Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Husbands and Wives Have Many
Obligations to Each Other

Dear Dorothy Dix: Perhaps the
main missing link in the mar
riage bond is an understanding of
what Is a fair and equal division
of the duties which both the hus-
band and the wife must assume in
order to make the tie that binds
a silken fetter instead of ball and
chain. I often think that if before
marriage a young couple would
make a list of what each expected
of the other it would do more than
any other one thing to promote
domestic felicity. Just a mere rec
ognirion of the obligations that went
with job to keep them from pass
ing the buck to each other would
prevent disagreements and frictions.
Could you suggest list of the duties
that husbands and wives owe to
each other? F. Nc. c.
AnSwer-Why, the list would be
as endless as life itself, for the duties
that husbands and wives owe to
each other never end as long as
they are alive, and they vary with
every change of circumstance.
To begin with, husbands and wives
owe it to each other to be faithful
and patient, kind and forgiving, and
to treat each other with at least
as much consideration as they would
show to strangers. Each has a right
to expect the other to be a pleasant
companion with whom to live.
Among the specific obligations of a
husband are: To be loyal to his
wife. No man has a right to marry
until he has had his fling of philan-
dering and is ready to settle down
to be the faithful husband of one
wife.
Man should go domestic after
marriage. No woman's idea of an
ideal marriage is sitting alone of
an evening while her husband wan
ders around among the bright spots.
He should be family man, one
vino loves children and who re-
CARDS every new baby as a bundle
from heaven, instead of another
expense account. No woman can
make happy home if the man at
the head of it begrudges the upkeep
of it and growls over the bills.
He must be a good sport. He
must take marriage on the chin.
He must recognize that marriage
requires sacrifices and self-control;
that it brings burdens; that wives
are full of faults and children noisy

Light Mullins

Quick mixing of dry and liquid in
gradients is the secret of obtaining
light mullins. Stir only until all the
-four Is moistened. The batter may
look lumpy, but 1t is ready for the
pans.

Columbus Farmers Pleased By Good

When planting time came the
farmers were able to get all the
fertilizer they needed, and the 9th.
er necessities to operate their
plantations. The merchants real.
lied that their business still de.
pended upon the planters in a
great instance.
Strawberries pulled many Of the
farmers of Columbus county out Of
debt and there were some who
forged ahead even of what they
expected to get out of their Der.
ries and tobacco.
And with tobacco looking fine
in nearly all the pack-houses Of
the county, the attitude of all con

BROAD FORESTRY
PROGRAM ADOPTED
Plans Call For Protection And
Maintenance Of North
Cardinals Forests

RALEIGH, Aug. ia progress
sive 12-point program for the pro-
lection and maintenance of tn e
states forests has been adopted
by the North Carolina Forestry as
ISOLATION, R. w. Graeber, extern
sion forester of N. c. State college,
said today.
The program calls for a broad
ening of public interest in forests
by teaching conservation in the
public schools and the acquisition
and development of a system OF
state forests.
Likewise, the association is
working toward the reforestation
of all idle lands not suited or need
ed for agriculture. The increased
demand for planting stock would
be supplied by charging the facil
tiles of the State Forest Nursery
Community forests are included
among the IL points. These woulc
be developed by counties, cities
and towns for their economic value
in providing employment for idle
local labor, protecting watersheds,
and establishing recreational cen
tiers.
The cooperation of lumbermer
and the pulp and paper industry is
being asked in developing a system
of timber harvest that will provide
for a sustained timber yield anc
make for better land use on a per.
manent basis.
Also, the fullest cooperation o.
forest owners, sportsmen, and for
est and game management officials
would be asked in working out 6
program of wildlife protection anc
management on a basis of mutua.
benefit.
One of the IL points calls for an
enlarged program of farm fores
try" education as an aid to farm
ers in developing their woodlands
as an economic unit of their farm
ing enterprise. Another asks fol
more adequate facilities for teach
ing forestry at State college anc
Duke university.

trade, and the farmers are rushed
to capacity getting their weed
ready for the sales floors.
A wonderful spirit of coopera-
ton has grown up among farmers
and business men in these farm
ing sections. The business men
hold up the farmers h a n d S
through the dull months, and the
farmers return the favors when
the sales rush is on.
Last year, however, the business
men were left with quite a load
that the farmers (many of them
were not able to take r of; re-
CARELESS of how sincere it was in
their minds to do SO. And it is
thought by many at that time that
there would be lots of business

such was not the case
