he concluded, emphasizing his convic
tion with a slap on the bnck.
"No, thank you," was the laughing
reply as they stepped aboard the car.
It was well filled. Across from the
friends sat two good-looking women,
evidently mother and daughter. Next
to the younger woman sat a sweet
faced Salvation Army girl, with her
tambourine In her lap. Her plain
dark blue dress was In marked con
trast to the fashionable suit and
beautiful furs of the ladles beside her.
Suddenly the younger of the two
turned nnd spoke to her. She smil
ingly responded and shook her head,
but as the other continued to urge a
wistful look came into the Army girl's
face as she glanced about the car.
"No, no," they heard her say; "tho
conductor would not allow me. The
rules are very strict," she added In
explanation. For a moment or so
there was silence, nnd over the faces
of both showed disappointment.

with the color suffusing her lovely
face, cnught up the tambourine and,
depositing a coin In It, started down
the car, Ignoring the shocked and ex
postulating "Nancy!" and the detain
ing hand of her astonished companion.
Passing from passenger to pnssenger,
she extended the tambourine, always
with a little smile and "It's Christmas,
you know," or some little word, until
each one felt It a privilege to contrib
ute something. As she turned by tho
door the conductor stepped forward
with, "Please, miss, I want to add
something to thnt, too."
Flushing, she exclaimed, "Oh! thank
you so much."
She pnssed on to her seat and re
turned to Its owner the tambourlnP,
that never beforo.ltnd received contri
butions so promptly and cheerfully
bestowed.
John Harding's hand had gone at
once Into his pocket when ho realized
what the girl was doing, and now he
was watching her with an almost nwe
struck Interest her lovely, sympathet

little workei In blue, apparently un

"Hy Jove I that wnsiti great thing to

the tension of an absorbing Interest
had subsided a little.
"Yes, I never saw Its equal," replied
John. After a moment's hestltattou he
added: "I should like to know that
girl. Do you suppose wo could ihid
out who she Is?"
"We can try," his friend replied;
"but why do you want to know?"
"Well, I do," John answered curtly.
Tom glanced quizzically at him and
smiled to himself. This was another
phase of John he was Just getting ac

began adjusting her furs. With an

he turned to Tom.
"Don't mention the affair to anyone

The station wns small and John had

about its being "too bad they couldn't

Nancy North threw a quick glanco
at Harding, but otherwise no outward
sign was given, as he walked with her
to the car, that they had ever seen one
another before or that the same
thought was In the minds of both, but
John was so strangely elated that Miss
North's color deepened each time she
looked up and met his smiling eyes.
"Now, don't you fellows keep our

"I'll guarantee our nrrlval on time,

In the German song, "Deutschland

as It was four years ago, Is to be de
clared that Germany stretches "from
the Maas to the Memel." As a mat
ter of fact, the German population
stops considerably short of the river
Memel, the committee on public In
formation says. The Memel valley
Is Inhabited chiefly by Lithuanians
and the sennort of Memel, located at
Its mouth, Is almost wholly a Lithu

In the middle ages the Lithuanian

the people. Notwthstandlng persecu

the Iron rule of the German police and

Memel (called Klaipeda by the
Lithuanians) Is the natural Lithuanian
outlet to the Haltlc sen. The Germans
could not develop It as a port because
there was no mainland behind It which

narrow strip of the territory was un

MOST PRODUCTIVE HEN TYPE
Poultry Keepers Aim to Combine Econ.
omy and Efficiency More Engs
From Fewer Hens.
(Prepared hy tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
American poultry keepers as n class
have always aimed to combine econ
omy and etllclency In poultry produc
tion. In wur-tlme patriotism Impels
them to extraordinary efforts in tills
direction, moving them to do every
thing, and to leave nothing undone
that will help to quickly Increase the
nation's supplies of poultry and eggs,
tt Is not the high cost of feed nlone,
since America entered the war, that
has led to more careful attention to
the routine work In poultry keeping,
nnd to greater Judgment and skill In
feeding. The saving of money has
been un Incentive, but, nbove and be
yond Hint, every poultry keeper real
izes that getting better production
from less feed Is doing double duly In
conservation nnd production saving
feed and at the same time Increasing
food.
That America poultry keepers are,
on the whole, more eillclent In egg pro
dilution seems to be plainly Indicated
by the fact that, as compared with the
period before the war, market receipts
of eggs Increased, more than receipts
of poultry. Heports from persons In
touch with production in many locali
ties agree that more eggs are being
produced from the usual numbers of
hens kept, nnd In ninny Instances from
smaller numbers. It may well be pre
sumed that such ollldoncy In one line
of production extends to others closely
co-ordinated with It, and that poultry
meat Is being grown more economical,
ly though no common statistics Indi
cate It, and It Is not so readily ob
served In common practice.
Among professional breeders of
standard poultry the first result of
war-time conditions was to emphasize
afresh, and more effectively than ever,
the benefits of rigid selection of breed
ing stock nnd severe culling of tho
young stock while growing. The high
cost of feed hit this class of poultry
keepers hardest because, even under
normal conditions, a considerable part
nf their stock must lie carried for unite
a long time after coming to maturity
before It Is sold. The concentration
of Interest nnd Industry upon things
Immediately relating to the conduct of
the war and the production of food
tended to decrease the demand for
their stock.
So, with stock actually costing a
great deal more than In normal times,
they had to face the problem of either

grades of Btock to attract trade. Somo
chose one alternative, some the other;
but all adopted the policy of using only

breeders of the very beat type, and so
reducing to the lowest practical point
the waste of feeding Inferior young
itock.
Professional breeders wero com
pelled to do this, because no other
plan of economizing comparable to It
In elllciency was open to them. Good
feed in abundance had to be used,
whatever the cost, or their birds would
not attain full development and com
mand profitable prices.
Their methods generally are so well
udapted to their work that no cousld
eriibh' saving of time nnd labor is pos
sible. The only solution of their prob
lem was the exclusive production of
poultry of the iuallty that would bring
profitable prices, for In feed and cure
birds of high quality cost no more to
produce than those of greatly inferior
quality.
For thu professional breeder this ex
act adaptation of the stock to the end
for which it Is designed Is a necessity,
in the matter of producing eggs and
meat there is not the same absolute
necessity. The volume of production
can be maintained, uhd even greatly
Increased, by the continuance nnd ex
tension of those better practices which
have made possible so much of the
Increase which has already been
attained. Hut If the producers of
eggs and poultry for the table aro
to do their utmost to Increase tho
supplies of those products, the easi
est, the shortest nnd the surest
way Is through general use of tho
most productive types; that Is, by the
use on the part of every poultry keep
er of the most productive types In Ids
stock. It Is not meant that there
should be wholesale replacement of or
dinary stocks by stock of strains cele
brated for extreme high production.
That may be done to advantage In
many Instances. Hut with the great
majority ot poultry keepers Immediate
gain In production must he made by
good use of such stock as they have.
