That most Michigan farmers. in
certain sections OF the state at least,
own their own automobiles is shown
by the report OF farm census in
Washtenaw county. which was issued
recently by the extension division OF
the Michigan Agricultural College.
Automobiles are owned on 1887 Of
the 1853 farms covered In the coun-
ty canvas. or by practically three
fourths OF the farmers.
These figures come ss a distinct
shock to those who have imagined that
the cities own q corner on the auto
mobile game. for II seems that their
rural neighbour do a full share OF rid
Ing these days.
On these 1853 farms. 81 trucks and
SO tractors are owned. Most OF the
farmers are shown to own their own
land. although there are 256 share
choppers. 20 cash renters. and 30 paid

Some time ago the executive COM
mittee OF the Michigan State Grange
was called TO . meeting at Lansing,
mainly for the purpose OF meeting
with Dorr b. Buell.. manager OF the
Michigan Potato Growers Exchange,
and learning from him about the plan
OF organization and method OF pro-
cedure used In the work.
Mr.. Buell. gave q rather detailed ac-
count OF the beginning and growth OF
the exchange which ia now composed
G. about one hundred local branches
with nine thousand or more farmer
members. He showed how. through
doing their own marketing coopera.
lively. the farmer members during the
last season obtained an increase iu
net returns OF : &c a hundred on
their potatoes. Following this meet
ing committee OF which Mr.. A. w.
Thompson. OF Vulcan. was q member.
went to Cadillac TO see. at first hand
more about the exchange. They talk
cd with bankers there and were told
tat the exchange is on q very sound
financial basis and that the men who
have been elected by the farmers TO
manage the AFFAIRS OF the central Of
nee are straight, sound business men.
Mr.. Thompson reports that they found
me whole organization to be in Al
condition and doing an immense bust
cess and service for its members. AS
the result OF these findings the state
grange endorses marketing work OF
the exchange very highly and has Il.
self taken out a membership In Il. In
addition to this il has sent out letters
to all the local oranges giving a re.
port OF its findings and urging the
support OF their cooperation with the
local branch OF the exchange. This
endorsement by such a large organi-
cation as the state grange is a splen-
did tribute to the fine work which the
Michigan Potato Growers Exchange
is doing.
We are proud 10 have a branch OF

paint hid! No stage actress was 60
ing to be exploited on his fame, no
stree!
Bob LasbroOk was not surprised.
The calm Of the old director had more
to do with Ted's final breaking up Of
temper than anything else. After Ted
had waxed hot, shaken his fist and
resorted to mild profanity old Bob
just shook his head. Ted left that
night for parts unknown. ITO blazes
with my contract" Ted had flung
back at the business manager Of the
company as he sailed through the Of
fee, head held high. marie Sivelle
can star alone. hope her face breaks
the cameraw He closed the door
without noticing that the business
manager had been talking to someone
very small and sweet, someone who
had risen and was blushing profusely.
The temperamental crash, as old
Bob would have called it, had a firm
grip on Ted for three days. At the
end of the third day he began to think
reasonably. It all came from not TAX
ing a vacation for so long, he told him
self. The country was the place for
him-the country he had left SO few
years before. How changed it would
be now.
But the country was not much
changed, he found. There was a feel
ing of qualification in bringing his
roadster to halt in front of the little
schoolhouse where he had learned his
A b Cs. That sentiment was not the
one that had brought him there first,
though. The pleasant memory of the
little teacher who had taught there
the last year he had been in the VIII
lage had never really left him., but now
it had come back with great force. He
had thought then that their friendship
would have developed to something
more than memories, but for some un-
explained reason it hadn't. It was all
his fault, the fault of his success, he
told himself reproachfully. Would
she remember? Would she look the
same?
Wonder of wonders, she had not
changed a bit. The school door had
opened and she was coming down the
'+h to the road. Ted was out Of the
car and running down the path to meet
her. Did she remember? The glad it,
tie cry of recognition and the eyes FL
led with tears of Joy said more than
all the words in the world. He almost
had her in his arms when he remem-
bered.
It was a wonderful week that fol-
lowed. Just the sort Of week that was
needed to restore Ted's nerves. With
the return Of all his practical judg-
ment, Ted began to analyze his feel
] ings. He loved this little teacher, this
Mora Givens. She was the sweetest
little woman IN the World and be was

going to make her his wife, he told
himself.
Just as he had made drm this re-
solve bomb was hurled onto his
plans.
II felt sure that some day you would
come back successful business
man. l knew you would lose all those
foolish old ideas about the stage and
art and such like" Nora told him AZ
they drove along a particularly inv1t-
ing stretch of country road.
"Would it make any difference If I
still had those ideas-couldn't you
love me?' he asked her as he nerv-
,ously reached out for her hand.
1T wouldn't be practical to love .
man with unsettled ideas, like your
,old ones" she answered, withdrawing
her hand from reach.
II understand" Ted mumbled. That
settled 1t in his mind. Nora shared the
marrow thoughts Of many other coun-
try people-stage and movie folk were
.all bad in her estimation could
not realize that some Of the finest men
and women in the world were engag-
ed in the theatrical profession.
What did It matter after that7
There was only one place where Ted
belonged and he went back to it-back
ito the Merlight studio. Let them
bring on their cO-stars, let them ex-
plot has-beens under his fame. What
did it matter? What did fame or sue
cess mean when the woman he loved
could never be his?
Bob Leonard could not understand
this morbid change in Ted. Tempera-
mental attacks did not usually leave
fafter- effects like that. He wondered,
too, when Ted raised no further OBJ
:jections to Marie Sivelle. Perhaps
when he met that young lady change
;wOuld come over him.
!; A change? Well. perhaps! The mo-
,ment Ted looked up languidly to ac-
knowledge the introduction to the ac-
;tress who was to share hOnors with
him in the forthcoming production,
the change was effected.
"Nora!' he gasped, "what are you
doing here?"
Certainly 1t was Nora. She was
ismiling out an explanation. II am
Marie Sivelle. I became famous on
the stage because that was my ambi-
'tion-and came here to co-star with
you because knew who you were and
I wanted to be near you. l was in the

let me?" There was real pleading In
her request.
LET your Why, dear heart, you
must be my leading lady for life. I
want you always" he cried joyfully.
as he gathered her up in his arms.
"When they fall. they fall hard" old
Bob Leonard mumbled to himself, and
old Bob was an authority on such
things.
