Dick must have sent out the S. o.
S. cal, for last night whole clan met
in my room. Ostensibly it was fare
well party at the hospital, for to-
morrow I will move to Mrs. SelWin's.
Eliene brought a wonderfully en-
brOidered Chinese mandarin coat and
a piece of Chinese embroidery to
throw over the bed.
Pat gave me a little book bound
in red, with Confessions Of a Wife"
on the outside. I had never known
before that my friends were aware Of
my devotion to my diary.
Pat whispered, 81 hope that some
day you will let me print the con-

Strange, isn't it, little book, how
pictures of pieces of statuary, poems
or scraps of music come back to you
again and again in the most crucial
moments of life.
Here were these friends who had
come here to comfort and help me
over the hard place, yet they could
not do anything. Their hands clasped
mine, their eyes were filled with sym

the corn acreage in this vicinity is
probably not as great as it has been
in some former years. the heavy yield
promised will bring the total amount
of that grain to be garnered we'll up
to the average. Inquiry has revealed
hat some farmers, discouraged by
the poor corn crop of 1915, this year
planted a larger proportion of small
grain and less corn than usual.
Except for a short period in mid
summer, when dry weather threaten
ed to retard growth, the ummer was
almost an ideal one for corn. Corn
we'll cared for is large and well de
veloped, it is said. Farmers today
estimated that at least rs per cent OF
the crop is out Of danger. Old set
tiers point optimistically to the fact
that the district last night expert
enced the coming Of a full NOON,
without an accompanying frost.
They look for many days of contin-
ued mild weather, and point out that
another week or so of warmth will
mature all corn in this section.

was necessary that there be concur
renee in the amendments before ii
could become law. This would have
required an enrolment OF the bill
and there was not sufficient time aft.
er the bill was reported back TO the
house for action on the part OF the
house and then the ENROLMENT OF the
bin in order that il might be signed
by the president before adjournment.
The bin will come before the house
early i'm December and the amend
ments made by the senate either con
CURED in or disagreed to. In ease of
concurrence, the bill will, of course
become a law Immediately upon APP
prevail by the president. If the house
does not concur in the amendments
the result will be a conference TO ad-
just the differences between the two
houses. The final passage Of the bill
in December is therefore practically
assured.
