SUGGESTION SHOWING SIMPLE DEVICE FOR REMOVING LADIES' HATS IN CHURCH p Life of Love, and uAa Depends On Ey Beatrice Fairfax L and but and tie f OVE is the one thing In which every human being is inter- .iontict mtprpstert In science, artists in art. moneymakers in money, but to greater or less degree uiej one and all are interested in love. Yom mav be a disgruntled, sour old man or woman, but at some time in your life your heart has beaten quicker at the thought of some one person. Or, you may be a dreaming schoolgirl, or a rough tumble' boy with a boy's hearty contempt for senUment; your turn will come. Some day you will love. Love is the one thing that makes the whole world kin. Throueh all the millions of years, men and women have loved through all the millions of years to come, they will go on loving. The strange thing about it is that the most wonderful thing In all World should be regarded as such a commonplace thing. Hundreds of wise men and women nave written solemn discourses and sentimental poetry on love, and yet today love is just as gossamer and intan gible a thing as it was at ihe beginning. It is at once the longest lived and the shortest lived thing in the world It is deep and it is shallow. It is kind and it is cruel. It thrives under neglect, and. again, it withers under kindness. It is a garden rose, and an orchid. It is ennobling, and it is degrading. It is a tiling apart from all other emotions, and it holds the whole world In the hollow of its hand. People continually ask me: "Miss Fairfax, what is love?" That is a hard question to answer, because no one person can explain to another just what love is. All people love differently. My way of loving might not be yours, nor yours mine; and yet in her own way, each might love well. But I have seen much of love. I have seen it thrive, and I have seen It die; and about that I can tell you. I have seen men and women kill love, inch by inch. Some have cloyed It to death with sweets, others have killed it with bitterness. Sometimes it has died hard; sometimes it has drooped and died at the first blow. There are many different ways of killing love. Perhaps you have killed love. Perhaps some one has killed it for you. Sometimes love goes limping along in a half-hearted way that is sadder than death. All those who would hold love must make up their minds to one thing, and that is: That love must be all paramount; it must be the biggest, most important thing in their lives. It does not shut out all other interests, but it must come first. In the articles to follow this you may recognize your own method of killing !ove, or of keeping it alive.

Ross f HE newspaper cartoon is a democrat. Some day the inven tor of it will rank with Gutenberg, for in enlightening the people on public affairs it is to red ink and capitals what the arc-light is to the tallow dip.

Of course the machine, too, can launch IJ its cartoons, but a false cartoon is like a wet rocket. It does not go off. Some, I know, will pooh-pooh my showing. "You are behind the times," I hear them say. "Actually the trend is nil the other way. How about the rule of Big Business in American cities and states? Have not special inter ests, working through party machines, made self-government a fiction? And if democracy has become a sham in the house of its guardians, what hope Is there for it elsewhere?" No. What has been lost is not democracy, but certain fruits of decoc racy. The interests have their way only because they work in the dark always in the dark. They contrive to fool enough of the people enough of the time. There is robbery by the mailed fist, and robbery by the lithe hand. The feudal classes spoiled the people like a Front de Boeuf, the cor porations today filch from us like Fagin. The plain people here are hot weak, as they are in Russia, but they have not been taking notice that Is all. They have been too sure, too careless, too trusting. But it will not take gen erations of slow upbuilding to put the people again at the helm. Ring the tocsin a few years, and we shall see who is master. From Everybody's.

Patten was rictorious again, when he was able to sell more of his May wheat at the record price of $1.38. The deal for a time worked out very well for Mr. Patten, but the real burden is being borne by the people, who are working hard for their loaves of bread and are getting less and less for their J money every day on account of the nign price oi nour, consequeut upuu the advance in. the price of wheat. Bakers admit that bread Is more expensive than it has been for a long time, although the Increase is care fully concealed from the buying pub lic. The retail price of bread is still five cents a loaf, but if housewives were to take the trouble to weigh the loaves which they1 purchase they would soon discover that they are rapidly diminishing In weight, al though the size may remain the same. Corpulent loaves can be "manufac tured by a heavy charge of atmos phere, but that counts for little when It comes to assauging the pangs of hunger. Bakers are not taking at all kindly to the game of boosting the staff of life now being played on the Board of Trade. New York City. While the Patten bulls in wheat in Chicago rushed prices up to war quotations, some thing of the kind happened in the local market for vegetables and fruits. In Washington Market, for Instance, dealers were getting 7 and $7.25 a barrel for Bermuda potatoes, as against $5.50 a year ago. Aspar agus sold at $5 a dozen bunches, as against $3.25 a year ago, and let tuce brought twenty-five cents for three heads about as big as a man s hand. A year ago dealers were glad to get ten cents for three heads. Cu cumbers sold for six to ten cents each. Apples are almost as scarce as wheat. Seven dollars a barrel is the nominal quotation, but only the big dealers have any to sell, and the best are being sent to London. The New York State crop .was badly damaged by the dry spell last summer, and when It was sought to put the apples In cold storage they wouldn't keep. Colorado apples were similarly af fected. Thousands of barrels, deal ers say, rotted and had to be thrown away. The vegetable market has been stiffened lately by three severe frosts in Virginia, which killed all growing staff, and the farmers have had to replant. The keeper of a small fruit and vegetable stand in Washington Mar ket said that, while It would be de nied, he was sure there was a trust which controlled wholesale prices and had. pat them up to the present high level. -i , "The United Frolt Dealers' Asso ciation Is doing this,!' he said, "and it tells us prices are-going still higher. . Every , dealer In this place pays the same price. There Is no es cape." The bulk of the vegetable stuff we sell at this season comes from Charleston, 8. 3.; , Bermuda and Florida, both by. rail and steam ship. ; Some stuff, also cornea from California. Tnere seems always a scarcity, though bow, after the Easter demand has subsided, prices ought to go down The Virginia frost will be used now as an excuse for the high prices. We are making no money at all." Several other dealers said they didn't know whether there was a trust or not, but they were aware that prices for all garden stuff hadn't been so high in a decade. One re sult of the high prices had been to force some of the small dealers out of business. Quite a number of stalls In Washington Market have "For Rent" signs on them. A member of the firm of John Nix & Co., who are said to be largest wnoiesale dealers in fruits and veget bles in New York City, and who have buyers in California, Florida, Ber muda, the Carolinas, England and elsewhere, was asked about the charge that there was a fruit and veg etable trust. "Never heard of it," he said, "and there Is no such trust. If any man or set of men tried to corner the market he or they would fail. There are too many sources of supply. It is true prices are high, but the demand is here, and the law of supply and de mand rules. "Naturally we get all we can for our goods. My opinion is that the Grocers' Association is responsible for the present high prices. Long af ter wholesale prices have dropped, grocers go on charging the high prices irrespective of market condi tions. The consumer should trade more carefully and not pay such prices -as are exacted. If he would study the markets more carefully, the grocers would soon find it out, and prices would be more reasonable." Owing to the high prices ruling for potatoes, large quantities are being shipped here from England. The Wholesale price of Southern po tatoes is now around $3.50 a bag, the tariff on each bag, seventy cents, proving no obstacle. The steamer Minnehaha brought in from London 54,000 bags of Scotch potatoes. NO MORE CHEAP WHEAT. Head of Patten Corner Predicts Con tinned High Prices. .Chicago. James A. Patten re sponded to a telephone call from a country miller who wanted to buy a round lot of cash wheat. Before leaving the telephone booth he per sonally sold 6000 bushels No. 2 red wheat at $1.38, free on board cars here, which Is the highest price of the year yet accorded for this grade. He expressed himself as being de cided bullish on July wheat, believ ing It will reach even a higher level before the next harvest than' yet ret corded for May contracts. - He be lfeves all of the new crop months, which are now at a great discount under cash wheat, will have a big rise In values. . , ."We will see no more cheap wheat In this country till there la more ex tensive production to meet the grow Ing- consumption demandi,1' - contin ued Mr. Patten.
