cheeks and nose. over her shoulder
in state OF great excitement leaned
the truant. Hastings hardly knew him.
His cheeks were flushed and his eyes
We're dancing as he cried, "Now, that
is the way the little monkey swung
off by his tailv' His cheek was pressed
close Co the girls, ard his arm rested
lovingly on her shoulder. Evidently
she had won his heart too.
Hastings felt a swift pang of jeal-
Cusy and started forward.
Then they heard him, and Jack
sprang up, with cry Of delight.
The girl was too loaded down to
rise, and so she sat there. Perhaps it
was the sudden food Of color to her
cheeks; perhaps it was the upward
glance of her eyes. At any rate, sud-
den light came to Hastings. For a
moment he stood there blinded, dazed.
Then his customary GOODNESS came TO
his aid. 1t was his turn to carry
things with high hand, and he must
make the most Of 1t.
His eyes challenged hers as he said:
"How long have you been a receiver
Of stolen goods, Miss Trevor? l am
glad to see that you have the grace to
blush for your sins, even under your
paint"
Jack was quite shocked "She did
not steal me-" he protested. 81 was
lonely, and 1 was waiting for you in
the hall, and she asked me to come in,
and came, and we've had beautiful
time" he added in joyous outburst.
THAT'S just as bad" Hastings an
swered severely. "You mean TO say
that she enticed you in here"
Jack was speechless. The girl had
said nothing
"You might at least invite me to sit
down since you are so comfortable,
Hastings went on, "and let me join in
the beautiful time, though I don't
know, on second thought, that it isn't
pleasanter standing. 1t is so unusual
to see you at my feet"
Miss Trevor started to scramble up,
but two strong hands lifted her gently
into big chair. 1t was a new expert
ence to her to be either commanded or
helped. But she did not seem to mind
it nor to notice that he was still hold
ing her hands. Both had forgotten
Jack as Hastings bent over her and
asked, care you glad that have
Gomez"
Jack is delighted with it ALL but he

Professor Henry Drummond when q
boy discovered that he could hypnotic
people. At IA birthday party little
girl declined to play the piano. Drum
mond happened to catch her eye and
said, PLAY" To his surprise she rose
at once, went to the piano and played.
At another time he hypnotized boy
and gave him a poker for gun.
Now" said Drummond, "I'm a pleas
ant. Shoot me-" The boy did so, and
Drummond fell to keep up the illusion,

THE TREND OF WHEAT.
It's Movement Westward Has Been
Steadily Increasing.


It's Movement Westward Has Been
Steadily Increasing.
With favorable weather conditions
the new wheat area Of eastern Mon
tana. western North Dakota, western
central South Dakota. western central
Nebraska, western Kansas and eastern
Colorado, all in the semiarid region,
can produce from 100000 to 10000
600 bushels more wheat than ever
before. That is, the country may
absolutely gain that much, for this
increased area is not in wheat at the
expense OF some other locality.
Last season the crop was light in
the semiarid region because Of drought.
But in the winter wheat part of it
there is, so far as is known, a
promising amount Of moisture, while
in the northwest, in the dry coun-
try" the ground is in perfect condi-
ton. which will insure a large acre
age in spring wheat.
But few years ago the western and
northwestern counties Of Kansas were
beyond the wheat country. The west
ward trend of wheat has been so steady,
however, that now, with sufficient mois-
ture, several Of the group of northwest
ern counties will raise million to a
million and half bushels each. Chey-
enne county, in the extreme northwest
ern corner of Kansas, has sufficient
area in wheat to produce over half a
million bushels. In western central
Nebraska and South Dakota the west
ward trend of wheat has brought about
the same remarkable change. Given ia
vorable conditions this season, these two
states will take more important posi-
ton among the wheat producers than
ever before and by reason of new acre
age in the semiarid region.
Last season North Dakota had a
remarkable increase in wheat acre
age in the west and northwest, and
but for the drought, which west Of the
500 line cut down the yield over a
large area one-half - but for this
North Dakota would have raised the
heaviest crop any state has ever pro-

the traveller over the Northern Pacific

conception Of the area under cultiva-
ton. At some small stations-New
Salem or Glen Ullin, on the Northern
Pacific. for instance-the traveller will
see two or three fields and waste

ture. Yet there may be marketed at
each Of these stations and others like

the whole great country west Of the
Missouri and north of the Northern
Pacific has been and is being brought
under cultivation. In eastern Montana

that irrigation and dry farming meth
DDS are making the crops more sure.
And this is the country hardly yet

How the Long Island Potato Exchange
Gets Rid of Its Tubers.
Although the Long Island potato ex-
change is not a grange organization,
it is doing some things that the grange
might profit by. 1t has a paid up
capital Of only about $4,000, half of
which IS available for use. The asso-
citation did business Of over $4,000
last year. Commenting on the work
Of this exchange, the New York Fruit
mans Guide has this to say:
In the face of adverse conditions the
exchange handled practically a half
million bushels Of potatoes for the
year Dbl barrels Of onions and 3,715
bushels Of carrots, or total Of 634
carloads Of produce. I'VE expect to
handle three times as many potatoes
this year." said the manager. All deal
ers together In this county sent to
market little less than 100000 bush
els Of potatoes last year from about
1900 acres.
The association sold over 1900 tons
of fertilizer, besides 22,764 bushels of
seed potatoes and quantity Of other
farmers goods, making profit Of over
$1,000 on such things combined.
The exchange started out with every
body against it. 1t had no standing.
1t lacked the confidence Of all people
everywhere. both farmers and sellers,
including the local leaders at stations.
1t has overcome the eRmity of all
classes to such an extent that dealers
are clamoring for admission into its
fold.

FEATHERS AND EGGsHELLS.

The practice many fanciers have Of
stating the value of hen at $4,000
and rooster at $1,000 is getting very
common. Wonder If these amusement
makers wouldn't drop if they could get
takers.
According to catalogues, the 300 egg
hen is almost here. These advertising
lists declaring the laying average Of
pens make very little impression on
the thoughtful buyer. Wouldn't some
men he awfully in debt If hot air had
Il value?
We have found planer shavings ex-
cellent bedding for brood coops and
breeders, but feed should not be
thrown into It, as the chick will swal-
low the shavings and get indigestion.
When hen digs deep down into
her feathers it's a sure sign of lice.
In pluming they generally dress the
surface.
Dust the roosters often, for, as men
have more faults than fair females, so
Growers have more crawlers than
cacklers.

And Sunday she'd lay three.

Junior Brotherhood Banquet.

In the Presbyterian Sunday school
Mr.. j. +. Beavis has class of thirty
young men ranging in age from IL to 20
years. Mr.. Beavis is particularly proud
of his class, for one reason, because he
considers them the incest boys ever,
another, because there are such a bunch
of them and for these reasons and for
the purpose of effecting an organiza-
ton of the class that would unite them
fraternally he planned to give them a
banquet and social evening. Prepar-
ations were made, with the ladies of
the church aiding, and Friday evening
last tables were set in the classroom of
the church and supper served at $50.
The tables were very handsome with
the flower decorations, and the supper
was all a boy could wish. Six young
ladies waited on the gentlemen. AT

Beer and Bread
Cure for Burns
Good Hearted Iowa Woman Interests
Herself in Plight of Fred
Bausnick.

Beer and bread as a remedy for burns,
instead of skin grating, is a suggestion,
and alleged assured cure, advocated by Mrs.
Elenora Mitchell of Neville, Ia, in a let
ter to Chief OF Police Donahue. The pre-
scription is sent for the benefit Of Police
Chauffeur Fred Bausnick, who was badly
burned when the police auto patrol blew
up several weeks ago. About a week ago
the physicians attending Bausnick issued a
call for volunteers to give portions of their
cuticle to be grated on the burned chauf-
feur.
Now comes Mrs. Mitchell to the rescue
with a simpler and. according to her story,
more effective method, She recommends
the making of a plaster Of bread soaked
in beer and applied upon the surface of
the burn.
By way Of recommendation Mrs. Mitchell
cites the case of her brother, who was
badly burned about the hand, and for
whom physicians could do nothing. Fol-
lowing two or three applications Of the
beer and bread plaster he was entirely
cured, and Mrs. Mitchell believes It would
prove an Gnfailing remedy for Fred Baus-
nick.

Five Land Fraud
indictments at

Members of Defunct Beet Sugar Com

to DefTaud Government.

BOISE, Idaho. Dec. 2L-Five indictments
on charges of conspiracy to defraud the
government were returned here today by
the federal grand jury which has been in
Vestlgatlng the afafirs of the Great West
ern Beet Sugar company, a defunct cor
poration. The following are named in the
Indictment: John H.. Garrett, organizer OF
the company; w c, How're, United States
commissioners at Mountain Home, Idaho,
Fred Daniels, X. ], ColthoTp and c. J.
Griffith. The last three had been con
nected with the sales department Of the
corporation.
With the exception of Garrett, who is
said to be engaged in the real estate busi-
ness in Chicago, all of those indicted live
in Mountain Home.
The reclamation Of a large tract of land
in the vicinity Of Mountain Home. a work
which was undertaken by the Great West
ern Beet Sugar company, was never
brought to f~rultion, and, II Is alleged,
water was never given to lands taken up
by settlers. Hundreds Of settlers from
North Dakota entered on the LANDS. Their
water rights, they claimed, had been sold
many times over. A movement is now on
foot to reclaim the tract under the Carey
act.
