A log fell forward and Joan lifted
her head. She had not come to an end
Of Isabella's tragedy nor of her own
memories, but something other than
the falling log had startled her; a
light, crunching step upon the snow.
She looked toward the window. For
an instant the room was almost dark

not make him look like that. Besides,

In her life she knew the paralysis of

opened and Pierre came in out Of the

Growers and Shippers
OF Florida Organized
For Fight With Roads

ORLANDO, Fla, Dec. 22.-One Of
the most forward-looking organiza-
tions ever created in Florida took
permanent form here yesterday
when the Growers and Shippers
League of Florida was transformed
from a tentative into a permanent
body.
The creation OF the organization
was significant from the standpoint
that in recent years this is the first
time a statewide cooperative body
in the citrus and vegetable industry
has been brought in being.
1t grew out Of a temporary joint
ure of interests, organized last sum.
mer to make the three-hoop and re-
frigeration fight against the car
riers.
L. B. Skinner, Of Dunedin, was
elected the leagues first president;
Frank Kay Anderson. Of this city,
secretary, and S. o. Chase, of San
ford, treasurer.
The organization was launched
with forty-siX members, composed OF
leading shipping organizations, rep.
resentative of IS per cent Of the
states citrus interests.
Its work will be confined to trans.
portation issues. and a highly paid
expert traffic manager will be en-
ployed. The newly formed body. it is
said, will stand between the citrus
interests Of the state AMI the Car.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

dulge in a few of the luxurles they
have had to deny themselves while
they were raising and educating
their children.
Another illustration of how little
children regard the rights Of their
parents you may see in their nom
chaIance with which young mothers
turn over their children to their
own mothers.
When Sally wants to go to a
bridge luncheon or Maud wants to
take a trip, they dump their chill
dren down on mother. When Clara
bell wants to go to Europe for the
summer, she doesn't worry at all as
to what to do with the children. She
leaves them, with q thousand in
structions as to diet and clothes, and
manners and morals, with mother.
So that in innumerable families
mother eComes nothing but az sort
of universal nursemaid.
1t would shock these daughters
to be told what a mean, selfish thing
they do in not standing by and do
ing their own baby tending as moth'
er did hers. They, themselves, know
what it is to walk the colic-What
broken nights mean. how incessant
must be the care given little chill
dren-how nerve-racking children's
noise is. Yet they foist this burden
on mother without pang of com
junction because they are so used
to seeing her doing everything for
them.
1t never occurs to them that she
would like to fold her hands in a
little peace and rest; furthermore
that she has earned it by bringing
up on family, and her daughters
haven't any right to make her sub
stitute ON raising another one.
Then there are the children who
lay their matrimonial burdens on
their parents.
John gets married before he is
earning enough to support family
Susie marries a ne'er-do-well, in
spite of all efforts to prevent it. Fan
ny discovers that the man to whom
she lis married is not her sOulmate
and gets a divorce, and comes back
home with two or three children.
None of these selfish young PEG
| pie, bent on gratifying their own
desires, considers fathers and moth
er's rights in the matter, yet the
parents, in the end, are the real sac
rifices.
They can't let John and his wifi
and children starve, and SO the
money that father and mother ha!
saved up for their old age goes il
pittances to help him along. The!
can't shut the door in Fanny's fac
when she comes back with her di
vorce and her orphaned chill
dren, so father works harder, an
mother pinches and economies NOR
to raise and educate this second fam
ilX that their children have throw
upon them.
Surely there is no other thing tina
children need to realize so much a
that their parents have some rights
Perhaps if they understood this, an
that after man and a woman hav
raised a family of children they hav
right to peace and quiet and thei
own money, there would be feWe
parasitic sons and daughters.
Perhaps. if they realized that par
ents had rights, more young peopl
would consider how their marriage
would react on their parents, an
many a disgruntled wife would carr
on with a marriage that wasn't pei
fectly Congenial rather than burde
her old parents with her own an
her children support.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON ". BURGESS

had no suspicion whatever that any
one who could harm them was near.
And all the time the hunter with
the terrible gun across his knees sat
motionless on an old log and watched
them. Jumper didn't know what to
make Of it. 1t was new experience
to Jumper.
For the matter of that, it was a
new experience to that hunter. If
he had stopped to think about it he
wouldn't have known what to think
Of it himself. For the first time since
he bad first had a gun he had no
desire to XIII. The longer he sat there
and watched Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse
the more Interested In them he be-
came. He forgot that he had a gun.
For the first time he was really see-
ing the birds he had so often tried
to shoot. For the first time he was
learning the meaning of real sport.
"Thcy think they are all by them
selves" said he to himself with a
noiseless chuckle. "They haven't the
least idea in the world that they are
being watched. I am having chance
10 see them just as they are at home.
My, they are handsome!'
Just then way off in the distance
there was a bang Of a terrible gun.
Instantly Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse were
up on their feet with heads helu high,
while they listened and looked leenly
in all directions. Then as if they
had settled in their own minds that
that danger was far, far away, they
once more settled down to their dust
bath. The hunter smiled, and Jump
er the Hare couldn't help thinking
that it was a pleasant smile. Truly
it was a strange scene.

Food Value of the Horse or Jack
Bean

w. A. NJ, Arab, Ca, writes:
am sending you sample of
bean. Please let me know what
food value, if any, they have for
cow feed. How do they compare
with velvet beans ground alone
and with the pods?
The bean sent into us appears to
be one of the strains of the horse
bean or jack bean. These beans
have been cultivated more or less
sporadically throughout the country
from time to time. They have not
made good in a general way as a
field crop, however, except proba-
bly, in southern California. This bean
is cultivated to some extent in Eng
land. 1t is chiefly valuable as a
source Of protein. No doubt it cor
responds in composition to the navy
bean. 1t is quite likely that it will
show Is to % per cent of digestible
protein, so per cent of carbohydrates.
and from 8 to 2 per cent of fat. 1t
would have somewhat the same feed
ing value then as cowpeas. 1t con-
tains more than one-half as much
protein as the soy bean and 60 per
cent as much as a fair-grade of cot
tonseed meal.
We believe there are many legumes
which can be cultivated in Georgia
for food purposes with greater ad-
vantage. We would personally give
preference to soy beans, cowpeas, or
velvet beans. Velvet beans, when
shelled, produce fair quality Of meal.
This meal can be combined with
corn meal on the basis of equal parts
and provide a fairly satisfactory ra-
ton for dairy COWS. Velvet bean
meal does not seem specially we'll
adapted as a food for horses or
mules. if the pods are ground with
the beans, it is important that re-
grinding be undertaken. This is due
to the fact that the pod of the velvet
bean is exceedingly hard, and unless
it is very finely ground. it may irri.
tate the alimentary tract. Velvet
bean meal or velvet beans ground
with the pod does not seem to be
specially well adapted to feeding to
young pigs. Illuminating animals
handle the beans to somewhat bet
ter advantage. Velvet bean meal is
valuable, from our point of view, as
an amendment in the ration fed on
the average farm. According to our
experience and observation, the best
results will always follow the use of
not over onefourth to one-third of
velvet beans in mixtures Of concen-
trated feed to wor kstoc, or rumi-
mating animals.

We ne'er suspect how often we
Are watched by those We do not see.
Jumper the Hare.
Strange things are to be seen at
times in the Green Forest. Every one
of the little people who live there can
tell you this. But no stranger sight
was ever seen than that which Jump
err the Hare saw early one October
morning from his favorite hiding
place. At least that is what Jumper
thinks.
He had seen a hunter with a terri.
BILE gun seat himself on a log and
wait. He had seen handsome Mr..
Grouse alight just a short distance
from that hunter, and he had seen
that hunter lift this terrible gun and
point it at Mr.. Grouse. There was
nothing strange in this. Jumper had
seen things like this before. But
that hunter hadn't fired the terrible
gun. He had sat pointing it for a
moment or two, and then slowly
taken it down and rested it across
his knees. After this he had sa.
there for "a long time, watching Mr..
Grouse.
After a while there had been the
whirr of another pair of stout wings
and Mrs. Grouse had joined Mr..
Grouse. Together they had moved
over beneath a big beech tree and
begun to pick up beechnuts. Not for
an instant did th4y fail to be watch
full. They knew that the terrible
hunting season was on. They didn't
miss the rustic of a leaf. If leaf
fluttered down from a tree their
heads were Up instantly, and they
listened ard watched to make sure
that that rustic was not warning
of danger. Yet all the time hunte:
with a terrible gun was watching
them. He could have killed them at
any time, but he didn't even lift his
terrible gun again. Do you wonder
that Jumper thought this the strang'
est thing he had ever seem
Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse continued to

that father and mother might like
to speld some of the money they
earn on themselves and in gratifying
their own desires.
And, curiously enough, even after
they have grown to mans and wom-
ans. estate, the great majority OF
people still hold to this point Of view
about their parents. In regulating
their lives, they do not take their
parents rights into consideration.
They do not say, MY f<ther and
mother have sacrificed enough for
me; they have done enough, for me.
Now I will stand on my own feet,
and be as little burden as possible
to them"
OF course, the most fragrant Illus
tration of this is found in the loafer
sons and daughters who let their old
parents work and support them. We
all know husky, able bodied young
men who play golf while father
slaves in an office, and strapping big
girls who perform on the piano while
mother is performing on the gas
range.
Apparently, it never crosses the
mind of these despicable young peo-
pie that after they are old enough
to support themselves they have no
right to sponge upon their parents,
and graft their living off them. Still
less do they ever think that mother
and father would like to take things
easier as they grow older, and in
