Miss Sarah ordered a week of un-
broken quiet and rest for her patient,
and Steve, and not Barbara, proved the
difficult one to manage during that pe-
riod. For with returning strength
there came to him recollection of many
things which requited his attention.
He fretted over his work; he swore
humorously at Fat Joe, who, coming to
make dally reports as soon as Miss
Sarah realized that the good- in such
visits far exceeded the benefits of sleep
and solitude, assured his chief that
they bad accomplished much, unham-
pered as they were by carping author-
ity.
But he lay and brooded, no humor in
his eye. when he was left alone. Fat ]
Joe had assured him that she had
brought him home, but Fat Joe. who
was ever averse to anti-climax, had
told him no more than that His ef-
forts at entertainment were only the
more spontaneous those days beoause
of the soberness of his friend’s face.
And then the same day that Jo&alsed
him against tbe pillows so tbat he
might watch a string of flat cars, high
piled with logs, roll into the yards, they
let ber go to him.
Steve was listening to tbe shrill sa-
lute of the whistle which he knew was

prepared to’ begin the year with good

ported by a canning club member was
a net profit of $45 and the p*"*;
trip, the value of which is beyond com-
putation. An exhibit of Gins Canning
club products at the Harvffjst Home cele-
bration called forth very favorable com-
ment and a number of nice prizes wore
given. Over 1.300 quarts of fruits and
vegetables were canned for home use,
as per report of girls, many not making
reports, who had put up a vast quan-
tity. Our slogan is to supply the home
first and then market the surplus.
One chib member who haa done excel-
lent work was awarded $25 scholarship
at the College of Industrial Arts, and
expects to pay her other expenses by
making canning club products and rais-
ing White Leghorn chickens.

interested, more household convenienc-
es. more chickens and eggs for home
and market, more “raised in Deal on”

spirit for the entire county.
ROT OF THE Nth POWER
To the Record-Chronicle.
“Of all the years in history since the
beginning of the world, 1917 is likely
to unfold such tragedies of human des-
tiny. such cataclysms of nature and
such knowledge of things hitherto un-
seen and unknown that its. record will
transcend all that have precede it.”
Such is the opening paragraph of a
four-thnusand/Avord fulmination con-
cerning' events that are to occur in
1917, and which article appeared re-
cently in many newspapers thruout the
United States by grace of the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate, owners of copy-
right.
These spurious imaginings were born
in the brain of one Gabriel Neith and
Gabriel continues to toot his horn in
the second paragraph by indulging in
a few astrological technicalities which
would cause, Albertus Magnus to turn
green with envy.
Now', whom shall I criticise, the pa-
per or the reader? Perhaps, they both
deserve it. but it is my candid opin-
ion that if newspaper editors and pub-
lishers did not knov^ that a large^part
of their leaders were of just the
right caliber to fit such ammunition,
they would not waste spaed with; They
know that a person who will take a
sack of cats to the creek bottom to
starve to death because he is afraid of
spooks if he kills them, or the one
who believes Friday or the thirteenth
day of the month to be evil days, nr
the fellow who won’t plant “pertaties”
except during certain phases of the
moon, are just far enough along the
avenue of intellect to tarry at the
Taverw of Superstltution and so they
spread a feast. Distribution of litera-
ture hew their timbers to fit the

It is one of the natural duties of

Reader, why do you allow yourself
