Personally we havenct noticed any difference at all We get up at the s.tnte time as before, irrespective of clocks—only it just means wait- ing an hour longer for our dimer. Which just reminds nae of some- thing I was thinking about the other day, Circumstances drove me to the conclusion that it doesn't pity to be put of step with the rest of the world. It was like this: Fpr the first time in—I don't know how many years - we didn't put in an appearance at our local fair, Partner is still in the hos- pital and I didn't feel nluelt like going.

It's Easy To Soften Hard Brown Sugar In this day when no housewife handles sugar with reckless hands, the bricklike aspect sometimes as- sumed by brown sugar can be especially baffling, according to the Christian Science ion[ tor. But there's an easy way to soften it,so that it can be measured just as thriftily as its present value dictates. tnt s. First breakh t c sugar up—using a hammer or hatchet if necessary (but carefully!)—suftr-. ciently to get it into a jar or can for which you have a tight cover. Then put in with the sugar; a slice of bread and cover the jar. That's all there is to its In a few days, the sugar will be in a soft and measurable state. o prove how fast Aspirin is ready to go to work, just drop one in e glass of water.

Britain Tries Out New Simiall Thresher A new simple harvester of spe- cial value fol small farms is being tried out at Evesham in central England. Although it costs no more than a binder the machine threshes standing corn (wheat) and preliminary trials over fifteen acres have shown it does the work smoothly and speedily. The grain is guided by prongs - in the front of the harvester so that the heads are caught in a miniature drum, threshed aud then released. A sacking board at the back carries two sacks of grain. The York- ehire Post states that apart from the sire and cost it differs from the ordinary comhine harvester in that it clots not cut corn Inst sim- ply threshes it, leaving the straw standing in the field. ::,.

CB on1W IN y HELEN TOPPING MILLER CHAPTER I Mona Lee Mason was lost the, moment she looked at Gary Tall- man, standing there waiting for it ride at the filling station. He had sandy, curly hair and apt engaging senile, and he walked up calmly and with naive confidence, "I'nt Gary Tallman, from Alaba- ma," he said, in an educated voice overlaid with a southern drawl, "Would you let me ride into town with you'? I missed the bus, and it's pretty important that I get into San Antonio tomorrow, I assure you that I'm perfectly safe. Yogi can have this man search itte, if you like." Mona Lee looked at him, He was a nice looking young ratan, with frank gray eyes. His tan riding pants and boots had cost nuuney., and his one suitcase was of good leather. She said as kindly as she could. "I'm not in the habit of picking up people..." "Naturally," he agreed. "I knelt that when I 10011811 81 yogi" "My husband—" began Mona Lee mu:asily. "I know. He's probably a very [vise husband Ile smiled at her, "But I'm a petroleum engineer front—" he named a good univer- sity— "on tete way to a job." My Non -in -taw is in oil. Leases." Mona Lee mentioned the company, stalling for time, "rep with the his., fellows, is he? I've been trying to grt'in there, but they're net taking 00 any geo- phyeic teen. But there's -a chance in Mexico if you're willing to work cheaply." * * Gary Tallman smiled. For the last seventeen year, Mena Lee Ma- son had been feeling a sick jerk of agony whenever she saw a tall boy with sandy, curly hair. Because little Phil wotticl have grown up Iooking like that — tall and swag- gering; and audacious, . with hair ex- actly this color, "I don't go all the way to town," Mona Lee told hint, "Our place is two miles this side. But probably you can get a ride the rest of the way The boy putt his suitcase on the floor in the back, But he opened the front door and got in beside iter. "You've been over in the oil fields?" she asked. "Pretty hard work isn't it?" "I've been rigging — and that is tough. Especially if yat'ce itching. to be doing something that you've been trained to do." "My son," Mona Lee went on, "is third year Ia t the at tl c t`nivcr•it �y of Virginia." "Swell school," approved her passenger, * * * Lee Mona Lthought •1 a 6 u of Harvey Junior — dark and lean and tall, dark like her but not like her in other ways — he was too quick and smooth and sarcastic. Not much like his father, either, Har- vey Senior was blunt and earthy and direct. Mona. Lee admitted to • herself that she wan a little afraid of her son. But little Phil would have been like this stranger here. Phil had loved the soil and had al- ways opened his big gray eyes wide and told the truth attidvefy. •"The law," Gary Tallman went on, "is pretty crowded. Your hus- band is to law "01, no _ he's a rancher, He raises grade Brahma steels and' buys cattle." She _felt his ryes move aver her and was glad that her new spring snit and her straw •hat were becom- ing. She Was forty-three, lent the young boys still danced with her at parties, and that pleased Harvey though he wouldn't say so. They hat! been married twenty-four years, and they had been happy years. * This boy talked well. Ile had seen a lot of the world. His fa- ther, so he said, was in cotton in Brazil and his mother had 'died when he was seven, Mona Lee felt a chocking lamp of sympathy at that. She loved boys so much, She mothered every Janke male crea- ture Ilancy ]lived on the place, The irony was that she had never been able to mother Harvey Ju- nior, at all. Nor leer _young son-in- law, (:)liver Kimball. llarvey junior had always been terribly Belt—sufficient resenting au- thority, reading books that worried his ]either. But this boy here in the car was pleasantly case, He had been around the world on a tramp freighter, be told her, He had worked, rigging wells and wett- ing ading ?tot mud in a Louisiana swamp. But you can't be more than evenly?" she said. "I'm twenty-four. 1 worked in smatters, played football in the fall, and waited on tables in the dormitory to get through school. illy father married again and though my stepinotlter's a good scout, she has three kids of her own, and I didn't want to take help from them," * * * She found herself telling hint about her daughter, Adelaide, who was fair and calm and quick -mind- ed like Harvey. "She didn't want to go to col- lege. She's at Borate this year, but I think she's a little bit .lost. She has beaux hanging around, but I don't think she cares much about any of them." "You," said the boy abruptly, "have good hands for a horse. In Brazil last year, I rode a lot, Those fellows down there are terrific oz horseback,",. Mona Lee smiled a little. "Son, Irc in a western saddle.And g w u > I I can generally stake a horse do what I want him to do." "Does your daughter ride, too?" "She used to. And then her fa- ther bought her a little car and now she says horses don't go fast enough. This is our place now it begins at this fence." "Good looking cattle," approved Gary Tallman. "E.very last head of that herd is, eligible for registry. Of course, some of our stuff is just beef stuff.—" "Look out!" barked the boy. It was Slim's fault, of course, ( To 13e Contiiiued) HARNESS & COLLARS Warmers Attention — Consult your nearest Harness Shop about Steep Harness Supplies, We sell our goods only through your _local Staeo Leather Goods dealer.
