Randy after the first year, and he had
been reported missing after the big
spring drive. When the troops began
coming home. Elva watched every day
for news of him. but the DAYS passed
and months until Tuck found her in a
tired. helpless mood one day. Her
father had had stroke after one of
his usual election fights. Election on
Rocky Knob was something more than
mere form of government. Ii was
the one day in the year when custom
almost commanded all loyal citizens
TO uphold their personal principles
and prejudices against all corners. and
the judge was famous for his election
tits.
But this day they had carried him
back up the mountain a quiet, limp
old figure, and Elva had cared for
him. Tuck came daily. In his way
he was gentle and tactful, and the
judge liked him. There were three
hundred and some odd acres of land
to look after, and all the timber be-
sides.
I'm gone by, Elva." he said. BET

HE amt never had the gumption
to ask you, has he? Amt you got any
pride at all for girl that don't have
to pick up with the first one that

Elva had WINGED, and when Tuck
asked her again that night, she had
nodded YEARLY.
"Only just one thing, Tuck" she
added with flash of her old spirit.

Interest Does Not Begin Uutil
Bonds Are Sold

The interest does not begin on these bonds
until they ARE SOLD. For example, if the
county board sold $500, 900 worth of bonds in
1920, interest would begin on those bonds that
year, and the bonds which are sold in 1921 and
each year thereafter will not begin to draw in
tereSt until the bonds are actually disposed of
by the county board. Let no one get the mis-
taken idea that the county is going to sell this
S4OO0'OOO bond issue at once and pay interest
on 1t. The county will sell the bonds from
year to year as the money is needed for road
building, and the bonds will begin TO draw in
tereSt only when sold. The bonds will draw
per cent interest. If sold above par, the pre-
MUM may be used to pay the interest or retire
bonds, or be added to the construction fund

County Will Receive Federal
and State Aid
Increased Valuation Will Helm
Pay for Bonds

A fact which should be kept in mind is the
saving IN maintenance resulting from the build
ing of concrete roads. The state, under the
law, will allow Marathon county $275 a mile
for maintenance of roads on the trunk highway
system. The maintenance cost will not be
more than $l00 mile on concrete roads. and
the balance of the state aid will be used to pay
off the bonds they become due. This will
amount in the entire bond issue period to over
S45Z.5OO saved in maintenance and used to
retire bonds.
The assessed valuation of Marathon county
is now sS3, 4o7,477. AT the present rate of in
crease the valuation will amount to $167 $780,
0OO in l9H. The increase in valuation from
year TO year will tend to lower the rate of taxa
ton.
The building of the roads will result in in
creased values and these will help to pay for
the roads

HEAVY BUSINESS
IN FARM MACHINES
EXPECTED IN 1918

Farm implement dealers through
out the south are preparing for the
most active spring trade in the MS
tory of their business.
The superlative is used advisedly.
Farm implement men, as whole, are
conservative and not at all prone to
make extravagant claims However,
without exception, they state that
1919 will be their banner year. AND
they can back up this opinion with
substantial facts.
One of these facts is that the farm
ers in the tri-state territory Will
have more money this spring than
reason is cotton. b
II AS one dealer expressed it:
81 "The farmer in this section IS
Favored this year by chance. The
Cotton crop in Texas was below nor
NAL, in this region it was above nor
NAL. Consequently high-priced cot
ton will benefit the plants here as
much if not more than in any other
section"
Another fact that presages pros
perity is $the growing tendency Of
farmers in the Memphis trade ter
ritory to diversity, and to use more
improved farm machinery. This ten
dency has been especially marked
in the last four or five years. For
instance, several special implements
designed for intensive farming taken
into stock as an eXperime by one
firm back in 1912 and 1913 are car
ried now as staples and the demands
for them has doubled and trebled
in some cases.

1t is said that many of President
Wilson's great state papers were

writer. He uses the well known
hunt and find method, which is
popular with so many self-made
typists. This system consists of
posing the two index fingers above
the machine until the eye finds the
desired key and then punching it
hurriedly before it has time to es-
cape. To the amateur typist the
keys are always elusive and it is
no easy task searching out the let
ters one by one. But industry is
it's own best friend. Two emperors

Sounds funny, doesn't it, especially
as Bert is a farmers boy, but the

Here's the story:
Detectives Joseph Lawrence and
David Frederick, of Minneapolis, be-
ing of an inquisitive nature, sighted
Bert as he sauntered into pawn
shop. They watched him go in, with
two heavy suitcases, and watched
him come out. In went Joe and
Dave to find out about it.
What did the young fellow want
in here" they demanded of the pawn
broker.
Wanted to sell a complete outfit
of women'S clothes, cors-Well,
erything," replied the shopkeeper.
That was enough for Joe and Dave.
They set sail for Bert and soon
corraled him. Off to jail went Bert.
Then came the story.
Bert biushed, stammer and con-
fessed.: He had ordered the wom-
ems attire so that he could imper-
senate a lady's maid. He longed for
adventure. He heard there were lots
of jobs for maids. Hadn't the boys
back at Sioux Falls told him he
looked like a girl? Hadn't he a
girlish face and couldn't he talk like
a girl? Sure he could, he concluded.
However, his nerve failed him, so
he tried to pawn the clothes.
Joe and Dave were puzzled. But
investigation proved Bert was harm
less, even if he did want to be a
maid, and so they let him go, without
the clothes. But what to do with
the clothes. That was the question.
Police Matron Schaeffer solved it.
A woman prisoner had been brought
in during the night. attired in a
nightgown. Surely she couldn't go
to court in that. SO, with Bert S
permission, they gave her the clothes'
