Coin
BY FREDERICK HART

In the privacy of her little room
Margaret Sears was giving way unre-
,tranedly 70 grief.
The cause of her tears lay on the
bed beside her, tumbed mass OF
tulle and silk and satin. 1t was a
pierrette costume, dainty, alluring
crisp and fresh from the hands Of the
dressnaker: beribboned and beloved
with p0mpuns on the slippers and a
tall pointed hat, also decorated with
pompons--u costume which any girl
might be proud to wear at the last
and best fancy-dress party of the most
exclusive club Dress. stockings and
hat alike were Of delicate shade Of
pink,
Pink p moaned Margaret to her
pillow. "Pink And / told him dis
tinctly that it must be blue, and now
it's too late, and Billy will 90 away
ana never see me any more r
The explanation Of this somewhat
engmatic remark was contained in a
note, crulnpled from much reudihE,
which lay on the dainty dressing table
at Margaret's side. 1t contained only
a few words.
Peggy: | realize that I've made a

RICE WILL MEET SHORTAGE
Y CAUSED BY POTATO DECREASE


The prospective shortage Of the po-
tato crop makes possible a good de-
mand for the rice crop as substitute
for potatoes. Rice can be made TO meet
the shortage suggests the Bureau Of
Markets and Crop Estimates, United
States Department OF Agriculture. The
prospective crop Of 33,5O0,00O bushels
Of rough rice is equal to 931,000,00O
pounds OF cleaned rice, and to this
must be added comparatively large
stocks derived from the extraordinar-
lily large crop of 1920. Cuba, also,
which usually receives large imports
Of rice from this an dother countries,
has stocks Of this cereal that are
greater than the ordinary ones.
Consumption of foods was affected
variously by the requirements Of the
armies and navies during the war and
by the course of prices since the war
began, and per capita consumption
fc such fools in the near future can
perhaps be better estimated, If based
on the more steady conditions than
preceded the war, than on the erratic
ones that followed them. At the per
capital consumption Of Z pounds OF
rice in the United States in 1905,191
for all purposes, before the war, the
population, this year, would require
$50, 100000 pounds, or 171,000,0OO
pounds less than this years crop
alone, to say nothing of unusual stocks
There are, however, ways Of disposing
o fthe surplus besides finding export
markets or piling up domestic stocks.
When the potato crop is short, rice
is an acceptable substitute food, and
one that may naturally be drawn upon
to counterbalance the potato deficien-
cy. The forecast Of the potato crop of
this year, made for August 1, is only
916 100000 bushels, while the con-
at the per capita rate Of 3.S
bushels for 19O5-1914, for all purposes,
would be 412,50O,0OO bushels, so that
the prospective deficiency, apart from
such imports as may be made, is &c.
5000 bushels. The imports Of pota-
toes have never equaled 100000
bushels in one year. Rice may natur-
ally help to fill this void of approx
mately 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels of potatoes
in the food supply.
It has been noticed, also, that wheat
is to some extent substitute for po-
tatoes in food economy, when their
price is high. The expected wheat sur
plus of this country has dwindled as
the season has advanced. The official
estimate of production was reduced by
more than 500OO,OOO bushels of this
future surplus wheat during July, and,
