PLOW SHARES

Fifty-Fifth Annual Match to

bobbing, broad hoofs sinking into
the black loan, the big bays and
blacks traverse the field while the
plowman guides the cleaning share
with sturdy hands.
Nearby tractor coughs and roars
as it draws a multiple share pillow
through the field, turning over a
wide ribbon of mellow earth. Other
plowmen follow, either with horse
drawn walking plows or tractors of
various types.
That scene will be enacted Sept.
10 on the farm of Ralph Patterson
at the fifty-f1fth annual renewal of
the Wheatland blowing match.
Some $4,000 persons from farm
and city are expected to watch the
rural classic, test of blowing skill.
All Ages Entered
There will be STRIPPING boys and
white-haired oldsters competing.
The grand champion will be the

done the best work, irrespective of
whether he uses hand plows or
tractor and irrespective of age.
The blowing is judged on the
basis of straightness of burrows,
uniformity of their depth and the
appearance of the field.
Each tractor entrant must pillow
an acre, each horse plow entrant
a half acre.
The Wheatland contest is mod
eled after the blowing matches
that were held on New England
farms when James Madison was
President.
The New Englanders wore plug
hats and formal dress. But the
farmers here will wear the regular
working garb.
Open to "the World"
In the past, the farmer who
drove horses usually scored higher
than the man who operated a
tractor.

the lengthening of the party

MORE PERSISTENT, NOR
MORE DAMNABLY CONVEN-
TENT, THAN THE HABIT OF
GRIEF.
General opinion to the con-
trary, it takes real courage and
determination to be a happy
person. For the world expects
much of happy people.
There are no excuses for the
woman who is happy. She is
supposed to take all the jumps,
energetically and cheerfully.
She mustn't loaf or duck or
whine or demand undue con-
Sideration.
But the sorrowful Soul-she's
different. Everyone is kind to
SorrowerS. Everyone makes
things easy for them. Every
one pays great deal of atten-
ton to them. A sorrower can
be as cussed and CO Hardly as
she pleases, and few will hold
her responsible, for isn't her
poor, dear heart broken?
And so it comes to pass that
many ornery humans actually
make a racket of their broken
hearts; and other silly souls
cherish and dramatize their
grief until they become really
vain about it.
Anne Parrish has wise words
on that subject in that dia-
bolically clever new novel,

courage, or can kid yourself
into thinking it doesn't apply
