emily. Then he bolted hastily from
the place without paying for his drink.

"Hepsey Burke, what in the name OF

place like this?' he demanded when
he could get his breath. Don't you
know you'll ruin your reputation If
you're seen sittin' in a saloon?"
"Oh, don't let that worry you, HI

"Oh well, man can do a lot of
things woman can't, without losin'

to Mrs. Burke's face as she retorted
hotly:
"Yes, there's the whole business.

and then when he wants to settle down

Mrs. Burke enjoyed hugely the dis
gust and the grimages with which
Green swallowed the syrupy mixture.
He then beat hasty retreat down the
street. For two hours Hepsey receiv-

The door now opened slowly and q
small girl, miserably clad, entered the
saloon. Her head was covered with a
worn soiled shawl. From underneath
the shawl she produced a battered tin
pail and placed it on the bar with the
phlegmatic remark, "Pa wants a
quart of beer"
Mrs. Burke looked at the girl and
then at Bingham, and then back at
the girl inquiringly.
Are you in the habit of getting
beer here child?"
"Sure thing" the girl replied cheer
fully.

to the rung OF another chair, and pull

To Assist Growers

s'It is of the first importance that every assistance shall be given to growers of perishables ip/ the mar keting of them, and also that. sur pluses shall be preserved through ev- cry approved means said Secretary Houston of the Department of Agri- culture, July IT, at the orisning of a conference which he had called.
 Further aid in caring for surplus fruits and vegetables, especially the products of home orchards and gar dens, is the object of this conference called by the Secretary of Agricu1- ture and which will continue as long as may be necessary. Secretary Houston has caused a telegraphic survey to be made showing just where there are more fruits and vegetables of home growth than can be conserved in. the usual way and the conference will endeavors to pro- vide means of relief in these sec- tions. Secretary Houston's Address
 In greeting the conference Secre- tary Houston said:
 "The farmers, aided by nature, have made a magnificent response to the appeals of the President for in creased production. Not only is there a prospect of large crops of cer- | tain staple products but it is apparent that there will be particularly large
 output this year of perishables. Many agencies throughout the country have especially urged the people, not
 only in the country districts but also
 in urban communities. to plant gar l dens. There is therefore not only
 an increased production in the usual areas but a considerable addition in l these new places.
 The Marketing of Peristables
 ''The marketing of perishables pre- sents peculiar difficulties. They must be marketed promptly. The danger always Is that of bad distri-
 button and of a glut of the markets. There is a further danger that, either through inability to reach the mar kets or through neglect, a very large part of the perishable products will be lost to the consuming world. It Is therefore of the first importance that every assistance shall be given to growers of perishables in the market ling of them, and also that surpluses shall be preserved through every ap4 proved means.
