BUY FERTILIZER AND
SEEDS COMPARATIVELY
Over 400 Tons of Fertilizer and 40
Tons of Field Seeds Ordered.

The largest comparatively buying
project ever conducted in Orleans
county closed January 18th. A total
of 410 tons of fertilizers and 40 tons
of seeds were ordered through the
Farmers Exchange, which in turn
has ordered with other farmers or
CARNATIONS of New England in the
large fertilizer pool conducted by the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange.
The farmers ordering fertilizers
through the pool are saving from SO
to $25 per ton from what they would
have to pay regular fertilizer agents
for goods of similar analysis. Of the
total order of 41O tons, all but 20
tons were chemicals for home-mixing.
By adopting this practice farmers
are sure to use high quality goods.
They save freight charges and cart
age on filler of which there is a large
amount in the low grades of ready
mixed goods, and furthermore each
farmer. no matter how small his or
der, shares the attractive prices OBJ

tanned by purchasing in large quanti-

ties. -
The seeds purchased through the
Exchange are of the very best quality
obtainable. The timothy, clover and
red top seeds bear extra high purity
tests, and high termination percent
ages are guaranteed on seed corn.
The varieties of oats and corn or
dered are, in almost every case, var
ieties which have stood high in tests
conducted by the Farm Bureau dur
ing past seasons.
That the cooperative buying activi-
ties of the county are not entirely
confined to seeds and fertilizers is
shown by the fact that since July 1st,
farmers have purchased through the
Exchange SO carloads of grain, all
but three of which have been unload
ed. Ten carloads of lime are now be-
ing booked for different shipping
points and others will be made up
later. Local men are helping a great
deal with the work and much credit is
due them for the success Of the CO.
operative buying project.

Quien Sabe. Charles Scribner;e Sons.
n UIEN SABE has written of q
III vampire who outdoes Theda
~ Bara in her most vampid OF
vampiotic moments. His heroine is a
descendant of the old Montezumas.
In addition to inheriting the Aztec
treasure she inherits their cruelty
and their magic arts. A puma is her
principal playmate. She has a dream
of reconquering her ancestors do
minions. To do this she needs two
things-gold and strong men. Her
cousin, Ruiz Rios, told her about
Headlong Jim Kendric and she set
out to ensnare him. Jim was i'm
mune to the lures of sea and of gold
and he resisted her Circean enchant-
ments. However. her power over
men was so great that she captured
Trusty Barlow and Bruce Kent in
her web, and it seemed for a time
that she was irresistible. There is
very slight character drawing in this
story. but one surprise follows upon
another with so much rapidity that
the reader becomes interested in the
hero's battles to extricate himself.

THE YEAR OF DELIGHT. BY Mar
garet Widde,ner. Harcourt, Brace
6 Co.
|"HE writer Of this story takes
a liberty with her heroine by
- making pun upon her name
for a title. Apparently the author
was so impressed with the facn that
her young heroine, called Delight,
was an orphan and had to do as she
was told and submit to whatever
within Of the moment occurred to her
spiritual pastors and masters that
she fell into the same unworthy
habit. But Delights story is quaint
and amusing enough. which seems
to be due to the vaulting magma
ton of the author. who supposes
next TO impossible set Of circum-
stances and details them with breath
less haste, and all the way through
apparently restraining herself from
bursting into shriells of glee at the
surprising quality Of her narrative.
1t takes all kinds Of stories to make
n modern literature. and as the old
lady said about this world and the
queer people in it. "They all get in"
Delight was girl who had spent
her whole childhood in an orphan
asylum, which pretended to be less
terrible than such institutions are
apt to be; and the girl, who was a
perfectly human young creature.
who longed for little fun and free
dom, became very tired of wearing
gray alpaca frocksNit was strongly
insisted on that the dress was not a
uniform, because the girls had n
choice of red or black braid for trim

vately decided that if ever she
reached another plane of existence
she would never wear gray frock
again. And when she was nearly

ready for divorce. She shrank from
a repetition of the same experience"
But Martina is our chief interest.
She is going through the problems of
every young woman waking from
the period of accepting things as
they happen into the period between
youth and middle age. when one
analyses and demands proof. But
the story is not spoiled by a lecture
on Martina's feelings and lodgings.
Oh, no! You live with Martina, and
You scrap with her when she and
Beulah have their married tiffs"
Shall she stay at home or take an
Office job? She puts off the decision
by writing occasional verse for the
back page of THE SUN to earn the
small Injuries she loved, such rs silk
stockings, flowers. gloves and thea
ter tickets. For she was sure of
enough TO eat. The reader is not
required to pity the poor working
girl. But the working girl has her
share OF the novelists' attention. And
there Is enough interest in the apart
ment house where Martina and her
friends live without going down
town"
Some CT the ideas her friends
express i'm their advice to her are
applicable to other lives. More than
one woman will find her own prob
lens worked out here.
Martina's married friend Emme-
line says to her: You're a great
| deal happier free. even If you do
have to be called an old maid. de-
clare New York is the paradise of
unmarried women. They belong to
clubs and go around and have a good
time-earn good salaries and spend
their money on clothes and go out
to theaters and concerts and restau-
rants. It's funny, but no matter how
old they are, some man'll take them
| around-for their company. I sup
pose. And I will say n lot of them
are good company"
Miss Blatchford testifics on the
same subject. "Take those like my
self: If we'd stayed in our New Eng
land villages or our Middle Western
towns we'd be fiddling around. trying
to fill our lives-sneered OF for being
old maids and laughed at for trying
to upiift something-establish plants
for garbage disposal or fountains for
dogs and horses. In New York we're
just active, useful women, enjoying
life to the utmost and getting enough
congenial society and diversion to
make anybody contented."
The eigers of advice don't slight

married people. Mrs. Robbins re-
marks: People don't have privacy
enough. They need to get away
alone and think. A man in an ordi-
nary apartment hardly ever has a
place where he can put anything or
sit alone or express his individuality.
The woman usually has the apart
ment pretty much to herself during
the day. but the man finds it clut-
tered when he comes home at night.
The family life Expresses him. 1t
irritates him in spite of himself
sometimes without his knowing what
is the matter. And then the worst
OF it is that a good many women
aren't willing to let their husbands
and children have any privacy.
They feel terribly hurt if the hus.
band wishes to sit in a room by him.

women don't lore enough. You don't
really love a person until you are
willing to keep from elutching at
him. strangling him with your sense
Of possession. It's the curse of mar
riage. You have to loose him and
let him 60"
And all the time Martina was hav.
ing great old time in little old New
York. and deciding whether she was
going to marry Gilbert-or not.
Beulah wants to marry him. And
it's quite a tangle and flare of
women's wits and tempers. OF
course it is most sedate, with no
hair pulling.
You are going to like it. You can't
help liking it. no matter what your
age is or your ideas on life or your
business. Martina is girl who sees
New York through the eyes of an
outsider. who glories in it and helps
the native to find a new interest in
the old burg. For life doesn't slip
through her fingers; she demands
and gets from it abundance.
