A month‘s treat- ment for R.R. No. 2 $1.00 Consultations continue regarding the feed situation in the west, and the ranchers begin to grow restive. There are numerous and somewhat involved negotiations to complete be- fore Ottawa will be ready to disclose its policy in full. Meantime some 'of the ranchers don’t know whether to sacrifice their stock now for what 'they can get, or hang in' confident that the government will come to the rescue in adequate fashion. But the most part of the 100 mill- ions still on hand must be what was bought from the western farmer on a basis of 871/2 cents a bushel dur- ing the last year. It was understood at the time that this was an interim payment, and that if the board made any surplus, it should be distributed pro rata among the farmers who de- livered to the board. Of course there are storage and financing charges on this Wheat to deduct, but.it would not take much further advance in wheat prices to yield a tidy sum to be distributed among the farmers who sold wheat last year â€" many of whom had' no crop this year and nvill be grateful for a small extra payment on last year’s wheat. (Gain In Reyenues) Another more optimistic feature in the news is the substantial gain in federal revenues and the slight deâ€" crease in expenditures. The improve» ment in four months is in the neignâ€" l borhood of 25 million dollars. Thr employment figures are also a little better, after some months when, al- lowing for seasonal changes, they made practically no headway. The figures showingpersons on relief, a- side from droughtâ€"stricken areas of the west, where there will be some increases, are expected to show marked reduction during this sum- mer, as compared with a year ago. Business in general is more buoy ant, and) would have been much more so had it not been for the harvest collapse in western Canada, and th. drought in Ontario, which did‘ seri ous damage. On the long view th: light wheat harvest may prove ti have been a good thing, but it is ‘small consolation for the destitute farmers. Evem if this year’s western wheat crop is only 215 or 225 millions, plus an eastern crop of 15 millions, it is obvious that at prices now current the total value would be somewhat greater than it was 'in' 1932. Indeed, the prospects are now that it will be the most valuable crop since 1.930. (Stocks on Hand More Valuable) There is another aspect of the sharp advance in wheat prices “hich should not 'be missed. The wheat board has. been selling wheat at those prices of a dollar and over; also, it still had, at the end} of the crop year (July 31) over a hundred million bushels of wheat to sell. Part of this wheat was, perhaps, carryover from previous years and may by now be standing in the books at a dollar or cver. On this there may not be much profit, but at any rate there does not appear to be much likeli- l‘oo-i of further loss. Even with an appallingly low yield of wheat 'in the main western areas it is quite conceivable that the total purchasing power of wheat farmers this year will “be the best for sev- eral years. It may 'be recalled that the harvest of 1933 'Was the third largest in the history of the coun- try, but the average value at the farm was only 35‘ cents a bushel, and the estimate of fhe value of that wheat mp 'by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics was only $154,700,000. (Increase Bufing Power) Rising agricultural prices will not, of ‘course, "hélp the farmer whose harvest was wiped out by drought or other cause. Nor will they asâ€" sist, diredt'ly, the ‘worker in other occupations. But inasmuch as they "Increase the buying power of the Canadian farm they "will soon be re- flected 'in greater activity in factor- ies, and stores.

That m solution to your problem.” “Speaking of the gardens, there’s 1 rare blossom from the Mitchell 'amily tree, supposed to have come ver in the Mayflower.” “Well, much has been blamed on he poor Mayflower.” “Never let Arthur’s Aunt Agatha hear you say that. She wears the family tree in her hat. Until Arthur took me to see her, I thought Knick- erbockers were just â€" pants. She used to keep house for Arthur’s father, but when he married1 she Couldn’t get along with the bride.” “Why don’t you get her to come They went down the wide stair- way. Albove the landing 9. Mitchell ancestor frowned upon them; his large nose glistened red‘ly in the sunlight coming through a stained- zlass window. Anne called Juliet's attention to him with a wave of the hand. “Let’s pretend! I’ve just come and you’re showing me the garden. I’d really love to see it just once with- out falling over a gardener pulling weeds.” “This is the first time you‘ve seemed real to me since I’ve been here. Let’s just stay home and talk all day. We could get our own lunch. It wouldn’t be the first time." “Shâ€"h-h! Do you mean it?” An hour later standing at an up- per window, they watched the ser- vants drive away with smiling faces and well filled hampers. Anne threw her arms above her head. “Hooray. Now we can do anything we please. What’ll it be?” “You know, even that would be a relief. We live such a well ordered life that we never even argue. Ar- thur would bite off his tongue be~ fore he would say anything that might be repeated in the kitchen. If he just wasn’t quite so â€" per- feet.” “Don’t be a goose!” Anne lookéd thoughtfule at her plate for a min- ute. ~- “Whoops, we‘re off! Here’s where we start fighting the Civil War a- gain.” ' ‘ “I’m beginning to wonder wheth- er it’s worth it or not. I’d ask for a housekeeper, but his mother al- ways rah things so beautifully and I hate to admit tht a Kentucky thor- oughbred can’t keep the pace made by a damyankee.” Juliet laughed. “Of course you’re fooling, but wait until I go back and tell them that Anne who was never known to get to a party on time, has to live by the clock. I guess it’s worth it to be married to a man like Arthur, and have a home like this, butâ€"” “Always”? It seems to me every- thing you vflyo here is done by sche- dule.” “Exagtly. I can tell you just what will be going on in' this house every minute of ’the day. Even I have duties that must be attended to at the proper time. Sometimes I want to chuck it all and go back home.” “Poor Arthur. I must be a ter- rible disappointment to him. I can’t make his home run. as smoothly as his mother did. I forget, importan'; items like .the servant’s annual pic- nic up the river to Bear Mountain. They decided to have it today beâ€" cause I aIways go to New York to have my hair fixed: on Wednesdays.

Then, as if in explanation, 'he went on confusedly. “Some one “would; 'have to stay and fix your 'Iunc'h. Today is the day for the picnic, isn’t it?” “Yes, of course. I’d forgotten it.” “Forgotten?

THE MIMERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO That might be picnic." For an instant Anne had been~ tempted to say that she had discharged them all and was doing her own work. It was quite plain that Aunt Agatha had come here “For once I’m going to have all I want. Every time Stimpson passes lthe salad, I wish I could grab the bowl and run away with it. Oh, Ilook! Onions! Do you remember the sandwiches we used to make?” “Do 1? Where’s the mayonnaise?” Juliet opened the doors of a large refrigerator that filled one end of the pantry. “Merciful heavens! Are you planning a party or something? Here’s a whole side of roast beef and a flock of fried chickens.” ‘ “Left overs from the picnic, I “Well, I might have knOWn it. From what. Hilda has told me about the way you run this house. I’m not surprised. Where is every one? aren’t you in New York?” “Every one? I suppose you mean the servants. They’re awav on a Juliet commenced to giggle, but the next instant her laughter died with a strangledl gurgle in her throat. The kitchen door had opened and Arthur’s Aunt Agatha was pin- ning them to the wall like insects with a jewelled lorgnette. The ex- pression in her eyes told, even plain- er than words, that nothing like this had ever before happened in the Mit- chell household. “Suits me," Anne perched hersel" on the corner of a table and started peeling tomatoes. “I’m going to have to eat one of these just like this with salt before I do another thing.” ‘ Fifteen minutes later, Anne was sinking her pretty teeth in a tomato and onion sandwich that stretched her mouth to capacity, when they heard a car dtl‘ive up and stop. They looked at each other in panic. 'Be« side Juliet was a pile of chicken 'bones that gave mute testimony of her enjoyment of the feast, while all around Anne the metal-topped table was. gory with tomato juice. “Then let’s not set the table. Let’s eat ‘right here where we can have anything we want. This refrizrel'ato: is a whole cafeteria in itself" “Left overs from guess. Help yourself In the pantry they found a half- bushel basket filled with delicious- looking tomatoes. Anne beamed. “There they are ” Anne made a dash across, the kitchen to a. well filled knife rack she had just spied. “Yes. I seem to remember that you were always the one who used to embroider dish towels and putter about the kitchenâ€"â€"” “Well, I’m not such a bad cook myselfâ€"if I ever had the chance to show him.” “The way to a man’s heart, my dearâ€"” “Why should I? Besides, I’m never allowed in the kitchen. Hilda sees to that. She always comes into the pantry to meet me when she hears me coming. If I do manage to get out here, she stops whatever she is doing until I leave. She's a tyrant, and I don‘t dare cross her, for she’s a family institution. If the others don’t please her I have to fire them 01' she threatens to leave. I don’t know why it is, but even Arthur seems afraid to dis-please Hilda.” “It is a swell place to visit, Anne. The very fact that it is all kept running so smoothly is. what makesi it so enjoyable to others. You just' needs: rest, that‘s all. It was a big } job for a bride to have to jump into an establishment like this, with so' many servants to manage. I don’t see how you do it.” i It was not until they were preâ€" paring lunch that she gave any ex- planation of this last remark. They were hunting a knife to peel toma- toes. “Anne, do you mean to say that you don’t know where things are in this house?” “I haven’t the remotest idea where Hilda keeps them, but I think they ought to be in this table drawer.” "‘1 “know I don’t deserve all this,” Anne looked Wistfully out over the velvety lawn, rolling away in soft green terraces to the river bank. “I so seldom have a chance to enjoy it just like this. But it must be a swell place to visit.” Her laughter was shaky, and: Juliet put her arm swiftly around her. “I don’t. Sometimes I feel as if they were managing me, especially Hilda.” Chuckling, arm in arm,» they went out upon the terrace. The Hudson, shin-mnering in‘the sunlight, seemed flaughing with them. All the world‘ seemed happy- and at peace. “She’d think she was a brand of soda trackers.” “Oh, well, tell the old girl she’s not so much. Your mother was an I suppose you mean They’re away on a n instant Anne had “I wouldn’t have had this happen to you for words, honey, I heard she’d been coming here and I thought to-day would be a good time to make sure and tell her to lay off. She can’t help it, I guess. She’s sort of hipped on this place.” Before the older woman could- speak a door banged somewhere and Arthur came striding into the kit- chen. He looked from one to the other. Then, Without speaking a word, he whisked his aunt and Juliet out of the kitchen and took Anne ‘in his arms. “Well, she can have it, so far as Standing Show 515315011, 081“ horse I’m concerned.
