|l KILLING THE LOVE STUFF} f
ft?—...... — t ft
ft * l ft
ft! By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.;
All the week Sylvia had buried her
nose In the papers on her desk, all the
week she had read and sorted and
blue-penciled and dictated qmidst the
roaring of 50 typewriters ‘ and the \
shrilling of the telephones. A fiction
editor under such circumstances is
likely to get stalled on romance.
“Love, love, love, it’s always love,”
she declared with disgust. “I get so
sick of this everlasting Stuff! I think
I’ll scream if someone isn’t murdered
soon or the hero doesn’t die before his
time. But I have to throw them out if
they’re not dripping with lovO ,for
that’s what the public demands. ^
No one heard these sentiments for
the roaring and shrilling went o
ceasingly, drowning almost every
sound. Even Brilles, the hard
managing editor on the other
the big room was adding to the
monium ty forcibly calling down a
for missing a big thing he was
cover the night before.
“I think,” she mused, as she pi
her hat and jacket and hooked u;
furs, “that I can’t accept any
stories from Treador Vane. The
is getting so thick I can’t
through. Sometime I’ll put It
Brilles. He’s about as romarn
unbendable as a plate-glass
but not,” she glanced over at
zically, “so transparent. A
sphinx, I should sap.”
She reached the street, a
canyon between the high cliffs of
ings. She was greatly
that the cold, drizzling rain
falling at noon had stopp
the thermometer had npt only
25 degrees, but that a wind, bi
strong, was tearing down the
and freezing everything as it
Pedestrians were groping the]
along, keeping close to the wi
safety, but it was hazardous b
Sylvia watched a moment t
haven, of the vestibule. She hail
squares to go for her car. ,ni
had a happy thought Up In the I
room she had a pair of skates.
When she went through tb<
room Brilles was still at his
Brilles, the flintlike, the heartl
much-to-be-feared.
Sylvia stopped beside
turned in his swivel chair and r
ed her silently, running his
her slim, girlish figure in its
jersey suit, soft furs and llttl
under which her face glowed
rose.
“What is it?” he asked quite
“I want to ask you If you
we’re running too much
the story column. I’ve
everything with love in it, and
ing hundreds of ripping good
just because the hero forgot to klsB
girl or the parson refused to marry tb4
old maid. I thought I’d ask your opin-
ion. How would it do to run in an
occasional good one on another theme?
All this love stuff is just a dream,”
“Is it?”
“Yes—you know it as well as I do.
But the public is queer. They're
crazy about one Treador Vane. I per-
sonally wouldn’t give his truck room
In the ash barrel."
Brilles tapped his desk a minute
thoughtfully. “Look here, Miss Hun-
ter, you’re here to run that column,
so do as ycu please about It Tve read
that Vane stuff myself and Pm sure I
agree with you. You’re right a'
the love business, too. Even the
nowadays don’t know what it
Business or something has taken all
the romance out of them. You’re a
good example yourself.”
Sylvia started and remembered her
own summing up of the managing edi-
tor. Certainly the verdict was mutoaL
“It’s a bad night and I’m getting my
skates,” she said as she left. *Tm go-
ing to skate to the car on the pave-
ment.”
But as she gilded over the slippery
street she decided not to take the car.
Crossing a street, Sylvia collided
with a man. They went down togeth-
er In a heap.
“Miss Hunter!” cried he springing
up.
“Mr. Brilles,” exclaimed Sylvia.
“Are you hurt?”
“Not a bit”
But when Sylvia got to her feet
with his help she turned pale. “I be-
lieve Tve twisted my foot,” she said.
“Oh, that’s too bad!- Can you bear
your weight on it at all?”
“Yes, if I don’t move it.”
“Then I’ll tow you home. How far
is itr
“About four squares.”
When they reached her door she In-
sisted that he come in. “You haven’t
had dinner, have you?” she asked.
“No,” he admitted.
“Then you . must share ours,” she In-
sisted.
So Brilles, the flinted-hearted,
stayed and .spent the evening. The
next morning the pretty editor laid a
page from' a note hook on his desk in
the office. “I found this on the floor!”
she smiled teasingly.
Mr. Brilles took It and turned a
guilty red. It was a page of notes
with Treador Vane’s name at the top.
“I’m guilty of those awful stories!’
be confessed.
“It’s hard to connect you with senti-
ment,” she smiled, “but I’ve decided to
keep the stories on, I thought I’d tell
you.”
“But you inspired them,” he an-
swered quickly. “May I come again
tonight?”
“Yes,*' she said gently.

THA T REMINDS ME
Why Boys Leave the Farm.
(Austin American.)
Why did you leave the farm, my lad,
Why did you bolt and qi it your dad ?
Why did you beat it off to town,
And turti your poor old father dowr ?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press,
Are wallowing in deep distress:
They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas. ,
Some say they long to ge: a taste
Of faster life and social waste;
Some say the silly little chumps
Mistake the suit-cards f)r the trumis,
In wagering fresh and germless air
Against the smoky thoroughfare;
We’re all agreed the farm's the place,
So free your mind and stace your case.
Well, stranger, since you’ve been so
■ frank, . •’
I’ll roll aside the hazy bank,
The misty cloud ol theories,
And show you where the trouble lies.
I left my dad, his 'farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his cow.
I left my dad—’twas wrong, of
course—
Because my colt became his horse.
I left my dad to sow and reap,
Because m-j lamb became his sheep.
I dropped my hoe and stuck my fork
•Because my pig became his pork.
5 garden truck that I made grow
ras his to sell, but mine t> hoe.
Et's not the smoke in the atmosphere,
the taste of “life” that brought
me here. - ; •
'lease tell the platform, pulpit, press,
fo fear of toil, or love of dress
driving off the farmer lads,
lut just the methods of their dads. |

Think.
Yes, think, and think along straight
les. And when you see things are
ling contrary to the paths marked
by common sense and reason, cair
lit, and get back to sense and san-
this day of much tom-foolery it phoned their wives to come
hold to that good old. com- ’-sur/’—Birmingham- -Ago.He*al<L
sense that characterized us as a
;p£bple way back in the days of our
daddies.
And, above all else, do some think-
ing; don’t accept the other fellow’s
opinion on all things. Exercise that
God-given privilege of doing a little
thinking for yourself.
A False Idea.
Every day I see it asserted that
Texas can feed the whole country.
That might be true, under ideal con-
ditions, if every foot of land was put
into cultivation, and then cultivated.
But the question is, when is she go-
ing to do it? When.is she going to
produce enough to even feed herself?
She has never, done it yet. Every day
of every year many car-loads of feed
and food are shipped into Texas.
Every year hundreds of cars of .corn
and corn products, wheat and wheat
products, bacon and lard, and a thou-
sand pther things, are shipped right
into this section of Texas—this sec-
tion that we boastingly refer to as
the best part of Texas. /
Texas has never yet grown corn
enough for her own consumption;
Texas has never yet grown enough
wheat, enough bacon, enough fruits;
or enough of anything, perhaps, ex-
cept cotton, and worthless dogs.
It is time to wake up to the situa-
tion. , The world is facing a food
famine, according to the very best
authority. Breads riots are common
in Russia, the greatest grain country
on earth, and bread riots have taken
place in these United States the past
few days.
: Just get it out of our head that this
talk of food shortage is all talk. It
is a reality; and it behooves us ail to
get busy in efforts to feed ourselves.
Opening His Eyes. '
Senator Bandegee said at a recep-
tion in New London:
“The divulgation of the German
plot against us has opened the eyes of
our most rampant pacifists and our
most pe;rverse hyphenates. We know
now how Germany regards us. Yes, *
our eyes are opened.
“In fact, we’re a good deal in the
position of the wide, wer who married
again. This chai.’s little daughter by
his first wife said to him one day
shortly after the honeymoon:
“Papa, is my new mamma going to
go mad soon?”
“Ha, ha!” laughed the happy ex-
widower, “I certainly hope not. Ha,
j ha, ha! Why do-you ask me such a
question as that?” ■*
“Because,” said the little girl, “i
overheard her telling the cook yester-
day that when she married you she
got bit.”-—Exchange.
