Bark, Chief of the Irrigation'. Investigation Division of the Depart- ment of Natural Resources of ' the Canadian Pacific Railway, has been conducting a number of experiments in the growing of clover seed in Southern Alberta, and has met with surprising success. Before coming to Alberta in 1915, Mr. Bark was for several years connected with various irrigation enterprises in Idaho, His experienced eye noticed that the clo- ver growing on lawns, ditch banks, and waste places in Alberta, from the boundary line to as far north as Ed- monton, gave promise of good re- sults. This promise was fully con- firmed when he shelled hundreds of heads that he gathered. They re- vealed a large quantity of seed of unusually good quality. The following year, therefore, he (1) Alsike clover at Carseland, Alberta. arranged Dor several plots to be (2) Field of alsike clover at Tilley, Alberta" panted on the various Demonstra- tion Farms of the Canadian Pacific pound, the returns secured were very Railway situated in the irrigation satisfactory, despite the poor stand block, east of Calgary, Alberta.

On this basis the gross return from the (Copyright, 1015, by McClurg Newspaper Syndicate.) "You may be only a poor typist," smug little Aunt Caroline had told her niece Babette, "tint don't forget that you area lady --or are entitled to veil one so long as you don't do any things that are unworthy of a real lady:' Aunt Caroline had never done any of those things; in fact, she had work- ed at rather trying odds for the last tern years in the uptown fiat where she kept house for tier own four sons and ' daughters and her niece Babette. And they had all retrained ladies - she and her daughter and the niece, and the three boys had, so far as the mother knew, remained "perfect gen- tlemen" -in spite of the three flights walls up and the dingy, bare, painted v of the kitchen where Caroline's work never seemed to bo done, and In spite of the debts there had been to pay after the husband's long illness. On the parlor table there was a copy of a well-known book on so-called so- cial usage, and although the chapter on caudle parties and the adgtce the writer oe the book gave on "how to net when meeting the English royal family," and flow to write to the archbishop of Canterbury had been of little real use to Caroline, she found much of it immensely helpful to her In her task, The fact was that Caroline, had, as she said, seen very much better days in the years when she and h'er coustn, Babette's mother -for Babette was not a real niece -had, for one brief season mingled in a society that never found its way to Caroline's poor lit- tle widow's flat. Then came the marriages of Caro- line and Babette's mother and the death of both Babette's parents, the death of Caroline's husband, the bring- ing up of the five children In the ways of gentlefolk, and then, a year ago, Ba- bette's engagement to Caroline's eldest son -who, to be sure, was only a sort of third cousin. The courtship was conducted along lines that would have been approved by even the author of that book on social decorum on Caroline's parlor table. The youxig people, reminded that it was not well-bred to go to the theater unchaperoned, never went to the movies on a Saturday night with- out Caroline in tow, though poor Caro- line sometimes endured all kinds of torment fearing that she was a hin- drance to their good time. And Caro- line remembered that when Babette's mother and she had been engaged, they had not permitted their lovers more than the meagerest kisses, and those on the cheek. Engagements are sometimes broken, they had been told, .and a "real lady" would never cease regretting the fact if she had ever allowed any more pas- sionate salute from a man who did not become her husband, So Caroline had told Babette and her •son and, though they had been engaged a year, there was but one salute a day, and that very decorously upon the cheek. When the first Christmas of their engagement came about Caroline had reminded her children that "well-bred engaged people slid not give personal presents." The young roan, besides the engagement ring, should give noth- ing but flowers, books and candy." Her own husband had given 'her a copy of Tennyson's poems on the Christmas they were engaged, and the Tennyson now reposed beneath the book on good form on the parlor table. He had given her roses on all holi- days and candies every week -end. There was no reason, Caroline said, why her son should not do so much for Babette. He could afford it, for he was now getting a generous salary. Babette didn't often protest, but she was a practical bit of a girl, and when she might have been making a collec- tion of useful household things given her bs her husband -to -be -as other girls site knew did -she took small Measure in the little bunch of roses that faded on her bureau after every holiday nor in the candles that she shared with her cousins every week- end. From her own slender earnings she might have bought things that would eventually have helped feather the nest, too, but Caroline assured her that would not have been in good form. The great authority especially cautioned young women against giv- ing anything of a personal nature to their fiances. Books, desk accessories, accessorles of sport -a riding crop, or something of that sort -were the things suggest- ed. And as Caroline's eldest son, Stephen, had no desk save the office one he toiled 'at eight hours a day, rind knew no sports save struggling with the crowds on his daily trip to and from that office, Babette's choice was limited to books. lie liked the 'Stevenson and the XII). ling she had given him, but how much sooner they Could have been married if instead of those books she could have given him something that would do for the little fiat --chairs and ta- bles, or a rug, perhapsl It was three weeks before Christ- mas and Babette and Stephen had each secretly decided to linger after ofiiee hours to make the Christmas pur- chases. Unknown to each other they were both part of the great throng that swarmed one of the department stores not far from their own places of work. At the door of the store Babette had received a little liolly- decked carts, and on it were words something like this: "The patriotic gift this year is the useful gift. We feel it our duty to urge our eustomers to refrain from buying nonessentials. So, instead of rlispinying a large stock of 'Christmas candles and our usual Christmas books and flowers, we are recommend. Mg gifts of useful household articles and articles of apparel."

There was little :further explanation, It seemed as if they were compelled by a force greater than the will power of either, greater than the silent In- fluence of Caroline or the binding force of that book on the parlor ta- ble.
