caring us all for spite? What else
is it but cheap, nasty spite?"
"It's a great deal more than Spite"
Bayard groaned. do you think I'll
accept favors from a man who has
been counting you and got caught at
| it? I'd rather starveW
swell, I wouldn'tw Leila averred.
"And I'm not going to starve. And
I'm not going to let you commit hari-
kari on Wetherells doorstep just to
spite him. l tell you again, once for
all, there was nothing wrong in Weth-
erells behavior, absolutely nothing.
It's outrageous that you should accuse
me Of such horrible things"
So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. 1t was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
tolerable reconciliation.
"Well," Bayard sighed, "beggars
can't be choosers. If I'd saved my
money shouldn't have to take Weth-
erells money"
Bayard called up the president Of
his company at the office. His Grafton
made a huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators, and finally to share In the
apparent rapture Of his distant ear
to-ear.
The end of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was q
new man. He had cunningly raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the name Of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as a lever for his
own advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
meal for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music Of Bayard and
Clay chanting In hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars Daphne stole out un-
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. Chivvis was sitting by a win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv.
Wis was stitching away at her en-
broidery. She was cheerful-for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage TO say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there is no more exhausting drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news It Is more
fatiguing than bad. She was sur
prised and shocked, too, to find how
snobbish she was all Of a sudden
about the petty earnings Of a Chivvis.

CONSTRUCTION OF HEN HOUSE
More Fowls Can Be Kept on Small
Floor Area Under Colony Than
on Intensive System.

A house constructed for the conven-
fence of the attendant will have
enough cubic air space provided 2 to 3.
square feet of floor space is allowed
per fowl. Fresh air should be Sc
cured by ventilation rather than by
furnishing a larger amount of cubic
air space than is required for the con-
venlence of the attendant. The neces-
sary amount of floor space depends
upon the system, on the size of the
pens, the weather conditions, and the
size of the birds. More birds can be
kept on a small floor area under the
colony than on the intensive system,
where the colony system is used in
mild climate and the hens have free
range throughout most of the year.
Colony houses holding from 80 to 70
hens are about as large as can be

Finally Daphne, claiming the ma.

the amendment that miss Kip"

hen receives less attention.

 Subsequently. the industry was moved to Cleveland, where it grew rapidly, and is today conducted on a gigantic scale. With the Eaton Axle company here, Cleveland win be supplying the bulk of axles to the automobile industry. The products of the new company will be based on new inventions by Mir. Torben- sen which eliminate. it is declared, the outstanding objections to pleasure car and truck axles of the past.
 The Eaton company, according to Mr. Eaton, will manufacture two distinct types of axIe-a conventional passenger car axle of bevelled scar drive type and a truck axle of internal gear type, with all gears operating in oil. These s60n will be featured in a national advertising campaign.
 During the first year of operation the new company will produce 200 sets of pas senger car ankles and 100 sets of tIIck axles per day. Contracts for the first years product have been made As rap idly as possible the plant will be en- larged.
 The new company in locating in Cleve- land. becomes one of more than score of concerns manufacturing weil-known cars and trucks and accessories. Aueo- mobile men see its establishment here as an important link in Cleveland's steady endeavor to wrest the leadership in au- tomobile manufacture from Detroit. This is also the view of Mayor Harry L. Davis of Cleveland.

WITHDRAW OPTIONS

Suits Entered Against Two Clinton
Citizens Who Refuse to Execute OPP
tl0ns alleged to Bind Them to the
Sale of Land for States Home for
Feeble Minded.
In order to facilitate the erection of
the buildings for the Home for the
Feeble Minded, near Clinton, as pro-
vided for by the legislature, suits were
begun yesterday by A. G. Todd, Esq,
and III. S. Blackwll, Esq, against John
II. Pitts and Harrison Copeland, of
Clinton, to force execution of the OPP
tiOns which these men were alleged
to have given some time ago when
clinton citizens organized to locate
the institution there. The suits are
expected to bring to 4 head the ncgo-
tiations which have been going on for
somo time looking toward the settle
mcnt OF these cases.
1t will be remembered that citizens
Of Clinton subscribed about $4,000
last year with which to purchase sew
eral adjoining tracts Of land about two
miles below Clinton and proffcrcd this
land, after options had been secured
on 1t, to the State Board Of Charities
and Corrections for the States Home
for the Feeble Minded The offer OF
the Clinton citizens was accepted and
several weeks ago contracts were let
to G. l.. Rounds & Company for the
erection Of the first buildings. the sum
of about $4,000 being involved in the
initial contract. few months ago
Messrs. Pitts and Copeland significd
their unwillingncss to allow the op-
tiOns to be executed and it is under
stood that their action has held up
the plans Of the Board. No satisfac-
tory settlement having been made Of
the case, the Attorney General in
structed the Mcssrs. Todd and Black
we'll to enter suit to force their exc
cution. How long it will take 20
bring the matter to an end is not
known, but for the present plans for
the buildings are being held up.
Parious people in touch with the
movement to provide home for the
feeble minded Of the state believe that
the plant to be begun at Clinton, will
ultimately be one Of the largest in
stitutions under the care Of the state
as an intensive campaign is to be car
ried on to alleviate the condition Of
this class OF the states population
Already about $900 has been appro-
priated for the institution and much
more will probably he added as the
needs require. However. the present
suits are holding up the entire plan.

Columbia, July 24-One year and

Guard have been authorized by the
war department, under an act OF Con-
grcss Of the 18th of this month, and
advices to this effect have been re-
ceivcd by Adjutant General w. w.
Moore and made public today. This
Is tho enlistment plan advocted sever
al weeks ago by Governor Cooper and
Adputant General Moore, when they
wired the wor department asking for
authority to enlist men for one year.
The aim Of the governor and the ad-
jutant general was to secure men for
the National Guard who would not en-
list for a three-year period. The
oncyear enlistment plan will make
much easier the recruiting Of the en-
lorgcd National Guard. which will be
begun in this state at an early date.
The advices received by the adju-
tant general are from the Major Gen
eral J. Mel. Carter, chief Of the mill
:ary bureau in Washington. The
general makes public, as advance in
formation, certain paragraphs from
the New Nationa Guard regulations.
General Carter's;letter says in part:
"Thosc mon who served as enlisted
men in the United States army, or in
the organized militia Of the several
states or the District Of Columbia,
since April 6. 1917. and have been hon
orably discharged may, within six
months after July /, 1919. or if dis
charged subscqucn.iy to July II, 1919,
within six months after such dis
charges, enlist in the National Guard
for q period Of one year and may re-
enlist for like periods.
"All other qualified men shall be
enlisted for a period Of one year, or
organization the proportion OF one
for a period Of three years. In each
to two, and in determining this pro-
portion all CnlistmcntS made under
(a) will be included. This proportion
Of one to two applies only to enlist
mcnts. The requirements OF law are
met if cnlistmcnts in each organiZa-
ton are maintained in the proper ra-
ito, regardless OF subsequent changes.
