given by Attorney General McReynolds
to any move on the part of the New

learned. 1t is asserted that the Attor-
hey General would be willing to delay
for a reasonable time the filing OF the
governments proposed dissolution suit
to hear the roads proposals

made TO settle the case out OF court be-
came very apparent In the attention

The present intention OF the Attor-
ney General is to seek a dissolution OF

sitle. II is possible criminal prosecu-
tions may be avoided. although officials
are reluctant to discuss that phase OF

addresses on women In industry, women

women of the American countryside. Co
operation will also occupy the attention
Of the women, and the Countess of Aber-

result or its opening.
The field Of opportunity in the south is
a rich one, and the service of the South
ern Commercial Congress in advertising
to the world just how these opportunities
may be found and developed has been In
no mean degree responsible for the re-
markable expansion of industry in the
south between 1900 and 1910. The world
has been SO accustomed to thinking Of the
south as region of rundown plantations
and worn-out soil that it may come as
great surprise to be told that the south
shows a higher gross acreage value for
its crops than the remainder Of the
United States. According to the crop re-
ports of a. recent year the value of the
crops Of the south per acre amounted to
$17.23, while the per acre value for the
other sections of the United States
amounted to $1407-a difference of % per
cent In favor of the southern farmer.
These figures were confirmed by the CEN
sus inquiry as to crops made in 1900.
That inquiry showed that the returns
from farming, based on the value of farm
values was q per cent in the south and
is per cent in the other sections of the
country.

And this treasure was his. He leaned

had It sprung from his mind than 1t
entered the window OF a room across
the corridor. Whether the window was
open or shut was OF no importance
whatever. Such wishes penetrated and
went through all obstacles. And this
one touched Fortunes eyes. her hair,
her lips; It caressed her In thousand
happy ways. But. alas! such wishes
are without temporal power.
Fortune never knew. She sat In a
chair. her fingers locked tensely. her
eyes large and set In gaze. her lips
compressed. her whole attitude one Of
impotent despair.
George did not zee her at lunch, and
