Betty Belle, coming liz that morning
from English two found on the
table in her room in the dormitory
cocoanut cake a plate of chicken sand
witches and a card. The card read
"Compliments of Prudence Conway"
Prudence was the colored maid on
the third floor of dormitory 10 of the
summer school. To be chosen as pet
by Prudence meant many privileges
To the girl she liked she brought
unlimited towels, while some less
favored maiden might anguish with
two a week, and now in providing
Betty Belle with materials for a mid
night spread Prudence showed evil
dence Of high regard.
Betty Belle was from the SOUTH
hence her name There had been two
aunts beloved by her mother. and the
little girl had been called after them
always. Betty Belle wondered why
the northern girls thought it funny.

that way, as a rule Drusilla Davis
told her. "And l don't believe we
DldCC SUCH value Ou udlucS. but YOU
are a dear. Betty Belle. only you are
different"
"How different?' Betty Belle ques-
toned. and Drusilla laughed:
"Oh, you are so old fashioned and
pretty and serious"
Betty Belle blushed. "You are pretty,
too, Drusilla.' a
Drusilla shook her head. mot in the
fascinating way that you are, Betty
Belle"
The scholars of the summer school
ate at an adjoining boarding house,
and at the lunch table that day Betty
Belle told about the chicken sand
wiches and the cocoanut cake.
There were four men at the table
besides the girls. AS Betty Belle de-
scribed the deliciousness the men
gr0aned enviously.
''And we don't come in for any Of
that?' asked Dick Chase, who had
funked in his studies the winter be-
fore and was making up during the

a million, and it was hard for Dick to
understand why he needed to grind
over books.
mo Betty Belle told him; mo men
are allowed above the first floor Of our
dormitory."
"Well. we will serenade you while
you are eating it, Dick said.
"Please. don't" Betty begged.
"Why not?' Dick asked in surprise.
His attentions had always been sought
rather than refused, and he had meant
that Betty Belle should appreciate the
high honor he was comforting.
Its against the rules" Betty Belle
said.
81 shouldn't think you would mind
q little thing like that"
81 DON'T" said Betty Belle, ''but you
can't afford to lose any standing"
He flushed "You needn't hit a fell
low when he's down. / don't care
whether 1 get through next year or
not
"WeI, l do" said little Betty Belle.
'You told me about your mother. and
I don't think you ought to disappOint
her.
Dicks eyes dropped before the clear
ones of the little southern girl.
81 shouldn't like to disappoint her, y
he murmured
But that night us six girls in all the
comfort of dainty kimonos and dress

"There," said Drusilla Davis; that is
in your honor Betty Belle"
Betty, pink and white and charming
in her rosy kimono, tapped a small
foot impatiently.
"Well, | wish he wouldn't" she said
Margaret Mills looked at her with
raised eyebrows. why, Betty Belle
Fairfax" she exclaimed, "he is worth
a million! Any girl would be glad tc
have him pay her attention"
81 don't care if he is worth ten mil
lions," Betty Belle returned quickly;
she isn't a gentleman"
The girls looked at her, startled
"Why, Betty Belle" one gasped. what
makes you say such a thing?"

her head held high. THE gentlemen
at my home have consideration for the
wishes of ladies, and told him not to
sing. And he has an invalid mother
who is just praying for his success. and
he is wasting his time. 1t isn't right;
it isn't right" And Betty Belle clap
ped both hands over her ears to shut
out the strains of Dixie"
Some one will tell Dick Chase what
you said about him. Drusilla told the
small maiden after the other girls had
gone to their rooms.
81 don't care said Betty Belle hot
ly. but when Drusilla went away she
got down at the window and looked
out for long time upon the moon
lighted campus.
Then she rose and took the one piece
of cocoanut cake that was left and
wrapped it up il a dainty parcel and
tied it with ribbon, and in the morning
she sent it by Prudence to Dick Chase.

At noon on the campus Dick Chase
came up to Betty Belle.

Betty Belle sat down on a seat under

how mothers feel about their boys

There was a little tremble in her
voice, and Dick looked up quickly. "Do
you carer he asked eagerly.
"Yes," Betty Belle told him without
| coquetry. II think we could be good

| Dick flung himself down on the
bench beside her. ST would have to
be more than friends, Betty Belle" he
said. ''I-have grown to think lot of
you; you are sO-different."
That's what Drusilla says" Betty
Belle remarker, "and / don't just see
what you all mean"
"Well, you are so good and true, lit

That night in dormitory 10 Betty
Belle made a confession.
II am sorry that said such things
about Dick Chase" They were sitting
In the dark. and the other girls could
not see her bushes. II was in a bit
of a temper. you know"

garet Mills.
Maybe" said Betty Belle.
Across the campus they could see the
lights in the mems dormitory. In one
room a crowd Of boys had gathered
around piano, and their voices fioated
out in rollicking college song. In
another room a lamp with green
shade made a halo around mans
bent head.
"Why, l believe Dick Chase is study
ing" said Drusilla Davis. What is
going to happen?'
"He is going to turn over a new
leaf,'' said Betty Belle demurely.
Something in her voice made the
girls ask in chorus, How do you
known
Because am engaged to him." said
Betty Belle.

a COMING REQUISITE.

should not only be pledged to an eco
nomic policy which will insure q con-
tinuance of the full dinner pail, the
maintenance Of the country's suprem-
acy Gun the high seas and the securing
of political plums for this and that in
fuerlfial constituent, butt should be
committed In most positive and def
mite manner to support OF the gov
ernment's policy of forest preservation
and perpetuation- Influential business
interests are arrayed against the pro-
gramme referred to and can be count
ed on to bring every Influence in their
power to bear to make the unsuspect-
ing legislator believe Ihat lumber
companies rather than the government
are the real friends and protectors OF
the common people-the .Iaboring man,
the widow and the orphan. The for
estry problem is one ef the liveliesf

WHAT IT is WORTH.

A man who has had charge OF the seed
corn tests at one Of the county eXpeT-
mental farms In central Iowa, in re-
plying to tie query Of nearby farmer
as to whether he could afford to pay
$3.50 bushel for good seed corn, fig
ured out in very simple manner that
such corn was not only worth the price
named, but might be worth as high as
sos bushel. He states that the diff
ference between the ten highest and
ten lowest yields in the experiment
which he conducted last year was
261a bushels per acre. At Al cents
per bushel this amounts to $11.92 per
acre, and since one bushel of seed will
plant eight acres the value of the good
seed which produced the larger yield
over poor seed, which was responsible
for the smaller, was $95.46, or repre-
scented the loss sustained by the fellow
who was content to plant the poor
seed. Every farmer who is prone to
underestimate the value of good seed
corn should read these figures over IN
til he knows them by heart There's
money in them.

WlNTERaNG ,EANNAs.

A friend who has had considerable
experience In carrying Gamma bulbs
through the winter tells us that Inc
owercomes the difficulty of keeping
them through the long dormant period
by packing them I'm moist sand in u
cool cellar, where he 1eaves' them until
March 1, when he puts each bulb or
the portion Of a bulb intended for IL
single root In pot bydtself and brings
them upstairs, keeping them in roofR
where the temperature is relatively
low. This enables them to sprout
slowly. By the time the weather lis
warm enough Tor tr1nsplanting into
the open ground the plants have made
nice start and can be transferred
into the permanent bed without seri.
ons1y disturbing the roots. The Gamma
bulb docs not seem to possess a large
Vitality and If kept in the cellar
through the entire winter and early
spring often dies when Mhere seems to
be no good reason for 1t. The plan
suggested offers a way out.

FOREST PRESERVATION.

California easily leads all other
states of the Union in the matter of
forest preservation, and the reason is
perhaps not far to seek. The utility
of the streams of the state does not
consist so largely in the water power
which they furnish as In the moisture
which they provide for the agricultural
and horticultural interests of the state
through numerous and we'll planned
systems of irrigation. The people of
the state are not slow to realize that
a neglect of the forest interests which
would result in q diminution of the
water flow or cause irregularity of sup
ply would be Immediately disastrous
to the extensive and important inter
ests mentioned. For this reason all
people of the state are interested in
forestry problems. AT the state for
estry and irrigation convention which
was recently held delegates were pres
ent from every county in the state,
showing themselves keenly alert to
every phase of the questions involved.
Resolutions were passed approving the
states forest policy, while measures
were recommended for the enforce
ment of better logging regulations and
plan Endorsed for aiding private land
owners who wish to plant trees. In
terest in the forestry problem in other
states would be enhanced If they, too,
were dependent upon rivers for the
supply of moisture for their growing
crops. From the forestry standpoint
at least an abundant rainfall turns out
to he Il so1t Of curse.
