What Katie Did for Madge.

She rushed impetuously away, and
I stood looking after her, my eyes
perilously near to moisture. In
these days, when almost every wom-

service is most heartening to me. |

me is rooted strongly in gratitude
for our care OF her when she lost her
baby and of her husband since he
returned wounded from the great
war. But gratitude is SO negligible

Katie's possession and manifesto
ton of the virtue seem a precious
thing to me.

soon returned. She had kept her

meal indeed, the best of the dishes
from the family. dinner, with the
addition of fruit ice, a favorite
dish of mine. which, from Katie's
manner of presenting it l knew she
had prepared especially for me,
even before her shy speech told me
so.

brought me.

The Reason Madge Didn't Tele-

I sprang from my chair in con-
sternation and looked at Katie dis

the heels of the queer events of
the aftrnoon, seemed to presage4
disaster of some sort.

Among the Farmers.

Said one of my clever farmer
friends, 81 wish you'd give 'em
a line or two on the right and
justice of a farmer who has a
fence that is not a legal fence,
shooting and injuring his neigh
bors stock for getting into his
crop" Now I'd like to help out
on this for really I'm bit soft
hearted when it comes to see
ing poor dumb bruteS suffer for
mans mistake. There are civic
laws for these adjustments if
farmers can't adjust their diff
ferences and I'd suggest that
line of procedure. Shooting
stock because they walk into a
field with a poor fence is not
right. Get together and talk it
over in a quiet and easy man
ner and if you simply won't
abide by the law and have got
to have bad blood just skin each
others noodle but for the love
of Mike" spare the poor dumb
animals.
Ed Briair, who is now acting
secretary of the Brinkley
branch of Uncle Sans Farm
Loan Association, reports that
there is an increased interest in
the farm loans by our farmers.
He says that he has had more
than $4,000 worth of loan ap-
plications during t h past
month. The Farm Loan Associa-
ton of Uncle Sans is the great
est advantage given to farmers
in many years. Inc farmer can
borrow U. S. money at 512 and
6 per cent and get it on just
about the terms he desires. On
the 6 per cent basis, long term
the principal is completely alb
sorbed by the interest. Farmers
have no right to complain on
having to pay high rates OF in
teests on loans when they can
get money from the Govern
ment at 511a and 6 per cent. See

u. S. Farm Loan Association,
