WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
Lawrence County Farm Bureau

Sunrise Kafir.
Sunrise, kafir planted in places in
southern Missouri last year far out
yielded corn. In Crawford county the
. grain yield was three times as great
with kafir as with the common corn.
In feeding value there is little appreci
able difference. The Farm Bureau
is furnishing seed to a few farmers
in various parts of Lawrence County
to try Sunrise kafir in a small way
' in comparison with corn and soy beans
Strawberry Acreage Increases.
Due to the recent freeze many are
increasing the acreage of strawberries.
.With a general fruit shortage this
year the indications Jure that (She
strawberry prices will be ' good ' the
coming spring.
It may be a little late for a general
planting but with a fairly favorable
eeason the plants should make satis
factory growth.
The recent freeze was much more
eerious in some places than in other.
In certain strawberry fields the dam
age is estimated as high as 65 per
cent while in others only about 10
per cent of the buds appear to be ef
fected. Duroc Club.

whimsically, "is so feminine- that It
confuses. If you had said that each
woman Is a trinity and must be thrice
won before a man's honor can feel
secure, understanding would be a sim
ple matter. Did you leave out the
Veiled God purposely or just to be
different and avoid the obvious?"
"To avoid the obvious Is an instinct
of brooding," said Miss Van Tellier,
"and I would never blush for doing it;
but where would your thoughts fce now
if I had said Just what you expected,
If I bad treated the Veiled God us- n
matter of fact! Oh, no! One con
clip with words (he wind's of flesh and
spirit, but not of the Veiled God in
wonmn. for- !!s very essence is a de
ferred possession."
Shf i ;i!is'd. but as Tremont cluns
to the sili-iue, she presently contin
ued. "The ."';:s!plct; lover is the man
who h:ivi:v; cuirpn'red all the heights
of flesh i;v..l spirit in his mistress,
dwells cfn'TioiiKly in the presence of

men few r.re t!ie men " Her vole:
trailed oiT ns though her thoughts had
run -ahead of words and reached li'ial
ity without the r.,-:e of the spoken
phrase.
"Few are the nra who n'tn!n to
that serene serarity," Tremont fin
ished for her, only half conscious of
whr.t he was saying.
Randolph could 1 er the rustle of
her turnlns to her companion. "How
wonderful," she said. "That is what
I thought, but didn't ::a,v."
"Madge." said Tremont, "what have
you done? It's true that I have never
stooped to hypocrisies with you and
that I have never while with you
spoken n vulgar word. Did you ,
think that I have been knowingly
wise? Well, I haven't. I didn't know!
until this moment why I chose a rare
and high atmosphere to reach you.
Now I know. It was because you were ,
there. I chose only to come to you i
rather than drag you down to the drab j
of the urwal. What you have done Is I
to carry me higher than I ever meant
to go. You have token me .off the
beaten path and showed me an un
expected treasure. I'm no longer my
self. I am cold and afraid."
, Randolph could feel that the speak
er was drawing away from the girl
and a moment later his senses were
to surpass themselves In additional
divination. "You are afraid of that
woman in me?" asked Miss Van Te!
lier softly. "What about this one?"
And then it was that Randolph's de
ductive antennae quivered under their
burden of Intelligence. He knew as
certainly as though he had faced
about that an adorable Madge, tender
and wide-eyed, had slipped her bare
arms around Readier Tremont's neck
and kissed him on the mouth.
There was a long silence; then
came Tremont's voice, thick and
strange to the ear. "A moment ago,"
It said, "I was afraid for you; now
I'm afraid for myself. I am like a
man who has carelessly dropped a
lighted match and finds himself with
in the ring of a prairie fire. I can
only wonder at my stupidity in think
ing of yon in connection with, a casual
possession and not as a consuming
flume. You see? Already you have
burned through the thin crust of lies
that guards mail from definite seizure
by woman any wonmn."
"Kiss me, Bencher," murmured the
girl's voice as though his words had
swirled around and by her, lenving
her purpose untouched. "Take me
and hold me carefully where no un
kind air can drive me from you. Take
all the women in me one by one if
you must."
At that moment Mr. Robert H. Ran
dolph, In the person of Slim Hervey,
chauffeur, very nearly wrecked his
four-cylinder argosy with its burden
of three fates,, still Individually and
collectively indispensable to the con
tinuity , of this yarn. He missed the
ditch by a hair's breath, caught his
own with a gasp, returned to the mid
dle of the broad highway and fixed
his attention on a certain very definite
matter with which it had been more
or less constantly concerned ever since
he had been directed to hit It up for
Greenwood.
' The road to that well-known hostel
ry was usefully devious and fares
were seldom worried as to how any
particular driver set out to find this
choicest of needles In the hay-stack of
the country liins that dot (the land
scape of Westchester1 ' and adjacent
counties as long as he brought th
search to a successful end somewhere
this side of the pangs of hunger.
Nevertheless, had. not Mr. Tremont,
himself a motorist of no mean experi
ence, been completely absorbed by the
sudden discovery that he had his
right arm around an entirely new
world, he would have been strm 'c in-
ranrw mt! ;

this was certainly not any one ot the
climbing roads to the Greenwood hos
telry ; second, that the man at the
wheel knew more about losing his way
In the vicinity of Manhattan and find
ing it again than did the combined
roadmaps of the United States and
its allies supposing It to have had'
allies at the time. However, Mr. Tre
mont's absorption was not only abso
lute but continuous so that it held
him in its inexorable grip right up to
the moment of ghastly awakening and
even over the edge. He was just say
ing, "My darling, never fear. I'm
taking you to a place so quiet and so
guarded that this dream which you
have dressed in an unexpected glory
can flow on unbroken as Jong as w
are true to it and to ourselves," when
the cab drew up at a solemn and im
pressive portal.
Without leaving 'his seat, the cab
man readied back, unlatched the door
and threw it open. "Greenwood ceme
