thought Martha cruel for not tell
ing the boy that his Dad wasn't
coming home. At times, she thought
she must tell him, but she post
poned it, feeling that, somehow, the
right time would come a time
when he might be strong enough
to stand the heartbreak. Perhaps
in few weeks before Joey re-
turned to school, or when Miller
moved in to sharecrop the farm.
The summer had come and gone
swiftly. Already the first sugges-
ton of impending autumn was no.
ticeable in the coloring of the
countryside. The crops had been
abundant, and the harvests were
good for Joey and Martha. Many
had bestowed compliments and
Joey glowed with pride when the
men had remarked about the size
of the yield during the threshing
season.
Returning home from a Saturday
shopping trip, the two were max
ing big talk about the coming
school term.
"We sure were lucky to get Mill

Saturday when they went to town,
she had persuaded him to stop in
to see old Doc Crane.
It hadn't taken Doc long to de-
eide that Joe should have some
arrays. The following month the
X-rays were taken by the county
health officer in the new mobile unit,
and Doc Cranes fears had been
substantiated. Doc suggested Ari-
IONA.
Martha could still remember
those two weeks when she and Joe
had planned how they could make
out if she could keep the farm 60
ing. Her father would help and
little Joey would continue to school.
Big Joe was not to worry, but ex-
ert all his effort toward getting
well again.
The first year, things had gone
very smoothly indeed, until the
rheumatism laid her father on the
shelf. Martha was desperate. All the
spring work lay ahead, and it was
impossible to find anyone to take
over the work. She had talked 1t
over with Joey, and together they
had decided to 60 it alone She
could still hear little Joey as he
said,
Gee, Nom, I'm big enough to
do the work. Grampa let me pillow
some last year, and I'm lots big
ger and stronger now"
So Joey had become the man of
the family. Then the telegram had

by side with Big Joe, and they had
sacrificed everything, denying
themselves the very necessities of
life in order to make the payments
on the farm. Then little Joey had
come to crown their happiness. A
mutual pride and joy which they
had shared in watching other things
grow on the farm had then been
centered in Joey.
Martha had decided that life was
practically perfect until one day
big Joe had come in from his work
in mid-morning. Surprised to see
him, Martha had inquired what was
wrong. Joe just stared off into
space, and then he answered.
Martha, there's something wrong
with me. I'm weak and tired all the
time. and I keep coughing and
coughing"
For the first time Martha noticed
how tired Joe really did look. She
suggested that he see a doctor at
once, but big Joe said he probably
just had spring fever. The following

er, weren't we, Mom?" asked Joey.
Eyes, son." replied his mother,
And not bit too soon either. I
|.don't know what would have done
with you going back to school If
we hadn't found someone to take
over this winter"
Suddenly Martha knew that the
time had come to tell Joey The un-
happy secret which she had carried
now for more than year in her
grief-stricken heart. But how could
she bring herself to do it? She must
strive to make it as easy as pos
sible.
She swung the car into their
lane, and pulled to stop in the
yard before the kitchen door. The
purchases were quickly unloaded,
and Joey lighted fire in the big
kitchen range. Now was the time!
Even before she removed her
wraps, Martha laid her arms across
Joey's shoulders, and began.
Joey, dear, there's something
I've been wanting to tell you for a
long time. I've been so proud of
you this summer, and l Well,
somehow it seemed l just couldn't
spoil everything you were working
SO hard for with bad news. Now
you're going back to school, and
we're so fortunate to have Miller
coming.
Il want you to work hard at
school this fall" she continued as
she noted the questioning look in
his eyes. Then she simply related,
God decided that you and had a
job to do together, Joey :. Your
Father will never be able to come
home. In fact" she continued as
she struggled to hold back the tears,
che may have only a few more
months to live
There was a long moment of ST.
lence . a moment which lasted
an eternity for Martha. "Oh, dear
God, make him understand, she
prayed silently.
Joey didn't say a word but drew
his mothers face to his own and
kissed her, tenderly and boyishly.
ne pdllSu iiel ooitiy VII tiie SiiSSh.
Jaw, gee, Nom, understand, t"
he said. and the tears stood in the
corners of his eyes. Martha could
see how brave he was trying to be.
"Now l better take care of my feed
| ing" he said somewhat hoarsely.
"Can we have the pecan roll we got
in town for our supper, Mom?" he
asked as he changed from his suit
coat into his overall jacket. The
coat was thrown carelessly across
! the seat of a nearby chair. Martha
watched him walk slowly from the
room, firm set to his shoulders.
HE took it like a man," she
thought, as she removed her own
wraps. Then she saw his coat lying
on the chair, and smiled, thinking,
HE acts like man in some ways,
but when it comes to his clothes,
he's all boy" She picked up the
coat to hang it properly. AS she did
so, a small notebook and some pa
pers tumbled from the inside
pocket. Gathering them up to re-
place them, Martha was startled at
the sight of the yellow envelope.
Could it be?
/ It was! Among the contents of
Joey's pocket was the well-worn and
much read telegram from the tu-
berculosis sanitarium.

/" JOEY, supper will be ready in
- half an hour" called Martha
to her son who was entering the
spring house with bucket of milk
in each hand.
20. K, Mom," shouted the lad
in response, I'm through with the
milking. I'll be in as soon as I
clean up"
Martha watched him few min
utes later as he trudged toward the
house. He was big for IA, and with
faithful "Shep" trotting along at
his heels, Joey made an impressive
picture against the backdrop of the
setting sun.
"Just like a magazine cover, y
thought Martha, as tears of pride
welled up into her eyes. Her little
man. Joey had shouldered burden
during the past year that many a
man could not have handled as well.
The blowing, planting, fence re-
pairs, and the thousand odd chores
that must be completed on a farm
had all been mastered by Joey. He
seemed to almost relish his role as
man of the house while dad was
| way.
Day after day he had toiled in
the fields with the team while other
| boys his age were swimming, fish
ing, and berrying, unhampered by
the cares of labor. But Joey had
seemed impervious to their COM
ings and goings. Many evenings at
the supper table, Martha noticed
the boy doing from exhaustion. A
spoon or fork would often pause,
suspended midway between mouth
and table. She never gave utterance
| to this observation of WEAKNESS,
| lest her sympathy eXtinguiSh his
| feeling of being the family bread
winner. Their conversations were
those of business partners rather
than mother and son.
Martha longed to tuck him in at
night, or to hug his tow head to
her breast. Little Joey was her only
consolation in her longing for Big
Joe. Countless times during the
lonely nights, she had tiptoed quiet
ly into his room to stand beside the
bed where he slept. Often she ca
ressed his blond head or kissed him
lightly on the cheek as he lay deep
in the refreshing sleep of child
hood. Each time, she struggled
within herself to check the tears
of love and loneliness as she slipped
quietly back to her own empty
room, fearful lest she waken him
and bring his big world tumbling
down around him.
Joey was living from day to day
in world of big responsibility, and
she could not, in spite of her long
ing to be more demonstrative to-
ward her 14-year-old, jolt him into
reality. She told herself that was
the reason why she had never told
Joey about his father.
Well-meaning friends had tried to
persuade Martha to sell the farm
and move to town. Her troubles
dated from the day she had re-
ceived the telegram from the Ari-
IONA hospital. Big Joe was never
coming back! He had a hopeless
case of tuberculosis was just a
matter of months. But how could
she tell Joey? The knowledge of
her unshared grief had caused her
to shed thousands of inner tears in
Joey's presence, and endless nights
of heart-breaking sobs in her own
room. But she felt that, somehow,
they must keep the farm that held
SO many fond memories.
The first days after she and Joe
were married had seemed almost
impossible. The work at the barn
and in the fields had continued end
lessly. At first, she had worked side

No Real Choice

FROM 1882 to the last political
1 campaign the American people
have had no real opportunity to
choose between the two political pro-
grams. In 1882 the Republican party
faced condition for which it was
in no way responsible. The depres-
sion was not American made. It
was the aftermath of World War I
and was, or had been, worldwide.
In that campaign the two parties
faced much the same problem.

tion-a bigger man than he was before.
His growth in stature has resulted from
an appreciation of honesty, courage and
intellectual capacity on the part of great
many people who may not have agreed
with him always but whose respect he
has won.
He is not going to be bowled over by
any newly come zest for salvation through
reform within the ranks of the party, but
he is pretty apt to be sound in the long
run and will insist on being shown that
he is wrong before he is willing to admit
it. There is highly promising material in
the ranks of the Republican minority
which made an effort to change leader
ship but its members could do worse than
string along with the Senator from Ohio,
even If they kick over the traces, as they
are apt to do now and then, when he tries

On October 81, 1867, the name of
Crosby s Noyes first appeared in the mast
head on this page as editor of The Star.
Yesterday the name of Frank B. NoyeS,
who was chairman of the board of The
Star Company when he died last Decem-

where it had replaced the name of his
brother, Theodore, editor of The Star from
February 21, 1908, to his death on July 4,
194e. Thus for the first time in more than
eighty -one years the Noyes name is absent
from The Stars masthead.
These three men, the father Crosby,
and his two sons Theodore and Frank,
made contributions to journalism and to
their fellow men that time will not quickly

Nipped in the Bud

There was some news in the fact that
insurrection showed its fearsome head in
the ranks of Senate Republicans. There
was less news in the victory Of Senator
Taft, which beat down the revolt and left
him more secure than ever as chairman of
the Republican Policy Committee.
Revolt is often a healthy thing. But it
is not difficult to understand why the
majority of Senator Taft's Republican
colleagues are content with leaving him
where he is He has dug himself in pretty
securely. The digging has been done by
honest toll in working for what he believes
to be best for the country and defending
1t by candid argument 1t has not been
done by softsoaping, by trading, by glad
handing, backslapping or promising.
Some of the things he stood for, in
shaping the policy of the majority in
the 8Oth Congress, were repudiated directly
or by implication in the past elections.
That record, in fact, became Mr.. Truman's
favorite whipping boy. But curiously
enough, Senator Taft came through the
elections-in which he was not personal
contestant after the Philadelphia conven-
