The American taste for rice seems
to have been sharpened by the war,
The rice production In the United
States has practically doubled during
the war period and in addition to this
the importation has doubled. Mean
time the world has awakened to the
fact that the United States has rice
to spare and the quantity OF that ar
ticle passing out of our ports to for
eign countries and our noncon-
tignous territories in the fiscal year
1918 was 3so,ooo.oOe pounds as
against ls3,0o0,o0o pounds in the
year before the war, while, Of course,
the quantity of wheat which we have
spared TO the outside world has great
ly stimulated consumption at home.
The rice crop of the United States
was 23.64s,o00 bushels in 1914, and
according to the latest estsm ates of
the department Of agriculture, will be
4c,4s7,0o0 bushels In 1919. while, as
already indicated, the quantity i'm
ported has practically doubled.
The United States is by far the
largest rice producer OF the occidental
world. This comparatively new in
dustry has grown out OF a system Pc
culiar to this country of producing
rice in manner In which modern
machinery can be utilized in plant
ing. cultivation. and harvesting, in
stead OF the crude methods by which
it is produced in that great rice grow
ing section Of the world. the Orient.
Rice production In the United
States languished after the civil war.
for it was not then realized that ~
could be grown and harvested by the
machinery and methods applied to
tho ptouuction Oh wheat and other
grains. Rice can only flourish on
wet~iand. SO wet that ordinary farm
machinery cannot be used upon Il.
But few years ago 1t was discoy-
cred that certain lands in Texas,
Arkansas. Louisiana and elsewhere
were so constituted with relation to
SOIL, climate. and water supply that
they could be prepared with the
usual agricultural machinery. the
rice also planted by machinery. the
lands then flooded from nearby
streams or artesian wells, and the
water drained off as the rice an.

HELPING MAKE PRICES REASONABLE

The sale Of surplus army supplies
70 civilians will not make any great
headway toward direct relief of the
general public from excessive prices
but II will have it's effect in making
people think. Certainly the scenes in
Richmond where such sales have oc-
curred indicate a very widespread in
terest and a general disposition to-
ward thrift that in the end must be
helpful.
Raids on hoarders and spectators
are upheld on much the same ground

they Will do good IL not pushed too
Tar, and IL not made TO include ac-
cumulators who are neither hoarders
NOR SPECTATORS an evil sense.
Traders who lay in supplies in a
t1sne OF plenty against time of want
arc spectators of a sort who per
~" uociui sSIftSs, anu arc en-
titled to fair pay for them. Goods
bought In time OF plenty and held
for scarcity are certainly held for d
prodt by the rise. but the increased
price IL earned. and no jury would
convict such SPECTATORS of any crime
against the community. Such specu-
iAtofs do on large scale only what
prudent heads OF families do on a
small SCALE. and impute it to them
selves a. q virtue. Also, exporters
who have prepared for foreign trade
on = scale which lack OF credit ac-
commodations prevents their realizing

are spectators OF meritorious
sort. but who in such case may have
made a mistake more harmful to
themselves than to the public II
conditions enable us to eat supplies
intended for foreign consumers, we
shall make the profit which the speech
lators will lose. But the spectators
hardly ought to go TO jail for having
misjudged their market.
In other words. the criminality OF
boarding and specializing depends
upon both facts and motives. The
facts are of easy proof It Is only
necessary to compare the quantities
this year and last. and TO compare
this years excefy. IL any, with the
conditions under which the supplies
were accumulated. There Is a scanti-
ness OF such facts and comparisons,
and also a somewhat too easy as
sumption of evil intent IN the inter
pretations of the facts. A jury trial
is an excellent recourse in such doubt
full cases, We should like to see evil
hoarders and spectators punished as
they deserve, but we should dislike
to see next winters supplies eaten
now. although they would be cheap,
II is too dreadful to think of what
the prices would be X the stors-
houses should be empty when next
winter arrived. The spectators
never hoped for such a harvest az
that would be for those few whose
stores escape raiding now

them.
These are good rules for attaining
the hugest perfection Of failure. You
can either follow them to their goal
Or you can take the other road that
leads to financial success. The three
best precepts for reaching this are:
l. Invest regularly In war savings
stamps.
2 Buy only wnat you need and
want OF other things
8. Treat your purchases as IL they
were real money.
Here are two sets OF rules. leading
to as many ends. It's not fancy to
say that the choice Of the two lies
with each individual Take the one
you want.

JOSEPHINE
BY WHITE.

II would have asked you long ago,
DEAR" David Craythorne said, had 1t
not been for Josephine. Josie is q
a difficult child" he sighed, "her
mothers doting sister was obliged to
give her up in despair. How, then,
dare ! impose this burden upon you
because Of your patient love for her
fatherf A stepmother's position is usu-
any problematie and no one is more
aware Of Josephine's faults than I, who
indulge her; for the hid with all her
waywardness. Influences me against
my will. !, myself, am often very
trying; are you sure that you are will
ing to sacrifice your peace to our
great needT
Hfllfcent smiled.
T don't expect to sacrifice my
peace" she said; but to bring peace
into both YOU lives, and manage you
beautifully"
David Craythorne smiled also but
his eyes were troubled.
Many have tried to manage 10
sephine," he warned her.
Perhaps" Millicent suggested,
'there were none who could find the
way to her heart"
81 doubt II she has one" the father
whimsically replied, beyond her own
furbelows."
He sat looking at the dainty woman
before him, and the tired lines Of his
his face softened into tenderness.
eff you could know, dear,v he said,
show long I have loved you, and have
suffered in my determination to keep
my secret"
while all the time,r laughed Mill
cent, "your love was no secret at all,
but an open book to be read. Almost
IN self-defense I decided to propose
myself"
"Dearestir begged the man; his tone
was Intensely eager; when will you
come to be my wifef"
"When I have found my way into
J~osephine's heart and confidence" she
answered him gently.
The hopeful light left David Cray
fhorne's face.
." ~ must change that decree, Mill
cent" he said seriously. TT has been
In waiting for Josephine's unreasoning
Jealousy of you to subside, that I have
grown sad and weary"
MiIlicent stopped to pluck a rose.
"Never before then, David" she IN
swered firmly. $50, as I must hasten
In finding my way to Josephine's heart,
! am going to her now. We will have
a visit at least, and a-sort Of look
over the battlefield" She laughed
back at him as she passed through the
opening of the hedge from her garden
into his.
Josephine possessed a weakness for
purchasing for herself any new and

unnecessary article which might take
her fancy. The punishment for this
further offense would be a term begin
ming the following fall Of boarding
school. Josephine detested the rou-
tine Of the boarding school. Her ia
ther, noting her silence, had been ap-
prehenslvs that she had again dis
obeyed, entailing upon himself the pain
Of carrying out his decres.
There would be a violent scene. he
knew, and Josephine would not suffer
alone In her punishment. As he
watched the figure of the little woman

fected upon the difference between
the two.

Just at sunset the gate opened, ana
the two women-for Josephine was
entering woman's estate-came into
the garden together.
David Craythorne sat up suddenly
and gasped. The unreconcilable had be-
come so quickly reconciled, Josephine's
open revolt had merged ~miraculously
into friendly understanding Of the
other.
His daughters handsome black eyes
met his placatingiy.
Daddy" she said, II did not know
Miss Minicent before; I neve knew
that any woman could be so generous
and Kind. And I've wanted to know It,
/ think, all my life. We are going to
be happy, Daddy, we three together
you'll see
Millicent smiled into David Cray
thorne's happy, perplexed afce.
"Once upon q time" she explained,
II was a young Josephine, with the
same prejudices, the am impulses
though not always expressed" And as
she walked on through the garden
with the girl at her side the step
mother-to-be threw an arm about Jo
sephine's shoulders.
$50 you bought the forbidden hat
at Joslyn's7" she asked. "It ear be
easily transferred from your fathers
account there to mine. And because
1t would grieve him to learn of your
~disobedience, Josephine. because you
will never err in that way again. I win
trust you for that-we will not men
ton this disagreeabIe fact again."
1T don't want the hat" retorted Jo-
1ephine, st was just a sort Of come
back at Daddy; but you've been so
dear about everything, and you've
made me feel so foolish and repentant.
II you'd only wear 1t yourself as a
trousseau hatT
Millicent drew the girl closer.

together to where David Craythorne
waited. .
