"Once / had a father" I boosted.
"Well, We'll play we're married and
that you have just got home from a
journey. You go out in the woods
and then you come home and I'll
meet you at the door,"
I did as she babe me but was not
glad enough to see her.
"You must kiss me-" she prompted
in whisper.
I kissed her very swiftly and gin
gerly-like one picking up hot coal
and she caught me In her arms
and kissed me three times while her
soft hair threw its golden veil over
our faces.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you,' she
said as she drew away from me and
shook back her hair.
"Golly! this is fun l said.
Nov go to sleep and I'll tell you
a story" said she.
Then she told pretty tales of fair
les and of grand ladies and noble gen.

swords and diamonds and silks, and
said wonderful words in such a won

questions to ask and she told me what
were fairies and silks and diamonds

We sat down to one of our familiar
dinners of salt pork and milk gravy
and apple pie now enriched by sweet
pickles and preserves and frosted
cake.
A query had entered my mind and
soon after we had begun eating l
asked:
"Aunt Deel, what is the difference
between boy and a girlY'
There was little silence in which
my aunt drew in her breath and ex-
claimed, "W'y!" and turned very red
and covered her face with her nap
kin. Uncle Peabody laughed so loud
ly that the chickens began to cackle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunkelberg also covered
their faces. Aunt Deel rose and went
to the stove and showed the teapot
along. exclaiming:
Goodness gracious sakes aliye!"
The tea stopped over on the stove.
Uncle Peabody laughed louder and
Mr.. Dunkelberg's face was purple.

and what a time it WAS for me. A
pleasant sadness comes when l think
OF that day--it was so long ago. As
the Dunkelbergs left US l stood lool,-
ing down the road on which they
were disappearing. That evening my
ears caught u note of sadness in the
voice Of the katydids, and memory

FARMERS MAY LOSE.
May Suffer Because of Delayed Ship
ments Caused by Carmen Strike.

Audrain shippers will probably lose
s%1noney en- account of the railroad COM
lpanies refusing to accept cattle ship
lments to the National Stock Yards.
Many shippers have shipments ready
sbut are afraid to attempt to get their
f,tock to the yards.
TIL prices of cattle and sheep will
probably fall Immediately after the
, ttrike situation becomes normal
snough for the railroads to accept cat
I lie shipments again. Large numbers
Ngof shippers all over the country will
TRY to get rid of their stock immed'
Ately after shipments r. received and
aSe God prices will fall on account Of
lie over-supply. Consequently many
farmers who now have cattle anc
i sheep awaiting cars will suffer.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
ENDORSE PRESIDENT

Southampton, Long Island, N. Y,
August 9Th, 1919.-Have just returned
from a delightful four-day motor boat
trip with friends across Long Island
Sound and up the Connecticut River
to Hartford, and l am sure for safety
and pleasure a motor boat has a fly
ing machine "beat a mile" except for
speed, and / am in 10 hurry any way.
l see that Senator Reeds friends are
charged with having the Democratic
state headquarters brought from st.
Louis to Kansas City. What's the
matter with the Democratic party Of
Missouri any way? Why don't it
make up and endorse the President Of
the United States and the League OF
Nations? If the party favors Reed
and his policies some of US would like
20 know it. If the party is behind
Wilson, why not say so? Surely the
grand old Democratic party of Mis-
souri," is not going on the rocks. 1t
certainly will, unless the rank and file
makes us and asserts itself. If jim
Reed and Woodrow Wilson are the two
sues, let's line up. The sooner, the
better.
1t looks now as though the profiteer-
ng class would have to "behave" or
get into serious trouble in New York
State.
One of the big puzzles of the day on
Top of the high prices is the disappear
zee Of quality in the wares we buy
Shoes seem to be made of burnt leath-
err and pasteboard; cotton goods OF
tissue paper, and silk Of wood pulp
Yet cattle still produce hides, the cot
ton liant yields honest fibre and the
silk worm spins as industriously as
before.
Doubled prices and half values make
a pretty heavy load for the public tt
carry. The manufacturer lays thu
blame upon his workmen. The retailer
hanks back to the jobber and the pub
lie gets left. This form of swindlint
has become a national sin.
The consumer should insist on valu'
received, and should see that they ge
lust rights. We find that not only ar
prices too high and quality inferior
but that in many cases weights an
measures are short. few jail senten
, ces will bring prompt and beneficial
results along this line.
The East is all right, but l am get
ting home sick for good old Mexice
Missouri, and when / get ready t
start home would almost be willing t
take a flying machine.
That last rain should make every
body in favor of a good road bon
