1t also surprised him. He had an

necessary. after all, to approach his
objective obliquely, and was the girl
about to tell her story frankly, and
frankly to ask for assistance? He
had no guarantee CT that yet, but
her attitude suggested il.
He expressed his willingness TO
speak to her. while concealing his
~eagerness. She thanked him. and
proposed the little garden at the
back Of the hotel.
1T will be gutter there" she said,
and what T want to talk about is
rather private"
BY all means" agreed Rupert,
and added conventionally II hope

The introduction5 over, they pass
ed through the back Of the hall into
the little sunny garden beyond. A
tuble-down summer house, with a
couple Of hard. rustic chairs. was at
the far end Of the lawn. and she
made for it Unashamedly.
Il expect this surprises you a
little. MIR. Blake" she began. as she
sat down on one Of the hard chairs
and he took the other.
"a little" Rupert responded, but
not a great deal"
That's almost a confession"
1T is. To be honest, I'm rather
houing we shall both be IN a con-
Tossing mood"
She nodded. She made no attempt
to suggest she did not understand
him. He found her proximity rather
distracting. and suddenly decided
that he must not be distracted by IL.
The thought occurred to him. out CT
the clear blue sky, that efficiency
and beauty, combined. might prove
q dangerous collaboration to one
who too quickly took the virtue Of
the collaboration for granted. He
hated the thought. Still. it came,
He waited a~nxiously for the right to
dismiss It.

WANTS TURF GARDEN

In an effort to aid the famous golfer Monteith Is
endeavoring to have located at Atlanta what he calls
a turf garden. BY means Of this turf garden he will
be able to find out Just what grass is best suited to
the soil and climatic conditions Of the south, and
club officials in this section may be governed accord
ingly.
Last season there we're established Is new demon
strstion turf gardens on golf courses in different sec
tons Of the country. These are supported and cared
for by the local clubs. under the direction Of the
greens section Of the q. S. G. "A.
They are at Minneapolis. Chicago, Grand Rapids,
Detroit. Pittsburgh. Boston, New York, Atlantic City
and Richmond.
Experiments Of all kinds are carried on at the
turf gardens. Grass seeds for putting green's and
farways are planted and watched carefully. Various
kinds Of fertilizers are tried out. and those found to
be the most satisfactory are recorded. Cutting ex-
periments are conducted, and the best length for
grass on the green's and fairways determined.
And the countless other details necessary to the
maintenance Of golfers good dispositions are at
tended to.
Monteith says one Of the reasons that golf is de-
scribed as "a rich mans game is due to the fact
that too little attention has been given the turf prob
lem by club officials.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have been spent
~needlesSly en- golf courses. A club located in the
south will send a golfer to Braeburn or another
course There be viii putt on green's that are a
source Of everlasting Joy. He returns home and per-
suades his club to provide the same green's. Several
hundreds of dollars will be sunk to no avail. No ac-
count has been taken OF soil and climatic conditions
II is Monteith's job to see that clubs who have
money to spend on turf spend it wisely.

Flowers for the Living

Flowers for the living" The Houston Chronicle,
owned by Jesse H. Jones, handed the posies OF the
year to r. S. Sterling when it called upon the people
editorially to draft the chairman of the state highway
commission for the office of governor, subject to the
action of the democratic state primary.
Chairman Sterling is said to be the owner OF the
Houston Post-Dispatch, and the Chronicle and the
known as the newspaper game. 1t was a high COM
pliment to Sterling to say the least for the Houston
Chronicle to call for the drafting Of the head OF a
rival newspaper and this without any preliminaries.
Chairman Sterling was not consulted by the gen
tleman who directs the fortunes Of the Houston
Chronicle. They looked upon him as an ideal man
for governor and they made the call through the
columns of their widely known newspaper. Chairman
Sterling was the first champion Of the statewide
bond issue for road building purposes. His proposal
was defeated by the lawmakers but it mustered sur
prising strength. 1t is not a dead issue by any
means. He was for a state bond issue OF large dl-
mansions, the gasoline user to pay, and the compile
ton of a system of state highways in a period Of ten
years.
There was a temporary setback to the proposal
and that's all. When the important heads OF rival
newspapers can get together and declare for peace
and progress, the voters Of Texas should be able to
get together and back building program necessary for
the rapid development of the resources and the civil
izing accessories of the most remarkable Of American
commemorative.

Farmers Are Unorganized

Chris L.. Christensen, secretary Of the federal farm
relief board and a leader in the cooperative market
ing movement, estimates that only about one-thlrd
Of the 100000 farmers Of America are now organ
lied. These associations must organize under state
laws This confines the associations for the most part
to state groups.
Chairman Legge has said the farm relief act is
essentially to assist cooperative producer-owned ag-
~ricultural associations" He explained to the press
correspondent that the cooperative associations must
be owned and controlled by the producers Of the COM
modify involved.
There are millions Of tenant farmers in the 48
states. 1t is said by those who profess to know that
90 per cent Of the producers Of Texas are tenant
farmers. Organization appears to be the thing. Co
operatives may be in the saddle some day in Ameri-
ca. But what will they do with the tenants?
In the Southern states the tenants live from hand
TO mouth. They are victims Of an age old credit
system. They are landless and most of the time
penniless.

was her friend. It would be like
starting life all over again-going
away.
She wanted to get up and 60 to
Kent and tell him that she could
never go away. To beg him to stay
right there in the little house with
her always, and let her mother him
and case his hurts and help him to
be happy.
He could ever love her, Of
course-as he had Dovie. But, she
was sure he loved her as he would
a sister or q very dear friend. He
would not have held her in his arms
SO long, and let her mother him
when he was sad and broken with
misery. 1t had ceemed to hurt him
so much, too, wien she told him she
was engaged to Mann Barlow. If
she could be to Kent what she haC
been that night, she cou'7 find hap
piness-even if he couldn't love her
as his wife.
She got up, then. and turned on
the light. Now, while she was !
the mood to b frank With Bark,
was the time to write to hi. 1t was
cruel to hur' him. But, no more
cruel than it would be to leave Kent
alone and friendless in his hap
pineSS.
Bitter tears came to her eyes
while she wrote. 1t was a great deal
more difficult than she thought it
was going to be. He was the first
the only man who had ever told
her he loved her and wanted to
marry her. The only person in the
world who had loved her as she had
dreamed Of being loved.
Oh, there was poor Cubby. But
he was just the boy next door.
Sweet. But he didn't count. Bark
stood for Romance and Life-and
she was giving him up. Burning all
her bridges.
Besides, he had given her the
thing that meant most in her life
her flying. If she hadn't met him
she wouldn't even have had that.
How kind and patient and consid-
crate he had been to her. He had
made her a little famous, too. But
that really didn't count much. She
didn't care for that. However, it had
brought her friends and admira-
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-07-25

ton, and through it she had lost
her old fears and sense Of worth
lessness.
She had ended the letter by tell
ing him-begging his forgiveness.
There is no use. I love my huS-
band. There will never be anyone
else. You have been my dearest
friend-outSide of Pat. But Kent
needs me, and I know my heart
would break away from him-feel-
ing that he might need me and
want my friendship"
Vivian sealed the letter with a
sigh of relief. Then she went to bed
and slept peacefully-a great load
off her heart.
Kent went down to breakfast,
showing plainly that he had not
slept. She went up to him and put
her arms around his neck.
Are you going to work today -
and sell lots Of carS and make lots
Of money-and forget that there
has ever been anything the matter
with your c%areer?"
I'm going to try to do just that
for YOU" He reached down and
kissed her hair. Il couldn't very
we'll fail you, my dear"
do you know" he smiled up az
her from a delicious buttered not
muffin a little later, what day this
is, young lady?"
"N-nO. What is it?"
well, I like that! I've heard OF
susbands forgetting their anniver-
saries. But not wives. This is the
day we became engaged"
"Why-So it is. Id have remem-
bered it later in the day, | guess
CONGRATULATIONS, Mr.. Johns"
Il deserve 'em. I'm a darn good
picker. Only, my big mistake was IN
signing you up for just n year. l
should have made it fifty"
She wanted-so much-to tell him
what she had written Bark. But
she felt it would be- embarrassing.
She would wait until she heard from
him-and perhaps show the letter
to Kent.
Before Kent left he came whiStl-
ing into the kitchen, where she was
washing dishes. Actually whistling,
And just the night before she had
thought his heart broken. He stood
by the dishpan-expectantly
"I-er. Well, in other words, Mrs.
Johns, I thought maybe since this
is our anniversary you might send
me to work this morning with a
little goodbye kiss"
She turned and gave him her lips.
In the afternoon a messenger
brought two dozen American beau
ties in a huge box. She knew Kent
had sent to Salina for them. They
were the first flowers she had ever
received.
She buried her face in their heav-
emily fragrance and cried.

CHAPTER LV
Who had sent the clipping from
New York that told the story Of
DOVE Jansen?
Vivian wondered about it long
after she went to bed that night.
Was it Bark? Or Cuddles? Perhaps
they had sent it together.
Relief poured over her. Relief that
Kent knew at last, and that Dovie
was out of his life at completely as
if she had died.
She was SO spent with the drama
of the evening that there was no
sleep for her. Far into the night
she lay, her tired brain going over
and over all the things that had
happened to her in the past year.
Some of these days she would
leave Bender. What would become
of Kent then? He said he needed
her. That he didn't know what he
would do without her friendship. If
she married Bark she would prob
ably never be back in Bender again.
The little cottage-her own home
the place that she had made a real
home with such loving care would
be closed. She would have a rich
and famous husband-and live all
over the world. There would be no
more intimate little dinners with
Kent in the old dining room, and he
would never have any more Of her
pie.
Once he had asked her if, when
he was an old man sitting on his
lonely porch, he could come and
visit her and get a piece of her pie,
and she had told him he would al
ways be welcome. She wouldn't be
able to keep that promise if she
married Bark.
It was all the honey, foolish little
things that they had said and done
that came to her in the night. She
was suddenly SO overwhelmed with
homesickness that she felt she was
already on her way to Paris and to
Bark-aWay from Kent and Home.
And th~en-Vivian knew, as surely
as she had ever known anything in
her life, that she could never, never
marry Mann Barlow. That she
could never leave the little home
town where she had been SO bitter
and so unhappy and SO alone. Why,
everybody loved her now. Everyone

(After Sam Walter Foss).
There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self content;
There are souls like stars that dwell apart
In a fellowless armament;
And what lucky stiffs these fellows areI
I envy all their clan
For 1 live in a house by the side Of the road
And am a friend to man.

Where the race of men go by
In cars that are good and cars that are bad
And models that horrify.
/ cannot rest and I cannot think
Or concentrate or plan
For I live in house by the side of the road
And am a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the road
Where the clusterd hot dogs bark
The crowds that pass on their weekend trips
From dawn till after dark;
answer questions, lend them tools
And do it with elan
For I live in a house by the side Of the road
And am a friend to man.
I tell them the distance to points beyond,
I haul EN- from ditch and trench;
I help start the motor and then the fools
Run off with my monkey-wrench;
I let 'em have gas when the tank goes dry,
And use Of my telephone,
For I live in a house by the side of the road
And never am alone.
Yes, I live in a house by the side of the road
Where the frenzied tourists pass,
And I think III sell sandwiches, pies and cakes
And seventeen kinds of gas;
For why should I live by the side of the road
And be different than
The boys who sell "hamburgs," inner tubes,
Dogs, soda and soup to man?

Protection for Texas Cotton
Growers

Preparedness is the thing. A regulatory quaran-
Cine against cotton seed from Alabama, Louisiana,
Georgia, Arkansas and Oklahoma unless it is certified
by agricultural departments of those states as being
free from the disease known as cotton wilt, has been
put into effect by the Texas state department Of ag-
%riculture. --. -.-....
According to the entomologiSt of the Texas de-
partment the wilt, which attacks the plants similarly
to cotton root rot except that it acts in acid soils
while cotton root rot acts in alkalin lands, has been
found in part of East Texas and an immediate survey
will be made to determine the extent Of the disease in
the state.
Commissioner George B. Terrell baniShed the fruit
ffy. He did a good job for the citrus growers. Now
At is to be hoped that he will do a good job for the
nDtton growers.

MARE BORN IN MINE

KLEIN, Mont, July 25.-P)-

Star Lore
STAR LORE
1t Is the Earth, not Sun, that Makes
the Journey
BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
The sun makes an apparent Jour-
ney around the earth once in
365 IA days. The time required for
its journey from equinox to equinox
north Of the equator Is 1856 IA days,
while its time from equinox to equi-
nox south of the equator is but ITO
days. In other words, the northern
summer is z IA days longer than
the northern winter. But while the
sun is south Of the equator it is in
that part of its apparent orbit WHERE
it comes 3 per cent nearer to tEB
earth, causing a speeding up Of its
apparent annual rotary motion.
This acceleration accounts for the
shorter period Of the apparent
southern half Of its orbit.
