y OGER BLAKE was the kind
Of man who normally would
have said he didn't have any
problems to disturb him because
he refused to let anything disturb
him. Naturally that wasn't quite
true. Roger was a bit Of a poseur
and humbug. il genial one.
But il was certainly true that ne
never had paced the floor as ne
was doing now. He did not APP
prove of Anne marrying Tony
Raymond and that was that, he
felt il was his duty to do soEne-
thing to stop it. but what2 Anne
had faced him coldly the next day
after Tony had swept her out OF
the house and said. 81 am marry
ing Tony in a few days" The
shock to him had been not so
much that she said It but the way
she said II. It was a grim de-
cision and not a happy one. And
above all things in life he had
wanted her marriage to be a
hanoy one.
Roger sighed as only a fat man
who is normally quite con-
tented man can sigh. Once Anne
was married and gone TO live in
the smart apartment Tony had
rented. nothing would ever be the
same. He couldn't keep the twins.
TIe had told Celia she would have
to take them. Already she was
on the way back for the wedding,
but had told him even over the
phone She was not taking the
DOES. Don would take them back
and come no more. Even Mary
had decided to retire again He
would be alone in an empty house
for the first time in his life. 1t
wos terrible thought.
Anne came in, followed by
Adele. They had been shopping
together in AdeIe's car in style.
Anne came at once to kiss her
father. and Adele shrilled at him:
Il have been telling Anne ever
since we met that she is crazy.

show what YOU are really made

Farm Mechanics
Handy Farm Ideas

CONCRETE FLOORS
FOR GRAIN BINS.

MY EXPERIENCE with concrete
floors for granaries and corn cribs
makes me wonder why so many
farmers still use wood floors.
Concrete floors are cheap in first
cost, especially if the farmer has his
own supply of sand and gravel and
can do the work between rush sea-
sons. There is practically no upkeep
If proper mixture is used, plenty OF
reinforcement is put In to prevent
cracking, and the fresh concrete il
protected from the hot sun
There is no obstruction to the use
of shovels or power leaders If the
surface is properly troweled, and 1t
acts as very definite anchor
against a long narrow crib tipping
over or being wrecked by a strong
wind
Best of all it stops most rat and
mice wastage from underneath and
such vermin can be entirely shut out
at no great expense.
About the only objection is that
some grain on the bottom may be
damaged by absorbing moisture from
the concrete. This will be mininized
If there is first put down fill of
about eight inches of broken rock
and coarse gravel, then a layer of
sand properly leveled off, then a
layer of heavy waterproof paper or

EASIER BUTcHERING

T. s. writes: "Here is how we save
a lot of time and labor in scalding
our butchering hogs, SO that we can
butcher several hogs without calling
on our neighbors for help.
We get the water to the proper
temperature, with. several hot irons
30 reheat if necessary. Then drive
the tractor to. the pen, kill the hog
and hang it to front end of the loader
hoist with log chains and hog hooks
and bleed it, and drive the tractor
into place SO the hog can be lowered
into the scalding water.
One of us operates the hoist up
and down while another checks the
scalding, keeps the barrel from up
setting, and drops m hot irons as
needed. When sca1ded, the hog Ia
raised and the tractor backed away,
and the hog lowered to the most con-
venient height and then scraped and
dressed. If there are more than one,
each one can be moved over and
hung on a pole or laid ON bench for
cooling and cutting. 1t is fun now to

mented joints, then three to four
inches of good concrete with woven
wire reinforcing each way.
The concrete surface should be
sloped one-fourth to one-third inch

the defending champion never re-
peats.
The old record for the length of
a championship final was set at
SO holes in 1923 when Max
Marston defeated Jess Sweetser at
Flossmoor, Ill.
The decisive hole was almost an
anti-climax. The New York ath-
lete, who also holds National COL
legiate records in basketball free
throwing, dubbed a pitch shot on
the seth hole. The ball moved
only 8 feet. His next try moved it
about Z feet from the pin.
Nearly Lost on seth.
Then while Stranahan, who also
had overshot the green, lined up
his putt, Urzetta sat on a hum
mock nearby, his head down and
his hands folded as in prayer
Stranahan struck the ball toe
crisply and it rolled IL feet past
the pin. He came back to within
IA quarter of an inch of the cup
and a quarter Of an inch that
brought both means and cheers
from the gallery of 1000 and gave
Urzetta life. The new champion
easily sunk the putt and off they
started on the extra holes.
The match was rugged anc
tough all the way, although
Stranahan never once was in the
lead. But only once, and then
for but two holes. did Urzetta
have a two-hole advantage. He
made the turn of the morning
round / up and went to lunch
with the same margin.
Urzetta went 2 up on the 22nd
when Stranahan Clipped clear
across the green, then had to chip
again before putting.
But Stranahan won both the
25th and 9th holes when Urzetta s
putter baked and the match was
even again. The new champion
birdied the goth with a 15-foot
putt to go up again. an advan-
tage he held only until the 33rd
where his putter betrayed him
once more, that evened the match.
