 Again I drifted. Again I stopped thinking. Again just lived from day to day. And I salved my con science-you'll admit I'm homes: here.

 T was always harrassed by debt. My wife and l quarreled necessarily. never seemed to have the same point of view that she had. My wife never understood me-don't smile, Jim, I mean that--and almost all ways common sense and common custom were entirely upon her side. Every ridiculous and trivial affair only took on queer significance not apparent to me at the time. but 1t has become very apparent now in the fact that I could never make my wife understand my attitude or point of view.
 She had no sense of humor. You know that. Jim, and 1t was a fatal weakness.
 Sometimes I used to awake in the night and look over in her face lying beside me on the other pillow. She was utterly calm. utterly secure, ut terly at peace, and then an mex pressible tenderness would fill me. and I would lie there. wondering jus: what our lives would be at the end of the journey.

 She shut herself up in the house and moaned and cried and wondered why this terrible thing should come to her. tried to make her under stand that it came to almost all women, and by some It was acclaim ed their glory, the crowning achieve ment of their lives,
 This always seemed to drive her wild and finally gave up saying any more about it.
 T am almost sure that she brought on the illness that ended in a serious operation. after which she fingered for months between life and death.

 'Of course, my connection with the newspaper gave me the entree to the theater. but with the exception of perhaps, once a week in the play house we never went anywhere or saw anyone In the evening except each other.

ELMORE CROPS LOOK
 MUCH IMPROVED

Wetumpka, July 5.--tSpecial. )--The cotton crop of Elmore county has wonderfully improved in the past few weeks of hot weather which made it possible for the farmers to get their fields free from grass that, at one time, threatened to ruin the young cotton.
 Some sections, however. contend that the heavy mating of grasses re- tarded the growth of their cotton considerably and it is easily notice able that different sections present widely varied sizes of stalks.
 Some of the largest farmers of the county state that their prospect for a eottcn crop is better than it has been for years, and in these cases, 1t seems to have been the result of early r'anting, heavy fertilizing and rapid cultivation.

 Isn't 1t strange, Jim, that the peo- pie we love the most, are usually the people with whom we are the most selfish? We think we want to make them happy, Jim. but we never try to make them happy in the way they would like to be happy. They must be happy in our way or not at all.

Difficulties in rcconciiing these APP

that the opposition which may be ex-

proved the initiation of Lenine's new

Pig Census TO Be Taken
BY Rural Mail Men

WASHINGTON, March 19.--Thc De-
partment of Agriculture, through the
rural mail carriers, will set up machin-
cry early in May to obtain the pig pop
ulation of the fourteen states leading
in the production of swine. More than
% 900 carriers, connected with $500
postoffices, will take the pig census.
AS they start out with their pack Of
mail the carriers will distribute card
questionnaires on which will be obtained
reports from the farms on each route.
From these returns percentages and
state totals will be worked out and ap-
piled to the total of all farms in the
fourteen states. The mailmen will sup
ply the information showing the pig
birth rate from January | to June 80,
for comparison with the record for the
first half Of last year. The individual
pig data will be guarded as secret as
an income tax return.
The states to be embraced in the
census are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

MEMPHIS, March 19-Flood stage

with a stage of forty feet here and
forty-nine at Helena, Ark, predicted

Britain Offers
Concessions to
Placate Turkey
(Contlnund from page one


Delhi government proposed that the
Allies evacuate Constantinoplc, give
the Sultan suzerainty over the holy
places of Mecca and Medina, which are
now part of the Kingdom Of the He'd
JAZZ, and restore Thrace, Smyrna and
Adrianoplc to the Turks. These de
mands were brande.. impossible by
Winston Churchill, Colonial Secretary,
but the Curzon program indicates that
the British are ready to make conccs-
sions Immediately on Thrace. Smyrna
and other areas desired by the Turks.
The Turkish program exceeds even
the demands set forth by the India gov
ernmcnt. An official Turkish note last
November asked virtually a restoration
of Turkey in both Europe and Asia as
1t was before the war. The foreign
ministers Of the two rival Turkish gov
crnmcnts, with capitals at Constanti-
noplc and Angora, have been in London
this week in conference with the British
government in preparation for Wednes
days meeting in Paris, and Lord Cur
IONS program was made public by the
Constantinople minister.
Near Eastern Complications
The Near Eastern situation has been
complicated by several factors. The
Treaty of Sevres, which nominallv
ended the war between Turkey and the
Allies. was never ratified, The Angora
government recognized neither that
treaty nor the armlstice agreement
which preceded it. France, unwilling
to wait longer for peace, sent an agent
to Angora, who negotiated a new treaty
between the Angora regime and France.
This treaty has been vigorously at
tackled by the British, asserting it
was not only in violation of Allied
solidarity, but because it made conces-
slons to the Turks which the London
government could not countenance.
1t is this complicate situation which
the Allies, in consultation with the
Turks, will seek to unravel at this
weeks meeting in Paris. Out of the
negotiations. it is hoped, will come a
settlement acceptable to all the Allies
as we'll as Turkey, and from which,
most important from the British point
of view, will come the removal of the
Moslem menace to India.
