DOROTHY DIXl young woman writes me a letter in which she asks me at what age a man Is likely to make the best husband. This Is a question that is impos i sible to answer by the calendar. It depends upon the individual man. Some men are easiest domesticated if caught while young and tender. Others can never be tamed until age fe and rheumatism make them I eel that they would like to eat out of a good, kind, motherly wife's hand.

And there are other men who can never bet thoroughly house broken at any Generally speaking, however, a prudent woman who desires to be happy, though married, will avoid the two extremes of age in selecting her husband and will say "no" to both young Romeo and tottering Grandpa when they come a wooing. Of course, there is no denying that there is something peculiarly appealing and alluring in a boy's love making. He is so impassioned, so deadly in so convinced that love is the only thing in tbe world, and that no human being in the whole history of humanity ever experienced the same emotions that are surging thrdugh his soul, that it is no wonder if a foolish girl is swept oft of her feet by it, and lets him persuade her to make the fatal journey to the altar with him. Alas, it is the undoing of both of Cold statistics show that most of the marriages that end in divorces began in calf love romance and were entered into by boys and girls who were too young to know their own minds or what they really desired in a. life partner.

Common observation bears out the, danger of early marriages, especially the marriages of boys. It is a Minister and significant fact that in almost every scandal in which a married man and a woman figure you will find out that the man married he was a mere lad. Also when'you see a faded washed out. neglected woman sitting alone at home while her goodlook ing and fascinating husband roams around in society, and is pitied by all who know" him for being tied to a dowdy wife whom he has outgrown, you will ascertain, if you investigate, that he picked her out when he was an unformed and Js spending his maturity repenting his salad days tastes. There are no such unfaithful husbands as those who qualified in the husband class too young.

The truth is that nothing equals the ease with which a boy can fall in love except' the facility with which he can fall out of love. Youthful passion in a masculine breast is fierce flame that burns itself out so completely it doesn't even leave a cinder 6n the heart's hearth to remember the girl by. The kind of a girl a boy adores in the early twenties bores him in the late thirties. This is the case whether he is married to her or not. That is why a woman is nothing short of an imbecile to trust her fate to a man before his tastes are formed; before he has seen enough of women to know what he is doing when he selects one for keeps, and especially before he has tasted enough romance to have had his fill of it, and to be willing to settle down to a daily diet of the domestic Ijirew, Another reason why a girl is taking a long shot at happiness if she marries a very young man is because a boy is almost invariably selfish, undisciplined, and egotisti cal.

He lacks the patience to hear i with another's faults, and weak nesses; the wisdom to steer the matrimonial ship into a safe port, and when he finds out that marriage doesn't mean billing and cooing, but bills and bad cooking, and heavy responsibilities, why, he's mighty "apt to turn surly and grouchy and blame his wife for the COLUMBIA RECORDS FOR JULY TODAY!

LEASED WIRE! HARRISBURG, June 20, The bulletin of the State Department of Agriculture estimates that the Penn sylvania wheat crop this year will amount to 21,000,000 bushels, which is a decrease as compared with the crop in 1916. The condition of the wheat on June 1 is given as 86 per cent of an average on that day for the last ten years. About 20,000 acres of land sown to1 wheat last fall was ploughed down this spring because stalks were damaged, but many farmers al lowed the wheat to stand, figuring that a half crop would still yield a good return.

The bulletin also gives 22,000 acres as the increase in acreage sown to oats as compared with 1916 and predicts a big increase In the acreage devoted to buckwheat. Cold weather in Mav and June have cut down prospects for a big paach crop, says the bulletin. The yield, however, is predicted as likely to. be considerably ahead of that of last year.
