FOR THE GOOSE-—
LOTTA women'd like to keep

A hypocrite has got a long face for
the neighbors and a different one for
herself. But a woman with a martyr
eomplex has got a long face even for
harself.
If a woman once lets herself get
epten up by an emotion. everything
she sees, hears, thinks or feels is on'y
that much more food for it.

History don't record no single case

There's no excuse for not knowin’
the kind of flowers your girl likes. It
ain't the sort of thing women is in the
habit of makin’ no particular secret

A man that knew how to buy a
woman flowers could get away with
anything short of halitosls.

Wine that is permitted complete

“dry.”
Why the term for a completely fer
mented or sour wine? Let us turn for
a moment to another figurative nse of
the word “dry.” our slang expression
“dry wit.” Mr. Webster defines it as
characterized by a quality that Is “s
vere, hard, sharp” and gives forther
significance of “dry” as “lacking
sweetness!” When we learn, then,
that in a dry wine the fermentation
has eliminated all but 1 per cent of
the sugar, the aptness of the term Is
easily comprehensible !

Cost of Harvesting Reduced

harvester-thresher is the most recent
method of harvesting the ean
seed erop. To date the job of harvest
ing soy beans for seed or commercial
purposes has been the biggest problem
that the soy-bean grower has had to
meet. In fact, the grief encountered
in harvesting the seed crop has pre-
vented a more rapid increase in
acreage of this legume, according to

to Assist Clover Crop
The use of ground limestone where
clovers do not grow successfully, the
practice of a good farm rotation
which includes a clover crop, sufficient
natural or artificial drainage and the
thorough working of the soil to con-
trol weeds are essential to profitable
crop production. The response in
crop yields which will attend the ju-
dicious application of manure and
commercial fertilizers will depend to
a large extent upon the attention that
is given to those other essential fac
tors which are also largely under con-
trol of the farmer,
