When Mnxon Eliot stepped out on Ihe pint form to make bis ringing com tin ncenient. speech and Jessamine Far- ra felt the scrutiny of many pni-n of yes, friendly, curious, sympathetic, she field her head high. Who wouldn't be proud to be the sweetheart of "bril liant promise?" ' , He wasn't the valedictorian. That :oncclied, red-haired Walton purrett nas thut, but Maxon's rank was high, md with bis brown mop of curly hair, ills goodly height and bin clear, friend ly eyes, was he not good to look ut? Thut evening after young Eliot had fine out with Judge .Farm's eldest laughter, his honor sat a long time In l!ent thought. For neurly three years Vlaxon Eliot had been Jessumlne's numble worshiper, and Durrett, the jolf-eonfident valedictorian, had been ler devoted admirer. Durrett was one whom one would naturally expect to do things, and Eliot vus a young man of brilliant promise. The judge's preference inclined to the latter, but. he or any other would have to "make good" before he'd give his little girl to him. The Judge sighed thankfully. Jessa mine would always listen to "Father." little later when she shyly suggested that at the end of Max's first school year In Marlon (he'd been given the principnl.shlp of Marlon's academy), there would be a wedding, the Judge shook His head. ' A year Is all too short, little girl. Let him prove himself." . Jessamine smiled certainly. "Two years If you think best, papa but when Max Is a university president, we'll laugh about our caution, won't The Marlon school board, at the end of the year, very quietly asked Pro fessor Eliot to resign. It was not that he was not liked his thoughtful con slderatlon, his gentle courteous man ner, made friends, but somehow he had failed as the school's principal. That summer, through the recom mendation of, a relative, Eliot secured the editorship of the local paper in the large town of Hampden. For a yenr he wrote brilliant editorials, and strug gled valiantly to build up the circula tion of the paper, but at the end of the yenr the owner asked another man to lake the editorship. . Then when Jessamine, with her sis ter nnd parents, sailed for three years 9f foreign travel, Max understood that he was free. When the tljree years were nt an end and he heard the Farms were coming home, he managed somehow to scrape" together enough for a ticket to New fork. ' His was the first face .that Jessamine recognized on the pier. For an instant her heart bounded nnd despite the old world wisdom she had gained, she had to fight a foolish Impulse to lay her head on the shabby decency of his serge coat and tell him, among other things, that failure in business didn't matter. But . Fulton Newholdt, who for sis months had followed In their wake, was looking on and presently Eliot wns forced to step aside to make wny for their other friends. . "Strange that Maxon Eliot should have happened to be in New York the very day that we landed," the Judge remarked. Jessamine said nothing. She knew It hadn't "just happened.". Max had traveled those 800 miles just for sight of her I Well, he'd had it, and she . The day nfter they reached her home Newboldt, who . was their guest, asked her to marry him. Instead of saying, "Yes, please," as she bad contemplated, nud as she knew would delight her father and mother, she found herself saying very earnest ly, "No, thank you.". It , was four years before she saw Max again, and it was nt" the county fair. "I've been out West," he told her, "sort "of knocking about, but I'm doing some bookkeeping work for my cousin now, at the mills. His regular man had to stop awhile because of; 411 health." . He spoke cheerfully, but his mouth wore a subdued, conquered expression that was pathetic. Rob keeps me very busy, but I begged off today to run down here on the chance of seeing some of my old college friends," 'he remarked; but Jessamine looked Into his wistful eyes and translated his words: "On the chance of seeing you, dear, on the chance of seeing you 1" . Just then the 'red-haired valedic torian, now a successful lawyer and politician, stopped to speak to Jessa mine. ' "Pity ..about Eliot's being a disap pointment," he remarked when Maxon had aken himself off. "AH vision and no practicability. The wonder Is he hasn't man-led and dragged some wo man down, tool His kind generally do." , . Jessamine's heart grew hot with un reasoning .anger, but she laughed. "And. you, Sir.Knlght?" Durrett bowed low. "I'm waiting un til I have a position to offer a woman." "There's a gubernatorial election next year," she advanced tentatively. He smiled In return. "And the hol pollol will, who knows, Fair Lady?" The next ycat Maxon Eliot at the fair told Jessamine he'd got the place an postmaster at Harper several months before. ''So," he added, "maybe I can spare the money to run owr and see Durrett Inaugurated governor In December. Inspection's wire thing, Will you be there'" he ended, a trltte wistfully. "I I've promised I think sol" she answered. , ' Max understood hr embarrassment, und the look of defeat that had tempo rnrlly raised Itself settled back over Ids face. In November, Durrett wns elected governor of the state. Judge nnd Mrs, Farra prepared to give their daughter a very handsome wedding. ' . "Maxon Eliot to be tried by the United States court for fraud in the Harper postofllce !" These words con fronted Jessamine one day when she picked up the paper,. "Too bl a pwfectly Innocent fellow gets himself In a place to be technical ly guilty of crime, und liable to the penitentiary," her cousin, Will Payne, remarked, looking over her shoulder at her startled cry. "I've heard about it. Seems a discharged clerk's twisted some papers some wny, so the blame falls on the postmaster." ' "Max Eliot's' been adjudged guilty, and they're going to send him to prison, Jessy," Payne told her a few days Inter, "utdess.the President par dons him. Seems 'his friends are get- r ting up a petition." Jessamine fled to her room. VA lady wishes you to call to see her nt once, sir," a messenger boy said to Maon Eliot, two weeks afterward, when he was going to his room 'at his hotel, after a satisfactory interview with the nation's chief executive. ' When he went to the address given a figure In a blue traveling suit ran across the room, and then Jessamine Farra was clinging to him, crying soft ly, "Oh, Max ! Max, denr "Why, Jessy Jessy !" Astonishment wrapped him. "What is the matter?" "Oh,' Max, I want you !" she sobbed ; "I want you !" Maxon's heart, racing with the wild happiness of her weight against it, overcame him, and In spite of himself, for an instant, his arras went about her and held her tight ; then he remem bered. "You are going to marry Governor Durrett, Jessy!" "I'm not going to'marry Walton Dur rett unless unless you don't want me. Max!" . "But I" poor Max stammered "I'm a failure I'm disgraced I'd be in prison but for the president's kind ness f Surely, Jessy, you don't under stand" -l 1 "I do!" she interrupted. ."It's taken this to tell me where my heart's been all these years ! If they'd sent you to prison, nnd you'd have let me, I would. have married you on the prison steps! Kiss me', Max!" Max kissed her, then held her away from him with a grolm. "Oh, love, I ciin't I can't let you do itr - j '. . , But she was not listening.. "OJi, Max," she smiled, "I'm" so glad grand mother left me her home and so much of her money. It's Invested safely we can live'on the Income. You you dqn't have to try to make money you can study and write and and make me happy ! If you won't go with me and hunt up a minister Til go home and marry the governor and live miserably ever after." And Max went. - - HOW MUCH RISK TO ASSUME ' 1 r .' First Thing to Be Decided on When One Is Contemplating an Investment. ' . The first thing for Investors to de cide is the amount of risk they can af ford to take with their funds, says World's Work. This will depend on the purpose which they had In mind when the funds were accumulated and on the conditions that will surround the Investment. If one Is laying up savings to take care of himself in his old age, is he not really a trustee of those savings for the old person he is to be? If he is saving for his family, is it not the same? But If the money is being accumulated with the view of taking advantage of a business op portunity, it Is different. Or if one is in close touch with conditions in a cer tain business, he might be Justified In taking risks in that field which would be Improper for one ignorant of condi tions to take. The degree of risk that one is justified in taking must be large ly decided by the Investor himself, al though others of more experience or training might help. It Is the first point that should be decided. How Lloyd George Keeps Fit. Few men have ever had to bear such a heavy burden as the prime minister has hod to carry during the last three months. A general election, a peace conference and Industrial trouble each would have meant an epoch In the pre-war life of a premier. How does Lloyd George manage to keep so cheery and fit? An Interesting light on this point is thrown by the fac"t that recently Mr. Lloyd George has several1 tines strolled into a room oc cupied by. his staff and asked If tbe girl secretaries had any amusing novel there. He has picked up some light literature and gone off to read it qui etly for, half an hour or so ns a dis traction from more serious affairs. Edinburgh Scotsman. ! - Only Real Failure.

GOOD CROPS FOR PRODUCING PORK Industry in Irrigation Country Subject to Periods of Expan sion and Depression. , LACK OF KNDWLECGE NOTED Department of Agriculture Has Been . Making Observation in Its West ern Project on Utilization of Field Crops. (Prepared by the United State Depart- ' ment of Agriculture.) . "Gum shoe" farming for ham and bacon production does not presuppose web-footed bogs. ' It merely means Jhat irrigation as practiced by some 1 western farmers Involves conservative use of moisture for production of for age crops which may be harvested di rectly In the fields by the porkers. The swine industry in the rubber-boot coun try has been subject to periods of ex pansion and depression. One cause is lack of knowledge as to the possibility of using certain irrigated field crops, and as to the value of these crops when measured In terms of pork production. If full advantage is taken of the wide range of feeds available to swine grow ers on Irrigated lands, pork production can be conducted more extensively, and with mofe assurance of success. Irrigation farmers interested In porki production have had to rely on results obtained In nonlrrigated sections, and. applied to localities where web-footed crops grow. This lack of definite in formation .was especially noteworthy in the case of field crops, which in other sections pf the country are pas tured by hogs or hogged off. Hence, since 1912 the department has been making observations in its western ir rigation projects on the utilization of Irrigated field crops as hog pasture. These investigations include pasture tests with 149 lots consisting of 3,793 hogs pastured on' alfalfa, sweet clover, field peas, and mllo. .. . Alfalfa Need Supplementary Ration. Pasturing alfalfa with hogs has been demonstrated a satisfactory method of utilizing the forage, and one of the cheapest ways to produce pork. How ever, ,. to obtain satisfactory results, the alfalfa pasture must be supple mented with some carbonaceous feed, such as a 2 per cent ration of corn, barley, mllo, wheat, or shorts. Under euch conditions one good acre of good : alfalfa pasture will produce, with rea- f sonable surety, about 2,500 pounds of r pork a season. Exceptional gains, as high as 4,292 pounds an acre, were reported in the case of one lot of hogs ; pastured on alfalfa, and given a,8 per ; cent . supplementary ration of corn, t Naturally the gains on alfalfa depend ' ; on the size and quantity and quality . ( of the supplementary feed. It is poor , policy to try to make pork on alfalfa pasturage alone without supplementary feed. . , . Hogs on alfalfa pasture, supplement ed with about a 2 per cent ration o" corn, barley, wheat shorts, or mllo, wil consume from 250 to 350 pounds o grain for each hundredweight of gait ; In general the grain requirement lr creases as the hogs get larger. Tb ' feeding values of corn, barley, short . and mllo as supplements to alfalfa pa turage are so nearly Identical that tl choice among these side, dishes shou depend on prices, cultural adaptabilll ' . nnd general economic cftndltioi Where the grain Is to be grown ; the swine raiser, preference usua i j Is given to corn, barley, and the gri , j sorghums, depending upon the ada i ability of these crops to local cor lions. An acre of good alfalfa past supplemented with a 2 per cent rat Of grain will' support 2,500 pounds ' hogs during the entire growing seai 1 The carrying capacity of alfalfa j tures increases rapidly with gre; grain allowance, and It varies sc what during the growing season the rate of crop growth. ; i According to specialists of the I ed States department of agricultur acre of good alfalfa pasture, If " plemented with a 2 per cent rath corn; or barley, will support si eight sows and 50 to 70 sucking s pigs for nbout 60 days In early sun during which the pigs should gain 25 to 30 pounds apiece. , . I Sweet Clover Often Valuabl A few tests have been conduc try out the value of sweet clov hog pasture, and the results proved that this crop cannot be r ed as a rival of alfalfa. Howe soils which are too wet or tor'. for alfalfa, the Irrigation farme' sweet clover a valuable forngi Rubber-boot farmers are coming predate hogged-down corn an. peas as a desirable comblnat pork production, in that it save produces satisfactory gains In tl I and adds manure to the soil. , slve tests of "hogging corn" i t in the bulletin show gains of f j: to 1,048 pounds an acre of co no supplementary feed was r nna irom bso to i,an pounas i where the corn was supplemen other feed.
