Timothy makes, friencte with, a new teach- er, Sosan Barney, and her young- er sister, Delia. Now Timothy has received a letter from a dis- agreeable trustee of the academy, Mr. Wheaton, calling him to New York. While Timothy is in New York he meets a Mrs. Bernstein, who proposes her son Jules for a student. Although Jules had flunked in all his examinations, 'Timothy decides to give him a trial. When he keeps his ap- pointment with Mr. Wheaton he is told that he has made •a big mistake in admitting a Jewish boy as a student: After meeting Mr. Wheaton, Timothy,meets Sus- an Barney, who accidentally dis- covers that he bad had an invalid wife. The news shocks her. Tim- othy meets his neppew, Canby % Hunter. "Good grief! Uncle Tim, think of nybody's being hardy enough to take wrtk on a Right like this! Here, et me get to that tire." Aunt Lavinia piddled and went to ed: "I suppose youmust be wondering hat brings me here?" Canby asked. "Aunt Lavinia told me you'd given p your job in the bank because you Lad broken your engagement. I fill - d to see the connection. Canby nodded seriously. "That's he way it was. It was terrible. See ere, Uncle Tim, since it's You, I'd Ind of like to have you know the traight of it." Canby stirred in his hair, reached for the matchea, light - d his pipe and began his story. "Well guess there's no doubt about it I ave Mildreda raw deal, and I'm orry fot that." "What ever was the matter with er?" "That was the point. There wasn't nything the matter with her. She as the world's nicest! What's mil- d a `perfectly lovely_ _ But, Canby, how did you ever get ngaged to a girl that didn't suit you my better than that? Did she grab eu?" Canby groaned nd slid farther own on his spine. "No, I did the rabbing; such as 'twas. Nobody was blame but me. She's too much of lady to grab anything, let 'alone a an. Good grief! I never want to sok at a .girt again." Timothy hioked down from the ghted window of his warm safety, nd said ,patrimizinglY, "All this eans no more, Canby, than that yoti eren't in 'love with her.", "That's what you think," said Can= 3r - "What's all this about.a trip around e world? Did Aunt Lavinia dream at?" "No; I told her.. Why, the point is, m off the banking business too. I on't like it. I neyer had liked it, lo hen I got up- my *nerve to wave ood-bye to Mildred, why, while I was about it, .1 kissed my hand to the bank, too. I told 'em just what I' thought. I brought up a deal or two I'd helped them manage and.' a thing or two I'd helped them hush up. Tffe Banking Commissioner was there. I called him a name. Gosh, that did me goal. Well, before that, I'd re- alized on everything I had, and put it lato travellers' cheques. So- here I am, free, male, whlte, and twenty- seven, with the world before me as long • as five thousand •Six hundred and seventy-four - dollars and sixty-one cents wilt last me. Well, what can you do with a capital of five thousand six hundred and seventy-four dollars? I ash! you. All that came into my head ,was one of these world cruises -there was a folder about it on the counter in the place where I got my travellers' ,cheques. Maybe I'll find me a job in Inde -China. I want to get in some skiing somewhere, too. I've never yet had enough. Maybe I'll go to Norway. •"Well,..anyhow, we've got to get to bed tonight," said Timothy. Canby, picked up hi S .suitcase and follbwed him towards the stairs. Alone In ,his room Timothy pulled a chair tip to his table, ,fumbled for Paper in a drawer, took out his foun- tain pen and 'began in the large sqbare handwriting familiar to two decades of, Acadeiny students. • "My darling Susan: I am just back from your old home -yes, 1 went all the way up to the old' house on foot - and the reason I did was because-" After a moment's hesitation he tore up what he had written, thinking as he pushed away from the table, "Ifr there is one thing a man wants to say with his own voice and his' ci•On Itrms, and one thing a woman wants to hear and feel,, not read oft a piece of paper . . At, the breakfast table the next morning they ate in silence till Aunt Lavinia said, "Take that last piece of bacon,. Canby. It's not so bad ae the Redline Perna," Canby fell to thinking and came out of it with,' "How come there's still a farmer smokes his own bacon? Out in the packiag house country where Fe been, they say they can't afford to." "Well, they can't, here now, of course," said Timothy. • "But how'd they ever do it? That's what I'd ik to know." It was a subject on which, Timothy had thought a good deal. He launch- ed forth: "Well, general firming us ed to pay here -just about as it did anywhere. Of course there's still dairying. But dairying's like every- thing else. It's only the big combine tions that can hold their own. The individual farmer hasn't a .look -in. Still, dhere's something rather inter- esting. in the air there, the co-opera- tive movement." Why said, "Well, I guess I'll go out id bat around the old town, and see if I'd know anybody." "Hold' on!" said Timothy. "You haven't looked at the thermometer. You don't know what to wear yet." They went to a window together and looked out at the tube of mer- cury. Canby whistled. "Twelve be- low, with the sun shining like that!" They walked together to the hall clos7 et where the wraps were kept, Canby got down on his knees and began to rummage on the floor of the closet among the overshoes, rubbers add skates. 'Wearing Timothy's red and black windbreaker with the sheepskin col. - Jar turned up, and Timothy' cap with the ear flaps puffed down, and mittens and lumberman's socks and pacs, he went out as Timothy start- ed up to his study to answen,the per- sonal letters which in term time al ways piled up on. his desk waiting till a so-called vacation allowed him to tarn from one kind of work to an- other. Timothy took the cover off his type- writer, looked at the keys, decided to clean. them, decided it would take too long, and began to write. He pulled another letter to him, read it, thought for a moment, put a sheet in the machine and began, "Dear Bud: , I believe if I were you I would tell that girl . . ." when two _stories below hint the lunch bell rang. He sprang up so eagerly as to tip his chair over, and went down- stairs as•fast as his lame knee would let him. • Canby was there, his face reddened by the cold. "You're the only man in the repel worid that' still writes his owi1ot ters, Uncle Tim. For heck's sake, why don't you have a stenog?" "Well, anyholv," said Canby, fall- ing' sharp -toothed on his hash, "you';1 be glad to know I stopped at the post office and brought you a nice big sheaf of letters." "Who'd you see this morning?" ask- ed '1"mothy. By the time Canby -bad named the people he had seen -it took. him some time -three Academy seniors had clumped into the hall in their ' ski boots, and were silently waiting in the living room. "I'm going to show 'em the wood road over to Henley Pond," said Canby, wiping.his mouth hurriedly and standing up from the table. "Where- did you get skis?" called Timothy after him. Can -by put bis head through. the door. I boiight'm," he said luxurious- ly. "I just went and bought'm down at Harvey and Sackett's Emporium. And boots. And poles. And a wind- breaker of my own. And mittens. And a cap. And some red wollen underwear. I've got all the money in the world and nothing to do with it." Aunt Lavinia cried, shocked. 'But Canby, how silly to buy all that gear just for one day! You could have borrowed it." "Scotch my Scotch," ,said Canby impudently, thumbed his' nose at her and vanished. Aunt Lavinia laughed. Timothy drew on his cigarette thoughtfully, considering this. "Well! I like Canby," he said. "I always did like him. But I shouldn't say he was good looking at all. Rather common- place and ordinary, with that under- shot jaw and that nose. And spec- tacles!" Prom where he lay, sprawled go the couch, as much at ease after twenty-four hours of Clifford as if he had been there all winter, Canby said, "I was just wondering, Uncle Tim, if you'd ever thought about how the Academy could be developed. Old New England acadendes done over new are all the style. Lots of them are being turned into the peppiest kind of prep .schools. You could do it here, easy.. Now, if you bad some young fellow as assistant principal or manager, somebody with business ex- perience -I bet it wouldn't be five years before you would work up 4 clientele of middle -western and city families that'd bring as much pros- perity to the town as a shoe factory." Timothy, made a short cut to an end. "Now, Canby, j,ist think - you know what our Plain young people from the farm and factory are -their ebethee, their table Mantiets, their Anger naila, their way • of speaking. broil tfl we you think they'd be iv& come and at home in what's called a 'good' prep school. The Academy is no great shakes of a achool, b,ut it does need and 'respect the students it was founded for. Since it's about the only door open to them, wouldn't it be sort'of a pity to push it shut?", "So that's reaily why you . . Aunt Lavinia interrupted, "Canby's got to leave early." not so sure," said Canby. They looked at' him, astonished. "I'm not 3(), sure I want to go on that cruise at all," he exPlained. "Just batting around dont look so hot to me now. I just didn't know what else to do with myself." "What else would you rather do?" asked Aunt Lavinia. • "I don't know, Atint. Lavvy," Can- by told her uncertainly. "I really don't know. Maybe stay here a little longer. If you and :Uncle Tim will lodge me and Miss Peck 'board me. Seems kind of good to be back, see? Maybe if I stickaround for a while I might 'find something to do in these parts." He turned to Timothy, "That was really what 1 was thinking about, Uncle Tim, just now. Maybe you guessed it. I was the young business man who might pep .up the Academy. But I get your point." "It sort of came to me today that I'd, like to give the old place the once- over before I tried anything else." "Well, well, why not?" asked Aunt Lavinia. "We never use that extra third storey `room." Timothy turned away and opened the door to the cellar stairs. d'Hey, Uncle Tim!" shouted Canby from the upper landing. "Leave that furnace alone! That's my job!" He came racing down the stairs four at a stride. Timothy stood back to let him pass, saying, "Thanks." - That's very good of you, Canby. Better not close the draughts too tightly," Without wait- ing for Canby to reappear, he called down the- register, "Well, good'night, I'm off to bed." The first Tuesday in March was of course town meeting. Nobody in Clif- ford did anything but stand in the crowd on the floor of the Town Hail, so closely packed together as scarce- ly to, be able to shift from one foot to another, during the usual long, wrangling discussions. Everybody there found it, as town meetings of- ten are, very dull. Everybody, that is except 'the presiding officer. For old Mr. Dewey, tall, stooped, serious, the Town Hall was as always a tern- ple dedicated to the 'ideals of self- government, equal opportunity or all, and fair play. Devoted high priest of those ideals, he was watchfully ready to put down the slightest sign of disrespect for them as he turned his grizzled head to the right and left in answer to the calls from the floor of "Mr. Mawderator! Mr.1 Mawdera- tor!" (Continued Next Week) For Protein In areas where corn is grown for silage and fodder it is he highest yielding , livestock feed crop which can be grown. As a succulent feed it is fairly nutritive, but is low in pro- tein. In view of the difficulty of buying protein concentrates, it is de- sirable to grow a high protein crop to supplement the protein in the high yielding Corn crop. Fortunately, soy- beans are admirably suited for this purpose, says P. 0. Ripley, Field Hus- bandry Division, Central Experiment- al Farm, Ottawa. Corti and soybean a ha been been grown singly and in mixtures at the Cen- tral Farm, Ottawa, for the past five years. The average yield of corn has been nearly 17 tons per acre, of soybeans about 7% tons and a mix- ture of corn and soybeans about 16 and two-thirds tons. The crude pro- tein contelit - of the corn averaged mare than 13/4 per cent., of the soy- beans 3% per cent., and of the mix- ture about 21/4 per cent. The M 1 c- ture was'75 per cent. corn and 25 per cent. soybeans by weight. The most suitable mixture. is one which gives approximately three parts of corn to one part 'of soybeans. Seeding in a mixture to provide one corn plant to every four or five soy- bean, plants in the two will give ap- proximately this proportion. A mix- ture of 20 potinds of corn and 15 'pounds of soybeans in rows 35 inches apart has been found satisfactory. There are dome disadvantiges in growing the, mixture. It is .difficult to grow exactly.,the right proportion, and harvesting the mixed crop is very difficult, as the band on the sheaf at the proper heighti for corn is too high for the soybeans and the sheaf tends to be ragged and the soybeans' fall out. Grown separately, the corn' may be seeded at 25 pounds per acre in 35-ineh rows and the soybeans at 30 to' 40 pounds in 28 -inch roWs. Each crop can, be handled with the ma- chinery best suited to its require- ments and the eorn and soybeans can be mixed in ekact proportions •at the silo filloin; Balled on the above yields it would, reqtfike 4% acres Of earn artdethree.

Cabbage is `rich In. .minerals and also assays well' in every one of the important vitamins. For winter use, it keeps well in a cool, moderately dry cellar. U you don't want to cook it, you have maey popular ways to use it raw. Cabbage is a hardy vegetable. It :s ready for the table about eight weeks after being set out in the gar- den.
