Dick turned to the seefhing
creature on the pavement as he
heard the tinkle Of the sing
against the floor Of the car, and
answered deliberately, There are

Rhoda stood staring after the
disappearing roadster as though
she had taken root. Could it
be possible Dick was going to
give her up so easily? Her mind
and body seemed almost paralyzed
with the suddenness Of It all.
She went slowly up the walk
and was about to let herself in
when she heard voices in the

"She is domineering and some

She sought the shelter of the
summer house in the garden and
burst into tears. What could she
have done to precipitate this
earthquake which had SO shaken
her life?
"Oh, mother, DEAR" she moaned,

A pair of strong young arms
lifted her from the couch upon

TELL THESE AT
DINNER

The landlord OF b hotel In q
country town had invited two or
three OF his friends 10 stay after
closing time and partake OF sup
per and liquid refreshments
The proceedings, which termi-
mated at about 3 o'clock in the
morning, were OF a distinctly lively
character.
Before permitting his friends to
depart, the host called a newly
engaged Swiss waiter into the
room, and said to him:
"Just walk to the end Of the
road and see If there Is a police
man about"
The waiter hurried off and he
returned at the end Of five min
utes, flumed and triumphant, and
with a majestic wave of the hand
ushered into the bar grim-looking
inspector.
Excuse me, SIR" the polite
Swiss said to the landlord, ''ze
poliss was not at ne corner, so I
run to 20 station and fetch the in
spector."
Bridget, the maid, approached
her mistress.
"Oi would loike a weeks holi-
day, Miss Eileen" she said. "Oi
wants to be married"
Her mistress gave her a weeks
holiday, white dress, a veil and
a cake.
At the end of the week Bridget
returned.
''Oh. Miss Eileen" she .exclaim-
ed, ''Oi was the most lovely bride!
Me dress was perfect, me veil

MIR. Kings Hour
The house was one OF those
places that dot the shores Of the
Sound; acres OF lawns, a boat
house. tennis courts, arbors and
perfect services gave, it the air
OF country club rather than a
private estate.
To Mr.. King It served az a
kind OF resting nook after his
strenuous days in Wall Street;
he liked the quiet and the cool
ness, though Of late he had got
ten more OF the latter than the
former.
On this particular afternoon he
felt in special need OF relaxation.
and as the car whirled up the
long drive ana the breadth of the
water struck his nostrils he
sighed and imagined himself as
having q perfect hour with a
cigar and silent contemplation.
The chauffeur stopped the car
and Mr.. King sauntertd into the

He had lighted his cigar and
composed himself confortahIv

JACKLING SATISFIED WITH
OPERATIONS AT BABBlTT

D. c.. Jackling, the celebrated
copper man and head of the enter
prise at Babbitt, was at the plant
several days a week ago. In speak
ing of the Babbitt proposition he
told Skilling's Review man:
"We are pleased with our opera
tions thus far at Babbitt We are
satisfied with the general principles
involved as to treatment, and are
gratifed with the product. There
have been some delays, and some
problems have taken longer to solve
than we at first expected, but every,
thing is working out all right. We
expect to see the plant develop in
to a large enterprise. We are max.
ing plans to increase capacity OF
the plant as rapidly as circum.
stances will permit. Developments
will not be as extensive this year
perhaps as next year. But we shall
increase production very materially
this year. Production of sinter fo1
the present month of May will
amount to 1000 to- 5000 tons. By
the end of this year we shall bt
producing from $4,000 to 10000
tons per month. We are increasing
sintering capacity and fine grinding
facilities to that end We feel that tn,
plant at Babbitt has been demons
trated to be a success, and while i
is not yet on a profitable basis, W.
are not disappointed in that re
spect. A new enterprise of thi
character requires time and mucl
experiment, but we are entirely sat
isfied with results, and confident o
the future of the enterprise"

STEEL TELLS STORY OF
BUSINESS REVIVAL

There is no better index of bust
ness than the steel industry. Steel
is basic commodity and strength
of the demand for this product
shows which way the wind blows in
all lines of business.
At present this wind seems to be
in a favorable direction, according
to P. D. Block, president of the In
land Steel company. Mills are run
ming at around 80 per cent, the
highest rate in years and, consider
ing wartime expansion, the highest
in history ss.,anr,s -. ,1sj-.
While the demand, for steel is
lessening somewhat, this is accred-
tied to the fact that producers are
booked so far ahead that prompt
deliveries are impossible. In fact,
in many lines producers are booked
to the end of the year.
1t will be remembered that dur
ing the war period, the demand for
steel reached peak which proved
a surprise to every one connected
with the industry.
1t may be realized, then, how
strong the present demand is when
it is taken into consideration that
during March of this year, the war
record production was exceeded.
Reports just issued show that the
steel ingot production in April was
over 100000 tons larger than the
average month, and the highest in
history. /.
This is all the more re-assurine
when it is considered that the de
mand rests upon a solid basis.
Much of the steel now manufac
tured is going into building. Fac
tories, stores, offices and dwelling.
are being erected in every city anc
town. Efforts are being made tt
keep prices from soaring.
Such news as that which comes
from the steel industry has salutar!
effect. It is optimistic, and it il
not forced optimism.

DISABLED SOLDIER SETTLE
MENT AT MOOSE LAKE, MINI

The U. S. Veterans Bureau, C.
D. Hibbard, District Manager, Min
neapolis, has under its supervision
about six hundred disabled soldiers
who are taking vocational training
in agriculture. These men plan to
own and operate small farms of
their own, the size of the farm de-
pending largely upon the mans
physical condition. To further this
end, a number of them have formed
farm colonies at several places in
Minnesota.
The largest of these, settlements
is at Moose Lake, Minnesota. There
is one soldier colony in the United
States that is larger. 1t is located
in the, Imperial Valley, in Califor-
MIA, and has sixty-two men, where
as the Moose Lake settlement con-
tains fifty-two men.
The settlement at Moose Lake
differs from the ones at Orchard
Gardens and Veteransville in that
the men are not settled in one COM
pact body composed exclusively of
disabled men. These men have
bought small farms, here and there,
near the town, but among Acther
farmers who have been settled
there for years.
These soldier boys plan to, en-
gage in general farming, on small
scale, paying special attention to
dairying and poultry raising. Then
slogan is ''forty-acres, five cows
500 hens and independence"
There are many advantages II
the Moose Lake settlement. This
land is partly cleared, and otter
! has other improvements. The mer
are not segregated by themselves
nor are they isolated. They hav'
simply become an integral part o
an older and settled community o
farmers, rather pioneers. There
| already an established market TO
their products. This is particular
ly true of poultry products as thu

ant markets in the large mining
towns on the Missabe Iron Range
and the ports Of the Great Lakes.
There are good roads, schools,
rural mail delivery, churches, fra
ternal lodges, a Legion Post, and
the neighborliness of older farmers
to cheer and encourage them. 1t
is worth a great deal to disabled
men to become members of thriv-
ing community right at the start,
where social, religious, educational
and other activities are on a going
basis.
These men settled here because
they were genuinely interested in
farming and did not relish the idea
of becoming just farm hands when
they had completed their agricul-
tural training. They would be
obliged to become farm employees
unless they owned land of their
own.
They bought their small zone
man" farms on the installment plan,
making small payment down, and
small monthly payment, usually
$50. Buildings and equipment, ex-
cept for $500 worth Of the latter
which is furnished them free by the
u. s. Veterans Bureau, is being
procured on the same plan.
They are enabled to do this be-
! cause the Veterans Bureau gives
each man a maintenance allowance
during the period of his training.
This varies from $50 to $170 per
month according to the location and
number of the mans dependents.
By the time his training is finished
he should have his property prac-
tically paid for and his farm pro-
ducing an income. If he should
have an unpaid balance, when his
training is completed, it will be
converted into a long time loan on
his productive farm, and slowly
amortized.
The selection, clearing and cul.
tivation of these farms is carefully
supervised by experts from the Vet.
erans' Bureau. And in order that
these ex-service men may start
herds of cattle and flocks of poul
try, as well as continue to make
improvements, they are not re-
quired to leave their farms to at
tend the agricultural school. Or
the contrary, the Veterans Bureau
has provided instruction for then
on the project. There are two in
structors who instruct the man il
theory and in practice, right al
their homes all the year round.
