RUT when she woke there he was His big
hands were holding her in the air and
he was laughing up at her. His face was red
brown and his eyes were very blue and be-
meath the edge of his blue shirt was the strip
Of pinky-white skin; he had Just come from
the fields and was putting her on the big
morse. No, there was the wagon and a strange
zgzag fence and many large, fresh chips scat
tered around a new house in the piney woods
She was In Florida, and Uncle Charley was
here, too, and SAFE
"Oh!" she cried hugging his neck tight
Mother cried about you and was afraid"
The last sob came unexpectedly out of her
throat, and then she felt queer stiffness She
slid to the ground. There was a strange
woman, black-haired, black-eyed, red-cheeked
woman in beautiful, bright-red dress She
was fascinating. like grandfather's big brown
horse that lived behind bars and had once
killed man.
This is your new Aunt Molly, Mary Alice"
said mother. Mothers face was smiling, but
mother was not smiling Mary Alice took tight
hold of mothers brown skirt and held out a
hand.
How do you do Aunt Molly?" she said
carefully.
1.-THE other hand, DEAR" said mother
Mary Alice saw Aunt Molly's bare feet bare
and brown and dusty with white dust. She
looked up to the beautiful red skirt, to Aunt
Molly's hands that were on Aunt Molly's hip,
and on up to the bright-colored face. The face
Cppeu pack, q Cnlck white throat came I'D out OF
the red collar, and suddenly Aunt Molly laughed
a short, queer laugh.
We'll, nyow," she said, I'm right proud to
meet you," and she shook Mary Alice's hand
as though she were making fun. But it was
the right hand. Aunt Molly's red lips curled
and showed her white teeth; she was like the
big brown horse laying back his ears, and
Mary Alice backed quickly against mother.
Everything was wrong and she did not know
why; she only wanted to get away, and turn
ing, she hid her face against mother and shut
her eyes.
Then they were all going into the house.
The house was made Of new yellow boards and
smelled good. There was room with cook
stove and table, and room with the big bed
and Mary Alice's cot. 1t was a nice house,
only Uncle Charley did not live with them any
more. He lived in another house with Aunt
Molly Aunt Molly took him away, and at the
gate he stopped to look back at mother. Mother
and Mary Alice stood in the doorway and waved
good-by to Uncle Charley, but Aunt Molly did
not look back. She walked fast down the
road and her red skirt switched behind her
like tail.
Mother was very busy and did not say a
word. She unpacked the trunk and put on her
blue apron and let down the long braid Of her
hair that stayed in knot only when she was
playing grown-up For mother was not really
grown-up, like father; she liked to sing and
dress dolls and play games with toes. Only
today she did not feel like playing She bathed
Mary Alice Sternly in the tin wash basin and

Option Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 18Th. G. Heath,
general secretary of the United King
dom Temperance Alliance, issued a
statement today on the status and hopes
Of the prohibition movement In the
coming British general elections.
Heath is one Of the leading figures
of an alliance Of 20 national and
semi-national temperance organizations
throughout England and Wales. The
organizations for the first time in Brit
ish history are fighting side by side in
an electoral campaign In an effort to
place as many persons as possible in
Parliament pledged to support ma
tional local option bill Heath said that,
in his opinion, the election of Herbert
Hoover to the presidency of the United
States had done more than anything
since the local option election of 1908
to help the cause Of prohibition in Eng
land. ..
He declared Mr.. Hoover's election on
a platform Of strict enforcement of the
American prohibition laws had created
q tremendous impression" I'VE are
pursuing virtually the same tactics here
the Anti-Saloon League followed in
America years ago., he said. The
temperance question undoubtedly will
play a greater part in the coming elec-
ton than at any time since 1905" he

Wheat Sale Shows
How Farmer Gains
By Debenture Plan
az tha Associated Press.


Here is what an export farmer
would do to get the benefit Of
the debenture plan that has
been under consideration by the
Senate agriculture committee:
An exporter Of wheat, for in
stance, upon placing his product
ready for shipment out Of the
United States, would receive from
the Treasury officials at the port
an export debenture certificate.
The value Of this would be COM
puted by multiplying the num-
Der of bushels to be exported
by the debenture rate. The rate
in the case Of wheat would be
one-half the tariff on wheat, or
81 cents per buShel.
The farmer would take his GER
tificate to any importing individu-
al or firm and receive currency
for it. The importer would be
able to use the certificate in place
of currency in the payment Of
import duties to the Government.
The net result Is that the far
mer would receive the world price
for his product, plus the rate Of
debenture.

AMERICAN EDITORS
OPEN CONVENTION
Routine Business Matters
Occupy First Session
of Society.

convention of the American Society Of
Newspaper Editors in the auditorium of
the National Press Club this afternoon.
The three-day gathering, which is
bringing together newspaper men from
all sections of the country, was opened
at o'clock, when Walter M. Harrison
of the Daily Oklahoman and the Okla
homa City Times, president Of the So
ciety, delivered his annual report and
standing committees.
william Allen White, editor of the
Emporia Gazette and nationally
known newspaper man, who was to have
delivered the principal address at this
afternoons session, on THE Newspaper
and It's Influence in National Cam
paigns," will not arrive in the Capital
until tomorrow, it was announced by
the program committee, and his talk
will be made later in the convention.
Butler Unable to Be Present.
Z. H Butler. publisher of the Buffalo
News and president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, who
was to have extended the greetings of
the publishers to the editors this aft
ernoOn, also was unable to be on hand
for the opening session of the conven-
ton, 1t was announced.
The report of w. P. Beazell of the
New York World, chairman of the COM

Discipline to be Brought Up.
II. T. Claus of the Boston Transcript,
chairman of the committee on schools
of journalism, entered a report which
was followed by a discussion led Ey
r. E. Stevenson of the Waterbury

Foremost among the subjects coming
before the convention during its three

society taking action on whether it
should place itself in such position
as to discipline members for violations
of the society's rules. Since the last
meeting the directors of the society
have secured all the legal data needed
for the discussion of this matter and
the question Of changing the constitu-
ton of the society probably will be
brought up at one of the sessions to-
morrow.

passenger and freight field, J. B. Hill,
president of the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis Railroad, declared here yes

Because of this fact and that laws
now governing railroads were passed

free to fight their competitors in their
own field. In spite of their losses in
passenger and local freight, Mr.. Hill
said. the railroads have given the best
service in their history during the past
three or four years. Problems con-
fronting the American people in the
administration of justice were discussed
by John Bell Keeble, dean of the law
