Hllllus
Thus pleaded the original invita-
tions sent out by Mr. and Mrs. Scott
Loughary for Friday, August 23, al
which they introduced Mrs. George M
Munger, of Los Angeles.
Great gnarled, towering oaks, weird
camp fires, rustic benches, and a per-
feet maze of beautiful gowns amidst
enchanting nature, was the Camille
Corot setting for the woodland party.
At the gate of the lane leading to
the delightful country home of the
Lougharys one turned the handle of
an old grinding stone, and a cowbell
attachment announced the approach
of the visitor. Then one entered the
fairy palace. On each picket up the
long lane reposed grinning, mocking
jack lantern. Around the spacious
yard the pickets were adorned with
candles, and the whole scene repre-
sented an electrical illumination, with
ghostly shadows, walls of hoot owls,
laughter and revelry which took one
back to the days of Nero, when he
sat in state and watched the burning
of Rome.
big bonfire roared in the midst of
the grove. On dainty tables were the
fruits of the tropics. Supper was
served in cafeteria style, a unique fea
ture of which was the corn bake.
Each guest, armed with a willow
wand, bearing an ear of corn wrapped
entertained about so guests Saturday

Then came the fat mans race, and
the potato race, and all sorts of races,
which were entered into with the vim
of school children by the society men
and matrons.
The ballet burlesque, in which
Lloyd Soehren "balleted," was a

GIRL COULD NOT SLEEP

by unequal circulation of the blood.

good advice, for she says in a recent

Letty's
 Strategy

In the cool, vigorous air of June morning. Lefty sat on the brow of a rocky hill that looked down upon a narrow winding river. She had come here to be alone and meditate-some- thing very unusual for Lefty. because she was an athletic young woman with tendency to do things and not to dream them. She was considered a mannish girl. but something very femi- nine had come to her Of late. She was in love with Griffith Kennedy.
 At first this undisguised affection had amused Lefty; gradually she had come to like it. And now, she admit ted. she craved it and yearned for it.
 Two or three times she knew that he had been on the very verge of a proposal but obstacles had arisen to prevent his speech. She had been content to wait. She knew the psy- chological moment had only been post poned; but last night at a dance, he had held that pretty, frivolous, cooing voiced Maude Nelson very close as he guided her carefully over the crowded floor.
 At this sight a fierce jealousy had crept into Letty's heart and she had come out here alone to have 1t out with herself.
 That silly, little, scheming thing shall not entrap him!" she resolved. ''Why is it men care for that clinging vine sort!"
 Her memory then reverted to the first time she had been conscious of his working up to a proposal. This had been late in the preceding Au- tumn when they were walking in the country. A runaway team had come plunging toward them. Lefty had for gotten Grifs very existence. She was conscious only of the white, terrified faces of the women and children in the wagon. She had rushed on ahead, them firmly until Grif came up to them.
 Everyone had praised her coolness and bravery. but Grif had been strangely silent After that she had thought him i'll at ease in her pres ence

No earth road can be maintained in good condition unless 1t be so con- structed as to drain we'll and unless 1t be kept free from ruts and holes
 The best method of maintaining an earth road, especially a prairie road, is by the systematic use of the road drag. A sand road is never good un- der any circumstances, but certainly Is not improved by crowning. A sand road is at its best when moist. so it should be left fiat No one wants a sand road, so. if possible, clay should be added to, and mixed with the sand. making what is known as a sand clay road.
 The old way. and it is used today by many. of filling a mud hole with brush with little earth on top, cannot be too strongly condemned. and Is only permissible in cases of emergency. when 1t Is impossible to drain the hole or to get sand or stone to fill it. The ovefseer or foreman should in dry weather center his work on such places until the road is raised to a sufficient height to drain well. Many overseers have brush hauled two miles to fill a mud hole, when sand is with in shoveling distance of 1t.
 If farmers do not take community interest in the improvement of the roads and put their shoulders to the wheel we will surely remain stuck in the mud"

post, or some other consideration, makes the plan impracticable. The following method (shown in Fig. 9 has been successful where it was i'm possible to dig deeply. Three posts were set at distance of ten or twelve feet apart. Then the brace and guy wires were attached to the second and third posts in the manner usually em- ployed between the corner and second posts. A guy wire was run from the top of the second post to the corner post at the ground and a stout board or 2x4 nailed to the upper ends of the first and second posts. The wire Of the fence was then stretched to the second post and wrapped around it. The space between that and the cor ner post was closed with fencing boards or wire, as was most conve- nient.

These wires are then twisted between the posts to make them tight and hold firmly in place about the brace and corner post. A corner so set cannot pull up. However, as the best gal vanized wire will rust off in a few years in the ground the life of such a corner is not so long as may be de- sired.
