CHAPTER IL

It was a pleasant house, the old
brown Methodist parsonage at Red
Thrush, Iowa. While 1t was old in
point Of years, it was not called the
old parsonage for it's age, but because
new one was in projection.
1t Is true that it boosted all modern
improvements, but they were i'm
provements so obviously added to cater
to a progressive generation that they
fitted but inharmoniously into its gen.
eral contour. The bathroom had been
painstakingly Installed in corner
bedroom. Electricity had been wired
in, at as little expense as possible. A
furnace had been introduced into a
cellar room, and at that time, to ia.
cilitate the piping, the partition be.
tween parlor and sitting room had
been removed to make one large liv-
ing room, in strict conformity With
the style.
It was the living room which boosted
the second charm of the old house,

room Perhaps, in the most technical
phraseology, 1t was not altogether a
circular staircase, but 1t curved grace
fully upward, and gave the same
effect The girls loved it.
But where the old parsonage was
merely of q drab pleasantness, the
new one was to be mouel of modern
architecture. 1t was to have electric
refrigeration-a parsonagel Only five
houses in Red Thrush had electric re.
frigeration-th the new parsonage would
be the sixth
In the true sense OF the discipline, .
the old parsonage was no parsonage at
all. 1t was merely house, owned b.
q member, and rented to the church
for its pastoral use for ten dollars q
month. The Methodist church had
thrust its small spire above the sur.
rounding naples wnen there were no
more than dozen houses in the
township, sraunch little testimony
to the indefatigable determination OF
early Methodism. The building itself
had not been much in its best days,

Raisins Fed to Cattle

Cattle feeders are buying raisins
from the Fresno (Calif) district for
feeding cows, hogs and sheep on the
basis of SIG ton. Records show the
raisins have fully this value as feed.
On former tests, it is said, the raisins
were of such poor quality that feeders
were discouraged, but when a better
quality was tried good results were
obtained. If a large enough demand
is created it is thought that the aver
age market price can be brought up
by this use of surplus raisins.-Cap
