FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1922 At First Sight - “Half-Million - to . See World's Greatest Fair” reads the headline of a recent Minneapolis Journal. At first .glance it might be construed to mean that it might cost a fellow that much to see it. But if it did, we’ll bet it would be worth it. —Only A Small Bet, Though— Birds of A Feather A couple married in England re- cently bore the names of Willing and Wise. After reading the first name, we can see why they did it, but after reading the second name we still_wonder why. —What’s In A Name?— Postmaster Surprised A woman called at the post office in a Maine town the other day and surprised the postmaster with this announcement: “I am going away and don’t know how long I shall be gone. If anything comes for me you will please tear it up.” And from that we would judge that the post office in that town would be a poor place for a fellow to go looking for her. —~Can You Beat It?— Agreed Once We recently read of a husband and wife suing each other for di- vorce, claiming they had had 50 fights since their mariage. Evident- ly the last time they had agreea was when they both said “I do.” —Aint It A Fact?— Solved A man who was attending a vaude- ville show in Denver recently laugh- ed so hard at one of the jokes that he became hysterical, fainted and had to be carried out of the theater. Unfortunately, says the Ayer, Mass. News, he was unable when he re- covered his reason, to remember the joke, But we think it must have been one of those jokes which the boss wouldn’t let us run in this column a few days ago. —You Tell ’Em— —It Wont Be Long Now!!— CREAMERIES: MAKE BIG SAVINGS ON FREIGHT (Farm Bureau News Service) Savings in freight rates on 1,200 carloads of bitter, shipped through the Minnésota Co-operative Cream- eries association in its first year of active marketing woérk, amount to $180,000. The association announced today that economies in freight charges, brought about by shipping in carlots, amount to more than twice the total cost of operating the organization. In other words, according to A. J. McGuire, general manager, the sav- ings in freight rates already have paid back to the co-operative cream- eries and their patrons more than the cost of the state agency, so that the other activities of the organiza- tion actually cost the farmers noths ing at all. The membership of the association totals 335 co-operative creameries. The state agency, launched last year, already covers all but five of the 86 counties in Minnesota. Four- teen expert field men are at work helping creameries to improve the quality of their product to command higher prices, and to market in car- load lots at lower transportation costs.

THE SEXES AT MIDDLE “AGE Woman Invatiably Remains Youngét Than the Man, Declares WHter k in Eastern Magazine. “If we consider the average middle- aged woman,” writes W. L. George, “her faculty for adopting new ideas; for being converted to new religions, however incredible; for packing her diy with occupations such as social intercourse, dress, causes, occupations which may be entirély imbecile, it surely, must be agreed that she retains more characteristics: of childhood, or, if ‘you like, savagery, than does her salid husband, plodding away at bis office, maKing money, with dull en- | thuslasm, and going”to sleep ‘dfter a day devold of phantasms. “It is likely that the middle-aged woman is younger than the middle- aged man. She thinks herself very clever, but as a rule she is the baby of the pair, and If it comes to a struggle where one must outwit the other, the man will usually prevail if hé puts his mind to anything so futile. If women often beat men at the game of Intrigue, it Is mainly because men can't be bothered; they're generally thinking of something else. “That is the central point. Most men, when they reach the shadow line, are infinitely more interested In their am- bitions, in thelr career, in the making of money, than in the quest for love. They have passed through all that, if they are lucky, and if they have not passed through It, love encounters for- midable rivals. I am sure that this day many lonely women are bitterly say- ing, ‘What’s a woman by the sidé of a career? "—Harper’s Magazine. MUST HAVE WORD FOR LOVE Suggestion That Oldéime “Swestheart™ Be Substituted fd¢ Alien “Fiancée” Seems Worth Considéring. The old bellef that “love hath no need of words” has proved itself to be wrong, declares London Amswers. ‘When you become engaged to be mar- ried you canmot introduce the fature sharer of your domestlc life by tdking her up to a friend and saying: “This is my——" and do the rest with a display of eye work. Yet that is what we were told—that “love spoke with the eyes.” The poor man would think that Iove had driven you mad.

George Gavan Duffy first came into notice when ‘as a member of the le- gal profession in London, he took charge of the defense of Sir Roger Casement. From that time he began gradually to associate himself with the Republican movement in Ireland, and through his friendship with De Valera received an appointmeft as| ambassador to Paris. -He came into the front rank of Irish affairs when the French government requestedi him to leave France.

Because of the comparatively light moisture the proper care of trees dates back two years before planting, at which time the soil should be brfoken.
