The mys tery f why May Collin did not go to the nation with all the other to ureet Charlie Chaplin on hit return from Europe it a mystery no lunger. She solved it herself in tight words; "I am not that mt't of a Kill!'' Over teacup in the Alexandria tea room at a ncelmlod little tahle where no one could. hear, Mis Col Jinn chattiul eonfidentiglly about her off-ir and discussed love, ambition and careers with a quaint mixture of 7-year-old inRcrtotisnesi and the sophistication of 70. Happy Over Arrival. "I wa very happy when I heard Mr. Chaplin was comiiiR home, be cause we were much together the year before he wnt away all of the time except a month, when we had a silly little misunderstanding and I mined him, oh! 1.0 very much, while he was pone, and I realty did want to see him arrive, but it was much nicer I staying at home and having him come to see rao," she said. "I don't think he would mind my telling that he brought me this lovely silver fox fur," and she stroked ten derly a huge fur neck piece which almost swallowed her and which she would not take off eten for a second, not withstanding the heat.

And he went to see a private view of my picture 'All's Fair in Love' wfcile he was in New York, and almost the first thing he told mc was of how much he liked me in the role I took. I don't think anything in the world could make mc quite so happy a? praise like that, for I think Mr. Chaplin knows more about what good acting should be than well anybody else; and then, best of all, he never says anything he doesn't mean; he never flatters anyone.

Poultry Breeders to Hold Pure-Bred Sale In Johnson County Tecumsch, Neb., Nov. 12. (Spe cial.) At a meeting of the Johnson County Live Stock Breeders' asso ciation, it was decided to hold a pub lic sale of poultry at the sale p.v villion in Tecumsch November 19. This is believed to be a new depar ture, announced nowhere else in the country up to this time. It is ex pected that 500 chickens will be sold, all to be rjurc-bred and of any breed. The poultry will be taken to- the sale pavillion a day or two before the sale, where an experienced judge will judge the birds and mark the score cards. The birds will be sold in lots, trios, pairs and individually, including chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks, and the scoring of the birds will be announced by the auctioneers. A special effort will be made at this time to start more farmers and members of their families to rais ing pure-bred chickens instead of scrubs. There are many pure-bred flocks in the county now, and the aim of the society will be for purc breds only. In a campaign being made by County Agent J. F. Purbaugh, many flocks in the county are being culled of the nonlaying hens. The outcome of the auction sale of poultry will be watched with interest, not only by Johnson county breeders, but by those of the country over.

Plain Speaking on Life on the Farm By NEBRASKA WOMAN. This fast winter, while in Lincoln I had an interesting talk with a stu dint at the State College of Agri culture. He is working his way through college because bis father declined to lend him (the matter of giving was unthinkable) even a part of the exprusqs of his education. This young man was the fifth child in a family of eight, all born within 10. years, and he told me that there was always one girl acting as "little mother" to the younger children. His mother is broken in liealtli, a mere faded imitation of what she used to be as a young woman, and was work ing Jar beyond what dtrength she had, His father owns a section of wheat land in western Nebraska, and is rated as one of the financially sound members of his community, his land is paid for, he owns bank stock, two cars, a fine set of barns and other outbuildings, and a five room house without conveniences. The young man told mc that his decision to go to the State College of Agriculture had been the subject of a bitter fight, at the end of which his father had told him to go his way, cam his way, and never call upon him for a single cent, because he would not get it. If that young man had been paid for the work he had done for bis father, for the calves which he had raised and which the father had sold and pocketed the mency, he would have had more than half of the amount necessary for his tuition and his living expenses. "It was the same with mother," he said. "She would have a calf given to her to raise, but when it was sold the money went to father, and she never saw a cent of it. She raises about 400 chickens yearly, after all losses are accounted for, and he pockets the money for eggs and broilers. I am through with him. But, so help mc God, 1 want to find a way to give mother a little case and comfort' the last of her life, if I have to tear her from him for the rest of her days. She has worked like a slave, and I have learned a great lesson from it all. A woman is a partner, or she, is nothing. And no woman will ever suffer such treat ment from me as my mother has had from my father. The other children at home arc still doing field work for him. and they never see a cent of pay for it. He. gave us the district schooling because be had to, but would not give us any more. The banker told me before I left home that father was worth $40,000 besides, his land, and mother has to beg for a pair if stockings." Better Way Than Separation. 1 realize that individuality, the doc trine of individualism, has been over emphasized in some of life's rela tions, but society in the large gen eral term is made up of individuals, men and women with all the good trails and all the weaknesses to which human flesh is heir. The con servation of the best in individuals is a duty which we owe to society, and this "best" includes physical as well as moral strength. The woman who, because of imposition and un just treatment by her husband, de velops a feeling of bitterness in her heart is not growing in strength mentally, though she may perceive as clearly as ever. Nor is she likely to increase in physical strength. Any doctor will tell you that anger and allied sensations weaken the physi cal structure, and he will explain the physiology of it much better than I can. If her feeling of injustice bc conies so pronounced as, to lead the woman to the divorce court for re lief, and that appears to be a step of growing popularity in Nebraska, society is the loser. Not because of one less married couple in a community, but because two per sons arc proven to be either men ially c.r physically not what they should be because of inequality in their united lives, which could have been corrected but was not. I hold no brief for the laws of Nebraska which make divorce' so easy to ob tain, due to the numerous charges which can be preferred. I do, how ever, entertain a profound sympa thy for the woman producer who has failed to receive a just propor lipn of the proceeds of her toil and who is obliged to look to the law for the justice and fair treatment de nied her by her husband. The Rights of the Children. The child fn the home has an im portant bearing in this connection. In early days in this country, the custody of the child was awarded to the father, regardless, of fitness, in nine cases out of ten. It took a desperate struggle to amend the law covering custody of minoi children in divorce cases. Today the question is settled after deliberation on all phases of tht matter, includ With Nebraska County Farm Agents OTOE COUNTY. A. K. Do lmg, Agent. Syracuse. .Neb.. Nov. 12. Specif 1.)

Farmers want sons. Tliey want boys who thall grow up to bdi them farm, assist with the chores, stay with them in their old age, Until the' boy marries, he is ex pected by his father in many a home to work hard for hi keep and to be mighty thankful for hi schooling and his clothes. And father starts them in young, I have 5 mi boys, little boys, so small that they could barely grasp the handles of a plow, trudging a I wig behind a team of work horses, reins knotted behind their little shoulders, little fellows who ought to have been in swimming, or playing around, or hiinply lying under a big tree, dreaming little boy dreams. But father had hitched up the gray team and said that the stubble in the south field should be turned under, so there was the little chap, not more than 6 years old, plowing, sturdily walking along with hands high on the plow handles. And mother sighed and shook her head. Discouraging the New Generation. Was it Schopenhauer or some other cynic who said: "Paternity is a cheap office, accomplished with out coot, pain or risk. The only thing of which a man should boast is a divine maternity." I heard not long ago of about as small a piece cf meanness as a par ent can be guilty of to a child. Pig club work was instituted in a cen tral Nebraska county, and because there was no club near-by, a farmer gave his 14-year-old son a pig to own, and raise, and exhibit at the county fair in September. Fair time came, and the boy's pig wen the blue ribbon in the futurity ciass. An offer of $75 was made for, the pig, which was a good price in 1920 when money was tight. It seemed a big sum to the boy when the check was handed to him. so he patted the pig goodbye and went home with the check. The father put in a bill for the cost of the baby pig which he had "given" to the boy, and for its feed, and the total account took 90 per cent of th boy's check. I am informed that this is not an isolated casCj. and can readily believe it. If not, why was a speaker placed on the program at organized agriculture week in Jan uary, 1921. at Lincoln, to talk on the subject, "The Boy's Pig Whose Hog?" (To be Concluded fn it Kundaj's tire.- Farmers of Iowa Best Fed Class in State Des Moines, la., Nov. 12. Despite the low prices of grain1 and live stock, farmers and their families are still the best fed class in the state, according to home economics ex perts from . the department of agri culture, who have just completed a survey of the . average farm menus in different parts of the state. It is figured that the average farm family consumes 19 pounds of food per day as against the average for all families of 14 1-2 pounds per day. Almost twice as much cooking fat was found to be used by farm fami lies as by the general average of other groups. This indicates ihat the housewife is inclined to do too much of her cooking by frying, the experts say. The statistits showed that eggs are' not used as abundantly on farms as among the people at large. "Milk is generously used on farms," the experts said, "even though there are fewer children than the average in far mhomcs." Other dairy products are also abundantly used, according to the report. Corn breads are popular in Iowa. A large proportion of starchy vegc- The farmer's meals . asa whole, were found to be well balanced, tables and a small quantity of green and succulent kinds was reported used by farm families. i Bayard Public Library Doubles Number of Books Bayard, Neb., Nov. 12.

The team re ceived live silver medals. The folks at hohic are proud cf their team, be cause at no time was the team's judging uniform as a team. Nebraska's prize judging team is directly responsible to the boys' and girls' club movement. The team was the crowning point, a history of the Hall county club shows, of a persist ent endeavor to encourage better dairy herds. It started with a Ho steiu Calf club in May. 1920. Eight boys and two girls made up tho first club and they settled on Holsteins. Ten heifers were purchased. The heifers did well during the season, but interest in the club waned. The calves were exhibited at the county fair and made a good showing. This summer a dairy judging team I was prepared for the state fair. Training was started, first among herds in the county, and then near- j by counties. Later the team was. given its final workout on a few cattle at the college of agriculture. The team took first and three mem- bers of the team ranked second, first and third. The extension serv ice of the college made the team's trip possible to the National show. i Much Redtop Clover Seed Comes Into U. S.

This is good economy, for few farm implements cm aifurd to pay rent on a high priced ma chine shed. More important than the place of storage is the condition in which tho machinery is put away. All woodwork should be painted to prevent warping and checking. Heal ing surfaces -.ho.ild be well oiled anil mould-board ;:nd shares should be covered with axle grease. Most machines "rust out" faster than they wear out. Depreciation charges may be cut in two by tiling a little paint and grease this fall. Mulching T'nder Trees Heavy mulching under the orchard trees will guard against severe freezing and hence against winter-killing. However, this mulching should not be closer than a foot from the trunk of the tree. Freight Rates Halt Nebraska Sales of Alfalfa Water Kate From Western Sea board to New York Same As Nebraska Freight To Chicago. Lincoln, Nov. 12. Alfalfa growers on the western seaboard are enabled to market their hay . in New York and other eastern markets at a little more than western Nebraska grow ers arc compelled to pay for freight charges to Chicago, according to a report made by the state bu reai of markets. The comparative cheapness of water transportation from the Pacific coast is responsi ble, the report states. "California alfalfa growers can market their hay in the east at $12 a ton, while the freight rate from western Nebraska to Chicago amounts to $11.90," according to the report. "This is attributed to the comparative cheapness of transpor tation by water." The freight rate for alfalfa fiom Mansfield, Neb., 16 Omaha, is $8.60 per ton at the present time, and the tate from Mansfield to Chicago is $11.90 a ton, the report says. To ship by rail to New York is prohi bitive, the report says, as alfalfa is selling on the New York market at about $30 a ton. Western hay is shipped via the Panama canal on regular steamers, the water rate being $12 per ton, in cluding tolls. Recent shipments from the west ranging from 500 to 3,000 bales marked the first western hay sold in. any considerable quan tity in Atlantic seaboard cities, the report stales.

The continued heavy movrinent ot potatoes from the principal Uie-pro-ducing sections of the countiy has been responsible for a practical ce, saliou of demand from outside points for northern Colorado pou tors, according to a held aKcnt ot the Itureau of Markets and Crop Intimates w ho is lusted in that lec tion. The acreage in the northern part of Colorado is considered ' '-"al authorities to be approximately th name as Ilia til last year, digging was practically completed by the end I of October. It is (eurr ally conceded I that the dry weather in July rcculted ' in an average yield per acre of around !85 backs of 110 pound each, com pared with a normal yield of approxu mately 100 sacks per acre. Consider able fusarium wilt ha been ob served in the Downing, but it is be lieved that the later maturing types will not show so much of this disease. Dry weather was responsible for perhaps more than the usual amount of "knobby." sun-burned, - and growth-cracked stock also. In a, number of cases crops which wcre sorted in the field have failed to meet the rcauirements of U. S. No. 1 grade because of the presence of i an amount in excess of the tolerance ! allowed for these defects. I Grading Law in Operation, i The operation of the compulsory j (Male grading law, which was put into 'effect this season, has proved gencr. ally satisiactory. and the authorities charged with enforcement of the law report that the growers arc generally availing themselves of the oppor tunities offered by the local state in. spectors for instruction in grading. The October report of the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates fore casts a production of 11,360,000 bushels of potatoes for Colorado, compared with 12.104,000 bushels forecast on September 1, with a December estimate last year of 10.920,000 bushels. The fact that the last government estimate placed practically all of the increase in the cast and showed 1 slightly lower probable crop in Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho and California has served to heighten the confidence of local growers and shippers in the potential strength of the crop situation in this section. The carlot movement from Colo rado to October 15 totaled 5.2J4 cars, compared with 3,858 to the same, date last season. While there has been considerable storing by local operators of both Idaho and north ern Colorado potatoes, it is undoubt edly a fact that a larger percentage of the crop remains in the growers' bands than has been the case for several years. Most growers sort and sack at least a part of their stock in the field at digging time for im mediate sale, but it was clearly no ticeable this fall that a majority of the growers hauled practically ail of their crops into farm dugout.-. Market Weakens. The pric paid to groweis W 1 sacked Dowuings September 19 was $1.50, but under heavy ship ments from other sections and a sub sequent tailing off in the demand from outside consuming districts, the local market weakened to a range of $1.15 to $1.25 around October 1. Growers refused to haul in quantity at these prices, however, and the maiket gradually recovered by Octo ber 13 to a range of $1.50 to $1.60, only to suffer another relapse under the pressure of continued heavy ship ments from other sections, and clos ing prices for U. S. No. 1 sacked Ktirals and Tearls on October 22 were mostly $1.25. Market conditions in Coloiado last season ;,t this time were somewhat similar to conditions this year on November I, although the carlot movement for the entire country was considerably lower and the fore cast of a large crop exerted a de pressing effect upon future buying. The prices paid to growers were practically the same as those in effect this season. Farmers Near Bloomfield Complete Corn Picking Bloomfield, Neb., Nov. 12. (Spe cial.)
