Il am engaged to boy whom
love dearly. and vet / am a
very unhappy girl.
II always thought that court.
ship was the happiest, sweetest
time of a girls life, but for me
1t seems to hold nothing but
quarrels.
MY sweetheart is under the
impression that am selfish
enough to expect all of his time.
That is not so. Truthfully, there
is nothing that gives me more
pleasure than being with him.
but, you see, l have enough good
sense to understand that man
should have certain amount Of
freedom.
Il have asked him, in fairness
TO me, to name two or three defi-
mite evenings to be spent any
way to suit his fancy-meaning
without me-and the reply l al
ways get is, How do l know
what l will feel like doing tomor-
row-or any other night?"
I, consequently, never know just
what evenings l am going to
spend with him until the very last
minute, and very often am refused
when / ask him to see me second
or third night in succession.
What shall do to bring about
some more definite understanding?
] love him too much to give him
up, yet I'm so afraid marriage
might hold that same argument.
IS. r. M"
The question you bring up in
your letter, s. r. M, is vital. /
am glad you wrote me. because
frank discussion of perplexing
problems is sure to throw some
light on them, and this question
of dates mehaces many marriage.
We will assume that your fiance
loves you, otherwise he would not
have asked you to marry him.
You, also, love him-your letter
makes that clear. The question is
merely how to bring about har-
nnony.
You cannot make any man over
to your liking. That has never
yet been accomplished by any
woman. The only person who can
change your fiance Is himself, and
he is not likely to change in such
q characteristic temperamental
trait as his enjoyment of the COM
radeship OF his pals. Unless you
can accept him as he is. you will
have to reject him.
BY all means go out by your.
self, or with some relative or girl
friend, to neighbor's or a neigh
borhood movie. on nights he does
not come to see you. Do not give
him the impressio you are utterly
dependent on him. Nothing Tres
a man sooner. Be self-reliant.
believe If you concede to him
the privilege of coming to see you
only when he wishes and give him
q cheery, sincere welcome when
he does come. your quarrels will
cease. Surely you would not wish
him to spend time with you
against his will. After marriage
also, give him a certain amount
of leeway-but make time he
spends with you pass so delight.
fully and quickly, he will not
wish many evenings away from
you.

Conference i'm Stark
County Opens Oct. 80

Dickinson. N. D.. Oct. 28.-Several
hundred farm men and women of
Start. county arc expected to gather
at Dickinson, Oct 80 and 81. in an
economic conference called by Coun-
ty Agent Charles Eastgate in an ef-
fort to determine the best and most
profitable methods Of farm opera
ton in Stark county. The confer
ence is one of a series in the Slope,
which are remarkable for the inter-
est they have aroused and in the way
the farmers and their wives on COM
mittees have weighed and analysed
their own farming problems.
The conference begins with q gen.
eral meeting in the forenoon. In the
afternoon. the members divide into
committees assigned to the consider.
alton Of definite farm phases and to
the making Of recommendations re-
garding them. In the forenoon Of the
second day. the committees COM
plete their work. In the afternoon,
the committee chairInen report the
various findings and the conference
as a whole rejects, amends or adopts
them. When the conference work Il
completed. q sound, practical pattern
for operation successfully Of 4 farm

TURKEY CROP
REPORT INDICATES
INCREASE OF 6P.C.
Largest Cain Shown in East
er1 and Southeastern
States This Year

The October turkey report OF the
division of crop and livestock esti-
mates indicates a 8 per cent increase
in the 1929 turkey crop as compared
with 1928. The largest increases are
in the eastern and southeastern
states. where the crop for the two
preceding years had been small, but
virtually all states show some in
crease.
North Dakota. one of the leaders IN
turkey production. the home of an in
ternationally famous turkey show. has
a crop 6 per cent larger than that OF
1928. The young birds are somewhat
lighter at this time of the year than
last year. owing to a late start and
to shortage Of feed. According to re-
ports received by Ben U. Kienhalz. the
federal agricultural statistician. abou,
SO per cent of the crop in this state
will be ready for the Thanksgiving
market. 81 per cent for the Christmas
market. and the remainder for late
marketing.
In the western states. where turkey
raising Is becoming more Of a special
ICED industry than in other areas. in
creases were again general this year
but these increases were less marked
than those of last year. Increases in
this area go very largely into the conf
mercial turkey supply and in the
shape of carload shipments. Because
Of this fact. increases in this area arc
apt to have a relatively greater effect
on the turkey market situation than
arc increases in other areas.
On the whole, weather conditions II
1929 were fairly favorable for turkey
raising over most Of the country. The
adoption of better methods of ham
ding turkeys and the commercial
Matching and sale of young poults
seem to be extending quite generally
III most of the important turkey
states. A considerable part Of the in
creased production this year car
probably be ascribed 10 those develop
mentS.

|PUREBRED LIVESTOCK
Brings over $4,000
AT DICKINSON SALE
20 OF Best Shorthorns and
Iherefords Are Purchased by
Stark County Farmers
Tribune Special Service

Dickinson, N. D., Oct. 28.-Some
over $4,000 worth Of purebred. North
Dakota raised livestock, was sold at
auction here this week at the eighth
annual sale of Schnell brothers. VIII
Johnson. of the Livestock World"
known all over the nation as an u
thority on these matters, said it was
as successful a sale as he has ever
attended. He was in the ring Drac-
tically all during the sale. as he has
been in many in Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin and Minnesota.
The Shorthorn bulls Of Ray Schnell
of Dickinson. all young stock from
six to eighteen months. averaged
$3.50. the two highest being an 10
month old animal that sold for $375
and went to G. G. Grow Of Lambert.
Mont. and a six-months-old calf that
brought $685. from a Hazen N. q.
bidder.
The Hereford stock of Steve Schnell
Of Richardton was somewhat older
and sold higher in proportion. the
highest being for $3.50. a two-year-old
that went to Avance. South Dakota.
From the standpoint of those most
interested in Stark county's better
ment. the greatest success of the sale
was In the fact that 20 of these fine
ShorthornS and Herefords were
bought by local farmers and stay IN
the county. This is the first time in
the eight sales Of blooded stock by the
Schnell brothers. that any have been
sold to home bidders. This is taken
to indicate an awakening of great
benefit to the livestock industry here.

another car and turned him over to
the Morton county sheriff's office for
the night.
Janda. who was on the way to
Mandan. says he saw Schmidt APP
preaching from that direction. He
was OH the wrong side of the road

TO avoid being hit. but the Ford just

the Buick were a magnet. and the
cars were whirled about and on to
the sod at the side of the road.
Both drivers escaped injury in the
crash.

the practical home study courses
offered by the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college, according to T. w.
Thordarson, director Of correspond
cncc work. The best explanation Of
these courses is given BY the people
who have studied and completed

not take SIS .Oc0 for what they learned
in a single course. Others say they
never knew 4 person could learn SO
much by correspondence.
A letter just received from one
student is typical Of the hundreds of
testimonials received regarding these
farm courses. Olaf Peterson says:
Your correspondence courses
should appeal to all farmers III North
Dakota as well as to farmers in other
states. The cost is Sc low that those
who are hard UP can afford to study.
1t is a wonderful opportunity for
those desiring to learn 10 about
farming. but who cannot go away to
school to obtain it."
Following is a choice of subjects
offered: Poultry. Bookkeeping. fruits,
vegetables and trees. forage crops,
dairying. sheep and swine husbandry,
beef cattle, small grains. farm struc-
lures. farm management. advanced
