mis-, but don't you remember that the
doctor said you must be outdoors
lot and recommended golf?
Dick, I know you will forgive me
if tell you you are very apt to do
only one thing at a time. Perhaps
that is the only way to do things well,
but l don't think you should concen-
trate on anything to the detTiment OF
your health and everything else in
the world.
mo, my husband, am not lectur-
ing you at all 1 am only trying to
tell you what you yourself impressed
upon me so carefully the other day
your life and health are very neces-
sary to a great many people just now
in this crisis.
you were looking a little worn
the last time you were down here
and want to coax you to take a
fresh hold. Can you not come down
here and stay the week end and let
JUS have a good time together as we
used to do with our old and tried
friends?
Jim said the other day he knew
something was worrying you, but
you had said nothing to him and he
did not feel at liberty to ask. That is
just the difference, dear, between the
friendship of men and the friendship
of women. When I look worn or I'M
happy, MolIie or Eiene gets it out of
me within "A hours, if the secret is
my own.
81 would not tell them anything
about this business of yours, Dick,
because you asked me not to do so,
but do believe if you would talk to
Jim he would help you. You have
been friends so long, and l believe,
Dick, jim Edie loves you and me
better than any other two people in
the world.

WORRIES OF MEN
Do you know, little book, 1 had
some hesitancy about writing to
Dick-I was afraid even my letters
would be a bother in the. terrific
struggle in which he is engaged and
yet I did not want him to feel the
lack of my sympathy. Yesterday l
wrote him. l could not be silent any
OngeT.
i wish, oh, how I wish, Dick dear,
that I could do something! Daily,
hourly, infinitely, I picture you over
there all alone, thinking and plan
ming about things, sweating blood in
your agony of work and worry over
conditions you are trying to remedy.
What l want to say in such way
that you cannot mistake my mean
ing is if worst comes to worst, try to
eliminate me from the whole affair.
[ think we could save the old home
for Mrs. SeIwin, and, Dick, am well
now and l am sure l can work and
help you on your feet again if
need be.
However, dear, somehow feel it
is all going to come out right. Sure
Iy you and l who have lived so long
together are not going to become
bankrupt in both material and spir-
ituaI things.
q hope you can get away next
Saturday and come over here for the
week end. Malcolm Stuart has in
vited Chad and Mollie, Harry and FL
tene, Alice and Pat, Jim and you and
me to take a trip on his new boat. I
wish you two would meet, Dick. NAL
colin has been so kind to us in many
ways that I feel rather queer that
you don't know him.
q am sure the outing would do
you good. Eliene will not take the
children, so. there can be no repeti-
ton of the lamentable incident that

The foregoing sales of carload lots
at auction shows that during period
Of rs years the Aberdeen-Angus have
made an average of 90 cents per cwt.
more than the Herefords and 81 cents
more than the ShorthOrns. These fig
ures obtained from such a practical
source and the following analyses are
significant:
Out of total Of 40 awards Aber-
deen-Angus won 40 firsts, 4S seconds
and 50 thirds; Herefords, 92 firsts, 68
seconds and As thirds; Shorthorns, 2s
6rsts, 20 seconds and "A thirds; Gallo
ways. l first, seconds and 2 thirds;
mixed, 5 frsts, 2 seconds and thirds.
The interesting feature Of the Fat
Carload Lot Competition is to learn
now many prizes each breed won
where Its rivals were not represented.
We ind that Aberdeen-Angus won s
6rsts, 3 seconds and 3 thirds where no
Herefords. Shorthorns, etc, were
shown. The Shorthorns won 10 firsts,
D seconds and Z thirds where no Aber-
deen-Angus were shown. Hereforfs
won ~ firsts, 81 seconds and 20 thirds
where Aberdeen-Angus we're absent.
BY making the proper deductions from
the actual awards and only taking into
consideration the classes In which
Aberdeen-Angus competed with Here

breeds, We find that the Aberdeen

The court-martial began ITS session
Mt nine In the morning. and the trial
OF Hardy was Owe before three in the
afternoon. Vnndcrvyn testified to the
suppression by the accused of the ex-
istence Of the developed mine and Of
Rcdbcar's misconduct.
lIardy's statements In explanation
of his actions We're as brief us they
were cold and dry. Acting as II civil
officer, he had considered the question
of Withholding any mention of the
mine ms n matter within his discretion.
When intcrrogated whether he had not
AXE advantage of this suppression
to enter the contest and win the mine
for himself, his bald admission of the
fact, unaccompanied by any cXpluna-
ton of his motives, was received by
his officer judges with marked gravity.
The other charges were far more
serious. and he opposed them with
vigor. He denied cmphaticnlly any in
