But they paused yet a moment

her eyes that was the more heart

Mr.. Hand was not greatly troubled

face. Che was silent moment, and
in that moment learned what 1t was

Il have not been living with this
man, in any sense of the term, Mrs
Stoddard. I will say this once for all
TO you, though never would, In any
other conceivable situation, reply to
such an implication You have no
right to say or think such things"
Wickedness must be rebuked of the
Lord, intoned Mrs. Stoddard.
Are you his mouthpiece?" said Aga.
tina scornfully. But she was rebuked
for her scorn by Mrs. Stoddard's look.
Her eyes rested on Agatha's face with
pleading and patience as If she, were
a world mother. agonizing for the sal
walton of her children.
1T is his command to pluck the
brand from the burning" said Susan
Stoddard. "Ungodly example is sin,
and earthly love often a snare for
youthful feet"
AS Agatha listened to Mrs. Stod.
dard's strange plea. the instinct with

the interview, had recoiled from this
fanatical but intensely spiritual WON
an, found its way, as Ii were. into the
light. Such was the power of her sin.

sha's heart throbbed with new com
prehension which was almost love. She
stepped closer to Susan Stoddard. her
tail figure overlapping the others
sturdy one, and took one of her strong
work-hardened hands.
Mrs. Stoddard. this man has never
spoken word of love to me. But IL

not, refuse me now"
The subtle changes of the mind are
hard TO trace and are often obscure
even TO tho eye of science; but every
day those changes make or mar our
Joy. Susan Stoddard looked for long
minute UP into the vivid face bending
over hers, while her spirit, even as
Agatha's had done, pierced the hedge
which separated them, and compre-
hended something of the goodness in
the others soul. Finally she laid her
other hand over Agatha's, enclosing
1t in a strong clasp. Then, with a
certain pathetic pride in her submis-
sion. she said

view was beginning to count. She
sank down in the chair that Mrs. Stod.

their meeting, and covered her eyes
with one hand. The elder woman kept
the other.
We will not go to our task alone"
she said, I'VE will ask Gods help. The
prayer Of faith shall heal the sick"
Then falling to her knees by Agathas
side. with rapt, lifted face and closed
eyes, she made her confession and her
petition TO the Lord. Her ringing voice
tntoned the phrases OF the Bible as II
they had been music and bore the bur.
Den OF her deepest soul. She said she

J. $. R. 5. MAKE UP A
 GOOD MAP OF ROADS

The local reclamation service .'fiice has just finished a unique map of the valley on which is outlined system of roads that is based on expert knowledge of the lay of the land, and if it should be adopted by the citizens it would put an improved modern road close to every ranch, and no farmer would be off a main road more than a mile.
 This map seems to be the best sug- gestion yet and one of the engineers Nof the reclamation service informed The Examiner today that the cost of this system of roads would be no great CT than for the two roads through the valley as in the plan adopted by the board of supervisors. The reason for this is that care has been taken to avoid the rough places that would en- tail great cost to build up.
 The map can be seen in the front window of Max's store and every citi- zen should see it and give the road matter his careful thought in order to vote right when the matter of choosing the rOadways comes up for a decision next month.

CONDITIONS OF THE CROPS

According to the figures of the Crop Reporting Board of the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, issued Au-
 gust 8th, there is considerable in- cerase over 1912 in the acreage of winter wheat, rice and wheat in gen. -eral. Of this, winter wheat shows total acreage of 30,93S, 900 acres, or 16 4 per cent. more than was reported for 1912 Rice shows an increase of IA per cent. in acreage, and all wheat shows an increase of S.3 per white potatoes show substantially the same acreage as for 1912, with an in. crease of 1.1 per cent. recorder for oats Spring wheat, barley and tame hay show decreases ranging from 3.7 to 2.5 per cent. Flax shows falling off of 14.9 per cent. The condition of the apple crop is 52.2 per cent. whic his about 23 per cent. less than the ten-year average.
 The estimated yields show the fol lowing conditions: spring wheat. shows a decrease of 97,O0O,O0O bush els; the estimated yield of corn is about 453,0O0,000 bushels below the 1912 figures; oats, decrease of about 39O, 100000 bushels; barley, decrease of about 56,000000 bushels; potatoes, a decrease of about S2.O00,- 900 bushels; tobacco, a decrease of 67, 7,O0O,OOO pounds; flax, a decrease of 5000, 900 bushels; and hay, a decrease of 9,000,000 tons. There are also some slight decreases shown in the estimated production of rye and buck wheat.
 The increases are: in winter wheat, the preliminary estimate of which shows an increase of II 100000 bush els; all wheat, an increase of 14,OOO,- 900 bushels; and rice, an increase of 2,OO0,OOO bushels.
 The quality of winter wheat is 93.' per cent. as against 9O.7 per cent last year. It is, therefore, slightly higher than the siX-year average, which IS 91 pc rcent. The quality of rye is about the same as last year. The fall in the production of oats is some what offset by the amount of oats on farms August 1st, which is estimated at about 1O3,900,00O bushels or about 69,OOO,OOO more bushels than were on the farms on August 1st, 19i2.

ID DEFEAT BOND ISSUE
 WOULD BE A DISGRACE

A speedy and satisfactory solution of the road question will be a big step toward a Bigger and Better Yuma while unnecessary delay in the matter or no improvement of the Yuma roads will mean a serious set back to the growth and prosperity of this city Realizing these facts the Board of Supervisors after months spent in a study of the matter during which time they authorized an inves- tigation of the entire question by sev- eral competent consulting engineers, have approved a plan for improve ments made up in detail from the rec concentrations and suggestions Of these engineers, and have issued call for an election to decide on the is suance of bonds to pay for the pro posed improvements.
 The county officials have had no personal interest in this matter diff ferent from that held by every busi- ness man and taxpayer, but acting in their official capacity have endeavor- ed to provide a plan which would be the best solution possible for the en- tire county.
 If majority of the voters, after an earnest and careful study of the pro- posed roadways and what they are expected to accomplish, do not believe the plan is a good one and will es- tablish a system of roads suitable for Yuma during the many years to come, the bond issue should be voted down. But for the voters to disapprove the bond issue as the result of the state ments of persons who are notoriously unprogressive or persons who, from personal reasons and without consid ering the general good, wish to defeat it would be disgrace to Yuma.
 Any voter who votes against the bond issue as the result of statements made by persons who are known to Dc against any public improvement or be- cause of criticism by persons who dc not pretend to be at all familiar with the plan for roads, will be untrue to his trust as a citizen, should not retain the respect of any of his fellow citi- zens, and certainly can lay no claim to being progressive or in any way having the interest of Yuma at heart.
 The only way the voters of Yuma can be square with themselves at this time is for them to individually study the plans for roads and then vote at the bond election in accordance with their honest opinions. Many voters have studied the plans until they are thoroughly familiar with them, and all such have become strong boosters; in fact, we have yet to hear of single case of opposition to the plans on tht part of any one who has investigated it with an honest desire of learninf. the truth about it.
 The county engineer and other of ficials will be glad to explain the en tire matter to any voter, and to ah swer all questions in regard to any of its details. If they do not convince voter that the plan is good that voter should oppose the bond issue, but fol any one to vote mo" on the question without first trying to learn the real truth about the question without first trying to dearn the real truth abouf its merits will be wrong, and for many to do so might prove to be a calamity for Yuma.
