OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS
@»d's Blessed Word
lb tbinfing of th® many blessings
*Mp have been mine during this year
tWat is almost gone, I thought of
that aong,
“Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one,”
and when I had called over health,
loving relatives, friends and all sorts
of blessings I remembered that one
of the very first is God’s own word.
Then there came to me the appeal
of the American Bible society for
funds to help carry on the great
work that has placed Bibles in homes
in every land that the sun shines on.
That in turn reminded me of that
little Welsh girl, the littl© maiden
that caused the Bible society to be
organized at the risk of “taking coals
to Newcastle.” I am going to tell
you about her:
One hundred and twenty years
ago a little Welsh girl, Mary Jones,
walked barefoot over the hills to the
home of the nearest preacher and
timidly asked him to please give her
a, Bible. She wanted one of her
own, and was so overcome with dis
appointment when she was told that
there was none to give her, that she
could not keep the tears from run
ning down her cheeks. This touch
ed the tender heart of the man of
God and he went and got one that
he had for a friend. Mary went home
rejoicing and the preacher could not
keep the incident out of his mind.
He did not do as many of us would
have done, let the matter drop with
merely thinking of it. He went to
London, gathered some friends to
gether and told them about the little
girl. Right there a committee was
formed to collect money and to have
Bibles for all of Wales, and the
British Isles.
Then a broad-minded member
said: “If for Wales, why not for the
world?” And from that day to this
there have been good people spend-
FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Late Planting of Cotton is
Inadvisable
D. O. P., Pavo., Ga., writes:
What do you think of planting
cotton about June 1 here? I
think the boll weevils that have
come though the winter have
died about this time, and then
we would have June. July, Aug
ust and even September to make
our cotton. Would not all the
hold-over weevils be dead before
our cotton comes up?
The late planting of cotton as a
means of combating and overcoming
weevil damage has been extensively
tested in all the territory to the west
of us. In no instance has this meth
od of planting cotton succeeded.
While a good manj' boll weevils go
into hibernation, only a few of them
pass through the winter successful
ly. They-are all out of hibernation
in your section of the state probably
by July 1. They may even all be
<ut in certain seasons by June 15.
When weevils come out of hiberna
tion, they immediately locate the
.young cotton plants, and. you find
them living in the bud very shortly
after the cotton has come up. These
weevils should be picked and. de
stroyed. They may, of course, also
be poisoned. Each pair of weevils
that is allowed to escape will prob
ably have anywhere from 5,000.000
to 12,000,000 descendants when Sep
tember arrives. It must be ’very
plain to you, therefore, that the
only chance of growing cotton un
der weevil conditions is to plant it
early, work it rapidly, and develop
as much of the crop as posible in
a short space of time. Where this
can be done, from one-half bale and
upward of cotton per acre can be
produced under conditions of good
management and proper fertiliza
tion. There will be years when it
will be much more difficult to ac
complish this end on account of ex
cessive rainfall.
Early in the season, one may use
homemade syrup mixtures for the
poisoning of the "weevil. When the
plants are larger, dusting must be
undertaken. The intelligent and
skillful use of calcium arsenate as
a dust spray should enable you to

i ing time and money to help all the
i world have Bibles. I am sorry to
state that there are probably some
in this part of the land who do not
possess a Bible, but it is their own
fault. Few are so poor that we
could not pay at least twenty-five
cents for a portion of the Holy
Scriptures.
I wonder how many of you moth
ers are teaching your children the
best that is in literature, verses
from the Bible and poetry that has
the Bible as a foundation?
What a little child memorizes
stays with It e’en down to old age.
One of my standards is this poem
that my mother taught me before 1
was nine years old, and I wish that
some of you ■would do the same for
your child:
"Holy Bible Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine;
Mine to tell me whence I came;
Mine to teach me what I am.
“Mine to chide me "when I rove;
Mine to show a Savior's love;
Mine thou art to guide and guard,
Mine to punish or reward.
“Mine to tell of joys to come,
And the rebel sinner’s doom;
O, thou Holy Book divine.
Precious treasure, thou art mine.”
What would this world be If we
did not have the Bible? Few of us
study it as we should, and we need
not wait till New Year’s to resolve
to give it our loving and prayerful
attention. Show me a community
that is not moral, that is not a help
to the world by the sort of young
people that it is sending out, and I
will prove to you that th,e fathers
and mothers are not Bible reading
folks. You cannot gather figs from

l standard of living unless you have

minimize weevil damage sufficiently
to mature a fair crop of cotton.
There was an excessive- amount of
rainfall in north Georgia this sum
mer, but wp have made an average
of about 13S pounds of lint cotton
per acre in this section. But for
the use of calcium arsenate and the
vther aids to which I have directed
attention, our cotton cop in this
section would have been very little
better than that produced in south
Georgia.
Fertilizing Fall-Sown Cereal
Crops
W. M. N., Toccoa, Ga., writes:
What is the best fertilizer for
wheat, oats and watermelons:
also what is the best feed for
dairy cows?
A good fertilizer to put under
oats and wheat at this season of the
year’ is a mixture of acid phosphate
and kainit. From 200 to 300 pounds
of the former mixed with 100 pounds
of the latter will prove satisfactory.
JWe seldom use any nitrogen under
our cereal crops in the fall of the
year. In the spring, however, we top
dress them with 50 to 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda. In your section
of the state, this material should be
broadcasted over the crop about the
first of March. Put ft on when the
leaves are dry so that the soda will
not burn them. Nitrate of soda, as
you doubtless understand, does not
need to be covered into the soil. The
acid .phosphate and kainit to which
reference been made should be
worked into the land either before
or at the time the grain is sown.
Watermelons require a high-grade
fertilizer. We should think a formu
la containing 3 to 4 per cent nitro
gen, 9 to 10 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 3 to 4 per cent potash
should be used with this crop. We
would apply it at the rate of 500
pounds per acre. It should be
broadcasted over the land and work
ed into the ground before the melons
are planted. A side-application of 200
pounds of this mixture will often
prove helpful. About the middle of
.the season, the use of some nitrate
of soda will often stimulate growth.
A very great variety of foods may
be used for dairy cows. Grass or
substitutes therefor provide the best
roughage. If you do not happen to
have a silo, the best mixture of
roughage to use will be made up of
cornstalks, sorghum and native
hays. These materials may be run
through a cutting box and then
moistened with water containing
some salt. Let the mass soften for
a few hours before It is fed. A grain
ration may, of course, be fed. It
may consist of one-third to one-half
corn, and the balance may be made
UP of cottonseed meal, peanut meal,
or bran and shorts. A mixture of
concentrates generally gives the
best results. Feed the grain mixture
at the rate of about one pound for
each pound of milk produced.

AUNT JULIA’S COUNCIL
A Friendly Meeting Place for All Tri-Weekly Journal Readers
Dear Aunt Julia: After reading all the In
teresting and jolly letters I just couldn't
resist the temptation to write. As I am
no gifted writer, I'll make my visit brief.
No thanks; I’ll ait right here by Jam?s
about my home state, which is Maine. You
already know hat the northern part of the
state is the home of the lumber jacks. But
really, cousins, you haven't seen beautiful
scenery unless you have seen the dense,
dark woods of Maine. You boys don’t know
what furs look like if you haven't been to
Maine. In winter the sportsmen flock to
Bald mountain to seek the silver fox, to
hunt the downy bear and to shoot the deer,
so fleet of foot. The mountains, hills, val
leys and brooks are so beautiful that it
takes a gifted writer to describe them. But
really, as I’ve said my say, and said too
much for a new cousin. 111 close. Please,
mint .Tulia, print this, as it i« my first at
tempt. MABEL WHITESIDE.
Citra, Fla.
Knock! knock! knock! Oh, It Is only
two Georgia girls coming for a chat. Now,
Aunt Julia, we hope you will let us in, for
there is nothing we enjoy any better than
the cousins' letters. Thanks! We have
been readers of the Letter Box some time,
but just couldn’t get up courage to write.
I, Willie, am "sweet sixteen.” My birth
day is October 22. Have 1 a twin? If so,
let me hear from you. I, Ruby, am four
teen years of age. My birthday is March
4. Have I a twin? If I have, please write.
Most all the cousins use a subject for writ
ing, but we will not this time. It we were,
it would be on “Truthfulness.” for there is
nothing any better than telling the truth.
•If you always tell the truth your friends
will have confidence in you. We live on a
farm, and think farm life just grand. We
would not exchange with city girls at all.
We live eight miles from Glennville, Ga.
Guess some of you cousins have heard of this
place, if not all. If any of you cousins
happen to find yourselves here, drive out
and give us a call.
Dear Aunt Julia, we wish ever so much
you could come and be with us during cane
grinding. We know you would get fat, for
we have lots to grind.' All you cousins have
an invitation, too. We both are fond of
reading and want to ask a favor of you
cousins. If any of you have the books.
"Her Husband's Other Wife” and “Tried
for Her Life,” please send them and we
will return the favor in any way we can.
Oh! we are breaking Aunt Julia’s rules,
but. auntie, we think you will excuse us
this time, won’t you? Cousins, don't you
all think Aunt Julia is a dear? If any of
the cousins care to write to two jolly
.Georgia girls, let your letters come, and
we assure you an answer.

Hello, merry band! Here I come again
knocking for admittance after I have been
A. W. 0. L. so long. Hope that you will
give me a little room this cold morning. I
live in the western part of the state of
good old North Carolina, with her numer
ous mountains on either side and beautiful
scenery in every direction. Say, cousins,
how many of you served in the World war?
I served with the Sixth, division. Fifty
fourth infantry. I have a comrade, Mr.
Holton, somewhere in Georgia, I suppose. I
would appreciate very much any informa
tion of his whereabouts. You North Caro
lina cousins come on and let’s stay in front.
Minnie Aldridge, you have my birthday. 1

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
let a Georgia lad into your happy band of
lioys and girls? I have just read the merry
letters in the Letter Box and thought I
would write. I came once before, but was
not admitted, but hope I will be this time.
What do you cousins do for pastime?, I
go fishing and hunting. Say, Georgia boys
and girls, come on, get some pep in you or
the other states will get ahead of. us. I
guess you ail are wondering how I look, but
I will leave that for you to guess. My age
is between one and one hundred, so if you
wish to know more just write to a new
cousin, ALFRED KELLY.
Carters, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I guess you
all will be surprised to hear from an old
cousin, and I've neglected writing until
I’m almost ashamed to write, but it’s better
late than never, isn’t it? I want to thank
Aunt Julia for printing my other letter,
and also thank the many cousins who
wrote. What are you cousins doing for pas
time. As for myself, I'm hunting and read
ing, but I like reading the best. Some
cousin please send me the following books
and I will return the favor in any way I
can: “Wanderer of the Wasteland,” “The
Light of the Western Stars” and “To the
Last Man,” all by Zane Grey. I will re
turn them as soon as I have read them. I
am nineteen years old. All you cousins
write and I will assure you all an answer.
An old cousin, TERRIE JAMES.
Harris, Ga.
Dear Cousins and Auntie: Will you please
move over and give me a seat by Aunt Ju
lia? 1 am a lonely north Georgia girl. My
home is about five miles from LaFayette.
and I go to school at Bethel. I see most o'
the cousins take a subject. If 1 was to, it
would be kindness, for I think kindness is
a great thing. Speak kind to the old, for
they may not have long to stay on earth
Speak kind to tlie little child, and it will
.never be forgotten. And kind to everything,
for a kind word will never be forgotten
Kindness is richer and better than gold. If
you smile at the world it will smile back
at you, and if you frown at the world it
will frown back at you. Every one had
much rather receive a smile than a frown,
so let's try to make the world’ better by
beginning to give a smile to everybody. I
will not describe myself, but my age is be
tween fifteen and eighteen. To the one
guessing it I will write a letter. Every one
write me.
(MISS) GLADYS DOVER.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
sit just a little farther and give me a little
room by you all? And we will chat a while,
as I haven't seen a letter from Pansy. Well,
I guess all of you cousins are going to
school. I am going and in the fifth grade.
My age is fourteen. I just wonder how
many of you have my birthday. March 10.
How many of you cousins like to go to
school and Sunday school? And how many
of you cousins like music? How many of
you say your prayers every night? I do.
for one. I hope all of you do. What kind
of birds do you cousins like? I like a
mocking bird the best, and my choice of
flowers is the primrose, and I like to read
good books, too. My choice is the Bible. J
like to read the book of Romans. .Some of
you cousins write mo, because I would like
to correspond with the cousins.

Dear Cousins: I am a lonesome sailor boy
and I was told about Aunt Julia's Letter
Box. I like to get letters and like to have
lots of friends to write to. I have been in
the service for a year, and I like it pretty
well. I get lonesome, though, and some
times when I don’t hear from my few
friends the time drags rather slowly; hut
when I am looking forward to a nice letter
from a friend I am always happy. My
home is in Oklahoma. I have two brothers
and one sister. I have a nice time in the
nacy and like to travel. I always like to
go ashore in strange places, for one can see
so many things of interest. I enjoyed my
first trip to Panama very much and have
many pictures to remind me of the trip. A

and you can just imagine what grand times
we have when we are together, although we
live eight miles apart. I. John, am a

the only grandfather- living. He is nearly
seventy years old. He takes Tlie Journal,
and we all enjoy reading it so much. Now,
Aunt Julia, please print this, as it is our
first attempt in life to write to the Letter

Dear Folks: I have always been inter

letters very much, for some of the girls
and boys write very interesting letters. 1
wrote-to the cousins and auntie when 1 was
a little girl of thirteen, and that has been
twelve years ago. I am sure some of you
did not know the circle was tliat old, did
yon? May I, before I go, give you a brief
description of the part of the country in
which I live? Really, I am a Georgian by
birth (the home of the crackers) and was
reared on the farm, where I spent most of
my childhood days. After obtaining my
education. I took up the course of nursing
in Columbia. 9. C., where I graduated ami
nursed for a y»sr. Soon afterwards I met
a very "dear friend,” so, consequently,
“Cupid’’ stole my heart and I moved to
Oklahoma, which I (have learned to love.
There are lots of lead mines near where I
live, and that is the principal industry.
While there are some very good farm lands,
large herds of cattle graze on the fertile
prairie, covered with blue grass and clover,
and small rivers and creeks that, are sur
rounded by weeping willows. It is lovely
there to spend the long, hot summer eve
nings in bathing. I went in bathing quite
often last summer, and soon learned to
swim. My time is spent (including mv
housework) in car riding, swimming, read
ing and going to the movies occasionally.
While, since the days have begun to be
cool, I pass lots of time on the prairie with
my husband, hunting. There are lots of
rabbits and quail, ami as 1 have a rifle and
bunting suit I go often. He says I'm a good
marksman for I seldom miss a shot. The
best time to hunt is when the snow is on
the ground; the rabbits can easily be track
ed to their hiding places. I live in a small
town of about 1,000 inhabitants, near the
city of Miami.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: I have just fin
ished getting my lessons for tomorrow, so
that I could drop in for a chat before re
tiring. 15 ell, yes. I'm a girl from the Old
North State. I wrote to the Letter Box
last winter, but was not admitted. I’m
going, to criticize tlie other letters just a
little. Cousins, please don’t say I am be
tween thirteen and seventeen years. Mv!
but it sounds foolish to me. I don't mind
telling my age to anybody I have ever seen
or heard of. I was fifteen years old August
12. I especially want some cousin who lives
ill Waycross, G?., to write to me. All of
the other cousins have a standing invitation
to write also. Now, all who can please
send a picture. I'll not promise to answer
all, because I'd never get my lessons if I
did, but I'll do my level best.
I live on a farm. I go poneyback riding
real often. I wish some of you cousins could
come to see me. I'm sure you would have
a delightful time. Oh, I mean to say I’d
try to give you a good time. I don't know
whether you all like my way of entertain
ing or not. I like to ride my pony, take
tramps in the woods, go fishing, and even
opossum hunting. Please, cousins from
coast to coast, write me; send your picture
and anything you will in picture form.
(MISS) MARY HARRISON.
Williamston, N. C.. R. F. D. 3, Box 11.
Dear Aunt Julia: Have you room for an
other girl in your friendly circle? I read
The Journal, and like it' very much, and
especially tlie Letter Box. I think it is so
nice that the cousins can get acquainted in
this way. Aunt Julia, please tell Mr. Ed
itor to print Florida “Snappy Paragraphs”
oftener. I like to read them, as I was
born in Florida. I am interested in making
butterfly trays, and, cousins, I want to ask
a favor of you. 1 want to get some pods
that grow on the butterfly plant. I use
the silky part inside, when dry, to pad the
tray, and as a background for the butter
flies. But I am unable to get any around
here. It is a member of the milkweed
family and grows in old fields and the pods
should be ripe or matured now. The pod
re-embles the okra pod, only the outside sur
face is smooth. It is commonly known as
cottonweed, lietnp plant, milkweed, silk
weed, butterfly plant and probably other
names. The cousins who will gather me
some of these pods and mail me I will re
turn tlie postage and the favor in some way.
I would like to hear from all the cousins.
Aunt Julia. I am sending 10 cents for the
orphan. Devotedly,
CORA MANSELL.

Hello. Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am won
dering if you will open the door and let me
have a seat by Aunt Julia, Just a little girl
why sure, auntie will let me in for a few
minutes. I’ll try not to break the rute as
tliis is my first time, please print this as I

started tlie 17th of September. I go to
school' nt Junior High. We have a nice
school, we are going to have a fair at Junior
High the 18th and tilth of October. Every

Hello, everybody! Please open the door,
Aunt Julia, and let me in. Good morning,
all you cousins! I think I heard some one
say, “She comes too often,” and I guess I
do, but I just can't help it. I came in the
merry month of May and my letter was

not get in. so pardon me for coming so soon,

a chat with you erfusins would be just fine.
DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
The Husband Who Was Too Kind.
Shall She Choose the High-Tem
pered Younger Man or Marry
the Placid Elder Suitor?—The
Man Whose Wife Won’t Let
Him Smoke at Home
DEAR MISS DIX— Is there such
a thing as showing a wife too
much kindness? lam a pros
perous business man and have been
married for several years. I loved
my wife dearly and have showered
everything on
her. I gave her
/ ■ a beautiful home,
Z ’ " a car of her own,
I ♦ jewels every-
1 ~ thing that was in
Spj mv power to be-
jO} stow upon her,
She never show-
Iwik ccl me any re ’
s ai ‘d or consider
.r-\ tition. It was all

tion on her part.
z I She has now
T' • H left m e all

• » proceedings, and
begs me not to contest the ca.se. 1
know there is no other man in the
case. She just thinks she tvants
freedom, and she is sacrificing me,
as she has sacrificed everybody and
everything, to her own desires all of
her life. What do you think I should
do under the circumstances?
LEONARD.
Answer: I do not think that a
woman who is so selfish and self-cen
tered will ever make any man happy,
and that the sooner he puts her out
of his life the better. That type of
woman never loves any one but her
self, and the pity of it is that, by
some freak of nature, she seems
able to inspire a deeper love in men
than any good woman ever gets.
I certainly do think that it is pos
sible to be too good to a woman, just
as it is possible to be too good to a
husband. It is just as easy to spoil
a husband or wife as it is to spoil a
baby, and they react the same way
to it. They get peevish, and fretful,
and howl for the moon, and need '
just as badly to be taken over some
body’s knee, and spanked, and made
to behave themselves.
A great many domestic tragedies
would be avoided if, instead of try
ing to save their wives from all hard
ships, men would make their wives
carry their fair share of the domes
tic burden. A great many silly and
frivolous wives could be steadied if
their husbands would put responsi ,
bilities upon them.
Men think they are being kind to
their wives when they work them
selves to death so that their wives
may be idle. This is a great mistake
It is work tbatjteeps women out of :
mischief, that keeps them from get
ting neurotic, that keeps them
healthy and sane —also, that keeps
them in love with their husbands. ,
Because no woman ever cares long
for a man who lets her run over him .
and put things over on him.
Furthermore, a man should re
quire some sacrifice at his wife'.’’
hands, because we love the best peo
ple that we help; and this is particu
larly true of women. It is .not the '
man who gives most to women tha.
they love most. It Is the men who
demand most of them. You don’t
hear of many divorces in the 'circles
in which the wife has to take iu
washing to support a good-for-notb
ing husband.
And there are several morals in
that.
DOROTHY DIX.
♦ * ♦
Dear Dorothy Dix—Can you tell
me which is the safest gamble, to
marry a man of my own age who
is jealous, grouchy, conceited and
exceptionally quick-tempered, or to
choose for my life partner a man
fifteen years older than I am—l am
twenty-three who is humorous,
kind, gentle, loving and thoughtful,
and who pays me all the little at
tentions dear to a woman’s h'cart?
I admit that the first man in
fatuates me, but I am in constant
fear of displeasing him or of his
leaving me for some other woman,
as it is raining. I knew we would have a
good time together. I enjoy all your letters i
just fine. Yes, I am a lover of flowers,
books and music. What is home without
music? What would our life be without
good books to read? It is a pleasure to
read. I.et's read the Bible first of all. I
knit, read and crochet for pastime. I live 1
among beautiful hills. We are almost sur
rounded by them. The trees are all dressed
in red and gold. Winter will soon be here
and the days grow cold. Cousins, if you nil
would come we would hare a good time this
winter sitting b.v a good fire, eating wal- 1
nuts. We have good fires up here where I
live, for there is plenty of good wood. Aunt
Julia, this verse is for you:
You find the world a joyous place,
Because you make it so.
You've helped to set. the merry pacs
For all our feet to go.
The song and laughter that you hear
Are echoes of your own.
'Tis thus, through the many a-comlng year,
You’ll reap the joy you've sown.
Dear auntie, please print this for me, as I
want to get heaps of letters from all the
cousins. I will answer all I can. so I am
looking for a great load at once. Now, dear
cousins mine, if I am not among tlie dying
I’ll be with you when the roses bloom again,
so everybody write. I am looking to get a
mail box full at once, so don't disappoint
me. cousins. Lovingly, your niece and I
cousin, .

Dear Aunt Julia: Would you be so kind as I
to admit a rather lonesome boy into your |
corner? I must tell you I’m a soldier in j
Uncle Sam's army over here in beautiful i
Hawaii. Since I left the old home state i
I’ve felt so blue. There seems to be a lot
of soldiers that way as well. I was born
in Butte, Mont., and I’ve roamed quite a
lot in my young days. I’ve been to Alaska,
Yukon, Northwest Territories, England.
France and Panama, and I've never stopped
to think of writing to some nice girl,
although I've seen some. There's all kinds
of them over here, but they don't interest
me a bit. Maybe yon could find some nice
girl who would write to me. 1 wish you
would, as I surely would be pleased io
answer whoever cared to write. There are •
lots of things one can indulge in over here. •
such as swimming, mountain climbing and ’
all kinds of sports that are favorable to our j
health. I'm just longing to he in Georgia !
once more. That surely is going, to be my !
home state w;lien I get discharged from the I
army. I like tlie army life fine over here.
It’s the kind of life every young man should
have for three years. It doesn’t sound very
nice to hear the bugle blow reveille at 5
every morning, but still it’s better to get
out in the fresh air than to lie in bed. 1

Is fifteen years too great a dif

I will forget my first love when I
am married to the second?
NEW YORKER.
Answer:
It is tragical that temperamental
people, stormy, tempestuous ones,
have a fatal lure ‘ about, them; but
to marry one of them is to bring
down certain misery -in one’s head.
It is electing to live in a perpetual
storm center in which there is no
peace or rest. If you marry a mafi
who is jealous and grouehjs you
will spend the balance of your days
walking on eggs, which gets to be a
mighty tiresome promenade for a
wife.
You will always go In fear and
trembling, dreading to rouse the
devil that crouches within him. You
will live in terror of his maniacal
outbursts of temper. You will al
ways be hiding things and keeping
things under cover that might vex
him.
There Isnt’ any gamble, as you
say, about marrying a high-temper
ed, jealous, grouchy man. Such a
man’s wife always loses out.. Her
lot is never-ending unhappiness.
On the other hand, if you marry
the older man who is gentle, and
kind, and considerate, you will have
everything that a rational -woman
needs to make her happy, for the
fifteen years of difference in your
ages does not matter when it is on
the man’s side. But here the com
plication comes in. So contradictory
is the human heart that if you mar
ry your high-tempered, grouchy man
you will hate him within six
months, but if you don’t marry him
he will always remain a figure of
romance in your imagination that
will make your quiet lover seem
commonplace. So the question sim
mers itself down to this: If you
want a peaceful, quiet life, marry
the elder, man. If you want an
hour’s happiness and the balance
misery, take the younger one.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss Dix: I am a married
man with the dearest wife in the
world, but, as in so many hom?s,
there is a little friction. I like to
smoke, but my wife objects so much
that I never smoke at home, much
less in the house. If I should at
tempt to light a cigar, there would
be a regular sto’ n.
And the more she objects • the
more I want to smoke. You know
how it is about the forbidden fruit.
I don’t smoke to excess, and I can’t
understand why mv wife can’t un
derstand that when she doesn’t let
me take my ease in mv own home,
and drives me out. of it for my pleas
ure, that she is driving me away
from her. Can you? HANK.
Answer:
No, I can’t, Hank. I have never
been able to understand why God
denied so many otherwise intelligent
women all knowledge of how to deal
with husbands. Wives want to keep
their husbands at home, and yet I
have known plenty of women who
wouldn't give their husbands a sin
gle spot in the house that he could
call his own and in which he could
do as he pleased.
I have known women who wouldn’t
let their husbands indulge In any
hobby at home, women who consid
ered their husbands’ treasured col
lections as messes, wives who
wouldn’t let their husbands eat what
they wanted at home, who wouldn’t
let their husbands smoke -in the
house. And yet these women won
der why they had wandering hus
bands.
Concretely, if I were a man and
wanted to smoke at home, I'd do it.
The man who pays the freight has
got some rights that even a wife
should respect.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
The Great Shadow
Fear casts a shadow far and wide.
And from it there’s no place to hide.
—Old Mother Nature.
Crisp and clear and beautiful
were the October days. Painted in
gay colors were the leaves. Food was
plentiful, and Mother Nature was do
ing her best to spread joy and con
tentment everywhere. But there
was no joy for the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Mead
ow. A shadow lay over them, al
though jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun
shone day after day. It was the
most dreadful of all shadows, the
shadow of great fear. Only when
the Black Shadows from the Purple
Hills brought darkness did that
shadow of fear lift. It returned
day with the coming of light. The
dreadful hunting season was on.
Now as you know, no hunters
were allowed on Farmer Brown’s
land. The little people who lived
there knew this. But still the shad
ow of fear lay over them. It was not
just fear for themselves, but fear for
their friends who did not live tn
Farmer Brown’s land. And there
was some fear for themselves, for
they had learned that there were
nunters who did not heed signs if
■ik
Blacky the Crow in passng to and I
fro flew higher than he was in the '
habit of doing.
they thought there was a chance
that they would not be caught.
In all directions the bang, bang of
ifirrible guns could be heard from
daylight to dark. With ever bang
the little people in feathers and fur
would shiver, and their hearts
would be filled with dread and saa-
Wless. Each time they wondered
which of their friends they would
see no more. Day after day stories

for Cough Syrup §
■I I ■ ■ - @
easily- and cheaply made at home, W
but it beats them all for ©
quick results. ®
Thousands of housewives have
found that they can save two-thirds
of the money usually spent for cough
preparations, by using this well
known old recipe for making cough
syrup. It is simple and cheap but it
has no equal for prompt results. It
takes right hold bf a cough and gives
immediate relief, usually stopping an
ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
Get 2y s ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle,
and add plain granulated sugar syrup
to make a full pint. If you prefer,
use clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either
way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly,
and lasts a family a long time.
It’s truly astonishing how quickly
it acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs—
loosens and raises the phlegm,
soothes and heals the membranes, and
gradually but surely the annoying
throat tickle and dreaded cough dis
appear entirely. Nothing better for
bronchitis, spasmodic croup, hoarse
ness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly con
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract known the world over
for its healing effect on membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking
your druggist for “2% ounces of
Pinex” with full directions and don’t
accept anything else. Guaranteed to

I
of dreadful things were brought to
the little people of the Green Mead
ow and in the Green Forest. They
were stories that were whispered,
for they were too dreadful to tell
aloud. They were not the stories of
those who had been killed that
seemed so dreadful. They were the
stories of those who had been wound
ed, but had escaped the hunters only
to suffer helplessly.
So the beautiful October days were
filled with dread. The little people
in feathers and fur became so filled
with fear that the rustling of a fall
in gleaf would make their hearts
jump. They ate because they must
eat to live. But they took no joy in
their food. They ate hurriedly,
snatching a bite and then looking
and listening for the approach of a
hunter with a terrible gun. Between
meals they sought hiding places.
Even those who were supposed to be
; protected by the laws passed by man,
shared in this dreadful fear, for they
. had learned that there were hunters
who would shoot at any living thing. •
Not even Striped Chipmunk was safe
from these hunters.
Peter Rabbit kept close to the dear
Old Briar Patch. Only at night did
• he leave it. Always by the break of
day he was back there. Reddy Fox
and Old Man Coyote never came out
of hiding until the Black Shadows
had appeared. Longbill the Wood
cock kept to the deepest thickets he
could find. Blacky the Crow in pass
ing to and fro flew higher than he
was in the habit of doing. Sammy
Jay was strangely silent. And so
the shadow of fear lay ovsr all the
beautiful landscape.
