Read and there will unfold for
you romance from which you
will learn how two plucky daugh-
ters of the farm, yearned for a COL
iese education; how their father
gave them the use of a wornout
orchard to secure the money nec-
essary; how they grappled with
the apple raising problem and
Snyder, the sharper, who was cor
nering the apple crop; how their
ambition had much to do with
the futures of two young men,
one rich and one poor; how the
wornout orchard Influenced d.
rectly or indirectly not only the
lives of four young people, but
college work, college sport and
college morals as we'll, and how
some of those concerned in this
idyl of farm and college we're at
last persuaded to exchange ap-
pie blossoms for orange blossoms.

A Very Profitable Acre.

A Spokane woman has kept an sccu
rate record for one year of her one-acre
poultry ranch. She began with ITO
white Leghorn hens. During the year
she sold 22,079 eggs at an average of 81
cents dozen, total Of $662.37; Matched
and raised 1900 chickens from which she
sold $40 broilers at fifty cents each, max
ing 1920. At the end Of the year she
bad $40 pullets and twenty cockerels,
for which she could get on the loca
market for breeding purposes, $3.50
Her total was therefore $1,58237. Hel
expenses were s502.7l. The profits o

In these days of high prices, when all
the world is protesting the increased
cost of living, women are beginning to
realize that housekeeping is a profes-

ability.
We have always had certain women

Some women naturally have a kee.

others; but all women can be good
managers If they will make up their
minds to master the situation.
So while the legislators and the writ
ers are investigating to determine
whether extravagant woman, the busy

prices skyward, let every woman get
down to a business proposition ia her
own home. 1t Is not question of
whether you like housework or not. 1t

HOT BREAD

New York World.
Secretary Wilson says it is not the hot
bread that hurts. We are left to infer
that it is the careless way we eat It. Taken
from a fresh loaf and compressed into
more or less solid masses before swallow
ing, it may bring trouble. But in the form
Of light biscuits or rolls, such that every
crumb may be properly masticated, the
objection loses force.
This is the first kind word for hot bread
which has been issued in many a day.
Coming with the authority of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. It may be regarded
as the beginning Of an official effort to
overthrow a dietary notion of standing
long and wide. To break down thus super
stition and the counsel Of more than one
wise family doctor may assume before a
most paternal Secretary the proportions Of
rather gigantic contract. Yet there are
encouraging counts to be summoned for
the argument.
For instance, we remember the bread
that mother used TO make. II came from
the oven in generous loaves. 1t was smok-
ing hot. But we did not wait for Il to cool.
Much less did we pause for that staleness
Of the second day after baking which is
nrecious TO the health fsddists. We lost
no time in biting, after generous butter
ing, into the slices OF moist soui-ana-
body-satsfying sweetness And nopody
can tell us now that this dear indulgence
added ever to the sum Of our childhooGs
ills.
We suspect that the proof Of the bread
,s in suck healthful eating as Of those
days. what we have done to our systems
in any old way since bolhood should not
count against the hot loaf.

Washington, Apr 27.-After refus-
ing in committee of the whole, by a
tie vote, to strike out the court of
commerce feature from the admins
tration railroad bill, preparations were
made to force this action when the
house arose from committee. 1t was
declared that enough votes would be
mustered to eliminate it.
The committee action was on the
motion of Representative Hubbard that
the clause be stricken out. Repre-
sentative Bennett was in the chair
when he put the motion. the result
was 140 to 139 in favor of the propo-
sition. Bennett then cast his vote
gainst it. making the vote tie and
losing the motion.
The combination of insurgents and
Democrats in the house have been
sweeping everything before them and
are confident that this move, directed
against the administration, would be
