Upon the women and girls, and boys too in the homes of America rests the large and important re- sponibilitY of making sure that the surplus of vegetables, berries. and fruits grown this year is not wasted even in part.
 It will be a patriotic servics to can, dry or otherwise conserve the large sur plus of vegetables expected from the eX traordinary efforts everywhere in America 10 increase production.
 In every community in the country food is being produced in back yards and vacant lots that never before were used for this purpose. Last year, ac- cording to the United States Secretary of Agriculture, the home garden move ment was estimated to have stimulated the planting of from two hundred to three hundred per cent. more gardens than ever before had produced food in the United States. This year it is expected, even last years record will be surpassed. Every family with available ground has been urged to plant and cultivate a home garden Eat all the vegetables and fruit you need, use them to the utmost to les
 sen your demand for otherwise con serve all the surplus.
 By conserving the surplus the home women and girls in the country and in the cities and towns will be doing their part to lessen the national de- mand for wheat and meat and the other foods that are needed in increas- ing quantities by our armies and the Allies.

TOPPING OUT THE CLOVER
 STACK.


 The top is the vulnerable part of any hay stack. particularly of clover or alfalfa. Unless this part of the stack is properly constructed and pro tected the rains find an easy inlet and much of the stack will be spoiled
 Due care should be taken that the top is not too flat, and that a cover ing be provided that turns water easily.
 To secure the first condition hay should continue to be added until the center of the stack is full and com pact.
 To secure the second finish out the stack with some long straight grass such as timothy or bluegrass. If ap- piled in layers that droop down the sides the water will run off as fast as it falls and the interior of the stack will keep perfectly dry.

CONSERVE SURPLUS FOOD.

Increased planting of vegetables this year almost certainly will mean an unprecedented yield of Fresh vegetables in the spring and summer.
 This will mean plentiful supplies for summer tables and a large surplus.
 This surplus, to be- useful to America, must be conserved.
 It must be canned, dried brined. or stored in the homes of America.
 Home conserved food means tha& the home will be more nearly self sustaining and that the burden on transportation will be frightened.

CHAPTER AhSlA-
Copyright. 1918, Star Company
NV, ITH a dazed. dizzy sensa-
NJ ton, John Butler sat down
w again and tried to assimi-
late the facts that had
just come to him.
OF one thing he was sure. Lizzie
Moore's picture had been on Dr..
Wade's desk that evening last
spring. And it had been the only
photograph in the entire office.
Then she must be of enough i'm
portance in the physicians life for
him TO wish to have her face al
ways before him.
Now Johp Butler understood the
sensation OF discomfort that had
accompanied his recognition of the
girls resemblance to some one whom
he thought he had met. 1t was be-
cause, at the time he had studied the
picture. he had BEEN so acutely mis-
cradle himself. The likeness and
his mood were associated in his in
ner consciousness.
Well, that was explained But
there were many other Incompetent
sible things facing him.
OF course Douglas Wade had a
right to this picture. But the origi-
nal had not intimated that she had
seen Wade of late years, or had had
any communication with him When
she was a little girl she had known
him, she said. Why had she not
acknowledged that she knew him
now?
Butler arrived at the conclusion
he had almost reached on the day
on which he had spoken to Eliza
beth OF Wade's attentions to his sis
ter, Alicia. This conclusion was
that the girl he admired must be
fond OF the young physician.
II not, she would not have been
startled by the information impart-
ed to her. Nor would she have al
lowed Wade to have a large picture
of her upon his desk. And, clearest
evidence Of all. she would not have
hesitated to admit that she and
Wade were on terms of intimate
friendship.
Just for a moment Clifford's vile
suggestions came to John Buffers
mind, but, as usual. he banished
them as unbelievable. The girl
might care for Douglas Wade. She
might even be engaged to him. But
whatever she did was honorable and
right

For. of course, property out here Is

roadSruns nearer than IL does now.
