He has Just finished a trip among the stores in tne central west and the south where he-accompanied his. championship herd of purebred Guernsey cattle throughout the state fair circuits ending at the National Dairy show in Memphis. Tenn. At this exposition his herd won eight out of 13 first awards in the single: animal classes and four out of five first awards In the group: classes.

Tne" same animals wnicn won these high awards at Memphis are being shown at the Pacific International exposition in Port land. Speaking of general conditions as he saw them throughout the country during his1 decent trip. Mr. Penney said: "Prosperity Is general throughout the country. In certain sections there may be a let down from the high peak of a lew years ago. bnt these sec tions are Isolated and the condi tion Is purely local. I ; traveled throughout the great small grain areas of the central west, through the corn country and through the cotton country of the south. Corn was never better. The farmers in the corn and small grain country are using dairy cattle and beef stock feeder to convert their huge crops into profits. In the manufacturing districts. huge , production has made itself felt In lower prices and the buying raiue of the dollar is increasing. aecuonai lines ana barriers are being destroyed and now the east is interested in, the west and the northwest, the south looks to the central west and the east and there is a general distribution of prosperity." Exposition Praised Commenting on the Pacific In ternational Livestock exposition. Mr. renney said. "This part of the - country has always been looked upon as a great dairy and livestock (section.

Many eastern and central western breeders are at the exposition In Portland They have come to study how the dairy tarmers in this section of tne country develop their dairy neras. At the start, 26 years ago, the original store operated by Mr. Penney did a total volume of $29, ooo in the first year. This year the total volume of the chain will reach 3190,000,000. The original policies of. the founder still con trol the operations of the present group which is the greatest retail merchandising force, in the en tire field of dry goods.

STATE S PROPERTY S Property valuations of the state for the year 1928 exclusive! of pub lic utility corporations which is fixed by the state tax- commis sion, aggregates $953,958,046 as against $946,826,736 for the year 1927. The decrease In the county valuations for 19128, as compared with 1927, is approxi mately $7,100,000. The tax levy for 1929 will - be based ion the property valuations for 19128. Earle Fisher, state tax Commis sioner, explained that there would be a slight increase In the public utility valuations, but that this would not be sufficient to offset the decrease in the county valua tions. The reduction in the coun ty property valuations was due to the loss of $8,108,869, which was the assessed valuation placed en national bank stock In the state of Oregon. Collection of a1 tax on national bank stock was held to be Illegal In a recent decision of the federal court in Portland.

Beady, black, knowing eyes from face to face, like oil. Byrd thought she would like to know just what he war so care fully concealing from the world. Then she knew she wouldn't like to know. It was, no doubt, some thing sordid. His wife, Margy. knew, but she would never tell. She had a strange, old-fashioned pride that sealed her lips. A momentary tremor seized Byrd. Didn't most women need to develop that protective Instinct toward the men they married, and learn to conceal their faults? And again she had a strange fore boding that some day she would be defending Larry with all the fierce loyalty of which she was capable. CHAPTER IV MAROY was a sweet little who looked completely worn out by the exigencies that she had three lovely children Her whole life was centered in them and in her home Byrd liked her. Byrd liked her point of view, but thought she took her children too seriously. Mar gy squeezed all the fun out of life. "When I have a baby." thought Byrd, with a little thrill running up and down her backbone, "it's going to be all fun. It'll be just like playing 'keeping house' when I used to borrow Jenny and Jinna." "Where will you live?" asked Margy. "There are such lovely suburbs around Cleveland. We're almost out In the country our selves." "I'd love to have a little house rather far out." said Byrd, let ting ner mind hover over this entrancing thought for a md ment. "With a garden! We've always had a lovely garden at home! Mother took care of it herself. Wouldn't let anyone touch it. Father called It moth er's Eden, and said If he as much as put his Adam's foot Into it. it seemed to threaten to curl right up and move away!" For an instant Byrd's voice choked a little at the thought of things at home moving alone without her. Byrd and Marj?y sat and talk ed. Margy told her all about the children, and especially the baby. and not one of them." she said, foudly, "has been a bot tle baby." "We're going to buy a little house," Byrd heard herself con fiding. "I'd love a bungalow. We've been so rushed we haven't even discussed just where we'd like to live. I think Larrv's about decided, though. At first were going to the Coronado un til we look around." Jack overheard Byrd's last re mark. "I'll say you've got Larry las soed, all right." he interrupted them. "I didn't think there was a woman living who could lead Larry to the h-alter (good Joke. eh?) nor to mention a little white house with green shutters and a cow in the pasture.

Jack seemed to be enjoying the vision of a domesticated Larry, for he continued to smile to himself. "I don't think you ought to say things like that to Byrd," said Margy, after Byrd had left them. "Oh mush!" Jack answered ir ritably. "Why In heaven's name can't you wives leave us alone! Always finding fault about some thing or other! If you cant critlclie me. you have to criti cize what I say about someone else!" He walked off sullenly, and Margy sighed. Jack was right, In a way. she told Byrd confiden tially. She had troubles of her own with Jack and the children, and why did she need to antici pate the troubles of other people? "I've never learned to manage Jack." she said. "I hope you'll start out different than I did." Margys mind flew back over the earlj years of their marriage and she told Byrd of those Joy less days and nights., when Jack rursued the even course of his bachelor days, even , though mar ried, never allowing domestic life to interfere in the least with his plans for his own diversions and pleasures. Thre-e nights week he played poker or hung around one of many clubs or orders to which he hislonged. Joining always, as a matter of "business". And be had any" number of friends, who, like himself, regarded their homes merely as places to sleep, and where they occasionally con sented to eat a meal. When the children came, he was so Irritable with them that Margy was glad that he spent his evenings else where. But she never, considered di vorce. Never! As long as hfc supported them she wouldn't de prive her children of a father, no matter how bad a one he proved to be. And she never complained.
