We have very heavy day in front of us," said Garth Agency, slipping into top coat and turning neatly out of Eyle Street. First of all, we have to go to a wedding by a justice of the peace"
 Oh, but I don't want-I don't like" Jenny's protest, half-bliss- ful, was drowned by his laugh ter.
 You are a forward huSsy. This is not your wedding, but Miss Bri- gitta Deering's. She is remarrying her last husband, and as I have been urging it for months, am to be a witness. You will wait outside in the car, ur-less the bridegroom trags you tn, too..
 The bridegroom?"
 Ryder Vale. You knew Vale was Brigitta's first husband, didn't you?"
 Jenny murmered something. It didn't seem very much to matter what.
 And then" pursued Agency, i've are going shopping. When we have bought you a ring, we have to buy you "A birthday presents, and some silver strings to tie them up with No, I know it isn't your birthday, but it happens to be mine and in future we are always go- ing to celebrate the wrong birth day on the right day. You follow me, of course?"
 And then?"
 "Then you have to find Georgie and Eddie and tell her she had no business to leave you all alone in that apartment at night, with out word of explanation. And then you have to come back to town to dine with the Old Man. And then"
 And then it will be dusk" said Jenny, too softly for his to hear. ''The loveliest time Of the day" His shoulder touched hers as the car moved smoothly forward. Now they were slipping past Mrs. Big gerss' shop Now they must be a distant distorted shadow in her copper urn. Now they were past Mills and now they were in the Park and the golden day was theirs.
 You happy, my little sweetest heart?"
 "HapQy. ."
 Now they were speeding away from all loneliness and unhappiness for ever more Now she was love- ly and beloved and guarded and companioned. A golden girl! Happy, my girl?"
 In the circle of Eddie's arms Georgie stirred.
 "Yes, I'm happy" She moved so that she could see the dreary outlook from the room in which they stood And I'm going to stay happy she added, half to herself. Lets go house-hunting, my dear"

An American Voice.
Cincinnati Ennuirer.l

NClnclnnau EnqurerD
 Among Memorial Day speeches that of Former Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, stands out as masterpiece of patriotic oratory.
 Senator Reed, at Arlington, at his best. His entrancing oratory thrilled the patriotic heart But it was his stern indictment of the pale anaemic pacifist whose beliefs and formulas cast reflection upon the Nations defenders living and dead which should inspire us to keep to the old faith"
 No pulpit Illumination calling for the cancella- tion of international debts, for the relief of a stricken and unregenerate Europe-no proposal that the American taxpayer ought to and pay the entire indebtedness of the World War rang out upon the sacred airs of Arington-as was the case in number of speeches made elsewhere On the contrary, Senator Reed pointed out to the worth lessness of treaties, which well may be "but paper pacts quickly consumed in hatreds Smoulderng fires, and to the paucity of good resulting to Am erica from conferences and conventions proposing and pledgng programs of international amity.
 In the wide sweep of history Senator Reed envisioned marching hosts hastening toward one incomparable goal-the goal of human liberty a majestic traverse which found immortal culmina- tion on the battlefelds of the American Revolu- tion. He adjured this people that because of the spirit of 76 today enjoy thei widest civil liberty that the races of mankind have known.
 James A. Reed is an American of that strong type so much needed in these days.

 "Oh!" whispered Georgie.
 It was as though mist had cleared away between her and MT. Agency. Behind his lazy cour- tesy, she had glimpSed something that she recognized as deep, vi- tai demand. In his eyes was a light that had been in Eddie's eyes once. Before she had spoilt love by pricing it so high, before she had spoilt marriage by haggling over it; before she had chosen clothes and glitter and good times instead of the little house where she would make the curtains and Eddie would mow the lawn.
 She dragged herself to her feet and she was trembling.

Under the partial payment plan
they will have to pay not only the
burdensome interest charges each
year but the added burden Of re-
payment of a portion of the loan.
The capitalists are forcing these
repayments because thousands Of
fathers are going broke and they
want to get as much as possible
out of them while they can exploit
them. They can foreclOse on the
mortgage much sooner since it will
be more difficult for the farmers

Chairman

New York, N. Y. July &c.
A. Hathaway, chairman of the Ma

terday to the press, in which he
ridiculed the "Red Bank-plot"
story cooked up by Melvin A.

lean Bankers association, and the
president of the First National
bank in Chicago, as a cover up for
the hundreds of banks which have
robbed people of their few dollars
in savings, as we'll as the fore
closures of hundreds of thousands
of farm mortgages by the banke.
eve don't whisper. Communists
never whisper" said G. A. Hatha-
way. eve have been telling people
in our campaign speeches that the
bankers are deliberately putting
the farmer on a starvation basis.
In the state of Mississippi alone,
forty thousand farms were auc-
toned off in one day this year,
because of mortgage foreclosures
and non-payment of taxes. The
average income per farm household
has dropped from 1887 in 1929
also a crisis year in agriculture
to 1857 in 1881. And it is still
lower in 1892. Our farm plank is
quite open and definite on this
question. The Communist plat
form says: "The emergency relief
for the poor farmers without re-
strictions by the government anC
banks; exemption of poor farmer;
from taxes and no forced collec.
ton of rents or debts"
Against the Capitalist System
"The Foster meetings through
: out the farm sections in the north

Hathaway, "have been great dem
onstrations of the agrarian popu
lation against the bankers. W.
