Stella Mayhem is fat-just plain
fat. This is the term she herself ap-
plies to her avoirdupois, without try
ing to disguise it as plump" Or

him in the face, spiketailed
whiskers and shaggy hair, an old

through the crown, and a facial
expression Of the utmost as

He is on the farm, in the

he is high In the professions and
his voice is herd in the halls of
congress; he dispenses justice
from the judicial bench and rep
resents his country in foreign
chimes; he is digging the wealth
from the bowels of the earth,
and searching the heavens for
the words of the unknown. In
few years intellect, honesty
and logged determination have
carried him to highest seats of

And while some of the "ru hes"

wider fields, others have remain
ed on the farm-the one class of
people upon whom all the world
depends, and without which the
people of the earth would cease
to exist.
He still owns his farm but it
is paid for, is well stocked, and
the latest improved machinery
is everywhere in evidence.
The "rube" of the farm is
dressed in expensive clothing Of
the latest sensible pattern, drives
his own automobile, owns stock
in banks, and puts his surplus
wealth out at interest on long
time mortgages.
His sons and daughters are in
the schools, the colleges the uni
versities, and he and his wife
enjoy life as the most indie
pendent and carefree mortals on
earth.
Hard times come and 90, but
they do do not bother the "rube"
of today. He has enough and to
spare, and his scientific methods
of farming are yearly adding to
his store of wealth.
