Chancellor Stresemann was relentless against France. The only hope for Germany today, he asserted, is stable currency. He disclaimed Hugo 3tlnnes as leader of the People's party, or the hidden hand of the government, anl said he Is fighting for the salvation of Germany from chaos. After Stresemann finished, nationalists handed to President Loeb a resolution stating that "the reichstag refuses to have confidence in the chancellor which the government requires under article 54 of the constitution." Chancellor Stresemann declared "Germany owes thanks J„o all nations who tried to help, including the United States and the South American states. * "But foreign he*p alone cannot bring a solution. Germany can only be restored by its own power. However, we must refuse charges that the German government has not the right to ask foreign aid. We muBt dr this. "Earlier It was possible to get better arrangements with France, but tin former government did not make use of the opportunity. I stopped the passive resistance and tried to offer a solution of the rtprxations problem. I offered all the German property as a guarantee for reparations. "It is possiblj that I will renew this offer. We greeted the attempt to reach a solution for the problem through a conference of international experts,, but the same power which has always opposed a solution opposes this. "Germany is an open wound in the body of Europe. If Germany falls to ruin the whole economic life of Europe will be threatened. "The attempt of the German government to get stable currency is best proof that Germany has no intention to live by a dumping system. We must get stable currency from our own power."

FAIRBANK Coprrict* by The Bosta-sfarrffl Co. * "DO YOU LOVE HIM?* SYNOPSIS—Returning to hsr horn* la • «m»il town, Milton Center, trom a. visit to New York, | the widowed mother of ten-yearold Ann Byrne announces her wedding to Hudson Cortlandt, socially anfl politically prominent. Her husband h&a not been told about Ann, and the new wife fears he will be displeased. With Ann, Mrs. Cortlandt returns to New York, to the house of Hendricks Cortlandt, her husband's brother, with whom the latter is living. Hudson practically refuses to have anything to do with Ann. and the child Is gladly adopted by Hendricks Cortlandt. Ann's mother and stepfather are lost at aea. Ann nils a gap in Hendricks Cortlandts lonely heart. The situation Is resented by* Mrs. Renneslyer, Hendricks' sister, whose son, Hendricks, has been looked upon as the natural heir of the Cortlandt wealth. The Civil war breaks out CHAPTER IV—Continued. A nubbub of exclamation arose about him. Young men dropped their clinging partners, and drew together, frowning nervously. Ann looked at Hendricks with a new respect. ••Oh,*' she cried, "if I were only a boy!" "Yes," he said Importantly, "I shall fight, of course," As he spoke he took In, for the first time, her new maturity, and his face dropped. Of all the strange events of this curiously unreal evening, the change In Ann was perhaps the strangest; there was something about her that awoke his sluggish spirit, something beyond his whispered comment to Fanny, "Why— Ann's grown pretty!" In the crowded, overheated room, with Its drooping hothouse roses and Its flaring lights, a new sentiment was •uddenly diffused. A little group of men burst from the supper room, Mr. Renneslyer in the lead, flushed of face and noisily threatening; they were louder than any in their resentment. Ann pressed through the crowd to where the musicians stood idle, their Instruments dangling in their hands; she whispered a direction to the leader and suddenly the opening strains of "America" rose, insplrlngly, over the ardent confusion. Here and there a daring voice took up the words, but a leader was needed, and the song would have died had not Mr. Renneslyer, who was standing near the musicians, chanced to turn his roving eye on Ann's excited face. Without a moment's thought he caught her up In his arms, and swung her to a chair, where she •tood above the crowd, tremulous and frightened, until the thrill of the moment caught her again; then she laughed down at Mr. Renneslyer's efforts to lead, and began to sing the words which Mrs, Allen had taught her long ago. Before the end every one was singing with her, !n a great burst of sound that was strangely satisfying to the emotion of the moment When it was over she paused, and drooped, suddenly abashed, and there was young Hendricks below her; in his eyes was an expression that bewildered her. He held out both bis hands, and she would have Jumped lightly down, only he caught her clumsily in hts arms, and aet her carefully on the floor again. 8he thought that he w a s ' trembling. Or was It she who shivered, nervously? "Gad A n r . r he said feelingly. ••What a beauty you are!" She looked at him unbelievingly. "IT' she demanded incredulously. Her amated face was distinctly provocative. There had teen a sudden sweep of guests toward the door, and In the corner where the musicians had played the two were momentarily alone. The boy waa breathing unevenly and hard, as though he were quite carried away by the extraordinary events of the evening. He reached out suddenly, and drew his companion behind the window curtains; meeting no opposition from the startled girt, he bent and kissed her. CHAPTER V A Premies, At seventeen the loss of a night's sleep la a comparatively unimportant matter, and no one would have known, the morning after her birthday party, that Ana had not been plunged in dream!eat slumber. Instead of that however, she lay wide-eyed In the dark, the music of "America" running through her head, accompanying her ffoting thoughts. From jthe tangle of them one astonishing fact arose dear: a BMD Sad called her beautiful fan. woeJd not frankly face the fact that aba had been kissed, and not for wertat would aha hare admitted to horasif why aha lay with her band silver wings, but Ann found that by closing her own eyes she could see Hendricks* quite plainly, with their intent and troubling expression. In the meantime, the young man himself had not been enjoying his usual complacent peace. It is true that his sleep was not interrupted, for Hendricks was not the sort of person to be kept awake by mere emotions, and the Sunday morning church bells roused him about ten o'clock. He awoke with the consciousness that something was wrong, and as he recalled the climax of his eventful evening he was sorry he had left Cambridge and Its safe remoteness. He wondered, as he lay blinking at the dazzle of the* sunlight reflected from the bowl of water on his washstand to the white ceiling above him, If Ann would tell his uncle that he had kissed her. And war! The thought came harshly athwart his softer recollections, and abruptly he jumped out of bed. He knew that his mother would expect him to accompany her to church, and he dressed with some expedition. There was a great crowd at church ; people looked very solemn, Hendricks Sa* determinedly tried to think of the ayaaoajons tact that Tort Sumter ashe1 been captured, hut Instead she gaaam efsfaaif fseaWng the eanreeston an mag: Bendrlcks' mcer whan he anal thai STnac} grow* t» i t a . Over fan treat la WaaMafton the <Hwn soared up on ' "Fort Sumter Has Fallen." thought, and they joined In the service with an extraordinary fervor. Behind him Ann's voice rang distinct and clear in the hymn, and reminded him, first of her song the night before, and then of some revival meetings long ago. He began to dislike her again, under the force of this reminiscence, and he had lost himself In wonder at his behavior at the hall, when the minister gave out the text of the sermon. "Matthew ten, thirty-four—'Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword':" Hendricks Jumped In his seat, and a flutter of nervous movement, agitated the congregation. "I came not to send peace, but a sword." Up above him the minister stood, white-robed and remote, speaking In a deep voice that reached some far place in his soul, and tortured U. "My brethren, this Is no ordinary Sabbath; today Is a momentous one In the history of our nation. Fort Sumter has fallen." Every one inside the church already knew of that appalling fact, but in spite of that, a suppressed outburst'of emotional sounds arose. Hendricks frowned. He hated this atmosphere of hysteria; he didn't think much of the way the minister was talking, extemporaneously, without his usual sedate notes. . . . Nevertheless, he couldn't help listening. . . . As a matter of fact, he couldn't remember ever listening like that In church before. . . . The old boy evidently believed there would be a war, all right. He would just as soon go to fight, he thought, but he didn't hold with stirring up a fellow like this. . . . He supposed Ann was In a great state over It, being only a silly girl. . . . At last it was over. The boy breathed deep In his relief. He turned half round, and met with Ann's eyes; they were blazing with excitement, but at the same time there was something humid about them, and he swung back reluctantly. She was pretty, he realized, above the tumult of his sensations. Otrtsider-h* found his trade watting for him. "I won't take you home with me today, my boy. Your mother will want you." Ann did not- look at him at all. She stood demurely beside her guardian, tense and remote. She gave the young man only her profile, but he found ber irregular little nose charming.. He was very gloomy as be dutifully secom-- panied bis parents borne, for the gildy sweep of bis emotions had eft him rather cross, la the morning he amazed his mother by coming down to breakfast before nine o'clock—be who ordinarily slept unto noon, when the tyranny of chapel at eight was removed from his life, "Where are | o u off to so sarlyr 1 thought I would go over to Uncle Hendricks*." the boy said, flushing. Be dumbly resented bis mother's penetrating gaze. "What did you think of A n n r Hendricks lifted his cup, drank hastily of the too-hot coffee, and said, "She's pretty." Mrs. Renneslyer nodded. "She is all of that. . . . Your uncle Is devoted to her, Hendricks." She looked rather sharply at him, as she continued, "There Is no use shutting our eyes to the fact that he adores her. We shall Just have to meet it. . . . If she gets It all she will be a great catch. There will be plenty of suitor*— when people- see bow devoted your uncle Is to her." "I suppose so." Mrs. Renneslyer allowed her son to eat in peace for a moment. Then she shot a question unexpectedly across the table at him. "Do you like her, Hendricks?" The young man flushed again. "She is pretty," he said, uppralslngly. "And she Is a bit soft on me, I don't mind telling you." "Well," she said crisply, "worse things than that could happen to you!" And with these mystifying words she allowed him to escape. As he crossed from Union square to his uncle's house he found the city In a tumult; now that he had grown accustomed to the idea of the fall of Port Sumter he thought that It was rather silly to be so excited, and he wondered at his own exhilaration on hearing the news. He bought a paper from a boy who was selling them as fast as he could deal them out; In the headliness he read that the president had Issued a call for seventy-five thousand men to enlist in the army. "D—d nonsense!" he said to a man who also paused to buy. "The New York police could do 'em up! That man Lincoln is scared." "Scared?" echoed the stranger pugillstlcally. "I reckon, Bub, he's more'n likely to be mad!" Hendricks walked on, with an affectation of a great and superior calm. "Bub" indeed—and only that morning he had cut himself while shaving! In Washington square he found Ann pouring her guardian's coffee; she handled the big sliver urn with a stately little air that Impressed hlra. He looked furtively at her, in her bright green taffeta dress, with a black velvet Greek key pattern on the enormous skirt, and he saw, with a distinct shock, that she was still charming. Unconsciously he had been counting on her returning to her old days of gawky girlhood, and he was unable to cope with this fresh beauty In the morning sunlight. Mr. Cortlandt smlle^-^ficross the table at his ward. "You may tell him. Ann," he said. The girl kindled Immediately. "What do you think uncle has done?" she demanded. "1 don't know," the boy answered sulkily. He was cross because she would not look at him. She flung an announcement at him with the suddenness of a bomb. "He has found you a place in the Seventh regiment!" she cried triumphantly. "Ann made me do It," Mr. Cortlandt said, laughing. "I had to send gj note over to my friend the colonel before I was dressed!" "Think of It, Hendricks—you can fight!" |the girl cried. "Oh—I wish' I were a man !" Her guardian smiled. "Hendricks will fight for you, my dear." For the first time that morning Ann looked full at the uncomfortable young man. His enthusiasm grew under her eager eyes. "How long before we can start?" he asked his uncle. Mr. Cortlandt frowned Impatiently. "I am afraid that It will take four or five days." "Oh," Hendricks said, crestfallen, "the war will be all over In a week !" His uncle rose, "We shall hope so," he said dully, and added. "Come with me. Hendricks. I wish to talk with you." The young man followed him miserably, with reviving fears. He lifted s nervous eyebrow at Ann. on his way to the door, but she was apparently interested only In the contents of "her coffee cup, and be left her unreprieved. In the library Mr. Cortlandt faced him with considerable sternness. "I am not satisfied with you, my boy," he said. Hendricks' face lengthened. "But,* he stammered, "I don't know what you mean," "Your work at Harvard has been poor," his uncle went on. "Y6u have wasted your time at college, and I am not sorry to have you leave. A campaign will harden you, I hope. . . . You must do me credit Hendricks. Thirty-five years ago I waa. an officer in the Seventh," "Oh," murmured Hendricks, vastly relieved. Til do that, of course, sir." "And when the war Is over—soon, please God—I want you to understand that you are to come back hers to New York, and go to work, Ton have vour own way to make," Bendrlcks' magnificent ltttle sir shriveled. Ton sxpect to do nothing far ma, alrr ha managed to Inquire. "Well—I won't say nothing. . . . Ann Is to have the bulk of my fortune, of course." "Mother said so," the boy blurted out. "In that case, my sister has shown her customary acumen. She will out be disappointed." "Oh, yes, she will," young Hendricks exclaimed. "It Is one thing to suspect, —and quite another to know!" He made his way gloomily out of the room; to find himself actually cut ' off was catastrophic. He atood for a moment In the hall, trying to adjust himself, and to recall what It was that his mother had said to him a,t breakfast, In regard to this calamity. She had appeared to have in mind some panacea that was not clear to her son. Suddenly, as he stood frowning, Ann appeared on the stairs ubove htm. She leaned confidingly down from the landing. "Uncle scold you?" she demanded, smiling demurely. "No," Hendricks said shortly, as he glanced about for his hat. Ann sidled down a step or two, sliding her hand along the stair rail. "You'll have to get your uniform," she suggested brightly, "and all thut." "1 suppose so." She looked at him with eyes that were starry with her new appreciation, and she came down the last remaining steps In a little rush. "Imagine It—a uniform and everything. You will sleep In a blanket, Hendricks. I Just wish I had the chance to!" Young Hendricks was conventionally shocked. "A girl !" he protested. "It is not my fault that I'm not a boy. I am sure I wish I were!" A sudden consciousness of his manhood rose in Hendricks. "I am glad you are not." he said stoutly, and caught her hand In his. Ann stood arrested; in her perfect stillness there was the threat of one poised for flight. "You shouldn't!" she gasped, her glance holding his, "Why not? You are the prettiest girl I know." Her lips drooped, and In her eyes were all the sorrows of the world, "I am not, really," she pleaded. It seemed to Hendricks she grieved that he should be so deceived. He slipped a blundering, unaccustomed arm about her waist, and an acrid little shiver ran through the girl; suddenly she turned to him, and burled her face In hts shoulder. The boy held her for a moment, half frightened, half cautious; then he bent and pressed his lips to her hair. She felt his touch and started back; as she lifted her face, he caught it In both his bands, and kissed her cool lips. This time she fought him off valiant ly enough, and faced him furiously, with flashing eyes and uneven breath. He was frightened, as he met her accusing glance. "It is all right," he said lamely. "I couldn't help It. . . . I am awfully gone on you, Ann," he added, feeling that the situation demanded something in the nature of a declaration. "Really?" she queried. "Because if you are—it's all right!" "Then I am," he assured her. "And—and we are engaged?" she Hendricks Rinneslyer Walked Heme With Hit Head In s Whirl. demanded, her eyes very wWt and Innocent, as they searched hit. ••Why—why—" He was wondering if this had been what his mother had meant. "Do you want to be engaged to m e r "I don't know. . , . I guess so." Be wanted to talk with his mother. He was sure that the must approve of what he was doing. "Well, then," he said condescendingly, "we will be." "It doesn't seem right—to quick like this," Ann protested. "I thought It took a long time to get engaged." "Oh," reassured the boy, "it is alwayt quick, when a woman likes s fellow." He swaggered pardonably. "We had better not tell any one uacll 1 get back." "A secret engagement I , . . 1 should like to tell Fanny, though." 'Better not," he hinted darkly. " W h y r "Wull, I don't want to seem conceited, but I do think she likes me quite a lot." "Oh," exclaimed Ann, '*that Is romantic, too!" And in her voice there was envy of Fanny, and her unrequited passion. Hendricks Renneslyer walked home with his head in a whirl. He had left college, and was going to war, he was disinherited, and he had engaged himself to be married. He felt that he had put in a full morning's work, look :it it us he would. • • • • • • • » Mr. Cortlandt was standing at the window of his library, looking out into the faintly misted green of Washington square. His upright figure was drooping; he looked old and discouraged. "What Is i t r Ann cried from the threshold. "Has there been a defeat?" Her guardian turned, a steady melancholy in his deep eyes. "No," he said, "It is not that. . . . Is this true—whut my sister tells me?" "What?" "That you are engaged—and to young Hendricks?" "Yes, uncle." She crossed the room to him with lagging feet. "I—I hated to tell you. . . . He wants me to lie engaged to him." "Kngaged? So soon 1 And young Hendricks! W h y r "Well—he thinks I am—rather nice." "Good lord, of course you are rather nice! Is that all?" Ann slid her hand Into his. "No," she confessed confusedly. "If you won't laugh, I'll tell you." She put her fresh lips very near his cheek, and murmured, "He thinks I am—pretty ! He really does." Mr. Cortlandt took her by her slender shoulders, and looked into her shamed eyes. "It Is my fault," he said heavily. "What Is your fault?" "You are In love with him for that! Pretty? . . . I have brought you up wrong, Ann. Instead of trying to keep you unspoiled, 1 should have told you each morning that you are a beautiful creature! I should have protected you in that way." "Do you mean It, uncle? Am I really—like that?" "My dear, you really are!" She smiled at him radiantly. "Now Imagine!" she said quaintly. "And I have been so afraid that Hendricks would wake up!" "Do you love him?" "I think so, uncle. . . . He says I do." "It may be years before he can afford to marry. He must make his own way." "There's no hurry," ,\nn said hastily, and then added sweetly: "Aren't you a little glad to have me marry Into your family?" Mr. Cortlandt looked deep into Iter lifted eyes. "My dear child," he said unbelievably, "my fjunlly Isn't good enough for you." And lie kissed her smooth cheek, and sighed. CHAPTER VI Out and In. The Seventh regiment volunteered for one month only; In five weeks It was back again in New York. Ann was enormously glad to see Hendricks, but she had been looking forward so ecstatically to his return that when he appeared she was possibly a trifle disappointed. In her thoughts she had endowed hlra with extraneous charm, and looking at him she was conscious of a sudden sinking of her spirit. She made him tell her all about his brief campaign. They spent hours In the high dim library talking of It, and Ann glowed with martial pxcltement. She always thought of Hendricks as a soldier, ready, at the call, to sacrifice his life for his country, and she felt that it was only right for him to have everything he might want. Including her, as that was his strange wish. She was extraordinarily supple and unselfish with him in these days, but, while she understood that the Seventh regiment was to be demobilised immediately, she would not frankly face the fact that once her lover was mustered out, he would be 'merely a civilian again. When he came In one day, his uniform exchanged for a smartly checked coat and waistcoat and loose snuff-colored trousers, she looked at him aghast, and turned In his arms so that his lips pressed her hair Instead of her cheek. "How queer you look." she said querulously. "It Is good to get out of that uncomfortable uniform. I can tell you," Hendricks returned Indignantly. "Now you listen to me. I have something to tell you." She looked up eagerly; already the members of the Seventh were volunteering Into other regiments and she thought Hendricks was about to announce that he bad done the same thing. "You have re-enlisted already!" She clasped both her hands about hit arm and lifted an adoring face. "Don't be silly! The president will have eighty-five thousand men under the new call; let them take their turn at It; I have done my share." "But those men are enlisting for three years, Hendricks." "Y'es—or the duration of the war. Ann. You'll see—it will be over In six months." The glrt'a hsnds dropped, while bleak Indifference swept into ber face. Hendricks' tone was defensive as he added, "I've got a position in s bank—third assistant receiving teller—and I ana going to work tomorrow momtng^) They will pay me sixty dollars a month." "Will theyr Her tone was as unaoacernaa as a Ana) That iM seven twenty dollars a year. When Fm ing a thousand I think we might he married." Ann drew ber arm away precipitately. "Oh, married 1" she said, as startled as though the idea were entirely new to her. "Plenty of'people live on t h a t " "I suppose so. . . . I don't know much about it, Hendricks, but things do seem expensive." "it is the war," the boy said Impor* tantly. "When that la over they'll come down again." "But I can't think about it with ths war stili going on! Really, Hendricks. I can't take an interest In marrying anybody while we axe fighting." And this was a fairly accurate description of her state of mind. Her imagination was entirely caught by the great drama and she had little Interest In self-centered lovemaking. Late In May the Union army moved on Alexundriu, where the Confederate flag flew In plain sight of all Wash* ington, and In the successful occupation. Colonel Ellsworth, the leader of the New York Fire Zouaves, was killed. His death made a great sensetion in New York, where he had be-jo u popular figure, and as a result, there was a great rush for enlistment. As soon as the regiments were ready, they were sent off to Virginia, where the Federal army was advancing slowly, and engaging In unimportant clashes with the enemy. The North was eager for victories, and hailed the taking of Fairfax Court* House as an Important event. Great. crowds hung about before the newspaper bulletin boards, following the movements of the New York troops engaged In the advance; enthusiasm was1 "8ht Knew I Wat Coming Today.* in the air, and the women at the flan Hary commission redoubled their ej forts. Ann scraped so much lint in i day that she was, herself, amazed. In July, In an engagement at Man* assas Junction, there came the first death ID the war of any one Ann had known. Young Philip Vanderdyken, with whom she had danced at her debut, was shot and burled on the field. This brought the tragic thing close; she was greatly shocked, and for a time she seemed almost to have transferred to him her feeling for her lover.

Lessons in feeding and handling wrought out in the contest are said to ie of value to every swine grower in ne state, because of tiie fact that all itters in the contest were fed for practical, economical production, without sing any expensive methods to induce specially rapid growth. Careful statstics were kept on the feed consumed . nd on the handling methods in gen- ,rul. i r i r s t place for the state went to \ . • . Brown and Son of Jonesville, Hills-, .ale County, whose litter of ten Poland hinas totaled -,840 pounds at the lose of the 1N0 day period. A litter < if twelve Duroc Jerseys, entered by .I.

In. three- well-managed associat i o n s in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylv a n i a the average butterfat production per cow has increased noticeably evcr> year. The first year the average production of butterfat was 'J37 pounds; second }ear, - 5 5 pounds, third year, 278; fourth year 292; and fifth, 305 pounds. At the end of this period the average cow in these herds was yielding (iS more pounds of fat than the average at the beginning of the testing. At 10 cents a pound this increase of fat would have a value of ¢27.20 per cow, and a herd of 20 cows would bring in #541 more than at the beginning. C A.

AT T H I MUSICALS Better prospects for the game of Michigan and for domestic stock arc seen in recently increased activities of Government predatory animal hunters. In the cooperative campaigns for the destruction of wolves and other stockkilling nniinaTs " F e d e r a l and State hunters have been aided by deputy game and rire wardens and in September their combined efforts resulted in the record catch of 155 predatory animals. In spite of the fact t h a t traps have been interfered with in some localities and the trapped animals stolen by bounty seekers, the net returns for the month, according to reports reaching the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, included H wolves, 6 bobcats, 66 coyotes, and 6'9 foxes. The destruction of these m a r a u d e r s means increased safety for partridges and other game birds deer and domestic stock in the State. Most of the wolves were takeft in the | eastern p a r t of the U p p e r Peninsula, where they have been ranging widely in Alger, Schoolcraft, Luce, Chippewa, and Mackinac counties. The results of the organized campaigns to date have greatly impressed local residents. In Chippewa County, In particular, steps are already* being taken looking toward the repeal of the bounty laws in favor of what is coming to be considered a more effective drive for exterminating pest* by the systematic employment of salaried hunters. 4 That 'ctm* rtmarteblt "Draws dw !«•§ ISSUE CALL FOR COW TEST GROUP WORKERS Awociation Testers in Demand As Result of Rapid Expansion of Work in State.

"Out with the chickens, I suppose," Mrs. Morgan laughed. "That's where we always look If we can't find her." With a hasty word of thanks Bertha hurried on. She forgot her errand when Bess emerged from the chicken yard, a good-sized fowl In either hand. As they swung head downward, thefr wings partly spread and their beaks open, Bertha cried, "Are they dead?" "No, Indeed. But I'm going to shut them up to fatten them for Thanksgiving. They're the most no-account tens," said Bess, severely. "The black one started to set, and then after two weeks she abandoned her nest and I'd have lost a whole setting of eggs If another hen hadn't been wanting to set Just at that minute. And the gray brought off a nice brood of eleven and killed six by stepping on them." Apparently Bertha was not Interested In the account of the two "noschool, Lina came out with this, 'Oh, yes, I know Thanksgiving. It-s the day we're glad we haven't broken our legs.'" "What did the child mean?" "Well, nobody knew, of course, and the others began to question her, and so Una explained. She said some people, had turkey for Thanksgiving, but they only had Irish stew. But their mother said they ought to be thankful anyway, for It would be so much worse if they had broken their legs and couldn't sit up at the table to eut their stew." The girls looked at each other. "She must be a nice woman," Bess said; thoughtfully, "to bring her children up like that." "Yes, but, Bess, think of people sitting down to Irish stew on Thanksgiving day, and trying to be thankful because their legs aren't broken. Seems to me It's time somebody got busy." The somebody, of course, meant herself and Bess. They were •They're ths Most No-Account Hana," Said Bees, severely. account" hens. She looked at her friend thoughtfully.

That's the name of the speckled hen. I named her when she was a pullet, before I knew bow she was going to turn out When she's plump and fat ahe'll make a fine Thanksgiving dinner. So that will make her some good." "I put up a lot of vegetables from my garden," said Bertha. "Peas and string beans and tomatoes. I'll give a can of each, and a glass of currant Jelly." "Splendid,* Beas cried. "Why, that's quite a Thanksgiving dinner In Itself. But we might let some of the other girls help." When the subject was broached the next day, Beatrice Collins pledged herself to contribute two pies, Anna Brlggs made herself responsible for two loaves of bread, and butter enough to spread them generously, Mae Barton agreed to bring potatoes, both sweet and white, and a package of sugar. Deulah Ashbrook thought that a Thanksgiving dinner was incomplete without cranberry sauce, and mads that her donation. And little Blanche Webster, who was rather younger than the others, and ths pet of the class, volunteered to maks fudge. "If they can't eat It at dinner time they'll dispose of it before the day la done," she said wisely. Aa the weeks went b>, the girls enjoyed the Thanksgiving dinner In anticipation. Bess reported that Queea Esther was putting on flesh steadily. "It's the only thing she ever has dona the way she ahouid," she said. "She's been an absolute failure, except In getting fatM The afternoon before Thanksgiving they met at Bertha's house to pack the baskets, more than one being needed, for Miss Bafley, the teacher, had contributed a dozen oranges and an equal number of beautiful red apples. And as the girls worked. Bertha's mother called from the next room that she would suggest the girls call themselves a swarm of bussing beea. With the heavy baskets the girls made their way to the little cottage which sheltered the Dollttle family. They placed their load upon the steps, and all the girls but Bess, who was the fleetest of the lot made their way back to the shelter of a tumbledown board fence. And then Bess knocked loudly upon the door and fled across the snow as lightly as a frightened rabbit From their refuge behind the old fence they saw the door open. They saw Mr. Dollttle, a lighted lamp In his hands, stand there looking about him, and call, "Mother." They saw Mrs. Dollttle come hurrying, and then the children flock out the little ones in their nightgowns, and the shrieks ot rapture as the baskets wars brought in, needed no Interpretation. Until the door closed, sot a word waa spoken by the plotters behind the fence. Then Bess, who had been kneeling, watching the scene through s crack, arose and shook the snow from her dress, "I don't know what the rest of you think," she ssid, "but I feel aa If I'd had all the Thanksgiving I deserve right now."

THere has bwn exhibited In Buenos Aires what South American iolentlHta believe to be a hitherto unknown sea monster, captured some rwenty-flve miles from the coant near Mar del Plata. It was at flrat supposed to be A shell ess sea turtle, but expert examination shows this la not the case. It resembles rather an elephant without a trunk, or, more proi>erly, an enormous elephant's hear! with ears almost perfectly Identical with those of that animal. It also has some features similar to those of a whale. Its color Is brown, the mouth Is large and spherical. It is nearly eighty feet long and approximately four and a half feet tn diameter. It has two vertical fins hehind, one above and one below, remotely suggesting the screws of a propeller. The flesh Is almost as elastic as rubber.—Living Age. Hard labor has Its recompense—rest.

Test This Out for Yourself~ MANY people who drink coffee regularly am troubled with insomnia; or they feel nervous, "headachy,* or suffer from indigestion. It may be hard lor such men and women to believe that cofiee is responsible for the way they feel Be* cause they have always drunk coSee, it hardly seems possible that this old habit could cause trouble. But there is one sure way to find out whether coffee is banning you. Just stop its use lor a week or so* and drink Postum. Postum is a pure cereal beverage—absolutely free from caffeine, the drug in cofiee, which disturbs the health and comfort of many. After a week or two on Postum, you will sleep better and feel better; then your own good judgment should decide whether you go back to cofiee or cat* tinue on the Road to WeflvUle with Postum.

Fatrbank {' Copyright or Tbc BobU-MerrlflCa, CHAPTER XII—Continued. All around the seminary the battle raged, bat Ann had DO time to wonder where the victory lay. She was not certain which army had possession of the town, bat abe knew that the fronnd In the front and about the seminary building was held by Union troops. There waa great activity among them, and off to the right a constant deafening sound of artillery. The nearer guns had been placed In a grove; only the smoke from them ooalng through the tree-tops, white and thin In the dead air. betrayed Where they were placed. The fighting waa ao near now that often the wounded came In without atretchers; they crawled back from the front by themaeivee, or were rooghly helped by i teas seriously hart companion. Ana did not know what time It was the devastating news came that Reynoldf hsd b *e n killed, bur after that ahe worked grimly on, without hope of a victorious tone from the fighting. Men lay for hours with their wonnds undressed, their Uvea ebbing away slowly with the seeping blood that stained their bine onlforma. At three o'clock the laat of the scraped lint waa need aad an hour later every sheet and towel In the place bad been torn Into atrtpe to staunch wounds. Across the yard to the south waa a smaller building, and Ann decided to search there far linen. She paused for a moment on the atep; the yard below her waa crowded with excited violent men, and off to the right she could see that the regiments holding the grove of tree* had been awept back to the ridge j u t la front of the aeminary. She plunged down into the whirlpool below her and waa flung back and forth, tmpotently.

Two soldiers lifted her over the crtaacroaa log fence, and. once on the other aide, the aplrit of flight took poaaeaaloo of her, too. and aba harried breathlessly along with her rescuers. They bore on toward the town, although no one seemed to know why. Rumors that the enemy already held It shook the retreating troopa. They were able to make an entrance, however, and Ann found the commonplace, homely streets inexpressibly heartening. Unexpectedly, at an angle In the village street, they came upon a band of Union men. At the ring of the officer's voice,- Ann swung around; above the men towered a commanding figure; ahe looked, and swept her fingers oyer her eyes and looked again. Fear dropped away before her incredulity. She could not believe her eyes, but It waa Hendricks, there was no doubt about It, and ahe laughed aloud In crazy relief. As she plunged toward him ahe could hear his voice braying oat an Infuriated command. He turned aa ahe came, and fell back In stupefied 'amazement It seemed to her a long moment before recognition came Into bis dumfounded face, MAnnlH be gasped at length. "Good O—d—Ann 1" Aa for Ann, foolish tears were pouring down her cheeks, and she could only nod, with a forced and trembling smile. Hendricks shifted his revolver to his left hand, and shook her violently with his right "What In b—I are you doing here?" he demanded urgently. Hla band on her arm hurt, and Ann gulped down her tears, and pulled back. "Oh, Hendricks, you aren't dead, after all!" she said Incoherently. He towered above her In furious question. "What are you doing here?" he repeated, as be turned to shake a clenched fist In the direction of the Invisible enemy. "What In 0—d's name are yon here for?" "You are not dead I" Ann repeated stupidly, and added, with a flash of joyous self-revelation, "I'm glad!" Self-respect came back to her, and clothed her gloriously. "You can't stay here," Hendricks was shouting. He whirled her back under a portico. "It's no place for a young lady—can't you aee that? Why didn't you atay in New York? Why don't you atay with the Sanitary commission? Why do you have to follow m e r "I'm all right." Ann protested anconvincingly, "now that I've seen you." "All rlghtr he echoed. He took off hla cap and flung It violently on the ground. "You've got to get away I You've got to make the Baltimore pike, where our people are coming up. I can't go with you! I can't leave here!" Ann looked at him attentively ; hla face had hardened into sterner lines, and his mouth waa firm set She was extraordinarily proud of him; looking at him, she was animated by a sensation of the sweetest affection— the moat soft sister!mess. Some one came up to them In the momentary Isolation of their Interview, and Ann turned to see a alim youqg man, whose trim figure, In the midst of the battle grime, gave ber a swift Impression of elegance. He saluted Hendricks, and said, "la there anything I can do? Your wife—it would give -me pleasure to conduct ber to the rear." Hla English waa tinged with a faint alien accent Ann thought "Weil, take her, then," Hendricks answered ungraciously. "Some one must look after her! Find oat army- Baltimore pike. She can go through to the rear. Go on, Ann. In G—d's name don't stand there I Go on '*• The stranger put out hla hand, and pulled Ann toward him. "Pardon," he murmured with amaxtng conventional* Ity. "It la well to make haste." Ha pushed hla arm through hers, and hurried her back down the street, empty, under the enemy's fire. As they ran, Hendricks came plunging after them. "Ann!" he shouted. "Ann, who are you weaflhg' "lhat mourning fort Under -No," Ann called back. T o r you r And her last glimpse of him showed him bursting from a base of bewilder* ment back Into action. Afterward Ann could not hsvs sold how they found their wsy out of the panic-stricken town of Gettysburg. She hsd only confused memories of being pulled out of the road while groups of soldiers charged past, of larking an* der protecting porticos, of dodging around bouaea, and in and out of back yarda. "BaltimoreT" ber escort murmured vaguely. "It is— where?" **It doesn't make any difference where we go," Ann urged him; "just so we get away from thia horrible town." The farther fields were strangely empty and peaceful, In the golden light Near at band small bands of men were running shout; It was bard to beUeve them anything hot aimless. Fugitives passed them In compact groups, or strong along singly. To avoid thorn Ann sad her escort bore to the loft, and came upon a road that led Sp to the hilltops beyond the town; Caioo rsrtUlory was moving •lone It, t#4 the two- fail as behind one of tho ataeaslo Ah** sssdsetof was, bsJt/sd twice, bsn ho It was the Baltimore pike* Ann paused, unwilling, hot firm. "You must go back," ahe cried, "back to your regiment I I abs.ll be all right" She managed to smile, shakily. He looked at her with singularly intent brown eyes. **I have no regiment . . . I am not even American. . . . Come, it Is late,** he added urgently. "We most find your Sanitary commlaslon before the night It ahouid come op thia road, from Washington." They plunged on. making the beat time they might, over, ground deeply cot by the heavy artillery wagons and congested with the traffic of the battle. Officers with little knots of sides about them galloped by, in a frantic hurry, and a column of .cavalry, torbines across their saddles, came near riding them down. The men were flogging their blown horses mercilessly, and they called out questions about the day'a battle. Ann's protector "We Must Find Your Sanitary Commissi on Before the N i g h t " pulled her Into the roadside hedge to allow them to pass; the moment's rest waa like a tonic to the exhausted girl. After that the two fugitives took to the fields, and gradually, as they walked on, the firing became more Impersonal. It waa very bad footing. Ann's skirts caught continually on the stubble, and after a few minutes of this, when stooping to loosen an entangled fold, she waa conscious of feeling alarmingly diczy. In the fields they found other refugees from the battle. There were men trying to find a short-cut to their regimen ta, men looking for food, for water, for a place In which to die. Countless numbers of wounded bad wandered away from the fighting, but Ann no longer took In their sufferings, and once ahe drank greedily from an abandoned canteen; the lukewarm water waa Inexpressibly precious. . . . She was only halfconscious that her elbow was being held In a cloae grasp, but now and then, when her companion spoka to ber, It seemed to ber that abe was a long time In answering him. When the world waa filled with a red sunset glow Ann's escort caught the rein of a wandering horse that blundered against them, and with an encouraging word to the girl, swung himself into the big cavalry aaddle. When he repeated what he had aajd, and Ann understood that he wished ber to climb up behind him on the horse that loomed so high above her, ahe shook ber head childishly. Her companion reached down, and shook her shoulders sharply. "Come up at once," ha said. She never remembered Just how she finally managed to climb up- She had an Indistinct recollection of some confused argument about It, but It all merged mistily Into the time that followed, when ahe aat balanced on the horse's wide back, her arms about a stranger's neck, and her cheek against hla shoulder chafed by his rough uniform. . T—t—She fathered that they were lost, but It did not seem important . . . With the angry rod sunset the firing reluctantly ceased. Ann bad fallen aaleep, her head on the foreigner's shoulder, and be had turned In the saddle to alip one arm about her yielding body, when the horse stumbled heavily over some trifling obstacle and ha lurched unsteadily. Ann roused herself unwillingly. "Where are we?" The stranger shrugged, tn the darkness. "Who knows? The question Is, are you exhausted?" Ann did not answer, but It was, Indubitably, the question; she was simost at the end of ber strength. A little farther on they came to s clearing on the roadside, where the darkness was less enveloping. The borae stopped, wtatfully, and stretching out bis nose, he neighed. A startling!y quick answer came from the gloom; there waa a burst of raucous barking and the sound of a chain resisting the rushes of a dog. "It most be that there Is s house.

The young officer brought bedding from sn Inner ruom, and, arranging it at a comfortable distance from the fire, be insisted upon seating Ann ceremoaionsty before he went to unsaddle the horse.

She was Indefinitely aware of her companion's return, and of hla arranging something to shield her from the heat of the fire. She awoke reluctantly In the morning. . . . She was stiff from ber exertions of the day before, and stupid from deep sleep; she stretched her sinuous body luxuriously and smiled at the antics of ber hoops. For s moment ahe thought that she was alone in the strange place, and the glance ahe flung abroad bad panic in It, but as she met the steady gaze of her companion of the night before, from his place across the room, she smiled, like a reassured child. He did not speak, but only continued to look at her, ao sne said nervously, "Good morning." Then, wishing to break the tension of that unquleting gaze, ahe glanced beyond him through the window, where the green hills loomed distinctly through the woolly brown of the rain. "It ts morning. Isn't It?" she Inquired. "Have we been here—all night?" She flushed with her question, hotly. The man got stiffly to hla feet "Yes," be said. "It Is the first dawn." "I wonder where we are." He smiled, under the dashing line of his black mustache, and shrugged his shoulders. "We are out of the world —you and L" Ann's eyea widened. "Like babea in the woods." she agreed. "Only there are no robins. . . . I wonder If there la anything to eatr "I have beard chickens. It Is possible there are eggs." "Eggs!" echoed Ann rapturously. "Do go and look for them!" She seised the opportunity of his absence to rearrange ber tumbled hair, and to wash ber face and handa at a pump In the yard. She was greatly cheered after these simple rites, and more ready to face her decidedly unconventional aituatlon. He had found eight eggs, and a forgotten pall half filled with berriee, and Ann discovered the remains of a hoe cake; It was not a bad breakfast. As she regretfully finished her last egg, Ann said. "Do you know that 1 don't even know, your name? And yet— r She broke off with a smiling glance about her. "My name la Guldo," be answered. "Guido Avessana. I am In your country as military observer for my king —for Victor Emmanuel." » It had never occurred to Ann before that it was s romantic thing to serve a king, but abe liked the way in which be announced hla allegiance, and her beaming eyes betrayed ber. Avessana leaned towsrd her as be talked. Interest la his own. What they said was unimportant She told him that she had never been in Italy—no, nor tn Europe, although abe spoke French rather well, really, and she reluctantly admitted that she knew no Italian, It was a beautiful language, she commented, and he replied with a burst of liquid syllables that, tranelated, made Ann stiffen selfconsciously. She told herself, sensibly, that to aay a language was not so beautiful aa ahe was too absurd a statement to notice, bat her careless laugh was a trifle delayed. Avessana did not laugh, but he smiled aubtly, and his eyes remained Intent Under their regard, Ann became at* length, In spits of herself, oneaatly silent Even s half pall of berries topping off four eggs, each, will not #last two healthy young people forever, and ts the last delicious morsel vanished, Avessana, who had not failed to take In Ann's morning freshness, said suddenly.

Avessana leaned nearer, serosa thai table. His manner waa somehow changed; ha was la a subtle fashion, more intimate, and. without taking time for thought, Aon pushed bar chair back. Instinctively. "We most be getting started," she announced. Her companion continued to look at ber; speculation hsd leaped Into his black eyes. "Do not make haste," ha urged. "It ts a pity to lease this— our little boose." Regardless of the tension she asnsod In the dosed room. Ann laughed. "It Isn't much to boast of—our little honse." she commented lightly. "Although It did keep us from the rsina," Avesssna frowned. "Ton will admit, madame, chat I hate been well behaved bora," Remembrance »t his kindness of the day before swept over Ann.

When the battle waa over, the Sanitary commission unit which Ana Joined moved Into the town of Gettysburg, and with great difficulty the girt managed to get a message through to New fork announcing Hendricks* well-being. The result wss as ahe bad feared, s bombardment of telegrams from Mrs. Cortlandt clamoring for ber Immediate return, but as there were not nearly enough nurses st the front, and aa at ta*t she waa whera ahe had for ao lorg wanted to be* Ann Ignored the summons. Sha thought ahe had. In the past two years, learned ail about the misery of the wounded soldier, but ahe had) known nothing like the suffering aba found there. She was put to work In an operating- room; sometimes she mopped the floor, where blood spread Like a crimson bike, and sometimes she forced stimulants between white and ley lips, endeavoring to snatch men back te life when they were already in the grasp of death himself. She worked all day and far Into the nigaV and aha waa so tired that her sensibilities were mercifully dulled. Her feet ached* her back ached, her eyea ached, her very soul ached, as she beheld the courage of her suffering soldiers. Ne\er In all her Life before had Sha been so sure that she was doing* the right thing, and she waa determined to atay until the crisis waa over. Unfortunately, however, Mra. Cortlandt knew a colonel, and she waa not a woman to let privilege He idle; a weak after the battle ended the girl was officially ordered home. The blow was somewhat softened by the fact that the Sanitary commission waa sending trains of wounded to the North a s f a s r as the railroad could handle them, and Ann waa do* tailed aa a nurse in transit, in charge of s car. / She waa ao busy getting ber pa*-. tients on board, hobbling about on aching feet in an endeavor to make them comfortable, that she left Gettysburg without so much aa a final glance down the street on which she hsd msrehed to sdventure. Her patients were all convalescent, and by the time the tram suited they were quite hsppHy eats Wished on their cots, in high anticipation of getting home. As the train awung around the curve, with a great slatting and Jolting of loose link couplings, Ana glanced Idly back at the village, and, for the first time .in days, remembered the romantic Italian wno hsd takes charge of ber In the midst of the battle. In the absorption of her work la the hospital, she hsd entirely forgotten him, but now she wss sorry that sha had not seen him again. Sha felt very grateful to him, now aha came to think about it and aa ahe recalled his gallantries abe smfied con. donlngly. They had gone perhaps fifteen miles on their way, when the door st'tbe forward and of the car opened, and a group of officers, headed by a colonel* csme In. She could hear the colonel's roica above the rattle of the train, aa he explained the government's system tn transporting Its wounded, and the looked up, curiously, to see to whosa ha waa giving this Information.

Cow Testing Increases Butterfat Production fee fti*t eA Wartafiftretdta Srata.)t es OtnutnMitt Clover failure is one of the most serious problems at present confront* lug, tbe farmer in many of the clover sections. With continuous cropping and tike consequent reduction of tbe humus and plant food in tbe soil the difficulty of growing red clover is -greatly Increased. Hits condition must be met and solved, since the loss of red clover or its equivalent from tba rotation leads rapidly to a rundown farm and unprofitable crop yields. N Factors of Failure. . Xme farmer who is contemplating seeding a field to clover in the spring may well look to the suitability of that particular field for the growing of clover before sowing the seed. There are many factors, say the clover men of i h e United States Department of Agriculture, which are responsible for the failure of securing or main* talning a stand of clover, but these factors may be placed in five groups: Soil exhaustion; improper seeding methods, nurse crops, etc.; unfit seed; disease; and improper treatment the first autumn. Clover fails more often, according to the opinion of these men, because soils have become poor in lime, phosphorus, potash, or organic matter than for ail other reasons. If lime is badly needed, there is no use wasting clover seed. If phosphorus is the limiting factor, the addition of lime alone, even if the land is "sour," will have slight effect Manure will do good more often than anything else, but when lime is needed the results from manure will be much greater after this need has been supplied than before. By making the s/*U conditions such as favor the growth of clover failure can nearly always be turned to success. 8ubstltuts Alsiks. Where red clover cannot be grown without the addition of lime or other soil amendments and where the application of these is for any reason impracticable alsike clover should first be substituted for red clover, or it may be possible to grow mammoth' clever for soil improvement after common red clover will not longer thrive, and by turning under the mammoth clover the soil may be restored to a condition in which it* will produce a stand of red clover. Substantial Returns Shown by Five Years' Record. (Prepared by the United States Department of AftTicolture.) That cow testing psys substantia] returns is shown conclusively by records for five years compiled by die United States Department of Agriculture. In three well-managed associa dons in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsyl Cow Tester st Work. vanla the average butterfat production per cow has increased noticeably every year. The first year the average production of butterfat was 237 pounds; second year, 255 pounds; third year, 278; fourth year, 292; and firth, 805 pounds. At the efcd of this period the average cow in these herds was yielding 68 more pounds of fat than the average at the beginning of the testing. 'At 40 cents a pound this in crease of fat would have a value of 127.20 per cow, and a herd of 20 cows would bring in $544 more than at the beginning. Cows Need Minerals for Best Production of Milk That the average ration fed dairy cows is deficient in mineral matter, especially lime and phosphorus, is shown in recent feeding tests at the Ohio experiment station. To overcome this it is well to feed all the leguminous matter—clover, alfalfa or soy-bean hay that the cow will eat. Or the addition of one pound of finely ground- limestone and two pounds of bonemeal to every 100 pounds of grain fed Is another method of supplying the needed minerals. The limestone carries much calcium, and the bonemeak Is composed of both calcium and phosphorus. Wheat bran in the grain mixture will also supply mineral matter. A high producer always gives off more calcium in her milk than she can receive dally In her feed. For this reason It is well to feed tbe cow liberally of feeds rich In minerals while she is dry, so that she may store a surplus in her body to meet the demands of milk production after freshening. Practical Experiments With Glass Nest Eggs Some interesting experiments at the Iowa State college proved that hens like to lay in a nest where there is a nest egg. China or glass eggs helped some, but were not so attractive to tba hens aa ordinary hens' eggs were, On the other hand, wooden and plaster of paris "eggs were found better even than baas* eggs. . The experiment was worked out by putting a flock of 40 pullets in s large pan with i s aejte, and putting one of each kind of neat egg in each of font nests, shifting these around from day to day and keeping a record of tba ntrmber of eggs laid hi each nest It waa earned over a long period of time. Sweet Clover Is Useful Crop for Plowing Under Another clover which has been proved good and useful Is the white blossom, biennial sweet clover. The seed crop of this clover comes on quite early, and probably ample supplies have been already harvested to take care of the spring demand. Sweet 'clover is being used in pasture mixtures, to some extent, but its greatest use is for plowing under for fertilizer. It also is a surer seed crop than other clovers, and because of Its usefulness It is replacing on many farms, other clovers which have heretofore been grown for plowing down, In most every neighborhood there are more or less supplies of seed of all of these clovers, and it behooves buyers to keep track of hulling and engage local supplies whenever it is possible. There is another decided advantage about this home-grown seed. One Is able to pick seed grown on clean fields, where buckhom, dodder or field daisies have not been introduced. This is an Important matter, for as our fields grow older, mean weeds are apt to creep in menacing the value of all seed or hay or pasture ground.

Feeding to Make Meat Is Made Subject of Study Experts of the United States Department of Agriculture have been studying the amount of food required to make a pound of meat. Their Investigations so far have indicated that it takes six pounds of grain and six pounds of hay to produce one pound of lamb live weight Ten pounds of hay and ten pounds of corn will make one pound of beef, while five and sixtenths pounds of corn will make one pound of pork.

Of writings about Lincoln there Is no end, the world over. The genealogist Is delving Into his ancestry. The moralist and the psychologist are searching into his innermost motives and mental processes. Nothing that may possibly reveal any phase of his life and work Is accounted trivial. No material memorial can honor Lincoln. So far as the skill of human hands translated tnto terms of permanent beauty can do him honor, the last word has been reached in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Possibly one other memorial, now well advanced, may surpass even that—the Lincoln highway across the continent. In the meantime, scores of wayside shrines are going up. They mark the spots baHewed by i*lncotn*s presence, A tall marker of concrete with Lincoln's face In bronse bas-relief, for example, was erected last summer at Carlock, hi, with elaborate exercises. It is one of a series being erected on the Illinois -Eighth Judicial circuit" to mark the route traveled by Lincoln the lawyer In his antebellum practice. The Eighth Illinois Judicial circuit Included fifteen counties in the center of the stale in 1845 and has since been divided Into mora. There were no railroads until about 1854. Between 1845 and 1854 Lincoln gave almost his entire time to his profession and was a leading lawye* of Illinois. Illinois has fittingly used the portrait of Lincoln upon the* warrants In payment of the state World war bonus.

The portrait of Lincoln reproduced herewith Is called the "artists' choice," having been selected by them as the most artistic photograph as well as one of the truest likenesses. The tablet on which two "Fighting Daughters" are placing a wreath was erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution at Council Bluffs, la. At the top Is this sentiment, "Whose crown was love, whose throne was gentleness." The tablet recites: "This monument Is to commemorate the visit of Abraham Lincoln to Council Bluffs August 19, 1868. Vrom this point he viewed the extensive panorama of the valley of the Missouri river and In compliance with the law of congress on November 17, 1868, he selected this city as the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific railroad." This tablet ha*s a significance beyond Aat of the occasion it commemorates : "This Is the spot farthest went in the United States that the foot of Lincoln trod." So. when the Woman's Relief corps of the G. A. ft in Denver wished to pay Its homage last fall It fastened a bronie tablet containing the Gettysburg address- to one of the columns yot #thc Colorado statehouse, by special permission of fthe legislature. Lincoln's foot had never pressed the soil of the Centennial state, admitted to the Union more than a decade after his death. Lincoln, the "Savior of Hts Country," never saw more than a half of the country he saved. One would give much to know his thoughts on that August day of 1858 la Council Bluffs as he surveyed the western half of that "extensive panorama." For he stood upon the western edge of the western fringe of states. In August of 1858 there were hut thirty stars on the Flag, and Minnesota's statehood was only three months old. In all the vast expanse' between the Missouri and the Pacific there were but two states, California and Texasi with Oregon to be admitted the following February. In the Immediate for*- ground were the territory of Minnesota, the territory of Nebraska, the territory of Kansas, Indian territory. West of these were the territories of Washington, Utah and New Mexico. Did Lincoln, In hts mind's eye, foresee even a part of what this vast aggregation of territories was to become In the next halfVceotury? Never doubt ft, for his was the vision of the seer. No doebt then wan wiaajed thoughts In that mighty brain, for that Angust day of M B t u set m parlous rimes woes history was snaking fast In M54 the fUnsoa-Hebreeka bfll bad bee* Bssaal bringing la its wake the «rr8 war hi Kansas and the Republican pony. That year 1SGB woo the ter of the capital city, which in turn Is to become the real heart of Illinois. The proposed plans call for the clearing of eight blocks. In the cleared space would be erected the new city hall, a courthouse, a public library, and an open-air theater or forum. Beside the Lincoln home would be built a pool two city blocks in length and so landscaped that It would be an oasis of beauty and qulef In the midst of the city. Thousands would then be able to pause and rest near the humble white cottage from whose doorway Abraham Lincoln went forth to the nation's White House. Other elements of the plan call for driveways connecting the state capltol with Lincoln's tomb and a boulevard leading to Old Salem park, the reconstructed village, now state property, where Lincoln lived before going to Springfield to Visitors to Lincoln's tomb are increasing In number tremendously year by year. Lincoln lovers believe this tells a graphic story of his growth in public estimation. Visitors increased from 30.000 in 1021 to about 00,000 in 1922, An even greater Indication of the increasing stature of Lincoln here in his own country Is to be found In the additions to the Lincoln collections. [Two years ago there were about 280 Items In the collection of relics and mementoes at the tomb. Today there are upward of 90,000, and the number Is growing dally as articles come in from all parts of the country. A similar thine Is occurring at Lincoln's home and at the state historical library, where then Is a collection of Lincoln books, documents and pictures said to be the most complete in the world. A university for everybody, rich and poor, open day and Bight, seven days a week—this is the Ideal before the incorporators of the Abraham Lincoln university now being founded by the citizens of Lincoln's home town. Every point In Springfield, tn anyway associated with the life of Abraham Lincoln, was made the subject of a special school lecture and Inspection trip last winter. The plan Included both the public and the parochial schools. The Itinerary included Lincoln's tomb, his first law office, the spot where he wan Informed of his first election ss president, the place where his "united we stand, divided we fall," speech was written, and more than a score of spots associated with intimate events of his life.

CLARK Washington.—Leaders In the campaign for the renomlnatioo of President Coolidge have heard with other Republicans leas prominent that the President already has the nomination of his party In hand, but the chiefs ot the Coolidge movement refuse to take anything for granted. They know that any day a turn may come and it Is not wise to sleep on a job. The managers of the campaigns of other candidates far the nomination. Republican and Democratic, are Just as busy as the political fortune promoters of the President. The McAdoo and the Underwood forces have opened offices In Washington which are In charge of old-time politicians and oldtime publicity men. They are at work. Some of the Republican politicians here are beginning to wonder if they have been deceived by what seemed to be signs that Senator Johnson's cause wus weakening. William M. Butler of Massachusetts is the chief Coolidge promoter. He knows. It Is suid. that It Is unwise to take stock iu stories of the weakening of any candidate's position before the people. He knows that later he must meet the fact that the Culifornlan's personal campaign In the West will arouse enthusiasm and start ull of Johnson's friends on the path of hard work. Bonus Issue Important. A change seems to have come over the belief of some of the Republican leaders that the bonus advocates throughout the country would not be able to make a dent In the Coolidge shield. None of those Republican leaders here who are friendly to the Coolidge cause seemed to have a thought some weeks ago that the American Legion and other veteran bodies actually would enter luto the field of political opposition to the President, even If he, In almost bitingly short words, did declare against adjusted compensation. Several United States senators who In any case probably wdnld have no fear of defeat because of a position taken on the bonus have said that their belief la that taxes can be reduced and the bonus paid at the same time without Jeopardising the financial Interests of the country. One of these senators Is George P. McLean of Connecticut. The value to the veterans of "the McLean support Is that he, while not an especially conspicuous member of the upper house, is regarded as one who te hard-headed about things and unlikely to be moved by any considerations except those of ecnvlctlons established by a study of the situation. If the veterans do go Into politics and attempt to Influence tne voters in behalf of candidates who are favorable to the bonus, the politicians believe they can do damage to the men whose forces they engage In the field. The American Legion has the machinery for any kind of a campaign that It chooses to make, whether it be for money to care for the disabled, or for votes to use against men marked for opposition. It is exaggerating nothing when it is said that the Republican politicians are In no wise Indifferent to what may happen If the Legionnaires and the other veterans should make an actual drive in behalf of Johnson, or some one else, as against the President. Mew England All for Coolidoe. President Coolidge, It Is said, has one advantage, even if the veterans determine to oppose his nomination and to bring tbelr machine guns to bear In the operation, Massachusetts and New England generally are strong for the bonus, bat they also are strong for Coolidge. A close friend of the President who also Is a Massachusetts roan has told the writer that such is the local, political affection for the President In New England that by no act even a bonus veto, can be lose the delegation of a single New England state. Elsewhere In the country, however, tt Is different and It now seems from what one can learn In the rank* of the Johnson supporters that the Callfornlan, who Is s gcod* politician, banked long ago on the veterans' nipport for one of the chief props of his campaign for the nomination. Senator Johnson has begun his personal campaign in the Middle West and the West. Every word which has come to Washington from state* which supposedly at the outset were markedly favorable to the Johnson cause has been to the effect that the Callforntan has been losing ground How much off the report is true and bow moch of It Is false, or st any rate based upon a misunderstanding of situations, the politicians do not know, hot would like much to know. They betiefte they will have to wait until Johnson personally has finished his appeals to the at least once friendly ones before they can determine whether the spparent recension from his standard is "la fact a fact." Neither William 1L Butler, nor James B. 'Reynold*, nor any other meenber of the ISMnediste Ooolktsje phalanx is allowing himself today to take It for granted that the prevent rffflT*1!" for the RepobUeoa nowlao. Hon hi s one asan race, •no* l i t e * * * I coaunittos of the aao> Ota which Is lsojadrlag hare oho originally for any such specific purpose. It was brought into being by the presumed desire of the senate to learn something about the nature of alleged propaganda seeking to influence action by cuugress, or to affect the foreign or domestic policies of the United State*. The committee of five senators of the United States, Moses of New Hampshire, Greene of Vermont, Reed of Missouri, Caraway of Arkansas and Shlpatead of Minnesota, nas asked Edward W. Bok of Philadelphia why he had the temerity to offer a prise for a plan which, if put Into action, might bring peace into the world. The resolution Is that of Senator Read of Missouri whose original intention, it is said, simply was to force an Investigation of alleged activities on the part of reductionists to secure the adoption of the Mellon tax plan and the defeat of the bonus. It Is more than hinted in Washington that the Missouri senator could get sanction from the majority 'eaders for his resolution only by Including In it a proposal to investigate such alleged propaganda efforts as those which some of the senators seemed to find in the Bok peace plan. It seems to be pretty well assured that the attempt of the so-called lrreconcllables In the senate, for It is their influence which Is seen In the wording of the resolution. Is to offset if they can any growth of sentiment which there may be in the country In behalf of the World lourt and of American participation In financial conferences abroad Intended to stabilize business. So, In a way, the effort, it Is said, will be to disclose things which, in a way. may discredit a plan of the administration. Seems to Have Failed of Its Purpose. The examination of M.\ Bok and of persons associated with him In the formulation of the plan to offer a prize for a peace program of worth brought out some Interesting fucts, but generally speaking it does not seem to be believed in Washington that any direct connection has been shown between Mr. Bok's activities in this matter and t those of such organizations as that nonpartisan body which is attempting, under the guidance cf former Associate Justice John H. Clarke, to create sentiment In behalf of the League of Nations. Some men who have followed the Bok endeavor from its inception say no one would know better than the Philadelphia the damage which would He in coupling up his plan in any way with league propaganda. It Is urged Mr. Bok would know that if he were to offer a prlKe as a direct help to the league propagandists, the result Inevitably would be suspicion and Just such an investigation as that which is In progress In the senate. The committee of five senators Is composed of four anti-leaguers, while the fifth member, Mr. Caraway of Arkansas, Is not a xealot In behalf of either the league or the peace plan, although he la not bigoiedly opposed to either. The Bok peace plan. It Is charged here, went before a prejudiced court, but there are those who say that Mr. Bok has cleared his plan from any possible original connection with League of Nations propaganda, and that the committee In honesty must so declare. Others hold that the committee will find that the facts will Justify their Investigatloc Triumph of the Shenandoah. It seems to be assured that the fine showing which the llghter-than-alr navy dirigible Shenandoah made when it broke loose In a seventy-mile gale recently will assure Its entry Into the dash for the pole next year. It Is urged in navy circles that an airship which can stand the terrific buffeting which the Shenandoah received from the elements and which can turn about in the face of what virtually was a whirlwind and make its way back to its port on the ground, can undergo all the troubles which are likely to come to it from wind and atmospheric conditions in the polar regions and can complete successfully the Journey which has been marked out for It The Shenandoah was charged with helium gas .which Is non-explosive. It was only recently that the seal of approval was put on this kind of gas by the scientists and the experimenters. Heretofore the dirigibles have been charged with explosive gas and the result has been st tiroes that disaster hss overtaken them because of ! this fact. While' the Nsvy department is enthusiastic and cheerful over the conduct of the ship tn the terrific wind by which It was forced miles from Its base before It could turn Its nose Into the gale, it Is Just ss enthusiastic, perhaps, although enthusiasm modestly Is hidden, over the conduct of the crew of the Shenandoah who kept their courage and did their work of self and ship salvation with aa moch unconcern ts If they were working under a dead calm and under a bright sunshine on the ground outside of too door of the hangar.

Ana cane into Chicago armed wtth t brave determination to make the best ef things, but she expected the wont, for Peter's panegyrics had not really shaken her belief that the United States had but one city, which. In daring all for love, she had left behind her. No pioneer wife adventuring i n t o the prairie wilderness was more Sternly courageous. The bride and groom spent the last "night ef their journey in Detroit, and arrived in Chicago at sunset of a clear September afternoon. They had been running through rusty woods where pale cream-colored sandhills thrust their stark crests through brownish undergrowth; it was, Ann thought, too strange to be beautiful, and yet she looked out of her window eagerly. Suddenly the train burst from enveloping trees, and ran along the shore of Lake Michigan. It lay on the right-hand side of the railroad, vast and blue and unfathomable; Its waters stretched to the farthest horizon, yet lapped the low embankment where the tracks were laid. In no time at all. Peter was urging Ann to look at the other side, where scattered buildings testified to the beginnings of the town, and presently the train roared on to a trestle, while she looked, and gasped. To her rlpht was the lake, already familiar to her; - t o - her left there -lay -another sheet of water, a little lagoon, which stretched from the high embankment over which the railroad ran, to a distant street. On the street beyond, dignified,- houses with fronts of yellowish linfestone stood singly, surrounded by trees. Ail day long the sky had been poignantly blue, with great clouds like continents adventuring over Its trackless expanse, but at sundown this pell acid quality was clouded by an Impalpable dust. The sun set royally, In banks of fire-edged cloud; the whole west was flushed to orange and rose. T.hs car was filled with colored light, j$at turned ail white things pink— Ann's handkerchief and Peter's formidable, conarfwfth high points which dug Into his cheeks. '/,".' ' • "SeeP* Ann cried involuntarily, I t is high tide" •' They laughed together over her mis- .;(' take, and pointed out to each other :y' sails on the blue expanse. As they watched, the clouds on the eastern horizon took on an enchanting rosecolored reflection, and the tops of the amiable waves mirrored it, although their depth* remained deeply blue. H "But it is very elegant, Peter," Ann •aid in a low voice. She had not expected to find anything so metropolitan sy hi the new d t y ~ef but one hundred V- fifty thousand Inhabitants. • l i n t It?" He was frankly triumphant. "Perhaps we'll live there some — day. Just be patient, Ann. I'll work. You've never seen anything like the I way m work.* "We'll wort together," Ann declared stoutly. Indeed, she wanted no bettar fate. ^ There was time before snpper for a y< brief survey of the environs of the hotel, so Ann and Peter left their bags aid walked aimlessly about in the rka. light, over echoing wooden side* waffcat tad T » and down innumerable litfltf «ght* of steps bom to accomssedate the uneven grades of the They *peat 4eto-a small- park </.. -Sjoross from their hotel, and found a bench with s good view of the late afternoon driving which animated Kft^g**1 avenue.

"Do harry." she said impatiently. •What for?" "Why, Peter. I haven't seen your shop yet !** Peter's happy face clouded. "There's time enough for that," he said. "You had better let me get it fixed up before yon come." All Ann's morning radiance fled. "Fixed upf' abe echoed. "Aren't we partners?" - Pater smiled at her tragic tone, and patted ber hand surreptitiously. "Of course we are," he murmured consolingly. "I'll make the money and you can spend IL That's a partnership, isn't u r At this the bride's eyes filled with foolish tears, and Peter looked at her In cbopfallen alarm. "If you feel like that," he said hastily, "of course we'll go. We'll go right now." •Tin—I'm silly, 1 know." Ann sat blinking rapidly to get rid of her tears, fearful of fellow-breakfasters' Interest in them. She smiled, mistily. She had won her point, but, although she said nothing further, a slight feeling of soreness remained. When they arrived at the shop, however, she understood Peter's reluctance, for they had left the genteel neighborhood long before they came to It. The streets In that quarter were in bad condition; Annss new boots, and even the white stockings above them, were well plastered with mud, while on the corner was an abandoned wagon with the sign "No bottom here" humorously hung from Its half submerged body. "Peter—how shocking! 1 think It is very shiftless not to put down pavements." "Can't do everything all at once," her husband responded cheerfully, as he eased his key into a rusty lock. Ann was secretly aghast at the mean appearance of Peter's heralded place of business. Inside, three yenrs' accumulation of dnst lay on the small ^orge and the workbench, and cobwebs draped the dirty windows. Peter showed his wife a rough little model which stood on the table. "Know what that Is?" She shook her head; somehow she found It impossible to speak. "It's an Improvement on the reaper machine. I held off enlisting for two months to finish it. When I had It done I carried. It over to Cyrus McCormlck," Peter laughed grimly. "He told me they'd already perfected that idea, and he took me out into the works and showed it to me In the making." "Hew outrageous! Couldn't you sue him, or something?" Peter laughed Indulgently. In a bride this Ignorance was charming. He Kissed Ann Delightedly Amid the Confusion ef His Little Shop. and be kissed Ann delightedly, amid the confusion of his little shop. It quickly became evident that Peter's small capital could not long stand the strain of hotel life, and he suggested that possibly they would better board for a while "It would give us time to look around," he said hopefully. Ann was, however, horrifled at the idea. "I should hate boarding," she said. "Nothing tp do til day, and really, Peter, It isn't very genteel." After some search, they rented a small frame cottage near tbe most desirable marble front district on the west side of the city. Settling proved pare joy. Peter was a miracle of efficient energy. He painted woodwork and floors with a speed which so fascinated Ann that she could only stand and' watch him. Three meals a day were the only drawbacks to all this exciting happiness. Ann found that ahe was very stupid shoot things like keeping up the.kitchen Are, and remembering to pat potatoes on to boil; she could not seam to consider them Important sad yet Peter evidently did. At first he did nwet of the serious cooking himself, while his wife looked on, and offered him knives and spoons at the wrong moment. It was all delightfully amusing, but she had a nervous sua* pldon that later something more exacting; would be demanded of bar. They spent one glorious afternoon la tbe shops, selecting the simple necessaries for their housekeeping. They chose a white china sot with a hair line of gold on tbe edge, and they priced rosewood parlor suites ex* hanstlvely, before they gave op tbe Idea of one as hopelessly beyond their means. The* bought a square of flowered carpet •4 4. to layover tbe brown doth, n waJnnt whatnot on whi any, and they really plunged on * b*n*rrv'« Irukassi not Ann and secretly hoped for a piano, but as Peter had apparently never considered such an extravagance, ahe said nothing about i t The mysteries of economical housekeeping staggered her; she seemed to have learned nothing during the years in which she had charge of ber guardian's bonse, and she wondered at the smugness with which she bad assumed that telling an efficient cook what they would eat three times a day was all there was to i t When tbe cottage was Anally equipped, and Ann bad demonstrated that she was the equal of any coal stove, the two young people faced the solemn fact that their honeymoon was ended. That night before Peter went back to bis shop they bad a final celebration. It waB late when they came out of the theater. A mist almost heavy enough to be called a rain had drifted into the town from the swampy prairies to the west, and Ann delayed to turn up her silken skirts. In spite of the fact that Peter impatiently pressed her to make haste lest they miss the car. He hurried her off, ominously silent while she chattered of the play, and when they rounded tbe corner tbe street-car bad Indeed started. It was perhaps a block away from them, and the homeward-bound horses were making good time through the empty streets. Peter run savagely after It, and might have overtaken It, had not Ann proved unequal to the >ace. He ran on for a few yards ' after she dropped behind, and then I °handoned the chase. He stood wait- 1 Ing for her to overtake him. "D—n !*' he said loudly. "You've made me miss the car." Ann looked at him openmouthed. He spoke as though no tie of affection bound tlietn. as though he could hate her, his wife. "Always lute, women." he scolded. "There won't be another car for an -hour, this time of night." "Could I know that?" Ann demanded, plucking up some of her spirit, and facing him defiantly. "Why couldn't you hurry? Here I have to go to work early tomorrow morning. . . . Where you going?" "I shall walk." Her voice was infinitely frigid. "You'll do nothing of the sort. This mist—It's going to rain. . . . Annie! Stop, I tell you!" "Take your hand off me!" She shook Peter off, and stalked away from him ; she walked on rapidly, alone In the dark streets, thinking bitterly that it was for this she had left her guardian. Subconsciously ghe listened for Peter's footsteps, but she heard no sound, and concluded that he had let her go without him. In a few moments there came a great rattling, and a clatter of a horse coming toward her over the rough pavement* A carriage swung furiously to the curb, and she swerved'nervously away as a man burst from Its dark interior, but at once she knew it was Peter. He seized her roughly, and drew her, unresisting, into the musty privacy of the hack. He kissed her wet face tempestuously. "Annie! Don't cry. I've got such a devil of a temper! I'm sorry. Don't sob like thatl I never know what I say when I'm angry! It was all my fault. Annie, kiss me!" She kissed him, her frozen anger melted by the lire of his contrition, and in reconciliation she found a new stimulation to love. . . . It was late when she went to sleep. . . . Long after Peter was deep In slumber, she lay, very still and wide-eyed in the dark, thinking things over. She bore no rancor; her forgiveness was complete, but she recognized something in her life, with which she must reckon. . . . Peter's temper. . . . Presently she slipped one finger into the loose circle of her sleeping husband4! hand, and yet the tonch did not entirely reassure her. In the morning Peter was all sunny good humor. He went off to work reluctantly, and yet she knew that he was eager to start again. For the first few weeks Ann was completely absorbed In her housework. In a month she had learned to have the essentials of s simple meal all ready at the same time, but she never became more than a fair cook. She worked all day, Just aa Peter did, but often ahe walked to the shop with him in the morning, and came home laden with packages from the cheaper stores off Halsted street It was n o t It Is true, whst she had Imagined her life with Peter would be, on the c o r n - ing they had discussed It in Washing* ton square, b u f after two months of marriage Ann felt' infinitely removed from the girl she had been. She was all wife; her life hung on Peter. Tbe two laughed at each other like children; they played foolish games together, and called each other ridiculous names. la due time Ann's trunk arrived. Her things were just as abe had left them, but there waa not a word from the Cortlandts. Peter came in for dinner, to find her brooding, and his meal was not ready. He said unkind things of the Cortlandts, while she fried his chops. About her the war roared on, and now Interest centered in the Army of the Tennessee, for the western newspapers printed little of the exploits of the Army of the Potomac Often Peter took her to Union msss meet* lugs. They stood swaying back aad forth with the crowd In the Court* House square on tbe night that George Root's "Battle Cry of Freedom" was sunc for tbe first time.

"How could you so misbehave your self, Ann, when my uncle had even made your wedding settlements, and that good young count so adored you? My mother says blood will tell, and 1 suppose she is right, but I hope yon are happy, even with Peter. "With love, "FANNY." Until she knew her guardian bad returned and had made no effort to communicate with her, Ann was not aware of how confidently she had counted on his doing so. Even the fact that Mr. Cortlandt's silence shut her off with her husband, was an Inadequate consolation. She could not rouse herself to any Interest in Fanny's mar* rlage, although she was Indignant at her slighting reference to Peter. "They still do not think you are good enough for me." she told him. "It's laughable." Things had been going better with Peter of late. Ann was enormously proud of him, every day that passed , burled deeper that remote time when she had been his superior. He took Fanny's letter and slowly read It. "It's natural enough. I suppose," he said, "but things will go hard with me If I don't make more of a success of ray life than your Captain Renneslyer does of his." He planced over the note again, briefly. Then he said, "That velvet dress, An- ( nie, why don't you send It back to her for a wedding present?" It was only the next day she looked out of her front window to see a station hack come laboring down the street. Ann was sorry for the laboring horses, but her Interest was Impersonal until, unexpectedly, they stopped before her gate, and a sudden premonition turned her white. A hand on the door handle Inside the lowered glass had a familiar look, and she could see the sharp lines of a silK' hat In the dusk of the Interior. She rushed to the front door and flung it wide, and there was her guardian fn her open gate. He paused at the bottom of the short flight of steps, looking up at her, too agitated to move. The sun was In his eyes; Ann's red hair was like a nimbus about the pearl white of her face. In the Instant that they stood gazing at each other, their old companionship was re-established without a word. She aroused herself and ran down to him; she flung herarms around him and kissed him; she found that she was ID tears, but it made no difference. Mr. Cortlandt said, "My dear, to see you again!" She thought how old he looked, and broken. She tried to help him up her steep steps, and once Inside the house she told him how sorry she was that she should have disappointed him. Mr. Cortlandt brushed all this away with a brusque gesture. "Never mind that, Ann," he said. "Are you happy? That Is what I came to Chicago to find out." Ann clung tightly to his hand. "Now that I have you again, I am," she assured him, "I can't tell yon about Peter; you will have to see for yourself. He Is just right for me. uncle. Those others—somehow they were all wrong." "You are In love with him, thenT Ann's wide eyes laughed. "Yes," she said, "I should say I am. I am awfully in love with him. Of course I know he Is only a workman, but there are plenty of men out here, uncle, who* began like that and now they are getting on their feet* 'Ton can bring him back to New York, Ann. t dont believe I can live without yon, and I can easily get him something to do." The radiant joy was swept from Ann's face. "It's dreadful not to ga to you when you want me," she said soberly, "but Peter would never consent uncle. He has his own life out here, and it is my life too. You must understand about Peter. He loves his work more than anything in the world, except me. Sometimes I am afraid bo loves It more than me, even, but I am proud of him for It uncle. Even to be near yon. I wouldn't have him leave i f The look of discouragement and fatigue cleared from air.

Although types of tanning in the United States axe more or less fixed by necessary adaptation to condition* of soil, climate, ana markets, tnej are always undergoing minor changes, and the last few years with the uprecedented disturbances in commodity prices and in production and transportation costs, have brought about an unusual number of readjustments. The United States Department of Agriculture has obtained reports on crop changes in many states, which give some idea of the shake-up in agriculture. Eastern farmers, with a high freight rate differential in their favor, are considering whether they cannot produce some of the teed which ihey now buy. In the South the Inroads of the boll weevil have compelled some farmers to turn from specialization in cotton to other crops. Flax has* been successfully substituted for wheat In a small portion of the spring wheat region. For many farmers flax is a highly attractive crop as a substitute for part of their wheat. This was demonstrated by the cash returns from the 1922 crops, which were high for flax and low for wheat. As a result, flax acreage this year was increased to 2,300,000 acres from 1,300,000 acres in 1922. The present flax acreage is the largest since 1913. Yet home production will probably not supply half the home demand. We have imported flax every year since 1909. Under the present tariff of 40 cents a bushel, it is likely flax acreage will increase still more. There has been a big Increase in the number of sheep In the United States In the last two years, under the stimulus of tariff protection and an active demand for wool. Two-thirds of our sheep are raised on the range and onethird on the farms. Many farmers who already have sheep can DO doubt Increase their flocks with profit, say live stock experts in the Department of Agriculture. Others. It is said, could profitably add sheep to the live stock enterprises. Sheep Rasing Profitable. In the last year the farm price of sheep has risen from $4.80 to $7.50 a head ; the farm price of wool iias increased from an average of 29 cents a pound in 1922 to 38 cents. These advances have been a boon to many farmers whose major crops have not brought good prices. Further expansion of the sheep industry probably would be profitable. Farmers in the semi-arid regions, especially in western North Dakota and eastern Montana, are finding that It pays them to grow corn on land which they have been accustomed to summer-fallow. With only a small additional amount of labor required for planting and cultivating, they are growing a feed.crop which helps them to broaden their live stock production. Experts of the Department of Agriculture say that farmers in these areas who have enough live stock should plant as much corn as they can conveniently handle. If the present price of corn continues, It is believed it will be profitable to Increase the corn acreage In most of the corn belt. In 1922 the spread in Ohio between the value of an acre of corn-and that of an acre of wheat was wider than In any year since 1913. An acre of corn in Ohio this year promises to be worth nearlv twice as much as an acre of wheat or oats. In Chester county, Pa., the average value of an acre of corn giving the norma! yield of 65 bushels at 70 cents a bushel would be $45, white the value of an acre of wheat yielding 25 bushels at 85 cents would be only $21. While this relation exists fanners naturally have a strong motive to reduce their wheat acreage and keep their com acreage up to the highest point consistent with a balanced labor program and the maintenance of soil fertility. Wheat acreage has been cut down throughout the country since 1919 except In parts ef the Northwest states, which are practically a onecrop area. The location and slse of farms in this one-crop territory often prevent anv fundamental change In the type of farming. Yet farmers are introducing milk cows on their farms, or increasing the number already owned. Some have been successful with hogs sad poultrv. A combination of wheat corn and live stock has been tried on some farms with good results. Farming conditions are more hasardous In the Montana triangle than tn any other part of the spring-wheat area.. Many of the "dry" farms tn the territory have been abandoned. Some of the farmers who have stayed are trying mixed farming. Government ^experts believe there are prospects of cress In som* localities.

AGLEAMYMASS OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR 85-Cont "Dandsrine" So Improves Life* lass, Neglected Hair. An abundance of luxuriant hair to prevent a repetition of losses suffered in the last few years from lack of a readily accessible market. Probably the Yakima valley produces larger yields of potatoes of the highest grade than any other s*rea in the country. The Yakima reclamation projects In 1922 produced an average of 260 bushels an acre on the 8,442 acres harvested. Yet the growers lost money, and a large part of the crop had to be dumped back on the fields. To reduce such losses in the future, new plans for marketing the choicest grade of potatoes are under consideration. It is proposed to grade and sort the potatoes, wrap each one in paper, and pack them in small boxes for shipment by the Panama canal to Eastern markets. Potatoes thus packed, it is figured, could be laid down in New York at a cost of transportation of $1.25 a hundred pounds, and would command premium prices. High rail rates have shut out Yakima potatoes from some formerly profitable markets, and a way to overcome this handicap Is urgently required. Dairy Cows Require Warm Water in Winter Proper Supply Should Receive Attention. • * • 7 anight increase chair It art still laws' a * tecs! ntoht ef Che Prehebiy e*l*y*Jg'at''e» fa* **•** * (Prepared by the United State, Department of Agriculture.) All animals require plenty of good, pure water. This is especially true of the milking cow, as water constitutes more than three-fourths of the total volume of milk. The water supply, therefore, demands the dairyman's most careful attention. Stale or Impure water is distasteful to the cow, and she will not drink enough for maximum milk production. Such water may also carry disease germs which might make the milk unsafe for human consumption or be daugerous to the cow herself. During the winter, says the United States Department of Agriculture, when cows are stabled the greater part of the time, they should be watered two or three times a day unless arrangements have been made to keep water before them at all times. The water should, if possible be 15 degrees to 20 degrees above the freezing point, and should be supplies at practically the same temperature every day. When water well above freezing temperature is stored in tanks and piped directly to the ^ow, there is probably little occasion for facilities to warm it When it stands in a tank in which ice often forms, it 1B usually well to warm It slightly. This can be done by a tank heater, by live steam, or by hot water from a boiler. If a boiler is used for running a separator or for heating water to wash and sterilize utensils, steam from it can readily and cheaply be used to warm the water. Selecting Evergreens for Farm Windbreaks "Farmers are often puzzled to know what variety of evergreen will be most suitable as a windbreak," says K. J. Bra den, representative of the office of blister-rust control. United States Department of Agriculture university farm. "The nursery catalogues list many kinds which are suitable, but not all of which will do well on every soil. Clay or clay loam soil will readily support spruce or white pine, which are good on account of retaining their lower branches in spite of shading. White pine will grow faster than spruce. The variety known as Black Hills spruce Is botanically the same as white spruce. "On sandy loam or sand soil It is better not to attempt to grow spruce. White pine may do weti, but Scotch pine will probably be better. On a light soil Scotch pine win grow faster than any other evergreen, sad has a dense and heavy foliage when young. Jack pine, sometimes called Bank's pine, is of scanty growth and compsratively valueless. Norway pine ia good, bnt rather expensive, on account of the high cost of collecting its seed. Evergreens die when their rootlets are exposed to the sua for even s few moments. They thrive only when pleated In cultivated soli, since grass robe them of moisture.** Allow Plenty of Room for Convenient Cellar A convenient cellar for average farm conditions is one of four cars' capacity.

Hall's Catarrh Medicine 2*2v: fag yew system of Catena of Deafness earned by jsatef ft J. CHENEY Sfc C O * Toledo, Ohio By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — A representative In congress, after looking at the pile of mail on his desk the other morning, «ald : "If there Is any taxpayer In the Cnlted States who has not written In behalf of u reduction of taxes, I would like to know his name. He deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor." Secretary Mellon's tax reduction plan c.tnnot become a party Issue unless one or the other of the two great political organizations forces It to take on Issue form. There are Democrats and Republicans who take exception to some of the suggestions made In Mr. Mellon's proposal, but they take no exception at all to the suggestion that taxes shall be cut. In congress, however, while the thing is not strongly a party issue, there Is a row on over the subject. The secretary of the treasury said specifically In a communication written some time ago that the country could not pay a bonus and at the same time reduce taxes. In a second communication Mr. Mellon outlined his plan for tax reduction and said in effect that if it were Incorporated Into a law, the wage earners of the country, which of course includes salaried men, would have their Income taxes cut 44 per cent. Inasmuch as the men who for services rendered get pay checks once a week, or once a month, are numbered by the millions, it readfly can be understood how Joyfully this message of Secretary Mellon's was received throughout the land. If the letters and the telegrams received at the White House, at the Treasury department, and ut the capitol form a basis of Judgment, It can be satd that the salaried people are unanimous in behalf of the Mellon plan. 8om« Say Both Are Possible, Now there are a lot of things standing in the way of the success of the Mellon plan In congress. Just at this writing the adjusted compensation bill and the tax reduction bill are struggling for precedence. There are senators and representatives who say that the honus can be granted and tax reduction secured along with It, but there are others who say that the thing "can't be did." However, congress apparently Is going to try to do the two things. Once ngnin a sales tax has been proposed as a means of taking care of the payment to the veterans In case the house and senate shall pass the measure over the presidential veto. Senator Smonj of Utah is one of the chief champions of the sales tax. If such a tax shall he authorised It Is Said that It will add about one-elg^th of one per cent to the cost of ordinary purchases In the ctores, "a tax so small that nobody will feel It." The opponents of the sales tnx. however, say thsit while one-eighth of one per cent nvans nothing to a man or woman when a small purchase la made, It wIM mean a lot to them when they come to add up the amounts of their purchases at the end of a year. In other words, the opponents of the sales tax say It Is a sort of camouflage tax and that It will get In its work Just the same even if during the days of passing purchases It is not noticed. Veto by Coolldge Is Certain. There U no evidence that the President intends In any way to recede from the position which he has taken on the bonus and which he outlined In his speech to congress. Therefore, It Is Just as certain today that a veto will come as It was on another day, and It also Is Just as certain that congress will pass a bonus bill and give the President a chance to enter his forbidding objection. It still Is unsafe to prophesy definitely whet will happen in the senate when the bonus measure comes back to It from the White House with the disapproval mark on It. Senator Smoot the other day said there were enough votes In the senate to pass the measure over the presidential veto. There are other senators, however, who think to the contrary. The hope of the persons who are opposed to the enactment of an adjusted compensation law is that, when the tax reduction hill Is outlined definitely and it becomes apparent that the taxes cannot be cut In accordance with the measure unless the bonus Is defeated, senatorial sentiment will shift and that the President's veto will he allowed to stand A member of congress the other day paraphrased an old rhyme thus: 'Taxation is vexation and the bonus la as bad." This seems to sum up the situation so far as congress Is concerned. Virtually every member in the honse and most of the members in the senate desire to pass the bonus bill and desire at the same time that there shall be tax reduction. They find themselves wishing today that adjusted compensation might have been put up to £be veterans of the service for a refeflgav dum vote. • South Dakota's t a w Ptostlng.* Washington still seems to be coftfueed over the Sooth Dakota law cor- j erntag entries Into the president 1*1 primaries contest Ooafteaadly ao Soeth J and gets first Dakotan in official life here stands thoroughly the ins and outs ut the statutes. About the only thing that seemingly Is known definitely by the friends of the candidates of both parties la that It is necessary before New Year's day to make official declaration of their Intentions to the authorities of the state. One of the somewhat amusing features of the case is that some of the men who do not understand the South Dakota law In its entirety are lawyers who have made a study of It for some year* Things are not quite as cloudy as they were four years ago in the pri mary laws of South Dakota. If they were, then President Coohdge anu Senator Johnson would be compelled to go there La person, or by proxy, to debate some proposed subject before the voters assembled in a sort of i state meeting at Pierre. Four years ago Gen. Leonard Wood was compelled to make a winter trip to Pierre, S. D., to debate .with Senator Polndexter, who was a minority candidate for the presidential nomination and who, through some curious coustructlon of the law was allowed as memory hus it, to appear not only as his own champion, but as that of Frank O. Low den and of Hiram W. Johnson. Senator Norbeck of South Dakota tells me that the provision of the law which requires the presidential candidates to debate some question or other before the voters has been repealed. Why This Primary Is Important. The primary In South Dakota bes a significance far beyond that vjhlch comes to It from the number of (deleg a t e which the state sends to the national convention. It Is the first state to hold a presidential primary therefore the victor in the case the prestige which comes from a success. Every effort, therefore/ will be made by the friends of the President and-by the friends of Senator Johnson to make good in South] Dakota. Four years ago General tVood clinched hib primary victory In South Dakota by the impression whidh he made at the debate at Pierre. The meeting at the state capital was a picturesque affair and It had a rather dramatic ending. Your correspondent was present at the debating contest between Wood and Polndexter. The latter Is a trained parliamentarian and debater General Wood knew nothing about parliamentary nor debating tactics, but he won the day, or rather the* evening, through a curious ralsunder standing on the part of Senator Poin dexter of the temper and the temperament of the audience. The time was divided between thttwo contestants. One led off and talked for fifteen minutes and the otb er responded for a like time. TheD there were two ten-nalLute allotments to give and take and then each had five minutes to sum tip. Wood's Defeat or Polndexter. The trend of Senator Poindexter's address was against anything looking like American participation in European affairs. General Wood was for a League of Nations with the reservations which at that time had been put forward by certain senate leaders. The senator made the error of intimating that America ought to keep out of Europe in every way and what he said sounded as If he was asking the people of South Dakota If they wanted their money to go to feed people over on the other side of the water. Just at that time there was suffer ing among the women and children In the Far East, When the senator had said his say General Wood went to the platform front and addressing the audience said : "If the people of South Dakota are willing to see women and children starve to death when It Is within the means of America to save them, I do not want their votes in the presiden tlal primary." Then, so to speak, the roof went off. The sentiment of the audience seemingly was for Wood. Senator Norbeck of South Dakota who four years ago was for General Wood for the presidential nomination is todRy for Senator Hiram \V, John son. The President, however, has sev eral South Dakotans who hold official positions as workers In his behalf. • T H E - KITCHEN CABINET (£• !•**. WcMera ftawapapar Union.)

O, punishment USES FOR LEFT-OVER PA8TRY In the best of organized kitchens there will be an occasional bit ot leftover pustry and one is often puzzled as to how to utilize it. Here are a few suggestions: Tarts are delicious tidbits and may be prepured "on purpose" or with ^left-over pastry. Rpll out very thin and cut with a biscuit cutter into rounds, In even numbers. Take half of the rounds and with a large thimble make small holes in the circles of pastry—three makes an attractive number. Bake the tarts, spread Jelly on the circles and cover with the perforated ones. If one has les* time, roll and cut the pastry Into triangles and squares, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake. These may be served with a hot sauce as dessert if liked. Pastry shells may be made to use filled w i t h ^ r e s e r v e s , jams or with sweetened fresh fruit. Roll the pastry and line muffin pans or cover the bottoms, then bake. Roly Poly.—Roll out a small circle of pastry, making as large a one as the size of the family warrants.

(Prepared by tre United States Department of Agriculture.) The mileage of surfaced roads in the United States Including sand-clay, gravel, macadam as well as those which have been paved, is well over 400,00() miles, according to the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. At the close of me year 1921 the surfneed mileage was approximately 387,000 miles and 35,000 miles were constructed in 1922. It Is believed that the 1923 construction will not fall short of the previous year's reeord and that by the end of the present year the surfaced mileage will be sontewhere near 430,000 miles. This figure, It is believed, makes due allowance for the fact that a portion of the 1922 and 1923 construction consists of the resurfacing of roads reported as surfaced at the beginning of 1922.

The skin, bones, eye, heart, udder and other regions where the disease is seldom looked for may be- the seat of tuberculous Infection. According to the records of the bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, lesions of the disease have been found in 57 different parts of bovine animals, Socalled obscure lesions have been responsible in "some cases for live stock .owners to doubt that cattle which reacted to a tuberculin t«jst were actually diseased. ^ The increasing knowledge of tuberculosis and Its eradication, however, according to Department of Agriculture veterinarians, shows that the disease Is practically always present when on animal reacts to the tuberculin tost. But it Is difficult in some cases to find the physical signs, owing to the large masses of flesh and tissue that must be examined to find the proof. More frequently the disease is plainly evident on the Inside of the body wall, on the liver, In the lungs or tissues that are visible at the time of slaughter. &H 1¾ £i&?

It must be remembered that an infant is helpless, unable to tell that constipation is making its life miserable. Consequently the mother must be able to recognize signs of constipation in her baby. Convulsions, night terrors, grinding the teeth in sleep, feverishness, fretfulness and such symptoms—any of these may indicate that poisons from baby's stagnant intestine are flood* ing the little body. In older children biliousness, coated tongue, loss of appetite warn the mother that constipation is present. Constipation, unchecked in youth, may lead to serious consequences. In constipation, according to intestinal specialists, lies the primary -canti* of mnrfi than thrrr-nuartrra of all illnass, including the fHepvrsBf'vc i fwm gravest diseases of life. Laxatives Only Aggravate Constipation The mother should not resort to laxatives. A noted authority says that laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition and often lead to permanent injury. Why Physicians Favor Lubrication Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal tract gained by X-ray observation, haa found in lubrication a means o(f overcoming constipation. The gentle 1 ubricant Nujol, penetratea and softens the hard food waste and hastens its passage through and out of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness, Not a Medicine Nujol is used in children a and general hospitals and U prescribed by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a medicine of laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is Harmless. Let your infant or child have Nujol regularly—and see rosy cheeks, clear eyes and happiness return once more. Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopting the habit of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol yourself as regraarly as y o u brush your teeth or wash your face.

Washington—Undismayed by the challenges from Senators Borah and Norris, Secretary of State Hughes returned to the atta-ck upon Communistic propaganda in the United States .as in spired by soviet interests in Russia. The secretary made public the text of a communication to American Communists, issued by M. Zinovlew, described by the state department as "president of the Petrograd soviet; president of the communist Internationale; member of the All-Russian Central Executive committee, and member of the Federation, Central executive committee." In this document, which first appeared, it seems in the Moscow Pravda, official organ of the soviet regime, Zinoview appeals to American communists to concentrate their energies upon American "peasantry," insisting that it is as important to take the small farmer of this country into camp as the trades unionist At the same time the Russian spokesman lays direct claim to the American Farmer-Labor party; as sails Samuel Gompers and Morris Hlllquit as tools of capitalism and makes the announcement that the "general situation" is as extremely revolutionary" in America as it is in Germany. In the senate Mr. Borah and Mr. Norris have demanded that the state department produce proof that the communist propaganda being carried on here proceeds from the soviet government and Senator Lodge, speaking for the administration, has given as surance that the foreign relations committee will undertake an'inquiry which will establish the authenticity of such proof as may exist. Agreeing that it was necessary for the revolutionists to make their first drive in America among the laboring class, M. Zinoview reminds his "comrades" in America that it is yet more important that all hands pull together to proselyte the "American peasant.." MARKETS U. * . BUREAU Or M A R K B T t WssMiitte*.

Hudson practically reuses .to have anything to do 'with Ann, and the child is gladly adopted by Hendricks Cortlandt Ann's mother and stepfa thef are lost at sea. Ann fills a gap in Hendricks Cortlandt'a lonely • heart The situation is resented by Mrs. Renneslyer, Hendricks' sister, whose son, Hendricks, has been looked upon as the natural heir to the Cortlandt wealth. The Civil war breaks out A tentative engagement between young Renneslyer and Ann Is understood, the youth enlisting. War hospitals are established in New York, and Ann takes up the work of cheering the wounded back from the front With her guardian, Ann visits Renneslyer in his encampment on the outskirts of Washington and meets noted people. Ann devotes herself to Densley Howard, a dying soldier, who tells her she must not marry Renneslyer. Renneslyer's name appears In the death list, soon after Ann had secretly written breaking off their engagement. Hendricks Cortlandt goes to Europe. Ann hears that Renneslyer la alive, and starts for the front. Circumstances plunge her into the thick of the Gettysburg struggle. Ann finds Renneslyer alive and unhurt. He puts her in charge of Avezzana. Italian military observer, with whom she is compelled to pass the night In a deserted farm house. CHAPTER XIII—Continued. —9— . The girl's Inclination was to run down the car to greet him, and to tell every one how wonderfully kind he had been to her, but to her amazement there was no returning smile In his look. His eyes met hers coldly and firmly, and there was a prohibition In them. She did not look up again as the men went through the car, but she could hear the Italian's .soft-voiced felicitations. "In my country we do nothing so excellent for our wounded. It will greatly interest the war ministry." They stood for a while gravely discussing hospital equipment and then they went away. Avezzana departed •without a single backward look ; the only time his eyes had met Ann's was to that first icy glance. The girl was furiously angry with him, and bewlldeled, too. She could not Imagine why he, should pretend that he did not know her; as she thought of it her indignation grew, and at the same time she was enormously cast down. It was, perhaps, half an hour before the door opened again, furtively. It was, the supposed, only a brakeman Coming to attend to his work, but as no one entered Immediately, she became suspicious. She thought that if It was Avezzana she would not speak to Mm; a flame of anger swept through her. In a moment the young Italian stuck his head into the car and startled her with a brilliant smile. Aha hastily turned her head away, but somehow she was aware that he slipped around the door, and closed U baalnd him with a little burlesque of caution.

She found herself clinging to the Italian, while the door slammed behind them, with a great clatter of glass. She met his intent eyes, and tried to pull herself away, but could not, because her arm <4tas held in a close clasp. "Please!" she said feebly, all her defiance shattered by this unexpected happening. "In one moment" Avezzana replied, and he piloted her across the perilous open platform to the steps at the side. "Sit here," he said ceremoniously, as he lowered her down carefully to the narrow swinging seat. There the flying ground seemed very close; she could see each distinct pebble on the right-of-way. Her skirts filled all the space between the hand-rails, but Avezzana made nothing of that; he swung himself past her, so that she held her breath lest he should fall; then, unceremoniously pushing aside her crinoline, he seated himself on the step below her. Wedged into that tiny place, she could not avoid looking into his wide, smiling, black eyes. She had never seen eyes Just like them; beneath their smile they were curiously unexpressive, as though they had no depths. With an effort, she looked away, and remembered that she was offended. She frowned as she realized, too late, that she had lost ground In allowing him to bring her out from the car. "You are angry?" "Of course I am an*ry!" Ann's direct gaze met his, firmly. "Because I do not speak to you. Is It not so?" Ann said nothing, hut she looked off over the unfenced fields with cold indifference. "You do not know why I am silent? No? It is of a strangeness, your country! Here you are, young, unmarried—a lady." Was there, Ann wondered, the least question In his voice? "You spend a night with me. atone. It Is not to be helped, no, but surely it Is not to speak of, for I, too, am a gentleman !" "But what of It?" Ann burst out. "Why not talk about It? No one would think anything of it," she looked him over magnificently, "with me." Avezzana said nothing for a bit; he was plainly staggered. Finally he announced firmly, "I could not have recognized you, before those men, no, not if I died for It . '. , I could not have spoke. . . . You understand? you forgive?" Ann softened unwillingly. She still cherished a slight feeling of resentment, but she allowed a memory of his care of her to overlay It. "I suppose so," she said ungraciously, but she smiled at him. Avezzana smiled back, and all was well. 'There are some things I must ask you." "About the feeding of my patients?" Ann laughed. "No," he then said quite gravely. "About you." "Well, what about me?" "Many things. . . . Why were you there—at the battle?" "We had word that my cousin. Hendricks Renneslyer, was dead and then we heard he wasn't I w%nt to make sure." "Your cousin?" Ann could feel herself flushing, but she managed to nod carelessly. Then Avezzana said something that surprised her. "I have seen him since. He says you are fiancee." "We were—but we're not—now." "Then why risk all, In this way? Surely, even in your country, it is not the custom for a beautiful young girl to—" He broke off, with a wide gesture. "You talk Just like my aunts," the commented. .#mmm pU H spat tor her. ai- Mat < * J f c * " * P * P * » *rder Js?y^ejS,_njejgnBnjBjn^^ MBSJ0 i a n V f a c e . " A h , you have aunts?" There was plainly relief in his tone "I mean—no mother? No father?" "No. . . . I have an uncle; he Is the nicest person in the world, but he Is abroad. The President sent him to Europe." ' Avezzana seemed to be struggling with extraordinary facts. "The President," he murmured, as if that were the last touch to an amazing situation. "I am sorry he Isn't here. He would thank you for me," Ann said prettily. "You will tell h i m r "Yes." "Extraordinaire! And your aunts?" Ann flushed again. "No—not my aunts. They would be awfully cross about it" Avezzana's look of relief deepened into deference. "Your aunta—I hope to know them," he murmured. Ann became conscious of a slight feeling of restraint "I must go," she said uneasily. "To nurse?. . . . But why a nurse—you. a young girl? That Is a tfllng I cannot comprehend." "Plenty of people can't" she assured him comfortingly, and added superbly, "I nurse because I wish to. . . , . la a war. . . . Don't your rtalian women do that?" "Women? Tea, But ladles, never." ' "Well, I am glad I don't live there, that* ail.* Avecseaa leaned toward her eagerly. *De net turn j u g i n m d against my country," he pleaded. "Italia! How she Is beautiful I" "Perhaps when the war la over, uncle will take me there." "Where do you write to your uncle?" "In care of the American minister, Paris. Why?" Avezzana looked at her profoundly. "Perhaps—for no reason," he said. Ann felt," uncomfortably, that there was more there than met the eye. "Now I really must go back," she said, "suppose some one should come In, and not find me?" This was, to Avezzana, potent reasoning. He rose at once. She got unsteadily to her feet, and allowed him to take her hand In his. He held It very tightly, but relinquished it the moment he had the door opened. On the threshold, Ann paused, swaying lightly to the motion of the train. "When you are In New York, will you come to see us?" she demanded. "I shall .give myself that honor." "But you don't know where we live." "Your cousin—he has give me the place." "Oh! . . . Well, then, good-by.*1- She gave hlrn her hand again Impulsively, and vanished Into the car. The next day Ann left the Sanitary commission women, and went on to New York. Mrs. Cortlandt was waiting for her in the ferry-house; she received the prodigal without the slightest indication of an inclination to sacrifice a fatted calf—or, indeed, anything, except the offender herself. During all the years In which si e had shocked her Ann had never known such weighty disapprobation. "Well, miss," WDS all she said In welcome. She ran a disapproving eye over the girl's disgruceful frock. "You look a sight," she ndded grimly. "I know—my old black dress. . . . Isn't it wonderful, Aunt Emily, about Hendricks—that he Is alive and all right?" "We knew that long before your message came. The very day after you left we had a telegram in answer to those we had been sending." Ann stood still In the passageway. "How ridiculous!" she murmured, and laughed. "I am glad you can laugh, miss. Don't stand here; let us get home while we may.". Outside, the streets seemed to Ann to be strangely empty. "Where Is everybody?" she asked Mrs. William. "Come, Ann, make haste! Don't stand there like that! Don't you see those roughs over there?" "What of it? It can't hurt me to have them look at me. . . . I sin sure I shouldn't think they would want to, the way I look." Mrs. Cortinndt broke Into a h>an-llke little run, and Ann hobbled after her on her aching feet. The carriage was waiting; the older woman bolted Into It frantically, and turned t\ pull Ann after her. "What In the world, Aunt Fnilly?" Ann cried, half tumbling Into the musty Interior. Mrs. Cortlandt sank back on the cushions with a great sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," she gasped. "We're safe!" "Safe? Why shouldn't we be?" Ann glanced out of the window at the still deserted streets "Is there anything the matter?" she demanded. "Matter? I should say there wasl Riots, at any moment. Negroes threatened with their lives! Every one scared to death I Roughs from the river- front swarming all over town 1 We shall be fortunate If we reach home with our lives!" "But what h*i* haprened?" "They have besrun the draft tor the A pleased smile broke over the Ital- jtmy^AJOXL Yesterday they drew thefirst names from the wheel. They never should have begun It on a Saturday— all day Sunday to stir up mischief, and no soldiers quartered hereT Ann sat silent letting Mrs. Cortlandt run on. She remembered that her guardian had thought the Draft act a bad one. because, for two hundred dollars, it allowed a rich man to buy his exemption from fighting, but that, she thought would not have caused rioting. As they neared Washington square the streets were more normal, and she decided that the danger of riots was all in Mrs. Cortlandt's head, after all. Of course It was all nonsense, Ann thought, with a pitying smile for one so aged and panicky as competent, middle-aged Mrs. Cortlandt That night safe In her Incredibly comfortable room, and luxuriously clean and crisp In her starched white muslin dressing sack, she wrote a letter to her guardian. It was long past midnight when she had finished her confession, and she went to atand in the window for a moment, before she blew out her candle. She was exceedingly glad to be at home; the peace and comfort of It was like s gentle caress; the. pain and tragedy of Gettysburg seemed s long way off. . . . She wished that she could forget It . . She turned te her bed, waiting, smooth and wbiiey for her tired body. . . waking thoughts were of nothing definite, only an of him that made her smile as she drifted ouPto sleep. The following rooming Ann slept late; the shadows In the square were already shortening toward midday, when she came downstairs, and she cast an impatient glance at the tall clock in the hall. There was nobody In the loa/er rooms, and she summoned old Joseph with undeserved acerbity. "Where is everybody 7" she Inquired. "Mis* Cortlandt and Miss Funny, Miss Ann, was 'bilged to go to dey own house. . . . Mis' Cortlandt say fo' you to stay hyar unrll she come back ag'in. You are on no count to go out." "Hum." Ann was inclined to lnsuborc'nntlon, iut remembering her recent escapades, she was prudent. "Then you'll have to tal<e this letter to the post office, Joseph." "Yes, Miss Ann." He went ofT read lly enough, but Ann had barely time to settle down to Charles Dickens' last enchanting Installment before he burs: into the room -i^aln. 1,;? face a sickly lead color, lie beld oi:* Anu's letter in a hand that shook. "I cayn't go, Miss Ann." "Can't go? Why not pray?" lp h^r Impatience she was suddenly lif.perious. "Downstairs.

"Yes, Miss Ann. . . . An' ail them po* little cullud chlllen In It!" "Don't be silly, Joseph. The police would never let that happen, right here in New York. I don't believe a word of It!" "No. mu'am. . . . I reckon I won't go out today, Miss Ann, honey!" Ann made no move to take her letter; she had, when writing it, appre- "Don't Be 81 lly, Joseph/ she her elated keenly that every word put on the paper would pain guardian, and now that it was dono she wanted to be rid of It. She didn't half believe what she had heard of the riots, and she thought it possible that the old man was trying to evade his walk In the heat. "Of conrse you will take my letter," she said crisply. "You must hurry, or it will miss the boat." "No, Miss Ann—no. It ain't a right healthy day fo' a cullud person to be out!" Ann struggled tn he rqlm wnrl kind, '•if it doesn't go at once It will mis* the boat," she explained with a careful patience, and added more briskly, "I never heard anything so absurd In my life I You can walk up University place to Fourteenth street; it won't take you ten minutes. Now hurry Joseph, do; you'll be home all the sooner. The old man turned slowly, hesitated, and finally shuffled out In s moment Ann saw him emerge cautiously into the peaceful desertion of Washington square, and she smiled at his foolish panic. Suddenly she heard an ominous series of muffled crashes, ripped by sharper detonations. It shook her tranquillity, and she felt somewhat guilty, as she went out on the steps to listen. She began to be uneasy about old Joseph, although she felt no real alarm. In a few moments Fanny Cortlandt came harrying down the square. "I was fortunate to get back unmolested. Ann. they are murdering the negroes, and torturing them! Isn't It horrible? They say one poor man— Why, Ann, where are you going?" Ann was flinging herself down the ateps. She caned back, "I sent Joseph out I rm going after him!" Fanny sprang after her, and caught her by the arm. "Ann. Don't think of such a thing! What could yon de - a UrlTV Ann shook her oh? eavtgejy^ T m going!" she declared. l i k e thet? Wttfcont am; h a t r Ann laughed. "No," she replied, "with yours I" She snatched Fanny's from her smooth head, and ran clumsily down the square. She forgot all about her lame feet In her anxiety, for in the distance she eaught a murmur of wild voices. As she neared the corner of University place, the confusion came louder; there was a thud of heavy feet, and a savage medley of shouts. Above the noise she heard suddenly a raucous voice calling, "Burn the nigger! Burn him !" and the sound of pounding feet came louder. Filled with sickening premonition she flung herself around the corner and stood, horrorstruck. Running down the center of the street, straight toward her, was old Joseph. Perhaps ten yards behind him there were twenty-five or thirty men and boys, In a scattering group. They could easily have caught h'm? Ann could see that they were playing with him—savoring their enjoyment of his terror. A rage that blinded her to everything else caught the girl In its fierce grip; she had no sensation of fear as she sprang forward. "Oh," she cried, "stop! He's an old man !" Joseph saw her. and making a last effort, he plunged toward her and fell, huddled In a shapeless heap, at her feet. She could hear the rasping pulps of his breath as he lay There. There were vague shouts of "Kill the nigger!" but salutations to the girl almost drowned thern out: "Hello, my beauty! Let the nigger he strung up, but you come with us!" For an In stant Ann's mere presence held them at bay. but the pressure bpnind was strong, and all at once the entire group burst on them, overwhelming them. The girl and the old negrr> were hustled rouirhly Into the square. Ann, feeling for the first time strange and compelling hands upon her, struck out with a primitive fury. The men about her fell back laughing. "Let him go," Rhe cried, taking advantage of the momentary lull. "Let me have h!m." A hurst of Inughter greetfd his plea. A man shouted, "Give us a kiss, my dear." Then the demand to "KIM the nigger!" arose agHln, more fiercely. Under the confusion of her fright, Ann began to plan, and she steadily pressed back down the square toward Fifth avenue and the haven of her guardian's house. She dragged Joseph bodily* her compelling hand on his arm. "Let the girl have him." a voice arose unexpectedly, and the crowd stilled to hear. "Who 1B he, miss?" "Why, he Is Just our butler." Her young voice floated out clearly, every one heard. A great roar of laughter greeted her announcement. "P—n the rich !" some one called out. "They don't have to be drafted. They pay their dirty money for us to go and be killed." Her champion dropped out, as suddenly as he had Intervened. "Let's take the girl, too." A roughlooking youth Ann had Identified as the leader caught her by the wrist, and pulled her toward him, grinning. She leaped back, ducked under his outstretched arm, and wrenched herself free. The men about her fell back, laughing and half good-natured, waiting to watch her fight. She thought that she might,take advantage of this, and she tried to shake old Joseph into some vitality, go that they might attempt a dash to safety, hut he was too terrified to understand. She could only drag him after her, hopelessly, so she began to plead with the men nearest them; breathless and desperate, she begged^ them to have mercy. Here and there Ann caught a sympathetic look on a man's face and felt that she was making some headway. They were nearing her xuardianls house when the leader of the mob thrust hlg flushed face almost against her own; without further preliminary he flung his arm about her and said briefly, "You're coming with me." Ann pushed him off feebly; her heart was beating slckeningly, and she had almost stopped struggling, when all at once she was conscious of a new element In the crowd. There was confusion on Its edge; some one was hitting out wildly. In a moment she could see that a man was pushing toward her! his fierce attack had opened a wide lane In the tight-pressed group and almost before she realized that he was there, he was at her side; he was white and breathless, but she had a heartening realization of his courage. "Is there a decent man in this gang?" he shouted. "Stand by me, boys!" Two or three shamefaced volunteers pushed their way to his side. "That's the ticket!" He turned to Ann. "Let the nigger go," he said briefly. She looked at him with wide and desperate eyes. "I won't," she said. "That is my house, Just there. Can't we make it?" He cast a brief glance at the distance. "Run for it," he ordered, as with a savage kick he helped the limp negro to regain his agility. Ann thrust her arm through the old { man's. Her courage and bar strength came flooding back te her with the opportunity te escape. Joseph retted desperate eyes around him, ami seeing that he wan te safety, he tore himself from her grusa> and ran. The basement door was open. with Fanny's frightened face behind It, and the fugitives fell into the house, safe. The rioters flung tberaselvee against the stout oak dr>or as the holt shot into place. Ann ran tumultously up the basement steps. "Where are you g"lng?" FanBjcatled after her. terrine.1. Ann paused for an Instant. T O D stand by the door," she directed. "That man out there—he saved my life J— Let him in when he comes." And without waiting for an answer she hurrted on, lame, breathless, and often stumbling, up the long, cruelly steep stairs to her uncle's room. There, In the drawer of the table by Mr. Cortlandt's bed, she found what she wanted. It was a revolver, blue black and heavy In her hand. She was breathing so hard that she had to wait for Just an Instant before she opened the window in the balcony overhanging the square. For a moment she could Dot see her protector, and cold terror gripped her until the discovered him, where the knot of men was thickest The attack on the door had been ahar>- doned for the more exciting event of mauling the girl's champion. Ana had never fired a revolver, and her hands were trembling so that eveo. when she used both, the long muzzle swept the crowd In wide curves. "If I shoot straight. I shall probably kill him," she reflected grimly, as she pulled very hard Indeed, and managed to fire. The revolver kicked, and the charge went high over the heads of the rioters; the report had an instantly calming effect. There was a general tendency to fall back, and every face turned toward her as she stood, armed, in her ba/cony. Her unknown campion took advantage of the lull to shake off hli assailants, and to> push toward the nouse. Stones began to fall about her; she dodged a particularly vicious one and heard the window behind her crash into blts\. The crowd was recovering from its panic, and she peered over the balcony to see what was happening to her pro* tector. He was just below her, engaging two or three of the roughs at once, hut obviously losing ground, so shefired agnin. deliberately, directly down into the crowd. No one seemed to be hurt, but she could not be sure, so she leaned over the rail to look. In her agitation she dropped her pistol and It crashed heavily Into the upturned face of the young leader ot the rioters; he went down without a sound, and hl.s followers drew back. Ann saw the stranger lenp for the basement door and heard It slam behind him. A shower of stones fell about her and she was conscious of a shurp pain In her hand as she ducked down hastily and went back through the window Into the house, where the terrified servants were closing shutters behind the shattered windows. It was fortunate for the fugitives that this was the first day of mob fighting; when confronted with the actual demolishing of property, the leaders hung back, and a more peaceably Inclined man on the outskirts urged that the house belonged to Hendricks Cortlandt. "him who built the Old Folk's home.* The leader staggered up unsteadily; Mr. Cortland't revolver lay at his feet He looked at It covetously nnd then picked It up; It was not a bad prise to have won. "Well," he said, "even the rich alnt all alike. We'll let this nigger go. and get us another one somewhere else." The women, palpitating at a crack In the shutters, could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw the crowd move off. They hod all expected the worst. In the meantime Ann's champion lay where he had fallen when he had staggered Into the house. From one blue trousers leg a bright red stain was slow* ly spreading, wet and ominous. When Ann came down the stairs and saw him, she gasped sharply and the color went out of her lip*. "Did I shoot him?" she asked, agonised. The man managed to lift his head. "Don't you fret." he murmured. "Tt'e an old wound. I'm Just out of hospW tal." Then he dropped again, and lay, limp and white, on the basement floor. Ann cut away his bloodsoaked trousers legs. She found that the bleeding came from a gash above the knee, which was only half healed, and had, obviously, reopened; it was a comparatively simple-matter for her to awnthe bleeding, and to dress the wound with towels torn Into strips. Then she routed old Joseph from the cellar, where, on regaining his safety, be had taken refuge, and the old man and the women managed to carry the limp body of Ann's rescuer upstairs to th* guest room. When Ann bent over him she found something hauntlngly familiar In Mslean face, bearded only sparsely, and? well below the high cheek-bones; shethought that she might have seen him* In a hospital somewhere. She gave* hire a tablespoonful of whisky and hi s moment he opened his eyes sn# looked at her. He smiled and hta Itna parted. She bent to hear. Impel sum ally, as she had so often dona In thn hospitals. "Annie Byrne," the young mured, pleased. And then, again, Annie, do V -Hew ttranoe that It •ftetld have been yeu whe eeve* site, Peter!"

Y The very latest phu**; in fashion, a irrtwtiuii ut the !>'IOLU1 activities ot the .(yy, is the di't'»> for winter sports. It ,^ picturesque, unique and often amuts- 11¾. In inuay wusb, sa.ys u fashion correspondent in the New York Times, the trend of the day is country ward, which creates a need for distinction in dress "f various kinds, la the days when iiiy people found their pleasure wholly within walls, the calling of a rentor of fashions must have been comparatively simple. However elaborate the gowns of a great lady, it went without saying that she svould at .ill times dress in a manner consistent !y feminine. Artists put much skill and industry, and their patrons fabulous sums, sometimes, into splendid ball gowns, charming afternoon frocks and formal tea gowns and a tailor who knew his trade had the most ditlicult task of all in building a plain tailored suit for the si reef. "Fit," which meant enclosing the lady in something almost as snug as her own skin, was the most important consideration some decades ago, as the pictures in fashion books show, and tlie modiste employed much crinoline, whalebone and steel. A great deal of thought was given to millinery and footwear, and the whole scheme of things involved much detail, the finest workmanship and a great deal of money, as money was counted in grandmother's young ladyhood. When she went sleighing, she was wrapped In furs over the most modish frock and bonnet. When she skated. from tune to time suits, single garments and ensembles in the smartest sports costumes. They are more lm portant, having more of style, service and individual appeal than any clothes of this type yet shown. They are far ahead of last year's styles, which were then considered to be outre. A few of the lovely things brought from Paris indicate the trend for outdoor winter clothes, without regard to htne.ss for specific occasions. Among these is a particularly attractive example of the knitted dress. It consists of a three-quarter length coat of black and white zephyr wool crocheted in a tine close stitch, one stripe being all white, the other black, each two and one-half inches wide. The collar is wide and voluminous, to stand high and fold over, and the coat fastens with wool frogs down the front. T h e turn-hack cuffs a r e wide, and a i fringe edges the bottom of the coat. | This is one of the most engaging ex- i arnples of black and white In striking combination that has been shown this season. It is a garment to be worn over any dress, for a stroll, a drive or short outing in the country. There is a knitted skirt of black and white stripes to match the coat, if a twopiece suit is desired, and a scarf that will combine with the suit or serve separately. Black and White Used. In tills black and wRite scheme are many stunning suits—two-piece, three- ] piece and separate garments. A charming little winter dress is made of white j kasha cloth in one piece.

N«w Torts, for pavrue«lw» rv it was in a e o s t u m e w h o s e architecture displayed a figure as tightly molded in stays as It appeared in her most elaborate evening gown. In fho<\> days any tailor was entrusted with the making of a skating suit, and for that matter many of them were obviously homemade affairs. Sports Clothes Favored. In the span of two generations dress has been revolutionized, and femininity is expressed in terms of n boyish silhouette, in a figure guiltless of stays. in trousers, hoots and cardigans. The debutante is an athlete, the young daughter a tomboy and the successful couturier must make this type the keynote of his endeavor. Trie finer fabrics, flannels, broadcloth, camel's-hair nnd rash mere are now for woman's activities. Her tailor works today in Knglish materials, in Scotch tweeds and homespuns. In Highland tartans, in buckskin .and suede. Innumerable homely stuffs and accessories, once looked upon as bourgeois, are receiving respectful attention, nnd one by one appear as something choice nnd rare. Such lowly garments as knitted Jackets, mufflers and woolen skirts that were associated with the farm are now thought chic and represent the type of thing designated as sports dress. It is the fad of the day to feature the peasant's garment, nnd the more r m l e it is the more decorative and smart. One's modiste presents the crocheted "shawl." the sleeveless Jacket (originally called cardigan) and the knitted socks of yarn as the last word In smartness for a sportswoman's outfit. These very things are not confined to sports clothes, for their comfortable appeal has found its way to the lnxury-lovlng person who seldom stirs heyonrl walls. Whether the argument Is for ease or for the pleasant consciousness of being in style appears not to sljmlfy, for they are unmistakably modish. Anticipating a bit the actual season of winter sports, t h e department stores and smaller shops h a r e had on display seam that joins skirt to bodice in nn ornamental line and cuffs nnd collar are outlined with a row of small, dull black buttons close together. This frock, which has no other trimming. is original and chic and is intended, in its slim simplicity, to be worn under an overwrap of cloth or fur. In the same collection is a frock of white broadcloth cut in a straight silhouette, with a pattern in yellow cloth introduced in points and slender panels. Another model is done in gray kasha duvetyn, over which is worn a coat of gray rodier material with deep skirt band, collar and cuffs of kit fox and lining of silver gray brocaded crepe. In gayer moods is a three-piece suit of brown tweed, strictly tailored. The overblouse Is a combination of vivid scarlet, orange, black and browa. and the three-quarter coat Is made of the plain tweed, with scarf of the same lined with bright orange silk. since colored stockings have become the rage, many pretty patterns are shown. The sheer chiffons are In flesh, peach, apricot, amber and beige, usually plain anil thin as gossamer. Black and white is smart, but black Is seldom seen except In the lacy open-work and embroidered stockings. In the woolen stockings that are now smart for the street and sports wear are many enjraRing styles—checks, diagonals, stripes and the plain woolens embroidered with fancy clocks. For the less gentle country life, the sports and strenuous doings of the athletic element, a definite type of costume is shown, models representing designs from many artists of renown In Paris. The creators of styles are departing from their accepted metier In adapting their art to sports clothes for Americans. These are similar to those in vogue at the Continental resorts, or are reproduced with a fine sense of proportion and are undeniably c h i c Women's sports togs, to be comme II fant, are almost exactly like men's— more so this season than ever before. Real sportswomen go in for a costume far more extreme than has before been shown. T H I N G S T O E A T Delicious srtews may be made of small pieces of meat if the family U small.

It takes real rubber to stretch like that. But that's what a strip of rubber cut from a "U.S." Walrus or Boot will do. No higher quality rubber has ever been put into a rubber overshoe or boot—and that's one of the big reasons why the "U.S." brand gives longer wear. Layer on layer of tough fabric reinforcements are anchored in this live rubber. They give rugged strength to stand the hardest knocks and strains. Because of these important facts farmers in every section of the country are finding that "U.S." means longer wear and better service. It will pay you to ask for "U.S." and get the longest wear your money can buy. Other "U. S." Rubber Footwear You 11 find every kind pf rubber footwear in the big ••U.S." Vnc. In addition to the " U .

Laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation, says a noted authority, but% by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition and often lead to permanent injury. Why Physicians Favour Lubrication Medicar science has found at 4ast in fabrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage through and out of the body. Thus, Nujol brings internal cleanliness. Nujol is used in leading hospitals sad is prescribed by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a medicine or ' laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water, it is harmless. Take Nujol regularly and adopt this habit of internal cleanliness. For sale by all druggists.

TAX1CABS FOR CHILDREN MADE IN PARIS OVERHEATING MAY DO MUCH DAMAGE Cooling System of Automobile Should Be Kept in Best Condition. ( B y I R W I N O R E E R . P r e s i d e n t Orfer College, of A u t o m o t i v e IS na in oaring-, C h i c a g o . ) ! You have all seen the fellow who pushes his steaming, clanking car about town. It looks fur all the world 1 tike a baby locomotive, but perhaps wkat you and ho don't know is that I this overheated condition injures the pistons, the cylinders, the bearings and all Internal parts of the engine. Of course, it is likely to cause damage to some of these parts and shortly he ' learns this himself—after he has paid S big repair bill for Information that could have been gleaned from any instruction book. If you run the car with Its spark retarded the engine will overheat. Carbon, a crippled fan and impeded water flow through the cooling system will ' also cause overheating. Stop and Investigate. When nut driving and your car overheats it is imperative to instantly stop and find the trouble. In an emergency ! a very wise thing to do Is to pour an abundance of oil Into the crank case. J Of course your exhaust will smoke, 1 but the additional oil will offer a protection to the inside of the engine until ' relief Is at hand. The fan is one of the most important parts of the cooling system. If the belt slips so as to reduce the j fan draft it must be adjusted, but in making the adjustment do not get the belt too tight for it will break. Clean the belt in gasoline every so often and rid It of the oil and gummy matter. Hitch up your garden hose and send its spray through the openings in the radiator that probably are clogged with mud. But do this from the engine side of the radiator, otherwise you will short circuit the electrical system. Radiator May Be Clogged. If the engine still overheats It Is probable that the Inside of the radiator is clogged, so disconnect both the Inlet and outlet and plug them with \ corks. Now make a mixture of halfand- half vinegar and water and fill the j radiator to Its brim. Let It stand for half an hour. Then allow this mixture to drain off and put the nozzle of the ! hose into the Inlet of the radiator, Turn on the water and let It run for an hour. The flushing should he very thorough as the vinegar remaining in | the tubes would eventually eat them ! to a certain extent. Then connect the radiator and your trouble will be found to have disappeared, provided that a clogged radiator was the cause of the | overheating. j The Ideas outlined above are not i new, nor are they the only ways and j means of accomplishing your purpose, but they give satisfaction, are not complicated, costly nor unduly timeconsuming. Try them and see. W. N. U, DITIIOIT, NO. S-1ML How to Apply Brakes and Prevent Skidding Do not apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a wet pavement. Such action Is liable to start a skid. If that does occur, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. At the same Instant release the brakes. Better control will result if the brakes are applied gradually on and off. Many drivers lose their heads In such emergency, and feel that they have done everything possible when they have locked the brakes. Don't permit the driving wheels to slide either In starting or stopping. Gradual clutch and brake engagement will avoid this. Don't run the ear any distance on a deflated tire. At the first warning stop and make the change. Nothing will break down the tire walls more quickly. Don't try to make every hill In high •peed. Nothing Is to be gained by so doing. Your gearset Is designed to meet such requirements. If you persist In this practice you will soon find It necessary to refit the engine bearings, s a d furthermore, you will greatly reduce the tire mileage of the driving wheels. Don't approach a down grade at speed atfd then apply the brakes suddenly to bring tbe car under control. Many accidents occur from this cause, espedallv on, wmt roads. Aside from this the tires suffer and the brakes wear oat quietly. Backing Light for C a n Helps Driver at Night To facilitate backing an auto out of a garage or over a winding drive at night fasten a small spotlight under the running board on the driver's side <>f the car, as shown. An ordinary flashlight can be used for this purpose; it may be held between two spring clips, screwed to the underside of the running board. A permanent installation is, however, more convenient. A cheap reflector and a bracket of the kind designed to be at- Small Light Under Left Running Board Facilitates Backing Up at Night. inched to a single dry cell, are used. The bracket Is straightened out so that it can be clamped under the rear running-board brace. The leads to the socket in the reflector are connected to a switch on the instrument board and to the storage battery, and a lamp suitable for the voltage of the battery is inserted in the socket. The light beam vvLJl Illuminate the entrance to the garage sufficiently to steer the car into it without trouble,—Walter C. Harris, Brooklyn, N. Y., in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Changing Tires on Car Will Increase Mileage Changing truck or passenger car tires at regular intervals from one wheel to another will Increase the mileage of a set of tires to a greater degree than the average owner realizes. Tire companies have done a great deal of experimental work along these lines during the past few years. "Engineers," says a representative of a tire concern, "have made exhaustive tests relative to comparative wear on tires in various positions. They have learned that those on the right wheels are subjected to greater wear than those on the left, and those on the rear wheels to more than those on the front. "Thus it readily can be seen that occasional changes will effect more equal distribution of wear with a consequent increase In mileage. "Records have been kept at a certain factory on a large number of tires, which have run In the aggregate more than 8,000.000 miles. Some of these tires have been run continuously In the same positions. The records show that the average tire on the left front wheel will give nearly twice as much mileage as the one on the right rear wheel. "The mileage in the various positions, therefore, will be approximately the following proportions: To one mile of service on the right rear wheel tires will average 11-10 miles on the left rear, 1½ miles on the right front and 1¾ miles on the left front. In other words, the average tire that would run 6,000 miles on the right rear wheel would run about 7,000 miles on the left rear. 9,000 on the right front and 11,000 on the left front wheel." Unique Ute for Honey Du/ing Severe Weather The recent cold weather raised the problem of how to keep the radiator of our automobiles from freexlng. In some sections where alcohol is more In demand for other purposes, honey la being used as an antifreeze solution in automobile radiators, according to Dr. F. II. Lathrop, chief of the entomology division of Clemson college. To prepare the antifreeze honey solution, measure out half enough water to fill your radiator, and a d d sn equal volume of cheap strained honey. Bring this to a boil and add one quart of wood or denatured alcohol for each three gallons of solution. After this has boiled from three to Ave minutes, the scum should be removed from the top, and the solution is ready for use. Tills honey solution is cheaper than alcohol and has other desirable features. It should not be used, however, where the radiator Itself or the hoee connections are leaky, or where the engine gaskets are not perfectly tight Famous Forte in U. S.

" Long before ttie French explorers pushed into the Interior of North America, the Island of MichillliiiHckluuc, (Mackinac) in Michigan, was a well known landmark to the Indians. The first white man to visit thin ^ate way between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan was Jean Nlcolet wlko paddied past the island in 1M4. In loTI Father Marquette established the mission of St. Ignace nenr by and in 1673 the French built the tirst Fort Mackinac near the mission and from that time until (Vdilluc established Detroit In 1701 it was the principal oui- [xi.st of the French in the West. Mackinac WHS virtually deserted after the founding t->X Detroit, but in 1712 it WHS regarrisoned and held by the French until the Knglish took possession of the country in 17t>0. The British built a second Fort Mackinac on the south shore of the straits, a palisaded structure enclosing about two acres. Here occurred one of the dramatic Incidents of the I'ontlac war when on June 4, 17(¾. the hostile Indians used a ball game as a stratagem for gaining entrance to the fort. They killed 'JO of the garrison and took the remainder prisoners, among them Captain Ktherlngton, the commander, who failed to heed advance warnings of the conspiracy. After I'ontiac's war was over the British again occupied Fort Mackinac and it again became the center of the fur *nide of the Northwest. It was an important British post during the devolution and In 17*0 the garrison was transferred to Mackinac island where It began building the third Fort Mackinac, a strong fortress of stone. Although (ireat Britain agreed to give up all of her western posts at the close of the Revolution, It was not until 175)0 that the young republic finally gained control of this post. The next few years saw Mackinac growing in Importance as one of the principal posts of John Jacob Astor's American Fur company. Early In 1812 the British swooped down upon the place and because of their overwhelming numbers easily captured the fort. Tn 1814 a force of r*X) 1'nlted States regulars and 400 militia attempted to recapture Fort Macklnnc, hut their attack was beaten off and the llrltish remained in control until the close of the war. Mackinac island IB now a state park and every year hundreds of tourists visit the historic buildings of the fort, which are still In an excellent state of preservation. W h e r e t h e S o c i a l W h i r l H e l d S w a y . At the close of the second war with England the federal government, which had so nearly lost the old Northwest to the British, resolved to hullrl a chain of forts through this inland empire to guard against future dangers and also to protect the frontier settlements which were constantly pushing westward. One of the sites selected was In Wisconsin where the Fox river empties Into C.reen hay, a place made famous by the early French explorers, a noted fur-trading center and a hotbed of Toryism during the War of 1812. Congress appropriated $21,000 for this fort (a generous sum In those days) and in 1810 Col. John Miller of the Third Infantry" left Fort Mackinac, Mich., with two rifle companies to establish the post at Creen Bay. The work was directed by Cnpt. Lewis Morgan and the post was named Fort Howard In honor of Gen. BenJRinin Howard, commander of the military district In which It was located. Although Fort Howard was a frontier post it soon assumed all the refinements of an Eastern community and It became known as a center of social activity whose prestige In army circles made assignment to It much desired by officers and their wives. In 1819 MaJ. Zachary Taylor (later President Taylor) took command at Fort Howard and under the regime of this courtly Southerner and his wife, life there became a continual round of social pleasure—dinnerparties, cotillions, boating, sleighing and skating. To Green Bay also came many distinguished travelers to enjoy the hospitality of Fort Howard, among them Captain Marryat, the famous "Midshipman Easy" who was entertained at the fort In 1832, and the Prince de Jnlnville, youngest son of King Louis Philippe of France, who visited Green Bay in 1841. It was upon this occasion, according to Eleazer Will tarns, the half-breed Indian, who claimed to be the Lost Dauphin of France, that the prince sought him out and tried to persuade him to abdicate his claim to the throne in favor of Louis Philippe. History has shown, that Williams was a colossal fraud, but his presence at Green Bay, whither he had led a large number of New York Indians to establish an Indian empire in the West, adds another touch of romantic Interest to old Fort Howard. Fort Howard was prominent during ths Black Hawk war, but after the Indian question east of the Mississippi was finally settled and the fur trade was no more, it, like many other posts tn the old Northwest, soon became only s shadow of its former greatness. #^^¾ H .•If- SAY "BAYER ASPIRIN" and INSIST!

B v e r Health and Happiness There are homes where washing, iron'ng, sweeping and other domestic tasks are still done at the cost of tired hands, of aching backs, of weary muscles; where health is sapped and pleasant leisure forbidden by never-ending demands upon the time and strength of the housewife. In these households it is apparently not yet realized that the hardest ar^d most trying domestic work is performed quickly, pleasantly, and at trifling cost by electricity. Electric appliances for washing, ironing, and dish-washing; for housecleaning, cooking, and a dozen other time and labor demandig tasks can be bought on convenient terms and used with great gain in health and happiness.

A chimney burned out during the day und it was supposed there was no further danger, but at night neighbors discovered the house again in flames. Mrs. Winans-and her sister occupied the home, a nurse also being in attendance on Mrs. Winans, who was helpless.

The house was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Winans at the time he was governor of the state. The property was sold to a Detroit real estate farm some time ago but Mrs. Winans was to have remained there until the estate was divided into resort lots. HOWELL MICH.

County \gciit Bolander has been rcc- «-i\ iriK a number of encouraging re- • marks to the effect that Livingston county ought have a real county poultry show, The general sentiment appears to be so much in favor of such an adventure that a county meeting of all interested poultry men is being called for January 2V, to be held in the Howell City Council Rooms at 1:00 p. m. fast time, The purpose of the meeting will be to get plans under way for a poultry show sometime in Februury and to perfect an organisation to carry on the work. There is possibly no county better -situated than Livingston to increase her poultry interests.' Arrangements will be made to have Prof. Foreman of the Michigan Agricultural College here for the meeting to assist in the plans. There appears to be equally as much interest in poult r y in the Fowlervllle Community as around Howell, so arrangements will have to be made as to which town the show shall be held. The success of this venture depends on the interest shown by poultry menthemselves and it will evidenced by the attendance at the meeting January 29. 24c 32-inch Ginghams 22c to 33c s *&;* Two pairs Mens Heavy wool Socks S 75c F FINLEY SPILLS THE BEANS Last Thursday a pluusible talking stranger told Finley Hubbard that he, Would like to hunt rabbits for awhile and engaged Finley to go out with him.

An equal sum was offered by San Francisco, but the committee voted against repeating its 1920 trek to the Pacific coast. The final vote giving the convention to New York after Chicago has been withdrawn, was: New York, 57; San Francisco, 40 and St. Louis, 6.

"He asked for me, Ann. Naturally I shall go down. But hurry." Ann found It impossible to obey this command, She wanted very much to tee Avessana—she was breathless at the thought of him below, waiting. She was all on fire with curiosity as to what he would do next, but at the tame time she wanted to look her best when she confronted him, lest he should regret hie amasing overtures. She ran to the glass and scrutinised her face; although she had only just begun to cry, her eyes were undoubtedly rather red. "I look even worse than I did In the train," she murmured discontentedly, as she poured water Into her wash basin, The cold was delicious to ber flushed face; no one would ever know she had been crying, the decided, when she looked in the mirror again, after prolonged applications. She lingered over her dresses, enable to decide which one she should put on; but she was determined that it should not be black, and finally she selected an apricot green tissue, which the had worn in the spring before she put on her mourning. In It she had a young and vernal look that was undoubtedly charming. She had a heartening conviction of it, herself. As she stole down the stairs the eould hear alternately Mrs. Cortlandt*! high voice and Avexxana's lower, more emotional tones.

Would it, perhaps, prove amusing to you, Slgnora, to meet him? If so I will arrange a little dinner at the Fifth Avenue hotel, where I am stopping for, it is possible, a fortnight." "A fortnight," thought Ann, with a flashing grin. "He doesn't think it will take very long." However, an ambassador; that was something! She rejoined the conversation to hear Mrs. Cortlandt accepting effusively for herself, Ann and Fanny. "You are stopping at the hotel?" she continued. "You are, I have no doubt, comfortable there. We are very proud of the Fifth Avenue, but after all—a hotel !** She shrugged her plump shoulders scornfully. "It would give me great pleasure If you would take dinner with us on Sunday. I am only sorry that Mr. Cortlandt Is not here to make you welcome." Avezzana accepted with every symptom of decorous delight, and took his departure without more than a glance at Ann. It was all entirely incomprehensible; had anyone except her guardian been involved, she would have thought the whole thing a gigantic hoax. Mrs. Cortlandt, however, was decidedly 1m-1 pressed. "Whatever he sees in you, Ann, I cannot imagine," she con tided to the girl. "He Is a charming young man. Such beautiful manners! Such delightful breeding!" Without going Into it further) Ann understood that Mrs. Cortlandt had been Informed of Avezzana's Intentions. Fanny was greatly excited at the prospect of meeting a genuine Italian count, for, in the 'sixties, titles were a novelty In New York. She asked Ann a great many questions about him. to which that young woman replied, dryly, "Oh, he Is Just a man. Fanny, like other men—blacker, perhaps." The Theodore Renneslyers came to the ceremonious mid-Sunday dinner, miraculously reconciled to Ann. Mrs. Renneslyer had not spoken to her since she had Jilted Hendricks, and his father, on the one or two occasions when the girl had seen him, had been so filled with kindly embarrassment In her company, that she had minded It more than his wife's Icy displeasure. She wondered what sort of a meal they would have, all together with Avezzana, and wished nervously that she might be excluded from it, as she had been in the rebellious dsys of her childhood. To her amazement, when Mrs. Renneslyer came In, Just on the heels of the young Italian, she was full of a pleasing, if shallow, affection toward her; and ber husband had returned gaily to his old lively comradeship. It was as though nothing had happened to discredit her with them. Mrs. Renneslyer bad bought herself new dresses on abandoning her mourning, and she seemed, on this bright September afternoon, to have returned miraculously to her youth. She wore a filmy mauve frock, covered with frothy little ruffles of white lace, and a purple bonnet with pansies on the wide brim, which poked forward over ber vivacious face. Her waist was perhaps a tittle thicker and her cheeks a trifle pinker than they bad been on the day. so long ago, when Ann had first seen her, and if one were disagreeable enough to look for them, one might possibly find, In the shadow of N t m § | of coavwadoaalittoa. * * i ^ f ? r ^ v BOO«w yBSOtQ BO* p*^jpiw> jWss^yy £o Ms ttat, there were roses everywhere—everywhere, I assure you. Ann—and purple flowers, great masses of them, I forget their name—" "Bogumvella," Avezzana affirmed, smiling. "Yes, that's it 80 sweet! Of course, I was there long before any one had beard of Garibaldi. I im quite an old woman, you see! I went down to Rome and was presented to the pope. I had to wear a black veil on my bead, Fanny; it was really quite becoming, and the pope was very sweet to me— very. Oh, yes, I loved Rome! I was a great success there, too. I ofteus^onder, Theodore, that I ever came back to New York to marry you. There was such an attractive man I met there! I wonder, Count Avezzana, if by chance you knew him? Of course, by this time, he is probably a grandfather!" And then began a long cataloguing of possible acquaintances, In which Avezzana engaged himself vivaciously. Ann wondered If the Italian were really amused by It. It was Impossible to tell, when watching him from across the table. Now and then he glapced up, and his black eye9 clashed with her gray ones, but there was nothing personal, nothing demanding, in his look; the man she had known In the little house at Gettysburg had vanished so completely that shp thought her memory must have tricked her in regard to him. As for her guardian's letter—she eould only believe that Avezzana had, by this time, changed his mind In regard to her. for he had made no effort to arrange for a glimpse of her between the Thursday of his call and Sunday. In the drawing room after dinner, however, he asked her, choosing a mompnt j when she was protected by the pres- ,' ence of both the aunts, If It would be ! a proper thing for him to ask her f to ride with him one afternoon. "Quite, I shquld think," Ann said, dryly. Mrs. Renneslyer added, smoothly, "In New York, of course, we are not so rigid as you are In Europe; young girls do many things l would prefer a daughter of mine didn't. But you have my permission, Ann, to ride with Count Avezzana." which wait for Avezzana's bride— there is a tiara, too." His glance traveled to the top of Ann's shining head and rested there until she felt uncomfortably naked; she bad never seen a tiara, to be sure, but her Instinct told her the place for one. "And his houses. .Do you like the country, Slgnorina?" "Ye-es," said Ann. "Pretty well." She bad In mind the little white farm house in Milton Center.

It was arranged that they would go on the afternoon before the count's dinner for the Italian ambassador, but at noon of that day the heat broke In a sharp thunder squall and a flood of rain, so that riding was out of the question; Ann had an odd sense of relief at postponing the tete-a-tete. In the evening they all wore their best clothes; when Mrs. William, Fanny and Ann drove through the rain in the big Cortlandt carriage, It could scarcely accommodate their flamboyant skirts. Ann Was in white, Fanny in pink, and Mrs. Cortlandt In plam color. The older woman talked all the way of the charms of their young" host; his good looks, his brilliancy and his fine manners. Ann wondered what she would be saying If she knew of the night in the little cottage at Gettysburg* "Nothing against him," she thought, cynically, "but probably s great deal against me!" The dinner was a most Impressive occasion. Avezzana had engaged a private dining room in his hotel, and bad decorated the table lavishly with flowers, after the Italian fashion. He had secured distinguished company to meet his ambassador; a general in the Northern army, whom he had met at Gettysburg, en ex-minister to Itsly from Wilmington, Delaware, and an Italian' capitalist from Chicago—a aqnaL fat, *wqr*hy man, wfco^when he talked at all, talked volubly of the pos- ' slbil 1 ties of the fruit trade In America. The ambassador proved to be delightful. He was a fme-looking old man, with a white imperial, fierce, white brows over them, which moved np and down frantically when he talked. Ann liked him at once; H would have been Impossible not to have done so, for he Immediately set about making himself pleasant, and she was by no means proof against such flattering attention. She sat on his right, for Aveesana hsd placed the aunta on either side of him, and she found herself devoting most of the evening to a discussion of her host. "A charming boy," the ambassador said, smiling Indulgently across the tsbfe at Aveesana. "1 knew his fsther well, and his mother. Ah—nne bells Slgnora.

"There Is hunting, my dear young lady. You should see the Count Avezzana returning from the chase—" Ann Interrupted him ruthlessly, quite regardless of the fact that he was an ambassador. "No, I mean what do the women do?" The ambassadorial eyebrows flew up and down with extraordinary rapidity. "Oh," be said, "the ladles! Our sunlight. 8lgnorlna! To sit in It is Heaven 1 The ladies have always a parasol of some beautiful color; they make pictures, so, which a man remembers. They gather the flowers, too, and Instruct the gardeners as to the fruits, and, of course, Slgnorina, they talk. In more languages, perhaps, than in this, your country, but the context Is the same—for our ladles are no different ID that respect from ladies all over the world." He laughed, secure in the humor of his little joke, and added, *'And, of course, they have their devotions—their charities.** "In the cities," Ann continued definitely, "what do they do there?" The ambassador leaned back In hia chair and expanded his white shirtfront genially. "Per Bacco!—such delightful lives! Not perhaps so energetic as this of yours, in this so charming country, but always feminine, you understand. It la the custom in the cities of ray country to drive In the afternoon—In Roma, on the Corso, and^ in Firenze, In the Cassine; the ladles use the elegant open carriage like those In which the Queen Victoria drives. Also, because our king sanctions It, It has recently become the custom for the ladies to ride on the horse in my country, as they do In Kngland— but, you understand, with somewhat less freedom. And there are balls,—soirees—the opera—all those entertainments which one finds In capitals—and also, naturally, they have their devotions—their charities." Ann said nothing in response to this. She was wondering if the Italian ladies liked It, living cushioned lives like thst After all. a day had twenty-foor hours: the ambassador's sketch left gaps her imagination could not fill. When the ladles were shawling. Mrs. Rennneslyer murmured to Ann, softly. "You are a sly puss, my dear, and It Is no wonder that my poor boy could not carry the day against such s rival.** She swept out before Ann could defend herself, but on second thought the girl decided It was perhaps aa well •he had not had the occasion to ex» Jmarry the maa who It willing to plain to H«drlcka*-iiroihw T h i r she had never loved bar ton. Tht dinner made a treat difference In the attitude of the Oortiaodte toward bar, there was no Question shoot that Mrs. Renneslyer awarded bar a rttoctaat respect, while Mra, WUttaai sador had talked. As a result, Ann's life was vastly more comfortable. Fanny regarded her with dazzled eyes; she turned suddenly shy, and was much too timid to discuss the possibilities of a great marriage. As for tbe girl herself, she could not help enjoying tbe extraordinary situation in which she found herself, and her wonderment as to what Avezzana'a next move would be became a preoccupation. It was evident that Avezzana considered the dinner a definite step in hla courtship, for every day, following that event, he sent her flowers; they arrived early in the morning, fresh and untouched by the September heat. In the evening he came, formally, to call on her and Mrs. William; it was always a repetition of bis first visit; the older woman was invariably present, and the conversation flowed In shallow courses, so that Ann found herself swallowing yawns. Avezzana's form of courtship was new and exciting, but she came reluctantly to the conclusion that she did not like him, particularly. It was all very perplexing, but, at the same time. It was a fascinating game. When the proposal finally came she was, for all her anticipation of It, caught unaware. The Italian came to dinner in Washington square, and found her ajone In the library. It was obvious that the others would be there in a moment, and Ann had no expectation of anything decisive impending, until, contrary to his habit, Avezzana came close to her chair, and stood over her with an air of affectionate proprietorship. "It Is coming!" Ann thought, staggered, and she began to talk rapidly of the extraordinary heat of the night. He brushed her simple defenses aside with a romantic gesture 6t his hand. "I have something to ask of you." "No. Please don't ask me anything, Count Avezzana." She knew, as she spoke, that he took her compunction for mere maidenly confusion. He smiled, and surprised her. "Have I your permission to call you by your name? To call you Ann?" In her relief, she almost laughed. "Oh—that? Yea, of course, If you like." This permission encouraged Avezzana to an extraordinary extent. He leaned closer to her, and the scent of his pomade enveloped her with an odor entirely different from that used by American men. "Grazia, nolo Bella. You know, perhaps, why I have remain so long In your city?" "I thought perhaps you liked It," Ann said nervously. "I do." Avezzana shrugged one of his slim shoulders. No, I have remain so long In your city because of you, my Ann. You must have—what is It you say?— guessed, that it was my intention to ask you to do me the honor to be my wife. Ever since that night at Gettysburg"— he broke off, and for a moment his deep look flickered away—"but we will not talk of that—not now. It Is only that since then I have the wish but for one thing." He slipped his hand over Ann's at this juncture. "Could you care for me?" he asked, smiling brilliantly down upon her; his assurance was contagious. "I am afraid not," Ann said drearily ; at the time It seemed to her unfortunate. "I will teach you," Avezzana proclaimed, Joyfully. It was exactly as though she had not spoken. "You must marry me, my Ann. You must come with me—to Italia." Ann continued to look at him, halfhypnotized. "I think ray uncle would like It," she murmured. "But yes—It Is a good alliance. The only question Is this. Is It your wish?" Her wish? She almost yielded to his power of suggestion. . . . Everything seemed to be pushing her toward this marriage. . . . Nineteen years old. . ... High time. . . . Every one would be pleased. . . . She had only to nod her head. She smiled rather miserably at Avezzana, and heard a tiny voice somewhere saying, "I really can't—I'm sorry." She hslf regretted the words as soon as she knew them to be hers, and yet she did not recall them. Avessana flushed deeply, and for an instant the vivid passion of his nature flashed out, as it had at Gettysburg. **I must have your he said; for the first time be was loud and uncon- 4*!°.ned' Zl W.WJ BOt.sjyjLioji up. How.. "Is"It that yoa can think to refuse me, after that night near the battle?" "That Is all past," Ann said. "It has nothing to do with my marrying you, or not* With a violent effort Avezzana regained his smooth control of himself. "Please," he begged, "give me a little time. Do not yet make up your mind against me, I beg you." "Very weil.H Ann conceded grudgingly. "Bat don't be too hopeful.** Tbst night before be left. Avezzana hsd a word alone with Mrs. Corthandt, and the next afternoon Ann came In to find the two closeted in the library. She was only too glad to steal past the door to the stair, filled with an exhilarating sense of escape. She had been In her room but a few moments when Mrs. Cortlandt rapped portentously at her door. She came tn, Ann thought, like a ship under foil sail "Well. miss." she flung at the girl, with a complete return to her old manner, "and so, having disgraced the family which has been your benefactor, yon have the Insolence to refute to aba were ti- •1 I caai sea way ho bad to tad f * about it now everything it all ovtty* •: "Over?

Mrs. Cortlandt looked at her, exas> peration written plainly on ber face, "You have compromised yourself with him," she said. "You might Just at well love him. Yoa certainly win base to marry him." "Do you think uncle would agree with you In that?" Mrs. Cortlandt paused; for a moment she was staggered. "I dare say," she said, at length, "that your guardian Is sufficiently infatuated with you to excuse even thia Impropriety, but If you have ordinary graUtUdO.JJtr all his kindness, you will marry COunt Avezzana, and save him the embarrassment of explaining your escapade." Ann's eyes widened. She had not thought of that aspect of her sorry case: "I wish you would let me es> plain It to you," she said, weakly. Mrs. Cortlandt furled some of ber sail, at this concession. She seated herself majestically, and bent a sorry- Ing look on the culprit. "Nothing can ever explain it, Ann," she said heavily. "There is nothing for you to do but marry Count Avezzana. And your guardian approves the match. I have had a letter from him stating his wishes In regard to It." "Oh, may I see It?" It seemed to Ann like a life line In drowning seas. "Certainly not, miss. . . . This young man Is everything you could want titled, head over heels In love with you —rich, even. You would be mad to hesitate, even If you had an alternative." She looked at Ann shrewdly. "Your guardian's choice! Have yoa no gratitude?" Suddenly weariness engulfed Ann, This angry woman arguing with ber I She wanted to be rid of her at any cost. . . . She could see years of rail* Ing stretching out before her, and innuendo about it, too; she thought* shivering, that nothing could be worse than that . . . Her guardian wished the match. That, in Itself, was'enough, . . . She amazed Mrs. Cortlandt by a swift capitulation. "Very well, III marry him. You can tell him so.'* She looked at the older woman la open sneering scorn as she bounced up from her seat; Mrs. Cortlandt smiled, she even kissed Ann—a swift peck on an averted cheek—murmuring - "Contessa !" as she did so. Fanny was all a-flutter over ber friend's romantic alliance; the Ren* neslyers were pleasantly congratulatory, and flattered, too, and Avessana was delighted. From the moment Mra.

A stirring fight between youngsters the like of which is seldom witnessed on the screen was staged in Los Angeles recently between Wesley Barry, the freckled screen star, and a group of youngsters who had been hired for extra parts in a film. Permission had been secured by Warner Brothers to use a country estate in connection with several outdoor | scenes for the feature picture, "Rags to Riches." The company transferred its activities to the estate and all was going well when a little incident threatened to mar not only the picture, but bring the principals into court. A bunch of kids had been brought with the Company for a certain scene, and Wesley Barry, who features in the picture, used to play ball with them near a cultivated garden, whenever he was not wanted by Producer Harry Rapf. During one of the film scenes, Wesley took exception to a remark by one of the kids and a free-for-all fight started^ When it was over, the garden was all in ruins, the flowers were torn up and the place looked like a battling ground.

Sir Auckland la a comparatively young man, and until recently it was supposed that he would continue to hold high rank in the British diplomatic corps for many years to come, but he went to the front in France during the war and suffered during a German gas attack, the effects of which were such as to threaten blindness, and be has been compelled to retire. The British ambassador to the United States always holds a first place socially and diplomatically In the cap- Itul, even if he does not happen to be the ranking ambassador, for men in the ambaasadoriHl corps take rank according to the date of their appointment. . 8ome Former British Ambassadors. James Bryce, a deep student of American affairs, and a writer of high standing on subjects concerning our democratic institutions, was for a long time the British umbussudor In Washington. He was one of the most popular men who ever served any country in the capitul. He not only studied American institutions, but be studled our home life and MP particularly wus Interested In the caplrnl city. Hs wrote of Its- budding pittas, and of its architectural and lundfionpe beauties. He was as fond of writing of American matters us was ai>'i BUH IS his colleague In the corpi», J. J. Jusserand, the ambassador M France. Sir Cecil Sprlftg-Rlce. new dead, followed James B>yce In tho British embassy at Washington. He wns a close friend of Theodore Kooeevelt long before the colonel had become president, and long before Xhi baron Imd become ambassador. Sir Cecil SprtngBlce was succeeded in Washington *oy Lord Reading, the great English Jdrtst who now is viceroy of India. He was the first Jew ever appoints by Great Britain to the ambassadorial post In the United 8tates. That religion does not enter into British appointments Is shown perhaps not only by the Heading appointment but by that of Sir Esme Howard, who Is of an old Roman Catholic family of which the duke of Norfolk Is the head. Lord Reading to said to be one of the greatest lawyers which England ever produced, He never had had any diplomatic experience prior to the time that he was sent t;> Washington, and he made something of a record here, not only officially but by sheer force of his personality. He had a keen sense of humor. Fearlessness of the Readings. The writer of this when he was In the army during the war was ordered to France on the Mauretanla, which then was being used as a transport. Lord Reading had been summoned back to England for a conference and wus a passenger on the steamship and with him wns his wife. The Mauretanla, being a fast ship, went unescorted. Lady Reading was accompanied by her mnld and the two were the only women passengers on the preat ship which carried about 8,000 American troops. It was unquestionably a perilous voyage, for the Germans were looking for the big ships, but It was remnrked by the American officers on board that Lftfy Reading, and her maid showed themselves less concerned about danger thnn any of the other passengers. Lord Reading busied himself making friends with the American soldiers on the transport. He wns democratic and unassuming to the last degree. The British ambassador lives In a house on ConneL-tlcut avenue, directly scross the stn et from the Presbyterian church of the|Cov<?nnnt. In the middle of tu- sfeet In H little triangular plot of land there has been erected a n'.ntue to John WItherspoon. a Tresny'.*rinn divine nnd one of the signers of the Declaration of Independent.

It may well he that the fleet in Its war games will demonstrate the truth of the contentions of Representative Julius Kahn of California, chairman of the house military affairs committee, that the Panama canal, which he calls one oi the vital assets of the United States, 1» virtually defenseless. This condition, be urges, should be remedied promptly. "Representing, at the canal does, not merely an investment of so many hundreds of millions of dollars, but also an investment that cannot be computed In its potential value, It la essential that we take steps to remedy a situation in our national defense which can only grow worse with neglect," said Mr. Kahn. "A comparatively small investment, wbieb resulted in the construction of the original Erie canal, led to the growth of New York City to lta present size and waa a material factor in the expansion of the Middle West. Link of Two Continents, "What the Erie canal has meant to the growth of our great Middle Wwt, the Puna ma canal means to thv eontlmftts of North and South America. Through its Influence, we have been drawn Into chunnels of ever growing trade and these contacts are leading to the more delicate ones of diplomacy. American trade with the countries of South America has grown to a«pbJat where our exports to those countries represent close to half of what they buy from the wnole outside world. **\Ve are neglecting what has been one of the greatest factors In this expansion of commerce. The Panama canal. meant the impression of our Influence in the countries it affects and the consequent overshadowing of the commercial hold other countries had on those areas. "In that vast region known to most citizens of the United States simply as Latin America there are some twenty countries. Generally speaking, they are* near neighbors of ours. While Europe 1s admittedly still a good customer for us, the larger of the twenty nations comprising Central and South America cun also be large customers and have shown In the last few years that they want our business; we certainly should meet them halfway. "The backbone of this growing commerce should not he at the mercy of outside aggression from any quarter It Is our duty and our right to protect It, and the best protection not only for the United Stutes but for those southern republics, having practically a Joint Interest In the canal, is to make that waterway absolutely free from danger."

BEARDED KINGS OF ENGLAND iU\tai George Fellows Example of Edward the Peacemaker, His Father, Says London Paper. It Is rather odd that at a time when beards are so much out of fashion bis majesty King George should wear one. In this respect he follows the example of Edward the Peacemaker, his father, who was the flfst of our sovereigns to wear a beard during nearly 800 years. We must travel back In history as far as Charles I, before coming to another bearded king. He was the laat king, until what we call modern times, to wear a beard and "hln own hair." Indeed, when George III was on the throne no beard had been seen in England within living memory. Like the present king. Charles I seems to have copied his father. James I*s beard, too, had been In a way rather a noveltv, because his three Immediate predecessors had been a boy and two women. By the way, the predecessor and fa ther of these three, Henry VTn, the much-discussed and much-married Tudor monarch, broke the record of a fnirly long line of beardless kings by himself cultivating a beard, for none of his predecessors, from Henry V to Henry VII. wore a beard. All the Saxon kings favored beards, hut Willi am the Norman only wore a mustache, as did his sons and several of their successors on the throne. But Richard the Lion Heart made beards fnshlonahle again, for hts brother John. Henry III and the first three Edwards were all rnznr-shy. Indeed from 1080 to 1433 no clean-shaven king sat on the throne of England. « To sum up, since the Norman conquest there have been 13 beard-wearing klnes. 14 clean-shaven kings and 6 who shaved the chin, but not the upper Up.—London Answers.

The rebel gunboats fired tour shots. The i.rtillery stationed at the entrance to the fort replied and forced the rebel vessels to retire outside the range cf the guns. Then the rebel ships directed their fire against the suburb of Vaxadero, located to the left of the Panuco river, destroying several Chinese houses. How many of the occupants of these houses perished is not known. An airplane sent up to reconnoitre identified both the rebel boats. Immediately after the bombardment James B. Stewart, the American consul, informed the American embassy at Mexico City and the state department in Washington and requested instructions. Some of the populace, fearful lest the rebels ships again fire on the town, have left Tampico. The port is well protected by artillery. Representatives of American oil companies having properties in the Tampico region are urging the Washington government, through the U. S. embassy, to send warships to Tampico and Tuxpam to prevent the three blocadlng ships of the rebels from seizing American tankers, it was learned here. - Advices from, Tampico say that the rebels announced their intention of holding up all shipping to and from that port. Washington—Pursuing further its policy of support of the Obregon government of Mexico in that govern* ment's desperate fight to maintain itself against widespread revolution the state department laat week announced that it had approved the passage of Mexican federal troops through American territory. It is explained that the federal forces are to be transported from the frontier town of Naco, Arizona, to an unnamed point In Texas where they will re-enter Mexico moving to a region "where American lives and interests are being threatened with grave danger by the forces in revolt against the Mexican government. ATTACK ON AUTO TAXES MADE Congress Told Car Owner Is Subjected To Numerous Levies. Washington—An attack on the retention of the war taxes of five per cent on automobiles, trucks, tires, accessories and repair parts was made before the ways and means committee of the house by representatives of the auto industry and automobile users. The tax OQ autos is discriminatory because the owner of a car has to pay as many as seven taxes on it, if he lives In the city, with four possible additions if he lives out in the country. Besides the four taxes levied on him when he buys a car, tires, accessory or spare part, he is also subject to seven local taxes. These are: State license fees, city license fees, state gasoliae tax, which is collected in 38 states, state personal property tax, city personal property tax, state or city's drovers' license, and the state title registration fee. In some cases, the counties add three more taxes by duplicating the license, gas and personal taxes. DIRIGIBLE'S VICTORY PRAISED Naval Officers See In Battle With Gale Evidence of Stability.

This is the time of the year for orchardists to be doing necessary things in the orchard to increase fruit production for next year. Of these, pruning the trees is one thing demanding first attention. R. F. Puyne, extension horticulturist for the North Carolina State college and department of agriculture gives some simple suggestions for pruning the apple trees. He states first that this pruning must be done after the leaves fall and before the buds open in the spring. During this dormant season the tree is bare and it is easier for the operator to see Just what he is doing. Mr. Payne's suggestions about how to prune are as follows: "The primary object of pruning is for fruit production, therefore the proper amount of wood must be produced. After the tree has reached bearing age. no attempt should be made to shape It as the period of training the tree is the first four years after It 1B planted. Heavy pruning should never be practiced during the period of fruit production. The practice will throw the tree out of the production of fruit into the production of wood, which is very undesirable. "In pruning apples, all dead and diseased limbs should be removed, cross-, lng branches should be removed or headed In, closely parallel branches should be taken out, rangy branches should be cut back, and the new growth that is not needed should be removed. "The ends of the branches should not be stubbed back as this causes an excess of laterals on the branch In the vicinity of the wound, and less sunlight will be admitted. Where a whole branch is to be removed It should be taken out back to the parent branch. If the branch Is growing too long and it must be headed back, the end should ,be taken out back to a lateral. "Moderate dormant pruning is recommended as it gives the proper balance between the carbohydrates, nitrates and moisture which are essential to maximum fruit production. All fruiting wood should be conserved as fruit production Is the main object now. Pruning wounds should not be painted or treated in any way as they heal more quickly If left untreated. Stubs should never be left as this will often result in loss of the tree by decs*." •"PHERE is no reason why 70a should suffer from 1 constipation. Headaches, biliousness, sleepless nights, heaviness, are nature's warning that intestinal poisons are flooding your system, if allowed to continue, you may become a victim of Ice Supply Is Necessary for High Quality Milk In the production and marketing of high-quality milk and cream a supply of Ice on the furro Is almost a necessity, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Proper cooling and cold storage Is said to be the greatest single factor Influencing the bacterial content of milk from the time It leaves the cow until it reaches the consumer. The department says that farmers Should, if possible, put up at least 1¼ tons of Ice In the North and two tons in the South, for every cow In the milking herd. This will provide for cooling the milk, allow for melting, and provide a little surplus for household use. In winter, when work is not pressing on the farm, a little time spent In anticipation of the ice harvest will pay good returns. During this season old Ice houses may be repaired and all the necessary equipment for harvesting Ice provided. In constipation, any intestinal specialists, lies the primary cause of more than three>quarters of all ill* including the gravest ctimaim of life. .MSUWHSSS ^lg0iS9gS?

The mash seems to he particularly good in raising the hatchabillty and fertllitjbof eggs.

Campaign for Better Live Stock Is Shown British Farmers Taught Advantages of Pure Breds. <Pr«p*r«d by tba Unit*J S I U M D»p»rtm«nt of Agriculture.) That the United States Department of Agriculture and the various states are not alone in carrying on a campaign for better live'stock is shown by results collected by the bureau of animal Industry. The ministry of agriculture for England and Wales has been working for nine years on a "Live Stock Scheme" which is a combination of the "Better Sires—Better Stock" campaign, co-operative bull associations, cow-testing associations and register of merit of the United State*. British farmers are being shown the advantages of using pure bred sires and the ministry of agriculture also is giving them financial assistance to enable them to use the improved methods of stock raising. The "scheme" is now operating in practically every county of England and Wales. The latest report shows 831 societies and one Individual using 747 bulls; and 88 societies and 451 individuals using 569 boars. This is an increase of 106 societies and 100 bulls over the previous year's enrollment. One large dealer in Yorkshire says that he believes that cattle values in his district have Increased fully $13-20 per head as a result of the work done by the British government. The same plan is being applied to the improvement of sheep and light horses. Reports from countries in Europe, South America, Asia and Africa, where various methods for improving live stock are being used, also show a general activity in this field. The work is prompted, it is believed, by a growing recognition of the economic value of well-bred live Btock. Chinch Bug Campaign Is Necessary to Save Crops Chinch bugs, like other Insects, as every farmer knows, do not do the same amount of damage every year Rather they appear periodically in large numbers. The reason for this Is not difficult to understand. After the chinch bugs have Increased In numbers for a period of years, parasites that live on them also become more numerous. Thus by the time the latter have become very numerous the parasites also become so numerous that they almost completely kill off the chinch bugs, and then we see little more of them for several years, or until they have had time to recuperate. When the chinch bugs have been destroyed, the parasites have nothing on which to live and they die off, which. In turn, again gives bugs full sway for a period of years, unless roan steps In and destroys them. According to all indications, unless farmers put on a chinch hug campaign this winter the crops—small grains as well as corn— will be seriously injured next year. The* Individual farmer can do very little toward chinch bug extermination. Effective work can be done only through the co-operation of the farmers in whole communities.

Fertilizer Great Help to Grower of Potatoes Esrl F. Miller, according to announcement, leads all other members of the Jay county potato club, with a yield of 418.4 bushels of potatoes per acre. His methods, which may be of Interest to other growers, are as follows: For seed, he used certified Rural New Yorkers, his soil being a sandy loam. The seed was treated with formaldehyde. He applied 600 pounds per acre of a 2-12-6 fertiliser. One section of the field was left unfertilised. Tieids were estimated from the weights of potatoes dug in representative sections of the fertilised and unfertilised areas. The potatoes receiving 600 pounds ef 2-12-6 fertilizer, averaged 418.4 bushels per acre. Those from the unfertilised section averaged 194.6 bushels per sere 1 A Standard for 90 Years.

Collaborators Give Opinions on Own Play Disciple of Bossuet and Moliere, dramatic author and theologian—a rare enough combination—David Augustin Brueys, who died 200 years ago, November 26, 1723,r collaborated long and consistently with his friend, Palaprat, says a translation from Le Petit Parisien of Paris, France. Together they wrote many plays, some of them failures, others successes, among which was a little masterpiece called "Grondeur," which la still played. Speaking of this play, Brueys once remarked: "The first act Is entirely mine. It Is excellent. The second has been marred by a few scenes by Palaprat. It Is mediocre. The third Is wholly Polaprat's. It Is very hud." Palaprat considered the play other wise—exactly otherwise. That Is how collaboration was understood 200 yeiirs ago and how, with out doubt, It Is understood toduy,— Kansas City Star.

P . Lewie, of the horticultural d e p a r t m e n t at the Michigan Agricultural CoHefe. Careful planning and p r o p e r care, of the farm garden will supply fresh fjpffetables throughout the entire growing .season, an i m p o r t a n t consideration which many f a r m e r s are not giving attention according; to Lewis. '/ "In order to obtain the best use of the land, and have a continuous supply of vegetables, it is essential that the garden be planned carefully in adv »inee,"says Lewis. **In this way the work of planting and caring for the garden may be g r e a t l y simplified. **One of the first things' to consider is the a r r a n g e m e n t which will reduce the labW to a minimum. T h e vegetables .sluiuld be grouped accordingly, to their euitural methods and tiie number of plantings made as small as is consistent with the t e m p e r a t u r e rei| i. iremeuts of the various crops. "•One of the most important points in n well planned garden is the p r o - vision for continuous supply. This is accomplished in two w a y s : first, by m i k i n g successive plantings of the same variety, and second, by planting early, intermediate, and late varieties at the same time, "'For example, plantings of Golden Bantam sweet corn may be made t w o weeks apart, for Mammoth White Cob, Golden Bantam and Evergreen may be planted at the same time. In the same way such crops as peas, lottuce, onions, cabbage and beans may he made to1 cover the entire growing sesaon. ''Another cause of failure in the home garden is the use of poor seed or the indiscriminate selection of suitable varieties. In the well planned garden tlie choice of varieties is carefully made far in advance so that the seed may be secured from a reliable source he fore planting time.'" • > * . « * ' J First State and Savings Rank i*4s flta T ' Q High Percentage of m% fe M. > v • • • » * / Egg t i t uction LiVi" &i' :&• %-r* mt m^ in winter when eggs are high in price, is what you want and get when you feed Domino Scratch Feed Domino Laying Mask with Buttermilk Mineral Feed, such as Oyster Shells Dr. Hess Poultry Panacea Flecks Poultry Panacea Hardware STATE'S BEST TO BE SHOWN AT GRAIN SHOW Michigan's best seeds and grains will be shown in the annual Crop Improvement Association Show, which is to be one of the features of exhibits at <he M.

PISO'cSo u nti ls Out of extremes moderation Is achieved, Kays a fashion authority In the N«w York Times, So from the wildest extravagance* and Incongruities of Egyptian and other far distant origins have been evolved the refreshing youthful silhouettes, the blender lines and toe classic ensemble. And In these t U rarest fabrics, the most splendid n^tul and silk brocades appear in patterns inspired by great works of 4rt, expressed in all the beautiful colors ever known. No woman could look unlovely in them. In dress of this type are embodied classic ideals in lines, materials and harmonies of coloP. As a result of radical remodeling, the curveless onepiece frock, whether made of blue uerge for morning street wear or of rainbow tinted silver tissue for evening, is a garment of dignity, beauty and importance. Its^ variants are countless. It is as enchanting in finely plaited white chiffon, snowy and soft, as when the same model is done in the most bizarre metal cloth splashed across with colors. When a simple, plain-colored fabric is used, the unhfken line of the chemise frock is made lntu a brilliant costume, with added motifs in brilliants, feathers, fur, metal lace and other most lovely luxuries. After the straight frock began to be monotonous the feeling for something more interesting was'evident in the softening of lines, the drawing of curves, the lifting of length to create drapery and the dropping of skirts to add grace. The evolved evening gown was built In a manner to match dignity of design with quality and type of material, and nothing more charming has ever been shown by the prominent style creators. Generally Satisfactory. "Ensemble" expresses one of the most satisfactory costumes of the season. The three-piece suit known heretofore was a ciunisy affair which, being all cloth, appeared always to be too heavy or not heavy enough for late autumn street wear. When It reappeared this season it presented a gown of satin or crepe with a practical wrap of cloth and fur, the Idea of ensemble being maintained by lining the •coat with the stiff? of the dress. It has gone so well that the model is redone In more elaborate form for evening and la designed in lighter materials for southern resort wear and early spring weather. The fur trimming is nlmost universal. A frock of satin or crepe receives a richer appearance with bands of fur of even the narrowest measurement, and in some of the late models of straight silhouette a wide band of fur •"borders the skirt. This Is used with profusion on the, wrap that accompanies the frock, and one seldom sees now a coat that Is without a lavish display of fur. Another type of* dress that shows a (narked evolution Is the sport suit. There Is not nowadays anything hit-or- I With daring and assurance the leading j creators of 1'aria have preseuted the most lui]>ortunt styles in models of elaborate simplicity and grace, done In splendid fabrics, beautiful colors and detail of much interest. Uuheard of combinations have been successfully achieved with the use of rich brocade*, velvets, fur, metals, laces and gauxy tissues. And the proof of their value is the appreciative response of cultl- ! vated taste, for women of today are discriminating. With a sure touch the folk crafts of old countries are used Co ornament the, latest achievements of the loom, and peasant-woven woolen embroiders the sheerest spun silks. That these extremes are made to meet with results wholly artistic is a tribute to the talent and skill that are given to the subject of dress, and the important place It has come to have In the estimate of artists of the highest standing. One style of dress that has needed no argument for Its presentation is the "period" costume. Nothing has Voout of Red Pox Featured in Black Broadcloth Coat. miss or nondescript about the sport togs of persons of fashion. They have a style .of their own, striking, picturesque, suitable and comfortable. The latest outfits, breeches, sweaters, kid jackets, boots and scarfs, are stunning—extremes done with masterful skill and artistry. The woven and knitted sweater-blouses, waistbands and scarfs, in the striped, plaid and zig-zag patterns, are gay, chic affairs aird are' the high lights in the most successful expression of costume in the entire wardrobe. The modem version of the homely old-time knit goods is present, and the attraction of the homespuns and English material* that are best adapted to this sort of costume. Dinner and Dance Frocks. The dinner gowns and dHnce frocks nf this sen SOL are among the most artistic costumes, and match in beauty «nd grace the models of earlier times. Ensemble in Copenhagen Blue 1« Bordered With Otter. ever expressed better the subtlety anrl charm of the swish of silken ?';lrls and more beauty Is suggested by the skirt of many folds than Is revealed by the clinging lines of scant drapery, designed long ago, the quaint frock with plain, tight bodice, the neck outlined with n demure hertha, a walsi line unexnggerated and wide and full skirts have come back to fuscinate the belle of today and to give her a coil scious air of something that bears the stamp of tradition. Every girl loves to wear this -dress reminiscent of the crinoline period. While It graces every one, only an occasional woman appears In it with ease and distinction. This season some of the most prominent modistes and the most exclusive shops in New York have featured the period dress, depending upon material und color for whatever variants they have offered, and its popularity continues undlrain Ished. The new crisp taffetas In plain colors and the "shot" silks are entrancing In these full-petticoated frocks, and a bertha of real lace Is never seen to better advantage. One model which will have an enduring picture value is made of btnek chiffon velvet, the collar of old rose point pinned with an old brooch of seed pearls. Long medallion earrings mutch brooch and necklace, and a cluster of gardenias is fastened nt one side of the belt. Nothing in the styles of the present day Illustrates more happily and truly the elegance and beauty of the dress of earlier times. Elimination of Barbarities. In Just what manner the styles of today will develop, which way they will be swayed by fashion and fancy, cannot be foreseen. But that they have now a place of increasing Importance in the world of art and convention Is quite plain. And whatever of folly, extravagance or lack of taste or propriety api>ears In the present modes, we have come a long way in the elimination of some barbarities that will not likely be seen again. Kor now that tight stays and collars, Louis Qulnze heels for walking, and skirts that sweep the pavement are no longer fashionable, they are certainly obsolete and their extreme opposites that arid so much to the Joy and comfort of life will endure. The style of wearing street gloves with the cuffs turned down over the hand has resulted In special designs in the finish of the lining which adds much to the appearance of the glove. Because of this fad the cuff lining is strikingly emphasised and has become more Important than the ornamentation of the outside covering. In some Instances it is literally a "silver lining" of silvered kid or cioth of silver or stitching done with silver Uasei thresdT^ Ike KITCHEN CABINET iQ. HUV Wcalirn .N'ew»p*pcr Union.)

Prwaldenl Qre*r Collet* ut Automotive Englneerinc. Chicago ) it Is to be confessed, at the beginning, that my discourse la not directed at all drivers, but at a comparatively small number of motorist* with driving experience which should have taught them better, whose handling of their cars leaves, in my opinion, something to be deal red. Ladles, don't loll. It U distressing to see even a mere man sprawled out behind a steering wheel, but far more so In the case of a woman. The woman who holds herself well has a way of making; a good impression wherever she may be, and this applies equally whether she Is driving a car or sitting at a dinner table. What Men Will Think. Don't take advantage of the fact that you are a woman, because, though most men drivers will make way for you even when you are in the wrong, they will think the less of you while they do so. And there are some men who will insist upon their "rights" as motor car drivers. Should you encounter this last named species j there la likely to be a crash. Don't think about the possible Impression you may be making upon other road users. Attend strictly to the business in band, ^here still exists In the minds of a good many people an idea that It Is not safe for women to drive automobiles. Do your best to destroy this false impression by handling your car with care and consideration for others. Don't Imagine that other drivers will unnecessarily stare at you. If they do, it will be not because they are admiring you, but because you have done something that has made them doubtful of your ability to drive. Show them that you are mistress of the art. Don't Be Careless. Don't shave things. Leave that trick to the barber. Good drivers give other vehicles clearance. Don't drive carelessly over wet streets. A hole full of water may not mean much to you, but to the pedestrian who receives In his face the water ejected from the hole by your tire, It Is a mutter of moment—damnable moments. Remember the time that you were spattered with mud. And If you must speed, buy a racing car. Those things were built especially for people who have nowhere to go and who want to get there In a hurry. Now pass this little article on to friend Imsband—that he, too, may read and gain driving wisdom thereby.

When Jefferson Davis became *>eeYelary of war In 1853 he determined to form a regiment which would be the best in the urmy. Remembering the tradition of the army, which, from the close of the War of 1812 had sent to Jeffersou Barracks the most promising young fleers in the army, he organized at hat post the Second cavalry, later innwD as "Jeff Davis' pet." The colonel of the regiment was Albert Sidney Johnston and its lieutenant- colonel was Robert K. Lee, destined for fame as two of Davis' greatest Civil war generals. At the same time there was organized there the First regiment of cavalry with Edwin V. Sumner (later u Union general) as colonel and Joseph K. Johnston (of Bull Run fame) as lleutenunt-colonel. In fuct these two regiments gave to the Union and Confederate armies no less-than 30 generals, among them such men as John Sedgwick, W. J. Hardee. W. H. Emory, George Stoneman, K. D.

Why One Cannot See So Well in Glaring Light An ohservant chauffeur, passing an automobile with glaring headlights, noted that objects at the side of the road which had been distinctively visible dropped out of sight when the bright 11 giits were thrown upon them. Since one can see better in a little light than In no light, he wondered, why can one not see better In bright light than in moderate light? The answer is, paradoxically, that the less light there Is the better one Bees, for the brighter the object the less efficient Is the eyesight. If, after we have been in darkness, we suddenly turn on a bright light and look at our eyes In the mirror, we can see the pupil of the eye rapidly growing smalTer. If we reduce the light the pupil dilates again. What happens Is the same as in the camera when we adjust the shutter to the intensity of the light. The colored Iris of the eye corresponds to the shutter, It consists chiefly of a muscle which, as the light Increases, is stimulated to contract, thus drawing the curtain and shutting out some of the superfluous light. It usually takes a few seconds for this adjustment to take place. Thus when we emerge from darkness into light we are blinded until the Iris can shut out some of the light from the eyes.

Jefferson Barracks also saw organized the original "roilfch riders" long before the days of Theodore Roosevelt and Snn Juan hill. During President Van Buren's administration the Seminole Indians became troublesome and the President asked the governor of Missouri to raise two regiments of mounted Missourlans, frontiersmen all, to serve against the Semlnoles. From all parts of the state these horsemen poured In to St. Louis and under the leadership of General Gentry and Col. John W. Price they were organized at Jefferson Barracks and acquitted themselves brilliantly In Florida. Jefferson Barracks was established* In 1820, as Cantonment Adams (in honor of President John Qutncy Adams), and during its existence of nearly a century has been an Important military rendezvous in all of Uncle Sara's wars from the Mexican to the World war. Fill Grease Gun Properly As In most other things, there is a correct and an Incorrect way of filling a grease gun, and unless the job is properly done, a pretty sad mess results. Remove the nozzle of the gun and then push the piston down as you feed the grease in with a wooden paddle of some kind. If the piston works hard, pull it down an Inch, fill the space with grease and pull the piston down again, repeating until the gun Is filled. The suction of the plsteo will draw the grease down so that the vacant space can be filled without difficulty. RADIO-CHAUFFEUR ON AUTO AT ILLINOIS TST Now it Is the radio automobile.

T h e F o r t T h a t W a s Built o n a " S c r a p o f P a p e r " On September 8, 1818, a young lieutenant of the American army, Thomas Hamilton, found himself In a desperate predicament. Outside Fort Madison, a little fortification on the lows shore of the Mississippi river, swarmed hundreds of hostile Indians who had been besieging him for nearly a month. Any attempt to escape would be perilous but* to hold the fort meant the massacre of his men, If the savages carried the fort by assault. Starvation, too, faced them, for their provisions were exhausted. So Hamilton ordered a trench dug down to the river's edge where boats were moored. That night they crept down to the water, undiscovered by the enemy because of the blackness of the night and a high wind which was blowing. When the last man left the fort, he set Are to It and as Hamilton's force psddled out Into the current of the Mississippi the buildings roared into flames. The Indians pursued but Hamilton had too much start and be reached S t Louis in safety. Thus ended the brief history of « fort which was built upon a "scrap of paper." In 1803 Gen. James Wilkinson sent Lieut. Zebulon Pike to select a post between St, Louis and Prairie du Chlen, Wis. Pike chose a place on the west side of the Mississippi some 40 miles above the mouth of the Des Moines river. A treaty made with the Sac and Fox Indians the previous year had specifically prohibited the govern , roent from building forts on the west side of the river. As In many other cases, the government regarded this treaty as a "scrap of paper" and In 1808 Lieut Alpha Klngsley of the First Infantry began building the fort, com* pleted It the next year and named It Fort Madison in honor of President I James Madison. Lieutenant Hamilton came there In September, 1812, with s force of BO ^ u e n and Immediately afterwards the ftort was attacked hy 200 Wlnnebagoes, who were ald^d by a young Sac war: I rlor named Blsck Hawk, who was on l his first warpath against the Ameri- f ran*. From that time Fort Madison '• was repeatedly attacked and besieged, ] nntll at last Hamilton abandoned It. ' It was never rebuilt and all that remained for many years to mark Its site J was a stone chimney which survived ] the Are. The chimney Ister crumbled and fell but a few years ago It was ; restored by the women of the city of j Fort Madison which grew up on the site of the old fort Tt now stands as a monument to a thrilling episode in Iowa history as welt as to the trajk sequel of a broken promise. ft fa • \ It's a Brute forWearf TWO thousand times for every mile you walk — your overshoes or boots are bent and wrinkled I If s these strains— repeated day in and day out—that break the ordinary rubber overshoe or boot.

Mrs. l-'r;ink Watters received :i clipping from the Clinton county Republican News: "Seven years and seven diiy.s elapsed between Christmas Day, 1917, and New Year's Day, 1925 and that was the period which Claude Black, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Black, of 102 N. Oakland St. was absent from his home. Incidentally, during those seven years he has sailed the seven seas, which is another way of saying that he has been all over the world on Uncle Sam's merchant marine. For a period of three years beginning in 1918 and after failing in numerous attempts to get into service during the war, Claude's trips took him to every coast country in Europe except Holland and Denmark. For the last three years has been on one ship making Black Sea ports. Seventeen he has passed thrqugh the Straits of Gibraltar. Numerous Chinese, Japanese as well as northern African ports have been touched. He has been as far south as Buenos Aires and as far north as Finland. One trip took him entirely around the world and into thirty-seven ports. Always a student, "Blackie," as he was always called in high school and "dev 1" days in St. Johns newspaper offices, finds a keen delight in studying conditions and the people of the various countries he has visited. Particularly fascinating has he found the people and conditions surrounding Russia. His sh:p makes regulai trips to Vissian ports on the Black Sea loaded largely with American agricultural implements and on the return trip br'ngs manganese ore to this country. Asked A give his opinion of conditions in Russfc he demurred. "I have been in Black Sea ports for three years and would not hazard a guess at real conditions in Russia," he said, "I will say that I believe people in America have no conception of what exists in Russia. From surface ind'eations, I would think that Russian conditions are vastly improved. However, one must remember the sine of the country and its varied population, the years of intrigue and suppression, the peculiar resultant temper of the inhabitants. No one can say with any degree of accuracy what theTuture of Russia will be." Shore Ie'aves In the Orient have impressed Mr. Black with the possibilit e s of the yellow race.

PLAYS THAT MAKE THE MAN Lloyd Hughes, the handsome and talented young man who plays the hiiding part in "Judgment of the Storm," the first Palmer Photoplay Corporation production, showing In I'inckney, Saturday night, Jan. 30th, rides to fame upon the crest of a wave of good fortune in the way of exceptional photoplay roles. Having by his personality and acting ability won the honor o#appearing opposite Mary Pickford in her second version of "Tess of the Storm Country," the part that Harold Lockwood played in the orignial version—he was next engaged to play the leading role in the first Palmer play, a role that gives him wonderful opportunities to show his true worth. In that exceptional combination—a famous roi^vfoHowed by one in which he has such dramatic opportunities— lies Mr. Hughes' good fortune. One has only to see his work , as "John Trevor" in Judgment of the Storm" to realize beyond the shadow of ft doubt not only his charming personality but the consummate art of his acting. In Mrs. MJddleton's great origin-' nl story he is enabled to run the gamut of dramatic expression. He begins as young man of wealth who is attempting to write, and is later a veritable slave on a little farm. He sentences himself to hard labor for life in atonement for acts of his mother, and in a great moment of the play he must .choose between his mother's life and the lives of two children. And he is a lover through it all, winning back in the end the beautiful girl whose loYe he lost in the beginning. Lucille Ricksen plays the role of the girl. — • o MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND The man will repair, adjust and instruct in the use of Primrose Cream Separators.

Tigert, commissioner of education Of the Department of the Interior. T h e Statement foildWs lu |>urt: I m r l a g t b e yeur there were enrolled to the public, elementary and high schools 25,000,00) pupils, of whom about 8,500,000 were in -the high schools; there were enrolled In the private and parochial schools about 2,000,000, with 500,000 la the secondary schools; universities and colleges enrolled over 700,000 s t u d e n t s ; the teachers' college* and normal schools enrolled 300,000 pupils, of whom about 40,000 were students in the secondary s t a g e ; business colleges and commercial schools enrolled ,Hf>U,0lJ0 students. T h e average dally attendance In public, high and elementary schools was In the vicinity of 20,700,000 pupils. These enrollments can be best appreciated when compared with the year 1900, for example. In the twenty-four years since 1000 attendance in the public elementary schools has Increased 44 per c e n t ; In the public high schools, 574 per cent ; in the colleges and universities, 272 per cent, and In the leachers' colleges and nurmul schools, 274 i>er cent. Very naturally, these enormous Increases in attendance have involved a corresponding Increase In cost. It Is estimated that Lhe educational bill iu 1024 amounted to $l,«UU.0O0.0OO. In the held of rural education, w here progress has always been slowest, there has been a tendency to supplant untrained and nonprofessional admin Istratlve officials with those who have been fitted by special training for their task. More than 25 per cent of the states raised their standard for certificates during the year. Hural teachers" salaries increased <>n an average of $100. T h e term was considerably lengthened, and there was a corresponding inert ase in average dally attendance. In the neighborhood of 1,000 school consolidations were made. Expenditures for transportation increased $3,r>0O,000, and about 5,000 one-room schools were closed hecause of the coming of more adequate consolidated schools. i'ublic education in the cities was marked by the most extensive building program ever yet attempted.

T h e total state collections TI B legal right of President Coolidge to uppolnt a commission unless congress authorizes it has been challenged by Martin B. MaddeA, chairman of the appropriations committee of the house, and that committee has turned down White House requests for $275,000 to pay the expenses of the St. Lawrence commission, and for $50,000 to pay traveling and other expenses of the agricultural commission. When a deficiency bill WHS reported to the house, the appropriation committee announced that it was unable to approve lhe two recommendations' becsuse they were "propositions of major importance for which there 1H apparently not sufficient substantive law to bring (hen) within the Jurlsdlction of the committee." Mr, siadden's attitude toward the St. Lawrence commission appropriat i o n was Indicated when Brig. den. IStlger J a d w l n . assistant to the chief of engineers, appeared before a subcommittee of the appropriations committee. T h e general started out to read a memorandum showing that the President hRd appointed the commission, headed by Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, but. Sir Madden demanded: "What authority granled the right to uppoint the commission on which Mr. Hoover served'.'" " T h e President appointed it," General Jadwin replied. "Where was the law?" countered Mr. Madden. Lat»r Mr. Madden stated that the only legal authorization for funds to study the St. Lawrence waterway was tinder the International joint commission, "and that report must he made to congress. The President has no legal authority to appoint u enrunis sion unless congress authorizes it.'' The letter from Mr. Coolldge asking for $50,000 for the agricultural commission stated that the members had agreed to work for nothing. And lie said : "I feel that as the services they are rendering the 'government are in the Interest of the whole people of this nut ion, the government should pay their expenses while engaged on this task." Robert D. Carey, one of the members, told the committee that as two members lived In California, two In Minnesota, two In Wyoming, two In Pennsylvania, one In New York, and one in Kansas, every time they came to Washington and returned about $1,000 In railroad fares was heedeci; through the house with the same ! were $11,261,282.29, of which the speed that m a r k e d the passage of the I counties received $5,623,232.15.

Lowden in a speech before the co-operntlve marketing conference, "sUall he replaced by the peasant and All that the peasant Implies, then resign yourselves to marketing condi (Ions so unfair, so unscientific, so largely based on speculative greed that it makes a large crop worth less In the aggregate than n small crop.

Is It any wonder farmers lost fflllh In the present method of marketing farm products when they saw 1923 corn marketed at n price below the price of production?" A few minutes after F a r m e r Lowden had finished President Calvin Coot- Idge backed him up. F a r m e r Coolidge agreed with him, saying: "Firmly as I believe In the broadest and soundest programs of co-operative marketing, 1 want to make plain that I nm no blind believer in any magical attribute of the co-operative proceed Ing. A good deal that Is positively mischievous has bees> put about In this regard. T h e r e is a school of co-operntors who seem to believe that the program can be started at the top and built downwnrd. They want the government, or the banks, or philanthropists, or Providence, to lay out a scheme big enough to cover the country, set its machinery moving, guarantee it all needed capital, and then invite the farmers to sit in the places reserved for them and proceed to garner their profits. "I offer no such Aladdln-Ilke project. "I want to see society as a whole help, but I want to see the farmers do their share, and I warn them that this will be the lion's share." The first steps the President thinks co-operators should take are (1) establishment of grades anu standards, (2) encouragement of good and elimination of poor varieties, (U) inrrease in the eftickney of production, (4) provision of a unified product adapted to Its market, (5) organization of distribution, nnd (0) creation of confidence In products and methods. Coolidge and Curtis Win by One Vote THEY «re still talking about the closeness of the vote by which the President's veto of the postal employees' pay raise bill was sustained by the senate. Fifty-five senators voted to override the veto and twenty-nine to sustain it. T h e snipporters of the bill lacked one vote of the two-thirds majority required to make trie measure n law without t h e signature of the President. T^he prestige of Mr. Coolidge in this first test of his leadership since his triumphant election was maintained by virtue of the support of the veto by several "lame duck' Uepubllcans and by severs! Democrats, some of whom executed an irhout-face on the pay-raise measure in order to make its defeat certain. The Democrats io whom the President Is Indebted for his victory are Senator* Ulal. King, IIWPB and Shields. Had any of them failed him the President would have been beaten. Mr. Dial voted for the pay-raise bill last May, hot voted to sustain the veto en the final vote, o t h e r s who voted f a r tha pay r a i s e originally but aa g e * front in order to defeat it by portt&g t h e veto, were Senators Kail, Barannij Cameron.

Every ounce of Vnfluence the administration possesses was exerted to prevent the veto from being overridden So palpable were the efforts of the White House to line up votes that the administration was taunted on the floor of the senate with allusions to Coolidge breakfast parties nnd the of ficlal plums witb which the faithful would expect to be rewarded. T h e leadership not < nly of the President but of Senator Curtis (Kep. K a m O . t h e new majority leader of the senate, was at stake in the contest, they aver. Senator Curtis won his first fight, but by such a squeak that he was visibly trembling in his chair s* the roil w a s culled. With this postal pay bill dead, the administration leaders immediately annonneed that they would press the Moses bill providing for wage increases for postal employees and for a 1804)00,000 postal rate advance to produce the additional revenue which will be required for the higher compensation. gasoline tax m e a s u r e in the senate.

FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of " H E A L T H " CATARACT THE eye is a photographic camera, or, rather, the camera is an Imitation of the eye. T h e light rays enter the camera through the lens and fall on the film or plate. The same arrangement exists in the eye. The eyelids are the s h u t t e r s ; the crystalline lens is the focusing machinery; the retina is the plate. If the lens in your camera became cloudy or opaque, you couldn't tuke a picture. If anything happens to the crystalline lens In the eye so that the light cannot pass through it, 'then that eye cannot see, because no light can reach the retina. | The old C r e e k s and Romans thought ' that vision wus located in the lens, j When It became thickened and white, j they thought that water had fallen down In front of the lens, so they called this waterfall by its Greek ! name, c a t a r a c t . We now know that this thickening is not in front of the i lens but in the lens itself or in the capsule or envelope which surrounds It. This thickening of the lens often occurs in old age. J u s t why the lens ; thickens in old age we do not know. ' It may be one of the changes due to age, like gray hair. But many old people never have cataract. It is sometimes found in young children. It may be caused by other conditions* such as diabetes, Brlght's disease, poisoning, injury or eyestrain. It is especially frequent in persons exposed to high degrees of heat, such as glass blowers and furnace workers. It is sometimes hereditary. In the beginning the clear, transparent lens becomes spotted, or streaked with white bands, the vision is weak- j ened or the patient may see double.4 or may see black specks. One peculiar I symptom is t h a t the patient can see belter in the twilight than he can In bright daylight. T h e white spots and bands slowly increase, the pupil becomes white and the patient gradually becomes blind. • Cataract may affect one or both eyes or It may attack the eyes successively. It may become stationary at any time, leaving the sight impaired but still present to a considerable degree, or it may rapidly develop In both eyes until the patient is completely blind. Cataract does not destroy sight. It forms a light-proof shutter In the front of the eye. If the thickened and useless lens is removed, sisht con be restored. This Is done by the eye surgeon, who nicks the conjunctiva, which covers the eyeball, cuts through the envelope which surrounds the lens and pops the hardened lens out through the opening Just as the cook pops peas out of their pods. But tills cannot be dona successfully until the c a t a r a c t is "clpe," t h a t is, until the lens is hard enough to pop out In one piece. If done too soon. It won't come out clean; If too late, It may have grown fast. The eye surgeon can tell when the right time comes. When the cntaract Is removed, the llghf cun get Into the eye. But the patient can't focus. So he has to have artificial lenses In the form of glasses to focus the light ra.vs on the retina.

T h e reports of these rnses in the newspapers have again aroused doubt In the public mind- Are ripe olives n dangerous food? A series of cases of botulism during 1919 and 192() had a marked effect on the purchase and consumption of ripe olives. The California fruit and vegetable growers and canners did everything In their power to traprove, and safeguard their goods. They asked the help of the state and national health authorities. They spent large sums for experts. They Improved their methods of canning. They did every thing possible to reassure the public. With the reassurance, millions of cans of ripe olives have been purchased and eaten. T h r e e cases of poisoning in a year is. of course, a very small number. But what the individual purchaser and housewife w a n t s tj know i s : "How can I knnw that I am not going to get one of these three deadly c a n s ? " To answer this question, the bureau of chemistry of he Department of Agriculture has made a second survey, which has Just been reported in the December Issue of the American Journal of Public Health. Nearly 3.000 sample cans of olives put up by 20 packers from 30 s t a t e s were examined. Spoiled or suspicious cans were not confined to any particular packer or to any special locality. Spoiled samples included those whose contents were off color or had a • u s p i c l o u s smell, where the olives were soft or the liquid tolnrecf. In some cases, the cans were rusty or corroded Inside, bulged or contained gas. Some of these cans hnd remained on the dealers* shelves for several years. Summing up their fndings t h e government experfs say that canned ripe olives that a r e free from odor, softening or discoloration, and where the cans a r e not bulged out, are not dangerous. * Don't buy a n y canned ripe olives unless t h e y e a r of packing Is m a r k e d on the can. If the olives are soft, discolored or have a suspicious odor, tkrow fhettt out Don't take aay A crowd Is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, w h e r e there Is no love.

Its history Is connected in the old "Chinook" or trading languuge, but the origin of the term "bit" goes back even farther than that. A "fipenny bit" (five-penny bit) was real1\ the 12¾ cent unit derived from the old fjnanlsh real or one-eighth of a dollar, long Used for computation and pricing tn New Orleans, California and most lescoist towns. The United States never had a 12Vi-cent coin of Its own, but ts this day a quarter or 25-cent piece is commonly spoken of as "two bjta." The name "flpenny bit" or flvepanny bit obviously was derived from a rafaitsnce to the British and American colonial penny, which was worth a fraction mors than two cents of Canadian money. foe Much Inspiration , 4 poet st a window, a brunette cams along.

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. . . .

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." Peter's entire fsce Ht up st this incautions betrayal He pounced upon It at once, "Unhappy, are y o u r he asked. T h a t makes i t simpler." Ha faced her mockingly. 1 bat yoa'ra half scared," ha aaid, "and wtaMag goa dklnt hare to go throagh with It* 'There's soanthlng roa 4aat her. "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.

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. To protect human beings from possible accidental contact with the acid bath, the liquid is placed In a widemouthed bottle, to which 1B attached « funnel with a very hroa 1 flaring cone. The light Is suspended directly over this funnel, and the Insects, stupefied by the acid fumes, fall Into it and so Into the a d d 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.

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.

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.

How much work does the average farmer do in growing an acre of corn? A survey of 821 farms in Ohio throws some light upon this question. Farmers operating hilly farms require 57.2 man-hours to grow an acre of corn. On prairie land 41.8 hours were required. In another county on level soil the average man-hours were 38.5.

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.

Trump declared that last week there were approximately 15,000 freight cars, filled to the very doors with commodities and raw material, consigned to Detroit industries, stand* ing idle on terminals, and that the situation must improve at once and substantially or Detroit will be virtually shut off from the outside world for a time, A" number of factories have been barred from receiving further shipments until they unload cars already aide-tracked for them.

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.

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. MYou—you— you'd ought not to be here, Di." "What's that to y o u r Dl cried. •Why, Dl, you're Just a little girl—M Lulu saw that this was all wrong, and stopped miserably. How was she to go on? "Dl," she said, "If you and Bobby want to get married, why not let us get you up a nice wedding at homer And she saw that this sounded as If she were talking about a teaparty. "Who said we wanted to be married r "Well, he's here." "Who said he's here?" 'Isn't h e r Dl sprang up. "Aunt Lulu," she said, "you're a funny person to be telling me what to do." 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. If this was why Di was leaving home. . . . "But, Dl," she cried, "do you love Bobby Larklnr By this Dl was embarrassed. T v e got to marry somebody," she said, "and It might ss well be him." "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." At this onslaught Lulu was stupefled. For she began to perceive Its truth. "I know what I want to do, I goes*," DI mattered, s s It to try to cover what ah* had said.

In their presence Di kept silence, turned away her head, gave them' to know that she had nothing to do with this blue cotton person beside her. 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 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. Ina. aren't you Jealous? Lulu dresses for me!" Ina had come in with Di. and both were excited, and Inn's head was moving stiffly, as ln all her Indignations.

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. Keep a piece of fine sandpaper in th« kitchen; It Is useful to secure the meat grinder from slipping, If fastened to a zinc or aluminum covered table.

McCooi, head of the soils- department at the Michigan Agricultural Coli c * * . - : *Xack of standardization und-Ahe use of Jow analysis1 fertilbiors have resulted :not only in an unnecessarily high cost of plnrit food to the fanners, but al»4 in less efficient usv,** *»ays Dr. Mc- XZo+L ' T h e cost of uiauufneturing and handling a given amount of plant food in high analysis fertilisers is less f is l o r law analysis. ^ "The Michigan farmer shauld purchase fertilisers on the basis of their plant food content", rather than on a cost per ton basts. A standard fertiliser is conceded to be one which contains fourteen or more per cent total aired within the next three months or available phmt food. (he "declaration of intent" becomes islature held but three sesweek, continuing its policy of ecesscs from Thursday ..until ;The Upper Peninsula meme House, headed by Rep. Mef Houghton, fought the weekstrenuously, but were finally to 30* being outnumbered state lawmakers who desire to to their private Peninsula memlain in Lansing seeming, delay, tempt to curb the power now d b/y the Governor culminated introduction in the House on ay by Rep. 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.

The bill aiso provUfar that, l&eoaea may be revoked rf the court decides that the person holding It Is physically or mentally incapable of driving an automobile. 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. ' i \ * ^ $ r lie*i£e of Iron Mountain who " I s ^ ^ ^ ^ l S V present r a t c i s .v i c J d " "^ iM&$*tiftjs*?^' *m i y* °n -"• °'-a rs «ttftO*in^*nJcri M more than the Legis- 'J^tajfe- witended because the equalized valuation of the state has been considerably increased during the past year. 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. The Bums resolution would require that an exhaustive legislative investigation of the Klan should be made and a report submitted by April I, 1838.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

( It's a calling.- In tills year's southern fashions are design* without number That indicate a certain conventionality in dress that lias lately been lacking* writes a fashion correspondent JjD the New York Time*. They represent much art, originality and charm, much that is strikingly stylish. Some of the style Is a matter of line and composition, some la a matter of color. Most important of all is material. This season's fabrics are in themselves an interesting subject. It is quite certain that this Is to be a silk season. The largest dealers spend •more time and genius in new varieties, patterns and weaves of silk than they have shown in years before. Many kinds of silk goods have never before been presented. The lutest type of silk is something fur In advance artisticully of last season's offerings. 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. Cream one cupful of light brown sugar and onehalf cupful of butter. Add one-half rupful of sour milk, two well-beaten eggs and two cupfuls of sifted pastry flour, one teaspoonful of soda and onefourth of a teaspoonful of salt. To this add the above cooked mirror*.

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.

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.

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.

WANTED ANOTHER Salmon Are Centenarian* Fish have tremendously long lives compared to many animals. Salmon have been known to live more than 100 years and some interesting experiments In marking them and keeping tab on them from \ ear to year have been made even In open waters.

Her father demurred: whereupon Helen hurst forth with: "Oh. papa, if you will only let us go and hear him preach we'll promise not to believe a word he says."—Boston Transcript, STARTING AT IT Word of Old Origin The work "Juke" In "luke-wurm," simply means warm, being derived from an old word "lew" meaning warm. The world was kept, hut a translation was added; later on. however, people forgot that the won] "warm" was a translation of "luke," and thought that the "luke" part must refer to some special kind of warmth. In this way the "tepid" meaning evolved. II(>r Friend—When Vl,u and Ferdinand were married he promised you the cream of everything, Is he making good? Mr>\ Voun^hride—H"'s making a good start.

This is a very common mistake maile by the masses. Capitalism means operation of industry and commerce for profit, while capital represents the result of years of thrift and self-restraint. As self-gratification is at the bottom of capitalism, so self sacrifice Is the basis of capital.—Koger Bahson. 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."

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.

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.

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.
