A surprise attack ton the Irish, neaaqaarter restilted mine death of Sean O'Brien and two ,af Riordan't most valued men, but Ilior- dan himself eluded them. That night a British transport brought Lord Athleigh, as emissary of the Govern ment, hie daughter, Lady, Helen Drummond, and his aide, Gerald Preston, Chapter 2 Lord Athleigh was seriously dis turbed about the state of affairs in Ireland. On his return to England he would have to submit a report to the Government and that report must explain why Sir John Alroyd's meas ures to curb the insurgents were in- effective. Riordan's spies were every where; they burned barracks, blew up trains, destroyed complete shipments of munitions. And as yet the Intelli gence Service had no idea what he looked like. Meanwhile civilian dam age claims mounted appallingly. On the morning after their arrival Helen wheedled Colonel Loder into permitting her to go shopping alone in Dublin. Gerald was worried. "Colonel Loder t Mowed!" ha ex ploded. "He's not well, he's not in love with you." He grinned at her sheepishly, as if ho had said more thnn he intended. Helen placed- her hand gently on his arm. "I wish you weren't, Ger ald." "Well, don't let it bother you," Gerald said flippantly. "It's been go ing on with me for a long while. Rather like a toothache, I imagine!" Helen set out jauntily in the mili tary limousine driven by the very Jrc (i "4m ' i""- - - few. x . I ? If "."'-- "Don't let it bother you," (jlerald said flippantly.

"Calm yourself, JLady Helen!" And wryly he added, "I imagine that's the first time in history that the Irish had to ask the1 English to calm down!" Hawkins, the chauffeur, came to the door to inform Lady Helen that his tires had- been tampered with and .he must hurry to the garage for re pairs. A small curious crowd had fathered about the Car. Dennis bor rowed Cathleen's bicycle and set out wita Helen to show her the road back to the Lodge. Helen had never ridden a bicycle nefore and she had some difficulty .controlling it It was not until an hour later that she realised something was mong. They were on a country road. .Seeing her perplexity, Dennis explained:'. v , "From Oathleen v O'Brien's house there -wert two roads to the Lodge. The -first 'Would hare meant cycling through ity streets, and with your kind of ycunc you d have been killed for ...certain by an 'Irish lamp-post. 'And this is far the most pleasant road J? - Helea frowned. She nreserved a fnriotos and dignified silence as she nushed her bicycle up a hill. For some minutes neither of them spoke. "If yon don't speak to me soon, Lady Helen, Til be thinking you're guilty yourself of being 'blind to ev erything except hatred'!'' laughed Dennis. The view from the hilltop, 'when they reached it, was everything that Delink had promised. The valley. verdant and peaceful, lay stretched before them. The tranquillity of the scene enveloped Helen and her anger suosidcd. Dennis recited - two lines of poetry in Gaelic and translated them for her. "And music, an enormous rumor, Spreads across my weary Ireland." Helen inquired what they meant, but Dennis only shook his head and smiled. - . v ,t -' '; "What do you do besides going to medical school and Writing poetry that yon don't understand?" she ask ed him teasingly.

Both Mrs. Newby and Mrs. Morgan are expected home in the .spring. $195,195,000 PaidTo i Cottonseed Growers Cottonseed, once a -waste product, brought Southern farmers $195,195,- 000 in 1936 as a result of the best prices since 1927-28, according to of ficial Department of Agriculture esti mates, just released, Southern cotton growers received $47,712,00 more .for their J936 cot tonseed production ithan for their 1935 crop, an analysis of the Depart ment's figures made by A. L. Ward, Educational Service Director of the National Cottonseed Products Asso ciation, shows. Farmers' income from cottonseed increased S2.a pel- cent in 1936 over the 1935 total of $147,48S,0P0. Best Price Since 1927 - In spite of a larger crop than in 1935, cotton oil mills paid Southern growers a higher average price for their cottonseed than at any time since the 1927-28 season, Ward point ed out. The average price of cottonseed in the United States during the 1936 marketing. period was $35.41 per ton, the Department of Agriculture esti mated. This compares with $31.19, the average for the 1935 crop, and is the highest average since that of $35.94 paid during the 1927-28 sea son. Cotton oil mills paid growers a price in 1936 that was higher even than the averoge for 192829, at the peak of the prosperity period. The 1936 average of $35.41 compares with the average of $35.26 for the 1928-29 seasons. - j Cottonseed prices in 1936, as com-1 pared with 1935 considerably great er percentage increase than the price if lint cotton. The percentage rise over 1935 for lint cotton was 10.9 per cent, while the average price of cottonseed rose 13.5 per cent. Total Crop Larger Production of cottonseed in 1936 amounted to 5,513,000 tons compared with 4,729,000 tons in 1935, the De partment reported. A major factor in the greater re turn received; by Southern growers for their cottonseed has been the higher value of cottonseed oil, Ward pointed out. .Cottonseed oil, widely used in vegetable shortening, mar garine, salad oils and other products, usually constitutes more than half of the total value of the seed. "Even greater revenues from their cottonseed maybe expected by South-' ern farmers, If they, with the aid of other American fata and oils produc ers, can secure the removal of pre sent restrictions against the sale of margarine, a food containing cotton seed oil and other American pro ducts," Ward said. "Taxes and license fees, . both Federal and In many States, unfairly restrict domestic margarine sales and the market for Southern cottonseed aJL beef: fata, soybean and peanut oila, and simi lar products."

Bran non, who nas resignea as extension entomologist at State College to be come entomologist for the State De partment 'of Agriculture ; on January 15- - ' C- In January, for instances, there are a number of things good farmers should do to help keep insects under control. ' Tobacco plant beds , should be cov ered With a good grade of canvas having at least 26 strands to the inch. This helps .-protect the young plants from insects and. had weather too. Keep a close check on the tobacco beds for the small worms- which often damage the . plants seriously during warm dry periods when they are just coming up, When worms are found, apply nap- thalene flakes at the rate of one and a half pounds to each 100 square yards of plant bed. Orchardmen should apply the dor mant spray for scale control. Oil makes the best spray for this pur pose. Insect pests in- stored seed can be' eradicated by placing the seed in a barrel or other , air-tight container and giving it a dose of carbon bisul phide. Or' the chemical may be plac ed in the seed bins, if the bins are almosf air-tight. Sacks should be 1 pladed over the seed in the bin to hold the gas in. Meat can be protected from skip pers by wrapping in heavy paper and placing it in thin cloth sacks that can tie tied sepurely, or by screening the storage room. ... . Poisoned wheat bait, placed in tin cans at the foot of fruit trees will control field mice in the orchards. Place a teaspoonful bait in a can, with the lid bent out enough to let the mice in,, -but not enough to let rain or birds get inside. ' Specialists Advise v Scientific Methods Another year with its uncertain welter of fortune or misfortune has been ushered in for North Carolina farmers. ; ' . The New Year is a good time to begin applying" more scientific prac tices to farms, say specialists at State College. The. use of the latest approved practices will result in bet ter yields in the case of crops and in better animals and birds , in the case of livestock and poultry. Practically every subject pertain ing to the farm and to the home will be given a thorough discussion on the Carolina Farm Features program daring the next few weeks. In these talks specialists will - point ont the proper ways of starting in 1937 on the right foot The animal husbandry program is presented each Monday and contains news and information for livestock growers. ' Each Friday' is set aside for the poultry department to give advice, to those who raise birds.

About The Railroads Twenty-five railroads have repaid in full loans made to themlby the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The total property investment1 as at ' IWrnnW 91. 1 935 at ClsJM J railroads ' in the United States was $25,714,360,000. ? - A passenger locomotive uses' from 70 to 120 gallons and a freight loco motive from 150 to 350 gallons of water per mile. s .. Due to chemical treatment of wa ter, many railroads now operate loco motives from 2,000 to 6,000 miles and in some cases as high as 10,000 miles before it is necessary to wash out the boilers, whereas some years ago it was the practice to do so after a run of frqm 200 to 800 miles. An unique service maintained ty the Railway Express Agency is that of moving approximately four mil lion pounds of live fish annually from middle Western points to -New -York and Philadelphia where they are Used as food.
