A BRAND NEW PROFESSION.
Farm Mechanics Profitable and Attrac-
tive Vocation for War Disabled Men.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. I2.--In other
days a farm mechanic" was usually a
chap who could solder up the hole in a
milk bucket, repair the pump or paint
the wagon, or tinker with the clock. To
day the term means that he is highly
skilled artisan, employed as such by
larger farms. In the pIowing season he
is tractor operator, engineer OF the mo
tive machinery which pulls the gang
plows, hs-rows and. seeders, doing the
work at one eat of half a dozen pillow
teams and men.
He is engineer and superintendent Of
the reaping and threshng in their sea,
son. He superrises and operates the
cutting of silage and filling of silos. He
takes care Of the dairy machinery or the
electric light plant OF the farm. He
looks after the upkeep of the ANTONIO
/ biles and trucks of the establishment.
Such are in general the duties of the
farm MECHANIC for which disabled sol
diers are being re.educated by the Unit
ed States government through the fed

Menace to Sheep Industry Must Be Re-

he retarded as long as effective wolf
determination is neglected, according to
advocates of the Delury emergency wolf
bounty appropriation bill in the legisla-
ture.
Development of the sheep industry is
essential to the development of the north
country, they assert, and the sheep in
dustry can make no progress so long as
a menace exists in great packs of ma
rauding wolves,
Commenting on the possibilities OF
sheep raising Representative DeLury of
Walker asserted that in one instance a
flock of forty paid for itself the first
season, without taking into consideration
the value Of land clearing and fertili.
cation.
But TO accomplish this, adequate pro
lection from wolves was afforded by 49,
inch woven wire fencing and alert man
and dog patroIling, which is too great a
problem for the average settler
The sum of 100000 paid out in wolf
bounties would mean the actual exter-
mination of 1000 wolves, Mr.. DeLury
contends. 1t is fair to assume that of
this number, at least one-haIf would be
females, whose unborn progeny likely
would number 10000 more within three
months.
The sheep industry must be given en-
enlargement if the North woods country
is to develop in proportion to the rest Of
the state, advocates of the measure as
sert, and the wolf is the one obstacle
that is too great for the average settler
to overcome.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

TRULY LOVED"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY AGNES G. RRoGhN.



Long years ago, Gloria lived in a
very big house, with imposing grounds
all round. Her every within had been
gratified, like the whims of a princess
in q fairy tale. Not unlike a princess
was Gloria in her pretty imperious-
ness. Perhaps. if her mother had lived
the little girl might have had some
realization of life outside her castle
walls. As ii was, an indulgent buSily
absorbed father, saw that nothing was
lacking for her advantage and welfare.
Gloria danced her mornings away
among the flowers, bought all the pref
~ things in town which might take
her fancy, made here and there a
friend, and knew no responsibility, so
1t was not strange, therefore, that the
child who had so readily obtained
each coveted toy, should turn from
them all to seek the unattainable,
To Gloria In her fresh young wom-
anhOod, the unattainable, meant rO-
nance. Here alone her absorbed faith
er enforced discipline. She must learn
naught of love or lovers until calm
reason came to her. Love, in the eyes
Of Gloria's father was a youthful mad
ness which In passing often left sor-
row. Wisdom of choice, was In his
opinion, the true foundation for mar
riage. So possible admirers among
the young men OF his daughters ac-
quaintance, were made aware of their
lack Of welcome in his home.
Looking up one day into the face of
her singing teacher, Gloria realized
that here was a young man at her
side, humble indeed, but tall and good
to look upon. So Gloria smiled, and the
singing teachers voice trembled on
high note. After that, romance IN
folded quickly.
The girl in her farthest imagining
had not been able TO believe that love
could come so quickly. Yet, here it
was, love In the heart of the young
music teacher, openly patent even to
her inexperience.
His eager eyes would seek her out
upon the long piano bench, before he
had entered the room. Big and alto
gether strong as John Harmon was. he
would pause all of once tremblinely
abashed in the girls presence.
And Gloria laughing her silvery
laugh rejoiced in her quickly learned
conquest.
And then came the serious awaken
ing of John Harmon's proposal. Gloria
had never dreamed that he would dare
ask her to marry him. That was pre-
sumption beyond possibility. She,
heiress to her fathers wealth. an ac-
knowledged princess in power to her
townspeople: he--a music teacher
hired at so much per hour.
Glorla's heart pounded angrily as
she refused him. Or was this strange
pain all anger? she wondered. as John
Harmon, white-faced, turned to her
and made his only response In song.
Bitterness seemed to have no place in
her lovers heart; earnestly grave, his
eyes held hers.
The heart that hath truly loved
Never forgets,
he sang,
Doe

he sang
But as truly loves on
TO its close

Gloria tried to Danish the haunting
sweetness Of that voice-but it was
with her still through all those years
that had passed.
During these years, fortune had
ruthlessly turned It's great wheel. Lit
tie Gloria, trained for the luxurious
in life, was forced abruptly to go out
into the world. dethroned princess
indeed - seeking her livelihood.
Worse than all, she bore with her the
brand Of shame. For her father, dying
suddenly had been found a great de-
faulter-a defaulter of money placed in
his trust. The sale of his home and
estates was insufficient TO cancel that
Indebtedness. So, bewildered, rejected
Of her supposed friends, Gloria had
made her way since that time, alone.
Her office position sufficed barely to
pay her needs. PainstakingIy she had
made over, one by one, old clothes, for
later requirements, but GlOria's mex
perlence made Of the remodeling little
success.

Gloria sat behind q pillar in the mu-
sic hall. She wanted to conceal among
these gayly dressed people her old
suit When the welcome Of handicap
ping died away she raised her face to
see the singer. Straight over the
heads Of the crowd, John Harmon was
gazing down upon her, In his eyes
she read a light Of sudden joyous dis
covery. He smiled as he acknowledged
the applause, but his smile was for
her. With q warming glow the reali-
zation came to her. Then his glorious

Gloria waited breathlessly.

the singer repeated, 'as truly loves on

Then Gloria held out her hands to
him, and her smile found all its old
radiance.
