To make the best use of the pasture Partner syritches the cows around from one field to an- other and also into a small patch of pasture at the back of the house. And what hapi-ens? Eery time the cows catch sight of Partner they bawl their heads off, expect- ing him to turn them into another Pasture just the same as a opoilt child will bawl until he gets what he wants. After being the the back- yard the cows were wors,: than ever because here they were able to :get a good feed of apples ... and they figured that was just what -the doctor ordered, One day while they were feed,, ing near the house Partner asked me to keep an eye on them while he went up to the back field to fix a fence. ".Mind they don't get into that barbed wire under the cherry trees," cautioned Partner, So I took my string beans and sat on the front step to cut them. That way, although I could not keep the cows in view all the time I could certainly see them if they got any- where near the barbed wire. Every- thing was quiet and I thought how well they were behaving themselves -not coming near the barbed wire at all. But suddenly there was one terrific bellow -like an animal in pain. I jumped to my feet , .. and away went the beans, of course. I ran to the back of the yard .. . there was Drowsey, one of our Durham heifers - complete with horns --with its head right through -the wire fence. Now what to do! I remember Partner always thought it advisable in such an emergency to approach quietly and cut one of the fence wires to release the cow's head. He had explained to mise that if left to pull herself foose she was liable to do a lot o' damage to the fence. I could well believe that as I watched j this heifer pulling and tugging, this way and that, while I stood help- less -remembering that Partner had taken the fence pliers with him.

"Well," I thought to myself, "she's going to damage the fence anyway, So I might as well Help her do it." So I got into the next field and walked along very quietly until I was facing the heifer. I could see that if I could only get one horn back through the fence she might manage to get the rest of her head free without too much trouble, So I grabbed one horn with both hands and hung on for dear life. Together we rocked back and forth -the heifer, the fence and I. One time she pulled back so far I thought the whole fence was go- ing -and I with it. Finally the heifer quieted down a bit and I managed to get the tip of her horn through the square wire mesh. Sure enough, that was all that was necessary. Ill a few seconds Drow- sey had her whole head, horns and all, free - once more. She backed hurriedly away and then to my sur- prise she came running up to the fence again, palved the ground and bellowed like a bull. Whether she was mad at zee or the fence I wouldn't know -but fortunately she didn't try getting her head tangled up any more. I might add that all the time I was doing the mercy act the other 14 cows were also grouped around the fence bawling lustily. They didn't make the work any easier because I knew what would happen if the fence should collapse. Honestly, cows are the cussedest things -if you'll excuse the expression. q: w .: Just My Type -Michelle Hildebrand examines the tattooed blood type marking on Sally Christian after civilian defense committee approved a plan for blood type tattoos on all citi- zens.

Now we are financially well off:, our own home and a good business, which we both work in, We have a son and a daughter. You could look the world over and never find a more devoted couple "Until a year ago. ` s) "Then my husband changed. Complained about everything and Sunday afternoon we had another cow adventure. Daughter and one of our nieces were here for the weekend so we went to the back of the farm looking for choke- cherries. We also wandered into one of our neighbors' fields where there were about 30 head of cattle. Immediately they saw us they came across the field on the run. Have you noticed -cows are the most inquisitive things besides be- ing cussed. As they came nearer we turned and faced them and they stopped dead. We walked on and they came after us again. Then Tippy came running out of the bush and put theme to rout. I called her off, thinking the cattle would now be ready to leave us alone. But no, back they came again. We had only a little way to go to reach the fence so niece Babs took her heels and was over it like a shot. Daughter and I were not really alarmed, although if you get in among a herd of strange cows you never can tell . . . stopped taking us places. By acci- dent, I found a letter to him frons another woman, "That night we discussed it cal- mly. He had fallen in Iove with. her.

He finally told me that he had stopped seeing the girt as he had promised - but he couldn't get her off his mind, He said he could not stand being dishonest or mean to me any longer. He asked me to stick by him and be more under- standing when he got in these moods. "I am not sure that he loves me ary more.

Would you like to feel "well off" in spite of today's heat? Then look at souse of the official figures Of, earth's hot and cold places, gathered by the National Geo- graphic Society, There's Azizia, in northwestern L.ibia, for example, where the high- est temperature ever officially re- corded, ort September 13, 1922, was 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit. The United States also has a hot spot or two. An official reacting of 134 degrees has been taken in Death Valley, southeastern Cali- fornia, Where the United States Weather Bureau has a station on the valley's edge. Along the coast of the Persian Gulf in southern Iran unofficial t(-mperatures of 150 to ISO degreev have been recorded in the boiling sun. The toren of Ahwaz claimi's it gets up to 150 degrees or more, while on Abadan Island, at tine toi> of the gulf, the mercury in unpro- tected thermonmeters has been re- ported to climb to a lofty '189 degrees.

Paper Dress Fate Now 100 Fears Winifred Pegler, editor a publications which. speciali providing patterns for the. home knitter and dress plaster, recently gave a most interesting talk in the li,B,C, Overseas Service oil the malting of paper patterns for women's clothing. Although Imme, dressmaking has played its part fit women's lives since time imine, nlorial it is only in the last hun- dred years that paper patterns have been available. This revolution in homne dressmaking catre about, surprisingly enough, throtigh the famous .cookery expert, Mrs. Bee - ton. She visited Paris with her husband and arranged for a regular supply of French fashion plates to be sent to then) for inclusion in their monthly publication, "The English- woman's Domestic Magazine." These plates became so popular that people wanted to copy them and Mrs. Beeston decided to cut pat- terns from them which would be supplied to readers on application. These enabled all English tgomen to be fashionably dressed, a distinction enjoyed before only by those who had'mnoney to employ a professional dressmaker. Statistics show that more and more women throughout the world are now studying dressmaking and malting their own clothes but pro- bably few people stop to think hose paper patterns are evolved. A great deal of creative and technical skill "'is needed to make a good one. Fash- ion staffs in London, Paris and New York send designers all the latest fashion news. The designer digests this information, puts her ideas into a sketch and a finished model gar- ment in muslin is made from this. A photographed copy of the final drawing, with a written description of the garment and all necessary details such as suggested fabrics in Which to make it, is then sent to the patterin-making department and given to a highly skilled cutter, She achieves the almost miraculous feat of transforming a flat sketch into shapes that, when assembled, will become a fashionable garment. These shapes are then traced opt to heavy paper which eventually becomes the Master Pattern. A tissue is cut from this and sent to a dressmaker who has not previously seen the design. She makes the garment in one of tine suggested materials and for the first time this Is tried on a living model. Fveryone connected .ivith making the pat- tern attends this fitting and every detail is checked. The dress and the artist's drawing must correspond exactly because the drawing will be the picture on the envelope con- taining the pattern and the finished I arment must look exactly like the Picture. The second stage of con- structing a paper pattern is the writing of easy-to-follomv instruc- tions with simple sketches as guides to the various stages of making. Patterns of different sizes are then cut and a chart drawn, giving cut- ting -out diagrams for use with inat- erials of different widths, bast of all the patterns are cut from the master which is placed on thick Piles of tissue paper and the outlines cut by hand with a fine blade. Tile Pieces are then folded and packed together with instructions in their envelopes. Miss Pegler pointed out that the very first paper patterns were dir- ect copies of Paris models, This practice was soon discontinued and for nearly a century patterns were made by an individual designer, This year, for the first time since the 1.850's, direct copies of French models are being made in paper patterns for the home dressmaker's use. These models are rather con' - plicated but there are many good easy -to -make patterns on sale. The home dressmaker can have com- plete confidence in then' for the main consideration of the designers, after correct fashion detail, is to create a garment that is as simple a:; possible to make. ".Experts have given it every attention," said Afiss Pegler reassuringly, .Id -�.

Then when they were Divinely called to take the Gospel to the Gentiles, they took John also io minister. When they had gone through Cyprus and were turnini} up into Asia Minor, John departed, from them and returned to Jeru- salem. Paul regarded this as failure: and refused to allow Mark to ac,.• company hint on his second mis- sionary journey. Just how serious was this failure, we do not know. Perhaps he should clever have gone. The Holy Ghost had said to the Church at Anti- och, "Separate me Barnabas a.nd Srul for the work whereunto 1 have called them." Mark had no sucfr Divine call.

His conversion probably took place at the prayer meeting in his mother's house when Peter came there from prison. Thus it would Le natural for Peter to call hint "my son." I Peter 5:13.
