years, even after her marriage, the
young oma kept a little grave COW
cred with flowers, that bore the
simple words: martha, aged five
months and three days"
The war brought her neighbors so
many sorrows that Martha's trouble
was forgotten, the years passed and
only the old people of the community
know about the little grave beside
the judges and their little boys.
Jimmy Purdy grew into a smooth
faced. unwrinkled. rather blank-eyed
old man, clerking in the bookstore for
a time, serving as city clerk for
20 years, and later living at the Palace
hotel on his pension. He worshiped
Aunt Martha's children, but he never
saw her except when they met in some
casual way. She vas married when
he came back from the war, and if
he ver knew her agony he never
spoke of il.
One DAY they found him dead in
his BED. And Miss Larrabee hurried
out to Aunt Martha's to get the facts
about his life for the paper. 1t was
a bright October morning as she went
up the walk TO the old brick house.
and she heard someone playing on the
piano, rolling the chords after the
grandiose ann of pianists 80
years ago. A voice seemed to be sing
ing an old ballad. AS the girl mount
ed the steps the voice came more dis
tinctly to her. 1t was quavering end
insure, but with a moan of passion
the words came forth:
"As l lay my heart on your dead
heart-Dcuglas,
Douglas, Douglas, tender and true"
Suddenly the voice choked with a
groan. AS she stood by the open door
Miss Larrabee could see in the dark
ened room the figure of an old woman,
racked with sobs on a great mahog-
any sofa, and on the floor beside her
lay a daguerreotype. glinting its gilt
and glass through the gloom.
The girl tiptoed across the porch,
down the steps, through the garden.
and out of the gate.

parties in the brick house, it's all up
with them--they are old married
folks, and the next step takes them to
the old folks whist club, where the
bankers wives and the insurance
widows run things. That is the inner
sanctuary, the holy of holes in the
society of this town."
"Tilat reminds me Of the Win
throps. When they came here, back
in the sixties, it happened to be
Fourth of July, and the band was out
playing in the grove by the depot.
Mrs. Winthrop got off the train quite
grandly and bowed and waved her
hand to the band, and the Judge
walked over and gave the band leader
five dollars. They said afterward that
they felt deeply touched to find a raw
western town so appreciative of the
coming of an old New England fam
lily, that it greeted them with a band.
Before Mrs. Winthrop had been here
three weeks she called on me, 'as one
Of the first ladies of the town. she
said, &c organize and see if we
couldn't break up the habit of the
hired girls eating at the table with
the family"
The talk drifted back to the old
days, and Aunt Martha got out he"
photograph-albuGl and showed Miss
Larrabee the pictures of those whom
she called "the rude f%orefathers of
the village" in their quaint old cos
tunes of war-times. In the book were
baby pictures of middle-aged men and
women, and youthful pictures of the
old men and women of the town. But
most interesting of all to Miss LARA
bee were the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
old portraits in their little black
boxes, framed in plush and gilt. The
old brought out picture after
picture-her husbands among the
others, in a broad beaver hat with a
high choker taken back in Brattleboro
before he came to Kansas. She
looked at it for a long minute. and
then said gayly to Miss Larrabee:

watch the little tads grow up spd
pair off and see how bravely they try
to keep in the swim. I've seen ten
grandchildren get out and I've a great
g%randchild whose mother will be
pushing her out before she is old
enough TO know anything. Wien
young people get married they all say
they're not going to be old-marriedly,
and they hang on to the dances and
little hops until the first baby comes.
Then they don't get out to the dances
much, but they join a card club"
In her dissertation on the social
progress of young married people.
Aunt Martha explained that after the
second year the couple go only to the
big dances where everyone is invited,
but they pay more attention to cards.
The young mother begins going to
afternoon parties, and has the other
young married couples in for dinner.
Then, before they know 1t, they are
invited out to receptions and parties,
where little tads preside at the punch
bowls and wait on table, and are seen
and not heard. Aunt Martha con-
tinued:
"By the time the second baby comes
they take one of two shoots-either
go in for church socials or edge into
a whist club.
Aunt Martha's eyes danced with the
mischief in her heart as she went on
"Now, if after the second baby comes,
the young parents begin to feel like

keep on improving their home, NOV

to creep into lists of directors at the
bank, and they are invited out to the
big parties, and she goes to all the
stand-up and 'gabble-gobble-and-git
receptions. AS they grow older, they
are asked with the preachers and
widows for the first night of a series
of parties at a house to get them out

her hand and went on opening the
others. She came to one showing a
mustached and goateed youth in a
captains uniform-a slim, straight,
soldierly figure. AS she passed it to
Miss Larrabee Aunt Martha looked
sidewise at her, saying: you wouldn't
know him now Yet you see him
every day, l suppose" After the girl
shook her head, the elder woman con
tinued: "Well that's Jim Purdy,
taken the day he left for the army"
She sighed as she said: Let me see,
l guess l haven't happened to run
across Jim for ten years or more, but
he didn't look much like this then.
Poor old Jim, they tell me he's not
having the best time in the world.
Miss Larrabee came down the lilac
bordered walk from the stately old
brick house, carrying a great bouquet
of sweet peas and nasturtiums and
peoples and phloX, a fleeing memory
of some association she had in her
mind of Uncle Jimmy Purdy and
Aunt Martha kept tantalizing her.
She could not get it out of the back
ground of her consciousness, and yet
it refused to form itself into a tan
gible conception. 1t was associated
vaguely with her own grandmother,
as though, infinite ages ago, her
grandmother had said something that
had lodged in the girls head.
When the occasion made itself,
Miss Larrabee asked her grand
mother the question that puzzled her,
and learned that Martha Perkins and
Jim Purdy were lovers before the
war, and that she was wearing his
ring when he went away-thinking
he would be back in a few weeks with

in the hospital for a year, demented

dementia returned and he stayed there
two years. Then for a year after his
exchange he followed the Union
army like a dumb creature, and not
until two years after the close Of the
war did the poor fellow drift home
again, as one from the dead-all un-
certain of the past and untitled for
the future.

USE OF WOOD RELIEVES COAL
SHORTAGE

From the reports received by the
Forestry Division of the State De-
partment of Conservation and Devel-
opment, the existing coal shortage is
showing one redeeming feature in that
it has stimulated interest in the use
of wood as fuel on the part of both
onsume and producers. A survey
of conditions throughout the state
shows that in many sections consum-
ers have saved considerable amounts
on their fuel bills by using wood in
place of the rare and costly anthra-
cite.
Speaking of this increased use of
wood for fuel, State Forester c. P.
WILDER warns the owners of woodland
against the unwise cutting of imma-
ture timber or the removal of all trees
where part of the stand should be left.
Such methods, he says, are unneces-
sary and unwise for the owner and
unfortunate for the state. On the
other hand, many woodland owners
have been enabled to meet this de-
mand for cordwood at a profit to
themselves and, by practicing forestry,
have used timber which would not
have been more valuable for other
purposes. In many instances the
woodland has actually been improved
by the removal of dead or inferior
and crowding trees, thus giving the
more valuable species an opportunity
for more rapid growth.
Tests have shown that a cord of
heavy wood, such as oak, hickory,
beech, birch or sugar maple, has the
same heating value as a ton of coal,
while a cord of lighter woods, such as
chestnut or pine, is the equivalent
of 2-3 or a ton of coal. Thus, since
the average price of wood is SIS per
cord, coal must sell for from SIS to
S12 per ton delivered to be as cheap.
1t is estimated by the department
that if all of New Jerseys two mil
lion acres of woodland were handled
in accordance with approved forestry
methods, at least 100000 cords of
wood could be cut, equal in heating
value to at least 10000 tons of
anthracite coal. The remaining tim
Der would then grow from 5 to III
times as fast.-Issued by the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment of New Jersey.

TRIM YOUR FRUIT TREES NOW

DR.. Krouse, state veterinarian, rep
%resenting the State Bureau of Animal
Industry, tested the County Farm herd
last week and as a result of the test
condemned one of the COWS as being
affected with tuberculosis in its first
stages. The COW condemned will be
slaughtered under the supervision
of the state veterinarian and the use
of the carcass will depend upon the
state of the disease found. Where in
dividual farmers have their herds
tested the state and U. S. Department
of Agriculture stand for from one-half
to three-quarters of the loss of ami
mails condemned. AS soon as the
state tests show the absence of tuber-
culosis for a certain length of time,
the herd becomes known as accredited.
There are many accredited herds
through the state and the state depart
ment is busy following up requests for
the tuberculosis testing work.
The Fruit Project Committee, COM
posed of DR.. julius Way, Allison Lud-
lam, VIM H. Powell, Norman Taylor
and Milton Godfrey, met January 4th
and partially decided some of the fruit
work to be carried out in 1923. Stress
was placed on getting co~-operators
who are willing to keep thorough rec
ords in the control of sooty fungus,
apple scab and bitter rot spraying
demonstrations.
All day pruning demonstrations
were also mentioned as being the
logical way to teach farmers how to
prune their trees. 1t was feared by
some of the members of the committee
that where the specialist and county
agent do the pruning the fruit grower
does not really get the idea. He must
learn by doing.
The fruit specialist stated that on
siderable improvement could be made
in the grape culture of Cape May
County and that he had already pruned
by the single arm Kniffen system sew
eral rows of grapes on the Powell
farm at Swainton. These will be for
inspection of those who are interested
in grape culture.
r. P. Armstrong, assistant professor
in horticulture, makes the following
statement regarding grapes and rasp-
berries: Concord is the standard blue
grape of the East and promises to
hold it's position for sometime. Very
promising new white varieties for
home use are Ontario and Portland.
The former will probably be a good
market variety if one wishes to grow
a white grape" In answer to a re-
quest for promising varieties of rasp-
berries, he writes: "King and Donboro
are promising varieties of raspberries.
They are single troopers and pro-
ductive. They should be given a trial
before heavy planting. King will
probably be at its best in the heavier
type of SOIL"
The Fruit Committee agreed that
comparatively little pruning had been
done in Cape May County in spite of
the open winter. They recommended
more pruning of apples and peaches,
also spraying of peaches to get the
best of the work before spring.

will take their places? That is the
question.
/ believe it is time for we farmers to
come to a halt with one accord and
say we positively refuse not only to
pay the several taxes imposed upon us
for delivering produce to the trade,
but at the same time refuse to deliver
a pound of the necessities of life from
our farms to the markets, citizens and
lawmakers of our land; by so doing
it would make a revolution in the tide
of commerce and would cause the
markets and citizens, when they get
hungry. to come to our farms to get
the necessities of life, and then under
the present law they would have these
numerous taxes to pay for the accom-
modations of the farmers, as we have
been doing for them for many years,
and then we would see how the shoes
fit them.
Farming would then be an honor
able and independent business.
There is no common sense in letting
our farms get away from us and in
tlC ndIuS VI 1hOLOpOlICo just DCCduSC
we will not try to think for ourselves.
We are to blame for these conditions
entirely. We should not expect some
one to look out for us, but do the look
ing for ourselves before it is too late.
Many loads of produce this year
have been delivered to the different
markets that would only pay these
taxes and transportation, not leaving
enough to pay for loading on trucks
to say nothing of the expense of plant
ing, growing and harvesting.
This experience should arouse every
farmer, and if we get together we can
change this miserable condition in less
than one week; that stands for only
seven days. l hope we haven't any
farmers so faint hearted that they
would not hold out for seven days to
improve conditions and get the help
so badly needed at this time.

subject when he undertakes to band
all farmers to reverse in a short space
of time the marketing customs of a
century. He feels that the farmers
work is completed when the food
products are raised or grown on the
farm and the consuming public should
then take upon themselves the bust
ness of getting these farm commodi-
ties into their markets and larders.
Farm products are almost wholly
p%erishable. They must be moved
