More Beans, Peas, Peanuts.

As important features of it's supple mentary program for feeding the na- ton, its armies, and the allies, the United States department of agricul- ture recommends that great attention be paid to the production of beans. peas and peanuts. On these subjects the program states:
 ''The production of beans and peas should be increased in regions to which they are adapted. because of their high food value, keeping quali- ties. and availability for domestic or export trade.
 "Soy beans and peanuts should be increased in order to supplement beans and peas as human food. as a source of much-needed oil, and as animal feeds.
 ''The production of beans last year in the six leading states increased from 10,715,OOO bushels to 15,7O1 ,OOO bushels, and peanuts from 35,324, 800 bushels to 6O222.OOO bushels. But these increases proved to be greatly needed, and there is every indication that large increases will be readily ab- sorbed in 1918.
 "The peanut is especially valuable because of the oil it contains, for which the need is great. In the South especially, soy beans and peanut meal are proving very satisfactory as par tial substitutes for, wheat. Both soy beans and peanuts are of great value as forage crops."

Some 1913 Garden Needs.

Market gardens near large consum- ing centers should be increased so as to meet, as nearly as possible, the needs of the community, and in order to obviate the necessity of transport ing such products from distant points.
 The planting of home gardens, esne- cially for family needs and for pre- serving food for future use, again should be emphasized.
 The commercial production of per ishables generally should be increased above normal wherever 1t is reasona. bly clear that transportation and mar keting facilities will be available.

 Smiling and wondering what joke she was up to now, he took up the envelope and broke the seal with fingers that would tremble. soldier that he was. It had no heading, and pug zled he read on, and on. Then light suddenly dawned on him. strange dig Z1neSS seized him, and he sat down. The realization staggered him. but no longer did he hesitate. He had found himself and was without trembling, going over the top to his first great victory. He began at the very first and read the note through again. then with an exultant look on his face, he reached for pad and drew forth his pen and wrote with fingers that no longer trembled:

 The days followed the sending of the box dragged as they never had be- fore to Lucille Virginia. Coming in late one afternoon from her Red Cross work a tall figure came from the H. brary to meet her.
 "Why Warren" she exclaimed, with little catch in her voice, as she extended both hands to meet his out stretched ones.
 "When did you come" she asked, pulling her hands from his restraining clasp as she turned to lay off her wraps and collect her startled senses.
 ''An hour ago." he replied, as they walked into the library.
 'Why didn't you let me know?"
 "Because-I-well,I I wanted to sur prise you," he blurted out as if the words were forced from him, as talk ing her hand he drew her to the dav- enport.
 'I wanted to see if you were glad to see me-" he laughed. Are you" he questioned, looking her full in the face.
 Fighting for time to meet that which she saw in his face, she answered: : "Of course I am always glad to see my friends. Captain Fielding" and she raised her hand in mock salute and flashed him teasing smile.
 "Stop!" he commanded. In sheer surprise she dropped her hand. For once she was too surprised and as- founded to think of anything to say.
 Lucille, several days ago received a box of candy and a note that I read and only at the close did realize that it was not for me. How it ever came to me do not know all that mattered was that you certainly did not love the man to whom it was written as had supposed. Now I am tired of 1ests you have had your way long enough; and you are going to listen to me and do just as I say; for, hand in hand with the knowledge that you did not love the other man, was born hope that you confirmed by face and voice, when I arrived just now. You love me. I am the captain of your fate, and you-you-are to be my-w1fe, he concluded reverently, but emphat- ically.
 For a moment silence lay between them; then very softly, he said: Lucille. sweetheart?" "Yes. my cap tain," she whispered. surrendering her self into his arms.
