Eaton found his car better filed
than 1t had been before, for the people
shifted from the car behind had been
scattered through the train. Keeping
himself to his section, he watched the
car and outside the windows for
signs of what Investigation Connery
and Avery were making Whoever
had attacked Santolne must still be
upon the train, for no one could have
escaped through the snow. No one
could now escape. Avery and Connery
and whoever else was making investi
gat1oon with them evidently were not
letting anyone know that an investi-
CATION was being made. Eaton went
to lunch; on his way back from the

Eaton halted while he recalled the
exact wording Of the message. mo"
Connery paused and looked to
Avery and the girl. you'll wait a
minute, Mr.. Avery; and you, Miss
Santoine. I won't be long"
He left the washroom, and the
sound Of the closing of door which
came to Eaton half-minute later
told that he had gone out the front
end Of the car.
AS the three sat waiting in the
washroom, no one spoke. Eaton un-
derstood fully that the manner In
which the evidence against him was
being presented to him was not with
any expectation that he could defend
himself; Avery and Connery were OBJ
viously too certain of their conclusion
for that; rather as 1t was being
given thus under Avery'S direction, 1t
was for the effect upon Harriet San
tome and to convince her fully. But
Eaton had understood this from the
first. 1t was for this reason he had
not attempted to deny having rung
Santoine's bell. realizing that If he
denied 1t and 1t dfterward was
proved, he would appear in worse
light than by his inability to account
for or assign reason for his act
And he had proved right In this; for
the girl had not been convinced So
now he comprehended that something
far more convincing and more impor
tant was to come; but what that
could be, he could not guess.
The conductor appeared in the door
of the washroom followed by the Eng
lishman from Eaton's car, Henry Stan
dish. Connery carried the sheet on
which he had written the questions
swers.
"What name were you using, Mr..
Eaton, when you came from Asia to
the United States?" the conductor de-
manded.
Eaton reflected. "My own," he
said. "Philip D. Eaton"
"Mr. Standish"-Colnery faced the
Englishman-"you came from Yoko-
hama to Seattle on the Tamba Maru,
didn't you? Do you remember this

"How do you knowT'
The Englishman took folded pa

handed 1t to the conductor. Connery,
taking 1t, held it out to Eaton.
Here, Mr.. Eaton" he said, sis the
printed passenger list of the people
aboard the Tamba Maru prepared
after leaving Yokohama for distribu-
tion among the passengers. It's un-
questionably correct. VIII you point
out your name on it?"
Eaton made no move to take the
paper; and after holding 1t long
enough to give him full opportunity,
Connery handed 1t back to the Eng.
lishman.
THAT'S all, Mr.. Standish," he said.
Eaton sat silent as the Englishman,
after staring curiously around at them
with his bulging, interested eyes, left
the washroom.
Nov, Mr.. Eaton" Connery said, as
the sound of Standishs steps became
inaudible, "either you were not on the
| Tamba Maru or you were on 1t under
some other name than Eaton. Which
was it?"
II never said 1 was on the Tamba

You yourself supplied the name Tam

"1n case of questioning like that,
| Mr.. Eaton, 1t makes no difference
whether you said 1t or I supplied it
in your hearing. If you didn't correct
me, 1t was because you wanted me to
get wrong impression about you.

"You did come from Asia, though,

"Yes."
"From Yokohama2"
"The last port we stopped at before
sailing for Seattle was Yokohama-

Connery reflected. '"You had been

"Eleven days7' Eaton repeated.

"Ah you came on the Tamba

Connery made note Of this, as he
had made note of all the other ques-
lions and answers. Then he said
something to the Pullman conductor,
who replied in the same low tone {;
what they said was not audible to
Eaton.
"You can tell us at least where

suggested.

To the Publisher:
While attending the National Edu-
cational Association at Cleveland,
Ohio, last February, was invited to
have dinner at the Woman's City Club
of Cleveland. They have built mag
nificent club house and have MEM
bership Of 5000 women. In the lobby
hangs a map of the United States with
each state marked or pictured to rep
resent the leading industry. Delaware
was not marked at all.
When I visited Sunnyside, school
230, and heard the children in geo
graphy, we talked of the map and what
picture Delaware should have to rep
resent her leading industry. After that
the children sent me picture Of two
luscious Strawberries. sent them to
Cleveland. Later received the follow
ing letter from the city supervisor
whose guest at dinner I had been:
Dear Edith Barger:
The berries I gave to the girl at
the information desk. She thought
them lovely and said that she would
pass them on to those in authority to
place them on the map. Last evening
I was delighted to see the strawber-
ries pasted on your little state Of
Delaware. In fact, the Strawberries
entirely cover the state and spread
their foliage over into the state Of
Maryland. Tell your boys and girls
they have put Delaware on the map
with their strawberries.
The article quoted below "Straw-
berries from Delaware" is a clipping
from the Woman's City Club Of Cleve-
land Bulletin. My friends will be glad
to read it.
Strawberries from Delaware
The fame of the mariners chart in
our lobby has spread, so that state
without a smybol feels neglected.
Last week a member Of the Club re-
ceived a letter containing a cluster
of very handsomely autographed
to be placed on our chart
to the credit of the state Of Delaware.
These two particular strawberries
were sent for our map by the children
Of Delaware. The letter was written
by a supervisor in the State Depart
ment Of Public instruction, who had
visited the Club during the N. E. A.
Convention. In the letter she went on
to explain that Sussex county in Del

The drought was broken Sunday eV-

surely has revived growing crops and
made old mother earth look like new.
The pea crop in this vicinity is very
light, owing to the lice and drought.
Children's services were held at I'm

was fine and well rendered. There was
quite large crowd in attendance, but
owing to the storm, the majority Of
them went home before the services
were near over; this of course made
the collection very small.
Margaret Lord has been on the sick
list for few days.

rigated and producing bountiful crops
Our Pennsylvania farmers will look
with suspicion upon the statement
that thousands Of acres of irrigated
land sold in the Twin Falls district
during and after the late war for
anywhere from $500 to $500 an acre,
and some even at $1,000 an acre. This
was overdOne, however, and those
who paid the high price for land at
that time came to grief on account or
the drop in prices of farm crops.
They raised 800 to 400 bushels Of po-
tatoes to the acre and when they re-
ceived $500 to $500 bushel for po-
tatoes it was profitable buy. They
also raised sugar beets, wheat and
some corn. Fruit farms have been
the present prices Of farm crops are
down, the land values have fallen ana
much land is for sale for much less
than 1t is actually worth. Even IN
1921 farmers made big money on po-
tatoes at $1.00 sack of 100 pounds.
This caused farmers to put out big
acreage Of potatoes in 1922 but On
account of the high freight rates po-
=tatoes were sold here all winter az
so cents hundred pounds, but last
week when the eastern shortage Of
potatoes became known the price here
jumped to $1.00 to SLIPS per hundred
pounds and 800 cars of potatoes were
loaded in this section last week. j..
While farmers in Penna. cannot make
big money raising potatoes at cent
a pound, here they can make big mon
ey by selling potatoes at cent a
pound. Farmers here have not YET
learned the art Of diversified farm
ing; but the experience Of the past
year has taught them a very useful
lesson.
With the immense grazing areas,
sheep are raised in herds Of many
thousands, some herds running to
$4,000 head. Cattle thrive well here |
too on account of the rich. soil produc-
ing alfalfa which can be raised ano |
sold at big profit at ten dollars a
ton. Alfalfa, like potatoes, being too
heavy for profitable shipment at high |
freight rates cannot be ship
ped away very far; so there is q heal
thy movement on foot to begin dairy |
and cheese making. In ono
section between here and Yellow
stone park 81 Swiss families moved
from Wisconsin and will make cheese
from the products of the ows. A large
cheese manufacturer was here a few
ago and offered the same
price for cheese at any railroad sta
ion in Idaho for the same price that
It can be bought in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin farmer must buy q
lot of feed. The Idaho farmer does
1ot need to buy his feed. His alfalfa
provides the very elements he needs
