He is unfair in saying that if
you love him you will not give him up
All the odds are against marriage with
a drunkard. If he cannot break him.
self. of the habit now he certainly will
not do so after marriage, because then
he will have you as his own and will
not be so eager to please you. Unless
he overcomes this habit do not con-
slider marriage for a minute.

Trade and industry are on the up
curve and federal reserve reports, as
well as all market Indications, go TO
show that stocks, on hand in retail
stores are likely to prove inadequate
for the impending popular demand
for merchandise of all kinds. Prices
generally are advancing and every
sign points to further increases. Lines
on which future delivery is requisite
steadily expand in number. Every
market expert, the Dry Goods Econo-
mist says, now advises merchants to
buy. at once to cover full requirements
ZIP to the end of the year. The much
discussed risk of initiation is regarded
as a matter of less immediate impor-
lance than is the liability of shortages
in goods available for the impending
demand

Discussing the excessive costs of
distribution under modern business
f1ethods, a writer in Forbes Magazine
points out that 4s.1 cents OF the dol
lar the consumer paid for corn flakes
in 1921 went for selling expenses. He
says: while It is true the farmer
who grew the corn received only Fl
cents out of the consumers dollar. in
1921. and that the cost of manufac-
t1fing corn into flakes accounts for
only 81 cents out of the dollar yet the

APPLES RIPE FOR EATING.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


Apples ripe for eating. and the CRATE fire
blazing high,
And outside the moon of autumn fairly
swimming in the sky;
The cellar packed with good things from
the vine and field and tree,
oh, the speech of man can't tell 1t, but it
somehow seems to me
With such warmth and cheer around us,
we fhouid all burst into song
And store enough of gladness now to last
our whole lives long.
Apples ripe for eating-tbere's a joy be-
yond compare
To pay for all our trouble, and the burdens
The bowl upon the table filled with round
and rosy cheeks.
And enough down in the cellar to last all
the winter weeks.
So that when the bowl is empty we can
fill il up again
And in spite of that we grumble and we
bitterly complain.
I sometimes sit and wonder as we pack
life's fruits away
And hoard them in the cellar FOR the bleak
and wintry day,
Why the mind of man has never tried to
store a stock of cheer
So that when joys bowl is emptied and he
thinks that life is vain
He can seek his hoard ofpleasures and just
fill it up again
Apples ripe for eating and a stock of
For the long cold nights of winter we shall
shortly come to know
So that when we need a pleasure that win
seem to soothe the soul
We can wander to the cellar and fill up
the apple bowl.
So we could. If we were mindful, when our
hearts with grief are sad
Refresh our faltering courage with the
pleasures we have had

Az extraordinary suggestion for
gFonp OF distinguished lawyers to
MAKE is that of the committee on law
endorsement of the American Bar as
sociation that the manufacture and
sale of pistols except for government
and official use" be prohibited. To
prevent murder by depriving the muir
dsrer of arms is impossible.-New
York World. ..-..-- .---
But why is it impossible? Prob
pbly 80 per cent of the killings in this
c6untry are done with pistols. II the
Eiller were not provided with a pistol
n hardly any instance would he kill
The possession of a pistol carries with
it a temptation to use it should an oc-
oasion, real or fancied. arise. There
are few arguments that have been
used in support of prohibition of lq-
uor that do not apply equally to gun
toting.

But when we add up the selling ex-

fortunately corn flakes are not nee

who objects to the price can refuse to

feet upon the>lumber industry in more
ways than one. 1t will encourage the
commercial planting of forests by en-
abling the use of trees much smaller

thus shorten the period of rotation in
forest culture. Furthermore, by max

logs which by reason OF imperfections
would not saw up into clear timber.
