Rose, Jr. from her seat, in the mulberry tree close by," where -she perches on a limb and shells various things, dropping the hulls down in a cotton basket said, "All I want to have is fifty acres of watermelons, no freezer and no husband." I listened with a growing sens(J or dismay and tried to remember when mama was snowed under with fruits, of field and orchard along with garden sass by the tubs: how I hated to sit and flies would, crawl on my bare feet, splashed with watermelon juice, the grown ups would talk of things I wasn't supposed to hear, and mama would spell out words, and often say with a nod in my direc iion.

"Kememoer little pitchers have big ears." Still I remembered the joy of mama putting newspapers over everything and taking all the chil- Idren both white and colored, to the swim hole for an hour. No mat ter that we were as hot and tired as could be, the thought of splash ing around in the mill tail for a few minutes was enough to put zip in our legs.

For frankly, I think I have some good future husbands and one wife in my family. at least they will know how to shell peas and beans.

I am delighted that so many of you enjoyed the true stories of the salesmen who have come calling at mama's house and later at my own home. It might interest you to know Mr. T-Bo Bellue came calling on me last week with his black sample case a much improved pie filling. He presented me with a bottle of Apple Blossom toilet water, from his vast array of toilet articles. I have another story of the vacuum cleaner man who came calling and stepped into trouble the minute he walked up on my just painted front porch.

Some have tried to call me before coming and couldn't get me on the I phone. I am at home most of the jtime, and when working in the garden or tending to the chickens I can't hear the phone. if I don't answer drive out anyway. I'll leave a note on the front porch, where I am and you can look me up and help dress chickens, pick peas or. shuck corn.

Rouse of Greenville, Miss. I don't as a rule put jokes in this column; however our whole family liked this one so much it is being copied from the Mississippi Power and Light paper. "The man sought medical aid because he had popped eyes and ringing in his ears. The doctor immediateily took out his tonsils. No improvement.

A second doctor suggested he have his teeth removed. He did still no improvement. A third doctor told him bluntly that he had only six months to live. The doomed man shrugged his shoulders and decided to make the best of his remaining days. He bought a flashy car, hired a chauffeur, had the best tailor in town to make him 330 suits, and decided to have his shirts handmade.

I said the shirtmaker. "Let's get- your measurements. Hmmmm, 34 sleeve, 16 collar. "Fifteen collar," corrected the man. said the shirtmaker, rechecking the measurement.

We had been watching Amanda for several weeks, trying to find where she was making a nest. her feathers had been plucked almost to the meat and that is a sure sign of a setting mother duck. The boys hunted up and down the hog branch banks; no Amanda.

Three days ago, with loud quacks and many cries of "look what a smart duck I am," Amanda brought up five little babies. wide and yellow of feet, big of bill and soft and cuddly white. Rose, Jr. was enchanted and wanted to put a baby in her bonnet and take it around and hunt bugs and fat worms for it The mother was frantic and took a piece out of my daughter's leg.

Falls ranked second as a cause of fatal injury among these in-sured women, accounting for a-bout one seventh of all the deaths from accidents. Conflagrations and burns by other means were responsible for about one tenth of the fatalities. Drowning and poisoning in the latter case, mainly by the barbiturates or the absorption of gas also contributed measurably to the toll.

This dates back to 1876 when an Englishman smuggled the steds of 17 rubber trees out of. rubber empire of the Malays and Indonesia.

Somewhat the same thing happened with quinine, chocolate, coffee, tobacco. All were developed in' Latin America, except tobacco; but, taking advan- tage of slave labor in Asia-Africa, not nign, were mucn mgiier mtui the African-coolie slave labor of the European colonies.
