It was Itoy Bacon whom Cecile referred to, and her words were repeated in' time to Roy himself, who flushed like a bashful school girl and proud and pleased. The sensible, sympathetic little lady had estimated Roy just right. An uncle had indulgent nearly spoiled him. He had recently, however, tried to redeem the error by getting Roy a position with a local brokerage house. Roy was set at learning the routine of the office. The rapid jargon of the stock exchange nearly drove him out of his- mind. I shall inform Uncle Gib that he may put me at work with a shovel or running a street car, but I can't stand the wear and tear of this wild investment business! Roy told himself. About one oclock the next afternoon, the rush hour of the office, Roy made the ghastly mistake of his life. He caught up the receiver of the phone at a call. Burton Black & Co. take order.

The increase in demand for sugar has been accompanied by a "marked decrease in cost; from 1870 to 1913 the average annual New York wholesale price declined from 13 to 4.28 cents per pounds since which .time war conditions have resulted in wide fluctuations. In nfermal times the worlds annual expenditure for sugar , amounts jlo two billion dollars, that of the United States to over four hundred million dollars, of which approximately one hundred million is paid to foreign nations to raw sugar. Recently acquired knowledge and the experience of our count trymen hkve taught that the vast sum of money we are now sending to foreign nations in payment for sugar might well remain at home, rural communities not only receiving the revenue which they would expend in American tnarkets, but also gaining rect benefits through the increased productivity of the soil following beet culture. Sugar beets, even at moderate prices, afford the farmer a means of bbtaining a larger annual income. Sugar beets Pre a cash crop with ready and sure market, and they furnish a rotation that is a necessity for the maintenance of the fertility of the soil. They are a safer crop on account of their great resistance to alkali, hail, disease and pests.

The Sunflower State sterns to be living up to William Allen Whites characterization of it when he called it a child of Plymouth! Rock. Among the first of the states to place the use of alcoholic drinks under ban, Kansas followed up this by making it illegal to sell cigarettes or cigarette papers to any one, minor or adult, in the commonwealth, or tobacco in any form to minors, and now through the state superintendent of public instruction, Miss Lorraine Elizabeth Wooster, bars from the teaching profession all those who use the weed. Recently Miss .Wooster mailed notice of her interdict on tobacco to 11 city and county, school superintendents of the state and it is sufficiently drastic to close the doors of the teaching profession toj all users of the plant. She explicitly states that no state certificate to teach will be issued to tobacco users ; that ' schools and colleges wljiere the use of tobacco is tolerated will not be placed on the accredited list, and that credits from schools and colleges where faculty members or students use tobacco in any form will not be accepted for certification. Her rules are based on her owh interpretation of a law passed in 1885, and while her interpretation has been questioned it has never been subjected to a court test. WHATS YOUR j .
