II Is estimated that the mountain contains gram

Thousands Of girls have to work in

with often an aged or invalid father
or mother dependent upon them for
support Standing all day week in

deranged condition of her organic

meat animals, poultry, ETC., is the first
step toward permanent farm prosperity
and there can be no permanent farm
prosperity on anybody's farm until these
necessary items, fully sufficient for
home needs, are produced on home
acres, not only in 1923 but every year.
ITS a good time now to start the
prosperity program off right The first
thing in line is real home garden,
properly prepared. planted and kept re-

folks tell us that one-third to one-half

Corn and other grain and forage crops

poultry cannot fatten or produce eggs

line. Make food instead Of buy food

PeriiWiinkle
House
By OPIE READ

n Kentucky Colonel" n Tennessee
Judge" "4he JucklinS," etc.
A MOTHER tale of the old South
by Americas greatest story
teller. Mr.. Read is the last of the
able novelists born prior to the
Civil war. He was old enough
during that conflict to have a
clear recollection of it and to
retain some accurate impressions
of ante-bellum times. AS a re-
suit, he has been the romantic
historian par excellence of Dixie.
rPeriwinkle House" is not a long
novel; rather, a novelette,, but it
is the latest work of Opie Read
and therefore an event in liter
ature. 1t contains some new
manifestations of the authors
himor and philosophy, some
character types, love story, and
a treatment of episodes, all en-
tirely different from anything
heretofore written by him. Read
ing it is like turning back the
pages of time and going into an
earlierandmore romanticperiod.

On the Porch
By BERTON BRALEY

The evening air is soft and fair
And everybody somehow has
Desire to fee outside and be
At ease upon the cool piazza.
Inside the house the lights burn low,
Up in the trees the night-birds COO,
Ha nmocks are swinging to and fro,
And lovers sitting two-ahd-two.
Oh, mother knits while father sits
And smokes his pipe or his cigar
And young mems feet along the
street
Lead where the pretty maidens
are;
Music, soft laughter, seem to flow,
The front gates click as gates will
do,
Hammocks Swinging to and fro,
And lovers sitting two-and-two.
Dad ends his smoke, the older folk
Rise to their feet and say good
night,
And young romance will have its
chance
With only twinkling stars for light.
And youthful hearts are all aglow
With wonder that is ever new,
Hammocks are swinging to and fro
And lovers sitting two-and-two.
