FARM BUREAU NOTES

As appears else where in this
issue. Messrs. w. a. Bronaugh
and G. f. Johnson are shipping
into the Valley sixty.three
head Of registered Shorthorn
cattle. Out Of this lot these
men have generously consent
ed to sell Mt cost several wean-
ed heifcr calves and bred heif-
ers. to all boys and girls who
will become members Of the
Calf Club. One OF the local
banks will finance the PROPOSE
ton. Those members who
want time in which to pay for
their animals will be given one
year at 81 per annum: and
the notes and contracts must
be signed by parent or guard
ian as well as by the club men,
Der himself.
1t seems to me this is a rare
opportunity for the young
folks to get started in business
for themselves. The cattle are
here on the grounds: you can
look them over. Prior to this,
we have been compelled to
run a sort of mail order" bus
mess; At least the purchase
was made before the club
member saw what he was get
ting. In this case. the heifers
going to club members will be
put In a group by themselves
and drawn for by members.
The County Agent will be glad
to answer questions or to as
sist any boy or girl who wishes
to come into possession Of one
of these Shorthorns.
Rio Grande County now can
claim the start of Brown Swiss
blood here among our cattle.
Two or three months ago, Mr..
c. E. Faith shipped into the
county. a registered bull calf
Of the above breed. The Brown
Swiss. while good dairy ami
mails, are also quite noted pro-
ducers of beef; which goes to
say they are more Of the dual
purpose animal and attain to
good size. Mr.. Faith says he
Is going to make ton animal
out of the calf and this before
ne is three-year-old. He al
so says he would like to buy a
few head Of Brown Swiss fe-
males.

Moonlight and Money
By MARION RUBTNCAM.

ton Yet even so, her money went
rapidly. She never dreamed a house
must hold so many necessary objects.
She never imagined curtain material
or rag rugs could O so much. She
sold all her jewels except her watch
and the engagement ring whose wee
diamond still winked at her pleasant
ly from her wedding ring finger.
Yet the bills did not decrease.
Week by week they cut out items
they now knew they could not afford.
Louise could not keep the table on
her allowance. She bought what she
imagined was Inexpensive foods, but
the allowance simply did not last.
She began going without lunches
to economize, and found this saved
quite a bit. She drank cup after cup
of hot water to avoid midday nausea
and though her skin tool on a clear
ness that was eVen more transparent,
her face became thin and her cheeks
lost their delicate tinge of pink. Per-
haps a little loneliness was mixed
with her feeling of unhappiness; her
family We're still far away, her friends
still scattered to vacation resorts
from which they wrote her glowing
letters. TO the few o~vertures of
friendship from the village women
she did not respond. She was afraid
they guessed her financial troubles
and she wanted to use all her time
in fixing up the place.
One day when she was getting to-
ward the end of the work, a perfect

day in late September, Carol burst
in upon her. Carol was fairly radiat-
ing health; her cheeks glowed, her
unusually animated. Louise was seat
ed on the floor before a chair in the
process of reconstruction-her face,
hands and arms covered with paint;
she was tired and her back ached a
bit and much as she loved Carol, she
did not want to see her just then.
i've missed you so much" Carol
cried. IF only you'd come just for
a week end. Newport's a wonderful
place. We managed to meet just the
right sort there, and really, I've made
any number of new friends that are
lovely. You must meet them, dear"
She stopped breathlessly.
IT'S been worth it, though it has
cost us a fortune. 1 did not think
I'd like the social game-I mean
among those people, the leaders in it
but 1 do. And l met-but I'll tell
you later. I've a car, too, a peach,
that 1 run myself. And clothes-you
should see me. oh, but what a pig
l am, talking about myself! Tell me
all you've beer doing ?"
Louise sat back on her heels and
looked at the chair she was doing up.
And suddenly her bubble of satisfac-
ton burst, she hated her house and
her new life and the work she had
thought she liked. For the first time
she knew what envy meant.

THE BUBBLE BURSTS

a congenial occupation, and she dis

something more unusual, a mixture
Of the ultra-modern and the quaint

Indeed. in this work lay a certain
relief. Louise could not have express

idea was still too vague in her mind.
She merely knew that she nc longer
took pleasure in standing in the door
way watching Harry go down the
road to the station. She found her
self wishing he would hurry n
make the turn, where he always
stopped and waved back. And, once
he was out of sight, instead of linger-
