His heart was singing. for he knew

knew, too, that his love for Esther,
deep in his heart, had been the guild

Esther, standing in the living room,
looked ut him piteously when he came
in. She could hardly restrain the
tears that came into her eyes. She
had resolved to go away, never to see

She looked incredulously at him ;
she felt his arms about her and her
own heart beating; and then the long,
long waiting was merged into the
happy now.

BRI TAIN WAS TOO
LATE WITH BLOCKADE
SWEDISH AUTHORITIES SAY
DELAY GAVE GERMANY TIME
TO IMPORT SUPPLIES.

Stockholm, Sweden, Feb. 2.-The
British blockade of Germany has
failed because it came too late, &C
cording to the Swedish press and
Swedish business men.
AS far as Sweden and the other
Scandinavian countries are concerned
the blockade only became really eff.
fective last April. For eight months
prior to that time, or since the very
start of the war, the Germans, antici-
ating England's tactics, were purchas-
ing enormous quantities of military
supplies, especially copper, cotton, an
tlmony and tin through Sweden, Den
max and Norway Importers here are
convinced that by the time the block
ade was perfected Germany had stored
up such quantitis of these and other
war materials as to meet all her needs
for possibly two years
The claims of the British govern
ment that quantities of war material
have been smuggled into Germany
through Sweden are bitterly resented
by Swedish merchants. These claims.
which have been given as a reason for
placing all sorts of restrictions on
Swedish mercantile trade are,
based on statistics showing sreat in
crcases for Sweden's importation's
from England and America. The
Swedish merchants point out, however
that prior to the war; Sweden was
heavy purchaser\ of German goods.
The war has practically p2ralyized
this trade and the country has had to
turn to other markets.
In addition, moreover, it is pointed
out that Russia has placed enormous
orders for war supplies in Sweden and
that much Of the raw material to fill
these orders had to be imported from
England or the United States. The
blockade has seriously interfered with
this industry, In fact%it has forced
the price of many sorts of metals here
higher than they are in Germany For
example, $l,40 pound is being paid
here for tin, $2.37 a pound for anti
mony and SIPS for aluminium.
An opinion frequently expressed
here is that as far as the scandinavian
countries are concerned, England ha;
only succeeded in creating ill feeling
among the neutrals by her blockade
without seriously injuring Germany.

ELECTRICAL FARMS
NOW POPULAR

A few years ago electricity on the
farm was novelty. Today there are
any number of farms where electric
light and power are available.
A compile electric plant can be in
stalled for a few hundred dollars.
They are practically automatic in ac-
ton and require little attention. They
take up very little room in the cellar
and the trrrent can be used to light all
the fa-m tuiIdings, for small heating
and cooking devices in the home and
for electric fans, vacuum cleaners, etc.
