The northwest, by its remarkable

the 1922 dairy show the best and most
useful in the is years of national dairy

President Harding Sounds Out Britain

Washington-Administration officials
would not discuss reports emanating
from London and Paris that the Uni.
ted States is sounding out European
powers on the proposition of an inter.
national land disarmament conference.
There were no denials OF the re-.
ports. however, and there is a we'll de.
fined belief here that the president
and Secretary G. E. Hughes are plan
ming to issue an invitation to the
powers for such a conference which
would be operated on lines similar to
the Washington conference last win.
ter which resulted in the naval treaty
and the four power Pacific pact.
At that conference land disarma.
ment was included in the agenda, but
the time was unpropltious for it's con.
sideration. 1t was the general under.
standing that future conference
would be called when European ma.
tions would be in better position to
discuss land disarmament.
1t was also disclosed that another
three power conference to review the
naval treaty is within the range of
possibility.

Farm Experts Teach Pitting Method
to Potato Growers,

St. Paul-Potato growers in the nor.

will be instructed in the best methods
of pitting their potatoes, by county
agents of potato growing communities
and by representatives Of the Univer.
sity of Minnesota agricultural exten.
sion department, according to plans
formulated at a conference between
state agricultural officials and F. L.
Peck of the ~" extension department.
The meeting was called by Hugh 7.
Hughes, director of markets, Depart.
ment of Agriculture, when it was de.
cided to send representative to the
various potato growing counties of the
state and to obtain the cooperation
of the county agents in advising with
the farmers the need of pitting their
corn.
Lack of proper railroad equipment
to handle the vast crop of tubers
grown in the state this season, makes
1t necessary for farmers to take some
means of saving the potatoes from
the freezing weather which is expect.

SYNOPSIS.

Observation-Disclosures because of the
seemingly barren outlook of his position as
q school teacher in a. small Canadian town,
John Harris determines to leave 1t and take
up land in Manitoba, = Homesteader."
Mary, the girl to whom he is afiianced, de-
clarcs she will accompany him.
CHAPTER I--They are married and set
out for the unknown, desired country. Aleck
McCrae, pioneer settler and adviser Of new
corners, proves an invaluable friend.
scHAPTER H.--Leaving his wife with the
family of a fellow settler, Fred Arthurs,
Harris and McCrae journey over the prairie
and select a homestead. Mary insists on ac-
companying him, and they begin their life
work Of making the prairie fertile farm
land.
CHAPTER III.-Returning from selling his
first crop, Harris finds his wife respondent
almost to insanity from loneliness, and with
the immediate expectation of becoming a
mother. A son was born to them, to whom
they give the name Of Allan.
CHAPTER IVA quarter Of century
passes and John Harris, with his wife and
son, Allan. and daughter, Beulah, have ac-
quired comparative riches. With prosperity
the desire for wealth has become q part Of
Harris life. Beulah, girl-like, longs for
something more than the drudgery of a
farm household. Jim Travers, her fathers
:. hired man" becomes to her little dearer
than mere friend.
CHAPTER V.-The call Of the West,
where millions of acres are appealing for
settlers, has taken hold of Harris and of
Allan, and the two have about decided
to make the venture. Performing an act
Of kindness for Beulah, Jim Travers has

Harris and Allan drove straight to
the engine, never looking back to see
what became of the hired man. On
the way the farmer explained to his
son what had taken place; that words
had passed between them. but no
blows had been struck, until Allan
appeared on the scene.
II can't make out what got into
Jim. that he wouldn't answer civil
question. Jim was a good man. too"
Perhaps the disturbing suggestion en-
tered Harris mind that the question
had been none too civil, and he was
really beginning to feel that after all
Jim might be the aggrieved party.
But he crushed down such mental Sc
dition promptly. ut don't matter how

At noon Jim's chair was vacant, and

depressing silence. No mention was
made Of the mornings incident until
