"Jim! It’s Christmas Eve!”
A few minutes later they found
themsel&es staring blankly out the
window, almost wishing they'd nev-
er discovered it was Christmas.
It was kind of childish to let on
that you eared. Bill thought. So he
put on his parka and he^dfd for
the door. '
"Let's forget it. Jim,” he advised.
'Tm going to look at our traps and
get some fresh air. Be back soonl"
it was no picnic, truoging through
knee-deep drifts for two hours. To
make it worse, the traps were al)
empty. Even the animals were stay-
ing inside in this weather.
"Wonder if they’ll miss Christmas,
too?" he mused as he neared the
cabin.
Suddenly he heard a faint hum in
Nfk sky. It grew nearer. Unmis-
takably a motor—an airplane!
Bill raced for the cabin door.
"A plane. Jim!" he cried. "Get
some black smoke going up the
chimney!” Then he raced out to
the clearing.
The pilot saw him gesticulating
wildly, or else he saw the fresn
black smoke over the cabin. The
big ship circled, flew oft to the north,
turned and came back, flying low
Over the clearing it almost stalled
as the pilot dumped overboard a
huge bundle that plummeted into
the snow almost at Bill’s feet. Then
he waved and sped away.
They got it inside, somehow,
though they wanted to open the bun-
dle right where it landed. Once the
. rape was torn loose an oilskin poueh
i flew out. A note was inside. From
i the boss:
"In case you boys have forgot-
ten." it read, “tomorrow's Cbrist-
I mas. Herewith the makings, includ-
1 ing some presents your families
asked us to send along.”
Bill and Jim looked at each oth-
er. then they cheered.
"Merry Christmas?" asked Bill.
"Why, it's the best ever! Wait’ll
you taste this turkey!!"

Here's a Row Feed Crop Thai
- Will Challenge West Texas
W. H. Elenburg, 3 miles west
of Newport has just completed
gathering one of the best row
feed crops ever produced. in this
■^ountry and it was grtfwn on
"tubble land after he had thrash-
ed his splendid grain crop this
year with his combine.
He planted 47 acres of the
stubble land the first of August
which matured in 60 day from
the time planted. He.cut and put
in his trench silo 40 tons of the
well headed higari. Headed and
gathered 18 wagon loads of heads
that averaged 1,500 pounds to
the load. Besides this he sold
2,000 bundles of the. feed to his
neighbors at 3% cents per bun-
lie. At the time he planted the
teed some of his neighbors told
film that it was too late and that
the feed wouldn’t have time to
mature. But Elenburg had faith
and went ahead and his faith won
out. He obtained a good stand
and the heads on the stalks were
as fine as ever seen in west Tex-
as or anywhere else. Come on
and beat it if you can out you
will find this record hard to beat.
Several hands that assisted in
gathering this wonderful row
feed certify to the facts above.

he arose and went down to
town early in the morning that
the people were sleeping out in
the open. That they were afraid
to go back in their homes lest
another quake come and shake
th^e buildings “down on them?
During that quake he said the
earth seemed to rise up and move
forward rapidly in waves. Said
that the . quake turned over cars
in the streets and that it broke
