Reports from the farm areas show
that not only is the great American
farmer preparing for a bumper crop
but he has every prospect of receiving
a good price for 1T and with this in
view he is preparing to step out in
the market and buy. He has been
holding tight to his purse strings for
some time but now, the reports in
dicated, he is going to purchase all
those things which he has wanted but
which his native caution has caused
him to refrain from spending money
for because Of the business outlook.

Brass sockets over damp and con-
crete floors should be replaced by
weatherproof sockets. The little
black paper insulation between the
outside shell Of the socket and the
binding posts where wires connect
will absorb moisture and u leak
age of current to the outside shell
and through the body TO ground. 1t
is not always the voltage, 10 volts
will do the trick. Take no chances,
secure weatherproof porcelain sockets
in these places and be safe.
Remember that saving money by
not having the electric wiring gone
over, inspected and repaired may be
very expensive economy.

T2AYT IOND'S GIRL
THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN SUNDAY STORY
A COMPLETE NOVELETTE,

This room Is warmest, l think" She
opened the door into the library,
Take off your things" Nothing
could be more winning than Mary
Boyds old-fashioned hospitality.
They sat down and smiled at each
other, the girl with a certain inquir-
ing wistfulness.
I'm sorry Mr.. Boyd isn't at home"
said Mary. HE comes to an early
dinner. You must stay and see him"
THANK you. It's very kind in you
to ask me. ! should like to see Mr..
Boyd. Father and l have heard so
much about him. about you both"
She paused, flushing. ITS rather an
accident my being here" she added.
The Whitcombs invited me to take
trip with them some time back.
Edith Whitcomb is a great friend of
mine. OF course, you don't know
who they are, but they're delightful
people. Anyway, we started early
this morning, but the roads were not
good and the chauffeur was COM
PEELED TO take a bad detour which
brought us into this town. Then the
car broke down and had to be put
into a garage. We went to the hotel
to wait. Mrs. Whitcomb felt rather
overcome, and suddenly l thought
I'd look you up"
I'm so glad you did" said Mary,
warmly. I'VE love company. It's
pleasant, of course, when Raymond,
my boy, is home. He keeps things
quite lively. You know Raymond
undoubtedly? He works in your
fathers office"
ooh, yes. / know Raymond very
WE'LL" With this the girl dismissed
the subject, and Mary felt a little
panied. Perhaps what Noble had
said was true-that Raymond was
not a favorite with the Holtons. She
sighed family and suggested asking
Harriet's friends TO dinner.
'I'm sure Mrs. Whitcomb couldn't
come. She lying down with a head
ache" Harriet explained. "But Edith
would love to come. You'll like
Edith"
mot better than do YOU" Mary
thought. She was eager for Noble to
see the girl. 1t was pity that Ray
mond hadn't taken to her. Harriet
seemed SO truly being to love and
be loved.
Edith Whitcomb was as charming
in her way as Harriet, and Noble,
when he came, quite lost his heart
to both.
Altogether they had a lovely time,
and when Harriet went away she
promised to come again and to write.
"And that fool boy of mine passed
her up for a little office snip"
groaned Noble for several days fol-
lowing.
Then came a letter from Raymond,
Mary read 1t aloud to Noble.
Mother, father, she's promised me,
though l don't know as she would If
it hadn't been for you"
Hadn't been for u.s." gasped
Noble.
"She took such a notion to old
dad. So she gave up her office work
this morning. She's been helping her
father bit, and she's going to begin
right off to get ready to be married.
The reason / did not bring her home
with me last Sunday is that she'd
promised those Whitcombs before
hand. Lucky, after all. for your saw
her unprejudiced by my presence.
Harriet Holton Boyd"
The letter dropped from Mary's
hand. But Noble began TO slap his
thigh and laugh.
Good boy, Raymond" he cried.
That's a surprise worth having!"
