"Remember, my dear," she said grandly, "that you are an Orvllle." "Well," asked Diana testily, "exact ly whut does that mean? First, and always, I am uu American, and If my mother chose to fall In love und marry Into an aristocratic old fnmlly, why should I be coutlnually persecuted with the fact?" Gwendolln' shrugged. "Mother was a sweet nnd lovable lady. You greatly resemble her pic tures, Diana. But she wore herself out endeaorlng to live up to the re qu!rementsof father's family, falling dispiritedly In the end. Mother's tastes and ambitions were simple and home ly, like J om s, my dear. The lest of us are all OrUlles. And I don't mind confessing here, In the secrecy of my boudolr.Uhnf my marriage was made In accord with the dlctntes of father's family. I owed them that. Aunt Phyl lis Orvllle talked with me often con cerning my duty, and lknew what would bo expected when Grandmother Onllle, In my girlhood, sent me nbroud. I was supposed to repay that kindness by a gratlfjlng marriage. And I did. Gordon Is a banker, com ing from one of the finest families in Boston. There wns a boy In the co-ed college I attended " Gwendolln paused. Her usually shurp black eyes were filled with dreams. "Neer mind that episode," she went on. "I merely refer to It to show jou tlint we nil hnve our loe uffnlrs and that they are easily put In nbej ance. I admit I rather fancied this stranger admirer of yours, until Lois Adorns learned accidentally of his boarding plnce. My dear I Think of a man of the slums presuming to force his nttentlons upon you I I declare It makes me furious when I.reaJIze how Lois must hae laughed In secret over our humiliation." "She need not laugh," Diana said, her quiet tone In pleasant contrast to her sister's excited one. "John Dalton Is a nmn, whether he lives In the slums or the exclusive park, though that 'slum' remark is an exaggeration, lie does board, he told me so frankly, In nn old and shabby part of the city. He Is trying to make his way up. In his profession, alone and unaided. He thought," added Diana hrncly, "that w e could marry sooner that way. And nothing In the world," the girl raised her loely, fluRhcd face, "Is of conse quence to John now, save our mar riage and his profession." ' Gwendolln Jumped to her feet. "Good heavens I" sh.e exclaimed. "Has jour affair gone as far as thot7 Wlmt will father say, If you persist In Oils foolishness?" the sister walled. Dlimn arose. "I don't know," she replied. "I guesa I'll go ami nsk him." . - Her father wus not In any room of the upurtment which they shared together, so she sought him later In his ollice. "Futl.cr,"'tlie young, loed daughter asked abruptly, "what became of Aunt Phyllis Oryjlle, and why were my slstera obliged to live up to her snobbish standards?" "Ui ought up like a princess, I'll Ills was," be bald. "We Orvllles hud a ptetty line home, big stone pliice facing Onllle conrn vl'hyllis Inherited the propel ty and disposed of It, I suppose, long ago.

"Fa ther, I cume to talk to jou about Court street. It's where a mini Ihes that 1 loe." , "Loe," whispered Colin Onllle. He stilled uow ut his daughter. Diunu nodded. "John Is a eh II en gineer, futhur," she went on, "und yotir own friend Mr. Stewurt thinks a great deal of htm. But Gwendolln Is hu miliated because I want to marry John, for I lyu an Onllle, mill he lives ou Court street." The sentences came In a confused rush. DellbetuteJy her lather urose and t;ot Into his coat. "We w 111 go and see Just wlieie ha Is," he said. "We can tulk things oer on the way."

"Dlttnu," he cried, "my dear, this la my old home." He shook his bend sadly, then smiled his whliusl cat smile. "That, for the lasting glory of a proud name, and a proud houso." An old lady opened the door. Slio was a tall, white-haired woman, and she opened to them us one conferring u ftnor; then all at once her sternness melted Into ono longing cry. "Colin," she aald, "Oh. Colin I" "To think," Diana's father said later, as the three sat In the old parlor together, "that you murrlcd n poor man abroad, Phyllis, my dear, and wero too proud to confess to your fatu tly.

OUU COUNTV AGENT The editorial in your issue of Juno 8th, entitled "Benefits of Di rection" stales the principle under lying tho employment of a county agent by Malheur county. Prob ably nothing can bo snld to alter the beliefs of thoso who oppose our having an agricultural adviser, but in view of the continued opposition on tho part of some of our tax-payers to same I desire to state, for the benefit of that portion of the public which is Ignorant of the value aris ing from tho work, why It is that tho Ferin Bureau stands solidly bo hind tho retention of tho county agent. . Tho retention of thjs official whom Mr. Becker is pleased to call useless and "a farmer of tho farmers" by tho County Court Is primarily duo to tho Insistence of tho County Farm Bureau on same. The responsibili ty for the employment rests upon the latter organization. Our mo tivo In this iscjthat thereby our coun ty may obtain tho benefit of State and National assistance which other wise would bo lost. No man of In telligence Inveighs against the ac tivities of tho National Department of Agriculture, or bemoans its cost. The saving which it has mado for tho agricultural interests of tho country, thereby adding to the wealth and prosperity of tho nation Is beyond calculation. Tho work of the county agent is designed to do for us in a smaller way what the department is doing nationally. The space allotted me does not per mit of a recital at this time of what has been accomplished by the work, but In the opinion of unbiased ob servers progressive farm methods and new measures are adopted five or six years sooner In counties hav ing agricultural agents than In coun ties where they do not have them. A striking instance of this is found In the State of Kansas, where a wheat developed by tho Kansas Experiment station and distributed In 1918 through county agents. pro duced over .a period of years .an average of 3.5 bushels per acre, over any other winter wheat grown. It would seem in viow of the higher yield obtained that farmers gener ally would have changed to tho higher yielding variety. Did they do so? In thirty-threo counties having county agents in 1919, 1034 farmers adopted and grew the new wheat, while In fifty-ono counties without county agents only 329 farmers grew it. We have an illustration of tho same thing nearby. Those who are in torosted In farm matters. know what tho development of Hybld 128 wheat at tho Pullman Experiment station has dono for tho wheat farmers of tho Northwest in tho way of in creased yields. Over in Union county which has a county agont, ftvo carloads of this seed were sown last fall; while In Baker County ad joining where, they aro saving the salary of a county agont none was sowed so far as can bo learned. In Union county there are more than 160 silos; there are but few in Ba ker county. Sulphur and land plnster tiro applied to alfalfa In Union as a wido-sproad practice, whllo In Baker county tho applica tion is rare. Other illustrations of the benefits which follow tho employment of a live county ngont could bo given. If Mr. Becker and his confreres will tako the trouble to Inform them selves as to what is being done by the county agent nnd the Farm Bu reau to improve conditions as they now exist amongst our farmers they will find they represent tho only construct,lvo force that Is Booking to improve fiose conditions. Tho Farm Bureau has no quarrol with Mr. Beckor or anyone olse over the subject ofBOOd schools or of their teachers being well paid. Wo stand for more and better schooling, not less. Howevter, Mr. Beckor's statement that tho salary of the county agent comes directly out of tho pockets of the tax-payers of the county Is only partially true. In ono way tho county really pays none of It whatever. Tho budget for this year nnd for the years heretofore has been made up from funds sup plied from Malheur county, the State ot Oregon, and the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. The county ' .ama wat AAnUlhl has never yet contributed nn amount equal to the county agent's salary and in effect tho salary is paid by tho State of Oregon and tho U. S. Department of Agriculture, Tho money which the' cpunty appropri ates Is nearly, but not quite, suffi cient to pay the current expenses of conducting tho work. In other words, the county appropriates neart ly enough money each year (this year tho amount is ?2G00i00) to pay for office expenses, including stenographic assistance, office sup plies and equipment, car upkeep and travelling expenses. It amounts practically to payment by tho coun ty of tho current oxponses Incident to the work of a county agent fur nished us by the State and Federal Governments. Thomas W. Clagett.

Find out how much more it will cost to repair or rebuild your property than it will to protect it with paint. Rot ting buildings are a waste and an extravagance. When you paint use the best paint.
