A Splendid Work
Every Farmer Should Be Member
County Agent Lenzmeier
Competent

Every farmer in every township
in Stearns county is going to be
personally invited by neighbor to
join the farm bur eau, is the predic-
ton of c. l.. Arnold, president of the
county farm bureau. At recent
meeting of the county Farm Bur
eau board, plans were made where

out and canvass their communities
to tell non-member neighbors of
the advantages of belonging to
Americas largest farm organiza-
ton.
Quotas have already been set and
communities are now voicing with
each other in ar effort to exceed
their allotments of new members.
Especial emphasis will be placed
on the present campaign because
of it's emergency nature, says ]. S.
Jones, secretary-rreasury OF the
Minnesota farm bureau. The farm
bureau leader explained that the
entire national recovery plan is
dependent on organization. All
other Iires of business are organ
ling in order to reap the full bene-
fits to be wrung from the new deal
legislation. Farmers also must be
fully and compactly organized, and
the million members of the farm
bureau extend an invitation at this
time to the millions Of non-mem-
bers to affiliate with them in their
fight for farmers rights.
"When only organization can win,
why stay unorganized," a veteran
farm bureau member asks.
Those who are directing the mem
bership work in the various town.

Arnold, Watkins; John A. Willen-
bring, Richmond; Edwin MANI,

"Whar yuh steal dis applejack,

She told him, giggling; and
the swift gurgle of the jug
blended with her musical gigg)e.
"Yuh tas'e hit?" he inquired.
"One Ill swaller, Bob"
Concentrated Thought
1t was quite enough for her
too, bringing heat to her cheeks
and body and chilled feet. She
climbed up into the loft and,
curling up deep in the hay, lay
silent, trying to see her way to
some clear, safe end before q
military court ended her and
saved her all trouble Of further
thinking.
In a little while it became
plain to her that Yellow Bob
was getting drunk.
Lucille" he shouted, come
hyah an play ring-around-a-
rosie wifi me!
His loud voice alarmed her,
and she thought "it better to
descend.
Yellow Bob was dancing
around in the dark, singing
"Ring-Around-a-Rosie," and
suddenly the full danger Of
his condition dawned on the
girl, as he seized her and made
her dance in a circle with him
at dizzying speed. She tried
to get loose; his grip held her,
and he made her sing with
him, as they whirled there in
utter darkness:
Ring -Around-a-RoSie,
Who's got the posy?"
until one Of his hands slipped
and she tore the other loose
and reeled away.
BY sheer luck she landed
against the loft ladder, and

He yelled for her awhile, but
couldn't find her. He was
neither very drunk nor beastly
yet: he was playful, boastful.
Operator 13, now thoroughly
afraid of him, peered down
through a crack in the blanks
where she lay flat on her stom-
ach in the hay. listening to his
singing and shuffling capers.
but unable to see him in the
darkness.
Suddenly q lantern cleaned
at the doorway, and she saw

Around-a-RoSie," jug in hand.
Also, she saw a more terrify-
ing sight-two men, one hold
ing the lantern. He was Yes.
pasian Chancellor. And with
him, his head and face band
aged and only his eyes visible,
was Jack Gailliard.
When Yellow Bob recognized
his visitors he Sobered a little
and tried to conceal his jug.

Bob.
Honey, would yuh go out an

she wheedled.
Cit it yuhse'f," he muttered.
"Hit's a-rainin'," she whined.
"Das why done say; git it

"Yuh done got me in trouble.

'1'se gwine out" she said.
"Whar you traipsin' now?"
"Gwine 60 find me . blue

"Hunh!" he grunted. "Yuh
jes try it,"
She tried it, but was stopped
in the street. She had no pass;
dared ask for none.
There was no way to get out
of this dark, rain-drenched
Pennsylvania town. No way to
get news to Averell or to Col.
onel RuSh's lancers. Yet some
how she had to escape. Death
certainly awaited discovery, and
discovery was inevitable if she
were obliged to continue with
the cavalry on their return
march.
Gus Littlefield had said:
Better a bullet in the back.
ma'am, than dancin' a sunset
jig in Dixie" The Sunset
Dance" was at a ropes end.
Bullets were kinder.
She brooded over this until
she was scared cold; then reso-
lutely forced the horror from
her mind.
On her way back to the barn
she noticed a candle burning in
an clubhouse behind it, and saw
a fat citizen in his shirt sleeves,
lowering corked jugs into a well
for purposes Of concealment
from thirsty Confederate cav
alrymen. She could smell APPLE
jack. too.
A clatter Of a cavalry patrol
In the street sent the Dutchman
scurrying so fast that he for

orator 13 crept into the latticed
wellhouse, picked up two jugs
and crept out again on noise

"Bob?" she called softly. "Does
yuh love toddy?"
OeDpll IN yum, yaIIer gal!
Whar am de toddy?"
Bob, done fotch yuh a jug
Of applejack."
Bob sat up quickly. "Is yuh

mo, Suh."
He made his way to her in
the dark, felt the cool jugs in
her hands, clutched at them.
"Gor almighty" he chuckled.
