Since the days of Sam johnson il has been
thought manly thing to confess to undesirable
relatives When a city man says Il have Just been
out in the country visiting my cousin, and do not
care much for pumpkin pie did," you at
once admire his moral courage, and his great level
ing humanity.
Everyone has a country relative in the closet
everyone has an Uncle Eben. My own Uncle Eben
lives in Twinsbnrg, o., place so called from the
obvious fact that Ii is twin to Goose Greek, Ky.
When one of our family is in the vicinity of Twins
burg, that one must visit Uncle Eben or incur the
cruel reproach of conforming his relatives. That
is the way it Is and the first question asked of
the returned traveller is not "as your health been
benefited by the change of scene?" but, "IIave you
been to Uncle Eben2" If not, then recrm-
ination.
| suppose that in every first class family ii is
the same.
do not like to be reproached, and, as l love my
Uncle Eben dearly, made the visit. do not now
see how Burns who resided continuously in the
country could have conceived the cratic idea that
was made to mourn.
The first day at Uncle Eben's we planned an
excursion. We arose at four and by five were
partly awake. Everything hustle and ami
nation. To give a delicious nudnce OF object to
the journey, Uncle Eben conceived the idea of bal
lasting pleasure chariot with about forty BUSH
els of small apples for the temperance distillery
and granger apple jack works. To carry out this
happy conception, il was found necessary to pick
had race to see which could pick up
the most, or, rather, Uncle Eben had q race
to see which could pick up the most, and l
had race to see which could pick up the
fewest. Uncle Eben warned me that l must be
careful of my clothes and | warned him that he
must be careful, too. then took critical look at
his raiment and went behind tree and laughed
till / fell down. But | gradually recovered my
selt-control, and after about half an hour reap
peared, replying to a question as to what l had
been laughing at, that had happened to remember
q joke told me by q man in town. Then when
Uncle Eben asked me what the joke was, told him
that had forgotten it. So this passed off very
nicely.
But my trifing gave uncle great lead in the
gathering race, that at the end the record
stood thirty I've to i've in his favor He said that
1t took kind of knack to pick up apples fast, and
/ thought 1t took good deal more valuable knack
not to pick them up at all.
BY two In the afternoon all was in readiness, and
then up-ho for the cider mill, five miles away O.

At the mill we found social throDg of two men

THE HERD LAW

The petitions which have been circul
ated asking the County Commissioners tc
put the herd law in force in Ford county
were informally presented to the board
on Monday. and the Commission r
agreed to adjourn their present session
until April %. when the matter will be
formally presented. The petitions bear
the names of 1922 voters of Ford county.
and we know of other petitions which
bear many names which have not yet
been handed in. Still there re mains much
work to do. The total vote last fall was
about 1900; this will require about 1900
signatures to the petitions before the
board can order the law enforced Dodge
City has not as yet been canvassed and
it will be an easy matter to secure the ad-
ditional names needed right here, but
this must be done by some of the repre-
sentative farmers of the county. The
matter is SO nearly accomplished now
that we hope it will not be allowed to
fail for want.of little needed work at
the last moment.
