return trip about July 4, and could
be secured to stop here for three
days.
Circumstances, however, have
changed the outlook for this exhibit.
The border trouble with Mexico COM
ing on at this time is putting a stop
to all army planes going out on ex-
hibitions, as they have to be in readi-
ness at the fields in case they should
be called to Mexico. However, the
committee is still negotiating with
authorities, and If such a thing as
getting one or more airplanes for the
Fourth of July celebration is feasible,
these planes win be forthcoming, as
no stones will be left unturned to Sc
cure this attraction If 1t can possibly
be arranged.

There are two tastes in
tea: the tea-taste and the
tannin-taSte. When you
make your tea, the tea
taste develops first; the
tannin after it.
Common tea, made from
the older leaves of the tea
plant, has a low,grade of
tea-taste, and even that is
quickly smothered by the
tannin.
Fine tea, made from
younp tender leaves, has
an abundance of rich real
tea-taste, which develops
in the cup, before the tan
min gets started. Very
little. tannin in fine tea.

The little station agent, surveying

gentleman alisht from the parlor

The train moved on and the stran-
ger stood looking about him with
auizzical violet eyes; suddenly he
picked up his grips and started to-
ward the station agent, who still
stood in wonder before his small Of
fee.
Il wonder II you could tell me

It's been my experience" said
the stranger with a soft eastern in
tonation, that farmers sell their
good butter and their cream and
their best eggs in the city and live
off what's left. But don't care so

That would be very good of you;

the fastener held out his hand and
the agent clasped it. giving his name
as Henry Stone.
Much obliged 10 meet you" con-
tinued the agent with a conscious
grin. turning into the office door to
cover his evident embarrassment.
Wait just a minute"
with a series of energetic turns at
a bell handle he primed the party
phone and after a few minutes con-
versation hung up the receiver and
called out 10 Mr.. Poe. Yes, the
