A HUSBAND TO MARCIA
Bg CAROLYN BEECHER

Chapter xx..
 Marcia's mother seemed to possess the faculty of rubbing John the wrong way to an exasperating de- gree. At once she criticised the apartment, telling John:
 Tt is well enough for you. because you are away all day. But 1 con- sider such small rooms, and so few of them sunny. a menace to Marcia's health. I must help find her a more desirable place to live while I am here"
 "Marcia's sitting room and bed- room are flooded with sunshine on a pleasant day" John replied.
 That isn't enough. The apart ment, all the rooms, need the sum-"
 T am afraid that is impossible to find in New York-unless one pays far more than I can afford And I doubt if at any price one could find an apartment with all the rooms on the sunny side.
 ''I shall find one" John quaked inwardly. She would find something, no one could doubt her determination Marcia would side with her. and he would have an argument on his hands. Work hard as he might, Johns eX- penses had kept pace with his in-

She never lost her, temper unless John directly mentioned some extravaganza of hers. Then sht would be very quiet, almost sulky l for hours afterward. Now that her mother was with her Marcia decided to do her spring shop ping.
 'aThe new styles are in I need; l clothes. It will help entertain and interest mother" she said to John Then to her mother: You will en- 1 joy the shops, I am sure" l Because he felt a bit embarrassed i before her mother. and because he did not want to seem harsh and un- kind to Marcia. John spoke very ing look at him. He also tried to be tactful.
 "Of course, Mrs. Vane will enjoy 1 the shops. Buy what you need, Mar cia. But do not get too much just now I hope soon to be able to lel you have more"
 I'll be careful" Marcia drowned at her husband. "Yet, John. I an ] still wearing some of my trousseal dresses and we have been married almost four years-oh. fixed over, O coursei''
 "Is it as bad as that?" John laughed bit uncomfortably. He wishe' Marcia would not talk of such sub jects before her mother. When the! were alone he spoke of it.

CANDY EASY TO MAKE

CANDY EASY TO MAKE
 Most of the Christmas candies re- quire so much beating that small folk find it impossible to include box of candies in their gifts.
 However there are many candies that require no beating or delicate handling. The English toffee is easily made and much liked by both grown-ups and little folks. Our own butter scotch is always a favo- rite.

 Men of honor who never would lie to another man will readily lie to woman-in the name Of love.
 But when a man does this. his mat rimonial bark begins to rock and II it doesn't topple over. it is because some sane little wife has ballasted t with a mixture of common sense, pa tience, understa tanding. forgiveness and love.
 Why a man grows indifferent to his ''house companion" has lately been discovered by the biologists. Thus cold science once more explains sen timent. Unfortunately, the informa- ton Is hidden away in dry scientific treatises, often under a mass ot words, some of them so new that they cannot be found in the average dictionary.
 The secret of man $ varied interest in women, his indifference to the one he selected for his mate, in short, the polygamous nature betrayed by many males. is conceded by science to be fundamental It is inherent in his nature.
 But does that mean that he must remain slave to it? Not oy any means. Wnlte one SCI ence explains why man Hits from l flower to flower, another explains why he need not do so.

 But he didn't Of course not. ILe kept right on whistling, and as he

 of corn. When the basket was full he stepped outside and shut the door with another bang that made poor Chatterer jump again. Pretty fine corn. Yes, sir. 1t cer- tainly is pretty fine corn." said Farm CT Browns boy to Farmer Brown,
 who came along just then. And the rats and mice can't get at it. It's l perfectly safe here" he added. 'Tve seen that thieving Jay stealing a few grains through the crack, but I guess he is welcome to all he can get that
 way. No one else can get any. that's 1 sure."
 Chatterer grinned. Then he remem- 1 bered a little verse his mother had ! taught him when he was a very lit i tie fellow and had been boasting what 1 he knew:
 1 Don't be too sure of anything,
 For, smart though you may be. You're sure to find somebody else
 Can beat you up the tree. Which means, of course. that nc

 yourself. some one else is just as smart or a little bit smarter. Here 1 was Farmer Browns Boy boosting

acre at an outlay less if possible than the cost of producing the average acre.
 What determines the yield per acre? Under given conditions the yield depends upon the efficiency of the farmer. If he fertilizes wisely, cultivates wisely. irrigates wisely, and does all of the other operations wise ly, he will have a relatively large Yield, and probably a relatively large profit. But there are times when poor farming ii more profitable than
 good farming. The weather may happen to be favorable to the great multitude of farmers. The total yield of wheat or corn may be determined
 by the weather in the wheat region and in the corn belt; and the produc-
 tion resulting from the cheap farm- ing of Kansas, Nebraska, the Da- kotas and a few other states favored
 by the weather may result in such a
 slump in prices that the wise farm
 CT may find that his wisdom has be- come the equivalent of foolishness he spent too much labor to make
 money the year the elements favored the farmers who get by with the least expense that will assure some sort of a crop. But the wise farm - 1 CT knows that wise farming is justi- 1 fled in the long run.
 'The point to be understood is that 1 agricultural production can not bS | controlled as manufacturing outpu 1 can be regulated. It is well under 1 stood that the potato crop of tht i United States is worth less wher
 the season is generally favorable fol 1 potatoes than when the season i l unfayorable. Nevertheless, the DO l tato grower must try to secure |; l high yield.
 l What is to be done? It is pos. sible to try to regulate the acreage
 whether of potatoes Or corn or cotton After that. with proper organization it is possible to regulate the flov to the open market of the product
 whose production can be limited to ;
 degree but can not be controlled. Tn
 man with sufficient capital can hol,
 his wheat and corn until next yea
 or even the second year, and tha
 without much loss. Not so with tn
 man who raised a bumper crop of DO tatoes; for the potatoes must go t market the year they are grown. Must the potatoes be markete the year they are grown? So far a the individual farmer is concerned yes. But it might be possible to dr the potatoes and keep them indefi nitely. just as it is possible to kee raisins and prunes and wheat Bu this means organization; it mean financing; and it may even mean gov ernment regulation of the marketin of the products of the farms-or ( some Of the stable products

BY THORNTON W. BUR


 Chstterer, the Red Squirrel, curled up Tn the darkest corner of Farmer t7ToWns g corncrib. was having such a oesNtlfui dream. He was king of me Green Forest and the Green Meadows. and all the other little people whp live there brought him presents of beautiful yellow corn He had great storehouses all filled with corn and he would never. never again nave eo hunt for anything to eat. Even Shadow the Weasel brought him presents of corn and everybody vas very polite and bowed before ai1n because he was king. Yes, indeed 1T was a beautiful dream
 Presently he dreamed that he had heard 2 whistle. a. merry whistle It was the whistle of Farmer Browns Boy, and he had seen him coming down the Lone Little Patch through the Green Forest with a great bag of corn on his shoulder as a present for the king. The whistle sounded nearer and nearer. Suddenly Chat 1eGer's eyes flew open. At first he thought he was still dreaming, for he had forgotten where he was. All around him was the beautiful vel tow corn and he still heard the whis- die, only now it sounded very loud indeed. He shut his eyes and then opened them again to see if the corn would disappear. It didn't It was real. It was all about him In fact he was lying on some. And the whis- He was real, too. In flash Chatterer remembered where he was and he knew that Farmer Browns boy mus, be just outside.
 He started to scramble to his feet 10 peek out, but just then the door Of the corncrib was thrown open with a bang so tl.at it seemed as if his heart came right up in his mouth A flood of sunshine poured in and made the corn seem more yellow than ever Then in stepped Farmer Browns boy still whistling. Chatterer thought that of course he had come for him. He vas sure of it ar q he was just go- ing to make a rush for that knothole through which he had crept in wher something inside had warned him tC keep perfectly still.
 So Chatterer kept perfectly still though it seemed to him that it was one of the hardest things he had ever done in all his life He felt as if ht simply must run. Then he remem. bered how Unc' Billy Possum hae fooled Farmer Browns Boy by keep ins perfectly still even after he hat been found. so still that Farmer Browns boy thought him dead
