A vast Improvement In the way of

it might have been necessary then.
But it appears that not many mem

Another conference was held at the
White House. Good. As these affairs
grow more frequent there will be less
friction between the executive and the
legislative branches. And the people
will reap the reward directly in great

and in our war making.

The farmer is becoming increasingly
important in the war equation and
the eyes OF the world are being turned
upon the farming States of this ma
tion. President wilson's statement to
those who make farming successful
Is therefore a message to those who
must save us this year.

The statement has just been made
on the hill that Tom Watson, OF
Georgia, is responsible for the cleo
ton of Senator Hardwick. This fact.
and the fact that the Senator has
had some responsibilities of his own
for six years past, nearly, are to be
weighed in the coming fall election.

1t would not be right or proper for

sun hanging low, she lost her absolute
certainty Of east and west, north and
south.
She Numbered on, not admitting to
herself the possibility Of being unable
to fiDd Cariboo Meadows. AS best she
could, and to the best of her belief,
she held in straight line for the town.
But she walked far enough 20 have
overrun it, and was yet upon unfamll-
lar ground.
The shadows deepened unit. she
tripped over roots and Stones. and
snagged her hair and clothing on
branches she could not see in time to
fcnd off. AS a last resort, she turned
straight for the light patch still show
ing in the northwest, hoping thus to
cross the wagon road that ran from
Soda Creek to the Meadows-it lay
west, and she had gone northeast from
town. And as she hurried, a fear be-
gan to tug at her that she had passed
the Meadows unknowingly.
Presently 1t was dark, and darkness
in the woods is the darkness of the
pit itself. She found a fallen tree. and
climbed on 1t to rest and think. After
what seemed an age she fancied she
saw CLEAN far distant in the timber.
She watched the spot fixedly. and
thought she saw the faint reflection of
a light. That heartened her. She ad.
vanced toward it, hoping that it might
be the CLEAN of a ranch window. Her
progress was slow. She Numbered
over the litter of forest floor, trip
ping over unseen obstacles. But ten
minutes established beyond peradven-
ture the fact that it was indeed light,
She kept on. The wavering CLEAN
came from behind a thicket-an open
fire, she saw at length. Beyond the
fire she heard horse sneeze. Within
few yards of the thicket through
which wavered the yellow CLEAN she
halted. smitten with sudden panic.
This endured but a few seconds. All
that she knew or had been told of
frontier men treasured her. She had
found them to man courteous, awk-
wardly considerate. And she could not
wander about all night
She moved cautiously, however, to
the edge of the thicket, to point
where she could see the fire. A man
sat bumped over the glowing emhers,
whereon slzzled piece of meat. Ills
head was bent forward. as if he were
listening. Suddenly he looked up, aud
she gasped-for the freight showed
the features of Roaring Bill Wagstaff.
She was afraid Of him. Why, she did
not know nor stop TO reason. She
turned TO retreat, In the same instant
Roaring Bill reached TO his rifle and
stood up.

for attack, shall become German.
'tReadjustments of frontiers, par

according to the military situation
and the appreciation Of the command

their defense is made easier.
THE former German Baltic prov
