This at least la the Interpretation placed upon the situation by T. F. Rturgess, editor of the Twentieth Century Farmer, who has Just re turned from a trip of over a month throughout the east. "People do not eat butter unless they are prosperous," said Mr. Stur grsa., "But the fact is that the 108, 000,000 pounds of butter in storage ir the early fall is now practically vh a nutfirt T hovn fhla atraiffht frntTl n nair nozen or me nigeesi creamery Ann niiirpp ninn in nirnsn. ipw York and other eastern points.

O., March 8. Commenting on today's action of the house of repre sentatives In tho armed ship controversy, William J. Bryan, former secretary of state, who discussed Militarism" at a public meeting here tonight, said he did rot believe the vote on tho McLemoro resolution ' represents the sentiment of congress on the actual Issue of warning Americans. . "The question was presented In such a way that there U little significance In the wU.'.'.iia-aald. "It doea oiofr repre sent the' sentiment In congress as to the wisdom of Americana traveling upon bel ligerent merchantmen. Had this question been presented and the opinion of con gress asked upon It, there Is no doubt that a majority in both senate and house Would have expressed themselves In favor of preventing Americans from traveling Into the danger sones on belligerent ships. If the action of congress helps the presi dent to reach a peaceful settlement of the, sontroversy, everybody will be happy." Overdose of Drugs ' Lands Knockout Blow PHILADELPHIA. Pa..

"Did he leave?" "No but It didn't matter, because Just then the c'oor opened and the good old sink that ran the place came In. He sal.l he'd heard enough of what was said to realize that wo girls needed some help and advice, and suggested that since Mr. Pollock seemed determined to stay there, that we might (so down to his office." "Did you go?" Yes. Mary quieted down, at the presence of another man, and drying her eyes went with him, saying frankly that she and I wanted some work to pay our board until we could hear from home. "Did the' proprietor offer to help you?" Amy hubbled with laughter. ."H did better than that. Ho handed us each a Job as hlscuit-sllnger In the dining room. Mary wss to administer the table d'hote to the regulars snd I was to be on tho Job with the transients and some tran.l"nts they were, too! Of course Mary miide a hit right off. She was tho eutest thing you ever saw in the gel-up of a hash-house I.lszle. Even the dyspep- tfo rid grouch who edited the weekly Mwtpapcr smiled at her when she took his arder, and the sour-faced old left ovar thst had been waiting on the table looked as If she wanted to strangle Mary every time she passed her." The Judge laughed at the picture sho conjured up, and Amy, blooming under tho knowledge that she wu pleasing her audience, turned towards him confl dentlally as she continued: "It's a good thing, your honor, that they don't leavo any cold poison lylnt; around In rube hotels, because the first customer I got was David Pollock! I did slick my finger In the oatmeal I was taking him and say. T hope you choke three times, but It didn't work." Again her bubbling laugh rippled out, followed by a guffaw of delight from the listeners, but as If It were a signal. the prosecutor leaped to his feet. "Your Honor," he stormed, "1 object to tho testimony of this witness being admitted as evidence! Is this a court room or a burlesque show? And Is my learned opponent revealing to us the civ life of MIhs Barton or evidence dealing with tho murder of David Pol lock?" "May It please the court," retorted Langdon. "the events which took place In Prlndlevllle had a very definite ef fect upon the relations between David Pollock and the defendant. I crave the patience of your honor and the gentle men of, the Jury with the witness who la er not exactly conversant with the legal brevity demanded by law." "I think," said his honor, the ghost of a smile still twitching at his Hps, "that the witness may go on with her story. But," he added, lean ng forward with an admonishing gesture towards Amy, "you must remember, M las Bar ton, that you are here not to amuse us; but to answer as briefly as possible the questions put to you by counsel for the defense." "I'm sorry, your honor," she aald penitently, "but It was fun up there for a while." I don't doubt It," said the Judge, smiling. Then, as If recollecting where he wss, he cleared his throat loudly and sat back with a stern frown as Langdon said : "How long did you remain at the hotel In Prlndlevllle as a. waitress?" About three weeks." ' "Did Mr. Follock remain there during that time?" . . ; "Yes." Did he speak to yau at any timer Well, he had to speak to ma. but he limited It to 'Two boiled eggs and dry toast, or gimme roast chicken and mashed potatoes,' but with Mary It was different. He didn't speak to her. but he never let her get out of his sight." Jing he said we d better all walked right up to the proprietor and said. 'Look here you've been pretty white to ua.

The old guy got red as thunder, and his wife veered like a weather-cork, and hollers out. 'Tow can't leave like that, there's three drummer eomln" this afternoon, snd tomorrow's market dny.

At thst the proprietor started to aay something on his own ac count, but seeing Mr. Pollock was lUtea- go Into the of Morgenthau May Quit Turkish Post WASHINGTON, March . Adlmlnlstrs tlon officials were concerned tonight over reports that Henry Morgenthau, Ameri can ambsssador to Turkey, might resign. It was understood some of the ambassa dor's friends were urging him to remain in this country to assist In the next presi dential campaign. He now Is at home in New York on leave. Tho president la said to consider Mr. Morgenthau has made one of the best rec ords of any American diplomat abroad. Ira Nelson Morris, now American minis ter to Sweden, was being mentioned to Tht as a possible successor to him, should he deride to give up the poet.

Pecauso of the behavior of some the men who came to the pla.-a.- What do jrou mean by their behar. lorr Their their freshness," she said. flushing a Uttls "You see, when we first went to work. hey were all very decent, especially to Mary, and everything was fine. Then they they seemed to change even to me. 1 had to give a pretty sharp call-down to two or three of the sort of rubes that wear red ties, and shoes that look as If they had their trunk tucked In the toe, and finally something the land lady said put me wise to the fact that our characters weren't worth a two-cent tamp In Prlndlevllle. I didn't want Mary to know, so I kept quiet till ths day when the guy that always came for lunch got fresh and tried to klsa her." "Will you tell us. briefly as possible. Miss Barton, the events of that day?" "It was a bad day to begin with," said Amy ruefully. "I smaahed some crock ery In the morning and the head waitress had had a quarrel with her heau the night before, and everybody had a beauti ful grouch, and In the midst of H the landlady came out to me, and told me that he'r "regular girls' were objecting to work with us. because of our bad char acters. Of course It made me pretty sore, and I was Just going to say a few things about the bunch of bisrult-sllngers they had around, when the door Of the dining room banged open and Mary, taking her apron off as she went, ran past us and up the stairs. The landlady railed her. hut she never even looked around, so I started after her. ' Just ss I did so a cheap, flashy guy who was a regular boarder came out of tho dining room, looking sheepish and with one cheek bright red and the other very pale. I've seen a good smack make that kind of complexion before, so I kind of waited around to see what he would do." "Did he leave the hotel V "No. . He walked out Into the office and across to where Dave Pollock was sitting and flung himself Into a chair beside him. At that I sort of got behind soma cur tains and waited to hear what he said, hut I needn't have bothered about hiding, for he yelped loud enough to be heard all the way to the kitchen. " "Tan you tell ua what he said?" "Yes. He ripped out a good round damn or two; then he said, "Pay, look here, from what you told me, that Mary Page is no better than she should be, but rrickey, she swung a right onto my Jaw that Jarred my brains In there. Just be cause I tried to give her a kiss." "Did Mr, . Pollock reply V "No. First he looked as If he was going to hand the chump one himself, then he laughed as If he was satisfied with some thing, and I ran up stains to Mary. She was crying, and packing her grip, and when I asked her what the row was about, she said that she was going to leave right then and there. She said that for the, last two or three days she had noticed a decided difference in tbe atti tude of the men toward her, and that at noon one of them bad insulted her and she had slapped hi face. The worst of It was, she said, the man aald that he had been told that she wasn't so particu lar with others, and was notorious where she came from. Then I told her what the landlady had said to me, but said that I was pretty well wised up aa to who was spreading the slander, and I thought it was time we blew the old burg any how." "Did the hotel proprietor make any ob jections to your going?" "Well, yea and no I haven't come to that yet. When we went downstairs with out suitcases In our hands tha proprietor's wife was giving him an earful of what she had heard about us, of how bad ra were and all the rest, and Mr. Pollock, was sitting there taking It all In, but pretending to read. He Jumped up when we came In sight, however, and started to speak, but we pushed by him and I you re-I dining room to settle It; but Mr. Pollock weeks. J followed ua In, and ssld that as he was a friend of ours, he would like to hesr what the trouble waa In case he could be of any assistance." Did he seem to have any Inkling na to what that trouble was?" (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) ELLA E. AYERS NAMED FOR POSTMISTRESS WASHINGTON. March 1-tSpeclal Telegram.)
