Washington — Mexican revolutionists have yielded to the demands of this government all along the line, according to a state department announcement issued here.

Ann entered into her second engagement to marry with a firm determination to like it. It was, she thought, the best thing she could do; she was toucbingiy ready to be happy; she was only too willing to view her lover with bemused eyes. At first this was made easy by the fervent congratulations of every one she saw; she lived, for a while, in an atmosphere of adulation, for when the announcement was printed in the papers, the future Contessa Avezzana became* all at once, an Important person. Enthusiastic acquaintances stopped her on the street to assure her of the good looks of her count, and of the romantic nature of her engagement. It was romantic, she told herself a hundred times a day, and she delighted In Guldo's dark beauty. When she was not with him, sh'e thought of him with a fair similitude of ardor. Their Interviews, however, were not so satisfactory; the girl found them strangely baffling. Avezsana brought to them a sensuous atmosphere, it Is true, of which Ann was tlnglingly conscious, but which served only to make more barren the fact that she really knew nothing about this person she was to marry. Hitherto her erotic experiences had all been of an exploratory nature, but this man defeated all her tentative efforts to pry into the closed shell of his inner personality. In the beginning his careful formality amused the American girl; she liked to tease him into Impulsive betrayals of It, but as the days ran on she had leas Inclination to do so. Their talk was of so trivial a nature that she, too, grew formal, but with the important difference that hers was a response to an inner recoil rather than a complicated convention. She made, one day, an unfortunate attempt to establish companionship. "Guido, I should like to take you over to the hospital. I haven't been there since we became engaged—I am almost ashamed to go—but I want you to see where I've been working." "You will pardon me, carisslma mlo, but I prefer to forget those hospitals. . . . Here, In these so charming anrroundings, you are all a young girl must be. . . . Beautiful—without experience. . . , No." He reached out and took her hand in his as carefully as though it were made of fragile stuff. "My Ann, I have this to suggest—that you do not speak to ray mother of thost hospitals. . . . She would not understand." "But—there was nothing wrong In my working there. I'm proud of having done it; it was my share of the war." "SI, carisslma, but now all Is different." He kissed her finger tips, one by one, with an air of savoring them, adding, "Work Is for men—non e • e r o r Ann looked at him curiously. She found his life amazingly difficult to understand; lie was like an unsuccessful bas-relief; she could not imagine him in the round. "What work do you do, when you are at home?" she asked definitely. "I am an officer," Avezzana straightened importantly. "But you hope soon to have peace, la Italy." "Che e lntelllgente! Peace—yes, but there remain much duties." "What kind of duties?" "Drills—reviews—but why should jrou understand?'' "Why shouldn't I?" "You are a woman." "What of it?" Avezzana smiled deeply upon her. *8ome day you win know," he murmured. In spite of the fact that he evidently considered the matter closed, Ann persisted. "Haven't you any work to do, outside the army?" "But yes—there is always politics.*' "Shall you run for something? How axciting T " R - r r u n r "Yea. For congress—or whatever you have, in Italy." Avezzana laughed at that, but Ann conld see that ha Copyrisht by Tbe BohbvlterfllCa, •No, I shall not—what you say?—'ran' for political position. . . . You would better leave all this to me, carisslma mlo. It is not for you." She found it impossible to think beyond the reunion with her guardian ra Paris. Tbe- fact that-aha wee-to* spend the rest of her life In Italy was unbelievable, and aha) let It go at t h a t She •imply could not take In anything so Incredible. She wondered If any other alii was ever married in this way, almost without bet own volition, but she was too tired and-to dejected to protest. Instead, aba tried to do exactly what was expected of her every day, and every day a swift current swept her nearer the vortex. Tbe wedding testations wart ordered, addressed and sent off by hand with extraordinary efficiency and haste. Ann waa dasad by the speed which this machine «f her own mahJag attained. <Hddo waa a Catholic, and he explained casually te Ana that It would iry for bar to jstn his She had ho objections to dotag so, snd Mr. Henneatjei's facetious that b e ' w a s afraid aha would roa only a' faint Her father nroat have a CetnoilcVsibe supposed.

She could not Imagine sweeping her white satin skirts up the long aisle. She walked home, in the arid late September beat, with a curiously sinking heart. She could never remember being so spiritless; It frightened her to realize it. Guido was happy enough; She would have hated it had he been as depressed as she was. Perhaps, she thought she owed It to him to tell him how lacking in enthusiasm she was. At the thought her heart leaped u p ; she would tell him, and possibly he might dispel this unnatural dejection. She found him waiting when she reached home. "Where have you been, mlo Bella?" he demanded, gayly. As Ann looked at his radiant happiness, a perverse desire to shatter It arose within her. "I've been to take a look at your church," she said, coldly. "Sly church? Per Bacco—our church, earisslmo—Is It not? In nitfe days we share all things." "Shall we? Shall we, really, Guido?" "You ask me that!" Ills devastation at her doubt was thorough, but theatrical. Ann persisted, in spite of him. "We don't share anything at all, now. . . . There are things I cannot eves talk to you about. . . . It makes me very unhappy." She broke off, In a panic lest tears should make her protect ineffective. "What things?" "Well—that night at Gettysburg, for Instance." "No, you are right, not that." "But why not? It Is where you fell in love with me. You told me so, that morning, before you left. Don't you remember? It is a part of us—that night. . . . It is ridiculous to act as If it hadn't happened! When two people love each other they should be natural. . . . We are never natural, when we are together." "Nature? She Is for the people— not for you and me." "But I am of the people, Guido. . . . You never seem to underst?»nd that! I wasn't born to all this luxury. When I was a child I used to be poor; I peeled the potatoes, and brought the cow In at night, and In winter I cleaned away the snow. . . . You don't like me to talk about that, do you?" Guldo's dark face flushed. "No. For the Contessa Avezzana it is not necessary to go quite BO far back. In my country no one will question where I find you. It will be enough that you have become—my wife." "It will never be enough for me!" Ann burst out: "Guido—can't you see that I am all wrong for you? Can't you understand that I can never make you happy?" She was horrified at her words as she said them, but she did not withdraw them. Instead she waited, breathless, to hear what Avezzana would say. To her amazement, he patted her hand with complete calm and murmured : "You are nervous, my Ann. . . . Do not distress yourself; you have only to leave all to me." It was too much; the girl's nerves, to which he had so soothingly referred, suddenly snapped. She poured a torrent of appeal upon him; she found herself saying things of which she never had any premonition; she begged him to let her go—to forget her. It was after this climax that she felt the Italian's cold eyes upon her; they brought her up sharp. "Go? No—never," he said frigidly. "You are a child to speak to me s o ! . . . This Is what come? of unbridled talk. You see, my way lb better." "But, Guido—I don't love you. I never entirely realized It before—hut I don't" "Why should you, before we marry? It is enough tnat you do not dislike me. . . . After, you may leave It to me." "But suppose T shouldn't grow to -ears for y o u £ L Avezzana smil ed superbly T t a k e the chance," he said. "Doesn't It make any difference to you, knowing how I feel?" "It puts me on my mettle, mlo Bella," And ~that • was the- end of that t Ann *allzed quite clearly that she was, this time, well c a u g h t In a moment Mrs. William came bustling into the room with a foreign package in her hands, which Avezzana identified as addressed in his mother's fine handwriting. The two of them opened It "Xpedltiously, while Ann stood apart, watching them with sullen eyes. There was beautiful old Venetian lace in the nackage, and a necklace of diamonds which sent Mrs. Cortlandt Into an ecstasy. She Insisted on trying It around the bride's slim t h r o a t In spite of Ann's Indifference. » . . Avessana stood looking on with shining eyes, and the girt realized that he considered her apathetic attitude a becoming on* for the future Contessa Avesaasi. .

After a long time her sobs lessened, and she lay for a while, listening to the homely sounds ?hat drifted in from the square. . . . She was, now, more melancholy than desperate. . . . She wondered if she might get Fanny to auvise her, but a memory of her friend's aloofness since she had broken with Hendricks made her give that up with a sobbing sigh. The aunts were worse than useless, and she had no confidence In Mr. Renneslyer's good sense. . . . Peter! How stupid she had been not to have thought of him before! There was, at last, some one to whom she could talk with absolute freedom! She sprang up, and wrote to him a; once. "Dear Peter: "I am to be married next week to Count Guido Avezzana. He is an Italian, and I do want to see you, very much. My uncle is still away, and I feel very lonely. If you are at Milton Center I wish you would come up to New York. "Yours sincerely, "Ann Byrne. "P. S.—I hope you are quite well again. I shall alwavs remember that you saved ray life. A. B." After that she was happier, although she could not have said why. It was less than a week before the wedding, when very early one morning old Joseph brought a note up to her. "A little boy, he brung it," he said. "They Is no answer, Miss Ann." The girl opened It listlessly, entirely uninterested In Its contents. She read: "Annie, you must come out and talk to me. There Is no use In my coming 10 the house; I'd have no chance with you, with Mrs. Cortlandt and all that lot. Bring a key to the gate with you, and we will sit In the squure where we won't be disturbed. I have to see you alone. It Is a matter of life or death. Peter." "Peter!" Ann's heart softened at his sprawling signature. Of course she would go to him. "Good old Peter:*' she said aloud, putting any hat at all on her head, regardless of the way she looked. Peter was waiting for her by the gate. He looked very well, she thought, as she ran toward him; not beautiful, like Avezisana—common- } pleasant roughness. Peter," She could feel her cheeks burn, under his eager eyes. "I—have to marry Guido. We—we were together all night, at Gettysburg." "What of l t r Radiant relief flashed into Ann's face. "Oh, that is what 1 tried to make them see! We were trying to get away from the battle, Peter, and we couldn't find the Sanitary commission, and I was too tired to go on, and we found an empty house—" "You can tell me the story of your life some other time, Annie. The thing to do now is to make up your mind to throw over this Italian." "Oh, Peter, you know what I did to Hendricks? I have to marry Count Avezzana, now I said I would. Do you know what everybody would call me If I didn't?—A Jilt! And I don't see how ^ could go on living with the Cortlandts If I did * thing like that, now they're so pleased wlt$ the match!" She began to cry, softly and hopelessly. *You don't have to live with the Cortlundts," Peter said roughly. He leaned over and put an urgent hand on her arm. ""You're coming to Chicago to live with me." Ann was too startled to reply. She looked at him in wide-eyed astonishment, her last tears trembling on her cheeks. Peter answered the Interrogation In her look. "You don't think I came here just to talk, do you?" he demanded. "I came to take you back with me, and I am going to do It. Do you know what this Is?" Ho produced a stiff official-looking pai»er from his coat pocket. Ann shook her head, speechless. "It's a marriage license, that's what It Is! I've got It all fixed up with a minister at the Unitarian church, to marry us this morning." "Rut, Peter," Ann expostulated feebly, "I never heard anything so ridiculous In my life! I am going to marry Count Avezzana next Wednesday, at eight o'clock, In the Catholic cathedral." "Are you a Catholic?" "Not yet, but I will be, Monday." "Well, you can go ahead and be a Catholic, If you want to, hut the wedding Is off! Understand that?" i "Why, Peter, I'll have to go through I with It—so late, like this." i Peter frowned at her fiercely. "You havt to do nothing of the sort," he stormed. Suddenly he let go his grasp | on her arm to take hold of her shoul* | ders and pull her toward him with a Then he kissed live In. After all, a man doesn't take a honeymoon every day." He waited outside in the square while Ann went home to do her pack* lng. She wondered, as she climbed the familiar high steps, if this were the last time her feet would ever pas* that friendly threshold, and as th« shadow of the house fen over her she thought, too late, of her guardian's possible reaedbn to her mad behavior. She slipped in and up the stairs without meeting any one. Her room was already In a pandemonium of packing; three trunks stood about with their great mouths gaping for the fine new clothes of her trousseau. She chose the larger one, and hastily put Into it the plainest dresses she had, a part of her linen, and her underclothes, but she left all the finer things behind her. Avezzana's Jewelry she tied up in a little box; she struggled for some moments to write him a note to accom- . flaasw ftrst time that the bridal been left alone. They I la the violently flowered anything else, sfter place, perhaps—but strong and plain and comfortable. His rugged face was white, ami she wondered if he were not yet entirely well. "Annie," was all he said, as she gave hlra her hand, and she fancied there was reproach In his tone. "I am awfully glad to see you, Peter," she cried, gallantly opposing his depression, They hurried into the square and shut the Iron gate behind them, with the air of conspirators. Ann wondered what Avezzana would think If he could see her running along with a strange man's hand on her arm, but she did not care, she was so glad to see Peter! Good old comfortable Peter! Nothing alien about Peter, nothing mysterious. nothing restrained ! They found a bench where the shade lay thick. There Peter spoke. "Annie," he said, "you are not going to marry that Italian!" Ann looked at him open-mouthed; it would have been impossible for her to have " I Am A w f u l l y Glad te See You, 'Peter"" She "Cried. been more surprised. Peter'a eyes were fierce, and the bony structure of his Jaw was suddenly noticeable to an extraordinary extent "You must be mad," the girl said a t length. Her feelings were divided between Indignation and amazement. "I am not half so road as you are,"* Peter snorted indignantly, "marrying a foreigner like t h a t ! How do you know be will make you happy? Going off to a strsnge country, too—to Italy—with him! What would yon do tf yon dldnt like it, away off there alone 7" Ann shivered a little, for suddenly the castle in Piedmont, where-^thry were to go on their arrival In Italy, seemed like s prison to her. "Yon haven't any right to talk to me like this, Peter," she cried fiercely. "1 am unhappy enough, as it is."

"How shout It?" he demanded boyishly, holding her away from him and laughing Into her perturbed face. "Oh, Peter, I don't know. I've got my trousseau and everything, and Culdo has given me a lot of things— rings and brooches—and I have had a present from his mother, and a letter from uncle. I think he wishes me to marry Count Avezzana—I've been such a trial to him. I couldn't disappoint him again." Peter's mouth set In a straight severe line. "This has nothing to do with any one In the world except you and me," he said sternly. "I guess you know I love you, all right. I didn't say anything before because I am so d—d poor, I thought I'd go back to Chicago and work like the devil and make some money before I tried to tie you up, but you have rushed me. Y«~u belong to me, Annie, don't you know that?" A delightful peace settled down on Ann. "I never knew It before this minute," she sighed happily. "It will be hard work at first, but you won't mind that, will ynu? You're strong, and you weren't born to all this luxury. We'll do something out there before we're through, and we'll do It together. Partners! Tve got a little money. Before I get through I'll make a rich woman of you. But Just at first, Annie, If it is hard work, you won't mind?" "Peter, I'd love to work," Ann assured hlra expansively. "I hate being a fine lady. But do you thins it would be possible for me to marry you, and Just go off? Leave all this behind me?" Peter laughed and kissed her again. "Possibler he said. "It's happening. You will be my wife In half an hour." They came out of the little square with an even more consplratal air than that with which they had gone In. It was almost noon and the streets were deserted. -Peter would not allow Ann out of his sight even long enough to go home for her gloves, but hurried her off to the horse cars, where she sat silent while he talked to her steadily of the new life she was about to undertake. He gave her no time for thought, no empty moments In which she might change her mind. The minister waa waiting for them. He seemed extraordinarily unclerical to Ann. used to Episcopal robes and ritual, but his church was convincingly righteous, and she was forced to believe that the brief ceremony which they went through was entirely legal. The minister shook bands with them both, and It was over. Out on the street Ann wondered if horror were the feeling that overpowered her, but when she stole s glance st Peter's determined face, she knew that it was not Secure in his strength she could no longer fear the future, no matter how long tt might be. It was he who told her just what she shoald do. She wss to go home to Washington square, put into ner new trunks sll her old clothes, and such parts of her trousseau as might be useful In the extremely plain life which confronted ber. She was then to leave a tag on tbe trunk with directions to forward It to a hotel in Chicago. •Tbe Adama borne la pretty grand for aa,*" Pater aaid, laughing, *%at I gaaaa wa can stand a faw days of It •Mrs. Peter Chicago. Smith, Adams House, Please Forward.'* pnny It, but found that she was quite unable to do so. Instead she scraw'ed across a piece of paper, "I am sorry. Ann," and folded It away with ihe diamonds. Peter's wide gold wedding ring looked very plain and sensible on her hand, In place of Avezzana's gorgeous token. There remained only the necessity of writing to Mrs. William, and this she accompUxhed with ease. "I am married to Peter Smith," she said briefly, "and I am going to Chicago with him today. I know there Is no use trying to make you understand how I came to do it, but please believe I am sorry to pain all of you, and Count Avezzana. Tell htm for me that I am ashamed of myself, but that I cannot help It." She addressed the note to Mrs, Cortlandt and then for tiie first time wrote her new name upon a piece of paper, "Mrs. Peter Smith, Adams house, Chicago. Please forward." She stuck the label on the top of the trunk, cast one sorrowful look about the room which had given her sweet shelter for so long, and stole off down the stairs and along the square to where Peter was waiting for her. CHAPTER X V I I Honeymooning. Ann and Peter spent the first night of their Journey In Albany, arriving there in the early dusk. Peter had talked very little, but he sat close to Ann, and when the train rocked on the rough road bed, or swung around a curve, he swayed llngerlngty against her; she could feel his reluctance as he drew away. "When I think that Tve got you, In spite of everything, I think I must be mad, and having hallucinations r he confided to her, and she laughed, tangible and desirable, Into his ardent face. Albany was In the throes of a great Sanitary commission benefit which all of upper New York was, apparently, attending. The bride and groom went from hotel to hotel in vain; every one was full. The best thing they could do waa to prevail upon a kindly, middle-aged woman to allow Ann to share her room, while Peter bunked on two chairs in the office. The young people bade each other a rue* ' " u r e w e l l a t the foot of the r .»ut "they~Taughed, tod7Tor~IF »»• * a funny way to spend a wedding night. There were several suspicious-looking young pairs standing about the station when they arrived, and Ann and Peter lost something of their horrid self-consciousness, in suspecting them. TJbey drove up to the hotel In the bue*lhat had met the train, in the company of two other blushing couples. MIf yoa look at them long enough," Ann whispered to Peter, "you can make them think we are old married people!" But Peter whispered back. T i n glad we're not! Aren't you?" Early tbe next morning, after a gay and sparkling breakfast, they continued their journey. Ann had never seen Niagara Tails, and when Peter voiced ber secret desire to visit this paradise of honeymooners, and suggested they break their Journey there, she acquiesced with shining eyes, The hotel seemed most magnificent, ss they approached it over the curring drive that led to Its high front steps. Peter delayed for some time at the desk, talking prices with s supercilious clerk. Their room, whan they Anally reached It, waa very small- Ann had aarer lodged so humbly before— bot tta window opened aa a gardan la the rear of the betel aad there until wa aad a ataea of oar owm hr i waa, after all, a placa far the bags, It wt and stood carpet. her dusty Journey, Ann had wanted ta wash, but In her suspense as to what Peter would now dp, she forgot ail I about it. Spe forgot all about every* thing except Peter, and she looked at him slyly, under her lashes. He stood quite still for a moment, stocky and rather lowering, because of his self* consciousness. Feeling: Ann's eyes oa, him he threw her an elaborately cas» al glance, and crossed the room to the window, which he lifted, with gaeat pains and care, exactly two Inches, Ann smiled, suddenly mistress of the situation, now that she knew Peter was as nervous as she. "You'll want to freshen up," he sug* gested with specious ease, "and rest a bit, before supper. I'll go out and take a look around. You can get a good sleep." Ann flashed a radiant look at him. "I am tired," she admitted. "Well, then—goodby." Peter made toward the door, and paused. Ann's heart missed a beat, as he came slowly toward her. "Don't forget me," ha said, and took her In his arms, gently enough, but closely. Ann's startled eyes fell before the ardent look In hla, and he kissed her lids, laughing softly as he did so. They stood for an instant, smiling vaguely, and then Peter'a grasp tightened, and for the first time he sought her lips. She abandoned herself to his kiss, clinging weakly to him, without definite thought; aha was In a whirl of emotion. It seemed a long time before Peter drew back. "I'm off," he said thickly, and waa gone without another look. Ann bathed, and lay down on tha bed; she thought that she could not sleep. . . . Peter. . . . How strange that she should have married him. . . . Peter. . . . He waa not handsome, but .he had a look of strength. . . . He had a sudden smile, too. . . . Peter. . . . She awoke In a panic lest he should have returned. She put on a brown silk dress that she had brought in her bag. It went very well with her red hair, she decided, ss she fastened the crisp white collar with a cameo brooch Mr. Cortlandt had given her on her eighteenth birthday, gha was a smart and appealing figure, as ahe descended the wide stairway that led to the office; when Peter saw her a light leapt Into his eyes. They went In to supper at once, half starved after their Journey, and a luncheon snatched while the train waited at a station eating-house. They laughed often, as they ate, and their eyes were very bright and shining. After supper they walked over tm the Falls. It was rather dark on tha path, and Peter held her hand vary tight, but when they came out on tha platform beside the Falls the air waa all a filmy whiteness, reflected from the foam. Very near them, only a few yards away, Niagara tumbled head* long. Ann looked at It with terror; aha wondered what would happen to her If she were flung on that resistless torrent. As though he had read her thought, Peter slipped his arm through hers. "Don't go too near." he cautioned quietly. Ann abandoned herself to that safe clasp. . . . Peter. . . . Good ol4 Peter. . . , She smiled at h l a mistily In the wan light of the foam. They stood there for some tlme\ linked by the clasp of Peter'a h a n d | they told each other that they fell very small and unimportant, but they each knew better. Niagara rolled oa majestically before them, but they, tota* had. something majestic In their Uvea. . . . After a while they did noC speak at all; they only stood and Ua* tened, and felt the world trembtat they, *too. trembled, sensitively, Then, after a silence, Ann had a 1 Ilng that Peter wanted her to suggest going back to the hotel; therefore aba did so, although she felt herself flushing, In the night. On the dart paths he was distant with her; ha waa very gentle, very reassuring, and back in the blazing hotel office, ha smiled at her, the sudden quick amlla that she liked. He sent her upstair* alone, murmuring that he would follow her In a few momenta. She undressed with lightning quids* | ness, and soon ahe was array thick cambric nightgown, with prim ruffle of French embroidery the slim column of her throat. braided her hair in two shining plait The bed was ready; she crept into 1^ and lay along the far side, against tha wall. It seemed a long time that aha waited, but at last she beard footstena coming down the hall. She conld maki out the slightly uneven sooner of Pa> ter's gait There came a little knock at the door, tremulous and apologatkt and all unbidden, a thoaght l a s h a i through Ann's mind.

When necessary minerals arc prrsont in irmufficiont quantities, several undesirable conditions niny ;in>(\ Small bones, sjirend toes, sagged backs, weak pasterns, rough cout.s, sl<m growth, pot Txillips, perverted appetites, hairless pigs, dead litters, runts ;it:<l various undesirable conditions are traceable directly to an inadequate mineral supply. ^ What GROBONE Contains. Calcium, phosphorous, sodium, chlorine, iodine. J u s t these necessary minerals, and no more, are supplied in GROBONE; these ingredients arc all true feeds. Wh*t4t h a * * e e a proved GROBONE wfll do. Supply the brood sow ^ i t h the calcium and phosphorous necessary for the formation of stronger litters. Increase t h e milk flow and make milk richer in bone and body building elements. Increases size of bone, shortens feeding period, making your g r u n feed more effective. Satisfies craving which makes hogs root and cat their young. I t takes the hasard o u t y the hog business and adds t o your profits. MOR-MILK-For Cattle • MOR-MHK minerals. Milk is nature's complete food. Minerals are necessary for complete nutrition. Lack of minerals limits production, according t o tests carried on by t h e United States Deportment of Agriculture. Grain feeds very deficient in minerals. Many case* of abortion and premature birth of calves can be traced t o an inadequate mineral supply. Goiter, t h a t dread disease, is due to the lack of iodine in rations. Ton cannot afford not to feed MOR-MILK minerals. I t means greater production, longer lactation, strong calves, larger cows, healthier herds and Digger profits. Dixon Cereal and Feed Ga,. Dixon, HL FOR SALS BY W. M.

N ,1 THE UNIVERSAL CAR Forecasting A Tremendous Spring Demand 739,626 more Ford cars and trucks were produced last year than t h e previous year, an increase of over 50 per cent la spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was imouwible to meet delivery requirements during the sprint and summer months when orders for 350.000 Ford Cars and Trucks could not be filled. This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been more active than ever before—and in addition 200000 orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan for spring delivery. These facts dearly indicate that the demand during this spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.

(Preferred by th« United 8l*tee Department of Agriculture-) To aaalst American farmers In organising their butfineas to meet the changed economic condition* of present- day agriculture, new tonus of ugrlculturul information have been developed, and fundamental studies in farm urbanisation, marketing and crop estimates have been expended by the bureau of agricultural economics during the past year, according to the annual report of the bureau. MIn the period of agricultural readjustment experienced during the L-iaat year, it was important for fanners to secure the facts bearing upon currents problems thut would give them the greatest aid In making accurate 'lecisions in planning farm operations und in marketing their products," says the report. ' T h e tirst attention of the bureau stuff has been directed constantly toward these problems in response to the greatly increased demands upon the bureau tor information on the general conditions of supply tind demand, price trends, the effeA of various domestic and foreign factors upon the farmer's returns, and for information bearing upon problems of crop readjustment." Live Stock Surveys Help. Special effort was made to strengthen present crop and live stock reporting methods, and to supplement these methods by surveys designed to give a more accurate knowledge of future supplies. The semi-annuul pig surveys which give an indication of intentions of farmers regnrdlng the production of hogs, and the reports of fanners' intentions to plant various crops are outlined as Indicating the bureau's activities along this line. Numerous mechanical und other methods have also been developed to obtain maximum accuracy In acreage and production estimates. A world-wide crop and market reporting service was developed by the bureau, to obtain the essential facts concerning probable foreign competition and demand for American farm products. Agricultural commissioners In England nnd Europe, and the International Institute of Agriculture at Home keep the bureau constantly Informed, regarding the current foreign agricultural situation. This news is broadcast by the bureau to farmers by radio and the press. A study of the factors that Influence the market demand In domestic markets, as expressed in the prices and movement of crops and In consumers' requirements was made. Results of several years of farm management surveys were reviewed to secure facts of value In the present agricultural readjustment, the objective being shifted Bomewhnt from studies with the historical point of view to the current readjustment point of view. A steady growth In the bureau's wnrk In warehousing, Improved farm finance and In the study of agricultural co-opernt!<>n Is required. The correlation of various research projects conducted by state and federal Institutions such as In the establishment of the New England research council on marketing and food supply Is also regarded sis a forward step. A similar council has been planned for the Middle West. Market News Service. The murket activities of the bureau have been extended along the lines of research, standardization, market n.iwg, and fond products inspection at shipping points nnd terminal markets. Crudes were prepared for hay, wool, tobacco, rice, rye, peanuts, dressed meats, nnd a number of fruits and vegetables. Kurni management studies were expanded during the year to Include studies of farm Income on various types of farms, farm production In localities adjacent to cities, the organization of cane sugar farms,'a special survey of cotton farms In boll weevil districts, studies of the earlier farm management records, surveys of regions on which studies have been made in previous years to discover Important changes In maniElement. Cost of production work was expMnded to include wheat, cotton, tobacco, fruits, sugar beets, sugar cane, and cattle. This extended service to farmers was made possible largely by the consolidation of three former bureaus Into what is now the bureau of agricultural economics. In the new bureau the identity and the organization of the various lines of work formerly handled In the three bureaus "ins been preserved in the associated divisions under the three groups of production, marketing, and problems dealing with the economic phases of both production and marketing. Rotted Manure Excellent Fertilizer for Cucumber Rotted manure is an excellent fertiliser for cucumber plants. The mixing of acid phosphate with manure Is to be advised. If added before the nitrogen hat a chance to escape it will hold the nitrogen la the manure. Acid phosphate contains gypsum and gypsum has this same power to hold the nitrogen, but acid phosphate Is more effective than Is gypsum alone and, of course, contributes valuable phosphorus. Add phosphate retards the fermentation of the manure. Add phosphate may be added either before or after composting, and in either case Is a valuable addition. Dairy Cows Must Be Fed Liberal Ration Hay, Silage and Grain Mixture Needed in Winter. (Trvptred by l»ie United State* Department of Agriculture).) If dairy cows are to be ted for profitable production they must receive a liberal ration at all seasons. In summer, pasture generally is depended upon, but often it must be supplemented by soiling crops or silage, and sometimes by concentrates as well. For winter feeding, the ration usually is composed of hay, silage, and a mixture of grains. In properly balancing the ration the grain mixture is compounded to fit the roughage with due consideration for cost, bulk, palutabllPy, and physiological effect upon the co*1. For best results, cows must be fed individually, salted regularly, and furnished with all the clean water they will drink. A few simple guides for feeding have been summarized by the dairymen of the I'nlted States Department of Agriculture as follows: (1) Under most circumstances the cow should be fed all the roughage that she will eat up clean, and the grain ration should be adjusted to the milk production. (12) A grain mixture should be fed in the proportion of one pound to each three pints or pounds of milk produced daily by the cow. except in the case of a cow producing a flow of forty pounds or more, when the ration may be one pound to each three and a half or four pounds of milk. An even better rule is one pound of grain each day for a pound of butterfat that the cow produces during the w»»ek. (3) Feed all the cow will respond to in milk production. When she begins to put on flesh, cut down the grain. Clutch-Holding Device Very Handy on Tractor The Scientific American In illustrating and describing a clutch holder, the invention of F. F. Wunder, Valley Falls, Kan., says: The Invention relates to devices which are adapted for attachment to a tractor to engage a clutch control Clutch-Holding Deviee for Tractor. lever of the tractor to releasably hold the latter In position to occasion the releasing of the driving connection between the engine of the tractor and the transmission thereof, without disengaging the gears of the transmission. A further object Is to provide a clutch holder which comprises but a single piece of resilient material. Start Egg-Plant Early in Spring Under Glass The egg-plant is a warm-weather plant as yet not acclimatized In the North. It should be started early, under glass. Plants should be "pricked off" when the second leaves appear, four Inches apart, In boxes, "Pricking off" means removing the plants from their crowded position In the hotbed and placing at some distance apart In boxes or In flower pots. The boxes should be kept in a coldframe and plenty of light and air should be admitted on warm, sunny days In order to harden the plants. After frost dan ger is past and the soil is well warmed the plants may be transplanted. Care must be taken to avoid the use of extremely rich soil or the plants are likely to keep up their growth until too Inte In the season to escape the early fall frosts. The seed should be sown about April 10. A temperature of 65 to 70 degrees should be maintained In the hotbed. Plants should be set about three feet apart each- way. A dozen plants are sufficient for the needs of a family. One ounce of seed will furnish 750 plants. Inefficient Production No Cure for Low Prices In discussing various aspects of farm product values, Professor J. I. Falconer, agricultural economist, Ohio State university says: "Inefficiency in production Is no cure for low prices. Experience and research have shown that farmers with high yields make greater profits than iheir neighbors with low yields. On high-priced land high yields are more economical to produce than low yields. If a reduction in output of a particular crop seems desirable. It would be better to reduce the acreage or, for individual farmers, to abandon the crop entirely than to reduce the yields." Dairymen Are in Favor . of Calves During Fall Dairymen have practically settled the question of having calves come spring or fall, in favor of the fall teason, because cows that freshen tn the fail always produce more milk and butterfat than those that freshen In the sprtng, and because there la more time to attend the cows daring the winter. Hence from January 1 to If area 1 is the moat favorable to breed. MARKETS u. a. BungAu of M A K K I T * Weehlnejtea, D.

Red Light Irresistible Lure for Insect Peels A means for combating the winged insect pests of tropical regions has been evolved, by means of which the flying hugs are lured Into a deadly bath of acid and either drowned or asphyxiated by the fumes. It was found that a red light served as an almost irresistible lure for the night-flyers. A red electric bulb, or a lantern wi|h a red globe, is placed near the vessel containing the ncld solution. As the pests fly to the light the fumes destroy them, even though they may not actually fall Into the bath.

By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—The situation In congress this winter reseui -les that in many of the legislative bodies of Europe. In the place of two well-outlined political parties striving for the mastery, there are really six or seven schools of thought represented lrf both houses, and each 1B striving for the domination of its own economic and legislative ideas. Party names this year seem to matter nothing. The old lines of demarcation between the Republicans and the Democrats for the present at least seem largely to have been wiped out. States rights and to a legs degree protection vs. free trade are In limbo. There are scores of Republicans who seem to feel legislatively Just as a score or two of Democrats feel. Then there are some Republicans so-called, and some Democrats, socalled, whose feelings* are alike and entirely different from those of other groups in all matters pertaining not only to ultimate legislation but to the means of securing it. Efforts at leadership in both houses and in both parties Is like the attempts at shepherding of the guardians of a flock of sheep of which the constituent members seem to be headstrong in their attempts to get through the fence on one side, to Jump into the river on a second, or possibly to tumble down a precipice on a third, while ignoring the side leading to the pasture of peace, concord and presumed plenty. Disturbing to the Leaders. Not long ago Secretary of Commerce Hoover wrote a letter to William Allen White touching on the danger of this tendency to coalition In congress between the parties and parts of parties. In his letter the secretary dwelt upon the similarity of conditions abroad and those In the congress of the United States at the present time. Mr. Hoover is not the only prominent one Jn official life who has called attention to the same thing. It Is known that the Democratic party leaders outside of congress are Immensely disturbed over the condition, fearing that It means damage to the party, and It also Is known that Republican national committeemen and others also are anxious over the possible outcome of the divisions In their party ranks in house and senate. Both Democratic and Republican politicians who are not In congress are asking themselves how really solid party endeavor can be stressed in convention platforms when the endeavors have been not of parties, but of fuctlons within parties. Each party organization is anxious to go before the people next summer with something constructive to present and with a record of construction, attempted at least, to prove that It is the Intention In the future to complete the plan and thereby to deserve the thanks of the voters. The Democrats have one legislative plan to lower taxes, the Republicans have another and certain factions In both parties have others. What Is going to come out of It nobody knows. Peace Plan and the Senate. In the senate the so-called irreconcilablea on International matters still are declaring openly that the Edward Bok peace plan has killed all chance that the Harding World court membership proposal can be enacted into law. The Irreconcilables go farther than this and say that the plan not only killed the World court plan, but has pnt the League of Nations, so far as American participation therein is concerned, on a mountain ledge that cannot be reached by the most enthusiastic scaler of peaks. Are these things that the Irreconcilables say true? Naturally enough they seemingly form their opinions on the subject of the future of the plan from the reception which it has received In partisan circles In Wash* Ington. Washington Is not the United 8tates, although congressmen seem to take It for granted that the voice of the cloakroom Is the voice of the country. A referendum is being taken on the Bok peace plan. Opponents of the League of Nations and anything pertaining thereto say that the referendum will result in dust-panning the plan. However, they probably will know better after a little thought. The seemingly saner thinkers here believe that the result of the referendum will be approval of the plan and yet they know that this wllf not and cannot make It certain that the country en masse gives its approval to the presented scheme to bring about peace. Opponents Lose Interest. The friends of a movement intended to make peace take up permanent lodging in the world are not deceiving themselves as to the effect of the pronouncement on the present plan which Is likely to come as the result of a referendum. They know, as well as opponents of the plan know, that the < people who are enthusiastic for snytbtag are the people who respond to tit* cell for voting. The opponents of anything touching the League of Nations* or at least those of them who are dntslde of the clrclos of political partisanship, here, to t considerable extent to* Interest In the matter. It la not etn*rt<*d that they will respond in jrreat numbers to the referendum apn ' •"'•.• result, therefore, narw-al-, ly, as even friends of the plan view It, will be un endorsement for the proposed Bok endeavor. This view of the case, the view of friends of the plun, Is given in order that the ordinary luymun espouBer of the proposal shall not take the result of the referendum too seriously. The proponents of the plan know well enough that the senate us at present constituted never will give endorsement to the plan after it has been put In resolution, bill or treaty form for submission to congress. The supporters of the plan here In Washington and who give voice on the subject, therefore, seemingly want It to be known that they have no great hope that congress will give its endorsement, no matter what the referendum may seem to show. Real Referendum at the Polls. So far as the Washington viewpoint Is concerned, It seems that the referendum on a World court and on a gradual approach to a direct way into the League of Nations, is to be held next summer and fall—that Is In the election. The feeling of the friends of a modified Woodrow Wilson plan seems to be that a change has come in the country since the election of 1920 and thai today there are hundreds of thousands of voters who, In a sort of despair because Europe cannot get straightened out any other way, now are willing that something shall be tried to bring order out of disorder, even if once they objected to the trial of anything that looked as If it might lead into the field of European troubles. It is not determined yet definitely whether the senators actually will endorse a resolution of Inquiry to determine whether or not the Bok peace plan competition was instituted for the purpose of coercing the senate of the United States. Of course everybody here knows that such an inquiry would prove nothing, and that the very suggestion of It is simply a mark of resentment that anybody should have the temerity to attempt to try to find out whether the American people are In favor of something which some of their representatives In the senate look on with hatred. It would be something of a blow to the self love of a goorl many senators If they should be made to know that the humble ones who seni them to the senate do not hold them to be Infallible because of their high place. Some days have passed since th<> Bok peuce plan was made public. Thf senate. In part, has done nothlng-'but attempt to pour contempt on Mr. Bok's pride of achievement. The wish, ot course, Is father to the thought that the plan will not amount to anything It Is held here as certain that It will take a referendum result of Nlngnra like power to move the irreconcilables from their place of antagonism. Patriots Vs. Yellow Student*. In round numbers there are 75,00(( officers of the Reserve corps of the United States. Probably ninety-five per cent of these officers served durlng the great war and by expressing their willingness to stay In the reserve they simply served notice thnt their patriotism Is of a kind which will make them willing to nerve ugain in case of their country's need. There is an organization called th* Reserve Officers' Association of the United States with headquarters in Washington, of which John Ross Delafield, brigadier general in the Reserve corps, is the president. This association, composed as It is of men wh" have served, nnd self-sacrlflcingly ar/ willing to serve again, is looking wltr dismay and disgust—disgust is th« word—on the action of a group ol several hundred delegates to a recent convention of an organization of stud ents of the United States who, after their convention was over, as a minor* Ity insisted that a meeting should be called later to discuss the question of whether or not the students ol America should pledge themselves to refuse In the future to aid In the prosecution of war, either directly or Indirectly. The members of the Reserve corps are civilians and not professional soldiers. They are in every walk ot life. Through the president of the association has gone a telegram ol protest to Dr. Joseph C. Bobbins, chairman of the recent convention of stu« dents, saying that those delegates to the convention who Insisted ""That » meeting should be called to discuss the question given above were guilty of treason to their country. Dsnouneed by Delafleld. Now It must not be understood that this convention of students which wan held recently endorsed the pies of many of the delegates that a pledge should be taken to refrain from an> act of helpfulness In a war In whicl their country might become engaged The main body of the delegates de cllned to consider the thing, but therwere- several hundred of them who over the protest of the convention* chairman, called a meeting to be hel< on Armistice Day, 1924, for the ex press purpose of discussing the que* tion given. It is known that vlrtuallv every one of the young men who de manded that this meeting be held is ot a mind to refuse any kind of aid te his country In the day of its possibleperil. In the telegram, signed by General Delafleld, to the chairman of the stu dents' convention this among other things is said: "I wish to state that every patriotic citizen condemns men or groups ol men who have pledged themselves not to join In the defense of their eooev try and Its people as guilty of treason and such men ere viewed with the contempt that Benedict Arnold face* not only in America, bo! also to Eop land where he died In «*'%" h i O B S M Ta» Ouny Chili 8» oo* Bftlftd Dreaalac Tonutoo* PtaeftpplM MlDoeMwl B*4PUtaS Cherries LofMtarrlM Bptsaob 8w«e* Belli* OntpeJalo* BttW«M Be&a* A t p t n c n Tip* Stork «a4 Betas Grape Fruit Heajta BUeedPaMfcM Com Fruit 8*1*4 White Oberri** Fe*» Beet* Yellow CUM Pwehw 8*1 moa Mil* Pre pared Mosfjd Onwjjd Plaa&pp* W u B w u Sweet Pee* OUT* Oil Permit Bauer fted BMpoerrle* •prtaote PvaipUn Food of Wheat Preeerree • w l y JUDO P M I Bod Kidney COCOA Thper roeacle Dssu tch rich, smooth delicious^ X ! fn GROCERS: If our ssletmen do not reach you, writs for owr special proposition on Monarch Dutch Process Cocoa, Farm House American Process Cocoa sad the world famous Monarch Coffee.

House Cheers the Democrats. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Lest someone should forget it, let it be said that In Washingtun "we always have politics with us." This Is the nutlonal headquarters for legislation; it is also the national headquarters for politics, and frequently the wheels of the political machinery whirl much faster than those of the legislative, , There are , plenty of lnuendoes, charges and things Intended to be real information, emanating day by day from the offices of the political chieftains. There are some things, bowever, which the spokesmen and the writers of either headquarters keep unto themselves. They never put out anything In speech or in writing which tends to show that there Is any division whatsoever on policies within, the party ranks. Naturally enough, no one gets anycies in the capital over the French invasion of the Ruhr valley with its possible and even probable consequences. The administration and the congress, party men and partisans, now know the worst and the beat of; the situation and, as most of them seemingly view It, the best is little* better than the worst There are all sorts of views of the European proceedings in Washington. One of them Is that nothing' can be done to avert troubles in the future which shall be worse than the troubles of the present except a revision; of the Versailles treaty, a revision in] which the United States slj&il have a? part. The Idea is to keep what good there la In the treaty and to throw out what is bad. There seems to be soma thought here that if a revision in the Interest of all nations should be attempted the United States would not refuse to be a participant in the proceedings. This suggestion of a revision of the Versailles pact with the United States as a participant, of course, is a good one or a bad one, according to the viewpoint. One trouble is that nothing of the kind can be attempted without the sanction of the senate, and possibly without the sanction of both the senate and the house, the necessity of a single or double sanctioning depending on what form the plan mlghj assume. It is hard to think of any ar* rangeraent which could secure the support of the Republican, Borah, on the one hand, and the Democrat, Reed, on the other hand, and of a good many other senators of both parties. Think Others Would Consent Of course If such a thing as the revision of the Versailles treaty is undertaken, the other nations must concur, thing from Republican headquarters but there still is a feeling in concerning the marked differences of j ^ g h ^ t o n ' t h a t the other natlonTwill opinion on legislation which exist be- | d o a r m n m g t h a t t h e United States tween the so-called progressives and j % v o u l d * U k e t o n a v e done short of an the so-called conservatives within the a c t u a J s u r r e n d e r of all their seeming halls of congress.^Neither does anyone get from IJeoiocratlc headquarters rights in the case.

It is probable that no partisanship can be discovered In the statement that fur five years the Unljed States has It Is perfectly true that In the ranks o e e n going to do something to help of Republicanism, as in tbe^fanks of . Europe, and for five years it has done Democracy, there are friends, of the! nothing.

Scheme of Harding Opponents. Just now it Is known that the leaders of one element of Republicanism are endeavoring to secure from the legislatures of six or seven states which are in session this winter the enactment of presidential primary legislation. It is said that this attempt Is being made by the Republicans w?ho are opposed to the renomination of President Harding and that they hope, through the delegate strength which they expect to get If the laws they want shall be enacted, to be a We the force which they can mustsT where to defeat the President!* nation. Representatives of the con type say that It is not at ell that the primaries would go toe thetr brethren seem to would go, and that therefore they look with equanimity upon the cbft; of law in the states which timet have not provided for DflmsrlSst presidential delegates. It also should be said that Repu an leaders In the house and senate, administration leaders, think that t can iron owt between now and J 1924, such wrinkles of difference there may bfe between them and beloved ones who disagree with th and that therefore all will be ha: nious In the national convention that, if seemingly he shall deserve President Rnrdlng will get his reno: nation without trouble. Nursing Factional Disputes. Dpmocmtlc leaders in Washln while they say nothing about di encea In their own party, are pa great attention to the differences the party of the opposition. It is present duty and apparently the pi ant duty of Democratic political he quarters to print and to dlstrib matter which calls attention to the vision of thought In the Republl party, and to accentuate It as much possible. Moreover, the Democrats saying and writing fine things ab the Republicans in congress who s Ingiy stand opposed to the admtnist tion's policies. The Republican headquarters, a while keeping well within hidhaj suggestion*of party troubles djT own, are accentuating those w' besetting the* Democrats, and toff/, are saying nice things about cfcrtaln Democratic senators who do not to be In entire accord with the lty Democratic endeavor.

A Republican President when he was a candidate for office suggested the beauty of an association of nations. Nothing has been done to for. ward such an association and the reason unquestionably has been the known opposition within the ranks of the Republican party In congress to anything of the kind. The Democrats were split on the Democratic plan and the Republicans more than intimated that they would be split on any approach to such plan which the present President might submit.

(?r«p*r*6 by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Many plantings of trees have turned out failures because of the selectlou of species unsuited either to the climate or to the soil. The best trees for planting on a home farm usually are those which grow well in similar soils in the region, according to the recommendation of forest specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, in Farmers' Bulletin 1123, "Growing and Planting Hardwood Seedlings on the Farm," recently published by the department. In determining what species of hardwood trees should be grown, the bulletin says, the object of growing the trees and their adaptability to the climate of the region should be kept In mind. As illustrations, the bulletin points out that box-elder is not a good tree to plant for timber; the yellow poplar, because of climatic conditions, cannot be grown successfully in the plains region of the central United States, and hardy eatalpa will not thrive In poor, sandy or heavy clay soils. Trees May Be Grouped. To a certain extent trees may b^e grouped as those most valuable for lumber, for posts and poles, for windbreaks, etc. Some of the varieties listed in the bulletin as suitable for lumber are: Ash, basswood, beech, birch, black cherry, cottonwood, cucumber, elm, hickory, sugar maple, red oak, white oak, red gum, sycamore, black walnut and yellow poplar. Varieties suitable for posts and poles are: Hardy eatalpa, coffee tree, red elm, eucalyptus, black locust, honey locust, Russian mulberry, oaks, osage orange and white willow. Varieties best suited for windbreaks are : Green ash, boxelder, cottonwood, eucalyptus, hackberry, silver maple, Russian mulberry, osage orange, Russian olive, white willow and yellow willow. A mixture of two or more kinds of trees in a plantation sometimes is de*»;«on in which to become established beslrable, says the bulletin. For best results, trees such as the cottonwood should be spaced widely, while others, such as black walnut and black locust, have such scant foliage that theli shade does not prevent the growth of a heavy sod. A mixed planting of cotton wood with either of the other two varieties mentioned will more completely utilize the ground, Increase th* yield and bring about a better foresl condition. Frequently, less expensive and less valuable varieties can be planted as fillers with trees that are tc make up the permanent planting Mixed plantings also are desirable as 8 orotectlon against diseases and insed attack." When chestnut and black locust, which are susceptible to such attacks, are planted among trees not sc liable to Injury of this kind, the lattei will provide a stand of trees if the former are killed. Utilizes Poorest Soil. Unless intended for windbreaks, plantations should be located on the poorest soil of the ^arm, that least suited to the production of agricultural crops. Odd corners cut off by streams or driveways and hillsides or poorly drained soil should be selected. In starting a grove, seedlings one or twe years old are preferable to seed oi cuttings. Nut trees, such as walhut, hickory and oak, develop a deep taproot and few lateral feeding roots during their first year. They cannot, therefore, be transplanted as success fully as other trees. The nuts or acorn* should be planted on the permanenl site. Sometimes It is advisable tc sprout the nuts before this planting 1; made. Cottonwood and willow plants tions are most easily started with cut tings—12 to 14-lnch sections taker from one or two-year-old twigs of liv Ing trees. Cuttings should be collectec during early winter and burled in moist sand in a cool place preparatory to planting In the spring. In general, early spring planting Is preferable to planting at any other season. As compared with fall planting, it has at least two distinct advantages —the stock has an entire growing seafore it Is subjected to the rigors of winter, and it is not in Immediate danger of being heaved out of the ground by alternate freezing and thawing.

Agents at Hyeres, southern France, have been almost constantly collecting: and shipping Insect parasites of the corn borer to America, where these have been assorted and reared, to be subsequently liberated In large numbers in the heavily Infested regions of New England. More than 500,000 specimens of a single species of parasite were liberated in this manner during the summer of 1922, and thousands of Individuals of several other kinds were also liberated in this region. The present plans of the bureau Include the continuation of this work, In order to insure, where possible, the establishment of all available beneficial insect enemies of the pest before it becomes widely distributed throughout the United States. With this in view, what promises to be successful steps have been taken to establish one species of these parasites on native corn borers in the South Atlantic and Gulf states and on the sugar cane borer In Louisiana so that this enemy may be present and ready to attack the pest In esse the European corn borer should spread to those regions. * •# "A Tale of Two tt Advantages of the "better lire" are graphically and h u n w ously set forth in a new animated cartoon, "A Tale of Two Bulls," now available from the United States Department of Agriculture. This film concerns the affairs of a farmer who has a scrub bull, and suffers financial loss accordingly. A visit to a neighbor who has a purebred bull convinces him that be is on the wrong track. He hastens home, dispatches the old scrub and gets a new bull. Newfound prosperity amply justifies his joining the better-sires movement, sponsored by the bureau of animal Industry.

Gives Selected Lists Success or failure in Michigan peach growing is often determined directly by the varieties which are gorwn, according to Prof, R. V,. Force, of the M. A. C. horticultural department, Kven when trees are grown on ideal sites and under the most favorable conditions, yields and returns are often disappointing if the varieties are not wisely chosen. Making selections from catalogue illustrations and descriptions is probably responsible for more errors in choice of varieties than any other factor, says Professor Loree. Many varieties are listed in nursery catalogues, and while all undoubtedly have some desirable qualities, many have serious faults which are often overlooked. Hardiness is an important factor to consider in making selections for Michigan growing because of the susceptibility of many varieties to injury x>y winter cold or late 'spring frosts. Quality, sire, color of fruit, season of ripening, v|gor, and productiveness should also be taken into account. A special list of varieties recommended as most desirable for growing in Michigan has been prepared by the M. A. C horticultural department. These have been selected with particular refences to hardiness and the ability of the trees to produce good crops of quality fruit wherever peaches can be grown. The varieties ate listed in order of their ripening season. For general commercial planting in th« state, the Elberta is the only variety recommended. For local markets Prolific, Rngle (Kngle'a Mammoth-, South Haven, Elberta, J. H. Hale, and Salway are named. The list for the home orchard includes: Dewey, Early Michigan, Kngle, Hill's Chili, Gold Drop and I^en^on Free.

The committee announced that there was no way for it to ascertain at this time just how many commodities are factors in the blockade, nor the tonnage involved In any single commodity, but other railroad men estimated thai somewhere In the jam there are between 600 and 800 cars o^anthracite and other.fuel, Including probably considerable coke, The blookade Is said by railroad men to be due to transportation delay, caused by scarcity of oars and locomotive power, to adverse weather conditions the last six weeks, and to the fact that Detroit now is more prosperous than it has been for years, and is using a larger tonnage of raw material than ever before. It was also said that although the railroads are carrying heavier tonnage than ever before in their history, there is more freight to move than ever before. MARKETS *U. S.

Leoni township farmer, suffered a broken neck and skull fractures when toss of earth caved in on him wh^le he was laying tiles several miles west of Leoni village. He was burled under five feet of earth. Other employes, aroused by the screams of a fellow worker, who escaped Schiller's fate, worked frantically to extricate the man.

Parle—In the nearly nine years since war was declared In 1914 the average age of mankind has fallen from 57 to 51, according to statistics compiled by the Danish professor Carl Fischer and read before the French Academy of Sciences. Not the war directly, but the fact that the war speeded up life is the cause for this, asserts Fischer. Accompany Soldier Husbands Withdrawn From Germany Policeman Shoots Rat. Hits Sen. Grafton, W.

But now the Idlers in the Hess house lobby did not exist. In time she found the door of Jhe intensely rose-colored reception room. There, In a fat, rose-colored chair, beside a cataract of lace curtain, sat Di, alone. Lulu entered. She had no Idea what to say. When Dl looked up, started up, frowned, Lulu felt as if she herself were the culprit. She said the first thing that occurred to her: '1 don't believe mamma'U Uke your taking her nice satchel." , "Welir said Di, exactly as if she had been at home, And superadded: "My goodness !n And then cried rudely: "What are you here fofT1 -- T o r you," said Lulu.

Lulu said, flushing: "I love you Just the same as If I was married happy. In a home," "Well, you arent!" cried Dl cruelly, "and I'm going to do just as I think best." Lulu thought this over, her look grave and sad. She tried to find something to say. "What* do people say to people," she wondered, "when It's like thisr "Getting married Is for your whole life," was all that came to her. "Tours wasn't," Di flashed at her. Lulu's color deepened, but there seemed to be no resentment Ln her. She must deal with this right—that was what her manner seemed to say. And how Should she deal? "Dl," she cried, "come back with me—and wait till mamma and papa get home." "That's likely. They say I'm not to be married till I'm twenty-one." "Well, but how young that is 1" "It is to you." "Dl! This Is wrong—It Is wrong," "There's nothing wrong about getting married—if you stay married." "Well, then it can't be wrong to let them know." "It Isn't. But they'd treat me wrong. They'd make me stay at home. And I won't stay at home—I won't stay there. They act as If I was ten years old." Abruptly in Lulu's face there came a light of understanding. "Why, Dl," she said, tdo you feel that way. too?" Dl missed this. She went on: 'Tni grown up. I feel Just as grown up as they do. And I'm not allowed to do a thing I feel. I want to be away—I will be away!" "I know about that part," Lulu snld. She now looked at Dl with attention. Was It possible that Dl was suffering In the air of that home as she herself Buffered? She had not thought of that. There Dl had seemed so young, so dependent, so—asquirrn. Here, by herself, waiting for Bobby, in the Hess house at Mlllton, Rhe was curiously adult Would she be adult If she were let alone? ••You don't know what It's like," Dl cried, "to be hushed up an laughed at and paid no attention to everything you say," "Don't I?" said Lulu. •Don't IT' She was breathing quickly and looktng at Dl.

"But is It h l m r "Tea. It Is," said DL "But" she added, "I know I could love almost anybody real nice that was n!ce*to me." And this she said, not in her own right, but either she had picked It up somewhere and adopted i t or, else the terrible modernity and honesty of her day somehow spoke through her, for Its own. But to. Lulu It was as tf something familiar turned Its face to be recognised. "Dl r she cried. "It's true. You ought to know that" She waited for s moment "You did It" she added. "Mamma said so."

When they had gone on, "What do you mean by my having to put up with you?" Dl asked sharply. "I mean I'm going to stay with you." Dl laughed scornfully—she was again the rebellious child. "I guess Bobby 11 have something to say about that" she said insolently. "They left you In my charge." "But I'm not a baby—the idea. Aunt Lulu r "I'm going to stay right with you," said Lulu. She wondered what she should do if Di suddenly marched away from her, through that bright lobby and Into the street She thought miserably that she must follow. And then her whole concern for the ethics of DI's course was lost In her agonised memory of her terrible, broken shoes. Di did not march away. She turned her back squarely upon Lulu, and looked out of the window. For her Sh« Turned Her Back Squarely Upon Lulu and Looked Out of the Window. life Lulu could think of nothing more to say. She was now feeling miserably on the defensive. They were sitting In silence when Bobby Larkln came Into the room. Dl flew to meet him. She assumed all the pretty agitations of her role, Ignored Lulu. «<Bobby! Is It all right?" Bobby looked over her head. "Miss Lulu," he said fatuously. "If it ain't Miss Lulu." He looked from her to Dl, and did not take In DI's resigned shrug. "Bobby," said Dl, "she's come to stop us getting married, but she can't Tve told her so." "She dont have to stop ns," quoth Bobby gloomily, "we're stopped." "What do you meanr Dl laid one hand flatly along her cheek, Instinctive In her melodrama. Bobby drew down his brows, set his hand on his leg, elbows out. "We're minors," said be, "Well, gracious, you dldnt have to tell them that" "No. They knew I was." " "But Silly! Why dldnt you tell them you're not?" "But I am." Dl stared.

"Well, then, come on to Balnhrldge," Dl cried, and rose. Lulu was thinking: "What shall I say? I dont know what to say. I don't know what I can say." Now she also rose, and laughed awkwardly. "I've told Di," she said to Bobby, "that wherever you two go, I'm going too. DI's folks left her ID my care, you know. So you'U have to take me along, I guess." She spoke In a manner of distinct apology. At this Bobby had no Idea what to reply. Be looked down miserably at the carpet His whole manner was a mute testimony to his participation In the eternal query: How did I get into It? "Bobby," said D4, "are you going to let her lead you homer This of course nettled him, but not in the manner on which Dl had counted. He said loudly: "rm not going to Bainbridge or Holt or any town and lie, to get you or any other girL" "Come on, Aunt Lulu," said Dl grandly. Bobby led the way through the lobby, Dl followed, and Lulu brought up the rear. She walked awkwardly, eyes down, her hands stiffly hjeld. Heads turned to look at her. They passed Into the street "You two go ahead," said Lulu, "so they won't think—" They did so, and she followed, and did not know where to look, and thought of her broken shoes. At the station, Bobby put them on the train and stepped back. He had, he said, something to see to there In Mlllton. Dl did not look at him. And Lulu's good-by spoke her genuine regret for all. "Aunt Lulu," said DL "you needn't think I'm going to sft with you. You look as If you were crasy. I'll sit back here." "All right, Di," said Lulu humbly. • • • • • ' :• • It was nearly six o'clock when they arrived at the Deacons'. Mrs. B«tt stood on the porch, her hands rolled In her apron. "Surprise for you!" she called brightly. Before they had reached the door, Ina bounded from the hall. "Darling!" She seised upon Dl, kissed her loudly, drew back from her, saw the traveling bag. "My new bag!" she cried. "Dl I What have you got that for?" In any embarrassment DI's Instinctive defense was hearty laughter. She now laughed heartily, kissed her mother again, and rnn up the stairs. Lulu slipped by her sister, and into the kitchen. Dwight had come home. Lulu could hear Ina pouring out to him the mysterious circumstance of the bag, could hear the exaggerated air of the casual with which he always received the excitement of another, and especially of his Ina, Then she heard Ina's feet padding up the stairs, and after that Di's shrill, nervous laughter. Lulu felt a pang of pity for Dl, ns lf^Bhe herself were about to face them. There was not time both to prepare supper and to change the blue cotton dress. In that dress Lulu was pouring water when Dwight entered the dining room. "Ah!" said he. "Our festive ball gown." She gave him her hand, with her peculiar sweetness of expression— almost as if she were sorry for him or were bidding him good-hy. "That shows who you dress for!" he cried. "You dress for me.

H E L P F U L HINTS No outsider can tell another how to manage her home, for each is Its own problem and if each h o u s e k e e p e r puts thought into the managing she will find new ways dally of lessening work and giving her more time for reading, recreation and rest There are today so many good tools with which to work, saving time and strength that may be within reach of many families who do not afford them but who worry along with poor ones until the mother Is broken down. The power washing machine, the mangle, vacuum cleaner, Light cooking utensils, dust mops and dishwashers that really work, are some of the needed things Iff the home where there are children and several grownups for which to provide. Thin cream, when needed for whl ping, may be thickened-by using onethird of a teaspoonful of vlscogen to each cupful of cream. Vlscogen Is a mixture of lime, sugar and water. To prepare It, dissolve five ounces of sugar in ten ounces of water. Pour six ounces of cold water over two ounces of quicklime, stir and strain. Combine the two liquids and shake occasionally during the next two hours. Allow the liquid to settle, then pour off the clear liquid and store In dark bottles, using glass stoppers. If exposed to the light and air it darkens and loses Its strength. To prevent the graining of chocolate In sauces, add the chocolate to a little hot wuter and then add, gradually, the sugar and the remainder of the liquid.

George M. Long of eii, democrat, of a bill to end rn^r's authority to veto acts of ,tute Administrative Board. The se which Rep. Long wishes, to strike out states, "In no case shall any order be issued under this act without the written approval of the Governor." Only 5 of the 100 members of the. House are democrats, however, and their plans do not appear to .be getting very far. The State-affairs committee of the House, to whom the bill was referred, has already—voted-not to report tlfe bill out, and it is generally conceded that the measure is "dead." Hasty and secret marriages would be prevented by the provisions of a hill introduced into thw House by Hep. Dykstra of Grand Rapids. The hill would require th«t the parties contemplating matrimony would 'first be required to secure a "declaration of intent to marry.'" This declaration would be filled out in detail with names, ages, residence, parents and occupations of the applicants and posted publicly by tin county clerk for '21 days and published weekly for three successive weeks in a local paper liefore the marriage license could be secured. The license must then be se service in the case of special meetings. It is el aimed the present method of serving personal notice of special meetings is expensive. Boviaa T. B. Considered The importance of the campaign for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis in Michigan was emphasized in the House on Thursday when three bills bearing on this subject were presented two *by Rep. Kugene Kirby of Covert, and one by Rep. John Holland of Bessemer. The first of Kirby's bills provides an emergency appropriation of $200,000 to be paid out of the general fund of the state to cover existing claims and finance the work for the rest of the fiscal year. In order to decrease the cost of the bovine tuberculosis eradication campaign and allow for carrying it out on a larger scale, the other Kirby bill slightly reduces the amount of state reward. The amended .section would read, "In case of tuberculous cattle, whenever the commissioner shall direct the killing of such cattle it shall bt duty of the Commissioner to appraise the animal or animals condemned and the owners thereof shall receive from the State a sum equal to one-third the difference between the appraised value of each animal so destroyed and the net value of the salvage thereof; provided that ?n no cose shall any payment by the state be more than $25 for any grade animal nor more than #50 for any registered purebred animal." This would be in addition to the federal award- The present maximums are $100 each for registered cattle and $35 for grades. The Kirby bill also would pave the way for county cooperation by authorising supervisors to name veterinaries to cooperate with the state commissioner of animal industry. Thirty-six Michigan counties have already made such provision. The Holland bill would .require the State to recompense the farmer for all condemned cattle at full appraised value. This would greatly increase the cost to the State and it is believed that the House Committee on Agriculture to whom it was referred, are not at* all favorable to it. Eastern Time Sought Kustern time twelve months a yeai would be established in Michigan by a bill introduced in the House by Rep Orvy Jlulett of Armada. A bill which would extend the power to suspend automobile drivers' licensesto magijjtj^rfes and judges and provide f o r ' f h c impounding of the cars of traffic law violators was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Geo. Condon of I)e troit. Under the present law, the pow er to suspend licenses rests snlely with the secretary of stnte and the court is only able to recommend that the li cense of an offender be suspended. 'Phe impounding feature of the bill gites the court the right to order the car driven by the violator to be stored for not less tlmn ten days, and not more than one year at the defcndentN :r--\ &r For the Next Ten Days We will sell the following articles: r*k 1 Lot of Pocket Knives at 58c 1 L<rf qfjocket JCnive* at 68c 1 Lot ofPocket Knives at 78c 1 Loire* Pocket Knives at 88c 1 Uk ii Pocket Knives at 1.38 IfcrtSafetr Razors 88c 1 Lot Alarm Clocks.- .-,1.28 1 ^ Mans and Boys Skates. 88c Pr.

One provision of the bill s t a t e s "Ileckieas driving, as referred to in this act, is defined as the operation of a motor vehicle on the public highways of this state in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any person, or the safety.of any property." Commercialised gambling in Michigan #will receive a i»evere jort if a lengthly and cou>prehensive bill introduced in the Sienate by Sen. Bahorski is passed. The bill declares any form of gambling to be a felony punishable by ¢¢00 fvne, six months imprisonment, or both. Making bets*or, pools and keeping gaming house^ are specifiically prohibited, while racing forms, betting tickets, und all other gaming devices are declared to be public nuisances. A two cent gas tax proposal was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Atwood of Newaygo. This bill is identical to that p^resentod in the House by Itep. Warner of Ypsilanti. Again "Why 1» a Pistol?" Public sentiment against the general use of pistols has culminated in the introduction of a stringent anti-pistol law by Sen. George Condon of Detroit. The bill defines a pistol as any firearm having a barrel eighteen inches or less in length, and would require every person to secure a license from a judge police chief or sheriff before he can carry a pistol except in his own home. It also requires all dealers in pistols to be licensed. Any person convicted of any crime will be liable to five or ten years extr:i sentence if it is proven that lie had a pistol in his possession when the crime was committed. This extra sentence would be doubled for a second offense. Another provision of the bill would make the fact that a man was found armed with a pistol prima facie evi(|enee/ that the man intended to commit the crime for which he is on trial. Under the terms of the bill, it is a felony fojr a dealer to sell a weapon to a minor or an unnaturalized alien. The railway union's pet project, the so-called "Full Crew" bill, has made its appearance In the Senate. It was introduced this year by Sen. Frank/L. Young of Lansing. Friends of the measure forecast that it will be enacted 1 into law without fail this session despite imy opposition the railroads may offer. The Young bill provides a .minimum of ti men for freight trains of 50 cars or over, 5 men for shorter ^freight trains, 5 men for passenger, express or mail trains of five or more cars, 4 men for such trains of shorter length, and 5 men for yard crews. Two more rnilroad_ bills appeared in the Senate during the week. Uoth were introduced by Gen. Augustus Gansser of Bay City. One requires railroad companies to equip their engines with automatic firebox doors and the other requires that automatic bell-ringers be" installed <>n^ll locomotives. A decrease in the University of Michigan mill tax from three-fifths to threeejghts of a mill was proposed by Rep.

Old Friends Appear The "Port District" constitutional amendment which was defeated at the general election last November Wjis revived when Ucp. Pacey of Detroit introduced a similar constiutional amendment in the House. This amendment is of especial interest because of the probable construction of tl^e proposed St. Lawrence waterways improvement. Its companion measure the so-cAlled "Excess Condemnation" constitutional amendment, also defeated last November, was presented to the House by Rep. Culver of Detroit, The much-heralded Ku Klux Klan investigation resolution of Rep. James Burns, the twenty-three year old boy law-maker of Detroit, was presented to the House on Wednesday and promptly referred to the rules and joint rules committee where it will probably find « peaceful pigeon hole.

Buhl, president of the Buhl Sons Hardware Co. of Detroit, bought the Murphy farm near Patterson lake and with Erik B. Dons installed a home for pedigreed (logs. Mr. Do us is superintendent of about forty thousand acres owned by -Mr. Buhl. The properties are in Michigan, Canada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New York and the South. Mr. Dons is from Denmark, where he was a breeder and traii|-r of hunting dogs on his father's estate, a property of about 4000 acres. Three years ago he came to the Unit:•<.{ States, bringing with him some inter national champions, which have been shown at various bench shows in \hia country and always proved winners. Mr. Dons expects to leave for the New York bench show this week and * ill take some of his dojjs to the big show. Spiron, an English setter, is an international champion with u rernarkaMe history, lie is champion in both beneh shows and field trials in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium England and United States, lie has won -~>2 sterling silver cups and trophies. Spiron has & son now owned hy t i e King of Danmark and a daughter who helps furnish sport fur the King of Norway. w Mr. Dons has a daughter of Spiron at the Arbu Kennels, Pinckney, named Tullu. Jagerhem, also •in International champion. She was imported to this country last summer from Denmark, is now chumpion of Sweden and U. S She has never been defeated in competition. In Denmark, Norway and at the World Exhibition in Sweden, lfVJ'.i, was was admitted to be the best look ing female of her breed and won four silver cups. .Since she has been in tin United States she has won seven silver cups. Another dog of which the owners af the Arbu Kennels are justly proud is Per Og Skogsbro, a black pointer. He has not yet been shown in this count'•> but in Denmark, Sweden and Norway he has won 15 cups in competition with the best dogs in his class in field trials and on the bench. Prominent sportsmen in this country have highly praised his work in the field and they are of the opinion that he is the best field trial dog in this country, Mr. Dons takes pardonable pride in having bred, trained and owned his remarkable dogs, which he own!' and handles for pleasure alone, not as i business enterprise.

It Is IS miles long and has ax 11-foot bore. TKAVULING on a limited train recently, I went Into rhe diner for lunch. The conductor seuted me ut a ; small table, opposite a well-dressed, i intelligent-looking man of ubout thirty- five. After giving my order, 1 sat looking around idlj. My tuble companion wttti intently reading a newspaper. Suddenly the wk v.ole right side of his face was contracted In a spasm, i Watching him closely, I suw thut about every three minutes the muscles of his face jerked, drawing his mouth, cheek und eye into a grotesque grin. A middle-aged man, sitting across the aisle, also observed 'this peculiar performance. Following me Into the smoking room after lunch, he said: "I see you were watching that man across the table from you. What do you suppose 1» the matter with him?" 1 said: "He has a t i c " "Well, I'll be darned," he said, "I knew ticks gave cattle fever but I never beard that ticks made a man make faces." Tics are not insects. They are habit spasms. They are hub[tual, purposeless muscular acts whLm the person afflicted with them Indulges in, regularly and often unconsciously. The name comes from the German ticken, because the spasm comes with such clock-like regularity. You have all known persons with tics. Perhaps you have one yourself. , borne are spasms of the face, twitch- i Ing of the nose, Jerking of the corners of the mouth, winking or squinting of the eyes, frowning or raising the eyebrows. Other facial tics are snuffing, ' making sucking or blowing noises with the lips, whistling, chuckling or '. crowing. ,Some people have so gotten into the habit that they are unable to , begin any sentence without making ; some peculiar noise. Jerking or shaking the head, grinding the teeth and biting the lips belong in the same group. The tic may take the form of shrugging the shoulders, scratching or stroking some part of the face with the hands or fingers. One well known and brilliant actor shows in all his pictures, no matter in what part, a characteristic motion of touching his mustache with the knuckle of his right Index finger. Some persons, In walking, must always step on n crock In the pavement, ' others will n» curefuMy. avoid it. Stammering and stuttering are tics of I speech. So is the habit of beginning every sentence with "I say." "Listen," , "Look here" and other exclamations. Tics are personal, habitual peculiar- i Itles. They are the results of habits >' formed usually in early child hood. sometimes through mimicking sum > older person. They are most common- ! ly found in nervous high-strung persons. In adult life they nre practically incurable. Proper training nnd the development of self-control in children will prevent their being hampered by these strange, useless, and often ridiculous habit spasms in later years. The poultry house is both the home of the hen und the factory where winter eggs are produced, and unless it provides suitable living alKl working conditions the hen cannot be expected to lay wejl. To be comfortable the house must be dry, well ventilated, well lighted and have sufficient floor space to provide exercise by scratching. Dryness is Insured by having a good roof, keeping the floor of the house higher than the surrounding ground, and by providing good ventilation. Ventilation must supply plenty of fresh air without drafts. This Is secured by having the south side relatively open and the other three sides absolutely tight. The Importance of light In the poultry house has not been properly emphasized in the jmst. Recent experiments with artificial lights show thut by furnishing more light so that the working period for the birds Is lengthened the egg production can be materially increased. In many farm poultry houses no windows are provided and the hpuse Is in constant twilight on cloudy days even when the door is left open, Needless *lo say, this condition does not favor activity on the part of the hen. To insure good natural light in a poultry house the openings in the walls should equal about one-fourth of the floor space of the house. At least half of these openings should be for open-front ventilation, and.the windows should be so arranged that the maximum amount of sunlight will be available to the birds. Wherever possible windows should be placed in the east and west ends of the building so that the early morning and late afternoon light will be secured. To insure room for scratching not only must sufficient floor space be provided but the droppings must be kept off the floor and a deep litter of straw or similar material be supplied so that the birds can be made to scratch for their feed. To keep the droppings off the floor every poultry house should be provided with a droppings platform arranged underneath the roosts to catch the manure. WHAT CAUSES GALL STONES? Dried Buttermilk Found Profitable for Poultry At the Indiana experiment station several tests have also been made with dried buttermilk for laying hens. In one of its bulletins on this subject. A. C. Phillips, who conducted the test? in which dried buttermilk WHI compared with liquid buttermilk, says: "The Income from the liquid buttermilk- fed pen was $7.13; from the dried buttermilk-fed pen, $8.21 ; and from the no-milk-fed pen, $2.39." Stating the same facts in different words, Mr. Phillips continues: "The profit over feed cost from the liquid buttermilkfed pen was $4.!rj ; from the dried buttermilk- fed pen, $ri.H9: and from the no-milk-fed pen, 78 cents." Thus we see that the pen fed dried hultermilk as a protein carrier, made the largest profit per bird p^r year. The pen that received no milk of any kind netted less than $1 per hen per year. In addition to setting mo ft? eggs from the dried buttermilk than from the liquid buttermilk, that Institution also obtained greater hatrhahlllty in the eggs from The dried buttermilk pen than from the one fed liquid buttermilk.

They are ubout three times as common In women as in men. They are most frequently found between tifty and sixty. (Gallstones nre found in the gallbladder, a pear-shaped sac which is the overtiow tank of the liver. In it the surplus bile, secreted by the liver, is stored until It is needed. If the lining of this tank becomes irritated and the bile in (he tank becomes too thick. Then the mucus .secreted by the inllnmed membrane unites with the thickened bile to form solid masses. It is claimed by sumo physiologists that the starting point of a gallstone Is always a hunch of germs which have gotten into the gallbladder, started an inflammation of the lining nnd then become the (>enter around which' the gallstone forms. Some gallstones a re • soft, other* are hard, home are very small, no larger than a plnhead, others may l>e so large as to rill the whole gallbladder. When a pi list one starts it grows like a snowball, but in layers. Tf n number start about the same time and grow with equal rapidity, they are squeezed on each other by the elastic pressure of the gallbladder and so have facets or sides. Does the Infection and Inflammation of the gallbladder cause the gallstones or do the scratching nnd Irritation of the gadstones cause the Inflammation? Which existed first, the fnwl or the Gallstones themselves do no harm. Probably every one past forty *has one or more and never knows it. Tt Isonly when they bpcome too large or too numerous or when they try to get out threiifch the dnct or canal Into the small /intestine that they cause pain, or by 4>HigJring up the canal and so preventing the flow of idle, they cause Jaundice.

Famous Forte in U. S. History By ELMO SCOTT WATSON *JC SI ((c). H'ib. Wactarn Newspaper Union.) The Fort That Figured in a Scandal Neither the Belknap or Teapot-Dome j mcidents are the only cases of scandal ; In the President's cabinet, for in 1858 Secretary of War John B. Floyd was under tire for bis connection with the sale of Fort Snelling, Minn., to Franklin Steele for $90,000. The usual congressional investigation followed and eventually the federal authorities recovered possession of the post. The history of Fort Snelling dates frum 1805 when Lieut. Zebulon Pike purchased from the Sioux Indians a tract of 100,000 acres, valued at $200,- (XX), at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. Pike must have been a shrewd bargainer for he got it for $200 worth of presents and 60 gallons of whisky I The War of 1812 delayed establishing a military post there until 1819 when Col. Henry Leavenworth with the Fifth Infantry began building Fort St. Anthony which in 1824 was renamed Fort Snelling by Gen. WTnfleld Scott In honor of CoL Josiah Snelling. Leavenworth's successor. Fort Snelling had a long list of commandants who later became prominent. among them Zaehary Taylor, the "Old Rough and Ready" of the Mexican war and President of the United States; W. T. Magruder and C. F. Smith, Civil war generals, and E. R. S. Canby, the "martyr of the Lava Beds" In the Modoc war of 1872-73. The famous Dred Scott case is also connected with Fort Snelling for Dred Scott was the slave of Poet Surgeon Emerson at Snelling and Scott was married to a negro girl there In 1836. By 1840 Fort Snelling was an important place because it was the extreme northern outpost in the march I of civilization into the great Northwest. There thousands of Indians gathered to trade—and also to fight, for the ancient feud between the Sioux und Chippewas repeatedly blazed out Into war. In the Civil war it was the rendezvous for Minnesota troops and It was the center of activity during the terrible Sioux outbreak of 1863. Snelling was also the scene of n training camp during the World war, and it Is now one of the Important military posts maintained by the War department. Not far from the field | where St. Paul society today parks its 1 automobiles to watch the officers from the post play polo, there stands an old i \lne-covered stone tower, the only 1 relic of the Fort Snelllng'of pioneer days and an interesting symbol of contrast between the old and new. What kind of rubb is built into your overshoes ? THERE are a good many kinds of rubber—but the kind you want in your all-rubber overshoes or boots is tough, live rubber—the kind that can stand bending and wrinkling thousands of times a day without cracking or breaking. That's the kind of rubber that goes into every pair of "U.S." Walrus and Boots. Cut a strip qf rubber from a "U.S." Walrus or Boot and you'd find it would stretch more than 5 times its length—without breaking 1 Layer on layer of strong fabric reinforcements are anchored in this rubber—the strongest reinforcements ever put into an all-rubber ovei-shoe or boot.

Tats will mean fewer dirty When Kenneth McKenzio, the stern old Scotchman who later was known as the "King of the Missouri," was put In charge of the American Fur company's business on the upper Missouri In 1828, he built a fort at the Junction of the Yellowstone and the Missouri In the extreme western part of the present state of North Dakota. At first tills was known as Fort Floyd. but McKenzle changed that name to Fort Union because he Intended to make It the center of both mountain and river fur trade. Fort I'nion is said to have been the best built post on the Missouri, and with the possible exception of Bent's fort on the Arkansas, the best In the entire West. Here the "king" reigned over his turbulent subjects, both white and red, and for the next quarter of a century Fort Union retained its Importance, which was not true of many of the fur trading posts built during that era. But the end came In 1884 when a steamer, sent by Smith. Hubbell and Hawley, who had bonght out the American Fur company, appeared at Fort Union to transfer Its goods to Fort Benton In Montana. In the words of one historian, "when that steftmer backed awny from the landing, leaving the stout walls of old Fort Union to crumble Into dust, she bad tttrned the last leaf on the closing chapter of an epoch which for thrilling romance has seldom been equalled In the history of the continent. Fort Union had been the great* est of the Indian trading posts within the boundaries of the United States.

Ferronnlere (iron- Plaits Cleverly Illustrated in Morning Frock of Blue Kasha. work) silks are the conspicuous novelty, in pattern and weave as well as in name. They are the creation of Edgar Brandt, a Frenchman, who has adapted to the printing of silk the designs we see in ornamentul iron work, fire-screens, gates, the doors and windows o; the old cuthedrals in France. Among the distinguished examples of hi* artistry is the iron s.ork of tde stairways in the Louvre. The French government commissioned M. Brandt to do the ornamental iron setting of the tomb of the unknown soldier. In those designs the motifs are scrolls, figures and geometric patterns. They are worked Into a flut surface ornamentation with surprising symmetry and [importIon, and are printed nn crepe and silk In the very newest colors. Apart from tliese unique ferrontiiere prints, there nre many new and altogether delightful designs, l'olka dors are to have a vogue. Not the evenly spaced, uniform size dois with which we are famftlur, hut many ciever variants. Some dots are oblong, printed it equal distances, and others, oval in shape, are clustered according to size Dots of every size nre to he fashionable, the round dot the size of a dime or smaller, evenly arranged, being an especial favorite. -* A novelty Is a silk that has dots of two sizes, one quite small at one side of the r.ilk width, graduating to large dots across the width to the edge. In making up the silk or crepe thus printed It Is used with the width for length, and is shown by the importers in gay scarlet dots printed on white, In blue, brown and green on white. Blue and white—that clear, always smart combination of navy blue and white— is to be especially modish this season, first for the utility day-time frock, and later It wiil undoubtedly be in demand for summer. Floral Pattern Novelty. A conventionalized pattern is nnother among the novelties that Is being very well received and is shown In some of the models from the most exclusive Paris bouses. Small flowers and figures are most popular. Those in the new colors, orange, red, blue and green, printed on white crepe, have an indescribably dainty Dresden effect. One of these small flowered patterns Is treated In a nnlque fashion, the border Idea being the general scheme. That half of the width which win make up the bottom of the skirt of tunic has a background of dark blue with fine lines of white running diagonally at inch-wide Interval*, On this area is stumped the little Work flowers of red brown and mauve, with green leaves. On the other half of the silk width, the background of which is corn yellow, is printed the same pattern of conventionalised flowers. The new scheme of colon, distinctly Spanish, ta harmonies of red, yeHow and brown, la shown in some of the beat feironnlere prists. On* that Is - -- • smart una a*grosmd of Ivory crepe, on which the scroll pattern It printed In u red Drown that 'lie French call "burnt bread." At the very edge of tills all-over design is a three-inch border of delicate fretwork stumped In gray and black. On another white Crepe roman a large diagonal diamond pattern Is formed with narrow stripes in IuUice work of black and blue. A distinctive feature of the season's materials is the plain ribbed silks. These are shown in the crepe satin, crepe roman, bengaline and a pretty new variety, called foille de sole, similar to radium. All of these new silks and the different crepes are artistic and charming in themselves. As they are presented in the late models they are delightful, especially in the new combinations of plain and figured materials. All o f ' t h e prominent couturiers in I'urls have designed an assortment of *'se silk frocks seen at the southern >orts. One creator of advanced .deas Is Goupy, whose models are shown in an ultra-exclusive shop, his fuvorlte scheme being the two-piece frock. Usually the skirt or the slip is made of plain crepe or a crepe in plain color with printed border, plaited very floe. The blouse, which is a straight or belted affair, is done la one of the printed crepes. A variant of this model has a skirt of the patterned crepe roman in a small floral design, the overblouse, almost knee length, being of plain goods piped with a color to accentuate one note in the skirt. Woolens Copy Ribbed Silk. The togs that are required to make a proper appearance on out-of-doors occasions at the southern resorts are quite as engaging as this season's more elaborate dress. Some of the lightweight woolens appear to copy the ribbed silks, and the finer varieties of ilannel are grateful in feeling and exceedingly smart. These ore presented In models of two sorts. One is the modish sports suit, tirut is showy and gay, extravagant and picturesque in its scheme of decoration in lighter weight and colors, though less athletic In character, of the suits that one sees at the winter sports resorts- Then, again, white Is now, as always. the predominating note of the southern Riviera wardrobe, and much red appears. Suit after suit in light woven wool is mude of white, with pipings, bindings or narrow borders of scarlet One of the smartest ensembles seeo lately was designed for I'alm Beach, of pearl gray wool bengaline with an inch-wide binding of red silk and coat lining in the same shade. A tiny gray felt hat in the new soft cloche shape had a hand of gray grosgraln ribbon (ibout the crown, tied in a bow toward the back at one side. The frocks and suits of 'attractive combinations are exceedingly modish ;it the moment, hut there is In many r Whits Satin Shaath Gown. Singlt Flower Suggests Waistline. of the late models a decided tendency to simplicity. Some of the newest things are self •trimmed, of one color from collar to bem. Attention to Evening Dress. If it Is possible to specify one kind of dress that will prevail at the resorts it should be the two-piece frock, and the one indispensable garment, the tunic blouse. Much will be seen of these all through the summer, after the establishing of their vogue by the chic women who wear them In the South. Of the French authorities on drew who have done particularly attractive things suitable for southern wear If Jean Patou, who gives especial attention to evening dress. His favorite] material is always something of the nature of saanqaisette, which is ex-j ceedingty popular this season, He eats his skirts circular In shape and usee lightly bands of silver or crystal ] and often a garniture of flowers.

Their delicious flavor stimulates and refreshes the appetite and their color adds to any dish or table. For the first course an orunge cup, filled with diced orange, a bit of grapefruit, seeded and ]>eeled grapes and rind-flavored sugar sirup, Is especially well liked. Although the orange is delicately acid, it has an alkaline reaction which makes it especially valuable in counteracting foods that produce acids. As a dessert, oranges make an excellent sweet course, containing sugar which is partially digested. After an elaborate and heavy dinner a light, easily digested dessert Is a necessity. Oranga Mint Cup.—Tuke one cupful each of diced grapefruit pulp, orange pulp and pineapple. Mix and sprinkle with a little sugar and lemon juice—or better a lemon sirup, made by cooking sugar, lemon juice and rind with a little water. Chill and fill halves of oranges, set into sherbet cups, or simply fill the glasses with the fruit mixture. At the last moment sprinkle with finely minced mint and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint In the center of the glass. Orange Meringues.— Separate Into sections four oranges, without breaking the membrane. Muke a sirup of one-hulf cupful each of lemon Juice, water and any canned fruit Juice, boiling five minute*. Add the oranges, cover and cool. This is compote and rimy be served just as It is. Place these sirup-covered orange sections on rounds of sponge cfike, moisten with a Utile of the sirup. Prepare n meringue, using two egg whites, two tnblespoonfuls of powdered sugar and a tablespoonful of the compote sirup. Cover the oranges and set in a moderate oven to brown. Serve cold with some of the compote as a garnish. Orange Ice Cream.—Cook two eupfuls of water with one cupful of sugar, cool and add one cupful of orange Juice, a pint of thin cream, n pinch of salt. Freeze ns usual. Winter Fruits. The orange is especially prized during the winter months, when it Is at its best and most plentiful and good flavored. The w i n t e r diet, being rich and heavy, needs such fruit to keep the body in good condition. All citrus fruits contain fruit salts and acids* which are most beneficial to health. A pint of orange Juice contains almost the same number of food units as three-quarters of a pint of milk. Orange juice is quickly assimilated and because of its action on the bowels, is one of the finest digestive regulators. Its beautiful color makes the orange particularly enjoyed In winter, when color in foods Is most appreciated. As n garnish the orange has wide possibilities. Baskets, cups, flowers, confections, may be prejuired. the rind preserved and served as a confection, or as receptacles for salads or Jellies. A sherbet is easily prepared using citrus fruit, orange or lemon juice. sugar sirup and water, or If a richer sherbet Is desired, thin cream or rich milk in place of the water. Serve In orange cups with roast meats or fowl. Candies of various kinds flavored with these fruit Juices are both wholesome and delicious Plain fondant, flavored with lemon or orange Juice and made into patties like the wintergreen or peppermints are well liked. Turkish delight prepared with gelatin, sugar sirup and fro it Juices, cooled In a flat dish and cut Into oblongs, thpn roiled in powdered sugar Is an other very popular confection. Glared fruits are particularly well liked during the cold weather. Orange sections, kumquats, tangerines and lemon quarters are very attractive. These should be eaten the same day made, as they soften In the air quickly. To prepare the sirup for glaced fruits take two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of boiling water, one-third of a teaspoonfnl of cream of tartar. Boil until the sirup begins to color light brown, or to .110 degrees F., then dip each piece quickly, keeping the sirup over hot water, Wellesley Fudge.—Cook three squares of chocolate, one-half cupful of milk and two-thirds of a cupful of brown sugar for ten minutes; add one teaspoonful of vanilla.

Material in Tree for Entire Church The First Baptist church of Santa Rosa, Cal., was organized in 18f>2 and met at first in u private home, later In tile open air under an oak tree and still iater In a church building of Its own, made entirely out of one big redwood tree. In a recent article on this church the Santa Rosa Republican said: "It Is true that the story of this church building runs only half n century, hut It is equally true that when Jesus was born In Bethlehem of ,ludea the tree which furnished material for this church was a promising young redwood." The tree was 18 feet In diameter and produced 78,0()0 hoard feet of lumber, besides shingles. The church, from foundation to roof, was built from this tree.

Why and Wherefore of Gore's Election SECRETARY <>ir A<; UK T I / i T R H H O W A l t l t MASON (lOKK revealed some unpublished political history to the Co-operative Farmers' convention recently in session at tVashincton. Before the death of Secretary Wallace, whom he succeeded, he was asdistant secretary of agriculture, and cemtent to remain so. Hut one day lust summer, before the West Virginia Republicans held, their state convention, Secretary Wallace came Mraiglit at the assistant secretary with thin question : "lA>ok here, Howard, are you j:oinu' to run for governor of West Virginia?" "No," auld Mr. (lore. ''1 want to slay in thlw work that brings tne close to problems of the farmers a n d helps me to help them more than I could in any other office. It's mv life and I love it, and I believe f urn useful In It." "Kven so," replied Wallace. "I think you owe a higher duty, a n d I hope you'll run for governor. I want yon to make the run. [ want you to make It for the honor of the farmers. What I mean is t h i s : You'll make It without setting neighbor against neighbor, You're ii farmer born and bred—H fanner among fanners —and they know it and the politicians know it. <io out and show them--show the country the kind of clean, neighborly campaign a farmer can conduct in a highly industrialized state." The assistant secretary bent to his c h i e f s wishes and fouidit the cam palgn on t h e Wallace lines. Result: He carried John W. Davis' home state for the Republicans by nearly ;*),(XHi majority. Now r o m i s Mother (lore upon the scenes. She is eighty-three years old, and for a fe,v da.\ s alter her son, who has been 17 .vein's a wn'ower, was elected governor she won h d n good deal about what he would do alone In "that big white house" on the hanks of the Kana wlm river, which is the executive mansion of West Virginia "Well," said she briskly, "I was left a widow vvjili a big household to manage, and never was anybody, black or white, rich or poor, turned away from the door. And It must be that way fit the big while house as long as Howard is governor; and, to be sure it's done, I'm going down there to see that i t ' s done." Robinson Says Coolidge Is Honest Man IT WAS an extraordinary thing in the senate t h e oilier day to hear Robinson of Arkansas rallying to the defense of Calvin Coolidge as «n honest man after sin h emphatic fashion as this : "As an American citizen a n d a s a senator of t h e Cnited States. T believe that your President and my President is an honest man. I am a Democrat, hut If to be a Democrat meifnfi that I must give myself and my feeble powers to an un.jnst assault upon t h e character of any political Adversary, then I am not a Democrat--but, thank Ctod, I did not have to take my definition of democracy from Crumbling G e o r g e ! "Democrat a s I am, [ do not believe that tne President deserves to be accused as t h e alleged Republican senator from Nebraska has accused him. iKMiiocrat a s i am. I resent t h e charge and I combat the charge t h a t Calvin Coolidge is a crook. For, sir. 1 do not lose my character as a Democrat or -'>as an honest citizen when I repudiate any measure based on t h e assumption that t h e President Is dishonest I disagree with him touching almost every important political principle. I think t h a t he is wrong. I think that his views on economic and political questions a r e not in accord w ith sound doci rine. "Rut I do not slander him with expressed or Implied insinuation. Why, sir, 1 could not find it in my thoughts to oppose legislation on the theory that he would dishonestly dis<hargc any duty or any obligation which the Cnderwood Muscle Shoals bill would impose upon him. "He is my President by the dioice of the American people. I think they made R mistake, but they had the power and they made the choice, and It Is Just such Insinuations as the senator from Nebraska has uttered in tills chamber that have given to Calvin Coolidge a prestige and n [tower— a far greater prestige and [tower than his natural abilities or the principles he espouses have given him a right to enjoy. F o r t h e poisoned darts of Insinuation have been powerless to pierce the shield which honest manhood wears. •' T h e rumble and roll of that had the galleries leaning over t h e railings. T h e public galleries do not know precisely how seriously to take t h e Democratic leader of the senate, but they do know what good drama is, and acclaimed ' J o s e p h Taylor Robinson a star. »' Weeks Against Army-Navy Air Service PLANS for the establishment of a separate department of aeronautics, unifying all aircraft activities both in the army and the navy nnder n single head, a r e bitterly attacked by Secretary of W a r Weeks in a letter sent to Congressman Mc- Kenzie (Rep.. III.), chairman of t h e house military Affairs committee. "Creation of sued) a sepnrnte a i r force, would end only in disaster In time of war and should not be tolerated in time of p e a c e " t h e secretary declared. "In warfare, unity of command, is essentia!. Lack of such unify of command has prohnhly been t h e cause of more defeats and disasters in military history than any other contributing e*U8e It nearly caused defeat in. and probably prnionge-d the two greatest wars in our h i s t o r y - t h e Civil war and the World war. **AfN>r snob experiences It is untfilnkdbie that a n y n»?ion con Id de- Hberatety prepare .its forces fpr national offense so a s to i n s u r e divided rsssjofialhlHtles a n d divided command sa t r i r r possible t h e a t e r of opera Yet this in what t h e Curry bill. !* BOW before congress, haa uni t e eeaftderattott." The Curry hill, introduced in the house hy Charles F. Curry (Rep.. Cal.), would create a department of aeronautics a n d t h e position of secretary of aeronautics. It provides for the organization, disposition find administration of a t'ntted States air force, the development of civil and commercial aviation and the regulation of the navigation of Mie air. Summarizing his objections. Secretary Week's pointed out what he considered t h e two principal defects of tbe bill. These were, first, that the proposed organization creates a trinity of command for our defense forces, with divided control in every possible t h e a t e r of operations, and second, that It proposes an air service for t h e army which is not a permanent and Integral part of the army This last he said violates the second great principle of military organization—that arms which a r e habitually to function t fleet h e r in battle must form permaetit p a r t s of t h e same organization. Plans for Itetter co-oper«ti<»n between t h e military departments and the m a n u f a c t u r e r s of aircraft have been rilara«aed at t h e W a r department between Secretary of W a r Week*, Secretary of the Navy Wtihnr, and aevera! aircraft manufacturer*.

A CHANCED MAN Light Colors Aid Growth Young animals, and presumably, children as well, grow more rapidly In rooms with walls painted in light, cheerful colors than they do In darkpainted apartments, says Popular Science Mor.thly. Experiments show that pale blue, white and light tan arc most conducive to rapid growth. "lie was such a poor talker--used so few words." "You haven't met him since he acquired n flivver, I see." IT WAS Ink From the Maple A homemade Ink was, in earlier days, sometimes made from the bark of the red maple by boiling it and adding sulphite of Iron, says the American Tree association. It contains considerable tannin, and, at one time, was occasionally employed in dyeing. Somewhat Personal A curator of a certain zoologies'] garden was on a vacation. He received a note from his assistant: "The chimpanzee Is sick. He appears to pine for a companion. We don't know what to do pending your return." Likely A Bronx woman gave he^ young son a nickel for the heathen, and fie went -end gave It to his father. He must have overheard a breakfast-table cbat. —H«w Dork American; \Yuodpe< k(T-- What the lierk kind of a pole is this, anyway? It must b« that Ironwnnd I've heard about. COULDN'T SEE CHANGE Cafe Sett-Protection Most of ns would not be able to say why a cat always washes Its Jaws and paws immediately after a meat It Is because In the days when the cat was a wild animal ana killed and ate its food raw, it would naturally finish a meal dripping with blood. If the cat had not bothered about this, the blood would have betrayed its hiding place to tta enemies. Therefore it always washed Itself carefully, and It has never lost the habit. PWtf^MVflM^Mw^art^MtMektaM'^aarfhM Embroidered in Human Hair Jong Bo, wife of a Chinese merchant la Canada, returned from China with bobbed hair, hot she carried her shorn tresses with her in the shape of an ex qulsite picture of Macao harbor, which she had embroidered in silk with her own hair while crossing the Pacific. The necessary relief in the picture was obtained by the use of white hair, for which one of the stewards sacrificed a leek.—London Tit-Bits. Truth and Lightning Lightning plays curious pranks, but one thing it does not do is to photograph images of trees or other objects upon the akin of its victims, says Nature Magazine. Much paeudo-scientinc nonsense has been written about the ramifying pink marks often found on tht bodies of persons who have beeD struck by lightning. Errors on the Safe Side As there are some faults that have been termed faults on the right side, so there are some errors that might be denominated errors on the safe side. Thus we seldom regret having been too mild, too cautious or too humble; but we often repent having been too violent, too precipitate or too proud.—Colton. Panama Hat Not Bleached A good Panama <-nat is never bleached after being woven. Those of superior grade are the original color of the little strips of leaves from a dwarf palm-tree plant that grows in those countries of Central and South America where the natives weave the best hats. Prices in Bible Days Abraham paid 400 shekels of silver ($200) for a piece of land for a burying place. In Solomon's time (I Kings 10:29) it is mentioned that the price of a chariot In Egypt was 600 shekels of silver ($280). The price of a horse was 150 shekels (about $72). German Boy Wonder Johann Bars tier, who died in 1740, at the age of nineteen, Is one of the world's moat striking Instances of precociousness. He read and wrote German and French at four, Latin at five, Greek and Hebrew at seven. Ministered to Vanity Belladonna is Italian for "fair lady," and the drug was given this name because Italian women employed the juice for staining their skin and to beautify the eyes by giving them a glistening appearance. Use Mirror to Teach By the aid of a polished brass mirror which catches the sun's rays and generates steam to ran toys, pupils of schools In Germany are taught the principles of heat, energy and engines. Early Marriage in Morocco In Morocco, as in most Mohammedan countries, the native girls are married at an extremely early age, often before they are fourteen, and It Is not uncommon for them to be divorced at Sixteen. Impatient Tramp—"Your honor, would you mind hurrying up my case a little? It's nearly twelve o'clock and if Fm going te go to jail I'd like to get there in time for dinner." Indian Deserves Honor To some nameless Indian the world owes the discovery of that great remedy, quinine, used in the treatment of malaria and many other disorders of the human body. "Right" Is Supreme The angels may have wider spheres of action, may have nobler forms of duty; but right with.them and with us is one and the same thing.—Chapin. O Danger in Inactivity "De man dat doea nnffin' but sit around waltln' foh good times," said Uncle Eben, "is liable to fan asleep and miss em."—Washington Star. Dogs in Glome Cages At the Kennel's dub show at Alex* andra palace, London, this fall some dogs were wrapped in rags and others kept la glass cages. Must Watch His Step It takes a shrewd political orator to avoid saying something that would give the other side a good argument —Boston Transcript, Partisan Parley A partisan Is a man who thinks yon an enemy If yon can't be as unreason*- able as he is.—Duluth Herald.

I found them everywhere!" is an exclamation frequently made by those who have visited Ayrshire stables. Bright-eyed, alert youngsters which seem to realize that much will some time be expected of them. The breed slogan, "Buy one, you'll soon have a herd," is based on the experiences of many beginners with the Red and Whites. Twins and even of many another, and the same vitality which "pulls him through" enables him to make a growth under favorable care which stamps him as a profit-maker and makes him a credit to his breed. Neither is the claim made that an Ayrshire, for all his ability as a rustler, can make the best development unless properly fed.

Y. triplets are not uncommon. One of the present class champions celebrated the completion of her record by presenting her owner with a pair of fine heifer calves. A sturdy, vigorous calf each twelve-month is the rule—and a rate of increase which soon gives the beginner a good size herd even though a small number are used as a foundation. The natural healthfulness of the Ayrshire is clearly shown in the calves. On their feet and sturdily nourishing themselves on the milk of their dams, within an hour after birth they need no coddling or extra care. Given a fair opportunity they will grow steadily, developing an ability to produce which year after year will enable them to repay many times over for the care and feed their owners give. This is not to say, however, that the Ayrshire is so hardy and strong that the calves are free from all disease. That is not true of the young of any farm animal. But out of the march toward maturity, but he must be fed well if the best growth is to follow. The milk of the j Ayrshire tests four per cent in fat. | Physicians and dieticians have proved j it is the best food for infants and in-! valids because of its balance of nutrients and its small fat globules. The | Ayrshire calf proves it is exactly J suited to its needs by responding! promptly and vigorously in growth! when left with its dam or given aj fair supply of warm, clean milk as it j comes from the cow. Even a few] drinks of colostrum is a great stimu-[ lus to growth. Where milk prices I are high, wholo milk may be rapidly i replaced by skimmed after the calf is a week or ten days old. It is soon ready for a little grain, then hay withj its grain, then weaning from the milk altogether and it is well started to making a real Ayrshire out of itself. Cleanliness and regularity in time and the quantify of food are liherallv rewarded by the thriving of a There was once an immortal speech that contained the words: "The world will little notu nor long remember what we say here." Genius is always modest. Once a revolutionary discovery in the practical science of dairying went out to the world with the modest preface, "Whether this test will find a place among those already introduced, time alone can decide." Thirty-three years have passed in judgment since then. The Babcocl test for the butterfat content of milk still keeps the place it achieved almost at a bound when it was given to the world a third of a century ago. TWs fall the National Buttermakers' Association has given to Dr. Baocock the gold medal annually bestowed by them upon an outstanding leader in the dairy business. This wa.« just a month after Dr. Babcock had celebrated his eightieth birthday. The halo of fame sits slightly atilt on the dignified head of this modest scientist. He is always pushing it aside. He deprecates any attempt t(, make of him a celebrity although his name is a household word wherever "cows is cows." He is now professor emeritus, but h^ is at work in his laboratory nearly every day. His co-workers say t h a t they always know when he is in the building by his hearty .jovial laugh. His experiments did not end with his most famous invention, but they are still being carried on through the years. Besides his work he is immensely interested in sports of all kinds. He follows the football season with keen interest; he is an ardent baseball fan. About three years ago he bought a car, learned to drive it himself, and so added motoring to his hobbies. He and Mrs. Babcock took an extended trip this summer. But you will need to delve into tho documents of the station and search out his co-workers of years to really find the story of the test that b«ars his name, \fost stories of invention read rather like romance to those of us who never see the patient, plodding, day-by-day testing and experimenting that bring them to pass. The story really begins back in IKoi. when the first associated cheese factory was started on the farm of Jesse Williams in Onedia county, New York. That first co-operative venture was so successful and presented such v. obvious advance in method that the idea spread rapidly. After the invention of the cream separator in 1S85 made the removal of the rre>m from the whole milk possible, cooperative creameries began to take the place of the farm dairies in greater numbers. That instantly brought to light a need for a reliable test for butterfat. Either paying by weight of the milk or pooling the neighborhood cream meant loss for the superior article and a premium on watered milk or thin cream. V a r i e s methods were discovered and tried but each required complicated machinery, a considerable amount of time and a skilled i t e r a t o r . Because dairying was the foundation upon which Wisconsin wax building up her prosperity, the experiment station took a keen interest in the solution of this problem Dean Henry appointed Dr. Babcock j list recently come to Wisconsin from Cornell, to work on the problem. For two years ho poured milk into bottles, treated it with one mysterious substance after another, and then turned it all out airain. One method after another was hailed as the ultimate because of momentarily satisfying the needs, only to fail in universal application. One was particularly interesting, fn this the milk was made strongly alkaline then treated with ether. A centrifugal machine aided in the separation of the ethereal solution of fat; the ether was evaporated ; then the fat was measured. The whole operation took place in the original bottles, Hundreds of tests were made by this method and all of them asrreed with the results obtained by the detailed chemical analysis. Then Sylvia ambled ruminatively into the story. Sylvia was a nice Jersey cow. She was no different from any other jersey as far as eye could see. She had no bad habits. The only difficulty was that when Dr. Babcock tried to test the butterfat content of her milk by this new me!>od, it did no." check with the chemic.Vly analyzed content. "Oh, this* is an exception. Let her go. This test will be used generally for testing mixed milk; it works there. Let us give the test out." urged Dr. Babcock's co-workers. But the scientist in him was obdurate. He refused to recommend a test that would not work successfully on every cow in the station herd. So he went on pouring other things into the slim-necked bottles and watching patiently what they did to the milk. Finally he found that sulphuric arid dissolved all the solids except the fat, and that the fat was melted by the heat of the mixture so that it would rise to the surface. Acted upon by centrifugal force, the fat gathered in the graduated neck of the bottle where the percentage of butterfat could b" determined at a glance. Tin test was very simple and easy to operate; it could be made by any careful person, and it took only five minutes. So carefully and accurately was the operation perfected that it has not thanged in character since it was recommended by Dr. Babcock those three score years ago. Of course the machines which do the mechanical work have been vastly changed and improved. In the meantime Sylvia had died, and no one will ever know whether the successful test would have worked with her or not. ExGovernor Hoard of Wisconsin once said, "The Babcock test has made dairymen more honest than has the bible, because it has moved all opportunity for them to profit by cheating." At the time of the coming of age of the test, a dozen years ago, Dean Russell wrote, "It has placed dairying on a scientific basis in that it has been the instrument through which it has been possible to improve factory efficiency, and to 'breed up' the quality of individual herds by selection." It became evident at once that it was going to be necessary to train the creamery man to use the test. The Wisconsin Dairy School, the first in America, was opened in the winter of 181)(), just a few months after the test had been perfected. There were just two pupils at that first session. These two were evidently good press agents, for 70 pupils crowded into a little room in the old wooden building at the next session. Dr. Babcock and II. B. Gurler, the first practical dairyman to apply the test to his own herd, both taught in this first school. A year later a legislative appropriation was granted for a new dairy building. Dairy education and the Babcock test have spread wherever dairying is of any importance in the body economic. Medals, testimonials of appreciation and grand prizes at national expositions have carried to Dr. Babcock from the people of his state, and from the far corners of the world, the gratitude that the world feels for his contribution to dairy science. Financial gain did not follow the invention of the test. According to a fine ethical standard none too common for any period, and quite unusual during t h s t time when fortunes were being made bv inventions, Dr. Babcock simple said: 'I was hired by the state to solve that particular problem and was paid a salary by the people for doing it. The test belongs to the people, not to me." So the bulletin which carried the epoch-making process to the world concluded with: "Thi^ test is not patented."

OUR POU if reasonable precautions are taken a larger percentage of Ayrshire calves can be raised to profitable maturity than in any other breed. Cleanliness is the first rule in disease prevention. Dark, damp barns harbor contagion and the number of calves which die or are stunted by sickness in such quarters is nfuch higher than is conducive to the best profits. The cost of providing sunlight in calf pens is one of the best investments on a dairy farm. Sunlight disinfects. It kills or weakens disease organisms which might otherwise be very harmful. And it enables the caretaker to see the calf pen so he can keep it clean. No one takes pride in a dark, dingy stable—the difference when light is let in shows itself very early in the improved appearance of the calf. An Ayrshire will survive conditions which would cause the death pen of young Red and Whites. No youngster on the farm is more attractive than the Ayrshire calf. It gives early promise of the qualities so strongly characteristic of the mat u r e animals of the breed. It is straight-lined, breedy in appearance, active, and of a symmetrical form which no lover of farm animals will fail to admire. J u s t as the mature Ayrshire is the premier show animal, so the calves excel in type when inter-breed competitions are provided. At the 1923 National Dairy Sho\* u seven-year old member of a New ^ ork boys' and girls' calf club won over the champions of other breeds, being given sweepstakes honors and receiving the fifty dollar prize offered by the New York Central Railroad for the best calf of any breed. A boy starts right when he begins with an Ayrshire calf. PARTMENT TW SI* Healthy, Happy Marq u r t to Y m i a w f m i the P « t t of Producing Good Hatching Eggs • A good criterion of one's ability ! as a poultry raiser, the Department of Agriculture says, is the number of chickens raised to maturity in proportion to the eggs set. Success depends to a large e x t e n t on this one factor. The causes for enormous losses in eggs and dead t m b r y o s occurring annually in the country are many. A conservative estimate places the los.* due to eggs that did not hatch in 1923 at over $8,000,000. Be sure, department poultryme* advise, that jyour breeders are in excellent health, have sanitary q u a r t e r s , and t h a t one male is mated to not over 15 females. Other losses are due to the fact that many poor eggs a r e set. Test your eggs carefully, and take out all with thin and spotted shells or with cracked shells. Make sure that all eggs set are also of standard size. The greatest loss in incubation occurs in the embryo t h a t die in the shell. This may b e due to faulty methods of incubation or to eggs of poor hatching quality. Immature pullets, breeding stock t h a t has been sickly and birds t h a t have been forced heavily for winter production are apt to produce eggs that will not hatch well. All breeders used should be- thoroughly healthy; t h e y should have abundance of constitutional vigor; and they should receive good breeding rations. The department adviees against the oat of too much protein, probably not over f5 per cent, in the mash rations; plenty of green food should be provided. Furthermore, give the breeders as much exercise aj possible. In fact, do everything possible to insure the production of eggs of good hatching quality and many apparent troubles in incubation will be solved. Pigs Must Have Their Vitamins that grass or forage crops contribute this vitamin, the lack of which in dry lot, or in winter rations, results in a superior showing for yellow corn. However, if pigs in the winter have access to leafy alfalfa or other legume hay in a suitable rack, or if they are fed chopped hay of this kind to the extent of 3 to 5 per cent in their ration, the chances are that they will avoid the results of vitamin deficiency, which are lack of thrift and even rickets or partial paralysis. A good plan is to save the shattered leaves from hay and to mix these with the slop, or in the self-feeder mixture of the pigs, o Hog Slaughter for 1923 Breaks Records That the lack of thrift among fall pigs so common in winter may often be due to the absence of vitamins from their feed, has been proved by pig feeding tests at the Ohio Experiment Statien. In discussing these experiments by his. department, G. Bohstedt states that it was recently found t h a t oats and such supplementing protein feeds as tankage, fish meal, and blood meal are practically devoid of the fat soluble vitamin, which is the vitamin found in relative abundance in yellow corn and whole milk. White corn has been known for some years to be lacking in this same vitamin. Therefore, he continues, in view of the vitamin deficiency of some of our mainstays in winter rations of hogs, such as white corn, oats, and tankage, it behooves us to supply the needed ingredient White corn when compared with yellow corn for pigs on pasture has given Just aa good results, showing More than 10,000,000 hogs were slaughtered under Federal meat inspection during the calendar year 1923 than during a n y previous year, I mined, cannot be changed without improved Conditions in the Philippines The seasonal activity and revival of trade in the Philippines resulted in the largest exports in November since June and imports in excess of any month in 1923 except January, with a favorable balance of trade considerably larger than any since June, according to a cable to the Department of Commerce. o Newton D.

Doubtless he was dead. Rachel shuddered. Her husband had a crime far worse than draft-evading to answer for. To plead "higher law" in this case would expose the pleader to ridicule. The Western man of that day was a justifier of law as represented by the state courts. It were better Rachel argued that Thornton surrender. Although >he had defied Wood-uw it was because of their relationship in the past. She would not ask :i< r wish hev husband to fall into his hands. New there was a chance to save honor and family pride by submitting voluntarily to the guard from Wingdam. Rachel approached her husband. He stood at the door with his hand on the catch of the latch, lie had snatched a hat from the floor and pressed it over his brows—the looped official headgear of Marshall Woodrow. "Thornton," protested Rachel. She had time to go no further. He turned the catch, lifted the latch and flung the door wide. A bright length of steel flashed in the faces of the two men who pressed eagerly forward. The sight of bare steel sent them reeling. Burke Swayde, a recently imported Canuck, was the first to recover his Bark* S w * H « wnwwed back, fetching a revolver to the front. sense*. He squared back, fetching a revolver to the front. He-was notquick enough, however. A stunning blow between the eyes staggered him. With the leap of a tiger Thornton Clang lunged his head into the stomach of Swayde; as the Canuck went down, the hunted draft-evader plunged into the darkness. While angry cries rang out three men sprang in pursuit. These fetched up in a tangle of blackberry brush and fell back cursing. The deserter was once more in the woods. To hunt for him here, especially after night, was like seeking the proverbial needle in a haystack. The men, pierced and smarting from the thorns of the briars, returned to the house. The door stood open and a young woman knelt on the floor beside the apparently dead Wood row. "By thunder, the sneakin' Reb has killed the marshal!" A white face was turned toward the crowding hunters of men—Rachel, weak and frightened at the tragedy. She knew t h a t her husband had escaped; it was only for a time, however. Murder was a deeper crime than evading a draft that many people believed to be a wicked u s u r p a - tion of power. I t was done to save her, she argued dimly. And yet she knew t h a t her danger from her old lover had not been great. He had rashly lost his head for one brief moment, that moment had sealed his doom. Slowly she got upon her feet and faced the guard. MIs the boss dead, m a m ? " "I fear so," faltered Rachel. "He did it—the blasted deserter—" "Hush,' commanded a voice. "Can't you see she ain't to blame? Gracious, man, don't h a r r y ,a woman!" The speaker, a r a t h e r comely young fellow in quiet garb, bent down to the side of his fallen leader. He t h r u s t a hand under the blue coat above the heart. His companions stood expect a n t scarcely breathing. "Tom's worth two dead men yet.''1 said the kneeler in a cherry voice. "Lend a hand, Burke, and we'll soon have the old man in a more comfortable place."' There were four of the men; they lifted their leader and bore him from the house. Before Rachel could close the door t h e young fellow who had examined Woodrow came back and stood with doffed hat in a respectful attitude. "This has been a beastly bad business, Mrs. Clang," he said. "Yea," she faintly acknowledged, ffttinf her heart jump. "I tint to apeak a word of apology for the boy*." He stepped aeroas the IlliaaMinlri wall into the room. The •jajl of •* infant suddenly aaaailed tat cars.

There are a lot of things to think of when we stop to consider. Now Mr. Clang has always been a good citizen—" "He has meant to be, sir," burst out Rachel, a chocking lump in her throat. "Thornton never meant any evil when he evaded the officers. He was always a state rights man. I don't hardly know what to do. You see, I am sure it is right to save the Union with men and guns, but." "That's it, Mrs. Clang. One man can't set up by himself alone and say this and that shall be. Uncle Sam's house is afire and every inmate ought to do his level best to put out the blaze. The incendairies must be whipped into submission." "Aren't you from Canada, Mr Ranger?" He smiled at her question. "I admit it, my dear woman; also I am proud to say that I am at present a loyal citizen of the Great Republic. Adopted citi?.ens have as much at stake in this war as have the native born. Now. I have enlisted, while your husband, who was born here, doubtless having a line of ancestors from the Mayflowi-r to back him, refuses to go—*' She interrupted him with a gesture of impatience. "I know all you would say, Mr. Ranger." Her voice trilled with tired defiance. "I cannot argue. I must defend Thornton's course. I will not listen to his enemies." "Quite right, but I am not an enemy to Thornton Clang," declared the young man. "He will tell you so if you ask him." "He is not here to speak for himself," with the faintest breath of hauteur. "How you can be his friend and aid others in hunting him down i<* draft sneak, an enemy to his country in its hour of need, therefore Rachel was now leading an isolated existence. For weeks not a friendly face had looked in upon her. Her husband was in hiding. He was not alone. The great north woods were made the sheltering place for scores of Uncle Sam's degenerate sons. There were other offenders as well t h a t found the dense jungles of the northern swamps safe abiding places. Outlaws from Eastern cities, horsethieves and forgers from Indiana and the near West, foreign embezzlers and futitive political outcasts from over the water—with this scum Thornton Clang had cast his fortunes! Rachel wept over it at the outset. She felt keenly the ostracism of old friends and neighbors. The husband sought his home only under cover of night. His last visit had proven very nearly fatal. It might yet prove his downfall if Marshal Woodrow should die. The next morning broke with gusty wind and an occasional downpour of rain. The tall pines moaned like human sufferers with fever. Back beyond the fringe of trees which surrounded her home Thornton lurked, awaiting the outcome of last night's tragedy. Baby Thornton was cross, and all attempts at singing died on the lips of poor Rachel. At times she went to the door and scanned the road and honest, sturdy, faithful and goodsomething a weak woman like myseli l e m p e r e d i H c w a g a n o n ] y brother. is unable to comprehend. Begging | T h u p e r k j n s family was narrowed to your pardon, sir, I prefer to be left alone." "Quite right again," assented Ranger, with'a winning smile. "I simply stopped to apologize for the boys. We are acting under orders, and have to perform many disagreeable duties. I trust—" She turned abrubtly away. She had gone to loor after the wailing Thornton Jr. He saw that he was dismissed and walked out muttering. "By George, this makes a fellow feel streaked. Such a wife—and thrn there's the baby! I almost hope they'll not get the old man." Rachel soothed the child and came back presently to clo«e the door. The night was warm for it was midsummer. She sat down and rocked th( little one in her arms. It had "been a strenuous time. She thought of the past, of the old wooing days ,and of the now, with its burden of woe. The young wife was a conscientious body. She believed in the Union of her fathers— and yet Thornton had a plausible way of explaining the other side. He was not a hater of the Union he often declared. To coerce a sovereign state, however, was unconstitutional. He revered the Constitution of the fathers and would never lift his hand to break it as the "Abolitionists" were doing. Rachel went over this in her mind. She knew that Thornton was as conscientious in his beliefs as wore those on the other side. Ought he then to be compelled to carry a musket for shooting to death his own opinions? It did not seem right. How fierce and angry people had ecome arguing the point. Men had even called her husband a traitor— awful name! She remembered with what loath hing she had viewed the plotter of treason, Benedict Arnold. The first American traitor had been abhorreJ. To think of her Thornton in the same category was preposterous. WTas he not thoughtful of her every want, the embodiment of kindness and t r u t h ? He a traitor—never! And thus Rachel learned to shriek from and dislike her once kind neighbors and friends, the friends of her father, who as has been hinted, was a fierce Unionist. The war had been going on for some times. Thornton had remained true to his beliefs, defending the "erring Southern brethren," and denouncing the Government's efforts at coercion. Some there were of the opposition to the great war who sneered at wounds and scars and death. Never, however, had Thornton Clang stood beside the bier of a dead soldier and jubilated over his demise. The soldier was to him a hero, though misguided, and he bared his head, honoring the Patriot dead as did his Union-loving neighbors. Because of this he was forgiven much. When, however, the hand of military law beckoned him to the r a n k s of the Union's defenders and he refused to answer the call, the people a s one man rose up to execrate and descry. I t was at this time t h a t Rachel lost her good friends of the neighborhood and found herself standing aloof, commiserated perhaps, yet ostracised and deepbed. The mother who had lost a son, the a brother or sweetheart, could The boy sprang up and began investigating. Thornton J r . was sleeping in his crib. Jack picked him up, gave the babe a shake and a toss, and chirruped gaily. The wee lad opened his blue eyes and blinked like a young owl in the sunlight. "Hey, you little r u n t ! " sang Jack, tossing and rolling the child. "Hey, look 'o here! Didn't know your daddy was a soldier, eh, gone to fight his country's battles away down in Georgia? Well, well, won't we feel proud of our daddy when we grow up and hear him tell of the w a r s ! " Rachel stood petrified. So Jack did not know. She recalled that scene of the previous night as her brother tossed little Thornton back to his crib and faced into the front room once more. She noted the rich glow of his cheeks, the bright, happy flash of his big: brown eyes and felt her heart sink. Such a brother as Jack; no one had i\ nobler. It way hard to tell him the t-ith- Why had he not learned it on his vay up? She could not tell him. And now her husband's acts seemed less heroic in her eyes. Jack, sturdy young oak of th:> Perkins family, knew more li.r.n son*1 rru-n, and he was not tinctured wit!, the state rights dogma. "Well, so old Thornt has gone at last. I l l try and get over oftener after this, Sis. It'll be dreadful lonesome for a spell, but you must keep a stiff upper lip and never say die. I reckon the old bov was a bit put out at first the woods. She hardly thought to see j J u s t I i k e h i m < H e wasn't quite as a n y o n e , much less a friend. The fierce for the Union as we youngsters, with fret and L u t jt»jj c o m e r i ? h t in t h e e n d a n y . how." "I trust so," murmured Rachel. She went to the window and gazed into the crinky, heated atmosphere. A lump in her throat almost chocked her. Something was pressing very close about her heart; there was a smothery feeling in the air. Her white forehead leant against the sash. her hands clinched the folds of her gray skirt fiercely. "Well, now, Rachel, don't take it so hard. Blame it all, why can't our women these days be like the ones of old? I read about one in the Boston Tea Party book who sent her boy into battle without a gun, telling him he would sure find one dropped by a coward. That was just before the battle of Bennington. Then there was old Hezekiah Wyman, who picked off the Britishers at Concord, riding a white horse around the whole Redcoat army. But he was a man. Say, Sis, I'll go up to Wingdam and see old Thornt in his uniform, and take him cake or anything you've a mind to send." reader must not forget, howcM-r, oui warning of two months ago regarding the cold to follow the solar "?hpse date. March in Michigan will average warmer than the seasonal normal and will give indications of an early breaking up of winter but the farmer has yet to reckon with April. During March precipitation will be far btlow the seasonal average. Most parts of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains will see a dry to drouthy March with the exception of scattered areas and in some of the western Southern states where rainfall will be heavy. Warm, sunshinny days will be the rule in most parts of country during March. For April, in Michigan we see much storminess and temperatures generally below the seasonal average for the month as a whole. Happenings hours were bilious worry. F a r away beyond the river a thin dark object pierced the heavens— the spire of Wingham's big Methodist church. Here prayers were offered for the success of the Union arms. If,these prayers were answered Thornton and his wife would be confounded. A form broke from the woods and swung down the road. Rachel started and bit her lip. The careless swing was not new to her. She was about to have a visitor in whom she placed the utmost love and trust—her brother Jack. C H A P T E R m . Jack Perkins Jack Perkins was a few weeks past seventeen.

George B. Christian, Jr., who was secretary of President Harding, has been virtually decided upon by President Coolidge as a successor to Victor Murdock as a member of the federal trade commission. Substitution of personal and business income taxes for the present levies on intangible personal property and abolishment of the Smith one per cent tax law, were suggested to the Ohio Tax association as first steps in a campaign to place taxation in Ohio on an equitable basis. With a roar that shook Alaska for hundreds of miles and brought terror to the inhabitants of the little villages far out on the westward from Seward, Alaska, the southern edge of Paviof volcano was blown off by a gigantic subterranean disturbance last week.

New York Republicans opposed to the St. Lawrence ship canal plan are seeking to spike any attempt to put a plan in favor of the project into the Republican national platform. President Coolidge has been informed that the plan is chiefly a power grab. Approximately 30 were killed last week in Japan when an earthquake shook the country near Tokio.

After her marriage the boy sturdily refused any further aid from his sister, but sought the world and became his own master. This independence and courage endeared him u\\ the more to the somewhat unstable Rachel. Jack attended school winters and worked summers. He managed to live and improve his mind without getting wealth. This summer hr was a mill hand at Logtown, a little huddle of houses a few miles down the river from the somewhat pretentious city of Wingdam. The boy had not shown up since early spring. Rachel was glad to see his smiling face once more. She ran to greet him, throwing her arms about his neck, kissing him nn both cheeks. "Heigho! there. Sis," wheezed Jack. "Let up can't you. you're smothering a fellow?" "My, Jack, its been an age since I saw you last!" ejaculated Rachel. "Well, yes, a sort o long time," admitted the boy, "but I couldn't come sooner. Busy as anything; and now there's something else plaguing me," and the boy dropped into a convenient chair. He had his sister's brown eyes and contour of face, but here the resemblance ceased. His face was broader, while a lot of big freckle? rioted across the bridge of his strong nose and spread well down either cheek. And his hair! Rachel's was a beautiful bronze, too dark for Titian tints; Jack's stood in angry flakes and bristles, each individual hair bidding defiance to comb or brush, and the color was undeniably red. This color had ever been a source of worry and disgust to the boy. "Redtop" at school and "Sandy" in the mill and woods were appellations that hc could not shake. As the years counted upward Jack minded these things less. "Where have vou kept yourself so long, J a c k ? " Happy in the sudden appearance of her brother Rachel had forgotten the gloom of her surroundings. "Why, at Burridge's mill of course. Been busier 'n a dozen women at a gassin' bee, Sis. Some of the machinery busted this morning; it'll take all day to fix it so I thought I'd come and see you. How's the kiddy, and Where's Thornt? Oh, I know of Jack shows hit love for hit titter. The boy got up and went to the side of his sister. He placed his arm about her trim waist and kissed her. "What, you ain't crying I hope," he said quickly. "Now don't do that. Be braye like the Revolutionary women were. Pshaw, I know old Thornt won't get a scratch, and'll come marching home a colonel at the very least, then think how proud you will be of your soldier hero husband!"

Townsend of Michigan, Late Chairman on Post Offices and Post Roads, Says So in Radio Talk From Washington Grand Rapids—No one thing in the last dozen years has contributed more to t h e pleasure and progress of the people in the United States than has the automobile. I shall not give the bill of particulars which readily suggests itself in support of this statement. I desire, however, to mention one thing which in itself justifies my statement. I refer to the interest the automobile has aroused in highway construction and improvement. Not until the automobile became a demonstrated success did the Federal government give material aid to highway building in the states. It is true that prior tothe railroad and tele graph Congress attempted to con struct a few highways over which the mails could be carried by horses and horse-drawn vehicles t o the sparsely settled west and to facilitate the settlement and development of those remote regions; yet these efforts were only temporary and soon abandoned. After the advent of the railroad, and especially of the transcontinental lines, the Federal government took no interest in highways, and their construction and maintenance were left almost entirely to restricted local communities, which seem never to have had a national or even a state-wide vision. Scientific road building was unknown, and therefore unpracticed. It is a notorious fact that, as the country developed in many other r e - spects, mud and loose sand roads were the general order, and not- until the arrival of the automobile, which required smooth, hard roads for successful operation, was the relation of good roads to general progress and prosperity given careful scientific thought and attention. Then began the real study of highway transportation. Then was understood the neglect and waste which had char acterized road building throughout the more than one hundred years of our national existence, and inasmuch as interstate commerce f a r exceeded state commerce a n d inasmuch further as Congress h a s full control over t h e former, the Federal government assumed its rightful constitutional jurisdiction and decided t o assist t h e states, not only with money but also with information on the construction of highways that would serve a federal purpose. The result has been of unquestioned great.value to the country. Even as the people were properly taxed to assist in the construction of the first transcontinental railroads, so the p f i l e are now taxed to assist in building interstate highways. There was, however, this difference: in the case of the railroads t h e Federal contribution was t o corporations who had the chance for future profits, while the aid to highways was for t h e permanent benefit of all the people. Fderal aid to roads is obtainable through general taxation and from special taxation of automobiles. It is distributed fco the states proportionately according to area, mileage of roads and population, and t h e interesting fact is disclosed by the census that this method of distribution is approximately the same as the distribution and production of the basic raw materials. That is to say, a state obtains as its share of Federal aid about the same percentage of the whole sum appropriated us is its percentage of basic material of the whole of such material in the United States. It is clearly in the interest of the manufacturer in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan or Illinois to have a market in t h e south, in Kansas, Montana, Washington, Nevada and New Mexico. He cannot sell all his products nor generally a majority of them in his home state. A selfish interest if no other should therefore induce him to contribute to the welfare of the states where is located his greatest market. But strong and appealing as is the selfish argument in favor of Federal participation in interstate highway construction, there are stronger and more impelling reasons than this. Our country prospers or suffers as a whole. The blight or failure of one section is the cancer which affects the whole body politic, and all the states and all t h e people a r e vitally interested in the prosperity of all the states—all sections. So far as interstate highways are concerned, every state in t h e Union should be interested in their construction and maintnance in every other state. They are imperatively necessary in time of war. They are of highest importance to unity and co-operation in time of peace. What can be done nationally by motorists and citizens who a r e interested in this great national highway development We must have a continuation of Federal aid in increasing rather than in diminishing appropriations. An allocation of $75,000,000 of Federal aid to the states has been made for the fiscal year of 1925. The appropriation must be made by the present Congress. A definite program of further Federal aid must be determined for the years following 1925. To secure a continuation of Federal aid appropriations is going to require an insistent, intelligent, well-organized demand on t h e part of the motorists of the country. Unfortunately some of the states have been backward in taking up their Federal aid allotments. This has created balances in the United States Treasury larger than they should be to the credit of the Federal Aid fund. There is a tendency among some members of Congress to hold u p further Federal aid until these balances have been absorbed. I believe that this is wrong. Every progressive state which matches Federal aid with its own revenues should be permitted to move forward with its road program, because in doing so it not only contributes to the welfare »f its own people, b u t even more largely to the good of t h e whole country. !X»/;:vv»s^:v»/;^^^;:,*\':«^vf/j;*'jL.«'jtvvxv»v^yji!»i This Week NOWACK Women Worth While. Pensioning Perseverance. Who's Who in Lansing. vs^w^mwe^Ye^/ex^^^^ Lansing, J a n . 31.—They came to Lansing from the smaller towns and villages and made good—these women who are so closely identified with the official life in Lansing. There are a large number of these able, conscientious workers, thesj women who take care of the state's detail work, upon whose shoulders tall the tiresome tasks that, because of constant repetition, tires mere man. Space will not permit mention of them all. the faithful performance of their duties? These questions a r e common about the capitol. There a r e several men in state employ who have weathered the storms of many administrations. The reason lies in the fact that democratic a s well as republican executives have recognized their perbevthing worth. There are one or two cases right now of employes who gave to the state the best they had and today because their is no pension law for state employes, they are in danger of losing out. A pension bill was introduced a t the last session. It died in committee. High state executives say such a law should be enacted. "Look here, BoguB," asked Colonel White. " D o you happen t o know where Ink Judson is just now?" "Yassah! Yassah! Sho' does sah!" replied Brother Bogus.

Ground Almonds Farmers Employed in Beet Sugar Factories The beet sugar factories of Michigan have brought a return to the farmers of Michigan other than for the raising of beets. Not only have sugar beets been one of the best paying crops this year, but a majority of the men employed in the beet sugar plants this year have been farmers. The result has been t h a t the farmers have earned good wages during t h e fall and early winter. A few years ago practically all the labor employed in t h e sugar plants were from t h e cities. Yearly, however, more and more farmers have been employed until this season saw most of the jobs held by farmers. They drive to and from their work night and morning in their automobiles and if their farm work is not such a s to allow them to work in the day they work a t night. This h a s worked to t h e advantage of t h e beet sugar companies as well as to the farmers. It has brought about a closer feeling betwen the companies and the farmers and while many of the farmers employed in the plants do not raise beets they have become boosters for the crop. o Advance in Farm Wages During Year Washington.—Farmers were r e - quired t o pay higher wages to male farm labor during 1923 than in t h e two preceding years, t h e U. S. Department of Agriculture reports. The average rate per month with in 1923 was $33.18, in 1922 Day wages for harvest labor, with board averaged $2.45 in 1923, as compared with $2.20 in 1922 and with $1.55 in 1914. F o r farm labor other than at harvest time t h e rate per day with board was $1.93 in 1923, as compared with $1.65 in 1922 and with $1.13 in 1914. The peak year in wages of farm labor in recent years was 1920, t h e department points out. The deflation of general prices then began and farm wage rates continued to decline until the fall of 1922, when an upward tendency developed. o Cigar Tobacco Production Increases board it was $29.17. and in 1914 t h e rate was $21.05. The average monthly rate without board in 192S was $44.91, to 1922 H waa $41.79, and in 1914 the rate was $29.88. Washington—T h e production of cigar types of tobacco last year was 195,788,000 pounds as compared with 175,001,000 pounds in 1922, says the Department of Agriculture. Production of cigar tobacco increased in all tobacco-growing States except Ohio where the crop decreased around 750,- 000 pounds. The crop of all types for snuff and chewing, cigarette, and pipe tobacco totalled 1,278,000 pounds in 1923 as compared with 1,071,836,000 pounds in 1922. The burley crop alone jumped from 275,601,006 pounds in 1922 to 326,116,000 pounds in 1923. The Old Belt type of tobacco in North Carolina and Virginia was 249,- 500,000 pounds in 1923 as compared with 708,000 pounds in 1922, and t h e New Belt crop of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia was 306,- 547,000 pounds compared with 199,- 060,000 pounds. Decreased production is shown for a few types, but the decreases a r e more than offset by t h e increases in other kinds. Singleton—They hare machine* now that can tell when a man is lying. Ever see one?" Wedmore—Seen one? By gosh, 1 married one! For instance there is Alice Alexander, chief of the corporation division, who out-guesses and out-talks corporation lawyers and earns for the state tax fees many, many times her salary of $3,600. She is the state's highest paid woman. There is Genevieve Mc- Cann, chief clerk in the Conservation offices, who knows the game laws backwards. She has earned recognition in the larger magazines. Grace Murray, assistant to the secretary of the administrative board, busies herself with the horde of details in that work and finds time to a r r a n g e some tangles in the budget directors labors. She can show you the records of business transactions of a state corporation valued at around six billion There is Mary Condon, chief of the capitol switchboard, who sees the most remote sections of the state connected with the most important offices of state government. Julia Gaylord, secretay of state's office, is the financial clerk and a sort of walking encyclopedia so f a r as t h a t office is concerned. The hands of Mary Stimson, in the state treasurers office, handle millyions in state bonds. Julia Smedley^private secretary to the auditor general; Helen Pease, who records what the administrative board does; Gertrude DeCair, Anna Hansen and Agnes McCann, who take care of the governor's detail work and who are busy with files and typewriters and thousands of notarial commissions and requisitions for prisoners apprehended in other states, all play an important part in the scheme of things generally. Day after day, week after week these women with others, make possible the steady functioning of a state's vast administrative machinery. Visitors usually meet a man when they drop into the capitol to inquire about this or that, but back of the scenes the women play a part the public seldom knows. For 15 years Hoyt Woodman has served with honor in the state treasurer's office under various titles and he served Michigan without title, for five years previous to that in the auditor general's office. His record of public service, from the time he left Northville, shows him as having worked as cashier in the auditor general's office for five years, then a s chief clerk in the state treasurer's office. He climbed from that position to the cashiership, and then to the position of deputy state treasurer. Grow ihern In your fcaxden.

If the job is done as it should be done, a very serviceable floor will result that can be k e p t clean with a dry mop and on which r u g s will suffice in the same way as with floors of hardwood. It is essential, however, that the softwood floor be thoroughly put in shape before it is painted. This, perhaps, is the secret of a successful piece of work. First of all t a k e a small hand plane and go over the entire floor surface, smoothing off all irregularities. Operate the plane along the grain of tile wood. On splintery boards it is best to cut back the splinters to a solid base, even if it leaves a rough place. Then smooth off the roughness with emery cloth. If the thin, slivery grain is left intact, the end of the splinter will in time find a way to curl up and the dry mop will catch it. It sometimes is quite a task to overcome the splinters, but it can bej done if ones supply of patience is of generous proportions. I After the floor has been smoothed! off by help of the plane and emery cloth, go after the cracks. Fill the larger ones with thin strips of wood. The smaller ones can be handled with a mixture of newspaper pulp (made by soaking the paper) and water p a t t y . The druggist will furnish this in powder form. Mix enough of it with the pulp to make a heavy paste. It has almost the consistency of iron when it is dry. Two coats of flat paint will give an even color and provide a splendid base for the finishing coat of varnish. It is better to do the job this way than to use a paint that contains varnish. When buying varnish get t h e very best. It is this that gives wear to the floors on which one's time h a s been spent. The varnish best suited to this purpose is the heavy varnish used on the decks of boats and in other work where exposure is severe. With such a surface the floor will give years of service. Homemade Hominy Two quarts shelled corn, two tablespoons lye, one gallon boiling water, one pint cold water. P u t lye into kettle and add cold: w a t e r ; when dissolved, add boiling, water and mix thoroughly. Stir in the corn and bring to a boiling point ia IS or 20 minutes. Boil 20 minutes, stirring constantly. If the mixture cooks down so thick that corn begins to stick to kettle, add more boiling water. After boiling 20 minutes test some corn in cold water. If the eyes (or that part of the kernel which has been attached to the ear) fall out when touched, the corn is ready to wash. If eyes do not come out, boil a few minutes longer and tset again. Remove from stove, fill kettle with cold water and stir thoroughly. Drain off water; repeat four or five times. A wooden churn dasher is good to use in the washing, as it loosens the eyes and one does not need to put the hands in the water. After the lye is washed off, continue working with corn until eyes are all out. Cover corn with cold water and bring to a boil; drain off and repeat same process for three or four hours. As the corn swells, add more cold water. The hominy can be started one day and finished the next. On the first day carry the process through the different washings, then let stand over night in cold water. Next day, drain off water, cover with cold water and boil as mentioned above. However, two or three boilings will be sufficient if the lye has been proprly washed off. CAUTION: Do not use anything but an iron kettle and stir with a paddle. When washing the hominy do not put the hands into the first four wash waters. (The above recipe is by Mrs. Ward Tylee, Linn county, Iowa.)—Extension Service, Ames, Iowa.

If roe Hkt this jtf artfcket you wifl favor the fcfcft* \v WtL I What the Children's Bureau It The idea of a bureau devoted entirely to the interests of children is a comparatively new one. When the United States Children's Bureau was formed in 1912, it was the first Bureau of its kind in any National government. Since then many nations rnd most of our own States have followed Uncle Sam's example. The Children's Bureau (now a part of the U. S. Department of Labor) has one of the most important and most interesting constituencies in the wry-Id. The welfare and the interests of nearly 40,000,000 children under 18 are entrusted, so far as our National Government is concerned, to the Children's Bureau. It may easily be seen that the Bureau has a big job. In the first place it must investigate the conditions which are bad for the health of babies and children—and also of mothers, for healthy babies. Having discover ed the best way to make healthy babies and strong vigorous children, the Children's Bureau must share its knowledge with parents, teachers and local communities so t h a t it may benefit the children directly. This work comes under the direction of two divisions of the Children's B u r e a u ; the Maternity and Infancy Division and the Child Hygiene Division. The first of these two divisions also administers the Federal Maternity and Infancy Aet, about which another article win teU you. Another-division of the bureau deals with t h e problems of t h e million child workers in the United States. It sends careful investigators to far distant States and to industries of various kinds, to learn under what conditions children are working ,and how this work effects them. The industrial division also helps the States to safeguard working children by showing them how to improve their child-labor laws. If the United States Congress passes a child-labor amendment it will be still easier to protect these little workers because the power of the National Government will be on their side. Still another division of the Children's Bureau is concerned with the neglected and dependent youngsters who need and sometimes do not get special care from the community. The most fundamental and effective ways of helping the child whose home seems likely to be broken up, the child who bids fair to drift from delinquency to crime, the child is crippled, deaf, blind, or mentally subnormal are studied by the Social Service Division and the results of the;e studies are then made available to the organizations and States which are trying to help these children. One of the most important parts of the Children's Bureau work is answering the hundreds of letters which come every day from almost every part of the world asking some question about the care of children or the welfare of mother-. Every mother and every father should feel free to v.jite at any tim" tD their Children'? E'ireau nt Washington go:* such infortrttion. V, is alw_ty -, given as ^a-efully and clearly as possible. Grace Abbott, Chief of the Children's Bureau, looking over the II years which have elapsed since the experiment of its establishment was made, summarized the advances made during those years in this way: When the Children's Bureau was fcrmed in 1912, nobody even knew how many babies died every year ir, the United States or why they died- There was no birth-registration area and therefore no official figures. Today the birth-registration area/ include? 30 States and the District of Columbia—72.2 per cent of the population. When the birth-registration area was first established in 1915, 100 out of every thousand babies born alive died during their first year. In 192k. only 7f> out of every thousand babies died. In other words, about 60,00( babies are saved today who, had they been born in 1915, would have died before their first birthday. In 1912 only one State had a special bureau dealing with child health. Nc State had a bureau dealing especially with dependent, neglected or delinquent children. No State had created a child-welfare commission. Today 46 States have special dealing with child health. More than half have created commissions to investigate all aspects of child welfare. More than half have bureaus dealing with dependent, neglected or delinquent children. In 1912 only 2 States had "mothers' pension" laws providing for public aid to mothers with dependent children who would otherwise have to be taken from their mothers and placed in institutions. Today 42 States have such laws. In 1912 United States Government gave no money aid to the States to help them to protect the health of mothers and babies. Today Congress is permitted by law to appropriate $1,240,000 every year to give to the States to increase the funds used for th*» welfare of m s t e m i t y and infancy. The Children's Bureau does not claim all the credit for these changes. I t has in many cases however made in- Testiffatkms and furnished facts on vhich the action taken by others we* I t h a s frequently called National attention *o some danger signal which must be heeded if the safety of children and the welfare of the Nation must be assured. In *>very way so far as it hao been able, the Bureau has acted as the representative and the guardian of the welfare of its child constituents as well i s the ndvisor and helper of parents and friends of children. o Not That Joshua Charged with illicit distilling, a long, lean Tennessee mountain youth stood before the rural bar of justice.

" A r e you the Joshua who made the sun stand still?" asked the judge. "No, yore Honor—I'm the Joshua what made the moonshine." o Safety Deposit Bobby—Grandma, can you break nuts with your teeth?

Blind, crippled and otherwise physically handicapped Boy Scouts who have not been eligible to work for Merit Badges because their disabilities prevented them from fulfilling the requirements for second-class rank and for first-class rank, whence the scout is permitted to enter the fascinating merit badge field, will be heartened in their advance in Scoutcraft, by the recent decision of the Executive Board of the National Council to create an Achievement Badge for physically handicapped scouts in recognition of certain requirements, which badge will permit them to take up any of the 70 merit badge subjects, without modification. The present decision nowise moderates or lowers the regularly prescribed standards of Scouting; it rather represents a means by which physically disabled scouts may be encouraged to maximum achievement. To qualify for the Achievement Badge, the scout will proceed as for second and first-class rank, except that he shall also present a written application signed by a registered physician addressed to the local court of honor explaining the apparent physical disability which makes it impossible for him to meet the prescribed requirements. It is further recommended that scouts making application for the new Achievement Badge be encouraged to exercise their own initiative and judgment in devising and passing some test within their physical capacity as evidence of their scout spirit and their eagerness to develop to the fullest their abilities. The Achievement Badge is to be in both metal and cloth. The cloth badge is to be worn on the sleeve with any merit badge subsequently awarded. Because of the many appealing cases of deserving and efficient scouts, displaying in their daily lives highest ideals of Scouting, but who because of physical handicaps have been hindered in official advancement in rank, the organization after speeial and sympathetic consideration has arrived at the foregoing decision. Hee is a chance for all the Boy Scouts who read this department to do some real work among the boys of their community who are physically handicapped. Boys in this class will welcome this announcement and it will give them an opportunity to take part, and secure Achievement Badges for their own labors, which will help develop them into real men. What is the matter of our boys and girls, they do not seem to be making use of the department? Some of you live wires, suggest something that will start the ball rolling.

HiliafellllllH IMJIMKM NOISE—AND HOW TO REDUCE IT Why Leakage Is Common Electrical leakage, for several reasons, is a common fault of the ordinary radio B battery. One of these Teasons is that as voltage is increased the tendency towards leakage is also increased, and the voltage of the B batteries is comparatively high— 23 volts for a B battery as contrasted with 6 volts for the A battery. Another reason is that in the ordinary B battery used in radio service, the tendency toward leakage has not been sufficiently taken into account. Most ordinary radio batteries are merely adaptations of automsbile batteries, and in automobile service, battery leakage does not have to be guarded against so carefully aa in radio operation. In the first place, the tendency of the automobile battery to leak is much less because it is usually only of 6-volt construction while, in the second, such leakage as does take place, has no perceptible influence upon results.

By Harold Cary mm6B®BWMwmmrww$8mm& tHWMWHWHWIW^^ There are ten short years betw een these t w o pictures of C o t t o n w o o d Falls, Kansas. And w h a t a contrast- The automobile has brought this Main Street nearer the surrounding farm lands, a n d shortened the distance to the great markets of Kansas City. There are from five to six million famUies in the United States who want ears badly. They are saving and skimping to get thenu Probably between two and three millioyis of the f families will buy their cars this year. Add those to two million replacements and there goes another record—four and a half to five million new cars in 1924. Collier's a-^ked some fn/nou.s economists for their opinions ny motor-rnr buying in 1924. As yon read them here in Mr. Gary's article, remember the irresistible force of that great desire. It can make 1921, our biggest automobile year. In the issue of precisely one year ago Collier's carried a headline on this page: "Bring on Your Twenty Million Cars." Well, the industry' up and did the beat it could with its machine tools and labor. It smashed automobile production records into microscopic pieces. It turned out between three and one-half and four million motor vehicles! "You can't get the force of that fact without looking back for a moment. That is 1920 was the great boom year for cars. Then 1922 smashes 1920 by 20 per cent. Along conns 1923 and smashes 1922 into the basement—by at least 40 per cent. To a staid student of economies such figures are merely bewildering—unless he has a year or two to devote to a study of the reasons why. He might be pardoned for a large calamity howl. A year ago we said: "We are going to double the number of motor vehicles in the United States. The industry is going to continue breaking records. There is no immediate saturation point in sight. It will be several years before the annual increases settle down to march hand in hand with the mere increase in population. We are going to have almost as many cars as there are white native-born families. We are going to have about 20 million cars 4n the United States." Yet it is obvious, of course, that we cannot go on and on, year after year, smashing records by 20, 30 or 40 per cent. Somewhere the present curve must torn sharply. That is as inevitable as the fact that the Fourth of July is coming, but so is Christmas and next winter, so is the year 1950. Meanwhile, what, and when? Fooling the Wise Men The big automobile men say, not yet. They are tuning up to beat 1923 in 1925. They say they can build from 25 to 40 per cent more cars this year than last, or about 5 millions. One manufacturer announced a program of 10,000 cars a day. His associates say they expect to average 8,000 a day for 300 days, or almost 2½ millions for the year. It is said that another manufacturer will turn out a million so that these two matters alone will make more cars this year than the entire industry built in the great boom year of 1920, Several other big builders have plans for enormous numbers. Obviously you can go a long way before you find pessimists in that ;voup of hard-headed business men. Should they be right and they can buy them and when are they going to run? Certainly not on Fifth Avenue in New York, or in Chicago or in Los Angeles. Those streets won't hold any more, to speak of, unless you mean between two in the morning and daylight. The business has been estimated, including tires, repairs, and oil, to he as much as 6 billions a year now, or about 10 per cent of the nation's business. Oh, the alarmists have plenty to holler about. They can even see us motoring straight to economic damnation. Some of them say we have not only reached a saturation point, but have gone away past it; that millions of people will have to give up their cars at the first gust of a coming depression (just like Christmas, depressions are always coming.) They say it takes an income of a couple of thousand dollars a year to support family and car, and that there are but 2½ million people in the country who have so large an income, and t h a t since we now have between 13 and 14 million cars on the road, we are in for it right. In th* face of that, the 1923 record fs an awful thing to have to face, and in this new year maybe we wont sell any new cars at all, but will throw away half of those we now have! Only, we won't. •V^Y";,&T*ji»; *>*&••*• o*'* ' ii-*-'- . - i V V A - j*--.r •/ -$%£rir$* •*•'*' •rf *•••"• VtfVi'v ?* I I W O U a Mwmr, bald t W aavfealaat off a W a t • f aaa af t k * great Detroit foctorioa Last year we made the generalization we have already quoted, made it after interviewing the leading economists and statisticians of the United States. The list was not hand-picked for or agianst, because, until we talked 10 them, we did not know what they had worked out. It was hand-picked for intelligence and a b l i t y . for fundamental economic good FCMSC. '>ow, one year later, w< have interviewed these same men again. We asked them whether this record-breaking year just past had changed their opinions or not. We asked them also what they thought of the year 1924. In no case had an opinion changed about the long-time swing. Some of them think 20 millions is a little hiph —that, perhaps, it will not run over IS. One and all, they think the calamity howlers are (my word) crazy. If cars were a mere luxury, and if their prices had stayed way ^p, nothing like our present population of car owners would have them. But cars are no longer a mere luxury. Thousands of them are what economists call "producers' goods," by which is meant that they are goods which help the producer earn his way. You see those cars ull around yon—in the hands of the doctor, the lawyer, the farmer; you see them also as cutting rents for city people by enabling them to live several miles from the railroad station from which they take their trains to their obs in the city. And another factor, one stressed by Dr. Willford I. King of the National Bureau of Economic Research, is that a car has come to be a social requirement of masses of people. J u s t before the Civil War a great howl was being raised because a bathtub was installed in the White House. Charges of wanton extravagance went around. But now, of course, a bathtub is a social necessity. So it is that the basic fact, that everybody very much wants a car, is a. real detriment to determine the present status of the automobile. It explains many of the failures of the wise men to prophesy correctly. It seems impossible now that anyone should seriously challenge the fact that America will have its 18 to 20 millions of cars some day. How quickly can and will this day come? Only a wild guesser would attempt to say. No one wants to go furt h e r just now than 192¾. Twelve months of that year "ace us. Can we break the records again? Will Price. Rise or Fall? There is no consensus of opinion. In last year's statement we said that we should go on breaking records; but no one expected to break the greatest year's record by 40 per cent. That changes things, for it puts up a high m~rk to shoot at. The yenr 1923 put a different complexion on the year 1024. The scientists interviewed last year were agreed upon record-breaking sales for motor cars, provided business in general was good in 1923. What they meant was that, granting no bad turn of the business cycle, sales would hold up. They say the same thing of 1924, with one or two exceptions. Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland T r u s t Company, i3 one of the financial men .who has made a detailed study of the automobile. His observations have led him to believe that 1924 will be weaker than 1923— duller. He thinks, of course, t h a t automobile buying is subject to the business cycle, j u s t as is olive buying, shoe buying, and bread buying. Let me give his mental picture from s t a r t to finish: "I think the automobile industry will sell 3 million cars in 1924." (Remember that last year it sold nearly 4 millions.) "A freneroua proportion of these cars will be for replacement of woraout machine*. It is probable that the last jrreat wave of new buyers was in 1923, that 1923 was the last banner year. W> may multiply production by tha number of years of life of the average ear. which, I think, fs about aarwi and *m Sow many cars *h*t prwftrt rn would kaep foinjr. For 1923 we get 4 by 7, or 28 million*. And we have a theoretical possible capacity now of five and one-quarter millions a year. "This is overcnthusiasm. I ike the tomobile. That means surplus. They put it into cars, I believe." As proof of this fact, Mr. Prescott submitted the fact that savings huve not risen as much as thev would have Lathtub, the unit of ownership is one j been expected to rise in view of the per family. Two bathtub< to a family implies a great economic step I r rn perfectly clear that the same thing is true of cars. People who disregard this fact are wrong. We must thin* in terms of 20 million families, not in terms of 110 million people. A i d t*1- ii.y we ha\'" -nj.-e families which have cars than hav« \t,;." So, for 1921, Colonel Ayers thinks we shall beat 1922, but not 1923. He adds that if the makers sell the 3 millions he expects them to sell, sales will be supporting an enormous industry, even though it would be a drop from Iaut year. In last year's article I quoted Raymond B. Prescott, one of the leading economists and statisticians of the motor industry, on the situation. He snid that he expected about 20 millions of cars on the road in 1930. Thut opinion he has not changed, but he had a lot to say about 1923 and 1924: "The record-breaking year of 192'! was due to several complex factors. We produced at least 3 and one-half millions of passenger cars, and the expected normal production was but two and one-half millions. In the first place, time sales were highly developed, developed in an unexpected way. Almost all dealers began to advertise that you could buy your car for u small payment down and payments even,' month for from twelve to sixteen months. For several years you have been able to buy cars on a third down and the rest in eight months. Terms have been becoming more and more liberal. And now advertising by everyone! Second-hand cars are sold that way, of course, and sold for as little as five dollars down. cott continued, "is the relatively low margin between wages and cost of iving. They have risen, but not much. He has made a brief survey of other lines. He finds that furniture and musical instrument people complain that credit collections on time payments are poor. Buyers for retail stores are inclined to complain that people do not renew goods of this type the way they used to. They can afford to be shabby inside the house so long as there is a slick-looking six in the garage. Local motor dealers say that credit collections on their time paytiK nts are excellent—could not be better. On the other hand, he finds that -used cars are more and more backing up on the dealer—and this is an old problem too—which in turn shortens the dealer's hank credit. Prescott also points out that physical saturation—using up all the available roarfl space—is a great deterrent, one which will become more and more acute "It's no fun to own a car in New York any more," he said. So this expert is pessimistic about 1'.'24 from the point of view of record breaking. He still believes in 20 million motor vehicles, just as he did a year ago, but he thinks 1924 will see only two and one-half millions of passenger cars sold. He thinks the levels of time payments opened up so in 1923 are somewhat exhausted; that wages and cost of living will come closer together, and that a lull after 192'} is inevitable. W( hnve optimists. They are coming. But let iQQ stop a moment. If Prescott is right, take a tip. If you want a car now, it is whale of a time to buy one. He thinks prices must go up rather than down; that the manu "Another great factor," Mr. Pres- facturers are making money only be cause of the tremendous volume they price of machines. The retail prices are doing. He also mentioned a surof cars are now about what they wen i plus o? used cars depressing that marin 1916, the year of lowest prices. The fket. T have no ax to grind, and neither index figures, the easiest way to make has he—take it or leave it. a comparison, are 69 for 1916, 70 foi 1923. Rut the cost of living is much higher than it was in 1916. It makes cars, in proportion to living cost, much easier to buy. The figures are , 105 for 1916 for food, clothes, rent, etc., as against 165 for 1923. T h a t means that cars, in proportion to living cost, are about 60 per cent cheaper than they were at their lowest previous low. "Now figure the relation between that cost of living and wages. (The base in each case, or 100, is 1913.) The cost of living is 165. Wages are at 220. That is a spread of 55 points, and to a great extent explains the phenomenal sales of 1923. Wage earners, tho«e who now are stepping into the ranks of new buyers, have a much greater margin than they had in any other year since the advent of the au- But perhaps these 1924 pessimists. and people like the Standard Statistics Company, who believe 1924 will be dull compared with 1923, have made a mistake. On the other hand, you have a great group who see a very' bright year. Warren M. Persons, president of the American Statistical Association and head of the Harvard Business Service, is perhaps the most well known of the optimists. He points out that we have never had a depression when interest rates did not show it— when money was easy. And money i> easy. He thinks activity is to r'«e, not to fall- He may also have in mind that n somewhat similar association of events took place about 1900. when there was a fall-off, as during this past summer. while a depression was on in Europe and then a real rise here without feel ing the foreign depression very much. foreign affairs are certainly in a critical situation, and the domestic arrangement of facts is much like those ol ]UU0. Moreover, we now have two tilings we ru-ver had be ton*. Business men know that business runs in cycles, up and down. They are more wary than they were. And they have behind them the second factor, the Federal Reserve System, which may very well be smoothing out the curve of the cycles. 20 Million Cars Coming Discussing these things with David Friday, world authority on interest rates, he admitted frankly that he did not know which way the cat might jump. "The situation is the most complex one I ever saw." If I am any judge of intonations, Professor Friday is a t heart one uf the optimists on the present situation. As a scientist he would not prophesy. As an individual he went on to point out that the farmers of this country, and he spoke particularly of the South, are in shape to buy cars this winter. He thinks the "terrible condition of the farmers," about which so much has been and is being said, is highly exaggerated. They have been in trouble, but they have not been going bankrupt in any large number. And the farm market is the biggest market for lowpriced cars. The condition of the lai-mer to a great extent determines the general prosperity of the country. As for me, my mind keeps jumping back to the question of what becomes uf the darn things—automobiles. ' You can t generalize from single instances, yet let me tell this one: I have a six- -een-year-old nephew. He hates school, .iKe so many sons of parents who are .nembers of a class of "brain workers." ihis fall his parents let him go to .vork as a day laborer instead of gong back to prep. At the end of the .irst week, with the $15 he had earned /heeling cement, he bought an automojile. He has at this date been work- • ng a month, living at home. He has tripped the chassis, had the steering gear lowered, bought the gas, finished paying for the car, put on a new tire aad some repairs made, and at this moment, wrapped in a sheepskin coat, .s putting through the cool evening air' on his way to a dance. One of his companion day laborers sold him this car. It was one of three that man owned o u t r i g h t Of eleven laborers^.on a job with which I am familiar, five of them own automobiles. Several of them own their own homes. Those men will not give up their cars if we have a depression. In hard times the cars would be worthless; they would go into a barn to await good times. And the same thing js true all over the country. So, again, I conn- back to the fact that every sign points definitely to 18 to 20 millions of cars in this country, and the reasons why are those of the anecdote just related. Even road saturation will not stop it; we are building roads at high speed too. In this year of 1924, if business is dull we won't break the 1923 record. We shall have to replace a couple of million worn-out cars, and we will add a million in the hands of new buyers—these facts being the opinion of the Standard Bureau, which e x p a t s a slower year. But if it goes the other way, as the Harvard people so far seem to think it very well may, watch that record go by the board before November, 1924. These are the reasons why. There are today from five to six million families in the United States who want cars badly. They a/e saving and skimping to get them, *fhey want cars more than they warit silk shirts, pianos, books, the theatres, or m n sirloin steak. It is probable that between two and three millions of the** families will buy cars this year. Add thoae to the two million replacements and there goes another record—four and a half to five million new cars in 1924, our biggest automobile year! The showdown, th<» «aturation point, or ratio, is still a long way of.

An lndUcraat Official. Rachel Clang started from her chair. Her face blanched, her eyes catching a glow of deep alarm. The front door tingled from a sharp rap administered by impatient knuckles. The young wife crossed to the door, her fingers closing tightly about the latch, turning the catch. "Who is there?" demanded trembling lips. "The marshal—open at once!" A hand lifted the latch, trying the door. Rachel breathed a prayer as she turned the catch again, opening the door. She knew the voice. Once upon a time Tom Woodrow had been a very dear friend, although memories of that time were not haunting her now. She had enough to do fighting the newer battles inexorable Fate had thrust upon her. 'We have trapped him at last!" exclaimed Marshal Tom as he sprang across the threshold. Rachel retreated a step, yet not trembling, the light of a fearless determination shining in her eyes. "Someone has lied Woodrow—" "Enough of that," officer ef Uncle Sam. is to be expected that you will screen him to the last, but it will not avail, since he has been traced here. Produce the rascal, Rachel, and at once." The eyes of the speaker were blazing, his thin lips tightly drawn across a ridge of strong white teeth. Small yet wiery, with the courage of a lion, no one ever doubted the prowess of the provost marshal of Wingdam. He had been selected for his well known courage rather than for any pull he had with the politicians. 'Oh, Tom, believe me—" "I believe nothing. Produce the culprit or take the consequences." The officer jingled a pair of handcuffs before her eyes. It was a cruel bit of acting for her benefit. Rachel pressed her full nether lip till a crimson stain shot down the white chin. Her small hands were pressing hard, one against the other. She was full to bursting, yet she curbed her temper. "Put those things on me if you like, you will not find Thornton." The woman suddenly thrust out her white, delicate hands. He snarled an angry laugh and pushed her aside. Opening a back door he peered into the room. Silence met him—nay, there came the sound of soft breathing. "Fetch the lamp," he growled, turning. "Ai you please/' and Rachel lifted the lamp from its rest on the small round table and brought it for use. She held it high, tossing glow into the adjoining room. full, expectant glance, then Woodrow recoiled, an imprecation blackening his lips. Brawny with power the U. S. marshal had conic to seize a bad man, a deserter from the military service of the Government What he saw was a babe deeping peacefully on a low trundle. "Perhaps," suggested the woman. "you might seize little Thornton he has his father's eyes and disposition." 'And will no doubt grow up a traitor to his country!" shrilled the officer. "Rachel, you are standing in your own light in thus defending a criminal." His tone softened, and he thrust the bracelets into hiding. If he had thought to frighten the woman Into revealing her husband's place of concealment he was disap his its One Tom He searched the little cabin home to the last nook. "I trust you are satisfied?" The young wife put the question when at length Woodrow stood in the front room, aching miserably with disappointment. The deserter had been shadowed here. The eyes of sleepless men had not been removed from the house since Thornton Clang was seen to enter, and yet he was not to be found. The ,four helpers outside waited and wondered. Woodrow flung himself into a chair, removed his hat and wiped his sweating brow with his sleeve. A slight twitching of the woman's lips showed the depth of her satisfaction. "Rachel, why have you done this?" he demanded. You know—" "I know my duty as a wife and mother." "Very good; but the country has demands that every loyal citizen is in duty bound to satisfy. Your husband is a draft-evader, or rather a plain deserter, since he has been called by Government." "I am not denying that, Tom Woodrow." His features twitched at the familiar pronouncement of his name. He put forth his hand, then suddenly withdrew it. He was thinking of another time when Rachel, young and happy as a child, had given him a promise true. Something of a trivial nature came between them. He had sorrowed over it, had hoped for a reconciliation—instead Thornton Clang came between and his bright dream was shattered. His keen gaze sought to read her face, which was in shadow, holding an inscrutable expression. Her loyalty to her husband was undeniable. He cast aside his gentler feelings and straightened to his work. "I am honestly sorry for Thornton," said he " b u t ^ " "But you persist in persecuting me because I refuse to desert him in his hour of trouble." Her lip trembled; there came a softening of the strained white face; her eyes drooped and quivered. He saw it all and was touched. "It is duty—Government—loyalty! Even the love of a wife ought to give way to the demands of one's country, Rachel. To me it seems, a monstrous idea, this placing of family and home above one's country. I am convinced that you have not stopped to think of these things." Her bronze-gold head fell low, an arm, full and rounded, pressing across the misty eyes. "What would our country amount to if all her sons deserted her in the hour of need? You must know that we are now engaged in a struggle for national existence; a wrong move now and all is lost, all that Washington and his patriot army fought for in the Revolution. Think of it! No man likes to face bullets, to meet death on the field of battle. Yet were this not done our American Union would be a rope of sand; the states would become Mexicanized, at war continually' even our homes would not be safe from ravage and plunder. Once I thought better of Thornton Clang. This outburst of treason in the South has revealed the true hearts of our citizens, and he has, in sorrow let me say it, proven false. What would old Dan Perkins say of such a recreant son-in-law? Happy for him that he did not live to see this day." The speaker,leaned closer to the bowed head, the sloping shoulders Seneath which were shaking with sobs He sat, grimly smiling. Rachel was "Hello, Tom, what's doing?" called a voice. The one thus importuned lay apparently dead on the cabin floor. Although Thornton stood dazed, the wife was instantly alert. She sprang to her feet and grasped her husband's arm. "You are in danger, she said. "The house is surrounded—" "The vile abolition dogs!" he grrated, "let them come!' "You must go back to the old noor —there is no time to lose." "I'll not go." He displayed a knife. "I can die here as well as in a Federal dungeon. Let the hounds who hunt me beware. My grandfather fought the Tories and British; I'll meet their descendants here and now, Thornton was again wild. His eyes were bloodshot. Rachel feared for his sanity. The pounding on the door continued; the men outside were becoming impatient and suspicious. She laid a hand on her husband's arm. "Come, Thornton," she said firmly, "you must not use violence;—" He flung off her touch with an angry cry. "I'll tell you how it is, Rachel," he reasoned, "there's a lot of Canucks in this town telling me what is my duty in this war. Who and what aiv they to dictate to a free-born American citizen? Scum of foreign cities, They pose as loyal Yankees! What mockery! The true American knows his duty without being coached by these Canadian hell-hounds; let them touch me if they dare!" The man flung himself into the front room, white with passion. (To be continued.) o Country Flooded by Bogus $10 Notes j Chicago—Counterfeit $10 Federal reserve notes, of a face value of more than $500,000, are being circulated between the Atlantic coast and Rocky mountains, according to Federal secret service men who recently unearthed 900 of the bogus bills in an underground cache near Chicago. Five persons, including a woman, have been arrested in St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul, and government operatives are searching in every middle western city for the source of the money. The bills are silk threaded, bear a portrait of Andrew Jackson, are marked series 7-G, with the number D 333 under the seal and al- j though slightly off color on the re- I verse side, are said to be hard to de-1 tect. I The buried bills were found by detectives in a wooded grove close to a j roadhouse, after their location was! told by Homer Sweeney, arrested with his wife, Mae Sweeney, after they had attempted to circulate some of the notes in St. Louis and St. Paul, accordo r t h e l u r i o u r a s s ' I i l a n t 1 ! ^ t o detectives. Concealed in a gar as he understood them. The strife had begun with Clang denouncing the hotheads on both sides. When the draft came he was one of its victims and had refused to enter the service. Wherefore he was plainly a public enemy, the legitimate prey of all officials, both civic and military. Woodrow stood upon bis feet. His hand fell away, a dark look sweeping across his face. He pitied the wife —for the man he feJt only the utmost contempt, "What's doing?" asked a voice. "Nothing," returned the marshal, waving the speaker aside. And then he closed the door, turning down the catch. When again he turned about the face of Rachel Clang was uplifted to his, great sorrow and regret commingled there. He went quickly to her side, caught her hands, holding them tightly. The old feeling that had caused him to visit the Perkins ranch in other days was now strong upon him. He drew the slender form to a standing posture and looked down into her eyes. "You are repenting," he said almost fiercely. There was visible a wild joy in his gaze; She struggled and quivered like a trapped bird. "Let me go," she huskily articulated. "No, Rachel, no. I am master now. That coward husband is not a fit protector for such as you. A traitor has no right to have either home or wife—" A child's cry broke in upon his rash declaiming. The man felt suddenly abashed. He refused, however, to release the woman. "Let me go, let me go, Tom," she pleaded, faintly struggling. "No, Rachel, no," he answered, half laughing. "Thornton is crying—" "Let the babe cry, it will do him good. As for you, woman, you must see that there is only one thing to do—give up the traitor to the law." "Please, Tom, let me go now. I must take up little Thornton." "A kiss for the sake of old days first, Rachel!" He drew her face upward, bending down his own to meet it. She had ceased to struggle. A red stain dashed over cheek and brow; even down to the white neck Panting, she lay helpless. From somewhere shot a human form. Like a catamount it fell upon the head of the man, tore the two apart, beat the marshal down, bleeding to the floor. A human tornado had been let loose in that room. Woodrow uttered a groan as hands snatched the handcuffs from the officer's pocket and hurled them with sickening thuds against the head of the owner. Wild with rage the avenger seemed wholly devoid of reason. "Stop! Stop!" screamed Rachel, laying hold WEEK OF FEBRUARY 17 The weather during the first half of the week beginning February 17 will be generally unsettled, with showers or snow flurries more or less general in Michigan. There will be some periods of moderately strong winds in various parts of the state. Temperatures during most of the period from Sunday to Wednesday are expected to be mild for the season. Temperatures will fall for a brief period immediately after the middle of the week, but will again rise about Friday as the result of the falling barometer. Winds will also increase in force at this time. During latter part of week snow flurries are to be expected in many sections, followed by change to colder. Nature Breathes; Storm Coming Storms and fair weather are the • result of Nature's breathing, sometimes deep breaths, other times just quiet inhaling. The more sudden the breathing, the more severe the storm. Sometimes Nature gets very excited and breathes very rapidly, then we have a series of storms. Nature breathes automatically just as people do and more or less regularly. When Nature exhales, then we have long spells of pleasant weather. A quick breath brings a storm: sometimes she holds her breath for a long time. Nature is the Zodiacal Man. By studying this Man one can learn how he breathes and when, and by so doing is able to predict meteorological disturbances. There is really more to weather than the mere statement that the sun heats the earth's atmosphere. State* Show Sharp Winter Wheat Cut Chicago.—Washington, alone of the wheat-producing states, reports an increase in acreage of winter wheat for the 1924 crop, the others showing marked decreases, tabulations disclose. Washington reports an increase in the 1923 sowing of about 10 per cent. Other state* show decreases as follows: Kansas, 13 per cent Missouri, 25 per cent; Nebraska, 12.5 per cent; Michigan, 10 per cent; Texas, 27 per cent; California, 15 per cent; Illinois, 17 per cent; Idaho, about 10 per cent; Oklahoma, 8 per cent; Ohio, 6 per cent; Indiana, 13 per cent, and Colorado, 18 per cent. Oregon and Utah report almost as much acreage as the preceding year. Chicago Is a Great Potato Center STATE USES MUCH SODATOL Approximately half a million pounds of Sodatol, war salvage explosive made available to American farmers for agricultural blasting last summer, has been placed in Michigan during the year, according to figures released by L. F. Livingston, land clearing specialist with the M. A. C. extension division, who has been in charge of sodatol distribution for the state. Chicago is a great consuming and distributing center for the northern potato belt. That city averaged yearly unloads of 11,725 cars from 1917 to 1921, about 60 per cent as many as New York, although over one-third of the car-lot arrivals at Chicago were not unloaded but were transhipped to other markets. The consumption of potatoes in Chicago increased from 9,600 cars in 1917 to 12,477 in 1918, decreased slightly to 12,158 in 1919, and to 11,302 in 1920, but again increased to 13,077 in 1921, to 13,912 in 1922, and made further gains in 1923. Over three-fourths of Chicago's supplies come from Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Idaho and Virginia. These states contributed 8,911 cars of the 1921 total, and 10,324 cars of the 1922 total. The very early supply is largely from Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Texas averaged about 400 cars per year to Chicago, but was supplanted by southeastern states in 1920, 1921 and 1922 on account of unfavorable early crop conditions in the Central Southwest.

Her head was uplifted now, although the sighs and tears were scarcely abated. A flush darkened his bronzed cheeks. He bit his lip and muttered an angry word. Her obstinacy was exasperating. Old Dan Perkins had been a fierce pa triot; he was dead and thus a clash between two obstinate men had been avoided. No one knew better than Rachel how fierce had been her father's pat* riotism.

When this wild human tiger would have beaten in the face of the fallen man with his heavy liret the woman sprang to the rescue, her slender hand pressing him backward, her white face, with a tiny red .^tain across the delicate chin, working with intense emotion. "No, no, Thornton!" she protested in a piercing undertone. "He turned fiercely, his eyes blazing, his slender yet musclar frame trembling from sheer passion. "Rachael, he deserves death*—" "No, no, add not murder to your other sins, Thornton Clang!" For one long minute the two faced and defied each other—this delicate woman and her enraged, mind-wrecked husband. His lips parted, forming a curl of hideous anger. His teeth gleamed as he said: "Rachel, what is this man to you?" "Nothing—absolutely nothing." He was answered. She had drawn away, and was seemingly about to faint.

B114 Science assures ua that there is a definite limit to the lowest conceivable temperature, and that this may be placed with conceivable accuracy at 49 degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale. Many experiments, extending over a long period of years, were necessary to attain this knowledge. Liquid air, with its 312 degrees below zero, was a great advance on previous records, although still over 100 degrees above this absolute zero. Liquid hydrogen, at minus 422 degrees, or 37 absolute, was a still greater advance, and when this was frozen into solid hydrogen "ice" at 432 degrees below, or 27 degrees absolute, it seemed as if science had gone as far as it could in this direction.

"It's a pity it's a love story," he said to the author, "because the only thing I can draw really well is a charging rhinoceros," 'That's easy," replied the author, and turning to the passage where "he quailed before her proud glance," he inserted a few words and handed the MS. to the artist, who read: "He, who had often faced a charging rhinoceros, unmoved, now quailed • • • »» And so the picture appeared, wih the wards, "He • • • faced a charging rhinoceros.'*—London Daily News. wife.

The sound of the infant's wail fetched the mother back to life. She withdrew from her husband's clasp: he clung, however, and together the twain went to the low trundle and looked down upon the child. Rachel knelt weeping. The stalwart man, a hunted fugitive, bowed over his son and heir, saying not a word. The veins, knotted and full, swelled his heated brow—his hands as if pleading for mercy, to the skirt of the woman. She aid not look up; the child occupied her thoughts. She soothed it with a low pur of words; soon it was silenced and sleeping. All this was but a brief passage of time. Someone thumped on the doer.

P u r e b r e d B e e f C a t t l e Reports were made on 9,534 purebred beef cattle. In most instances the animals sold at auction brought more than those sold privately, but the bulk of each breed was sold at private sale. The survey shows that a number of purebred bulls were sold at a lower price than they might have brought had they been marketed as steers at the same weight. A number of breeders reported that they might have brought had they been marketed as steers at the same weight. A number of breeders reported that they were n6t offering anything for sale, but were buying all the outstanding individuals in their vicinity. Average prices of all ages and both sexes for both 1922 and the first half of 1923 are shown in the following table: N u m b e r S o l d 1922 Aberdeen Angus 1443 Hereford (Homed) 5,823 Hereford (Polled) 411 Red Polled 434 Shorthorn 4621 A v e r a g e P r i c e 1922 Aberdeen Angus $104 Hereford Horned ) 123 Hereford (Polled) 129 Red Polled 83 Shorthorn 129 The highest prices reported were: Aberdeen Angus bull $1070, female $1550; Hereford bull $2,500, female $1050; polled Hereford bull $600, female $255; Red Polled bull $305, female $1050; Shorthorn bull $2000, female $1,500. A small number of each breed brought $250 or more. The number selling for less than $50 were Aberdeen Angus 220, ford 587, Polled Hereford 38 Polled 52, and Shorthorn 380. Purebred Dairy Cattle Of 6612 dairy cattle sold, brought over $250 each, and 698 sold for less than $50. Nearly two-thirds of the animals reported sold ranged from $50 to $250 each. Average prices of all age both sexes were as follows: Number Sold 1922 Ayrshire 5 0 9 Guernsey 2 1 6 0 Holstein ,. 2797 •Jersey 1975 Brown *"iss - 157 1923 1226 4750 350 289 2919 1923 $110 114 118 88 11 1923 $329 221 394 229 than twice as many animals were old at private sale as at auction.

The demand was largely for mares and stallions over two years old. The survey as a whole indicates that the horse breeding business has been greatly curtailed due to lack of demand, the department says. Purebred Sheep Of 8,498 purebred sheep reported old, only 31 brought $150 or more, v h e r e a s 6,192 sold for $25 or less.

The new film is the result of co-operation between the Forest Service, the Stat Forester of Connecticut and the Yale University School of Forestry. The story is built around Roger Corbin, who returns from college to find that the last of the farm woodlot has been cut and sold to pay for his education and that the prosperity of former days had vanished with the timber. Discouraged, he plans to leave the farm of his forefathers. A wealthy neighbor, however, points the way to success for the young man and interests him in the development of a state forest. Roger's endeavors win him a partnership in a forest products concern and the hand of his lady fair. The climax comes when the heroine, thrown from her horse in n roarling forest fire, is rescued, uncon- 1923 from the flames by Roger Corbin.

Michigan's Reindeer 1st Year's Loss, Heavy Detroit—In March, 1922, there were imported into Michigan 60 Norweigian reindeer, aaya the Michigan Investor. T t e y were purchased by the state department of conservation not so much as game animals, but in an attempt to establish in the cutover areas a food animal capable of securing ample forage without the aid of man. After experiments with this herd in two different sections of the lower peninsula, it was decided to place them permanently in what is known as t h e Lake Superior forest reserve, approximately 26 miles north and east of Newberry, in Luce county. This now is their home. In Jane, 1922, 26 calves were born. They are the first reindeer born (excluding Alaska) in the United States. Again in J u n e of this year an addition of 11 calves was noted. Today the herd numbers less than 40. Adding to the original herd of 60 the increase of 37 calves, would give 97 reindeer, with plains of the north much to their liking and nourishment. This is their only food and occurs in abundance throughout their refuge. Scientifically it is known as Cladonia rangifernia, a true reindeer moss or lichen. The reindeer experiment can not be counted a failure or puccess until this Michigan produced herd is given a chance to establish itself. -o~ — • Will Help to Make the Farm Club Program Two New Pictwres Added Uncle Sam's Movie to Boy and Girl Champions Shown in New Picture Famous scenic wonders of the National Capital are shown on the motion picture screen in a new United States Department of Agriculture film, "Seeing Washington — with Champions of Boys' and Girls' Agricultural and Home Making Clubs." The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, White House, Capitol, Library of Congress, Pan- American Union Building, Continental Hall, Mt.

The motion pictures describe their visit Lansing—The pottery industry in Michigan has made almost uninterrupted growth since 1891» in spite of the fact that no deposits of china or ball clays are found in this state. Since 100K the growth has been rapid, increasing over 4,054 per cent in 12 years. The main increase occurred during- the last four years. In 18!*'.' the total value of the pottery output was $29,741; in 11)08, $62,409;' in 1919, J2.09fi.H74. an increase of $120,4:58. or fi.OO per cent over HUK, and $2,55)2.625 in l'*20, an increase over 1'»1!» of $1«»5,75l or 2:5..5 per cent. The increases were largely due to the greatly increased output of porcelain electrical and sanitary supplies and porcelain and decorated wares. The products are chiefly porcelain electrical supplies, sanitary ware and white ware, "white granite" ware and flower pots. Clays uswl for flower pot manufacture are obtained here. Clay pipes, novelty ware, decorated ware, flower pots, insulators, spark plugs, tumbling jars, crucibles are among the pottery products. An Ionia ln>m .speciali*es in- flower pots exclusively.

A third of the land area in Michigan has been repeatedly cut and humid over and is now producing little or nothing in taxes. The freight bill on forest products now imported into Michigan is equal to a third of the state tax levy; about $15 per M. feet, board measure, on about a billion feet of lumber alone. Complete figures for 1921-22 show that 1,446 cattle intended for breeding or dairy purposes were imported into the estate. In the same period we imported 3,4 73 horses, 92 swine, 164.931 sheep. Last year 37 counties reported 2,- 283 sheep killed and 125 injured by dogs; 50 counties reported damages paid for injuries and losses to livestock, principally sheep, totalling $33,- 772.46. There are upwards of 5.000 registered pharmacists in the state.

CHAPTER L As ladaecrect Official. Rachel Clang started from her chair. Her face blanched, her eyes catching a glow of deep alarm. The He searched the little cabin home to the last nook. "I trust you are satisfied?" The young wife put the question when at length Woodrow stood in front door tingled from a sharp r a p t h e f r o n t r o o m > aching miserably administered by impatient knuckles. The young wife crossed to the door, with disappointment. The deserter had been shadowed here. The eyes her fingers closing tightly about the I of sleepless men had not been removed from the house since Thornton Clang was seen to enter, and to you, Mr. broke in the "Of course it latch, turning the catch. "Who is there?" demanded trembling lips. "The marshal—open at once!" A hand lifted the latch, trying the door. Rachel breathed a prayer as she turned the catch again, opening the door. She knew the voice. Once upon a time Tom Woodrow had been a very dear friend, although memories of that time were not haunting her now. She had enough to do fighting the newer battles inexorable Fate had thrust upon her. 'We have trapped him at last!" exclaimed Marshal Tom as he sprang across the threshold. Rachel retreated a step, yet not trembling, the light of a fearless determination shining in her eyes. "Someone has lied Woodrow—" "Enough of that," officer »f Uncle Sam. is to be expected that you will screen him to the last, but it will not avail, since he has been traced here. Produce the rascal, Rachel, and at once." The eyes of the speaker were blazing, his thin lips tightly drawn across a ridge of strong white teeth. Small yet wiery, with the courage of a lion, no one ever doubted the prowess of the provost marshal of Wingdam. He had been selected for his well known courage rather than for any pull he had with the politicians. 'Oh, Tom, believe me—" "I believe nothing. Produce the culprit or take the consequences." The officer jingled a pair of handcuffs before her eyes. It was a cruel bit of acting for her benefit. Rachel pressed her full nether lip till a crimson stain shot down the white chin. Her small hands were pressing hard, one against the other. She was full to bursting, yet she curbed her temper. "Put those things on me if you like, you will not find Thornton." The woman suddenly thrust out her white, delicate hands. He snarled an angry laugh and pushed her aside. Opening a back door he peered into the room. Silence met him—nay, there came the sound of soft breathing. "Fetch the lamp," he growled, turning. "As you please^'* and Rachel lifted the lamp from its rest on the small round table and brought it for use. She held it high, tossing glow into the adjoining room. full, expectant glance, then Woodrow recoiled, an imprecation blackening his lips. Brawny with power the U. S. marshal had come to seize a bad man, a deserter from the military service of the Governm e n t What he saw was a babe sleeping peacefully on a low trundle. "Perhaps," suggested the woman, "you might seize little Thornton he has his father's eyes and disposition." 'Ana will no doubt grow up a traitor t o his country!" shrilled the officer. "Rachel, you are standing in your own light in thus defending a criminal." His tone softened, and he thrust the bracelets into hiding. If he had thought to frighten the woman into revealing her husband's place of concealment he was disap his its One Tom yet he was not to be found. The J.our helpers outside waited and wondered. Woodrow flung himself into a chair, removed his hat and wiped his sweating brow with his sleeve. A slight twitching of the woman's lips showed the depth of her satisfaction. "Rachel, why have you done this?" he demanded. You know—" "I know my duty as a wife and mother." "Very good; but the country has demands that every loyal citizen is in duty bound to satisfy. Your husband is a draft-evader, or rather a plain deserter, since he has been called by Government." "I am not denying that, Tom Woodrow." His features twitched at the fa-, miliar pronouncement of his name.] He put forth his hand, then sud-l denly withdrew it. He was thinking h a } f J , a u g h i n e \ of another time when Rachel, young and happy as a child, had given him a promise true. Something of a trivial nature came between them. He had sorrowed over it, had hoped for a reconciliation—instead Thornton Clang came between and his bright dream was shattered. His keen gaze sought to read her face, which was in shadow, holding an inscrutable expression. Her loyalty to her husband was undeniable. He cast aside his gentler feelings and straightened to his work. "I am honestly sorry for Thornton," said he "but—" "But you persist in persecuting me because I refuse to desert him in his hour of trouble." Her lip trembled; there came a softening of the strained white face; her eyes drooped and quivered. He saw it all and was touched. "It is duty—Government—loyalty! Even the love of a wife ought to give way to the demands of one's country, Rachel. To me it monstrous idea, this placing of fam ily and home above one's country. I am convinced that you have not stopped to think of these things." Her bronze-gold head fell low, an arm, full and rounded, pressing across the misty eyes. "What would our country amount to if all her sons deserted her in the hour of need? You must know that we are now engaged in a struggle for national existence; a wrong move now and all is lost, all that Washington and his patriot army fought for in the Revolution. Think of it! No man likes to face bullets, to meet death on the field of battle. Yet were this not done our American Union would be a rope of sand; the states would become Mexicanized, at war continually1 even our homes would not be safe from ravage and nlunder. Once I thought better of Thornton Clang. This outburst of treason in the South has revealed the true hearts of our citizens, and he has, in sorrow let me say it, proven false. What would old Dan Perkins say of such a recreant son-in-law? Happy for him that he did not live to see this day." The speaker . leaned closer to the bowed head, the sloping shoulders Seneath which were shaking with sobs He sat, grimly smiling. Rachel was as he understood them. The strife had begun with Clang denouncing the hotheads on both sides. When the draft came he was one of its victims and had refused to enter the service. Wherefore he was plainly a public enemy, the legitimate prey of all officials, both civic and military. Woodrow stood upon bis feet. His hand fell away, a dark look sweeping across his face. He pitied the wife —for the man he felt only the utmost contempt "What's doing?" asked a voice. "Nothing," returned the marshal, waving the speaker aside. And then he closed the door, turning down the catch. When again he turned about the face of Rachel Clang was uplifted to his, great sorrow and regret commingled there. He went quickly to her side, caught her hands, holding them tightly. The old feeling that had caused him to visit the Perkins ranch in other days was now strong upon him. He drew the slender form to a standing posture and looked down into her eyes. "You are repenting," he said almost fiercely. There was visible a wild joy in his gaze. She struggled and quivered like a trapped bird. "Let me go," she huskily articulated. "No, Rachel, no. I am master now. That coward husband is not a fit protector for such as you. A traitor has no right to have either home or wife—" "Hello, Tom, what's doing?" called a voice. The one thus importuned lay apparently dead on the cabin floor. Although Thornton stood dazed, the wife was instantly alert. She sprang to her feet and grasped her husband's arm. "You are in danger, she said. "The house is surrounded—" "The vile abolition dogs!" he grated, "let them come!' "You must go back to the old noor —there is no time to lose." "I'll not go." He displayed a knife. "I can die here as well as in a Federal dungeon. Let the hounds who hunt me beware. My grandfather fought the Tories and British; I'll meet their descendants here and now, Thornton was again wild. His eyes were bloodshot. Rachel feared for his sanity. The pounding on the door continued; the men outside were becoming impatient and suspicious. She laid a hand on her husband's arm. "Come, Thornton," she said firmly, "you must not use violence;—" He flung off her touch witli an angry cry. "I'll tell you how it is, Rachel," he reasoned, "there's a lot of Canucks in this town telling me what is my duty in this war. Who and what ar»i they to dictate to a free-born American citizen? Scum of foreign cities, They pose as loyal Yankees! What mockery! The true American knows his duty without being coached by A child's cry broke in upon his these Canadia,n hell-hounds; let them rash declaiming. The man felt sud- louf.h m e l f l h e y d a r e ! denly abashed. He refused, however, to release the woman. "Let me go, let me go, Tom," she pleaded, faintly struggling. "No, Rachel, no," he answered, "Thornton is crying—" "Let the babe cry, it will do him good. As for you, woman, you must see that there is only one thing to do—give up the traitor to the law." "Please, Tom, let me go now. I must take up little Thornton." "A kiss for the sake of old days first, Rachel!" He drew her face upward, bending down his own to meet it. She had oeased to struggle. A red stain dashed over cheek and brow; even down to the white neck Panting, she lay helpless. From somewhere shot a human form. Like a catamount it fell upon the head of the man, tore the two apart, beat the marshal down, bleeding to the floor. A human tornado had been let loose in that room. Woodrow uttered a groan as hands snatched the handcuffs from the officer's pocket and hurled them with sickening thuds against the head of the owner. Wild with rage the seems a a_v.»e_n„g_e r seemed wholly devoid of „ , ~ ; reason. "Stop! Stop!" screamed Rachel, The man flung himself into front room, white with passion. (To be continued.) o the Country Flooded by Bogus $10 Notes Chicago—Counterfeit $10 Federal reserve notes, of a face value of more than $500,000, are being circulated between the Atlantic coast and Rocky mountains, according to Federal secret service men who recently unearthed 900 of the bogus bills in an underground cache near Chicago. Five persons, including a woman, have been arrested in St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul, and government operatives are searching in every middle western city for the source of the money. The bills are silk threaded, bear a portrait of Andrew Jackson, are marked series 7-G, with the number D 333 under the seal and although slightly off color on the reverse side, are said to be hard to detect. The buried bills were found by detectives in a wooded grove close to a roadhouse, after their location was told by Homer Sweeney, arrested with his wife, Mae Sweeney, after they had attempted to circulate some of the WEEK OF FEBRUARY 17 The weather during the first half of the week beginning February 17 will be generally unsettled, with showers or snow flurries more or less general in Michigan. There will be some periods of moderately strong winds in various parts of the state. Temperatures during most of the period from Sunday to Wednesday are expected to be mild for the season. Temperatures will fall for a brief period immediately after the middle of the week, but will again rise about Friday as the result of the falling barometer. Winds will also increase in force at this time. During latter part of week snow flumes are to be expected in many sections, followed by change to colder. Nature Breathes; Storm Coming Storms and fair weather are the result of Nature's breathing, sometimes deep breaths, other times just quiet inhaling. The more sudden the breathing, the more severe the storm. Sometimes Nature gets very excited and breathes very rapidly, then we have a series of storms. Nature breathes automatically just as people do and more or less regularly. When Nature exhales, then we have long spells of pleasant weather. A quiclc breath brings a storm: sometimes she holds her breath for a long time. Nature is the Zodiacal Man. By studying this Man one can learn how he breathes and when, and by so doing is able to predict meteorological disturbances. There is really more to weather than the mere statement that the sun heats the earth's atmosphere. STATE USES MUCH SODATOL Approximately half a million pounds of Sodatol, war salvage explosive made available to American farmers for agricultural blasting last summer, has been placed in Michigan during the year, according to figures released by L.

Oregon and Utah report almost as much acreage as the preceding year. o • - Chicago Is a Great x Potato Center Chicago is a great consuming and distributing center for the northern potato belt That city averaged yearly unloads of 11,725 cars from 1917 to 1921, about 60 per cent as many as New York, although over one-third of the car-lot arrivals at Chicago were not unloaded but were transhipped to other markets. The consumption of potatoes in Chicago increased from 9,600 cars in 1917 to 12,477 in 1918, decreased slightly to 12,158 in 1919, and to 11,302 in 1920, but again increased to 13,077 in 1921, to 13,912 in 1922, and a a d e further gains in 1923. Over three-fourths of Chicago's supplies come from Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Idaho and Virginia. These states contributed 8,911 cars of the 1921 total, and 10,324 cars of the 1922 total. The very early supply is largely from Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Texas averaged about 400 cars per year to Chicago, but was supplanted by southeastern states in 1920, 1921 and 1922 on account of unfavorable early crop conditions in the Central Southwest. o Father—How is it that I discover you kissing my daughter?

"Rachael, he deserves death—" "No, no, add not murder to your other sins, Thornton Clang!" For one long minute the two faced and defied each other—this delicate woman and her enraged, mind-wrecked husband. His lips parted, forming a curl of hideous anger, gleamed as he said: "Rachel, what is this man to you?" "Nothing—absolutely nothing." He was answered. She had drawn away, and was seemingly about to faint. The husband's quick perception divided the situation. He bent to hor, his wife, and drew her into the fold of his arms. For a long minute she lay there sobbing drily. He was tronger now, assured of the full love and loyalty of his beautiful young wife. A sharp little cry from the adjoining room recalled all the wandering faculties of the man.

The sound of the infant's wail fetched the mother back to life.

Absolute Zero Still Puzzles the Scientists Science assures us that there is a definite limit to the lowest conceivable temperature, and that this may be placed with conceivable accuracy at 49 degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale. Many experiments, extending over a long period of years, were necessary to attain this knowledge. Liquid air, with its 312 degrees below zero, was a great advance on previous His teeth | y ^ ^ ^ j ^ although still over 100 degrees above this absolute zero. Liquid hydrogen, at minus 422 degrees, or 37 absolute, was a still greater advance, and when this was frozen into solid hydrogen "ice" at 432 degrees below, or 27 degrees absolute, it seemed as if science had gone as far as it could in this direction. But not so long ago the rare gas helium was liquefied at minus 41 degrees. When this was boiled under reduced pressure a temperature of minus 454 was reached, or only five degrees above absolute zero. Slightly lower temperatures can undoubtedly be reached, but it is said that, even with the most refined methods, there is little likelihood of our ever attaining absolute zero. o Folly Illustrated There was once an artist who was illustrating a novel.

Department Survey on Purebred Livestock Prices the Past Year Reveal Some Most Interesting Figures for Livestock Breeders Washington—Average prices of purebred Shorthorn and Hereford cattle for the first six months of 1923 were somewhat lower than in 1922, whereas the Red Polled and Aberdeen Angus were slightly higher, according to a survey recently completed. Prices of purebred dairy cattle show considerable variation, being practically steady for Holstein and Brown Swiss, higher for Jerseys and lower for Ayrshire and Guernseys. The purebred draft horse market showed little activity. Average sale prices of purebred sheep also showed variations, the Dorset, Hampshire and Shropshire breeds being about steady, with Lincoln, Oxford and Rambouillet showing declines, and Southdown, Romney, Cheviot and Cotswold showing advances. Purebred Beef Cattle Reports were made on 9,534 purebred beef cattle. In most instances the animals sold at auction brought more than those sold privately, but the bulk of each breed was sold at private sale. The survey shows that a number of purebred bulls were sold at a lower price than they might have brought had they been marketed as steers at the same weight. A number of breeders reported t h a i they might have brought had they been marketed as steers at the same weight. A number of breeders reported that they were not offering anything for sale, but were buying all the outstanding individuals in their vicinity. Average prices of all ages and both sexes for both 1922 and the first half of 1923 are shown in the following table: Number Sold 1922 1923 Aberdeen Angus 1443 1226 Hereford (Horned) 5,823 4750 Hereford (Polled) 411 350 Red Polled 434 289 Shorthorn 4621 2919 Average Price 1922 1923 Aberdeen Angus $104 $110 Hereford Horned ) 123 114 Hereford (Polled) 129 118 Red Polled 83 88 Shorthorn 129 11 The highest prices reported were: Aberdeen Angus bull $1070, female $1550; Hereford bull $2,500, female $1050; polled Hereford bull $600, female $255; Red Polled bull $305, female $1050; Shorthorn bull $2000, female $1,500. A small number of each breed brought $250 or more. The number selling for less than $50 were Aberdeen Angus 220, H e r e | ford 587, Polled Hereford 38, Red Polled 52, and Shorthorn 380. Purebred Dairy Cattle Of 6612 dairy cattle sold, 1680 brought over $250 each, and 698 sold for less than $50. Nearly two-thirds of the animals reported sold ranged from $50 to $250 each. Average prices of all ages and both sexes were as follows: Number Sold 1922 1923 Ayrshire 5°9 2 T 1 Guernsey 2160 1753 Holstein 2797 3406? • Jersey 1975 972 Brown Swiss 157 210 Average Price 1922 1923 Ayrshire $182 $130 Guernsey 273 234 Holstein 187 188 Jersey 187 228 Brown Swiss 124 121 The highest prices received by )reeds were: Ayrshire bull $300, female $1700; 3rown Swiss bull $300, female $350; iCuernsey bull $7500, female $7500; iolstein bull $2008; female $2850; Jersey bull $2500, female $6000. ? or all breeds animals sold at auction iveraged higher in prices than those old privately, the difference ranging fi-om $32 to $265 per animal. More than twice as many animals were old at private sale as at auction. Purebred Draft H o r i e i Of 233 purebred draft horses sold, 88 brought above $150 each. More han half the breeders reporting stated they had not sold an animal durng the period January 1 to Julv 1, 3923. Average Price 1922 1923 Belgian $259 $329 Clydesdale 131 221 Percheron 235 394 Shire 124 229 Top prices received were: Belgian rtallion $2400, mare $800; Clydesdale stallion $700, mare $550; Percheron stallion $2100, mare $1000; Shire stallion $500, mare $225. The demand was largely for mares and stallions over two years old. The survey as a whole indicates that the horse breeding business has been greatly curtailed due to lack of demand, the department says. Purebred Sheep Of 8,498 purebred sheep reported old, only 31 brought $150 or more, whereas 6,192 sold for $25 or less. The number and average prices of mrebred sheep by breeds for the first half of 1923 compared with the enire year 1922 were as follows: Number Sold 1922 1923 Cheviot 231 102 :otswold 270 167 Dorset 260 391 Hampshire iGtfX) 14 3 31 Lincoln 153 97| Oxford 578 380 Rambouillet 9362 5181 Romney 486 38 Shropshire 861 787 Southdown 389 274 Average Price 1922 1923 Cheviot $29 $34( Cotswold 19 28, Dorset 19 19, Hampshire 29 29 Lincoln 20 17, Oxford 23 17; Rambouillet 34 17; Romney 24 27, Shropshire 25 25 Southdown 27 31 Highest prices by breeds were: Cheviot, male $100, female $100; Cotswold, male $200, female $100; Dorset, male $35; female $25; Oxford, male $100, female $80; Rambouillet, male $800, female $6.r>; Romney, male $75; female $40; Shropshire, male $125, female $75; Southdown, male $100, female $50; Hampshire, male $250, female $90; Lincoln, male $40, female $25. Maybe This 7/ Help Balance the Load, Mister Counts? of Aa.»nc»n F*rm Uuiatu KedmtiOD Michigan's Reindeer 1st Year's Loss, Heavy Detroit—In March, 1922, there were imported into Michigan 60 Norweigian reindeer, says the Michigan Investor. They were purchased by the state department of conservation not so much as game animals, but in an attempt to establish in the cutover areas a food animal capable of securing ample forage without the ard of man. After experiments with this herd in two different sections of the lower peninsula, it was decided to place them permanently in what is known as the Lake Superior forest reserve, approximately 26 miles north and east of Newberry, in Luce county. This now 1$ their home. In June, 1922, 26 calves were bom. They a r e the first reindeer born (excluding Alaska) in the United States. Again in June of this year an addition of 11 calves was noted. Today the herd numbers less than 40. Adding to the original herd of 60 the increase of 37 calves, would give 97 reindeer, with a herd of less than 40 a t p r e s e n t Of the present herd perhaps not over five of the original animals are alive. ] Pneumonia, unfavorable climatic conditions and the warble fly, exacted their tolL However, most significant is the fact t h a t 36 of the present herd are the calves born in Michigan. Those of two years ago appear not only larger than their parents, but are in excellent condition physically. But one calf has been lost during th# twoyear period and t h a t through accid e n t I t is reasonable to believe t h a t the I f k U f a a - b o r n reindeer will provide the foundation stock for successful caattaaaiiea of this a x p e r i m e a t Not only a n they acclimated, b a t they have foaad the moss of the jack pine plains of the north much to their liking and nourishment. This is their only food and occurs in abundance throughout their refuge. Scientifically it is known as Cladonia rangifernia, a true reindeer moss or lichen. The reindeer experiment can not be counted a failure or success until this Michigan produced herd is given a chance to establish itself -o- Will Help to Make the Farm Club Program i Two New Picture* Added to Uncle Sam's Movie +• Needs for State Timbers Shown in Motion Picture The need for establishment of state forests, to help meet timber needs of the future and prevent a timer famine forms the theme for a new United States Department of Agriculture motion picture, "Trees of Tomorrow." The new film is the result of co-operation between the Forest Service, the Stat Forester of Connecticut and the Yale University School of Forestry. The story is built around Roger Corbin, who returns from college to find that the last of the farm woodlot has been cut and sold to pay for his education and that the prosperity of former days had vanished with the timber. Discouraged, he plans to leave the farm of his forefathers. A wealthy neighbor, however, points the way to success for the young man and interests him in the develooment of a state forest. Roger's endeavors win him a partnership in a forest products concern and the hand of his lady fair. The climax comes when the heroine, thrown from her horse in a roaring forest fire, is rescued, unconscious, from the flames by Roger Corbin. The picture was produced with an eye to human interest. It includes many beautiful scenic "shots." "Trees of Tomorrow" is a two-reel film. It is full of sound reforestation doctrine and offers a solution to the tree shortage question. It will be effective in states where the timber shortage offers an important problem. Copies may be borrowed for short periods from the department, or prints may be bought by authorized purchasers at the laboratory charge. from their arrival at Washington's magnificent Union station through the many visits to the places of pictorial and historic interest. "Seeing Washington" is one reel in length. Copies may be borrowed for short periods from the department, or new prints may be purchased at the manufacturing charge. o When looking about to prepare an interesting program for the Farmer's club meeting, do not forget U. S. Department of Agriculture has many very interesting subjects covered in the movie and these reels are loaned out for entertainment and educational work. Our own M. A.

Write the Presidents of these institutions and tell them the kind of a gathering and the kind of a program you want and they will co-operate with you and will furnish speakers, at no cost, and glad to do so. With the great opportunity of gaining knowledge through these government institutions, surely our people ought to make use of the advantages offered. We are publishing two announcements from the U.

Vernon, famous Pennsylvania avenue, the historic Potomac, the tidal basin with the Japanese cherry trees in full bloom, Arlington National Cemetery, and many other impressive scenes make u p this film. Many of the scenes are highly praised for photographic artistry and composition.

Who's Who in Lansing. it Ljjnsjng—The pottery industry in Michigan has made almost uninterrupted growth since 1899 in spite of the fact that no deposits of china or ball clays are found in this state. Since 1008 the growth has been rapid, increasing over 4,054 per cent in 12 years, The main increase occurred riuring the last four years. In 1809 the total value of the pottery output was $29,741; in 1908, $62,409; in 1919, *2,0«ifi,874. an increase of $120,438, or fi.Ofl per cent over 1918, and $2,592,025 in 1920, an increase over 1919 of $495,751 or 2:3.5 per cent. The increases were largely due to the greatly increased output of porcelain electrical and sanitary supplies and porcelain and decorated wares. The products are chiefly porcelain electrical ( supplies, sanitary ware and white ware, "white granite" ware and flower pots. Clays us<*d for flower pot manufacture are obtained here. Clay pipes, novelty ware, decorated ware, flower pots, insulators, spark plugs, tumbling jars, crucibles are among the pottery products. An Ionia firm specializes in flower pots exclusively. There have been 13 distinct earthquake shocks recorded in Michigan since 1638. Despite the unlucky number recorded, or rather what many may believe to be an unlucky number, no lives have been endangered and there has been no property loss.

The disturbance recorded for 1875 took place in Lake Michigan when a remarkable "seich" or water wave appeared. Geological history also records disturbances in the upper peninsula for 1905 and 1906, but these may have been due to phenomena occuring because of the deep mines. M . J . Smith, legal advisor and chief clerk of the department of agriculture, hate in his 25 years' service with the state given nearly 3,000 opinions on the legality of every label on foodstuff sold in the state. During these 25 years of service he hits framed between six and eight department bills presented at each regular .session of the legislature. He has prepared an average of 11 departmental rulings annually. These rulings must be so drawn as to withstand possible court action. Mr. Smith taught school when 16 years old, graduated from the university law school in 188.3, and is with the single exception of of Dr. Dorlittle, chief of fhe eastern district of the Bureau of Chemistry. Mr. Smith's hobbies are landscape gardening and the growing of gladiolus, peonies, hydranges, spirea. fleur de li.^ and water lilies. Did you know that: There were about 30,000 cases of measles reported in Michigan for 1923 with 225 deaths as against 24 deaths out of 11,647 cases reported for 1(J22. Michigan communities having only a hard water supply spend five times as much soap as those sections having soft water available. A million herring are turned over every three days to fish salting concerns at Menominee during the season. About 30,000 barrels of herring, or -1 500,000 pounds annually, are prepared there. A third of the land area in Michigan has been repeatedly cut and burnid over and is now producing little or nothing in taxes. The freight bill on forest products now imported into Michigan is equal to a third of the state ta.x levy; about $15 per M. feet, board measure, on about a billion feet of lumber alone. Complete figures for 1921-22 show that 1,446 cattle intended for breeding or dairy' purposes were imported into the estate. In the same period we imported 3,473 horses, 92 swine, 1(5 4.931 sheep. Last year 37 counties reported 2,- 283 sheep killed and 125 injured by dogs; 50 counties reported damages paid for injuries and losses to livestock, principally sheep, totalling $33,- 772.46. There are upwards of 5,000 registered pharmacists in the state. A clause may be added to the dog license law by the 1925 legislature doubling dog license fees as a penalty for delinquents, thereby saving the dog's life. Michigan has about 325 cider and vinegar mills, ranging from small custom presses to large factories producing considerable tonnage. There are about 47 cheese factories in the state. Twenty-one additional deputy gamwardens, without pay, were appointed to the force by John Baird in December last. Crowing Tatte for Precious S t a a c t Diamond imports to the United States have aggregated over a billion dollars in the last half century, and will total $60,000,000 in 1923, which holds second rank in the history of diamond importations.

Severe, dull aches settled in the small of my back and prevented me from going on with my work. Mornings, my back felt so lame and tired and this caused me much trouble. Often when sewing or reading, dizzy spells came over me and I could hardly see. Black flashes seemed to appear before me, blurring my sight. I was often troubled with dull headaches, too. 1 felt weak, nervous and depressed. Doan's Pills were recommended to me by a friend and I bought a few boxes.

Later these crackling* are used instead of meat or other fats in cooking and I find them preferable to either in the making of several dishes. Most people appreciate the oldfashioned crackling bread, which, however, is little known in presentday cookery. To make proceed as witb ordinary egg bread and lastly stir in one cup of finely chopped cracklings. Cracklings are also nice to use occasionally in making biscuits instead of lard or other shortening. When cooking greens, dry beans, winter cabbage, or other vegetables with which a meat flavor is desired, the cracklings will be found excellent or in the making of potato hash. The quantity to use is based on the quantity of vegetable prepared, and on whether much or little seasoning is wanted. Apple Pie It is essential to have all materials i and utensils cold, and to use cold [water if you wish to have a crisp, , flaky crust. Add the water very j slowly, as too much water gives a | tough crust. If the shortening is jwarm and too little water used, the crust will crumble. Handle the dough {very lightly and as little as possible. One and one-half cups bread flour, or one and three-quarters pastry flour |one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon | baking powder, one-half cup shortening, cold water. j Sift flour, salt and baking powder together.

The Grave I love to muse, when none are nigh, Where yew tree branches wave, And hear the winds, with softest sigh, Sweep o'er the grassy grave. It seems a mournful music, meet To soothe a lonely hour; Sad though it be, it is more sweet Than that from Pleasure's bower. I know not why it should be sad. Or seem a mournful tone, Unless by man the spot be clad With terrors not its own. To nature it seems just as dear As earth's >nost cheerful site; The dew-drops glitter there as clear, The sun beams shine as bright. The showers descend as softly there As on the loveliest flowers: Nor does the moon-light seem more fair An Beauty's sweetest bowers. " A y ! but within—within, there sleeps One, o'er whose mouldering clay The loathsome earth-worn winds and creeps And wastes t h a t form away." And what of that? The frame that feeds The reptiJe trine below, As little of their banquet heeds, As of the winds that blow. t ^ = ~ ^5*: =S% Motherhood and Child's fVelfare <:o\mCTKI) in U. S.

QufNtioriM ari»iii(f mid information {MTtuiitiiig to t h e above subject*, will be answered free, b) (Government expert)* and bulletin* went to ii.HMi»t uny of our reader* upon request, by uddre*">ii>K u* above. 1 A v What the Children's Bureau it Doing For Mother* and Babies The Children's Bureau is a home bureau, and a very large part of its work is for individual fathers and mothers. Its printed material for mothers makes up three-fourths of what the bureau publishes and still more copies are demanded. It answer* by mail the questions of fathers and mothers. We are to begin next week a penes of articles un the care of children and we hope these will lead more parents to write to the bureau for information and advice. Since its creation the bureau has received many letters telling about the suffering of mothers for lack of expert care and advice. A few of these may be the so-called "hardluck storiee" but the great majority undoubtedly describe real conditions. The studies which the Children's Bureaeu staff made in rural counties of a dozen states have shown how moth^. ers and babies do suffer because they are so far from medical advice and (Are. Other mothers suffer because poverty makes it hard for them to pay for care even when it is at hand. Children's Bureau reports on infant mortality in cities, based on interviews with 24,000 mothers, show that the poorer the family the less chance the baby has to live. The mother without money can not pay for the advice ami knowledge another mother gets from her doctor and her nurse. Thus poverty and the mother's ignorance are the chief underlying reasons for the deaths of babies. Our National Government, in cooperation with 40 states, is now trying to help mothers and babies to overcome the handicaps of poverty a n d ignorance. Congress has made it possible through the Federal Mat e r n i t y and Infancy Act, passed in 1921, to enlist the aid of our Governm e n t in making the United States a safe place for mothers to have babies and for babies to be born. Under this act the Children's Bureau is an information center for the states. Appropriations by Congress are authorised for five years and the money appropriated is divided by the law among the states, $5,000 outright to each state accepting and the rest to states matching Federal funds with state appropriations, most of the Federal money being divided among the states on the basis of population. The OsS&ren's Bureau does not make the for spending it. These are by the state agencies. The plans In BO two states are exactly alike, beconditlons differ. Frafeably the best way to give an of the operation of the act is to iples of programs in differ* The first step is for the to accept the a c t Then child welfare agency draws lav m m far the expend!Uirs MDorfts the plan to _ Board of Maternity and Hygtm (of which the Chief „^K> of the Children's Bureau is chairman) with a statement of how much money the state is willing to appropriate to match Federal funds. When plans are approved the Federal money to which each state is entitled is forwarded to the proper state agency, which takes charge of its expenditures. Only eight states have failed to accept the provisions of this act—Illinois, Louisiana, Kansas, Connecticut. Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The kind of work being done in the other states may be illustrated by the cases of New York—the state entitled to the largest appropriations —and Nevada, one of the states receiving comparatively small appropriations. New York, with over $150,000 to :-,)end during 1923-24, plans the fo>- ':>w;ng things: 1. Permanent mother and childhealth stations, with physicians, nurses, scientific apparatus, etc. 2. Health consultations by traveling physicians and nurses, 3. Twenty public health nurses giving their whole time to work for mothers, babies and young children. 4. Inspection and instruction of mid wive s. 5. Surveys of cities and counties where the death rate among mothers and babies is high, and demonstrations of maternity and infancy work showing how these rates can be reduced. 6. Educational activities. 7. Inspections of maternity and infant homes and of day nurseries. Naturally New York, an old and thickly populated state, has a comprehensive program, while Nevada, with its scattered population, must s t a r t almost at the beginning to build its public-health machine. Nevada's $18,000 for the year will go first into an educational campaign to show the people of the state the great need for work among mothers and babies; second, into providing public health nurses for the seven districts into which the state is divided, enforcing birth and midwife registration, and organizing maternity and infancy centers. Some states are working to prevent blindness; some are emphasizing bett e r milk inspection and other fundamental things. Some, however, cannot even tell where to center their work bcause they have not had good birth or death registration and so do not know where t h e greatest proportion of babies die. They mast start a t the beginning to improve registration or births. In one way or an* other all the 40 states which have accepted the benefits of the act are going t o work to save the mothers and babies. If yon want to know just what yout state, city or eotrnty is doing for its mothers and babies write yocr State Health Commissioner or the Children's Bureau at Washington.

Another week has rolled around and I suppose most of the scribs of the Scribe Club ar© busy in. school and with the short days and long evenings are pretty busy, especially when the skating is good on the pond and the coasting on the hill is fine, all the time is taken and there is no time to write poems, poetry, prose and stories. When the stormy, cold night comes, Uncle Ernest wants a letter from you and you and a poem from some of you and stories from others and still others to give us some of their experiences, of hikes, camping and outdoor activities. We ought to make this Scribes Club the most interesting corner in the paper and I know our boys and girls can do it. You see the faith Uncle Ernest has in the boys and girls of Michigan and now we do not want you to disappoint us and remember without your help this department will be a failure. Suppose we try another missing word poem contest in our club and that we offer some prizes, so that we ca.n have a good number to try. Prizes for the boys and prizes for the girls. Just fill in the missing words and sign your name and give your address and mail to Uncle Ernest, 58 Market Ave., S. W., Grand Rapids, Mich. Here is the mi ing word poem: Those pleasant have passed And many a ,that then was Within the tomb now darkly dwells, And hears no more those bells. o February Birthdays February is here and with it the birthdays of two great men, prominent in United States history, Washington, the maker of the Republic, and Lincoln, the savior of the Republic. We shall always remember Lincoln as a man of the people, working for their interest and risking his life in their cause. Lincoln, as a boy, was determined to be great. He had heard t h a t a neighbor some miles away had a book whom DO one else in the neighborhood had obtained, and being very fond of books, and having few of his own, w e n t to the man and asked for the loan of the book, promising to return it. Each night Abraham would climb to his loft, after reading in the book by the firelight, exhausted and determined. One night a storm arose, and the book, which Abraham kept in a crevice in the wall, became soaked with water. Unhesitatingly he went to the owner with the book and offered to do anything to pay for the damage. He worked for the man four days in the cornfield and went home, the proud possessor of the book. This book, "The Life of Washington." helped to mould Lincoln's life and years after, when he was President of our country, told people there were three things that made him what he was, his Mother, the Bible and the story of the "Life of Washington." o- "G. O. K." A young woman received from the bank a budget book. Her husband found every week an item described as "G. O. K." He inquired the nature of it. "Well, dear, if you must know," replied the blushing lady, "there always seems to be some amount for K.' stands for 'God Only Knows.'"— Forbes. Selling a farm is easy if you find a buyer.

Noise, and How to Reduce It When jazz, symphony or sermon comes forth from your radio blurred or drowned out by a medley of noises what do you do? If you are like a great many radio fans, you look to your connections to be sure they are light, try to tune out the noise, and then, if you fail to get results, decide that it's due to static, and so can't be helped. Perhaps you're right—it may be static that's causing the trouble, but did it ever occur to you that there might be another explanation—and one that could lead to quick relief? Well, there frequently is, and it can be summed up in one word—batteries. "But how can my batteries cause noises?" you ask. To understand the "how" and " w h y " first consider what your batteries do to keep your set in operation. As you know, every radio set equipped with one or more tubes requires two kinds of batteries—an "A" battery to supply the current which heats the filament of the tube, and one or more " B " batteries to supply current for the plate circuit of the tube, which reproduces the incoming signals and causes the vibrations in the diaphragm of the phones that make the signals audible. While battery noises may be due to either A or B batteries, or both, it is the B batteries which are the principal offenders, for the reason that they are right in the phone circuit, while A batteries are not. Because they are in the phone circuit, any disturbances caused by or within the B batteries immediately affect the vibrations of the phone diaphragm, producing a varie'y of harsh, discordant sounds. The intensity of this disagreeable effect, of course, is greatly increased when amplified, especially wherever loudspeaking apparatus is used. The battery disturbances which cause noise are set up in several ways, differing according to whether dry cells or storage batteries are used to supply the plate c u r r e n t Why Dry Batteries Are Noisy In the case of dry batteries, these disturbances are the result of one or both of two conditions: 1—Internal electro-chemical action, and 2—Unseen wearing away of connections within the battery, due to corrosion. Internal action is constantly going on in even the best dry batteries, due to the very nature of the construction of this type of battery. Each cell, as you know, consists of a carbon electrode surrounded by what is known as the "mix,' and around which is wrapped a thin sheet of zinc to form the outside wall of the cell and also to act as the other necessary electrode. This internal action becomes more noticeable as the cell increases in age and the voltage drops. Traveling instantly from batteries t o phones, this constant disturbance is reproduced in the form of frying or hissing noises. Yours may be a ( 5 0 set or a $500 set; it may be thoroughly efficient in every other particular, but if yon are depending upon dry cells in your plate circuit, you cannot escape t h e unpleasant effects of their internal action. o • Your want ad. in this newspaper and 25 or more other newspapers for 8 cents the word.

PLAN Where the moderate priced home is to be built in the city, property values effect a considerable influence on the general scheme. Ground space is too expensive to be wasted and its cost usually restricts t h e plan of the house to the long narrow form. Such plans have some disadvantages, of course, but these are far exceeded by the advantages over t h e apartment and the man who builds the detached h o n e saves at every turn, has more comforts, and has something to show for his money. T h e Aylesbury is one of many good narrow house plans. To assure privacy, difficult to achieve where houses are built dose together, no with the exception ef the SECOND TLOOS2. P U N kitchen and cellar entrance, have been made in the wall facing the adjoining property. The plan permits a duplex scheme by doubling the arrangement on the reversed order. In this case the kitchen and cellar openings would come at the dining room entrance. The duplex idea offers the property owner a means of making his building pay for itself. The exterior of the Aylesbury while simply treated is unusually pleasing. The timbered gable in Elizabethan style, the shuttered upper window and the skillful handling of the front entrance have an hospitable appeal, while the extreme long line of the house is broken by numerous smallpaned windows. We enter the living room from a bay-ehaped ana room, a particularly fitting place for growing flowers. The fireplace of the living room is in a corner with wall space adjacent, so that proper placing of furniture is possible. A small lobby off the living room gives access to the stairs, a large coat closet and to t h e dining room which has an outside door and a door to the kitchen. Here work has been reduced to a minimum by step-saving arrangement. On the second floor the front bed room has the benefit of cross circulation of air and has two closets between which is a very convenient built-in dressing table. The bath is reached from the outer hall and includes the linen closet. The other two bed rooms have plenty of win- J ^.-s «-o assure cool s'eeping, and there is lots of closet space. The English motif of this house is effectively carried out in concrete block finished in Portland cement stucco and with a roof of fire-resistive concrete tile or cement-aabeetos shingle, it is easy and economical to maintain.

THE ELECTRIFIED HOME SAVES LABOR In the fully wired home there are convenience outlets in every room. j This means that you can attach your toaster, your percolator, your chafing dish without reaching for and unscrewing lamps from their sockets. In the kitchen or laundry, you can attach washing ma* chine or flatiron with the same ease. And in the bedrooms you have those handy outlets for curling iron, hair dryer or heating pad. It costs but little to have your house wiring made complete. THE DETROIT EDISON ~N, COMPANY V a n W i u k l c .

Nine months is a good time to start feeding green vegetables. Carrots, spinach, green string beans or celery are some of the best to begin with. They should be cooked in as little water as possible. One famous doctor has nurses put the vegetables in fruit jars without adding any water at all. The fruit jars are then boiled in a kettle in the same way as fruit is cold packed, In this way none of the mineral matter is washed away. When the vegetable is tender, strain it and season to suit the taste. Baby will not take much at first. Be satisfied jf he eats a tiny bit off the tip of the spoon. It takes some babies quite a while to form a taste for new foods. The baby should be encouraged to eat a little bit more each day until he is getting a tea spoonful at a time. Offer it to him three times a day at the beginning of each meal when he is hungry. o Lady Baltimore Cake Three cups cake flour, one and onehalf cups sugar, five-eighths cup butter or three-quarters cup substitute, six egg whites, one cup sweet milk, one-quarter teaspoon salt, four teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon almond extract.

One friend may advise in one way and another in the opposite. Some of this advice may be very good, but the mother needs standards of her own by which to measure it. The baby ought not to be experimented on. Baby care is a'science and an art It is the most important work that anyone can undertake. A mother should give it the same study -and effort and intelligence that she rwoald to a profession. The mother's first guides ought to fce her doctor and her nurse, then / But later some standard book on infant •care such as the Children's Bureau The Country Clergyman Near yonder copse, where once the garden smiled, And still where many a garden flower grows wild, There, where a few torn shrubs the place disclose, The village preacher's modest mansion rose. A man he was to all the country dear, And passing rich, with forty pounds a year; Remote from towns he ran his godly race, Nor e'er had changed, nor wished to change, his place: Unpractised he to fawn, or seek for power, By doctrines fashioned to the varying hour; Far other aims his heart had learned to prize,— More bent to raise the wretched than to rise. His house was known to all the vagrant train; Ue chid their wanderings but relieved their pain. The long-remembered beggar was his guest, Whose beard, descending, swept his aged breast; The ruined spendthrift, new no longer proud, Claimed kindred there, and had his claims allowed; The broken soldier, kindly bade to stay, Sat by his fire and talked the night away; Wept o'er his wounds, or, tales of sorrow done, Shouldered his crutch, arid showed how fields were won. Pleased with his guests, the good man learned to glow, And quite forgot their vices in their wo; Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity vbegan. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And even his failings leaned to virtue's side; But, in his duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all; And, as a bird each fond endearment tries, To tempt its new-fledged Offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to brighter worlds and led the way. Beside the bed where parting life was laid, And sorrow, guilt, and p^in, by turns dismayed, The reverend champion stdod. At his control Despair and anguish fled ^he struggling soul; Comfort came down, the trembling wretch to raise, And his last, faltering accents whispered praise. At church, with meek and unaffected grace, His looks adorned the veaerable place; Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, And fools, who came to scoff, returned to pray. The service past, around •'he pious man, With ready zeal, each honest rustic ran; Even children followed ^ith endearing wile, And plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile; His ready smile a parent's warmth expressed, Their welfare pleaesed him, and their cares distressed; To them his heart, his love, h'c criefs, were jriven, But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven.

Dry battery connections are peculiarly liable to corrosion and it is important to remember that for a given voltage more dry cells are needed than storage battery cells, the former producing 1 1-2 volts, the own rectifier attached to an electric lamp socket, or, at little expense, by a battery service station. In fact, the right way to use a radio storage battery is to take full advantage of this recharging feature by always keeping the battery well charged, and not waiting for any indications of loss of voltage. In connection with the subject of constant voltage, it is important to consider external electrical leakage, which, as we have said, is likely to be present in the ordinary radio storage battery. You will recall that we cited this as one of the two principal causes of battery noises. latter 2 volts, so that there are a In addition to causing noises, this comparatively larger number of has a decided effect upon the voltage^ points at which corrosion may take! of the battery, due to the fact that,' place when dry cells are used.

Other Big Advantages By using this kind of battery, you will not only get rid of battery noises, but you will also gain in several other important ways. These gains can all be summed up under two heads: Increased efficiency of oper- As you know, a B storage battery, like a B dry battery, also consists of a number of cells, each one a complete unit in itself producing a certain amount of electrical energy.

Electrical leakage causes disturbances in the circuit which issue from the phones in the form of noises. A very small amount of leakage can produce plainly noticeable sounds,, a« to be of no practical value. Conbecause of the sensitive character | stant voltage, or as near it as posvolume of sound coming through your phones is reduced, and signals that you would get with the correct voltage in the batteries may either not be heard at all or may be so faint of radio apparatus and, further, because amplifying appliances are frequently used. Two Facts to Remember In the maintaining of constant voltage, the properly built storage sible, is what you want in your batteries, and it is something you can get only with properly constructed storage batteries. In a dry battery, the voltage begins to drop with the production of battery has two big advantages. One'the battery.

The develop- ! f0 0 d and are kept c I e a n " and h merit of the average baby goes along ' - - - • a normal course and if it varies unexpectedly a doctor should be called. There are simple principles that apply to every baby. Many studies have proved that the death rate of 1 babies—who- a r e . nursed by their ntothers during the early months is jloncer than among those artificially fed. Mother's milk is the young ^baby's only natural food. When the baby has to be given any other food it ^hould be under • dactor's order. Babies may seem to have a wonderful ability to use any kind of food for a little while but "that does not mean this feeding is Another feeding principle is regularity. ' The baby ought not to be totmed every time he cries. Decide 'trfcether to fed him at a three-hour interval or a four-hour interval and do it by the clock. If the baby is accustomed to have his meals and bath and airing at regular hours and •specially if he goes to sleep at regular times, the mother will be able to count on time for herself and her other work. The advantage to the baby is plain. A baby should sleep as much as possible. He will generally take a long nap after the morning bath and fooding. Then a short nap after the next feeding. But see that he doer not turn night into day. He should have an unbroken sleep at night and •O it is better he should not sleep too much in the late afternoon. 8©n*t keep him up in the evenings ., Hi amuse the family or show off to rm or go to the movies. Tuck la bed not later than 6 or 7. [Open up the windows. See that the covers are right for t h e fresh-air temperature. Put o u t the light and if he is a healthy haDy he will soon learn to go to sleep without any more attention. If he cries at night because he is ! sick or in pain there w i l I b e s o m e other indication be«de 8 the crying. If he is hungry, tk.e taking of his ± i i ^ _ weight will show whether he really)you7piaymates"don't know ftc an* needs more food thftn h e [a getting, i v ers. The best way to be "sure of If no cause such ^ this can. be I this is to make your own riddles. I know you will say riddles are the hardest thing in the world to make. No they aren't, and all good riddles have not been written in a book. There are better ones to make than ever were made. There are several ways you can make riddles of your own Do you boys and girls tell riddlds rpj as Uncle Ernest did when he was a boy? We used to get together i t recess and the noon hour at the school and tell riddles. Yes, v/e used to go home, with some b>y chum, to spend the night, or some boy would come home with us, for the night and in many cases a i d very often, much of the time was spent in telling riddles. There used to be some pretty gcod riddle tellers among the girls and as ^ we recall those days, we are ineiiied I to think the girls were just a little better telling riddles than the boys and many of their hours were spent in this way. Riddles are jolly good futtr-when !

Army Still Dependable On Carrier Pigeons for Messages Even With the Wireless, Army Planes and Signal Apparatus the Little Pigeon Takes a Prominent Part; U. S. Army Have Thousands Camp Vail, N. J.—Snow white pigeons fluttering about the giant steel towers of this greatest of Army radio plants lend a charming pastoral touch to the grim surroundings. Yet neither the extensive electrical labora tories which dot the camp nor even the huge gray towers themselves are more vital to the efficiency of the United States Signal Corps than these carefully trained and dependable carrier pigeons. Of an antiquity dating to the year 43 B. C , the use of homing birds by modern armies for transmitting milit a r y information is one of the most remarkable instances of our day of primitive methods holding their own against the far-reaching developments of electrical science. i But while pigeons were the mail carriers in a postal system operated in Bagdad by the Sultan for more than one hundred years, in fact until it was destroyed in 1258 by Mongala, and the great financier Nathan Rothschild depended on pigeons for the tidings of the battle of Waterloo which enabled him to lay the foundation for the Rothschild fortune, the flying messengers of the U. S. Army are now held in readiness only for emergencies, when the usual means of radio and telegraph have failed. In actual warfare so frequent is the need for supplementing the mechanical facilities that 470,000 birds and 8,800 Signal men were carried on the pigeon force of the warring armies during the World War. Her©es among the ranks of the feathered fighters are numerous and there are crippled vets still in the Army service bearing scars sustained in action, notably "President WilsoT)," "The Mocker," and "Spike," the last credited with carrying fifty-two messages of first-rate importance. There a r e four hundred homing birds being fed daily by the Army "pigeoners" at Camp Vail, but along the Mexican Border, in Hawaii, in the Canal Zone, and at Nome, the Army maintains 1,400 birds, waiting to be of service in the field. It is in the mountains or sparsely settled regions t h a t pigeons a r e used by the Army during times of peace. American Cavalrymen patrolling the Mexican border are equipped with baskets strapped to their backs and containing two homers, the birds being released to headquarters with the scouts' dispatches. Aviators also carry homers for emergency use. In fact the British Air Forces require that two birds be carried in every plane. It is significant t h a t out of eighty calls from aviators in distress during the la.st seventeen months, the first to be received in forty-five instances were curried by these birds. In the t r a i n i n g of the carriers for military work the important factor is of course the strength and duration of the homing instinct. - This instinct —which cannot be explained—varies with the individual bird, but the average homer can be kept away from its loft for at least two weeks and still return with unerring accuracy when released. Fifty miles an hour for a distance of three hundred miles without stopping is the normal rate of flight of these faithful servants, while especially strong ones have made as much as five hundred miles between sunrise and sunset.

The little winged couriers of the air who are members of such an ancient and honorable calling weigh normally about one pound and their ability to subsist on the smallest quantity of feed and more often than not on the fare offered by the country itself is another reason why the soldier holds them in affectionate regard.

This was shown by an official report of the federal reserve board showing t h a t savings deposits increased 1570,000,000 or 9.1 per cent during 1923. Savings accounts in 882 representative banks increased from $6,336,928,000 to $6,913,352,- 000. Even in spite of the annual orgy of spending during the Christmas season savings deposits increased nearly two per cent during December. "No federal reserve district showed a decrease in savings deposits during December," the statement said. "The greatest increase was 3.7 per cent in the Philadelphia district." T h e New-York district led in savings deposits J a n . 1, with $1,923,- 763,000; while Boston was second with $1,217,267,000.

The pebbles are about of uniform size and contain little, if any, sand. A Duluth firm takes the gravel, its boats steaming many miles after the rich deposits. The state exacts a toll of 10 cents per cubic yard of gravel imd 10 cents per cubic yard of sand.

A Story of Michigan in Civil War Day. i Rachel continued to cry, her head bent against the window. His kindly words made the situation all t h e harder. She loved him next to husband and baby. W h a t would Jack think when he knew? It was like prodding a sore to tell him. She could not do it, so stood and whimpered like a whipped child; and Jack soothed her with such endearing brave words. "All of us feared old T h o m t might protest, or do some ridiculous thing, which he hasn't else 1 should have heard. Say, Sis, I have an idea. You can move to Logtown and live with me, I'll be man of the house and keep the wolf from the door till the boys come home. We'll live like pigs in clover. I'll buy all the daily papers and keep you posted on army movements; lampy-boy'U grow fat and rosy in the pine woods, and—well, it'll be j just jolly, that's all. I can't see you often if you stay here, and you'll get mighty lonesome with him gone. Say you'll do it, Rachel. There's an empty house on the creek and it will be splendid! Then I can have a home— "Oh, Jack, Jack—" Lower drooped the head of Rachel. She crooked her plump forearms about her face and cried and cried the harder. Jack stood marveling a t the "queerness" of women. He imagined he had made her a pleasing offer; in fact he thought it was one she would delight to accept. "Now," said he, "if you are going to take on like this I'm sorry I came over. Of course, if you will stay here, 111 do the best I can to see you frequently." "Oh, Jack, you don't understand,' ahe cried brokenly, raising her tearwet face up to his gaze. "Well, if I don't let's hear you explain." Jack still stood his ground. His arm, however, loosened a trifle while he waited for her to speak again. "You haven't got the right of it, Jack," declared Rachel, pressing hard against her side to still the wild heart throbs. "Thornton has not gone he is —is not at Wingdam with the conecrlpta," "Ah, I see," noted the boy. "The report t h a t he had drawn a piize was false—he was not of the lucky number." "Yea, he was drafted, Jack." "Then where is he"! Gone to settle some little debt before he departs for the front; old Thornt was always good about paying his debts. Well, that's right. That's what I like about him, Sis, his strict integrity. Even when he was on the wrong side ho was always honest in his opinions." "And he is honest ?till, Jack," she taid, catching hopefully at the boy's remark. "You know how Thornton has stood, all along with regard to this w a r ?" "Sure, as contrary AS Job's off ox. He wan't that mean though to say fellows who enlisted ought to be killed as old Bill Adams did. You remember how he sneered and rejoiced when the body of Hank Lawson was fetchca home in a metal coffin from the field of Shiloh. I tell you, Rachel, if I was the boss of the law such men should go j !<• prison.- Thornton- wasn^t \ba\r way, He felt sorry for Hank's folks, and I j can saw tears in his eye when the minister spoke of the sacrifice the Lawsons had made for the flag. When will Thornt go? If he is going to be home soon I'll wait and congratulate him on his occasion to Old Abe's a r m y ? " ' The boy was making her task harder the longer she procrastinated. Rachel, sore at heart with conflicting opinions, at length broke the crust and boldly proclaimed thetruth. "Thornton was drafted, ack, but he refuse* to go. With his decided opinions it is simply impossible for him to take up arms against the South the boy. The blush had departed; in its stead came a white anger that was disfiguring. Rachel's face burned she was resenting the stinging word. She had no thought of tears now. Jack had roused her combative spirit, her loyal love for husband and child. "J*ck, you are wicked. Thornton has a right to his opinions—" "Not when they cross the will of his country. Rachel, where is the—-.vhere i> Thornton now?" Jacked faced his si.sitr with a whiti-, disturbed face His .;tout young hands W.TC interlocked— he seemed ir. pain. "I do not know, Jack." "Has he defied the officers—is he sneaking in the woods?" "Not sneaking, Jack—my husband is not that sort." Rachel drew herself up proudly. She did not look, however, into her brother's pale, angry face. "If Thornton has sneaked, Sis, it will be the worst thing ever. I did notl 22| j her own footsteps. The acute senses of Rachel kept her ever on the alert for danger. She knew that the woods were being seoured daily for runaways from the draft. It seemed pitiful, this struggle of a few weak individuals against the mailed arm of a government of twenty millions. Let those go to war who sympathised with the strife; it was wrong to compel men to fight against their principles. The woman went forward, pausing a t length on the brink of a deep gulch. F a r below, an hundred feet or more, gurgled the waters of a considerable creek. Rachel crouched and gazed all about. She waited in silence, then, pursing her lips, she sent forth a sweet thrill such as a forest bird might easily make. Twice, thrice this cry fretted the air, when, up from the depths below came the plaintive chirp of a tree-toad. A tremendulous smile shot across her face. After another sweeping survey of her surroundings the woman put out her feet, with tight-drawn skirt, and shot like an arrow down the declivity. A person standing on the brink of the hill and looking down would have marveled at her sudden disappearance. It seemed like a slide to instant death; and yet Rachel had made simi Jar downshots many times. At the foot of the hill the land stooled out in a gradual swell, thus easing her swift flight. She landed at the foot of an immense cedar, her slender form going beneath hanging branches. "Ah, a h ! " she breathed relievedly. think him so lowdown mean. Why—"! She stood upright, bumping the limbs "Hush, Jack," with a gesture of of-' of the tree. "Where are you, Thorn fended dignity. "You are a boy; you have not the power to fathom a man's feelings. Thornton is honest and fearless in what he does. I'll have no one, not even you, Jack, disparaging bis motives." "Motives!" almost screamed Jack. He was whiter than ever; his hands grasped the edge of the door, shaking it in agony of boyish impatience. "Motives don't excuse treason, Rachel Clang! I'll never come here again. When you let me know tnat you've thrown that man over then I'll come, not before. And, blame his hide, 1 hope he'll be caught and punished!" With this passionate outburst Jack Perkins sprang to the ground and went striding away toward the woods, his stout arms swinging with an angry vehemence expressive of his righteous indignation. C H A P T E R IV. Providing for Her Own. A human figure crept through the shadows of the wood the dense hemlock tops interlaced overhead shutting uut the sunshine. It was a restful place, full of sweet sounds, nature's music. Birds twittered, bees buzzed in and out of the sunshiny nool.s far above; the tree toad chanted his warning; the air close with the destiny of an approaching storm. Now and again the shawled, slender creature, paused in her sinuous course and glanced backward, a timid forlorn little light in the dark eyes. Up from the ?wale to the left came ii sudden crashing sound as of many feet dashed against the thick langle of creeping hemlock which lined the ground hereabout. The "shintunglc" was difficult of fording by foot feminine, yet the woman who had threaded the woody mazes a thousand times since her birth in a shingle-weaver's log cabin, felt no fear, nor experienced more than momentary rebuff from the twining, hungry growth. She had fenced with the natural undergrowth, ran wild through pn many of her sunny girlhood years, th» ohslacles interposed by nature sorvodi or.ly to whet her appetite for more. ton?" A step sounded and a face peered into her shaded nook, the white, worn face of a hunted human being. His black eyes twinkled and faltered in their gaze, his hands trembling with their clutch on the greenery. "So you have come at last, Rachel," he breathed huskily. "Has it seemed so very long, Thornton dear?" The speaker crept forth and was folded tight to his lean breast. For the spell of two long minutes neither spoke. It was a tranceful moment. The ripple of water alone broke the sweet silence. "What news, Rachel?" he asked, breaking the adesome silence. They stood apart, his eyes scanning her pretty face keenly. "Not the worst-—" "Then he still lives?" The echo of relief in the voice tanged her heart. "Yes, Woodrow is better, yet he is not out of danger." "The hound! He dared to insult you, Rachel—I ought to have killed him!" "Never mind, Thornton," she said gently; "that is past. He meant no real harm I feel sure. Let us hope t h a t he may recover and go away from here. I wish never to look upon his face again." She then produced her basket of provisi | is. The two sat down on the bank of the creek. She spread a white napkin in dainty folds across his knee: another answered on the grass for a cloth on which to spread the goodies of her larder for his delectation. "Begin, girl," he said with a laugh, lifting a wedge of pie in his fingers. "You are hostess for the day." It pleased her to see him in a pleas anter mood. She nibbled at the biscuit but ate very little. !fe seemed i not to notice this. For a brief half hour husband and wife revealed, after which it was time for her to go. Thest meetings were not infrequent. Rachel came oftener since it had become unsafe for him to approach the house. Both knew that the cabin was under espionage; so of course were the movements of the wife. It required was not like the handsome fellow who came to woo in those other days, this spare, bony man, with hollow cheeks and cavernous eyes. "Don't say such horrid things, Thornton," she objected. "I am not complaining." 'Nor would you if the earth should collapse and I be the one to cause the catastrophe, my precious, precious sweetheart!" He drew her to him and nearly smothered her with caresses. There were big tears in his eyes when he re leased her. She blushed and smiled through a rain from her own eyes, then snatched and kissed his hand, turning to toil upward. He sprang at once to her side, leading and assisting till the toilsome steep was surmounted. Together they stood on the brink, surveying the woods and sky. A parting kiss, a last good-by and Rachel ran into the woods, swinging her basket on her arm. She turned and looked back once to see him standing where she had left him, looking ch so forlorn and hopeless. He kissed his hand to her. She smiled, waving her handkerchief, then plunged into the thicket. (To be continued) , o Happenings s. It was man, cruel and revengeful, the ;irttf'fial r a t h r r t h a r t the-nattrral, that [keen judgment and careful adjusting [ d her tears and trouble. She had read once upon a time, a tale of feudal days in which every manV house w-i his castle, which he defended to the k.st extremity. It was so now in her own experience. No man ought to be molested en his own 1 hearthstone; yet here was. a great, strong government commanding a man to its army to be inadt sacrifxc; for fratricidal bullets. It seemed t-i her utterly, wickedly wrong. Thornton had so placed the situation before her, and she was believing, despite the strenuous teaching of her stern old father, whose ancestors had come to the new land in the Pilgrim boat, and proclaimed firece defiance to the mother The truth was out now and Rachel | country later on. The grandfather had borne a flintlock under Greene, the father flashing an officer's sword in face of t i e foe at I undy's Lane. Rachel had been as fierce a patriot ?«n anybody; she was true bine now, only this was a different story. Weren't her fathers rebels in the felt relieved. She did not look at sturdy Jack. Had she ventured to do so she would have noted the flush of dismay t h a t darkened his cheek and invaded his forehead to the roots of his rebellious hair. Jack stepped back and sat in his chair. He knuckled one hand into the palm of the other, shut hard his strong teeth and glared at nothing in particular. The long silence worked on Rachel's nerves. "Speak, Jack," she invoked chockingly. But the boy said no word. He seemed bound by a spell. At length he got to his feet and, stood in the door. He breathed deeply two or three times, still averting his gaze. "You know how it is with Thornton, Jack," said Rachel when she saw that he was not going to break the silence. **He does not approve of the war. Ht n "No, the blamed t r a i t o r ! " Jack had spoken. His soul was in tltft words. Again Benedict Arnold of tiki Resolution loomed in the wife's Ewrital vision. The boy thought of this too. Arnold the traitor had been , 's execration. The very ef villainy w a s pictured in the •1 H wsBas ap, black as past? Then why fhould she send her husband to aid in crushing the same, sort of people in ihis lat^r WST? hja boyhood' ' -m rt traitor r aga*n said tfc» M hortsom with incidents narrated in chapter one. During the time the foot of the hider had not crossed his home threshold. The Seventh regiment of dragons was rendezoud on the heights above Wingdam. Here the boys in blue drilled and paraded, doing camp duty, hardening themselves for the actualities of real war. Penned near the Seventh was a parcel of conscripts waiting transportation South. It was to this pan, more like a prison than a hous ing yard for recruits, that the men in Uncle Sam's service were desirous of taking Thornton Clang. I t seemed to the mind of the young wife a thing disgraceful to inhabit this pen devoted to conscripts. More and more was she learning to hate the men of war, and to regard with lenient if net approving eyes her husband's action in defying the overnment. The sounds in the bvnsh died away. An animal doubtless frightened by Ohio's wealth is placed at $18,- 473,316,000 in a census bureau announcement. This is an increase of 105 per cent in 10 years. Settlement of the railroad strike in England raised Premier MacDonald in public esteem and the threat by 120,000 dockyard workers that they will strike unless they receive satisfaction, is viewed with equanimity. French reparations policy in general will be unaffected by the Mac- Donald Labor government in England, says Eugene Mauclere, chairman of the commission of guarantees and French representative on the reparations commission. Fifth matrimonial venture of DeWoIf Hopper, musical comedy star, ended in failure when Mrs. Elda F.

Extra police guards were furnished by the German government to members of the first committee of international reparations experts, headed by General Dawes, when they arrivd in Berlin from Paris. Former Emperor William of Germany was recovering last week from a slight attack of influenza.

The Spanish directory has authorized an increase in railroad fares. The states of the Union spent $120,792,768 more than they received in W making a per capita excess d nditures over revenues of 81.1. R belt V. Massey, general manager of the Eastern region of the Pennsylvania railroad, admitted in federal court last week that the railroad company had paid the expenses of the delegates of the company unions to conferences concerning wages and working conditions. Former Governor H a r r y L, Davis of Ohio severely arraigned Governor Donahey in a recent speech, charging that Donahey has failed to fulfill a single promise made in his campaign and has increased rather than reduced the cost of government. The Steffen cider mill at Fenville Michigan, has since the opening day, August seventh, taken in an average of four carloads of apples a day or a total of five hundred cars for the season. From this the mill has made more than 700,000 gallons of cider. The mill has just closed, having completed work for the year.

Wetk of March 2 The first week of March in Michigan wi!l see rising temperatures during first part, followed by rain. snow and wind and ending with a change to considerably colder. Temperatures during the week in this state will average a maximum of between 50 and 55 degrees and a minimum of between 18 and 23 degrees, the approximate dates being respectively March 3 or 4 and March 8. Probably Sunday will be mostly fair in this state but by Monday cloudy and unsettled conditions will begin Jo materialize. Temperatures will rise somewhat during Monday and Tuesday resulting in mild weather for the season. Beginning about Tuesday and continuing over the middle part of the week there will be storms of rain or snow and gales in Michigan. We are not expecting an abnormal amount of snow to fall in this state during this storm influence although the winds will do much to make drifts, especially if there is much snow on the ground before this storm area develops strength in Michigan. About Friday and not later than Saturday of this week the temperature will drop rapidly and generally speaking the weather will be clear with the exception of probable scattered local snow flurries. Our* Only Forecast on Job True to our forecast for the week of February 3rd strong winds, ra^n, sleet and snow all aided in "hindering transportation and communica-1 tion" by means of the "drifts and icy conditions." We know of no forecast that gave as definite a prediction as to storm characteristics and dates as that which appeared in this paper a month in advance rer garding what has been termed the most severe storm of the winter in Michigan. We fail at times, naturally, but considering the details with which we furnish readers about the storms, it is truly remarkable and a proof of the pudding. For instance, the maximum t e m p e r a t u r e for the early p a r t of the week of February 3rd reached within five degreed of our predicted mark. o Their Mistake* A certain celebrated doctor hated to pay his bills and got out of doing so whenever he could. One day the doctor employed a workman to mend some pavement j u s t outside of his house. Afterward he exclaimed: "Why, you rascal, do you expect to be paid for such a piece of work? You have spoiled my pavement and then covered it over with earth to hide the bad work." The workman winked knowingly. "Doctor," he r e t o r t e d slowly, "mine is not the only bad work the earth hides." o "HU Place" Sister Smith was called upon for testimony in a revival meeting. She humbly declined, in these words: " I have been a transgressor and a black sheep for a good m a n y years and have only recently seen the light I believe that my place is a dark corner, behind the door." Brother Jones was n e x t called upon. Following Sister Smith's meek example, he said: "I, too, have been a sinner for forty years, and I do not think I ought to stand before you as a model I think that my place is behind the door, in a dark corner, with Sister Smith."

On many farms dairying or livestock play an important part in the farming system. Legumes are grown, mill feeds are fed, and a good supply of manure is available for the potato crop. Reinforcement of manure with acid phosphate is one of the most profitable fertizing practices, and a sound one, because all the crops in the rotation receive the benefit of the added fertility. In addition to this broad program of soil improvement, there is good opportuamount of high-analysis complete fertilizer, applied in the row at the time of planting. Such an application gives the crap the advantage of readily available plant food at an early stage of growth. The selection of the right fertil izer is fundamental. A great deal of confusion has existed on this question, and about as many different kinds of advice have been given as there have been sources of information. Recently efforts have been made by the fertilizer manufacturers and the soil-fertility workers of the nity to use with profit a moderate | colleges and experiment stations in several states to reduce the number of unnecessary analyses and brands. Out of a limited number of analyses, the various experiment stations have selected a few that they believe suit the needs of the crops in their states. Thus in Wisconsin the 4-8-6 and 2-12-6 fertilizers, used a t the rate of from 40o to 800 pounds per acre, are suggested as likely to prove the most profitable for potatoes. In Michigan, the 3-12-4, 3-8-6, 2-16-2, 2-12-2 and 0-14-4 are recommended under various soil conditions and farming systems. On the lighter | cast. soils where little manure is applied and legumes are not grown in rotation, the analyses high in nitrogen and potash should be used. Where a good clover sod is plowed under, the nitrogen can be cut down somewhat. Where an application of 10 or 12 tons of manure can be made, the 0-16-0 and 0-14-4 are recommended to supplement the plant food in the manure. The method of application of fertilizers for potatoes deserves careful attention. The best results are generally obtained from a row application rather than broad- BRIDGE GRAFTING CHEAP WAY OF SAVING MANY FRUIT TREES F r u i t trees injured by rabbits or mice during tho winter can be saved without undue expense by bridge grafting. Bridge grafting is a simple process but requires skill in the handling of the tools. A bridge graft is made by using scions to connect the two portions of the bark of a stock or limb which have heen separated by an injury such as girdling by animals <r other mean?. In nther words, the injured area is "bridge" by scions, the ends of which unite the uninjured parts above and below the wound in such a manner that a connection between tho tissues is established. This kind of tree repair is described in a very thorough and understandable manner in a new bulletin just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, as F a r m e r s ' Bulletin 1369, Bridge Grafting. The aubjcct matter is illustrated with a large number of photographs of actual grafts which make the method readily understood by the amateur. Bridge grafting may be used on almost any kind of fruit tree that admits of being readily propagated by grafting. In practice there is occasion to resort to it much more frequently with the apple than with any other fruit, but pear trees are often reason is apparent why the method should not be successful on plums and cherries. Peaches graft less readily than the other trees mentioned, and there may be some question as to the usefulness of the method in the case of this fruit. Bridge grafting is seldom used on shade or ornamental trees, but with some kinds, it would * 'Sir Loin of T-Bone Ranch" New Movie "Sir Loin of T-Bone Ranch," a new motion picture just released by the United States Department of Agriculture, is of interest both to the cattleman and the consumer, for it not only depicts the range cattle industry but also offers suggestions as to how to pick good meat on the city retail market. Incidentally it should be of interest to the public in general, for it includes range and other western scenes full of color and stirring action, and many scenic shots of great beauty. The film is designed to point out the fundamental principles of good cattle husbandry, with special reference to the production of choice beef. The hero of the story is a young ranchman who comes to the city with a fine bunch of steers, gives his citybred aunt a short course in the a r t of selecting good beef on the market, and meets a girl who disturbs his peace of mind. The girl later goes to teach school in the cow country, where she again meets the young rancher. She visits his home ranch and gets first hand information on the range cattle business. The succeeding scenes, in which the young rancher rides over the range with the schoolma'am and shows her how good cattle are produced, girea opportunity for portraying various phases of the industry. The love •tor* is merely sketched in, Irat it serves as a vehicle for setting forth the leaaons in cattle management that the film is designed to T-Bone Ranch" is in It wfll ha distributed probably prove successful in overcoming certain types of injuries. Mechanical injuries which may be remedied by bridge grafting are usually inflicted in one of three ways: By animals t h a t feed upon the bark and tender wood, by insects that burrow through the growing layer of bark and tender wood, or by implements used in the tilage of the orchard, usually the result of the carelessness of workmen. The animals liable to do the most damage by girdling are the common meadow mouse, pine mouse, pocket gopher, and rabbit. Injuries caused by diseases such as "body blight," sunscald, etc., which girdle the trees may bo successfully treated by this method of grafting as well. Bridge grafting is done in the early spring about the time the trees are starting into growth, the same as in cleft grafting for the purpose of topworking. It does not matter if the trees to be bridge grafted have started slightly, but it is of great importance that the scions be perfectly dormant. The chances of success are materially decreased if the buds on the scions have started appreciably. It ia often necessary to secure the scions some time in advance of the A CONCRETE FLOOR FOR THE GARAGE PARTMENT Anyone can lay this garage floor and Its convenience makes it almost a necessity.

It is waterproof and oilproof, easy to keep clean, will not rot, easy on tires and it never wears out. Besides, it is so simple to build that almost any home owner can put a concrete floor in his garage. First of all the soil should be excavated about six inches below the level intended for the top of the floor. If it is necessary to fill in at any place, care should be taken to tamp the new loose earth thoroughly so that the floor will have a good solid foundation.

The department conservatively estimates that at least 2? per cent of the clip will bo handled under the Federal standards. One prominent wool-growers' association stated t h a t its 210 members had been benefited by the use of the grades and that the standards were bein<» used in developing a grading system during the current year. A leading wool manufacturers' association said t h a t the grades yere to be used by its members. A worsted yarn manufacturer declared that he has found the standards helpful in making purchases of wool or tons. A prominent top manufacturer said that 'h*3 erades assist in keeping his tops grades standard. The wool department of one of the large packers said that a large numl »er of people outside the wool trade entirely unacquainted with the system of wool grading, a* well as members of the trade, were pleased that the d<*- partment is developing a wool standard for the country. The mar:if"r of a leading wool pulling establishment stated that the grades are valuable in keeping pullers in line as to erade?. Correspondence has also been received from manv individual growers, dealers, and spinners. Requests for a large number of sets of the standards have already been received by the department and requests are coming in rapidly from both domestic and foreign wool interests. It is expected that a sufficient number of sets will be distributed to the trade to make possible grading of the 1924 clip according to Government standards. Hints on Mating and Breeding Professor E. C. Foreman Michigan Agricultural College, East Lansing, Mien. Strong, vigorous, well matured parent stock is necessary to the production of healthy robust chicks Every member of the breeding pen should be pure bred and selected on the basis of constitutional vigor and heavy egg production. Ordinarily the male bird that shows strong masculine tendencies while young will prove a valuable breeder of early laying chicks. In body conformation the male should possess a broad flat back, as indicated by the width across the hips; which should carry back uniformity to the pelvic arch. A deep angular body is also desired in selecting an egg typo male. Slow feathering males, with abnormal or twisted wing feathers should be discarded. The progency of such males are usually slow developing and difficult to raise, in addition to being inferior producers. Inbreeding or breeding from low vitality stock should be carefully avoided. Immature pullets that are laying small eggs do not make very desirable breeders, although well developed pullets laying normal two ounce eggs generally give highly satisfactory results, both in the percentage of eggs that hatch and the low mortality of their progency. Forcing for production is usually detrimental to the hatching qualities, this is especially true among the heavier breeds. A more ruggd type of fowl should be bred that is capable of withstanding forcing methods, including both artificial illumination and highly concentrated feeds. The desirable type of breeding male is one that has 200 egg breeding, matures early, feathers quickly over the entire body, especially the back region, crows early, and when mature, has a large solid, compact body. The head should show a well developed comb, bright, prominent, expressive eyes, moderately narrow skull, full face of medium length. The females used in the breeding pen should likewise be well matured and should be selected on th<> basis of winter laying ability. An age limit of two hundred days from the time of hatching until the first egg is produced should be demanded of all pullets included in the breeding pen. The better laying strains, inrluding the heavy breeds, will have a large number of pullets laying when 165 days old. Yearling hens are trenerally considereH the most desirable breeders, although well matured pullets mated to strong, well developed males will produce strong vigorous chicks. Feeding the Breeders The importance and influence of proper feeding is seldom recognized or appreciated in the production of good hatchable eggs. The breeding stock should be sound constitutionally and, moreover .they should be properly fed to maintain t h e best possible physical condition. Over fatness, due either to faulty feeding or to the natural disposition of the hen, usually results in a high percentage of deaths in the shell. The feeding practice should be so designed that the hens are continually busy. Deep litter feeding of scratch feed is important in maintaining healthy, vigorous breeding stock. Heavy feeding of wet mashes during cold winter weather usually suppresses all inclinations to exercise, and may even be followd by outbreaks of colds, if large numbers are confined in single units. The huddling that usually follows heavy wet, mash feeding, during cold weather, is almost a sure indication df off condition, which registers a corresponding slump in production. Forcing methods also exact their toll, usually by lowering fertility and hatchability. This is to some extent an individual characteristic, as some hens are naturally more rugged than others, and the physical strain of production affects individuals differently. The feeding practice will have to be modified, and to some extent regulated according to the age and general flock conditions. Protein rich feeds, especially those of animal origin, with the exception of milk by-products, have a slightly detrimental effect on the eggs' hatching qualities. For this reason the breeding stock should be fed liberally on skim-milk, buttermilk or some of the other milk by-products. This will permit of reducing the meat scrap content of the dry mash from 20 to 10 per cent, without lessening production and at the same time improving the general physical condition of the hen to such an extent t h a t the eggs produced, hatch approximately 10 per cent better. Green feed is an extremely important factor in relation to hatchability. The vitamines that are so essential to both health and growth are found in quantity in the more common green feeds, such as sprouted oats, cabbage, etc. In addition to containing these physiologically indispensible substances, green feeds are extremely palatable, stimulating the hen's apptite, thereby increasing food consumption, with a corresponding increase in production of good hatchable eggs. A good feeding practice is one that will keep the hens in good flesh, thereby indicating that the physical strain of production is in no way interfering with qualjty of eggs produced, and at the same time avoiding all tendency towards sluggishness or fat production. The hen that is sufficiently rugged to yield heavily during the winter months, with or without the aid of artificial illumination, and shows no inclination towards moulting, in addition to producing eggs normal in size, shape and shell texture, is the most desirable type of breeder. The following ration is suggested for breeding stock: Scratch Feeds:—3 parts cracked corn, 2 parts wheat, 1 part heavy oats. Dry Mash:—30 per cent cornmeal, 20 per cent bran, 20 per cent middlings, 20 per cent ground oats, 10 per cent meat scraps. Skim-milk or buttermilk: Green Food;—Choice of sprouted" oats, cabbage, etc. Oyster Shetb—Grit, granulated bone. CARE WITH ALFALFA BRINGS SUCCESS Let It Soak la When the colored couple were being married and the clergyman read the words, "love, honor and obey," the bridegroom interrupted: "Read dat ag'in, parson; read dat oncet mo', so's de lady kin ketch de full solemnity of de meantn'. Ise befo'."—American The accompanying photographs show results of s test conducted by the Michigan Experiment Station to determine the effect of the various fertilizer treatments upon alfalfa. The two plants were selected as fairly representing the average of the crop grown with lime and acid phosphates (at the left) and with lime alone (at the r i g h t ) . Success with alfalfa depends largely upon how carefully the grower takes steps to meet the requirements of the crop. Plenty of lima and thorough drainage are absolutely essential. In easts wfeere clover or alfalfa have not grown su cis—fatty befara, tike svtt •feottld be tnocvlstad. Wfcfla tfca \ crop, doubtless, will do best on wall drained fertile loams and clay successful fields have bean lished on soils ranging froan light enough to plow, to clays a t heavy as to be worked with difflculty. The best growers have found it advisable to feed alfalfa liberally at the start Although a nltrngan § • ! • ering plant, it does not form for soma time. Therefore, a nlete fertiliser may well be 1 first, the nitrogen probably oasitted later on.

The creeping child needs a play pen so he may move around at times when others can not always watch him. The play pen may be purchased or home-made, or merely a fenced-off sunny corner of a room. It is a great advantage if children can have a play room of their own. It is not just to expect a child to be careful about the family furniture unless there is some place where he has rights of his own—some place where the family must respect his belongings. But speaking of giving children room to play, there is no room like the out-of-doors. In the choice of a home for children, outdoor space where they can play and run is a very important thing to think about. If it is not available near the home the child should be taken frequently to parks and country. Even if there is a yard or place to play small children often do not want to stay outdoors away from the mother and this suggests the need of suitable outdoor playthings: sandpiles, safe low swings, soft balls to throw and run after, boxes to play house, and other simple things that cost very little but keep the child contented and safe in the open air. Sand boxes can be built and used even on a porch or roof. For small children probably nothing also gives greater pleasure. Most children are perfectly contented for hours playing in a sand box. For those a little older, larger s w i r l s , low ladders, teeter-boards and horizontal bars the child can use to suit his own ideas and his own imagination are blocks to build with, magazine pictures to cut out, blackboards, paper and colored cravons, clay for modeling, wagons, dolls and furniture, and miniature animals and men. Among the mechanical. toys, railroad trains are of lasting interest to small boys when they can a r r a n g e the cars and tracks in different kinds of systems according ti Lneir own ideas. The essential thing is that something shall be left for the child to do himself and not too much done for him. Under this condition play develops the quality of initiative in the child It develops his natural abilities, whatever they may^be. This principal-does not mean that children do trot read materials, suggestions, and w h i t may be called instruction in their play. Even children who for hours amuse themselres depend on suggestions from older children or the mother of sometimes from reading, for ideas. They depend -T. others, too, for som€ demonstration of t h e way to go about a new activity. When once they have a start they invent and work out variations of their ovn. J u s t as with playthings, some material must be furnished—not too much. P a r e n t s sometimes give theiv children quantities of toys but fail to realize the need for any of the other kind of play material; inspiration and ideas. In this need there are great possibilities for education —possibility for l e a r r m g in the easiest, sur<*t way. in less time, and enable the farmer to get around easily during the darkest and stormiest nights.

This material is like very thin linen crash in the natural coloit/ Frequently it i.-; embroidered with wool, but often it is simply edged with colored bias binding. One very elaborate curtain, which hung flat under the side draperies, had a huge basket or worsted, filled with flowers, applied to the lower edge. Both the basket and the flowers were first crocheted and then iipplieri to the design, which had been stamped on the cloth. This material is very inexpensive and exceptionally artistic in effect. Pillows of this same gauze are mounted over foundations of colored silk. Frequently a large flat bow or ornament of ribbon decorates one corner. There are many interpretations of pillows of t r a n s p a r e n t materia over colored foundations. In fact al sorts of puffed and corded creations of loveliness serve as pillows. Black Georgette Patterned with large cir cles of flowered silk was made ovec e r i s e - t a f f e t a .

D. Tucker of the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau, in an article published in Michigan Manufacturer and Financial Record, sums up the tourists 'trade in Michigan and gives some interesting data and information about the "Copper Country" that our readers will eryoy, so we are publishing the entire article. "When Detroit first came into prominence as the center of the automobile industry of the United States the cry went up—"Watch Michigan" —ajid Michigan, answering the call, haa climbed to the topmost pinnacle of prominence in that industrial strata. "Back in 1842, when the news of the discovery of copper in the nowfamed 'copper country' of upper Michigan was flashed to" the world, the cry went up—'Watch Michigan' —and Michigan at once climbed into the lead of copper producing. "Two years later, the first lode of raw iron was disclosed in upper Michigan, and again the cry—'Watch Michigan'—another industry shot ahead in its rapid progress. So with lumbering; so with agriculture—and n«w a still more unique development comes to Michigan. The state is rapidly climbing to the fore in this newest and latest of her industrial enterprises— the tourist industry. "In spite of the fact that Michigan claims a revenue of some seventy- five millions of dollars from her tourist trade of 1923; in spite of t)\e vast number of summer resort colonies and establishments which have sprung i p throughout the state during the past few years; in spite of Michigan's constantly increasing popularity as a national tourist objective, this great industry is yet in its infancy, as far as Michigan is concerned. Of this we are confident, for it was not until a comparatively short time ago that any concerted effort was made to attract the vacuum- mounted, gypsy stream into the Wolverine state. "The other phase—and it is that in which we, 'up north,' are particularly interested—concerns the expansion of the Wolverine tourist trail northward, across the Straits of Mackinac, into Cloverland—the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, "A short time ago—just two or three years at the most—the ventnresome soul who risked that perilous journey north over the 'Great Divide' which separates the two peninsulas; and who, undaunted by the 'dense, impenetrable forests' and the 'trackless wastes' of upper Michigan, pushed on to Sault Ste. Marie, or west to Manistique, Escanaba, Marquette, the 'copper country' and the various other thriving communities of the peninsular-was looked upon very much as the world looks today on Stefansson, the intrepid explorer of the frozen north. For that man was, indeed, possessed of the daring and courage of a Spartan. - ^ ^ _ _ Well, perhaps, in a way, he wa? somewhat of a brave soul* f o r t i u s ! a few years ago, some of the road? weren't the best; the ferry service across the straits was uncertain; the communities "up here" were scattered, perhaps, with not too many facilities for the tourist visitor. There were no tourist camps nor state parks. There were the hotels, but these were largely capable of accommodating only the commercial traffic which "made" this territory for years. There were garages and service stations, but sufficient at that time only to accommodate the immediate needs of the individual community. There were no information bureaus and reliable information was hard to get, because there wasn't any. Perhaps it was somewhat of a risk, after all. Then came the awakening. The Upper Peninsula of Michigari, spurred on by stories from her sister peninsula below the straits, set about to capitalize the limitless wealth of woods and waters, hills and valleys, and the invigorating atmosphere. It war in 1917 that the first energetic tourist advertising campaign was launched by the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau, an organization devoted to the general industrial growth and progress of the peninsula. Th* effect was, immediate, though really mediocre, compared with the developments of the past few years. During 1917 about 700 tourist cars were ferried across the Straits of Mackinac, including the traffic both north and southbound. Cloverland looked on with awe. These "hordes" •f summer visitors comprised a new element. They were strangers in a strange land. Sensing the future, the hotel keepera, garage men and citizens of the peninsula set to work to prepare for the following->season. Another advertising campaign was launched. And 1918 foun& a still greater increase in the* trafte. Then came the tourist camps. Realising that the hotels of the region were being taxed to ca paillj, the various communities se' aside certain tracts, convenient^ IscaesJ, where the tourist yttth hit mat and eamp. Today, prac tically every community in the peninsula has its tourist camp, And so in 1919, '20, '21, '22 and '23. During the latt*» year five state parks were established in the peninsula. These will be further developed! and officially opened to the tourist in the spring of the forthcoming season. During 1923, also the tourist traffic reached a new high mark, it being variously estimated that from 85,000 to 100,000 tourists visited the Upper Peninsula of Michigan during that season. Communities, varying in size frtm a few hundred to 18,000 and 20,00« population, reported a revenue from the tourist business alone, during 1923, from $500 to $100,000. New hotels' and summer resort localities made their appearance, while the older establishments began "brushing up." Correspondendingly, the conservationists have "perked up." The road program is being pushed with all possible speed. There is a movement on foot to conserve the forests about the inland lakes and along the main touring highways. There are, today, in upper Michigan, over 100 tourist information bureaus, where reliable data on routes, accommodations and ether essential features may be secured. Each bureau is equipped with an attractive sign, designating it as such. Each bureau is supplied with maps, folders and other necessary material—this service, with the signs, being provkicd by the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau as a part of its tourist-service department. Finally, there have been received reports which definitely establish thcrapid $ate of increase in the tourist traffic, north across the Straits oi Mackinac into upper Michigan. The reports concern the number of tourist cars carried across the Straits, dur-> ing 1923, by two ferries which operated there during the past year—the Ariel, owned and operated by the state highway department, and the Waw-Waw-Tam, operated by the Michigan Central Railroad. The report of the state highway department shows that from July 31 to November 19—the period during which the ferry was in constant operation— 10,379 tourist cars were ferried across the Straits. And 1923 marked the first season's operation for the highway department's ferry, Ariel. In addition, 2,418 passengers, exclusive'of those carried in the cars, were "toted" across during that period. The total revenue from thi^ traffic is given as $28,432.'i0. Similarly, the Michigan Central Railroad reports a total of 9,423 cars ferried over the Straits from April 1 to the close of the tourist season early in December. And now comes the announcement by the state highway department, that two new steel ferries will be put into operation with the opening of the tourist season of 3924, to accommo date what is confidentially looked for ward~to- as^trrein the history of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Well, anyway-^'Watch Michigan.r - o Courtesy of Michigan Farmer. Weather Cool at North Pole The airship Shenandoah, on the United States navy's expedition to the North Pole next summer, will not find temperatures as low as those this winter on ther Atlantic seaboard, is the belief of M. B. Summers, weather observer in Seattle, who established the .government meterological station at Point Barrow, where Alaska juts farthest north into the Arctic ocean. Summers was transferred to Seattle from Juneau several months ago. Summers said that the coldest June day recorded at Point Barrow, which is 1,117 miles from the pole was 12 degrees above zero and thr coldest July dap-fit above, t h e rangiest June was from 23 degrees above to 56 above. In this month only two 'days were classified as clear. . The Shenandoah is more likely to encounter rain than snow, in th( opinion of Summers. "Toward the pole it will naturally be colder than at Barrow's," he said, "considerably so, If there is no large body of land between Alaska and the pole. If there is an Arctic continent or a large island, radiation from the sun's ray* will make it warme* «nd more nearn the temperature of P*rrow. But in any event I do not believe that there will be zero temperatures at the pole in July or June." • • o A report filed with the auditor general of Michigan shows that the state.will collect 1936,6*63 in inheritance tax from the estate of John F Dodge, Detroit automobile manufacturer. The collection will go into the primary school fund. ii»*iwym&jy»vwvws>m*^ Lansing, Mick—What is called the coal basin of Michigan occupies the center of the lower peninsula, yet only the eastern and southern parts of the formation have proven coal areas. Michigan's first coal was mined in 1835. It is all bituminous. There appears to be no steady demand for it. Large proven reserves of coal exist in Bay, Saginaw, Tuscola and Genessee counties. First available records in Michigan's coal mining operations are found in 1860 when 2,320 tons were mined. Most of the coal in the early days was obtained from veins exposed or at shallow depth in the vicinity of Grand Ledge, Eaton county, Jackson, Corunna. In 1870 coal production reached 28,150 tons. In 1880 100,800 tons, and for the following two years it exceeded 100,000 tons annually. In 1883 a sharp decline began and production fell to only 36,712 tons. It was not until 1897 that the production again exceeded the 100,000 ton mark. In that year the Saginaw and Bay county fields were opened and production jumped to 223,592 tons. The industry continued to grow rapidly and, four years later, in 1901, the production was nearly 1,250,000 tons. The maximum output of 2,350,858 tons was reached in 1907. Following 1907 a rapid decline set in and contion was only j1.,z2u01i.,z2a3u0 tons. P°r~o d u ct i on remained praeticaHy-stati ary until 1917, when it increased to 1,374,805 tons. The gain was due not only to the great demand, but to better car service. The shortage of freight cars as well as of labor in 1916 was an important factor in keeping down production. The car situation in 1918 was improved, but labor shortage was an important fact o r i n limiting production. During 1919 two new shafts were opened, one two miles east of Co- Tunna, another three miles west of Calvin Coolidge was indorsed for the Republican presidential nomination and R. B.

Two mines suspended operations, one in Genessee, the other in Shiawassee county. Production in this year decreased to 996,- 545 tons, valued at $3,864,228. In 1920 production increased to 1,489,- 765 tons. Eighteen mines were operated, four in Bay county, eight in Saginaw county and one each in Calhoun, Clinton, Jackson and Tuscola counties. Lee Trott, postmaster general at the state office building, handles thousands of pieces of mail daily, except Sunday He has been postmaster from the time the new building was opened and he can call more ^ates employes by their first name than any other man or woman at the capitol. Postmaster Trott's record for public service, while not a long one so far as state matters go, nevertheless extends over a long period. He is a veteran of the Spanish- American war, emerging from that strife with the bars of a captain. He took an active part in the war work in Muskegon county and has been prominently identified with state politics for years.

The Bureau of Dairying, Department of Agriculture, shows for 1923 that milk depots buying cream on a butter fat basis were checked for the first time. One tester's license was revoked out of 2,169 issued for the year. There were 286 ice cream licenses issued by the state last year. One hundred twenty-one prosecutions were made by the dairying division of the Department of Agriculture for 1923, convictions scored in each case. Sixteen counties in Michigan have less than 3,000 children of school age each, while 28 counties have more than 10,000 children each. State engineers built 43 miles of concrete and 29 miles of gravel road in the Thumb district last year. In the city of Detroit there is one automobile accident every five minutes. Two hundred schools in Oakland county vied for three prizes offered for the best safety posters in an effort to eliminate automobile accidents. Two hundred prisoners are spending the winter months on road work, grading and getting things ready for the spring rush. Mackinaw park area has been enlarged by the addition of 612 acres at a cost of $75,000. This land originally was a grant from Great Britain to Michael Douseman, and later patented by him to this government. On it the British and American forces fought in 1812.

UNFAIR ATTEMPT TO COLLECT BOUNTY DETECTED BY HUNTER Government predatory-animal hunt ers must not only know how to trap and poison stock killing wild animals, but must be on the alert to detect h u m a n attempts t o obtain rewards fraudulently by exploiting the hunters, according to common experience anion;: these men. As an instance, last August H u n t e r (.'. E. Gillham was detailed by the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture to the Avidia district of Arizona, with in structions to destroy a notorious wolf that h;rd- been running on (hat ran^e for the past nine years. Bounties of $511 to Si.ino had been ottered for it by stockmen, but without success. Last winter this wolf had killed 10 sheep in one niyht, in addition to the hundreds of calves and yearlings it had attacked previously. Althniif? shot at many l i v e s it had always escaped, awl also it managed to avoid t r a p s and poison hails. It was agreed that (Jillhani would undertake to tret the wolf on condition that all bounty otters be withdrawn. After trailing the old thief for about five weeks, the hunter found a yearling heifer killed by it within a mile and a half nf Ajruila. Me dra^jred it behind his automobile for a mile and put out poisoned baits made of its flesh. T h e day after he put out these baits, lie 1'oend the carcass of a bi^' coyote that usiiallv followed behind the wolf in its cattle killing expeditions, but no trace of the wolf.

The boweli become weak and unable to perform their functions without aid. >For this purpose only the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age and older on account of their gentle action.

A Story of Michigan in Civil War Days L "What a life to live!" he ejaculated, biting his lips till they bled. He swung his clinched hands upward and cursed the Government, the President ana Tom Woodrow in particular. His> maddened spirit ran riot for a time. Back in the gulch was the feed, enough to last several days. When that was gone Rachel would come again. It was cruel to live like this, realiring that he had no light to. see is is babe, to speak the name 01 her he had so recently promised before God and man tfi love and cherish until death. The Government was a frightful monster; Siberian exile under a Crar's decree were better than this. "And they call this a free republic!" he scoffed. "It is a barefaced lie! I could throttle such a government with good grace. I am hunted as if I were a beasi cl* prey. Well, they will find me worse than that if they dare molest me in God's free wilderness!" fiachel moved more boldly on her return. She soon gained the wagon road and was hurrying forward when her ear caught a sound—the jingle and clang of metal against metal. She was now in sight ot her home. She saw a group of mounted men drawn up before the humble log house. With bated breath she hurried forward. These were different sort of men from the ones Tom Woodrow had led. They wore uniforms and sat likecentaurs. Long sabers dangled, and there were revolvers in the holsters. Ah, she understood what they were —soldiers from the camp at Wingdam 1 She had never seen such before. The tramp of armed men, the roar of guns and rattle and clash of aoouterments were wholly strange to the young wife of Thornton Clantf, scaler. Her reading had led her to believe that men of war ware fierce, mustached fellows, with horrid front and scowling features. But here were mere boys, smootho f face, with curls of snnny ha»r and smiling joyous eyes —a happy squad of young chaps out for a lark. Her surprise and relief were*jrreat. "Here she comes now, Captain!" called a voice. The man who had dismounted and approached the cabin door, turned to meet the approaching Rachel. She was agreeably surprised to see again the smiling face of Ranger, once her husband's friend and helper. He was clad in uniform now, wearing the straps of a captain. "Ah, Mrs. Clang, I am pleased to meet you again." The young Canuck captain doffed his hat with his old time smile. He fell respectfully back as she approached the door. She plied the key and opened this; turning on the threshold to face the officer. "If you are seeking my husband you will not find him," she said with plain defiance in voice and eye. "No? I am sorry. The boys allowed Thornt might have repented. Such things do take place sometimes you knew, and I'd hate mightily to have to shoot a man—" "My husband is not here. I hope you will go about your business and let a lone woman alone.** Rachel stepped back and slammed the ••or in the young officer's face. r/' . i i E<rJ*'-'.- , CHAPTER V. Heard in the Night There came a burst of laughter from the mounted men. This was disrespectful of course, but the members of the Seventh were fresh from the fields and woods, undisciplined in the faays of the army, and they were not above making game of a discomfited army officer. fettled at h<» rude dismissal, CaptatoL Ranger pressed his knee against the door and forced it shivering from its hinges, . . , "Look o' that, boys!" exclaimed Bruee Carney, a youngster of twenty proud of his sergeant's chevrons. "The CspTl beat out the woman yet!" Again a roar of laughter. Facing about, Captain Ranger shook his clinched hand at the scoffers. "Keep a civil tongue in your head, Carney, or I'll tie you up and have yoa flogged!" "I'd like to see you at the job, jeered Sergeant Carney, his gray eyes mapping. "When I let a blasted Canuck tan my hide M l be after today." / ~ The captain crossed the threshold. Rachel was nowhere to be seen. A fajat wail from the rear .room sent him there in search. A year-old infant put tip its chubby hands in inaoetnt appeal. The intruder bit his Up with keen vexation. He had been •^patched with orders to capture Thornton Clang at all hazard. The I c y h e accompanied the'provost marthai the young recruit w o r e a . p l a i n dtteen's garb; since then the uniforms of the Seventh had arrived and the •boys" were only too glad to dash t o w s country lanes and make a show- 6 * before gaping rustics. The unifbrm had a strange effect It gave the rank and file an aided importance ejpi elevated t h e lowest of non-comcmed ©fleers surprisingly. Every free* corporal t o colonel, "felt hills. He picked up the babe and turned it about with a toss and a shake. "A young traitor like your daddy no doubt." "That is a gratuitous insult, Rolfe Ranger!" There before him stood the youny mother, with blazing eyes and flushed cheeks. Beautiful in her wrath was Rachel Clang. The eye of Captain Ranger took in every tint and wavt that crossed the fair face, dwelt with ravished intentness upon the curves and graces of.her fine form. He smiled and dropped the infarJ back to its resting place; then hLs hand sought her arm, his fingers pressing rather firmly the delicate flesh. "I know all you would say, Rachel Clang," he affirmed. He continued to study her fine, womanly face with intense scrutiny. She recoiled in anger, her shrugged shoulders and flashing eyes speaking her intense scorn far louder than mere words. "I hate you, Rolfe Ranger, and I—". "Now, now, how foolish, my dear," he broke in. "Pray don't let your feeling's master you so completely. Listen to a bit of reason, Mrs. Clang. You ought to know that the Government will eventually get this husband of yours. It can be only a matter of a few days or weeks; but even if it takes years the thing will be accomplished r.nd then all your suffering will have been for nought. I am here in tho name of the Government at Washington to demand the surrender of Thornton Clang. I appeal to you Rachel, He will be guided by your wishes—there's never a man who wouldn't yield to a pretty woman. 1 have no thought of capturing him today, but it is with you I came to reason—" "1 do not care to listen." The lines about nor red lips had tightened; a steely glint filled the young wife's brown eyes. He realized that he was making no dent in her the great benign Government at These two had met casually at evening parties in the settlement, had been neighborly if not friendly. Now — but why importune a silly, infatuated woman, whose every thought was centered in the man he hunted? "You may rue the day, Rachel—" "Stop!" with an impatient. "You have entered* my home like a robber and i shall never respect you again, Uolfe Ranger." She turned to the crib, caught little Thornton in her arms, huddling his soft, small body tightly against her heaving bosom. Into a chair she sank, cowering in helpless misery, sobbing out her woe upon the child's white robe. Captain Ranger stood an instant viewing this scene. He felt a shrinking littleness within. Why should he impose his hated presence upon this delicate, broken-hearted mother? He raw himself in a new light, the light of the persecutor of the innocent, for the great benigh Government at Washington did not make war on women and children. Flushing with shame Captain Hanger turned and walked from the room. He had certainly gone far enough in kins at-the-time. The t w o sat under a tree near the shanty adjointing the mill property of the Burridge Lumber Company. Crickets were chirping their evening lays, while the song of the mosquito was heard through the smudge that smoked up the adjacent atmosphere. Pete was sometimes employed about the mill. His principal work, however, was that of a river pilot. He had returned from the mouth not an hour since, having piloted a double raft of pine lumber down the stream. "Say, wouldn't dat make a calf .snicker?" chuckled Pete, removing his pipe to give place to a grin. "I reckon as how dem soljer chaps might do somefin' ef dey'd go at urn right." 'Yes,', admitted Jack, who was whittling and mediating. "Wat dey tink, eh?" "You tell, Pete, I never will," returned the boy with a laugh. He could not help thinking how safe his brother- in-law was from the claws of the pan. The man stood half bowed and listened to the distant tum-tum of the big drum. It sounded warlike. Many a time in his youth had this man thrilled at the sound of fife and drum. On Fourths of July the backwoods thrilled with sounds of patriotic celebration. How they had cheered the flag and been thrilled by the words of the speaker who praised in no sinted measure the heroes of the Revolution. Up there in the straggling street the band was playing now. The sound awakened olden memories. Yankee Doodle, the Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic airs were pestering the brain of the conscript. He had a country once. He had been proud of his descent from the old heroes of past wars. His grandfather fought at Lundy's Lane with Scott.it* Once he had flushed with pride over these facts. Now, in later days, came this idea of state rights. Somehow it ad appealed to him, and it excused his Yankee Eagle. It was now several' selfish plans of remaining at home days since his visit to his sister a&d while other men went forth to die for the boy was almost repenting his the flag. harshness on that occasion. Women were queer he knew, and why should Rachel prove an exception? He liked to talk with Indian Pete, who was known and respected for a long way in and about Hemlock Run. "Must t'ink white runaway dum fool," continued the halfbreed. "Go after dem draft snaks wid drum and boss! T'ink dem hidin* fellers come out coz git scare, eh?" "How would you manage it, Pete?" asked Jack. "Pete do dat easy," and the old fellow settled back chuckling. The &mudge in the pan began to blaze, lighting up the stolid features of the halfbreed with a flickering weirdness. Jack watched his buckskin countenance curiously. The boy and Pete crying: Slowly the man's head sunk upon his bosom. The band was playing a lively air across the river. He heard shouts of an enthused and patriotic people. Up there in the night sky flamed a rocket. The men of the pines were not behind their brothers of the city and the town in their devotion to the Union. "What is right?" quavered from the man's lips. He raised his head and gazed at the starry heavens. "I have been put upon and reviled. I have a right to my opinions, a right no man shall dispute. No foreign soldiery shall show me my duty. I know my own—ah!" Tho mutterer recoiled. A heavy hand fell upon his shoulder, a voice WEEK OF MARCH 9 The average weather condition in Michigan for the week of March 9 will show precipitation heavier than for the past week or two, while the temperature will run t o extremes. The maximum temperature for the week will range near the 50 degree mark and occur ..during early part, while the'minimum will range close to the 20 degree mark occurring within two or three days folowing the high mark. The week of March 9 opens in Michigan with a very severe storm of wind, rain or snow; more rain than snow, however, although this will depend considerably upon local conditions of the various counties of the state. The influence of this storm will be fert considerably in advance of the time of lowest barometric pressure. As soon as the barometer begins to rise, the temperature will drop rapidly to a low point, as mentioned above. There may be a reaction to warmer, but even in this case it will last only for a day, after which temperatures will again fall to a low reading. The days on which most sunshine will occur will probably be about Monday and Tuesday and Thursday and Friday. The balance of the days will average cloudy with the most precipitation during early part of this. week. ' Cloudy, threatening weather wiH agsdn appear to this section of the country about Saturday, at which time temperatures will again rise moderately high.

The elder Perkins had been very hlpful to him, and the old half-breed was kindly disposed toward the son. "I'd like to know how you would go about it, Pete," said Jack at length. "Tom Woodrow counts himself sharp as they make 'em, and he was beaten to a finish when he tried to catch old Thornt." "Ilim big fool too," chuckled Indian Pete. "Well, now, thats brash *ort of talk, Pete—" "Him straight dough," declared the old copperskin. "I- git urn dum queek ef dey tell me to. Ef T'ornton hear ole Pete on trail he come in mighty queek, you bet youm's life, eh?'\ Jack lifted his square chin and screwed up his eyes in thought. Here was something to be reckoned with. Why had not the officials put this old forester on the trail of the draftevaders? It was surely worth considering, anfl Jack could not get his mind upon anything else. "Dem fellers go out makin' great helloboloo. Might jes' as well beat tin pans, ring cow bells and yell out, 'T'ornt, T'ornt, we want yeh!' Ugh, ugh, sich dum foolishness! Make ache like what you call um—tired, eh?" And Jack could not deny the truthfulness of the halfbreed's criticism. The manner of the hunt had seemed ven to him nothing less than farcicial. "I think I'll speak to Colonel Delwater about you, Pete." "No, no," shaking his bushy black head, "dont do dat, Jacko. Me good friend wid Tornton; no care to fetch him in where dey keel heem."

C. Tiney, Chief Inspecting Engineer, State Highway Department (Read at Convention Michigan State Good Roads Association, East Lansing, Nov. 7, 1923.) We have, in the Trunk Line and State Rewarded Road Systems of Michigan about 12,250 miles of improved roads of which about 9,250 miles or 75 per cent are gravel surfaced. The general distribution of gravel throughout the state, together with the comparative simplicity of construction and low first cost of this type account for the large percentage of gravel surfaces. Since the advent of the motor car in large numbers the maintenance of these gravel roads has become one of the most serious problems confronting Michigan highway officials. The increase of the legal speed limit to 35 miles per hour has added, further, to the difficulty and cost of this maintenance. The'moisture of content of the gravel is an important factor in the work of keeping the surface smooth, as shown by the ready formation of ruts and holes after a heavy rain and the tendency, of the surface to ravel in very dry weather. The dry weather condition is probably the more serious as' it is usually coincident with the peak load of tourist traffic, and the patrol work is very ineffective without a certain degree of moisture in the'surface. v Several types of graders and drags are used in patrol maintenance. A survey of this equipment in the state shows that 53 per cent of the counties are using horse-drawn machines entirely, while the others have either wholly or partially adopted motor equipment. The larger counties prefer the motor equipment because of J the greater efficiency in covering a large mileage. The grader or drag pulled by a tractor, or the tractor and blade in one unit are used, but the most popular equipment, perhaps, is the two or three-ton motor truck with a spring scraper attached underneath. This is very satisfactory if operated at a speed of not to exceed eight or ten miles an hour butr does less effective work at higher speeds. The spring scraper is used only for floating loose material and should be supplemented by a heavy grader and tractor after rains, to plane the surface and eliminate ruts and holes. The gravel surface is "also kept smooth by^an occasional resurfacing with new gravel. A satisfactory material for this purpose is that ranging in size from three-fourths of an inch down and having about 75 per cent >retained on a one-eighth-inch screen. A partially crushed gravel has been found desirable. The application, if limited in depth to about an inch will not be objectionable to traffic, and this represents about the minimum amount of gravel that should Re returned to the road each year to replace that which is worn away. The road should have a covering of about one-half inch of loose material at all times, for efficient floating. One of the greatest enemies to smoothness in a gravel road is the oversized stone. Stone over one inch in__slze_should be rigidly barred from the dust, as this results in the formation of a surface crust which soon breaks up into holes and necessitates scarifying. If applied in smaller quantities at more frequent intervals, however, the dust may be reduced to a point where it is not objectionable and still leave enough loose gravel on the surface to be floated back and forth in patrol work. A uniform covering of one-half to one inch of loose material over the road surface before applying the dust layer is verydesirable. Sections, not having this cover are observed to glaze over and then break up into holes within a few weeks. Between four and five thousand tons of Calcium Chloride are used anannually in this state. The best practice is to apply from three-fourths to one pound per square yard for the first application and three-fourths of a pound per square yard for the second application, or perhaps make a second and third application of onehalf pound each, depending upon local conditions. A total of two pounds per square yard is usually ample to lay the dust for a period of three to three and one-half months. The cost of this work ranges from $225 to $300 per mile for a season. In some sections of the state, traffic and local conditions are such that one application of about one and one-quarter pounds per square yard, placed on an eight-foot strip in the middle of the road, renders it fairly dustless for the season. The Chloride on this eight-foot strip is worked to the edges of the road by traffic and patrol work, and under this system the cost has been reduced to about $125 per mile. Light Asphaltic Oil has not been used to any great extent in Miehigan as a dust layer, it having been tried experimentally during the last three years. About 44 miles of road were treated in 1923. The oil used eonformed to the State Highway Department's specifications for this material, and was applied by pressure distributor, without heating, The first application consists of one-sixth to onefifth gallon per square yard and renders the road fairly dustless for a period of about six weeks, after which r> / i It,.*' 4 ^ ; the top course during construction, and certainly should not be permitted dency of the large stone to work^to th etop by frost action is well knowiu Whenever a car strikes an obstruction such as a projecting stone, the springs are at first depressed and then expanded, lifting the weight of the car from the-road. When the springs return to their original posi Hon the weight of the car strikes road surface, causing small depressions. The spinning drive wheels also kick back some gravel • and increase the tendency to form holes. This process continues and the holes grow rapidly in sise and number until we have a whole series of corrugations or "chatter-bumps*" Wet weather and flat grades are especially favorable v to their formation as water collects in the holes and is thrown out by traffic, carrying fine binder material with it. — Perhaps the most disagreeable feature of the gravel road is d u s t The discomfort not only to the motorist but so the resident along the road, together with the danger added to high way traffic by dust, make its elimination or reduction a matter of prime importance to highway officials. On the secondary roads having a traffic up to about 300 Vehicles per day, the dust ia not extremely objectionable. Our traffic census showa that of the 3,245 miles of trunk line gravel roads, we have about 20 per cent or 660 miles carrying a traffic ef leal than 800. About S5 per cent or 14»5 miles carry a traffic between 300 and 600, while about 45 per cent or 1,460 miles carry over 600. A census of the county system would probably show larger percentages in the lower traffic divisions. Those gravel roads having a daily traffic of more than 300 vehicles de mand tome form of dust elimination er reduction if they are to render 100 per cent service to the public Two forms of dust palliative have been used in Michigan, namely Calcium Chloride and Light Asphaltic Oil. Tfteee'-two materials function in a stmfiar manner. Their p r o p * «•» does not permit of application la auffieJewt smaatttW to entirely eighth gallon per square""'yard" is necessary. The relation between the quantity of oil applied and the amount of loose gravel on the road is important. The above quantities would apply to a sarface having a uniform covering of about one inch of loose material. The most common error in oil treatment has been the use of too much oil in the second application, resulting in matting of the surface and subsequent roughness. The cost of two application work in counties doing a rather small mileage^ has been about $400 per mile. One county which is particularly well equipped for doing this type of work made one application on 41 miles of road this year at an average cost of $132 per mile. This was applied to a width of 12 feet. ' Summarizing our experience with Jto cleaning the edges, and traffic should not be permitted to use the road between the time of sweeping and treating. Bituminous material is applied first as a prime coat at the rate- of about two-tenths of a gallon per square yard, and allowed to penetrate for 21 hours or more. The second application is made in the amount of about three-tenths of a gallon per square yard, followed by a cover of Btone or slag chips or pea gravel. The hand maintenance which must follow this treatment is best conducted by mixing some of the same bituminous material used in the treatment with coarse sand. This is usual ly done with a small concrete mixer at a central location and the mixture is stocked in small piles along the road. Small surface breaks are easily repaired with this mixture. We have found that on gravel ,there is more tendency toward surface peeling, the first year, than there is on macadam. One man, equipped with a wheelbarrow and shovel, can under normal conditions, keep about 10 miles of road in good condition. This patrol work should be followed up consistently. The cost of maintenance of gravel surfaces having a daily traffic of more than 600, by the system of patrol graders, necessary resurfacing and dust pallatives, ranges upward from £600 per mile per year. A study of costs in a number of representative counties of the state would indicate that the relation between cost and traffic is, roughly, that the antfal cost of this type of maintenance in dollars per mile equals the average da;ly traffic. That is, a daily traffic of 800 to 1,000 vehicles means an approximate annual maintenance cost of $800 to $1,000 per mile. The cost of a bituminous surface treatment is about $1,000 per mile for the first treatment and $750 per mile for subsequent lighter treatments We have reason to believe that not more than threo treatments will be required in a period of four years, which would bring the average annual cost of treatment down to about ?f>25 per mile. In addition to the surface treatment we have the patrol or >»,"^»/.'ivj'.'M»y ".**/.••'•/•'.'••/.'^••";v»i Fertilizer for the Apple Orchard Fruit growers are recognizing the value of fert.lizer in the orchard. One of the problems of t.h^frnit grower is to get a good fruit crop. Ordinarily, if one blossom out of IS produce*, fruit a good crop will result. Frequently, however, only one blossom out of 50 or 100 sets fruit. Investigations have shown that there is a close relation, between the nitrogen supply in the twig at blossoming time and fruit setting, and that, by the proper use of fertilizer, the fruit grower can, in a large measure, control not only the setting of fruit, but the formation of fruit buds as well. Since an abundant supply of nitrogen in the tissues at blossoming time is a prerequisite to fruit setting, an application of available nitrogen, when necessary, should be made to the tree at' blossoming time, or a few days before, at the rate of from four to five pounds of fertilizer per tree. Experiments in which this method of fertilization was used, have shown increased yields of from 18 bushels to 24 bushels of apples per tree. A second problem of the fruit grower is to get his trees to produce fruit buds and blossoms. Fruit buds for the next year's crop are formed during the summer. The right condition for fruit-bud formation is a high starch content in the twigs or tissues during the tame the fruit buds form. Thus, since thestarch is manufactured in the leaves, a good leaf system is necessary. The application of nitrogen fertilizer to promote leaf development of the apple should tie made in the fall—in order that the/tree may go into the winter well supplied with nitrogen to enable it to doveloD more and larger leaves the following spring. No amount of fertilizer at blossoming time will increase fruit-bud formation for that season.

This cost compares favorably with that of maintenance by the system of patrol graders and dust palliatives, for roads of 800 to 1,000 traffic bituminous treatment would probably be the cheaper method for roads of higher traffic. Extreme frost action may necessitate scarifying and retreating some sections, but very little of this has been required on treatments of several years standing, in this state- One or two failures of surface treatments on gravel have been partly due to lijck of proper attention to details in placing the treatment, ,but largely due to the absence of patrol or patch-work, and these failures only serve to emphasize the importance of this latter phase of the work. Aside from the consideration of co?t, dust layers we believe that the thmgs most essential to their successful use are: The size of an egg is largely an i each week, inherited character and can be changed most permanently by breeding. This involves size of the hen as well as her ability to transmit the size of her own egg to the eggs of her offspring. Small hens do not usually lay as large eggs as do larger hens. A real heavy layer, such as a 300 egg hen usually lays a smaller egg than, the 150 egg hen in the same flock. The bird laying heavily all winter-dues not lay a s i a r g e an egg in the spring as the hen that has loafed all winter. Flocks of mongrel hens, or those of mixed blood, usually lay eggs of various sizes and colors. Feeding has some influence on the size of the egg. Thus in hot weather when food in nature is dried up, the e^ggs are not only less numerous, but smaller in size. The size can therefore be improved by keeping hens so they can manufacture large eggs and setting for reproduction only such eggs as would be suitable for a first class market. Misshapen eggs are rather hard to eliminate from the flock. They are caused by some malformation in the oviduct of the hen, or by excitement of the hen when the shell js still soft. Real small eggs with no yolk are No male should be allowed in th flocks after June first and no egg exposed to heat or odor. Quality exists largely in proportion to the way eggs j»re kept and the producer should be as interested in seeing that the consumer gets good quality as he is in seeing that he buys good quality of products for himself. When eggs are bought and sold on a quality basis, first class products will be assured. o Feeding Hay to Poaltry When we realize that a hen makes eggs containing Tall the twelve elements needed in human nutrition &nd makes them out of raw material, we see how necessary it is that she be supplied with the needed ingre cMents for producing eggs. Egg* contain iron, snd most of this iron must go into the fowls system through the green leaves they eat. That is why poultry must be supplied with clover or alfalfa throughout the winter. Ground alfalfa is used extensively in poultry rations, both in the dry mash and in wet mash, or sometimes as steamed greens. Greens fed in this way are good, but we find hay preferable. In the first place, the ground alfalfa seems rather heavy and the birds do not relish it as they should. Besides this you will notice that when the birds are fed hay, they leave the hard woody parts and eat only the leaves and tender parts, A little observation will show you that any animal that is in a reproducing condition will consume more leaves and green food than when they are not reproducing. For that reason, a hen that is laying needs more green food than when she is not laying, as some of these elements used in building eggs are taken out of her system every day.— SuTcessfuT~Tarm er; o First American Legion post in Illinois named for Woodrow Wilson was authorized last week when Jacob Legion Tenny obtained confirmation from Legion"headquarters in the state of the issuance of a charter to Woodrow Wilson post No. 276. EASILY MADE .FENCE POSTS By W. G. KAISER Agricultural Engineer the bituminous surface treatment con-1 c a U g e d by the same thing. First—Proper control of tKe~hfaT terials by specifications. Second—The presence of a uniform covering of loose gravel on the road before treatment. Third—Application in sufficiently small quantities to avoid solidifying the surface. A r stated before we-have s o m e 1 * 4 400 miles of trunk line, gravel roads carrying a traffic of more than 600 vehicles .ner day and ranging in some cases to as high as 3,000 per day. There are, in addition, some county gravel roads having a daily traffic in excess of 600. The ultimate solution in case of the heavy traffic gravel road is, of course, to reconstruct with a permanent type of pavement. The time required to finance and build this large mileage of pavement will necessitate the maintenance of some heavily traveled roads for a number of years. A partial solution of this maintenance problem may be found in the bituminous surface treatment on gravel, in the same manner as applied to macadam. We now have about 5o milea of this type cf maintenance in the.state. It cannot be successfully used on all kinds of gravel and should be attempted mainly on those roads containing a high percentage of stone, thoroughly completed. The nearer this approaches a macadam structure the better will be the results of treatment. A few of these roads received! *•*» one. verts the gravel road into a higher type.

Twenty-six miles were given a first treatment in 1923. The principles governing the surface treatment of gravel roads conform very closely to the established practice in tirfato treatment of water bound macadam. In preparing the surface, sufficient blade work should be done to eliminate ruts and holes, Thia work may b e continued to advantage* op to within two or three days of time of treatment, provided the gravel contains, enough moisture to shape weft The surface ia then thoroughly swept, removing all loose material a*d expoerqg the large^tone.

A lack of sufficient minerals such as oyster shell, limestone, bone and salt may not allow the hen to manufacture egg shells as fast as she can yolks and whites. Soft shelled eggs are caused by absorption. Generally such eggs can be eliminated by p r o p e r feeding. Cracked eggs are entirely the fault of mismanagement and due to improper litter in the nests, too few nests and careless handling and packing. How Obtain Inferior Quality An egg when newly laid can usually be considered of highest quality and strictly fresh. The longer it is held and the higher the temperature and humidity, the more rapidlv it deteriorates. If in addition to time and heat, the germ be fertilised by the male, spoiling will be assured. The hen when producing an egg, sends from the ovary the ovum or female germ with the food volk. As it oasses on down the oviduct, the white, membrane,, and shell or put on.

A Story of Michigan in Civil War Days \r .'# w/A-•r/^yaC^"'*^/'^. :<v-"'>^ >» ^ CHAPTER VI. Two of a Kind- There was an instant's struggle. Clang felt the ground, slipping from beneath hia feet—he was going down. Captured at last! And over the river tumped the drum, while cheers of the excited populace gTeeted his ears. He would soon stand cringing before his masters! Fate had been against him from the start. He made one effort, then sank helplessly prostrate. "So you would defy the Yankee government, T h o r n t o n Clang-" as a boy, thrilled over them. But, when the test came be stood, not with Jackson, but with the nullifiers as represented by Calhoun and Yancy. beard, shaded by a down-drawn hat brim, was really not the smooth, fair countenance of the old-time jolly Darwin Forbes. A sudden hush fell as the mac stepped into the circle about the fire. One of the large boys eyed Lhsj newcomer keenly. Jack Perkins had found it difficult to breathe in the crowded hall and had sought the outor air. "Come to enlist?" queried he suddenly. There was a familiar look about the man despite his change of apparel and his sodden countenance. The boy was curious and alert. He was an enthusiast where the Union was concerned. To call the old flag jeered a voice. "You succumb to Thornton Clang?" sneered the other "Come on," urged Forbes, taking 1a d l r t v r a * i n ^ presence would his companion by the arm. h a v e * * * " ^ l n v i t e l r ^ i m t battle. "What's the use?" demanded j I n every stranger, too, Jack scented Thornton. "Those folks across the river did not invite u.s; we'd best stay away." "We might surprise 'em all the same." "And be made the butt of Abolition jokes! Not for me, Forbes." "Is this your boasted courage, than go south to shoot your brethren one puny man! to be sure!"

Them fellows have chuckld, and muttered: "If there added 'coward 'to their vocabulay was only a reward now!" And then Thornton felt sudden relief. A hand jerked him to his feet, "Mebbe 1 shall." muttered Forbes in v. ply. "Better jro ri^ht inside and hear Cap'n Ranger." "What, is that blasted thief talking?" burst out the man with sudden feeling. Ranger had on one occasion defeated Forbes for a petty job and How weak we a r e l . .

He continued to eye the newcomer keenly. The voicv struck a note of remembrance which Forbes had been incautious enough not while the face of a companion in iniquity grinned at him through the gloom. "You, Darwin Forbes!" gasped the relieved conscript. "Does it look like anybody else, Thornt?" The speaker was shaking with inward laughter. He held his sides and churtled and snickered in a way that made the other furious. "Shut up, you blamed roared Thornton. "Do you hear that? The patriots are making a big noise preparatory to departure for the South." "Well, I ain't deaf," informed Forbes. "Did I frighten you bad, Thornt?" "No, of course not " "Served ye right if I did. What foolishness to beard the tiger in his lair. Don't you know there's men in the Burridge gang that would delight to snap you up and turn you over? Hear them devils yellin' like coyotes! Huh, I'd like to wrastle old Delwater for the peanuts. Say, what when speaking of you. Do you like *° dlsgiiise. it?

Although we can't see it for the darkness, I know the rag floats there. It may be unguarded, Thornt, let's steal up in the dark and pull down the gridiron and stamp it into the ground!" The speaker seemed beside himself with rage. "That rag, Forbes—what do fool!"j mean?" "I mean the gridiron these Yankee hireling sneaks yell themselves hoarse over—the old flag if you please, a dirty Abolition rag that's—" "My God, stop, Darwin Forbes!" commanded the listener in husky horror. "How dare you speak like this of—of our flag?" "Faugh!" burst forth Forbes, the deepest contempt in his voice. "Don't call that rag our flag. Why, don't you know that ours has a crops with stars? that three bars and a circle of stars is the one we worship? Hurrah for the Southern Confederacy!" "Hush, Forbes, hush." warned Clan;:;, his face white and quivering. a captain," muttered Forbes. "Well, he's a good one! It needs a foreigner to lead in this crusade against the South. These gosling chaps from Canada way are gittin' to the front like ducks in water. I'd think Old Abe'd be plumb ashamed of sich company." "See here!" exclaimed Jack Perkins, bridling instantly. "We haven't any use for traitors in Logtown. What you here for? I'll be blessed if I don't beilieve vou are one of them draft youUneaks~"' Forbes lifted his face and scowled. His teeth were set and an angry light shone in his eyes. For a half minute boy and man faced each other, glaring defiance, then a low cry fell from young Perkins. "You're Darwin Forbe-s!" he exclaimed. "I thought I knew yon." Jack sprang across tTie separating space and caught the arm of the illvisaged conscript. "Call an office]1, buys, quick!' shouted the boy. Several started to do his bidding. The muscles in the arms of Forbes swelled like whip-cords. His fist was raised one instant, then shot straight forward with terrific force. Jack Perkins measured his length on the gras.-.

Jack began working his way forward. There were ladies present at the meeting, and Jack felt a pair of eyes riveted on him as he advanced. Half way to the enrolling desk Jack Perkins halted. His impulse came near landing him within the folds of Uncle Sam's army-—not quite. He halted with a recoil. What was he about to do? This was no time for rash action. Bounties were uncertain elements just now. He shrank with grim inward quaking when he thought how near he had come to losing his presence of mind. He would stand by Rachel even if he lost caste in the community. He knew she had been ostracised by the better element of society on Hemlock Run. He was not blaming the people, since the wife of a traitor and coward must needs shoulder a part of his iniquity. "Here's another soldier for Uncle Sam!" shouted a voice as a hand pushed the Perkins boy forward. Jack surged backward and scowled. "Jack Perkins, by thunder! This way, Jack, I'm with you there!" A tall youth pushed forward with extended hand. Josiah Meadows was a good friend of Jack, and had all along agreed to enlist whenever his neighbor said the word. Perkins smiled grimly as he felt Josiah's hand in his, "No, 'Siah, no!" exclaimed J nek. "I forgot—I cannot go tonight. Later I may think about it." "Now is the accepted time, my hid," urged a voice. "Yer a plumb fool it veh do «o." .sn«Hjred another voice. "What the 'ell d'ye want to be made a target of jest fur a passel of blamed niggers! Stand fur yer rights, Jack. We know what yeh think. Thornton's the best man in the community, and the hull county's yellin' mad at his heels coz he won't go back en his prhieiples."

This may be in rain or ^^¾¾ ts= Happenings ings of the Lincoln crowd. Come on, old man, let's go over." The man thus importuned turned and walked a shoYt way with his companion in misery. Why should he fear? His country's flag waver from the top of the staff before the town hall, the flag that had floated over Perry on Erie's wave, the gorgeous ensign of the Republic! Had he r.ot a right to stand beneath the folds of that banner and feel proud of his citizenship? Truly. He marched on beside Forbes, breathing in the cooling atmosphere of the wooda, feeling new life and hope coursing through his veins. Of a sudden he came to a halt They had reached the end of the bridge spanning the river. A wild blare of music floated across the water. The flag was waving, the crowd shouting, general enthusiasm prevailing and he was not a part of it all. "Ain't you coming, Thornt?" demanded Forbes, who halted and faced his friend. "What's the use, Darwin? You know—" "Yes, I know we ain't in it with the rest of the boys. Shall I tell ye why? the Stars and Stripes if I would, Forbes." "Then, if you think so blamed much of the gridiron, why in the name of the devil don't you fight under it? Or is it tjue, as they say, that you are more of a coward t.ho" a Southern sympathizer?" The clinched hands of the listener, his scowl of anger and quake of limbs betokened the manner of thought that met the words of Forbes. He controlled" himself with an effort. Was he what his friend suggested—a coward? Had he the courage of his convictions? "I will not argue," he said simply. "I should think not," sneered his companion. "I am going to cross the river; again I dare you to follow." Forbes turned with a scoff and stepped briskly forward upon the bridge. Clang stood stolid, waiting. Once he leaned and wavered. It had been something to take a dare in his boyhood days. Now—well, tonight it was different. He had no desire to go among his enemies. He felt that Forbes was foolhardy to think of it for a moment. "Come on," called a voice from It's for the good reason that we can't. far out upon the bridge. For artstomach Old Abe and his methods. Isrwer the lone conscript turned on his He's a sectional president, and has,heel and walked back into the no right to coerce a state." !shadows. Forbes had heard this argument j Forbes did not linger. He was confrom more learned men than himself; tvinced that his friend vras not cornhe may have believed it. At any r a t e ; ^ arid* he had fully decided to look those men of intellect and power who,jn u p o n the meeting before the town go about dealing in cutting witti-;nRn. u p the stream a few miles in sore need of more boys in blue at the front. "I know all about that," he said with a sud smile, when someone called his attention to the draftevaders. "Theres enough of them to fill our quota, but even though we had every man jack of 'em here tonight it would not change the conditions. The Seventh is a strictly volunteer organization. We will have no conscript in our ranks. They will be sent to the front to fill into the depleted ranks of old regiments where they cannot hope to escape their just duties." "Why don't you smoke out the d—d Rebs?" shouted a voice. "That is what we have been trying our best today. You know how that brave man, Tom Woodrow, came near losing his life trying to get one of the draft sneaks. It is hard to smoke out the rascals when they have friends right among you who aid in secreting them. Let the cowards go; we can win our battles without their help. I can honor an honorable though misguided enemy; these home traitors are beneath an honest man's contempt." Such were the words, met with a ringing cheer, that greeted the ears of Jack Perkins when he entered the room. His head was swelling from Fhidson Maxin. scientist and inventor, believes tea and coffee to be intoxicants within the meaning of the Volstead act and threatens to brin^ suit to close cafes in which these beverages are served unless the enforcement authorities do something about it.

March is one of the transition months of the year and temperatures normally are rising gradually to and above the freezing line, hence a little variation one way or the other will either freeze or thaw the precipitation. We believe, however, that the week will be mild for the season. Thawing Weartber; Fltxxi* In those sections of the state where snow is Btill on the ground, this week will make short work oi a great quantity. This naturally means higher river stages, and we believe it will be only the alternate freezes temporarily stopping wholesale melting of snow that will avert dangerous and destructive flooding. There will be two high temperature points this week in the state, one very close to Sunday and the other on or close to Wednesday. As temperatures will be gradually on the increase from the 12th, we expect the highest point for this week wiD be reached during the middle part. Following each crest there will be a sharp reaction to cooler, affecting Michigan about Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Muck Wind Movement The storm areas that will effect the state will produce considerable wind movement during and afte! their transit. Moderate rains oi snow flurries at beginning of week will end with high winds during Monday or Tuesday and clearing. What will probably prove to be a more severe storm than that of the early part of the week will hit Michigan during the middle to latter part. Winds will amount to gales on the Great Lakes surrounding Michigan, endangering early shipping. During this time rainfall will be moderately heavy in many parts of the state. The week loses with generally fair weather in the state and temperatures decidedly lower than those expected during middle part of week. o Preliminary reports received by nireiYe.- ident Coolidge on the tariff c mission's wheat investigation arc parried by him as indicating that tlv present wheat duties of :10 cents a bushel probably should be increased.

Up to a recent date the boy had thought it his duty to enlist. Of late, however, a change had come over the spirit of his dream. Why it was may readily be imagined. The act of his brother-in-law in turning against the Government, making himself an outlaw, decided Jack to remain and look after Rachel, gloomed the bustling city of Wing-! who was his only living relative, ar>d dam.

Her cowardly husband, as matters stood, was no help to her. When the beak of the law should fasten him, as it was sure, sooner or later, to do, poor Rachel would have a hard time to make both ends meet Jack felt deeply on this subject. For Clang he had only furious anger and contempt. Rachel, by clinging to him, had angered her brother, but she was still his sister, which fact never once left his consciousness, and he was in duty bound to stay by her to the_end.

A young woman who was reared in an Eastern Kansas town read i>i a poultry journal that poultry-raising was remunerative, ao she decided to try it. She purchased a hen and set her on thirteen eggs. She wrote to a poultry journal that poultry-raising was much to her liking and wondered how long the hen should remain on the eggs. The paper wrote back, "Three weeks for chickens and four weeks for ducks.' Later she wrote to the poultry journal as follows: "Many thanks for your advice about the setting hen. She remained on the neti three weeks and at the end of that time there were no chickens hatchd. As I did not care for ducks, I took her off the nest and sold the eggs."—Exchange. o Clever at That Elsie, aged six, returned unusually early from school the other day. She rang the door bell.

The very words, ^starting to school," make one think of t h e morning scene so frequent in American homes—the scene we do aot like to think of as typical because we always resolve it will not happen again, b u t which somehow keeps on happening: Late rising, time for only a hurried breakfast and a hurried trip to school. The children may eat too little or e a t sa rapidly that digestion is interfered with. In either case they have not the energy they need for the morning's work; they tire easily and they are to« tired to eat well at noon. If a meal is slighted the loss is hard to make up later. The same thing is t r u e if the lunch is hurried or inade. quate and this is one of the great points in favor of the hot lunch -served at school. The time has passed when schools were expected onl»* to train the mind without consideration of the body. In many communities school nurses and doctors are employed to give regular examinations to all the pupils; nourishing fo<,d is provided in the schools for any meals the children can not take at home; personal hygiene is taught and games and exercise to develop the body properly are directed by expert leaders. But no matter how much the schools may do for children's health, the greatest res e n s i b i l i t y rests with the parents. P a r e n t s know that schcol children need several hours more sleep than adults. The number of hours they need can be tested on a Saturday or Sunday or holiday morning, letting them sleep till they awaken naturally. Fix their bedtime at any hour early enough that they may waken naturally every morning. P a r e n t s should see that school physical ar d mental strain. While they need activity of all kinds, nothing they do should be carried to thr point of fatigue. Children need more food in proportion '„o their weight than adult; need. Between six and twelve they are said to need about three-fourths as much as an average man, and over twelve they may need almost as much as a man. This again is because their food must provide for growth as well as for body repairs It is more important for children than for adults'that their food should be simple and easily digested because their digestive systems are so much more easily disturbed. Don't take any risks "just once" with foods that you know are hard to digest Again it is more important for chil- ' dren than it is for adults to have an adequate supply of the special growt) -producing foods or proteins, and te have sufficient minerals and vitamines. Children need calcium and phosphorus for the growth of thtbones and teeth and tissues, and iron to help the blood carry on its work The foods which more thkn any others insure these elements in the diet are milk, butter and eggs, together with green vegetables and fruits. Whole grains aiso are valuable for these elements, and bread and cereals | furnish a considerabteVpart of children's heat and e n e r g y . ^ Q o n ' t over- ] do the sweets. That is"^vhere the j mother's wisdom and care must be exercised. All of us tend to over- | eat this class of food. 1 The meals should be balanced. Plan everv meal to contain some P a t t e r n No. 3 2 1 There are few persons who don't like hot muffins or pop-overs. They are easy to make, delicious and wholesome. The materials that go into them, principally flour, milk und eggs, make a particularly nutritious combination. Whole wheat muffins with butter and a glass of milk, for instance, make an excellent luncheon combination because together they contain practically all of the food elements the body requires. Plain Muffins Two cups bread flour or two and one-quarter cups pastry flour, three teaspoons baking powder, one-half tea- ;,oon salt, two teaspoons sugar, one or two eggs, one and one-half cups sweet milk, three tablespoons shortening. This recipe will make eight large or twelve of medium size. If sour milk is used instead of sweet, use one half teaspoon soda and one teaspoon baking powder. Sift the soda with the other dry ingredients. All measurements a r e level. Sift the flour once before measuring. Mix and sift the dry ingredients. Beat the egg slightly and add the milk to it. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly Add the melted shortening last. Bake 11; well greased muffin pans in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) about -5 minutes. If the muffins hump up to much in •he center and crack open, it means that there is a little too much flour f>T the kind you arc- using. If this happens, make a note of it on the recipe so that when you make them aeain vou can use the right amount vo ur kind of flour. Pattern No. 424 The<o plain muffins may be varied by o.sing more sucrar anrl more shortening and some kind of fruit, such as dates, blueberries or cranberries. If cranberries are used, cut them in half and dip them in sugar beforw they a r e mixed with the batter. These a r e delicious. Chocolate muffins make u rather good variation. The chocolate is melted and added to the batter with the shortening. W h o l e Wheat Muffin* T h r e t cups whole wheat flour two cups milk, one and one-half teaspoon salt, six tublespoonf ul sugar, four and one-half teaspoon baking powder, one egg, one tablespoon shortening. This recipe will make twelve large muffins. If sour milk is substituted for sweet, use one teaspoon soda and onehaJf teaspoon baking powder. Sift the soda with the other dry ingredients. All measurements are level. Meas ure the whole wheat flour before sifting. Mix together the dry ingredients. Stir t h e bran that is sifted out back into the dry ingredients. Mix the milk with the slightly beaten egg and add this liquid to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly and add the melted fat. Bake in well greased muffin pans about 30 minutes in a hot oven (425 degrees F.) B r a n Muffins Two cups bread flour or two and one-half cups pastry flour, two cups bran, five tsp. baking powder two tsp. salt, MX tbsp. sugar, two cups sweet milk, one egg. one tbsp. shortening. If sour milk is used instead of swec-t milk, use one tsp. of soda and ere t s p . of baking powder. Sift the sevda with the other dry ingredients. All measurements are level. Sift the flour once before measuring. Mix and sift together the flour, baking ''•'•-- salt and sugar. Stir in the :ix the milk with the slightly beaten rgg and add this liquid to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Add the melted fat last. Bake in ahot oven I 12o degrees F.) about '50 minutes. 11 ( w r. ( bran.

The Fox in the Well One day a Fox passing by a farm- 'er's well happened to be thirsty and stopped to get a drink. When he stooped over he fell in the well, alone • came a Wolf, hearing the Fox, stopped to see what was the matter. He sa\« his cousin Raynard in t h e well. The Fox told the Wolf that he saw somet h i n g glitter in the well, so jumped in to get it and he had his pocket; filled with gold. The wolf too eager i « r a ahare wanted to help him out, - S c t h e Fox told him to ~et in t h - bucket at the brink. The wolf being heavier went down and the Fox came « p . The Fox jumped out and said thank you Mr. Wolf I'll leave the treasure ail to you, as he disappeared across the lot. Yours very truly, F a y Clark.

The way to carry cake is to wrap it up ir leaves and put it in your hat and gf home." So the next day, he asked his Mamie if he could go to his Granies piace. His mother said yes, so he went. When he came there his Granie gave him a pound of butter, th<ri he thoucht o* what his Mamie told him to do with the cake, so thought that he would do that with the butter.

Sightseeing Busies May Cover Michigan Pikes Muskegon—The so-callH "rubber neck" wa^on of the b:g otk*h m a y d e _ cide to go far afield. In ihi-se day a of good roads there docs not seem to be any reason why olleetivc- sightseeing should be confined u> the cities. An indication of the further possibilities is glimpsed in the inquiry recently made along Michigan's west *hore by a representative of the Chicago, Milwaukee & North Shore Railroad. This representative recently visited the Greater Muskegon Chamber of Commerce and discussed some details of the proposal. A series of weekly tours through the chief cities of the state is proposed. The route laid out would be H13 miles long, 624 of which is well paved and all of which is graveled. The company will send a car over the route in March To determine whether ouch tours would be feasible. The Chicago, Milwaukee and North Shore railroad puts on weekly tours to the principal cities of Illinois and Wisconsin, s t a r t i n g from Chicago each Monday morning. It is the purpose of the road to put on the Michigan tour if road conditions are favorable, both for its scenic and educational value. The route laid out includes visits to the automobile, pure fcod, educational and furniture centers of the country. The route would take the parties to Benton Harbor and St. Joseph over M - l l and there include a visit to the House of David. From there they would go to Kala mazoo; Battle Creek, Jackson, Ann Arbor and Detroit along M-17; Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw and Bay City over M-10; to Owosso and Lansing over M-14 and M-47; to Grand Rapids over M-16; to Muskegon over M-46; and returning to Chicago over M - l l , visiting Grand Haven, Holland and other cities on the t r i p down. The company's tours are made in large Flageol bussts with a chauffeur and touring conductor on each car. The tour laid out provides for the d e p a r t u r e from Chicago Monday morning and return the following S a t u r d a y night- Chambers of Commerce throughout the state will be asked to co-operate with the local chamber m this matter. o U. S. Weather Map Explained Northern Michigan HunU Scrub Bulls Beware of Mexican Oil Scheme* Michigan Bank Deposits Gain $104,600 000 Washington—Almost everyone is familiar with the large weather maps located in public places, such as railway stations, postoffices or government buildings. The weather bureau of the United States department of agriculture issues a printed explanation of the weather map, telling in detail what the various marks and lines mean, and how the map ie read. Tbe daily weather reports consist of observations of tin- barometer and thermometer, the velocity and direction of the wind, .-tatr <>:" the- weather, and amount of rain or snow. On the weather maps solid lines, called isobars, are drawn through points t h a t have the same atmosphoreic pressure. Dotted lines, called isotherms, are drawn through points that have t h e same temperature. The direction of the wind at each station is indicated by an arrow which flies with the wind. Shaded areas are sometimes used to show areas of rainfall or snowfall. Tabulated data give other details. The center? of areas of low barometric pressure a r e indicated on the m a p by the word "low" and the centers of the areas of high barometric pressure by the word ''high." In the northern hemisphere winds blow spirally inward, counterclockwise, toward and around the. center of a low, while from the center of a high they blow spirally outward as the hands of a clock move. These facts influence the direction from which prevailing winds a t any point are blowing. There are r a t h e r well-defined storm tracks which may be traced on a weather map, and very definite indications of the character of approaching weather changes which may be found on the weather charts. Topography and the location of land and water areas with regard to the place where the observer happens to be are, of course, important factors in weather changes. o — State Building Many Roads Marquette— Scrub bulls in tne upper peninsula of Michigan are in bad repute and none from other sections are wanted in that region. 11 of the 15 counties m the upper peninsula of Michigan have organized purebredsire campaigns, and as soon as a sur vey is taken to locate the unprofitable, poorly bred bulls, active economicwarfare will be waged against them. In fact, scrub-bull meat will be the piece de resistance at a big Cloverland barbecue to be held in December, 1924. Committees of leading farmers are in charge of the campaigns which anbeing conducted along original line-. The U. P. Development Bureau has issued purebred-sire blotters containing statements which show that scrubs are a short cut to a mortgage. The blotters are significant in suggesting the mopping up of the scrub element.

Cuddy, A director of Adver-; tising of the Standard Oil Company ; has a keen sense of humor. The following story is credited to him: A merchant keeps hens about a mile away from his home, and daily Ins wife fetches home about fifty For three consecutive days now she I has found all the nests empty. The : henhouse door was intact, so was the ; lock, therefore how had the thieves1 got into the shed? She could not tell, and Mr. and Mr. ! Henfruit sat up the three nights dis- | cussing the thefts and how to catch the thief. But they were baffled. On the following morning, when | returning fruitlessly from the shed, she met all the hens, on the road, j nearly half way between the shed and I the house. Whatever they were doing there she could not tell. When she next went to tend the fire I she was surprised and delighted to find a solution to the mystery. There in the coal place were all her egg". "Now, how thoughtful of those hento save me the trouble of fetching th• • ergs," she thought. She fully understood the matter, when her husband got home that night and told her of having seen all their hens in a row on the fence, locking at a new poster that read "Now is the t inn to lay in coal." o Corn Kings of Michigan Lansing Bankers. Chambers of Commerce and other community and civic organizations have been asked i by the Michigan Securities Commission to warn the public with respect to the oil schemes that are now com- i ing out of Mexico. The Commission i says: "Activities of Federal author! ties' and state securities officials of California within the last few months have driven fake oil promoters out of the southwest and Pacificslope sections resulting in the conviction of Dr. (look of pseudo North Pole fame, S. E. J. Cox and others. Finding the atmosphere there too feggy for their .schemes, many of the lesser lights of this gang have migrated to Mexico. Since J a n . 1, they have been bombarding people in this country with oil promotion circulars in an attempt to collect more hard earned American dollars. The U. S. government has, in conjunction with the Mexican government, held up a lot of this mail at the Mexican border, but some has slipped through. Some of it has been received by Michigan people who are in the socalled 'sucker list.' "The public should pay no attention to any oil schemes sent from Mexico by mail. The i-V^nce^ nre they all emanate from this gang of crooks. Mexican oil schemes, even properly worked, are at best a wild gamble, owing to political and governmental conditions in that republic at the present time. Keep away from any schemes which come out of Mexico. So far most of the spurious plans have originated in the City of Mexico. Vera Cruz and Chihuahua. If anybody gets any of this literature or is solicited by mail to pur- ! chase stock in a Mexican oil or min- j ing scheme, don't buy. Either send it to the Securities Commission or take it to your banker and have him | send it to the Securities Commission for investigation." n .

For 192'-!, deposits in Michigan state banks increased over $104,600,1)00, while total loans in state banks increased approximately $90,000,000. Rediscounts and bills payable decreased approximately $4,000,000. Of the total deposit increase, approximately $79,800,000 was in savings with but approximately ?" 1.800,000 in commercial.

WATER TROUGHS By W. G. KAISER Agricultural Engineer THE construction of a concrete trough like that shown in the drawing is not a. difficult task and any U r m c r can build it. A watering trough should be placed on well drained ground, because under the best of conditions the livestock will in time make mud holes unless a platform is built, or the boles around the trough As the concrete is placed it should be spaded next to the forms in ordrr to force the larger rocki. back into the mass. and let the mortar work out a^ain^t the forms, resulting in a smooth, den-*.- bur face. As soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to be sell-sustaining, the inside form is removed and the interior OUR POU PARTMENT W h e n you get this tank finished it will last as long ms you'll probably r w r need it. are filled in as soon as they are made Sometimes it is advisable to put the trough on a small knoll in order that the water will quickly drain away. T h e ground under the trough should oot only be drained but also leveled and packed. T h e outside forms of the trough are made of one inch boards and 2 by 4-inch pieces as shown in the drawing. After these forms have been securely braced, the concrete can be deposited in the bottom to half the depth of the floor. Reinforcement consisting of I\ inch round rods are then placed on the partly constructed floor. These rods are bent in " U " shape so that the ends will project u p into t h e sides a n d reinforce the walls. All the rods are bent to the proper shape before any concrete work is started, so that they can be quickly put in and the remainder of the concrete floor placed without delay or making any joints. The inside form which has been made previous to mixing any of the concrete is then quickly lowered in proper place and fastened to the outside forms with clamps as shown in the drawing. Speed is necessary in order that the walls can quickly be placed so there will be a strong bond between walls and floors. In order to insure water-tightness a :: 2:3 mixture of concrete is recommended. This means 1 sack of cement to 2 cubic feet of sand and 3 cubic feet of pebbles or crushed rock. The aggregates should be free from sticks, soil or foreign material. Only enough clean water should be used in mixing to make concrete of a jelly-like consistency. Concrete pavement? of the trough given a cement wash made by mixing cement and water until it is about as thick a s cream. This wash can be p u t on with a n ordinary brush or broom. T h e wash will m a k e a smooth surface a n d insure water-tightness. The new trough should be kept moist by sprinkling for at least 10 days before using. The inside of the trough is given a slope o u t w a r d t o w a r d the top. This is important because if water freezes in the tank, the pressure will lift the ice and thereby prevent the formation of cracks in the walls. For a trough of the size shown in the drawing, the following materials will be needed: M A T E R I A L S R E Q U I R E D F O R T A N K Outside dimensions 3 ft. 2 in. b y 8 ft.

Regular habits in eating, sleeping and exercise can hardly be started Lou early. But character training becomes most important when the child is first conscious of his own individuality, when he realizes that he is something different from th erest of the world. At the age of about threo to six years children begin to enjoyment of secrets. tention can be attracted when someone says: let me tell you a secret.' cause he is just beginning to realize his own individuality. It dawns upon him that the contents of his mind can not be seen or known by other people. About this age many children pass through a period of being' contrary and defiant. At the -aame time they are much influenced by suggestions. A child of four may refuse to eat some article of food and afterwards cry for it when he is told he cannot have it. This period soon passes over and if the child is tactfully managed it will" be very short. Obedience to commands should be secured always, and the child.should understand the difference between a command and a suggestion,—but commands should be few and simple. They will have greater force than if they are frequent, and control can usually be secured by other means. The young child is very sensitive, and praise for the good goes farther than blame for the bad. If you praise him for being good and tell someone how good he has been, he is good. But if he hears you say he is bad, he believes it, and is bad. In the same way, if he hears you say, for instance .that he can not sing, he believes it and he does not learn to sing. Many cases of delinquency or of inability to do certain things in later life can be traced to the mental impressions of the early years. About the beginning of the school age, children usually take another definite step in character development. The school supplements the home in the work of training, but the greatest influence at this period is the influence of other children. Group standards have great weight with the school child. He suffers keenly if he has to go against the standards of other children of his age, if he is compelled to wear a tt-anmurk arid loyalty. But his group or gang needs leadership and while they usually find it from an older one of their number, this leader him.self needs leadership and ideas. Boys and girls are very quick to follow the lead of an expert Scout master or club leader or coach. They are fond of feeling useful and important, A wise man said he could make over an unruly gang with a yard of ribbon for badges. The discipline which boys will undergo to win the letters which are worn by a school team is a proof of this point. j By the age of twelve the child has formed habits hard to change later, | habits regarding the care of the body and everyday behavior and politeness [The forming of these habits is influenced by the standards of the persons whom the child looks up to. He is very imitative up to this age and the parent who is patient and courteous with a child has in the long run a child who is also courteous. If a child is persistently hard to manage, it is usually on account of unwise management in earlier years, | when the child finds out perhaps that crying -and coaxing will get him something which has been forbidden. If trTe training of the early years has : Pattern No. 424 been consistent, at the school age children usually can be controlled !

A Story of Michigan in Civil War Days :.Ya\?v*C/»v.y*c<a\../*\r/*\i./a\U*\..^ Despite the elation creaUjd by the ( "Better be a widow and done with conscript's proposition, Tom Woodrow never once lost hib caution. He kept his hand on hrs pistol and his eye on his visitor. He suspected an ulterior motive, an act of treachery. It was not like Forbes, the terror of the camps, to do things because of a pricking conscience. "And now what is there in me, T o m ? " "Why, what you asked for, safety from punishment, providing you do as you say, return yourself to the ranks." "That is ail quite the sweet thing of course," and a jarring laugh fell "But there must be a more substantial consideration. It's money I w a n t — " "I thought as much," uttered the impatient Woodrow. "You are an arrant knave, Forbes. I think we will call this meeting off." The marshal rose quickly and touched a button near his chair. He did not press it, however. The look it,' dclared one unsympathizing, neighbor. " ' T a i n ' t as if she didn't' uphold him in it; that's the worst feature." "Well, I don't know," hesitated h e r ' husband. "You see, most folks would see something to commend in a wif_* stickin' by her husband. It's scripter; the roots of his no^e to crown. B^ sides the disadvantage of a hooked rinse and umall, watery blue eyes h'o liice was thin and bony to the last degree. John Andrew Delwater owed his position to a political pull I rather than to an excessive merit. j There were many officers of his ilk in the army, some of whom acquitted I themselves with honor. j "Ah, Mm. Clang, I am very glad J to meet you," and the commander of | a thousand good men and true shook her hand, a half smile straggling with his thin lip which he tried in vain io ; suppress. "I am here Thornton, Mrwater." Her brown eye« fell before the gaze of his watery blue ones, while a constriction of her throat almost choked her. She had noticed the hign pickets t h a t shut in like a prison nt to see you about -er--Coloner Delit for anyhow, and^ I think Rachel Clang ia . the north end of the parade ground ut>out right It was here she surmised the contJhat crossed his visitor's face was f o r > a n d t n e t i r e ( j housewife appre "Very likely you think so," with a scripts were herded, and the sight toss of her carroty head.

I'd like to whisper a word in the ear of Thornt, that I would." "You'd delight in stirring up a muss," chuckled her husband. "Some women are never satisfied to let other folks' business alone." Baby Thornton was very good these days. The trials of his mother seemed to appeal to his baby sympathy and he seldom cried or worried. This was something to be glad startling—ferocity and fear comin gled. "Don't touch that, Tom!" There was a threat in the words. The man was no longer a supplicant; into his eyes there came a green flash of danger. Slowly he swept to his feet, a tall, menacing figure, with gritted teeth and strangling hands. The work and twist of the fingers inciated it. It was after a long talk with her husband that Rachel set her face toward Wingdam. The man held to his ideas while giving in to Rachel's pleading. "I'll give myself up and go to the war," he said, rather sullenly it must be admitted, "if the harpies of Uncle Sam will treat me as a white man should be treated. If I had a black dicated a desire on the part of their s k i n t h e w n o i e p u s h a t Washington owner to throttle someone. W o o d - | w o u l d f a l l d o W T 1 a n d w o r s h i p me. It's row belt a struggle coming and braced himself for i t "Have you anything further to offor?" demanded the marshal, no sign of fear on his impassive face. "It's as I told you, Tom I want money—" "What good will money do you while you are in the a r m y ? " "I can place it all right," returned the other. "I have a woman at Sand Flats—my woman, Tom, and a likelier one never lived if her skin is dark and her form impressed by corsets. There's a reward I know. Divide with me, Tom Woodrow, and it's a bargain." It was this or a battle for blood. Woodrow could see this plainly. He might summon help; he might shoot the fellow dead in his tracks, and he might make a miss of it entirely. In the latter case he felt himself no match for the muscular Forbes. "By thunder, Darwin, you are a cool one," greeted the marshal with a forced laugh. "You are quite right in saying there is a reward. I will grinding to have a nigger preferred to a white man, although it's only what might be expected. I warned the people when they were so wild for Old Abe. We're the laughing etock of all Europe. If it wasn't for Thornton boy and you I'd rot in the woods before I'd knuckle an inch to the scoundrels who prosecute this abolition war." This sort of talk was not new and Rachel accepted it for what it was worth. From being a stalwart defender of the flag the young wife had grown to accepting her husband's theories as more than half right. His mode of life as a draft-evader, however, worried her. Far better she argued to fight in a despised cause than to make of himself a martyr as I he had been doing. It was Rachel's I appeal for the young heir's sake that I had finally won over the hardened [heart of her conscript husband. "Good heaven*, come, let him the Colonel. him come!" exclaimed "I shall be pleased to hear what you have to say, Mrs. Clang." An aid placed a stool but the little woman did not sit. "He wants to come in, sir, a n d — " She hesitated for the right word. Her position was a humiliating one, and yet she wished to impress h?r aud'tor with a sense of her firm fai'h in her husband. "Good heavens! madam, let him come, let him come!" exclaimed the colonel, rising to the dignity of his five feet six, stamping about th*1 room his sword clanking against his spurred boots. "There isn't the shade of an excuse to keep him hidiiig like a runaway schoolboy. Where is he now?" "He is with friends." "By that you mean other draft skedaddlers, e h ? " Colonel Delwater's face crimsoned. He chewed the ends of his red mustache and reflected. This little It was late in the afternoon when j woman was too sweet and pretty to the young wife reached town. She; be the wife of a Rebel sympathizer, rode to the camp in a carryall which i Even the doughty colonel, a married conveyed visitors to and from the divide with you after we round u p ' refrimental grounds. Just as the carryall was starting, a stage with four horses attached, bowled up to the hotel door. It was loaded with men, young farmers and rivermen from the runaways." "Shake on it then." Forbes stepped nearer, extending his hand. Woodrow accepted this proffer of earnestness, but presented £n e back districts. his left hand, the right still holding! »How are you, conscripts?" yelled the pistol.

Coming out of a dingy little shop he saw a woman. Forbes drew close to the building and regarded her— the prettiest face he had seen in a long time. And the woman was Rachel, the wife of the man he was about to betray. She came slowly down the sidewalk. Her slender form was becomingly clad. The flash •f numerous lamps touched her abondant coils of hair—it was a mass of burnished gold! thusiasm. Here was no place for pessimistic whining; the very earth breathed enthusiastic reverence for Old Glory! It was a heroic time. Rachel smiled a little bitterly. She had been a patriot once, that time when she read in the newspapers of the tale of Sumpter's fall and of the outponring of a patriotic people in defense of the endangered Union. Thornton had greeted thi9 news with a sneer. She was sore for a time at his want of patriotism. When, however, the grim Tiand of militarism use "Such a woman!" ejaculated the snatched her protector, that was comeharmed rough. He had seen a n d | j n f r home with a vengeance. It was admired her many times. Tonight her n o t justice.

Forbes Bugged the w a l l . | i e t the volunteers do the fighting; if permitting Rachel to pass. He stood, m e n like Thornton chpse to remain irresolute for fully a minute, watch- n e u t r a l how wicked it was to ing the gentle motions of the supple yonng woman. He wondered what •he was doing in Wingdam at such an honr. He suddenly decided to follow in her steps. "Ah, but Thomt's a churl to let her waste her life like she is doing," breathed the man. "Heavens! but I could go to hell for such a woman!" And then Forbes rushed on in rapid pursuit, forgetting his little plot in his anxiety to speak with the wif« of the man he meant to betray. compulsion. Somehow, Rachel never quite satisfied her conscience with her specious reasoning. Down deep in her soul she knew that the call to duty meant Thornton as well as his neighbor. However much she dreaded separation, the dangers of malaman for many years, was visibly im pressed with the modest beauty of the deserters wife. No man came near to Rachel Clang without feeling that he was in the presence of a superior .voman, superior in qualities t h a t go to make up a pure and feminine nature. "My husband has the courage of his convictions, Colonel Delwater," proceeded Rachel, rising to the occasion, and not wishing to pr olong the interview. "He has ample justification for what he has done, but ho feels now it would be the honorable thing for him to come in and report for duty." "Right, maoam, quite right," affirmed the colonel. "I understand that volunteering has been slow of late and that the Seventh has not yet a full q u o t a ? " The little woman had found herself at last, and was speaking with quiet calmness that acquitted her of any desire to be thought emotional. "Quite true again, Mrs. Clang," agreed the other. "If such men as your husband had not shirked their duty the regiment would have been f111 long ago. The acta of American citizens like these are reprehensible, reprehensible to the last degree, madam. I cannot too severely characterize it." The little woman looked nt a flag that was half coiled about a post in one corner of the room. She was not afraid of the colonel, but, somehow his little twinkling blue orbs chilled her. The room, though well ventilated, seemed hot and stifling. "I will pass your fling at my husband," said Rachel, a tinge of red dying her thin cheeks, "and state that he is ready now to make amends as far as possible. He will come in and report at once providing he is guaranteed respectful treatment." "Eh? What's that? Respectful that moment. His insolent references to her husband hardened her heart and served to confirm her belief in the righteousnebs of the stand Thornton had taken with regard to the war. "Then I am to understand that you will not treat my husband as a m a n — " "As a man, yea, of course, madam" retorted he. "But he can't come in and eat the fatted calf just yet, not while my boys have to camp under the bleak sky and expose themselves to the bullets of the enemy. When will this fellow r e p o r t ? " "Not at all," and Rachel, hot of heart and dry-eyed, yet outraged in feeling turned to depart. "One moment, woman," commanded Colonel Delwater. "You cannot go in this manner. I want to ask you a few questions about your husband." A guard stood at the door and at a sign from the officer, blocked the woman's egress, Rachel Clang's anger did not cool at this. Colonel Delwater was a boor. She was hurt and amazed at his insolent treatment of her well meant efforts. If she had had to deal with Captain Ranger now, who was a gentleman, how different it would have been, and he a foreigner! at that. Rachel had always affected | to dislike Canadians. Here was a | Yankee, however, who had the man-j ners of a lout. She felt t h a t there J could be no compromise as she faced the uncivil colonel of cavalry once more, either cheek burning. "I am glad t h a t you came here to talk about t e r m s , " proceeded the colonel, speaking less harshly. "Tell this man of yours that I will guarantee his personal safety, but he must take his medicine with the other conscripts." 1 Week of March 30.

Following Wednesday there will be a reaction to warmer temperatures although we do not expect the readings to be a-s high as during fore part of v,eek.

It is likely these conditions will make for a good stand of grain and will help hold back the fruit buds until after the frost and cold danger. On the otherhand, the farmer will probably be greatly hindered in his spring plowing. For the country as a whole we are expecting the weather to be cool for the season until about middle of May when the barometric conditions over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans will change.

"Once he has been drafted he cannot enlist. He ought to have thought of that sooner. He will have to come in under the terms of the conscript law. Better see that he does this, since we shall nab him anyhow, in which case I cannot answer for the consequences."

There had been t h e usual preliminaries as to passing the pruard, which though annoying, was yet a necessary concomitant of military life. The colonel, gorgeous in new uniform, sat on a low stool when Mrs. Clang WHS announced. He received her with very proper dignity. Hi* effort to appear imposing, however, was no* a success The colone' being of medium stature, had nothing, :»ot even a s t a V ' r a n ' s face to aid him.

Now, madam, I am ready t o grant anything in reason, b u t really we can't treat with deserters, that's flat I am sorry for you though." He smiled at the last and attempted to ogle her with his watery eyes. She hated Colonel Delwater from do. If my husband's services will not be accepted as a volunteer he will surely never serve in any other capacity," With her head lifted high the conscript's wife passed from the officer's quarters. She had no difficulty in making her way to the outside. The carryall was not here so she walked, the distance being something over a mile. When she reached her room at the hotel Rachel was weak from her exertions of the afternoon. She lay down and napped for the space of two hours. Night had fallen when she was ready to return the weary miles to Hemlock Run. Coming forth from a confectioner's shop the woman was walking briskly when a voice uttered her name. She turned about to meet stalwart Darwin Forbes face to face. She did not fear him since he was a professed friend of Thornton's and an army deserter as well. (To be Continued.) o Where Some Government Money Is Spent It is not generally known t h a t the federal government spends annually between 40 and 50 million dollars for the benefit of the several states, all direct appropriations by Congres?. Among these subsidies or aids are: $29,000,000 for good roads; $2,550,000 for land-grant colleges; $2,009,000 for education in agriculture; $2,019,000 for education in industries; $1,090,000 for education of teachers; $1,034,000 for rehabilitation of persons injured in industry; $4,580,000 for agriculture extensions; and $1,750,000 for aericultural experiment stations. In addition are the large sums periodically expended for rivers and harbors and public buildings. Most of the states receive f a r more from t h e federal government than they pay into the federal government by way of income or other taxes. o Dog Left in Indiana Finds Way to Oregon Last summer G.F. Brazier of Silverton, Oregon, near here, and his family visited Wolcott, Ind., and took with them their dog. Bob, a collie. While the family was in the Indiana city Bob disappeared. They searched and advertised for him but without results, and the Braziers came home without him. That was more than six months ago.

KAISER Agricultural Engirt '•i> If you are planning to start with bees this spring, let me advise you to investigate thoroughly before doing so. First of all, write your Agricultural Experiment Station for information and bulletins. Then secure a good book on beekeeping and subscribe for a beekeepers' magazine, either the American Bee Journal, published at Hamilton, 111., or Gleanings in Bee Culture, published at Medina, Ohio. And, finally, before the bees arrive, see if you cannot visit the yard of some beekeeper and solicit hie aid. It ia a very simple matter to acquire a colony or two of bees and start in with the idea of getting lots of honey. Thousands of persons make such a start each year but comparatively few of these continue with the bees for more than two or three years. What at first promises to be a lot of fun with a profit at the same time, soon proves to be a real piece of work with the fun knocked out by the disagreeable feat u r e s which are a necessary part of beekeeping as well as of other pursuits. Beekeeping is not a difficult task but in order to secure maximum returns, every manipulation necessary for success must be carried out at the proper time in the season. Now if you are determined to have a few bees and are sure that you will continue to 'love and cherish them," continue as follows: Before buying any bees or second- band equipment, fix this fact firmly in mind. Bees, like other animals and people, are attacked by disease, and one disease in particular will destroy a colony in one season if proper treatment is not provided. This t r e a t m e n t consists of destroying all the young bees and the comb3 and starting the bees on new foundation. It is more or less distributed throughout the United States, so you should consult your state bee inspector as to the chance of success in your locality before making the start. Also, do not buy any bees or second-hand equipment without determining from the state inspector as to whether or not the dealer has an inspector's permit to sell bees or second-hand equipment. Disease germs may be carried over in old combs or hives as well as with the bees and the beginner is taking too great a risk in using such equipment unless passed upon by a competent inspector. Hew and When to Make the Start Under all circumstances, the beginning beekeeper should make his s t a r t at a time in the year when some mistake on his part will not result in a total loss of colony or a season's crop. Secure your bees in early May, and under no circumstances later than J u n e first unless someone gives you a colony or a swarm. In most sections of the country the honey flow will be over by July 15 and colonies started later than t h a i date may have to be fed sugar eynip to carry them over the winter. If you can buy a colony of bees from a reliable neighbor whose bees a r e healthy, that will be the easiest plan. If this cannot be done, then write to your apiary inspector and g e t the name of a reliable dealer in one of the southern states. A full colony can be bought for $15 to $20 and parts of colonies under the name of neuclei or package bees can be bought for six or seven dollars each. A full colony of bees should contain 10 combs in movable frames and about 50,000 bees. A neuclei consists of one to three combs with from 5,000 to 10,000 bees, including a queen, " P a c k a f e beea" come without combs and are sold by the pound. The buyer can secure one, two, or three-pound packages with • queen, which is usually priced extra. A full colony of beea needs only to be set out when it arrives and extra hive bodies added when the honey flow s t a r t s Additional frames with foundation must be provided for neuclei and package beea. Do not buy neuclei of lesa than three frames, and package bees of less than three pounds. Be sure that your order includes a queen. Before the beea come order the equipment nenesaary for as many colonies as you desire. Extracted honey is more easily produced by the beginner than comb honey, but unless you can borrow an extractor, and uncapping knife from a neighbor, you will find it desirable to start with comb honey. For each colony, you should have one full depth super with frames and foundation and two or t h r e e comb honey supers. It is advisable not to start with less than two colonies nor with more than five. In starting with two colonies one can build up again should something happen to one of them and in case more than two colonies are desired, more colonies can be formed from the two by dividing them after the surplus crop is secured. C a r e of Beea ia t h e S p r i n g If full size colonies are secured they usually have sufficient stores to keep them going and extra stores a r e not necessary. But if neuclei or package bees are bought, it will be necessary to feed them sugar syrup as soon as they arrive. About 10 or 15 pounds of syrup will be needed by each neuclei or package. Make up the syrup by adding equal parts of sugar and water by weight and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. No special apparatus is needed. Secure a friction top syrup or honey pail, punch a few tiny holes in the top, fill with syrup and invert on top of the frames with a hole in the center just large enough to permit the feeder to set next the frames Then put the extra empty hive body or super on the hive and set the cover on top. Examine the feeder every few days and when empty fill and set on again unless there is an abundance of flowers of some kind in bloom. As soon as the bees are securing nectar from the field the feeders can be removed. T o P r e v e n t S w a r m i n ; One of the principal difficulties which the beginner has to contend with is swarming. Only experience gained by actual practice can teach us how to control swarming, but in order to know what steps to begin with, look up swarming in the book which you have bought and try as best you can to follow out the suggestions given. Also read very carefully all that you can find on "Comb Honey Production." Beginning with your first season, get these fundamental facts into your mind and always keep them before you if you want to be a successful beekeeper. First—In order to get a honey crop you must have a large surplus of bees, and the bees Imust have an abundance of room in [which to store honey and ripen it. Second—Certain manipulations of the colony are necessary at very definite peniods dependent upon climatic conditions, honey flows and the separate status of each colony within its own hive. If these manipulations are not made at the proper time, it may mean the total loss of a crop for a given colony. Third—The preparation of the colony for any season's honey ^ow begins in the previous fall. Requeen in the middle of the summer, see t h a t an abundance of young bees are reared in the fail, and see that they have plenty of stores for winter. Then in the spring provide the care recommended in this paper and if there is a honey crop, your bees will get it.—American Fruit Grower. •X'YPHOID, cholera and other dangtr- X ous diseases are caused by genua that live on tilth. T h e * germs have their own deadly iocs in the bacilli family and it L» possible to start a war bctwecu these microscopic tribes, arranging the battle so that the germ foes of humanity arr destroyed by our bacilli friends. This is exactly what a septic tank does -—it furnishes a battietield where aaerobof the uquid runs tnto the smaller chamber and when it reaches a certain level, ia automatically discharged into the siphon and into the filter bed. As it leaves the smaller chamber the liquid appears clear but it is not pure because it may contain disease germs and solid matter held in suspense. This liquid is now spread out in the soil so that the aerobic bacilli can purify it. L t ^L± xn A teptic tank i» an underground box that receive* jrwajc, and by bacterial action liquiiiea it and kill* the diae&ae germs. Thia ia a cro»*-»*ction of a aeptic tank. The baffle-board ia an important part for the bacteria will not work if disturbed. Sewage aipbona out the outlet at the right and U taken through oooporoua tile to a diapoaal bed where bacteria from the air finish the purification. With ft septic tank any borne can have a modern bath-roomie bacilli that live without air can partially overcome the cohorts of typhoid, cholera, dysentery and hook worm and then drive these germs out where the aerobic bacilli that live in the air can attack them in their weakened condition and utterly vanquish them. A septic tank like the one shown is a disposal plant for the waste products of the human body and decaying animal and vegetable matter which are direct sources of the diseases mentioned. Typhoid, for instance, is more of a rural disease because sewage in rural districts is not as properly disposed of as it is in urban centers. This Ls evident from statistics of igio where, of 8,000 typhoid cases, 5,300 were among country dwellers. As shown in the illustration, the sewage enters the larger chamber of the septic tank where it is acted upon by the anerobic bacilli. They change solid matter into gases and liquids. A heavy scum forms on the surface of the chamber, indicating that the anerobic bacilli are working. It is essential that baffle boards be used as a protection for the scum. As the larger chamber fills, some Sewage should be carried to the septic tank through non-porous tile with cemented joints. Waste from the kitchen should be carried through a grease trap before reaching the tank ia order to remove al! the grease because grease does not decompose. Drain tile with open joints are used in the filter beds so that the liquid can soak into the soil and be purified. In determining the size of the larger chamber capacity of from 30 to 50 gallons per day per person in the household should be allowed. The smaller chamber should be large enough to permit the siphon to act once in six or eight hours. Septic tank walls should be made of a 1-3-3 mixture of concrete and this with Kood workmanship will insure that it is water tight. This means a mixture of one sack of portland cement to two cubic feet of sand and three cubic feet of pebbles or crushed stone Heavy wire or steel rods should be used for reinforcing the cover slabs, but reinforcing may be left out of the walls and bottom provided the thickness of these is increased. (f- The Farmer as a Plumber By E. W. LEHMANN ^ ) Farmers Should go Slow on Sowing Naked Oats ^ During: the last 50 or 60 years, attractive advertisements have led farmers from time to time to try to prow naked or hull-less oats. The • c r y fact t h a t t h e naked oat has gained no foot-hold in American agriculture after r e p u t e d attempts t o exploit it is sufficient proof of its inability to compete with the best common or hulled oats. Until a few years ago the variety commonly exploited WHS the Chinese Hull-less, which is now found on sterile mountain sides at high altitudes in northern and western China. Recently, however, some new hybrid •arietkss have been developed by crossing the Chinese Hull-less on the common oat.

There are many simple jobs of plumbing about the farm home, such as installing a sink and drain, connecting up a hot water tank and making repairs that the average fanner can easily do with the tools hi v.as at hand. When it is necessary to install a complete plumbing system with sanitary' toilet and other fixtures it is always desirable to get a good plumber to make the installation. In nearly °very community there is a plumber who will gladly cut and thread pipe to be used in making a simple installation. Most plumbers prefer that the farmer do these small jobs because the labor charge <m such work nearly always appears unreasonable. It is usually true that for the small job we can expect the labor charge to be a much larger per cent of the total cost than for a complete system. Under the city ordinance regulating the work of plumbing, it is specified that no plumbing of any kind shall be- done without a special permit from the supervisor of plumbing, whose duties are to inspect the work when complete to see that it meets all the requirements. This is necessary to protect the people against poorly installed plumbing, which would result in unsanitary and unhealthful conditions. Out in the open country beyond the city limits the farmer has only himself and family to consider. There are no laws governing the type of building he constructs or how his equipment is installed. Ilf should keep in mind, however, that what is good for- the protection of [ his city brother's family is also gooc. I for the protection of his own family. I Extreme care should be observed in j the installation of any plumbing i equipment. The principles of drain - I age and the principles of sanitation should always be kept in mind. Simplicity should be one of the chief points in planning a plumbing layout. In a simple, compact plumbing system there is less danjrer of stopping up, due to Ion? drainage lines, on account of gTeater distance between fixtures and the outlet drain. Where the bathroom is to be on the second floor, it is desirable always to plan so it can be directly above the kitchen and the kitchen above the laundry room or adjacent to it. If the bath and kitchen are to be on the same floor, it simplifies the plumbing to have the bath adjoining the kitchen. In remodeling an old house, or planning a new house, special ...Mention ! should be given to the plumbing "'.s-! t.^m. All pipe that are supposed to ;•>• into th" walls - aould h- nu: in ;r~ Ur. fconcp ic framed. Th'-re are many 1 examples where houses have been re- j rnie.'ed by country carpenters and no thought was given to the job of plumbing until the walls were plastered and the floors laid. This is where the owner has given no thought to the matter of plumbing. The farmer must not overlook the fact t h a t the work of the p l u m b e r and eh-e trieian must be carried on along with the c a r p e n t e r a n d brick mason. For simple installations about the b a r n , or house, the owner should very carefully take meu.s.iia i... tits and prep a r e a sketch of how the pipe a r e to be a r r a n g e d , showing the location of h y d r a n t s and fixtures. Such a sketch is valuable w h e t h e r he makes the installation or w h e t h e r it is installed by a plumber. If the owner dot's not h a v e tools for c u t t i n g and t h r e a d i n g pipe, he can t a k e the sketch to his local plumber and not only set ar. a c c u r a t e s t a t e m e n t of the cost of pipe and fittings to meet his needs, b i r also get the pipe cut and threaded so he can install it. If t h e r e a r e a good m a n y different pieces of pipe, it will save time to m a r k them and d e s i g n a t e t h e pieces on t h e sketch. This wi! make it easy to assemble the system later. The owner who i n s t a l l s his - i p l u m b i n g m u s t a l w a y s keep in mind the fact t h a t it LS i m p o r t a n t to connect the w a t e r pipes so t h e y can be d r a i n e d . If t h e w a t e r pipes do not d r a i n when t h e w a t e r is c u t off and the valves a r e opened in cold w e a t h e r , the w a t e r is liable to freeze and the pipes- may b u r s t . This has often happened, r e s u l t i n g in needless evpem and d i s c o u r a g e m e n t as f a r as the us" of p l u m b i n g is concerned. Any f a r m e r who can use a wrench can connect up a sink and d r a i n and a p u m p to provide w a t e r in thkitchen. Besides the sink, p u m p anr! pipe all t h a t is needed a r e a fw f i t t i n g s and a t r a p .

Leaky f a u c e t s and toilets will w a s t e a lot of w a t e r in a s h o r t tim? and will cause much inconvenience if the w a t e r must be cut off.

OUR POU PARTMENT Buy B a b y Chicks with C«vrc T h e buying of baby chicks is a far more i m p o r t a n t problem t h a n most p u r c h a s e r s realize. Baby chicks cons t i t u t e the foundation stock of the f u t u r e l a y e r s a n d b r e e d e r s and, t h e r e - fore, too much c a r e can not be exercised in deciding- upon the h a t c h e r y from which to buy. P o u l t r y e x p e r t s of t h e United S t a t e s D e p a r t m e n t of A g r i c u l t u r e h a v e observed t h a t p r a c t i c a l poultry r a i s e r s and f a r m e r s a r e relying upon the hatcheries more and more each succeeding y e a r a s a source of supply for t h e i r new c r o p of chicks. In o t h e r words, each y e a r sees fewer a n d fewer chicks hatched u n d e r hens and the m a m m o t h h a t c h e r i e s a r e t a k i n g the place, to a c e r t a i n extent, of the smaller i n c u b a t o r s which a r e commonly operated <>n the f a r m s . It is because of the fact t h a t f a r m e r s a r e buying baby chicks from the commercial hatcheries in such large n u m b e r s that the officials of the d e p a r t m e n t feel the necessity for u r g i n g them to exercise g r e a t c a r e in deciding upon where to buy this y e a r ' s supply of chicks. At the same time it should be pointed out that many f a r m e r s , p e r h a p s the majority, will still find it more economical to do t h e i r own hatching. T h i s is especially the case where the f a r m flock is of good s t a n d a r d quality and has been bred for egg production. A f a r m e r h a t c h i n g hia own ehiclknows the q u a l i t y of chicks he can expect. The commercial hatchery business has developed to a very r e m a r k a b l e extent in the United S t a t e s in the last two y e a r s . Some of the hatchery men have estimated t h a t practically double the n u m b e r of b a h v chicks will b< hatched in m a m m o t h hatcheries th; year compared with hist. There is a great increase 111 the number ef hatcheries, each c a r r y i n g in capacity from a few t h o u s a n d to several hundred t h o u s a n d chicks. The question of importance to a p u r c h a s e r of baby chicks is the source of supply of eggs for the hatcheries. Many of t h e hatcheries have their business well organized and are abl" to g u a r a n t e e the quality of the chicks. Some of the hatcheries, however, a r e not so p a r t i c u l a r where thev purchase the v^^v they use and are not able '• g u a r a n t e e high-quality chicks. P u r c h a s e r s of baby chicks would be woJl advised, officials of the d e p a r t - ment say, to make sure of purchasing from a reliable h a t c h e r y . Only p u r e bred chicks should be bought and 11 addition to this, the p u r c h a s e r should insist upon a s a t i s f a c t o r y statenit nt from the h a t c h e r y man as to the qua! ity of v^C^ used, Were the eggs from a s t a n d a r d - b r e d flock with trap-m-si records and w a s the flock in good breeding condition?

Pullets are the most profitable p a r t of the l a y i n g flock and a well-balanced laying flock should consist of **t least naif pullets; which allows careful culling of the hens d u r i n g thi summer and fall before the pullets a r e m a t u r e d . Baby chicks n"od especially careful attention in breeding and feeding d u r - ing the first weeks of their lives, which should be followed by careful and r e g u l a r a t t e n t i o n t h r o u g h o u t theii g r o w i n g period. E a r l y hatched chicka r e by far the most profitable w h e t h e r grown to m a t u r i t y for laying or sold as poultry flesh. The brooder house and stove h e a t e r which are used for c a r i n g for th' chicks d u r i n g the first few weeks r? their lives, must be in working o r d e r before the chicks a r r i v e . The most common ^•••le of brooding is the as;. •" a st' '•' 1 r'"">der in a colony house, k k. e > g fr, ,.,•: :•:.->(! to "HO chicks in a flock in each house, and placing the houses about loO feet a p a r t on a good g r a s s range.

Wire nett i n g should hf placed m th^ c^rrmr^ of the brooder house to prevent the chicks huddling and crowding in the corners. Chicks should riot bw fed for the first '.% to 4* hours, after which they bhuuld be supplied r e g u l a r l y 4 or ."> times daily with easily digested feed which contains little waste m a t e r i a l . They should be fed s p a r i n g l y until about the f>th d a y ; then they can be put on full ration. An excellent feed can be made of infertile eggs t a k e n from th incubator boiled for 15 minutes, chopped and mixed with a d r y mash of equal p a r t s of c r a c k e r meal, bran and e r ;. meal, using a sufficient a m o u n t of the g r a m to make a dry, crumbly m i x t u r e . Middlings can be used in place of the cracked meal. Dry rolled oats a r e excellent for chicks and can be used a s one feed, the other two or t h r e e feeds being the commercial chick g r a i n s . At two weeks of age t h e chicks can be g-iven a dry mash, in a hopper, consisting of 4 p a r t s , by weight, of rolled cats, 12 p a r t s b r a n , 2 p a r t s corn meal, 1 p a r t h i g h - g r a d e m e a t s c r a p , 1 p a r t middlings, and ln p a r t dried b u t t e r milk. Commercial chick feed should be fed t h r e e t i m e s daily in addition to the dry mash. Milk is an excellent feed for chicks and should be provided e i t h e r as a liquid or in the d r y form to s e c u r e best g r o w t h . If liquid milk is available the dried milk can be omitted. When the chicks a r e one month old they should be fed a c o a r s e r or intermediate chick g r a i n , a n d a t about twe months of age the scratch feed can be changed to equal p a r t s of w h e a t and cracked corn. T h i s should be fed two or three times a day. I n c u b a t i n g T u r k e y Efffs T h e r e are c e r t a i n f a c t o r s in t h e incubation of t u r k e y eggs which a r e very i m p o r t a n t , and which mean a g r e a t deal in d e t e r m i n i n g the n u m b e r of fully m a t u r e d pullets and cockerels raised in the following y e a r . In a large measure t h e criterion of success in t u r k e y r a i s i n g is the n u m b e r of fully matured t u r k e y s raised in prop o r t i o n to the total number of eggs set. Therefore the ejrgs as laid must be given the very best a t t e n t i o n . High fertility is desirable, and incubation should IK- carried out in such a way t h a t as many of the eggs as possible will hatch. N a t u r a l l y , the vigor of the breeding stock and the mariner iti .vhich it has been m a n a g e d will deli rmine in large degree the quality of t he h a t c h i n g eggs. The eggs should be collected regularly every day ami kept in a room at a t e m p e r a t u r e of from 50 to GO degrees F. They should be t u r n e d every day, but should be handled carefully and should not be kept for over two weeks. The period of incubation of t u r k e y eggs is 2S days, and the method of incubation is much the same as with chicken eggs. T u r k e y eggs can be incubated under chicken hens, t u r k e y hens, or in incubators. If chicken hens a r e used to incubate t u r k e y eg'gs, c a r e must be taken not to give the hen too many eggs, as from '.' to 12 a r e quite sufficient, depending upon the size of the hen as well as the size of t h e eggs. Nesting a r r a n g e m e n t s a s well as other m a t t e r s a r e practically the s a m e as in i n c u b a t i n g chicken eggs The s i t t i n g hen should be fed dailv and given a chance to exercise. When the t u r k e y hen is ailowed to sit on her own eggs, conditions a r " much the same as with t h e chicken hen. T u r k e y hens will cover from 15 to 20 eggs. Nests are most conveniently a r r a n g e d on the ground or in boxes- t be disturbed. At the same time she should bo taken off daily and allowed to exercise and should l>e given plenty of w a t e r to drink, and clean, wholesome feod, such as a m i x t u r e of wheat and oats. When the turkey hen becomes broody she should be allowed to sit on the nest for two or t h r e e days before being i n t r u s t e d with t h e egxs. When she has remained on t h e noi-t f< : two or thee d -he should then b> given her eggs and attended to as suggested. If a n u m b e r of hens a r e sitt i n g at the same time, c a r e should be taken to see t h a t they jret back to t h " nests properly and t h a t no nest is left uncovered. Both chicken and t u r k e y hens, while s i t t i n g on t u r k e y o^<, should be d isted with sodium florid, u s i n g a small n;nch u n d e r each w i n g , a r o u n d t h " thigh joint., over the back, u n d e r the body and a r o u n d the vent.

T W f u n d A m e a t a l Rights of Childhood T h e r e is a good deal of expense connected with the proper rearing' of idhdUren. Fathers and mothers and attboel tatx payers are well aware that I boys and girls "cost money." But •in. spite of this fact children are an not a liability. Few parents say that children are not «r«rth all they cost. If the parents far a n y reason can not provide for their children and this duty falls to the community, the children are none the leea a community asset. Certainly therefore the care and provision which children require is not to be given merely as an act of kindness and humanity. It is the children's right. There is a minimum of care which tfl due to every child. If all chJUreo. do not receive it the com- -jaoflBity suffers. Let us sum up these rights of children, briefly, and then go on to find out how the community can assure them to all its children. In the light of the best present knowledge it is generally agreed that ail children have a right to the best of care before birth—for the care of the child begins with the care of t h e mother before the baby comes— and at birth. They have a right to c o n e in\o a home prepared for them They have a right to pure food suited to their needs and given at regular hours: at first their mother's narsing them and then simple, wellchosen, well-prepared meals. They have a right to enough food and tho right kind of food to keep them steadily growing and gaining in w e i g h t They have a right to a clean well-kept home, not overcrowded They have a right to plenty of fresh air and pure water. They have a right to warm rooms and warm clothing in cold weather. They have a right to clean and suitable clothing and to properly fitting shoes. They have a right to sanitary conveniences which make it easy for them to keep clean. They have a right to be taught habits of cleanliness concerning the body, face and hands, and teeth. They have a right to be protected against communicable diseases and to be taught the ways of keeping well. They have a right to regulai health examinations by doctor and dentist and to treatment for any defects that occur. They have a right to healthy play, and so they have a right to safe outdoor play space. Indoors too, they have a right to some place where their play will not be restricted. They have a right to playmates and companions and to sympathetic interest from adults. They have a right to play material and tools. They have a right to freedom from all except light household or outdoors work so that they may go to school and have the extra strength they need for growth. They have this right as long as they are growing, or at least until 16, and they have a right to education to the limit of their abilities. They have a right to moral training and the influence of a good example. Now all of these rights are usuallj best secured in a normal family home. We may say, without any doubt, that every child has a right to home life, with an income on the father's part that will allow him to provide the things just now summed up. If the father's income does not enable him to give his children all they ought to have, the community must help. How fast the weeks K<> gliding by and w'th stories and letters from the Scribes i m r : mai.v parts of i nr good -old state, Michigan, ue u^am meet in 'OUT little department, where the .Scribes Club, new and old members •gaaA each other. T b i s w*rk our first letter i> from a. now member, who live* at Bear Lake, a beautiful little town beside beautiful lake, which the town is after. Here is her l.tter: "Dear Uncle Ernest: I saw your department in the Bear Laic/* Beacon, that you would give a prize to the firstt ten who sent in Stories or poems or experiences, and I thought that was an experience so I tiMRjg£ht 3 would try to win a prize at I am from Bear Lake. Miss Ella Schimke "Now comes her story and Uncle Ernest guesses that she is some story teller and surely is entitled to a prize >for such a good long, interesting story. : She gives "Shary Eyes" credit for the Story. Here it is: A Workday ' O r e S a t u r d a y not long before • Christmas my mother went away aba* t five o'clock in the morning. Sh<- was pernor to be gone until Monday morning, /arid she took with her my jioangeet sister, who was about three years old. A"nd my father would not he home until night. So my two bnathers and sisters and I were left aloatrv r J «rag only thirteen and the . others were younger, '•-When I came down stairs in the morning I made some breakfast. AIthough the others were not yet up, it « m t a » t early. I knew it being Saturd a y "there was a lot of work to do, but I didn't know where to start. As I tffplrrtd aroond I saw the bread ready t a b e mixed. I knew how to do it so •other children to get up fnr it was iji d i d n t take long. Then I called the fi**n B u t t h a t was the worst part of all t o get them up an ready for breakf a s t and out to play. B u t soon I was at my work again. 1 thought I would clean the floors n e x t . I was so busy that I nearly forg o t to get dinner, but I didn't though. after the dinner dishes were all t h a t was left was to bake bread, so I thought I would make calces, and I did too. I made of them but before morning they nearly gone so I made some just as I had dinner ready on Sunday a car came and brought my mother home.—Sharp Eyes. F; • Clark from Riverdale. has filled out a missing word poem that was run in the department several weeks ago, but she has done so well in her work we are going to publish her letter and poem. Riverdale, Mich. Dear Uncle Ernest: I have filled in the missing words and hope to get my answer soon, as I have not got my answer. Here is the poem, Those pleasant days have passed away And many a time, that thr'n was gay Within the tomb now darkly dwells. And he hears no more those chiming bells. Yours very truly, Fay Clark. Stefania says she thought the gift sent her for a prize was real nice and now she is giving us two new riddles, but Humpty Dumpty is an old one and I'ncle Ernest remembers this one when he was a little boy. Uncle Ernest wishes the scribes won!'.' ail t r y an 1 he original and i:uik( up their stories and riddles, then this will make our department so much more interesting. Let us try. Oakley, Mich. Dear Uncle Ernest: I received your gift and thought it was real nice.

At our house we never grow tired of them, and we're always trying out new egg d*shes. Here are a few dishes, perhaps you would enjoy too, for a change. Baked Egg»—Run one cup cold boiled ham through fjood chopper, together with one-half cp bread crumbs, add salt and pepper to taste, with one teaspoon butter, add just enough milk to make a soft paste, butter the custard cups well; and half fill them with the above mixture. Break an egg in each cup, season, and cover with cracker crumbs. Place the cups in boiling water and bake until eggs are set. This will take about, 12 minutes. Angel Food Padding—Why not have whipped cream, together with an angel food pudding for dessert? It's delicious. To two well-beaten eggs add one cup powdered sugar, and one* tablespoon flour, together with two cups chopped walnut meats pouT into a baking dish, set in a pan of boiling water and cook 45 minutes. Let it remain in the water until cool, then serve with whipped cream. Fried Potato** and Eggt—Slice cold boiled potatoes and frying butter till nicely browned. Just before you remove them from the fire, add two well-beaten eggs and stir well. This makes a nice change from plain potatoes. Eggi and Oy»ter§—Beat three eggs until frothy, add one tablespoon sweet cream, with salt and pepper to to taste. Melt one tablespoon butter in a small pan, pour in the eggs, and stir over a low fire. When the mixture begins to thicken, add one cup oyster and cook till all is a soft creamy mass. Serve with or without buttered toast. Balloon Muffins Beat with an egg-beater very thoroughly but separately: Two eggs; one-half pint of milk; one-half pint of water; one pint of flour. Bake in greased muffin rings in a very hot oven about 20 minutes, or until brown. Breaded Potatoes For a change in serving potatoes try this plan. Select small potatoes, pare and boil in salt water. Drain, roll in beaten eggs and cracker crumbs and brown in deep fat made of half butter and half bacon frying. These are fine served with a fish or meat course. Cream Nat Fadge Bring slowly t o boiling point two cups granulated sugar two-third cup sweet milk. Boil until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from fire and add one teaspoonful vanilla, one tablespoonfulj butter and one cup chopped nut meats. Stir until smooth, then pour onto a buttered plate or tin and mark into squares. Hinti Insert a small piece of macaroni or a paper into your berry pies. It will act as a steam pip* and the juice will not boil over. No oven to clean. An excellent way to cook prunes is to cover with water in a covered jar :-.nd cook in oven. If the ribbon ends of a blanket are torn finish with a double crochet edge with a bone hook. When the children lose the tips off their shoestrings dip the ends in mucilage and let them dry. Never burn old shoes. Bury them r e a r the roots of some tree shrub or in the garden to enrich the soil.

For luncheon some kind of a creamed dish on toast is good with possibly a pudding for dessert. Macaroni or spaghetti dishes make a good and substantial dinner as well as a very economical one, Besides these, there are all kinds of cakes and pies and cookies; the list is almost endless. There is hardly any food that can be used in so many different ways as wheat in combinations with other foods. That is one reason why we never tire of it. 25 H i l l llll B(« M M M T h e H o m e B e a u t i f u l l The Wallinf ord A Farm Home for the Large Family » TTTT M well, the man who made it made no mistake for it cuts dandy. I am a boy so if I win the riddle contest send me a boy's prize. J. C. Herald. Hit the Owl In the good old days, an attorn^yat- law advertised for an office boy. At the appointed hour he faced the applicants extending in a line from one end of the office to the door. "Boys," he said, "I am going to tell you a story- When I have finished I want each of you to ask mo a question about that story'' The boy that asks the best question gets the job. "A farmer looked out of the window one morning and saw an o\v perched on the roof of his b a m . H( got his shotgun, went out into t.h' yard .took deliberate aim at the owi and fired. A moment later he noticed a small column of smoke cominp out of the top of the barn. Soon the entire barn was in flames. And 'hu> ends the story of the Farmer and the Owl. Xow boys, ask your questions.1 the lawyer said. "Was tho barn insured?" askeel one. "Did the wads from the shell start tho fire°" asked another. "Did th<> farmer build a m-w barn?" asked the third. F i n a l l y , a small red-headed, freckled-faced lad at the end of the line said: "Did he hit the owl?" The boy was hired.— Send your letters to Uncle E r n e s t 5¾ Market Ave., S.

It would look equally well on the treeless prairie of the west or on the wooded hill sides of j New England. A solid substantial effect ia given by the arrangement of , porches neither of which are built ,on but are part of the general floor '. plan. The openings of the front 'porch are lined with trellis for vines which with foundation shrub's and plants alwayf* add to the restful ness of an exterior. A color combination of light portland cement stucco with green trim and shutters and either a bright red or green roof will be entirely pleasing. A model of convenience, this plan takes into consideration the need for large rooms during the harvest seam SCCGND FLOOR PLAN son. Here is a living room 18 feet by 13 feet with a comfortable fireplace for long winter days and ventilation from all sides in hot weather. An unusually large dining room is adjoining. The kitchen contains large cupboards and a china closet which can be opened on the dining room side also. The screened porch should prove convenient for housework on hot days or as a place to take the family meals. Under this porch is a large concrete rain water tank. From the rear entry the men can go directly into the wash room to clean up before entering the house. This entry has stairs leading to tb« basement, one half of which is planned for the storage of fruit, seed, etc., an the other half contains laundry and boiled room. At the east end of the house, shut off from the other rooms, is the farmer's office so essential on the modern farm for keeping records of stock and farm operations. Upstairs there are four good bed rooms with plenty of good closet space in each and also a small room for sewing or additional storage. Built of concrete block covered with portland cement stucco and roofed with a fire resistive material like concrete tile or cement-asbestos shingle, this home will be safe against fire so much dreaded on t h i lonely farm. Plans, blue prints and special specifications of these home* can be »ecured for $15 by addressing the Building Editor, 58 Market avenue, S.

Most of these tasks require the work of two men*—grinding tools, grinding feed, cleaning gTain, clipping horses or cow». While if you have a Westinghouse Portable Power Stand yo« have but "to attach the cord to a lamp socket, belt it to the ap^ pliance you intend to use and turn on the electriciiy. Around the house it will operate the churn, cream separator, washing machine, meat grinder, ice cream freezer and many other household appliances. Wherever it is use* it does t h e work of an extra helper, doing the work better and at a much lower cost. You can afford to own a Westinghouse Light and Power Plant. And you can't afford to be without one installed on your farm. Westinghouse with its great engineering organization has developed a Light and Power Plant that is equalled by none. tor its simplicity and refinement of construction, ease of opera*- tion, ruggedness and large capacity of its storage batteries^ We are furnishing a great number of Westinghoose Batteries for replacement on all kind- t lighting plants. It will pay you to investigate before you buy. Baytin Marin Silas Ci. 13 Oakes St, Grand Rapids, Mid*.

A Story of Michigan in Civil War Days '•N''>«^>«\";/«Mr^'.v»M;;» CHAPTER X. An Obliging Official. Kachel Clang's mind was in a turmoil. She had staked much on this meeting with Colonel Delwater and it i had come to naught. Back there among the pines her husband was awaiting' the outro;iu- with a terriHt anxiety. To enter the army as an honorable v.ilunuer would efface it. part at least the stigma t h a t darkened ] his good name. j Not that the settler had in the least recanted, but his hiding in the woods like and escaped convict was wearing on the man; he felt the irksomeness of the waiting. Better a place in the ranks of his enemies than a continuaion of the strenuous life he had beet: leading. It was because of this feeing that Clang had consented to his wife's plea in his behalf. The sight of the dark, unhandsome face of Forbes but added to the young wife's perturbation and disquietude. His presence in the city was amazing, considering the danger he was in, bearding the tiger with a vengeance. "Mrs. Clang, this is a surprise," said the conscript in his most genial manner. "I never thought to see you in town. How is Thornton?" "As well as usual, thank you." "Are you thinking of getting home to-night?" "Assuredly—" "Then I will go along as your protector. I propose to return to Hemlock Run at once. You have a carriage, a buggy or horse?" "None. I came on foot," "All these miles! Mrs. Clang, you surprise me. It is blamed mean on the p a r t of your neighbors not to lend you a rig. Strange that they should visit the sins of the husband on the wife, and she the nicest little woman in the whole valley." The man approached and touched her arm. He had been drinking and there was a greenish glitter in his sunken eyes. He had never been a friend of hers; she was shrinking from him now. "Don't be frightened, mam," said he aughing, "I'll see that you git safe home. Old Thornt oughn't to have let ye come." The man now walked nt her side.' The hour was late, few pedestrians being upon the street. Rachel glanced uneasily ahead, wishing to escape the fellow's importunities. She wondered at his temerity in thus visiting the city. Had she known for what purpose he had come she would have turned from him in anger and bitter loathing. Noting that he was in good humor she determined to do nothing to awaken his resentment. "Thank you, Mr. Forbes," ventured* the young woman, "keeping an eye out for a chance to shake him, "but I shall get on very comfortably alone." "It ain't safe, Mrs. Clang. I shan't let you go alone all them miles to Hemlock Run. If anything should happen old Thornt would blame me when he found out I'd seen ye and hadn't made no effort to guard you from danger. I'll walk home with you, mam, shore I will. He drew his hat low as they approached a pedestrian, laughing in a way that was jarring on his companion's nerves. How to get rid of his company was now the sole aim of the conscript's wife. Rachel stumbled in crossing a depression in the walk. Instantly the man drew her hand through his arm and held on tightly. "These walks ain't safe," he vouchsafed. "Hang onto me, and youTI come out right. Remember them spelling schools in North Tryon district when y o u V I was young, Mrs. Clang? Gee, but you was a cracker jack at spelling. You downed every blessed one of them Tryon chaps, and that was the time Thornt first aaw you. Remember—" Rachel gave a violent tug and freed her arm. She turned and started up the walk, he pursuing, again catching her arm. "Now see here, Rachel, I won't stand no blamed nonsense," he snarled, unexpectedly revealing his t r u e colors. ' I f you've got any sense you'll come along and mind your business." " I shall walk no further with you," burst out Rachel, now thor- •ttjrhly aroused. She struck him M blow in the face; jerking her arm free she started to run. She had not Itone five yards when he was upon her, hot from the baffling of hit plans. Dimly up the street appeared the outlines of a man. Rachel screamed. The man hurried forward aa F o r b e s attempted to drag her with him. The other man broke into a pursuing run. Other people were attracted by the struggle and the acr—tn. Forbes, as he suddenly realized, had overstepped the bounds of prndeaca. To arouse the police nmant prison and the army for him. H» waa quit* unwilling* to take the With an oath he flung the from him; aha fell breathless t# tfct pavement. • Fwbaa tmm«d down aa allay and who had wit- <r.S ifcsC^y With an o*tb he flung Rachel from him; »he fell breathlet« to the pavement. nessed the struggle approached and assisted Rachel to her feet. She was weak and very, very much shaken. "Madam, are you h u r t ? " he asked. "Not much. Only—only—" "Why, Mrs. Clang! I did not recognize you at first." A crowd was gathering and Mrs. Clang was glad to be led into a drug store near at hand. Here the woman sat down, pale and sick, still shaking bodily. The man dismissed the crowd at the door with a few explanatory ' words, after which he called for \ brandy of which he administered a ; dose which very much relieved the j frightened Rachfl. Her friend stepped over to the rear of the shop and conversed in a low tone with the drug clerk. He was giving the woman time to fully recover her self poise. After ten minutes he again approached. "I'm sorry to have caused a scene," she said, reddening under the questioning eyes. "I came to Wingdam for a little shopping and other business, ; and—nnd that beast tried to force his • attentions upon me." "I see. Who was the man?" "That fellow Forbes." "Ah. Forbes!" with a frown, "The scoundrel!" "He- is n conscript and might be apprehended. If the police were notified his capture would be easy." This was her revenue for the man's insults. 'I'll see about it at once. Sit nriit here till I return. Mrs. Clang; I wish to talk with you after a hit," and then,. he went out. It was comfortable -vh( . • she ^at and Rachel wj.s weak and tired. She realized what an effort it would be for her to walk home. She wished to avoid her friend, yet she did not feel like striking out alone while so nearly prostrated. Strength was returning slowly—she would wait. The clerk ap proached and would have engaged her in conversation had not her cold stare disconcerted him. The man who had gone to notify the police of the presence of a draftevader in town came in later, hesitating before the little woman reclining on the druggist's lounge. "Of course- you do not think of going home to-night?" said he. "Surely yes, I must." "Unless you have a conveyance it is wholly out of the question." "Oh, I am quite strong again." a pitiful little laugh falling. He saw the droop of the tremulous red mouth, the tired discouragement on the pretty face, and wondered at her courage. Moreover Marshal Woodrow was really hoping the police would round up Forbes. The scoundrel ought to be punished for his latest villainy. The marshal at the moment was willing to forego the hope of capturing that group of conscripts whom Forbes had agreed to betray. The pitiful condition of the conscript's wife appealed to his emotional nature, and he wras' anxious to learn how she came to be so , far from home at such an hour. A sudden idea shot to his brain. "You are not strong enough to j walk," decided Woodrow. "I have a , friend with whom you can pass the night, unless you insist—" "I must get home." She rose and approavhod the door. He came to her side instantly. No more deferential gentleman lived than Tom Woodrow when occasion offered. He at once assured her that she should go home, but not on foot. "I will call a carriage," he said, going nut. Rahcel, her limbs trembling, went back and sat down. The marshal was not long gone. Rachel accompanied him to the carriage, the two riding away together. At another time the young wife would have refused the escort of this man who had hunted her husband so remorselessly. Tired and discouraged from the t r a - vels of the day she felt the need of leaning on someone. She had known and called Woodrow friend before the ever met the man who waa now har husband. Once the two men had bean the beat of friends; but for this fratricidal war they might have been friends htill. Rachel had always respected Tom Woodrow. Why should she exhibit enmity toward him because of the fact that he, as an officer of the government, sought the "-apture of those, including her husband, who were hiding from the 'military' Mrrvice of their country? It was silly to harbor ill-will, she reaiioned, and so she suffered the marshal to take her home. He had been an admirer of hers in the past. What of that? Rachel was strongly intrenched in her own conceived ideas of womanly rectitude and did not falter at small nicitiea of demeanor where herself alwne was concerned. Tom handled the reins himself not wanting a third party present. It seemed like old times to sit thus beside this woman for whom his admiration had never waned. In fact her marriage to the poor but honest log scaler had cut him deeply at the time it occurred. Since the latter had virtually outlawed himself Woodrow had grown hopeful for the future. He did not believe that one with Rachel's refined and womanly nature could long endure a man whom the whole community, because of his cowardice, despised. The marshal was almost himself again. The vicious assault of the conscript, however, had left scars that wrankled deeply. "You are having a very unpleasant experience, Mrs. Clung," ventured her companion. "For the life of me I cannot understand it." "What is it you do not understand9 " "The actions of that man Clang—" "Oh, but he is not like he was at first," Rachel broke forth earnestly. "He would come in and be good if they would only let him. I have been to see the colonel about Thornton." "Colonel Delwater?" "Yes. He did not encourage me to hope for anything. I shall blame Thornton less after the way Colonel Delwater treated my proposition." "Which was—" "My husband's surrender providing he be permitted to enter the volunteer service." "And is he willing to do that?" The marshal's heart sank. He was better pleased with Clang in disgrace which while it lasted gave him th<.- shadow of a hope where R.achV, wa< concerned. "He would gladly compromise his trouble with the government in that way. We have talked it all over, Thornton and I, and decided this was the best for all concerned." "It might be," mused her companion thoughtfully. As they rode down the long hill lead*- ing to the bridge which spanned th? river near Logtown each was busy with unspoken thoughts. Woodrow had led a somewhat checkered career during the last few years. He was a man of undoubted courage, had been county sheriff in other days, and soon after the beginning of the great civi) war had been selected by th*1 (iovern merit to represent its authority in the nine country as provost marshal Many a draft-evader had he led back to the conscript pen. Thornton Clang, the most intelligent of them all, managed to keep out of his clutches, much j to the brave officials chagrin. Tonight however, he bargained with Darwin Forbes for the betrayal of the latter into his hands. Soon the most clever of conscripts hiders would come under the strong arm of military law. <The thought was refreshing to Marshal Woodrow, although he winced when hi thought of the woman at his side. It would IK' well enough he thought to keep from her his own part in the capture of her husband. The conscript's wife was too full of her disappointment to converse. She replied to her companion in monosyllables. The carriage halted at the house of a neighbor where little Thornton had been 1ft by his mother. The babe was sleeping soundly when the settler's wife placed him in the arms of Rachel. The woman who had cared for the babe asked simply "What luck**" Rachel replied "None at all," and the carriage rolled on. Arrived at home Woodrow hitched the team, raised Thornton Jr. from his mother's arms, standing obediently on the step while slender Rachel unlocked the door, pushed it open and entered. She lit a lamp then came to take the infant Clang. "I thank you ever so much, Tom," said she. He stood hesitatingly on the step as he gave up his small charge. lovers' senseless quarrei she might be his wife now and young Thornton his son only the latter's name would have been Torn instead. "Ah, you are waiting," said a voice breaking his reverie. She came and | stood in the doorway. Waa she going to ask him in? He thrilled at the thought, well knowing such an act | would seem not quite proper to the loyal folk* of Hemlock Run. "I thank you ever so much, Mr. Woodrow. You have been very good to me. She held out her hand. The smile on her face drove the care with it. He pressed that little hand with a fervent touch, started to raise it to his lips when she drew it away unexpectedly. She stood fully in the doorway, not asking him in. The lamplight touched her sad young face, renewing the troubled expression in her brown eyes. "I am so sorry for poor Thornton," she began suddenly, giving him a start. "If you should use your influence with the colonel—" "My influence," he hastened to say, "would not bring results, Rachel. You see, there are certain laws governing military affairs which cannot be set aside—this is one of them. A conscripted man cannot enter the volunteer service." "That is a cruel law." "No doubt you think so, but you must remember Uncle Sam has all sorts of people to deal with. He cannot make a law equitable in all cases. That which works injustice to a few often is best for the great majority." He did not want her to think he would not aid her husband in his honest desire to escape the punishment due his offense. Secretly, however, he rejoiced in the downfall of his rival. The woman sighed, pressing her hand against her heart. She was temptingly pretty just then. Had he dared he would have caught her in his arms and repeated the story of his love which burned even brighter than ever in his heart. He found himself wondering if she really and truly cared so much for Thornton Clang, a wretch who could desert wife j;nd child, and run his country in the hour of that country's sore need. It seemed to him that a true woman must indeed despise such a spineless man. "I am sorry for your sake, Rachel," he said, but I have not the making of the law, nor am I able to annul it in any particular." He made no pretense that he would have liked to do this. He could see nothing particularly dishonorable in the fact that he loved the wife of another man, since that other man had wrought ill to his wife, and was in no way worthy to continue in the role of a protector. Clang having outlawed himself was in a way really divorcing him from the woman. She could readily obtain a decree and he believed she would do so in time. To enter his rival as a volunteer was the least of Woodrow's intentions. Once the deserter was in jail, accused of a crime almost capital in its nature, Rachel would recover her senses and disown her recreant spouse—so reasoned the provost marshal.

Rachel had carried the child to his crib in the rear room. She would return of course. He waited with bitten lip. How different the world mipht have been but for that man in hiding along Hemlock run. Tom could not pet the thought out of his mind that the Perkins girl belonged of right to him. He had known her longer; they had played together as boy and girl;; it was hard to think of her as the wife of another—and she had been a wife more than two years now. How he had survived the time waa a mystery to him.. She seemed so tired and worried. Waa it all because of her husband's acts? Was the repenting ber marriage with t h e ! young scaler even before the draft had proved his lack of manhood? Did aha think sometimes of the past and how they, Tom and she, had been such food friends? He had wanted to mMTTj her, and he felt but for a WEEK OF APRIL 6 Temperatures durine early paro of week beginning April 6th will be cool for the season, but gradually warm up so that by the middle to latter p a r t readings will be considerably above the seasonal normal for Michigan territory. The greater part of the week will display generally clear days with the exception of the period around ^Thursday and Friday, when moderate showers and wind storms are expected. Fruit Forecast Judging by what we believe thee weather will be during the month of March (this is being written on the 6th of March) plowing should be progressing rather favorably during the present forecast week- Grains should be coming nicely in southern half of state, but may receive a setback or rather show slow growth during April. There is a liability t h a t the weather during latter part of March will moderate to such an extent as to advance fruit "buds unduly. Considering the extremes in temperature and the rather low readings we are expecting during the first half of April, such an advance will prove dangerous. If the advance is not sufficient at this time to prove dangerous, then the cold weather which we are expecting will prove to be a good thing for fruit growers. Just to mention two of the fruits of Michigan soil, we will state we expect a fairly good apple year in "most parts of the state, more especially the southern half. Strawberries this year will not ^e a short crop as far a drought in June is concerned, as w u the case last year. We expect plenty of rnoisure during the growing and fruiting season. o - LEARN HEAL E S T A T E — T H E BEST BUSinoss: start without capital, splendid opportunities everywhere. Free Synopsis..

It is a great surprise to users of h a i r restorer?. W.

The dead canes are those t h a t produced t h e f r u i t the proceeding season. T h i s old wood is q u i t e brittle and can be broken off or c u t with a p a i r of s h e a r s . Some folks make it a p r a c t i c e to remove old wood j u s t as soon as the f r u i t ha* been harvested. T h e time for p r u n i n g may be any time after the first of M a r c h , but w h e r e t h e p l a n t a t i o n s a r e small, it is often well to defer p r u n i n g until buds begin to swell. T h i s affords t h e p r u n e s a b e t t e r c h a n c e to see w h a t p a r t of t h e wood h a s gone t h r o u g h the w i n t e r in good condition. C a n e s t h a t h a v e been winter-killed can be cut back to the live wood, and those t h a t have come t h r o u g h the w i n t e r in good s h a p e can be left correspondingly long. Folks who have s u m m c r - n r u n e d t h e i r berries will u s u a l l y find little difficulty with t h e i r s p r i n g or d o r m a n t p r u n i n g .

If the soil is sandy and caves the excavation will have to be large enough to permit outside forms to be erected. If the earth can be used for outside forms, a hole only 8 feet square and 10 feet deep is necessary for this cistern. In order to make sufficient footing for the cistern a trench 6 inches deep and 10 inches wide should be , dug in the bottom of this hole next to the walls, The inside forms for the cistern wall which are 6 feet 5 inches cubic feet of sand and 3 cubic feet of high and 7 feet long allowing a concrete pebbles or crushed rock.

It is n o wonder t h a t t h e fireplace Is a thing of revered memory—the home fire lias been the center of the family life ever since t h e remote day when t h e caveman first carried a burning brand from t h e tree that b a d been burned by lightning and s t a r t e d a tire before his rude cave to warm himself and bis m a t e nnd frighten away the animals of the forest. The development of t h e fireplace has been slow—for countless centuries it w a s made of stone, which eventually were bound together with some kind of m o r t a r to make \e fireplace more stable. I n medieval times t h e fireplace became a more elaborate affair, especially In the countries of n o r t h e r n Europe, w h e r e colder winters made it nece s s a r y to m a k e g r e a t e r provision for beating t h e huge castles of t h e feudal lords.

T h e s e brick m a y be laid In different patt e r n s to give a very pleasing app e a r a n c e to the finished fireplace. W h e r e one desires the ultimate in fireplace design, even though It may cost more, be can use precast concrete stone, which may be molded in ornate and unusual designs to suit his preference. By making t h e concrete in this precast stone with different colored "aggregates*4 of stone -and sand, one may obtain a great variety of colors.
