"You owe 1t to YOURSELF

with which the first woman
managed to make the first man

covered the power OF the appeal
to a mans Ego!
Astonishing that a woman's
whole happiness in life should
hang upon such little thing
as a pronoun. But just the
slight grammatical alteration,
and note the electric effect upon
ANY man-sweetheart. husband.
boss or landlord!
When a tactful woman wants
a trip to Paris, does she say:
.'You owe 1t to nre to take me
abroad this wintre?"
She does not. She COOS ten.
DERBY, "You owe it to YOURSELF,
dear. to get away from the
grind for a while. You're all
tagged out!''
When she wants her husband
to buy a new hat or climb into
his evening clothes or get his
hair cut, does she complain. "You

to put up a good front and look

Does she say. "You owe 1t to
me to turn in at sane and
human hour!'
Oh. no. She protests sweet1y,
You owe 1t to YOURSELF to
get more rest: you are putting
too much strain on your constitu-
ton. You'll have hardening of
the arteries and be old before

Does she say. "You owe 1t to
me to save your money and look
out for the future"'
Not on your life. She says.
You owe 1t to yourself to look
out for YOUR future. You don't
want to slave like this, forever"
Or, does she say, You owe 1t
to me to loosen up and provide
me with a decent home and

Not so. She says. "You owe 1t
to yourself to live up to your
position. and let everybody see
that you are neither pauper

pronoun-but the effect Is magi.

"You-oWe-i t-to-me" nagging, will

he owes HIMSELF something.

When Selfishness Goes the Limit


You don ask your wife about purchases you want to
make for yourself, but you always complain when she
makes purchases for herself.
One of arguments is that cannot afford to buy
what she has had charged you and you say that you
have to figure closely keep expenditures within
certain each month
Your argument may be all right but the other hand,
perhaps after she has learned that have purchased
certain articles which expensive than what she has
selected she becomes angry.
Now you may may not be justified in your expend

dear, In all probability he didn't
do any more damage to y1ur
ideals or affections than you did
to his. He certainly had lively
hopes that you would make him
happy or he wouldn't have mar
ried you. And you must have
disappointed him just as he dis
appointed you. So he has gone
out Of your life.
Wasn't he my husband?"
Yes, he was your husband but
he wasn't your slave, You didn
own the smallest particle of his
body. mind or soul. He belonged
to himself just as much after
marriage as he did before. Your
marriage wasn't a bill of sale.
1t was the record of an attempted
partnership by two separate, free
individuals. 1t was more than
material partnership. 1t inn

strong spiritual obligations. BUT

This is the condition Of mar.
rage as 1t is understood by our
courts. Certain religious bodies
hold that there is a deeper bond
between hubsand and wife. but
our courts do not subscribe to
this belief. If they did they
could not grant divorces or
sanction remarriage. BY the
granting of divorce the Amer.
lean court openly says:
"A husband does not belong
to a wife or wife to a husband.
If they wish to part they have a
right to do so, provided they can
prove that they have legal
ground, Having parted they be-
come separate individuals, with
all the rights and liberties OF
separate individuals"
That's what the American court
says when 1t grants a divorce.
But 1t doesn't say that when 1t
awards separate maintenance or
alimony to an able bodied. child.
less woman. 1t then takes quite
another attitude and proclaims
He's yours, sister. Stick him
up and we'll back you"
That's what the institution OF
alimony implies. Do you think
1t Is credit to a civilized
people?

Starting a Rotation system.

Every farmer knows that he should
rotate crops. We all know that it is
a sort of agricultural crime to run
along haphazard and sow and plant
where it is most convenient. We
throw away half our work when we
put in the same crop year arter year,
even on the richest land. And a sue
cession of crops that embraces no
Iegumes and is simply for convenience
is only little better.
Why do we, so many Of us, go on in
the old bad way when we know it to
be foolish and Improbable? Because
to change over the system Of cropping
So as to get into good rotation takes
scheming and the adjustment Of ends
to means, and often some sacrifices.
Il is hard to rearrange the cars in a
train while the train 10 running; and
to change in cropping from lack of
system to system, OF. from poor sys-
tenn to a good one. Ia almost as hard.
nd yet, we should all make the
change who have not already done so.
Every one OF us who has hitherto neg
lected 1t should work out system
of rotations and make start on it
In the spring. There is no possible
way of starting any younger.
And in this connection no man
should rest in the belief that his rota-
ton is the best. He may find a bet
tel one by study. And, finally there
is not matter in which the advice Of
experts and successful farmers is
mare valuable than in this. Take adj
vice and make start.--Farm and

Swedes Breed Rare Foxes

Much interest is felt in the breed
ing Of rare foxes. Recently 20 pairs of
silver and blue foxes arrived in Stock
holm to be transferred to the Norrland,
The main expense in fox farms IS
fencing. The fence must extend at
least nine feet under the surface of
the earth to prevent the foxes from
digging themselves free. Obviously
some of the myriad islands around
Scandinavia would be good sites for
fox farms. There no fencing would be
required. While there is a good mar
ket for good skins, the stock is ex-
pensive and when too many foxes are
kept together they deteriorate rap
idly. Silver foxes are very difficult
to handle. The blue fox, on the other
hand, is easy to breed, but its pelt is
Of much less value.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1926-03-11

A Berlin inventor has recently de-
signed simple device for the telling
Of trees. The trunks are cut by the
friction of a steel wire about one nil
limeter in diameter, which. a. dem
onstrated by practical tests, IL able
to cut through tree about twenty
inches (fifty centamentersl in thick
ness in six minutes. The wire, which
is carried to and FRO by an electric
motor, is heated by friction on the.
tree to such an extent as to burn
through the timber, the result being
cut which h both smoother and
cleaner than that effected by saw. The
vine will work satisfactorily on the
thickest trees without insertion Of
wedges into the cut, and the trees may
be cut Immediately above or below
the ground. In the latter case the
stump may be left safely In the soil.
The motor which actuates the wire is
placed outside of the range effected
by tie fan Of the tree, and when cleo
tricity IS not already available It can
l.c generated by a transportable pow
er plant consisting OF a 10-horsepower
petrol motor and dynamo, which are
left at the entrance to the forest dur
ing the telling operations.
