YOU NEVER KNOW 86 By AMY CAMPBELL Q. UcClure Newspaper 8yndlc*te. WNU 8?rvlc?. LOIS moving In and out amon? the homegolng crowds was sud denly filled with expectancy. It was not quite sensible to be ? so stirred by the mental relterance of a certain phrase. Not a spoken one caught In the con versations of the street. Not one from business slogans traced In electric signs. Merely a small group of words that Just flashed across her ordinary think ing. Oddly and like a flash, something within her was saying right in the middle of her arithmetic? "Just as she turned the corner?' " As she walked cautiously through the wet streets, trying to avoid spattering her stockings, (his new phrase kept coming between everything she was thinking .until, with a certain quality of Impatience, she paused mentally to charge back at the inner voice ? "And what happened If she did turn the corner?" Her mind was an instant blank. This annoyed her Into further chal lenging? "Who turned the corner, and what for ? and all the rest ? go on ? on ? " But there was -lemiugly a helpless ness within her for further suggested adventure. Her feet growing hot and tired In rubbers, she stopped to have coffee at a small shop. She opened her eve ning newspaper and at once In the daily verse, there leaped to greet her eyes : -IOU never Know what's waiting Just around the bend ? You'll maybe find a dollar or a brand new friend." Lola knew that the little lost phrasa had signlilcance and solution. Just aa you turned the corner you found something. She almost sparkled as she stepped again into the night Rain still came in steady showers but she was not hungry or tired now so why go home? She turned to the nearest talkie, and did not realize that she was really turning .a corner. Her parasol tangled Instantly with another and when she peered under and around to see what she was doing, there was Jerry Karn from whom she took dictation every day of her life. He was getting ready a courtly apol ogy, having seen only the really lovely, tapering feet and slender ankles that belonged to Lois. At that* moment the phrase returned to her mind, fairly singing to her? "Just as she turned the corner ? " It persisted with lifting Inflection, giving her honest eyes, peering be neath her green parasol under the rim of her small green hat, a charming and waiting excitement Jerry's words were heady wlt^i ad venture ? "Well, of all luck." Lois smiled bewilderlngly. It was all too wonderful. Jerry, with eyes that had never par ticularly lighted for her, smiling as if they had a date and had met a little sooner to his big delight. "Going somewhere?" he asked fool ishly. "No place in particular. Just thought' I might get out of the rain in the Palace." "Come on," he said, taking charge of her. Desperately, proud of his tall Tight ness, of herself, she waited to be claimed after he bought the tickets. He huddled low in the seat to look directly into her eyes, hunching one shoulder lower for the smallness of her, saying: "Do you know, I've always wanted to talk to you." She listened to the Inner voice? prod ding to breathlessness ? and believed him Well, this was what happened when *t last the phrase was complete ? just you turned the corner you found yourself running Into Jerry this gor geous way and his eyes fairly asking where'd you keep yourself up till now. No other man In the world could teach any gtrj how to talk to Jerry. Lois could only smile, thinking many things back of her answering eyes ? saying Oh yes ? and I know ? and? did you really? And they whispered because the ushers were vigilant for silence. Afterwftrd she recaptured every thing he had said, counting the words Hke jewels, touching them with trem ulous dissection ? "Never noticed yon'd play before. Saw you working as if you were a machine. Am I keeping you from "watching the picture?" a steady wonder of words from Jerry who until tonight had only uttered little courtesies and business phrases. As they went out he hummed the theme-song, guiding her back towards rh? Busy streets, and just in a moment, they turned the corner around which they bad met She felt a sudden vigor In Jerry's arm, as his hand tightened around hers to halt them both. "Well, of all the luck," he was say ing to a couple of girls. Margaret and Phyllis be called them. Very great friends apparently. He Introduced Lois and the girls looked her over ominously. She felt them holding her guilty of something and then Jerry was bailing * taxi. "Well just drive Lois home," be was (aylng And all the way home the two girls talked to him and Jerry talked back to them and Lois listened only vaguely because now she was lost again aud shy. "Oh, here we are so soon!" Jerry announced as the car stopped and he slipped out to take Lois to her door. "Some other night, Lois," he mur mured carelessly and disappeared so quickly she stood on the step a mo ment wondering, under her flat green parasol If he had only been part of a dream. The next day Jerry was late at the office and Lois did not look up as he passed her desk. His buzzer sounded and she stole In to take his dictation with a sense of dread. Of course he would read In her eyes that she had thought about things Into the night ? remembering him? counting his words like Jewels? wishing they had not gone back around the corner and met the others. Oh, wanting him desperately to tan gle his umbrella with her purosal be fore ever It rained again. "Good morning," he said abstracted ly, not looking up. "I'm late. We'll have to work fast* She settled hefself for rapid copy ing. Her small hand flew In cool accuracy while the other hand held her place and turned pages like a swift pur poseful wind. She masked herself with efficiency. When he had finished she sighed, a little out of breath physically and mentally. ? He reached over and caught her Angers ? pencil and all. "Lois, did I go too fast?" She studied him coolly, needing her hand Instantly to guther up*her pen cils. He did not smile as a certain re proach crept Into his voice. "Well, take your time getting the stuff out," and his tones dismissed ber. The Inner voice was speaking, "Just as she turned the corner ? Jerry ? " |t stated adventurously^ ? She stopped typing and impercept ibly stamped both -her small feet Tears were blurring her notes. Of course last night to him was Just au incident he had forgotten. Just before closing time Jerry sig naled for her. "Lois," he said, "What are you doing tonight? Can we go somewhere ? din ner and anything we like afterward?" She smiled with a brilliance she hoped was convincing. "Aren't you nice? But the week's all dated." "All of It?" "Yes-s." "Well, Sunday ? " he persisted. "Out of town for the week-end ? " "Monday following ? " "That's taken ? " "Tuesday?" "Crossed out, too ? " "Wednesday V "That's promised ? V she faltered. "Thursday?" "Well, Thursday I have a permanent date I can't break." "Friday?" Lois was blinking with steady monotony to evade tears. Jerry being persistent like this. Even If he didn't mean It. Even If he'd drop her around the first corner for someone more In teresting. "Friday Is for my very best friend." "I thought so ? " he answered dully. "I wanted my sisters to meet you again soon. They could only half see you last night. But that's my luck." "Your sisters?" "They'd love you, Lois. Anyone i would," he continued, glaring at his desk. "Seeing you In your little green outfit, looking up from under thac mushroom parasol with big, gorgeous eyes ? " "Just as she turned the corner ? " she thought rapturously and completed aloud. "Jerry !" "Who's the man, Lois ? tell ?e ? Tell me!" Each demand beating upon her was beautiful. She smiled wisely, Im aginatively now. as If peering cautious ly from beneath a mushroom parasol? "Just try and find ontl" Five Shillings a* Rent for Australia's Big Farm Tor five shillings a week rent and a lump payment of about $620 improve ments, the Australian government baa leased Its "costliest failure," otherwise Its SI 50.000 demonstration farm at Batchelor. The sale comprises 2,553 acres of land at the farm, all the buildings and the leasehold of forty eight square miles of territory adjoin- ' (ng. The farm was established In 1912 and was a complete failure In most re spects. Costly pedigreed stock was killed by pests or bogged In the wet season ; the sheep were killed by grass seeds, and dairy cattle died of heat or were eaten by crocodiles. White ants ate the stables, machinery sheds and barns and the soil proved a disappoint ment. Pineapples, corn and tropical fruit flourished with Irrigation. The purchaser will use the farm to pasture his horses In the wet season. U. 5. Embimei There are 16 countries that bare .??/? Qtatps pmbassies. They are Ar France Germany. Great Britain.

Fur, Flowers and Velvet for Winter By CIIERIE NICHOLAS TAKE velvet for the coat, top It with one of the swanky fur capes such as every woman listed In the blue book of fashion Is wearing this winter, give it a glamorous touch via a cluster of hot-house orcbldr ? for the answer see the costume centered In the group of high-style costumes here pictured. Which goes to show that fashion Is Indulging In habiliment of the most luxurious type this season. Who said "depression"? Well, any way. sumptuous furs and magnificent c< ata (rich cloaking velvet a favorite) with boutonnlere or corsage of exotic flowers (preferably orchids) Is the new deal which fashion's folio vert are having dealt to tbem. By tbe way this vogue for flower adornment Is Increasingly apparent For tailored daytime clothes, one lady slipper orchid In -l gold and silver tube pin on tbe lapel of one's coat (see tbumb-nall sketch In the left low er corner) Is In excellent form. Jewels snd orchids form a regal alliance for evening. With the new low-front neck lines It Is smart to wear a necklace, with orchids In the center Instead of on the shoulder, as sketched In the right band corner below. Recently at a debutante party a dress of white blilowy tulle with nosegays of wax white camellas snuggled here and there was the loveliest sight evening lights ere shone upon. Tbe flower vogue also extends to dinner gowns, the Oowers In this Instance are nsnal ly hand made to match or contrast the color of the velvet or other material which fashions the dress. , Returning to a style analysis of the handsome models In the pIctur^Ht Is plain to be seen. Judging from the per fectly stunning outfit shofen to the right, that fashion has recognized Rus sia In no uncertain manner. Cossack turban, high collar, belted waistline, deep culTs and an abundance of for, each speaks eloquently In terms a la Russe. It Is a stunning ensemble. To onr way of thinking you couldn't And SHINING BLOUSE By CHKR1B NICHOLAS For reauumm ur Ujeater wear, this shining lame blouae in pale cold with a dropped ahoulder treatment la IdeaL The full aleeve* are styled according to the la teat. The tie-collar la new, too, and rerjr flattering. It la worn with a floor-length aklrt of black crepe. For evening with glittering blouae or tunic floor length, the slightly trailing black crepe aklrta art latest. anything smarter in the way of ? win ter outfit The fur U nutria, which la of outstanding favor this season. The cloth, which combine* with the fur. la a diagonal ribbed beige wool. This model would be ve?7 effective In black suede cloth made np with seal or black caracal, or In gray or brown dyed kldakln with a color-matched vel vety wool weave. The black aeal bolero to the left might easily be taken for one of the new separate fur pieces which are ao smartly In fashion thla winter. In reality It la made as an actual part of the coat The fur merely topa the cloth sleeves. It would, however, be a most practical Idea and thoroughly In keeping with present style trends If this bolero bad been one of the detach able sort. This Idea of separate fur capes and stole collars and gllets which look al most like sleeveless Jackets with their two long stole ends belted In at the waistline, has much to commend It. With sccessory fur novelties Including perhaps a high-turban hat and a muff bag to match, any cloth suit or coat takes on sn air of distinction. Many women of a practical turn of mind are taking advantage of thla new vogus in that they are having their out-of -style fur coats of past seasons remodeled Into stylish boleros or capes or gllets which Impart any amount of chic to their appearance without an extrava gant outlay of money. However, un less the fur you have Is of real value, it Is almost as thrifty to Invest In ready-mades, for the shops and de partments are showing Intriguing for pieces of vogulsh peltry which are not at all beyond the average budget. The vogue for big flat fur pockets on jloth coats is slso worthy of note. Just to give their cloth costs a "new" look quite a few women are or dering their fur cuffs msde Into huge pockets which sre ornamental aa well aa useful. , e. WtKm N?w*p*p?r Uolom. FINE FURS USED AS LINING FOR COATS 8ome of the finest fart this winter have taken to cover. Time waa when tbe cheapest, -ugliest fan were under neath cloth coata for linings. It made them cost less, of coarse, even though we were a bit ashamed to let tbe hems flap out so that the lining could be Men. All that Is past now and we are pfoud now If the fur lining of a coat displays Itself to the most critical gaze. Instead of rabbit under a nice broadcloth coat, there I* real ermine, mink, even sable. Some of theae fur lined coats are reversible. Practically all lavish fur collars are detachable. Tbla permits a change of effect that seems to meet with tbe ap proval of smart society, aa well as of the thrifty minded. Evening Gown Hu Pocket* Like Miniature Panniers Tbe evening gown with pockets! It waa Mme. Elsa Schlaparelli who first concocted this Idea. Now. however. Mme. Ueorcette Renal has elaborated on the pocket situation for evening and produced a moat remarkable and practical result. Hie Renal evening pocket la a de light to tbe woman's heart who always Is wishing she had her hands free to wrap her c?at closely about her with out having to clutch a handbag. Tbe evening pocket also roots the night mare of a purse clattering to the floor amid a shower of lipstick. powder and small change. Renal pockets are stitched and cut so they stand oat like miniature pan hIpml Uncommon Sense 1 John Blake ft B.I1 BridlttW,? WNO l?nrtci. My work-room dictionary contains two definitions of prosperity. One Is: "The state of being What Ii prosperous ; good for Prosperity? tune ln 10 * business or enterprise." The other Is: "Success ln respect to any thing good or desirable." Of the two, 1 like the second better. I have known many men who were said to be prosperous. They had abun dance of money, good health, ahd nev er failed of friends to swarm around them and fatten on their bounty. But "ln respect to anything good or desirable," with all their money, they were bankrupts. It seems to me that a man with a clear conscience, enough money to lire on. and with friends who are his friends because they like him, and not because of what he can do for them. Is the truly prosperous man. In recent times a (rest many people who believed they were prosperous have fallen on what they called evil days. {. Their money- has dwindled, their health has been Impaired by worry over their changed estate, and they feel that they are ruined men. Naturally, the kind of friends that they have acquired In the days of good fortune, have not remained their friends. ? ?????? Rats are no keener to leave a sinking ship than are human parasites to leave peojle who can do longer entertain them or get them good Jobs, or come around to borrow a few hundred dol lars when the wolf Is hard on their heels. Lucky is the man who has no friends of thst sort but whose friends are of the kind who do not base their affec tion on favors to come, but upon a gen uine liking. Among my acquaintances ts a man who three yean a to 11 Ted in a rut house, owned three or foar cars, west to Europe every year, and belonged to hair a dozen golf dabs, A tarn In affairs swept an these away. Not long ago I visited him In a small house which be had rented. Hi? wife and bis children were with him. There was enough in the boose to provide them with food. Bat all the old glaaa oroos days were gone. let he was serene and smiling. "I have learned a great deal." be said. "I know now who are my friends, and who were merely parasites. "I expect mm I# Ut? e job wAa dk miO support m. My a ci/e tmd duUrtm are her*. WhM mum, comU I nur He really meant what he said. He Is still ander fifty, and with kis brains and energy may make another fortune; In the meantime be Is not worried. And if yon would soggest to him that the old prosperous days will come back be wonld smile and say : "They never left me." c.

Good Seed Curing Means Good Crops Proper Care Is Important During Winter; Will Increase Income. Bt L R Reed. Agricultural Engineer. University sf Pi;-~- ? WKU Serrice.

This Is revealed In eight years of records kept by farmer* enrolled In the farm management senrlce conduct ed by the College of Agriculture, Uni versity of Illinois, In co-operation with county farm bureaus. In these rec ords, Involving the growing of spproxl mately 70,000 acres of corn, the differ ence between good and poor seed corn curing and storage amoonted to 2-3 busheis an acre In the resulting crop. Even average coring and storing con ditions cut the resulting crop two bosh els an acre below what It was from good coring and storage of the seed. Two bosh els an aere on the nenp annual Illinois crop of nine miLlon seres, with corn worth 00 cents a bosh el, woold amount to more than $10,000, 000 In corn returns. By good coring and storage Is win: that the seed corn la dried rapidly and protected from freezing until the ?* cess moisture has been removed. These conditions an not met where the corn Is hong on the back porch or In the driveway at rhe eornerlb as la practiced on many farma. Rapid drying at seed enra nwpiires the use o t some artificial heat, unless the weather Is unusually favorable. For small quantifies, the ears on be hong la the kitchen. ?r in an upstairs room around the chimney, or over an open hot air register.
