Soil productiveness can best be
maintained when intertilled,
small-grain, and leguiminous or
grass crops are grown in the
order named and in recurring
succession on the same land.

The use of airplanes, power-
boats, sailboats and other float-

concentrating, rallying, or stir-
ring up migratory waterfowl to i
improve shooting conditions has i
been prohibited by a Federal
regulation.
A one-crop system of farming
ultimately leads to disaster,
whereas diversification and crop
rotation lead to well-organized
and profitable farming.

humls hastily on her apron and took
down the receiver. Just ms she opened
her lips to say. "Hellosbe heard
her own mime spoken In her ear as it
were:
"Dorothy Baxter? Oh, don’t a-k
her! Sbe conies weaving her conn
—never gets out of It. you know."
Dorothy hung up the receivt r soft
ly. A heat that eas greater than tin.*
of her cook-sti v« played over her
cheeks. She looked down her front
and saw on oid checked apron that
Noe too patches und a carefully
mended rear.
".NVver gets out of one!'" The
words stll played at her vac. Sha
had reeugaiaed the voice It was that
of her husband's si.-tvr, Manila
Knapp, who lived two doors down.
There had been it high wind the niaht
before and doubtless the v. ires had be-
come crossed. Teat was how she had
heard MarlUa expressing her opinion
of her sister-in-law to—whom? Dor«
thy knew that also. Marllla had been
speaking to Helen Collier, who was
evidently planning a party or some-
thing. And Manila was seeing to it
that Dorothy was uot to be asked.
Of course Dorothy had always
known th«t Mar!!In did not like her,
that she had never recovered from the
resentment she had harbored against
Dorothy for winning Richard Baxter.
Vet In the eleven years Hint hud
passed, Dorothy, In spite of her very
ordinary heritage, had made Ith-hard
a fine wife. She liad saved his money,
kept bis home, reared five babies to a
school age; the youngest was just in
her first primary year Richard wasn’t
a money-maker; he had been more
eliarni'ng Ilian efilcient to begin with,
but life was toning him down so that
be was giving a good account of him-
self. He was fond of his wife, his
children, his home, and Dorothy tried
to have all these to his liking. She
loved Richard as much as she had
when she married him and everything
that she did was for the sake of that
love. Even the fact that she must
work while other women played was
to her not an unpleasant one. Her
aprou wuc the insignia of her high
calling, and alter nil it became ht-r
belter than an evening gown.
But now MariHa's words had stung
her to a new consciousness of herself,
created in her a fresh impression of
her lliuitalloni. MarlUa did not re-
spect that siicrcd apron; ‘■lie made of
it a joke that could be wielded dis-
agreeably. Suddenly Dorothy's pa-
tient endurance of MarlUa broke down
and tears filled her eyes.
T!-t telephone 1 Again! She turned
her back upon it deliberately and
went back to her salad-making. She
would hear e.o more.
When therefore after a few minutes
the dour opened aud Helen Collier
entered Dorothy received her with
smiling calm.
"Isn't your telephone working?"
Helen demanded. "I made central
ring and ring trying to get yon."
"Won't you sit down? What Is it?"
Dorothy returned.
"What a beau,-til salad 1 Dorothy,
you are a w oncer I Well, it's just this,
I’ru giving a little party tonight, just
a few of my host friends, to meet
Mrs, Weltou. You know Mrs. Wei ton?
She’s fit. ring at the Harmons. I want
you particularly to meet her because—
what are you linking your head for?"
"I cant cone” Dorothy smiled,
though a litth fixedly.
"Jiut, iny dear, I won’t take no for
an answer! I'll appeal to Richard.
You must come.'1
"Bui I might wear my npron by mis-
take!" Dbrothy tried to laugh.
“You may if yc-u will only come.”
"if you want me that much—” Dor-
othy relented tremulously.
"You know i do, dear.”
•Tm the biggest fool to go," Dor-
othy told horeslf after Helen was gone.
"What med“ me say I would after
vvhat I heard Marllla say? oh, well,
I suppose it i* best to pass It all over.
Helen isn't to blame any way."
Dorothy dressed carefully before
supper, knowing that she would have
no time for primping afterward With

bed ot seven and probably woo to
sleep, und a dozen other important
things to nee to, II would take clever
managing on her part to get to Helen's
ut eight,
While she flew from this thing to
Hint one thought kept uppermost In
her mind.
"I Mustn’t forget to take off my
apron!"
When at the last minute she stood
before Richard for Inspection she
asked anxiously:
"Richard, are you sure I haven’t
toy apron on?"
Her husband scanned her tMderly,
then drew her forward into a hearty
embrace.
"You ore all right, Dor. I would
match yon up against any of them."
Dorothy thrilled.
“You mean, Rich, that I do not show
much wear and tern- after eleven
years."
lie smiled Into her eager, upturned
fHCC.
"You ore a Huh? plumper, perhaps,
but that Is becoming. I hate ’em
skinny, like Marllla. now. She ought
to do somethin? for It."
Dorothy laughed at this sally.
"She does do something all the time
—to reduce. Oh, Rich, you old honey!"
Then she kissed him and sped away.
It was a bright little company that
bad gathered In Helen tVilior’s great
living-room, and Mrs. Welton was the
central point of brllllnuce. < 'lever,
cultured and an authoilty on home-
making- site responded cordially when
Helen Introduced Dorothy, adding:
■ Mrs. Baxter is the model housewife
of cur community, Mrs Welton."
But where was Marllla? Two or
three were tn-klng the tjuostluu when
there lame a liurry of u late entrance
and Marllla appeared. Sbe was hur-
ried, a little breathless, but as e'er
gorgeous In si quins and luce.
"Tom brought u it.au heme to din-
ner," *he explained, "and that stupid
new maid of mine couldn’t seem to do
a thing tight. I bad to go into the
kitchen to arrange the salad. Fancy !
After I was ill dressed, too, for ibis
CVCMsh It."
Dorothy, turning from Mrs. Weltou
as Marilia advanced, v, us conscious
tli.i! every eye in the room was fixed
iq-on Iter sister-in-law. Then the saw
that MarlUa was wearing an apron

Miss Chapman gave a little giggle.
Si-me one else laughed outright. Mu-
rltla gave a glance downward and her
dttrk f-tce turned crimson.
"For mercy's sake! she breathed.
Dorothy was trying to appear uncon-
scious of what happened when MarUln
came to Iter.
"Why don't you laugh, too. Dor?
You ought to," she said, a little bit-
terly. Then ns Dorothy struggled to
find something to say: "The Joke is
on me and it serves me right. The
Joke has been on me rigid ulcng for
that matter. You are a superior qual-
ity, Dor, and lids apron business
proves It."
It meant a great deal for Marilia to
say that, und Dorothy realized It as.
quick to forget und forgive, she patted
her sister-in-law’s shoulder.

Euit Indian Goddess
Propitiated by Hair
la connection with certain village
festivals In the liadme stale lit India,
there is a peculiar custom—that of
having the hair stand with a view to
presenting it to the goddess of the
temple.
It D not the ordinary crowd that
one sees sitting before the profession-
al barber iu the vleinlry of the tem
pie, fur oij tin se occasions there are
more women and children than men.
Thousands ol' people gather on tUo
feast day of the particular goddess,
nuil those who have, on account of
some cute from illness, or because of
some special blessing, or even that
some special favor may bo shown,
vowed to give their hair to the god-
clots approach the llact set apart lor
the hat lairs.
These are to be counted, not by one
or twos but by ucores in u big festival.
Quickly they carry on their work, us-
ing nothing but the old-fashioned
country blade (though one dues oe
casiotially sec one of foreign make).
No soap is used, but in a short time
the whole of the hair Is removed.
The ground round about is simply
covered with the masses shaved from
the women und children, for strange
to say, the vow doss not seem to ne-
cessitate the actual presenting of the
hair to the goddess. It is presumed she
is aware of the sacrifice made. Then
tiie shaved ones make their way to
the tsnk, bathe, change their clothe*,
and then make their way to the tem-
ple to give their offering of money,
the only thing that really matters to
the temple authorities.
Scores of women, thus bearing the
mark of tlio Hindu widow, the shaven
bead, move about proud of their ful-
fillment of the vow to the goddess.
Franklin's Adviee
The wtty to convince another, said
Benjamin Franklin, n shrewd observ-
er of human nature, Is to state your
case moderately and accurately, and
then scratch your bead or shake It a
little and say that is the way It seems
to you, but that, of course, you may
be mistaken about It; which causes
your listener to receive what you have
to say, and as like as not, t urn ubout
and try to convince you of it, since
you arc In doubt; but if you go at it
in a tone of posit Ivpncsa and ar-
rngance you only make an opponent

realize that pullets are almost

Swan, .Mate fur Life
One life and one love is the
j rule with swans. These beauti-
j ful wild birds are sometimes bred
I and reared in capacity, and the
I experts of the Department of
Agriculture tell of their mono-
gamous habits in advice to pros-
pective breeders. “Swans are
slow to mate,” they say, "and re-
main mated permanently. The
satisfactor way to buy them
therefore, js in guaranteed mated
pairs. Under not mat circum-
stances never separate the birds
j of a pair.’’
