fresh eggs, they should accompany
the other good things as a matter OF
course
Hubby was content to suffer in the
heat of the city, sleep on lounge on
the screened back porch hearing that
the family was comfortably situated
and enjoying the benefits of the coun.
try to the full. It's an unlucky omen
to the wife If her little daughter offers
to relieve her for once from writing
the daily letter home to papa. Chill
dren are too honest to be deceptive. A
single glance through it's pages

are not having bit of good time" the
letter read. THE four of US have a
big room divided off by curtains. The
sun shines into our eyes through the
thin curtains early in the morning and
we can't sleep any more. It's dread
fully hot because we have to keep the
windows tight shut, if we opened
them the skeeters would come in and
blister us. There isn't a spear of
grass here, all clay, so we cannot run
about the grounds. We were to have
eggs for breakfast for the first time,
but over night they turned into the
cutest, dearest little yellow chicks.
There's a doctor here who says milk
would put US all on our feet again,
but no one will sell ma any. Ma al
ways wanted to get nice and thin;
you wouldn't know her, she's got SO
skinny. Bobby and l used to love
homiuy but we don't like it any more;
it's hom1ny and sorghum for break
fast, sorghum and hominy for lunch,
and fried hominy crumpets with
prunes for dinner, or else turnips and
boiled cabbage.
1--WE haven't had a change of dresses,
for mother won't unpack the trunks.
There's little boy here with dread
fully red face. Bobby was playing
with him a long time before ma saw
them. She was awfully scared, be-
Iieving the boy was coming down with
the measles, but he was only in pain
from eating little green apples off the
trees in the orchard. He did want
fruit so much.
How l wish we were back in our
nice, cool home where we could have
our own rooms, and soft, white little
beds, and all we wanted of good things
to eat. You can't come any too soon
to suit Bobby and me-to take us
away from here"
The husband and father arrived on
the very next train. 1t is rarely that
the family that has suffered so many
hardships insists upon finding another
boarding place, all are usually we'll
pleased to cut the vacation short, and
get back to the comforts and joys of
home, sweet home.
Moral: Don't take the alluring ads
about summer board for truth. In
spect the places where you are to take
the children, If 1t be possible. All is
not gold that glitters.

It thoroughly. and the question always
arises as to how thoroughly the sam
ping is to be done-that is. how close
together the sample pits shall be dug.
As these holes are dug by hand the
cost is rather high. SO that the success
of the sampling depends largely on
the good judgment of the man in
charge Of the field work. OF late air
drills have been tried for the sampling
and also for the breaking Of the

Melancholia does not mean depres-

pressed as it is possible to be and
still not have melaneholia. Melan-
cholia is dependency on account of
painful decisions. One OF the two
typical decisions of melancholia is that
the objectionable sin has been COM

be the ultimate goal; the other is that

have enjoyed themselves immensely,
everyone and everything being very

through the large spacious windows of

games of auction bridge, whists,

well as checkers and the like. All are
