II beg your pardon she said freez-
ingly, "but / called in answer to a
letter from my uncle to see his old
friend, Mr.. Farquharson, not to discuss
furniture with-with his secretary"
she finished awkwardly, guessing at
the probable occupation of the young
man. IF Mr. Farquharson is indis-
posed, will you be so good as to tell
him that I called and that / am sorry
that could not see him." She turned
to go. The young man took q swift
step forward.
Miss Davis he said earnestly,
please don't go. Mr.. Farquharson
will be delighted to see YOU To tell
you the truth, he did not expect such
a Young and-such young lady to
call. From your uncles description of
you, you were quite different from
what / see you to be-"
Margaret's eyes blazed. Then she
suddenly broke into laughter.
81 confess that I don't look forward
to the meeting any more than Mr..
FarQuharson," she said. Uncle evil
IDENTIFY told him things about me, things
that aren't so. I'm not a horrid, old,
snuffy person like uncle, and I'm
afraid that Mr.. Farquharson won't
like me-"
"He likes you very much, indeed"
said the young man calmly. He
thought that you would be a horrid,
old, snuffy person, and he was pre-
pared for a dreadful afternoon. / am
Mr.. FarquharSon, and / came so close
to your uncle by helping him in some
of his antiquarian research work and
have been meaning to decorate this
room ever since I came into the in
heritance Of this house; and if you
will come with me to the sun parlor,
which is really quite attractive, we
will have tea
Margaret followed him in a daZe.
In daze she was ushered into most
attractive little sun room; in a daze
she was introduced to a beautiful,
white-haired old lady, who was Mr..
Farquharson's mother; in a daze she
drank her tea. But afterward, when
she and the no longer dreadful Mr..
FurQuharSon had had mutual explana-
tons and much comparing of letters
and a great deal of laughter, and she
had promised to 60 to the theater with
him very soon and let him come to
call on her, and a great many other
things had happened which showed
pretty clearly that Uncle Emerson's
friend had no intention of letting Un-
Gle Emerson's niece get away from
him, she made a confession.
II was more afraid of your name
than anything else," she said. "It
scared mel'
81 hope it doesn't scare you now"
replied the young man.
Margaret merely shook her head
at the time; but thinking it over after
ward she came to the conclusion that
Farquharson was a very nice name,
which was fortunate, as she soon sub
stituted it for her own.

What's In a
Name?
BY FREDERICK HART

g. 1872. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
"Oh, dearI'
The words sounded much like some
thing great deal stronger, if it had
not been impossible to connect the
/ idea of strong language with Margaret
Davis. She was not at all the sort of
person one would suspect of using any
words stronger than the above quoted
expletive, and yet it did sound sus-
piciously strong when she said it.
Something was evidently wrong with
her world.
"Oh, deari''
No doubt about it this time. Some
care who knew it.
1t was four O'Clock on the afternoon
of January 1, 1922. New Years day,
when the world takes on new lease
of existence, and every person feels
as though he were given fresh start.
On this day of all days it seemed
strange that pretty girl should ex-
as they were.
But Margaret naQ ner reasons.
1t was her Uncle Emerson's best
friend who was at the bottom Of the
affair. Uncle Emerson was a dried
up, squeaky-voiced sort of person, who
sent Margaret a present twice year
on her birthday and on Christmas
and who otherwise played no part in
her scheme of things; she had not
seen him for years
But it appeared Nhat Uncle Elmer
son had friend-"a very close and
valued friend" he had stated in his
letter to her; and he had, with mad
dening avuncular complacency, told
this friend to invite Margaret to make
call on him on New Years after
noon. Worse-he had accepted for her

IMMIGRATION SERVICE
GETS EARLY ATTENTION

The local immigration office was in
receipt of a communication from
Senator Dillingham; Friday, convey
ing the message that on March the
9th the Senate adopted an amend
ment to the regular one of the ap-
preparation bills, appropriating $3.50, ;
600 to take care of the immigration 81
tuation for the remainder of the fiscal
year. This action apparently indl-
Gates that legislation now will be TAX
en- to do away with the furloughlng
of employees of the service.
The amendment was introduced by
Senator Lodge and was in the nature
of a deficiency appropriation. The
appropriation for the immigration
service was so inadequate that notices
were recently sent to all ports OF
entry, ordering all men In the service
to take 80 day furloughs prior to
June 80 without pay. The Newport
Chamber of Commerce took the mat
ter up and sent night letters to our
United States senators and congress
men, and similar letters to the one
received at the immigration Office
Friday from Senator Dillingham; was
received by Ex-Mayor E. w: Savage,
c.. A. Brown secretary of Newport's
president of the Chamber and Judge
E. j. Smith.
Senator Dillingham; in introducing
the. amendment, said that the appro-
priation for the immigration service
was SO inadequate that they would
be obliged between now and the LIST
of July to lay off most of the force
by fufloughing them for two weeks
or a month at time, and it will re-
duce it from a force which numbers
only 200 men to from 400 to 700. Of
ficers. He said the service is now IN
adequate, and this laying off inspec-
tors of immigration can have but one
effect, an increase in the smuggling IN
of immigrants who are barred by the
law, and an increase in the number
of immigrants illicitly coming into the
country.

lage has contract. This practice is
not violation of the letter of the
contract, and Pierce & Carcn may be
able to stand the loss entailed for
the year 1922 without financial en-
barassment, but is it just? Is it in
accordance with the spirit of the
teachings which the Sunday evening
services seem to promulgate?
This custom has Unexpectedly
grown from an occasional meeting to
a regular business proposition. The
i village may realize in full on it's con-
tract for 1922, even if this free priv
ilege is still granted, but what of the
succeeding years and the probability
of a further contract or any other ar
rangements? The result must be-
come serious handicap to the future
revenues from hall rentals. This loss
is estimated at probably nothing less
than from $500 to $1,000 per year.
These meetings are of undoubted
benefit to the people. The people
own the hall, The trustees wish
it distinctly un e t o o d that
they are not in any sense antagon1s-
tic to these meetings or their hopes
for potential good to the community.
They are entrusted with the care and
management of the village property
and in their stewardship seek to COM
ply with the wishes of the people and
to do justice to all. For this reason
they now place the facts squarely be-
fore the people that they may act
their own pleasure and judge lntell1-
gently. The trustees will abide by
their decision in the hope that the
greatest good may result.

told his friend to expect her. This
letter came on the same day that the
friends" invitation had arrived.
She knew the friends" address but
not his telephone number and there
was not enough time to write and de-
cline. Uncle Emerson had simply ar
ranged matters without consulting her,
and there was nothing to do but go
through with it. She looked forward
TO an afternoon spent in the company
of some snuffy old man who would
pirate of the days gone by-who might
even pat her cheek in a Senile way.

Forest FLOWERS.

Many blooms are found In our hard
wood forests in the spring-in fact at
that season the woods are wild-how-
er garden, while later in the season
they have comparatively few flowers,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
The reason for this vernal habit or
woodland plants Is that in the spring
the sunlight shines down almost unob-
structed on the forest floor, but later
on, when the trees have attained their
full LEAKAGE, little light filters through.
And light is required for the carrying
on of the work of food elaboration by
the leaves, so that the forest plants
send up their leaves into the spring
sunshine, manufacture food, and store
it in underground structures, such as
bulbs, corms and rootstocks, so that
they are ready for an early start next
spring.

Effective Moth Protection.

Chests made of red cedar are ample
protection against the operations OF
the moth. The government says so in
report which comes from the agricul-
tural department. These chests must
be secure and tight in every respect.
Since ii is the odor Of the red cedar
which kills the young moths, care must
be taken TO prevent the escape of the
odOr. This is accomplished by seeing
that tie joints are all tight, and when
there is occasion to open the chest the
interior must not be exposed any
longer than is absolutely necessary.
