J. M. Kuder of the Kuder Orange Meal Company is expected to arrive here September 15 in connection with the Rio Grande Valley Citrus Exchange dehydration project and F. J. McCabe of the Standard Steel Company is expected to come as soon as plans for the machinery are completed.

Both are California concerns. The by-products committee of the exchange has been waiting for organization to forward its plans so that it can go ahead with a contract for the building, 90x180 feet which will be constructed at rear of the juice plant here. It was announced by the exchange this week that most Valley canners had signed contracts to turn over their citrus peel to the local dehyration plant for the hauling. Seven year contracts were signed with many of the biggest canners. The peel be dried and converted into dairy and chicken feed.

The Kuder concern has contracted forthe entire output at a stipulated minimum price, but will participate in the profits, if the mraket price goes up. Synopsis of Preceding Instalments: In Gloria grammar school days in San Francisco, Dr. Herford, always prosperous and busy, becomes fashionable as well and his pretty wife Ada selects a new home in Seacliff, a fashionable suburb. Gloria is sent to one of finest schools and spends iier summers'with her parents at Lake Tahoe. When Gloria is 19 her mother wants to give her coming-out party but Gloria vetoes the idea.

She takes a course in typewriting and stenography, then in accounting and grieves her mother by saying she wants a job which eventually will lead to something worthwhile in hotel management. The job she does get at $80 a month, on the recommendation of Dr. Merriam, is as assistant manager of Lockwood Sanatorium at Sausalito. Her heart fails her when she sees the old uncared-for wooden building and the odds and ends of furnishings; she is more depressed when she learns that Miss Caroline frequent illnesses are the result of too much liquor, and that Barbara Wilson is leaving. The dozen or more are old people who pay $100 a month.

When Mrs. Larkin comes back to work she disappears for a day or two each week with Caroline. Both women are about 40 and good-looking and attractive when they are themselves, but Gloria at times becomes very discouraged. Ida, the cooks, takes an unannounced day off and when Gloria goes to the kitchen to prepare dinner a nice- looking young man appears at the door.

Their eyes, the tones of their voices were saying things that their words did not say. Gloria, slim and fair and trustingly brown of eyes, looked at him in unsmiling childish confidence; the man was sometimes a little flushed and sometimes a little pale; sometimes he laughed awkwardly, at other times was sure of himself to the point of being quite masterful.

After her weeks of banishment from what wras young and flattering, Gloria found this admiration strong wine, indeed. Peter appeared almost a little dazed. He told her that he would see her again in a day or two, and Gloria went upstairs completely absorbed in the thought of this new element in her life.

Glory flushed and laughed. This was sun.lier. She and Peter hoped to be married early in the new year But even before that time there wrere changes at the sanatorium, and presently Glory found herself out of a job. The changes began imperceptibly with a general in every department of the establish ment. Gloria might once have thought this hardly possible and that any change must be for the better, but it wras not so.

Caroline falls from grace occurred oftener and were more lasting; Larkin came back only intermittently and was almost no use when she did come back. Maids came and went with complete irresponsibility; only Ida remained true, and nerves and patience were worn to their very ends. Bills were not paid and patients began to leave. New prospects did not materialize. One old man and one old woman died; five went away; the number in the house was reduced to twelve.

It was ridiculous to keep going a place that would accommodate four times that number, but Gloria struggled along gallantly, hoping for better times. Quite suddenly, on a wet November afternoon, when Peter had come over to call and he and Gloria had a small fire in the room called authorities arrived in the shape of state investigators, trustees, stockholders, all sorts of persons whose existence Gloria had never suspected before. There were eight of and when they had finished with the Lockwood, which was not for some two weeks, every- ting was changed. Miss Lockwood and Mrs. Larkin were dismissed into the shadows; accounts were checked, omissions rectified, expenditures sternly questioned.

Gloria was offered the position of linen-room woman and second assistant manager of the New Bayview Home and Sanatorium soon to be opened on this same site. Fully equipped with everything that the most critical could desire in the way of baths and showers, lockers, laboratories, and kitchens, it would still somewhat follow the comfortable lines of the old house; it would stand on the same, although in an entirely reconstructed, garden. At the head of it would be a Dr. Reynolds, who said pleasantly to Gloria that he wished she had had more experience. His assistant would be Miss Weathers, a trained nurse and at one time head of a hospital school, who asked Gloria why she did not take two years of training, as she w'ould then be of infinitely more value.

Economists said the corn crop in most of Nebraska was ruined and crops in adjoining states suffered heavy damage during August. In the main corn belt area, however, rains kept th: crop developing normally in some states.

The total wheat crop last year was 626.200,000 bushels.

She thanked Dr. Reynolds and Miss Weathers politely for the opportunity they offered her, but explained that she was going to be married. The engagement was announced just before Christmas and proved to be the forerunner of a delightfully thrilling situation.

Above all, it was good to have and love back of one and thrown in for good measure. Peter was completely adorable.
