Phoebe tossed her head with 8 knowing little smile.
 Phoebe, I'm ashamed of you!" forced myself to reply out of loyalty to Father Andrew. 'tYou gave your word to a dear, wise man who'd never have asked it except for just cause ''
 But in my heart of hearts couldn't be sure she was so far wrong. We were all lying to protect the burned out embers of a marriage that was beginning perhaps to be as great a drag on Lane as on Val. Then what justice was there in refusing to agree to a marriage which would be ideal because founded on love? Suppose Neal hadn't a right to his name? whole sad business. No just cause for criticism or scandal or disgrace. And Phoebe was at a dangerous stage of wisdom and revolt Perhaps she needed the anchor of marriage even more than Neal did.
 Phoebe broke in upon my reverie. crying triunphantly:
 You know Pm right. I fought Haufsons to scrap with each other. But when began to think about it I saw how right she was. Now you musn't oppose Neal and me. It isn't fair. Perhaps if we could reach Fla, ther Ar'Irew and ask him he'd agree"

 Won't you even consult Jim ?" asked, hard put to it to stand out against Phoebe like this. Phoebe, dear, please don't judge me Don't hate me. If Jim agrees, Iswon't say another word"

FARMERS WARNED TO
ERADICATE CHICORY
Il Has Become Troublesome
Weed In Many Sections.
Seeds Of Plant Usually Distributed In
Grass or Glover Seed In Which %
Occurs 40 an lmpurity-
Readily Identified.

One mans meat Is another mans
poison; and chicOry. grown az vege-
table In Europe, is likely 70 become
pest over here, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Chlcory Is grown as vegetable and
forage crop In Europe and to lesser
extent as a vegetable IN the United
States. In some sections, notably In
Michigan, there Is considerable pro
duction Of the root for use as coffee
substitute. II readily runs wild. and
the wild form has become In recent
years a troublesome weed from the
state of Virginia northward, It's
spread has increased from year to
year until the Department Of Agricul-
ture finds 1t sufficiently disturbing to
justify a warning TO farmers.
The seeds Of the wild forms are
usually distributed In grass and clover
seed in which II occurs as an impurity.
Farmers should watch for the appear
ance of the plants, readily identified
by the blue flowers and thick roots,
and eradicate II by cutting an inch or
so below the soil surface. After cut
ting drop a pinch Of salt on the sew
cred root, which will prevent sprout-
Ing. During the morning hours the
bright. blue flowers are very cOnspicu-
GUS and II is easy to locate the plants
and either pull or cut them. When Il
appears In quantity II may be eradi-
Gated by growing an lntertilled crop,
such as potatoes or corn, for at least
two years. Continuous grazing by
sheep or goats will also help destroy
the weed.
Chicory was brought into Massachu-
sets from Holland In 1885. The prin-
cipal use OF the plant Is as a coffee
substitute and adulterant, for which
the roasted dried root Is used. Im-
proved varieties Of chicory are used
as salads and greens. The young, ten
der roots are also edible. One variety

becoming increasingly important As
forage plant chicory is little es-
teemed In the United States, but In
Europe 1t is regarded as valuable
element In sheep pastures.

MUCH FARM PRODUCE
IS MARKETED DIRECT
Many Farmers Are Making Good
! Use Of Motortrucks.
Producers Living Near cities Often

Observation-Disclosures Profit
Is Eliminated.

I, A large amount OF farm produce u
marketed by the use Of motortrucks.
While relatively small amount OF
this marketing is done direct to con-
sumers, many persons have made use
OF motortrucks In their direct market
ing. Producers who live near to cities
often can market advantageously di-
rect to consumers II they obtain or
ders for sufficient produce at one time
to warrant the use Of truck. This
can be done especially In seasons when
consumers desire sufficient apples, po-
tatoes aud similar articles for a WIN
ter's supply.
A man who lives near Providence,
r. l., for several months every autumn
obtains orders for sufficient produce
to require two or three trips a week
with a motortnck. His orders are OBJ
tanned from old customers and ny adj
Fertising. Double or return postal
cards are sent to old customers. The
first half of the card gives inforina-
ton and prices, while the return card
bears the address Of the producer on
one side and an order blank on the
other. All that 10 necessary for the
consumer to do. Is TO all out the blanks
with proper quantities, prices and
total amount, sign his name and ad-
dress, and mail the card.
New customers are obtained by the
recommendation Of old customers and
by advertising. Small but attractive
advertisements are placed In newspa-
pers. Consumers are requested to or
der by postal card OF telephone. Pay
ment for produce n collected upon de
livery.
The loads of produce average about
one ton in weight. Apples, potatoes
and cider are the principal articles
sold. About IS or 20 stops on routes
about % miles In length are made in
dlsposing Of load Of produce.
This method Of marketing requires
more time than to market wholesale
but many persons who are located IA
vorably, can market In this way at q
slight additional expense and deliver
to the consumer produce which is load
ed at the farm and not handled until
II Is delivered In the consumers cellar
In this way less waste occurs than In
many other methods Of marketing. {
