see the rest of the crop coming
into this market very rapidly.

For the second time since the
American troops entered the
front lines in France their posi-
ton has been raided by the Ger
mans.
After a violent artillery BAR
rage and during a heavy fog the
enemy attacded ar American
position on an unnamed sector of
the French front Wednesday
morning. Two Americans were
killed, four wounded and one is
reported missing. 1t is belived
that the missing soldier is a Ger
man prisoner.
On the sector which was raid
ed have occurred the casualties
sent out from Washington DUR
ing the past few days. For mill
tary reasons it was considered
inadvisable to send earlier re-
ports. Most Of the deaths and
most of the wounds were caused
by shrapnel.
American cannon and machine
guns have replied to the Ger
mans and it is believed their
casualties equal or exceed those
among Gen. Pershing' stroops.
In the first raid, on November 3
the American losses were three
killed, five wounded and twelve
made prisoner by the enemy.

it pays the farmer to bring his

earth that the seller would be

"AlI About What?" "PleaSc believe father. that I've wanted to comc." l said penitently. "Somc day I'll tell you why I haven't been here before"
 My father looked at mo shrewdly, and while there was a ghost of a twinkle in his eye, yet there was also a shadow as of sadness.
 "Perhaps I'm not as blind as you think, daughter" he said quietly, and the words made me flush unaccount- ably. My father, with his courtly old school courtesy ignored the flush and busted himself with drawing an easy chair up before the fire, and sum moned the Japanese servant, to whom he gave a low-toned order for "tea and cakes"
 "And now, toll me all about it, child" ho said kindly, when, after a few minutes desultory conversation, the servant had reappeared with steanling tea and little cakes, to which after his dismissal, we were doing full justice.
 raised startled eyes to his face.
 "All about what" I parried.
 The purpose of your coming over today" he returned soberly. Don't feel unhappy because I've divined that you must have had a special reason for coming or you wouldn't be here. That's what fathers are for, to under stand things before they have to be told So just unburden your heart, little girl. and see if your father can not straighten things out for you."
 His wonderful tenderness seemed to wrap me round as with warm cloak. I felt my worries slipping from my shoulders, and l raised my eyes to his face without a trace of the embar- rassment I had anticipated in the tell ing of my story.
 "1t's a tale quickly told, father,' I said with the comforting remem- brance of the competence my father possessed Not wanting to bother Dicky with financial matters I have used up all my own money, including the sum you left for me when you went away, and now find that Dicky has spent all his, and"
 My father sprang to his feet, on his face look of horror out of all keep ing, it seemed to me, with the news I had told him.
 You mean that you're in need Of money, child, and you want me to help you out?"
 And then, under his breath, he ut tered name which he thought l did not hear, but which my fear sharpen ed ears caught distinctly. It was a sacred name and his manner of utter ing 1t WAS a desperate appeal for 1 help!

Why Is MadGc's Father So Mortified at the News of His Daughters
 NCCHo

Days of forced checrfulnesS, nights of restless tossing and worrying this was my life in the week following my mother-in-Iaw's revelation of the secret hidden in Dicky's personal cheCkboOk.
 Dicky, himself, evidently ashamed of his Outburst Of temper, yet resent full of what he still believed to be my spying upon him, was coldly imper- sonal in his manner toward me, never remaining a moment in my vicinity if he could help it. Not even to see the baby did he devatc from this rule, but l knew that whenever I was absent from our little sons crbside DiCky was sure to seize the Opportunity to make d surrcptitious visit to him.
 How to get the money to settle our ndebtedness--that was the question which pursued me constantly. My first thought had been to consult Lillian, but knew that if I did so she would insist upon stepping into the breach herself and that I couldn't permit. So I was denied the inestimable benefit of her wise and tender counsel
 Of course my father was the logical person to whom l should apply, but he had been for so comparatively short a time known to me as a father that I felt a curious shrinking in asking him for money. It was almost like borrowing money of some family friend or distant relative.
 Opening the Way.
 But as the days rolled on and the inevitable day Of reckoning of our debts came nearer l saw clearly that an appeal to my father was my only hope And so one day I slipped across the lawn dividing our home from Mrs Durl1ee's, which was still leased to my father.
 A Japanese servant-real this time, but always bringing back memories of the spying Kato--admitted me and conducted me to the library where my father, in heavy dressing gown and slippers sat huddled over the fire.
 Well, little daughter!" My father rarely calls me by my name, using generally some affectionate dimtnu- tive. "Ivo been wondering when you were going to honor your aged parent with a visit. You haven't been over here since the baby came, and ha surely isn't so badly behaved young ster that he takes all your time."
 There was distinct reproach under lying the raillery and 1 felt an added distaste for my errand. It was true that I hadn't been to see him since the baby's birth. I had tried to per- suade myself that it was because of my complex duties as mother and nurse, but I knew better. I could have made the visit easily were it not for one reason. which was re-
