Nearly everyone has taken great
pains the past week to burn all dead
weeds in town, which is

until night when they might

for burnings of this kind
is at noon instead of late evening.
Then one has a chance to see before
nightfall that all is well ere the town
is lost in slumber.
We think ve are unfortunate in
this territory, but look at those poor
folks up in Arkansas who have had
about half a dozen floods this year,
and the New England states; they
have had storms and floods and corn
borers and everything else, and an-
other storm raging up there now, in
the dead of winter! This country
has suffered only from a poor cotton
crop, and we afe all acting as though
the bottom had dropped out of crea-
tion and the Maker of all good gifts
had forgotten us! Cheer up, God is
in His Heaven and all is well!

Snow 1 3-4 Inches
Fell Wednesday
About 4 a. m. Wednesday snow be-
gan falling and continued until 9 a.
m., giving us 1% inches of the flakes
which was precisely what the grain
growers wanted and which will put
a splendid seasoning in the ground
for the coming crops. Sor.ie hard
freezes are just around the corner,
which, with this moist!’’-? dec-> in the
soil, will, it is s?id, kill out .-"any of
the insects that hnve infested this
’country fr,r m three r.r more
years, nnd give the farmers n fight-
ing chance to make at least one good
crop in 1928.
This snow was four days earlier
than our fl-st snow of last year, which
came on Christmas day. *

had the opportunity
to say how happy I am that you are
able to be up. I’m grateful for this
glimpse of you. It’s always just
glimpses. But those glimpses do
funny things to my heart.”
“That heart of yours! How did it
ever manage to survive the strain of
the excitement of last night?”
“Oh, it functioned splendidly. But
it was at work in a good cause. I
love you Isabel, I love you!” he said
softly.
“You must never say that to me
again,” she said slowly and determin-
edly. “After my stupid, cruel tho’t-
lessness you must hate me. I’ve had
time to do a good deal of thinking,
and my opinion of myself isn’t very
high. Out of sheer contrariness that
night in Washington I teased you in-
to doing things that led you into dan-
ger—and the danger is still about us.
I’m sorry; with all my heart I’m sor-
ry! If anything should happen to
you it would be my fault—my very
grievous sin! And maybe there are
other men that I may have said sim-
ilar things to—oh, you were not the
first!” she laughed forlornly. “They,
too, may have plunged into the same
pit I dug for you. Oh, how foolish
I’ve been!”

"I want you to promise," she was
saying, “that you won’t in any way
interfere with my cousin here. I can’t
have you taking further risks."
“You would have us run just as the
game grows interesting. Of course
we’re not going to quit the field and
leave that fellow here to annoy you!
He’s a dangerous character and we’re
going to get rid of him."
She was depressed, much as Ruth
had been a few hours earlier, and his
efforts to win her to a happier frame
of mind were unavailing.
She jumped up quickly and hurried
away, her head bowed. He watched
her until she was swallowed up in
the darkness.

Leary left the Arthur B. Grover and

Electrically equipped homes mean happier
and more healthful homes. The cost of
electrically operated labor-reduction devices
is offset many times by the saving, the in-
creased efficiency, the protection to health
and the contribution to the general well-
being of the family of such devices.”

X. HE constructive efforts of the
forward-looking electric power
companies of the United States
have released an ever-increasing
number of women from the exact-
ing duties of the household to more
congenial and interesting pursuits
of life.
Every new electrical invention
finds an abundance of power ready
to serve it. Through the enter-
prise of these companies, inspired
by individual initiative, electric
power plants and service facilities
are being constructed five years in
advance of consumer demand.
Since 1900, the capacity of these
plants has been doubled every five
years.
highly trained technical personnel
in the whole field of industry is
working for the betterment of
electric service.
As a result of this sense of trus-
teeship, the average home today
enjoys the comforts and conven-
iences of electricity at a cost of
only a few cents per day.
Operating under the American
principle of individual initiative,
and working in the interests of the
public, these specialists in science,
engineering, finance and adminis-
tration constitute one of society’s
greatest forces in the promotion of
freer, more enlightened and
abundant life.
In the continued support of this
principle lies America’s assurance
of all that makes for progress,
prosperity and cultural opportun-
ity.
A New Year to Crow About

and to all those whose friendship we are striv-
ing to gain, we wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year, and an abundance of
good things. We hope we will be permitted to
serve you for many years to come-
