grain bin. The cost of this will be about $5 in all For dippers use to- mato cans, or anything suitable.
 The S-foot boards are used to make the hopper spout through which the grain is carried. The pulleys are placed inside the hopper spout, about s inches from each end, and tie con veyor belt runs over them. The sprocket wheels are outside of the hopper spout. The small sprocket is on the shaft of the lower pulley, and the power is thus transmitted from the large sproeket wheel to the pulley belt, to which the carrier cans are at tached. A pointed stick at the lower end runs into the wheat and holds that end solid. A pointed piece 12 or 16 inches long at the lower end keeps the hopper working straight down into the grain. The triangular frame is used to keep the larger sprocket wheel on. This frame is fastened to the hopper by bolts and is shaped to fit on the grain bin.

WANTED A PERMANENT BOND
Mite of Seven Years Had Worked Out Solution of Problem to His
 Satisfaction.

He is the merest mite, only seven, and his widowed mother was married the other day for the second time to "daddy"-a really very nice person who had long been fast friends with the stepson-elect and had no idea of being an interloper.
 There are problems to be figured out even when you are seven.
 Mother" asked the mite. "who are you going to marry when daddy dies"
 "Why, my dear" she replied, what a curious question:
 Well" responded the mite. when father died you married daddie-and now, when daddy dies. l know just who want you to marry"
 Why, my little son!" exclaimed the perplexed mother You shouldn't speak like that Daddy isn't going to die"
 Yes, mother, I know, but he might die. Then. if he ever does, mother, I want you to promise me that you'll marry me-'cause then-then, you see we would never have to be sepa- rated"
 Thus, even at seven, does heart know it's own sorrow.
