FRIENDLY STRANGERS.
The faults of others with freedom we
blame.
But tax not ourselves, though we prac
tice the same.
Believe me, there is more truth than
poetry in the old saw: “A new broom
sweeps clean.”
This is especial
ly applicable to
the hands om e
dapper young
man who sudden
ly appears in a
small town and
captures, without
effort, the hearts
of all the girls
whom the home
beaux had been
all their lives
striving to win.
The average girl
finds it difficult
to enthuse over
the young men
she has known
from boyhood up.
There is no romance in walking home
from church with a youth whom she
remembers seeing once upon a time
with a jam-besmeared face and knick
erbockers sadly in need of patching
at both knees, to say nothing of el
bows out of his jacket, and freckles.
People seldom forget a ludicrous pic
ture of that kind.
A girl who has known a boy from
the cradle up, know’s pretty well what
he is going to talk about before he
opens his lips. There are few, if any,
subjects he can introduce which she
is not quite as well informed about as
he is. If he attempts to talk seriously
to her there is no responsive chord in
her heart to touch. He finds —love-
making, up-hill business.
Let a handsome young stranger
come to town, and the interest of all
the marriageable maidens is aroused
at once. They ask of each other “who
is he,” and they cogitate over whether
he is married or single. If he is for
tunate enough to secure an Introduc
tion to one esteemed family in which
there are young girls, his social suc
cess is assured. Little affairs are giv
en for him that he may meet the most
desirable girls in the community. Ev
ery door is throwm open to him and the
young women vie with each other to
make his calls pleasant and them
selves pleasing. If he is a fairly good
conversationalist the girls vote him
“splendid company,” his flattery fall
ing upon willing ears.
He has no difficulty in cutting out
the diffident town beau. He can dance
like a professional, sing in away, that
makes feminine hearts flutter, put a
world of meaning in a lingering glance,
or clinging handclasp. He selects the
prettiest girl to make love to, but she
must have the wealthiest of family.
The poor but lovely young girl he
passes by. He has no taste for love
in a cottage.
When he has made such quick time
in his moving that his betrothal to the
wealthiest girl in town is announced
in a few weeks after he has met her,
the young man who has known and
loved her all his life, but had not thd
courage to propose marriage, begins
to sit up and take notice. He wonders
what the girls in the home town of
this paragon think of him and if he
is as popular with them. After a per
sonal Investigation, he discovers the
man bears too sporty a reputation in
his home town for the young women to
extend him an entree into their homes.
That a girl’s fair name would suffer
if she were seen talking with him,
or accompanying him to any place of
amusement, that he -will work only un
til he can accumulate a few dollars
with which to try his luck here and
there heiress hunting. It is a kindly
impulse which prompts receiving an
agreeable stranger into one’s home on
friendly terms. If he proves worthy
of every confidence, well and good.
When he asks for daughter’s heart
and hand, It will not do the least bit
of harm to do a little Investigating,
quietly. If he bears an excellent rep
utation in his home town it’s a big
feather in his cap. If he is all that he
purports to be, he will court investiga
tion, instead of showing resentment at
a doubt
GIRLS DRESS ON VACATION.
An exile, ill In heart and frame,
A wanderer, weary of the way;
A stranger, without love’s sweet claim
On any heart, go where 1 may.
It’s the girl who has never been
away from home before and is to have
a few weeks outing who is all at sea
as to what to take with her and how
she ought to dress.
The problems of the newly rich, in
this respect, are worth hearing about.
The poor tradesman who has just in
herited a windfall of wealth from an
uncle or someone else who had kept
out of his way during his lifetime Is
at first too bewildered to plan how
he Is to commence to get rid of it. His
wife rises to the occasion. They'll
not live over the store a day longer
than It will take to buy a new house,
furnish It, install In It servants and
move into It. The servants will be
placed in charge while the family hie
themselves to the most fashionable re
sort she can find.
Saleswomen are not always a help
to the newly-rich woman who brings
in her daughter “to be costumed to
appear in the best society." The re
sult is, the family arrives at its des
tination with three loaded trunks filled
with finery for daughter, one for moth
er and a suitcase for father. The girl
and her mother have read of white
silk sport clothes at Palm Beach and
suppose the same dressing holds good
for the girls at the mountain-top re
sort.
One glance as they enter the dining
room for breakfast and mother and
daughter look at each other with per
turbed faces. Scores of girls are there,
but there’s not one white silk frock to
be seen. Sport suits reign supreme,
gay striped white wool skirts, shirt
waists and sweaters bright as rainbow
hues, heavy boots for mountain climb
ing and tam-o’-shanter or wool sport
hats. The flesh pink silk sweater
daughter has in the very bottom of her
largest trunk is not the thing at all.
The luncheon dress of dove gray tulle
is quite as much out of place, for the
rest of the girls, just returned from
a ten-mile mountain tramp, scurry in
to the dining room, hungry as young
bears, just as they are, for there’s golf
on the program for the afternoon, with
little if any change in the morning’s
sport attire. The girl dressed up like
a doll, sitting on the porch, is looked
at in wonder. Everyone knows it is
her first outing, but girls are too ten
derhearted to make cruel comment.
Evening brings out butterfly raiment
on the girls—tulle and simple organdie
and ribbons. The stiff silk imported
costumes of the newly-rich girl suf
fer by comparison. Her parents cut
their vacation short. On the next
vacation they know what daughter
should wear.
ARE FLIRTATIONS DANGEROUS?
So you think you love me, do you?
Well, it may be so;
But there’s many away of loving
I have learnt to know.
Having seen what looked most real
Crumble into dust,
Now I ehose that test and trial
Shall precede my trust.
Are flirtations dangerous? That de
pends less on how it begins than on
how it ends—whether the affections
have been stirred, or—only friendship’s
waves have been rippling from a merry
breeze.
There are some women, happy of
heart, fun loving and sensible, who
could be brought into contact with
the most pronounced, fascinating
“lady killers” without experiencing an
extravagant heart throb. There are
others who were never intended, pre
sumably, to have a beau who had no
matrimonial intention, . because they
were sure to fall headlong in love al
though the man in the case stopped
carefully at the crossroads of a mild
flirtation.
Such young women are really more
to be pitied than censured, for the
reason that their feminine intuition
nas led them far afield, as it were,
leaving them unable to decide as to
just what value to place on his whis
pered words or the lingering clasp of
his hand.
All women will tell you they go on
their summer vacations for the sole
purpose of gaining the benefit derived
from a change of scene and air.
While this is true, it is also quite
true that the majority of winsome
maidens are not averse to finding at
the place they have chosen for recrea
tion an agreeable, unattached young
man who will also help them pass the
vacation days pleasantly. If he pays
a bevy or more of girls the same
amount of attention, favoring one not
more than the others, he is simply a
very agreeable new acquaintance. If
he singles one girl out, talking, walk
ing, golfing, yachting, dancing with
her almost exclusively, the busy
bodies will be burning with curiosity
to discover whether it is a real heart
affair or only a flirtation.
Unwise is the girl who attaches more
importance to his attentions than his
conversation warrants. Pleasant com
panionship is one thing, tender senti
ment quite another. The girl who is
only Intent upon a very slight flirta
tion should not lead a young man on or
allow him to believe that his suit
would meet with acceptance should
he propose marriage. Men have hearts
quite as susceptible to the tender pas
sion as those that beat in women’s
bosoms. Where one or the other has
“no future intentions” he or she
should not monopolize entirely the so
ciety of the other.
Flirtation is a dangerous game.
Frankly acknowledged friendship—
simply that but nothing more—is al
ways wisest and best in the long run.
It is by no means a compliment for a
man or woman to become recognized
as an acknowledged flirt. Many enter
into a flirtation with a laugh on their
lips which ends in a sigh or a tear.

PUREBRED STALLION “HONORABLE."
(By S. T. SIMPSON, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
“Use purebred sires,” is the slogan
by workers at the Missouri college of
agriculture as a partial reply to stock
mens’ questions as to hew they can
make profits on increasingly expensive
land, labor and stock and efficiency of
the methods used must be correspond
ingly improved if the live stock indus
try is to survive.
The slogan of the purebred sire is
being sounded by Dean F. B. Mumford
and others of the agricultural experi
ment station and college in the field
and feed lot, from the Chautauqua
platform and oh farm to farm trips
through various counties.
For use in these campaigns a “red
headed” poster bulletin has been print
ed. That head says in red type, “Use
Purebred Sires,” and beneath this head
are brief statements of the careful
tests of the experiment station and
the common experience of Missouri
farmers which agree absolutely on this
point. The station got much bigger
profits by using a fair purebred mut
ton ram such as any farm sheep-raiser
could afford instead of a scrub ram.
They were used on ’ western ewes
which were equally good so far as the
best judges could tell. From such a
ewe the fairly good purebred mutton
ram got a good lamb which weighed
60 pounds and sold for $7.35 when
three months old, but the scrub ram
got from a similar ewe a poor lamb
which weighed 56 pounds and sold for
$4.50 when four months old. Fletcher
Smart of Harrisonville, Mo., used a
good purebred boar on some average
sows and got 60 good pigs which

FOUR OF “HONORABLE’S” FILLY FOALS.
COVERED TOP MILK
PAIL RECOMMENDED
Many Farmers Have Never
Thought of Real Advantages
of That Kind.
(By C. A. BURNS, Dairy Department,
Oklahoma A. and M. College, Still
water.)
Those who are not accustomed to
using a covered top milk pail have
probably never stopped to think of
what real advantage such a pail may
be in the production of clean milk.
By a covered top pail Is meant a milk
pall so constructed that it has only a
small opening In the top, the rest of
the top being covered with metal of
which the pail is made.
The object of such a pall is that of
preventing dirt and hair from falling
into the milk. As the old saying goes,
“An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.” This is surely one
place where the saying holds true.
Dirt and hair mean bacteria in the
milk, and bacteria cannot be strained
or filtered out. Bacteria are always
more or less injurious to the quality
of the milk and to all milk products.
This means a lower price for the milk,
and eventually a lower price for the
milk products. But this is not all.
Dirty, bacteria-laden milk products
oftentimes are quite injurious to
health, and especially the health of
children.
Os course a great deal depends upon
the milker as to whether or not the
milk is clean or dirty, but under aver
age conditions, other factors being
similar, a covered milk pail with an
opening six inches in diameter stands
only one chance In four of catching a
hair or other foreign material that a
pail 12 Inches In diameter would. In
other words, a pail with a six-Inch
diameter will catch only about one
fourth as much dirt and hair asja pall
With a 12-inch diameter.
I reached an average weight of 270
pounds and topped the Kansas City
; market at eight months.
Purebred Sire Means:
1. Uniformity.
2. Individual superiority.
. 3. Early maturity.
4. More marketable stock.
5. More money for your feed.
6. Credit to the owner.
7. Bigger profits.
Scrub Sire Means:
1. Lack of uniformity.
, 2. Mongrels and misfits.
3. Late maturity.
4. Poor market demand.
5. Less money for your feed.
G. Discredit to the owner.
7. Loss and dissatisfaction.
These are some of the facts indicat
-1 ed by the poster which explains why
a survey of the live stock producers
shows that those who are producing
the good stock are the ones who stay
■ in business when so many others are
dropping out.
From the breeding standpoint the
important steps are (1) the use of
tried purebred sires, (2) proper feed
। ing of breeding animals, (3) careful
’ culling of barren and poor-breeding
females, and (4) replacing culls with
the best females in each season’s pro
duce.
Since it costs little or no more
profits to produce an eight-cent steer
than it does to produce a five-cent
steer, the profits to be derived from
producing live stock on corn belt farms
is limited by the quality of the ani
; mals. Good sires must be secured and
the herd must be carefully culled.
Last but not least, the marketing
problem must be carefully handled.
Co-operation with neighbors is often
1 essential if purchases and sales are
to be made to the best advantage.
JUDICIOUS SYSTEM
OF INTERCROPPING
Cultivated Orchard More Profit
able Than Neglected One-
Fillers Are Favored.
A cultivated orchard is more produc
tive and consequently more profitable
j than the average orchard which is neg
lected or in which grass or hay is
grown.
“In the young orchard a judicious
system of intercropping may be prac
ticed without causing Injury to the
trees and at the same time profitable
crops will be produced in the waste
space between the rows," says F. S.
Merrill of the Kansas State Agricul
tural college. “Sufficient space should
be left on each side of the tree to per
mit thorough cultivation of the tree
rows. As a general rule, the roots of
the tree extend beyond the outer ends
of the limbs. A strip may be left pro
portionate in width to the spread of
the branches.
“One of the most familiar types of
intercropping can be found in planting
fillers between the permanent trees,
and often between the rows. The peach
cr some type of early maturing apple
can be used for this purpose, 'but in
most cases the grower will not remove
the fillers until they have attained such
size as to have interfered with the
permanent trees.”

SAYS HYPNOTISM IS EASY
Prof. Munsterberg Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete Subjugation.
Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, the Har
vard psychologist, says he can-hypno
tize anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Teelgram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how’ easy it is to hypnotize
anybody, almost as easy as “rolling
off a log.” The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
in mind control. He said:
“Hypnotism presents a vast field for
the expert. It is so easy to produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do it on others, but it is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig
norantly used, tl is simply a case of
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only a slight hypnosis
Is necessary to effect a cure for nerv
ous disorders.
“Medicine, equally with law, is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are ob
solete and the w’hole science of diag
nosis has been carried into the field
of experiment. Psycho-analysis has a
great future.”

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
More of the Advancement of the
World May Be Traced to Those
Pugnaciously Inclined.
Most of us love trouble —that is,
most of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out of trouble for
any lengtji of time, it seems. And if
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately “butted
into” something that was not your af
fair. ~
Take the matter of politics, if you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, a lot of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected; Indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by so doing he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight.
Os course all of us like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or a group
of people. But the truth is most of
us are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak
ers, and not from the peacemakers?—■

sternly, “it can’t be good for your rheu

“Doctor’s orders, sah,” the old man

“Doctor’s orders’” said the preach

“No, sah, not exactly, sah,” said
Uncle Cal; “but he done ordered me
