Development of a new industry—the production of tung oil—promises to figure Importantly in the economic recovery of the south. Thousands of acres arc being planted to tung trees whose blossoms yield the valuable black-brown nuts which produce tung oil. This commodity is used in manufacture of paints and numerous other lines Until a few years ago China had a monopoly on tung oil since it was thought that the trees flourished only in the Orient, but recent experimentation proved the suitable conditions of the gulf

ization of the south.
The benefits of increased employ-
ment and greater earnings for Unpeople of the south are immediate results of this expansion. In Louisiana. for example, the 1935 report cl the bureau of the census cites an increase of 18.5 per cent over 1933 in
the number of wage earners. FARM EQUIPMENT TIPS "Good equipment makes a good
farmer better, but kncfwnig hov to use that equipment and keeping it in A-l condition makes him sti'l better." was a statement recent'y made by R. C.

Elizaboth Hopkins. Mary Watkins, the pallid and pitiful humpback. Susan Abbott, rml a score of oth ers. Still Barbara's own fate was tin-
settled.
Powerful laflu “m es were at work to save her Though sorrow fully conr1u ced of his niece's guilt. Elder Nathartel Goode supported by a few oliiers of weight hi the Province, had prevailed upon the Governor to postpone me execution, on the plea that she might yet be
brought to confession ami repentance. Public prayers that her obdurate heart might be softened, her intractable selfwill broken, were offered by the Rev. Parris and his congregallon, with Elder Morse glowering his silent dissent. So passed the autumn Into winter, the winter Into spring. Chained and solitary, Barbara prayed, not foi herself, but for
u r absent lover.
Meantime public thirst for veil giance centered uron her. There was the unknown body upon the beach lobe explaineu. pierced (by a horn-thrust from Satan, said the experts on the black ict) and bloodless. Was Barbara, then, a procuress of murder as well as a sorceress? Pressure upon Governor t’lilps became too urgent 'o be dtsregirded, lie summoned Elder Goode tad Dr. John Harding.

"Was it a man you met in the woods?” She maintained a mournful but dogged silence. “it was! if you'll prove that we cat} save you.” "I can't ... I won’t!” “You won't name the man? I must not ask you why," said lie heavily. Ho sighed. “There’s another way. Listen, my dear. Suppose I was the man.”
“There is nothing that I can do to help you.” John said sadly. "Yes." Barbara answered, “be with me to the end so that I shall not see
the fear and hate in the other faces around me."
"Your "Don't you understand? You will name me. 1 will support your oath with my own. The Governor will accept that. Elder Morse and the others can’t disprove .t, and you will be

"But you.” she cried. "It would ruin you. You'd be up before the church fo, profligacy, you. a married man. And—am' Martha: what of ber? It's insane. Why should you destroy your career for me?" "Don't you know. Barbara?" A great wonder, a fear, a sorrow welled Into the wide eyes uplifted to his face. "Oh, John!” she whispered. "Oh, John! How could I real ize that you—that ycu—” Determination set the soft mouth. “Do you think that I would spoil your whole

"Then there is nothing I can do to help you." ne said sadly. Her look changed to exaltation. "Yes. Be with me at the end. I shall t.ot see thr fear and hate in the other faccs around me. 1 shall sre only your face of trust and belief.” “Of love," said be steadily. She bowed ber bead. "And I shall have courage to eiu.ure it," she said
