Something More Would Be Helpful That entirely too much sympathy is wast ed on the farmer when he fails, was the ex pression of a Klamath Falls resident. The idea was further bolstered with the statement that a large percentage of business houses in this city have failed and that no public sympathy was wasted on them. This is no more than complaining of what is a logical fact. There is little reasoning, how ever, back of it. While Klamath has the sup port of industry new, and will have for many years to come, its greater progress must be based on its agricultural development. If the farmer should continue to fail to any considerable extent on the Klamath it would indeed be a serious matter. Forget, for a mo ment, that this community has any other than agricultural support. Everyone would then be greatly concerned when a farmer failed. If the farmer did nbt prosper no business, big or little, could succeed. When a business house closes its doors nothing more may .be indicated than that the farmer has already failed. Klamath will never prosper in full measure until its idle acres are r3tveicpul and ia depand-.barmet.j Aqd when a farmer tries and fails no sympathy extended him is wasted. It is far better though that he be extended all the aid possible to pre vent his failure. The sympathy is poured out in full meas ure' every time an abandoned form is encoun tered.

All gleeful he hurried to the post office, only to be halted temporarily by a long line of men and women with hands full of desirable cur rency of the realm. Sure, folks did send money through the mail to other folks. What could be sweeter! The writer at length got to the window with his notice. Followed a thorough identifi cation of himself, past and present. A bulky envelope was passed through the window to eager hands. Off in the corner it wa3 torn open. It proved to be an invitation to pur chase the Encyclopedia Britannica. Down with mail order business! Down with the post office department! Christmas can never be what it wa3 intended while such institutions exist. Any interested party will find the regis tered letter in one of the copious post office waste paper repositories. The planes of the war period may be ob solete; So, apparently, is the discipline of the war period. Compiled by It. W.

It's the old. old qnestlcft shall 1 marry for luve or money? this ' young woman ask me: Dear .Mrs. Thompson: I hare gono with a young fellow for over a year and have grown to love , him very niurb. My mother op- proved of our going together un- ! til aha met the friends of my ; filfilers who havo more money than , xny friend has. 6he scolds mo ' for liking him because he hasn't money and says that If we erer j Set married I won't he able to , hure the things which I bare now. ' I come from a rather well-to-do family. Don't you believe It Is better to marry for love than for money? Should I give up thn fellow I really love for my mother's sake, or should I try to get along with what he eaa give met - PEGGY. Doth love and money are neces sary to complete married hap piness. Your mother may be en deavoring to save you from hard ships she had to undergo herself in her early married days. Try to understand her viewpoint. No girl should marry a man who hasn't soma money in the bank, good health and fair prospects. Tt takes a great deal of money to Ret a homo started, and nothing more Idiotic was ever uttered than "Two can live as cheaply as one." However, the measure and qual ity of your own outlook on Ufa havo a direct bearing un thn amount of money necessary to give you and your husband true hupplness.

You must remember that your mother's lllnesa probably lias put her In a nervous stiff that Snakes her easily Irritated. . Bit coin plains about little things that she would not notice if sha wore well. You will have to practice patience and take her criticisms without letting It hurt you, remembering that she really bn't responsible. I think you should manage some way to complete your education, even If It maken a heavy demand on tho time you aren't occupied In waiting on your mother. Your little sinter certainly should be compelled to help you. I think that If you would put it up to your father In tho right way, ho would agree. Forget the boy until your re"ponslbililles aren't so heavy. rich, hut think what It Is 'to the poor!

" 'Thanks,' be said, 'but I don't raro to play billiards, old man.' "'Come on! Why not?' " 'Well, yu see." said Tom with a shivor, 'every tlnto I look at the three hulls on the table they make mi think of my over coat.'
