Inside the house there was the
fra.rance of cakes and buildings

Mrs. Hancock, wearing an en-

daughters guest with an in
formality wholly unknown to Van

After the meal came popcorn

The next morning they had a
sleight ride over the hills in which
the children joined. There were
visits to the homes of neighbors,

had never before encountered.

She scraped up the splinters

out OF the room.
Emily kept wondering about IT;
trying to find a reason for her

through another OF Mrs. Briggs

well enough acquainted with him
for marriage. Grotesque it
seemed then, but now Eimly ques-

Elephant or Tractor,
Question in Africa

In the Congo river basin of Africa,
where the soil is perhaps as rich as
anywhere else In the world, there is a
merry rivalry between American trac-
tors and elephants as motive power on
the farms. The big beast driven by
a mahout for salary of "a cents q
day can turn the sod of one and
quarter acres. Outside of a little salt
the elephant can find his own feed. It
is not bothered by the tsetse fly, SO
fatal to other domestic animals.
A tractor is figured to be IA times
more costly to run. But its initial
cost is about $500 to the elephants
$1,000, and it can turn the sod of 20
or more acres in day. So each has
its advantages. After nearly 30 years
Of experiment there are available in
the region only "a elephants sufficient
ly trained for use on the farms.
