MAN THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
Fortune Was Good to Youngsters
Eager for the Delights of the
Moving Picture Theater.

"Going in?" queried the small boy
excitedly.
His question was put to the elderly
pedestrian. Behind the boy came
other boys, all peering eagerly into
the pedestrians puzzled face.
They hung to his footsteps until he
found himself, little further on, in
the midst of a numerous crowd OF
youngsters. Each boy clamored for
the pedestrian to accept a five-cent
piece.
What is all this?" demanded the
pedestrian sharply.
1--WE are too young to go in alone"
volunteered a ready spokesman. III
you will buy our tickets for us we can
go in with you"
Then came sudden light and the
old man smiled broadly. He went to
the ticket window of an adjacent
moving picture theater, where he
paused to. count faces.
Nine tickets" he said.

objected the ticket man. "Are those
little people with your"
"They are" declared the old man.

explained that the judge was busy
for a few minutes and asked them to
be seated. He did not know If the
men cared to be bothered with mere
women on such day.
When Williams announced that Miss

Gloria's admiration of her fathers
powers did not lessen upon their bet
ter acquaintance. Strange as it may
seem, her loyalty to him was strength
ened by each turn of fortunes wheel
which thrust her back upon herself
The frivolous veneer in her nature
was being worn away, and the real
Gloria was beginning to appear
Kerr's was indeed a powerful person
atty, and Gloria was coming to see
why he was so successful. A woman's
intuition and not an understanding of
the facts in the case was the girls tu-
tor. She Rugged to her heart the COM
parison of Joe Wright and her father
In the younger man she saw some of
the traits which made her father a
power-magnetism, reserve strength,
and logical mind Wright had that
and more: he had all the social
graces. To her, however, his great
est appeal was that he was youth,
eternal youth, and love.
What Gloria. could not understand
was why Wright was avoiding her In
her ears she could hear him whisper
as he had that night:
Spring on the hills, Beloved,
On the side of meadowed slope;
And Love in our hearts, Beloved,
Love, and Spring and Hope.
Now was spring here, and hope and
the promise of love, but he did not
come. After her return from st.
Louis she had waited in vain. Then
she had asked to have him invited to
dinner. When Mrs. Gilbert telephoned
him he refused owing to press of
business, but asked to speak to Clio
ria. She came to the telephone and
they had a pleasant chat. He told her
that he was busy finishing some mag
azine articles which the editor was
pressing him for, and that he was
working night and day. For the time

cost about $500 and will last several
years. They are made to carry any
weight from one thousand to ten thou
sand pounds.
Some growers have found that the
bolster spring makes a great deal of
difference in the draft on the team
for the load is easier drawn. 1t GER
tainly saves many hard jerks on the
horses, makes riding more pleasant
and the wagon last for a considerably
longer time. When the wheel hits a
solid obstacle the springs respond and
therefore no hard knock is given the
holsters or other parts of the wagon.
Some old users of the springs say
they will save enough on the wagon
alone in three years to pay for the
springs and they should last ten years
or more. Another advantage in favor
of the bolster springs is it keeps the
load level, prevents it from side slip
ping, equalizes the load and saves
smashed wheels and broken hounds.

oxen, half a mile long without a single
break in the sod. The shape of the
mold board on the stubble plow deter
mines very largely it's efficiency in
pulverizing and loosening the soil. The
greater the turn of the mold board,
the more the soil must be bent and
hence broken or pulverized.
The plow with a steeply turned mold
board does more work and hence will
pull heavier and would not scour or
shed so well in a heavy adobe soil as
a straighter mold board. The charac-
ter of the soil, also the condition as
to wet or dry, must be considered in
selecting the plow. The depth to
which the land should be plowed needs
the greatest consideration. The COM
mon practice in the prairie regions has
been to break the sod very shallow
early in the season and then backset
in the late fall or early spring but we
are getting around to more practical
basis Those who can afford it are
having the sod or stubble turned from
ten to eighteen deep which is the only
proper thing to do. One has only to
look at a crop growing on a field
plowed in this way to be most thor
oughly converted to the idea.-Field

Tightening up the Loads.
E. ]. Buchanan.

The greater proportion of the fruit
grown in this country must be hauled
from varying distances to the shipping
stations and the condition of the roads
as well as the conveyance has a good
deal to do with the proposition of get
and jarring means bruised and crush
ed fruit much of which can be avoided
by using bolster springs. In the alb
sence of auto trucks all fruit growers
should possess spring wagons made
especially for the purpose for they
carry any and all fruit and vegetables
safely a good long distance; but for
the general farmer who is not able TO
own one besides his wagon for heavy
work, the bolster spring is an econom-
ieal contrivance as it will carry any
distance and deliver stuff in as good
condition as the spring wagon.
We live only three miles from town
and with us as well as few of the
neighbors the bolster spring has given
better results from an economical
than any other means OF
protection. All the peaches of which
a large acreage is to be moved; all the
apples, cherries and berries go to mar
ket on bolster springs. A delivery
wagon is too small to carry a load
sufficient to move the crops at best
profit. Any one who has ever tried
these springs for moving heavy loads
of fruit finds these springs satisfac-
tory and cheap enough. They only

The first act OF ordinary ranching
is the plowing or breaking up of the
soil. The ultimate end of all farming
operations is of course the growing of
profitable crops, hence every opera
ton must help towards this end.
Flowing the land accomplishes many
things The present growth is usually
DESTROYED by being turned under and
the processes of decomposition of the
matter turned under thereby fastened.
The soil being loosened and broken up
is exposed to the elements. The cir
culation of air through the plowed
soil is very beneficial and essential
in making available plant food and in
promoting the termination and growth
of plant life.
Flowing prevents evaporation after
the surplus moisture from the surface
has escaped, as capillarity is broken in
the furrow slice and the moisture is
not drawn from below as it would be
in the unplowed soil. The root sys-
tenn of cultivated plants must pene-

elements necessary to their growth.
Flowing loosens the soil and makes
this possible. At the higher attitudes
with their short seasons, the question
of using implements that will prepare
the soil in such manner as to promote
the most rapid growth and maturity
possible is vitally essential The ques-
tion of seed that is adapted and accli-
mated is also of vital importance, but
the soil must have such preparations
as will enable the seed to grow and
develope properly.
The proper time to plow is largely
determined by circumstances rather
than-b by the condition of the soil, espec-
tally in the region of the big grain
farms. Every day after harvest that
is not needed for other work must be
utilized in blowing for next years crop,
whether or not the soil is in condition
and the work can go on until the
ground is frozen. The action OF freez-
ing and thawing or of getting wet by
showers and drying will in most cases
overcome any damage done by plowing
when not in condition. Flowing TO ac-
complish the maximum result is an act
that could be studied with as much
interest and scientific deliberation as
operating on patient who may have
a complication of diseases.
A great variety of plows are con-
structed for various conditions of soil
and for accomplishing various results.
The kind of plow to use can be deter
mined only on the spot. Plows are
generally classified as sod plows-
with long. slightly turned mold boards
and as stubble plows, having shorter
and more abruptly turned mold boards.

ing furrow with a breaker drawn by

USING THE SHOTGUN.
Proper Way to Pull Trigger Is First
Essential.

An axiom Of shotgun shooting is that
the arm is never to be held still upon
anything-in this differing radically
from the rifle. The trigger should be
pressed, therefore, without checking
the regular rising movement of the bar
rels, the pulling and upward movement
Of the sight being so well timed that
the discharge will take place just be-
fore the center is covered.
Press the trigger, not by any con
scious crooking Of the forefinger, but
by tightening the grip Of both hands
the one pushing forward and the other
drawing back. This is not only the
right manner of pulling trigger on a
shotgun, but Tightening the grip of the
hands enables the gunner to catch the
recoil just as the blow of fist is ward
ed off before it gathers momentum.

which b. represents is sound and a
brood mare. but these representations
do not prove true. What is AS rem
edy?
In a majority of the states. includ-
ing Pennsylvania, buyers proper
remedy upon a breach of warranty Is
by an action for damages in which he
may recover the difference between
the value of the horse in her actual
condition and what she wonld have
been worth If she had been as war

rover the purchase money.
Fruit Trees Overhanging Boundary.
Where a fruit tree grows on AS
land, but the branches extend over the
boundary line upon B. so as to shade
and otherwise interfere with BIS en-
joyment of his land, has B. the right
to cut these overhanging branches?
Also. does the fruit growing on the
oyerhanging branches belong to B.?
Since the entire trunks of the trees
grow on AS land, A. owns the trees,
including the overhanging branches
and the fruit growing on them. To
the extent, however. that the branches
sverhang BIS land they constitute
nuisance. and B. has the legal right to
abate the nuisance by trimming the
branches Off up to the boundary line.

what Constitutes a Prize Baby.

The "Better Babies" movement 10 prob
ably the most effective activity OF the
present day for child welfare and pre-
ventive medicine in the home. The
Womdn's Home Companion, which has
backed this movement from the Begin
ming, includes in a recent number a
department for "Better Babies" in which
DR.. Roger II. bennett, a New York expert,
contributes valuable and suggestive arti-
Gle entitled, SHOW to Make Babies Better"
Following is an extract from the article:
"a prize baby is correctly propcrtioned
as to weight, height, circumference of
head, chest and abdomen, and length OF
arm and leg; it has good muscular devel-
opment and circulation, breathes and d.
gests its food properly, has firm, smooth
flesh, possesses the use of all its senses,
and has mental development in keeping
with its age and physical development. A
prize baby is healthy and happy baby,
even though it may not be beautiful
baby. Among thousand points, regular
features count five, but a well-developed
chest in which are lodged sound heart and
lungs is worth a hundred points.
1.-THE six most important considerations
in making babies better are: The food
they eat; the air they breathe; the sleep
they get; the exercise they are allowed;
the clothing they wear; and the intelli-
gence and common sense of their parents
at every turn in life."
