"Dear Ma and Pa, Jeff and I have
gone to the city to be married. Ma
you just will newel' see things our
way so this all there is left for us
to do. I'm sorry„(signed) Jennie.”
From behind the barn Hiram
could see the ancient auto rattling
towards home. Elviry's gaunt figure
at the steering wheel was silhoue-
teed agains the white road, and Hir-
am smiled to himself at the picture
of his very large wife in the very
small car. As it milled into the
driveway he quickly ducked out of
sight. Better to have her diicover
tite note herself. Reluctantly he
went into the house himself
She wheeled Ott him sharply, her
whole figure trenmbling with rage
and astonishment.
"Hiram! Have you seen this"
she demanded.
'Do you realize .what this means?
Jennie—she's gone! Jennies' bile,
Hiranm.l', She waved the note wildly
In ,his face.
She stormed at the little roan
furiously. "They have no right to
marry! He'll never he able to sup- -
port her ; his own .father said he'd
never make a farmer. All this talk
about his wanting to study engin-
eering and scull nonsense -1 won't
have My daughter be his wife!"
"Nom:, listen, Elviry," 'he said
boldly. "you're just carrying my so
because Jennie's outwitted you!
This would never would have hap-
pened if you hada"t been so stub-
born and would have consented to
their marrying in the first place. if
there's anything you women can't'
stand it's to have another out -do

She -read the note over again.

the city. That must mean the 11:15

hurry we can catch her." Under her
breath she added to herself: "So
she' thinks she can outwit mei" and
drawing her. lips into a hard, thin
line, she grimly barged out the
dor. Hiram followed.
She opened, the squeaky garage
doors with an effort, and they went
inside. He puffed away.on his pipe
as she Fumbled- in her huge hand-,
bag
Hiram, have you the car key?`
No, Elviry, 1 ain't seen it all

She dashed out the door and he

"Why, I set on the table there."
"Yes you didi" she accused. "You

He walked onto the porch. The

the melancholy whistle of a train,

costeutendly for a while on his

against the railing, There was a

"Don't Poison Your Livestock"
is the heading of a warning 'sent
out by a prominent . University
veterinary' expert; and although
you've probably heard all this be-
fore—well, the care „you took yes-
terday isn't going
esterday'isn't,going to save the stock'
you may, inadvertently, poison to-
day. So here goes.

This expert — his name is Dr.
R, P. -Linlc, by the way -lists
eleven , articles, in common use
around farms, as being especially
dangerous.
Cattle are sometimes poisoned
when they lick lead paint from old -
paint buckets, or even frau a
freshly painted baric or stable.
Nitrate fertilizer is' deadly to
cattle, so don't leave empty fertil-
izer sacks where the cattle can yet
at them.
c
• "Treated" grain is a 'livestock
killer. Hogs and salt bribe make
another deadly combination, so if
you have a salt trough for -pigs,
keep it covered agaipst rani.
t+ *
Fviedicines such as carbon disul-
phide, sodium -fluoride and n'cotine
sulphate can kill, when given in the
wrong amounts. Rat and ground-
hog poisons, insect sprays and
grasshopper bait are other deadly
mixtures.
* * *
Best place for ditch livestock
poison,, Dr.. Link suggests, is
where livestock can't possibly get ,
at them. A lot of farmers keep
such things in the garage which
mightn't be such a bad idea.
* *4,
And it mightn't be a bad idea,
either, to remind you that driving
tractors too close to ditches takes
the lives of several farmers each
summer:
* *
One man, who got stuck in a
ditch, but whose tractor fortun-
ately didn't happen to fall over on
him, said, "From now on I'm going
to allow two extra feet between my
tractor wheels and the ditch bank,
for safety. 'Tractors under load
just seem to he sucked right into
ditches."

The sett of a Canadian—J. H.
Evans, Deputy Miuiste'h of Agri-
culture in Manitoba—is described
as one of the highlights of the
meeting of the National Polled
Cattle Promotion ' Club, held re•
Gently in Waterloo, Iowa.
* * -*
Mr, Evans told his audience about
how the Prairie Provinces—Man-
itoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
collect a penalty of one dollar
per head nu all horned cattle sold
at public markets; and how the
fund, so collected, is used to pro-
mote the production and marketing
of hornless cattle.

Starts Business dais
1 Buck—And A !role
Ou a farm about 70 miles from
New York City, Bonnie Brown
found Fame and fortune in spinning
yarn on an old-fashioned Colonial
flax -spinning wheel.
It alt started seven years ago
when Bonnie's husband brought
home a couple of Easter bunnies.
Their two little girls soon tired of
feeding and' caring for the little
white Angoras, so Bonnie took
over.
She read up on t'abhits, attended
shows, and learned to - clip and
pluck them. Then a friend taught
her to spin. Bonnie bought a spin
ning wheel and started turning the
"Angora wool into yarn.
'A dollar and ten cents will buy
25 yards of it. Or Bonnie will knit
a lady's sweater for $45 to $65. A.
baby set—sweater, hat, bootees and
mitts—sells for $29.50. But Bonnie's
profits don't stop there. She'll teach
you to spin, and sell you a spin-
ning wheel from her collection.
With orders eoni.ing in from ail
Dees the country, Bonnie's Bunny -
land has become a fullliene ooeu-
patiou for Bonnie and takes up
every minute her two daughters,
now 14 and 117, salt spat's from
their :sot:tool• work.

products you have to sell as it fe .

Which sounds to me like a heap
of wisdom crainnted into one small`
sentence. ,

Of course you'd like to increase
the pi•iee'and value of your land—
,here's a very simple, yet proven,
method of doing so. PVT SOME-
THING INTO YOUR COM-
MUNIT ", AND INTO BETTER
LIVING.
* * *
Land in "good" communities, as
you probably know, brings a prem-
ium as compared with the .sante
same type of farm in.a "poor" conm-
'ntunity:' That's because people will
pay morethan a farm is actually
worth, just for the privilege of liv-
ing in a nice place.
* r
And you can't expect to have
good living and a strong commun-
ity .unless ;ygou're willing tospend
sonic of your stoney, and more of
your time, on worth -while neigh-
borhood or connnunity projects.
Suspicious
The good country doctor came
home all worst out and prepared for
a good night's sleep. No sooner bad
he retired than the phone beside
his bed buzzed shrilly.
He nudged his wife: "Listen, Ma,
see who it is; say you expect me
soon, or anything you think of."
The wife answered the phone.
"Doctor is n01 at .hound." she
said.
"Well, this is Mrs. Jones," rat-
tled a voice in the receiver, "l got
a pain and 1 want to see Mtn as
soon as he conies in."
The old doctor whispered some
instructions to his wife, which she
repeated to the would-be patient.
"Do that, and I'm sure you'll soon
feel all right," the wife concluded,
"Thanks very much," said the
lady on the phone crisply; "but
before I take your advice, tell me
something. is that gentleman who
seems to be with you qualified to
advise me?"
Knew The Answer /
In Bio southern U.S. the whites
• are strongly against Negroes vot-
ing. However, strong liberal opposi-
tion has caused the mitt -blacks to
retreat somewhat, Theme are still
those mvhp would - bar the colored
people' from their democratic right
and yet not let the, Northerners
think that they were doing, so:
These. people have devised - what
are loosely called educational.. testis
which the Negro Must pass in order
to be eligible to vote.
One time a Negro who had' a
Ph.D. in romance . and classical
languages sought to. vote in Ala-
bama. '1'Ite clerk gave him a number
of, foreign -language newspapers to
read. "If you can read these,
know you're literate," said the -
clerk, ""and you'll be permitted to
vote." The Negro read the French,
German and. Russian papers with-
out hesitancy. The clerk grew
flustered, He handed' him a Polish
and Italian newspaper and again
the colored man red thein fluently.
"Read this!" challenged the clerk
finally, tossing a Chinese newspaper
on .the table. The Negro looked" up
with a sac! smile: "It says that
Negroea can't vote in Alabama:"
