joined her father.
Reuben looked her over with proud
eyes. "Why are you dressed with
such splendor, my daughter he
asked, noting the jewels.
els it not fitting to deck myself
like bride, when l go to the syna-
gogue on Shabuoth," answered Rachel
demurely, "since this day is the be-
trothal day for Israeli" From ves-
sci upon the table she drew forth a
huge cluster of crimson roses and
lilies. "See, take these to make the
synagogue beautiful for our festival"
They walked to the synagogue to-
gether, Rachel chattering all the way
as though she wished to make up for
the time she must be absent from him,
away up in the women's gallery, dur
ing the services. But the man was
silent, thinking how much she looked
like her mother on her day of be-
trothal, before the marriage shears
had shorn her Of her crown of glossy
hair.
So they passed from the bright
warmth of the street into the cool
dimness of the synagogue. And there,
bending over his desk, sat Nathaniel,
his lips moving, his eyes aglow with
happiness. Rachel was only SIM
pie woman, unlearned in the Law, but
she knew that at that moment Ma
thaniel was not thinking Of the spring
sunshine outside or roses and lilies or
a maiden's face. And she knew at
that moment that she wanted Nathan
iel to lay aside his dreaming for a
little while at least and love her as
we'll as the Torah to which he had
given every hour of his young life.
Rachel hesitated as she stood there
her arms filled with the lilies and
roses she had brought to make the
synagogue beautiful for Shabuoth.
Then, look of determination in her
bright eyes, she dropped rose across
the page over which Nathaniel leaned.
A moment later she was gone, but
the rose, breathing of spring and
youth and sunshine, lay like a softly
flushing ruby upon the holy words:
Rousing himself slowl y from his
dreaming, Nathaniel picked up the
flower. He looked at it curiously, for
he had been far too busy studying the
word of God to learn to love His ham
diwork Another time and he might
nave tossed IL ASIDE; DuC ne remem-
bered that on Shabuoth flowers and
sweet-smelling grass and young trees
are brought to the very altar and that
a pious Jew may enjoy their beauty.
So he murmured the prayer to be re-
cited when a man looks upon beau
tiful object; then turned again to his
study.
But he did not throw the rose away
It was still in his hand as he went
from the House of Study that night
and passed below the window where
Rachel, rose still in her hair, looked
down upon him. Then for second
time that day, the daughter of Reuben
the merchant, did an unseemly and
immodest thing. She slipped down
the stairs and followed Nathaniel and
when she reached his side called his
name. She had forgotten that such
holiness would brand modest Jewish
maiden with everlasting shame; but
she was determined to speak to him
and she was too impatient to devise
another plan.
Nathaniel stared at her with eyes
suddenly awake and almost uncon-
scioWsly repeated the prayer which

in so many ways ?"
"a child" Zebulun was now really
horror stricken. "Do we not pity even
a dowerless maiden who has not come
beneath the marriage canopy before
her seventeenth year? Do not yield
to her whims, beg you, else neither
your gold nor her beauty will bring
her husband in the end"
But Reuben only laughed, declaring
it would make him happy if Beauty
never thought of taking a husband
until he himself no longer needed her
and lay at peace in the House of Life
beside Rachel's fair mother. Which
was such shocking wish for Jewish
father in those days, when to remain
unwed was considered little less than
sin, that Zebulun had no answer at
all and left him speeches. with hor-
rOr.
Now it was Shabuoth again, which
meant that springtime had come to
LIE Mans, not only to the estates of
the mobiles and the princes, where the
trees leaved and budded in the golden
sunshine, but to the Street of the
Jews also, where the children of Israel
returned in spirit to the homeland and
dreamed of long ago pilgrimages
along the sun-warmed roads of Pal
estine. And Rachel, opening the lat
ticed window of her chamber, sang
for sheer joy as she looked out into
the street below and listened to the
twitter of the little birds, a-building
in the caves.
Her merry eyes grew suddenly
grave. "Springw murmured Rachel,
"and the birds are building their nests
and preparing to care for their little
ones. But have no home of my own,
although my father is very good to
me. All of my girl friends have
welded and are happy in building
their homes, while I am still like a
wild bird who fears the cage" And
now her eyes frightened as they fell
upon a youth passing slowly down the
street on his way to the synagogue.
For she recognized him for Nathaniel,
an orphan youth of whom even the
oldest men along the Jews Street
spoke with great respect. Nathaniel
was poor and alone in the world; he
had neither the gold of the money
lender and merchant nor the greater
gold of eloquent speech. But the men
who remained in the House of Study
from early morning until far in the
night, loath to rest even for a moment
from their reading of the Torah, these
scholars declared that Nathaniel was
a lad of great promise, shining light
of learning, even in that day when to
be student was greater than to be
king.
Nathaniel had never raised his eyes
to Rachel, nor, in fact, to any other
maiden. When he stepped from the
dim day of the synagogue into the
bright sunshine of the Jews Street,
his eyes ever sought the ground and
he walked like man in dream, his
lips moving noiselessly as though he
still murmured passages from his be-
loved Torah. No recluse shut in a
monastery cell, no holy hermit, re-
vered by the Christians, ever lived
more remote from his fellowmen than
did Nathaniel, the youth upon whom
Rachel, the Beauty of the Jews
Street, now gazed with shining eyes.
An hour later when Nathaniel sat
in his familiar corner, swaying to and
fro as he fed upon the honey of the
Torah, Rachel, standing before her

the organization is to be realized. AS
set forth in the constitution of the
Indiana Federation of Farmers as
sociations, it is the purpose of the
association to protect the economic,
business educational, legislative and
social interests of the farmers of the
state, and when these phases Of the
work are being considered, it neces-
sarily involves the activities of the
farm women. The Indiana directors
believe that it is not necessary to
have separate organization, dupli-
cation of officers, or anything of that
kind. but merely the united effort Of
farm men and women in the same or
ganization.
In Indiana it has been arranged so
that a farmers wife or daughter,
where there is already one fully paid
up member in the family, may be-
come a member of the local township,
county, state and national organiza-
tion with the payment of $3.50 an
nually. This fee is divided up with
the Indiana Federation of Farmers
Associations and so cents for the
American Farm bureau. This plan
of organization was worked out at
a state meeting of farm women held
In Indianapolis. with the recommend
ations that a committee of farm wom-
en-, one representing each of the ten
federation districts, be selected to
suggest such additions to the progress
of work of the state organization as
would take in the interests of the
farmer from all angles, as outlined
above, in way that would enlist the
interest and cooperation of the en-
tire community. This committee Of
ten in their recommendations pro-
vided for the increased interest in So
cial activities of the community with
i special educational and health pro-
gram.
Although the total enrolment OF
farm women members in the Indiana
Federation of Farmers Associations
has not reached large numbers, as
yet. still the interest is growing rapid
ly and where aroused to the needs
and conditions, they are willing to
give their time and talents along with
the men, to establishing an organiza-
ton whose object is to insure more
permanent, stabilized and profitable
agriculture for the generations to
come, which means the essentials for
the establishment of home and COM
munity life of the highest type.

FIGHT TAX-FREE SECURITIES
Nothing but Havens for Wealthy Who
Wish to Escape Paying Their
Proportion.

"Tax-free securities are nothing
more or less than havens for the rich
who wish II invest their money and
escape paying their proportion of the
expenses of the government" said II.
c.. Mckenzie, tax expert of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau federation, recently
commenting upon the house resolution
introduced by Representative Green of
Iowa which would do away with all
tax-free federal bonds people with
large incomes who formerly lent large
sums on farm mortgages have entirely
retired from this field of investment
owing to the fact that per cent
tax-free bond will give them as much
income as the income from a 10 per
cent taxable mortgage.
1.-THE annual loss in taxes to the
federal government is at least $780,
100000 rer year, according to Profess
sor Seligman of Columbia university.
In addition states having income tax
laws lose a very large amount. The
net result is to increase the taxes on
all other property. The last report OF
the New York state tax commission
shows that while 25 per cent of the
incomes of the people of the state
comes from real property, 20 per cent
of the taxes are paid from this
source"

WORK FOR IMPROVED
VARIETIES OF WHEAT
Farm Bureaus in Ohio Join With
Seed Association and MiIIerS
for Higher Qualities.

Farm bureaus in a number of coun-
ties in Ohio have been working with
the Ohio Seed Improvement associa-
ton for some time in the improve
ment of their varieties of wheat. Now
they are joining with millers in pro-
noting these same wheats and also
to improve flour milled from Ohio
wheats.
Those in this work have been en-
deavoring to get the farmers to grow
Trumbull. Portage, GLADDEN. and other
improved Wheats from the standpoint
Of increased yield per acre. Expert
ments recently completed have
proven that these wheats are superior
in milling qualities to the common
wheats grown in Ohio. Millers in
a number of sections are willing to
try out these wheats and are paving
premium for improved wheats be-
