F-ortunaUely, however, he reflected, as he started out on the first delivery after his return, she did not know, and he would be able to tell after one look into her clear eyes if she were still grieving over the defectfon of that worthless youth. With alternate hope and fear he made the turn in the road which would bring him into her sight if she were watching, although he doubted very much, now that her waiting was over, if she would still run down at his coming. Furniture catalOgs and let ters from Aunt Bmmfe, while divert ing in their way, were not worth such great expectation.
 Yes, there she was, by GeOrgei She had letters in her hand, too-it wasn't possible she would reply to his curt epistle!
 AS he drew up to the box, he mo- ticed an odd expression on her face not grief, not anger-yet, what was it3
 "Well, I'm on the job again." he said cheerfully. "HOw many stamps today2"
 Then he noticed that the envelope she held out had their stamps can- celed. He took them wOnderingly from her hand. AS he saw that one was the one he had written, his heart sank. He looked at the other.
 "Read it," she said briefly.
 He opened it slowly and obeyed. Dear Ellen Mary:
 I look back with pleasure on the summer. Hope your aunt is we'll and you also.
 Yours truly,
 Edward Smith,
 There was no address.
 "He was a shade more decent than I thought" was Johns inward cOm- ment as he folded the letter.
 '"They both came last week." said Ellen Mary in explanation, "and at first thought it odd. Then noticed how different the writing was-and knew one was the writing l haC seen when you made out money or ders." She lifted reproachful eyes. "Why did you do it, John?" she asked. John was not born to be an orator, but at that moment there came to him one of those felicitOus phrases that can swing the course of nations.
 "For love of Ellen Mary" he said gently, and was nearly overcome at the light that leaped in her eyes.

ProfIteera Eorcad ta RulId

Switzerland has found a new use for war profits. The Swiss who reaped an excess profit during the war can get an abatement of taxes If he will invest his surplus in residential hOus- ing under official regulation. The regulation guards against unsightly and insanitary building. It also re- gtricts rentals to yield only fair re- turn on the investment. If the war profiteer does not care to put his easy money into this useful channel of pub lie service at a fair return, the state takes large part of 1t from him. and itself subsidies the building of homes.

The keeper of a public cemetery of a small Bohemian town near Prague excavated the older parts of the grave yard, and sold all the old bones he could find for industrial purposes, as he found that certain manufacturers paid more for human bones than for those of animals. He had been earn ing money in this way for several years before he was detected and sus- pended from the post.

turned his head responsibility, then broke into a trOt and brought his driver to the very feet of Ellen Mary
 Nothing doing, Ellen Mary" said John as brightly as possible. "A fur niture catalogue for your aunt and a letter from Cousin Emmie." Then, as the girls lip trembled in spite of her self, he leaned forward and with the privilege of lifetime's acquaintance asked gently, Are you so awfully dis appointed?"
 For moment 1t looked as if she were not going to reply. Then she evaded' the issue. "Oh, mo-" she saId and managed a smile. 'I just didn't know but there might be something for me-nOt that I really expected any, thing"
 But John knew better, and as he started on his rounds again he shook his head thoughtfully. His dealings with Edward Smith had led him to the conclusion that he was just the sort of fellow to enjoy himself in a sgfrl's company when she was around and then forget her immediately he was away.
 No doubt he had enjoyed filling this little unsophisticated country girls mind with interesting tales showing what a fine fellow he really was, but never dreaming, or else careless of the fact If he did, that she was endowing him with all the attributes of a Prince Charming suddenly come from sort of city fairyland to make her his.
 Suddenly an idea occurred t0 John AS pOstman he could play no games with letters, but as private individ- ual he had the same privilege as any man to take hand in strengthening out anOthers affairs, which in this case meant weaning Ellen Marys thoughts from the person who so evi- dently would never communicate with her again.
 That evening John, much to his mothers curiosity, betook himself to his room, where he spent an hour in gazing at his desk and 15 minutes in composing a short note which ran as follows:
 ''Dear Ellen Mary" Gle felt very sure that the Smith person had used Ellen Marys first name.)
 "1 often think happily of my sum- mer, with you and your aunt This is to thank you for your hospitality.
 "YOurS sincerely,
 Edward Smith,"
 It was brief and to the point, but contained no statements which might, in case Edward ever did write, cause any tangles. He had wanted to hint at the approaching nuptials of the said Smith, but decided against 1t as being too drastic an interference with anOther'S affairs The note as it stood, he hoped, would cause Ellen Mary to realize the finality of the episode. Having written 1t, he sealed and ad- dressed it, and sent it inclosed to his brother in the city, to be mailed from there.
 The following day John went on his vacation, which he had postponed un- til the fall owing to an inability to obtain 8 substitute before.
 And 1t must be confessed that as distance grew between him and Ellen Mary his heart grew distinctly fOnder, even as his fears grew stronger that he had meddled unwarrantably and that she would, If she learned of it, treat him with the scorn an interfering simpleton deserves.

Employment and unemployment is
matter of public interest. Unem-
ployment affects more people by far
than those without employment. The
business fabric is based on the circu-
lation of money. which yields 70 ev-
ely one according to his needs or de-
sires. When unemployment is rampant
the circr!ation of money is at a low
ebb-ip other words. buying power is
depressed. The same rule holds good
with employment. When prosperity is
at high peak. wages are satisfactory.
and employment is general, the eff
fects are felt throughout the entire
business structure People have mon
ey to buy and the circulation of mon
es is rapid. President Harding has
called an unemployment conference:
but it will be found that the unem-
ployed need more than discussion by
debating society.

Judge Joe Cabell Davis returned
Monday night from Ohio where he
spent two weeks visiting county fairs
and enjoying himself generally. Judge
Davis says he heard the good news Of
the advance in the cotton market
while he was in the west and the
western farmer seemed to be as pleas
ed over our good fortune as il he were
enjoying 1t himself. But such Is not
the case. Judge Davis says the farm
ers, bankers and merchants of the
towns and cities he visited are very
blue They cannot get living price
Tor hay, corn, wheat or hogs and a
feeling of pessimism seemed to pre-
vail verywhere- He went out to a big
hay farm and-saw 1000 tons of hay
under enc shed. The owner told him
he could not get cost of production
out of it. He said the best Timothy
hay could be bought out there for $50
ton. The general complaint was
that freight rates were too high and
the cost of transportation made long
distance shipments prohibitive. The
wheat crop was in the elevators and

TIMES ARE NOT BAD IN DILLON

We are beginning to believe that
conditions are not as bad as they are
painted. From all indications Dillon
labor has been kept busy throughout
the year. At least we have pretty good
evidence OF that fact. Three months
ago when the demand for labor should
have been at it's lowest we asked two
men for estimates on a small job We
never got the estimates, although we
have seen those men when apparently
they had nothing to do but sit around
and talk. Four weeks ago we engag-
ed a man to do a small job at the
Herald office and he promised to be
On hand the next morning. He did
not show up. We engaged another
man to do the same job and have not
laid eyes on him since. Last week we
saw good carpenter sitting on the
curbing engaged in conversation with
another man. We asked him If he
wanted job. "Yes, sir" he re-
piled We took him in and showed
him what we wanted done. He said
he would be on hand Monday morn
Ing. This is Wednesday and he hasn' t
shown up. We had small tenant
house to repair and four different

although the price was below the cost
|of production the farmers were break
ing rp land to plant another crop.
Judge Davis says he talked with a
large hog raiser who told him that
hog raising had more disadvantages
than cotton raising. This man said we
could gather our cotton and IL the
price was too low we could store it
at a minimum Of cost, whereas hogs
had to be rushed on the market when
they reached the marketable stage
bcause every day you kept them they
cost you more and more. He advised
Judge Davis against South Carolina
going into the hog business too heav-
lily. He said they had not been able
to make a profit on hogs since the
big slump came a year ago.
