Another Community Fair

Yesterday the Farmer and I went
to Leighton to- the community fair.
The day was all that one could ask
for, just cool enough to make one
enjoy being outdoors, and not need
wraps. There were all sorts of ex-
hbits, and it seemed to me that ev-
erything deserved one of the ribbons.
The gathering was, principally, to
get the people together and let them
get acquainted with the county high
school. The school children of every
grade had handiwork of some sort,
and the array of doll dresses, made
of serviceable material and sensible
pattern, was splendid. There was an
economy" corner that showed us
how to utilize all sorts of things, a
bag to drop the rolling pin in, beau
tiful orange -colored curtains made of
sugar sacks, a medicine cabinet made
OF a shallow box set on end, with
two shelves put in it, and a door, all
neatly stained, were the economy de-
vices that especially attracted me-a
little DO ymade his mother a nice
coop for a hen and chickens with a.
box just large enough for biddy, and
wired-in park for the babies to
exercise. One side of the coop could
be raised up, and wire kept her in
while sunshine made it dry and SAM
tary.
There was a new variety of corr
with shucks as purple as if they
were dyed. The grains were white
and a good size. And you should
have seen the hams, immense hams,
and just the shade and texture one
| wants a ham. There was one beauty
cured with liquid smoke. Some of
the readers rave asked me about
| liquid smoke, so I asked the lady
and she says there is a different fla
vor from hickory chips or cobs, but
nobody had objected to it, that the
hams, and this one was a ''whopper,"
kept we'll and tasted well. I laughed
and said that ham was too big for
| this family; we don't want one to
weigh more than twenty-five pounds.
"No," she said, ''I don't want any
more that size; they are too heavy
for me to handle.''
A little hog is wasteful, but a really
large one is awkward.
| There were all varieties Of cakes
jellies, preserves and pickles, ana
then came the chickens. 1 had tC

few fine pens, but now there are

it was pen of Rhode Island Reds.

English Girls Now
Turn to Simpler
Wedding Services

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Old-fashioned
weddings at church with lavish dec
orations, gaily bedecked brides and
bridesmaids, bell ringing and elaE
crate Cer~.-lonies, are gradually Civ
ing way to more somber and quicker
weddings at registry offices.
Statistics show that 25 per cent OF
the total marriages in this country
during the year have been perform
ed at registry offices. In London
alone of $4,000 marriages, 10000
were conducted by the registrar, and
throughout the country the number
of civil ceremonies has grown from
10000 in 1890 to three times that
number.
Among many reasons given for
favoring the civil marriage is the
desire to avoid publicity by contract
ing parties particularly in the cases
of dukes, peers, theatrical stars anG
other prominent persons when re-
marrying
English brides of the past genera
ton would have been aghast at the
thought of marrying without the
proverhtal orange blossom wreat ,
and the ret nue. Of bridesmaids, but

present-day girl make her prefer the

any sense at all. 1t would be no
trouble at all to catch one Of them
if only I were free. There's that
young rooster whose voice led me
into all my trouble. What a vain,
boastful fellow he is. Yet he hasn't
any more sense than those stupid
hens. My, how would like one Of
them for dinnern'
1t was then that he noticed that
some of those hens were coming
nearer, and a sudden thought popped
into his head. Perhaps if he kept
out Of sight one of them might come
near enough so that he could spring
out and catch her. Once more eager
ness took possession Of him, and he
made ready to spring out should
there be the least chance.
But the hens didn't come near
enough. They came almost within
reach, but not quite, and the young
Fox was wise enough not to take
the chance of frightening them. He
remained motionless, but never for
an instant did he take his eyes from
those big, stupid-looking birds.
Watching them SO closely, he soon
discovered that they were looking
for food. He saw Mrs. Brown come
out and put painful Of scraps
on the ground. He saw those hens
rush to meet her and then greedily
crowd around that pan. He looked
over at his own empty plate and an
idea came to him. Perhaps if there
was food in that plate those hens
would come to get it.

Farmer Browns Boy Lets His
Hens Out
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
This truth experience will teach;
Want not the thing beyond your
reach old Mother Nature.

This truth experience will teach;
Want not the thing beyond your
reach.-Old Mother Nature.
Farmer Browns Boy was in the
habit Of once in a while opening the
henyard gate and letting his hens
out to run about the barnyard. 1t
gave them exercise which they need
ed. He did this one morning shortly
after he and the young Fox had be-
come friends. 1t was the first time
the young Fox had seen those hens
since he had been a prisoner. You
know, it was those very hens who
| had caused him all the trouble he
| had been in. Had it not been for
them he would not now be pris-
oner.
He knew now what a hen tasted
like, for you remember that Mother
Fox had brought him one in the
night shortly after he was made q
| prisoner. So now he was even more
! interested in those big birds than he
had been when he first saw them.
F~rmer Browns Boy had brought
him many dainties to eat, but a
freshly killed hen had not been
among them. So as he watched
those hens running about the hen
yard there was the same eagerness
in his eyes that there used to be
| when he was hunting for his own
| food.
For the time being he forgot that
| he was a prisoner. Crouching close
to the ground he slowly crept to.
ward the nearest hen. Very, very
carefully he moved. If the hen look
ed up he remained motionless. His
eyes burned with eagerness. Little
thrills of excitement ran all over him
His mouth watered. Then he felt a
gentle tug at his neck as he reached
the end Of the chain md remem
| bered.
Such a bitter, bitter disappoint
ment! He got to his feet and with
head and tail hanging low, trotted
back to his littl house and disap
peared inside. He was ashamed. Yes
sir, he was ashamed, and he looked
1t. He wasn't ashamed of having
tried to catch one Of those hens. Oh
my, no. He was ashamed of being
a prisoner. He couldn't, bear to have
those hens see him prisoner. So he
crept inside his house, where he
couldn't be seen, and tr: ID to forget
those hens.
But forgetting wasn't easy. Ir
fact. it was impossible. You see, he
could hear them clucking anG
scratchi"~ and so as he heard
them he simply couldn't forget them
After while he changed his position
so that he could look out Of his
door. There for a long time he lay
with his chin on his little black
paws, watching those hens as they
walked or ran about, looking foi
worms and any scraps of food they
might find.
"Such stupid creatur s!'' said the
young Fox to himself. "They haven
