It w asn't like Joan to rusb In like that, without even a word of greeting. And at Christmas time, too! - She laid iier darning aside and with felow, careful steps climbed the stairs. At Joan's door she paused and knocked. " "Who Is itr "Just Granny, daar. May I come In?" "Why, of course." Joan opened the door. "What's the matter. Granny?" "That's Just what I want to know. Tou and Ted had a fuss?" Joan looked up in wonder at her grandmother's understanding. "Yes," she admitted, "and, oh, Granny, I'm so miserable! What do you suppose he saW?" "Now, now," I don't want to hear, ntfd you shouldn't be bringing back all that was said, looking for grievances. All 1 want to know is who, really and truly, was in the wrong ' "Really and truly, he was. Granny/' "Then you should apologize." "I? But Ted was the one at fault." "Ol course, dear. That is Just the reason. Now, if you were In the wrong, you might possibly force him to humor you, but if he is in the wrong he will naturally never want to give In." She took off hei glasses and wiped them thoughtfully. "And then--how lucky It's Christmas time ---hang up some mistletoe." "Well--maybe. If you're sure it will Jwork." "Let me Ml you a story, child. Sit down." Granny settled herself and rocked lightly back and forth. "It was when I was young--young as you are, Joan--that I fell in love. My people were not so well off as the boy's were, although they were gentlemen on both sides. His parents bad picked out a wife for him, years before--the daughter of friends of the family-- and were determined that they should marry. . "I met him at church socials every now and then, and on picnics, and after a time he began calling on me. Although I didn't know it, whenever he came to see me, he told his folks he was going to see this other girt "Whoa I found that out, I waa mad, and rightly, too. That -night when he came I wouldn't see him* and sent word to him that he coul4 go to her house for all of me. "To my amazement, he did! Then t realized how much I loved him, but I was afraid he would never come back. At last I decided to send htm a note. I told him how sorry I was, and begged his forgiveness. It was quit* bit aftef Christmas, but we still had mistletoe, so I hung sprays of it in every likely corner and doorway all over the house, and waited. "Before long he came, and I found that the mistletoe had been an inspiration. He told me then that £ wasn't to blame at all, „ and that ha had only gone to Clara's to tell" hqr that there could never be anything between them." Granny leaned forward in her chair. "Do you know who the boy wast" she asked. "Grandfather?", , 'Tes, indeed. W* w«re marrlsd soon after that, hut I always ; It paid to give in when I was most sure I was right."

"It Was When I Was Young--Young as You Ara, Joan." as she wait, ran down to open the door. Granny, from the front window, looked down on a familiar roadster and smiled. After a long time, hearing the front door close and the roar of a motor, she descended the stairs. At their foot Joan clasped her. "Oh, darling, it worked, It worked," she chanted. "He's coming over to dinner tomorrow, and he--he mentioned something about bringing a ring. And, oh, Granny," she whispered, burying her head in her grandmother's shawl, "Ted must have had the Christmas spirit already, for we got along just fine without the mlaUetoe." (A. 19M.

It will be only a matter of two or three years until Russia, which is now exporting goods her own people should consume, because her obligations demand it, will dominate the world export situation in cereal#. With cheap land and cheaper labor, Russia will soon be producing grain on a with which I hope the American farmer will never have to compete. * Permanent success for southern cotton growers is largelj a nutlet of improvement in the species cultivated. We hare as much and as good cotton land as any country in the world and we will always be able to cotopcte in the world's markets. ^ I predict that the size of farms will increase. Tbe minimum kiae of a corn-producing farm in Iowa will be not less than 400 acres and in Minnesota a wheat farm smaller than 800 acres will fail to claim a profit. 4* - - 'Qnrtt h TiaapiMM ping^ of crystal quarts not much larger than finger rings form the hearts of the most accurate _£grtable timekeepers yet dfrised.
