Miss Sparrow's Diagnosis

Miss Sparrow's Diagnosis
Eureka was on hand bright and
early the next day and IL didn't
take me long to see that she was
worth her salt. She took hold
like a good one and had breakfast
and a mighty good breakfast
ready right on time.
And from then on the Natural
life was easy for all of us, for
quite a spell. The new girl was a
wonder, so far as doing work was
concerned.
She and I had some great con-
fabs when we was alone together.
She asked l don't know how many
questions about Hartley and Van
Brunt; why they was living this
way and how they used to live
and all.
Eureka didn't take any stock
in Hartley's being down our way
for his health. She said she had
made up her mind what was the
matter with him. What ails
him." says she, rs Girl"
"Girl?" says I.
"Yup. He's in love-"
I set back and looked at her.

about Agnes Page or the busted
engagement.
'Twa'n't so very long after this

from Agnes.

PRESENTS BOUGHT FOR SHOW
Exploiting Ones Own Vanity In Be-
stoWal of Gifts Is Poor
Policy.

The most miserable Christmas pres
ent, the kind that no human being is
rich enough to afford, is that which
is bought to make show, to exploit
ones own vanity.
When you are tempted to buy a
show off" present, remember that the
recipient has some rights. One who
understands will be made unhappy
by that kind of gift. You know your
self that when you receive a pres
ent that represents a great sacrifice
on the part of the giver 1t makes
you feel miserable, even when the
right spirit Is behind it.
The cost in money is about the
poorest of measures for any kind Of
a gift. The thoughtfulness in it, the
recognition of desire for things un-
asked for, the affection that goes with
it, counts for much more. Every
Christmas each of us receives mes
sage that means more than the most
expensive gift. Yet we forget that
sometimes in the perplexing selection
of presents for others.-Woman's
Home Companion.

1t was the theory of David Rankin

1t was the theory of David Rankin
and it is being adhered to in the
operation of the Rankin farms today,
that too many farmers sell too much
raw material and not enough Of the
finished product. 1t is this theory
that has made the farm a cattle farm.
Mr.. Rankin was once asked why he
always fed his corn and sold the
finished rather than the raw product;
and he said:
First, find it profitable to feed
corn, and secondly, l gain an i'm
mense amount of fertilizer. Thus l
leave my farm as rich as when l
found it,
The eleventh commandment of the
late David Rankin was "Thou shalt
not sell corn. 1t is being followed
in the operation of the farm today
The Rankin farms today are own
ed by the two sons and two daugh-
ters of David Rankin. They are w.
F. Rankin and John A. Rankin, of
Tarkio, Mo-; Mrs. ]. F. Hanna, of
Riverside, Calf, and Mrs. NJ. B.
Griffin, of Tarkio, Mo. The farms are
operated by corporation capitalize
ed at $4,000, of which w. F. Ran
kin is president, John A. Rankin is
vice president and J. w. Hanna Sec
rotary.
The farm is not as large by more
than two thousand acres as it was
when David Rankin died in 1909. One
thousand acres were sold last sum-
mer and one thousand acres year
ago. One of the axioms of David
Rankin was: Never sell the farm y
But the heirs of Mr.. Rcnkin are try
ing to make the farm more compact,
so that it can be operated with
greater economy, and eventually it
probably will be reduced to about
fifteen thousand acres and divided
among the heirs and by them dis
posed of as they see fit. If the Mis-
souri, farm acreage has been reduced
the loss has been made up in other
states. The Rankin estate recently
purchased forty-five hundred acres
of land near Liberal, Kansas, and
about nine thousand acres near
O'Neil Neb.

Supreme Court Reverses Auto Head
light Decision.

A new precedent in Iowa autOmo-
bile laws was established several
days ago when the supreme court OF
Iowa reversed the Page county dis
trict court in the case of the City of
Shenandoah versus E. A. Reed. In
the same decision also were en-
braced the similar cases against
Reuben Gait and Frank Lavender,
who following Mr.. Reeds lead had
also carried their cases up.
The suits were started over a year
ago when Ebert Reed was arrested
and fined $40 in the Superior court
for driving his automobile after sun
down without the large gas lamps
in front being lighted. Both Reuben
Gait and Frank Lavender were also
arrested on a similar charge and
given the same fine.
Mr.. Reed took an appeal to the
district court, contending that the
letter of the Iowa automobile law
was complied with in that the kero-
sene side lamps on his car were
lighted and that they were sufticl-
ent according to the law that re-
quired the front lights of an auto to
be lighted within an hour after sun
down. The district court reduced
the fine to 81 but affirmed Judge
Castles decision otherwise.
In the supreme court it was decid-
ed that to comply with the state
statutes it was sufficient to have the
sidelamps lighted in the event that
they were situated on the machine in
front of where the driver sits.
