Like wartime shipbuilding, there will be millions of dollars to be written off in the mistaken venture of the government into price manipulation and marketing; experiments. There is a lot of Stuff that will come to light which is not being talked now except on the inside. Take wheat marketing in the northwest. A new mar keting machine was set up at Spokane with high-priced executives. It has been chiefly an addition to the burden of getting the wheat from grower to consumer. It is the Inter position of another cog in the machine. The farmers joined in the prospect of getting advances or loans at low interest rates. They will be fortunate jf they escape without bill for excess advances. The farmers had the same -experience with the 1920 wheat pool, and some of them were wise enough to stay out of this one. Then there is the wool deal. Ward's concern, the Pa cific, has bad a hard struggle because of the butting in of 11 1 ' A x 1 A J I Ufunliinnlnn me national, a separate group ueaueu uci m niisuiiiswu i n "ii il a.; e 1 nas come into vregon wim ine saiicuuu 01 me lumimai nuu cut into the legitimate territory of the Pacific. In the middle west there has been friction between the farm board marketing set-ups and other farmer groups in livestock marketing. Friction has developed in coast states over dairying organizations. Personal ambitions of those anxious 'for preferment and fat jobs play a part and a big part in causing the friction. Meantime, recognizing the futility of the work of the farm board, congress threatens to consider even more un wise legislation in the form of erport debentures. Admit tedly it is not easy to find a solution to the farm problem; but lacking one is no reason for launching a program which gives promise of doing more harm than good..

The small store was haunted with memories for him.

The memory of that first day when he had come in here with Ken and had seen her, a vivid and lovely child in black . . . As though someone had died working here in this still place which would never know Ardeth again. What would life do to her, he wondered, now that she had so carelessly defied it?

Had Tom been leaa concerned with his own unhappy thoughts he would have seen that the lit tie unmese gin was fighting a mental battle. But not until the last day, when Tom was checking over the last of the accounts, was Ah Ling's battle lost or won. On that day the spiteful arti cle' In the Spy appeared and the Chinese girl had learned of it by the curious wireless by which scandal travels. Tom was sitting at the cash register figuring when he heard his name called. Ah Ling stood before-him. a small figurine of jade in her green brocaded trous ers and coat, and she was labor ing under intense excitement. She shook' a copy of The Spy at Tom. Hare yvu seen this? What they dare to write about Miss Carroll?" The man's face darkened. Well never mind. Ah Ling. There are always rats in the world, you know." The slant black eyes flashed. "There should be rat catchers to catch those rats," she caught her breath, suddenly blurted out, "do you know who Is this spy?" Tom's eyes went wide with amazement at what he read In her face. "You know?" "Cyril TJnderhlll." Tom's hand was lying on the desk and it crumpled into a hard freckled fist. "How do you know that, Ah Ling?" 'My cousin Lee, he la the cook for Mr. Underbill. He knows much of the private affairs of this gentleman! Ah Ling's lip curl ed. "Did you notice this this sort of hatred with which he writes? Do you wonder why that hatred Is there, Mr. corbett? The words were pouring from her Hps in a frightened torrent. "I will tell you. It is because Mrs. Gleasoji hates Miss Carroll. She has great influence with The Spy -has Mrs. Gleason. She is often a visitor at Mr. Underbill s apart ment. A very favorite visitor " she finished insinuatingly. "You mean " Rosie Ling's face was redv but she was valiant. "A Chinese boy about an apart ment sees much. Mr. Corbett. And Chinese tell little to white people, But I know much that Mrs, Gleason does not think I know, Much that it would worry her to guess I know. And Miss Carroll was always kind to me." Tom's face was very 6erlous. He got up and walked over to the girl to stand looking down In the small Intense face. "You mean. Ah Ling, that that you want me to believe that Mrs. Gleason has been paying in discreet visits to Mr. Underbill's apartment?" Tom's conventional tongue found difficulty in find ing fitting words. Ah Ling looked frightened but she stuck stoutly by her guns. He face was popy red. "Would you call a visit of of several days when she Is suppos ed to be down South indiscreet, Mr. CJorbett?" "My gosh," breathed Tom, fer vently. Then, with mounting anger: "And the dirty little cat had the indecency to speak that way of Ardeth" "That's why I tell you!"
