Life, Love and Adventure Are the Lot
of an Obscure Girl in
High Society.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED so FAR
Sally Marsh comes to New York
with a thousand dollars and q
wonderful education; she learns
stenOgraphy, keeps house with
four other girls and after three
years of struggle decides to get
married. But first she has to
pick out the man. She thinks
of Rob Saunders.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
TlHEN in about a year-no, six
\ months-she would retire, go
South perhaps. Or was Palm
Beach played out? Perhaps it
would be better, after AN, to go
abroad. On the steamer there
would be a fascinating man. She
saw him distinctly. He had a
mustache, was about 80, and he
had wise eyes, but with deep
Kindness and understanding in
them. my DEAR" he murmured,

more wonderful to me than 80"

harsh and cross. Sally bent her
head to hide little grin at her
own foolishness.
She typed away.
But next morning she came to
the office, looking straight before
her, and feeling angry and hurt.
There had been q letter in the
mail-box at last.
A letter, full of whining indigna.

Sally had lent the money unre-
servedly. She said it was quite
what she expected, to have de-

were at the very worst. All,
well, this was world in which
the righteous had to suffer. The

living on lonely farm.
It was an unbelievable, detest-
able, dishonest letter. Sally tore

Of rage came into Sally's eyes.
Why was everything SO hard?
Why was it so difficult to do
what you wanted? She could
have done so well with that
beauty shop! e" Could have
done? The phrase echoed in her
mind. Why couldn't she still do
1t? Why couldn't she borrow
the money somewheres? Thank
heavens, she had said nothing to
her friends about her hopes.
What a fool she'd have looked if
she had told them,
But no inspiration came. She
sat over the typewriter once
more. She felt nervous some

money to a man is investing in
his business. Lending money to a
woman should be investing in her

to be enjoying the sound OF his

and you're the kind of a girl

Something seemed to move in
Sally's pulses. She felt them
throbbing madly. A little wave
of excitement rippled through
her. She hardly knew her own
voice as she said with a kind of
desperate gayety:

Dearest Dan:
"I am writing this to say
good-by. I love you deeply, and
shall never regret the six months
we have spent together. But now
that I am getting married. I
can't see you any more. Please
never breathe to anyone what
we've been to each other. But I
will love you all my life.'h
Dan Shevlin lit another Gig

Have you signed that?" he
asked. NOW give it to me-"
II won't" A swift sense of
fear ran through Sally. She
understood that note, and its
value very clearly. A weapon
over her head, weapon to force
her, push her, destroy her in the
dim, incredible future.

was Jackie tense and quiet in

was Jackie about to receive his
degree.
Virginia's hand pressed against
Rooms knee. She breathed ex.

it was over she stood UP with a
little catchy laugh: Didn't he

Jackie turned crimson when
they kissed him, though all the
mothers and sisters were doing
this.
He looked at his dark sprite Of
a girl with a warm, adoring flush
and handed her his degree to

Extension division at the North Da-
k0ta Agricultural college.

sions, this book has been in use since

As was the case with the play of
the same name, which held the
boards for 25 years, the picture makes
q strong appeal to the studious, by
reason Of its historical accuracy; to

at no moment does the superb cinema
spectacle offend anyone's sensibili-

deepest emotion and the highest en-
thusiasm Of all spectators.
h A very important factor in the
presentation Of the picture here will
be the beautiful musical score
which is played by a large touring

sor, Barton. This increase in value
Of the poultry production comes more
from the better quality Of eggs and
poultry than from an increase in
volume, states Mr.. Barton. The
produce companies throughout North
Dakota report unanimously that the
equality is higher. These reports as
q rule come from the localities where
poultry demonstrations and poultry
extension work have been carried on.
The largest single increase will be
in capons from Walsh county. A
carload will be shipped. out Of that
county this year. This is probably
the first time that a carload Of capons
has ever been shipped from one
county at a time, according to Mr.,
Barton.
Conservatives estimates Of the total
annual production in poultry and
eggs in North Dakota arc near $l5,.
OOO. 900 for each year. This includes
the estimated home consumption. The
value of the poultry products that g
to market = set at about half the
total production, or at $7,5OO.OQ0.

Reports Agree
The Nelson and Lund reports
agree in most particulars. The
Lund report also contains brief
statement covering operations of
the Bank of North DAKOTA, which
he recently audited.
The Nelson report, submitted tc
the industrial commission by which
he is employed, showed that the

from 2,6O6,l37 bushels of whea,
last year. The loss was $42S,
