NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

II Takes Three to Make \ Home
A WOMAN may be able to
"A make" an attractive HOUSE
out Of a few sticks of mahogany
and a few yards Of cretonne.
But it takes TWO to create =
HOMEi
A house may have beauty, taste
and elegance: but q home must
have personality, warmth, livabil.
ity and lovability.
The soul Of a home has to be
BREATHED into it. And some.
how it takes not only the fragrance
of a woman's presence and sachets
and scented soaps, but the aroma
of a good masculine cigar or a
seasoned old pipe to impart to
house the spirit of Home.
There must be inspiration be-
hind the creation Of a home-that
inspiration which comes of the
desire to create an abiding place
for somebody you love. And it is
not to be found in tagging feet
and lukewarm kisses, in nagging
tongues or delicatessen dinners.
''Craig's Wife" made home,
but she failed to give it LIFE,
after she had given it form. Drip
ping flowers, cigarette ashes, Soiled
sofa cushions and misplaced maya
zines got on her nerves, and she
turned her home into a boarding
school.
Many a. perfect housekeeper
keeps the place going like a
boiler factory all day, in order
that it may be as neat and cold
as a mausoleum all evening.
A woman may go mechanically
through the motions of making"
a home, as she does through
the motions of making living,
because it is her duty. But
unless there is a real incentive
beneath all her labor, 1t is not
success.
And that incentive is always
a MANI certain man due at
a certain hour! A man who
is eager and glad to be there.
A man who has not taken off
his cheerfulness, courtesy and
enthusiasm with his office coat,
and who does not put on his
crouch with his smoking coat.
A man to whom HOME is not just
a junction point, but is the end
Of the trail!'
You know what I mean. To
so many men Home is just what
Chicago is to the transcontinental
traveller place in which to
CHANGE, grab what nourish-.
ment he can, and dash OH some
where else!
And to so many women Home
Is just an anchor--to drag along
as they 20; chain and ball
which weighs them down and in
terferes with everything they
want to do.
The SPIRIT Of a Home can
preside over a breakfast nook
and tighten it up like a lamp;
and it's absence can make a
seven-course dinner as dull and
drab as a quick-lunch.
Oh. yes, it takes something in
tangible to make a Home!
Did / say it takes TWO, to
make a home? That's wrong!
1t takes THREE man and
q wonaan-and LOVE!

Of the many methods tried for
~ the control of Texas root rot,
a. destructive disease of cotton,
alfalfa, and numerous other crops
in Texas and some OF the irri-
gated valleys of the Southwest, is
allowing the land to lie idle with
clean culture for two seasons
promises to be the most prac-
ticable, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Investigations were started in
1907 and conducted at the depart.
ment field stations in Texas and
Arizona.
Cotton root rot is caused by a
fungus living in the soil. 1t was
considered that the disease might
survive on the roots of grasses
or other plants which 1t does mot
kill. This belief led to the clean
fallow tests. Two years Of clean
