will-power to sit back and watch the
other girls having all the fun.
Don't lose faith in men, Maxa. If
being a lady is considered old-fash-
toned. you may be sure that all peo-
pie whose opinion s worth while
thinking about truly admires and re-
spects the girl who has courage enuf
to have ideals and live up to them
There are many men-sincere and in
telligent-w really value the COM
partnership of the girl who can enter
tain them with intelligent conversa-
ton rather than kisses. Let the other
girls trust to their kisses to bring
chem good times and happiness. Don't
insult your intelligence by lowering
your high standard in the effort to
please a man who demands such pay
ment in return for an evening of his
society
AS you say, Maxa, youth should
enjoy life, but a so-called good time
youth often means years and years
Of unhappiness. Youth is the time to
build up memories and they should
be happy ones without a touch of
regret for what might have BEEN
1t always pays to be good. The
good girl has the reward of clear
conscience, which always means
peace. Her outlook on life is bright
because it is never darkened for
an instant with remorse She is re-
warded with better health, better
looks and longer youth. And last
OF all, Maxa the good girl is reward
when she is able to go with clean
mind and heart to the man she loves.
She need not fear that her husband
will find out some secret of her form

girl who is leading gay life may
while, but she will pay her penalty in
later years in ill-health, scandal and
broken spirit. She is, in most cases,
a physical wreck in her twenties, and
an old haggard nervous woman at for
ty.
know, Maxa, it will be difficult for
you to find consolation in the
thoughts of benefits derived in later
years, when you want all the excite
ment and romance now that The aver
age young person demands, but am
quite sure you will agree with me
when say that all the pleasures in
the world or any man in the world
is not worth the sacrificing of self
respect, and the man who might be
worth it will not demand it.

EfectiUe Maybe, but
Price Ozone Tux En-"

Gen. Sterling Price of Missouri was
one of the best fighters in the Confed-
crate army, but he was scholar in
inverse radio Complex tactical move
ments in practice did not stagger him,
but tradition has it that the simplest
problem on paper was beyond his
power.
During the early days of the Civil
war he visited General Beauregard,
who was a graduate of West Point, an
expert mathematician, a civil engineer
and an authority on military tactics
and strategy.
At Corinth, Miss, Beauregard had
opportunity to put his theory into
practice, and had placed about the
city what he termed "a series of inn
pregnable fortifics TONS He took
General Price in his carriage to view
these Notifications. carefully explain
ing their merits Then he asked Price
what he thought of the system.
Price Strengthened himself up and
said thoughtfully: "Well, hain't never
seen one like 'er but onct before
"They were pretty effective, weren't
they?"

cultivate 81 per cent of all farms in
the state and 2.6 per cent of the total
acreage, the value being rs per cent
of the whole. The average value of
the land and buildings on farms oper-
ated by women was found to be in
excess of $3.50.
Commenting on the large percen-
tage of women who go in for dairy
ing and poultry raising, the Institute
sees a peculiar adaptation of these
occupations to the feminine nature
From early times it says, the average
farm woman has had to care for the
milk and act as dairymaid, too. And
milking COWS and selling butterfat
with its requirements of close atten-
ton to details seems to be a type of
work that woman naturally takes to.
The same appears to hold true foD
poultry raising. For pin money for
the thousand and one items needed
in the home, the sale of eggs and
poultry and cream has ever been
known as sure means. Many a wo-
man in need of more money has al
most instinctively turned to milking
cows and keeping hens.

GOOD FOR CERTIFIED sPUDs

If the Wisconsin seed potato pro-

there ought to be good crop of po-
tatoes in 1925. Weather conditions in
Wisconsin were favorable for this in

Hold Tortoise IN Esteem,

The tortoise, in the flowery empire
of Japan, is regarded as a symbol Of
youth and is venerated. Wedding gar
ments have tortoises painted on them,
as also have New Years gifts. A
legend heard in China states that the
tortoise is supposed to have borne
upon its shell the basis of moral teach
ings and the secrets of the unseen.
It is more revered in China than
among practical Japanese. When
fishermen around any Of the seaports
haul a large one in with their catch,
they find a Chinese merchant to buy
it. The Chiraman then caryes his
name on the SHE'LL that the animal
may know to whom it owes its life,
and taxing it out into deep water al
lows it to go free, thus insuring a
prosperous long life for himself

Recorded Their Fear
OF Premature Burial

Fears of premature burial have re-
suited in the formation of a society to
effect reforms in the law of death GER
LITIGATION, writes Arthur Pendenys in
John O. London's Weekly. There is,
however. nothing new in these fears.
The Egyptians kept the bodies of the
dead under careful supervision by the
priests previous to embalming and I'M
til satisfied that life was extinct The
Greeks were aware of the dangers of
premature burial and often cut off the
fingers of a person believed to be dead
before cremation
In modern times, the fear of being
buried alive has haunted many. Willzie
Collins had this fear. and always left
overnight on his dressing table note
solemnly enjoining that, should he be
found dead. his supposed death was to
be carefully tested by a doctor. Hans
Andersen always carried a note in his
pocket to the same effect Harriet Mar
tineau left her doctor $50 to see that
her head was amputated before burial.

Arnold's Wife Shared
in Husbands Disgrace

April 8, 1919, Gen. Benedict Arnold
and Margaret, better known as Peggy
Shipper, were married in Philadelphia
The marriage was the elimination of
a wartime romance The groom, then
a trusted subordinate Of General Wash
ingtOn, was later to become the most
excoriated man in American history.
Most every one has heard Of Arnold's
unspeakable treason, and even Of his
love affair with the charming Peggy.
It was certain that his wife was in
absolute ignorance of Arnold's sad adj
venture Indeed. as soon as the traitor
was sure Of his own safety he wrote

But she had not been there month

later she came home again, but was
treated with so much GOODNESS and neg

aged her marriage, that she left again,
never to return. She remained with
Arnold during the remainder of his
broken and disgraced life. He died in
London, an embittered and sad man,
without q country.

A natural gas tank with a greater
capacity than any tank that man has
ever made is in use at Springfield. N.
Y. In fact. it is said to have ca
pacity 20 times greater than any tank
at present in use. 1t is big hole in
the ground, with some peculiar forma-
tons which makes it very secure
holder. 1t was formerly the center Of
natural gas field, but the field was
exhausted, but this great holder is now
used as storage tank for the gas
from other wells. II is pumped in dur
ing the summer months and drawn
upon during the winter when the de-
mands for gas are greater. This hole
has a storage capacity of 400,000000
cubic feet.

Symbolic Indian Masks

According to the Bureau of Amer
lean Ethnology, tribes of Indians
throughout North America wore masks
at religious festivals and at some So
ciaI gatherings. Sometimes the priests
alone were masked, though in other
cases the entire company would APP
pear in masks. The false faces gen
orally represented supernatural be
ings. The simplest form of mask
was one prepared from the head of a
buffalo, deer, or some other animal.
The mask stood. not for the actual
animal. but for the type of animal
and its supernatural characteristics,
and the person wearing ii was for the
time being endowed with the distinc-
tive quality of the animal

To kiss-or not to kiSs-that seems
to be the most important question of
the day, as evidenced by the number
of letters received from girls living
n all parts of the country. One of
the girls writes: If girl permits a
man to kiss her he never comes
back. And if she doesn't-he never
comes back, so what are we going to
do?"
No the question is whose fault is
it if her statement is true? Does the
fault lie with the men for demanding
tor with the girls for permitting it,?
] am inclined to think men demand
it because the majority Of girls grant
it. and when they so out with one
who will not permit it-well, they
simply do not go back. Personally, |
do not believe that anything in the
world is worth sacrificing of self-re-
spect and the high ideals which Maxa
evidently holds But it is quite easy
to understand why some girls who
started out with the same high ideal
soon lost them. OF course. they want
to go out, and the weaker ones sacri-
flee their ideals for a good time, be-
cause they want all the other things
that constitute good time white
