THE GIRL WHO WANTED TO MARRY A FARMER Illustrations Shoo the Ethlblt of the INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY al the SAN FRANCISO EXPOSITION "Oil, dear! I wish I could marry a farmer," sighed Hetty Hurrous. "And live on a farm?" asked Mary tee Wntkins, ulio had just driven in town from the country to spend the day with Hetty and attend her theater party that afternoon, Mary I.ee's cheeks were aglow with coloring from the fresh country air, "No farm life for me, I too much of it every day. If I marry farmer, he will get a job in the city," she continued, "Leave a good living and all the op- Surely she did not know how awful it Is to have nice, clean room nnd alxmt night the men come in with mud sd thick on their shoes that there is enough to scatter all over the room. Hut men who use these many different machines on their farms do not bring in mud. For instance when Hetty's Uncle Jimmy got that International motor truck lie was compelled to improve the roads around his farm before he could use It ThU got all his neighbors to improving their roads.

So the mud around Uncle Jimmy's place was not so plentiful after he caught the Harvester spirit. Mary I.ee did not see much of the show that afternoon. She was thinking of that picture of the Model Farm She was wondering if that little cabin of John's could be made Into a modern farm house someday! She thought and wondered and dreamed. Late that evening John Woodruff drove in town for Mary I.ee. They had to hurry home nnd Hetty did not get to say anything more to her dearest friend about farm life They were almost home and John had The center plecoof tlio S.in I'ranclsco Harvester Exhibit which depicts the activity ot th" four seasons.

In this way Hetty ma le all her lingerie by hand. "I live a farm I know what it means When the men do not get in from the fields in time, then the women have to mi the cows and do lots of hard work outside," asserted the country girl. "You can getamilking machine now," returned Hetty.

Just the other day she had seen the pictures of the International Harvester Company's Miniature Model Farm exhibit which will be given at the Sin exposition This exhibit shows Hi I II cre.im separator and the churn Hetty a so told Mary about the I.

Mary Lee did not hesitate there was no si'euce, no anxious nomeiits for John for she said as though she had the words ready and waiting to speak: "John, you know I have always wanted to marry a farmer always wanted to marry you but never did I want to live on a farm until now" A bridal trip to San p'ranscisco was planned at once Alary wanted to see that exhibit of the International Harvester Company and John was anxious for her to see it C.reat it is to have a friend who really undeistands you, who will hep you push away false illusions that will keep you from getting the big things you want, who will help you overcome little faults that might keep you out of Heaven.

At the wedding Miss Hetty He le Hurrows was maid-of-honor. She was chosen because it was her picture that made Mary l.ee see that love could turn a cabin into a mansion the mansion was years and years away. John is just a poor farm boy but he has RUSSIANS MAKE FURTHER GAINS Heavy Guns Save Germans at Bzura Line. ACTIVITY IS BEING LESSENED Believed Germans Are Preparing to Make a Hard Drive Against French Line Near Solstona Only Minor Engagements Engage Troops. Paris (Special): Diminished activity tho past two days In western Europe has been unusual, but have been marked by two significant operations.

Tho Germans opened lire with their neavy Run3 upon the French line north of Solssons, In tho section whero the Germans In the middle of last month cored their only Important successes since they took root In northern France. Tho bombardment of the French lino suggests that the lnvader3 are preparing to mnko another onslaught similar to their drlvo which bent tho French line back nbout eighteen hundred yards January 15. It Is not considered likely however, Hint nttacks In this quarter can produce material udvantago for the kaiser's troops. The only other Infantry movement was an nttack by tho Germans In tho bitterly contested region ot HeatisIJour In the Champugno district. The attack was repulsed.

Klsewhere, from Arres to Ilhclms and from Argenne to the Vosges there were artillery combats but no Infantry fighting. The other operation of Interest marking a period of les3ened activity was the victory won by British troops between La Hnssee and Hethune. For many weeks the Germans maintained themselves In a brick yard which isrhlch dominated a road between tho Germans bn ie nt La Tiassee, and the French base at liethune. A detachment of llritlsh troops stormed and captured the German position and llrovo them to a second line. Probably tho most violent attacks delivered by tho Germans in northern France have been against the Hrltish troops.

Kach Bldo has given way only to swing back to its original position. London, Fob. S. Potrograd reports news from Warsaw that tho Germans west of tho Hzura and the Ravka are withdrawing to position I occupied west of Lodz, In tho early part of December, and that tho rotlre- iment Is the flrst stage of a general retreat from Poland. I The latest news of the situation on ,1110 short thirty miles west of Warsaw, Is confirmatory of the announcements ot bleaches in the Gorman line.

According to dispatches from Potrograd, the Kusslans have made further ad- jvances along the Hzura In tho move- 'ment designed to turn tho German left flank, and have crumpled tho German center by fierce nttacks on tho Ravka, south of the Hzura lino. It Is reported that the Goimans wero saved from complete rout only because of the in-monsQ numbers of heavy guns they had In support of their Infantry. Recognized Advantages.

"Hut machines cost loads and loads of money," continued Mary Lee.

"Yes, all machinery costs money," Hetty philosphied. "You can buy it on credit and soon pay for it, Huy one smalt machine at a time. Pay fork, then save up enough money to buy another. The more of these wonderful Iuteruatioii.il Harvester machines a farmer has, the less heavy work has he and especially does he need them in short seasons." Hetty made farm life sound ideal. energy nnd oh, how he loves Mary Lee.

Anyway, Hetty had accomplished her task and Mrs. John Woodruff was the happiest bride ever carried to a farm. Her friend is to marry a city lawyer next June, After all, Mary Lee is brave. She knows how hard it is to go in that cabin and help her young husband farm. John assured her it would not be so difficult because he would soon be able to equip their little place witli Harvester implements.

And then they knew nnd realized that theie is just us much happiness in making a mansion out of a cabin as having a mansion already made. GARFIELD Robert Pool's baby Is quite tick.
