She still had week of vacation left,
and she decided to spend 1t with Aunt
Martha in Ohio.
Before leaving the hotel she penned
a note and left it with the clerk.
"Dear Leonard" 1t said, II am leav-
ing, and will never see you again.

deceiver and cannot bear to look you
in the face"
Thirty-six hours later she leaped
from the train and into Aunt Martha's
arms. Aunt Martha escorted her to
the relic that had once been an au-
tomobile, and they drove to the farm.
1t was lonesome there, but Winnie
made the best of it. She felt that she
was atoning for her sin by shutting
herself away from the world. She was
pensive and moody, but she roamed
the fields and woods and tried to for
get the handsome rich man who had
asked her to marry him.
One day Aunt Martha sent her on
an errand.
"rve got to churn today, and Uncle
Roberts busy in the field; so we can't
get away. I'wonder if you'd as soon
drive the flivver to town and get that
tire we left to be vulcanized? That
left front one is about ready to blow
out"
Winnie welcomed the opportunity,
but she smiled bitterly as she re-
called her conversation in the north
relative to being bored by driving.
She found the garage without trou-
ble stopped the f1ivver in front and
went into the office, making her wants
known to the proprietor, who looked
as though he had just taken bath in
grease.
"Oh, Mr.. Hendricks tire; sure, l
think it's ready" he said, and stuck
his head out the door to call:
"Oh, Len, get Mr. Hendricks tire,
and bring it out and put it on for the
young lady"
Winnie walked back to the car and
stood waiting. Presently a tall, ath-
letic figure appeared. Juggling the tire.
His face was so black from mechan-
ical dirt that he would have passed
for an Egyptian night
(Which Wheel misS?" he said, and
then stopped and stared allowing the
tire to drop in the road.
Winnie, puzzled by his behavior,
studied his countenance in an effort
to penetrate the grease and make out
what he looked like. Suddenly she rec
ognized him, in spite of the CRIME.

pair are the only ones I have anything

COAL OF DRIVE
1900 MEMBERS,
State Leaders Will Aid Farmers Of
County in Campaign For
Members

1900 new members is the goal for
the membership campaign authorized
at meeting of the executive commit.
tee of the Ward county Farm Bureau,
held at the office Of County Agent N.
p. German Saturday, October Is. The
Campaign will open Monday, Novem-
Der 8, and will continue two weeks.
During those two weeks the plan is
to sign up enough members SO that
Ward county will have the strongest
and most representative Farm Bureau
in the state when the North Dakota
Federation of Farm Bureaus is form
ed, which, it is anticipated, will occur
within the next month.
Community Meetings Planned
During the campaign, meetings will
be held in each of the thirteen COM
munities of the county at which adj
dresses will be given by state lead
ers in extension work, including H. B.
Fuller, county agent leader, and Mrs.
Louise Campbell, state leader Of home
demonstration work. Following these
meetings, solicitors will visit every
farmer in the community, explain the
purposes of the Farm Bureau to him,
and give him an opportunity to join.
The family membership fee in the
organization will be IS annually. The
executive committee set this figure so
that money would be available to pay
state and national dues, and at the
same time leave majority of the
money to be spent for carrying on the
work within the county.
State Conference Called
A conference of delegates from each
of the II county farm bureaus in
North Dakota has been called at the
North Dakota Agricultural College,
and at this meeting the first steps
will be taken to organize state fed
Grafton of farm bureaus and to affili-
ate with the American Farm Bureau
Federation, which is composed Of the
farm bureaus in 81 of the agricultural
states of the country.
Several farm bureaus in the state,
notably Pembina and Stutsman coun-
ties, at the present time have men,
bership in the neighborhood of seven
hundred, and when the state federation
is formed, membership campaigns will
be put on which will increase the men,
bership in many of the counties to
more than 1000. 1t is the belief of
the members of the executive commit
tee of the Ward County Farm Bureau
that the farmers Of this county will
want to take the lead in this progress
i've movement, and that by getting a
membership of 1900 here, the county
will be in position to take the lead.
All Must Join
"We're going right out and turn this
county upside down when this cam
paign starts" said one member of the
executive committee. "We're going
right to the mat with every farmer of
the county on this Farm Bureau prop
ositiop, and when things once more re-
sumo their natural course, Ward coun-
ty will have the largest membership
of any Farm Bureau in the state. ~
IF there's anything about the Farm
Bureau, county, state or national, its
past, present or future, that anyone
doesn't like, it is his duty to join the
Farm Bureau and use his influence to
correct any wrong which he believes
NAV exist"

L. F. Vollmer returned from Min

melons from an acre.
