The little town itself lay dismal and
helpless. with its shacks scattered
over it's broken and uneven levels
Dawn, perhaps. found it hardest;
for in this one day Dawn had grown
up, and tomorrow would bring the boy
whom she now confessed to loving.
though she confessed it with self-con-
tempt, leading a force to meet that of
her own people, fighting to avenge her
father. Juanita, whose eyes could not
escape ironical reminders when she
glanced down at the Christmas pack
ages. seemed to hear over and over
the voice of Anse Havey saying: I'm

And in Anse she saw once more the

But the next morning Anse Havey
. came again and cautioned the two
women not to leave their rooms and
not to keep their shutters open. All
that day the town lay like a turtle
tight drawn into its shell. Streets
were empty. Doors were locked and
shutters barred. But toward evening
to the girls bewilderment. she saw
Haveys riding out of town instead OF
into it. Soon there were no more
horses at the racks. By night the
place which was to be assaulted to
morrow seemed to have been aban
doned by it's defenders.

Then followed another wretchec
night. and with forenoon the snow
wrapped town settled down to the
empty silence of a cemetery, but with
early afternoon the new procession
began to come in. A long and con
tinuous stream of McBriar horsemen
each armed to the teeth, rode past thu
hotel and went straight to the court
house. Then she heard again the
night in the mountains. only now i
came from a hundred threats.

shots. The clan was going away again

Slowly. and one by one, Anse Havey

They all waited to hear the old lion

eye of the father. not the feudist, that

NEW ENGLAND MILK PRODU-
GERS ASSOCIATION MEETING.

The New England Milk Producers
association held a meeting at Spring
field on Nov. % for the purpose Of
organizing and discussing the ways
and means to make their organiza-
ton more effective and more general
in it's scope. F. J. Libby of Newport,
secretary of the Newport Branch of
the New England Milk Producers as
ISOLATION, was sent as a delegate from
the Newport branch. There is some
difference in opinion whether the or
ganization should be a federated or
ganization or a union of all the inter
ests of New England. The southern
part Of New England is in favor Of
federation while the northern part ia
vors union. At the meeting there
was not sufficient time to work out all
the details Of the organization, but
the matter was well discussed and at
some time in the near future the or
ganization will be consummated on
an efficient and practical basis. The
milk problem Of New England is one
which affects all New England and
should be worked out on a uniform
basis.

ORLEANS COUNTY BULL FOR
UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
HERD.

B. F. Butterfeld of Derby Line,
who is breeding some high-class Ayr
shires, has presented the University
of Vermont a young bull calf from
one of his best cows: The bull is
sired by his herd bull, which is an
animal of exceptional individuality
and breeding. The dam is Alta
Crest, No. 32,747, Advanced Registry
No. 1910. She made a record at two
years, 118 days, which makes her a
junior two-year-old. Her record is
1928 pounds of milk testing 4.25 per
cent fat, 366 pounds of butterfat for
the year. This is very good record
for such young animal. The cow is
on test at the present time and bids
fair to make good record as a four
year-old. The university feels very
much pleased to be given such an ami
NAL for the development of their Ayr
shire herd. There are quite large
number of farmers visiting the uni
versity barns each year and this will
bring Mr.. Butterfeld's herd into more
or less prominence through the gift.

plished by most thorough discus
sion of each department of the work
It would be a fine thing if farmers
could participate in such confer
ence. It would be a great stimula-
ton to the work which the county

NARROWED OVER MONTH.

Oatmeal, but Went Crazy.

Clayoquot, B. C.-Marooned for thir-
ty-four days on small island in the
Pacific ocean is the experience Of Ev-
erett Fitzpatrick, Il rancher of Flores
island, according to word received here.
He left Ahousat. where he had pur-
chased provisions, alone in canoe, and
when near a small uninhabited island
he was caught in a squall and his ca
noe was sWamped.
Fitzpatrick managed to save a sack
of flour, a package Of oatmeal and a
few matches. A case Of coal oil also
was washed ashore. On these provi-
sions he existed for more than a month.
Big waves washed over the small is
land, but by flashing himself to one of
the trees he managed to hold on. He
was found by two Pesquoit Indians in
a demented condition.

teaching | have never known any one
who has worked as hard as does the
daughter Of the president"
Miss Wilson has lyric soprano
voice. with dramatic tendency. She
sings with perfect breath control, and
in the studio takes high d with ease.
In public. however, she has sung only
up to B flat She is able to sustain her
high voice, which is growing every
day. She is essentially a lieder singer,
Of the greatest lieder singers in Amer
lea. Her German is perfect. and she
has good command of French anG
Italian. Of course she sings in Eng
lish too.
But, what is more remarkable, Miss
Wilson has the mettle to stand up to
deliver her message. She has the pow
er of concentration and the proper
amount of nerve" to become Il sue
cessful singer
While her private recitals had at
tracted considerable recognition it was
public appearance ut the Syracuse mu-
sic festival last May t.: a determined
her to become q prOfC.. nal singer.
Subsequent concerts in Cleveland ana
Buffalo. where she won the uLitinted
praise of all the musical critics, cen
vinced her that she had decided wise
ly. Wilson G. Smith. an influential
Cleveland critic. publicly announced
before the concert that if she did not
deliver the goods" he would send he'
back to the White House. But the
following day he wrote:
at was her unaffected personality
and the sympathetic and lyric quail
ties of her voice that won the audi
ence
"There were no efforts at vocal Chi
canery to catch the audience. Her at
titude toward her art and her auditors
was one of genuine earnestness to in
terpret the musical language she loves.
without self exploitation.
1.-THE sincerity Of her artistic predi-
lection was evidenced in her selection
and sympathetic Interpretation of two
Of Robert FranZ's too much neglected
songs, models of classic purity. If Miss
Wilson had done nothing else she
would have won my critical esteem"
With criticisms of such a nature it
was only natural that Miss Wilson
should feel encouraged to sing at other
festivals. She will appear at several
events in April and May, and next fall
she will begin an extended concert
tour, singing in New York as we'll as
in the principal eastern and southern
cities.

FUTURE FARMER TO
BE BUSINESS MAN

Farming is a business: agriculture
is a science The tiller of the soil
who blends these two is the man to
whom the future offers success
THE hopes of the nation depend
upon the development Of just such
men. There are possibilities open to-
day to the boy on the farm that may
well excite the envy of the city boy
and there is abundant promise that
many such boys, with documentary
knowledge of farming, are deVotlng
their mental energies toward mas
terry of the subject that promises
them rich returns"
The average American farmer is a
great national asset, upon whose real
welfare the prosperity of the nation IN
large measure depends"
Farmers and manufacturers are
the two producing factors that have
made our nation great, and though
they may not be linked together by
visible ties, their interests, and the
purpose and results of their efforts,
are one"
THE American farmer must be a
master of the more profitable methods
of diversifying and rotating his crops
and marketing his products"
Prior to 1897 farmers were, in
many cases, selling their products at
a loss. Since then what the farmer
sells has increased in price faster than
the commodities that he buys
THE wealth represented by farm
interests in this country is estimated
to approximate $4,000, 100000. About
half this capital is invested in land !;

Why Grow Soy Beans
on Sandy Lands?

Because they are more resls-
tent to heat and drought than
are clovers or alfalfa.
Because they may be substl-
tuted as a catch crop for ch0ver
when the latter kills out.
Because they rank with lin
seed and cottonseed meal as
concentrated feed for cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Because they gather nitrogen
from the air and store it in their
roots, thus improving the soil IN
which they grow.
Because they may be grown
on soil too acid for clover.
