drank some hot tea herself, then
filed a basket with some things she
thought might be needed, and started
out again.
1t was quite dark when she arrived
at the Benson home, a little old house
standing by itself in a lonely grove Of
pine trees. faint light shone from
the kitchen window; it was here the
old man slept since his wife had died,
for it was the only room in which
there was any heat.
AS Jean pushed open the door and
went in she was startled by the old
mans face as he sat bolstered up liz
his wretched bed, supported by her
husbands arm. She could see that the
end must surely be near, and the
quick tears filed her eyes She had
been fond of him; he had seemed so
helpless and hopeless since his wife's
death.
The faded eyes opened with pleas
ure as she came in, and feeble hand
beckoned her to come near. She
dropped on her knees beside his bed.

It was very heavy, and something

the box but it was filed nearly to the

But at last she reached the top of the

When she came into the yard two
eager faces were watching from the
window, and TWO little figures bobbed
up and down excitedly and she could
hear their shouts before she got into

Sectional Lines Going.

With the increased facilities for
transportation the speaker pointed
out, particularly the automobile and
Tor communication, the entire coun-
Try is becoming rapidly homogeneous.
The North. the East, the South and
the West are each losing whatever
peculiar and distinctive qualities they
had and the country as a whole is
becoming a vast neighborhood. There
was a time when raw materials were
always moved to parts of the country
where labor was abundant. With the
increased mobility of population
products are being at least partly
manufactured near the source of raw
materials.
Dwelling on the idea of the Nation
as Il vast economic neighborhood, "
and remarking on the growing APP
probation of culture and art in the
United States, Mr.. Clifford saw the
Nation entering upon an era Of in
creaSing material well-bcing based on
an intricate and somewhat delicately
balanced organization of its business
activities.
( Progress will come largely from
scientific research. the elimination of
waste and the development of better
methods of production and distribu-
tion,' he declared.
