Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Service Thankful Brown Tells Sallie Her Plan The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock I rang the doorbell of the Brown residence, which was located on a hillside in the oldest part of town. While I waited for it to be answered I looked around. The house gave evidence of a more prosperous past and it was sadly in need of paint. The garden, which stretched on both sides of the old brick "I could hardly wait till morning came so that I could find out what plan Thankful could have had in mind—I hoped it would be something I could do." "I could hardly wait till morning came so that I could find out what plan Thankful could have had in mind—I hoped it would be something I could do." walk, was sypical of Thankful, and I knew she spent many hours there. Violets grew on either side of the path, and one felt instinctively that in the summer hollyhocks and marigolds and larkspur would add their quaint blossoming to the place which was so evidently of other times. The yard was enclosed by a fence, over which honeysuckle and roses would climb in Spring. A pretty young girl of about seventeen opened the door. It was plain to see that she was not at all the old-fashioned type. Her mannerisms were all of the new generation and there was a bit of a frown between her eyes, as if she resented being called from a new novel she held in her hand. Instantly I knew that this was one of Thankful's sisters whom she struggled to shield from all hardships by overtaxing her own strength, which was none too robust. "Thankie's in the kitchen," she announced, "putting up jam. Go on back." She designated the rear of the house with a wave of her hand and rudely started towards the sitting room, reading as she went. The pantry was a large and cheerful place. Sunshine filtered through dotted-swiss curtains edged in blue gingham and Thankful was standing by a white pine shelf mixing the ingredients for a cake. "I was told that you were putting up preserves," I said, after she had greeted me cordially and urged me to sit down. "I suppose Kitten told you that. Shows how much she knows about what's going on back here," she smiled indulgently, "I finished those an hour ago." She nodded to a cupboard which held row after row of glasses, all of uniform size with fresh paraffin tops. The grape jelly shone like old Burgundy in the bright morning light, and there were also jars of golden marmalade with bits of lemon peel and spices which, Thankful said, Kitten liked with tiny hot biscuits and tea. "You smart thing!" I exclaimed, "and what kind of cake is that complicated thing going to be? "Chocolate marshamallow-fudge," she enumerated, "the kind Addle adorea!" The jelly then was made for Kitten Twentieth street, down town, that a Russian owns, but he wants to sell out and go to France." "On Twentieth street," I mused. What place is it? I don't seem to know it at all." No one does, because it hasn't been opened to the public yet. You see, he fixed up the place and then his wife, who is a Parisienne, became very unhappy here, so he decided it would be better to sell out and leave before he spent a lot more money advertising and getting the shop properly launched. He is willing to get out for much less than he spent." How thrilling! I cried, "really, Thankful, I can't imagine anything more fun than owning a cunning book shop and running it myself! How much does he want for it?" She nodded to a cupboard which held row after row of glasses, all of uniform size with fresh paraffin tops. The grape jelly shone like old Burgundy in the bright morning light, and there were also jars of golden marmalade with bits of lemon peel and spices which, Thankful said, Kitten liked with tiny hot biscuits and tea. "You smart thing!" I exclaimed, "and what kind of cake is that complicated thing going to be?" "Chocolate marshamallow-fudge," she enumerated, "the kind Addie adores!" The jelly then was made for Kitten and the cake was the kind of which Addie was especially fond. Always, it seemed to me, this lovely girl was thinking of someone other than herself. "Where is Addie now?" I asked. She's taking a business course," she replied. "Mother disliked the idea intensely but," she blushed, "it seemed necessary with things so frightfully dear. And Kitten just couldn't go out in the world. She's the baby, you know. Just a minute," she flung over her shoulder, "while I put this in to bake." I could see her through the door as she tested the oven, changed the damper on the antiquated wood stove and then returned. "I was thinking if you really meant it about wanting to do something besides play, that I might be able to suggest a thing that was offered to me," she began, resuming the conversation which we had started at the circle meeting the day before. "Well, I am serious about it and if you'll just tell me what I can do, I certainly will be glad. You see, Thankful, all my life I've done nothing but sit over a bridge table or chase about to luncheons where you see the same type of people and talk about nothing but dieting and permanent waves. Really I'd give anything to try my hand at something else." "That's the way I had you figured out," she replied, "you looked to me like a person who was straining at a leash, struggling to free yourself from conditions which held you too close. So it occurred to me that you might love a proposition which, as I said, was made to me." "Please tell me all about it," I urged. "It's a book shop," she announced. "There is the most charming place on "No one does, because it hasn't been opened to the public yet. You see, he fixed up the place and then his wife, who is a Parisienne, became very unhappy here, so he decided it would be better to sell out and leave before he spent a lot more money advertising and getting the shop properly launched. He is willing to get out for much less than he spent." "How thrilling!" I cried, "really, Thankful, I can't imagine anything more fun than owning a cunning book shop and running it myself! How much does he want for it?" She smiled. "I love your enthusiasm," she said. "I believe you're ready to write a check, but I wouldn't want you to do anything until you talk to him about it and see the place for yourself." "But it sounds perfect!" I declared. "How on earth did you know about it?" I asked. Well, you see, I've always had a passion for books. I took a library course at school and, if I'd been rich, I should have been a collector, for there isn't anything that gives me more pleasure than association with books. I thought I'd get a position in the library here after father passed on, but Kitten and Addie didn't take to housekeeping, so I felt it would be better for them if I stayed at home." Yes, I thought, while Kitten flitted about to parties and Addie went out to some interesting work and mingled with people, forming stimulating contacts and getting colorful experiences, while she stayed at home to cook and sew and drudge her life away in drab and monotonous routine! Suddenly I had an idea. Listen, Thankful, tell you what I'll do. I want this shop and I'm going to have it, but I need your help. I don't know a darn thing about books. All I can do is discuss Michael Arlen and Carl Van Vechten and other authors of best sellers as they come along, but when it comes to real literature I'm a total blank. The only decent things I've read were at college, and I've forgotten most of them. Turgenef, Tolstoy and Earlac sounds like a salad dressing on a trans-Atlantic liner to me. But..." I concluded, "I could handle the modern stuff and you could lord it over the high-brow department." Banner Year for The Citrus Grower Money Returns Greater Than in All History of Industry California's citrus industry, during the 1925-26 season marketed its largest crop with greatest returns ever made to the state, and did this in the face of an abnormally large production of practically all other competing fruits, again demonstrating the advantageous position of California growers due to their many years of aggressive sales and advertising campaign, according to the annual report of General Manager Dezell of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. Based on exchange returns, the total California citrus crop amounted to $98,023,031 f. o. b. California, with a delivered carload value of $135,218,641, the difference of $37,195,610 representing freight and refrigeration charges. The exchange alone did a delivered business of $97,662,552, with returns to exchange shipments amounting to the record sum of $70,744,726. Total shipments for the state equalled 63,640 carloads. Mr. Dezell calls attention to growers made by this co-operative organization during the past year in which the agricultural situation has been one of the serious national problems. Exchange shipments for the season totaled 46,593 actual carloads, 34,083 cars of oranges and grapefruit and 12,510 cars of lemons. This is an increase in exchange volume of approximately 4,000,000 boxes over last year, and about 1,000,000 boxes over the previous greatest year. 1923-24. This record-year brings total returns to exchange shippers for the past 23 years to the tremendous sum of $737,-000,000. Exchange marketing costs, including advertising, amounted to only 2.48 percent of the delivered carload value, which is materially lower than the marketing charges alone of any other agency, stated Dr. Dezell. It is notable that the California Valencia crop exceeded that of navels past year on both California oranges and lemons, in the face of the record production of competitive fruits, was only possible because of the years of consumer advertising and market development carried on by the exchange for the benefit of all citrus growers. "With the large production in sight," said Mr. Dezell, "maximum efforts should be made to increase consumption and perfect distribution. The California Fruit Growers' Exchange is carrying this burden for all, and a greater support by growers would enable us to increase our efforts without higher cost to the individual producer." Export business to European and trans-Pacific countries was more than three times as great as in any previous year. The exchange is steadily developing these outlets, which will be important factors with increasing crops. More than 3000 carloads of unsalable lemons were converted into millions of pounds of citric acid, lemon oil and pectin by the enlarged Lemon Products Company. The Orange Products Company was greatly increased in membership and capacity during the season, the report relates. The Fruit Growers' Supply Company transactions during the year ending October 31, of $10,296,390, represents the box shook and other supply business of the members. Data on Alkali Leaching Plots By RAYMOND ELLIS Assistant Farm Advisor During the last twelve months some interesting data has been secured from the alkali leaching plots on the Segerstrom ranch at Greenville. These plots, located on a spot which had not produced anything for 25 years, were first analyzed and prepared for flooding in November, 1925. This analysis showed the presence of more than twenty-six thousand parts per million of white alkali, but no black. The plots were first thoroughly plowed and subsolved and then bordered up and cross-checked. These borders were about eighteen inches in height, and about an acre of ground was covered by each basin. The first application of water was made on January 7. Cost Mesa finished first with 1705 eggs, while the entry of T. H. Holmes of Arcadia finished second with 1633 eggs. Mr. Block had high hen with 227 eggs, while Mr. Holmes had second high hen with 222 eggs. Lester Sprowls of Joplin, Mo., had high Rhode Island Red pen with 1651 eggs, while A. H. Heineman of Orange had second high pen with 1619 eggs. There were five entries from Orange county, two of which were entered by Block's poultry ranch, Costa Mesa; one by Will Hatch poultry ranch, Tustin; Elmer H. Koenig, Orange; and A. H. Heineman, Orange, all of which were in the first 27 at the end of the year. DELINQUENT NOTICE Office of the Anaheim Union Water Company, Anaheim, Orange County, California.

This record year brings total returns to exchange shippers for the past 23 years to the tremendous sum of $737,000,000. Exchange marketing costs, including advertising, amounted to only 2.48 per cent of the delivered carload value, which is materially lower than the marketing charges alone of any other agency, stated Dr. Dezzel. It is notable that the California Valencia crop exceeded that of navels by several thousand carloads. The increased consumption of orange juice greatly helped the Valencia market. Sunkist fruit juice extractors numbering 33,600 have now been sold at cost by the exchange, which is responsible for developing the large and increasing fresh fruit drinks business. Marketing over 90 per cent of California lemons, the exchange succeeded in a year of unfavorable weather conditions, in distributing the greatest volume of lemons ever sold, and at a reasonable return to the grower. Mr. Dezzel states that the individual marking of Sunkist oranges, in effect with the coming season will increase the effectiveness of the national advertising campaign and ensure the consumer against substitution. The tremendous volume of sales maintained at satisfactory prices during the How's that? Her face gleamed. Her deep brown eyes shone like stars. "Oh," she breathed, "how wonderful that would be! All my life it has been my dream. Books; to be with them; to touch them; to rustle their pages, and to smell them! The very odor of books spurs my imagination," she dreamed for a moment, then swiftly her expression changed. "But how," she asked "would mother and the girls get along?" Never you min dabout that. You'll earn enough to hire a cook and a girl to clean up and have something left over rf for clothes besides." Kitten does need a new evening dress. She's just at the age when she goes to a lot of dances, and perhaps if I went to work Addie wouldn't have to take a job. "Call your friend and tell him we're coming down. Please." She went to the phone, and while she was away my thoughts played with the fascinating idea of the shop. Just that morning my father had presented men with a check for a more generous amount. I wouldn't tell Curtiss until I had secured the shop. Then I'd call him up and tell him to come to a certain number down town. He would find me bare-headed behind a counter and wearing a smock (lavender would be lovely for Thankful and myself) and then what would he say? Final Report of Egg Laying Contest The 1925-26 Southern California egg laying contest at Pomona officially closed five days prior to the first of the month to permit the entries to be returned and houses repaired for the entries for the contest this year. In the light division the birds averaged 192 eggs for the 260 days' period and the heavy division averaged 176 eggs for a like period. G. F. Bell of Gardena won the contest with a pen of single comb White Legorns. His total for the year was 2255 eggs. R. P. Stephen won second with hens laying 2237 eggs. J. T. Milligan of San Fernando had high hen with a record of 302 eggs. 291 of which were extra eggs. Moses L. Frick of Bell had second high hen with a record of 296 eggs for the contest year. Only two entries of Anconas were in the contest. Block's poultry ranch of WITH SERVICE COURTESY For Thanksgiving Cooking Install a New Gas Range!
