MEDITATTONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

VKTHEN q woman tells q man
w that he is ''the most wonder
ful man in the world" there is
seldom dissenting voice in the
audience.
Before marriage a mans idea
of "companionship" Is to sit
glued to a girls side-and say
nothing; after marriage, it is to
sit glued to his chair and his
newspaper-and say nothing.
wouldn't it be a comforting
thing IL a woman's lips. like
the summer piazza. had to be
freshly painted only every other
season?
A fluctuating love is a far
harder thing for a woman to
endure from any man than q
permanent indifference.
Every romance adds something
to a woman's charm and char
acter - and subtracts a little
something from her faith, illusions
and vanity.
Some girls are going so bare
this summer that even the beach
flies are turning away from them
with a bored, "fed-up" look.
"A wonan's beauty, like her
pink lingerie, need never fade in
these days; it can always be- re-
tinted.
The old-fashioned girl always
wanted to marry because she was
more afraid of going to work
and facing the world than she
was of men and the hazards of
matrimony. The modern girl can
brayely face the prospect of earn
ing her own living, but she often
lacks the courage to stake her
life's happiness on love and one
man. And she calls this bravery. !"
Who steals thy husband, steals
trash because that's the only
kind of husband that CAN be
stolen.

FARMS IN !. S.
STILL GROW
SURPLUS
BY B. C. FORBES

How many of us really under
stand why so much attention is
being given proposed farm relief
measures at Washington? Is 1t
just a politically-inspired drama?
Or is economic tragedy respon-
sible? What, in short, are the
basic facts of Americas agri-
culture?
City folks are accused by coun-
try folks of being as grossly ignor-
ant of agricultural manners as
they are cocksure OF their infalll'
BILE judgment thereon. Instead,
therefore, of attempting to draw
the real picture, the writer very
gladly presents the following clear
cut statements kindly furnished
this column by F. r. Nichols,
managing editor of the Capper
Farm Press, Topeka:
The index level of farm prices
on April Is was 1913 per cent
of the prewar level, against 155
per cent for the commodities
farmer must purchase. The price
ratio received by farmers to the
prices paid has been averaging
only IS to 80 per cent.
Price Disadvantage
This price disadvantage is due
largely to a few crops, such as
wheat and cotton, constituting the
much discussed Surplus" crops
which have to be sold on world.
price levels.
But most of the items purchased
by our 6,5O0.000 farm families
are produced behind the tariff
wall, and are thus on the "Ameri-
can price level"
The McNary-Haugen bill, vetoed
twice by President Coolidge, and
the new debenture plan were
designed to make the tariff eff
fective for agriculture Their ad-
vocates allege they would cure
the economic ills of agriculture
by raising prices. Opponents say
they would result in increased pro-
duction, lead to more trouble and
enable consumers in foreign coun.
tries to buy the cheap food
dumped abroad"
Meanwhile our farm population
has been declining rapidly. Only
7,511 900 persons were left on
LHS LdI1IlS JdHudLy ~ 4JS0s SVui-
pared with 81, SOC, 900 in the towns
and cities. During 1928, 1850, 900
persons moved from the country
but 1862, 900 moved from the cities
and towns to the farms. How
ever, births on farms exceeded
deaths by 100000, leaving a net
loss for the year of 1888 900.
The net loss in farm population
since 1920 has been 3,500,000 or
more, and since the 1910 peak
about 100000.
Urban Population
For every person living on farms
there are now "a persons in towns
and cities buying feed, compared
with "a nine years ago.
But the increase In production
by farm workers has maintained
the surplus problem; land formerly
used in growing food for horses
has been released by the increase
in power farming; and there has
been a decline in per capita con-
sumption of bread and meat.

animation. This usually was taken
during the three worst winter
months, when crime flourished
less and %patrolling was limited to
a small territory. This training
consisted of lectures, first aid
work, veterinary instruction and a
complete resume of the criminal
and civil laws of the country. 1t
was a postgraduate curse. After
a corporal finished this three
months of schooling, he was quail
flied to direct the operations of
the entire force. His training was
that thorough.
The first two corporal stripes
a Mountie obtained were the most
coveted of all decorations the SER
vice offered. That was true be-
cause the recipient had to work so
hard for them and because their
possession meant the wearer had
been tried and found to be up to
scratch in every detail. His sal

the munificent sum of 81 a day.
The next step upward was the
rank Of sergeant. This promotion
usually resulted from the hand
ling Of some difficult case in
which the Mountie showed mark
ed capabilities. The duties of a
sergeant placed him in charge Of
a seven or eight-detachment sub
district, where he visited each
post once a month and reported
conditions. The ~sergeant's reports
were dispatched to district head
quarters each week. They went
into such details as to show how
many settlers were moving into
the country and the amount of
money they had with them.
There was only one staff-ser-
geant to a division. These officers
were invariably men who had
put in from twelve to fifteen years
Ul StTftCS.
The sergeant-major reported d.
rectly to the officer commanding
the post, and was responsible for
everything. He was on duty from
$50 a. m. until IL p. M, the most
of that time on his feet. He had
Immediately under him an orderly
usually a Lance Jack, or more
specifically a half-corporal, and
as the sergeant-major's
runner. The runner had little op-
portunity of proving the designa-
ton a misnomer. If anything went
wrong, the sergeant-major yelled
for his lance jack, and the latter,
in order to prove that he was on
the job usually placed someone
under arrest.

some nonsensical errand, with the
resultant unmerciful straffing for
awakening an officer who had put
in a wearisome day. The recruit
returned to his bed in tears, but
with a redoubled determination to
make good. Many an hour of
physical and mental torment has
been spent by an embryonic troop
er while in the process of becom-
ing an officer. but each instance
of his chagrin played its part in
bringing out the manly qualities
in his makeup.
The thing that troubled the no.

Another ordeal for the recruit
was that of purchasing bath tick

tic orders he was sent to the post
barber shop for a dollars worth
of coupons. The barber took his
money and accompanied him back
to the barracks, there to careful
ly and solemnly point out to the
puzzled youngster the barrels of
water, the caldron for heating 1t

the fire. About the time he vas
