prominent in agriculture, education,
business and government, at the

to have spoken. was prevented by
Illness.
The addresses. while bearing on
different subjects. all stressed the
Importance of agriculture in the
prosperous growth of the country.
Former Gov. Lowden stated that as
to agriculture 1.-The situation is grave
indeed and that the result-fewer
farmers-is already in evidence"
Price Must BE Stabilized.
Some way must be found" he as
serted. ito stabilize the price of
products OF the farm
The consumer, he said. derives no
benefit from the extremely low prices
at which agricultural products have
a times been sold. and lit is equally
clear that distributors are able to
prevent the wide fluctuations which
bring distress to the farm"
lie declared agriculture henceforth
must be the chief concern of any
nation which would flourish and en-
dure. I'VE are hearing more and
more ne said. "of a conflict between
the agricultural West and the indus

This bodies i'll for both. Nothing
but evil in all our history has come
from sectional differences. And
there is no instance in which a Sec
tional difference has arisen where
the injury has not extended to all
parts of our common country.
Sectional Conflict Unnecessary.
I'm the long run no national policy
can benefit Illinois and hurt New

country are such that an injury to

Mr.. Cooper stated that accurate re-
porting of the trend of prices in
farm products is aiding the farmer
In keeping abreast of the trend of
the times. He described the work
of the Associated Press in the col
lection and dissemination of news
as "a serious business, conceived to
be one Of the greatest of human en-
deavors and one around which, for
your sake, there must be thrown all
the safeguards which human in
genuity can devise.

derstanding with foreign countries,

CHAPTER XIII.
The Plot Thickens.

During the next few days after her
interview with Richard, Leila began
once more to be uncomfortable where
Barry was concerned 1t wasn't that
he stopped her and tried to engage
her in conversation, but for all that
he was always passing her in the hall,
and it seemed to her that she met him
far oftener than could be put down TO
coincidence. She began to wonder
what his next move would be, for she
was quite sure now that he had some
thing in mind. 1t annoyed her to have
this feeling constantly with her, par
ticularly since her interview with
Richard had made her happier than
anything that had happened to her in
long while
OF course. her opinion of him had
changed since that evening His treat
ment of her had been so courteous, so
more than kind. That simple act of
rising to his feet when she entered
the room had gone a long way toward
restoring her pride, and his quick I'M

Kingsley household she had thought
of Richard as an oyerbearing, AFRO

merely wore a mask to cover up the
fact that he was unhappy. That Mona

would be like with that scowl re-

when he had talked with her he had
been strikingly handsome. With the

like boy. 1t wasn't until he had
| spoken of Mona that the scowl had re-
turned and bitterness had crept into
his voice. He had evidently loved her
very deeply at one time. or her atti-

much.

II don't think So" replied Peep.
"If i wait, will it come out 2" Danny
demanded.
NO" replied Peep, and flew over
to join some of his friends on a little
sand bar

/ have a notion to try"
Danny leaned over and tried to look
down that hole, but he couldn't see
anything. He was still doing this and
wondering what could be down in
that hole when suddenly a stream of
water hit him right straight in the
eye. Yes, sir, Danny got an eyeful.
In fact, he got both eyes full. 1t was
salt water, too and it made his eyes
smart. to say nothing of the way it
scared him. And that stream of
water had come right straight up
from the hole Danny had been looking
down in.
From the shelter of the grass on
the edge of the marsh Danny watched
those holes. BY and by Tattler the
Yellow-legs came walking along.
When he stepped near one of those
holes Danny saw a stream of water
come up. Tattler didn't pay any at
tentfon. He just went on about his
business. He seemed to take it as a
matter of course. But Danny was
fairly burning up with curiosity.
What could have made that water
squirt up that way?

Friendship With Mother.

| Every girl knows the value of get
| ting in right with the future mother
ln-1aw after the boy friend has been
attracted. But some maidens pull the
| bone of trying to get in with mother
| first
! Nine times out of ten, when she
| does this she spoils her chances with
| the boy himself.
{, Boys love their mothers, yes, and
| they want their mothers to get along
well with their future wives. But they
want to pick out the wife; they want
no parental assistance. And they are
| rather apt to regard with deep suspf-
cion any one of whom their mothers
say fondly, ''Oh, she's such lovely
| girl, Billy dear. L do hope you and
she will get to be great friends"
Billy Is seldom favorably impressed
upon hearing this piece of informa-
ton. Nor is he overpleased when he
discovers that the young woman men,
toned is in strong with all the rest of
the family.
He decides before he's seen the poor.
girl that she's probably a WaShout.
What does she want to go and butt
into his family for? Hasn't she fam
lily of her own? Anyway, he hates the
goody goody type mothers always
picking out for him That's why it's
so dangerous TO make a dent with
mother before the son has noticed you
very much.
BY making a real hit with her, YOU
give him the impression that YOU
must be almost too good TO be true;
that you can't be a regular, poppy,
modern, up-to-date girl. or mother
would have passed you by with
sniff
Not that all boys disregard their
mothers opinions of the girls they go
with. They're glad to get mothers
o. X. on the damsel of their choice, all
right. But if mother, of her own ac-
cord, picks out some maiden as a shin
ing example of what sons wife ought
to be, son SHES away like fright
ened horse.
And the poor, benighted girl is out
of luck.
Perhaps she lived right next door
to Billy. and fell for him hard one
day when he wasn't looking her way.
Perhaps she dreamed dreams of the
day when he'd fall for her, too. But
maybe he didn't respond as quickly as
she'd hoped
Then came the temptation to do
little heavy work with the maternal
parent.
Why not slip her sample of ex
cel1ent cooking? Why not have a few
chats on serious subjects. just TO prove
that all modern girls aren't light
minded fiappers?
These ideas came drifting through
the girls mind and she acted on them
with disastrous results.
She got in soft with mother--and In
bad with the object of her affections.
Better let him pick YOU out first
| then persuade his mother that you're
| the right kind of girl TO be his wife.
If you persuade her first, you'll have
a lot of trouble persuading him next.

Crabs 1t had surprised him to find
that they could dig holes and that they
lived in holes in the ground When
ever he saw a hole in the mud he
would wonder if a Fiddler Crab was
! living there.
This Crabtown was on the bank of
q, creek in the salt marsh. Danny
soon discovered that when the tide
was way out there was very little
water left in the creek, and there We're
big mud fats and sand bars. He
often saw Peep the Least Sandpiper
with his friends running about there.
Sometimes there We're. larger BIRDS
with them. Occasionally he saw Tat
tier the Yellow-legs. Always they
seemed to find plenty to eat and SEEM
ed to be having splendid time run
ming about.
Very early one morning when the
tide was out Danny Ventured to run
out on u mud fiat just little way
from the sheltering grass OF the
marsh. He didn't go so far but that
he could run back in a jiffy. Right
away Danny noticed a number of lit
tie holes in the mud. They were
small holes. They were nowhere near
as big holes as Fiddler Crabs dug
over in Crabtown, but they were holes
that some one had made. and of
course Danny's curiosity was very
much aroused.
Peep the Sandpiper came running
past Hello, Peep" cried Danny.
Hello, Danny" cried Peep, for by
this time they had become well ac-
Quainted.

HOW 1T STARTED
"Doughb0y."
BY JEAN NEWTON.

"Doughboy'' is a term which most
people regard as having originated
during the late war, when it was so
frequently on peoples lips as a nick
name for our soldiers. The fact is,
however. that it had its origin some
what further back-that is, during the
Revolutionary War!
In accordance with the British sys-
TEN of rationing, every soldier of the
colonial army during the American
Revolution was supplied daily with
three or four cakes of bread, consist
ing of -four and water more or less
baked. and resembling in appearance
as well as taste nothing but dough. So
they called them ''doughboys," and be-
fore the end of the war the name came
to be applied to the men who subsisted
on them.
During the Civil War the name was
revived, but this time the large brass
buttons on the uniforms of the infan.
try were the inspiration for it. Some
one suggested that they were as big
as boiled dumplings or dough cakes.
So the soldiers became 'doughboys"

Advantages Noted.

IN Strong 10 H6E Is lHc
woman whosee very expression tells
as plainly as spoken words that she
has learned TO be tolerant. She will
listen 10 what you have to say and
not combat you She may disagree
with every idea, you are presenting,
but instead of saying so she probably
will ask some question that shows she
has been thinking of what YOU had to
say, and it had set her to thinking.
She let's you into her thoughts Incl
dentally, she sets you TO thinking
also. to probing your own statements,
to cutting out rabid notions, TO smooth
ing down too sharp corners of ex-
preston. She helps you see the sub
ject from other angles of observation.
In short, her very tolerance helps you
to become more tolerant.
An Attractive Face.
There is nothing tense about the
face Of a woman who is tolerant.
Whatever lines time may have
brought to her face are lines of pleas
antneSs, for one cannot be very dis
agreeable and still be tolerant. She
is almost sure to have a bit of a
whimsical look, as if life was, after
all, rather good place in which to
live, and that everybody had good
ideas ii only YOU could get at the root
of the matters She may not be
either pretty or good looking, but you
will find that people look at her be-
cause her face attracts like a magnet,
and because others are the better for
seeing her. You may be quite sure
that her husband and her children
adore her and that she shares their
every secret and confidence.

whom she holds dear. She is thrown
on herself because she shuts the door
TO their condolences. Then she be-
comes lonely, and this makes her CEN
serious She blames others and not
herself for their attitude, because per-
sons who are intolerant are so cock
sure that they are right that they be-
lieve others must be short sighted or
actually wrong in judgments.
Effect on Expression.
Besides making path that leads to
loneliness, the person who is lacking
in tolerance shows it in her face. She
acquires an expression that is far
from beautiful. 1t is lacking in that
kindly and gracious quality that
catches the eye and holds the atten-
ton with a friendliness that is con.
tagious. Instead. the severity is re-
pellant, the lines suggest hardness
and the mouth gets a set expression.
The woman who is lacking in toler-
ance is decidedly not fair to look
upon"
