Dora Stanton paused in the midst of her
ironing to gaze wearily at the heap Of un-
finished clothes in the basket She was
so tired she would like to put the rest
away, but there was that pink dress of
Mollie's to be gotten ready and shirts for
the boys and their father.
Mechanically she started to iron again,
occasionally stopping to wipe the beads
of perspiration that gathered on her hot
forehead. Once in while a cool breeze
reached her from the open window, but
the kitchen was unbearably hot.
The door bell rang. and as she turned
To answer it she brushed back a few
oose strands of gray hair with her hand.
Rrhere was no life in her movements,
every bone in her body ached and cried
out for rest.

nized her visitor.
Yes, Dora" the other said. ARE you
surprised? Didn't you get my letter."
81 got your letter yesterday, but have
been so busy that l haven't found time
to read it." Dora replied.
srwell, am sure that's nice thing to
DO with a sisters letter." Martha an
kswered, and followed her sister to the
kitchen.
Haven't you got it hot in here. Dora?"
She exclaimed. "And mercy, look at that

to yourself?'
Her sister smiled wearily Did YOU

she asked.

Martha told of how she had written she
was coming for few weeks rest, but
I am sure IL anyone needed rest it's YOU, "
she concluded.
Supper that night was unbearable to
Martha. She couldn't see her sister slav-
ing so for her family. This for John, that
for Dick. this for Mollie, 1t was really
wicked for Dora to work the way she
did, and looking at her brother-in-law
Martha felt a rush of resentment toward
him calmly accepting all of his wife's
attentions to the entire neglect of her
self.
mo wonder he looks SO fine" she
thought. He is at least five years older
than Dora and looks ten years younger" {"
Supper ended, Martha expected her sis

twenty years, couldn't help with the
dishes as she was going out.

Persons intimate with the

to take a defensive position in
this case that much land to day
would have been renting for
about as much as the land itself
without fertilizer, AID in its i'm

duce. Notwithstanding this fact
the rent of much of this land to
day comes alarmingly near Gov
ering it's entire gross yield with
out fertilizer. In cases like this
the only hope the farmer has is
to increase his cotton crop and
fertilizer bill, working self and
family like slaves, hoping the
cotton crop in Texas will fail
so that he can meet his obliga-
tions. We are not surprised
that the business world should
be so alarmed while agriculture
