 Well" Mrs. Jarr went on, as she puzzled over their rural relatives angular scrawl, Inc says tho Govern ment expert also told them over the radio that most of the strawberry jam the farmers buy in the city was made of nothing but pumpkins boiled With glucose, colored with aniline and favored with sympathetic flav- orfng."
 "He meant synthetic flavorinE," in. terjected MT. Jarr.
 And Uncle Henry says" continued Mrs. Jarr, that the Government ex- pert also told them that the straw. berry seeds in the jam were only timothy seeds. Uncle Henry asks Why feed pumpkins to the pigs when pure strawberry jam can be made for summer boarders out of them?" "Write him not to eat his pump- kins, then!" growled Mir. Jarr. Mrs. Jarr stopped short in her read ing of the letter from Uncle Henry to MT. Jarr as she sat at the breakfast table and dispensed the morning cof- fee early in the New Year.

 Why Uncle Henry says here that nc mas note for you, but don't see 1t. l guess he forgot to put 1t in." Well, what does he write about the | note? asked MT. Jarr. .-.Uncle Henry writes that you'll be l interested in one of the biggest real estate deals ever put through in Hays Corner. Lem Witherbee has sold his abandoned farm.

 Why Uncle Henry says he'll send you the note and you can take 1t to Wall Street and sell 1t to J. F. Nor gan or John D. Rockefeller. But he says you can tell MT. Morgan or Mir. Rockefeller that they can write to him or Cal Berkybile as to the financial responsibility of Witherbee, and any, thing-short of indorsing the note they'll say or do to help you dispose of it.. ...
 "Uncie Henry adds that he'd like to offer you a commission of two dollars, but as times are hard and Witherbee has big appetite now he's boarding out the note, you won't mind if no premium is paid you.
