At the last"minute Little Bobby is engaged to act as chaper- on. They are waiting for Bobby to show up to make the start. A few .miles' out Bobby becomes. tearful at being parted from her sweetheart, Rowena insists on .tak- ing her place in the rumble so that she can ride with Peter and have.him; to talk to about Carter. Rowena gets Peter to consent to divide the ex- pense money each week as soon as it arrives, and astonishes Peter by eating too economically, The three tourists reach St. Louis, after passing through Buffalo and Chicago. Peter and Rowena have many tiffs, while Bobby is enraptur- ed at the way Carter is fuming over her flight from New York. The morning after they reached Denver, Peter and Rowena discover Bobby has deserted thean and return- ed to New York by train. They are faced with the impossible condition of continuing their trip without a chaperon. Rowena suggests to Peter that they make a "companionate" marriage. They are married and go to Chey- enne, where their actions, when they ask for rooms on separate floors, arouses the suspicions of the hotel clerk. They finally succeed in get- ting rooms, but not without exciting. the laughter of the hotel loungers. They resume the trip the next day and are overwhelmed by a cloudburst in an arroyo and are thrown out of he car. A party of tourist campers give them dry clothes and food. OW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Oh, that'll fix us up just fine," said Peter gratefully. "Thanks very much. Here you are, Rowena, a la Biltmore." "It will do for you both with a little squeezing," said the farmer's wife pleasantly. "Jim and I camp on one the same size." "S -so it will," said Rowena. "Lots of room." "Make your bed close to the fire, said Farmer Jim. "Turns cold up here ights," "And don't get nervous if you hear kings wriggling around, called some ne else. "Sometimes the rattlers go rawling around nights like this." "Peter,"• whispered Rowena, "per- aps—perhaps after all—you had bet- r—sleep on the edge of the mattress —the farthest edge. After all, I sup - se we're as good as married. And —I shouldn't like to have you bitten y a rattler." Peter laughed at her. When all the others had said good felt a little shiver in the blanket roll on the mattress beside him. He tou- ched it gently with his hand. Ro- wena was noiselessly sobbing in the darkness. He put his arm over her and pulled himself up until his lips were close to her ear—so close that a little bronze perfumed curl touched his face. "Don't be afraid," he whispered softly. "I'm not afraid." "Please don't cry." "•I'm not crying. I just feel sorry," "Because I smashed the car?". "No. Because you are so nice, Peter, .and it is so awful to hate a nice person, so very, very much. Peter laughed. "If that's all, cheer up. It should comfort you to know that at feast there's no love lost be- tween us." He patted .the blanket kindly, "And I really do admire you, Peter, for ever so many things. Nobody else in the world could ever make ane half as mad as you do. Really, you're just wonderful." One slender hand wriggled out from under the blanket and felt about until it found his, which closed over it warmly, It was hours later when she fell asleep: Although Peter awakened very ear- ly the next morning, almost before the dawn of pale gray light, he found the big farmer standing, near and looking down upon them with a quiz- zical, friendly grin. Peter got up rather shamefacedly, dropping his blanket on. Rowena's mattress, and the two men strolled down for a Iook at the river. "Don't begin wrong, youngster," said the farmer kindly. ' "Don't make life too easy for 'em right at first. Let 'em have their share of the hard knocks. Does 'em good." "Sh-she's not very well," said Pet- er, floundering desperately for a suit- able excuse. "I—want her to be — careful." "Oh, is that the lay of the land, eh?" The man was cordially inter- ested. "Golly, I hope that wetting didn't hurt her, She's got spunk, that one. You should 'a'told my wife. She'd 'a' giver you a hot-water bot- tle and a nip of whiskey." "I think she'll be all right," -said Peter uncomfortably. "You better take these rough roads a bit easier, youngster. You passed us yesterday like a streak o' greased lightning. Bumps is theworst thing for 'em. We lost one that way." "Uh—that so? Too bad," stammer- ed Peter awkwardly. The flood had subsided over night and barely a foot of water now trick- led over the rocks where the 'tor- rential flood had rushed. Caznp on the mesa was quickly broken. Break- fast was hurriedly prepared and hur- "You're just wonderful," said wena. "1 never knew that people could be so kind," And there were tears in her lovely blue eyes, and something of a cluiver stirred the pleasant voice, just because she was so glad' to learn that the people of the earth were so very good. And they smiled at her and told her to take good care of herself and not get "run down," and with many such friendly farewells and admoni- tions the caravan forded the dwind- ling creek and wound off over the mesa behind the hills, But before the Kansas farmer and his wife had gone far they turned back and pulled up beside the dripping roadster. The woman got out and went close to Rowena. "You mustn't catch cold, child," she said in a confidential voice. "Your clothes are pretty short and pretty tihn: It gets awful cold even- ings up here in this high altitude and you're not dressed for it. Now you take this little wool blanket and soon as you feel the cold coming on, you bundle yourself all up snug in it. It's old, but it's all wool and warm as toast, You mind now. Catching cold is the very worst thing you can do." Rowena thanked her and promised to be very careful and not catch cold whatever she did, and then stood on a high boulder and waved the blan- ket after the farmer's car until it rounded the hill and disappeared. Then she turned to Peter with a puz- zled air. "Aren't they all queer," she asked wonderingly. "I don't look sickly or anything, do 1? They seem to have a complex on catching colds out here. And what difference does it make if I do get tired? Everybody gets tired don't they?" Peter was working very hard on the car at that moment and mumbled something quite indistinguishable about not, knowing what it was all about. "Well, of course, they meant well," declared Rowena. "And I'll be care- fuj to please them. But I do hope I'm not beginning to look anemic or anything." .A day of ecstatic, heavenly calm followed. Peter worked on the car. Finally they got under way again. At last in the early evening when hey approached the town where they had agreed to spend the night, Ro- vena put her hand on his arm in ender appeal, "Peter," she said gently, "I do real- ze how very embarrassing it is about he hotels. It is for me too, though dare say you don't believe it. How ould it do for us to go in separate - y and register each for himself? I ould go in first and ask for a single obm and go right on up, and they wouldn't even know we came togeth- r Peter turned it over• reflectively. On the whole it seemed the best way out, Certainly anything was better than their first experience. So when they pulled up to the hotel Rowena stepped quickly out with her bag and hurried up to the desk. She asked for a single room, registered "Miss Rowena Rostand, New York City," and was taken up -stairs. Peter, meanwhile, put the car in the garage and then sat on the veranda half an hour with a cigarette and a paper. When at last he ventured in to the desk his request for a single room aroused no undue interest, and he was handed a key and a ,telegram. The telegram was from Messrs, Rack and Ruff, written by the former but sign- ed by both to make it more official. He read it and then inquired if a Miss Rostand had registered at the hotel. Upon being told that she had and was in her room, he called her on the telephone and asked her to come down to the lobby., "I have a wire from the Company," he explained, "and I think you had better see it," Rowena left off her t}npacking and hurried down, "Did you get a room O.K,? she whispered, "Yes. Everything's lake -but this." Rowena read the telegram. "The red-headed persecution," it said, "has just come in to announce that all is forgiven. Says the chap- eron left you at Denver and is on her way back to New 'fork, What do you nrean by continuing alone? Entirely against ottr orders and our wishes, If facts are as stated, please consider contract cancelled, Send Miss Rostand to New York by first: train and you bring car back "armed. lately." Peter looked quite worried about it all, btit Rowena laughed gaily, Thursday, July 3Qth, 193j "T isb, . tosh, and even tush," • she said brightly. "It's noosing; They don't even know we're married. Come on—let's give them the low-down on it," So they went to the telegraph desk and with a great clear oflaughter and many foolish suggestions and xnuch scratching out of words they finally worked out an announcement to their satisfaction, "Everything's' jake with tis, We Ro- were married in Denver. Who wants a chaperon on a honeymoon. Cody tomorrow night, Love and kisses. from Peter. and Rowena Blaitde." This dispatched, and pretty well pleased with themselves on the whole they got into the elevator and went up to their rooms, Their tour of the park was unev- entfully delightful, auspiciously free front embarrassing complications. "Isn't everything turning out just gorgeously?" demanded Rowena, But Peter and Rowena had not yet come into the fulness of their emo- tional experience, They Left the park by the northern route, They went to Butte and Helena, and all was well. They started for Spokane. A suc- cession of untroubled days had given them new confidence and they were sure their worries lay all in the past. They pulled up to the hotel in Spo- kane without inner qualm or morbid presentiment. Peter asked for two singles and he signed the register. The clerk looked at the names and smiled broadly. "Oh, how do you do?" he exclaim- ed cheerfully. "Just a moment, please." (Continued next week.)'• t t I w 1 c r riedly eaten.

Paterson, in charge of feed and fertilizer distribution for the Department, points out that cost of raw materials is an important item in the farmer's cost of production. The farmer requires feeds, fertilizer, limestone, bindertwine, oil, lumber, machinery and a host of other things to manufacture farm products. The farmer also has to consider the wea- ther which is a very uncertain factor. Therefore cost of production of farm' products is an unknown quantity, as every case is different. While he can not control the weather, the farmer not control the weather, the farmer The time to estimatefeed require- ments is after the harvest, not after all home-grown grains are fed and it suddenly dawns on the feeder that he must buy. Fertilizer requirements may readily be estimated beforehand. Other important items may be esti- mated and purchased to advantage before reciuired. Bulk buying is best. It costs the feed man more to sell a bag of feed. than a ton, It will cost ' the farmer less to take his own de- livery in most cases. The credit sys- tem is conductive to extra costs and should be avoided, ` Farmers will 'do well to stick to proven commodities and standard materials until new ones have been tested, In 1927 Ontario exported 20. car- loads of apples, In 1929, 120 carloads went overseas and in 1930 it had in- creased to 390 carloads. This year the Government confidently looks forward to a total export of 800 car- loads, nearly all of it destined for the English market. Will Select Junior Judges Ontario will be represented by a team in the junior grain -judging com- petitions to be held at the World's Grain Exhibition in Regina in 1932. This decisionwas reached at the re- cent annual convention of agricultur- al representatives at Guelph, The teams will be selected by elimination contests, probably at four different points in the province, The five boys obtaining highest • score at each of. these contests will be taken to O. A. C. and there given further training. The three boys who score highest out of the twenty will represent the pro- vince. Intense interest in the junior grain judging competitions as well as in the inter -agricultural college class, is evident in every province. The generous awards offered are proving particularly attractive apart altogeth- er from the opportunity afforded jun- iors and young college students of re- ceiving excellent training in grain judging work. Ram Club Policy With a view to developing unifor- mity in breeding on ' a community basis and also to improve quality and volume in the production of wool and market lambs, the federal Depart- ment of Agriculture has instituted a ram club policy. Under the terms of this policy three and two star ram lambs and shearlings are supplied by the Department to club members at stated prices, Clubs will comprise not less than ten members each, own- ing at least ten breeding ewes each. The federal Department assumes any additional cost over the amount of the stated deposit and also pays the freight to the nearest railway station to the CIub.

Perhaps both were right, but the better policy would seem to be "spend wisely in order to save." Spending wisely simply means to use your money~, for those things that you need, as the condition of your purse may warrant—and at the same time, to buy only those ar- ticles that have actually proved their quality and worth. By purchasing merchandise that gives the greatest value for the money, you secure the longest service and so have the price of a repurchase. Thrift is a virtue, but so is wise investment.
