DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD, DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. StMMIthMriraStetches Canadian Farmers Turn Winter Months to Good Account. Lnrge crops and good prices for the wheat, oats, barley and flax from Ca nadian farms have made the winter resorts In California at times resemble a meeting of n Canadian farmers' In stitute, but the practice among suc cessful farmers of spending their win ters holidaying seems to bo on the wane. After all, nothing can be raoro tiresome than having nothing to do, nnd the farmers of Western Canada are now finding winter employment right on their farms which rivals the attractions of the sunny South. Live stock Is the explanation, ac cording to a six-foot Westerner who dropped Into the Canadian Government Information Bureau at 311 Jackson street, St. Paul. ITo was on his way back to Western Canada with n car load of selected breeding stock which had carried off blue ribbons nt several stato fairs In 1010, "We have found," Hold he, "that there is just as much Pleasure and a great deal more profit In developing a herd of prlzo stock as In listening to the murmur of the sad sea waves.

Adv. 1 Happy Ik the man who sees thlngx, ii t they should bo Instead of uh the L ft I Glory of the Morning By Katharine Egglcston Robert (Coprrlsbt, 1120, Wtilirn Ncwipapir Union) The world was opaline. From high up In tho citadel I looked down Into the heart of It. The sun, half hidden by n cloud, sent streaks of flame across the pearl-gray sky. Within the shadowy girdle of tho hills a rainbow hazo en meshed the valley. It melted the red and yellow of tho peaked roofs that crowded by the stream) of flowing gold, thinning where the waters met. There in the weird and mystic light lay the unreal earth, and I was far away tip thero nlone In reality. Sud denly I longed for some one else to look with me and feel the eerie beauty of It all. The loneliness pinched at my heart and made it ache. And then n voice within the stones behind 'me cried: "I built this cita del long centuries ago, nnd every day I've watched the Journey of tho sun from morn till night. I've wntched tho people living underneath those penked roofs. You cannot see them ; you havo not my eyes. Alwnys I watch the peo ple of Namur." Tho voice did not seem strange to me. It was an answer to my longing for sonio one. I feared that It might go might Irnvc mo there nlone above the wonderlnnd. I begged It: "Tell mo whnt you've, seen, what you are seeing now."

"Five years ago tho troops wore or dered out to fight luvndors from ncross tho Ilhlno. To that houso came Mar cel Duvnl to tell his, Jeanne 'Good by.' They were to have been married the next month, and It was very hard for them to part. Marcel had light hah- and blue eyes; be Could talk Ger man better than the rest, nud he was not to light with gun and sword, but vtth tho cunning of his mind to be a spy. "I looked down nt them as they stood before tho house. The ovenlng wrapped them close, but I could see Jeanne's eyes were wet gray, like the twilight woven through the mist. Her dark bend pressed against his coat. Tho circle of her arms gleamed whlto about his neck. They kissed. Sho choked her sobs and smiled. He looked just nnc!t long time then he turned "House Down Near the Church." nnd run. Ho dared not look again. The smile died on her lips. She sank upon the door step und her shoulders shook, "It wasn't long before the German horde came to the hills about the town. They stormed tho forts for three days, till at hist they won their entrance Inlo old Namur. They occu pied the place. They took the best and sold the Icnvlngs to Namur folk nt triple price. They occupied my home, paraded round nbout my walks, I knew them well, and I was sorry for tho people In tho city down below.

A spy might not bo In Germany; he might bo here amidst the army of tho conquerors In Belgi um, In Namur, nnd any time, nut all her hopes were vain and, ns tho months dragged Into years and no news came, she ceased to look at ev ery passerby, for disappointment only emphasized her fear. "Then one night, when tho lights were out and nil was still, she heard a gentle tapping at tho door. Her mother opened It n little way, nnd through the space a mnn's voice whis pered: "I'm weary; I have traveled far today. Once, long ngo, they told me If I visited Namur, I'd find safe shelter In your home." Her heart bent quickly as they let him In. Was It Marcel? At least, perhaps some news. Hut no, the stranger knew only thnt once two years ago he and Duvnl had been together on a bit of work In Austria. Duval had said that If he chanced to rench Namur, they'd give him lodging In that house. Duval had sent n message, but that was lent; ago, nnd since then well, no one had heard from him. Tho stranger hid there nil next day, nnd then at night departed and was swallowed, by the dark, ''Five years ot hopeful tomorrows turned to dreary yesterdnys. To me, who has lived for centuries, five years are like 4 minute of tho day. To Jeanne, each year out of the five was llko n century. It was the Imprison ing silence, not the Bochc, that crushed her soul. The Huns were driven back to their own land. Namur was free and, one by oue, the soldiers who had lived rotuncd, to stay nt home ngaln. And still no one could tell the fute of lost Marcel Duval. And then" The voice broke off, for down below the bells began to ring, the chimes that drove the cloud from off the sun. The opnlescent sky turned turquoise blue; the sunlight tore the rainbow haze and sent n golden shower across the world. And from tho church door came n bridal nntr. I heard a whisper of the voice again: "The eyes ot Jeanne are gray morn lit with dawn." My loneliness was gone. Tho earth was real I And from the citadel above Namur I looked down on the glory of the morning.
