Willard didn't need to be questioned
any more on that line. l had chanced
upon his pet hobby.
When l get enough money I'm go

far from this 'madding crowd he eN-
planned. Il get sick for sight OF

city now. but you can bet I'm going to
make real hay later on
There's Jess. jr. sixteen months

That question brought short,
rather unexpected answer.
Il farmer must have looked my
bewilderment. for Willard continued
hastily: Don't ask me if he's to lie

il. It's too hard and rough for boy.

cultural school and make of himself

DO you know. l think men are
getting too lazy" Willard doesn't
switch in his conversation abruptly,
so l know that what he had to say
would follow closely on his ideas of
sportsmanship. The average city
man is a good sportsman at heart. but
he's too lazy to exercise. He'd rather
do the cabarets and dance himself
dog tired than do an hours good eX-
ercise or take a good, long. stiff walk.
Some day men will pay in crippled
careers and chronic indigestion for
all this tomfoolery.

AS We were talking a letter was

amuse him 4 great deal He showed
It to me. -Ifs another of those
