Interest Is Encouraging.

We haven't heard lately of any in
crease Of interest in Washington in our
undertaking, but 1t must be remember
ed that we have not in any way tried
to arouse interest. What display of
activity there was among Washington
housewives was wholly voluntary, and
as we were not in position to meet
them half way. it is only natural that
they should have dropped the subject
until such time as we are in position
taken at all without effort on our part
is ample assurance. we think, that when
the time comes there will be no great
difficulty in finding customers.
l am not violating any confidence
when I say that our committee on mar
keting favors doing business with cir
cles of housewives, but is not inclined
to depend upon them entirely to con-
sumo our produce. Established chan
their practicability has been demon
strated by thorough trial. The house
wives circles plan Is, at best, only an
experiment, and we think that it would be
a mistake to put all our eggs in one
basket So we are going to fight for
limited trade with the housewives, re-
serving a sufficient volume of produce
nels to make our business worth while
to the men who will be our marketing
agents. If the housewives circles plan
stands the test Of trial there will be
nothing to prevent that end of the
business growing until direct purchas-
ers consume all we have to sell. In
other words, our plan is a conservative
one. and in order to procure it's adop-
ton it is likely we shall have to whip
the radicals.

wind completely out of our sails. We
had taken our own time in submitting
a report, contending that it was not
practical to begin operations before
next spring, and that, therefore, there
was no hurry. The opposition having
conceded that operations could not be-

that there was no rush about adopting
a selling plan and that the matter

SO. There wasn't any answer we could
make to- this argument. was there?
AS the plan the committee recon-
mended was not adopted. there is no
need of going into details. Even
members of the committee agree that
the first of the year will be time
enough to enter into binding contracts
with prospective buyers.

confident that by next April all details
will have been worked out and all diff
ferences adjusted. and that the asso-

products will be marketed with less

] have located horse which 1 think
would answer our purposes to nicely.
The owner is willing to guarantee him
sound Mr.. Brown has looked the ami
NAL over and says he is worth the
price But the price is s125. And that
is $40 more than / can pay, unless 1
am willing to practice deception with
out going back to Jane and owning
up that j have fallen down on my un-
dertaking- Under ordinary circum-
stances there would be no difficulty
about this, but certain rather boastful
remarks of mine have raised a bar
rier which 1 can scale only by tram
ping on my pride. l should have
known better, with all the years of
married life 1 have to my credit, than
to let myself into such a trap. But
l simply got started and just kept on
going, until first thing 1 knew / had
committed myself to the proposition
buy horse for $85 which the family
would be proud to drive.
Every evening, now, Margery meets
me at the door and demands to know
why l haven't brought home the horse

consent that Bill" should be sold.
She tries to seem patient with my
tardiness. but I fear she is beginning
10 suspect me of bad faith. When one
is only five years old a week seems
long time to wait for the redemption
of a promise.
To Margery's open demands that I
produce the horse there is the added
pressure of the questioning eyes of
each evening, and it is plain I can't
delay action much longer. Two or
three times have been at the point of
announcing that l would have to spend
more money than had been agreed
upon. but each time my nerve failed
me.

pend very largely on how advantageous-
~ we buy our feed. We can buy whole

charges the very highest retail price

That she would be able to appreciate
the good points of the horse which 1
eventually would purchase.
Unless / miss my guess, before we
get home Jane will have figured out
now. by economizing in certain other

extra $40 investment. l can hear her
