When Jane got back from her trip to
Baltimore she vowed and declared
Sunny Knoll was plenty good enough
for her After a weeks absence she
was so anxious to get home she refused
to make the trip by boat. SO came over
by train. 1t was blazing hot day.
Margery was cross and tired and Jane
was all tuckered out.
There isn't anything beautiful about
our house. as houses go. 1t Is not Of
an architectural style that reminds you
of Chevy Chase or Cleveland Park or
others of the detached house suburbs
of Washington. There is an old picket
fence in front of it, with about half the
pickets missing. The lawn wouldn't
pass muster at all where lawns are
things of pride and tender care. Last
year it grow up to ragweed and bur
dock, and is SO rough it has to be cut
with a scythe instead of a lawn mower.
The house is weatherbeaten and badly
in need of paint. The wooden support
of the porch has rotted away at one
corner, and at that corner the floor
says dolefully. If you have driven
past our place when motoring in the
country. as ii is very likely you may
have done. no doubt you have wonder
ell what manner of folks are content
TO live in a house so destitute of at
fractions.
Perhaps you even had feeting i'm
pulse of pity for the "unfortunates.
If you did. it was very generous of
YOU, I'm sure. But the trouble is that
YOU were motoring by. If you had been
walking, now. you would have had
time to notice what grateful shade is
made nv three magnificent old
maple trees

OF agricultural text books and other farm
literature. It was much like my boytsh
perusal Of Gibbons Rome. hadn't the
rudiments Of farm knowledge necessary
to q comprehension of what I read. This
fall and winter, when the evenings
lengthen and there Is less outside work
to do, am going over those books again
and with q seed bed" prepared by what
I have learned this summer. they ought
to help q lot toward the realization Of
my ambition to be farmer.
Some Of the most successful Of our un-
dertakings I was opposed to and fought
against them until forced by circum-
stances-or by Jane-to take the step. The
COW Is an illustration. I didn't want
COW. didn't want to undertake the care
Of one. But Jane used moral suasion
and employed stratagem and finally had
her way Today the COW is our ''one
best bet" I wouldn't any more think Of
trying to farm without her than without
soil. She promises to be the best GUS
toner I'll have for anything I can grow.
and, above all. she isn't soil robber.
Every bit of fertility used UP in growing
STUFF for her to eat will 60 right back

From a Mans Viewpoint.

Most people find it relatively easy to
talk of self, and know I could write
volumes of what the country has come
to mean to me. But I shall confine the
autobiography to few items most
pertinent to the subject. I don't have
the headaches nor the indigestion from
have the blues. My hands, to which
used to devote considerable care and
of which wasn't exactly ashamed, are
tanned and rough and calloused. and
blackened and splintered. And still
am not ashamed of my hands. have
been SO tired / could hardly drag one
foot after the other, but have learned
to enjoy being tired that way. After
bath, even in a laundry tub, there
may be had only at the cost of aching
muscles. Athletes. no doubt, experience
it. but I had never been an athlete.
So much for the physical rewards.
for reckoning until the crops are har-
vested and the books balanced. But
the mental profits already are apprais-
able. I have achieved peace of mind.
not yet ready to say that 1t would be
prudent to give up my salary and turn
wholly farmer. but I do know where
living may be had outside the gov
ernment service. In the past there al
ways stalked the grim specter of want
should mischance separate me from
the public pay roll. All my working
years have been spent in the service
of Uncle Sam. and in serving him I
have acquired no talent that would
mean a livelihood were forced to seek
employment in private enterprise.
knowledge Of my incapacity made me
a coward at heart and ate up my self
respect. have endured from my su-
periors things that made me lust for
murder. and knowledge that I dared
not resent them drove the iron into my
soul.

What It Means to Boys.
Then there are the boys. In town Jim
and Ned had no conception Of industry.
They had no chance to learn It. They
did their work in school. but there was
nothing else for them to do. I thought
little Of 1t then. but I realize now It ID
not good that boys should grow up
without certain duties to perform. It
makes them aimless and restless and az
fords no opportunity for them to learn
responsibility.
