leaves of the shade-grown tobacco
upon laths to hang in the sheds.
Attired in well worn shoes, khaki

The newspaper stories of Calvin go

that he had taken a job at a dollar q
day, but the proprietor said this after
noon. that the youngster was getting
$500 for nine-hour day. And
added Mr.. Day. "he is certainly well
