A Lesson for America.
rom the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The harvesting Of what promises to
be record crops has begun in Germany.
The outlook for rye, wheat, oats and
barley is especially good and fruit
looks well. Other food staples are ex-
nected to be abundant. Extraordinary
EFFORTS have been made to plant the
largest possible acreage. Great pains
have been taken to insure adequate cul-
tiyation and fertilizing. The reward
promises to be ample.
By virtue of such hard and scientinc
work Germany expects to be able to
feed its people for the next year with
out relying upon foreign countries for
any necessaries of life 1t is deemed

THE DAILY STORY.
THE FRAME.UP.
Copyright. 1915. ny ". Werner,


Betty Lane and Peter Granger were
honestly in love. Peter enjoyed their en-
gagement with the zestful. healthy
| thoughtlessness of him who recks not of
the morrow. Peter had $500 month
whether he worked or not. Nominally.
he did something in his uncle's banking
Offices, but he never let that fact inter
fere with his social activities at ALL
Betty enjoyed the enga cement. too. but
although she was twenty-four, the same
as Peter, she was several centuries older.
She had witnessed the matrimonial ship
wrecks Of their set very tfoughtfully, and
she was afraid What if she and Peter
should marry and catastrophe should
overtake them? Would Peter be equal to
financial reverses, or boredom, that tool
of Satan among the idle rich? Betty 8
gray eyes saw clearly that most Of the
shipwrecks came from lack of ballast
and bad steering. Nice boys and girls
married without those responsibilities
which made character hence, they mad
not sufficient character to meet unlocked
for occasions. She knew Billy's fiber.
but she had seen other good fiber go rot
| ton from non-use. Billy needed reSponsi- :
bility. She determined that he should
lave it-enough to forestall their own
| ships getting Swamped
| How Betty Lane ever persuaded Her
bert Granger to cause his nephew's al
lowance to stop is unimportant Sufficient
to say that she did accomplish 1t In some
way. The old banker approved of John
Lanes gray-eyed daughter. Perhaps he
also had had fears of a marriage where
money is too plentiful to bother about.
Herbert Changers own youth had pos
sessed none of the ease that Peter took as
I! a matter of course.
And SO one fine day found Peter
Granger facing necessity for the first time
| in his life. A more surprised boy never
was. Its like waking up in a strange
| room,' he told Betty. He had come
straight to her, of course. And. al
though Uncle Herbert didn't say not to,
you mustn't breathe a word For it GER
tainly looks bad for uncle's concern If
they can't spare a mere five hundred a
month, doesn't it? l guess he wouldn't
want that known outside. l don't under
stand it at ALL He told me I'd have
to trust him to do the right thing. for
he couldn't explain now. He's been some
uncle to me, so l guess l can do that
much easy enough But

Shutting Out the Light.

There are penitentiaries in some Of
our states which prevent prisoners
from writing to their friends more
than one letter a week-in some peni-
tentiaries the rules may be even
stricter. There is no limit to the num-
ber of letters q prisoner is allowed to
receive, but they must be confined
strictly to business and family mat
allowed to be received unless sent di-
rect from publishers. It may be good
policy to put some men behind bars
and shut out physical light from them,

TRAINING Of FUTURE

The movement among the larger un1-;

Wood stopped in Washington last week
on his way to Richmond. Va, where he
addressed the alumni of the Virginia
Military Institute.
