Not only in 1928 over and 1929 begun, but the big chance is done with. It will be 1932 before the girls have another such opportunity. Time is leaping, and leap year is pretty near finished. It would certainly be interesting to know just how many proposals were made by girls this year. Whether they proposed more often than they did in 1927, which was just a. plain ordinary year. We have a slight suspicion that if a girl wishes to propose, she cares little about waiting until a year that can be divided evenly by four comes along, Love doesnt 'go according to rules. Perhaps, after all, women do little proposing. Their art consists, we .have read, in getting the man they want to spring the question making the men think themselves uggressive and forward when they are merely responding to dozens of time honored hints and tricks that only the feminine of the species understands. But no matter how much we ponder and guess, we are at a loss. There are no statistics on the matter. There is no way of finding out whether many girls propose in Iieap Year or n.ot, or whether they do their leaping at another time, or whether they invariably, wait for the question. We just dont know and any'-waits not our business! HOW TO TELL CHARACTER There are now more ways of telling character than can be counted on the fingers of both hands. First, we have tlhe horoscopes in which many these be accurate Whether believe. or not none character of indices there are with certainty can say world of this in too many mysteries have wonder but many seers definite on the court to hailed been that their foresight information and knowledge of character came of mechanical ingenuity rather than spiritual insight. Palmistry is another means of fortune telling time-honor- ed Desirability of Having Organic Matter in Soil One of the important explanations of the desirability of having a quantity of humus or decomposing organic matter in the soil, Is found in the capacity of humus for soaking up and storing water which is thus made available later for use by growing plants. Experiments have revealed that 10 pounds of sand can hold only 25 pounds of water, and 100 pounds of clay soil can hold half Its weight in water. In contrast, 100 pounds of decaying organic matter may hold as much as 190 pounds, or nearly twice its weight of water. Most soils are mixtures in varying proportions of sand, clay, silt and organic material. As a rule the greater the proportion of organic matter contained in the soil e cathe greater Its pacity, and the greater reserves of moisture it will retain for resistance to droughty and hot weather. water-absorptiv- Pruning .Apple Trees to Obtain Better Results out an apple tree not for sake of the tree itself, the only but in order to obtain better fruit by gettipg more air and sunlight F.
