There were years in DAddys past to which he and his wife never referred Dear Mother knitted on deli bera tely as if there were no ghosts haunting the recesses of her mind, and Daddy turned to Martha again:

You were a considerate, thrifty. little wife from the beginning, never extravagant, never fretful, al- ways set on doing your share at home. When you went to work for money, you were undertaking more than your share.

Bowsef sniffed Eat Unc' Billy and growled way down deep in his throat in way to send a queer prickly feeling all over Inc Billy. Then he sat down close to Unc Billy. while Farmer Browns boy went away Unc' Billy didn't move. You see. Bowser the Hound kept growing, deep down In his throat.
 After what seemed to Inc Billy 9 very long time Farmer Browns boy came back bringing a wire covered box. It was just like the one in which Johnny Churcks lost baby was a pris oner. Farmer Browns boy picked Unc Billy up by the tail and dropped him into the box and fastened the little door through which he had dropped him. Then Unc' Billy came to life. You see, he knew then that it was no use to pretend any longer that he was dead. So he yawned and stretched and sat up. Farmer Browns boy laughed. NEXT STORY - SAMMY JAY FEELS SORRY

 According to my way of thinking, Martha's husband was the one to pity, He had lost everything which gives a deep meaning to a mans life when he abandoned his child, his home, his reputation, his place in his community. Evan had thrown down the permanent values which he had acquired by years of endeavor for the transient,f ,flattery of a pretty girls inane smile, He sold himself at a bargain price!

The smartest folks will sometimes find
 That other folks are quite as smart, And so their. little tricks all fail--
 They simply play a foolish part.
 Unc' Billy Possufn was beginning to have an idea that that was just the case with him. When Farmer Browns boy found him up in the haymow Unc' Billy just pretended that he was dead. Yes, sir he pretended that he was deac. He didn't move so much as an eyelash when Farmer Browns boy picked him up by the back of the neck. He hung as limp as if there wasn't a breath of life in him when Farmer Browns boy swung him by the tail and climbed down from the haymow with him. When Farmer Browns boy dropped him with thump on the barn floor Unc' Billy didn't even grunt, though he wanted to- for it shook him all over. But he didn't. He lay perfectly still just as he fell Farmer Browns boy pinched Unc' Billys tail, pinched it hard. It hurt dreadfully, but still Une' Buy didn't move.
 By and by FaTQler Browns boy pre- tended to go away, leaving Inc Billy on the barn floor. What he really did do was to hide behind some barrels close by, where he could watch Unc' Billy. Aftes everything had been per fectly still Tor long tune bTc bilIy very, very slowly opened one of his sharp eyes. He didn't open it wide but just so that he could peep out from under the lids He could see those barrels, and sticking out from behind one of them something that looked to him very much like the toe of shoe. Unc' Billy slowly closed his eye again and inside he grinned.
 "Yo' don't catch this possum that NTiSfab Royf' said he 10 himself and took care not to move.
 Finally Farmer Browns boy gave up He came out from behind the barrels, and his freelSled face wore a broad grin as he stood looking down at Unci Billy.

SALT IMPROVES COFFEE

SALT IMPROVES COFFEE An economical way to settle coffee is by means of a pinch of salt. An eggs is unnecessary in making the bev- craze if the salt is used. After the coffee has boiled add not more than an eighth of teaspoonful of salt to pot. Let stand three or four minutes before pouring and the coffee will be nice and clear.

 BREAKFAST: Stewed dried peaches, uncoolled cereal with top milk, cinna- mon toast, coffee.
 l. U N c H E O N: Potato pancakes stewed tomatoes, peanut cookies. tea DINNER: Roast pork, potatoes baked with meat, mashed turnips cabbage salad, apple puffs coffee.
 My Own Recipes
 It is always an economy to buy a roast of pork rather than chops. Even a small family can use small roast all up in one or two meals. Left-o over roast pork makes delicious sandwiches chopped with tiny cucumber pickles or may be used sliced cold with chilli sauce.

It's just like when you stand dOmf-

knock over the first one, the whole
line falls. As long as we kept on
buying, these plants would continue
to hold prices up. Some Of them did

we felt, it was only q bluff to make
it appear that they had reached the
new low basis price for peace times.
eve saw that if the lowering pro-
cess was to be FASTENED at ali, we
must do something drastic So, late
in December, we closed down, re-
solved not to resume production un-
til we could buy materials at peace

have a thorough house-cleahing We
thought it would require but two
weeks, as it turned out it required six.

coffee and shops also came in for
a house-cleaning. We went through
the offices and cut out hundreds of
war work. We literally took out
trainload of desks and furniture and
sold them. We told the men that oc-
cupied those desks, that back in the
shops We're plenty OF good jobs at
good pay-if they wanted to take
them. Most Of them did. We cut
the office forces from 1,074 to 528
persons. Telephone extensions were
cut about go per cent, Interesting,

the same way. During the war pro-
ddction we had a foreman for about
every three to five men. TOO many
foremen sat at desks all day looking

most of the former foreman are now
at machines. We now have & fore
man for about every 20 men. Every

Costs Compared.

costs is really a startling lesson in
what manufacturers can do if they
look sharp to economy. Big plant or
little plant-the same thing can be
done and the same .lethOds viii win

before the housekeeping, our daily
expense for labor and commercial
overhead charges, cost of materials
mot included, averaged $685. 200 to

do in June, 1921-S412,50O a day,
to produce an average of 1892 cars
day, or 500 a car. What do you
mean by talking about mere econ
omy?" and the manufacturer beamed
all over.
"And the men helped whole lot, -

right treatment. We used to have to
employ Is men per car per day; now
it requires but nine. Look at the
saving on the payroll"
