wrote that she would come back, he
had stated his case. She would be
own fatted calf, but there was none
of his own for the killing.
Mrs. Duryea heard the viewpoint
with establishment.
You don't mean that you are not
going to take me back?" she asked.
Not Friend in the World"
The Holiness minister nodded.
II haven't a friend left in all the
world" sobbed the woman. II went
to my mothers house in Brooklyn
and she refused to take me in. She
said that l had brought disgrace upon
the family. So / am left without a
single friend in all the world.
Won't you please take me back?"
Duryea led her to the window and
pointed out to the street. There
stood the waiting flivver. At the
wheel sat Van Noy, waiting patiently
as though he had charge of a taxicab,
and was merely awaiting a casual
fare. Behind him, in silence. sat the
little girl-his little girl.
The minister stood for a moment
directing the attention Of the weep
ing woman TO the car and to the man
in the front seat.
You have him." he said slowly.
To the woman who has violated the
social conventions for one man, that
man always stands apart. He is her
property, her hope, the embodiment
of the entire map of the world in one
human being. She may not be faith
full to him; she may be willing,
lightly, to forget their common tie,
but she expects from him fidelity.
Mrs. Duryea thought true to form.
Yes, / still have him, I guess"
she said. 81 suppose he is the only
one who will stand by me-"
And yet, holding to the man with
whom she eloped as the only real
hope, she turned to the man she had
deserted and placed her head on his
breast. She stood there weeping 81
lently. Duryea broke the tableau.
He patted her head as one might
have patted the head of a child-or a
favorite dog-and led her
Back to the other man.
Van Noy Lost to Village.
Duryea learned over the torneau
and kissed the little girl. He spoke
a few words to her. and then he
kissed her good-by.
And Van Noy7
The preacher said never a word to
him. He did not seem to know that
such a person was in the world. Van

His own wife, with none of the
minister's viewpoint on life, had al

stock in the past year has lost
money, and many Of them big money.
They also stand good to lose more
money on the cattle they have
bought and are feeding for this win
ter's market. The especially low
price of steers is due to the fact that
there is an overproduction of cattle
in this country for home consump-
ton, without any foreign trade. The
packers are undoubtedly making
money, and big money, but breed
ers are losing money. A call for
an increase in live stock produc-

When the big interests of this
country work in the interest of the
farmers, rather than against them,
they may have some influence with
them, but until that time city reso-
lutions will have no effect upon the
action of farmers. They have been
hard hit, and many of them are in
financial straits in consequence, and
they are much more apt to decrease
their production in all lines until
they see daylight ahead in the way
of reasonable profit for their in
dustry. There will be no increase in
livestock production until the mar
ket is stabilized at home with a rea-
sonable profit to the farmer, and
until there is good foreign trade
to take up the excess production.

Science Investigates
i The Farm Tractor

An important scientific paper has
just made a careful survey Of farm
tractor circumstances and condi-
tions to find out exactly its utility
and attrectiveness to the farmer.
e. After a survey of the early trac-
TOYS from 1905 to 1914, which IL
found to be mere experiments, the
Scientific American investigator
shows that the machine entered a
new era some five or six years ago.
'-'Tb4 smaller tractor, dragging two
or three plows, is now a fair sue
cess.
In 1914 10000 farm tractors were
sn use. Today thdre are 100000.
The United States has approximate
" six million farms, so there is one
tractor to every II farms. Manu-
facturers now try to make a ma
chine that is better, easier handled,
less likely to take in dirt, less likely
to injury and easily repaired.
Nevertheless, farmers haven't just
"taken" to them as much as gener-
ally believed. The states having the
most in use are Iowa, Kansas, III
inois, South Dakota and Nebraska.
Few farmers agree with the enthu-
siast that you will see a tractor on
every farm in few years, although
all believe they will increase. More
than half the six million farms are

less than one hundred acres each
and go per cent Of the tractors now
in use are on farms of more than
100 acres. Even there, the cost of
the tractor is about as much as the
horse, except for the saving in man
labor. The use of horses has only
been reduced about Is per cent
among traction farmers. All admit
that the tractor is profitable on
large farms, however.
The best authorities say that, un-
der all present conditions, the trac-
tor is best practice for small farm
ers when two or three chin in and
Buy one between them. In cotton
farming the farmer can pillow and
cultivate a good deal more land with

Sentiment among farmers still ex-
lists largely that inasmuch as the
tractor does not feed on something
that the owner can grow and does
not turn what it does feed on into
fertilizer, it is not worth as much to
them as the horse.

Our Excellent Condition

Reports from newspapers and in
dividuals as to the economic situa-
ton in various sections Of the United
States emphasize the excellent con-
ditions in Kentucky, as contrasted
with most of the other states.
Both from the manufacturing dis
tricts of the North and the cotton
belt in the South come the walls Of
people in the midst of depression,
amounting almost to a panic.
The present market on cotton is
said to yield less than half Of the
cost of producing the crop, and as
the South is wholly dependent on
it for its living, the decline has af-
fected all collateral lines Of indus
try.
In the North hundreds of fac
tories, which expanded during the
boom period of the war, are shut
down for want of orders, and thou
sands are thrown out of employ
ment. The Department of Labor
census shows over 100000 idle
hands in the country, and million
of these are said to be in the auto
mobile business, together with its
accessories.
Neither Of these affections, nor
any similar, have been visited to any
great degree upon Kentucky. With
its system of diversified farming. if |
one crop is a failure, either as to
price or production, there is another
to take its place. The man who sells
low corn has tobacco and the grower

Fair return finds something to sup

The same is. true of our cities, as
to those of the North.
With factories of all kinds, most Of

Kentucky did not enjoy. the in
lated prosperity, either in its man

attended our neiglMors of the North

when the period of depression ar
