Like having Pat sprung on her, so to speak"
 "She'll love it." Jim cried confi- dently. All women like happy sur prises. Now all you and I have to do is to invite friend Pat
 But it turned out that we had to do much more than merely invite friend Pat" He had Scruples and objections galore to being sprung on" Virginia. He was afraid of in- trud:ng-afraid she didn't want to see him-afraid of a dozen ifs and buts. that made me see how very delicate his feelings were and how silly I'd been ever to fancy I could persuade Pat to rush in and take N:r- ginia by storm.
 But Jim triumphed. Pat agreed to come. The eager light in his blue eyes. the alert poise of his head, the tender note in his reckless voice told me how much it meant to Pat to see Jeanie again.
 By this time tomorrow night declared Jim, as we were leaving, the only quarrel in the Harrison sex tette will be. over the decision as tc who gets married hrst-Phoebe or Jeanie."
 ''I wish Jim we weren't so sure-its tempting fate" I said to myself.

RETURNED a. r. +. MAN
OUTDOES ENOCH ARDEN

Newspaper dispatches recently re-
vealed the strange story OF Fred Will
liams Of Lafayette, Ca, who went
away to war in 1917 and returned to
this country last month to find his
body" buried here, his War Risk
Insurance paid and his bride the wife
Of another man.
The first intimation that Williams
was alive came when his wife, now
Mrs. Grace Roberts, received a brief
telegram from New York signed by
her first husband saying he had land
ed and was coming home as soon as
possible. There was no explanation
of his long silence. According to the
War Department, Mrs. Roberts says.
her husband died in a hospital at
Brest. France, in October, 1918.
The records OF both the Adjutant
Generals Office and the Graves Regis
tration Service show that Fred VIII
liams died in the Naval Base Hospital
at Brest, France, october 3, 1918, OF
lobar pneumonia; that both OF his
Identification tags were buried with
the body; that the burial certificate
was duly signed by the officer in
charge; and that letter telling OF
the circumstances OF Williams
death was written by Mrs. Edith J
Davis, representative of the
American Red Cross, to the wife in
Georgia.
The case is so unusual that the
War Department has decided to in
vestigate it.

SEE VALUE OF FAIRGROUNDS
Cities Spending Much Money Now
for Reereationai centers, Which
Might Have Been Saved.

Memphis, Milwaukee, Indianapolis,
Akron and Hartford have in the course
OF the last year doubled their ap-
preparations for Fairgrounds, while
Dayton treb!cd its appropriation the
year before. Detroit has issued S10,-
OOO,OOO in bonds for parks and play
grounds; Portland, Ore, has issued
$5OO,W0 fOv the purchase Of play
grounds, and Pittsburgh $685., 600 for
the same purpose. With the increase
Of congestion In the streets Of Amer
lean cities the business of being a
child becomes more and more hazard
Gus. In this connection the American
City states that % children month,
on an average. were killed in the
streets of New York city during 1920.
Few blocks In the city have provision
for play space. OF the 10 play centers
planned by the Playground association
all but six remained closed because Of

the policy Of providing aecominoda-
tons for play should be adopted in
connection with rebuilding and the
construction Of new buildings.
The time TO lay out Fairgrounds and
recreatlOnal centers Is before the town
has grown to an extent that makes it
necessary to condemn property for
such purposes. Let there be proper

HIGH PRICES
Recorded For Farm Land in Ken
tucky Despite slump Since the
Close Of the World War

Lexington. KY, March 25.-Al-
though values Of farm lands in the
richest agricultural sections of Ken
lucky have declined sharply in value
form the prices obtained during the
World War, sales recently reported
from various parts of the state indi-
cate that good land still is bringing
fancy price. Sales from $3.50 to
$3.50 an acre are reported.
An INSTANCE of high values paid
for land recently was the sale of the
Ashbrook farm, in Bourbon County.
This place sold to Jesse Both, Of
Lexington, for $4S,0O. 1t contained
100 acres.
The d. B. Murphy farm, near
Newtown, recently was sold by w.
S. Jennings, of Cynthiana, to G. C..
Gorham for $4,000. 1t contained
1872 acres.
Bids of $3.50 an acre for 240 ac-
res of land in the old Haggin estate
in Fayette County we're refused re-
Gently, while 5000 an acre was bid
unsuccessfully for another tract of
800 acres of the same estate.
Real estate men at Somerset re-
Port that business was good during
February, sales aggregating nearly
$4,000. Some of the buyers came
form other states, particularly ,Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Although farmers generally are
suffering from low prices, accord
ing to experts at the University of
Kentucky few show any signs Of
real downheartedness, despite the
fact that they are having hard
time to make ends meet and are pre-
pairing to carry on" without let-up.
Crops probably will be cut down to
a certain extent from the high mark
of the last two or three years, but
many believe that with lower prices
for farm help and materials needed
on the farm the next year will show
a profit where the last year showed
losses.

Trees Public Property.

The pioneers planted forest or

an argument for their ,plaDting-when
they were hemmed in and surrounded

Washington. Today we are enjoying
the fruits Of their devotion, wisdom
and forethOught. Shall we do less
when there is SO much more need-for
the rising generations and for those
yet unborn? Not every husbandman
has appreciated the value of shade
trees. witness the ruthless cutting
