Y. The Coming of Uncle Homer and "7he Riddles
EDWARD w. TOWNSEND
Drawings by ]. v. McFall

TVHE coming home of Paul and Virginia was the
event of most Importance in the lives of the
Courtnevs since their retirement from the
stage. The children had been school bred,
might almost say; for their parents had little
of them, except their yearly visits the home of
Betty'S uncle, since they old enough to be
placed in children schools This was the elders
plan not to let the juniors know of the parents pro-
fesSion.
1t was Uncle Homer, brother of Betty's mother,
who made this plan easy to carry out. He was
prosperous farmer with a romance, an old bachelor
who delighted in the part he had in the early
of Bettys children who thought nothing strange of
the parents long absences and rowing lives
Uncle Homer rich; but he had not performed
a miracle,-he had not made riches by farming,
though he raised the best apples in the State. A
summer colony had settled his farm, had
grown, become fashionable and at last had made his
land SO valuable that when he sold all but little
patch" of ten Che said he couldn't turn round
ess) for villa lots, he found himself rich. He
disconnected for the first time in his life; for he
had not enough to do. So he readily accepted. Bet
tvs invitation to visit her when he brought the
children home. Uncle Homer was sxty-five; but
had spent much of his life looking up into his be-
loved apple trees that he straight his
granddaughter Paul. and almost active.
Betty looked on him asset. She very
fond of him in natural way; but apart from that
she considered him valuable for her part in
life.
It's like this, Dick she said to her husband:

Just as your being related to the Courtney Smiths
gave us good entrance, Uncle Homer helps us to
keep the stage. He is just the kind of man to
make hit with the push around here. He owns
land, he's sort of gentleman farmer,-that is, he
has the goods and is educated, and that is the line
these people stand for. / notice that they don t
fall to the distinguished professional relations a
little bit. I've cast out tmid line two about
people belonging to who the real things in
the law and medicine, and have limited at a
cousin who writes like Shakespeare; but it was
all to the frost. They shy at genius. They seem
to be afraid that genius might come and talk
shop, and then they would be babes lost in the tall
timber for they know just nothing at ALL and try to
forget what they do know. The moment brought
Uncle Homer l could see him making good from
orchestra to gallery. Why, the very first rise
got out of the Van Alstynes when old man
Van heard that Uncle Homer had been chairman
of the Committee Roads and Highways in his
Board Of What do you call it?
Freeholders,' explained Dick. Uncle Homer
has been the boss gazaboo of his county roads for
two three centuries.
Well" continued Betty, when old man Van
heard that he uddled up to uncle and liked him
through the county, getting his advice roads,
and the first dinner invitation got from the Vans
came from that hike. You see unce's no Rube

FARMER UNION RENT
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND sEC-
 RETARY COOK IN QUARREL.
Contest Grew Out Of Demand on Messrs. Cook and Parker to
 Dispense With Clerical Hire
 Which They Refused to Do.

Birmingham, May 1s.-(Special. )-- The Alabama State Farmers Union is rent into two contending factions as the result of quarrel between the Ex- ecutiYe Committee and the secretary, B. J Cook.
 The quarrel eliminated last week in the deposition of President CDr, ) J., F. Duncan and the election of J. M. Pear- son. The resignation of MT. Cook was demanded and r. F. Johnson was named as secretary and treasurer Dr. Peerson has announcAde from- Florence that he will make his headquarters in that town. Mir. Cook and Dr. Duncan have possession of the offices in the Commercial Club building and will not yield them. short of mandamus
 The annual election Is to be held at the convention in Birmingham on Au- gust 1s, according to the Executive Committee and unless there is a prior settlement, the fight will be bitter.
 The trouble between the Executive Committee and the old officers arose over Mir. Cooks conduct of headquar- ters. .sa.
 In the Farmers Union Guide, issue of May 13, the Executive Committee makes the statement that MT. Cook and Mfr. Parker were each requested to dispense with one clerk. since the business of the union did not warrant the usual expense This Mir. Cook and Mir. Par ker refused to do, claiming that the clerks were needed. They included their salaries in the expense for May. The Executive Committee refused to allow them.
 The Executive Committee reports that Mir Cook is engaged in writing a his tory of the union and in doing other outside work, so that the added clerks are made necessary. The committee further alleges that Mir. Cook is con- nected with a publishing company and has contrived to swell the printing bills of the union in favor of this com pany.
 The Guide Publishing Company con- tracted a debt to the union when MT. Cook was it's president. It is alleged that he arranged to pay this debt in printing and that the excessive print ing bill rendered to the Executive Com-. mittee is due to this arrangement.
 It is generally known that Mir. Cook considers the election of the present Executive Committee fraudulent. He refused to give out an interview Tues day. this being contrary to the con- stitution of the union.
 It seems that the expenses of the business department for the last quaf1 ter. $500, did not balance the receipts, which were only $500.
 This is named as the necessity for cutting expenses.
 The Executive Committee Is composed of J F Barker. Chairman; J. c. Hicks, Secretary; Robert F. orr, Ben L. Hill' and J. J. Robinson. Jr'

CLEARED AWAY. Proper Food Put the Troubles Away

Our own troubles always seem more severe than any others. But when a man is unable to eat even a light breakfast. for years, without severe distress, he has trouble enough.
 It is small wonder he likes to tell of food which cleared away the trou- bles.
 q am glad of the opportunity to. tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me" writes a N. H. man. For many years was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering.
 After eating I would suddenly be seized with a terrible attack of collie and vomiting. This would be fol- lowed by headache and misery that would sometimes last a week or two, leaving me so weak could hardly sit up or walk.
 since I began 10 eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old trou- bles. I usually eat Grape Nuts food one or more times a day taking 1t at the beginning of the meal. Now can eat almost anything l want with out trouble.
 When I began to use Grape-Nuts I was way under my usual weight. now I weigh 30 pounds more than I ever weighed in my life. and sa glad to speak of the food that has work ed the change"
