of these areas and this huge section Is kept
under constant Government supervision to pre-
vent depletion, fire and overgrazing Of the
pasture land.
The reservation Of the forests, however, does
not mean that they are not put TO use, Tor
much valuable grazing land rs included within
the boundaries, and this is leased out TO HERDS
men. The lumber too is disposed OF under
the supervision Of forestry eexperts, who see
to 1t that safe and sane practices are carried
out. Proper protection Of the younger growth,
disposal Of the brush and other similar re-
strictions are enforced, guaranteeing per-
manent supply Of good timber.
The top soil Of the mountain land Is pro-
tected from the effects of erosion by the trees
which hold the water back, and the same thing
prevents the good bottom land from being
buried under eli sorts Of debris, which might be
washed down the mountain If there were NO
trees TO prevent Hoods.

During the immature or larvae stage the
wire worm causes about all the damage to be
blamed to 1t. This stage, however, lasts any
where from to 10 years, and the feeding
activity lasts only for about the three months
Of the Spring, the larvae fasting for the rest
Of the year.
It is given TO taking the line Of least re-
sistance and usually follows along the drin
rows In which the seed Is planted. The UNI
sportsmanlike behavior which doesn't give the

But this was hopslessly wrOngl She had COINS
to be quiet, to think, and here was the very
man whom she didn't want to see. She found
herself In panic and turned toward the door.
He blocked the way with quick movement
and his face was boyish and grave please
don't Co." he said. Lets look life in the face.
I win be your servant" He took her dressing
case and carried 1t away.
She was beWildered, amazed. She had come
to think, alone, to ask finally, perhaps, for her
freedom from the man to whom she had been
married and then TO 90 out to find love and
begin all over again-never mind money ana
houses and the social position at which her
mother had aimed. what did all this mean?
why was Curtis here?
He came back h,imming tune. 81 forgot
the sugar." he said, land is 1t lemon or cream?"
Lemon" She sat in her coat and hat
She had had other mems tea, especially froam
one whose studio had reeked OF artihciality
and faint aroma Of musk. She preferred the
smell Of grass and tobacco, the sight Of sun
burn and strength. The discovery came to her
then. And 50 they had tea together as though
they had really been married those wasted
years ago. The light had almost gone and
Curtis sprang TO his feet. Good Lord" ne
said there's dinner" and went out with .
rush. And She too said GOOD Lord" and
followed him into the kitchen at the other end
of the house.
CHE had never supposed that anything funny
- could enter into this. But when she
caught sight Of Curtis the finished man Of the
world, peeling potatoes in his shirt sleeves with
the concentration Of one who was engaged on
a work Of art, her laughter rang through the
room. Give me that thing" she said, and
took the pan and the knife. Peeling potatoes
was q woman's job.
He gazed at this girl fer a moment with
something new In his eyes. 1t might perhaps
have been hope And then he went TO the
stove. Watch me murder the steak"
And 50 day after day Of this pathetic week
went merrily by. Better and better friends.
they played this little game with every modern
convenience, including telephone. She peeled
and he cooked. She washed and he wiped.
She made the beds and, he whistling, used the
carpet cleaner as though he were cutting grass.
Laughter went with them through this sim
plicity. Spring was everywhere. They saw
each other for the first time without the town
veneer Health and sanity came to them hand
in hand.
She asked herself two questions when tslat
week had come to an end. WAS the Key 70
Paradise any nearer to her hand? Was she
going back any nearer the fulfllment Of the
mission she knew TO be Ltfe?" She looked
at the man whose chivalry had won her re.
spect and whose sympathy, though never
spoken, had stirred the love in her heart.
And he caught the look-the look for which
he'd been working. The writing that he'd
seen ON the margin Of the little book in her
room seemed TO be written on the wall. The
station cab arrived. "I love you, / love yOa,
he said. May I take you homer" al
How good was that smell Of grass and To-
bacco, when she hid her face on his coat.

CAN TON SEIZED
BY REBELS

SHANGHAI, April 80 G.NS).
The city of Canton was seized
today in a bloodless coup expected
by General Chen-Chitang, one Of
the leaders prominent in the
growing anti-Nanking government
movement.
The revolt at Canton, the di-
rect outcrop of political dissen-
sion after Marking leaders forced
HUI Han-Min to resign the preSi-
dency of the legislative Yuan and
detained him as a virtual pris-
oner, was believed to be the first
step in a widespread armed rebel
lion against the nationalist gov.
eminent.
With the capture of the city
by the revOlutiOnaries, Chen
Ming Shu, appointed by Marking
as governor of Canton, fled to
avoid arrest.
1t was reported here that the
radical leader, Wang Ching Wei,
engineered the Canton coup from
his refugee headquarters az Hong
kong.
The score of generals controlI-
ing political and military opera
tions in the vast Chinese prov
inces have been watching develop
ments with calculating eye,
awaiting their opportunity to
form alliances and strike edvan-
tageous blows against the present
Marking regime.
