WEDNESDAY.
The premium is due on your life
insurance policy this week. Henry. said
Mrs Hooper, TO her husband, as he was
preparing to leave for the city, anu
wish you would take the time from your
lunch hour today and go around TO the
office and pay It,"
"I'll have to buy another book OF rail-
road tickets today. also Henry remind
ed her. I'm down to my lost one. Is
there anything else I ought to attend to
in the city for you. II seems long time
since you have given me any commits
sions for the house"
Well" replied Mrs. Hooper, 1t is
amazing how improved all the shops are
In Mayfeld Only year or so ago, 1t
was almost impossible to 90 a week with
out having 10 send to the city for some
thing The merchants are certainly wax
ing up to the fact that they must keep
on hand the things we want If they In
tend TO prosper"
"Your woman's Club is what has
| brought them to their senses along that
line acknowledged Henry. 81 don't
before the people Of the town realize
/ how everything has changed for the bet
ter since you women began to work
toward that end"
well. the club knows 1t and so do the
merchants" laughed Mrs. Hooper, 'and
we have several new ideas for next year
/ that will surprise you
Il suppose there will be another round
Of canning today" said Henry lettering
! for a moment on the steps.
"Oh. yes" Mrs. Hooper assured him
Every morning this week is dedicated to
peas and spinach-and I shall try to get
a few more cherries to put up before they
| disappear entirely from the market. You
ami Roger can never get enough OF them.
/ The Bride did not appear until late In
the afternoon. being busy with her own
canning She ran in just as Helen was
| bringing the tea out onto the porch,
Roger and a boy friend who had been
swimming all the afternoon Joined them
and clamored for a cold drink.
Il wish my mother made these nice
cold things to drink when it's so hot"
said the boy as he took glass Of orange
ade from Helen.
yes. aren't they good?" said the
Bride. smiling at him as she slipped her
iced tea.
"I spend all my nickels buying some
thing cold TO drink at the drug store,
continued the boy. 81 never save
single cent OF my pocket money In the
summer. I just drink it all up in sodas
& nd lemonade"
III l was a really thrifty person"
laughed the Bride, I'D set up cold
drink stand on my front porch. I'm
sure I'd make a great deal of money
on lust what the children Of this town
spend for cold drinks and ice creams
you'd get all mine" laughed the boy
n, he finished his second glass Of orange
ace before he and Roger took themselves
of to inspect the vegetable garden and
to do bit Of wedding before dinner.
81 don't know what women are think
ing about" said Mrs. Hooper when
Helen had taken the tea things to the
kitchen and she and the Bride were
alone. Tint isn't the only boy in
MayfieId who drinks up every cent he
can lay his hands on at the corner drug
store"
Il know it," exclaimed the Bride. 1--WE
often marvelled at the amount Of money
the children here spend that way"
And mothers could conserve all that
money very easily and give the children
their cold drinks at home" said Mrs.
Hooper with the expenditure Of only
a small part Of what they give children
| to spend ia that way they could pro-
! vide all the refreshment Of that kind
/ that they need Roger and Helen have
| all the cold drinks they want. because
| ! always keep something In the ice box
