LY | ¢ the majority who reach my office, sorrow was gnato- tng at her henrt-strings. To make a long story short, the favening claws of the divorce demon had reached into her and snatched love and happiness away. It ts inevitadle Gnd final, she informed me; but as a true mother, she ts going to make a brave stand to keep her kiddies in their home @nd bring them up normally. where someone can help. “I want to get some kind woman to come and live with me and take care of my little ones while I am away,” she said. “I will pay her.” If that woman happens to be you, kindly communicate with me by calling me at Main 600, or address your com- munication to The Star, and I will see that your application reaches the little mother. GIRL OF TWENTY-FIVE HAS \DECIDED VIEWS OF LIFE Dear Miss Grey: I have watched with great interest the iscussion begun by “Three Girls.” I think that every inion that has been advanced was met with most positive tradiction. One said, “Risk chance acquaintances,” and tt was promptly condemned; another said, “Make your Appearance all your pocketbook will warrant,” and promptly -some narrow-minded male wrote that he classed the well- RPPRN PHETT ASOT SST ARATE spectable.

You can get good results by planting the seed in rows only an inch under ground and then covering the bed four or five inches deep with straw. This is a very easy meth od, for while the potato plants will grow right thru the straw, prac tieally all the weeds and grass will be smothered out. Moreover, no hoeing or billing will be re quired. Another plan is to place the seed on top of the ground, then throw four or five inches of earth over them. A series of lit- tle beds can be made fn this way, the earth being taken from trenches between them. Under no circumstances, tho, make @ potato bin.
