"Mefore and during the war a car load of hogs worth &l,."0O was sold for $12," said Mr. P.urke. "The pres ent price of hogs Is about :i:t 1-U per cent of their wartime value, but the commission on a carload of hogs now worth about Sl.flOO li $1C and $18.

"Protests- against thesi high rates have been pmiilug Into the l.lve Stock Exchange fur months, and became so strong that a committee was appoint ed to consider a revision downward. Together with many other conimis-Ion men who feel that (he rates are too high, we have been waiting patiently for some action, but the committee has done nothing, and so far as we can learn has not even held a meet ing. We have taken the lead In an effort to get the commission charges down to a Imsl fair to die farmer, who must also pu heavy freight anil feed charges." Practically every car of stock sent to the Chicago yards Is consigned to some commission firm, the percentage consigned direct to the packers or Eastern shippers being almost neg ligible.

She strolled through the living room, inspecting the Persian rugs, the marble statuao, the pictures by modern mas- j tei's, the grand piano on which she had loved to play. She passed through room after room and then slowly us- cended the stairs to her bedroom. Here, too. she took a Dual leave taking. Never iigaln would this lux ury ho -iVH, The man for whom she was leaving her husband was com paratively poor, a struggling proles fesslonal man, who was throwing up what little practlca he had, for her bake, and taking her to a distant city. She hud been married 12 years, and there had been u time when she loved her husband with nil the devotion of which her heart was capable. Ah, but that was when Harry was u struggling lawyer, before he became famous, acquired the representation of a do.en of the biggest corporations In the country. In many ways she ndmlred him. lie was the soul of honesty. Again and again he had refused to handle cases which he believed unjustllled. All the more they believed In him. All the more they crowded to his of lice. In those early days when they had a three-room u .utiuent In llaiiem, ll ey had adored each other. It was only when Harry glow rich that their uenlih had come between them. lie had showered gifts and luxuries iipua her and the.v Iind meant so littlo to her. She wiiii'od onl.v love. P.ut material things bad Intervened, and for a whole year now thej had been nothing to each oilier. Sh sii, peeled' l !'iit there had been other women in ll.irr.v's life, but she had been ton proud to Investigate the stories that had been told her. She bad simply waited until a new love came to her. Then she had met King, a struggling lawyer, and she knew It was love . v if it ut last. Like many women, she needed love more than anything In the .lorhl. Their hearts had leaped to gether. At last she had consented to .ihiindon everything and come away with him. Sue was to meet him at the station that. night, and they were to go away together. And this was the last leave-taking of the big house In which Harry and she had spent the past live years to gether. Years of heart-breaking neg lect and loneliness and yet, in spite of It till, lender thoughts would arise unbidden when she remembered what they hud meant to each other lu tho long ago. If only he had ever .shown her Hint he still cared! She would have been everything to him! P.ut (here was no time to Indulge In morbid introspection. The lime for that was past, and In another hour King and she would lie on the train to gether. Feverishly" she began to put u few things together In her bag. She was Inking away only a few personal ef fects. The iv-t all Harry's gifts, all her Jewel r.v, she was leaving behind her. It was done, and the snap of the hag sounded lu her ears like something lr revocable, she crept down the stairs. Tilklns, the lnnler, wu.s In the dining room, lie neist not see her. She was on the lust flight when she heard a ke.v In the front door. It was Harry. Home early and he was hudlly owl Inline before ion. Panic smote her. She cowered against the wall, watching his tall form go Into the living rnojn. Then, picking up tho bag, she went on. Now she was In the hall, past the dining room, in which she could hear Tilklns moving. Ittti the door of the living room was open, and she could see Harry silting with Ids head In Ids luilllls. And a sudden Irresistible desire eaiue to her to tell him what she was going io do. A desire not to steal away like a thief, but to confront him bohlly end openly. She went In, leaving the hug In the ball. Harry looked up. His face was haggard. "Whut Is It?" . "W'o'io ruined, that's all. I've been hiding ll from you. I didn't want to worry you." She hoard him dimly as he went on. L'nforlunnlo specula tions . . -. the corporations hud grown tired of Ids Inllexihlllty and gradual! fallen away, gone to younger and lof-s scrupulous men. "It means llaiiem again not so bad as Hiirlem. perhaps, hut a Hat. Can you can you let things he as they used to be?" "Harry!" Suddenly she know. She was kneeling at Ids side, her arms about him.

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY The Christian Home Orphanage, Council Bluffs, Iowa, will hove round el out forty years of .service in be half of orphan and destitute children on March 16th. This great institu tion, known in all parts of the coun try, has been built up and maintained wholly by the voluntary contributions of the people. It hus no other means of support. It cares for a daily average of more than two hundred children, received from all parts of the country, and also conducts a hospital department, a department for aged, dependent women and a depart ment for the crippled and deformed. At present a most' serious epidemic of flu has stricken the Home, more than one hundred being s'ck, many of them seriously. Funds are badly needed to help meet the expense of this onslaught, and to help keep the work from debt. Every department of the institution is crowded, and ap peals are made to the people to help. It is hoped that a Fortieth Anniver sary offering to this work will relieve a pressing s'tuation which, if long continued, will work prions injury to the Orphanage. Send something to these little ones. Address Tho Chris tian Home Orphanage, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Lynn Bush returned to Hastings Monday morning after upending Sun day here visiting with his parents.
