CHAPTER XIV.

During the years of his work in the
alley Michael had become known
more and more among workers for
the poor, and he found strength in
their brotherhood, though he kept
mainly to his own little corner, and
had little time to go out into other
fields. But he had formed some very
pleasant distant friendships among
workers. and had me- prominent men
who were interested in reforms of all
sorts.
He was hurrying back to his board
ing place one evening late in Jan
uary with his mind full of the old
problem Of how to. reach the mass of
cecency so that they might stand
some little chance Of being good as
we'll as being alive.
AT the crossing Of another avenue
he met a nan whose ,eloquence as a
public speaker was only equalled by
his indefatigable Ntirelessness as a
worker among men.
GOOD evening, Endicott." he said
cordially, hating in his rapid walk,

SEED COMMISSIONER
WANTS INFORMATION

Many citizens are Interested in OBJ
tanning good seed for sowing the next
years crop. Many seem confused on
what to buy for seed and where to
look for it. Men who have the very
best seed in their possession are look
ing elsewhere for seed.L Some who
have wheat, ana other grain, that is
scarcely fit for a as feed, offer the
same for sale as seed to others. Often
they call it by the name of the best
known variety. Often they do not
know n kind or variety from an
other, and are thus not to be too
harshly blessed.
The Pure Seed Laboratory workers
would like to help to the limit of their
authority and ability. We are auth
orized, when we find parties having
good seed for, sale, to state the amount
held for sale and to place their names
to send that list to those who wish to
buy. We are also authorized to stop
the. sale of seeds under false name and
seeds that are not fit for sowing pur-
poses. We cannot do this, if proper
information is not available. We get
many letters which read like the fol-
lowing:
Dear Sir:-Under separate cover
we are mailing you a sample of wheat
gwen 10 us 1Of u local farmer VINO IN

who is trying to sell it to him claims

what it is. or what you think of it fcl

ply. we are, yours very truly"
This wheat, on analysis, proved tc

poor quality, but as the writer gave nc
names, the analysis is worth nothing

minority alone. but to the entire body
Of the population, Of whom two-thirds
are engaged in pursuits. and have I'M
~terests, other than agricultural.
The farmers Of the country are
just now disturbed over the reduced
price of wheat . The masses in the
great cities are not exercised over that
fact at all. They have no enmity
toward the farmer. They wish him
well. But the fact which first ap-
peals to them in relation to the pres
ent price Of wheat is that 1t is giving
them cheaper flour than they have
known for years. They are buyers
Of food, and they buy as chtaply as
they can. With the marketing of
agricultural products politically con-
trolled, whose interests would be
likely to dominate. those Of the ten
million voters who cultivate the land
or Of the twenty million voters who
carry on the other activities Of the
nation?
So long as the marketing of q
product is controlled by the producer,
the producer is in a position to OBJ
tain for it all that it is worth. But
when the producer becomes mere
minority stakeholder in the market
ing agency, he is likely to find things
going badly for him.

FEBRUARY
Will Contain Five Sun
days This Year.

For the first time in 40 years there
will be five Sundays in the coming
February. Ordinarily the sequence
of five Sundays in February reeurs
once in each rs years. but owing TO
the fact that 1900 was not leap
year, the calendar slipped cog.
and Sunday. being shunted out Of
place in numerical order. II did not
get back into position to become the
first and last day Of the month from
isso until this year.
As most school children know, this
year 1900 was not leap year Those
who invented our present system Of
computing time discovered that add
ing one day in every four years was
a fraction too much. so the plan was
hit upon to make century years de-
visable by 400 only leap years. This.
Il was found, evened things up nicely
and prevented January from eventu.
ally becoming a midsummer month.
as might have been the case some
time in the next $4,000 years had
this not been done.
The first time in the last century
that February had five Sundays was
IN 1924. IL happened again in 1852
and again in 1850. each period 2s
years apart. After this year the Sc
quence will occur in l94s. 1876.
2006. 2O34. 2O62. 2O90. and then
since POO will not be a leap year. il
will skip TO 2i3O.
Perhaps the question most in the
minds Of those who are on weekly
pay basis is as to Saturday. but these
can be treasured somewhat by the
knowledge that there will not be five
in February until 1886.
