On long seat backed against the
station wall the two young people sat
them down prepared to cool their
heels indefinitely. At first there was
little conversation. Jack was content
to enjoy the nearness Of Virginia.
while Virginia herself was worrying
considerably as to whether they would
be on hand for the ceremony.
Somehow I'feel as II all the prepa-
rations for this affair were being vast
ed on Marion" she broke the silence
suddenly. "She Is only going through
1t to please her mother. Her pref
erences are for wedding with the
least possible fuss and feathers"
Its lucky you and think alike on
such matters" said Jack calmly. re-
gardless of the fact that he didn't In
the least know how she thought at an.
Virginia gave him the benefit of d.
rect gaze from her lustrous eyes.
"What do you meanY she asked, then
realized that she had given him the
opportunity he wished.
"Two people who are going to mar
~ each other ought to have the same
ideas about such things. Oh, Virginia, !
have asked you so many times to mar
ry me. You always put me of. This
time, please don't evade me. Will you
marry mel"
At that instant distant rumble
caught Virginia's attention, and Jack
was forced to repeat his question.
Dear. will you marry me?"
eyes," murmured Virginia In an alb
sent-minded way as the train swept
round the curve. In answer to the
hoisted signal, 1t slowed down and
stopped.
Aboard the train Virginia and Jack,
who wanted nothing so much as
chance to take up the conversation
where It had been interrupted, found
the surprise of their life. AS they
walked through the coaches in search
of seat, they saw, Enthusiastically,
Marion Kendall and the man she was
going to marry!
And at that, Marion was the most
unruffled of them all. "Are you elop-
ing, too?" she asked.
"Eloping!" cried Virginia. Certain
ly not. But-are your"
Marion nodded.
"But your mother and all the guests
and the minister" gasped Virginia.
"Oh, that's all right" said Marion
airily. T fixed that up long while
ago with Stuart Gushing, the man Peg
wants to marry. you know. Mother
would do anything rather than let the
whole affair fall through, so told
Stuart to have his license ready, and
when mother found my note to sug-
gest that he and Peggy take our
places"
Virginia and Jack left the eloping
couple and found seats In a forward
car.
"It's really impossible to be angry
with Marion" said Virginia, "but do
think she might have taken her maid
of honor into her confidence"
"Forget about them!" commanded
Jack masterfu ". "And remember that
just as the train pulled In you told me
you would marry me? You must keep
to your bargain" !"
"Did really say 'yesY" asked Vir-
ginia so innocently that Jack was al
most misled. Then he caught the ex-
preston of her eyes.
"My darling little girl" he said ten
derly. 81 always knew that If could
have you an hour to myself I could
persuade you to accept me, even alb

perhaps II wasn't as absent-minded
as you think" murmured Virginia,
whereat Jack. delighted, surreptitious-
ly kissed her.

Shallow people are incapable Of soil

desert. terribly infested with the
hyenas of loneliness and boredom. To
the thoughtful, solitude is a spiritual
necessity as imperlous as the physical
necessity of food. "The greatest events

through the Bureau of Animal Indus

and breeders associations. The pic
lures are halftone reproductions of
photographs. and are approximately

which will be printed as a part of the
picture, and thus make neat finished

At present 10 pictures are planned

dealing with the experts employed by

er is not salesman and he must hire
a man who is an expert to reap the
benefit of his year of labor in his
crop. The growers must not fool with
any amateurs, but experts from be-

Break Down Competition.
Judge Bingham pointed out that in
few weeks time Kentucky tobacco
growers each year rush their crop on
the market, break down competition
and take any price the buyers care
to offer them. Under the proposed
cooperative marketing system experts
will be employed to grade the tobacco
and fix fair price on it and sell it
as the manufacturers need it.
The audience that heard Judge
Bingham was made up of representa-
tive farmers, tobacco buyers, ware
housemen and Owensboro business
men. Many assured him they endors-
ed the cooperative marketing system.
Mr. Bingham stated the plan now
being proposed is constructive rather
than destructive-a plan which is
looked upon with favor by the bank
ers and the manufacturers, a plan
which takes care of the warehouse
men, and also protects the buyers. He
stated he had left out the manufacture
ers and they are not opposed to
this plan. The reason is because this
is not designed to get an unfair price. "
He stated in the outset that every
one who knows anything about the
present system of marketing tobacco
in Kentucky knows there is no more
haphazard, ridiculous and undepend-
able system"

A delightful luncheon to the bank
ers was served by the Woman's Club.
Mr. Sapiro's address was devoted
to an exposition of the plan of CO.
operative marketing of the Burley to-
bacco crop in Kentucky.
He told of the great success which
this method had brought to the farm
ers and fruit-growers of California,
and how it had transformed starva-
ton prices into substantial profits for
them.
Under the Sapiro plan seventy-fve
per cent of the tobacco growers of
the State must sign a five-year con-
tract which is legally enforceable.
Under the plan, the organization
would take over all the looseleaf ware
houses, either upon a rental basis so
as to provide an adequate interest re-
turn to stockholders. or by the issu-
ing of preferred stock.
NOW tne TOBACCO grower Is DIT tne
mercy of the buyer" Mr.. Sapiro said,
but when the Association has seven
ty-five per cent of the crop for five
years he will not be at anybody's
mercy" Mr.. Sapiro said that the plan
would save the tobacco manufactur-
ers 5000 buyers which they now en-
ploy, and it would also cut the eX-
penses of the warehouses.
"Of the $4,000 growers in California
who are members of the cooperative
associations, last year only ? per cent
had to borrow money to finance their
crops" he continued There is not
another agricultural section of the
country that can boast of that record.

cooperative associations actually
made money last year. There is not
