DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love Story Written by Small Boy at
Least Brought Things to
Happy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general,
Jerome S. McWade, the well-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at a recent
dinner:
AT the approach of Valentine day
last year ! offered prize of five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. l have one of the stories here.
and am going to read it to you
Mr.. McWade then read:
"A poor man fell in love with lady
whose mother was rich toy dealer.
THE poor man could not marry the
rich lady. because he had no money.
"A villain then offered him $50 if he
would become drunkard.
The poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed. but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
mo. | will not become a drunkard,
even for great riches.
On the way home he found a bag
of gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding. and
the next day they had twins.

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food ?

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food ?
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is SO because
he has n great variety to select from.
He shsnld, however. use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should Increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves. their children and the
farm hands. 81

Remedy for ScaIy leos,

The disease Of scaly legs is caused
by a mite which burrows under the
scales OF the feet and shanks and is
considered to be infectious. but does
not spread rapidly. 1t is noticed most
frequently in old fowls, says the Cul-
tivator. The scales can be removed
by soaking the feet and shanks in
warm. soapy water and by rubbing or
brushing them of with toothbrush
or nailbrush. After the scales have
been removed apply sulphur ointment
or equal parts OF melted lard and ker-
osene. The frequent application OF
kerosene has also been found effectual
without the previous soaking in wa
ter.

GOOD FEED RACK FOR SHEEP

The accompanying illustration will
give an idea of very good plan Of
feeding rack for about 16 sheep. This
is quite easily made and has the ad-
vantage of giving the animals
chance to clean up all the fodder
placed before them without straining
to reach the last Of 1t. as is the case
in a wide bottom rack. In this style
the fodder settles to the bottom as It
is eaten out The rack has an open

DRIVER BUYS FAMOUS FARM
Former Athlete to Preserve Scene of
"The Shepherd Of the Hills"

William Lloyd Driver, of Carthage,
a former student of the University of
Missouri, has purchased the old
Matthews farm near Carthage, about
which the plot in The Shepherd of
the Hills" is woven. Driver is physi-
cal director at Washburn College, ut
Topeka, Kas. He and Mrs. Driver in.
tend to make it their summer home.
The story of the old farm has been
read by thousands since the publica-
ton of the books by Harold Bell
Wright. The Calling of Dan Matth-
|ews" and other of Wright's books
have their scenes laid here. On this
place Dan Matthew'S Sammy"
"Old Man Matthews" and other char
acters spent their lives. The old
cabin located on the hill near the
group of pines, "Sammy's cabin" and
other places told of in the book are
still to be seen there. Just east OF
the home is Dewey Bald, where Sam
my and Dan Matthews spent much OF
their time and around it winds the
path that is described as nobody
knows how Old On the west edge
of the farm is Mutton Hollow" and
the other interesting places.
The farm is one of the interesting
places of the state, and is known by
hundreds who visited the Presbyter-
ian and Y. M. c. A. outing camps last
year. being located seven miles west
and at the foot of Dewey Bald. which
lean be seen for miles around. The
story is largely from life, many of
the characters still living in that
part Of the country. though not
known by the names used in the
book.
Mr.. and Mrs. Driver spent many
days about the old farm last summer
The two finally decided to purchase
the place and make it their summer
home, preserving as well as possible
all the historic spots.

These questions are being asked by

This fact, more clearly than any

argue that little else could be ex-
