 It was the wrong thing to have said at that moment. For if there was one thing that MT. Ransom could not stand, it was to be laughed at.
 His fury broke over her like a cloud burst. . Never mind what I'm register ing young lady." he roared at her. She had never heard so much sound coming from her usually

 She's not going to Hollywood!" Robbie gasped again.
 Her eyes were almost blank. Her lips parted with astonishment.
 But. of course. she is! You must have misunderstood her, Aunt Gertrude!" she went on im- patiently after a minute. Why I was just talking to her this morn- ing about having my trunks checked on her tickets! She couldn't have changed her mind! And besides her doctor says she's GOT to go"
 "All right, have 1t your own way!" snapped Aunt Gertrude, but I know what she said over the telephone just a second ago. i She says she's decided not to go | to Hollywood, but to some other place couldn't understand where. There was a buzzing on l the line."
 Robbie scrambled up from the ] floor and began to unbutton her | bungalow apron.
 You must have heard the whole thing wrong, Aunt" she said, talk | ing her navy serge dress out of the closet. "No matter where she's ! going, she'd still want me to go with her to look after Jean, wouldn't she. I think I'll run over to her house and find out what's , what"
 Mrs. Burrage's house was on Fitzgerald street, only a few 1 blocks away.
 In the long living room that ran across the front of it. Mrs. Burrage was lying on a lowered chintz ! sofa with pillows behind her head and new novel in her slender 1 hands.
 She looked very helpless and she gave Robbie a faint helpless little smile as she came in.
 My dear, you must think m terrible-to change my mind like this" she said, but when Mr. Bur rage pointed out to me that I could go to southern France and go into d LII bdn1ldIIulD lneIb that cures people by sunlight-and put Jean into a French convent, l just made up my mind that's where I'd go. It won't cost a cent more than Hollywood, and it will be so won derful to have Jean hear her French from the French people."
 She seemed quite thrilled with the idea.

ing the time it takes to write letter. the postage
used, and the further time it takes to get his

reprints all this comment and then modestly
says, $50, kind reader, you are looking upon a

conceit in the face of the fact that Ham knows
he has a son, now employed at the Gazette Of

"Old Man"-we have positive proof that he
can! This lad made up a page recently-so did
Ham. The two pages were judged, along with
a great many other country weeklies, and the
Gazette page which Son made up placed fourth.
"Father Hams" never got look in! And yet
in the face of that he has the crust talk about

THE ART OF CONVERSATION

Last night we dined in that old-fashioned way,
When men and women had some time to spend
And hearts and minds had something good to say;
And each was glad to harken to a friend.
The glasses glistened and the candles cleaned
And oh, how rare the conversation seemed
We sat about the table at our ease
And smoked and talked of days long gone be-
fore,
There was no: "Come to bridge now, if you
please"
Or: "Let's be off, The car is at the door"
The outside world seemed miles and miles away,
Dinner was done, but there we chose to stay.
We gossiped, yes, but in kindly way;
Exchanged ideas on all eternal things,
At times the room rang out with laughter gay;
At times it knew the silence sorrow brings
Who spends at dinner but meager hour
Gives neither wit nor thinking time to flower.
And there we sat- almost till mdnight's chime
Friends at table, spinning out dreams
And who shall say We wasted all that time?
That night is pleasant, if it pleasant seems.
Poor is that mind which has no thought to spare
And in a conversation cannot share.
Edgar A. Guest.

II ENR4 FORD says that years work on
RI farm can be done in twenty days, or
4 less, and is going to try it-by proxy.
If he merely means that with modern power
machinery and efficiency methods, given crop
can be planted in a few days and after an inter-
val of great many weeks, harvested in few
days, he is right. But there is nothing new in
that discovery. With ultra-modern tools
whatsoever, many Northwest farmer has prob
ably found that the blowing, planting, harvesting
and threshing of small field of wheat required
no more than twenty actual working days.
But what was the farmer doing between his
blowing and his planting, between his planting
and his harvesting, between his harvesting and
his threshng, between his threshing and his plow-
ing? How was the farmer occupied during the
long periods when rain and sun were helping him
prepare his soil and were sprouting and ripening
his grain?
Did he spend that time sitting the top
rail of a stake-and-rider fence, whiting off sv-
ers with his trusty barlow knife?
Not by jugful He spent that time Guilt
waiting his truck patch, stopping his pigs, feeding
and milking his cows, saving and splitting his
stovewood, tnkerng his farm implements, build
ing his corn crib, repairing his fences. picking
up boulders, cutting and curing the hay for his
horses, taking out stumps, digging bitches and
putting in tile, burning weeds, clearing under
brush spraying his fruit trees, making his dogs
lay off the poultry, Strengthening potato bugs,
crawling his lane, filling his ce-house, gathering
eggs, discriminating "variments,' cleaning out his
we'll and cistern, recapturing stray livestock,
chasing hunters out of his wood lot, writing let
tiers to his Congressman, and cussing his luck
and the weather.
Maybe Farmer Ford has machinery which
can do all this in twenty days each year. But
