That is the way the story used to
travel. Now it goes by automobiles,
and they seem somehow to take the
family along more swiftly and through
stranger ways. There was not so
much difference, after all, between
Old Pet and Boy, but the new aut0mo-

And while the family grew very slow

CAPE FARMERS Are
BEING CLASSIFIED
Good Agficuiturists Will Be Per-
mitted To Remain On Farms
During The War

Monday, October IA, the Commun-
itv Committee of the Farm Bureau
met at the court house in Jackson and
classified the registrsnts that had
given farming as their occupation
This list was forwarded to the Dis
t5lict Board at Poplar Bluff.
To learn how any one was placed yD
necessary to see that committee as no
necessary o see that committee as no
COPY was kept IN the office Of the
County Agent.
Both the local board and the dis
trict board had placed many OF
these registrants before this meeting
Of the Farm Bureau and they are
CONVINCING to classify men. Ncaoph0n
Caverno the Agricultural Advisor
tc the district board can have these
c3assilications changed up until a man
teaves on the train.
This county must furnish its quota
of men to the army. 1t may take
men that the Farm Bureau classified
as good" farmers to ill our quota of
men. But as far as possible good"
farmers are going to be held on the
farms, while the unnecessary are 60
ing into the army. This list as made
by the farmers themselves is the
best guide that Mr.. Cavcrno can
have.
Remember this-that for every
man who stays out Of the army some
other man must 20. II this man
that stays at home is not working or
is only a poor producer, some worker
must go. There are slackers in this
county. For every Stacker that we
can find ard send 10 the army We can
keep on the farm man that ha, been
classified as GOOD" by his neigh
bors. It becomes the patriotic duty
OF every American to inform the au-
thorities OF every such Stacker.

of Family Horse.
SMALL CAR SOON FORGOTTEN
Machines Have Grown Larger and

Iy Up to Date.

Already the automobile has become
the vehicle Of family history. You
know how it used 10 be, how the fam
lily was forever recalling the days Of
Old Pet, or Selim, and how the men
ton of the old family horses inspired
prolonged and delightful reminis-
cences in which the family story
logged along behind the memories 81
the bays and the blacks ana the %raYS
we used to drive. You remember tho
peculiar understanding that existed
between mother and old Pet, the gray
that had q crooked tail. Mother never
would drive any other horse, and cried
when the crooked tail was trimmed
into an absurdity in an effort to make
it look straight.
Memories OF Gray Mare.
You did not care much for Old Pet
yourself, perhaps, for she was an am
Hing sort of creature; but those SGT
ur(lay morning drives in the country,
with mother holding the reins, had
Q charm that fingers about the mem-
cries OF that little gray mare. As for
Selim, mother never understood the
dainty blacks impetuouS ways, and
could not be persuaded TO drive him.
Ey the time Red became the family
horse tie children were beginning 70
drive by themselves and not just hold
the ends of the reins, and it is = Won
der that Red lasted as long as he did.
He was a tough one, though, that slen-
der, black-nosed little bay, and kept
his own independence through many
years of trials that would have less
ened the courage of another horse.
Queen, The big dappled cream-colored
mare with the wavy white name and
tail, came after Red, and you remem-
Der that father almost sold her to ev-

then Boy was the last and perhaps the
