Well, how does everybody like
being buck on standard time?
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. Iiut, still 1 had to go down

might be a good idea to get my

n't work out that way. You see

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.

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.

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

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,
