' .'Well!" Katherine endeavored to comfort me. "You won't have to worry about it for a few hours. anyway. . There's nobody to notify. is there, until the troopers and the redoubtable Ticers come back again?". H "No," I returned, relieved at the reprieve from responsibility, and then we waited In silence until the woman we had, seen came out of the house and ran toward us "Ma-mee coom ofer right away," she said,' and, without further ceremony,' whisked back to the house. ; . - "That.

The attitude of commercial bodies toward agriculture is not always understood.' It is often misinterpreted even to the point of ridicule. Commercial meetings are held in which; farm problems are discussed and' ways and means devised to aid agriculture in; its struggle for independent, ; profitable progress. And to this end committees are formed, j plans laid and assurances of cooperation between the city ! organization and the rural organization or individuals given. .' . The city organigations act in good faith so far as they go in matters essential to "agricultural needs' using care that local interests are usually well conserved in the altruism of their efforts. This is natural and fundamentally-sound bus iness for ill concerned. - .."i f ! , But why this initiative "altruism this proffer of cooper ation from the commercial side?
