and the West Nylus with whom she
had been playing hide-and-seek on the
Pacific horizon for days.
There was ho sparkling sunshine
and dimpling water, nor glad haloos
to greet us in the Home Port; no flo
tilla of rowboats with their agitated
commotion, no exuberant sun drench
ed people with their fantastic wel
come. Apparently, the only notice ta
ken of our arrival at the dock was
the routine visit of the Immigration
and Customs Officers.
I was not allowed ashore because
I did not possess a re-entry paper.
I was informed that I wouldn’t need
one because I was travelling through
the British'West Indies which is per
mitted territory along with Canada,
if I were not out of the United Stat
es six months, I had to wait and pay
$5.00 for telegrams to Portal and De
troit and back, to verify the fact that
I was a legally entered resident of the
Country.
J3y noon I decided that I had to see
a doctor. So then Commander Carl>
son warned me that he had signed a
document, which appointed him my
legal guardian and that I was his
ward. I was to remember that in case
I disappeared he was committed to
payment of $1,000. With those little
words in my ear, he offered no objec
tion to my leaving the ship. He is a
grand mam Everybody says so. Im
mediately I hunted up some of my
old friends in town. It was 8.30 p.m.
when I returned to the ship. The
next day, Saturday noon, I received
permission to gather up my bundles
and baggage and enter the country
legally. *
Mr. Swenson advised me at lunch
just before I left to marry a sailor
mam He would be away all the time
and .paying the bills. I would have a
good home, wouldn’t have to get up
to make breakfast, and would have a
good time all the time. I agreed that
perhaps he was right and inquired
where there was a bachelor aboard.
At that very last minute our First
Mate admitted that he was single; the
Second Mate, too, but he preferred
a blonde. I sighed hopelessly, picked
up my handbag, and made for the
-gangplank.
I miss Frank, my mess boy. He
kept a supply of big red apples on
my dresser, cool and dewy fresh out
of the refrigerated part of the hold,
and cookies and cake in my top draw
er. There was no favor which I
might require, that was not cheer
fully earned out. In my apartment
there is no breakfast on the table
when I finish my bath. There is no
dinner steaming on the table when I
come home in the evening. If I had

A SHIP’S HOMECOMING
By V. Olive ■Currie
Cold gray water in the chill foggy
dawn wrinkled paU my portholes,
when 1 was awakcad by a long low
weigh of the ‘Ship’s siren .She was
still but imlsating impatiently gust
nratsidc the Golden Gate., waiting for
permission to -enter the Home Fort.
Some time later she -docked M the

, become sjiificlently decayed and
■ mushy, she would dump the mess
' mwhrdantly out of her portholes on
to the main deck, until someone on
, duty, in a state of irritation and re-
•taliation, covertly popped the mess
back through her porthole again.
; There was the cx-Arsny 'Officer

could tell about them so well. He did
more than his share to keep the ship’s
passengers in good spirits,
I miss the atmosphere of the ship,
and the feeling of vibration and the
sens of progress hour by hour. I miss
the mental and physical relaxation. I
miss the mysterious atmosphere seep
ing in from the fathomless sea, and
the elements beyond our power of
control, yet kind to us day after day
after day, I miss the closed circle
of association. We swarmed out into
the Ports, but byxevening we were all
back together again out at sea, forty-
three men and three women, and no
single soul could approach and ring
our bell,
What do they talk about, those fine
seafaring men, who drive a stout ship
over the uncertain sea lanes. The
Commander over a cup of coffee and
a sweedish rusk one day told me of
his little dog, Rags, at home and his
two baby grandchildren. The Chief
Engineer told me about the violins
he had made at home and how well
his little boy could play them. The
First Alate, a bachelor, showed me a
picture of his pretty niece back in the
Old Country. The Third Mate told
me about his clever daughter. The
Sea is a. fascinating and exacting mis
tress, but she can never break that
home tie.
Saturday afternoon I conducted the
two Russian girl friends out around
Golden Gate Park, the Aquarium, the
Museum, and the Chinese Tea Gar
den, and then back into town for din
ner. After dinner they conducted me
» to a Russian dance hall. Those Rus
sians! They do things on a grand
scale. One large room was reserved
for dancing. There was a peppy Rus
sian stringed orchestra. In another
large room were long tables heaped
with Russian pastries, salads, cold
meats, and sandwiches. At another
table they dispensed vodka at 10c, a
gulp. Vodka is a very particular brand
of spirits. It must be drunk from a
certain glass and in a special manner,
if one doesn’t wish to gargle over it,
which of course one doesn’t at a soc
ial function. The glass holds enough
For one gulp and is as big around as
the throat. The head is tipped back
with the mouth open, the glass is
quickly raised and dumped. One has
scarcely time to realize the throat is
afire when the vodka hits the stom
ach. Then to take the mind off the
internal combustion one is handed a
small cube of bread spread with real
red Russian roe, or caviar. There are
small tables where the guests may sit
for eating and drinking between danc
es.
After my first gulp of plain vodka
I went out and did the Russian Waltz.
I twirleld with the rest quite gaily.
The next gulp was flavored with an
ise. Following that I executed the
Russian Polka, leaping and Swaying
in real Russian abandon. After the
third, and last gulp flavored with
something which I can neither pro
nounce or spell, the dance steps which
I executed have no name. The room
whirled madly in the opposite direc
tion from which I thought I was
whirling. The floor receded when my
foot came up, and came up when I
put my foot down, causing me great'
; inconvenience. Unfortunately, my
Russian partner was very short so
that I had neither a shield nor a sup- s
port. I sort of dmng onto his collar
I bone and my head waggled over his
|shoulder until he could reach me a;
I chair. As suddenly as things became
topsy-turvey, they righted themselves;
again, but vodka me no vodka for a ;
while. I h%.d an interesting evenings

weather they run for the street cars,. I they run with the traffic. They have'

spoiled by the warm hearted -dark

'to ‘keep in step.
! I was riding on a street car the
j other evening where a baby broke out
•crying lustily. The mother tried fran-
I fiscally to quiet it. A man across the
, aisle called over, "“Aw» let the baby
'Cry, what harm's it do.” and I knew

!to converse about this and that no
| matter the prominence of one’s par-
j ttdage, nor the intuition of the p»c-
i ketbook.

TIMOTHY SEED
SUPPLY PLENTIFUL
The supply of timothy seed this
year will far exceed the demand, con
sequently the price is lower than it
has been for a long time and there
is exceptional opportunity for farm
ers who require seed to purchase only
the best quality. At the time of writ
ing the price of No. 1 seed in Mont
real is $4.50 per hundred pounds.
This is 25% of the price demanded
last season.
There is seldom any serious doubt
regarding the germination of timothy
seed, but too much attention cannot
be paid to its purity or freedom from
weed seeds. If a-farmer buys a horse
which turns out to be unsatisfactory
for his purposes,- he can dispose of
it by some means, making the beSt
of a bad bargain, and forget about
the incident. Unfortunately the same
cannot be dqne with a lot of seed for
field crops which contains weed seeds.
If weed infested seed is once put in
to the ground it cannot be forgotten
as the weeds will be a continual re
minder. This is particularly true if
the weed seeds are from a perennial
such as Ox-eye Daisy. This weed is
■ mentioned because it is one of the
■weeds cDssed as Primary Noxious
, under the Seeds Act, and one which
is very commonly found in timothy.
The seed is difficult to remove dur
ing the process of cleaning, and eas-
; ily passed over when a sample is be
ing examined for impurities. Over 20
; per cent, of the samples from the
Laboratory at
i eye Daisy. In
erage number
weed was 33.1
timothy seed containing this number
of Ox-eye Daisy would be rejected
as unfit for seed under the Seeds Act.
A simple calculation will show the , instinct of the broad mases."—Adolf
