In Ohio community thera lived
a fair young maiden, Mary. f4hs
' wai not only fair In tar, and
figure but wa alao tho poseeeeor of
an InlmJUbla, girlish personality. All
tha boyf In town liked Mary, and her
na'urai ferninln charm brought many

when Mary and Henry want out (buggy

A yer passed. Then rumor bagan.
"Did you hear Mary and John ara

And a llttlo later. "What do you
think? Henry la now going with
Anna." . ,
Trua enough, tha great transfor

and Henry had exchanged glrla. Al
though tha gosslpert spent houra to
gather trying to fathom tho reason,
no di flnlta concluajon could ha reached.
Later on It waa aald that Mary had
turned from llsnry. Though no rea
on tor thin could ba ascertained, tha
. Iruth of tho statement waji Indicated
by Henry'a actions and attltuda from
that time on. The four no longer want
together.
, A few rrtontha later Henry left for
an eastern city. Ik-fore going he

only giving tha ring to spite Mary and
that hla love waa atill for her. Hut
they knew one thing about Henry and
that waa that when ha waa determined

Within tha next few tnonthe Mary
and John were married. Once more
the eustomury remarks were panned.
"I cannot aee how she ever quit
Henry and married that fellow. I'll

Another six montha pojiaed and

After ' thirty-two year of married
life, John became ill and died. The

and with their aid Mary could get
along fairly well. New from the eaat

the old home town. He wa given a
royal reception by hla many boyhood
friends. He hurried to the home of hla
old weetheart Mary. She waa now ltv

cessful bualnea men in the town. To
Henry he eemed tlll the possessor of
that same girlish charm which bad o

Embarrassing
Moments
Celling the Once Over.
My new young man took me to call
on hla sister, who waa married. I
wanted to make a good Imprenalon, ao

my best behavior.
Two brothera dropped In, and I over
heard them aay they " wanted to give
Fred'a girl the once over."
A 4 year old niece administered the
flnlahlng touch when aha asked In a
voice that could be heard In the
kitchen, "When you and Uncle Fred
get married, may I be your flower

The brother grinned, brother-in-law
In the kitchen howled, while I turned

The youngster thought abe'd waited

do not believe I need go over again
with you the oopy book story of how
muscles atrophy when allowed to re

know that a well as I. You know
how they squeak and groan at the
intermittent attack of muscle energy
you put them to, proving thereby their
gradual deterioration.
And you know, too, that a muse!
ahould be In hap at all time and
every day to answer the call to work
without creak and groan.

Add these to what you haw been

I have farmed more than fifty years,
and I can truthfully say that form
problems are many there are many
uncertainties. The no price problem
cut th deepest and la th greatest
tumbling block the producer hav
to contend with J1 over the country.
And every year there comes a lull
when thers is no market price on
grain, because the farmer must wait
till tha bunch in Chicago or some
other place figure out a aafs price on
the farmer produce.
On th other hand, th manufacturer
and all other Industrie mark th price
on their good before tbey are put on
the market. Now, then, if It is fair for
these people to put a fixed price on
their products It ought to be Just a
fair for th farmer to put or hav a
fixed pries on all his products; thl
price to be a price that shall be Just
as fair to the consumer as to the pro
ducer. And the pries at tha local market
ought to be the same the man In Da

I don't think any ons would hav la
look long to find a farmer who would
exchange with them most gladly. I
have heard fools maks the remark
that the farmer could make money
raising potatoes at 21 cents a bushel
