depends on how carefully you ham
die it. There is nothing more de-
than the wit that plays like
a. lambent flame over dull subjects
and makes them bright and Interest
ing, and nothing so terrible as the
wit that is like a soaring fire that
scorches everything it touches. TO
be agreeable, wit must be good'na-
tured and laugh with us. There. is
a vast difference between that and
the cruel wit that laughs at us, and,
unfortunately, not many witty peo-
pie know this, and SO they make enc!
mics instead of friends and people
fear them and avoid them.
This is especially true of women,
whose wit is apt to- be of an ACID
nature. Once they find that they can
make people laugh by saying sharp
and witty things. they cannot resist
the temptation. They will make an
epigram at the price of losing a
friend. They will stab their nearest
and dearest to the heart with :"
speech that cuts like a two-edged
sword.
To say things that hurt is not only
cruel, but it is the cheapest form of
wit. Any one can do it who is I'M
feeling enough not to care for the
pain he or she inf1icts, for all of us
are more or less human jokes. and
there is not one of us who has not
peculiarities that make US look like
figures of fun when we are held up
to deriSiOn.
This is why men don't like witty
women. They realize that the WON
an who makes fun of one person
will make fun of another, and that
every one who comes near her is
grist for her mill, and so they fight
shy of her because they do not want
to be her next victim. They do not
relish the thought that their eccen-
tricities will furnish her next bon
mot Besides, a man always feels
himself at disadvantage with a
woman who makes sarcastic
speeches. He cannot answer her back
in kind without failing in the defer
ence that a gentleman pays woman
hood.
Men like jolly, good-natured, hui
mOrous women; women who see the
amusing side of things, but they
don't like sharp-tongued, sarcastic
women. Therefore, if you wish to be
popular, [ earnestly advise you to
swallow your witticisms, even if you
choke on them.
And never, never joke with a man
about any of his weaknesses. No
man has a funny bone that you can
tickle with a little pleasantly about
himself. He takes himself seriously,

A great institution Of learning
which will be a living memorial to
Americas great war president.
Woodrow Wilson, and which will
represent an initial investment of
$500, 900, is now assured for Geor-
gia, according to a statement made
Saturday in Atlanta by officials of
the Woodrow Wilson Memorial col
lege, to be located at Valdosta, Ga.
Sponsors of the plan have been
working for three months getting
the cooperation of those who can
make successful the ideal institu-
ton first planned in the south Geor-
gia city, it was stated, and the plans
have advanced far enough so that
the details of the new institution
can be made public.
First of all, according to the au-
thorities of the new college, it was
sought to make the college an au-
thentic memorial to Mr.. Wilson, in
thorough keeping with his ideals.
To this end the plan originally adopt

Is it necessary to inoculate
them?
The Laredo soy bean belongs to
the family of legumes. Under favor
able conditions it can aSSimllate
part of the nitrogen it needs from the
air. AS a rule, we have not thought
it necessary to .nocul4ate this crop
with a special culture at the time
it is seeded, though it might prove
profitable in few instances.
We have found it desirable to fer
tilize the Laredo soy bean rather
literally with phospLoric acid and
potash. To this end, we recommend
an application Of from 200 to 800
pounds Of the former, with 100
pounds of kainit or manure salts. IL
is good practice to use finely ground,
raw, limestone rock in association
with this crop. At least one-half to'-
per acre should be applied. 1t would
be best to use a ton. Scatter this
material over the ground before yoL
seed the crop. Do not mix it with
the fertilizer materials SUCCESS

and expects a woman to do the


same.
Dear Miss DIX am thirty-fve
years old, and am in love with a
Widower Of fOrty-two. We were
sweethearts and loved each other
when we were young, but through a
misunderstanding we parted and he
married another woman. lie was
devoted TO his wife and made a
good husband, but she died and left
him with several children. Now he
wants to marry me, but my family
are bitterly opposed to my doing it
on account of the children and can
never say enough against this man,
although they liked him very much
until he wanted to marry me.
Now, my father is old, and when
he dies / will be left with nobody
but my irotller and his wife, and l
do not wish to live with them. l
love this man and | realize that my
chances for getting married are very
nearly over. What shall do? Defy
my family and have sweetheart
again and a good home of my own,
or shall L obey their commands and
live lonely life?
LONELY WOMAN.
Answer:
If your widower beau is a good,
honest man and you rae willing to
face the difficult role Of step-mother,
so along and marry him in spite of
your family. At your time of life
you have right to decide your own
rate, You are old enough to have
j ldgment and poise and to know
your own mind, and neither your
father nor your brother can judge
what is best for you.
They made their own lives. They
married to suit themselves. They
have their own homes, and it is easy
enough for the mot say that you
should be contented living in other
peop'e's houses, being" a hanger-on
in other peoples families and earn
ing your own way in business.
But. you know that does not CON
tent a woman. She wants somethin g
m ore She wants her own man, her
own place in the sun, and she must
have these to make her happy. And
you are quite right in thinking that
this is proba bly, your last chance at
uOIleStlC happiness.
But your family is right in one
thing, A woman who marries q
whoever with children undertakes
the greatest responsibility that any
one can assume, and she runs ter
rible risk of finding misery instead
of the happiness she looks for. AL
children are troublesome and try.
A 1t
ungrateful and unappreciative. AL
children require ceaselesS sacrifice
and ireXhaUstible patience from
those about them. Mother love en-
ables a woman to accept the situa
ton without faltering, but it is a
difficult thing for the woman to dc
who has no love for the children
yet who must put up with their
badness and their unreason, who
must listen to their noise and com
plants, who must sacrifice without
even a thank you.
Consider we'll whether you have
the strength to do this or not. Not
many step-mothers are happy. nor
are there many happy step-children.
But every now and then there is a
woman, big-hearted, broad-minded
who really mother another woman S
children and whose step-children rise
up ard bless her name.
