the rest OF us In use and effect OF
use OF modern industrial tools and
most important of all to stimulate
them to take more active interes,
in the movement OF Industrial de.
Capitalization which venture to
hope has set in In this country
There are indeed many indications
Of this tendency.
Local industries Will Aid Farmers
The most conspicuous example
OF 1t Is In that portion OF the South
which is gradually drawing away
from New England the cotton spin.
ming and weaving industry.
A few years ago the cotton
grown in the South was shipped to
New England and manufactured
there, and cloth that the South
needed was shipped back to them
from New England. This process
involved a large amount OF trans.
portation which. broadly speaking,
was an economic loss.
II this tendency continues, there
Will be a reaction against the DOW
erful forces which are now at work
tending to draw people away from
farms and at the same time cause
congestion in our Industrial and
commercial centers.
These local industries will Ger.
tainly be more vigorously fostered
by an inspirited farming population
than by a depressed one. and to the
extent that they are established
they will furnish enlarged oppor.
unity for employment OF rural pop.
ulation.

becomes q matter of Importance to
everybody because there are over
100000 farms in the United
States and more than 30.000.000
people. or nearly third OF our
population live on them.
The trouble with the farming In.
dustry can be stated in word, and
that is II yields unsatisfactory prof.
its. There have been various rea'
sons given for this condition Of az
fairs:
One. that the farmer is caught
between the upper milestone OF
high prices for the things which he
must buy due to special conditions
produced in the main by our pro,
tective tariff system. and the meth
or milestone OF low prices for the
bulk OF his products which are in
fiuenced largely by the world mar
kets where competition Is free and
unrestricted.
Another is that the high cost Of
distribution of his products in our
home markets consumes too much
OF the margin between the prices
which he receives and the prices
which the ultimate consumer pays
There are other things such as
unsatisfactory farm labor condi'
tons. lack OF a system under
which his products may be ware.

she answered, brokenly.
II know you weren't. And I had
either. Shall take you homer"
Later, when he stopped before her
door, he said, Sonia, I'd give any
thing in the world if this hadn't hap
pened."
She answered, quietly, TITS all
right. Forget it!
Twill you try to do that, too? And
remember the nicer things?"
Yes, Don. I owe you too much
to nurse a grudge against YOU"
l.
But thinking it over afterward
she found it had quite taken the
edge from the previous impression
he had made.
AS she dressed that last morning,
she relived that exciting moment.
mo, l promised to forget" she
said, resolutely.
Besides there were so many other
things to think about today. This
day Of all daysi Her trunk to pack
and the bag she would need over
night on the boat-a last trip down
town for pins and powder.
"As IT," Sonia chuckled to Sidney
IT couldn't buy those in San Fran.
CISCO
Sidney was loyal. in spite Of her
mothers disapproval. Everyone
seemed anxious to do anything they
could for the departing Sonia. Her
prospective absence seemed to
cover a multitude of sins.
Joe Carter called. Sonia refused
to see him, faithful to the promise
her father had demanded. But she
had been unable to avoid a scene
w2h Tom Underwood.
II want you to know, Sonia" he
said, that any proposal I made to
you is all off now. l wouldn't con-
slider being engaged if you go to
San Francisco"
Don't worry, Tom, never took
you seriously. I don't care to marry
man who would ask me to wait
for him in Stockton while he has
four years of freedom"
They parted coldly. So quickly do
the emotions cool at II!
But in the afternoon as Sonia was
walking home from her last shop
ping trip, a car stopped before her
1t was Joe Carter, in one of his
fathers Fords. He opened the door
with a. determined air, saying, Get
in! I'll take you home"
Sonia was tired, and in a hurry
To refuse would be unreasonable.
She had nothing against Joe. =. The
incident of Sidney's party was in the
long distant past by now. So she
climbed in the coupe. with a CRATE
full smile, dropping her bundles
around her.

you know suppose
you'll refuse but the least
l can do is to offer to marry you"
Sonia's laughter rang upon the
summer air. 1t was unfeigned and
joyous. And 1t Infatuated the boy
at her side.
"Oh, you will laugh at me! But
you weren't too proud to kiss me
last week."
Holding her with a grip Of iron.
he kissed her. Lips, cheeks, eyes,
hair-until, suddenly, the girl went
limp in his arms.
Joe" she asked, family. do you
love me as much as that?"
Eyes, and a whole lot more"
Her arms stole around his neck,
and her lips met his of their own
accord. Sonia neither understood nor
questioned her action. 1t seemed
necessary then, held close in his
arms.
Joe's expression was that of one
suddenly redeemed from the ever
lasting fires.
Sonia" he said. presently, docs
this mean that you love me, too?'
She withdrew herself from his
embrace and answered, gently, I'm
afraid not, joe"
well, you're the Queerest girl !
ever saw. What does It mean, then?"
She said. regretfully, I'm afraid
it just meant we shouldn't have been
interrupted the night you first kissed
me-"
1t took him only a few moments
to take her home after that. Sonia,
loathing deceit, permitted him to
drive her up to her own door. al
though she fully expected her father
to come out and order Joe from the
place. But Sam Marsh did not ap-
pear, and Joe drove away, his face
contorted in a frown of resentment.
Sonia was really hurt.
II don't see why he should insist
on taking it seriously she thought.
The memory Of her own conduct
was not reassuring. She had kissed
Joe again, after all that had been
said, and all she had promised.
But I will be awfulrly careful
when 1 get to San Francisco" she
resolved. Everything will be so
different there. Joe is just one Of
the boys I've known all my life. I'll
be awfully careful"
AS she went through the living
room she found her mother putting
the last touches on the green chiffon.
Joe Carter brought me home"
Sonia ventured. Where's father?
Did he come home early? He said
he would"
I'm your room, strapping your
trunk" muttered her mother, with
mouth full of pins. Sonia, my
pincushion.

"Will you, really? Wouldn't that

He smiled.
"Why?"
"Well, could see you once in

"Well. I'm beginning to think you

silent.
He said, after a moment, do you

me. It takes a wise woman to know

Her eyes met his coldly,
What are you trying to do? Flirt

The insolence Of it took his
breath. He had stopped the car to
see the view at the top Of the hill.
All at once, with no warning, he
seized her hands and kissed her.
Cold tremors ran through Sonia's
whole body. She was appalled,,
angry, Inundated.

Tears stood in her eyes. She had
been hurt at his treachery.
