There have been a few more farm
hands this year than there have been
jobs for them. Farm wages are now
rs per cent higher than they were
before the war, but they are still
well below relative industrial wages.
The increased supply of farm hands
this year is attributed to lower vol
ume of industrial employment.

AS an interesting variation in agri-
culture the propagation of game birds
for profit is suggested by the Bio
logical Survey of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. The demand
exceeds the supply and profits may
be reaped from the sale of adult birds
to breeders of both young and adult
birds for restocking of preserves, and
of eggs for distribution to both farm
ers and shooting clubs. Pheasants,
quail, mallard ducks, and Canada
geese are varieties that have been
raised successfully in the United
States, and the Biological Survey has
available detailed advice for those
who intend to go into the business.

Swans Mate for Life.

One life and one love is the rule
with swans. These beautiful wild
birds are sometimes bred and reared
in captivity, and the experts of the
Department of Agriculture tell of
their homogeneous habits in advice
to prospective breeders. Swans are
slow to mate" they say, "and remain
mated permanently. The only salts
factory way to buy them, therefore,
is in guaranteed mated pairs. Under
normal circumstances never separate
the birds of a pair"

January 1, 1928 falls on a Sunday.
The next time our present New Years
Day comes on Sunday will be in 1888.
So if the 13-month calendar is to go
into effect in the easiest possible way,
beginning the week exactly as at
present, something must be done about
it fairly soon, or we shall wait an
other five years. The idea of the 49,
month calendar, which is strongly
favored by the U. S. Weather Bureau,
is that there will be Is months of ex-
actly % days each, necessitating an
extra month, probably set in between
June and July. There will be one day
left over, and it is proposed to call
this "Year Day" and make it a uni
versal holiday between December 20
and January 1. All in favor, say aye!

sfe gulped, sitting up and reaching
for her handkerchief that lay on the
bedside table. she wiped her hrim-
niing eyes with il before she went
on in a shaky voice:

He's been so good to Mile and to

Mrs. Jerome looked at her coldly,
and Sally saw that, in some way Of
her own, she had figured il out that
Sally was TO blame for whatever mis-
fortune had just occurred in. the
little home.

that he walked out on me just the

covered her face with her handker-
chief again and rocked to and fro in
her very real agony.
Sally watched her for a minute or
two. She saw that there was not
ing for her to do. . A.. . After all, no
one Of use can do anything in the
face Of the big misfortunes that come
TO those we love. Real trouble has
to be conquered alone, always.
So, after a bit, Sally got UP and
left her.
The door of the room her father
had spent the night in stood open.
Within the bed was unmade, the ash
tray still filled with cigar bands and
ashes, the floor Uttered with papers.
In the bathroom the same chaos
reigned. The bath mat, still damp
and wrinkled, lay on the floor. The
tub had not been scrubbed out. Nax
ror above it was q large smudge Of
lather from shaving soap.

Bethlehem hospitall Where Mil

ever she might have said TO him died
in her heart, then and there. The
eager light in her eyes went out,
too, as Miss Kriss might have seen
if she had not been SO ne~sr-sighted,

That night when she turned into
Trellis street the first thing she
saw was Beau's fiery red car stand
ing before the house.
1t was then that she remembered
that tomorrow would be the first of
the month and that he and Mabel
had arranged TO give up their flat
on that day.
When she went upstairs she found
that they had o waited for the

hoped for the best, and secretly
feared the worst.

CHAPTER XXXvII

Sally had never dreamed that her
neat little kitchen could look the
way il looked when she stepped in
side Of il that night.
1t was ablaze with light, and IL
was in the widest disorder imagin-
able.
The sink strainer was piled high
with coffee grounds, orange peel,
bread crusts and egg shells. More
egg shells lay on the floor under the
sink. The waste basket had been
tipped over and IL spilled soiled pa
pers out onto the linoleum.
A wet dish towel hung over the
back of a chair. Another one was
drsped ove- the gas stove. Two fry
ing pans, half-filled with cold grease.
stood on the kitchen table. The drain
board was stacked with dirty dishes.
There was 8 splase OF tomato catsup
on the white wall beside the cup
board.
A soiled bungalow apron had been
rolled into q bali and thrown upon
the little shelf that held the kitchen
clock. Hidden beneath it the clock
licked loudly, Is if it were angry
at thus being thrust out OF sight.
Mrs. Jerome had been keeping
housed
"Oh, my Aunt Tessiei' gasped
Sally aloud, standing with her
il all in. what a mess"
As she stood there another sosld
came to her quick esrs-the muffled
sound OF sobbing from the front part
Of the flat.
Il. sT-~L Gil - a.
untidy kitchen, across the dining
room and into her mothers bed
room.
It was in darkness, but through
the gloom that sound OF mourning
and distress came to her again.
She switched on a light.
Mrs. Jerome lay prone upon the
unmade bed. her large heavy figure
shaken with q storm Of weeping. The
bed creaked with it.
Tossing aside her coat and hat,
Sally dropped TO her knees beside the
bed and put her arms around her
mothers big. plump shoulders.
She tried to comfort hcr-tried TO
find out what was wrong. But Mrs.
Jerome gave no sign that she ever
heard her.
Sally had never known her to cry
like this. She had often cried to
get her own way, or when she was
frightened about the pains that anne
from o~ver-eating. or when she was
upset about Beau or Mile.
But this was different. She cried
in a despairing. broken-hearted sort
Of way, and Sally knew that there
wac some real cause for her grief
this time.
Helpless for once, she sat back on
her heels and waited for the storm
TO pass. And after 10 minutes or
more Mrs. Jerome's sobs became
less violent. Presently she raised
a tear-stained and swollen face.

pressed themselves as surprised at
the degree Of development going on
IN that section, and prophesied q
brilliant future for the coast section

The sitting room wasn't so bad, but
il was dusty and it did not have the
fresh, clean look that it should have
had. As Sally stood looking down
mournfully at the pale-pink bios

mother came up behind her and
spoke once more with extreme bitter

about the men she knew. They all
seemed To love order and comfort.
All of them-Mr. Peevey, with his
midday lunch that had to be served
10 him on the dot. John Nye, with
his appreciation of her neat work
and her gift Of sandwiches. Even

his suits until they became shiny

Yes. men were neat, orderly ami
mails, and Sally could well believe
that her father had told the unkind
trath when he walked out of his
wite's happy-go-lucky, lazy, careless
life.
But she did not say so.
She saw that her mother wanted

stolen him from her-that she did
not want to blame herself for the
thing that had happened. Poor lit

her as II she were the one safe and
solid thing in a world that was slip

tears on her cheeks and kissed them
away.
On the last day in October Mr..
Peevey told Sally that he was going
to close his office on the last day
Of November.
He told her just as he was leav-
ing late in the gray, rainy afternoon.
And after he was gone, Sally sat at
her desk, staring az the ground-glass
name Of the door that led into the
hall.
Through that pane she seemed to
see John Nye at work in his office
across the hall, as she had seen him
SO often. His dark head bent over

ding with q lead pencil. Her hear
