Fencing.

Strangers who pass through a
rural and stock raising neiehbor-
hood form some impression from
the condition of the fences. Proba-
bly, the man who maintains them
in good order can get higher prices
because he creates the impression
that his production methods are
good.
Wood is scarce and wire, con-
crete and steel are high. The fence
proposition is costly. But cheap
and poorly built and set posts are
most costly in the long run. A
good set of fencing adds to the per.
manent value of the farm, and any
bank would lend more money on a
property thus improved.

Tanks to Border

Forty.eight one-man armored
tanks of the Whippet type have
been shipped from the army re.
serve depot at East Columbus to
army posts near the Mexican border
during the last two days.
Half of the shipment went to Ell
Paso, the other half to San Antonio.
Officers profess to see no connec-
ton between acquisitions of the
tanks and the recent announcement
that the United States Mexican
policy may be changed.
The Whippet tanks are so small
they can be transported on trucks.

into doing a thing foolish on itsface,
Paris people raised nearly $1,000
for Evangelist Hawkins. and in ad-
dition contributed $572 to defray
the incidental expenses of the three

great deal of good. there is no de

Race Suicide

Champ Clark is drifting. with his
years, into the stage where his
moralizing and his philosophers vie
with Raphael who painted wisdom.
Handel who sung it, and Phidias
who carved it. The veteran ex-
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, says that in forty three years
the population Of France increased
by a scant million, and that in the
same period Germany increased
twenty-six millions. In two or three
States. of the American Union the
death rate about equals the birth
rate. says Mr.. Clark, who concludes:
$50 it seems that whenever the con.
ditions of living grow hard difficult.
a great many people undertake to
remedy the condition by race
suicide"
Mr.. Clark is not as handy with "a
remedy" as is Lawson of Boston. in
his affairs-and maybe that is one
reason why he is more dependable
than the frenzied financier. But he
turns to a source of relief. And in
making America better. and in re-
ducing the percentage of race suicide.
he would apply education as a cure:
trusting to it to work out results. be-
fore the human race becomes ex-
tinct.

Life of Machinery

1t has been estimated that the
average life of farm machinery is
only ten years. If this is fair es-
innate. it shows one reason for the
high cost of food production. The
average life of machine in a fac
tory, protected from weather and
carefully cleaned and repaired by
skilled mechanics. is probably a
good deal more than 10 years.
The efficient farmer will not leave
his machinery out in the weather
and he will acquire skill in its care
so it will not deterioate.
But some of the town people who
make fun of the farmers careless.
ness, will leave their own lawn
mowers out on the lawn to gather
rust.

Americanization

The great mass of non.Euglish
speaking aliens in this country is
not merely a national peril, but III
retards national efficiency. The
basic necessities of life are scarce
and high priced. Intelligent labor
is necessary to produce them in
greater quantities Workers who
can't speak English can not be
trained to efficiency
The first step to increase prO1uc-
ton is to make the workers more
productive. The alien workers can
not attain that higher level until
they can understand the directions
that are given to them, and talk a.
bout their work with their bosses
and shopmates. Therefore Amer
icanization Is not merely good
patriotism, but it is good business
The peril of a great mass of nom
English speaking workers was made
obvious during the war The great
majority of these people would have
been American in their sympathies.
but as whole they could not be
reached. Their sentiment could not
be unified.
Consider their position. Their
life here is one long story of bewil-
derment. They can't read Amer
lean papers. cant even read signs
on the street. They can't get in
formation from any native, can't
understand what the policeman says
when he orders them around. They
can't grasp the instruction the fore
man gives them in a factory. Is it
any wonder that they become dis
Outraged? Is it surprising that
they believe the lying bolshevist
orator who addresses them in their
own loved tongue. and tells them
that America is fake. a country
owned by the rich, in which the
poor are exploited and crushed?
| These are the conditions which
the new AUGMENTATION movement
is aimed to relieve.

Two Spots

The cattle shows are certainly
educational to the people who lose
their money on horse trots.
The city people who come out to
the fairs to make fun of the coun-
try folks, usually walk up to the
prize bull and comment on the
appearance of that big COW.
The farmers who can't find time
to fix up their places and make
them look pretty and stylish are
usually the same ones who wonder
how their neighbors attract so much
more attention and do a better bus
inness. ..... ,..-..

Early the following afternoon
Delacour decided to cali at Bel
grave square on the chance Of see
ing Norah ,eas It was impossible to
tell her all that had happened By
letter, and she would naturally be
expecting to see or hear from him.

Delacour's condolences, even If he
did not understand them. He saw
that he was not quite himself to-
night and that he was saying more
than he really intended.
"I am boring you. You have no
desire to profit by my advice and
experience. What a pity youth
cannot realize that if it had the
knowledge Of age it would be alb
solutely invincible. There is moth
ing it might not do. / could give
you a few hints that might be Of

Il do not question your superior
knowledge and experience" Archie
said, stiffly.
"But 1 can keep them to myself"
with laugh. 81 understand. At
the same time / am sorry" he add
ed, speaking with an engaging
frankness. why should we be

Archie flushed hotly.

sky, though it was freezing hard
when he met Felicity, accompanied
by her duenna, Miss Goodge.
"We are going to skate, OF, at
least, I am going on the ice, and
Miss Goodge will do all the chaper-
oning she can manage from the
bank" she said, laughing gayIy, as
she dangled a shining pair Of
skates before his eyes. Bought
this morning. AS they advertised
in the papers that the lake at VIM
bledOn was fit for use, 1 said it
was absurd to be suspicious Of the
poor old Serpentine."
Il am afraid you will find it
rather crowded. You hardly ought
to go on alone"
Don't be tiresome; that is what
Norah said. l had the greatest diff
fcuIty in persuading her to let me
go, but she had an engagement and
couldn't come with me herself. Be-
sides, l have haven of refuge in
Miss sGoodge. At the first sign Of
danger shall fly to her for safety.
You will protect me, won't you,
Goodgy, dear?"
81 will do my best" replied that
lady, dOubtfully, while Delacour
smiled, involuntarily. It certainly
seemed a little absurd to think of
that small, rotund person protect
ing the tall, fearless girl.
Has Lady Estcourt gone out,
them" he said. 81 was thinking of
calling on her."
"She will be gone before you can
get there aud she won't be home

you shall pay for this" the man
replied, vihdictively, as he picked
himself up. "You shall live to be
sorry for this nights work." and
he turned a white, malignant face
on Delacour as he went slowly
down the stairs.
Delacour laughed mockingly, and
was going back to his room when
Archie came forward.
Il beg your pardon" he said, un-
comfortably. 'I came up a minute
ago and was just going to ask to
see you when-when"-
when you saw me throw that
scoundrel out" Delacour said, still
flushed and angry. Z am sorry you
should have met with such an
unpleasant reception. Come inside
and let me explain"
81 need not keep you a moment.
l have a letter from Lady Estcourt,
which she asked me to give into
your hands myself" and he held
it,out.

"Englishmen? I am outside the
pale, then? You will not acknoWls
edge me as fellow-citizen. Per-
haps it is pity to have the blood

cannot belong entirely to either"
Goodnight, Mr.. Delacour," Ar
chic said, holding out his hand.
Goodnight. l am sorry can't
wish you good luck, for l think you
deserve it, but, you see, Though
less deserving it more. Such
a thing to a boy like you is but
one Joy among many; to me, a man
near the end of his best years, it is
fresh life! fresh hope! fresh youth!
1t is happiness come back"
They stood looking at each other
a moment, the novice and the fin.
ished man of the world; then they
parted without another word.
For Lady Estcourt Paul Della
cour's feeling had been little more
than fiattered vanity and the
transient infatuation Of an idle man
for a beautiful woman. For Felic-
ity it was love-deep and pure,
such as even bad man may feel.
Coming late in life, it gripped him
by every fibre of his being, and he
would have fought for it to the
death.
miss Lethbridge did not guess
what much stronger reasons I have
to keep silence than to speak," he
thought. even if I could have
thrown the last shred Of honor to
the winds and told her the truth l
could not risk the loss of Felicity.
It would be an impossible story to
tell her; she would be revoIted.

whiskey and soda? 1 feel I want
one after my tussle," and he
laughed. Il am a little out of train
ing and was foolish enough to
lose my temper. That takes it out
Of you more than anything else"
Archie noticed that his hand
shook as he poured some whiskey
into the glasses, and that his dark
eyes glowed unnaturally large and
brilliant in his white face. It was
evident that something had upset
him considerably, and he wondered
a little curiously What it could have
been.
when you have knocked about
the world as much as l have" Del
acour said, speaking with some ex-
citement, you will know what a

all the shabby scoundrels there is
none more despicable than the man
who trades on the follies and vices
of others, who waits patiently
month after month till the moment
Of weakness comes, and then steps
in with his temptation"
Archie gave some vague reply.
He did not understand in the least
what Delacour was talking about.
"But such snakes in the grass are
dangerous. / ought to have killed
him"-his eyes fashing-"or let
him alone. You should take no half
measures with such vermin."
