JANE DECIDES Chapter 65

For several days the mother was unusually silent. The three problems w eighed upon her. The result of her visit to Claire was nothing. Claire asked her to tell Luther she would consent to a divorce. They had quarreled, and ruade up, and she had left without promising, or even repeating her refusal. Luther was home a great deal now. Claire probably had refused to see Mm any more. Often, silently, be would get up after he had finished his pipe, when the early dinner was over, and go out alone. And a little after 11 he would come back alone "He ought to buy a season ticket for Claire's show," Amy remarked flip

pantly once when he went out. "He'd

bave money that way."

One night Mrs. Talbot asked him where he was going. He said "To

the theatre." "I'd love to see Claire act," she an nounced. "Will you take me?" Luth

er protested that she would be "shocked." But she went and was not t hocked. She had been to several plays, carefully chosen for their innocuous qualities by Amy, and to half a .dozen operas. She found herself feeling quite excited at the prospect of brilliant lights and colorful costumes as she and Luther climbed on a bus and rode down-towri through the warm spring evening. Claire appeared first as a "snowball girl.'' The costume was a big puff of white satin, something like a child's rompers, cut very low and without sleeves, but with a band of white fur around her neck, and straps of white fur around her wrists, and a close fitting white fur cap an odd contrast of fur decollete that was most attractive. The bloomers ended way above the knees, showing white silk

tights and high white kid shoes band

ed with white fur. She sang a rollicking little song and was pelted with imitation snowballs during the chorus.

She seems to think now that if she marries Donald, he'U tire of her just because he doesn't specially approve of marriage and then she'll have to go through a heartbreaking separation. She has 6ome wild idea that if she lives with him, no one in that mining camp will know, so she won't be apparently breaking any convention and Donald won't feel what she calls 'tied to her.' I can't make her out I declare, life is almost too complicated for me." "I won't let her do anything foolish," Luther promised, and the words brought comfort to the harassed little woman. But Jane had already decided. Monday "Jane Goes."

FARM BLOC'S

(Continued from Page One.) sidering the points of difference between thi3 new farm movement and those of the past, which seem to give

the present farm bloc a promise of greater political longevity, the most

important is the difference in method and mechanism of organization between this farm bureau movement and the other movements of the past. Farm Organization Stable An examination of the American farm bureau federation reveals a remarkably stable and enduring form of

organization. Its base rests in an al-j

most direct sense so far as its origin is concerned at least, on the United States government itself. About ten yers ago, the department of agriculture, under Secretary Wilson, made the beginnings of a system which came to be known as "county agents." The government sent into various counties in the southwest, where the boll weevil was threatening, agents

whose business was to take up their residence, each in a single county, and

now in the hands of a New York bank-;

mure; and once in a dignified Elizalethan dress, where she did a stately dance; and several times in the lantastic, abbreviated dresses popular that winter. "I suppose you'll disapprove of Claire more than ever now, since you have seen her like this," Luther remarked. "No, why should I disapprove? These girls aren't just like girls in a drawing room; they're just part of a bright colored picture."

That was her answer, an answer i hat made Luther stare with amazement. "Well, you are getting on!" he commented, thinking of the violent denunciation that would have follow

months before. Mrs. Talbot suddenly saw a way into Luther's confidence. Up to this time he had never mentioned Claire except to defend her against criticism. Mrs. Talbot bcean talkins of Claire

The third effort now being made by the farm bloc is to have a farmer on the Federal Reserve board. In this, as in some other past efforts, the farmers in the beginning went to ex

tremes. But in this case as in tbek past, they .have showed a spirit of rea-

sentences from the volume from

which I already have quoted freely,

"The Farm Bureau Movement," by Odville Merton Kile. "Almost overnight, it seemed, farmers and farmers' meetings everywhere were talking of marketing the nation's grain crop, the cotton crop, and the live stock crop co-operatively. They were laying plans for buying fertilizers and farm machinery and supplies, not

merely in car lots, but in train la.a?, : throughout co-operative agenciei ; "They were proposing to tali e the business of fanning in all its brmches into their own hands, and to regulatthe intermediate agencies. State and. national law making bodies soon reflected the entry of organized and ucl- '. fied agricultural opinion."

This sympathetic support from busi- f

nessmen and farmers, and

the general public good, it is at once a;t.

rertitlcate of the wholesome sanity oi i m the leadership of the American Farmj Bureau Federation and a great help toj their projects in congress. It is quite ; l true that thesa projects run counter to the political theory that all legisla-. W tion should be general in character, j 5f and that it is as improper to single out farming as a special interest fori government, aid, as it is to single out manufacturing, or banking, or any.k. other line ol industry. Once when ex-Senator Bailey was j campaigning in Texas, he was asked j b

if he would support a movement for government credit to farmers. He replied that be would not do this until he was ready to support a movement

for government credit for blacksmitl s.

Later these local county units came to be known as "farm bureaus," and it is these farm bureaus, now organized into state units and finally into a national unit, that now form the American farm bureau federation and provide the organized backing of the farm bloc in congress. All this, of course, has been a mat

ter of some 10 years growth. In the course of time, it became the practice in many communities to supplement

I the federal government's part in the

county agent system with aid from the state governments, from local chambers of commerce, and the like. Supported by Dues In its later stages of a national organization, the local farm bureaus are supported by voluntary dues paid by the farmers. The functions of the

farm bureau came to include every- U

leadership that the nature of the laws, which they have sought to have passed by congress are more intelligible and more practicable than the universal panaceas sought by "Sockless" Jerry Simpson and others of his kind. The leaders of the American farm bureau federation understand farming

and understand business, .and they'

know the difference between what is practicable and what is economically impossible. It is true that at least one of the measures which they sought to press through the recent session of congress went to extremes. That was the effort to have the United States government engage directly in the business of buying farm products and sell-: ing them abroad. In the end. how-i

ever, that measure was modified in 'f
