DAUGHTER OF EVE

When Hester Malone tripped In from
fter ride, the dcliphtful tunc of aa
tomn Hill clung to her. Loose strand)
f wavy hnlr Iny about soft cheek
wblrped to vermilion by the wind
Dropping an armful of woodland beau
ty, she tupped at the generous en
folding collar of nor modish cont and
looked about her for a receptacle for
the treasure.
In the tiny kitchenette she espied
the big brown bean pot, nlnsl no long
er In service, and tupped It down from
n upper shelf. It was Just the thing
to bold the great cluster of purple as
ter rimmed with goldrnrod.
With her small, dnrk head cocked to
eae aide, Heater studied the effect of
warm hucd autnmn leaves against
drab velours hanging. Suddenly the
Mm, erect figure crumpled tip like a
oft gray kitten and plumped onto
the springy couch, crying heartbroken
ly. There was a mighty good reason
for the tears, for Hester was known
t spunky young person, who held
ker head very high whichever way the
wind happened to blow. Today she
felt deeply humiliated, crushed In fact,
and all on account of Jed Bnxter't
Illy old car.
It had a left-hand drive, that car of
Jed's, which of course brought Hea
ter's stunning left proDle in almost
constant view of the apparently enaro
red young man. At times, as the
ar lurched over rails and crossings,
which was often, Jed's broad right
boulder brushed dangerously near
Hester's dainty left, and very, very
dose to her heart. Which was all very
tue, or might have been, had only Jed
been seated on her right hand. For
on Hester's left cheek there was a
car, a tiny one, which showed scarce
ly any, unless Irritated by a strong
wind.
Jed bad parked the car by the road-
aide, and together they had followed
the winding path up the long slope
dotted with clumps of varl-colored fo
liage, ne had filled her arms with the
riot of wild flowers growing by the
wayside, nester was hatlesa now, and
M ber dark head had leaned to a back
ground of biasing sumac Jed bad
started toward ber with arms out
stretched. Hester's dilating gray eyes
bad already answered the love call In
Ma when to ber utter confusion and
humiliation she saw his arms drop to
fclf aides. His finely lighted eyes sud
denly grew dim and dropped from hers,
fastening themselves directly upon the
car on her left cheek. The thrilling
words nester had been waiting to hear
for more than a year now were left un
said. It was the horrid little rear, of
course, which had raised Its Inflamed
bead and separated her from Jed, per
baps forever. Why did she have to
bave that unfortunate fall In her baby
hood? It was ruining her life.
A fresh burst of tears and Hester's
face ducked Into a convenient pillow.
Jed was going West tonight Mon very
Important business," he had told her.
Perhaps there was someone there
whom he cared for more than her.
Be had behaved strangely when they
parted.
Jamie Boyce, a flashy acquaintance,
called her on the telephone, Inviting
ber out for a spin. After Innumerable
refusals the weary-hearted girl at last
lest an ear to the persistent one. "Is

coolly asked.
"Not for mine, little Miss Choose-lt."
retorted this young sport. "Is tt a go,

"I'll come." laughed nester. It would
do her good, perhaps numb the eter
nal ache In her heart.
It was a glorious Sunday and nester

Laughing and chattering like a magpie
a the up-to-date car slid smoothly
along under the de'lghted James' ex
pert guidance, she realized that Jed's
.old car hod been a "back number."
- Was Jed hlmslf tn the same category?
She stole a glance at the cock-sure
profile. At her second searching look
Jamie whirled the big car Into a quiet
country lane, shut off the gas. stepped
on the brake and flung his arms about
ber. "Hester, I love you. Will you
marry me?" he demanded speedily.
nester stared horrified Into the face
close to her own the spreading Irises,
red-rlmmed from lack of sleep, the dis
sipated mouth and weak chin, the
green necktie, decorated with Inflamed
freckles" and a diamond horseshoe.
"I get ya," coolly announced Jamie,
releasing her. ne Jabbed at the self
starter button.
If only It had been Jed I Jamie, seat
ad on her light, hadn't noticed the
car. nester smothered a groan. She
loved Jed and Jed only.
. As Hester was plucklly endeavoring
to believe that she wanted to "pound
brass" the rest of ber life, Jed came
back.
I "I want you, nester." he cried.
"Indeed," commented she to the
world In general. But ber heart ham

PHOPER COOLING FOR CREAM
Attention Must Be Given Just as Soon
as Separated-Dampened Blankets
Lower Temperature.
Now that warm weather Is approach
ing, every possible means must be
taken to get cream on the market in
good condition. The warm days that
bave already passed have had a
marked effect in lowering the quality
of cream now being made Into butter.
Attention must first be paid to cool
tng the cream Just as soon as sep
arated. However, the greatest ex
posure to heat usually comes when the
cream Is hauled to market, and the
cans are left uncovered and exposed
to the hot sun and dust.
It has been found by experiment
that the temperature may he kept
more than 20 degrees lower when
dampened blankets are thrown over
the can or dampened blankets are
i,sed than when the cans are left un
covered. In addition, the dirt and
dust are kept away from the cans and
cream.
It la not only to the advantage of
the producer to help In keeping up the
quality of the cream so that good
prices may rortlnue, hut low-grada
cream cinnot be allowed to come upon
the market In the future.

Tbe good dairy cow la a large eatei

ach and must consume large amounts
of feeds dally to fill the milk pall at
every milking during the year. 'She
must eat till she Is full and content
to lie tn the stall or pasture and chew
her cud.
Much rough feed In tbe form of bay
and silage must be Included in ber
daily ration. Also she must bave some
rich or heavy feeds such as grain or
meal. The total amount of feed she
should receive dally or a, a single feed
will depend somewhat upon tbe
amount of milk she Is giving, or
capable of giving. While she la giving
her heaviest flow of milk she should
iave a rather heavy grain or concen

wen niieu up, prices are mwy ovc iutr uu mutiwmi
and comon kinds, while the best feeders and stockers
about 25c lower.
Com Fed Cattle are fully 25 to 50c lower than the
best time week ago and prospects are they will reach
a still lower level.
Ilange lleef Steers: While the stock paper call this
class of cattle steady to 25c lower we want to im
press upon you that it is anywhere from 25 to 50c
lower. Top this wwk $15.25.
The 1 inter-State look for big receipts of cattle next
week providing the railroads will furnish the cars.
Cows and Mixed Stock: Beg to advise that this
week's supply included a large percent of cows and
heifers, and not extra good quality. Don't get jour
Ideas too high on these common to just fair stock cows
and heifers, because the demand is very slim, and they
are selling around 16.00 to $6.25. The good quality
stock cows and heifers nearly steady. Fat cows and
Heifers right close to 5c lower than the close of la6t
week. Bulls very dull and draggy, only very few buy
ers that will take them on, and at prices ranging from
$5.50 to $6.50, unless extremely smooth and fat, then
the packers will go against them at $7.50 to $8.00.
Stockers and Feeders: There has been quite a
number of good quality feeder steers here this week,
and some of them selling as high as $14.15, but the
bulk of the choice weighty feeder steers selling around
$11 00 to $12.50, others from $9.50 to $11.00. Stock
er steers if good quality from $9.50 to $10.75, hut all
others from $5.50 to $9.00. Very poor demand for
the common stuff. Good quality stock calves from
$8 50 to $9.50, and the good quality stock cows and
heifers from $7.50 to $8.50, and up to 9c If choice.
Of course a bunch of choice white face yearling heif
ers or two year olds would bring $10.00 per hundred
or better.

Shep and Lambs Higher for Week Fatj Lamb. Now
Selling Around 15.50 for the Best Top Feeder
Lambs 91 Demand Good. Supply Moderate.
The supply of sheep and lambs here this week mod
erate, although much greater than any of the other
markets. The demand for good feeding lamba con
tinues strong, and aa a consequence, the bulk of the
better grades have been gobbled up around $13.25 to
$14 0 The big advance, compared to a week ago, Is
on the good fat lambs. A week ago today the best fat
lambs were selling around $14.60. and today $15 50.
We believe now is a good time to buy these feeding
lambs and sheep. Watch our quotations:
Supply of Hogs Much Heavier Than Week Ago-
Values Decline 50c to fl.OO r Hundred
Top $10.00 to Shippers.
You will notice a top on all markets now-days that
is fully one to two dollars higher than the bulk of the
hogs, and which is paid fo ra prime load or two of
light weights by the order buyers. You will note that
the packers are not paying within $1.00 per hundred
of the shipper top. Consequently, you must figure
your hogs to sell around the bulk or if light and good,
to sell at the Packers top. Ilemember the Inter-State
with your Hog, bceause we have real men in the hog
alleys and will sure look after your Interest.
