Much Labor Supplied.

One OF the first large tasks the
bureau had to face was the supplying
of farm labor. With the assistance OF
six sub bureaus established in small
towns of the country, 419 laborers were
placed on farms of the county, eSpe-
cialiy during the spring, harvest time.
and corn picking season. Some labor
also was supplied TO the adjoining
counties.
An exchange for the listing of seed
and live stock was established early
at the bureau, and thru il s., 1872 worth
of corn. wheat, oats, and other seeds
and 1885, worth Of live stock, were
marketed.
When it became evident last spring
that much of the winter wheat had
been winter killed an especial efor:
was made to increase the corn acreage
and County Agent Buchanan estimates
that il was increased Is per cent.
4 similar campaign was made last
fall 10 increase the winter wheat acre

report that the acreage was increased

/ just in the last few days. / never
knew a person could change so much
in such little while. She's just let go
all holds and kind of sagged down,
mentally and physically. Wen have to
take care of her, Ward as long as she
lives. That's why I'm taking you there
so we can look after her. she won't
leave the Cove. IL was hoping" she
added shyly, that we could sit In
front Of our own fireplace Ward, and
nave nice coy evenings; but-well
there always seems 10 be something
for me TO do for somebody, Ward"
"Oh, you Wilhemlna I" Ward slipped
Rather and Blue, and made shift to
kiss her twice. "Long as you live,
yOu'll always be doing something for
somebody; that's the way you're made.
And nobody's been doing things for
you; but II the Lord lets me live, thats
going to be my job from now on"
He snid Il great deal more, os
course. They had nearly fifteen mi,es
TO go, and they rode at walk and a
man and n maid can say good deal
Mt such time. But l don't think they
would like TO have IL all repeated.
Their thoughts ranged far back over
the past and far into the future and
clung close to the miracle Of love that
had brought them together There is
one thing which Billy Louise, even In
har mpct caIf- -ravaaIinU r,,oH dgd not
tell Ward, and that is her doubts of
him. Never once did he dream that
she had suspected him and wrung her
heart because of her susplciOns-and
in that think she was wise and kind.
They found Seabeck and Floyd Car
son and another cowboy ut the Cove
just preparing to leave. Marthy It
transpired, had sent for them because
she wanted to make her will, so that
Billy Louise would have the Cove when
Marthy was done with it. Billy Louise
cried little and argued good deal,
but Marthy had not lost all her stub
bornness, and the will stood un-
changed.
Billy Louise and Ward were married
just as soon as Ward was able to make
the trip to the cOunty-seat, which was
just as soon as he could walk comfort
ably with a cane.
They stayed the winter in the Cove,
and a part of the spring. Then they
buried grim, gray old Marthy up On the
side hill near Jase, where she had
asked them TO lay her work-worn body
when she was gone.
They were very busy and very happy
and pretty prosperous with their three
ranches. They never heard of Charlie
Fox again, or of Buck Olney-and they
never wanted to.
If you should some time ride through
Il certain portion of idaho, you may
find the tiny valley of the Wolverine
and the decaying cabins which prove
how impossible it is for a couple to
live in three places at once. If you
should be so fortunate as to meet Billy |
Louise, she might take you through !
the canon and point out to you her
cave. 1t is possible that she might also |
show you the washOut which always |
made her and Ward laugh when they |
passed it. And if you ride up over the |
hill and along the Upland and down |
another hill, you cannot fail to find the
entrance to the Cove; and perhaps you
will like to ride down the gorge and |
see the little Eden hidden away there. |
And if you should meet them, give my
regards to Billy Louise and Ward
who never calls himself football |
these days.

BAN ON OLIVE OIL EXPORTS
Royal Order Calls Halt on Shipments
Except Essentials, From Spain
TO United States.

Olive oil exports from Spain, Of
which large quantities formerly were
shipped both directly and via France
and Italy TO the United States and
other foreign markets, from Barcelona
and Seville, are prohibited by recent
royal order states commerce reports.
In southern Spain and in the region
OF Catalonia, the olive oil industry hns
been an important source of revenue
to the growers who export to foreign
refineries, whence the oil was often
shipped TO the United States, as or
really non-Span.sh production. Re
Gently the dlrecE exports Of the com
modify from Spain 10 the United States
have increased considerably with the
development Of the American taste for
the oil produced In Spain.
There is no embargo on exports OF
essential oils such us pennyroyal, rose
mary, sage, thyme and lavender, the
Spanish production Of which is large
ly destined for foreign markets, and
shipment of which is made direct from
Spain to the United States, France,
and elsewhere. These oils are pro-
duced especially in the regions of Mur-
cia and Malaga, where many medical
herbs are grown for domestic con-
sumption and export. As compare
lively little use is made in Spain OF
several oils derived from the plants
mentioned and other oil-producing
herbs, the local market is limited; but
the industry may be developed indeh-
nltely in view of the favorable ell
matte conditions of those sections OF
Spain where the plants flourish. In
1916 the declared exports Of essential
oils from Malaga to the United States
were valued at $1T6,164; those from
Almeria, at S21,920; and those from
Barcelona, at S13,220.

| you'll ride Blue" Billy Louise told
him calmly. I'm going to ride Rather
myself"
"Yes. you are-not"
"Do you mean TO say can't? DO
you think"
"Oh, guess you can, all right, but"
"Well, II ! can, I'm going to. II you
think can't handle a mcasly old skate
like that"
Hes been running out for nearly
two months, WllhemIna-"
"And look al his ribs II you'll Just
kindly go in the house while l sud
die"
"Tll kindly stay right here, lady
girl. You don't know Rather"
"And you don't know Billy Louise
Macdonald" She wrlnkled her nose
at him and turned back to unsaddle
Blue. 81 really didn't intend to go
back right now" she said, "but seeing
you've got your heart set on 1t, sup
pose we might as we'll" Then she
added: "We're only going as far as
the Cove, anyway; and | really ought
TO hurry back to look after Aiarthy.
Charlie Fox and Peter pulled out and
left her there all solitary alone. I've
been staying with her overnight. l
told her we'd be down there, and stay
till-further notice."
Billy Louise did not give Ward much
opportunity for argument. He was too
awkward with his crutches to keep up
with her, and she managed to be on
the move most of the time.
When she had helped Ward upon
BlUe-and that was not easy, either,
considering that he only had one leg
fit TO stand On-and had gone to the
cabin for her bag of nuggets and
Wards roll of money which he had for
gotten, and had exhausted every other
excuse for delay, she picked up Rat
tiers reins and wound her fingers in
his name, and took hold of the Stirrup
as nOnchalantly as If she were mount
ing Blue.
"NOw we're all right and comfy" she
announced breathlessly, when the first
fight was over and RATHER. like his
master, had yielded TO the inevitable.

Very LARGE MoY Family.

Moy Hee, proprietor of chop suey
restaurant in ST., Paul, recently re-
turned from seven months sojourn
in China, relates an exchange, where
he visited his aged mother and 275,0O0
relatives, all members Of the great
Moy family, at Sun Ming in the prov
ince of Canton. While he was there
Moy's son was married and Moy en-
tertained 235 guests at big hotel
there for three days, spending $4,000
for entertainment. From inquiries
made at Sun Ming, MOy learned that
his 275,000 relatives were not prop
erly provided with educational facili-
ties. While many Of them were
wealthy, large number could not af
ford the $12 year a child for educa-
ton. Moy has undertaken to raise
the sum of 100000 to build schools
and employ teachers in that vicinity.
He collected some Of the fund from
rich Chinese members of the Moy fam
lily, and Moy Back Hin, Chinese consul
at Portland, Ore, contributed $4,000
to the fund.

Compressed Air Clears Sewer Pipes.

Bradford, England, has a sewer five
miles long with drop Of 20 feet in
distance. The grade is not uniform.
AS the sewage is loaded with heavy,
solid matter, the flow was not what
it should have been. The city did not
want to resort to pumping because Of
the expense. One of the city en-
gineers hit upon the idea of using COM
pressed air at a pressure of so pounds
and discharging it at regular inter
walls into the sewer. The plan was car
ried out with great success. 1t has
been done for some time now with
out a recurrence of the difficulty.

PIayind the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing in the strenuous game Of life
as it is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that is in us must be given to
carry on" and the race run with
steadfastness and manly purpose.
AS Robert L. Stevenson so beautifully
puts it: "Whether we regard life as a
line leading to a dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think of it as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether we thun-
der in pulpit or pule in little esthetic
poetry books about its vanity and brew
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigOr, or are about to
mount into bath chair, as a step to-
wards the hearse; in each and all Of
these views and situations there is but
one conclusion possible; that a man
should stop his ears against paraly-
sing terror and run the race that is
set before him with single mind"

Norfolk Bids Fair to Break all Rec
ords at Her Present Rate
Of Progress.

There is not a city in this country,
perhaps none in the world, that is
growing at a more rapid rate than Nor
folk" remarked G. w. Sizer, manager
of one of the leading hotels of that
city, at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. "The last census gave
the population of Norfolk at less than
10000. Today it is estimated that Nor
folk is a city of 100000, or more than
double the size it was in 1910. Wash
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last two or
three years. l take considerable pride
In the growth of Washington, for |
lived here many years, but the pro-
portionate increase in the population
of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk. OF course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, 1 presume, is the busiest
city in the world, but Norfolk is al
most next.
Hampton Roads is filed with ships.
Battleshlps are passing in and out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences of Norfolk. Only recently
saw some 1000 soldiers from New Zea-
land parading through the streets of
Norfolk. Many of them were not
Young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men to the front In
France. and Belgium, out Of a popu-
lation of 100000 and Is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to us,
"Buslness Is booming In Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filled to
