establish her courteously in COM
Portable rocker on the "side-lines"
where she could watch the children
dance. They were only children, of
course, and as Ann watched them
she felt suddenly old, Gnutterably
old and settled. Mrs. Carberry,
mother of a pretty girl in red chif-
fon who was flirting eutrageously,
had come to share AIMS duties of
chaperone. and her talk of canning,
sewing and housekeeping, droned on
in AIMS ear like the dirge of youth.
After all she had been foolish TO feel
as young as the pink gown there
was nothing left for her but drab
days, silent and apart
who is that man over there with
my daughter" Mrs. Carberry asked
abruptly. The tail one with the
black hair?''
Il don't know, I'm sure"
Ann cast a disinterested look In
the direction of May Carberry. The
man beside the red chiffon frock
was indeed very tall. he was look
ing down at his diminutive partner
with a look half amused. half bored.
He was not young like the rest OF
them, he might easily have been as
old as Ann herself. Ann looked, and
| figuratlvely speaking, rubbed her
eyes. Where had she seen that man
before? And then it came to her in
Hash of joyous memory. In fact,
II opened the locked door Of the
most treasured memory Of all. Back
in her early school days she had
known that man. He had been a
boy then. with shy brown eyes that
were filled with alteration for her,
/ Ann Douglas. They had walked
| home from school together, coasted
together, rOwed and picniced to-
gether He had taken her to her
very first dance, he had paid the
very first compliment that, brought
a blush to her checks And then,
the years had drifted between, he
had gone away TO college, to a medi-
cal school. letters had grown fewer
and stopped altogether. Would he
remember her? Ano what was he
doing here at this chii5ren's party?
AIMS heart beat quickly with some
thing more than mere expectancy.
She wanted him to see her, and yet
she was afraid. She turned her eyes
away lest he should see her staring
But is was only a minute later
that May Carberry's shrill voice
sounded quite close, and Ann was
conscious Of a tall presence beside
her.

His brown eyes were not shy any
longer. but there was something else
in them which had survived the
years between. something which had
never shown upon Ann from other
eyes than his. He looked at her a

er than usual stocks OF feed. In re-
sponse to increased needs for food,
many farmers plowed up permanent
pastures and other grass lands need
ed for live stock and planted them to
grain crops while others broke their
rotation systems and planted the
same land to grain several years in
succession, thus reducing the fer
tility.
Now that farming is to be restored
to a peace time basis, the depart
ment of agriculture thinks that many
of the lands suitable for meadow or
pasture should be reseeded to grass,
that regular and satisfactory rota-
tions of crops should be established,
and that live stock should find a
place on a larger number of farms.
These readjustemnts appear to be
necessary in order to meet the still
urgent demand for meats and fats,

THE COLLEGE AND THE
LEGISLATURE.

Bills are pending in the state
legislature providing for appro-
priations to enlarge the facili-
ties Of the Oklahoma College for
Women. The school needs more
buildings and larger amount
for maintenance, That the insti-
tuition merits all the consideca-
tion which it seeks will not be
questioned by those who are ia
miliar with It's workings and its
needs.
The school was established by
the state for the special purpose
of educating the young women
of Oklahoma and it has made
good. Its success has, in fact,
been remarkable, and now it has
reached a point where 1t can go
no further unless the legislators
take a broad, statesmGnlike view
of the situation and provide Tor
its future progress. For several
years students have Deen turned
away because there was no room
for them. These girls who are
denied admission are entitled to
just as much as those who are
fortunate enough to find place
in the school.
The women of Oklahoma de-
serve the best at the hands of
the legislature. AS the one ;nsti-
tuition maintained by the state
exclusively for the benefit Of
young women, the Q. c. w. is a
most vital part of our oduca-
tional system and it. is to be
earnestly hoped that the law
makers will consider its needs
with the greatest care and Wis
dom in acting upon the pending
measures.

AMERICAN FARMING

Washington, d. G. Feb. There
is no cause for alarm as to the flu
ture ability of the United States to

A detailed survey of the agricul-

bility of forecasting the conditions
that will obtain when the 1919 crops
are matured, but it is pointed out
that the markets of the world are
opening up for American products

school could be maintained by

would not be excessive. Only two

"DICK" M'KAY.

When II. c. Mckay, pioneer
citizen, passed away Chickasha
lost one of the best boosters the
city ever had. Locating here
soon after the founding Of the
town, Mr.. Mckay always had
unbounded faith in the future
of Chickasha and few did more
to promote its progress than
he. BY nature booster and
believing that it was business
proposition, he was always on
the job when a public enter
prise was afoot
Old-timers will recall that it
was due to Mr.. Mckay more
than to any other one man that
the Oklahoma Central railway
was built into Chickasha. We
well remember some II years
ago when Mr.. Dorset Carter
came to town with a proposal
to build a road from Lehigh to
Chickasha. He didn't promise
positively that he would build it
but. in substance, he said that
if Chickasha would pledge a
bonus of $4,000 he Thought he
would be able to put over the
enterprise. 1t vas not a re-as-
suring offer but Chickasha set
to work to raise the bonus. Nat
urally, it was hard shedding in
those days to raise such an
amount of money, all the more
so because so few had faith in
the proposition. Committees
worked at the job till they grew
weary and were ready to give
up but Mr.. Mckay never fall
tered. Day after day for months
he walked the streets gathering
up subscriptions till the work
was finished.
And the Oklahoma Central
was not the only enterprise to
which Mr.. Mckay generously
gave his time and money. A cor
rect record would show that his
name was always attached to
every subscription list and he
was always active in every
movement for the advancement
of the town.

minent in McKay's makeup
