small to squeeze through mar

muscles tucked under.
Keep the shoulders level,

in any easy position. Keep your

Participation In
AAA Plan Gains

More North Carolina farmers
took part in the 1912 farm pro-
gram of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Agency than in any previ-
GUS program, according to figures
supplied by H. A. Patten, state
AAA executive assistant at State
College.
Records at the State AAA Of
flee, he said, show that of 240,-
4O4 farm operators in the state
last year. 228,24O participated in
the AAA program. A total of
213,045 farmers participated in
the 1941 program.
Payments to North Carolina
farmers for carrying out approx
ed soil-building practices and
crop adjustment measures a
mounted to $12,600,883 under the
1912 program, as compared with
more than $14,O00,000 in the pre-
vious year.
Productions in total 1912 pro
gram payments were due to au
tomato elimination of parity pay
ments because of increased mark
ct prices, and changes in the pro-
gram to meet wartime condi
tons, Patten said. "This tota.
payment is made up of maximum
payments which may be earned
on any farm cooperating in the
program.
| Use of ground limestone as {
soil-building material last veal
amounted to 479,926 tons, 329,
926 tons of which were obtained
through the AAA as a grant-of
aid material in lieu of conserva
ton payments. Application o:
phosphate materials amounted tt
,843 tons last year as compared
with "a, 478 tons under the 1874,
program.
Patten said that in a canvas!
now being conducted in every
county of the state, 2O8,O47 farm
ers have indicated their intention
to participate in the 1943 pro
gram.

Mark answered, with a deep note
in his voice.
The aisles of the conservatory
were tropical; tall ferns and
palms waved their fronds above
them; lights shone like stars in
the high arches overhead; foun-
tain played amid the full blown
blossoms of the lotus, its heavy
scent filling the air with the
opium of madness. Music came
to them softly. seductively, and
Marks hands closed on hers and
held them.
Her warm, soft hands trembled
in his; he knew why her dark
lashes swept her flushed young
cheeks; the tide had caught them
both. Madness leaped up in him;
in a moment he would have kiss
ed her, he would have dared even
that, for he knew she was in q
dream, carried away; then, sud-
denly, his sanity cried out within
him:

of misery he loved-loved al
first sight!
"I'm mad" he said, "stark
mad"-then he bent humbly anC
crushed her fingers against his
lips" forgive mel"
She was not angry; he felt that
as he looked up at her. Her eyes
were clear and bright, her face
had softened, her lips curved; she
looked at him a moment, silent
and then, softly:
2You've been unhappy-there's
mystery about your life. I can
see it," Suddenly she laid her
soft fingers lightly, a touch like
thistledown, on his short crisp
hair. "Some time you'll tell me,

dared not take her hand again

"Tll tell you some time and then
perhaps, you'll hate me for COM

She did not in the least under

feet; there was something about
him that fired her imagination;

lieved him guilty. Covertly now
he studied him; a gray face, a
worn old man, grown nightly
prosperous, but not happy; he had
lost his wife and three sons;

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

You've heard about packing
thoughts into a nutshell. Well,
two words that pack a good deal
of meaning about our supply OF
food are: produce and conserve.
The food that a family grows
in one garden may not look i'm
pressive. But add up food on
100000 farms and 100000 to
100000 Victory Gardens in
backyards and on vacant lots.
Do that, and you have a grand
total of food for war needs and
for home needs.
AS for conserving, every home
maker can help make the food
supply 60 farther and put the
food she has to good use. A

heathenish disregard of the con-
ventions, the hint of unhappiness
and proud endurance in his face;
all these things captured her fan
cy. That half hour in the con-
iservatory, twilight and fragrant
aisles, was a kind of a dream.
She was there in a dream when
someone came to take her off for
a dance. In a dream she saw
Mark, standing there in the ball
room door, watching her. His
eyes followed her wherever she
went, and there was that flame
of life in them. The girl, young
and romantic, was carried away
with it; she had never seen quite
such a man. Among the ball
room dancers he lowered like a
giant.
81 wonder who he is?' she
thought, and could not keep her
eyes away from the corner where
| he stood. She was angry with
herself; she was caught like girl
of sixteen! Caught by the mys-
terry about him.
He'd be a wonderful lover!'
lshe thought, dancing with Archie
Landon, and she blushed softly.
i Archie thought the blush was
for him, but an instant later,
whirling around in the dance, he
saw that they had been passing
Mark Grant. Landon set his
teeth.
"Pll get him out soon now!" he
thought.
/ But he reckoned without his
hostess. When another dance
claimed Pam, he found himself
near Mrs. Lynn.
| She was gracious. II want you
to stay to dinner, Archie. I've
just asked your friend, Mr.. By
ram. He's so unusual. Mr..
lBurleson thinks him interesting.
You're a good boy for bringing
him here"
Landon Redeemed furiously. II
don't believe he can stay to din
ner," he said hastily; II know he's
got an engagement-absolutely."
She looked frankly incredu-
lous.
"Why, Archie, he's Just accept
ed! I sent him to tell Pam just
now, SO she wouldn't invite
another person. We're twelve as
it is"
"You sent him" Landon pru-
IDENTIFY choked down the words;
he was raging at the thought of
Grant again with Pam. "The
fellows mad; he'll make love to
her!" But aloud: ''I'll speak to
him about it."
II shan't let him Off" Mrs.
Lynn replied coldly, "there's the
telephone-he can cancel his en-
gagement," and she turned to
speed a parting guest.
Landon, caught in the throng
about her. could not at first dis
engage himself. Then he saw
Mark Grant leaning over Pam,
his elbow rested on the high
mantel, his fine head was bent.
Landon could not see his face,
but hers was flushed and intent;
she was drinking in Marks
words, whatever they were, with
the wide intent eyes of a child.
Landon ragged again.
Course him." he said to him
self; "Tll have to get him out
or break his neck!"
But to reach him through that
crowd of fashionables, to get him
away from Pam, seemed for a
while impossible. Here and
there Landon was greeted by
friends and acquaintance. One
woman asked for Teddy Banks,
Notwithstanding heard that the
fine looking stranger was also a
cousin of Landon's-asked to have
Mark brought to her house.
Hes so interesting" she said;

Landon was in white fury
when he finally got Mark at the

CHAPTER III
Synopsis

Released from prison after
serving fifteen years for a MUIR
der he didn't commit, Mark
Grant goes to the office of a
lawyer named Fosdick to collect
a legacy left to him while he was
in prison. When Fosdick tells
him he will have to wait, Mark
accepts an invitation to a party
to help a young man named Ted
dy Banks win a $1,000 bet with
his friend Archie Landon. Mark
is to get half, $500, and new cloth
es. Archie introduces him to his
hostess, Mrs. Lynn, as Stewart

dance with Mrs. Lynn's niece,
Pamela Rodney, he sees Burleson

son-going toward Mrs. Lynn.

Pam. Its lucky; if he hadn't
come Aunt Henrietta would keeI

"Is Mr.. Burleson your uncle

threaded their way through the
gay throng; stopped here anc
there by first one guest and Their
another, all eager to greet the
girl.
"No, his wife-she died three
years ago-Was my aunt; he's
my guardian, that's ALL" Pam ex-
planned, "but he's good to mech
wonderfully! He's always good
you'll like him."
"Shall II" Mark pondered
smiling down at the dark head
below him. Then he caught Lam
don's eye across the dancers in
the ballroom and read wrath in
it. In a flash he understood. Lam
don was jealous!
They were in the conservatory
now, alone in the sweet scented
aisles, and something in his look
in the tense hardness of his face
seen in this light-gave her a
delicious thrill of fright. She
was young, and the touch of mys-
terry about him intrigued her fan
cy. He was so different!
'We've only just met, you
know!" she said, as lightly as she
could, but her lip trembled; she
was caught too in the tide of an
emotion that swept them togeth-

You can make progress, if you

and make a conscious effort to
improve it. To stand straight and

Keep your knees slightly bent

Joe (hoynski
 Passes Away

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1--Joe Choyn- ski, seventy four. heavyweight fight CT of an era when bare knuckles were giving way to five-ounce gloves, is dead here.
 Choynski's list of opponents in- cluded John L. Sullivan, Jim Cor bett, Bob Fftzsimmons, Jim Cree don, Kid Mccoy, Jim Jeffries, Pe- ter Maher and Jack Johnson. He participated in more than eighty fights from 1884 until 1904. He once knocked out Johnson in four rounds and had draws to his cred it against Corbett and Jefferies.
 Ring fans described him as lack ing the killer" quality, but as a forerunner-as was Corbett-of the Gene Tunney type of fighter, de- pending more on science than strength.
 Choynski bore few marks of a fighter, and was at his best, at times, in his infrequent role of af- r-dinner speaker.
 He came here eight years ago and had mixed little with the sport ing fraternity.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1-Apparent- ly a little confused over the nov city of training in the North, the New York Yankees have changed their plans again and said that pitchers and catchers will report to Manager Joe Mccarthy at Ash bury Park, N J., March IA.
 When the seashore site was se- lected a few weeks ago President Edward G. Barrow said the entire squad would go to work March IS, but it developed that Mccarthy thought this would be too early and subsequently, the date was switched to March 21 for all players.
 Barrow discloses that he had conferred with Mccarthy by tele- phone and decided to get the pitch CTS on the, scene early so they would be ready to pitch to batters when the remainder of the squad

 In an interview at the Hecken- sack Elks Club following bond- selling drive at a theatre here, Ruth was asked if he thought baseball would be able to continue uninter- rupted this season.
 T doubt it." the former home run king said.
 Of Northern training, the Babe declared it would develop more sore arms and sore legs than you can count"
 There won't be a pitcher" the Bambino forecast, who will be able to go more than six innings for a great many weeks after the season starts. It may ruin great many players"

OVER 100 ENJOY SlAL0m COURSE
 SKIING SUNDAY

With fresh snow and many skiers on the trail, yesterdays skiing was considered very good. The hickory riders still have their fingers crossed and feel they got lucky break in the weather over the weekend. As one skier put it: T was already to go skating, but along come the snow, so I took by skis and headed for the Slalom Course. You have to be versatile in this Juneau weather. :"
 Although many familiar faces were missing yesterday, the total number of skiers at the slalom area was well over 100. The new snow soon packed into an excellent skiing surface, and the ski tow which was operated during the afternoon by the Juneau Ski Club, provided many uphill rides.
 Waxing Is Problem
 The new snow which came proved a dilemma for many an unwary skier The temperature at the sla- lom course hovered at that mys- terious point between freezing and melting, and made waxing the main problem of the day With the right dope" the snow was tremendously fast, but with the wrong wax, a skier felt tna the was packing half the snow on the ski course on his skis.
 Flash" Disappears
 Joe Hartl, Duck Greek flash, prov ed to be the super waxer of the day. After spending half of his time preparing and applying a secret concoction of ski waxes, he disap- peared down the ski trail in an un- rivaled burst of speed.
 The following skiers treked to the upper ski cabin over the week. end. reported good time, and lots of new snow in the upper ski bowl: Vieda Morrow, Eleanor Morrow Charles Tobin, Bill Pege, Tom George and Oscar Erikson.
