I tried trimming ,toe wlcka—one decided to light ' up, the other two wouldn't. Had ); any new wicks in,the house? For the lite of me I couldn't remember. A Ithrried search revealed juss t one. I yanked one 01d one out and put the new one in. And then the 'darn thing wouldn't turn up. At long last I won out. And then Bob came along and' said the men wouldn't be in until twelve -thirty.

However, as I. said before, the threshing is all over again until next time—and we will. worry about that when we have to -but I can assure you that when we do thresh again I shall be making sure my oil stove doesn't run dry agals.
