covered himself enough to be both

Marie's resourcefulness amused him.
He was angry because his studio had

sanctuary. And it was Marie he was

With a mans usual instinct to keen
clear OF a feminine contest, Mendall
left y matter to Marie, and busted
himself with placing the portrait.
But he almost lost control Of his fea-
lures when he saw Marie's next
maneuver. She went to her easel, the
self became absorbed in her drawing:
she was not to be eliminated.
MendaH had his foibles. he could
not paint with onlookers about. Mrs.
Mendall knew his peculiarities and
never, intruded. Glare ,Bagsby had
discovered that Mendall's annoyance
at her presence was not because he
wanted q tet-a-tete with her step
mother, that when his art was con
cerned Mendall was honest. Mendall
could not paint with Marie's yellow
eyes on him, and had he been in a
mood really to work he would have
promptly banished her. But the day
had beer spoiled for him. He could
not paint a decent stroke in any case:
Marie might have her way for all he
cared. He worked a little on his
background and played with unim-
portant parts Of the drapery, silent for
the most part.
Mrs, Bassby flushed from throat to

being circunavented. She had come

OUR OWN SUGAR
The unce,

2 The uncertain and very unsatisfactory state OF the
sugar supply naturally turns a good many thoughts to-
= y ward the possibility Of increasing domestic production,
At present the United States is dependent on Cuba for q
slar6e share Of its sugar. Cane sugar Is produced In large
'~Quantataes In the Gull states. but the production there
1falls abort OF meeting the demand, and there appears to
1be no prospect that this production will soon increase to
sa point which will make US independent Of the foreign
s%supply.
Sugar production can be increased to almost any de-
sstred point in this country by extending the cultivation
OF the sugar beet Sugar cane can be grown successfully
sonly in q very warm climate, while the sugar beet will
grow and thrive almost anywhere in the northern halt
sof the United States.
The production Of beet sugar, however, depends on
more than ability to grow beets. Sugar beets vary wide
~ in sugar content, and it is on this sugar content that
the availability Of the beet for sugar manufacture de-
Ponds. All sugar beets contain sugar, but not all contain
yenough of it to make it profitable to raise them for sugar
purposes, The percentage of sugar contained in the root
SIS affected by many conditions, temperature. humidity.
soil composition and the supply and character of water
Ilal having their influence. Hence, in only a small per-
centage of the area in which beets will grow is it known
THAT they can be grown profitabiy.
The extraction Of sugar from beets. and the refin-
ling of that sugar are processes requiring large and costly
tplants. and capital cannot safely be invested In such
PLANTS until both the industrial and the commercial as
.ipects OF the case have been carefully surveyed.
! When 1t comes to the question of individual supply
1t cah safely be said that every farm can produce its own
sweeteninE, not necessarily In the form of sugar, but in
THE form OF syrup. If. with the knowledge which we now
possess, we were following the agricultural customs Of
our grandparents. every one of our western farms would
nave its patch of sugar bets and its patch Of sorghum
from which. each fall. the years supply Of syrup would
be made. The processes of manufacture for this pur-
pose are simple, and every farm has all the equipment
necessary for the work. But the old customs are passing
into dieuse. The modern tendency on the farm seems
to be to sell the products Of the farm in their raw: state
and to buy them back for domestic use after specialists
have prepared them. The little individual mill is no
longer IN evidence. The farmer prefers to sell his grain
and buy his meal. He sells his hogs on the hoof and
buys his hams and bacon. It will not be long until the
farm churn Is as extinct as the dodo and Creamery butter
Twill be found on every farm table. whatever the cause,
and whether the policy be sound or unsound, that is the
aunnistakahleS tendency. And. this being the tendency.
we need not expect the farmers to make their own syrup
ANY more than they make their own soap. ,

A LAND BANK LOAN

In a speech delivered in congress during the past
summer it was charged that in Iowa the federal land
bank had violated the law by loaning more than $40, 900
to a single borrower, and had loaned money far in excess
of the proper loan value Of the security. In the case in
question $4,000 had been loaned on a single tract. This,
it appears. is not denied by the land bank authorities. but
the loan was made to several persons who appeared as
1.-THE owners Of record, but who are said to have been
merely dummies who had no real interest in the property.
and acted merely to aid in bringing about an evasion Of
the Ian. .
1t is further charged that in the case in question the
properly included a considerable area of swamp or part
ly submerged land, and that it was not proper security
for any such amount of money as was loaned. On this
point there is disagreement. the land bank officials main
tanning that the value of the property was ample tor the
loan. and their critics insisting that this is not true. APP
plication for a loan Of $500 on the same property was
rejected two years ago by a private company, and it is
|laftYe rather than productive. and that the loan itself is
highly speculative. z
1t would be idle. at this distance, to attempt to decide
as to the facts in tass case. but the controversy suggests
what We may expect to accompany the operation Of public
loan agencies When the state or the nation goes into the
business Of loanins money the work is necessarily han

Mrs. Bagsby came up the studio to

ed the gown In which she was being
painted trailing behind her. AS she
approached her blue regard was
more for Marie than for Mendall.

Mendall had forgotten the note the

When Marie had said she was ready

coquetishly worded announcement
that h had returned from her motor
