Their noticed It. I'm troubled about
my youngster."
But why?"
"She writes that she's FED TO the
teeth with Bar Harbor. II isn't like
her to want to come back to slow
little town like this when she could
be having d lot OF fun elsewhere.
Her mother has a big place there,
you know"
Didn't Kilcran know that Pa
meia and Tony were showing all
signs Of falling In love? Barbara
wondered.
Il suppose Pam told you about
the er circumstances
of her mother bringing her back
east last autumn"
Pamela hadn't, but Barbara MUIR
INJURED something that might pass
for either a yes or no.
1T seems she's eating her heart
out for lad in Sante Fe. Was en-
gagged to him last summer. Her
mother didn't think she was old
enough, or something"
Barbara said. "She's pretty
young"
mot too young TO know what
she wants" He was going to say
that Claire wasn't much older
when she married him but, think
ing that Claire obviously hadn't
known her own mind, he let it go.
"At first I was going to take 1t
lightly, but now I'm beginning to
worry a trifie. This wanting to
come back here and-as she says
keep house for me, Is a bad sign.
I'm wondering IL I shouldn't invite
this chap to come east and take a
look at him."
"Oh, no, not without asking Pam
first" she blurted impulsively.
you might find :" Her voice
trailed off. She couldn't very well
say that Pamela wasn't the kind of
girl who'd be In love with two
men at one time. And unless she'd
misread all the signs, she could
read alteration in Pamela's eyes for
Tony. About Tony she was not so
sure.
Tom chuckled. Anyway, I've a
surprise for her. Poor little kid, we
must have been mighty stern par
ents. The post Office sent up a
bunch Of letters from Mexico ad-
dressed to Miss Betty Brown,
with a note saying Pam'd been
picking them up herself. She must
have been afraid for US to know
she was writing to him. I'm saving
them for her."
A bright red nag Of danger
waved wildly In Barbara's mind.
She had an idea that whatever rea-
son Pamela had for getting letters
she didn't want her family to know
about, 1t was NOT because she was
afraid to have her family know she
was writing love letters. Pam
wasn't afraid Of anything. And she
had reasons for everything she did.

LUNCHEON WAS eaten very
swiftly, 1t seemed to Barbara. She
ate warm fruit cocktail, tepid to-
mato soup and rubbery steak as II
it were her last meal on earth,
tasteless but necessary to attaining
another world, and then, having
wrapped herself in a kind Of pro-
tective coma, realized that the
walters were pouring coffee, that
the room was blue with smoke and
Howard Temple was on his feet in
PRODUCING her.
Get up. Bow. Fix your eyes some
where in space and begin. That
was the formula. She got over the
first three parts as she had prac-
ticed at home, but when the speech
began. it was not the speech that
shed learned.
From far AWAY whole planet
II seemed-she heard her own voice
beginning: From the first day that
! came to South Wintridge a few
years ago, wanted to be an in
tegral part OF it," Other
phrases came. 1.-THE beginning
Of any relationship, whether it is
to be a personal or a business one,
must be based on reciprocity.
Not what you sell or buy, but what
you give to each other equally.
There is no such thing as a small
town in business. Everything is in
ratio. &. Wherever you find sue
cess you find those who want and
those who serve. The secret
of successful American community
life is based on this simple princi-
pie" Phrases she had not
known she meant to say went to-
gether into a speech that had a
ring Of truth and utter conviction.
Thunderous applause, Of which
she was only dimly conscious, filled
the room. She was wondering II her
nose was as shiny as it felt.
Once more, with the aid OF wa
terry knees, she got to her feet,
smiled a glazed smile, and sat
down.
The next speaker was introduced
and gradually her mind began to
function and her body felt once
more as If it belonged to her.
She reached for a glass Of ice
water and lifted it to her lips, al
lowing her glance above Its rim to
sweep the room.
Directly across from her she saw
Tom Kilcran.
He was looking at her.
She meant to nod and that would
be all. But she smiled and saw his
smiling answer, after which feet
ing exchange she turned to Howard
Temple to ask for a light for her
cigaret-
Temple said something to her
about how did it feel to be a bust
nessman.
She told him that It was very
nice, all except making speeches
and going to the bank for loan,"

I Nervousness made her bring the
latter up; she hadn't meant to at
all.
Temple looked at her anxiously.
You're not going TO hold that
against US, Mrs. Wister? You come
in any time now and I'm sure you'll
find us cooperative"
The men were getting up at the
other tables. Barbara drew on her
gloves. She looked up.
Tom Kilcran was weaving his
way through tho stables, coming to-
ward her with unmistakable direc-
ton in his progress.
If there'd been one other woman
in the room, she would have
snapped her vanity open and pow
dered her nose. but a fine thing it
would be TO do that just because
Tom Kilcran was coming to her
side. Was there

the fine texture of his dark blue

the obvious pleasure in his eyes.

Her own stock went up and she

This was followed by a little
pause in which she murmured,

TO LET US EAT

With its heavy demands on man
power. its restrictions on farm ma
chinery and transportation, on fer
tiilzers and pest controls, and other
handicaps, the war, severely COM
plicating the job Of producing food,
emphasizes the question about va
riety and quantity Of our future
diet.
Our 1913 goal is for the greatest
production in history. Farmers will
make shifts that will enable them
TO meet the special needs Of the
United Nations, especially for meat,
dairy and poultry products, and the
oil crops. .....
With good weather and proper
government aid, our farmers can
produce the food needed, This does
not mean that we here at home
will have all kinds OF food, but we
can expect 10 have enough for an
adequate and nutritious diet, and
that will be ample our worry will
be about the men and women on
the fighting lines, and about stary-
ing people in nations less fortunate
than we. To meet all demands will
not be easy and farmers will need
all the help they can get. II will be
the Food Production Administra-
tons Job TO give them assistance
In obtaining necessary equipment
and supplies.
Farmers will be found ready TO do
everything humanity possible to sup
port fully the United Nations war
effort by producing essential crops
and livestock 70 the limit. They
know that farm production Is war
production.
About one-fourth OF all the food
we produce in 1s43 will be neces-
sary for military and lend-lease
uses. This puts farmers on the front
line Of war production, and they
will help carry the United Ma
tons offensive 10 victorious eli
max, by producing the food we
must send with our guns, tanks
and planes.
To get the farm production Job
done next year, II will be necessary
10 mobilize all agricultural re-
sources. OF course this means more
surveys-surveys to determine what
each farmer will need in the way
OF credit materials and other as
sistance.
January II Is the date set by
President Roosevelt as Farm Mobil-
ization Day. This Tuesday is TO be
"a symbol Of free America; a
symbol OF the might and produc-
tivity OF our nation, and a symbol
OF our unalterable determination to
put TO full use our agricultural re-
sources, as we'll as our other re-
sources, in the achievement Of
complete victory"
Farmers feel reasonably conf
dent about livestock production IN
less something unforeseen happens,
but as to dairy production, they
wonder IL they can get adequate
labor. They know what dairy prod
ucts mean in the diets Of United
States fighters and factory work
ers on war production lines, and to
the fighters and workers OF the
other United Nations, but they need
help.
Farmers are concerned also about
many other problems. They need
transportation facilities to get their
products to market, and they need
machinery and other equipment.
Farmers came through magnifi-
Gently on their production job last
year. In general, they met the
farm goals which had been esta5-
lished for 1912, and exceeded the
record Of 1871 by II per cent. Given
adequate assistance. they will set
new record for 1913.

majority. Perhaps it isn't quite as
compact as the pro-war bunch, but
it's pretty solid.
How far this alliance will stick
together on other issues. though,
still remains problematical.
Postwar peace planning is what
splits 'em.
Republicans, IN the main, are for
peacetime American isolation, but
some Of 'em favor world fedora
ton.
Pro and anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis likewise are divided both
ways. The pro-New Deal faction
undoubtedly is also pro-federation,
but, among the Democrats, there
also is a stable disagreeing ele-
ment, as witness Senator Burton
K. Wheeler, an economic radical
par excellence but a leading OPP
ponent of any alignment with for
eign countries. Burton might nat
urally be expected to plug for in
ternationalisrn, but he doesn't; he
fights 1t furiously.
This middle alignment is uncer-
tain. It'll take more votes to tell
the story.
Completely Scrambled
Historically speaking, the Re-
publicans should support a con-
centration Of the executive powers
o. government and the Democrats
should be against 1t. At present
it's all scrambled. Plenty Of Demo-
Gratis are republican and plenty
Of Republicans are democrats.
About the only difference can
see between 'em is that they're OF
opposing political parties. Their
dope is too confused to analyze.
Out Of ASS members Of the house
OF representatives there are 1O6
new members. The total is 222
Democrats, 209 Republicans and
four miscellaneous, but that does
not tell the whole story. The DEM
ocratic total consists principally
OF Democratic gains from the
south, which VIGOROUSLY Is anti
New Deal-even counting them as
Democratic New Dealers - which
they're not, by any means, for the
Democrats are principally anti
New Dealers. They're pro-war-
riors, but not economic reorgan-
lists.
The senate doesn't readjust as
= fast as the house Of representa-
tives does, not having as frequent
elections.
Nevertheless, the senators are
scared.
They've seen what happened to
their representatives.
Senate results have frightened
'en.
South Fears Wallace
Among other folk, they're afraid
Of Vice President Wallace. He's so
about New Deal that he's consid-
cred alarming. He's more so than
the president.
The verdict Is that he talks too
much.
The south doesn't Ike II.
Its reckoning is that he's an
Iowa-ite, who'd better be discount
ed from the southern standpoint.
Southern senators don't like him.
Nor do southern representatives.
In brief, It's too much a northern
administration, from the Dixie
angle.
You hear this from every direc-
ton OF Capitol Hill.
And Dixie viii be decisive IN all
sorts Of ways at this congressional
session.
It's tied up with the west agri-
culturally.
You can see this from the last
election returns.
Industrialism' and agriculture's
versions are somewhat cohesive.
