Few Years You May Be-"

that lOng-ago girl of seventeen be-
cause her advocate was the woman of
twenty-eight, the finished, cultivated,
capable woman who had served him
and his house, who must win his re-
spect back because she loved him with
every fiber Of her being.
The words in which she would tell
him came to her in a rush. Why-it
was nothingl 1t was less than moth
ing. In half an hour she would be
back here in her room again, with all
the past clean and straight at last,
with the cloud gone, and with her
whole soul singing with hope of the
glorious future. For a moment she
knelt by her bed, her face in her
hands.
She rose to her feet There was a
tap at the door.
1t was Bottomley. '1f you please,
'm-Mr. Carter would be so much
obliged If you would step down to the

parting glance, and followed the man

thing too long! I've imagined it into
an Importance that II really hasn't at

Richard was back at his desk; he
smiled and rose as she came In. There
was another man In the library, who
rose and faced her, too.
And when Harriet saw him she
knew that she was too late. 1t was
Royal Blondin.
A dizziness and sickness came over
her as she went slowly to the chair
opposite Richard. She touched the
desk for support as she sat down, and
felt that her fingers were cold and
wet.
"NIr. Blondin has come to talk to
me about Nina" Richard said. Har-
riet somehow moved her dizzy eyes
toward Blondin, and she smiled me-
chanically. But she had to moisten
her lips before she could speak.
81 see! Her voice sounded nor
ribly choked to her; she could find
nothing to add to the meaningless
words
"Mr. Blondin asks my consent to an
Immediate marriage" Richard said.
"You know my objections to that,
Harriet. of course! We have Just
been discussing them, as I explained
to him. This is a painful matter to
me, and I regret 1t. But Mr.. Blondin

THE LAST WORD IN ECONOMY

Republican spell-binders in Washington are making great noise about savings which they claim the republican administration is making They go far to assert that if they are left in full power of the reigns of government for few years longer they will actually get the finances of the country back to peace basis. All of which is indeed remarkable for republican administration
 But the really remarkable thing is their last great stroke of economy. It is understood that they have saved several thousand pennies here tofore spent for mouse traps. A proof of this saving is in the free seed which arrived we found fully half of the packages badly dam aged by mice, some of them completely empty Of course democrat might figure that the seed wasted in this one mail sack would have bought tration has gone beyond that. They have figur- ed the saving in the purchase price of the traps and in the wire wood and labor needed to make them. And think of this. That little saving put would amount to enough to buy the earth and surely that ought to be startling enough to thuse all good republicans.
 But started to say, the seed is here most of it and the packets-most of them are here for the seeds that not here, and they are all here-that reached here for free dis tr1butlon. Now we suggest that all old time stand pat' republicans call at the News office and each take one of the mouse emptied envel- Opes and plant it in his garden as a memento to the wonderful saving his party has made in mouse traps. The progressive republicans should each take package that has been but partially destroyed by mice to remind him that he might get wOle package formerly, by putting the good husbandmen-the democrats back The democrats may appropriately take of the whole packages to remind them how all the packages always came in the democratic days of few years past.
 Anyway, get your seeds at once for they are nearly half gone already, thanks to the mice.

OUR MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY

Williams is soon to be the center of millian dollar industry. That statement sounds like not air, to many mossbackS who have convinced themselves that Williams has no future but such human fossils are due to awakening Soon- The industry which is going to develop million dollar proportions is the potato industry. 1t will mark to be sure, but that term of years can be decidedly shortened if the town and country will unite in boosting King Spud.
 The Coconino Farm Bureau has already ac complished much in developing the potato indus try, and this organization will extend it's opera tions with succeeding years It IS to the interest of the people of Williams well the farmers that the potato should be made a successful crop should actively cooperate with the Farm Bureau in furthering the success of the potato growers.

If the seed grown here proves to be what TRAINLOADS of Coconino potatoes and that at seed potato prices-fifty cents or more above the market for other spuds.

sumner is on strike, but at least there
seems to be a general disposition to
delay purchases Of coal until fuel ac-
tually is needed. The consumer is in
clined to view the coal situation with
a large measure Of impotence and dis
trust. There are a good many things
about it that he does not understand,
and that he questions. He does not
like the higher prices that he is being
required to pay, for one thing. He IS
suspicious Of them-suspiCiOus that
they contain undue profits for some
one, somewhere along the line between
the mine mouth and his bin. He does
not suspect his local dealer, but he
has lost confidence in the producer,
and he fears that he is being gouged
by coal gamblers and spectators, just
as he was gouged by the sugar gam
blers during the war. The coal con
sumer has ceased to be alarmed by
talk about a possible coal shortage.
lie has heard the cry Of wolf and
has been misled by it SO often that it
now falls on deaf and unheeding ears.
He may be wrong, but he is convinced
that much of the talk of fuel shortage
is merely a blind behind which prices
are increased and maintained. In
short, the consumer is more or less
rebellious. lie is persuaded that he
has not had a square deal. He sus-
poets that there is a conspiracy ONE
where to profiteer at his expense. If
he could make shift without coal, if
other fuel were available, he would
cease to pay tribute to the coal indus
try. Feeling as he does about it, is it
any wonder that the consumer is deaf
alike TO pleading and threats and re-
mains unrespOnsiye to all urging to
buy his winter stock Of fuel? He rec
ognizes that he Will be compelled to
buy eventually, that the cold will force
him to yield, but he is resolved to hold
off as long as possible. If to do that
constitutes a strike. then the coal con
sumner is on strike. Considering all
that has developed in the coal industry
during the present year, is he to be
blamed?

a FREE a FAIR

The idea of making the South Da-
kota State fair free to all, which has
been recommended by the State fair
board, is the subject of much discus
sion at present and most newspaper
editors seem inclined to condemn the
plan for various reasons In all OF the
articles we have read so far, we have
not found any mention OF the main
reason why the board suggested q
free fair. According to w. S. Hill,
president of the board, who was in
Brookings recently, the principal fault
with the present plan is that it makes
the fair board personally responsible
for the attendance at the fair and for
any financial losses that may arise be
cause Of bad weather cutting down at
tendance. 1t places the board in the
uncomfortable position of guarantee.

If the weather this year had been as
disagreeable as it was last year, the
State fair would have been wiped out,
because they mad no reserve funds
left and the board members would
have been bankrupted paying up the
losses and no one else could have been
found TO take the job.
The free fair idea has been tried in
Kansas and il has met with wonderful
success The Kansas fair has grown
TO be one Of the largest in the west

trebled in the space of a few years.

We are told that we are facing a
GOAL shortage.
But the shortage Of coal is not a
reason for he increase OF the price
Of coal. To increase the price OF
coal would make it possible for
the rich to have coal, but it would
make il impossible for the poor to
purchase it.
This country needs so many tons
Of coal. The rich and the poor
alike need the coal. The shortage
of coal should not cause the price
to be increased. An increased
price will prevent a just distribu-
ton Of coal.
The only legal and just thing that
can possibly be done is to distrib-
ute the amount Of coal we have
among all the people at the same
rate that they would have been
charged for the coal had there been
a sufficient quantity.
The profteer who takes advan-
tage Of the situation and raises the
price of coal is an enemy of the
people.
