Thus far the OPA has made no
distinction between essentials and
non-essentials. Not only is this a
very difficult thing to do, but It IS
good politics to class everyone
alike. The war against imitation,
however. will never be won in this
war. The only way TO keep wom-

Security Prices
| believe that the Dow-Jones
Stock Averages will go to points
during 1913 higher than anything
seen in 1912; also that bond yields
and stock yields will tend to come
closer together. This may mean
a decline in the price Of low-cou-
pom, long-term bonds and an in
crease in the price OF many stocks.
This especially applies to stocks Of
companies which are not handl-
capped by cumulative preferred Is
sues or bond issues. Remember,

Crop Situation
With normal weather conditions
there is every reason to believe
that more crops will be raised in
this country in 1913 than In 1912
and that farmers should benefit ac-
cordingly. on the other hand,
there always is the possibility of
bad weather conditions including
droughts and floods. The large
amount OF wheat. corn and other
grains In storage, however, should
help offset any crop failure ia

unaware of others watching them,
Of the perfection Of their two move

The night that was cold and her
cheeks that were warm gave her
a glow Of beauty. She felt the sing

he caught her close to him to avoid

She didn't say anything when he

took them, murmuring, Thank

toward the house on the high hill
At the crest Of the first small hill
she looked back and found that he
was standing there looking after
her.
She hummed the waltz tune,
swinging along and looking at the
stars.
A hundred yards ahead Of her,
two other figures left the path and
a man scrambled up a little knoll
after the figure Of the girl with
him.
See. Tony! / want you to see the

here a thousand years ago when /

Tony's eyes followed Pamela's
only as far as the pond below, and
there they searched the skaters for
the figure Of the man IN cavalier
costume and the girl with the bill
lowing purple skirts. His scowling
glance could no longer find them
and his mouth was set in q tight
line.
