every scientific farmer who has
attempted to farm any of the
land in my section of the coun-
try. This man accomplished
what he did on less than eight
inches of rain. The winter was
unusually dry. and he had almost
given up hope when the spring
also came without rain. for as
general thing that section of the
country i blessed with rain in
spring. and the scientific farmer
can begin his planting then with
the understanding and know
ledge that there will be frequent
showers in July and August.
He got a bad start and yet made
a phenomenal record. 1t was
the second day of June, 1908,
before sufficient rain fell upon
the Reeves farm TO enable him
TO begin his planting. Several
heavy rains followed, and in the
sandy, clay mixed soil the seed
came up and the young plants
grew almost like Jacks bean
stalk, and shot heavenward un-
der the bountiful doWnpour and
the coaxing of the sun. While

clever enough to arrange spell for that besides there
would be the sport for the baron of shooting the bubble
The next day, the baron, his band and the bad agi
clan appeared opposite Grosshufeen and nothing
but big fence. They were rather disappointed but
climbed trees and got view of the bubble which
was then chrome yellow. The baron took crossbow
and prepared to shoot.
But meanwhile the good magieian-who was much
pleased at living among honest people-had not been
idle He had devised an enormous bellows, and when
he the baron aim his crossbow at the bubble, he
told the villagers to get ready to blow it.
The baron fredia bolt which struck the bubble. 1t

bellows with great force and the vapor foated over

This attracted big crowd, and when the burgo-
master thought the people had looked at the bubble
long enough he made little speech in which he told
them that it filled with poison, and liable to
burst at any moment Then they all ran away. The
next day the magician made the bubble green the third
day blue and long the bubble and the colors held
out the people kept coming back
In the meantime the robber baron was getting i'm
patient not only because Hans was learning oratory
but because he heard nothing from Grosshufeten He
called the bad magician to him and told him that if he
could not suggest way to bring the villagers
terms he should be thrown into the bubble The bad
magician was greatly alarmed at the barons threat
and thought as hard he could which was not very
hard At last he suggested that the baron and his band
go to the opposite side of the lake. shoot the bubble
and allow the gas to float over Grosshufeten Then
when the villagers overcome, they could take
their treasures, which he would transport to the noun
