Daphne had come home after a
morning of rebuffs. She was heart
sore and footsore. In shabby boots
that she could not replace. She was
called to the telephone, and Duane's
voice chanted In her ear with a tone
Of peculiarly comforting melancholy.

"Why notf" she said, with a laugh.
She was glad that he could not see the
tears that gushed across her eyelids.
"Three cheers for you! I'll be there
In a jify. You couldn't arrange to

Again she answered, "Why not?"
Duane's voice rang back: "Tip-top!

He helped her into the car and they
whisked away southerly.
He returned to the road along the
Hudson. and 1t was SO beautiful in the

hurry through the wonderland at such
speed. And what vas she going back
TO that she should be in such haste?
She limited as much to Duane, and
he bettered the suggestion. Not only
did he check the speed, but at one
wooded cliffside with a vista of pecu-
liar majesty he wheeled out Of the
road and stopped the car. shut down
the chuttering engine and turned of
the strenuous lights.
They sat utterly content till Duane
shook off the tlissful stupor. They
could not stay here thus forever. They
could not stay much longer. 1t was
growing cold and late.

be placed on four sides Of the house,
opening below the level Of the false
floor. The intake vents should be at
least "a by 30 inches and should be
provided with tight-itting insulated
doors, being placed about ID feet apart.
Outlet fiues should extend from the
ceiling of the storage room vertically
to the roof and should open into the
cupOla, the lower end of the outlet fiue
In each case being provided with n
door to be closed whenever the intake
vents are closed. The outlet fiues
should be not less than 20 square feet
In cross section for every 5000 square
feet Of floor space. The ventilation
Is usually accomplished at night. as
the temperature at that time usually
Is lower than during the day. although
even then 1t requires careful attention.
In the storage of apples about eight
cubic feet Of storage space are neces-
sary for the accommodation of each
barrel of fruit. On this basis any
grower can quickly determine the
amount Of space he needs. The height
Of the storage roo ordinarily should
be about II feet from floor to ceiling.
Handling the Apples.
The question Is often asked, "Why
does n lot Of apples keep well In
storage while another lot of the same
variety will show serious decay and
costly deterioration early In the sea-
sOnf" Investigations of the depart.
ment Of agriculture show two princl-
pal causes Of apple spoilage in storage.
One m from not picking apples at
the proper stage Of maturity-when
the seeds have turned brown or near.
ly black, when the apples part readily
from the fruit spurs in picking. and
when the underlying color Of the skin.
or ground color. has turned from deep
leaf green to a lighter yellOw-green
hue, as these are the earmarks of the
prime storage apple. Another cas-
for deterioration comes from allowing
the picked apples to remain In the
orchard or in a war; packing house
exposed to daily changes In the tenn
perature, or exposed directly to the
suns heat. AS a rule 1t is not possible
note the serious effects of this ex-
at the time the apples r
placed in storage, although a heavy
loss Is sure to occur later when the
fruit is treated In this name
Apples properly handled and placed
in storage promptly may keep In ex-
rellent condition from four to six
months, while fruit from the same
may de~teriorate quickly In stOr-
age due to delay in handling promptly
the tree to the storage house.
From the storage standpoint one Of
most serious problems that the In
iividual grower and shipper has to
out is to arrange his operations
10 that his apples a be handled
promptly and expeditiOusly from the
lrees to the storage.

three months of the year a run to
more than $103, 900. When the ship

About a month ago, after the first two
months had made a good showing, the
goal for the first three months was set
at $l00, 600.
Bentonia, in the southern part of
Yazoo county, lies in the hill section
that is rapidly proving so profitable in
live stock raising, and the shipments
from that point nearly equal the COM

Lord Cecil's Views.

Lord Robert Cecil said on more than
one occasion that the trouble withImuch
of the opposition to the league of ma
tons plan was that people thought a
perfect instrument could be drawn in
Paris at this time. He argued that
1t was essential now to put into an
international league all those things
upon which agreement could be oh
tanned among all members and leave
to the future such revision as the or
ganized public opinion of the world
would demand.
Mr., Root himself evidently recog-
nizes that the covenant will undergo
changes from year to year, and his
amendment making a special provision
for a general conference of members
to meet not less than five nor more
than 10 years after the treaty is
signed, is therefore especially signlfi-
cant. On the whole Mr., Roots letter
will be regarded abroad as support for
the American peace delegation, par
ticularly. because many of his amend
ments have been suggested by the
interesting to recall in this connection
House urged the appointment Of Mr.,
Root to the American peace mission,
and II the position Of the Republicans
finally is that just announced by Elihu
Root, II will be convincing proof of
the claim of many of President Will
sons best friends that the appointment
of the distinguished former secretary
of state would have been wise, both
from a national n international point
of view.
