CONFESSIONS
OF A WIFE
DICKI DICK! I LONG FOR YOU.
With the glamour of the lovellght In
Dick's eyes the night he look dinner
with me, I forgot for it moment that I
was a log, and before I went to sleep
I wrote him a letter a letter which
only you will see, little book, for I did
not send It.
Here It Is:
“Tonight, my husband my Ivver,
when you kissed m< 1 felt ringing In
my ears the noise of the stars sing
ing as they marched down the pathway
of the universe I heard the whisper
ing voice of worlds glad to be together.
"M\ blood beat out your name, 'Dirk!
Dirk 1’ And now. Just before 1 took the
pen and pai»or that are always beside
me, my arms reached out blindly in the
dark and my pulse cried, ‘Come. I can
not be without you.' ”
“When you were with me tonight,
man who has always filled my heart,
I forgot for a moment that I wns any
thing in all this world but your wife.
Again the pure white flame burned
clear. for our hearts were so near wlier,
you look me In your arms that my heart
heard and stirred from its long leth
argy for a moment and beat in clanging
unison with yours. My heart too was
afraid when yours trembled and your
Ups voiced, "IN> not ask .tie to come
again."
"‘Pick!’ for me tonight that little
word means that if tin- whole world
were crashing Into oblivion 1 would
hear the music of quick and broken
words that tell nothing and everything.
“1 have forgotten all the years that
have rolled between I have forgotten
the days In which 1 only thought of
you with smoldering hate and the
nights when I was glad the dark shut
out your face
“I only know that your arms about
me crushed all the great blue vault of
heaven Into my heart.
“Alas' I also forgot that 1 was only
a log and I am sure my eyes spoke to
you of knowledge that was beyond
speech
“It was the mountain top, the golden
radiance of the sun. the etherta! blue

of the summer sky. the combined fra
grance of all the flowers, the sound of
the music of the spheres.
"Again 'the light that wns never on
land or sea' flooded my eyes. Dick—
Dick, husband, lover!"
Ami then I remembered, oh Clod! I
remembered 1 was juts a log unable to
make Dick happy In any way. unable
to see that Ills home was made fit for
him .unable to go with him among his
friends, unable—-but why enumerate!
l.lttle book, there Is my lonely room,
furnished with everythin* that money
could buy to make me comfortable. I
felt the terrible agony of that ancient
prophet who wanted to curse Clod und
die.
1 stuffed the pillow into my mouth
to keep from screaming. 1 dug my nails i
Into my flesh and shut my teeth so
tightly that this morning 1 can still
fed the pain. My eyes burned with a
searing heat that the tears I could not
shed might have cooled.
I called mvstfrlcally for my little
nurse, and begged for something which
would make nte frnget.
She tried to soothe me, hut she could
not know, little book, that l wns holding
vigil over a love that l must murder
and looking Into the horrible face of
despair.
Please, please. Clod, let me die!

When Columbus Visited Costa Rica, His Men Raid
ed Birds the Indians Loved, and the Birds Never
Forgot, Says Babson
By Roger Babson.
Famous Economist and Writer.
Costa Rica. —Are you fond of birds?
If so, you would enjoy Costa Rica.
Scientists say there are 500 different
kinds in Costa Rica.
There are black, white, blue and red
birds, and birds of every other color.
You hear parrots talking and canaries
singing all the time.
There are beautiful tiny humming
birds which dart back and forth like
bullets, and rent eagles fly fro.u
lone mountatntop to another
Butterflies are also numerous. They
are beautiful and are sold by natives
to great Parisian dressmakers as sug
gestions for designs and colors.
Perhaps you have seen "butterfly
i jewelry". The buterflles mounted
iherein probably came from South or
Central America.
A pretty little story is told about
these birds of Costa Rica. It is said
the Indians would allow no one to
harm them under any circumstances.
As a result, the birds were very tame.
So when Columbus and his men
landed upon the shorts of Costa Rica
the blt-ds came down to give them a
cheerful welcome. Hut the Spaniards
with stones and arrows killed many
birds The rest flew away and told
the other birds throughout the Island
what wicked things had been done to
them.
Of course the little birds could not
tell a Spaniard from an Indian, and so
they soon began to fly away whenever
they saw any man.
It made the Indians feel badly to
have the birds afraid of them. The In
dians therefore felt very bitter to
ward the Spaniards for their 111-treat
ment of the birds. Hence the Indians
determined to drive Columbus and his
men away from Costa Rica. This was
the beginning of the fight between the
Spanish and the natives. Finally the
Spanish won.
TEXAS FARMERS MAKE SUCCESS
OF CO-OPERATIVE DAIRY EXPERIMENT
BETTER CITIZENSHIP AN IMPORTANT BY-PRODUCT
OF THE ORGANIZATION
(By Frederick M. Kerby.)
Washington, D. C.— Cows, co-operation
and community spirit—result increased
happiness and general welfare! That is
the story that comes to Uncle Sam’s
reclamation service from the Rio Grande
reclamation project.
H. B. Link, secretary of immigration
of the Elephant Butte Water Users’ As
sociation, reports to the reclamation
service that the people of his com
munity started a co-operative dairying
experiment with the result that at the
present time members of the association
are shipping about 1,000 gallons of whole
milk daily into El Paso at 20 cents a gal
lon; are finding a market for sweet
cream at $1.25 to $1.50 a gallon, with the
promise of a big increase with warmer
weather. A thousand gallons of milk at
20 cents a gallon means S2OO in cash
every day, $6,000 every month, and $73,-
000 a year. This produtcion will prob
ably be doubled next fall.
Something like 50 farmers have gone
into the dairy business and have Joined
the association.
•’lnevitably,” says Link in his report,
“they are becoming better farmers, for
they are compelled to plan the proper
rotation of crops in the growing of their
own feed.
"They are getting to be better citi
zens, too. It has been the writer’s
privilege to attend a number of meet
ings, first and last, and he has watched
with pleasure the development and
broadening of the visions and sympathies
of these men—has watched them weld
themselves into a cohesive body.”
The co-operative association wan
brought about through the efforts of P.
B Barber, county agriculturist for Dona
Ana-co, N. M. The farmers of the
Mesilla valley, under his inspiration de
cided to go into the dairy business As
a starter they bought 31 carloads of
dairy cows, valued at about $75,000.
Within a few weeks after the cows ar
rived from Wisconsin and lowa, these
farmers found themselves producing
from 300 to 400 gallons of milk per
days.
But they were inexperienced in hand
ling the business. So a co-operative dairy
association was founded for mutual help.
This has now expanded into the “Rio
Grande Co-operative Dairy Association.”
Meeting after meeting was held, retail
dairymen from El Paso w-re interested,
and finally a deal was closed by which
the output of milk was to he marketed
in El Paso by the local dairymen. Now
the city health officer of El Paso has
reported that the milk shipped in by
these farmers Is of a higher grade than
that sold by most of the retail dairies
of the city.
The association grew, and began to get
members from a distance, until from Do
da Ana to the Texas line on both sides
This experience with the birds —if
the story is true —must have been a
lesson to the people of Costa Rica dur
ing these succeeding centuries, In
many ways. For today Costa Rica is
one of the healthiest countries in the
tropics.
The rich people of San Jose recog
nize that their children's lives can be
safe only as the Uvea of all the chil
dren in the city are proteoted. Hence
the streets of San Jose are kept dean
and even the poorest people are taught
how to keep well.
A Minnesota farmer, who claims to
have invented a machine that will ab
solutely eradicate quack grass, will, if
his contention proves true, have solved
one of the most harrassing weed prob
lems of the present day farm.
SHERLOCK HOLMES, JR., SAYS:
Listen girls, the Rubber Bathing Caps I
saw at Howard’s today are perfect dreams
just go and look them over. I’ll be there en
joying one of their delicious Ice Cream Sodas.
You’ll recognize me by my smile. Meet me at
Howard’s every morning and every afternoon.

of the river—a distance of about 50
miles was dotted with members of the
"co-operative.”
“Down on the west side,” says Link,
“they have a community motor truck
that gathers the milk cans every morn
ing and carries them into El Paso. Each
section of the valley has its own sub
sidiary organization that deals with
purely local problems.
"A number of men bought their cows
too late to grow the grain ration neces
sary, and these have ‘thrown in' to
gether and have bought several cars
of good grain at low prices.
“More and more the individual farmer
is coming to realize the value of team
work with his fellows —the practical
utility of co-operative effort.”
A large Philadelphia gas company
has arranged free physical examina
tions for all its employes in an effort
to have all ailments discovered at the
time when treatment is most

UGH! A BOSE OF
NASTY CALOMEL
It salivates! It makes you sick
and you may lose a
day’s work.
You’re bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile .dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50 cent bottle of Dod
son's Liver Tone and take a spoonful
tonight. If It doesn’t start your liver
and straighten you right up better than
calomel and without griping or making
you sick I want you to go back to the
store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau
seated. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take
a spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dod
son's Liver Tone tonight and wake up
feeling great. It’s perfectly harmless,
so give it to your children any time.
It can't salivate, so let them eat any
thing afterwards.
