Tomorr0w-A RELUCTANT
 PROMISE


 to be changed were grouped as: CD those wasteful of time, t2) those wasteful oi money,(3) those wasteful of public interest, i.e, serving per sonal or local ends rather than the national medals.
 Among practices wasteful of time, Mrs. Park cited the method of roll call in the house and the practically unlimited debate in the Senate. Among those wasteful of money shc included the careless use of supplies, the abuse of the Thanking system, and, the most important of all, the hap hazard system of making appro- priations and auditing accounts.
 "On the House side" she said, "a thorough-going program of reform was outlined last year by Massa- chusetts member, Hon. Alvan T. Full Ter. It included CD budget system .(2) the elimination of useless com mittees, (3) the selection of eaci committe of it's own chairman, t4J uniting of all clerks on public pay roll, (5) doing away with spells and nerduisites. (6) restriction of frank ing. CD complete publicity, (S) electrical voting, (9) automatic re porting of all committe business tlO) confining business oi Congress te matters that are national in scope
 "One of these suggestions, the put inc of clerks upon the public pas roll has already become the law, ana the adoption of budget system has lately been voted by the House.

Voters to Blame For Pork Barrel,
 Women Declare

Chicago. H.. Feb. .24.--voters as well as lecislators are to blame for pork barrel politics, Maud Wood Park, Boston, national head of the League of Women Voters told a ses- sion of the political education school for women, here today.
 Until voters interest themselves in what is being done in Washington lit is futile and unfair to expect members of Congress to heed needed changes" she said "The sad part is that in many cases almost the only requests that senator or congress. man has from his constituents arc 1 for personal or local benefits. It is
 hard for him to realize that tn, strenuous efforts of lobbyists do no represent the wishes M al his con stituents. Final responsibility witt kthis state of affairs lies with tn,
 voters and they should realize it."
 Mrs. Park then outlined tho way lin which the members of the Con gress are elected, the differences il

COTTON MARKET IS
 NERVOUS, UNSETTLED THROUGHOUT TIE DAY

New York, Feb. 2i-- The cotton market was nervous and unsettled during the entire day. Liverpool made a relatively easy showing over the local holidays while local senti- ment was influenced by renewed talk of possible advances in money rates and the easier early ruling of the stock market.
 May closed at 3l.3o. New crop months. which were relatively firm carly, closed steady net 26 points higher to 15 points lower.
 March was relatively firm in the absence of notices.
 The market opened steady at a slight decline on May but generally higher. Private cables said near months were under liquidation in ex~ pectation of an advance in the Bank of England rate on Thursday, and there Was considerable selling of May and July here by houses with English and Wall street connections.
 The Liverpool selling was attri- buted to fresh straddle accounts ow- ing to the early decline in sterling, while Wall street was supposed to be selling on the unsettled tone of the stock market and nervousness over money market prospects. Old crop months sold lower, the new crop, sustained by unfavorable weather in the eastern belt, yielding much less ground. Later, near months rallied on covering and trade buying of July. A telegram from the southwest re- ported demand for low grades from German but there were reports a slow spot demand, from some points in helt

Farmers Problems Cause Risk of
 Food Shortage

Washington, Feb. 24 Warning that serious risk of reduced food production impends because, of high wages demanded by farm laborers, high cost of farsif \ Equipment and supplies and pronounced movements of people from farms to the cities, was given today by the department of agriculture on the basis of re- ports and letters from all sections of the country.
 "The most definite of these re- ports come from New York state" :" the department announcement said, "where records of the population on 3,775 representative farms on Feb ruary 1, this year, and February 1, a year ago, were made. The people on the farms decreased more than seven per cent last year. If the same ratio holds for all parts of the state about 35,000 men and boys left farming for other industries Only about 13,000 have changed from oth- CT industries to farming. This is rapid movement"

XXI-THE FORGOTTEN NAME

"Jim! Oh, Jim, don,t you know me?" cried, stretching out both hands to catch him as he swayed. "It's I, Helene"
 He pushed my hands away, propping himself up in bed, so that his face was close to mine. There was no light of recognition in his eyes.
 "A lie!" he muttered What they said--about me-was-- was-'' "Yes, dear::" I strained to catch the weak, muttering tones. "Tell me what did they say?"
 He flung his head back then, and laugh-intinitely pathetic.
 "Wha--whadda you care, anyhow ?" The unnatural bright eyes were fixed upon me. "You-you took their part"
 "No, Jim," I cried, distraught. q stick by you. l believe in you. l all ways shall believe. Tell me-tell me the trouble!"
 "What they said about me was-a lie-an- n-internal-lie!"
 "Yes, yes-dear heart! What did they say"
 l wasn't frightened now. Those wild, dilated eyes-oE, in the old days they had held only an overpowering tenderness for me- Dilirous or not, Jimmy Jim m-wouidn't seek to harm me. Besides, in moment such as this, I couldn't think about myself. What foolishr, spoiled girl that 1 was matter in comparison with my hus- bands peace of mind, his ultimate recovery? For-till Jlm's mind was eased--the fever and dilirium would not leave him. 1 knew it. I brought every scrap of will-pow- CT into play. willed with all my strength that Jim should tell me the burden that-w soaring his soul. My eyes met his--and didn't finch or waver.

"The-the check" he muttered. Then followed tangle of words couldn't understand. For in his de- lirium he spoke incoherently.
 "'You mean you didn't forge the scheck.??" I whispered to him, softly but quite distinctly, and praying that the question might really reach his fevered brain. 2
 "A lie-a lie!" His voice rose lon high, shrill note. Immediately be- ! low the bandage on his forehead lips trembled with emotion, after the Jim-this poor, fever -racked Jim was reduced by utter weakness to the period of uncomfortable childhood
 Reaching forward suddenly he caught my hand.
 "rhe check-the check-what. they said about me was a--a wicked lie! His voice was clear now. He gripped my hand so tightly that it hurt. ''l--- didn't do --it!"
 "Of course you didn't! It was the work of someone else" I soothed him as a mother would seek to soothe a l frightened child. "Semeone else did I it." r
 Jim nodded. His eyes were glow Ii ing darkly, as though strong light were shining, from within.
 "I know--who did -it!" His voice was feebler now, despite those bril- liant eyes. Again I strained my ears to eaten each syllable. "The wan who ] forged the check vas" I "Yes? Tell mo, dear? Tell me his name!" I urged, as bent forward.
 "His name isis" Jim swayed for an instant, then his grip on my hand relaxed, and he fell back on his pill lows, utterly exhausted. His eyes closed.
