For time Jimmie worked in ST

was very warm. After a time. when
his mother had her back turned, he
took off his sweater. And the sun
got hotter and hotter, and the old
pond in the back field melted in wet
streams. Jimmie lighted the fire. and

Certainly. They cost less; they
are far less Independent than most
men and more readily handled. And
you don't have to pamper them-par-
ticularly in the matter Of food. Why,
