 V rain and chilled by a wind that
 seemed blowing direct from some unmalted snowbank, climbed the last HfljSht of stairs wearily aAd entered m. to the dinky, dim room which was one of two she called home. A small figure lifted itself from the davenport, which offered a bed at, night as we'll as lounging accommodat tions through the day, and pales pointed face smiled welcome upon Vera.
 "DarIingly Vera came to bend down and kiss her sister. "How are you! Been terribly lonely ?"
 Lilly shook her head. Though she was only three years younger than Vera illness made her look and act babyish. A snowdrop was Lilly, and just as white and fragile. Vera never looked at her without pang of ap- prension.
 .'Had company ' said Lilly,
 1Honest r The lovely gold-brcwn head nodded as vigorously as it had shaken as instant before. Cousin CharlOtte1
 s.Who in the world is Cousin Char lotte!" Vera looked puzzled.
 T do not know That is who she said she wAs-Cousin Charlotte Spriggs. She knew all about father and mother and back lots farther. She is very old, you sec, and Sold-fashioned, She said she heard where we lived from Mrs. Heath and 50 she thought as she had to come to the city she would look us up. I gave her some lunch, then she went out, she did not say where. But she is coming back to dinner. She ought to be here now. I am worried about her. Old ladies ought not to be roaming alone about our exciting streets"
 A guest!. Added expensel vera's lips set over the new problem. As if it was not hard enough to live as it was, as if they did not have to pinch and scrimp in every way, and now they needs must have this infliction of this old woman, whom they knew before, although now that Vera thought about it she could recall dimly past allusions to Charlotte Briggs.
 "NVell! And what have you for din- nerg' she tried to smile. With a guest you know, darling, we shall have to splurge q little, if only to show that we can"
 . Lilly smiled back.
 ''I made eozy little bread pudding and I bought q head of lettuce for salad and I had half q can of salmon for eroquettes. It will do, for Cousin Charlotte ate no more than bird"
 She ceased speaking, for the guest was at the door. She entered, a tiny, pale old woman with violets on her bonnet and coat that had been put together by q village dressmaker. Her voice fluttered and she sank into a chair.
 Instantly Vera felt what Lilly had

fellow Is Very Popular This
 Spring

In no other season has yellow been given 30 much popularity as it has this spring. And no wonder, for yellow is one of the most typical spring shades, suggesting sunshine, daffodils and the general lightness and happiness of spring. Yellow flannel, yellow crepe and all the combinations with yellow in them can be used to make up the most adorable dresses.
 As n suggestion, yellow coat of cozy flannel, made full length and per- fectiy straight, could be the keynote of q complete spring wardrobe. Line the coat with white flannel or printed silk and have a little ermine collar. ANtiny yellow Milan hat with black and white narrow ribbon trimmings would be most suitable to wear with it. Then have two or three dresses in the same colors, yellow, whlte and black.
 If you line your coat with white, have a white flannel dress trimmed with yellow, but if printed siIk makes the lining, make a little dress of that, trimmed with black robbon. Then, of course, . sport dress of the same yel- low flannel, made short and simply and yellow or white stockings and black spede pumps to complete the costume. C A.

T OIS tried to echo his laugh. It was
 plain that, in spite of her desire
 to please him, he still cherished d certain admiration for Marian, an ad- miFatton that was dangerous factor --for 1t might develop into love. Re nembering those hands on Marian's shoulders, she wondered jealously just how much he did care for the younger girl. If he only knew her as she really was.
 Perhaps he would by this time to- morrow night.
 She sat up suddenly a glow on her face that changed her whole expression. All compunction had dropped from her as she wrapped herself again in the garment of jealousy. She remembered her resolve to fight fire with fire. We'll, she would do it At least, while she would not fight against Marian, she would not fight for her.
 Moreover, she had promised Marian not to tell Sumner what her job was. She had also promised Sumner not to tell anyone of the plans for tomorrow night. What fool she had .been | few minutes ago to have any qualms or sinkings of heart!
 "What are you thinking off" her companion demanded, arrested by her sudden change of manner.
 "Of q question of right and wrong I wanted your advice about" she re piled promptly. ''Is one ever justified in breaking c promise2"
 That depends on the sort of promise one makes" the minister evaded. nSome are better broken than kept"
 "oh, I do not mean wrong prom ise,n the girl explained. But promise to keep a secret. For instance--( (oi course this is only by way of iIIustra. ton could anything justly a person In breaking such promise as I made yoz--that would tell nobody of the plan you confided to mel"
 1T cannot conceive any situation that would warrant the breaking of such a promise,p was the stern response.
 .aThat is what I feel. People often copfide in me and F$neyer violate their confidence. My sister recognized that when she told me all about her work and asked me not to. talk to anyone about it-just because she had fancy that she did not want it discussed. You know never have discussed fl even with you"
 '.I know you have not"
 .And you have felt that I was right in not doing 90 2"
 "I have known you were perfectly right in not doing so.'
 A few minutes later he had gone. He had said what she wanted him to say.

FARMlsR BROWNS BOY PUTS UPI

FARMER BROWNS B0E PUTS lP
 SIGNS
 rTsHESE were busy, busy days for
 Farmer Browns boy. You see,
 there was so much work to do in the garden, work that Farmer Browns boy called duty. He always did his duty work first and smilinsIy. But when it was done he was quite as busy as before. First there was the planting of all those bushes along the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard. After that there was the planting of all those sweet cherry and Russian null berry trees. And after these were planted Farmer Browns boy stiIl found work to do, and all the time he whistled and it was very plain that his work made him happy.
 First he cut several smooth boards about two feet long and foot wide. Then he got q brush and some black paint and with his tongue in his freck- led cheek, for it was work that required a great deal of care, he printed letters on those smooth boards. Every few minutes he would stand off and look at what he had done and scowl little when it didn't quite please him, and smile little when it did. Farmer 0EOWu UUy WAS QnluttuS Si&u&s st44f
 When he had four of them finished he took them with hammer and nails and started out with Bowser the Hound gambling along in front of him. First, he went through the Old Orchard to the side nearest the road, and there he nailed one of the signs to fence post, so that whoever came along that road would be sure to see it. Then he went over to the Green Forest and at the very beginning of the Lone Little Path he nailed another sign to c tree where whoever came that way would see it. After that he went over to the Green Meadows and nailed third sign to a fence post there. Finally he went to the Old Pasture and there he put up his last sign.
 Now, all this time great many sharp eyes had been watching him and a great many little heads had been wondering what it was all about. Just Eas soon as he had left the Old Or Echard ali the birds there headed by Sammy Jay had flown straight to the sign to see what it was. 1t puzzled them. It puzzled them great deal. They looked at it from in front, from behind, from each side.
 "It must be some kind of trap" declared timid little Tiny the Warb- Ter.
 .'No it. isn't" declared sammy Jay

Indigestion
May Lead to


Repeated attacks of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
tend to the appendix, which usual.
ly becomes infected through the
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.
1t doesn't pay to ignore even the
most simple warnings of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste. in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn.
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, con.
stipatiog ,biliousness, dizzy spells
and palpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.
If You are subject to any form O
stomach distress, DON y fail to try a
bottle of Smith Bros M. A. c., the
guaranteed stomach treatment. This
wonderful medicine usually gives
prompt relief from all discomfort.
In fact, it is sold on a positive

''The future wise direction of the
foreign policies Of the United
States" declared General Bliss,
who was q member of the Ameri-
can Commission to Negotiate
Peace at Paris, in 1918, demands
a rapidly widened knowledge, on
the part of all of its citizens, of
the basic principles on which these
policies. if wisely conceived and
directed, must be established"
Understanding of this, the Gen.
eral believes, viii come only from
intelligent study and research of
the fundam .ntals of international
life" He lays particular emphasis
on the necessity for an understand
ing of this kind among~ the busi-
ness men of the world, Sin these
days when international cnntrov-
ersies more and more grow out of

"The business man, General
Bliss concludes, cannot devote the
time necessary for intense research
into the history of international re-

from the result of

PEA VARIETIES SUITABLE FOR
IMPERIAL VALLEY DESCRIBED
FOR BENEFIT GROWERS HERE

Other early varieties that have
been grown and are good yielders
are the Notts Excelsior, Little Mar
vel, American Wonder and Prem
ium Gem with yield records in the
order named. These have short
vines, short blunt pods light green
in color, hence do not sell well
against the other varieties. The
Little Marvel, which gave the third
highest production, against sixteen
other varieties at Meloland, and
second against nine other varieties
in Il three year test at the govern
ment experiment. station mt Bard,
is the best of this lot, with 3 lit
tle larger vine growth, and pods
larger and somewhat darker green.
The Alaska and Extra Early can
not be recommended. even though
verv early, because they are poor
yielders and have small. light green
colored pods, with poor quality peas.
Are Late Yielders
OF the late varieties, commonly
planted in Imperial Valley in Oc-
tober and November for February
and March shipment, the Dwarf
Telephone properly called, Carter s
Daisy or Daisy, is the fasorite, as
If is a vigorous grower and
heavy yielder and produce large,
well filled light green colored pods
and is popular with the trade. The
main objection TO it is the light
green color of the pods.
The Stratagem is variety that
deserves more extended use in I'M
perial Valley and win probably be
grown to some extent, especially
if the threatened Dwarf Telephone
seed shortage continues. In tests
at Meloland, Stratagem outyielded
Dwarf Telephone by nearly loco
pc~gds per acre, and was less dam
aged by frost. 1t averages, how
ever, somewhat fewer peas to the
pod and the pods are. somewhat
smaller. At the Bard government
station ii was outyielded by the
Dwarf Telephone. The Stratagem.
however, has dark green eolored
pods which is Il tremendous factor
in its favor, rs the trade pays a
premium for dark green pods as
against light green. 1t is the gen
eral favorite for the main crop in
the central coast pea section of the
state. Professor II A. Jones says
of the Stratagem and Blue Bantam
''They are excellent, very dark
green and hold. color well in tran
sit - In tests conducted by grow
ers in the valley in cooperation
with the farm advisor the Strata

Commenting on the proposed

have right relations with other peo-
pies Of the world if we select men
for diplomatic positions after they

WHITES LIVING
in SERVITUDE
In THE DESERT
by United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Ruled over
by King Sebele-negro monarch of
the district-a group of white set
tiers are living in servitude III the
great Kalshari desert in Africa, ac-
cording to a story in the Daily Ex-
press.
The discovery of the white slaves
was made when a South African
government party was doing re-
search work near Molopolole.
Cleaning black natives met the
government party and escorted them
to the king-a well educated negro
who dresses in the style of the
Europeans.
The white settlers were standing
nearby the various huts of the vii
lage. There were about so of them
and their every act was indicative
of servitude. There was no indica-
tion that whites were i'll treated.
Sebele told the government party
the whites were menials for the
negro settlers and that they work
ed in the fields for their masters.
They are not permitted to own
land and are paid in grain.
The government report suggested
that the whites might be descen-
dants from troupe Of settlers
which entered the Kalhari desert in
1873 and were never heard Of af-
.er that time.

BY Z. L. GARTHWAITE
Agricultural Extension Service for
Tmpsrial Countv

With the general good prices
realized BY pea growers last yeal
indications are that Imperial Val
lev will have one of the heaviest
paintings of both early and late
garden peas in its history. Alre&dv
some Of the large seed dealers are
reporting to be out of the two
standard varieties used here, name
lv the LaN,OniaH for early and
Dwarf Telephone for later plant
ings. Growers and seedsmen are
beginning 20 ask for desirable va
rieties to plant in place of these
two, should the demand for seed
exceed the supply.
Since the Blue Bantam and Peter
Pan are both strains of She same
variety as the LaXtonian, these can
well be used in place of lthe Laxto,
nian. Peter Pan peas were grown
in the vicinity of FL Centre last
year and gave excellent results.
They are said to be the principal
early variety used in Colorado.
These and the Blue Bantam are dis
placing the Thomas Laxton, the
f&vorite early variety in the central
coast section of California. These
are all low growing, the vines only
reaching less than two fees in
length on the average, have large
well filled pods that are dark green
in color and are well received by
the market on that account. The
Blue Banta mvariety is especially
recommended by Professor Henry
A. Jones, chief of the division of
truck crops of the University of
California.
The Thomas Laxton is another
very good, early, pea and is the
main early variety used in the cen
trail part of the state. 1t has a
larger vine than the Laxtonian, bU.
is just as early and fully as pro
ductive.
Is an Early Pea
The Gradus or Prosperity is an
other early pea that can be recon-
mended for~thfs section. In com
parative tests at the University of
California Meloland experimental
station it yielded as much rs the
Laxtonian, but was not quite as
early. In tests conducted by grow
ers in cooperation with the agri
cultural extension service the Ora
dus yielded earlier peas and of
finer quality than the I.axtonian,
but the Laxtonian was more profit
able on account of larger total
yield. The pods of the Gradus are
large, pointed and have the desir-
able dark green color.
