In Fathers Time.
By WAIT MASON

When ! was young the old farm wagon was all the chariot
we had; the sides were bent, the seat was saggin', the wheels
were always feeling bad.
On Saturday we'd hear Dad saying, 81 guess we'll have to
got town and sell the eggs the hens are laying, and get your
Ma a bingham gown. Wen have to travel mighty slowly, to
save the horses Tor the field" We climbed aboard the craft
unholy, and all its bolts and fixtures squealed.
And then along the road, we jolted-twas seven weary
miles to town, and my sad soul in vain revolted at how dad
held the horses down. eve mustn't let them scratch the gray
ell" he'd say, when | was showing pique; "it hurts them more
TO town to travel than p~loughing hurts them in a week"
And so the snails went whizzing by us-the way they
passed us was a shame, and what Dad said was scarcely pious
when jim, the sorel horse, went lame. 1t took all day to go
the distance; when we got home, with sigh and groan, / went
to bed, with Dads assistance was too sore to go alone.
How times have changed! l now am bossing the farm
my father used to run; and now and then you see me tossing
into the bank a roll of mon. And when l find it necessary to
go to town to sell some chicks, the trip is brief and glad and
merry, | travel in my Haynes Light Six" My times too
precious to be wasted; / rush and get my business through;
when speed the modern man has tasted, he knows the old way
will not do.
And when it comes to recreation, l take the wife and all
the folks, ~indulging in a Haynes vacation, forgetting labor and
its yokes. And thus the motor car makes farming-which
used to be a weary grind-an occupation glad and charming
the old slow methods left behind.

FaII-PIOw the Garden.

Missouri gardens are done for
this year, and it has been a
rather hard year for them, but
whether your garden was as
successful a venture as you
hoped it would be or not, steps
for assuring success for next
year can be taken now.
Flowing in the fall, that is, be-
fore freezing, is one of those
steps. The reasons are many,
so only a few can be given here.
If your garden soil is a some
what heavy, clayey, loan, it
will be made quicker" by fall
blowing, leaving the furrow
slices on edge, or as nearly so as
possible.
The exposed soil will crumble
up through the winter due to
alternate freezing and thawing.
The roughened garden surface
will catch and hold more of the
winter rains and SHOWS than
would a smooth, beaten-down
surface. The slices themselves
will dry out, and when the sea-
son at which seeds can be plant
ed does come, the burrows can
be covered with the crumbled
dry soil which is in excellent
condition for seed sowing and
which will protect from evapora-
ton the water caught through
the winter; a sort of insurance
against dry summer.
Fall blowing will also help the
farmer fight insects. Those that
pass the winter on the grounC
in crop remnants will be buried
so deeply that they cannot worl
to the surface, and those thai
burrow into the ground to es
cape outside temperatures viii
be turned up to freeze and tt
perish.
In short, fall-plow gardens.

trouble. Rheumatism also both
cred me, severe pains coming in
my limbs.
"'The pains in my back have
completely disappeared since /
began taking Tanlac. l sleep
soundly at nights now and in
the mornings l awaken feeling
refreshed. The rheumatic pains
also have been banished by Tan
lac. It's something new for me
to be without pains and it's
mighty fine. Tanlac brought
wonderful results in my case"
Tanlac, the Master Medicine

ach, liver and kidney trouble

tite and the like.

The COnqueror CONQUERED.

LllIIeu 10 q woman LnaIy except
as the mothers of conscripts, he
considered women as of no inn
portance in national affairs and
he was always r%esentful of their
interference. To Madame de
Condorcet, an able, intelligent
and witty woman, notably inter
ested in public questions, he said
bluntly:
81 do not like women who med
die with politics"
"Ah, my general" was the
apt and instantaneous reply,
"as long as you men take a fancy
to cut off our heads now and
then, we are interested in know
ing why you DO it."

those which wore the peasants

of France, mad fallen under the
knife of the guillotine in the
great Revolution that preceded
Napoleon's rise to power.
True, none fell by his order af-
ter he became emperor; even his
most brilliant and formidable
feminine adversary, Madame de
Stael, succeeded in keeping hers
upon her shoulders, although
she was driven into exile, and
he would gladly have imprison-
ed and silenced her if he could.
Although it happened not a
few times that, in argument or
repartee, he failed to win the
advantage against a witty or
steadfast woman, the emperor
had little gallantry, and the vic
tor was likely to pay dear for her
victory. But in at least one in
stance of record, as a recent
writer has pointed out, it was
otherwise.

tablish a new store in Mishawaka,
but TO take over a going concern,
old established il possible, and TO
retain the present management and
clerks, which Of course, would have
10 be greatly added to. The Pugh
corporation has already a large
chain of such stores throughout the

VOLUNTEER COMPANY
SUGGESTED FOR CITY
Hubert NifOng, Retired Army
Officer. Has Patriotic
Suggestion.

Alishawaka. "a city Of 10000 people
has done little. If anything. in the
support Of the United States gov
eminent in this present Mexican
crisis. with troops mobilizing on all
sides Of her. she is content 10 stand
idly by contributing a few soldiers
20 other companies but taking no
steps of her own vOlit.on.
Hubert Nifong. a retired United
States army officer. and a resident
Of Mishawaka, living at 40 w.
Grove St. has made the suggestion
10 the News-Times that a volunteer
company of Mishawakans be enlist
ed in the service.
1t is not the intention Of Mr.. Nj
fong 10 enter the company into i'm
mediate service. but rather TO drill
and instruct them for a while until
an actual need for their services ar
rives. When the call does come, the
men will have enough training TO
fit them for real service to the coun-
try.
Nifong served three years in the
army. getting his honorable dis
charge shortly after the trouble with
Huerta. He served during the Vera
Cruz campaign and was discharged
as a corporal in Co. G, 18th infantry.
United States regular army. His
three years experience makes him
an ideal man for the head of such
a company as he suggests.
Some help in the organization of
the company would be needed, and
it has been suggested that business
men and citizens get behind the
movement TO put Mishawaka on the
military map. Such a company is
not an impossibility and in time of
trouble would be great service to
the United States. Mr.. Nifong can
be communicated with through the
News-Times.
