BULB INDUSTRY IN U. S.
Washington State Growers Have Made
Inroads on Dutch. Exports.

Tulip-raising is making rapid ad
vancement in the state of Washington
This is the result of the great success
which attended the federal govern
ment's experiments with bulb farm at
Bellingham, where the soil was found
to be well adapted to the cultivation
Of tulips and other bulb flowers.
Last fall 100000 tulip bulbs were set
ont by men starting bulb farms and by
families who wished to beautify their
yards. These bulbs were shipped from
Holland which has long been the center
Of the bulb industry Of the world.
Formerly nearly all the choice bulb
flowers and ornamental shrubs raised
in this country were grown from bulbs
and stocks produced abroad During the
war many of the finest bulbs became
very scarce here because it was impos-
~ible to get shipments through from
Holland. II is likely that from now on
the United States will steadily become
more independent in this and other
branches Of horticulture.
Aside from the satisfaction Of iird
ing that bulbs Of an excellent quality

is the pleasure felt in the versatility
of the northwest Flax and fruits not
formerly grown here are now raised
with complete success. Flowers OF many
kinds not native TO the region show
signs of thriving here. Each fresh exper-
iment which turns out well acts as a
spur to try others Il is safe to say
that in no section Of this country have
the full possibilities of production been
exhausted or even discovered.-Ta Tacoma

you mean by saying that my wife
told you? What did she tell
When did she tell it to you
where? Your talk is irrational
81 am perfectly normal, Mr.
Early"
"But, Alix, you cannot near
that you have been talking with
my wife, and that she told you
that l was in love with you. You
have never seen my wife-nor she
you"
Il had never seen her until
last night. Then she came here
and in this room said precisely
the words that l have just repeat
ed to you"
At this Roland Early almost
wilted in his chair.
"Why should l be subjected to
all these dramatics by you and
your wife?" l demonstrated be-
fore he could again speak. Truly
l feel almost indecent-not be-
cause of my gypsy prank with
Larry, which you came here to
find fault with me about, but be-
cause l have put myself in a posi-
tion where l have not only to
listen to protestations of love
from married man, but also to
the frantic appeals of his wife to
leave him alone.
do you realize, Mr.. Early,
that your wife came to me late
last night and told me that you
had asked her to divorce you;
that you had found a woman that
you could not live without and
her whole plea was, Give him
back to me, give him back'?" My
voice broke with the shame of it
all and l trembled visibly.
What possessed her to do
this?" Roland Early spoke to him
self rather than to me. apparently
dazed by the unexpected turn of
our interview. Things were not
going as he had planned. For
the first time in his life he had
found out that he did not know
the woman he had married.
II am sure Mrs. Early did not
know that you existed for me. l
have always been veryS careful
never to mention your name to
her. How did she find out and
why did she Gomez" be querried,
speaking rather to himself than
to me.
l could not refrain from telling
Roland Early a great truth and 1
did not attempt to soften the blow
when l said: Roland Early, you
may trust a loving woman always
to find out the innermost life of
her husband. The life that
man loves to think is concealed
from every one In his secret
heart"

We were In my little living
room when Roland Early asserted
that knew that he was in love
with me. AS he spoke, / sat
down heavily in a nearby chair,
and he, taking it as an invitation
seated himself in a great arm
chair beside me.
For moment I was so en-
ragged that l could not speak.
This was twice in twenty-four
hours that l had been told that
/ knew of the love of a married
man for me, and each time there
was at least a slight intimation
that | had encouraged this love.
Mr.. Early seemed to have mis-
construed my science. for he con-
tinued to look at me with most
possessive tenderness.
Finally got my vocal cords
into such control that l felt
could speak without my voice
trembling, and said: at is very
strange that two people should
feel themselves better able to
gauge my knowledge of your re-
gard for me than I am myself.
1t is also strange that both should
take 1t upon themselves to inform
me OF that knowledge upon the
same day"
who else has said that ! love
you?' he demanded in alarm. 1t
Fwas apparent that he did not
want the world to know 1t. how
ever much he Haunted It before
my eyes. WAS 1t that fresh
young pop-in-jay who strutted
about town with you in that gyp-
sy garb?"
mo, Mr.. Early, Larry never
mentioned your name. He classes
you with his father. 1t never en-
ters his mind that to me, as well
as to him, you are not an old man
who has finished with love and
youthful passion. Larry is real
ly young and he brings a splendid
ly fresh outlook into my Iife."
