 Quartering against the mad hurri- zane, they drove and rode on until the team could hardly be urged to further effort against the infuriated elements De Spain riding at intervals as far to the right and the left as he dared Tn vain quest of landmark. When ne halted beside the wagon for the last time he was a mass of snow and ice; horse and rider were frozen to each other. He got down to the ground with visible effort, and in the singing wind told Duke his plan and purpose
 lie had chosen on the open desert a hollow falling somewhat abruptly rom the north, and beneath it's shoul- der, while Morgan loosened the horses. he scooped and kicked away a mass of snow. The wagon had been drawn just above the point of refuge, and the two men, with the aid of the wind. dumped it over sidewise, making of the body windbreak over the hollow, a sort of roof, around which the snow, driven by the gale, would heap itself in hard waves. Within this shelter the men slowed Nan. The horses were driven down behind it, and from one of them De Spain took the collar, the tugs and the whifiietrees. He stuck hitching strap in his pocket, and while Morgan steadied the Lady's head, De Spain buckled the collar on her, doubled the tugs around the whifiie- tree, and fastened the roll at her side in front of the saddle.
 Nan came out and stood beside him as he worked. When he had finished she put her hand on his sleeve. He held her close, Duke listening, to tell her what he meant to try to dc. Each knew it well might be the last moment together "One thing and another have kept us from marriage VOWS, Nan said De Spain. beckoning at

 She looked up into his eyes, i've promised you l would l will promise every time you ask me. l never could have but one answer to that, Henry 1t must always be yesl"
 "Then take me, Henry" he said slowly, 'here and now for your welded husband. Will you do this, Nan?"
 Still looking into his eyes, she an- swered without surprise or fear: Hen ", do take you"
 And I, Henry, take you, Nan, here and now for my welded wife, for bet ter for worse, for richer for poorer. from this day forward, until death us do part"
 They sealed their pact with silent embrace. De Spain turned to Duke. "You are the witness of this marriage, Duke. You will see, if an accident happens, that anything, everything I have-some personal property-my fa- ther's old ranch north of Medicine Bend-some little money in bank at Sleepy Cat-goes to my wife, Nan Nor gan de Spain. Will you see to it?"
 q will. And if it comes to me-you, De Spain, will see to it that what stock I have in the gap goes to my niece, Nan. your wife"
 She looked from one to the other of the two men. "All that I have" she said in turn. "the lands in the gap, ev- erywhere around Music mountain, go to you two equally together, or which ever survives. And if you both live, and I do not, remember my last mes sage--bury the past in my grave"
 Duke Morgan tested the cinches of the saddle on the Lady once more, un- Ioosed the tugs once more from the horses shoulder, examined each buckle of the collar and every inch of the two strips of leather, the re-enforced fas- tenings on the whifIietree, rolled all up again. strapped it, and stood by the head till De Spain swung up into the saddle. He bent down once to whis- Der last word of cheer to his wife, and. without looking hack, headed the Lady into the storm.

WHEAT.
A Successful crop.

Winter wheat has been a very sue cessful crop in all parts of the state the past season. The cool, moist weather which prevailed during the main period of growth of the crop was ideal for wheat Wheat is well adapted to better soils at least throughout the northern half of the state. In southern sections of the state wheat has yielded well on the more fertile river bottom soils for the past three years, and did well on uplands in 1915 and 1917 Experience has shown that wheat ordinarily is no. well adapted to the sandy coastal plain soils, nor to hill soils in general, which are low in fertility.
 Wheat On Every Farm For Flour.
 The present food crisis makes it es- sential that more wheat be grown than ever before and on every Arkan- sas farm at least few acres Of wheat should be grown on the most fertile land for home consumption. It is essential that good seed and good cultural treatment be given to insure success.
 Seed At the Right Time.
 Wheat is best seeded about the time of the first killing frost in order to avoid danger of Hessian Fly The time of seeding will vary from Octo- Der 10 in northwest Arkansas to No vemher 25 in southern sections. Seeding with a grain drill requires less seed and usually results in a more uniform stand, especially dur ing dry seasons. Five or six pecks per acre are required with drill.
 Many Varieties Yield We'll.
 There are large number of varie- ties which yield well and are well adapted to the state Red May, Fultz. Southern or Alabama Bluestem, Cur rell's Prolific, and Purple Straw are good smooth-headed varieties. and Fulcaster and Dietz are desirable bearded varieties Most of these va rieties are offered for sale by seeds- men. Bulletin 12i on wheat can oe obtained by writing to the Arkansas Experiment Station, Fayetteville.

MORE SMALL GRAINS SHOULD BE: PLANTED
In Order To Grow Such Crops 1t Is Important That Caution Be ob.

By L. W. Osborn, Assistant Agrono.
 mist University of Arkansas.

An increased acreage of small grains should be planted on all Ark ansas farms this fall simply because ing to pay well for it. However in order to grow such crops with safety and profit it is important that eau ton be observed relative to varieties used and culture given. The adapta- ton of winter oats, wheat and rye for varying conditions should be under stood, and the proper cereal should be chosen for the particular conditions represented.

OATS. Adapted To a Wide Range of Soils.
OATS.

Adapted To a Wide Range of Soils.
 Ordinarily for grain production the winter oat crop is better adapted over a wider range of soil conditions than wheat. While it is true that winter killing of fall-seeded oats was com mon in many fields over the state, es- pecially in the northern half, the past season, the fact remains that individ- usl farmers in different sections es- caped with a low percentage of win ter killing In many instances the severe winter-killing of the crop has been due to late seeding and to poor preparation of seed bed.
 Seed Early.
 Winter oats should be seeded early enough in the fall to permit plants to make a good growth of basal foliage before cold weather but not so early as to permit booting to occur. The most safe date of seeding will vary from September 25 in northwest Ark ansas to about November 10 in south ernmost sections. It is not wise to risk failure through delayed seeding.
 Plant With Grain Drill.
 Seed should be planted with a grain drill since plants seeded in furrow are better protected from win ter killing than those seeded broad cast on the surface. Winter Turf Oats should be seeded at not less than two and a one-half bushels per acre. and the long-nulled strains of Red Rust Proof at not less than three or three and one-half bushels per acre Broadcast seedlings should be increased at least half bushel per acre.
 A Good Seed Bed Essential.
 Winter oats planted on well drain cd humus-flled soils come through the winter, in severe seasons, much better than oats planted on soils in poor physical condition. A compact seed bed is very important and land should he broken considerably in ad- vance of the time of seeding, or at least carefully rolled before the oats are seeded.

The Best Varieties.

Winter Turf and C-iberson varie- ties of oats are most resistant to win tor killing. Both varieties are ordi. uarily dependable on well drained. fertile soils in the northern half of the state The Red Rust Proof oat and it's different strains--Appler. Cook. Bancroft, Ferguson Fl, and Full ghum. is probably most dependable for grain production in central and southern sections of the state.

NOTES FROM TELLER AND VI.
 CiNiTY.

The many friends of MT. and Mrs. Wm Marx will be pleased to learn that a most successful operation for tonsilitis was performed on their son, Wm. jr, by the surgeon of the coast guard cutter Bear. The boy was talk en i'll a day or two before the Bear arrived at Teller and was in serious condition when the vessel appeared in port. It Is thought that the unex- pected arrival of the surgeon saved the childs life.
 He is now completely recovered from the operation, much to the joy of his anxious mother and friends.
 Judge Iarx was away with the rein deer herd at the time and has not returned yet.
 The graphite mine in the. Sawtooth range in the vicinity of Salt lake, which was expected to ship out a large quantity of ore this summer. has been hampered by adverse condi-
 
 tions and bad luck in getting the ore to tidewater, about three and a half miles from the mine. A traction motor was brought in last summer to be used in hauling the ore to the lighters but for some reason the machine has not worked in a satis- factory manner much to the dlscom- fiture of Mir. Clark, the manager of the mine, who expected big success this summer. A crew of about seven men is employed. The ore is said to be of excellent grade, running from 60 to 70 per cent graphite and there are mountains of the mineral in sight.
 Over one hundred men are employ ed in the Port Clarence precinct and q general vein of optimism is evident everywhere throughout the district. If is almost certainty that some big quartz mines will be placed in oper | ation in the York and Prince of Wales | section In the near future. Everyone | in the district is firmly imbued with the idea that the Port Clarence pre- cinct is assured of great future as A mineral producing section.
