JANET sat In the cherries room and
j her eyes overdowed in hopeless
tears. She could not write home for
money--the little shelterIng home Of
her parents was now a memory only
an aching memory OF the time when
jamie had not been alone. The city
had seemed 50 promising; she knew
she might have made her way In busI-
ness had not that foolish. dominating
urge forced her to write. write r.
jamie whispered the word contemp-
tuously.
Who was she, that she had fancied
she might succeed where others
worthy had failed7 And yet, where
had she read-that success is a tickle
dame, smiling when least expected.
And the editor Of the Glenville Star
had so praised her stories. One had
run on In the village paper until JAMIE
herself scarcely knew where to end
it. Her friends had eagerly bought
the Star, interested to learn the fate
OF JAMES, heroine.
She had a small legacy to start with
In the city, and had moved when the
stories failed to sell, to a less pleas
ant location; then on farther down to
the dingy house, where now the rent
Of the cheerless room was due. She
decided to put behind her the dream
that had long beckoned; to 80 out
In the morning to seek work-any
work, for she was unframed In busl-
ness. Wiplng the tears from wistful
eyes, JAMIE ainlessly picked up an
evening paper, an interesting head
line caught her attention:
"Mary Manners Council Chamber
Mary Manners, pictured In a side cut,
was very attractive herself, apparent
IL able to advise In questions Of the
heart. jamie read on enthralled.
JAMES, thoughts went back to Joel,
In the village; Joel. who had been so
true, who had frowned upon her
dream Of career. had tried to dis
courage her from It, and had offered
IN place his honest heart and solitary
home. Joel lived alone since his IA
ther, the last of the parents to sur
yive, was also gone. jamie had not
stopped to consider the possibility OF
love where Joel was concerned; II she
had stopped she was afraid 1t might
have interfered with her enthusiasm
In the career So she turned from
Joel's encouragement Indignantly and
went her determined way to the city.
Joel, in injured pride, perhaps In hope
lessness, had not written-while jamie
told herself that he was but part OF a
past-forgotten.
But JoePs dlscouraging prophecy
had indeed come true. Here she was,
stranded in a friendless city. Impul-
sively she took up her pencil, wrote

Ing morning answering an advertise
ment for help wanted" that she had
read IN the same newspaper. The
doctors wife happened to be very
busy that morning, with the cook Just
left and no new maid engaged-so
JAMIE was hired on the spot, to admit
patients and to answer doctors teIe-
phone, at a modest wage She found,
however, that after a substantial din
ner at the doctors house she could do
with little supper-so the rent might
be ready for the cherries room.
Upon the bleakest night Of JAMES
return from the Office she found long
envelope awaiting her; before the gas
CRATE she read the letter Inclosed.
The letter was from Mary Manners,
and it told her, like the unraveling Of
a fairy tale, that she, jamie Anderson,
had won the newspaper prize offered
for the best letter in heart interest

The letter lnclosing the ten-dollar
prize said Miss Mary Manners, who
was about to be married, was SO
pleased with JAMES, remarkable

carry on her column. she wished to
see jamie Anderson Ia person.
Breathlessly jamie ran to the news

his lonely village home who would
know the story to be true; know now
that JAMIE regretted the love dis

lay a promise of her career in writ

REPORT AGAINST FORD BID

The proceeds of Liberty Bonds
went to the building of Muscle
Shoals at cost of more than a
hundred millions. Manifestly this
great enterprise should not be per-
mitted to be applied to use detri-
mental to the public.
The need of the undertaking was
emphasized by the necessity Of ma
tional defense in time Of war, pro-
viding as it does facilities for the
meansN of making explosives are
adaptable to the manufacture Of the
ingredients of fertilizers and the
farmers have insisted that these
shall be manufactured.
Our readers are familiar. through
the reports of proceedings, with the
offer made by Mr.. Ford under terms
which he laid down, one of which, a
hundred year period Of lease, being
contrary to the established policy of
the government: how this has been
argued at length in the public press,
how II received quite general sup
port among many. how other inter
ests made offers for lease through
fifty-year period. None of these,
so far az we can learn. afford in
surance that a stipulated amount of
fertilizer shall be manufactured or
that It is yet possible to do this In
competition with the foreign ferti-
lizer.
A committee of the Senate has
long had this under consideration.
Hearings have been held. Previous to
its coming before this committee the
bill passed the House by large ma
jority. The Senate committee has
row rejected Me bid and the chair
man, Senator Norris. has stated the
reasons for this. Whether the Sen
ate will adopt the majority report
remains to be seen, but from the
analysis of the bid submitted by the
chairman it appears that the pub
lie has overestimated the values
supposed to be in the Ford offer.
II the bidder could or would come
under obligation to make certain
quantities of fertilizer and sell at a
cost below that Of the natural that
would be a very valuable feature for
consideration, but this he does not
do. probably could not were he
disposed to do so.
Certainly he would pay little for
the possibilities this big enterprise
offers. He would. for one thing,
control all the electricity generated
there. The capacity for this pur-
pose is enormous. The needs Of the
territory in which the plant is
situated, considerable already. would,
over the period Of century, in
crease beyond present comprehen-
sion. To break law, the water
power act, for the purpose Of turn
ing over to Ford and his heirs such
a power for a hundred years seems
TO fly in the face of commonsense.
Belief in the power Of Ford to do
things, lack of understanding Of the
magnitude of that which he asks.
these undoubtedly have been the
cause of the popular demand for ac-
ceptance of the Ford bid. 1t looks
as though the majority Of this COM
mittee had rendered a public SER
vice in voting against the proposal.
