Lowton's three best beaus so fascinat-

Derry's voice was judicial, but the
twinkle In his eyes belied its measured
note. Linda Bryson chose to answer
tie eyes rather than the words.
"Unless you stop being tiresome 1

Say, do you know there's law

of deep injury.

Linda flung back at him. People say.

why should he be Jealous of-any-

Linda pouted. Derry breathed hard
just once, then caught both her hands
and pressed them warmly, saying: Il

voice.
why, that you love Phil well enough
to live with him all your life?" Derry
began.
Are you sure you love Julia Moore

Derry stared at her. Julia Moore!
What has she got to do with it?" he
asked.
Linda flung up her head.

Start the Pics Rioht.

Start the pigs right and push them
every day from the time they are far
rowed on well balanced ration, and
they will make a rapid and uniform
growth. Most of the sows we buy are
one year old and bred, says writer in
the Journal of Agriculture. We think
quite an item is saved in this way of
buying. The sows we retain in the
herd are about the same age, size and
of uniform type. Uniformity in herd
is the greatest point to be considered,
and its advantages are obvious. A uni
form lot Of pigs look better, sell better
and feed better and are better in every
way than an uneven bunch. The man
who gives proper care and attention
to his brood sows and starts his young
pigs right has solved three-fourths of
the problem of producing pork and
growing pure bred swine. If it pays
the breeder of pure bred hogs to pay
close attention to all the details of the
business, it should prove equally profit
able to the man who is growing them
for market.

MONMOUTH SITUATION,
Old Friends Rally to Its Support.
Has Many Graduates.

The Gazette has been asked by the
space to the following in regard to the
situation at that school:
"The loyal friends of the Oregon State
Normal school at Monmouth have come
to the rescue of the institution and have
met the conditions imposed by the new
board of regents. Messrs. Ressler and
Perkins appeared before the executive
committee in Salem last week and ten
dered check for three thousand dollars
as donation to, conduct the school dur
ing the ensuing year. This is one half
OF the required amount and the board has
allowed until the first of February for the
deposit of the balance. Other revenues
from tuition and local taxation Gnclud-
ing mills special tax will add between
eight and nine thousand dollars. The
budget for the year has been reduced
from nineteen to fourteen thousand dol
lars by cutting down the salaries of the
instructors, with their full consent, an
act of devotion which shows their loyalty
and devotion to the old school.
1T will be remembered that the old
board of regents, at its annual meeting
In June, reelected the faculty, let con-
tracts for fuel etc and otherwise provided
for the continuance of the Monmouth
Normal. The new board, at it's meeting
July is, accepted the action of the old
board and assumed full control. At
later meeting, August 20, it resciuded ito
former action on the ground that the law
prohibited the assumption of any obliga-
ton, vetoed by the governor, could not
become available until passed upon by
the next legislature, the board decided
that no account couldibe taken of it.
This caused the board to vote not to
continue the school until sufficient sum
was deposited as an absolute donation
which, together with the other fixed
revenues. would place enough funds at
its disposal to guarantee the expenses OF
the institution for the entire year. Now
that this has been done and the donation
accepted by the executive committee,
Monmouth is officially authorizedto con-
tinue and will therefore open its doors
on September "a for it's twenty sixth
year. The business-like methods of the
new board. the personnel OF its member
ship and the increased demand in the
state for Normal trained teachers, all
combine to make the prospects bright
for the best year in its history. Its
friends are rallying about it as never
before.
Monmouth has sent out over $50 grad
yates during the past twenty-five years
and thousands of others have received

HE HELD HER FACING HIM AND LOOKED
HER FULL IN THE EYES.
Hush-' as she saw Derry about to
whistle. Il know. She told me so
herself"
"WhenT' Derry asked, his voice low
and steady. Linda tried to look re-
fective. but her bushes betrayed her.
"It wus-some time last week." she
stammered at last. I'VE We're coming
home together
From the courthouse. l saw you
there listening to the speeches" Derry
interrupted. Then, with a quizzical
smile: with such authority 1 must Of
course agree. All the same, Linda, I
thought you understood-that you-you
were playing with the others so as to
wait for me- 1 couldn't speak out un-
til l had got from under the load of
my fathers debts"
Julia can free you. That was why"
Linda began, then stopped short, her
eyes on the fire. After minute she
went on clearly: II had to think you
were tired of an uphill fight. Besides,
you were free as air. There had never
been word between u.s."
"No-worse luck" Derry said, rising
and walking twice across the room. It
was big and dim, full Of faded furni-
ture, the tiny, scantily filed CRATE set
in the big chimney breast speaking
eloQuently Of the change from time
Of hospitable plenty. Aunt Pam had
the house; Linda, a narrow income.
Therefore they lived without work, as
became gentlewomen born, though Lin
da was more than little restive.
What If I am a born Bryson? 1t
won't hurt me to trim hats or make
cotillon favors for play? Goodness
knows 1 do enough Of it forthwith
rt1ons and Thank you, dear And do
believe the very people that impose on
me would think more of me II I
charged them round prices" she had
said more than once. But always Aunt
Pam and Aunt Pants ideas had pre-
vailed. The one way out was maria ge
with some good steady fellow Of de-
cent patrimony and the knack of get
ting on in the world.
Phil Gray had both, hence stood high

With Aunt Pam. She liked Allen Derry
well enough. His mother had been hel
dearest friend But there were the
debts-the only thing Judge Derry had
left his son. \ spotless reputation, OF
course. diu not count against lack OF
financial foresight. The judge Lad Deet'
beguiled not only into risking lis own
money, but into giving his neighbors
bad advice. 1t was the RelShhors
Allen was paying, although they had
not the least shadow of legal claim.
Phil Gray had said it WAS magnificent,
but not business Aunt Pam agreed
with him heartily. Still, she had been
always motherly kind to Allen, having
no suspicion of what was in his heart
and Linda's.
Allen stopped his pacing abruptly
and said. looking over Linda's head:
Phil is a good chance. also Il good fel-
low. 1 hope he'll make you happy as
the day is long. l know he'll try. But
tell me, have you put on his rirg?"
Not yet Linda said very low.
Derry caught her hands and drew her
to her feet. He held her facing him
and looked full in her eyes as he said
brokenly: '.Then-give me-one little
inch of-love. 1 know you love me
even as 1 love you. We wrong nobody
Il shall no more than kiss you-once.
All want is to have you look up at
me from my breast and say, Allen, l
love you-with the love that casteth out
all fear"
"Allen, l love you with the love that
casteth out all fear" Linda repeated
submissively, laying her head against
his shoulder. His arms infolded her.
For a long minute they stood silent,
trembling through and through with
sense Of sacred farewells. Then Al
len bent and kissed her, saying gently
as he put her away from him, "Remem-
Der, no matter what happens here, you
are mine through all eternity"
"Goodby," Linda said, her voice clear
and unshaken. "Goodby," Allen echoed
and turned toward the door. 1t stood
open, inframing Phil Gray, whose face
was very white, but whose eyes were
steady and kindly. He came to the
two at the hearth with outstretched
hands, saying: Il did not mean to spy
on you; but, thank God, I heard. The
mistake that has been made is not past
undoing. Linda, 1 set you free. Now
choose between U.S."
With happy cry, Linda put her hand
in Derry's and hid her bushes upon
his breast. Gray drew hard breath,
but smiled gallantly and asked: "Are
you surprised to see me here? 1 am
surprised to be here. But there's rea-
son for it. Allen, old man, read that.
1t came to us an hour back. You know
our firm settled up your fathers af-
fairs"
Allen took the yellow slip, but the
words on it danced before him. 1t was
Phfl's last good Office to read to him
that the mine, so long held worthless,
had turned out to be marvelously rich.
All the money that had been sunk in
it would come back hundredfold.
You'll be rich, you two-so rich you
can buy all Lawton," he said at last,
smiling. Linda held out her hand to
him. So did Derry as together they
said, "And be sure we will marry and
live happy ever after"

1.-THE makers Of our national
constitution provided especially that
the regulation Of Interstate commerce
should come within the sphere Of the
general government The arguments
In favor Of their taking this stand were
even then Overwhelming. But they are
far stronger today, in view of the enor-
nous development Of great business
agencies. usually corporate in form.
Experience has shown conclusively
that 1t Is useless to try to get any ade-
;quate regulation and supervision Of
these great corporations by state &C.
ton. Such regulation and supervision
can only be effectively exercised by
sovereign whose jurisdiction Is cock
tensive with the field of work Of the
corporations-that Is, by the national
government. I believe that this regu-
lation and supervision can be obtained
by the enactment Of law by the con.
gress. Our steady aim should
be by legislation. cautiously and care
fully undertaken, but resolutely per-
severed in, to assert the sovereignty. of
the national government by affirmative
action.
'This is only in form an innovation.
In substance It is merely a restora-
ton, for from the earliest time such
regulation Of Industrial activities has
been recognized in the action of the
lawmaking bodies, and all that pro-
pose Is to meet the changed conditions
In such manner as will prevent the
commonwealth abdicating the power
It has always possessed, not only in
this country, but also in England, be-
fore and since this country became
separate nation.
ut has been misfortune that the
national laws on this subject have
hitherto been Of a negative or prohib-
tive rather than an affirmative kind
and still more that they have in part
sought to prohibit what could not be
effectively prohibited and have in part
In their prohibitions COMPOUNDED what
should be allowed and what should
not be allowed. It is generally useless
to Try to prohibit all restraint on COM
petition, whether this restraint be rea-
Ieonable OF unreasonable, and where 1t
Is not useless it is generally hurtful.
lS "s The successful prosecution Of
one device to evade the law immedi-
ately develops another device to accom-
plish the same purpose. What Is need
ed is not sweeping prohibition of every
arrangement, good or bad, which may
tend to restrict competition, but such
adequate supervision and regulation as
will prevent any restriction of COM
petition from being to. the detriment of
the public, as well as such supervision
and regulation as viii prevent other
abuses in, no way connected with re.
striction Of competition" = : II
/ have called your attention in these
quotations to what have already said
because I am satisfied that it Is the
duty Of the national government to en-
body In action the principles thus ex.
pressed. ~ : IT. %.~' -. y
