Hubert caught q severe cold
through walking on West Central
pavements in silk socks, but that
did not prevent him from going to
a party given by Lady Peters
father the next day. Lady Peters
father was one of those dim MOL
luscular forces that loom behind
cabinets. Nobody knows quite
why they are there, but from their
shy, dark movements come those
impulses that make a great major
ity What it is. Lady Peters father
was, in fact, power behind the
throne.
Hubert tried to tank his way
into the neighborho6d of Lady
Peters father; but there were
about him so many young men
who knew that one day they must
be at least lords of the treasury,
that the feat was impossible. He
sat down beside Lady Peter in
stead, and after rather nervous
opening about the weather and the
latest play, Hubert suddenly found
himself mentioning his ambitions.
If, he told her, he could ever
get a chance of doing anything in
the Colonial Office line-then he'd
show the nation. He was quite
willing to show the nation some
thing from the War Office or the
Admiralty, but it was only the
Colonial Office that had a vacancy
at the present moment.
He talked about it good deal.
How intensely he desired this po-
sition. What a chance it would
mean to him.
Lady Peter sat quietly and
palely listening. She was, on the
whole, a charming and even sedate
girl of no outstanding wickedness,
who sometimes gave way to rashes
of more than unwise recklessness.
She was supremely conscious of
the fact that this time she had
gone considerably more than too
far. II the episode of the night
club and her two companions got
out there would be the deuce to
pay. She listened to the one man
who could give her away with al
most painful attention. She re-
membered his reputation for clev-
erneSs.
A week later dense masses of
the only possible man for the job
learnt with dismay that this un-
known back-bencher, Hubert
Quogging, had got the Colonial
Office post.
From that moment Hubert be-
gan to haunt Lady Peter-and to
rise. There was no doubt that
Lady Peter had been the instru-
ment through which Hubert had
obtained his job, and Hubert
thought it only natural, in the cir
cumstances, to confide his further
ambitions.
He dropped in regularly to talk
over things with her, but never, so
regularly as when there was a new
position going. He used to say,
"You are so helpful, Lady Peter
You understand me, and what is
in me. feel can confide in you
as in nobody else. You, too, see

Suggestions to farmers on recon-

kept cool, and who delivers his pro-
duct at least three times a week in
warm weather and twice week in
winter will have little difficulty in
producing a good grade of cream,
the station dairymen say.
The best cream will be sweet or
only slightly sour, will be smooth
and clean, have a clean taste and
be free from all undesirable favors
and odors. Farmers can improve
their cream by studying their own
conditions and remedying those that
contribute toward the production of

BETTER CREAM MOVEMENT
GOING TO MANY COUNTIES

After successful starts in two
counties, plans Of creameries In the
state to buy cream on quality ba-
sis instead Of paying fiat rate for
all grades are expected to be devel-
oped rapidly in other counties of
the state, according to a report on
the project. Creamery men in Mer-
Ger and Mason counties already are
paying for cream on the basis of its
quality, while cream stations opera
tors in number of other counties
are being instructed in the grading
of cream and notified to pay more
for good quality products.
The cream grading movement is
the result of an increasing demand
from manufacturers for a better
grade of cream. In an effort to rem
edy the situation in its own locality,
one Louisville firm started a plan
to pay eight cents more a pound for
butterfat in sweet cream than lis
being paid for that in cream of av-
erage qality. So much low grade
cream has been marketed in Ken
lucky that the markets are over
crowed with a low score butter for
which there is little demand and for

NOTHING SLOW ABOUT THE
FARMER


Interest that for years exploited
the farmer, taking advantage of the
fact that he was slow to move-the
fact being he had no way of bring
ing in action to focus-are stun
ned at the rapidity with which he is
grasping the first real opportunity
he has had for business-hke, organ
ization. Already the Board of Di-
rectors of the National Live Stock
Producers Association have met
and have planned their course in
establishing cooperative commits
sion houses at the stockyards in
Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland,
Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. This will
not sit well ON the stomachs of the
packers, of course, but it is a stu
alton that must be faced and quick
ly.
The day of selling calf hide for
few paltry cents and buying it
back in the form of a pair of shoes
for $14 has passed, and the sooner
the fact is recognized the better.

planned markets have presented re-
quests for cooperate commission

The "simple life" Of simple man,
brethren, is when his chief care is
the wish to be what he ought to be.
This is honestlyand naturally hu-
man. We may compare existence to
raw aterial. What it is matters
less than what is made oft; as the
value of a work Of art lies in the
Towering of workman's skill. True
life is possible in social conditions
the most diverse, and with natural
gifts the ost unequal. 1t is not for
tune or personal advantage, but our
turning them to account. That con-
stitutes the valley of life. Fame
adds no more than does length of
days. Quality is the thing.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT

At the present time, when some
of the grave world problems are be-
ing solved, and when the dawn of a
happier day is dawning for mankind
it should be borne in mind that the
stability and prosperity of nations
and the people that comprise them
can exist only with the prictices of
thrift.
During the past three years there
have been countless plans suggest
ed or tried for the restoration Of
the economic balance and the estab-
lishment of social peace, but these
plans have been successful only in
the degree to which they have been
founded fundamentally on the prin-
cipls of thrift.
And better days are coming now,
because there is more and more a
worldwide manifestation among all
men to settle down and work and
save and thereby thrive.
Whatever may be the problems
confronting a nation, they are but
the composite of the problems that
daily affect the lives of the individ-
uals. They may be somewhat more
complex, but they are the same bas-
ically. The man who has been
through rough and bitter experience,
who has had his personal resources
seriously impaired, who finds him
self shocked and dazed after years
Of loss and bitter trials, must set
tie down to a systematic and care
fully ordered routine life.
He must recover from his losses
and regain his former prosperous
condition through careful planning,
hard work and systematic saving.
He can be helped only through these
simple methods Of restitution.
And in a larger and broader way
mankind is today going through just
this experience.
1t Is wen to bear in mind that the

same fundamental rules of progress
govern individuals and nations. This
fact should be kept in mind as we
read the trend of international
events in our newspapers from day
to day as well as when we plan and
work out the details of our personal
affairs.
The basis of sound economics
must be thrift whether it be for the
man, for the nation, or for all man
kind.-S. W. Strauss, President of
American Society for Thrift.

something definite has been learned
regarding cost finding for the far

business world will learn that the

and that he is business man who
has reached the turn of the road.

Property Sold
For Taxes.

A considerable amount Of pro-
pertT in this parish was sold for
taxes last Saturday. There were
a number of good buys. 1t is a pc
culiar fact that the major por-
ton of the property sold was re-
claimed lands, lands back of the
forty arpent line. The drainage
taxes, assessed against such pro
re. ty, make it quite a burden for
t.c5e owning, and many permit
ted the same to be forfeited. The
State had to adjudicate quite q
number of properties to itself,
ana the drainage districts in a
NJ mber of cases had the property
aG;udicated to itself in forfei-
ture.
People who forfeited property
have twelve months within which
to redeem the same, by paying
the tax, costs, penalty and twen-
ty per cent additional to those to
whom adjudicated.

Day Was
Generally Marked

Last Monday was Labor Day
ard it was generally marked
throughout the country. In all
cities there were parades. In New
Orleans the parade is said to
have been represented by ten
thousand marchers, ali from the
ranks Of labor. In this commu-
nifty public buildings closed, the
banks, and post Office suspended
business. We also noted that ma
ny laboring men, as well as pla-
ccs employing mechanics, and la
berers took the day off, which
was a departure from proceed
ing years. 1t seems but fair and
natural that laborers should at
least be willing to take this day
off and mark it in some manner.
