Love and Marriage.

TTERE'S a letter so clearly
expressed that it tells its
-AA own story:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
after travelling many years on
a straight, and narrow road with
no love affairs to make me pause
have at last come to a point
where the road branches off. I
must take my choice.
"One sign reads: Road to
love, happiness and struggle for
the sake OF home and children
with office work
1.-THE other sign reads: Road
to a comfy future with no money
worries without love, but with
respect which may grow into
love-
(which road shall I travel?
81 met young man six months
ago who is going to law school.
He is twenty and I am twenty
two. We are hopelessly in love.
He has asked me to wait two
years until he has finished
school. Then he wants me to
marry him.
Should I take that big chance
and live on hope for two years?
''He may change his mind.
Where would he leave me? I
would be heart-broken and would
be down on men for the rest Of
my life If anything came up In
the two years to make him leave
me. All my hopes are centered on
him and I love him to the utter
most.
1.-THE road to comfort I can
travel, il I wish, with a man I
met about the same time 1 met
the man 1 love. This second man
is two years my senior.
HE is ready to marry me any
day. If marry him it will mean
no more office work, a pretty
apartment and his love and kind
ness. Perhaps may learn to
love him, then everything win
come out all right. But this Is a
big chance to take. I am gam
bling with love and happiness.
What shall do?
Can you give me some infor-
nation that will put me on the
right road? 1 am in a dreadful
dilemma and win follow your
advice. LILLIAN"
Like many another dilemma,
that Of Lillian is less puzzling to
the outsider with a clear per-
spective than to the person most
concerned. Lillian is confused
because so much depends on her
decision and because her emo.
tons are involved.
You are choosing on the one
hand, Lillian, between love and
liking; on the other between lux
urious comfort and struggling
hard work.
When it comes to marriage
there's no room for choice be-
tween love and liking.
Love doesn't bring happiness,

Yet you'll find that happiness

Minerals Fed to Steers
Found to Be Beneficial

Minerals for steers were tried at
the Iowa station during the past win
ter. mixture of so pounds ground
limestone. 80 pounds spent bone-black
and one-third ounce of potassium To-
dide was fed to the steers at the rate
of one ounce per head per day. The
steers in this experiment got shelled
corn, corn silage. clover hay and oil
meal, with salt available at all times.
The cattle which had minerals gained
slightly better, had a better appetite
and were a little better finished at
the end of the feeding period than
other cattle which had the same ration
minus the minerals.
Mineral feeding to steers is still In
the experimental stage, but the results
at the Iowa station indicate that II
may be worth while. Where good
clover or alfalfa hay is fed, we should
expect that minerals have less effect
than In a ration in which the hay has
less mineral matter than clover or
Those who can easily secure
the minerals can well afford to try the
Iowa mixture with their next load of
steers.
