could be induced to go into the chicken
business under the auspices of the club.
II they averaged keeping but 100 hens

the buyers in Washington and other

It may sound sort of visionary to talk
of converting our community into one
of the chief poultry centers of the
country, but it has been done else
where; why not here? 1t may not al

done that way in some instances. Only

theory of cooperative selling has been
demonstrated absolutely to be work
able in farming districts much more
enterprising than our own. They are

she looked down again at her notes
and made few SO carefully that the

that her fingers had trembled.

She rose obediently, and, going to the
piano, sat down. He placed new song
on the rack, and, as was her custom.
heed to all the varying shades OF ex-
preston. When she had thus given the
pupil a clear idea of the piece as a
whole Jordan began to teach Miss
Sterling to sing it.
Helena Hay had almost spent her
whole life before the piano. Her father
had been musician of the type that
adores music without being able ade-
quately to express himself in it. Helena
was two years old when he placed her
hands on the keys for the first time
His intention was to make Of her
what he could not make of himself, but
he did not reckon on the girls own in
clination. She had no love for the pro-
fession. She had seen her father grow
old, nearly blind and stopped over the
piano, and she wanted something else
for Notwithstanding which she con-
sidered better. She wanted a home and
freedom of hands and ears and brain.
She loved housework and homely
duties. Time came when she felt that
she hated music. But her father was
failing now and no longer able to earn;
she must win their bread in the only
way She knew.
She played on mechanically, teach
ing and accompanying. Then Jordan,
the great teacher; heard her play one
night and hired her for his studio. So
the last year of her fathers life she
was able to give him every comfort.
She felt then that her persistence and.
yes, her sacrifice had paid. But after
he was gone the battle of life seemed
not worth the weapons it took to fight
it. She had nobody else in the world.
and she was the kind OF woman who
must have something to cherish and to
love. 1t was then she fell in love with
Jordan himself.
Now, Jordan was man who was by
nature Indifferent to women. He gave
himself wholly to his work. After four
years of almost daily association with
him Helena knew 40 more of him than
that he was brusque, businesslike, alb
sorbed in his own affairs. He had not
married, she felt, because marriage
might prove hindrance. And he want
ed nothing that would detrac- from the
quality of his work.
Helena, with her woman's Intuition,
knew, however, that some time the
right woman would come for him. To-
day she felt that the right woman had
come in the person Of Miss Sterling.
She had never hoped for herself-her
love was too humble for that. Never
theless. she felt the misery OF knowing
that there was no longer any possibil-
ity of hope AS she sat playing she
was scarcely aware of what she did,
yet so thoroughly trained was she
that her fingers performed their part
without once stumbling.
They were liz the midst of brill
liant etude when, without any warn
ing, her right hand dropped from the
keys powerless She tried to lift 1t.
Miss Sterling's voice had ceased with
the piano. The break irritated Jordan.

with the beginning of the new year
there are signs of a revival Of inter-
est In the Friendly Neighbors Club and
its plan of cooperative marketing
There Is to be a meeting Wednesday
night at the schoolhouse and 1t Is ex-
pected something definite in the way of
a program will then be agreed upon.
The committee on marketing, OF
which l am q member. has been going
along in a half-hearted sort of way
since last fall. studying the question
and collecting more or less use1ui
data There wasn't any great incentive
to hard work. because there appeared
TO be so little interest among members
of the club. / had begun to doubt II
there was any chance that a really
workable plan could be agreed upon
and put into operation.
The trouble with cooperative mar
keting from our community seems TO
be the wide diversity of products ana
the lack of any common controlling IN
terest. What l mean is that we are
not poultry community, nor dairy
ing community. nor 4 fruit community
nor a truck gardening community We
produce n little of about everything
producatle in this soil and climate, and
not very much of any one thing. such
a situation does not lend it's to .le
effective cooperation that IS possible
in n neighborhood where there is one

every farm.
Potatoes as Founda tion.
On the eastern shore of Virginia
there is about the most successful sell
ing association anywhere IN this part
of the country. But the eastern shore
counties have two staples which every
farm produces in large quantities
white potatoes and sweet potatoes. 1t
is upon the marketing of these that
the association is foundationed. What

know whether other trucking products
are marketed through the association
or not, but If they are, their sale is
