Weevils Add To Value
Of Terrell County Soil

DAWSON, Nov. 28.-The record
price for Terrell county farm land
was paid few days ago when j. D,
Weaver sold to C. w. Livingston 1876
acres of land in the Twelfth district,
about six miles north of Dawson, for
1925 an acre. The deal aggregated
$4,000, which was paid in cash by
Mr.. Livingston.
Terrell county farm land has been
steadily enhancing in value for sew
eral years, and especially since the
appearance of the boil weevil here
and diversifcation of crops has been
the rule of the farmers, has the in
crease in price been rapid. The wee
vii has made Terrell county land
more valuable than it ever was be-
fore.

your bette noir, complimented you.
Said you were great.
81 am much obliged to Mr.. Lever
idge. Considering that he knows so
much about such things, it was quite
compliment. We both laughed at
my sarcasm, and nothing more was
said. But long after Everett had left
for the office, stood at the window
where / had waved goodbye to him,
and wished he would just once forget
to praise so calmly; and love me as
he had Leola.
He never will. He'll never say
those things to me-" l murmured as

SO long ago still vividly in my mind
Irma Barton was back. We had
given her dinner, and she had re-
turned the compliment. She SEEM
ed very happy, and looked ten years
younger-so Everett said.
We made up a little bridge club,
playing once week, just we four.
AS l gnew to know Irma, l saw how
had wronged her in supposing she
would be guilty of attempting to
take Everett from me. She was the
soul of honor She never quibbled
even when society women in general
would perhaps have done so. And
she was charming to me.
"You have made Everett over"
she said once 81 rather thought you
would. He is very much more enter

wife was the best thing in the world
for him. But tell me, didn't he have

saw my expression, don't tell me he
has dyed them! That would be too
wonderful, considering his expressed
aversion toward women who do such
things"
"You mustn't mention it to him
he is awfully sensitive over it," l
told her, "and claims he did it for
my sake-so people would not think
him my grandfather"
She laughed heartily, then said ::
'T'll not tell! promise l won't. But,
Sandra, he must be very much in love
with you; very anxious to keep your
affection, for him to do a thing like
that-it is so foreign to him. l think
YOU should feel flattered."
"He doesn't seem old to me now,
| recalled the day SO long ago when
had talked with Irma of Leola, and
how I had wished I were older, more
like her. Now she didn't seem so
much older, or else it was because

ness.
"No, he wouldn't! You have
grown along with him, Sandra. You
are so wonderfully improved. You

And Everett is terribly proud OF you.
He shows it in everything he says and

81 would rather he loved me more
and was less proud" trembled on my
tongue, but I caught myself in time,
and said nothing about the longing
still had to KNOW, of myself, that
nv husband loved me as he was cap
able of loving-as he had loved my
predecessor.
! 'He has tried hard enough to make
something of me-" I replied with
laugh. "It would be too bad II ne

what is that for?" she asked, for
she had learned by this time that the
Fairy loved to answer questions.
Some vegetables are planted in
rows like carrots and beets and rad
ishes, and some are planted in hills
like cucumbers and squashes. Every
one who makes a garden should learn
all about those things before he be-
gins. And then he should learn just
how deep the seeds should be planted
small seeds like radishes and on
ions should be near the top of the
ground, and large ones deeper-but
you will find out all about that after
WHILE"
"How shall I find out-aGd when
shall I see some nore?" demanded
the very much interested little girl.
"If you come out here every morn
ing when the Dewdrops are III the
leaves and blossoms, you will learn
everything they can tell you" And
the little Fairy looked very roguish

Well, what do you see? again
asked the lovely Dewdrop Fairy, as
she lifted her wee watering pot that
was no bigger than thimble.
why, l don't see anything-yet,"
said Dolly.
Look again; / am sure you will
see something" answered the lovely
green and pink Dewdrop, flutteTing
her gauzy green wings.
mo, don't see anything but some
ground with grass and weeds growing
On it-oh, yes-now I see some boys
coming-and some girls, too. They
have spades and rakes, and hoes, and
all kinds of such things. and now the
boys are beginning to dig like every
thing. What are they doing?
Watch them and tell me-"
AS Dolly watched the scene in the
Dewdrop it moved as rapidly as a mo.
ton picture. Almost before she knew
what had happened, the spading was
over and the boys-and girls TOO
were hoeing the ground over and
were breaking up all the large Jumps;
then-in what seemed but moment
more-they were raking it all over IN
to still smoother surface. In fact,
while she looked into the magic Drop
she was seeing things that take place
several days-or even weeks being
done as If in play. Some of the move
ments Dolly could understand and
others were mystery to her.
What are they putting all over the
ground from those baskets?" she
asked the obliging Fairy.
g. "That Is food for the EARTH" she
answered: 1T is called fertilizer,
and it helps the plants to grow and
become strong, just like that tonic
you had to take last year in the
spring, when the doctor said you
needed more blood.
"Ugh!" exclaimed the little girl: 81
hope it doesn't taste as queer as that
tonic did-else 1t would make all the
vegetables SICK and she giggled.

how to treat the ground in this gar

close to the Dewdrop and say that the
young gardeners were hoeing the
ground into rows and, in some places
