"Uncalled for, eh?" snarled Ward.

They made their way to the barn.
With a grave face Mr.. Barry unlocked
the door. The sound of a rustling
in the wainscotted harness room
made Ward hasten forward He had
never in his heart expected to find
his missing chickens here, his sole
thought being to cast the infamy of
a search warrant upon his enemy.
Upon a cot supplied with clean,
comfortable bedding lay a thin, wan

Ward soon after that found out
about Elmer and Cecille. Then she
was kept practically prisoner in the
house, never going out except with
her father or mother, and the threat
made that if Elmer attempted to meet
her she would be sent away to a
relative three thousand miles across
the continent.
Right on the heels of this came
secret-a secret known only for the
time to Mr.. and Mrs. Barry. At the,
rear of their yard was small, unused
barn. 1t adjoined the chicken yard
For several mornings Mr.. Barry had
got up early He made hasty and
covert visits to the barn, carrying
basket and padlocking the door
strongly. \.
Ward had been unusually pestifer-
GUS. of late. His milk of human
kindness seemed to have become
completely Nsoured. He wrangled
daily with the Barry children. He
complained of the hose water streak
ing the sidewalk. He would have
come to blows with Elmer more than
once, but for the great patience and
forbearance of the latter.
Two evenings he sat on his, front
porch bawling out an indirect &C
cusation against his neighbor con-
corning half dozen fancy chickens
that were missing. From his-own
porch Mr.. Barry heard him say:
1--WE stood it long enough. If
those chickens aren't back in, my
coop by tomorrow, I'll disgrace Bar
ry, vow I will! I'll spring surprise
on him that will give him startler"
Mr.. Barry had just left the dinner
table the next day when a ring came
at the door bell. AS he answered it
he was somewhat astonished to find

Four Crop Contests
For Boys In Georgia

Athens, Oct. %. The farm
demonstration work of the State
College of Agriculture and the de-
partment of agriculture of the
United States, has already inaugu-
rated a four-crop contest for the
boys of Georgia, following the
line of work which has been con-
Quoted for the boys corn club.
The idea is to inaugurate prac-
tical system of crop rotation for a
three-year period, the program for
which will be oats, followed by
cow peas, followed by corn and
finally cotton. Three acres are re-
quired. 1t is found necessary to
limit the demonstration work of
this kind at first, to five boys and
five farmers for each county. The
only difference between the pro-
gram for the farmers and the boys
is that the farmers will be requlr-
ed to put in winter cover crop,
preferably clover.
In the four-crop contest the age
limit will be from 10 to 81 years.
The corn club age is from 10 to
IS. The corn club boys have been
ready and willing to enter into the
four-crop contest and alarge num-
Der have already sown their oats.
As an encouragement to this
start in a diversified farming and
crop rotation contest, the Central
of Georgia railroad has offered
premiums for counties situated
along its line.
The four-crop contest and the
pig club organization constitute
the new feature of work which
the farm demonstration agents are
to push during the new year.

Foreign Nations Must
Play Fair With U. S.

Washington, D. c. Oct. %
Wheat and wheat -four will not be
admitted free to the Uuited States
from those countries which de-
cline to admit free of duty similar
products from the United States
This ruling has been made by AS
sistant Secretary Hamlin, of the
treasury department who CONSTITUTES
the new tariff law as presenting
this decision.
Customs collectors have been
advised of the Interpretation and
each collector was advised that the
countries now admitting American
wheat and wheat -four without
duty were Great Britain, Finland
and the Netherlands.
In the decision Mr.. Hamlin an
nounces that if any foreign coun.
try puts a tax upon any one of the
three articles of wheat, wheat -four
and semoline, the government
would assess not only upon that
one of the three, but upon all three
articles coming from that country.

SOUTH MAY GET war TAX
Congress Is Considering
The Question Of Its
Return.

$50, 100000 illegally collected
from the South as a civil war
tax be returned to that section
by congress and disbursed in the
form Of pensions to Southern sur
vivors of the war and confeder-
ate widows is the suggestion Of
General Bennett H. Young, COM
mander in chief of the United
Confederate Veterans. General
Young has written several men,
bers of congress outlining the
plan, and indications are that it
will be seriously considered.
The sum is the result Of a levy
on individual growers of cotton
Immediately after the civil war.
1t was regarded at that time as a
punishment and as a means of
forcing the South to pay a share
of the cost of the war. The su-'
preme court held the tax uncon-
stitutional, but the levy was not
stopped until $6O,00O,0OO had
been collected from an impover-
ished people.
Since that time the money has
lain idle in the treasury depart
ment. Most of the original re-
ceipts given the cotton growers
have been lost or DESTROYED. and
it is practically impossible now TO
establish claims for reimburse
ments. General Young believes
that to return the money to vet
Grams and their widows would be
a generous effort to repair the
wrongs done a generation ago by
unlawfully taxing a wasted
region.
