An effort will be nit de to protect the morals of the yoting people by Miss Effie Cherry, member at one time of the famous ’’Cherry Sis ters” vaudeville team if she is no minated and elected mayor of Cedar Rapids. Iowa, next spring, she so announces in her platform. Miss Cherry would enforce a cur few law and do away with the bathing beaches on the theory that such steps would make for ' better tnolals, and she also said she Iis inS. ■ favor of men and women, especial ly tnarried oues, being home earlier at n'ght. 1 She said: “ The bathiiig beaches are shocking. ,. I .will, not tolerate them. The morals of the young folks must be,protected.” There is are controversy in Cedar Rapids and other cities in Iowa over the teaching of art in the pub- Iic schools. Miss Cherry is op posed to it. "Do we want a generation of ar tists?” she asked, in discussing the subject. “When I went to' school we had none of these high-falutin ideas. We learned how to read, write and spell. There was no painting of pictures. And we got along just as well.” I’m The Neighbor.

You know that I never have brought -inythig bacu that I borrowed, but y >u let .me have what I want, and even help me carry it home, with the vain hope that some day I will nave something that you can borrow, I never bring anything back that I oorrow and I - don’t intend to.

Five children iti the Williams family on the same day picked .1,384 pounds of cottQUi Pleasure. What most people seek is pleas ure—ndt work.. And in the seek ing, they generally derive more fun than in its acsual realization. Pleasures differ just as all human tastes do. A man with a wide ex panse of brow can live happv all The Magic Carpet Once upon a time in the mvstic land of Persia, there was found a- mong the treasures of a king, a wonderful carpet. One had only to sit on it, wish to be somewhere, and awav,the carpet would fly till the wtshfd-for place wa° reached. For hundred of years it carried kingshis life on literature, music and art _ .___’ - and princes upon the most amazingbut the ordinary man wants a little fun now and then'. ' There are several million varieti es of pleasure, and most of them are harder oil the system than work. If men had to walk 'n the hot sun all day pursuing the elusive golf ball, the industrial- commission would look into their case. A man will spend valuable time and a large sum of money trviug to shin up a mountain peak several feet high because he thinks it is pleasure. But if the elevator broke and he had to walk several flights of stairs, he would raise a terrible fuss. , Pleasure is anything von don’t have to do. Baseball is the great est port iu the world until you get good enough to draw a salary for playing, and then it is woik. Driving an automobile is plea sure and some spend a nice pile of money each year, for the privilege, but any taxi driver will tell you his job is one of the worst iu the world. Some men find pleasure in a quiet game of checkers and others iu reading the newest book on science. Other men can not enjoy themselves unless they have money ou a game of chance and others think it is sport to watch two big huskies beat each other’s faces into hamburg steak. Some men get their fun trying to swim the Eng lish channel and others by batting an innocent looking cloth-covered rubber ball Dack and forth over a uet. Men’s tastes iu pleasure have largely determined the progress of the world. War was ouce a lead ing amusement and watching Cnristian inaryrs devoured by wild beasts was regarded as a nqble pastime.. We are a bit more particular now about our amusements, but high salaried movie actors still a- muse us with stories that never happened aud probably never will, and when a fuumaker turns a gaso line tank into a 6o-horse-power car aud goes like a juggeriiaut through town at. a mile a minute, no one has the heart to lynch bun because' it is his pleasure. When ive cau . get our pleasure out of driving rascals out of office, swatting the Iary breakers and in flicting awful surprises on the suf fering in the shape of good fellow ship, you may be assured that the millennium has arrived.—Ex. Stay on the Farm “Some of the newspapers and city people who claim to be friends of the farmer are pitying his con dition on accpuut of ,the drought and have been trying to locate jobs in the city for them” says the Mecklenburg Times.” “This is really not necessary as the farmer has plenty to do on the farm and can make a better living there than iu the city. He has winter crops to plant and fall garden to cultivate The chickens are to care for and show a big profit. Bv properly spending his time ou the farm he can bring a load of its products to' the city two or three times each week arid make ttio’re money than he could get in the city.

It is not so’ much the money that Mr. Ormond is after, but to clear the name of the dead soldier which was blackened by the a - mazing verdict of the U.nion coun ty jury. It is said that letters that Eliza beth Cole wrote to Bill Ormond and which J Uuge Finley refused to ad mit as evideuce in the farcical trial at Rockingham will find their, way to the gaze of the public eve when the civil suit is heard. And there may be a different story to tell when these letteis are read to the public. The last heard of Cole, the slav er of Ormond, was that he was in Arkansas, leading in prayer meet ings perhaps, and doubtless pray ing that the angel and resentment Dy the citizens of the State over the gros miscarriage of justice in which he was the central figure, will sub side and that he will be allowed to return to Rockingham in peace. But lie will be met by Bill Ormond at every turn of the road and he will not be riding in a Ford-either.

CO. WOULD MAKE FERTILIZER INFORMS MUSCLE SHOALS THAT • IT IS PREPARED TO SUBMIT PROPOSAL. Washington.—The Alabama Power company has informed the Muscle Shoals commission that it is prepared to submit a proposal to operate Mus cle shoals for the production of ferti lizer in time of peace, ammunition in time of war and supply the adjacent region with power that is needed for the expansion of industry. The company said it had withheld a definite bid until the Congress had stipulated the terms of the lease, -which- the company declared should authorize lease contracts for the pP' eration of Muscle Shoals for a period of not exceeding 50 years either as a whole or in separate parts. The lease also should require, it is asserted, the maintenance of ntirate plant No. 2 for purposes of national defense and the- operation of both plants No. 2 and No. I at nominal rental for the production of fertilizer and other useful materials in time of war and peace. The company further suggested that the power plants should be leased, sub ject to power reserved for operation of the nitrate plants, on a basis of not less than four per cent per annum on the cost of dam No. 2 and its power generating facilities, the lease to be subject to recall or recapture at any time under the terms of the federal water power act. During the period of development of fertilizer production, the company said much surplus power would be available and bjr its inter-connected transmission lines and those of other southern power companies,,domestic and industrial demands could be met in Mississippi, west Tennessee, por tions of Louisiana and north Florida. This arrangement,' the company de clared, would make possible commer cial utilization of secondary power at dam No. 2, insure a maximum use of its power facilities at the most econo mical cost of production for all pur poses and permit the interchange of power so that an excess supply in one section immediately would become available for ,use at other points throughout the interconnected system and would' enable the government to realize the best return ^or power not required for national defense and fer tilizer production. i s e l i Both Obese “I am taking reduction exercises, Robert,” said Mrs. Winkley. “I wish you could induce the house hold expenses to join you,” respond ed her worried husband. - Sure Relief Damage in Atlanta By Fire.

Washington.—The house ways and means committee was advised by Pro- fessor Edwin -R1 A. Seligman, econo- mist of Columbia university, to retain the inheritance tax, at reduced rates, and to cut the income rates on low incomes rather than exempt these tax payers entirely. Questioned by democratic committee members, Mr. Seligman and Profes sor Thomas S. Adams of Yale, who testified, and was recalled, both oppos ed proposals to extend the period for payinent of the national debt from 25 to 62 years with a view to making greater reductions in taxes now. Mr. Adams declared . it was “incon ceivable that the European debtor na tions will continue regularly their debt payments for 62 years, anyway,” and he thought the debts of all these na-, tions would tempt them eventually in to war. against the United States. While opposing the proposal favor ed by Secretary Mellon to leave en tirely to The states the field of inheri tance taxation, Mr. Seligman asserted the present rates were too high. He proposed that the fedeTai government retain control over this tax in the in terest of nation-wide uniformity and give a large psrt of its collections back to the state. In this connection, Chair man Green announced receipt of a telegram from the Iowa state farm bu reau. opposing repeal of the federal in heritance tax. The committee also heard further pleas for repeal of the tax of admis sions, brokers, public transportation vehicles and dues. ■ Air Mail Takes Total of 41 Livem Washington.—With a proposal‘pend ing to establish air mail routes to the state it is noteworthy that, according to figures compiled by the post office department, air mail accidents have taken a toll of 41 lives 'and injured 194 persons since the first air mail service was started in 1918. , Thirty pilots and nine employes who accompanied fliers were killed in plane crashes while two employes have been killed at aviation fields by propellors.

C—The $40,000,000 Duke Endowment, created by the late James B. Duke last December, will b» doubled under provisions of the will of the deceased, it was disclosed by the executors of the estate1 at a meeting of the trustees of the endowment held in New York. The 'information was received in Charlotte from a member of the board of trustese of the endow ment In New York, and given nation wide circulation over the wires of the Associated Press. , Thirty million dollars of the addi tional $40,000,000 becomes available immediately, with at least $10,000,000 to be added later, making $80,000,000 which will be ultimately available for educational, humanitarian and - relig ious purposes in North Uarolina and South Carolina, including hospitaliza tion^ work, care of orphans and sup port of aged Methodist ministers. The executors of Mr. Duke’s estate explained to the| meeting that Mr. Duke, by his will and the codicil there to, had bequeathed, to the Duke endow ment (first) $10,000,000, of which $4,- 000,000 was to. be used in founding at the Duke university a medical school, , hospital and nurses’ home, the', income- from the residure to be used for Duke university; and (second) a portion of his residuary estate, which portion it is estimated would amount to consid erably in excess of $20,000,000, of which portion $7,000,000 was to be ex pended in expanding and extending Duke university, and the income from this portion is to be used, 10 per cent for Duke university and 90 per cent for general hospital purposes in the states of North ^Carolina and South Carolina. - ,Tlie executors pointed out in afldi- tion thar'the portion of the residuary estate set aside tfl Dl’fldUCfi ail 3». nuity for Mrs. Duke for her life would at Mrs. Duke's death belong to the Duke endowment, thus making the ag gregate of the bequest-under the will to the Duke_endowment for charitable purpose^ approximate $40,000,000, a sum equal to that ‘ originally; placed by Mr. Duke in the Duke endowment when he founded it. * Votes Loan For Clyde Company.

Birmingham, Ala.—A lfroad range of. discussion resulting in unity of aim marked the closing session here of the south-wide governor's conference, which set itself, in permanent form, to the task of solving reclamation, health, labor, edncation and other problems of the south. The conference called upon Con gress, by resolution, to amend immi gration laws so that the large groups of desirable European farmers might be brought to -America. It pledged support to the government in drain age, navigation and irrigation projects in the. south, irrespective- of the states most benefitted. It was also agreed that united sup port would be given all activity of the federal government in checking flood menace anil in irrigation work along the .Mississippi river and its tribu taries. Another resolution pledged aid to a movement looking toward better con trol and advancement of hydro-electric facilities on the nation’s streams. Declining to take a definite stand: on the Muscle ShoaU question, the conference'.adopted a resolution urg ing President Coolidge’s shoal com mission to give grave deliberation to the proposed manufacture of fertilizer at the project. . Affairs of the, permanent organiza- -tion were placed in the hands of a com mittee composed of T. C. McLeod, South Carolina; Henry L. Whitfield, Mississippi, and Austin Peay, Tennes see. Authorities on reclamation, speak ing before the conference, ,foresaw need for adequate preparation for largely increased population. To teed and house this added citizenship two things must be done, declared Elwood Mead, commissioner of reclamation. He said the soil must be preserved and the farmer must be held on the farm. The farmer will not pursue his work unless it pays him. Mr. Mead asserted. To prevent farm lands from erosion and to build up the egricul- tnral sections is a task that must be shouldered, he said. Voicing similar view, Copley Am, ory, expert on reclamation economies, declared that pride of possession should be the incentive to make for efficient cultivation of the soil. ■ v Robbers Grab $63,000 in Hold-Up.

Clemenceau, I as president, in staccato tones declar- : ed them adopted, the council of the league delivered what is virtually an Lultimatum to Greece1 and Bulgaria t they must unconditionally and within Ifi-.24 hours order all their troops to re tire behind their respective frontiers. It is the first time since the birth J jjit1Of the league that the council has li&l&fegone so far. Its action constitutes the supreme test of the league’s power to break up war. It was carried out in a tense atmosphere in the crowded clock hall of the foreign offipe, and was accompanied by an admonition from Austen Chamberlain, British for eign secretary, that it would be an in tolerable thing—“indeed an affront to -civilization” if, with all the machinery of the league at their disposal and the council ever Teady with its good of- I Sees, frontier incidents like those be tween Greece and Bulgaria should lead to war-like operations instead of being submitted for peaceful adjust ment to -the council. The council, he added, always would safeguard the honor and interests of the nations in volved. - y ' The resolution substantially adopt ed unanimously .was really a reproof to both Greece and Bulgaria for their failure to obey President Briand’s in junction to cease all hostilities and withdarw behind their frontiers. It was framed by Mr. Chamberlain after the Greek representative, Mr. Cara- P an os, had told the council that the Greek troops would evacuate Bulgarian soil as soon as all the Bulgarians get out of Greece, and after Bulgarian in sistence that Bulgarians are not on Greek soil at all. It declared the council was not sat isfied that military operations had ceased and that the troops had been withdrawn and, after setting a 24-hour iimit for the issuapce of instructions Ior such withdrawal the council fixed *>0 h’ours for assurance of the fulfill- ment of the orders. All the troops must be warned that VJ- Caraway Assails Cotton Figures. Washington.—The department of agriculture estimate indicating a cot ton yield this year of 15,226,000 bales drew fire from two senators from cot- ton-producing states. Senator Carraway, democrat, Arkan sas, declared that anyone who is ac quainted with conditions in the belt this season realizes that there are “not 15,226,000 bales or anything approach ing that figure of spinnable cotton in the southern states this year.” Charging that the government seam ed to lend itself .to every movement “to depress the price of cotton.” Sen ator Carraway declared “it is time to reform or abolish the department of agriculture which has lent itself, con sciously or unconsciously, to every gambling raid on the farms of the south and west,” “I shall myself introduce' a bill to meet this situation when Congress meets a month hence,” he added, “and I slrall demand immediate considera tion of it. The bill I will urge will make gambling in all farm products a crime with penalties so severe that none will have the temerity to violate it.” Largest Life Policy Paid 1924. Greensboro, N.

New York.—Business activities last week continued to vibrate at the fast est pace yet attained this year, giving impetus to the rising tide of optimism which recently had swept over the country. Diversified measures of trade improvement stood near the highest levels of 1925, with gains over corresponding periods last year becoming more pronounced each week. One of the significant features of the week was the striking improve ment in earnings reported by both, railroad and industrial corporations. Net income of the class, one carriers for September, based on the first 70 roads to report, was estimated at $132,000,000, a new high record for the month. At this rate, the earnings of the railroad for the first nine months of the year would bq equivalent to about 5.46 per cent on their tentative valu ation! Car loadings continued at the rate of more than a million a week. Total earnings of the United States Steel corporation, accepted as a ba rometer of industry, were more than $42,000,000 for the third quarter afcd about $12,000,000 above the corres ponding period of 1924. Despite the summer curtailment, the showing was the best of any period this year and evidenced a remarkable stability of earnings which has rarely been equal led. The industry continued to oper ate well about 80 per cent of capacity and was visibly cheered by Elbert H. Gary’s recent prediction that manufac turers would be turning away business by next spring. Prosperity of the automobile com panies, as indicated by the earnings of three large motor manufacturers in the third quarter, has been unequalled at any previous period since the war. Net earnings of the General Motors, Studebaker and Chrystler corporations showed gains of the preceding quarter and striking increases over the corres ponding period of last year. New sales records were established by many of the motor companies for the quarter and the nine months period. Surveys of commercial activity re vealed that the improvement was not confined to a few industries. Rev. A. T. Banks Victim of Gun. Cherryville.—Rev. A. T. Banks, pas tor of the Presbyterian church at Cherryville, was accidentally killed while hunting with friends by the ac cidental discharge of a shotgun, the hammer of which struck an obstruc tion us he was loading it into an au tomobile, stock first, preparatory to returning home.

No more unhappy irony can be fall the homesteader than to burn down his. shack in his attempts to warm it. . “Good’morning, Frank!” said a voice which set'the pumps of my heart going to jig music.. I think Jean’s, voice-was really her most wonderful quality; she was enough of the artist to appreciate and cultivate the fine manners of the voice- If had the lilt of. singing birds, the limpidity of purling Water, the soft ness of roseieaves in the twilight, the ; tinkling of silver bells at dawn, and if ;. I can-think of any other figure it had that, too, for me in those old love-hal- lowed days of mine. . A “Gooih morning, Frank, No word of Jack?" , > ' r;‘No'word;!. Jean;” .

That’s taordi to the purpose” . "Porridge : is poor business when , there’s loving .to be done,” .! argued. -j 'sV- : “You won’t always think so,” she replied as though with some strange glimpse of prophecy,’ and set busily about preparing breakfast. In these operations she discovered that every thing that could freeze had frozen; we melted the butter until it ran over the stove and then we gathered it up and spread it on'the toast. AYe could hot afford to be-fastidious. AVe ate and drank, and laughed and were happy and cared not a tuppence for all the storms that ever blew! About midforenoon came a sudden smash at the door, and Jack precipi tated himself into our presence- He was masked in snow, but his first glance was at me, and I knew by the sudden drawing of his lips the relief it was to see me safe and well. “I was afraid for you, Frank,” he said; "afraid you’d try it.” . "I did try it.” And then I told hifii4 the story of my attempt. "We have a great deal to be thank ful for,” Jack said, soberly, when I had finished. • “A Very great deal, in deed,” “Yes, more than you know,” I re turned, joyously, eager to spread the good news. “Jean has consented to be my wife.” Jack refused to be excited. “Con gratulations, old boy,” he said, pressing my hand, “but, really, that is hardly a news item. Jean has been—well, on the point of consent for a long, long while.” “Oh, Jack, that isn’t fair!” “Sorry, sister, perhaps it isn’t quite. But you two have been so beastly. slow over this business you’ve tied up the whole progress of events, and now you want me to be surprised about some thing that’s long overdue.” • “Well, it’s settled now, anyway,” said I, “and as soon'as you and Mar jorie can make up your minds we will fix a date.” “As soon as Marjorie and I can make up our minds!” Jack exclaimed. “Son, our minds were made up months ago. AA’e’ve been waiting, waitiDg. At last we concluded. that we really must speed things up a little, so it was ar ranged that Marjorie would send you over here last night, and I would ac cidentally miss you in the gully and go over to Marjorie’s. Of course, we didn’t know there was a storm coming. It rather overdid things from a con ventional point of view, but fortunate ly* Mrs. Grundy hasn’t moved out here yet.” ( “Why, I never thought of such a thing!” cried Jean, indignantly. “How can you—I” “Of course you didn’t, you old dear,” said. Jack, drawing her within his arm, “and,''i’ll bet a wedding present, neither did Frank. , And listen, little woman, you’re getting one of the best little chums and one of the whitest men be yond the Bed river and the Rockies— and beyond. And as for you, you old son-of-a-gun,” punching me in the ribs, "if there are two angels in the world -today one of them is Jean Lane.” Although the storm still raged day light now struggled through the wind swept screen of snow, and there Ayas no great danger in making the short trip from Twenty-two to Fourteen. Jack confessed that Marjorie was un easy for me so I'went home very soon after his arrival. Marjorie flew into my arms as I opened the door. “I was so frightened, Frank, so frightened!” she whispered, in iialf sobs. “I didn’t know it was going to be such a storm. I was al most sure you’d come back and when you didn’t I couldn’t heip wondering, and every little while -through the night I would waken arid see you fighting In the snow; fighting, and stumbling, and falling.” She wrapped her arms about nie and pressed her cheek against my face. “Oh Frank, Frank, it’s good to have you here!” she murmured. I had never known Marjorie'to be so demonstrative. She came of solid old Eastern stock that carries its heart a long, long way in. I was not psy chologist enough to realize that if ever there was to be a time when Marjorie would be very human she was now en tering it, “There, there,” I said, comforting- her as best, I could, “it’s all over now. And listen—I have great news. Jean and,I are to be^-” .,“At last!” she interrupted! “Well, that shows what a little planning will, do. You dear old silly,, did ypu sup pose—”■ “I. know all about it—now. Jack confessed. But your little joke nearly cost me my life,” and I went on to tell of my battle with the storm, taking care'that it should-lose nothing In tfie telling. In this I -hope I measuYed up to the established standard of the typical Westerner. Marjorie was penitent. “I am so sorry,” she said. “I had no idea that might happen. Oh, Frank, wouldn’t It have, been dreadful?” , “It would, but it isn’t. On the con trary, it is .worth it.” . Spoof drove over one Sunday early in December after an absence of. three weeks. AVe saw his oxen breaking trail ,for., an hour or more befpre they came up to our door. Jack and Jean, had also seen them coming,' and rushed over to Fourteen to share in extending welcome It is only among the pioneers that real welcomes occur. Jack swept Spoof into the house, and I turned our own oxen out and put his in the stable. AVe were soon to learn the cause of Spoof’s absence,from our threshold for a full three weeks. It seemed that to protect his eitenslve supply of per sonal effects Spoof had bought a pad lock for his shack, and one frosty morning this padlock fell to the ground. Spoof picked it up, and, wish ing to use his hands for some other purpose, thrust' the iron link of the lock In his-mouth, thinking to hold it there a moment. He had no trouble holding it, but suddenly found to his dismay that he couldn’t give it up! The frost in the iron had, ,with an effect very much like fire, seared his tongue and hung, on so tenaciously that when at last he wrenched it out it carried some of the flesh of that tender organ with it. "I couldn’t speak,” Spoof explained, in telling of his misfortune? “and there were so many things I needed to say just - then.” His predicament had been bad enough. For several days he had beeri unable to eat. “So I’ve come over here to make up for It,” he added. After the first outburst over Spoof's arrival had subsided an embarrassing silence yawned across the path of our conversation. There were great things to be said and no one to say them. The girls glanced shyly at each other,; and at us, and Jack, by pantomime behind Spoofs back, sought to convey the information th at. I was elected' spokesman. So for lack of prepara-, tion I plunged in bodily as one may take, a cold dip when he lacks the will power to do it ,slowly. “Jack and I have also .,had a mis fortune,. of a sort,” I said. “AVe, too, have lost the use of our. organs of speech, permanently.” / Spoof narrowed his eyebrows quiz zically. “Then my ears make up for it,” he said; “I hear you as usual.” “It isn’t in effect yet,” I explained. “AVe are to be married at Christmas. Behold the parties of the first part,” I Sn j A That Gaunt Phantoni of Doubt Closed in Upon Me. and I waved a hand at Jean arid Mar jorie while I turned a phrase of Jake’s to good-account. Spoof sprang to his feet. "Oh, by Jove, how wonderful! AVhat lucky dogs! Your pardon, ladies, that my first word was to them; I fear my erivy outweighed my good manners—Jf I have any left.’ A bachelor’s shack is not exaptly'ri'.sehool of polite behavior. It is my visits at Fourteen which have' saved, me from becoming quite a sav age. I—I feel that' I 'should make a speech;” . He was as good as his word. Mount ing a chair he gave us a bantering dis sertation on the joys and perils' of mar ried life, to which we listened with much seriousness. But. underneath, and running through his words, was 'something which all his banter did not: hide. Spoof was playing the game, but I wondered how many little yellow devils were skewering his heart. The practical part of it was Spoof's ready offer of his help in arranging de tails. The problems of securing the services, of a minister and buying the marriage licenses demanded attention. Even , so ethereal a thing as marriage cannot entirely escape the humdrum of the material, but it was a time when we felt strangely incapacitated for the commonplace. We were flying .too high for earthworms; larks or eagles were our prey! Jack! suggested that we'had thought of driviifg to the nearest railway sta tion, some thirty miles distant, for the ceremony. AVe understood, that a min ister :was: located there aiid that the y.oung;tnan who-ran the poolroom was intrusted with the duty of issuing mar riage licenses. He carried, a small stock of tobacco as an auxiliary to his poo! business and a small stock'of jewelry as. an auxiliary to his. tobacco business and’a small'-stock of'wqddinfc licenses as an auxiliary to his jewelry business. , ' ■ ’ “It would take, you two days to make that trip with old Buck and Bright,’ Spoof protested. “Perhaps more; they’re soft with being stall-fed and may quit altogether on the road, and vou may not find a convenient armful Of hay with which to fix them. Fancy having to send word, ‘Wedding post poned on account of the -indisposition of Bjuck and. Bright!’ No, you must leave all,these things to.me. Yon boys are too busy with—inuCh more important business—to be worried about details.” Spoof made his plans joyously. If he was not happy at heart over the fact that Jean was to marry me no one could have, read it in Iiis face. He would have a minister, he would have licenses, he would have wedding rings —leave it all to him. A week later he came puffing across the crusted prairie, in broad-soled Can adian felts. “Admire my scows,” he commanded, as he hove them into view. “Twin schooners of the deep—’’ “Traveling in ballast,” Jack inter rupted. “Nay, laden with good tidings. Abti there she breaks out a line of signals,” and Spoof started to wig-wig a mes sage which none of us could decipher. “ ‘I fear thee, Ancient Mariner,’ ” said Jean, “but what are you driv ing at?” , . ■ “Just this, that the contract is let to one John Locke, minister,, the low est, and, in fact, the only bidder. 'He will be aided and abetted by an indi vidual called Reddy, for reasons which will be obvious when you see him. Reddy, like Jake, appears to harbor no surname, although no doubt for offi cial purposes he signs something to the marriage license. They will be out by midafternoon Christmas day, and the ceremony will take place In the main drawing room of my country residence on section Two. Carriages at four- thirty. You see, I lost no time in go ing to town—” “You tp town, with- those ‘bullocks’ of yours!” Jack exclaimed. “And you? libeled Buck and Bright by suggest ing—” “I went to town, but not behind my bullocks. There are some things I will not do, even for so great a friend ship as I bear for thee. I bad a driver and a spanking team of mules.” “Mules? AVhose?” “Our American friend, Burke, lent his team and himself for the occasion. The fact is he hid misgivings about lending the team without himself, so he came along. He was afraid I would not treat the mules diplomatically. Nothing, I assure you, was, or is, fur ther from my intention. But, my word, such language! Driving bullocks is only a beginner's course Compared with the demands made upon a mule teer. . . . Burke rose very greatly in my estimation.” _ So we left the details in Spoof’s hands, glad enough to .be rid of re sponsibility for them. There was much to do, and Jack and I found ourselves banished to Twenty-two while the girls made use of the shanty on Four teen for operations concerning which we were permitted to have nothing but curiosity. - Their wedding; splendor must, we knew, be designed with such skill as Marjorie and Jean possessed from the best of the clothing they had brought with them from the East. L'ove may laugh at locksmiths, but i t ; has to, bow to dollars and cents—when the trousseau is under consideration. Money, as Marjorie once remarked, may be bad for the heart,-but it’s -good - for the appearance. But there was no money to be fiad for this occasion, and Marjorie arid'Jean cut their cloth ac cordingly, literally as well as figura tively. Also, the news had to be broken to those at home.: ' Each' Of us wrote a letter, although,, to' save • postage, we enclosed them a ll' in one envelope. : There' had been little correspondence since: we came to the: ^homesteads? mainly because we were as yet .thirty, miles -from a post' office, and letters might lie, for a month without a chance of delivery. But this .was something; to be written about. I recall that there was moonlight just then, and night on the prairie was a base of ivory cupped with an in tangible bowl of blue. Always there was the nip of fro3t in the air, but it was a nip that "was not unpleasant, and by no means did It succeed In con fining us within doors! During these' bright nights Jean and'I took long, never-to-be-forgotten walks across the snow-piled, -moon-swept. plains. - I could feel her firm little figure iswaylig with mine in our strong stride across the wind-packed snow, while our shadows—our shadow;, I should sa y - fell in grotesque caricature by our side. There were ’moments when we were very, very close to Uie Infinity which bounded us on every hand, and the wonder of that great, white! silent ocean would surge into our hearts and -mingle with the wonder of our love. A quarter of a mile from the shanties and we were as isolated from all Uv-. ,-Ing things as if We had been let down in the midst of the Polar sea, or drawn :by some mighty .spiritdnto.the farthest yOld of space! ; Even the boisterous wind paid attention enough to blur our footprints out behind us and so cd e plete that sense of infinity of isolation AVe were so tremendously alone that it seemed the ,world was full of our selves pnd God. But a gaunt? phantom of doubt and uncertainty stalked us even on., those moonlit walks.: CHAPTER XI That gaunt phantom of doubt grad ually closed In upon me, I resolved to fight it. but its, very intangibility baf fled my efforts to throw it ,off. AVheh I struck, it was riot there. AVheh I gripped it, my fingers closed on space. AVhen I challenged Jean’s whole-heart edness she burst into tears and asked what proof she could give, that she had not given. And it was because she burst into tears that the phantom stalked me all the closer. Had she laughed and called me a silly boy I would have believed her. ? Nothing came of.lt, however, and the days wore on/ uritll one forerioori we saw Spoof’s !tall figure ldoming up across the snow-waste--!that lay be-: tween Fourteen and Two. AVe made him welcome, hut he would not sit down. “Sorry, but I can’t stay,” he explained. "Jake is in a bit of a mess. Just chme over to Two to tell me about It. It seems the cogitation .nut on his base burner—you know the big coal stove Jake puts on so many airs about—bless me if I know what a.cogitation nut is; rummy old name, don’t; you think?—but' at any rate it has come loose so Jake’posted over to borrow a left-hand monkey wrench with which to tighten it. It seems he can’t get at it with an ordinary monkey wrench; must have a-left-hand'oner; I hadn’t such-a; thing about the place, and. of. course.I told him so. - ,J; “ ‘Danged unfortunate,’ says Jake— excuse the adjective, ladies—and he stuck out his chin and massaged it in a way that showed he was worried more than he: admitted. “ lIt will bq all right,., won’t it?’ said Ii trying to. buck him up, and really knowing’nothing about It. , - ■ -j “ iAVeUvi t may be, and it may not’ be,’ said he. Tf we’re lucky nothing will come of it’ " ‘And In case you’re unlucky?’ I queried. ... J .t “ ‘Then • the. bottom .-will fall out of the stove and the shack will bum down —maybe before I get back. AVe can’t leave it without a fire In this weather, you know.’ “So seeing that old Jake was In a bit of a mess I volunteered to come over and borrow the necessary tools from you. It took quite a weight off his... mindi. I assure • you,” /. Jack and Jean, as usual, .were with us at the time andjfrom a corner where he was out of the range of Spoofs vision Jack was. semaphoring me an improvised hush signal. “Too bad the day-is so dull,” Jack said, looking out of our window In the ' direction of Jake’s! homestead. “Can’t see a thing. His shack may be burned by this time. Perhaps Jake and Bella Donna are already on their way here for shelter.” “Oh, surely nbt!” exclaimed Jean. “Surely that would not happen!” “Quite possible,” her brother in sisted, with the firmness of one who is prepared for the worst. “When the cogitation nut works loose'you pever know what may happen. And the worst of it is we haven’t a left-hand wrench on the place.** “You haven’t!” said Spoof, plainly concerned, “I say, that’s rather rot ten.” . “Isri’t it?- Your best chance is Burke. Burke has quite a layout of tools, and, besides, he’s an ingenious beggar, No doubt he will be able to fix you up.” Marjorie had already drawn a : cup of hot tea, and Spoof drank it while he stood. “Ah, that’s better,” said he, as she took the empty cup from his hand. "Wonderful how a cup: of tea bucks a fellow up, isn’t it? • Now I must get along. Fancy old Jake on his back under-the stove holding that nut in’ place with.his fingers!” “Or with Bellas Donna’s ; curling tongs,” Jack suggested. “Burke will fix you all right,” and we waved him. away. V ' . It was one of those, gray winter days, and he faded but.of sight in a few mo ments, I noticed that Jean’s eyes followed Spoof until the mist had en gulfed him. Then she turned quickly to Jack-arid me; •' “-‘If there is-any-danger, don’t yon think you should go to Jake’s a t once?" she said.- . : -. -~ . , This fool’s errand may be' funny, but the result may be serious.

Not a line of the article you have not read twenty times before; or. you are confronted with a col- uthn .refciting the details of a re ception at which a score of people stood ltn the receiving line while Mr. and Mrs:. So and So presided at the 'punch howl and Mr. and Mrs. So and. So performed soitie other stunt of t'qual importance That is not news—it is old as the hills and nobody is any the wiser or better after it is read. Oceans of good ink are wasted in this way. We have in inind one paper not run m this old rut. A social func tion was pulled off in its town wnieh got six lines; a . goat broke out of the yaid of one of the citi zens and every man and maiden, housekeeper and cook, merchant and well digger, lawyer and dray man took after the goat and set the whole town in an uproar. Two columns of delightful reading were given to the escape and capture of the goat which was real news, while the rec.p ioa was no news at all, and if it had.been minutely de scribed iii detail would have been simply a rehash of what had been told a tliousand limes before. We are not inveighing against our social life at all, or discrediting the im portance of our conntv faits, but the purpose here is to deplore the emphasis that is given to matter that is not news to the exclusion sometimes of things that may be of no vital im portance in themselves, but that are real news. The paper to which we have referred is the Chape^ Hill News, which is differ ent, wholly different from the aver age newspaper. Was it Horace Greelv who told one of his young reporters that if a dog bites a man it is not news, but if a man bites a dog that is news and should be played up in great style. News at tracts everybody and the paper that know's what news is will be eagerly read’.—Charity and Child ren.

I Whether we are “first” in that as Ijn so many other things, the boost- | ers should have no trouble in say- |in g that we live longer in .North !Carolina than elsewhere and we Ihave something to live for; that the Is ate is so progressive, so far a- lhead of all. others, that we live !longer to enjoy the benefits and Iiiml jov in the living. Reoort of the bureau of vital Istati-Htics of the state board of Ihsalth shows that a fifth of all the !people who died in North Carolina Ilast year had passed the threescore laiul ten years allotted as the'-span Iof life It is also reported thatex- lactly one hundred persous who Iditd in the state last year Iiad pass- led the century mark, which is re- linarkable if true. In former times Ia centenarian was so rare that one |\vlii) claimed to have reached, or !passed the age of ioo years attract- Ied much notice and was viewed as fan ubjett of curiosity. Now the Kalle^c-i centenarians are so com mon that they are taken as a mat- lU-r of course. Think of too per sons dying in this state in a year Iivho aie reported to have lived ioo years or more. Seventy-five of the Jreporled centenauiaus were colored people. Few if any of these color ed people could give ati authenti cated record 6f birth; and no doubt jnany of the twenty-live whites sere in the saine boit. They guessed at their age. The century park is a distinction in the age of ban and many there be who,-claim for the distinction. They assume he honor without positive know- edge that they are entitled to it pile assumption is accepted’ be- anse nobody can challenge it. Unquestionably the span of Iiu- hau life is increasing in the state, lore people live to be ioo than in ormer times. But there are not so batiy that we can lose too in a |ear without excitement It is uti- ecessarv to I oast of our cauten- Inians.* Without speaking ill of he dead, some of those recently assed only thought they were that fid, and maybe some of them didn’t iveu think they were. They ac- epted the honor because they de- jjred the distinction, and there was tto record to contrary the dim and Ikzv recollection—if they even jftd the recollection—of what some !^jQjbdv in the ditn and distant past !* s f ^ d tcild them that they heard Som ebody say. This skepticism is ^"-tIifessed with regret, but the re porters to the state board of health I1IOtild accept some of these age re- iirtsw ithafew grains of allow- liice.—Greensboro News. NUMBER 18 Tbe J. P. Looms Up. . TKose who are accustomed to re gard the ’squires, otherwise justic es of the peace, also magistrates, as of small importance (and that in reality comprises the population generally) should take notice that these minor judges are not so un important as they seem. One of them, in*Greensboro, too, haled. a judge of the United States court into his (the magistrate's) court. It is true the judge took his own time about answering, and then he didn’t go but sent a letter—a per formance which wouldn't have been permitted in the judge's court, probably. But the judge pleaded nole contendere, which sounds im pressive and is more dignified than to/ say “guilty” ; protested that lie had no purpose to treat the justice’s court with disrespect, and will no doubt pay tne $10 fine assessed for speeding All of which is as it should be. Persons in high place are under far greater obligations to reuder obedience to law they de mand that otlfers obey, or they must at least set a good example if they don’t want to encourage evil; and all rulers must set the example of cheerfully, and promptly, com plying with orders of all courts, low as well as high, if they expect to command respeet for tbeir own decrees. Along about this same time a magistrate in Wake county order ed a lawyer to jail for contempt of his court. The lawyer got out with an apology but in these two cases the humble ‘squires have shown all and sundry that they have powers same as the higher courts and that they have powers same as the_high- er courts and that it isn’t always safe to treat them with disrespect, even if you feel that way.—Greens boro News.

It is a grave mistake to listen to the people who are predicting that this country is going to the "bow wows,” whatever they may be,' Some minds run in narrow grooves and are never able to get out. They are fixed on ultimate failure and nothing but failure will satisfy them. As a matter of fact which can not be successfully contradicted, this county way never on, , a more solid and substantial basis than it is today. •This condition is not due to any .Jielp extended by the prophets of evil, but stmply because the great mass of the people continue to work and forge ahead while other counties bicker and lag behind.— Ex. _________•' If you are one of our subscribers call and get a Blum’s.Alatnaaac, Want Electric Chair Abolished. Indications are that an organiza tion will be formed at Greensboro soon having as its aim the abolish ment of the death chair in this state. An organization of this kind has already been formed at Ashe ville. We are among.those who still be lieve in the death penalty for cer tain crimes. It is true that the in fliction of the death penalty does not seem to. deter men, since un speakable crimes are committed al most daily, therefore the death chair holds no special terror for the rapist and others of his class. We do not believe in the death chair as a determent to the com mission of crimes, but simply as a means of disposing of those crea tures who from time to time forfeit all right to live. Men, are going to continue certain crimes, which in our opinion, places them beyond the pale and makes them . unfit to live in a civilized country. There must be some way of ridding so ciety of these and-we know of no better wjay than the electric chair. We would concur in the idea ex pressed a few days ago by one who suggested that the humane way ot disposal would be to render the condemned man insensible to paiii. We can see no objection to that, since the same ends would be ac complished in the final analysis.— Chairtown News. To Be Sure.

The mayor of the town of Wilson, Silas Lucas his name is, has- devised a new fortn of punishment for of fenders who appear in his court. He will give these unfortunates, a dis patch from Wilson relates, "oppor tunity t.o hear the best thought in the community, and speakers from a distance, talk on subjects of law and prder.” In otlier words, the mayor proposes to line up the evil doers who come into his court and compel them to submit to b e in g preached to. lectured about their sins Opini on here is that, the mavor has found an effective remedy.

Unbiased Opinion of Got Al Smith Charity and Children, the weekly newspaper published at tae Thomas- ville ltaptist Orphanage, whose edit or Arehibald Johnson is a very close observer speaks out boldly regard mg the impending nomination of 'i6v, Al Smith, of New York, for President by the Democrats in 1928 *np gives the following illuminating statement for the faith it has in this proposition. That :paper also acknowledges that there is a large and growning ele nent in the South who are growing restless under the arrogance and do mination of the hidebouiid, hog. tied Democratic party and would welcome an. opportunity to get fron under the bour-born role of the d-'- rninant Democratic party in power coday.. Tho views of Mr. Johnson are in teresting but there is one thing he overlooked and that is fair elections If the voters of North Carolina could get their votes counted as cast it would not be necessary for an Al Smith to revolutionize things here in North Carolina, The State would be in the Republican column beyond'a doubt, especially on nation al affairs and it would be extreme ly close in State affairs which we be lieve with a free ballot and a fair count would also be found in the Republican column. "The incicatious” says Charily and Children, "point to the nomina tion of Gov. Al Smith by the nt xt Democratic convention. McAdoo will be also in the ring, but Smith is a much stronger man thin UcAdoo withia very much more attractive personality;. His. record as governor of New York has been as courageous and as efficient as that of Charles Evans Hughes, who swept into na tional favor bv tnat record. But Smith'-is handicapped by the.fact that be is a wet man and a Catholic. There are intelligent southern men who think and say that Smith will carry the solid south notwithstand ing his dampness and his religion, if he can do this he stands a good chance of winning for his populous sections of the United States includ ing his own great State which Iui will carry by million maj >rity. But. we do not believe that he will car ry the solid souto. There is in this section of the country a large and steadily growing element who are ready to cast off the party collar The great tnanufatureni, for in stance, are somewhat restive under Democratic rule and are waiting for only an excuse to land in the Repu blican camp. The number of these inen is steadily growing. Party shibboleths' count for very little with these voters. They care noth ing for smith’s religion or his views on prohibition. They are interested only in financial policies and they believe the Republicans are sounder 011 the money question than the De irocrats There is another another jnd a much larger element «lio are sincere *»nd earnest opposers of the liquor traffic There men aud women will not vote for a wet candidate. They cannot be scared into voting a- guinst their consciences on account of the ‘nijjer ’ That day has passed Then there is the religious element. The south is the most rehgrious sec tion of the United States and'of the world. They have nothing personal against Al. Smith but they don’t like his religion. Call"it narrowness bigotry, ignorance or what you like, hut that feeling is deep and strong. The norninatioti~of Smith will rend the solid south in twain.

The position of the presiding elder in the Methodist Episcopal Church "South, is a m'ost important and diffi cult one. f The minister who holds such a post successfully must have a num ber of qualifications and perform a varied line of duties. He is assigned to a district and has supervision over the churches of his Ienomination in that district He is expected to visit each church at least four times a year; but his versiglu includes every day in the year. If something jroes wronjr in some ctlargu, an appeal is made to the presiding elder; if a pastor is ;ncap- •icisatrd for any reason, the presid- ng <;l-f<T must s-*e that the vacancy IS tilled; he must see that the Iin- 'iices of the diflerent charges are being raised in an adequate way; the spiritual state of each charge is a matter of constant concern to him; tie is ex 1 "'Cted tu see that the district is ixpecu-d t>. see that the district 14 expanfling properly, anil frequet t- Iy it faiis 10 him toiritiinate church- building campaigns nr other move ments Iooliing t<> the growth of the crunch He must lie forceful and earnest and at the same time a di ploma!; he must have tact- and pati ence and energy and enthusiasm and if enure consecration. Rev J H B irniiardt. who cumi s to Winston Salem district as presitl- ing elder to follow the notably suc cessful work in that capacity of Rev W. A Newell, has the qualities men tioned. He has bad experience as presid ing elder, too. And he is almighty good preacher. He was in Charlotte last year as past • or of Tryon Streat Methodist church and here is what the Observer saj s' of him .editorially: "Rev. A L Stanford, who conns to Charlnife from Shelby, was in troduced to the MethoTiisfs of this city, by The Clevelsnd Star, as "the building pastor.” In like manner. The Observer might introdue Pre- sidirigEiderBarnhardt to the pr. - pie of the Winston Salcin district, as “the working pastor.” for that, lie was while occupying the ministerial field in Charlotte He catne here a year ago £0 serve the Tryon Strett Methodist Jongregation, hut he came more nearly serving the whole city, there may be sure that this devoted servant of Cod will not be inclined to take advantage of any such. He is a man of born activities in Church service and the habit is too firmly fixed to break away from it. Mr: Barnhardt found much of opportu nity in Charlotte for doing good and he goes to his new field with a !re cord of great good’ accomplished. His own congregation was devoted to him; the city at large lodged ad miration iu his reputation as preach er and Citizsn.

Tut-ankh-Amen’s tomb was reopened October 12 in the presence of Egyp tian officials. The. lid of the first, sar cophagus was lifted, revealing an other, on which lay linen coverings and bouquets. These were removed, revealing a work of unexampled beau ty. This second sarcophagus bore an effigy of the god Osiris decorated from head to feet and embellished with mul ticolored pieces of glass. The sarcophagus itself was covered with a thin layer of gold on a mar ble ground and adorned iyith the wings •of the serpent goddess, Buto, and the vulture goddess, Nechbet. After this sarcophagus had been scientifically ex amined, it was removed from the first, an extremely delicate operation, as the one fitted exactly inside the other and the delicate ornamentation might easily be injured by the slightest touch. By October 22, however, it was pos sible to remove the cover from the second sarcophagus, disclosing a hu man shaped coffin, covered with a lin en shroud, which adhered to it. Around the head and chest were a string of beads and flowers. The face was un covered and is believed to represent young King Tut himself. (This thought to imply that the shroud around the coffin did not cover the painted face coustomarily depicted up on such encasements. - After photographs were taken, the shroud, beads and flowers were re moved, revealing a superb coffin of most artistic design, covered with gold ornaments. Unfortunately, a large part of the coffin was marred by shining black deposit, apparently some gultinous liquid, which must have been spilled over It at the time of burial. The most important question now before the workers is how to remove the human shaped coffin from the sec ond sarcophagus, which, in addition to fitting very closely, has adhered on account of this glutinous liquid.

C.—Rotarians of Char lotte and more than half a dozen neighboring towns will hold an inter city meeting here December 8, it was announced by Hamilton C. Jones, pres ident of the Charlotte club, at its weekly luncheon meeting at the Chamber of Commerce. A committee of the local club has been busy for several weeks arrang ing the details of the program for the inter-city meeting, which will be sort of all-day affair, with a lunch-.

Among the Rotary clubs invited to attend the inter-city meeting are those at Monroe, Concord, Salisbury, Moores- ville, Statesville, Gastonia and Rock Hill. The program of the meeting was in charge of the business methods com mittee, of which Chas. p. Brockman is chairman. The chief speaker was Frederick W. Mozart, of Houston, Texas, formerly secretary of the Ro tary club of. Worcester, Mass., who gave some of !his impressions of Char lotte as gained during the 10 days he has been here and stressed the im portance of local citizens keeping their money in Charlotte, of “spending your money where you make it.” In the course of his address he de clared that Charlotte is the most wide ly advertised city in the United States, outside of Florida and the great met ropolitan centers, and a city of the most wonderful opportunities and ad vantages, and yet he said that the people here seem to him to be entire ly too self-satisfied and contented with things as they are. He declared that there were store windows in Charlotte that had not been changed or re dressed since he came here. H. P. Harding, a member of the Na tional Education association, told of the work and influence of that organi- ation, saying that it should be credit ed with the fact that the schools throughout the nation have been more or less standardized, and th at. the Ies and curricula are practically the same in all cities. Louis Lipinsky, president of the Charlotte Merchants association, told of the trementous progress made in the last 20 years and more in the mat ter of conducting retail mercantile business, > comparing some of the old customs and practices with the mod ern ways of doing business. Charlotte, N. C.—Two persons were killed and one injured in. two separ ate automobile accidents occurring in and near Charlotte within an hour. An automobile overturned on the Lawyers road, killing Frank Redd, 24, of West Palmer street, an occupant, and an automobile ran down and kill ed Miss Ruby Helms, of 130 Sylvania avenue ,a supervising operator of the telephone exchange, injuring her com panion, A. L. Jackson, of 314 East Sixth street, in the outskirts of the city., near- Lockwood. Two! unidentified white men, occu pants of the machine that figured in the Lockwood accident, were being sought by police. They left neither names nor addresses following the tragedy and lingered only long enough to see that the man and girl were brought to town by chance passers by. The accident on the Lawyers’ road was caused by wet, slippery pavement. R. F. Snyder, of 1208 1-2 West Trade street, was driving the machine, a -Buick roadster. Neither he nor R. H. Fesperman, of the Dilworth Fire de partment, the third occupant, was in jured. but' Redd was almost instantly killed. The accident in which Miss Helms was killed and Jackson injured was of a different variety. The young couple were walking out beyond the Seaboard underpass towards Sylvania avenue, on their way home from a picture show uptown. According to Jackson, they saw the car, believed to have been a large Studebaker1 as it approached, and turned to the side of the road. Jackson says the ma chine struck them and carried him underenath for 15 or 20 feet. W. G. Collins, o f Twenty-sixth ave nue, and H.*M. Ziegler, of West Twen ty-seventh avenue, driving another automobile, arrived immediately after the accident happened. They said that the two men got out of their car, ap peared nervous and excited, and asked them to take the man and girl to the hospital. „ Mr. Collins and Mr. Ziegler brought the man and young woman to the Charlotte Sanatorium, but by the time the woman was inside the hospital * Dunn.—Four people were killed * instantly and two others probably • * fatally injured, when an Atlantic * * Coast Line through freight train * * struck a Ford touring car carry- * ing a family of eight Colored peo- * pie at the Main street crossing * in the town of Godwin, 8 miles * * south of Dunn. * * The dead are::* Viola Hickson * * and her three children, two sons,-* * Lieutenant, aged 11: Jo ^ ,aged 7. * * and one daughter, Pearline, aged * * 3 years.

Columbia, S. Ci—A game that was pulled in Charlotte a few days ago was worked here, when a man and girl boarded a street car and staged a uni que robery.

While Secretary Mellon proposed that the government’s annual income be reduced by not more than $300,- 000,000, committee members feel it may be possible, on the basis of late estimates, to go ebyond this figure. President Coolidge inclines tb a simi lar view. AU of the 25 members of the com mittee were present at the first of its executive sessions and indications were renewed that representatives of both parties would work together to draft a non-partisan measure in time for presentation when Congress con venes December 7. Under a program of procedure ap proved, the committee will tackle the income taxes after setting its goal for total reductions. Secretary Mellon recommended a cut in the maximum surtax rate from 40 to 20 per cent and reductions of about 50 per cent in most of the nor mal rates, but opposed increased ex emptions. His surtax suggestion has received considerable support among committee members, but many have urged greater cuts in the normal rates and increased exemptions. American Independence" Completed.

That’s why he told him.” For a moment Jean’s face was a puzzle as her mind unraveled the mixed threads of Jake’s little comedy. But suddenly her eyes blazed with a light such as I had seen In them only once before, and then, as now, it was for Spoof that light had burned. “So you sent him out on a day like this,” she said, speaking slowly and through teeth that were almost closed —“you sent him out on a day like this, across the untracked snow, hunting for something that doesn’t' exist. He may find something he wasn’t sent for.” “Oh, come now, sister, don’t take it too seriously. It is just a joke.” “It will be no joke if Spoof is lost on the prairie,” she returned; “no joke for any of %s. For example, there will be no marriage In tliis house, so far as I am concernied, if anything happens to Spoof.” “Isn’t that rather mixing the issue?” I said, perhaps a littie testily. “Spoof has nothing to do with our marriage.” “No, but I have,” she answered, with a pointedness that could not be escaped. ■ “You make a mountain out of a molehill,” Jack told her, .sharply. “One would think it was Spoof you were In Iove with, instead of Frank.” “If I discuss that at all I will dis cuss it with Frank, alone,” she re torted, with some heat. The color which had fled her face for a moment had come back in a flood, filling her cheeks and forehead, overflowing, down her neck and into her Bair. If Jean the placid, Jean , the mild-mannered, Jean the amiable was lovely, Jean the aroused, Jean the defiant, was ador able. I made that appraisal even while In Iier eyes I read something akin to my death warrant. "I was quite serious in what I. said, Frank,” she • continued, after a mo ment. “If It makes any difference to you perhaps you will follow Spoof. He hasn’t the prairie sense that you have; he may be lost by this time. Fortunately there is no ground drift, and his tracks will show. “Of course, if you think there is any dangpr, I’ll go,” I agreed, eager for a way out of an awkward position, and lacerated at heart by a sense of the breach that had occurred between us. So Jack and I set-out to follow Spoofs tracks. We traced him without diffi culty ta Burke’s. "Has Spoof been here?” we asked, our American neighbor when be <came to the door. “Spoof? I should say he has. By this time lie’s half way to Andy Smith’s. Unfortunately I didn’t have a left-hand monkey wrench,” satd Burke, with a chuckle, "but I reckoned likely Andy Smith would have one, having been a ship builder. Spoof wouldn’t stay to eat, but he drank a cup of tea and steamed away.” We explained that we were tracking Spoof In case he became lost, but avoided any reference to the ultimatum that had sent us after him. Declining the invitation of Burke and his wife to stay and eat, we pushed on. About half way to Andy Smith’s we met Spoof coming back. Andy had not seen the joke when It was first pre sented, and in his analysis of it had revealed it to Spoof as soon as he recognized it himself. This was for tunate for Spoof, as otherwise he would doubtless have been sent to Ole Hansen's in continuation of his quest. As Spoof came up to us his face twisted in a broad grin. . "Did you get a left-hand wrench?” we asked. “No, but I found out wliat a cogita tion nut is. This is it,” and be tapped his head with his knuckles, “only it doesn’t cogitate very well.” The three of us linked arms, Spoof in the middle, and trudged back toward Burke’s. “Mighty decent of you to come after me.” said Spoof at length. “Yes, wasn’t it?” we agreed. Ducy Burke would take no refusal this time, so Spoof and Jack and I stayed for dinner. I had a feeling that this was bad generalship, and that we should be hurrying home, where Jean was doubtless waiting with growing concern. I managed to mention my forebodings to Jack. "Don’t you believe it,” he whispered back. “When a woman reads you the riot act go out and have a riot. Noth ing makes her so unhappy as to sus pect that her husband is having a good time when she thinks he should be doing penance.” After dinner Burke, with the loneli ness of a homesteader to whom the visit of a neighbor is something of an event, detained us as long as possible, on one pretext or another, and finally, when we Insisted upon going, hitched up the mules and drove us back to Fourteen. It was dark by this time and the lamps were lighted. I noticed that lamps were Set Sb that their yellow wedges of light thrust out into the darkness from each of our windows. Jean was at the door with the sound of our sleigh bells, and as I passed close by her I scrutinized her face for some hopeful sign. It was a blank wall. We made Spoof and Burke stay for supper, and no one had more fun over the day’s events than had Spoof. Jean kept her indignation well bridled, and we were a happy party, outwardly, at any rate. Spoof and Burke made it up that they would drive to Jake’s late that night, when he would be K "Has Spoof Been Here?” We Asked Our Ameriean Neighbor When He Came to the Door. sure to be Ip bed, and stuff his stove pipe with a sack .as a slight exchange of compliments. During the evening Jean’s eyes avoided mine but I had an uncomfortable feeling that three of ds were on a precipice which afforded room for only two, and that I was the third. ' As the, evening wore on Spoof in sisted that Jean get out the banjo. I could see that she was Cu no mood for music, but she played her part well, and as their voices joined In "Old Black Joe” and "Silver ThreadsAmong the Gold” I could not help wondering if ske were as unhappy as I was.. After they had sung for a while Spoof took the banjo from Jean and swept his lean, long hand with quick, delicate master strokes across Its strings. Under his spell our little ’homestead shack faded out in the blur of Spoofs tobacco, smoke, and pres ently I saw a little boy and girl sitting on the bank of a river, digging their toes in the warm sand and watching the spray of misty diamonds from the waterwheel across the stream. . - • “Spooky old machine, a banjo, isn’t it?” I, heard Spoof say at length, and of a sudden I was back on Fourteen, and In the midst of a world which had its share of troubles. ’Has an uncanny way of ripping up the past;,tombstones, skeletons, ev erything.” Then, to an Improvised ac companiment, he began reciting Kip ling's poem to the banjo. “It was this poem,” he explained, in the midst of his recital, “that caused me to bring a banjo to Cana da. Otherwise I should probably have shipped a piano, to the enrichment of the transportation people and my own further- financial undoing. I must drop E. K. a line of appreciation.” “Still, the piano case would have come handy,” Jack suggested. "You might have put your house In it in bad weather.” “Almost,” said Spoof. But he was back to his theme again, and the wooden wall against which I leaned trembled in sympathy with his strings. . . . I have told the naked stars the Grief of Man.Let the trum pet snare the foeman to the proof— -I have known defeat and mocked it as we ran.My bray ye may not alter or mistake When I stand to jeer the fatted Soul of Things, . TBut the song of Lost Endeavor that I make , _Is It hidden in the tw angings of the strings? Before long Spoof and Burke left on their errand of reprisal. Jean elected to go home soon afterward, and I ac companied her to Twenty-two. She stood a moment with the door latch in her hand, as though debating with her self whether she should send me home. “You ha’d better come in,” she said at length. “There are some things we should talk about.” I closed the door behind me and Jean lighted a lamp and removed her wraps. “Come and sit down,” she said, making room for me, beside her on a bench. I sat down beside her, and would have kissed her, but she drew gently away. "Please don’t, Frank," she said, and when her eyes met mine I saw a look in them as of some wild thing wounded to the death. “Jean!” I exclaimed. “Have I hurt you so?" “No, Frank, not you. But I am hurt —hurt,” and she pressed her hands about her bosom as though In physical pain. “It is so hard to know—to be sure—what Is right!” “How what is right?” “In books—you will understand, Frank—it is always so clear; One Is a hero; the other is a villain; it is so easy to know. But In life—I don’t suppose there are so many villains, after all. That doesn’t make it any easier to decide.” ‘Tm afraid I don’t quite follow you, Jean.” “I suppose you don’t, and I shrink from making it more clear, to you. . . . I have tried, and failed.” “Jean!” “I thought our promise—my promise —would bind me. . . . It didn’t. It won’t It can’t ” She withdrew her arm, then quickly seized both a y hands in hers. “Oh, my boy, my friend, my chum I" she exclaimed, and little crystal wells gathered between her eyelids as she spoke. “How can I hurt you so I But nothing else would be honest I have tried and failed. I lost my temper with you today over Spoof. You were playing jokes on him—making him the butt of your humor—your idea of hu mor—" “I promise you nothing of that kind will ever happen again, dear; I prom ise it, I swear it!” “But that doesn’t help, any. Don’t you see; it’s not that I care—so much —about the joke—on anybody—but be cause I love Spoof.” I hope I took the blow like a gentle man. I had the advantage of being somewhat prepared for it. “I suspected that,” I said at length. “I don’t want to stand in the way of your happiness." Then I fell from the heroic with a thud. “Oh, Jean, Jean,” I pleaded, “why do you turn to Spoof, whom you hardly know, and away from me? Have. I fallen so far short—am I so little to be desired—that you should love a stranger in preference?” She pressed her hand against my lips. “Don’t please. . . . I can’t explain. Ask me why the wind blows —why the flowers turn to the sunlight —I can’t explain. , I would ever so much rather it had been you.” “Then make it me! It is In your hands—” - "No, It Is not. I can’t change it. I have tried—and failed. Of course, I could marry, you still, but you would not want me with a reservation in my heart. .You would despise me if I mar ried you like that.” * Beneath the numbing shock of the fact that Jean was slipping—had slipped—out of my life, I was conscious that her words were true. I should not have wanted her—with a reserva tion. And so we sat in silence and In suffering, with no sound about us ex cept tlie ticking of the clock and the thumping of our own hearts, until at length Jean arose to rebuild the fire. I took it as my cue to leave. “Well, what is to be done about it?” I said, trying to speak in a matter-of- fact way, although I could not keep the tremble out- of my voice. “We must dear up the situation some way.” “Yes. We will explain, so far as It can be explained, to Jack a n d Marjorie. We must not Interfere wltli their mar riage or thelf happiness. And Spoof must not know." “Spoof not know! How shall we prevent—’’ “I moan he must not know why— ■why our marriage Is post—is off. Don’t you see, Frank'; Spoof must not know —I love him.” She whispered the last words and turned her, head away, as though ashamed of her confession. -“Not know you love him! Do you mean that Spoof doesn’t know yon love him?” “No, he doesn’t, Frank.” “And he has not made love to you?” “Not a word.” I stood pondering that fact. If Spoof, without trying, could win Jean In com petition with me, who had been trying my hardest, and who • had the ad vantage of all the intimacies of child hood, what would happen when he set himself to the business of wooing? That he would do so as soon as he knew the coast was clear I did not doubt for a moment., “I think I understand, Jean,” I said, as I turned toward the door. * This happiness is not for roe—it was too much to be expected. I had dreams K 5 ItIlMt “Oh, Frank, Don’t Go Like That!” She Cried, Her Arms Outstretched To ward Me. dreams that are not goinng to be real ized, ever. I had pictures, but they must be torn out of my life. . . . I hope you will be happy. Goodby.” “Oh, Frank, don’t go like that!” she' cried, her arms outstretched toward me. But I Bad no heart to prolong my torture in her presence. I closed the door behind me and went stum bling through the drifts toward Four teen. CHAPTER XII Breaking the news to Jack and Mar jorie was no easy task, but we got through it some way. Jack and his sister had an unhappy hour over it, but Jean was adamant In her decision. There was to be no marriage, so far as she was concerned. It was out of the question. "You are passing up as decent a chap as ever lived,” Jack told her, “on a chance of Spoof, and you don’t know that he even cares for you. Perhaps Spoof’s affections are already fixed. Have you thought of that?” "Thought of ItJ I’ve lain awake nights, with burning eyes, and thought of it. But what can I do? I can!t ask him.” “You could marry Frank, like a sensible girl.” “I only wish I could. But it is out of the question.” And with that the matter had to stand. -Jean doubled her energies in helping Marjorie prepare for the great event, and while she tried always to greet me with a smile I more than once surprised a tear stealing unbidden down her cheek. I reflected that if I was suffering, Jean was suffering, too, but there was no comfort in that, I didn’t want Jean to suffer. And why she should wring her heart over me, and yet refuse to marry me, was a twist In her nature beyond my power of comprehension. Spoof took the news with genuine or well-feigned surprise. We merely explained that the wedding was not to be a double one after all; that Jean and I had reconsidered matters, but Jack and Marjorie would be mar ried as arranged.’ "I say, I’m sorry to hear that—I mean about you and Jean. I presume it is only a postponement?” But we gave him no answer to that question, and Spoof, of course, did not press it. Christmas day' dawned bright and cold, with a whip of northwest wind and a skiff of loose snow sifting across the frozen prairies. I found myself lying awake In the morning, thinking of Jean, and of all I had hoped that- day would mean to me. This was the dream that was gone; the picture I had had to tear out of my heart, only it would not stay gone; it plagued me in my. sleep, it haunted me.in every silent moment of the day. That Jean should be so strong, so set, so immov able, and, as it seemed to me. so un reasonable, In. spite of all her delicate wistfulness and strange uncommon ness of spirit—that was a side of Jean’s character which- all the years of our childhood and youth had not re vealed to me. . . . I had not re opened my suit. I had accepted her decision. But the, old.picture would come back, and- this Christmas morn ing ag it swam before my eyes It s t i r r e d ' within me «» Immeasurable P0‘£ e £ y Slrm m asr Shouted Mar jorie poking her head into my ro Marjorie was going rfJrc^ gh g e r“ eart strangely mixed emotions. H erhea was light on her own account anu heavy on mine, and In these flays she found the bridge between laughter an tears an extremely narrow one. re r haps it was for that reason that her shout of “Merry Christmas !’’ ended in something like a sob, and, with a :IitHe rush she plunged onto my bed anu threw her arms about me; she wrapped them around my neck Md ^ 0Ulders and drew my face to hers. And as her cheek lay against mine a.U tU iwarm trickle of moisture wended, its way down, upon, and across my ll»s’ felt her frame tremble as it rested near me* ’ . _ _ flNot crying, Marjorie; not crying, on this of all mornings!” I exclaim ed, al though my own throat was full. Not crying, dear—on my account?” To that question she snuggled closer, and after a little I heard her whis pering In my ear. “It will come all right in time, brother mine,”, she said; “all right in time. I can’t think—-I can’t believe—anything else. Dont you feel—don’t you know—that It will?” And so to soothe her, and that her greatest day might not be spoiled, I said I knew it would come all right in time, but there was a stone between my -lungs and a band of iron about my chest. Marjorie kissed me on the lips, then raised her face and dried her eyes Suddenly she sprang to her feet, and I could not but admit how very good she was to look upon. Her dark hair hung loose about her shoulders; she allowed herself no curl-paper non sense, and indeed no device could have added to the beauty of her waving locks. She was still in her nightdress, although she had drawn on something warm about her feet, and, like the good wife she was always to be, she .had started the fire—a duty which I admitted properly fell to the man of the house. Perhaps it is because a man should start the fire that he so greatly enjoys having his wife do it I could hear the poplar sticks crackling as I lay watching her through moist and dreamy eyes. She was good to look upon; so different from Jean, but still so good! “Hustle up, Frank,” she cried, with a sudden return to her normal man ner. “We have a lot to do today.” . It was not until after our midday meal that I went over to Twenty-two. Jean was In her room, but I mustered the spirit to chaff Jack with such a mingling of good wishes and humorous sallies as my brain could command, and we finished the whole with an im promptu sparring match in the middle of the kitchen floor. “Watch your beak!” I commanded, “or I’ll send you to the minister with a-busted mug,” and I swung on him with enthusiasm. But Jack was handy with his fists, and something thumped in my eye like a piledriver. “Aha!” said he. “The first of the wedding decorations. Det’s make it a pair, But at that moment Jean came out, looking so radiantly sorrowful, if one can look that way, that the glory of Marjorie seemed’ as the glory of one of the lesser planets against the sun. She came to me with an outstretched hand. . “Merry Christmas, Frank,” she said, looking me squarely in the face. “Why, what has happened to your eye?” “I was just practicing,” said Jack, “and I want to exhibit this specimen of my handiwork to Marjorie before we are married. It is as well that she should understand—” But Jean was gone in quest of but ter, with which she rubbed my swell ing eye, and the caress of her fingers was worth the punch it had cost. It was now time to hitch the oxen to the rough sleigh or jumper which Jack and I had built. Into this the four of us could with some difficulty be packed, and as we reckoned it would take at least an hour for Buck and Bright to break trail to Spoof's, we loaded up and Btarted on our journey at a little before two. Spoof had insisted that the ceremony should take place at his house, if for no other reason that there might be a honey moon trip as far as from Two to Four teen, and the minister was expected at three. As the snow-clad prairie crept by to the leisurely plodding of Buck and Bright the mound which marked Spoofs house, and stable gradually de fined itself against the bright gray background of the December after noon. Spoof had been on the lookout, and while our oxen were still puffing and blowing at a considerable distance from the shack we saw him coming over the drifts with his great, rapid, English stride. He was beside us in a few minutes, bis wind-tanned face wreathed in smiles, his white teeth gleaming under a short, sandy mus tache to which of late he had been giving some encouragement. Will Jean change her mind yet again—that’s the big ques tion. What's your guess? (TO BB CONTINUED.)

YOUTHFUL FLANNEL DRESSES; NECKWEAR ADDS DAINTY TOUCH IOI.ET, indigo, blue, green, yellow, v orange and red—not only are these the colors of the rainbow but the mode has made so bold as to appropriate these gay hues for its own especial use. Not one at a time does fashion help itself to the bright tones, hut in pretty confusion are they applied in striped borderings on the very finest of sports flannels. Sometimes on the frocks made of these attractive multi-colored woolens, the stripes travel up and down, other times aro.und and around. It Is-plain to be seen from this picture that, be they vertically or horizontally in clined, stripes are very decorative in dress designing. Many blended colors appear in the striped panel effect which is at back and front of the dress shown to the indeed, not while the neckwear de partments are so temptingly display ing such a superabundance of lovely frilly accessories. It is really quite astonishing what wonders a lacy jabot or collar and cuif set can accomplish by way of transforming the looks of a frock. This season more than ever exquisite accessories are a part of the dress program. Tiiere are several outstanding Ideas to be considered in respect to fashion able neckwear, chief among which Is the matter of the higher neckline. Thi9 trend is aptly illustrated in the model to the right of this picture. Priscilla may have taken pride in just such a prim collar as this one which is of net and lace, but the modern maiden adds a coquettish bow of black moire rib- m IN MULTICOLORED STRIPES right in the picture. The solid portU-n is In mahogany two-tone flannel. The material selected for the other dress is a rose, blue and green three-tone worsted flannel with skirt portion of u striped bordering, the same also form- injt cuffs, belt, tie and collar. The manner in which many colors are being used together Is really quite unique. Solid colored crepe de chine frock's carry decorative borders "made to order,” That is, these borders are formed for each frock as desired by sewing multi-colored strips of silk to gether. Especially Is the black or navy frock enlivened with a bordering on its sleeves and across the skirt formed of inch-wide strips of crepe using, perhaps, blue, scarlet, purple, gray and yellow, thus acquiring a tive- inch-wide trimming as colorful as one would wish. That striking colors are the order of the day is evidenced in the popular ity of the bright red and wine shades bon—thus is present-day pertness com bined with Puritan demureness. Not less important than collars are cuffs. In fact stylists are placing em- phusis 011 elaborate cuff and sleeve treatments. In the smartest cloth and velveteen dresses sleeves have width concentrated below the elbow, this often being, a matter of detachable deep puffs with wristbands, the entire conjured of daintiest net laces and em broideries. In the language of the fashionist these puff-below-the-elbow effects are referred to as lantern sleeves. This idea gf removable half sleeves is proving a blessing to those who are remodeling last season’s short-sleeved frocks. For dressier occasions very hand some satins and silk crepes are being made up into the more elaborate ac cessory sets. Lantern-sleeve puffs fashioned of colorful crepes in con junction with lace make even the simplest frock take on an air of ele- DAINTY n e c k w e a r for frock and wrap as well, also for millinery to match. One of the most talked-of colors for the flannel frock is bois de rose, also salmon and peach to n e s and-raspberry shades , are com ing in with the newest fashions. A simple-flannel jumper frock In bois de rose is of appealing charm, es pecially ii enhanced with tea-colored lace cuffs and collar. Gilded leather trimmings are favored for the simple flannel frock, or tho leather may be in gay colors, such as for instance a red leather belt, collars and cuffs on a navy woolen dress, cr Qn applique decoration featuring leath er in multi-shades. Just because strictly tailored one- piece and two-piece frocks are the call of the mode do not for a moment think that women of fashion are go ing to look mannishly attired to the ooint of losing feminine charm. No gance. Now that the vogue is started there is no limit to the possibilities of this delightsome theme o£ fanciful lace, lingerie or silk collar and cuff sets. Any tailored frock is favored when it is complemented with a handsome panel-shaped jabot such as is shown to the left;In the picture. For this effective panel-with-round-collar' One crepe de chine is used in conjunction with lace. Very interesting collars and cuffs are being, styled of gay leathers, either multicolored or gilded in silver or gold effects. A further touch of novelty is supplied by clever handiwork done with colorful floss or metal threads. Often several colors of leather are used together. These leather sets are very effective.

One of the pests with wlilcli the av erage farmer has to contend is the rat. Be is by nature a robber and a pil ferer, living on the products of the farm, and giving no return. The United States government says that, this boarder who pays no board de stroys more than $200,000,000 worth of crops every year. In addition to this money loss he Is known as an active agent in the spreading of disease. This loss and the danger of spreading disease to stock and members of the family can be successfully and com pletely eliminated by the use of con crete In floors, basements and .founda tions of fnrm buildings. The rat’s one impassable harrier is concrete- floors and walls. These will stop him and effectually cut off his food supply. When this is accomplished Mr. Rat will hunt a more fertile plundering ground. Rat Menace Lessened. Where farm buildings are construct ed of concrete the menace of the rat is materially lessened. If buildings are constructed with concrete floors, lower parts of walls, and especially concrete foundations, there are no pockets in which the rats can hide or make their homes. If the use of con- crete is extended to the construction of the feeding floors the rat menace lias been absolutely eliminated. A concrete silo is ratproof because the rat cannot gnaw through its walls or get at the silage In any other way. The same is true of a ,concrete corn crib which is the favorite feeding place of rats. Thus the corn is saved for the stock or market. In a con crete poultry house the poultry are free from the danger of attack by rats. This will develop a feeling of security on the part of the hens, which will manifest Itself in the greater number of eggs produced. With concrete floors and walls the entire place can easily be swept and kept clear of all accumu lations under which an occasional rat might hide. Rats Kept OuL In a concrete granary there will be no rats to consume or destroy what the farmer has stored for his own use. The rat cannot gnaw through the floor or get in in any way excepting through the door. A concrete feeding floor or barnyard pavement prevents the rats from consuming the grain and feed distributed to the live stock. Concrete, should be used In the con struction of farm buildings as far as possible. It certainly should be used In all foundations, floors and lower parts of walls of larger buildings. Smaller buildings should be entirely built of it. Concrete construction is ratproof. It conserves stock, grains, feeds ami supplies. It saves poultry, tl protects your family against dis eases spread by the rat. xjIowing Deep in Garden Will Give Best Results “Plow deep while sluggards sleep" is as true today as it was a hundred and fifty years ago, but it is a slogan which is not as frequently acted upon as it should be in gardens It is said that in European gardens which are spaded, the garden is often worked two or even three spits deep, a "spit" being the depth to which a spade can be driven. Now this depth may not be necessary but a garden plowed or spaded ten inches deep will give enough better results than six-inch plowing to make the work well worth while. At the same time the gardener should remember that In any work of this kind. Increasing the depth of plowing must be done gradually. If the garden or field has been plowed only six and one-half inches deep, better increase the depth of plowing by a half Inch or an inch each year, rather than increas ing the whole depth all at once. Too much of the subsoil must not be brought to the surface at one time. As you turn the soil, bringing up an Inch or so of new subsoil, mix the ground thoroughly with the new subsoil, and if possible with manure or composl. In the fall you will he able to get one inch in this way and then In the spring you can get a little more, and the fol-- lwwing fall you can go down another inch if you choose. "Well begun, half done,” Is so true in the garden that it is hard to piy too much, attention to the plowing. For That Rainy Day I do not know of a method whereby returns from farming can be made uniform year after year. Bnt I do know that Ir'is possible for farmers to lay aside In years of ,good profits reserves upon which they can draw In years that are not so good. I can not help but feel that too many fann ers have reinvested their surplus earn ings In high-priced land when they should have kept at least a part of them In more liquid reserves upon which they could readily draw in times of depression.—Secretary Jardlne. Don’t Crowd Chickens Avoid filling the chicken Iiouse be yond Its capacity with chickens. Each bird ought to have at least eight Inches of space on the roost. There should be one open nest to every eight hens or where trapnests are used, one nest will accommodate four hens if the nests are visited every two hours. TH E DA VIE RECORD,- MOCKSVTLLE, N- C. e h Manure Shed With Carrier Is Favored Spteading Direct From Sta bles Is Best Plan. It is generally conceded that spread ing direct from the stable secures the greatest returns from manure. Manure as ordinarily handled Is said to lose about one-lmlf of Its value. In many sections, however, every-day handling is impossible and'in these cases proper handling can do, much to conserve the fertility as well as to keep things shipshape about the barn. The great est sources of loss In the handling of manure, are failure to absorb liquids by bedding, the leaching of soluble plant food from the heap and the burning up of organic matter through beating. These losses can be lessened by the free use of bedding to absorh stalile liquids and the building of a compact manure heap which will lessen or prevent heating and leach ing, A suitable clay or concrete basin to retain such liquids as do leak through still further reduces the loss. A roof Is not necessary unless it Is desired to protect the carrier track. A cow produces about twelve tons of manure yearly. Tills will require ap proximately f>00-(>00 cubic feet for storage. As much of the manure will be dropped In pasture you will have to determine the size required hy the lengtli of time elapsing between clean ing the pit. If there is opportunity to get the track well up it will lessen the amount of flour area required and at the same time secure n more com pact manure heap. Tf the floor is to be driveu on It should be made of one part cement, two parts clean coarse sand and four pnrts crushed stone or •screened gravel and laid about eight inches thick. Use easy grades and a rough surface to prevent slipping as the horses haul from the pit. • Hog Influenza Is a New Ailment Among the Pigs New diseases are constantly appear; Ing among our animals, and the end is not yet. Hog "flu”., may have ex isted for a long time, but was not rec ognized as a distinct entity In disease until quite recently. It spread among young swine at the stock, show two years ago and during this interim has been reported throughout the United States. Its present name Is derived from the fact that It greatly resembles in fluenza as seen In people and horses. Young swine are most susceptible, and the mortality is not high. However, it is a disease that must be reck oned with Iu siilpplng animals for ex hibition purposes, or for any otiier purpose. It may be recognized by high fever, cough, difficult breathing and congestion of the mucous mem branes. Special treatment does not seem to be Indicated; good care is the main thing. There is no biologic that will protect hogs against this disease, but the disease has not been serious enough to warrant anyone in refusing to exhibit because of hog “flu.”— George H. Glover, Colorado Agricul tural College. Satisfactory Plan for Storing Late Cabbages A good method of storing late cab bages is to put! them up, roots and nil. and set them side by side, with the roots down, In n shallow trench several feet in length. As many rows may be set out side by side as are necessary to accommodate the cabbage Io be stored. The roots should be covered with earth. Inclose the cab bage bed formed by the rows with c frame of rails, boards, or poles, or by driving a row of stakes Into the ground. This IncIosure should be about two feet In height. The frame should he banked with dirt, and the top, which may be made by laying poles across the lnelosure, should be covered, with straw, hay, or corn fod der. When it is desired to start using the cabbages, they should be removed as needed, from one end of the lied When the cabbages are taken out Ibe roots should he left In place, as Ihey will sprout and furnish the family with an abundance of greens j/a the spring Winter Care f6r Bees Preparing the bees for their long- winter vacation is a part of the fall program of work.

TJtr ROUNDWORMS CAUSE) BIG POULTRY LOSS Roundworms of poultry and Intes tinal parasites are directly or Indi rectly responsible for the greatest loss to poultry flocks. In many cases where birds become unthrifty, poori In flesh, and finally die, roundworm Infestation, combined possibly with Incorrect feed ing methods appears to be the only tangible cause. . Outbreaks of infectious disease are more often found In flocks harboring roundworms than In worm-free flocks. This Indicates that the parasites must be a factor in lowering the vitality and resistance of the birds to disease. In some states it Is estimated that intes tinal parasites are responsible for more tjian 50 per cent of poultry losses. A large share of these losses Is directly attributed to roundworm Infestation. It has been reported by some poul- try-paekiDg establishments that be tween 75 and 80 per cent of the birds purchased are infested with some form of Intestinal parasites. Such in fested birds represent an economic loss not only to the poultry raiser, but also to the packer. Nematodes or roundworms are cylin drical In- shape and unsegmented. There are several species, four of which are quite common. Tliese are the large roundworm, the ceca worm, the gapeworm, and the gizzard worm. The symptoms caused by these four species of roundworms are so similar that it is not always possible to tell when fowls are infested with any particular type except in isolated cases when the infestation is with gapeworms. Young birds may become heavily infested In a relatively short time, but may not show It Immediately. Diseased Poultry Must Not Be Sent to Market “Be extra careful not to send a sick fowl to market,” reads a warning sent to 92 county farm bureaus by F. A. Gougier, director of the poultry and egg department of the Illinois Agri cultural association. “We should not forget the serious epidemic of poultry diseases that de veloped throughout the country last year and which may appear again tills year,” the statement -reads. “Since symptoms of many diseases are very much alike, every effort should be made to prevent sick birds from reaching the market, which may cause another embargo.” The appearance of the chicken dis ease which caused the embargo to be placed on live poultry last year has begun again to show up in the New l'ork market. The embargo last win ter-caused great loss to western farm ers. Director Gougier issues this warning with the hope that the spread of the disease .and ultimate loss may be prevented this year, and to fore stall the embargo, which was So dis astrous last year. Government and state authorities are working quietly but thoroughly to stamp out the disease wherever it ap pears.

The Rarest Virtue Author Upton Sinclair said , at a Pasadena picnic: “Truth-telling is a rare virtue. It’s perhaps the rarest. Look at these modernist divisions. They’re telling the truth at least about their beliefs. But think how long they’ve been lying about them from the pulpit. “I said one day to a hack writer: “ ‘That article of yours in Scrib blers’, “Truth Is Stranger Than Fic tion,” certainly takes the cake. It’s bound to attract attention. Where did you get your facts?’ “The buck writer smirked. “ ‘Made ’em up,’ he said.” DEM AND “BAYER” ASPIRIN Pertinent Suggestions to All Poultry Owners The following questions which are put to the record flock keepers of Iowa by the Iowa State college are pertinent suggestions to all poultry keepers. “Do you Remember?" they say : When milk ever spoiled the fertility or hatchability of an egg? When a e^iiek didn’t make good growth when it had milk in its ra tion? „ What time you used to have getting a lot of early chicks hatched with hens? When you had a mongrel flock and wished some one would come along and get you started with a good breed? The time you had raising chicks on the old ground that had been used for 25 years without a change? How your chicks acted when they were affected by worms and eoccidio- sls? ' J How you tried to fight Internal parasites without new ground? Poultry Facts Feed nothing that will sour or spoil quickly/ * * * The poultry yard sheltering a lot of “back-number” roosters is not going to bring profit to the owner.* * # Don’t, begrudge the mature birds a few days’ rest—fe^d them all they will eat and they will soon be back on the Job again. * * * Water is also an essential, and, al though hens drink little In cold days, such inclinations as they may have for the liquid should be satisfied. The egg is about 75 per cent water. * * * The chicken house should not be shut up without a particle of ventila tion simply because the weather is cold. Pure air without drafts is neces sary utid this Is the chief reason for the success of the muslin curtains. Houses that are kept closed up per fectly tight - soon ,become stuffy and damp. Take Tablets W ithout Fear If You See the Safety "Bayer Cross.” IVamlng I Unless you see the name “Bayer" on package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for 25 years.

Tells WwiwIi to Avwd “Physics” DR. CALDWELL ATAGE83 To Dr. V?. B. Cald well, of Montlcello, 111., a practicing phy sician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated women and girls had to be kept constantly “stirred up” abd half sick by taking cathar- i tic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, sal low skin, indigestion and 9tomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” every UttIe while was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin be discovered a laxative which regulates the bowels. A single dose will es tablish natural, healthy bowel move ment for weeks at a time, even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all. It is often months be fore another dose is necessary. Be sides, It Is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, sick child gladly takes it. 4 Buy a large 60- D r .

The Davie county farmers are badly behind with their fall wheat sowing. The continued rains for the past three or four weeks have retarded farm work very much. Many farmers have been unable to get their wheat land ready • and some of them haven’t sowed an acre. Those who finished sowiug before the rains began are the luekv folks this fall. Quite a number finished before the wet. weather started. If the sun doesn't soon get on its job again the wheat crop ■will be mighty short in Davie next year.

Three cases of murder in quick I succession have been . condoned I within the past month by what is known as the unwritten law, which is no law at all. In plain words it Beans that when a man's home is invaded or the women of his house hold are slandered, he can take-his I pun and shoot the man charged i ^vith the crime with impunity. The I criminal who despoils a home or I slanders a woman may deserve death but no man is justified in in flicting it. That prerogative be- Iougsto the”courts alone, which are established for the purpose of publishing those who violate the Jaw. When a man becomes judge and jury himself, takes the law in his own hands, tries, the case and inflicts the punishment he !be comes an outlaw aud no “ unwrit ten law' ’ or anything else should condone his crime. Respects for the courts has been badly jarred in North Carolina become of their failure iu these three capital cases io execu'e jtidgmeut upon offend’ ers. The press is universal in its condemnation of the result of the !iii-trials. In one case the judge liimscif declared that the jury was moved bv the heart rather than the head One thing that has brought considerable surpise is the opinion of lawyers not connected with the cases at all that men are justified in taking human life.when their homes are invaded or their women slandered. If a lawyer thus tramples the law under his , feet what may be expected of the Iay- rneu? But the editors have shown a higher regard for the written law than some of the legal lights who should be more jealous of the law tliau anybody else. The unwritten law is an abomination. . It is lynch law without the mob. It is ,exact ly the same spirit' universally con demned, that laughs at‘ the courts and deputies the orderly processes of the law. Men who advocate it think themselves chivalrous but they are mistaken; they are about as chivalrous as the savage who knows no restraint and has r no re spect forJaw and order. If a man may kill another for the invasion of his home what is to hiuder him’ from including other crimes like stealing a horse burning a barn?— Charity and Children. COMPANY N. C- Development In The Mountains. It need not be supposed that the inhabitants of the North Carolina .mountains are standing idly back awaiting the comiug.iu of outsiders to do things for them, for they are exercising due diligence in tilling toe availabls soil , for themselves. TJp in Ashe County, a section a- bounding in streams and valleys and picturesque mountain ranges and peakes. they are organizing de- velooment companies of home peo pie, backed by home capital. One of these is known as the Glendale Springs Development Company. It is headed by Tam Bowie, and has bought the Dam Adams property. It the sale is included the old hotel, which is being torn away to make room for a modernly designed and equipped hotel. Flanking the hotel will be a grouping of cottages and Glendale Springs will be converted into one of the. most attractive Summerplicesin mountains. The hotel is to be of the tourist class, and from its verandahs there will be a superb view, embracing- a sweep- iug skyline from ' Phoenix Moun tain, near Jefferson, to old Grand father, at Linville. Prospective investors filtering into the moun tains next seasons on the lookout for promising sites, may find, the' better of these.already pre-empted by home peoples—Charlotte -Ob server. A Michigan train was wrecked by a motor car. The worm has turned at last. '■ 7 Immodest Dress Of Women. At last the people of the coun try are beginning to awaken to the immodest dress the girls and women of today are garbing themselves in', we should have said attempting to grab, for in many instances the clothes they wear wuen appearing on the streets could all be rolled up and placed in a gallon' bucked. Within a month three assaults have been made 'by negroes, on white women at Asheville and So licitor Swaim. of that judical dis trict gives as his opinion th.it im- mosdest of clothing are a contribut ing cause to the attacks “ Women seem not to reatize that suggestive wearing apparel has a demoralizing effect 011 ignorant negro men and boys.” the solicitor said. “ Before cold weather chang ed the models of dress, women walked the streets of Asheville dis gracefully clad. I have seen wom en walking around with clothing weighing only a few ounces Stock ings are rolled down, portions of legs exposed, no corsets worn.” He declares that there has been an increasing tendency on the part of women to become inore sugges tive in their dress all the time. “ Knickers are women Worn with the legs encased in the thinnest kind of silk *hose. Negroes, lack ing the culture and understanding of the white mau cannot reconcile these things with uiodeni fashion, and their emotions are apt to get away with them. The first oppor tunity finds the community con fronted with a horrible crime.” Not only in Asheville'-but in every other city, towii and village in the State are women going a- bout iu the public disgracefully dressed, attired in such a manner that if their grandmothers should visit this terrestrial spere again they would die from shock. AVe may be classed as an old fogy, not up to-date, but something will have to be done to curb the young girls of the present day or the county is doomed. We-believe iu young people hav ing pleasure and enjoyment but iu Winston-Salem Saturday night, the occasiou being the celebra- t'iou of Halleweeu, there were niauy immodest and indecent cos tumes aud more disgraceful scenes enacted on the streets that would should put the blush of shame to the checks of those who are sup posed to be and virtuous young women. Many were dressed in male attire and so thinly clad that, even a virtuous man turned his head aside in pity. Other young girls swaggered • on the streets brazenly puffing a cigarette be tween their teeth .and there were numerous and. sundry other dis graceful scenes that will not bear repetition. The world is slipping and our onl y hope is that the breaks will be ap plied bv those of the good who are left before ' it is everlastingly too late.—Union Republican. Co-Ops Getting Much Tobacco. The Tobacco Growers Co opera tive Marketing association anno unced iu Raleigh Saturday that it has increased its receipts of tobac co by 4,500.000 poULds and mem bers of the association have been paid $931,000 more than they re ceived for their tobacco at tnis time IaSt year. , ,-............. ' ix-Total receipts of tabacco associ ation during the past three, vears are .reported bv its management as 447,000,000 pounds. This.year tne co-ops are beiugad- vaiiced 65 per Cent of the graded price of the-'leaf which they, are placing itii the pool. He who laughs last laughi least add he.Who laughs first usually has a set of jpld teeth,. If This Isn’t Criminal I' egligeoce, What Is It? At Rex hospital, Raleigh, some days ago, according to all reports coming out of the state’s capital city, a new" born baby Wnich had been left with an expectant, mother was taken immediately after oirth by two nurses and placed in a bask et which there was nn electric heat ing pad going full blast. For hours the little frame lay there in agony until death mercifully relieved its sufferings. The affair was reported to the' corner, an investigation was- made and the nurses were exonerated from all blame in connection with the sad 'affair. There; is a law 011 the statue books of North Carolina, oneof the few thousands that are not enforced, by the way, which refers to crimi nal negl;geuce and whicn imposes very severe penalties for the same when a culprit is found guilty. It seems to us that this is otie case in which this law could surely have been brought into use and at least an example could have been made in this case, an example which would cause murses in hos pitals iu Raleigh and elsewhere to be more careful and to exercise co xitnon sense. ■ There can be no denial of the fact that there^are many “slip ups” occurring in the hospitals in this state and elsewhere and in• many cases these same incidents results in death. Usually the public isn’t in formed of the real facts in the case aud the victim is just another dead one passed out in the regular rou tine of the hospital life. But ta'ke ail innocent,'defenseless.; baby, just a few hours from one world into this and to literally cook it alive through negligence and then to whitewash the affair, seems to us to be going'too far. And as long as the law closes its eyes on such incidents as this, just so long will that sort of thing con tinue to occur.—Carolina Jefferson- Short Cuts. This is an age of short cuts to everything. No one seems to have time for the "meat” < f anything. The hair is cut short -the dress es are cut short aud the sleeves are cut short. We want our serinous short and we insist on our public speakers making it short and .“snappy.” .

Rob bing a batfk seems to be the most favored of short cuts in his class.

Another Cotton Report. It is not to lie wondered at that two United States Senators from the Cotton belt and the president of a big cottoii exchange suoald unite in denouncing the latest cotton crop estimate just issued from Washing ton. This report out-does all the othersinthat it passes the figures of all past crops and declares the South will produce 15.226,000 bales. Indeed that' would be encouraging if it were not for the fact that this and other estimates in recent weeks are already estimated to have cost the cotton growers a quarter of a billion dollars, without conferring a corresponding benefit on anyone eWe concerned with the production manufacture or consumption of cot ton and cotton products, if the South can produce such "a tremendous cotton crop in the driest year known in forty years, without a very greatly increase acreage, what might it not do in a season without rain? And if the cotton crop is discovered to be so large, isn’t it a pity that government crop estimat ors could not turn up a hundred million bushels of corn that the formers’ had been thinking the drouth had deprived them of. It is now more apparent than ever that there could have been no change in the actual condition of the cotton crop between the issuance of the re port this week and that of thexone two weeks before. The only thing that couid have guided the reports. If the crop bad opened normally then the ginning reports would have furnished a reliable barometer. But it is useless perhaps to inform those experts at Washington who make up the forecasts from the field that the gftis all over the South are from two to four weeks ahead of normal years. They will find this out ahout ,Christy nia8|1iut’'unL^4;h¥'fari(ter8',can Iioltl- mbre of their cotton than they "have tteen in a habit of doing they will be out of luck.

But Jack, as lawful owner, could afford to be generous. Jean took no such liberty. That would Jave been different. the inside of Spoof’s shack was al ways an example of orderly over crowding. It was full of useless fur niture. Inappropriate clothing, fire arms, saddles and bridles, cartridge belts, smoker’s equipment, tobacco tins, photographs, magazines, and an endless assortment of miscellaneous jc.-ihkii.ieks, all carefully placed and tended, fiven when Spoof occupied It alone It was something of a. mystery where he found space for himself In the midst of his possessions. But now Jcnn and Marjorie and Jack and I were crowded in as well, only to find a intmber of others already there. Ottr eyes had not yet become accus tomed to the semi-twilight of the In terior when a familiar voice saluted its. "Merry Christmas, ev’rybody,” It siiiii, "Didn’t I warn yon'se what ’ud happen?'’ It was Jake. He was v sitting perched like a toad on the wood-box where Ite could expectorate with con venience into the asbpan of the stove. M e dragged him Into the center of the boor and in the melee that followed Jake lost his footing and at least three ot us were precipitated with him. "Oh, save my husband, save my husband I’’ cried Bella Donna, In. mock alarm, while Spoof gravely remarked tlmt perhaps the cogitation nut. had come loose. "I am the minister,” said a straight, clean-looking young man. when the up roar over Jake had subsided. “My name is I.eeke. This is our good friend Reddy; pardon me, by the way, lteddy. what—what is your real name? I should know it for. introduction pur poses.” 1 "I left it down East,” said the indi vidual addressed as Reddy, a slight, hoyish-looking figure with a shock of carroty hair. Well, Reddy it Is, then,” said the minister, and we shook hands all around. “Reddy is an important per sonage in our'town,” Mr. Locke con tinued. “In a sense he is my chief competitor. He runs the village pool room, and, I am afraid, draws bigger crowds than I do Wednesday nights, and perhaps on Sundays, too— behind the blinds." ‘ Not guilty," pleaded Reddy. “There are no blinds on the shop." ‘I believe," said the minister, gen erously, "that Reddy’s competition is of a very honorable kind, and his presence here today is proof of tiis bigness ot heart. As it was not convenient for his customers to come to him, he has come to his cus tomers. He brings with him, I be lieve, a small tray of plain gold bands and a blank marriage license or two. I prevailed upon him to bring two or three extra licenses; it is always well to be prepared for emergencies.” . . . I looked at Spoof and found him looking at me, and then I looked at Jean and found her looking at the floor, and a faint flush of color slowly spread about her face. The flat re ception of the minister’s pleasantry was relieved by Jake, who declared Jn favor of a total- embargo on the marriage license business. "At least it should take as long to get married as to prove up on a .home stead,” Jake remarked, “an’ most fel- jo w s have a lucid Interval once in three years.” When the formalities about Uie li cense were completed the minister had Jack and Marjorie' stand together In the center of the shack, and spoke the few simple words that made them man and. wife under the law. We paid them the usual hackneyed compli ments, and then stood around look ing rather sheepish and wondering wiiat to do next, until Reddy, produced a box of chocolates and presented it to the pride. It was a simple thing, but in some way it loosed our tongues, and presently we were all laughing and wishing each other Merry Christmas. By this time the sun had set on the short December day, and night was drawing her gray curtains across the. plains. I paid for the license on Jack’s behalf and gaye the change to the minister, and we were about to thank Spoof and say good-by to the lit tle company when they announced In concert that, they were coming over to Fourteen. In vain we protested; that the roads were bad, that the night was sealing down, that the sky looked like a storm. Ajl these perfectly good rea sons why they should stay at home were converted Into arguments why they should come. Spoof, as host, yoked up the oxen and insisted that he would drive the bridal party; our jumper would carry five as well as four. “It was built for two,” he ar gued, “so one more will make no dif ference.” Pinding that there was nothing else for it we accepted the inevitable and crowded in. When, we were well un der way our attention was suddenly arrested by a commotion In the rear. It was. Jake with the - “flying ants,” and with Bella Donna and the minis ter and Reddy in his cutter. He was standing up, waving the loose ends of the reins about his head, and imprecat ing his horses into a gallop. In a mo ment he was upon.us.. “Out o’ the way, you old married People,” he shouted. “I don’t blame you fer goin’ slow, but. don’ hold up the percession.” But Spoof had no intention that the bride and groom should surrender the place of honor. With many strange adjectives he goaded the oxen, and presently noted a slight acceleration In their movements. “We’re making nearly four knots an hour,” he shouted. “That’s nothing,” the minister shout ed back. “I made a knot In less than ten minutes.’ But for all. of SpooDs urging our oxen plodded stolidly along the wintry trail, now barely distinguish able from the gray whiteness Of the plains. Flakes of show were falling, and on every side the pall of night surrounded us, drawing its circle clos er and closer. The trail was firm, but the surrounding snow was loose and deep, and to pass us Jake would have to plunge his horses through it, at considerable risk of upsetting his cutter. The old land, guide, however, hesitated not a moment for such a consideration as that. Swinging his horses from the trail he cut out at them with his whip, and they rushed by us, throwing a snowy spray like a torpedo boat passing a liner. But as it is so often the occasion that makes the man, so. now was it the occasion that proved Spoofs re sourcefulness. Climbing over the dashboard of the jumper he. ran along the tongue and threw himself upon Buck’s ample back, which immediate ly began to heave and gyrate, with an entirely new motion. Whether it was a protest against the liberty which Spoof had taken, or whether it was that the legs about his sides brought back memories of youthful days when some bare-legged urchin on a Mani toba farm rode him in wild triumph through pasture field of the parental herd, matters not; the fact is that Buck presently broke into a . most un precedented gallop, and his mate, wil ly-nilly, followed suit. They were just In time to prevent Jake’s party getting on the traii ahead of us, and In great glee we careered by them. “Forced draught!” shouted Spoof. “Fourteen knots!” But our triumph was short lived. Unaccustomed to such speed, the oxen presently began to wobble in their course and suddenly floundered off the trait ‘ 1 “Hard a-port, hard a-port!” Spoof shouted. But he was too late, or his directions were misunderstood. Over went the jumper, flinging its freshly married and other contents into the snow. The speed of the oxen wrenched the tongue from the wreck, and they continued homeward In great er haste tlian before. _ Spoof jumped free and barely es caped a defiant flourish of Buck’s heels as they flipped by him. Ruefully he gazed upon the wreckage. ‘I told the bally bullocks to swing hard a-port," he explained, “and in stead of that they slithered off to starboard.” At last the shack on Fourteen came into view, and, to pur great surprise, a light shone from the window. When we came up close we saw a number of jumpers and bobsleighs about, and the tracks of many feet in the snow. The scene Inside was an animated and amazing one. In the principal room a table had been built and now groaned beneath a load such as I had not thought the country-side could supply. It was covered with snowy linen, and an assortment of chinaware of several varieties of pattern threw back the yellow glint of two great oil lamps, one of which I recognized as having recently decorated a shelf in a comer of Spoofs shack on section Two. I had just time to catch a glimpse of a frosted wedding cake In the center of the table and a steam ing turkey at one end when Jean brought me out of my trance. “Isn’t it wonderful, Frank—wonder ful!—to think of it, and all of them so poor! Why, even, there’s Mr. Sneezit!’’ It was. true. The whole community was present. They had swarmed to qur premises In our absence, bringing the necessaries of the weeding dinner with them, and now they were lined up around the walls, guilty-faced but delighted. . I said the whole community was present, but I was wrong. Mrs. Alton and the little boy, Jerry, were not there. I mentioned their absence to Spoof when I had an opportunity. “They must not have known about it,” was his explanation. But Spoof had evidently been at pains to, make sure that all the others In the district should know. Why had he omitted Mrs. Alton? It was one more tangle in the puzzle of Spoof’s peculiar at titude toward the widow on Eighteen. When we were settled Mr. Locke arose and asked a blessing. The se rious words, sobered us for a minute, but it was only a minute.. The Btimu- Ius of tnrkey with cranberry sauce and. scalloped potatoes and boiled tur nips and creamed carrots would have stirred to gayety hearts much !heavier than ours, and It soon developed into a. noisy and frolicsome meal.. The tur key was an enormous’ bird; the at tack of all our hungry party left the skeleton hot entirely stripped. I re member . that one of the little Han sens, venturing up like Oliver Twist with a demand for more, was soundly rapped on his yellow head by a drum stick In the heavy hand of Ole, but the children as a whole were well'be haved, allowing for the example set them by their elders. Then we had plum pudding and sauce and apple pie and cheese, and nuts and candy for (everybody. Jean and I mentally rlcochetted between amazement at the generosity of the meal and specula tion as to whence It had come. No one ever told us the secret, but we did learn that Spoof had a fat check from England Jiist before Christmas, and that Mrs. Burke’s cooking of tur key and apple pie was the talk of Humboldt county in Iowa, and that Mrs. Brown positively refused first place to anyone when It came to making plum pudding, and so we formed our own conclusions. After the meal the table was knocked to pieces and carried out so that there might be more room, and as the bridal couple stood about won dering what was to happen next they suddenly found themselves the objects of a number of presentations. Mrs. Brown made hers first; six wonderful pieces of Limoges china, hand-painted by the squire’s daughter herself, and presented to Mrs. B. on her departure for Cahada. “Our present Is outside, and Tm a-goln’ to bring it In,” said Burke, putting on his cap and coat. “Oh, I wouldn’t bring. It in, Tom," his wife suggested. “Let them see it out there.” But Burke was bound to do It in style. “In it comes,” he Insisted, and plunged into the night. In a few min utes he returned with a-heavy sack on his back, which he set In the mid dle of the floor. Again and again he made the trip until five sacks were in the pile. “Ten bushels of seed wheat,” he ex claimed proudly, “and may every ker nel yield a hundredfold!" “Weel, Ah’m thlnkin’ Ah’ll be next," remarked the placid Andy Smith, tap ping his day pipe and returning it to his pocket. From somewhere he pro duced a kit of steel-worker’s tools; wonderful pieces of British workman ship, they were. I believe Jack still carries some of them In the back seat of his automobile. “No as much as Ah could o’ wisht,” said Andy, modestly, “but richt guid In' the makin’, and they’ll come gey handy when you buy that threshing mill for the neighborhood.” Just then we observed the color mantling to the tawny hair of Ole Hansen. ' “Ay tank by Ximminy Ay mak my self maybe a yoke (joke),’’ the tail Swede confessed. “Ay say to Olga, 'By dam, Olga, what you tank, Ay tak a load o’ hay'?’ She say, 4Ole, you get more fool aill the time. Hay. for a taarriaglng! What you tank -dey are, oxes?’ Den Ay say, ‘Wdl, den, w’at else?’ an’ she say, ‘Dere ain’t nod ding else,’ an’ den Ay say 4Dali hay gets it’, and so it does.” “I hope you’re not going to bring it in, too,” said Lucy Burke. “Yah I” said Ole, opening his mouth In a great circular orifice and laughing silently while his head rocked in in ward appreciation of Mrs. Burke’s joke. 44Ay tank she make good bed ding, but not tonight. Ay pitch ’im off beside dab barn." We found it was true. Ole, haying nothing to bring but a load of hay, In the fullness of his heart brought that. But an even more striking token of that community spirit., which was the salvation of these early days was now to be presented. Sneezlt had siipped out WhileHhe hay was under discus sion and now came thundering in, his broad back bearing a whole dressed carcass of pig. Sneezit did not trust his English to make any remarks, but he. smiled broadly under his bristly mustache. . . . But what I saw was a dug-out full of children, with eyes peering (Srough, the gloom, and little, wistful, sljent mouths. 44Now., it’s my turn,” said Spoof, but Jake Interrupted. 44As it happened, I was down in Regina on business connected with my estate when news o’ this approacii- in’ tleup on Fourteen reached me, by means of a note, from Spoof,” Jake explained. “At first I couldn’t make head or hinder of it, it was so bad wrote. So I took it .to a young fellow know with lots o' !earnin’; got to know him on account o’ the Int’rest he usta take In the people on Twenty- two; he found out I located youse boys an’ girls and usta come roun’ pretty, reg’lar askin’ questions casual- like, an’ I says to him, 4How , many shirts does a fellow get on this laun dry ticket?’ Weil, he read' it over slow to himself, an’ then he jusVsits lookin’ at nothin’ till I begun to think maybe there was some bad langwidge such as he couldn’t repeat In my pres ence!! An’ aftfer awhile he says, 4Jake1 Jus’ ,another,mirage; you know, those pheriom’ha’—that’s what he" called It —4on the prairie that makes-you think' things is what they ain’t. Let’s go down town,’ he says, an4 on the Way he tells me what’s in the ticket. Weil, I thought he was leadin’ for a bar, which is the best place I know of to raise a new mirage when your old one goes bust, but danged If he don’ head me Into, a jewelry store. And there he buys this.” Jake delved into a pocket and brought out a little gold pendant, a chaste and delicate example of the goldsmith's art. He held it for a moment to the admiring gaze of all present before resuming his narrative. “ 4Give that,’ my friend says, ’with my good wishes ah’ a touch o’ my re grets, to the young lady on Twenty- two, with the compliments o’ Sergeant Brook,’ he says,” and so Jake placed the little golden trinket In Jean’s hands. ., . . It was a difficult situ ation. Jean's first impulse was to hand it back. “Better accept it,” I whispered to her. 44The fewer explanations the better." “But it—it’s a wedding present,” she remonstrated. “How can I . . .?’’ . “Keep it until you need It," I sug gested. Jean was very lovely in the heightened color of her embarrassment, and as her hand fell by my side I seized it surreptitiously In my own. 44Oh, Jean, why not make it tonight?” I whispered, mad with her beauty and her nearness. “It’s quite impossible,” she answered, but she did not immediately withdraw her. hand. She left me marveling more and more over the' tantalizing complexity of her attitude toward me, Fortunately, the interest of those about us had been quickly rearrested by Jake. 44Havin4 a little weakness o’ my own,” Jake was continuing, “al though I never said nothin’ about it, not wishing to start a scene with Bella Donna, I bought its mate fer the lady on Fourteen.” And with this little, speech he placed another pend ant in the hands of Marjorie. “When I came to Canada to farm," said Spoof, after the excitement over Jake’s gift had died down, “I came equipped for everything but farming. I cotiid have started a second-hand store, a curiosity shop, an arsenal, or a music hali much better than I could start a farm. In fact, I feei like all of these things, except, perhaps, the music hall, when I look around my shack. Particularly well was I equipped against savages, grizzly bears, and mountain lions. I remember the days I spent in picking out my rifles, weighing the qualities of this arm and that, and the penetrating power of the different bullets. My biggest game so far has been a badger, whose hide now adorns the den of my immediate and admiring ancestor. Out of the abundance of my.defenses I,now bring to you, John Lane, this piece of artil lery, with the injunction that it must never be pointed toward section Two, and, preferably, not at anything else. Hang it oyer ,your portal,, as evidence that you can b.e.a desperate man upon Occasiont and let it go at that. I have been thoughtful enough not to bring any ammunition.” Spoof then pro duced, out of the' 'bedroom where Brown, acting as bis agent, had se cretly cached It, a repeating rifle, which Jack handled with as much ad miration as Marjorie spent on her pendant and then t placed it lovingly away. 44Now I believe that’s all," said Spoof. “Not yet,” Reddy interrupted. “I want to be In on this, although I didn’t come prepared.” He had written something in a notebook, which he now tore out and handed to Jack, It was a receipt for the price of his wed ding ring. Jack protested, but Reddy would have it no other way. The only one not represented by a presentation was the minister, but he proved equal to -the occasion. 4My children,” he said—he was not much older than Jack or I, perhaps about the age of Spoof—“I am not a man of the world, and consequently cannot give you of the good-things which the world provides. The theory that a minister should lay up his treasure in heaven is taken rather lit erally in these times. I am not quar reling with that Materialism is the murderous outlaw of the age, an en emy that goes bullying through the land, outraging our finer natures, over turning our Ideals, polluting our am bitions. I hope I am hot envious of his = followers. And to \you,' I give something that money could not huy— my blessing, with a, promise of my ministrations, without charge, on those future occasions upon which it may be assumed you will be in need of them.’’ The minister- had escaped from a somewhat embarrassing position with the dignity' that became his calling, and with a gentle joke that showed how very human he was at heart. Clear out the pork and the .seed wheat," Spoof ordered, as there seemed likely to be a lull in the night’s enjoyment. “Ole, it is fortunate that Mrs. Burke persuaded you not ,to bring in your load of hay.” _ ; v. go the floor was cleared. The door, when' opened, revealed a wedge of snowstorm whistling by! but Inside'the wintiy weather was forgotten and the tremor of odr shanty’s timbers passed' unnoticed. Reddy had mounted him self on our own table—the big one had been -taken out, in pieces—and .was twisting the strings of a violin, to tune. Presently his bow cut loose .a drone of dancing rhythm, and feet begaa to tap,the. plain pine boards of the, floor. 44Pardners all!” Jake commanded. It was evident he was to be master of ceremonies; he bad just taken' a great chew of tobacco to promote the flow of language. The lnsisteht' note of the violin brought Jack and me, with Marjorie and Jean, Mr. and Mrs. Burke, and Mr. and Sirs. Brown,, to the center'of the room. The dancing would be of the ’’square-dahce” va riety, which was no novelty, to us or to the Burkes, and which the others would soon pick, up under the guid ance of Professor JUke. 44S1Iute yer pardner! . . . Pass 'er by . . . Balance to the next.' And we were off. Jake and the fid dler warmed up with the dancers, and presently the shanty was rock ing with the stamp and the swing of it. Those were not the days of dancing that is little more than a walk; one danced with all his heart and body, and was not afraid to shake the floors, and ceilings. The end of the set found us per spiring and happy. And so the evening worn on. Ole and Olga joined the dvucers In the third set, and thereafter never left the floor; Ahdy Smith ventured Into Marjorie’s arms, and.in five minutes was' feeling younger than In the days of his apprenticeship on th e.Clydet Spoof danced with Jean as much ai seemed necessary. IYhen Spoof was not monopolizing her, Burke or Brown or Smith Was. But at length she spurned us all In order that she might win Mr. Sneezlt to the floor. The Russian hesitated, fearing to appear foolish, but.he would have been more or less than human if. he could have resisted Jean’s enticements, and pres ently she was leading him through the: simple movements of a cotillion. At length they went. The flurries of snow had. driven by; the moon poured its silver radiance on a world of downy ivory, and the bigger stars blinked stolidly from a- steel-blue heaven as our guests .bundled them selves into jumpers and sleighs and took their departure. Their cries of good., wishes and good luck- were wafted back to us above the crunch ing of the snow. We watched them until they faded out of sight In the white moonlight. Soon after Jack and Marjorie and Jean crossed the snow-filled valley to their overcrowded house, and left me to one that was overempty. For a long time I stood looking -into the stove, with lid and lifter In my hand, In the act of putting on more wood. The glow ot the coals went gray as I watched, and, for the first time in my life, I measured the depth to which the plummet of loneliness can plunge. . . . (TO B E CO NTINU ED .)

It was-brought up from, the bottom of. the Mediterranean sea, where it re posed hundreds of years.' As far as Mr. Allen, can trace Its history, the chest apparently was on board one of the ships that made up a Spanish ar mada of sixteen ships that went down In a storm in the Straits of Messina,' in 1258. Mr. Allen discovered it among a lot of other curios In the San Mateo monastery up in the bills back of Naples. It has a lock on it that spreads all over the under side of the lid like a. big metal, spider web. WheD the lid is shut there are a couple of hasps that come down on the front side of. the chest! through which a big iron bar. is run and a padlock attached. You'remove the big padlock, undo the hasps and lift, but your lift doesn't get you anywhere. The lid won’t come up. If you are clever enough you discover that one of the rivet heads on top of the chest moves on a spring, reveailDg a big keyhole. You insert the key, give her a twist and eleven bolts are sprung back, releasing the lid. T hereisa dummykeyhoIeonthe front side of the chest.

"With the achievement of the first great objective—the outlawing of the legalized liquor traffic in the United States and the securing of the added prestige of the ballot—our program of service has been greatly extended.” Mrs. Parks paid tribute to the youth ot the land, and asked that more young people be enrolled as “defend ers ot the ISth amendment.” “The youth of today is alert and alive! far and ahead of any other generation,” she said. “It has more pep, more vision, more real ambition, and is doing more than any other be fore it.” Miss Grace Leigh Scott, field secre tary of the social morality department, explained her work in the schools, churches and universities, as seeking a common sense- attitude toward Sexj and social problems, and an equa> standard for young men and young women.” ' “During the late war,” Miss School said, “I was employed in .entertain ment wotrk in France.

Washington.—AU of the Seaboard Air !line’s applications before the In terstate Commerce Commission foi‘ permission to build 216 miles of new railroad in Florida were granted and approval was given for necessary fin ancing arrangements. / The largest stretch of'new construc tion authorized will run from West Palm Beach through Miami to Florida City, about 100 miles, and will cost ?8,< 500,000. Other new lines are to extenA from Fort Ogden to Fort Myers, 3G miles; from Fort Myers to LaBelie, 33 miles; from Fort Myers to Estero River, 14 miles, with a 11 mile branch to Punta Rassia, and from Estro to Naples, 19 miles. Subsidiary companies will under take the construction, with the aid of a $25,000,000 bond issue which the pa rent system will guarantee. “Development in Florida has been unprecedtented and increased railway service is important as a part of this development,” the commission’s ma jority found. “No one can see very far into the future, and it is impos* sible to appraise at all accurately the future net earnings of the Seaboard and of the other railroads in that state. “Certain risks remain inherent in all railway enterprises. Investors in the Seaboard may at some time suffer losses on account of these risks. On the other hand, development may be substantial and permanent.

E A R L Y M A T U R I T Y I S A V A L U A B L E , A S S E T There is a large difference In the type and maturity of different birds of the same age and general breeding. This should be taken into considera tion when selecting birds for winter laying or for breeding purposes. The sloW-maturing birds, will show.: .long, slender heads, lack of fleshing, be light in weight and show general Signs*of lack of vigor. TBe, slow-developing birds will also lack in body capacity and development. A test which was run by the Iowa experiment station shows that the early maturing birds are the best for winter egg production and that thejj also continue to be the heaviest lay ers during the following summer. The pullets In the test were divided Into four groups, the early maturing, me4 dium maturing, late maturing and very late maturing. The results for the four winter months of November, December, Jan uary and February showed an average of 51.42 eggs for the first group, 30.85 for the second, 15.39 for the third, and only 3.2S for the very late-maturing group. In the following four spring months the difference was still marked, but not so great. The average for the different groups - were 90*65 for the first group, 73.93 for the second, 67.82 for thethird, and 35.44 for the fourth. In the four months of July, August, September and October, which com pleted the year’s test, the results were again. decidedly in favor of the eflrly maturing birds. The averages were 75.43 for the first group, 60.89 for the second, 36.62 for the third, and 15.04 for the fourth. The total for the year showed an average of 217.5 eggs for the first group or the early maturing fowls. C h o le r a I s C o n ta g io u s a n d I s S p r e a d b y H e n a Cholera is a highly contagious dis ease conveyed by bacillus which are found in the discharges and In the blood. The rapid spread of the con tagion is accounted for by the fowls eating grass or other food contami nated by excretions of diseased birds, and through spilled blood of diseased birds. Probably the first sign of this trouble is shown through the urates— that part of the excrement of the fowl which is excreted by ^he kidneys and voided with the droppings. Nor mally this is white, but it becomes tinged with yellow, and then bright yellow when the bird is infected with cholera. In cholera the solid part of Uie droppings also changes color, be coming bright emerald green instead of dark green approaching black, as it appears when normal. Changes in color of .the droppings, together with frequent voiding of ex crement with mucus and froth are danger signals. It is important to examine the dropping boards, daily when cholera is reported in the neigh borhood.' Fowls that show this trouble will usually stand with drooping wings, roughened feathers and distended crop. Birds should be killed without spill ing blood by pulling the »eck. AU carcasses should be promptly burned. Keep the flock in as small groups as possible. Disinfect frequently; keep the dust down and discourage stray dogs and visitors in the chicken yard. S e le c t B r e e d in g M a le s E a r ly f o r N e x t S p r in g The selection of breeding males for next season should begin as soon as they can be distinguished from the pallets. The Missouri experiment sta tion bred up a great flock of layers In a few years simply by selecting the cockerels that crowed first 'and the pvrliets that laid first for breeding purposes. If one does not trapnest it Is difficult to select the pullets from iarge flocks. But a few minutes spent with the cockerels early on a clear morning will readily distinguish the more advanced males. A peeping red comb is the first indication, and a squeaky crow is the second. Tlie exceptional cockerels of the Leghorn and other lighter breads will start tb crow at abput six weeks. The heavier breeds usjially .take from eight to nine wtfeks. These early erowers should be marked 'by wing bands'or leg bands and given special attention until maturity. A few minutes spent in observing the niales at this age will repay the breeder many times over for his trou ble. One,good male selected for his early crow, given special care, and used for Iireeding may advance the egg production as much as 30 per cent in a single year. D r in k in g F o u n ta in s Many non-freezing drinking foun tains now on the market are enjoying a splendid sale. Tliis is well because chickens need pure, fresh water as much in winter’as in summer. A per son can. thrive longer without water than without food, and a hen. is the same way. The poultrywan who can keep his. fowls lively, comfortable and happy during the coldest weather is the one >vlio will make the most money. On cold', rainy days It is best to keep tbe fowls confined to the house. - This woman's experience is -typical o f thousands.

At the point where the accident occurred the tracks are straight as an arrow and the road bed begins a level stretch of nearly 10 miles. Along this stretch, railroad- men said, it has been the custom to make up time and this was said to have been the ease with the St. Louis train. The W ashington train, composed of seven day coaches and three Pull mans, was traveling at about 10 miles an hour. One report was that engine trouble had developed necessitating slow procedure. Another report was that the train was ahead of schedule, that It had come to a Stop and that the flagman had gone ahead to learn if- the St. Louis train had passed the point.

Littleton, Colo.—W ith the legel status of “murder for love’ undeter mined; Dr. Harold Elmer Blazer stood free of the cln-ge of murdering his 34-year old daughter, Hazel, the “hu man husk.” Less than an hour after the jury failed to agree on a verdict, the legal stigma-, of murderer was removed when Judge Samuel Johnson granted a motion of dismissal by Prosecuting Attorney Joel E. Stone. The jury was out a little over 14 hours. The defendant received the decision with comparative- calm. “The jury should have acquitted me, but this, last move is the equivalent of acquit tal,” he said. “I. do not wish to persecute any one,” Stone said in making his motion for dismissal. “I don’t, believe this; jury oi" any other one we might obtain could 'arrive at a verdict and, in fair ness both to the defendant and the state, I move that all charges be drop ped and the defendant be set free."

FftfORS FEWER SECRETARY HOOVER PRONOUN CES REPORT MOST CONSTRUC TIVE. Couple Killed, When Feud Flares Up. Danville, Va.— Bad blood generated- over two years ago caused a double murder in Pittsylvania county near Sutherlin In which Felix, Pounds shot Andrew Cobb, who disarmed his as- sailiant and put three bullets through his heart. County authorities were ‘ trying to solve the cause of. their quarrel and" clear up facts about the Shooting but | they could fiflnd -. no eye-witnesses I Several children saw trouble brewing and . fled only to hear the reports oft.na ravnlvar. W ashington—A report containing broad recommendations for the solu tion of major problems to every branch of radio endeavor was adopted at the concluding session of the fourth na tional radio conference. Containing recommendations for leg islation covering radio regulations, for sharply reducing tie present number of broadcasting. stations to relieve con gestion " and for the elimination'1 of in- terferring elem ents in radio reception, the report was declared by Secretary Hoover, chairman of the conference, to be the m ost far-reaching and con structive yet made. He indicated that the proposals for solution of various • problems would become in a general way the tempor ary policy of his department in its regulation of radio communication but expressed doubt as to the wisdom of placing such broad powers as were outlined in the hands of any one gov ernmental office. One of the m ost Important actions of th e: conference, in Secretary Hoov er’s opinion, was its declaration that service to the radio listener should be the prime consideration in all. efforts of the industry and in its regulation. Under the resolutions adopted, no major alterations will be made In pres ent wave lengths assignm ehts, and minor changes will be confined alm ost entirely to the field, outside of broad casting. The legislative recommendations provided that adm inistration of all ra dio legislation be vested in the secre tary of commerce, with authority to appoint such advisory boards and com m ittees as he m ight deem necessary; that the doctrine of free speech be held inviolate; that monopoly In the Industry be prohibited, and that broad casting licenses be granted only to those who, in the opinion of the secre tary, would render beneficial service to the public or contribute to the de velopment of the art. Tie President, under t&e program, would be given authority to comman deer or discontinue all broadcasting WM" To Connect Highway System .

According to the latest approv ed; styles, little boys wear^ long pants- and big boys wear short pants. We note youngsters appai- ently not over four years old in IongJrousers just like, their father used to wear and'see large fat'men of fifty being young again in knick ers. But one is not surprised to see anything these days We saw a lady fishing recently. She wore blue overalls and suspenders. We could forgive the. overalls but not the suspenders.- We tliiuk she should have taken a sporting chance and left off the suspenders. Extending a helping hand is com mendable, but a hard with some thing in it is more practical. Qotton Record Set By Five Work ers of Rowan Family. The family of F..E.

Mothers are teachers and promoters of normal principles in the homes and communities of ottr country. It seeijjs to be in ac cordance in the fitness of things, in the order of nature,, that home- life should be a preparation for so cial duties and that the. mind and and character should first be form ed there. Thus the home tuav be regarded as the most influential school of civilization. But when the time comes in the mad rush ,of business life that men can spend only a little time in their homes (and that often after the children are gone, to bed) and m mothers must attend all the parties, games, picture shows and other forms of dissipation then the era of moral chaos begin to reigu in the minds and hearts of their off spring. Then the seeds of evil be gin to grow and spread in their young life until harvests Vthreaten the future welfare of thier lives. Reverence should be taught in every h .me, reverence for God—for His house—His day—His Word and His Law. “ Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man.” If there is uo regard for authority in the home there will be disregarded for law in the State. Mothers should read to their children the story of Moses and the burning bush and of Christ cleansing the Temple that they may havejdue revencesfor the place, of worship and know how to behave themselves in the house of Geverences becometh His name and Holiness His house. Due deference should be given !to those who are advanced in years,' 'and ripe in experiences. It might :be well to read iu the home some times the story recorded in the se cond forty-two children who were [torn by the beams. They had not (been taugjit in, their homes, the Iduty of due respect to the aged. iThe prophets of God are not to be aughed at by the thoughtless a; |jy the thoughtless and uninst’ruct- £d young.

The supreme court of North Carolina the past week gave evidence oi-the fact that still' in North Caroliha justjge left. In the November 1924 election Miss Lillian Harktaker was the Republican candidate for register of deeds in Surry county and de spite the unfair election law that the Democrats placed on that coun ty Miss Harkraker made a fine race and was honestly elected but De mocratic election officials counted her out aud gave the office to one, Willie Lawreuce a nonenity of Mount Airy. Miss Harkrader brouglitsuit for recovery of the office and in her complaint alleged that in one pre cinct 11 votes which he did not re ceive were counted for Lawrence, while in a second precinct seven votes were added after the poles had been closed, of which Lavvreuce was given six. Lawrence’s 111 a' joritv was given at seven vote, but Miss Harkrader complaiued that if the 13 votes, to which she alleges lie was not legailly entitled, should be deducted, she would have a ma jority of. 10. To the complaint Lawrence de murred on the ground that the. su perior court had no jurisdiction, the county canvassing broad being the sole judge of the election, and that the relator, Miss Harkrader, had not in any wise complied with the requirements of the election laws in that she failed to object to the votes as cast in the several town ships and precincts before the can vassing board. Judge Schenback bearding the cas by agreement at Winston-Sal em, March 20, 1925, overruled the demurrer aud called upon Law rence to file his answer to the com plaint. To this judgment be ex cepted and appealed. The su preme court the past week affirmed the decision of the lower court and the case will now be heard m the Surry county superior court uuless it should be moved elsewhere. Heretofore the election board in his slate has always claimed to 'be bigger than the supreme court and one of the Democratic slegans has been “‘you can't go behind the re turns.” It made no difference if a Republican got more votes than the Democratic official wished to throw out enough Republican votes to elect the Democrat it was done and there was no redress. The supreme court by its. action by the Harkrader case has opened a new day for the long suffering people of North Carolina aud per haps in the future, but not likely, Democrats will be a little more careful about counting votes' for their uomiuess that were Dot cast. Should Miss Harkrader be suc cessful in court “Little Willie” will have to turn over all Uie fees that he has collected since he held the office. This doubtless will cause hitn to die of heart failure.—Union Republican. to be,Women are getting on, sure. The New York newspapers report one Mrs. Grace Leatoe, re siding in the Metropole hotel in that city, as filling a petition in bankruptcy in which she sets out her abilities at $7,000,000 aud her assets at $600.

No. He hitches on to his binder, and guides and directs it, and the job is done. It is just so with your, co-opera tive orgonifation. It will serve you just so far as you hitch on to it and give it the benefit of youi thought und co-operation. The a mount of personal interest that the farmer giver gives the co-operative organization to which he belongs will be the measure of the benefits which the organiza ion will render to orgriculture. Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child. For 47 years, E. C. Class has held continuously the past: as superintend ent of schools at Lynchburv. Va. Superintendent Glass, who also was educated as a boy in the schools which he came to direct, believer? in the principle that “to spare tht rod spoils the ctyild.” He points as evidence to 156 cases of corpora punishment in his schools during the last season. That use of the rod is decliuit^v from the fact that although ther* are now four times as many students in-his schools as were enrolled in 1879, when Mr Glass first ^took the office, there were in his initial year 2,119 cases of corporal punishment. Ttie majority of' “whippings” were administered to negro children by negro teachers. Longwortb Outlines Congressional Program. Nicholas Longworth who will be elected speaker at the convening, ol congress in December delivered an address before a Republican club in Chicago, the past week, outcoming congress in December will be asked to adopt. 1. Economy thruout but not at the experience of the army or navy,' 2. The reductions of approxi mately $400,000 000 with the sur tax cut to per cent, the bill becom ing law before Christmas. 3. Unyielding opposition to the LaFoIlette farm blue of the North west, excluding “Progressives” from important committees. 4 Further strengthening of the immigration laws and no tampering with the tariff. Regarding Vice-President Dawes’ campaign to revise the rules ot' the senate, barring filibusters. Long worth declared the senate talks tuo much, but that the house does not. "It is my opinion,” said Long- worth “that no tariff law or law touching taxation ever can be pass ed in this country which will not be attacked and criticized, often quite legitimately. But I do not hesitate to affirm that the existing tariff law is working most satisfac torily. The principle of this law will not be abandoned so long as I am speaker of the house of representa tives.” Goes After Jimmie. Jimmy Walker, the newly elect ed mayor of JNew York, says: ‘ There is no limit that I will not go to, to close every den of iniquity stickup man from the streets.” Yes and talk is all he expects to do. If he really means what he says, he would clean up his own incubator, Tammany Hall, first. The dive keepers, boot-leggers, foreigners and Romanists, all of the same ilk, elected him so he can’t be anything bt4t a demagogue and time server to say nothing ofj handling the truth carelessly, ; for to say the least ny’ Ne'w'- York or Tammany politician, has yet' been known to harm the gang that put them in office.—Caroliua Watchman. : Home Ties Resting Loosely in Durham Declaring that the past two months have seen the largest num ber of runaway boys and girls and the greatest number of divorce suits filed in Durham county that a like period has ever witnessed in Durnatn, W.

Some of the hungry office hunt ers seem to think that there are two many Republicans on the .jury that was drawn for the December term of Davie court. Owing to the fact that there are so many more Republicans in Davie than there are Democrats it is natural that the majority of jurors would be Repu blicans. We heard one p otninent gentleman remark, in discussing this question, that the more Repu blicans on a jury the belter iury you would have. That gentleman must have been a Republican or he couldn't have said- such a- mean thing. When the Democrats were in power in Davie we believe they had some Republicans on the jury.

Won’t you come in?” And he entered, his eyes twinkling at the adventure. “My name is John McAndrew,” he introduced himself. After a- moment’s startled scrutiny, the girls threw themselves upon him, crying out together: “James McAn drew ! Our Jem- m y Mac! Oh, we’re Nancy and Jane La id law grown up! Don’t you remember? In Rome when we were little.”' “John Laidlaw’s bairns! Do I re member!” He put his arms about them. They drew him Into th e. easy cbalr beside the old fireplace and told him their story. “But how did you come here to day?” they asked him. “I was passing by and felt I had to turn In here to see the old place where John LaidIaw anil -I used to live and paint when we were lads.” “Father once lived here?" “When we were lads," be repeated, “I fell it," Nancy whispered. After dinner as the firelight and the yellow candles were dying, James Mc Andrew said: “Do you ken why we met here today? I think John Laid- Iaw brought us.” “He always said fairies bring gifts to the daring,” said Jane. “ ’Twould never do, then, to disre gard the fairy gifts,” he said. “So from now on, shall we not stay to gether, the three of us?

R E C O E P , M O O K S T X L L E t N . C . I S H B O r n i C H A P T E R X III —12— I ,had given Jean up, .under protest, as tbe only thing to do. But having made my protest I meant to . accept Fii., my fate with dignity; I would take ^Vr my sentence like a man. and serve it without whining; I bad been long in going to sleep, and as a consequence had’ awakened late. Tbe sback was bitterly cold; the only comfort lay under my heavy blankets. As the light increased I counted the knobs -«f frost thnt had formed on the end's of the nails that came through the roof. I had never noticed tliat so many nails had missed the rafters. AVe were rather bad car penters. My mind leaped back to the time when we built the shack, clear ing all the events crowded between, as the vision leaps from height to height across great valleys in the prairies. How unreal and-far away it all seemed I But another leap carried me to the bank of a river, and little children playing in tlie sand, and a slow-pacing water wheel that sprayed its mist of diamonds in the sunshine. I saw her little calico dress, her little brown bare feet, tlie ringlets of yel low hair hung about her cheeks.. That was Jean. . . . Tbe clock had stopped! It was with terrific suddenness that I realized the clock had stopped and in my barren shanty was the silence of the tomb. Its round, glassy face grinned an im becile grin at me from its place, on a shelf on the wall. Its hands showed a quarter to four. . . . Well, there was nothing very mysterious about that. In the excitement of the wed ding party I had merely forgotten to wind the clock. Only an overwrought nervous system could discern anything uncanny. In that. I reasoned all* this out, w ith ' absurd deliberation, as I rubbed my eyes and wondered why the clock had stopped. Or perhaps the frost had stopped it. My watch had fared better, and when I drew It from my pocket on the corner of tlie bed the friendly bustle of its ticking was reassuring to my ear. I could hear the companion able canter of its balance wheel gal loping down the road of life by my side. “Next to a dog,” I said to my self, “a watch is the best friend a man can have."✓That set me thinking about dogs, and I wondered why in all these months I had neglected to provide my self with a dog. As a sort of insur ance, I grimly reflected. One always can fall back on a dog.. The hands of the watch said half-past eight, and I suddenly remembered that there were cattle to feed, ’it wonld be a decent thing to get up and do all the chores that morning, if they were not already done. So I drew my underwear from beneath my pillow, and sprang from the friendly shelter of the blankets. I hurriedly started a fire; watched it until it bad a proper draft; turned the damper In the pipe to guard against its getting beyond control after I left it. Then, after drawing on my peajacke,t, cap and mitts, I set out for . the stables. The morning was gray, with a scattered sifting of small snow flakes, but the nip to the 'air was not nearly so uncomfortable as it seemed when contemplated from under the warm blankets. I reflected tliat com fort and happiness are largely a mat- ter of tht point of view. But that doesn't help when the bottom has fal len out of your particular universe. The stove lids were red hot and the kettle was belching forth a small gey ser of steam when I got back to the shack. My search for remnants from the feast of the night before was as tonishingly fruitless, until I remem bered that tlie young Hansens had been turned loose upon the left-overs. So I Ctioked a mixture Of oatmeal and water, which I called porridge, boiled two fresh eggs, thawed out part of a loaf of bread, melted a piece of butter, and sat down .to a meai that was hard- l^. calculated to make me rejoice Jn my single blessedness. After breakfast I washed my few dishes, swept the -floor, made my bed. and generally set the hou& In order. Even then it was only ten o’clock, . with nothing more to do until noon. At . noon there would'be a repetition of the routine, and then nothing to do until/night.. At night, there would be supper and the evening chores, and nothing more ' to f3o until morning. And the next day the same, and the same, and the same. It was mid-afternoon when Jack burst in upon me. “Wellr old Robin son Crusoe, how goes solitude?’.' ,be demanded. . “Rotten,” said I, “but I can always change my mind If I want to.” “Aha I” he exclaimed, in return, clasping himself about the middle. \ “A blow in the fifth rib! A subtle blow under the fifth rib!” ' Jack was obviously In great spirits, , but with a sudden soberness be sat 1 _ down beside,, me,, and I felt'Ills hand <m my knee. “It's not quite the thing, old cliap," he said, “to. cut us dead. ■ ' Just because we’re married—ithatiis, v some of us.” “I .haven’t cut you,” I- retorted. “Give me time.” i “I know it’s a raw deal for you," he went • on. disregarding my inter ruption, “and I’d give—Fjf give—half o f my happiness, if you like, if I could put It right. It’s a little embarrassed; for us all. But don’t you think jean is worth a fight—a little more tight than you have made?" . “I understand English," I ''puir- B y ROBERT ,STEAD A u th o r o f “T h e C o w P u n ch er,” ttT h e H o m estea d ers” ' WNtJServlM Oopyngbt by Bobart Steftd ticularly Jean's English, if she wants .me now she'll have to say so.” v “Oh, get off your high horse. He’s a lame nag, anyway! Jean thinks she loves Spoof, but she doesn’t She’s Just Infatuated with him. She’ll- grow out of th at But you^z might help her along a little.” ‘Tm not so sure. Spoofs a pretty decent chap,” I said, inw ardly. giving myself credit for amazing magnanim ity. “Of course he is," Jack agreed, somewhat too readily, as It seemed to me. “But that has nothing to do with it. Jean isn’t putting you and Spoof under the magnifying glass, so to speak, and studying out whicfi is the more decent chap. It isn’t done that way. And to save her life she couldn’t tell you why, today, she thinks she loves Spoof, and wliy, tomorrow, she will kdow she loves you. Reason doesn’t .enter into these things at all.” “That doesn’t make it any easier for me.” — 1 “Maybe not,” Jack admitted. “And, as I have argued that reason doesn’t enter into the consideration, I suppose it is of no use to reason about it Then let us get onto ground you can understand. Come on over for sup per.” • I accepted with more alacrity than might be expected of a young man who was resolved that although tied to tlie stake he would not-thrust his feet in the fire. Marjorie kissed me when I w ent'in—a kiss for her dear old bachelor brother, she said, obvious ly in fun, but I think there w as, a pang of deep sisterly sympathy under neath. Jean was calm, poisetf. self controlled ; her eyes seemed larger than usual, and the white' of them showed that clear blue tinge, that is found In some kinds of delicate china. Either the lamp light was pecu liarly yellow or Jean’s complexion was below the mark. She" chatted freely, almost too freely, and laughed upon occasion, but there was no ring In her laughter. Altogether, it was rather a difficult evening. We played cards after sup per, and tried, as so many others have done, to forget our troubles In the chance of a lucky hand. Even the cards were against me. Jean and I had always played together, but to night Jack insisted that it was not meet that a man should have his wife for a partner at cards, so our combi nation was broken. I may have had a subconscious and disturbing feeHng that Jean’s band, to my left, would have made better holding than any thing I could hope to draw from the deck. At any rate I played abomi nably and went home early. And so the days-dragged on. I kept a corner of my south window rubbed clear of frost so that I might main tain a lookout for a visit frdra Spoof, for although he was ray rival, or be cause he was my rival, I felt that I bad with Spoof something very much in common. But Spoof seemed sud denly to have discontinued his visits to Fourteen and Twenty-two, and for the first time in that winter the trail to his shack was entirely overblown and obliterated In a waste of snow. Jack came over et'ery day, and Mar jorie and Jean came two or three times a week and gave my shack the “So It Has Come to That/M Said to MyseIfv- wLoye-Siek Doggerel!” • womanly touches of which'it was be ginning to stand In need, hut- jean never came alone. I began to under stan d that tlie prairies give solitude without privacy; if one seeks privacy, he goes to the city for it, In this way a couple of- weeks had passed when one evening It occurred to me that I could kill a dull hour or- two, and discharge a \ somewhat neg lected filial duty, by w riting a ietter to my father. Investigation proved tliat"T bad no writing paper, so I went over to Jack’s to borrow some. 1 They had none, either, but Jack produced an old.account book, w ithsom e blank sheets In It, which we decided would do quite well. In those days we weren’t particular abppt stationery. J Jean was ip her robm . tfhile L was there, and did not comt; out, so In a; few minutes I returned to Fourteen^ There I set the lamp on the fable.and spread the old account: book put be fore me. It once had been owned by Jack's father; the first pages were fllledAvltli items which apparently bad to do with the purchase of the Lane farm land with Mr. Lane’s services, In the woolen mill. I glanced over them with casual Interest and as- 1 did so a lootse slip fell from ,the pages. I picked it up from the floor and found a number of lines In Jean’s handwrit ing: . ; W hen through ,the livelong day I aleh And ponder on my sad estate, I would my Nemesis defy And burst the bounding cords of Fate. Now would I tear each bond aw ay; Now would I risk your sad reproof; Come, let us live and love who may: Come to me. . . . SpoofJ ' “So It has come to that,” I said to myself. “Love-sick doggerel!" I crushed tlie sheet o f paper in my hand In a rage, ev^h while a hot flush of color ran up my face at the realization of the fact that I had read something never intended for other eyes—for my eyes least of ail. So she could tear the bonds away; she could risk his “sad reproof’; she.could do anything but find words to fill out the feet of the last line. “Come to me. . . . Spoof!” With a sudden stabbing at my heart the question interrogated me. Could Jean be Ingenuous enough to use those dots, after the manner of our modern writers, to suggest some thing wliicb she shrank from saying in plain English? * * * • • » * I resolved to have It out with Jean. There was no sense in letting things go on like this. Jean had happiness within her grasp, for the taking, but she persisted In writing moonstruck doggerel to a man who apparently cared no more for her than for the post tliat marked the corner of tys section. Spoof's continued and delib erate neglect—I called it neglect now— admitted no other explanation, I spent a wakeful - night thinking about this, and toward morning I got up and retrieved the crumpled bit of paper which i had thrown into a cor ner of tlie kitchen. I spread It out and read the -lines again. A night of reflection had worn the edge from my indignation, and I admitted that, from an artistic point of view, the verses were perhaps not so hopeless as I had thought them. Indeed, they suggested a certain germ of poetic ability. A littls devil of conscience began an in surrection in my sense of fair play, demanding to know if I could write as yell myself. But I am no poet. I fook a pencil and' put down the word Jean, and then set about hunting for rhymes for it, but I could tlilnk of only two—“lean” and "bean.” Neither of these seemed to lend itself to poetic treatment Suddenly a whiff of memory rushing in from somewhere sent me scuttling aipong old school books at the bottom of my trunk. It was a whim of mine to keep my old school books, if only that in after years I might read and appreciate the little gems of literature which, with the assistance of a phleg-. matic teacher, I cordially hated when a child. Here it was—an old Ontario reader with a sensational story about' an Indian woman who killed a bear with a butcher knife, or some such weapon. My sympathy, I remember, had always been with the bear, doubt less because of the picture which was made to represent the Indian woman. I had read this story again and. again, when all other passages in the book had failed to interest me, and- some little long-forgotten cell of memory said I would find a fragment of paper tucked between these pages. Sure enough, there it. was I I drew it out eagerly, but tenderly and almost rev erently, and-held. It under the lamp. How that strange, childish scrawl seemed to run all ovet- my heart and pucker it into little gasping pockets! I could feel a thumping between my lungs and^ the hard beating of- m y' pulse went throbbing through the pa per in my fingers. • ' - \>Vhen I am old" And very tall I hope my name ' W ill be .Mrs. Hall. A mist came up out of die past and blurred the scrawly letters until they swam before my eyes and Vaded out of- sight. They had carried me back to the dear dead days of childhood— that Eden of life which comes before the disillusionment Which is the Fall. The years between had gone out with a gulp tlisiVfilled my throat, and again we were little children playing to gether, solemnly mating ourselves for the future under the witnessing mur mur of tlie great pine. That had'been one of th O reat days In my life, and .I had not known It then. I wonder how often'we know the ■ great day when it is actually upon us? But in that day I had drunk.'In something which.bad become part of my System; part of my flesfc and bone and braiti; part, of my hope, • my aspiration: my .life. 1 And now would ‘ I give it up7 N ev er- never! I pressed the precious missive to my . lips and suddenly the dam -of my overwrought nerves gajfe way, and' tears foslied down upon'toe.,. With a man’s shame I would have checked them If I could, ,but the flood would not be stopped—and there ,was none to See. I fell Od my bed and let the storm sweep over. m£_ ’ . • After a while ca'nie calmness, and with that ealro^e&s.the resolutioa which I recorded in the opening lines of this chapter. I would have It out with Jean. I would pat up another fight for all that made life worth the living. I would not accept my fate; at least, I would not accept the fate to which Jean had resigned me. She would see! . . But this was a battle which• could not be fought In public, and I racked my wits for some way In which I' might lay siege to Jean—alone. I hardly could ask Jack and Marjorie to get out1- of their own house while I subjected Jean to the main drive which was to break down her resistance; much less could I Invite Jean to Four teen for the same purpose. The Pralrles1Avlth all their rvast spaces, re fused me Just that one little niche of privacy I needed. As -I turned the matter over In my mind a clever plan unfolded Itself before me. I would make a sled and invite Jean to go coasting somewhere along the banks of the gully. Then we would wander on and on, the ftirtlier the better. Fortunately some boards remained of the table which had supported the wedding feast, and. I went to work with, a will. The reaction from in activity was in itself a tonic, to my spirits, and I found myself whistling an improvised tune which I titled to But the Descent Was Steeper Than She Thought; Her Momentum Over balanced Her, and in an Instant I Saw He'r Careening Wildly Down the Slope. the-words, “When I am old and very tall, etc.” Hope rebounded, as hope will, fijoni its dip into despair, and I began to picture the shack on Four teen as it would be under the loving care of “Mrs. Hall,’’ and the joy tliat we would find in it s seclusion. The winter months, which had been drag ging so unutterably, suddenly threat ened to be all too short I completed my sleigh and presented myself at the door of Twenty-two. Jack looked upon the vehicle with evi dent misgiving. I may have built it rather stoutly, but that was no reason why he should suggest that I hitch an ox to it. “An ox!” I retorted. “This is built for speed. I am going to ask Jean to go coasting.” . ' v “Aha!" said Jack, significantly. “I wish you all possible—speed.” Jean showed no reluctance about go ing. She drew on a woolen sweater and a short, cloth winter coat with a collar of some fluffy kind of 'fur which had ,originally grown on xa cat. She had a little fur cap of the same ma terial, which she pulled down snugly on. her head, and we were off. . We followed the crest of the gully for some distance in the direction of Sneealt’s farm, ostensibly in search of a good coasting spot, Kut actually much engaged with our thoughts and the real purpose of. our outing. That -Jean understood im p erfectly I . was con vinced, and under such, circumstances the fact that 'she had so readily ,ac cepted my invitation was at least a hopeful omen. 'Walking- on the untracked -show In midwinter is an uncertain business, and the prairie people rarely make use of snowshoes. . For -the" most part there was frozen crust_ that bore our weight, but this crust has an unfor tunate habit of giving way at unex pected moments, particularly when one has Just taken a big. stride forward. There , is an effect, very much like coming uprfn the ,head of the stairs in the darkness when you think you are k ill safely walking along the hail. It precipitates one forward with grteat suddenness, but fortunately snow 16 a good thing to fallen. We scrambled to our feet, laughing and In high ,spirits. It wasva . wonderful thing/to laugii again, and. mean It"-' I ; At last we found a place where the snow had. curved In a great white plume oyer the.bank of the gully For fifty or sixty feet It dropped away Ir an absolutely .smooth descent;' then 'Cjune a sudden pitch, as though a -great Iladle had scooped ;out the drift: theii a succession of- little billows whlpned- the Iiilfle 0r^sa cut-rents at t11* foot Of- “It looks good,” said Jean. “Let me see if it-ig- firm.”- • - 7 With lhaf she ran out upon the drift her dainty feet tripping down it like a bird; But the descent was steeper than she thought rfieT- momentum over balanced h& vand In-an instant I saw her careering wildly down the slope; her arms outstretched, her hair • flylri'g loose .from under the rim of her cap. Near-the foot she disappeared entirely. ’Perhaps I sliodld have rushed-after her, but I didn't.. I sat down leisurely nt the iop of the hill and waited for her to reappear. Presently a inltteneii ,hand came up ,over the crest. whldi hid her from view; then' something something round and farry, like a sleeping bitten;-then a forehead, two eyes, and a glimpse of cheeks. “Aren't you ’ coming downr—to: help me?” she called. Now^l had meant to stand on my rights; to tell Jean that she had gone down the :hill on her own accord, and might come' back I n the same w ay; perhaps ‘to poke.'some quiet mirth at her. efforts to scramble up - the slip? pery drift. When a man contemplates matrimony he may as well settle a t once who’s who, and why. Now was my time to be firm. “No, Tm not coming,” I said. / Jean looked at me for a moment, In surprise; then uttered not another word.__ But from Iier^liand' she (Irew -her woolen-mitten, andraised her fine, .firm fingers in; the air.1 .One of those fingers crooked, with, the knuekle bent toward me, aira, the finger pointing to her face; then, with a' little seductive, flicker, she beckoned me to her. . . . It was too much. I sprang on my sled and shot like an arrow to its target. “Isn’t it wonderful, wonderful I” she exclaimed. “AJ1 this white wilderness to play"in, to shout in—Listen!” And she helloed at the top of-her" voice. Only an echo, beating back from the banks of the gully, answered. See, we are all alone—alone in all the worljj. Why didn’t you bring me out here be fore?” “Are you glad to be alone with me, Jean?" I asked, drawing her hand into mine. “Are you glad to be here, alone, with me?” “Why, yes. You are my friend.” “Only your friend?” “Oh, see, there's a place where per haps we can slide right over the pitch! Let’s !” She was - on the sled In an instant, and I behind her. I kicked it loose. With: a gentle crunching sound' the runners started scraping through the snow ; then, as the speed increased, the sound rose to a whine which mingled with the rush o f air in our ears ,-and the spray of snow in our faces. Jean’s heels were just above the sudw sur face, and when, as happened once or twice, they dropped too low, they showered us with flying icy crystals. Tiaen, just at the dip, one heel drove in much too deep—too deep to be ac cidental—the sled trembled, turned sideways, and went over. We/disentangled ourselves, laughing, but we did,not immediately reclimb the hill. I found a sheltered spot In the -pitch where we might sit on -the sied with our backs to the great drift- while our faces caught the slanting warmth of the sun and our eyes could range the field of. tiny rainbow signals thrown up from tlie ripple at our feet Jean broke up the crusted snow with the heel of her overshoe; then buried her feet in the powdery mound. Pres ently a toe came wiggling up through it. . . . . “Jean, don’t” I cried. “You take me back to those old days! We under stood everything then; then everything was supposed, to be settled.’-’ The toe settled to stillness in its burrowing; Jean’s sensitive lips, too, settled to a-stillness firm and sad. “Tell me. Jean,” I pressed at length ;• “w hycan’t we go back; why can’t we start over again—like that?” “We have always been good friends,” she murmured. - “Good friends—yes. Must it stop at that?” “And neighbors,” she continued. “W e-have always been goad neigh bors. Perhaps that is the trouble.” . “How—the trouble?’* “Well, it’s like this,” she said, and again the -toe began to gyrate in the snow. “We’ve known each other so well, and so long,- there-isn’t anything — much—left to know, is there? Could you stand the boredom of a person who has no new- thoughts, no strange ideas, no whims—nothing that you haven’t already seen and known a.hun dred times?” “Therenever could be boredom with you,'dear, ju st to have you with me, to - feast on- you, to know you were mine, would beenougli fot me.” n “For about a week.

As between breeds, there are three points that should ’be considered: (I) Tiie breed that predominates in the locality where the new herd Is to be located; (2) personal prefer ence, and (3) market requirements for the product. Advantages of Same Breed. There are a number of advantages to a dairyman in having the same breed as Ills neighbor. A dairyman just starting with pure breds may feel that since his neighbors have one breed of cattle he should get another breed, so as to have a monopoly in the business offsetting breeding stock. There Is no question about the nfo- nopoly, but there would be no busi ness to monopolize. . It is difficult fur an isolated small breeder to dispose of his stock to advantage?-- while if there are many breeders with the same breed buyers are attracted to the locality because of the better chance to g e t, the de sired animals from one or more of the several breeders. • Other advan tages in having the same breed as the neighbors are the opportunity to ex change bulls, or to own good bulls co operatively ; to take advantage of breed sales of surplus stock: and, lastly, the advantage of bringing the community together in other endeav ors' which usually result ^liere there is.but one breed. Best With Breed He Likes. Because a man will usually do best ■tvitii a breed that he likes it Is well to give this., personal preference the right of way when there is no oilier breed already established, providing, however, that jW as high quality animals are available In the preferred breed as in some other breed. These topics are discussed In a bul letin Issued by the bureau of dairying as Farmers’ Bulletin 1443. A copy of this bulletin may be had free of charge, as long as the supply lasts, upon request, from the United States Department lXif Agriculture, Washing ton, D. C. Mineral Mixtures. Good for Live Stock Feeding While the -use of mineral mixtures for animal feeding is comparatively recent practice, its reception by the better-informed breeders indicate that it is going to play a very impor tant part in live-stock feeding in the years to come. There is no question but that this practice is going to be as universal In the course of the next few years' as that of feeding lilgli- protein supplements. Bvery bit of evidence that can be brought to mind along this subject Indicates that it is the only practice that offers any pos sibility of solving many of our breed ing' problems that are bothering us at this time. While the experimental work to date lias been very limited, and we are not able in terms of ex perimental data to point out all of the advantages of this practice, yet prac tical ’results and experience, are prov ing daily that such a practice Is net only wise but economical as well. Setting Rhubarb Plants in Spring or in Autumn Rhubarb may be set in the fall or spring. The roots should be dug care fully so as not to break off too'many of the larger roots. The old roots should be divided so that each piece .'will have from three to seven strong buds. Rhubarb should have good soil, plenty of rich manure, and tf’ell cul tivated for best results. It will not produce good stalks if planted In sod or along fences where It Is never cul tivated. Set the crowns two Inches below.! the surface. There are several kinds ,of rhubarb.

P o u l t r y E s s e n t ia l s f o r E g g s in W i n te r Good Protection, Right Feed and Gare Are Factors. The power to lay; protection by a good poultry house, and proper feed and care >are the four cardinal points to assure winter production of eggs according to Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry department at the Nortli Carolina State college and a practical poultry grower of many years’ experi ence. “The house needs to be clean, well ventilated, with a dry floor anti a tight roof,” says Doctor Kaupp. “I f the house Is out on a good range, so much the better, as the birds can then get some green feed. W e have furnished thousands of plans for such houses and any grower may obtain them tree of charge. “The next thing to consider Is the power to lay. The average unselected farm hen will lay but 72 eggs per year. By selecting the best layers from the flocks and the most’ vigorous cocker els for these liens, the flock can easily be brought up to an average of 150 eggs per hen per year. “But no matter how well the breed ing lias been done, If the ^ourig pullets are not fed by keeping plenty of masli before them at all times and a good scratch feed each morning and eve ning, they cannot lay. Winter eggs generally come from the pullets grown during the past season, because the old hens have molted and then gone through the rest season. - The pullets, therefore, must be fed and when feed is doled out, they get only about enough for body needs and none with which to produce eggs.” Doctor Kaupp '■states that ■ speed in egg production depends directly on the amount of the proper kind of mash the bird takes in each day. Com alone will not make eggs. Doctor Kaupp reconunei.ds a grain mixture composed of corn, wheat and oats, feeding one pint to each 12 hens, In litter, In Jilie morning and the afternoon. LAYING HENS NEED PROTEIN IN RATION Honey Crop of 1926 Is Dependent on Fall Care Do you know thnt your 1926 honey crop is largely dependent on what you do with the bees this fall? If your colonies are too went In bees or have old failing queens, you cannot pos sibly secure a profitable crop next summer. If you have good queens and strong colonies to go into winter quar ters. you may still lose many colonies this winter and fail to secure a maxi mum surplus of honey next season. . You cun almost entirely avoid tlie possibility of a poor crop In 1920. If weather is at all favorable, by practic ing the following management this fa ll: Unite all colonies which, when ex amined on a cool morning, do not cov6r more than two frames on both sides; The, simplest and best plan to unite, is to place one ‘brood chamber directly on another, with a single sheet of newspaper • between. Leave this way for one week and then shake all bees into one brood chamber. The two queens will fight and" the stronger one Invariably survives, so no notice need be taken of the queen when uniting. Colonies must-not be united If Amer ican foulbrobil is present, otherwise the disease will be spread. Many farm flocks get little or no protein in the winter and as a result lire overfat and make a poor produc tion. Farm hens are often given a whole carcass to feed on one month and no meat the next. As a result they are thrown out of condition and often are poisoned by spoiled meat. There are;. three .ways in w h ich animal pro tein can be secured. A steady supply is essential. Rabbits.or dead farm an imals, when available, can be cooked and ground or chopped up, dried and put In a box where liena can eat when they want. Skim - milk or buttermilk can be put to no more profitable use on the farm than Ia producing winter eggs.. Where a box of meaUor a sup ply of milk are. available all of th« time, it may not be necessary to put meat scraps in the masli. but If there Is a shortage of these It will pay to buy meat scraps. Table scraps should be fed as a sup plement to the rajion. at noon. Feed grain morning and night In. the lll^er. In very cold weather the scraps may be fed warm In the morning and grain at ten o’clock. , It Is advisable to.u se home-grown grains as much as possible. On the dry lands where tlie fibrous grains are largely grown, such as oats, barley, cane and millet, it Is advisable to buy either wheat or com. Xf com, use It whole instead of cracked. The small grains should be fed In the morning and tlie corn at night. ' Where there are quantities of grain strewn about the farm yard It Is good practice to feed a few table scraps In the morning, keep the hens shut up with the dry mash until noon, and let them run to the grain in the after noon/ Make sure there is fresh water to the henhouse in the morjjjlng.— O. C- Krurn, Extension Service—Colo rado Agiicuftural College; Producing Winter Eggs - Is Question of Feeding One of the most Important factors In producing winter eggs is not only hatching pullets early but pushing them along from the time they are hatched to maturity. The feed re quirement? for growing pullets can be met with 'a mash made up. of the fol lowing: I part wheat bran. I unrt wheat middlings, I part ground yel- I low corn, I part ground heavy oats, I , part meat scrap, I per cent salt. This masli should tie kept before tlie pullets at all times and can be ; conveniently fed In an open hopper. ] Mllk is an excellent, form of animal protein and if plenty of It can be given to the pullets, the nieat scrap ■ may be eliminated from the mash if one-fonrtli part of bone meal is added. Ground oyster: shell should be fed separately to supply the calcium. ' It is false economy to neglect feed ing a ration of this Iype even though the feed has to be purchased. The cost of the feed will he more than made up for In th e results obtained Iii production during the -winter months. Electric Lights Useful in Production of Eggs Electric lights have.been success fully used for years in hen houses to prolong the hen’s working day and to Increase the egg yield. A further ap plication of electricity to the egg industry has recently been developed with extraordinary results, according to reports of the British Illuminating Engineering society. Two groups of 12 pullets each, of the same age and breeding, were seg regated for 16 weeks. During this time they were all fed on identical rations. The first flodc was kept un der ordinary conditions and produced 124 eggs during the test period. The second floek was treated for io min utes daily with ultra Tiolet rays and produced 49T eggs. At the eiwI of the 16 weeks' condi tions were reverued, whereupon the output o f the first group, which began to reesiv® the vfolet-vay treatment, Increased rapidly, and that of the second flodc, b» longer receiving It. decreased'. At the end of f.lte second 16-weeft period tiie egg production' of the tw o groups bad , been approxi mately reversed TIte sam e results were, observed In. sim ilar tests at; th£ Wisconsin experiment station. Experiments in WlswwsIn also indi cate that tlie ultra-violet rays may have a- profound effeet in sttmutettBg the growth of young chicks. Kansas Kats Given Good Taste of Real Warfare Rats living about the farm yard of a home near Eureka Lake, Kan., were recently given a taste of modem war fare by. a representative , of the bio logical Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, co-operat- ting with the extension service of the agricultural college, whose time Is given to : rat-control. wofrk and the demonstration of the best ^heans of eliminating this pest. Such delicacies as canned salmon, apples, and fresh eggs served,In the half shell, seasoned with barium carbonate, .were first ra tioned, out along the--known runways and haiints of the-rats'. Then came a gas attack for those that had survived. A ,small hand duster loaded with cal- ; eiurnTCyanide' dust was, used for g a i' sing all the burrdws and hkjlng places. Some; ,of the rats plunged. Into the dust barrage only to die at the. operator’s A. week late, the gas treatment I.was repeated, and the premises are Inow ^ported absolutely tree df rat* When Pullet Ia Laying Whether u pullet has started laying or not Is easily learnett by merely ex amining the dtstimce between the lay bones. If these are spread I so that three fingers may be placed between them, it may safely be assumed that she has commenced laying. Early lay ers produce the most eggs wliile the tardiest ones are the slackers even .after commencing. By goliig through the Ilock of pullets after most of them Imve begun raying,-the few that show no signs of productivity may be mar keted. • P o ii lt a y H in ts , Sunlight In the cheapest disinfectant that you can find.'
