He turned and looked over the face
of the fields that he had made fertile
for 160 acres around; he looked up
on symmetrical orchards, shipshape
buildings, along the vista of rich
meadow land, rolling back to a dark,
narrow, shoestring-lilke river; across
the river to woodland of towering
trees. with the second growth clois-
tered at their sturdy trunks, and with
glow of content he pursued his way
downward.
By nature and instinct Warden
was a farmer. AS a boy he had re-

In state Of dilapidation and neg
lect David grew up all action and
system. At the age when the aver
age country lad is promoted from the
district school to the fields, David
avowed his intention of attending the
state agricultural college.
All foolishness,'' protested his
father. "There amt any sense in
this fancy farming business. .'Twan't
do you bit of good.'
1t won't do me any harm" ar
gued young David. 'I'm going"
And he went, his determination be-
ing sustained by the possession Of
$1,000 bequeathed to him by his
mother.
He took the college course and
came home eager to make nroductive
.ne iallow fields; but Warden, senior,
uecnned TO nave the farm cultivated
except little patch, that yielded
provisions for the family use.
Il am old, Dave, and have no
wants beyond enough to eat and to-
pacco to smoke. There's money
enough to pay taxes, and + am not
going to make more money for you

want to run far-l now, you must
get out and earn one for yourself"
SO David went to Texas with
schoolmate whose father owned a
ranchI Here the lad worked for three
years.
Then he was called home by the
illness of his father. The old man

arrival, and David found himself in
possession of farm finely located
and unmortgaged, but nonproducing.
The first year was one of obstacles
and disappointment. Southern Mich
igan may be exempt from cyclones,
drouths and floods, but there is the
heart-breaking time of suspense to
farmers, when, after winter has With
drawn to let pass spring. followed
by burst of premature summer,
there comes a blighting, destructive
frost-a veritahle second winter.
This period passed, there came the
impossibility of getting help who
would work to his needs. The farm
hands he had hired clung to their
old ways, and would not be directed.
One night David rounded them up
in true Texan style and dismissed
them. Then he hired men selected

n nington's boots would not
have created the slightest
stir, but at Silver beach the first
question asked the newcomer on the
piazza was "Have you seen Miss
Bonnington's boots?" and mega
tive reply was to admit truly re-
centless of arrival.
I There was nothing remarkable
about the boots save that they were
of nile green waterproof material
laced high upon the calf. At a rer,
sort where stockings, or at the best
the sort of canvas slipper to be had
at the drug store for a quarter, were
considered sufficient, the appearance
of Miss bennington on the sands at
the bathing hour was the signal for
the gathering of a. crowd of the Curl
Gus.
Natalie bennington professed an
Indifference to the curious gaze Of
the hotel patrons and the natives.
She could not help being aware of
the excitement she created. yet she
did not discard the boots.
Ridley told himself dozen times
that he did not love Miss Bonning-i
ton because of her boots. In honest
truth. he could not tel whether or
not he loved the girl.
Aside from these odd bathing
boots, her attire was more demure.

The decision of the supreme cour
in the matter of license to be paid by
foreign corporations will probably re
duce the income of the state about
$25,000,00. This will make the def
cit that much more.
In the statement, which was print
ed from Representative Aull, the de-
ficit appears at about $lS0, 100000
With this source Of income cut off
$25,000.00, it would make the deficit
something over $200,000.00.
If the corporations, which arc or
%anizcd outside Of the state but do
business in the state cannot be made
to pay the license, it is not right that
our corporations organized under the
laws Of the state should be made to
pay it.
In estimating the probable income
of the state, something like $780,
100000 was counted as coming from
this source.
