More Money In Markets 
Farm Women Study Ways to Increase Income 
M rs. lewis Seymour of Bing¬ 
hamton, chairman of the central 
district of the New York State Federation 
of Home Bureaus, has worked out a 
practical way to help farm women to 
increase the family income. Mrs. Sey¬ 
mour is planning for the instruction and 
enter tarn ment of a large number of 
farmers’ wives in Binghamton on October 
10 and 11, when they will be given the 
opportunity of studying the leading way- 
side markets of this little city near the 
Pennsylvania border, and of inspecting 
the public markets of Johnson City and 
Endicott. 
On Friday afternoon the women will 
meet to discuss marketing problems. . A 
number of women in this territory give 
their husbands very real assistance in the 
marketing of garden produce. They 
help to prepare the stuff, and even drive 
big truck loads to these early morning 
sales. 
The women will be invited to tell their 
experiences at the meeting on Friday, 
at 1:30 P. M. in the Binghamton Public 
Library. On Saturday morning A. S. 
Merchant, a former Farm Bureau man¬ 
ager and a present director of agricultural 
work for the Lackawanna Railroad, will 
conduct the party through these really 
wonderful public markets, and will give 
advice on what to grow and how to de¬ 
velop the market for the products of the 
farm. 
Benefit to Both Producer and Consumer 
Mrs. Seymour points out that the 
matter of the proper marketing of the 
produce of the farm and of the farm 
home is one of the most vital questions 
confronting rural sections to-day. She 
believes it to be equally important to 
the urban centers, since the producer is 
dependent for his sales upon the con¬ 
sumer, and the consumer must look to the 
producer for his sustenance. “The 
problem,” she says, “is not one of town 
and country as separate and distinct 
interests, but as one big and united 
group, each part of which exists solely 
with and by and for its companion portion 
of the great whole.” 
Any farm woman or other person re¬ 
siding i^i any nearby community who is 
interested in this project is invited to 
attend this event. It is hoped that some 
organization for the development of 
better rural produce and better market¬ 
ing methods may result.— Mabel G.

W ELL,” said Jimmy, “as for the Bee 
Parson, I was wonderin’ if he’d think 
I lied about the money bein’ clean. I 
mebbe that was a good way to find out. 
If you stuck you was sure the sort of girl 
I thought you. I—I had a sort of hunch 
you liked me some.” Her eyes shone on 
him. 
“How about you, Jimmy? Was it 
just because you were sorry for me?” 
“I reckon you don’t believe in love at 
first sight. I do. That’s what happened 
to me.” 
“Honest?” 
“And true. Why wouldn’t I?” 
“Jimmy, perhaps I didn’t believe—in 
love at first sight—but I guess I do now, 
Jimmy. It was that way with me.” 
“You want to come with me—for 
always?” 
“I just ache to, Jimmy Trouble 
Hughes.”

marries Jimmy and he goes to buy horses to 
effect their escape. Bluff finds her alone in 
the cabin and shows her a poster and tele¬ 
gram identifying Jimmy as a notorious 
mail robber. He offers to let him escape if 
Alice will repudiate the marriage. She 
refuses and just in time Jimmy breaks the 
locked window and after a short fight,

no worse than a good many other ways 
of gettin’ it. As for not callin’ Furniss,
