son, Jim's wife. But Jim married
his Lilac Lady" because a loving,
sweet, trusting woman is his ideal,
1 mustn't fail that ideal. Jim has
to be the leader-the head of his
household. l mustn't forget that.
l went over all this in my own
mine as l drove down to meet Jim.
So when l got to the office and
found that Jim was deep in a con-
ference with Lane Cosby and some
oil men from. the Mexican border,
1 didn't feel affronted as 1 might
once have done at having to sit in
my husbands outer office.
After a few minutes Lane Cosby
came out to me. Heartily he held
out his big brown hand, and kind
ness breathed through every word he
said in his big gruff voice;
"Hul-lo, little 'un. Jimmie's fin
fishing up with some chaps 1 brought
in to meet him his noon. That
boys too darn proud. Wouldn't let
me help him buy out West. But
I'll be blessed if he can stop me
from bringing in customer pros
poets. He's going to know every
oil man l do. Jimmie's all right.
Like to see him do well. Like to
see you riding around in limousines
and sables and pearls, little lady.
Pretty little girls were made to be
happy"
He beamed at me with a blunder-
ing, protecting sort of affection. I
wondered how anyone who had
ever seen Lane Cosby could suspect
him of deliberate evil, or believe
he'd let anyone he had ever cared
for suffer. In this minute I knew
that 4 10 - - ~ t~,v etArN-
about the Cosbys was true-and
somehow I couldn't entirely dis
credit it - this at least was certain;
Lane Cosby had never desired to
wrong his first wife. That he could
be putting Val now in a position
outside the pale of decency wasn't
possible.
Some of what I was thinking
must have fairly oozed out into my
words, for, as | spoke, l noticed Lane
staring at me oddly.
You're a good friend" I said.
And loyal. Well-Jimmie and | are
loyal. too, as Wen stand ready to
prove if you ever need u.s.
Before he could ask me what I
meant Jim arrived on the scene,
presented me proudly to the two
MeXicans and after a minute or w
of polite chat they left. Then jim
and / were free to have a few min
utes together before starting off to
try the car.
rs Cosby a good friend?" de-
manded Jim. holding me off at
arms length after he had kissed me.
Just what 1 was thinking"
agreed, and true to my new resolu-
lions | didn't express the thought
that was beginning to torment
me. But we wouldn't let him BUY
u.s.
And he loves his Val almost as
well as l do you.' pondered Jim
aloud. II wonder why Envy Mason
wanted to go prying into their pri-
vate affairs?"
"Oh. Jim - it's because she's "a
cat?" L burst out. she likes to hurt
people. It's only a little thing. but
for her reception she deliberately
chose a costume for me that is GO
ing to make me look hideous ano
she's put Val into the wrong thing
and poor little Phoebe is just going
to be dragged after Evvy's triumpha,

"Phoebe!" cried Jim. Surely the
child doesn't want to be at that ties
when she was once-why hat ism

senses?"
Il haven seen her." I explained
But Envy spoke to Virginia and

Then as if in calling me she had
lone her whole duty by both Evv<-
and me and now proposed to wash
her hands of our affairs. Mrs. Car
rington Mason said a formal good
by and rams off. She had caught
me on my way to keep a four
o'clock appointment with Jim. My
birthday was coming in a month and
Jim had decided to give me a car as
a birthday gift.
We had practically decided on a
chummy roadster with two extra
seats that could be opened out over
the tank when needed. 1t was to
be demonstrated to us at five and
we were coming back for a festive
little dinner "a deux" in town.

a DISCOVERY THAT
MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a Semi-liquid form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dry
pouder form with extract of matted
grains, 1rithomt cane sugar.
This product HoRLIck named
Matted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) It's nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from int "
to old age.

HOGS BELOW Sf5;
TOUGH OLD MARK

Hog prices dropping precipitate-
ly on the local market, fell below
the SIS mark on the Bourbon
Stockyards for the first time In two
years.
The best porkers on the mar
ket today, declining an additional
half dollar after the severe slump
of yesterday, sold at s14.75 a hun
bred pounds. Ire decline on best
hogs yesterday, amounted to IS cts,
a decline of $1.35 per hundred
weight in two days.
Since July 81 of this year hog
prices on the local market have
headed downward consistently. On
that date an all time high record
mark of S23 for the local market
was reached, the decline since that
date amounting to $S.25, or more
than 1918 per cent. The last time
hogs sold below SIS on the Bour-
bon Storkyards here was just prior
to July 1, 1917. During the war and
until this spring a minimum price
of $3.50 per hundred pounds for
the best hogs was enforced by the
Food Administrations rulings.
The sudden decline of this week
has served to bring in greater re-
ceipts to the local market, and this
heavier movment itself is an impor-
tant factor in the continued weak
ness. The fact that the farmers now
are striving to avail themselves of
the top prices prevailing has served
to restrain demand.
Other livestock markets reject
the weak condition here Courier

HAS BIG CORN CROP

Piatt County, which lies next to
and directly west of Champaign
County, in the heart of the Illinois
corn belt. has big crop of corn
ready for husking. The crop will be
around 100000 bushels, at least
half of which will be husked by men
coming in from southern Illinois,
Indiana, and Kentucky. 1t will take
around 1900 men from outside of
the county to handle this crop. The
price to be paid corn huskers this
year is &c per bushel and board,
This means that these men will
take back with them around $3.50
600. 90.
Men will find plenty OF work in
the vicinity of the following towns
of the county: Bement, Cerro Gordo
Cisco, Mansfield. Monticello, Ham
