Zephaniah 1:17. Horse and Buggy Stuff (By William Ackworth) wants to be grown-up? Ive got my life to be grown-up in. Im only twenty-five. WhTat shoul I be, serious all the time? Never! Dont think of it. Shouldnt we be going, though? I wrote tlie folks you promised 1 5 land at the airport at the stroke of five.

A -v -r PAYLE loved every minute of the flight from New Haven to the airport 25 miles from Calvin. She had been up twice before withr Bart and had perfect faith in hisv skill as a pilot. It was seven minutes of five when he circled the Ohio airport twice and then brought th6 plane in for a perfect landing. Gayle could hardly wait to be helped down from the plane. Through the window she could see the family Studebaker, and she knew that the great moment had come, the moment when Bart-ahd her mother and father would meet.

But just as her foot touched the ground, panic hit her. Suppose they didnt like each other! Oh, but they had to! They must! But suppose She was proud of her parents and proud of Bart when the actual meeting occurred. Neither gave her the embarrassment of making an unnecessary introduction. Her father held out his hand and said, You know how glad we are yeu are here; Bart; and Bart said, 1 think I do, sir, and Im just as glad. Gayle was afraid her mother might be shy and formal, but she wasnt.

She smiled into Barts eyes and said, Nobody could live up to your advance notices, and we shant expect you to. Ill be satisfied if youre only half a3 nice as you look. I kied Barts father, Gayle murmured. Barts smile was its most boyish when he explained, couldnt help himself. a But youre not, Mrs.

Kent. I cant help myself either. she said, lifting her arms to embrace him. Gayle sighed heavily in relief. Thats over forever! she cried.

Now we can all be ourselves. Bets go home. (To Be Continued) oycamore Author ot The Plastic Aje A Tree Grown Straight Etc. mJ a perfect Then he thanked me, and then he said, How did you happen to let that woman live? I asked him what he was talking about, but he said never mind, just to give you a message for him. Thats what' Im waiting for.

66TTE said, Bart his A frown of puzzlement deepening, Tell her it is my fault. I asked him what he meant, and he you would know. Do you? Believe it or not, I have a faint idea. Gayle, who was listening to the conversation, forgave Rose for the picture at that instant. Roses smile had faded, and she was never more serious than when she looked up at Bart and asked, But you think he liked the drawing? I know he did.

He said 1 couldnt have given him a present he would have liked better. And, oh yes, he told me something else to tell He said, You tell the artist I dont know any tl ling I hadnt suspected. Maybe Im dumb, but I dont know what he meant by that either. He looked at Gayle. Do you know what its all about? She smiled at him tenderly.

Of course, and you are dumb not to see. That was a real character sketch Rose did, and your father was smart enough to see it was. Rose made you look awfully young and you are, you know. Your father meant it was his fault you werent more grown-up. I think hes a little worried because you arent.

Its all plain enough. Rose turned and marched out of the murmuring, Jeepers, but love is wonderful. Barts big laugh drowned her words, however, and neither he nor Gayle heard them. Is that rJl? he cried, relieved. I was looking for something subtle.

The case before him was C. J. Kastners $50- damage suit against James E. Trask. -Trasks Norwegian elkhound, and Kastners bull 'terrier, Tiny, had got into a scrap.

Tiny landed in the dog hospital. Judge John L. Rounds ruled in the defendants favor after witnesses-testified that Tiny was the aggressor. A B-29T superfortress contains 5000 pounds of rubber, 1 Having decided to quit farming, I will sell at Public' Auction at the place 2 miles south and 1 miles east of Stark, or miles east and V. south of Kimball, on WEDNESDAY, OCT.

16 Commencirfg at 10 oclock sharp, the following described property: If you have daughters away at school you will understand the trouble I am in. This morning we had a letter from the youngest, now attending a girls school. She is ten dollars more. And I said to my wife: You will recall when she was born we talked of drowning her; but we kept putting 1 it off and now look what has happened. I never open a book or magazine or look at a newspaper without finding some man bragging on his dog and telling how.

smart he is. I consider most dogs unfair, unreasonable and often a nuisance. Many other animals are far more intelligent and worthwhile. A few months ago a red squirrel decided to build a home on the limb of a tree just outside the window where I do my work. I have never had a more agreeable inoffensive neighbor.

He is a marvel at minding his own business, and works hard every day improving his home and storing away food for the winter. I chat almost daily with this squirrel and find him intelligent and well-informed. He tells me he has a supply of nuts and other food wasted by foolish human-beings which will carry him through a long winter. I know of no dog intelligent enough to save for the future. The best my dog has ever done is to bury a bone and then forget where she buried it.

And my dog hates this squirrel although he has never spoken a word to her or offended her in any way. But she lies in the window for hours, hoping to catch him asleep and devour him. My dog also hates the white cat which lives with the lady who occupies the apartment downstairs. This cat is a friendly fellow and entirely harmless but my dog regularly chases him up a tree when he leaves the premises for recreation and night Visiting. Quarrelsome dogs, like quarrelsome people, are never intelligent.

But a deg seems to have a spe- cial genius for working his way into the affections of his owner. My dog Tillie actually has more privileges around the house than I do and is daily coddled by the women folks. The pother day she fell through a window screen, causing damage amounting to the women uttered no word-of protest. On the same day I broke a 15 cent glass while in the kitchen getting a drink of water; they are still growling about it. A pessimist is a fellow who has spent a good deal of time listening to optimist orations and reading optimist books.

Nearly every day a man tells me how clever his daughter of six is. Yes, yes, I understand how clever all young daughters are. I have had two. For years I lay awake nights thinking up clever things for them to say the next day. The equality talk we encounter in the newspapers and magazines and hear over the radio is pretty tiresome.

We all say we do, but no. American can actually believe in equality for the other fellow. I know of no labor leader who believes in equality for factory owners or any factory owner who believes, in equality for workmen. Every American I know is trying to gouge and pry his way into riches at the expense of friends and neighbors. It is a favorite pastime for white men to say they believe in equality for negroes.

And even the negroes, formerly honest, are now saying all they want Is a square deal; they actually want much more. Lets quit the foolish equality talk; when we tell a lie we should try' to tell. one with some slight element of plausibility in it. George just loves to fish, a house-wife lately said to me. He certainly does.

Whenever I try to get him to perform an honest days work around my house, hes always down at the creek fishing. There should be a law against fishing except on Sundays. Do you know how to talk over the telephone? I doubt it. One man who regularly calls me repeats and repeats after he has delivered his message. The other day I was not feeling well and interrupted to ask: Do you have anything more to say! Well, I guess not, he replied.

Then why in the hell dont you hang up. Another man is trying to call me. 4 Items From The Register 4 October 14, 1921. 4 4 $15,000 more federal aid came through the mails to the county commissioners this morning and, needless to say, they accepted it by return mail.

Oh yes; the first thing this morning and he said the funniest thing. Roses blue eyes began to gleam, and her cheeks puffed in an anticipatory smile. He did? What was it? He sent you a message. Whats funny about that? Is it a comic valentine? From his six feet, Bart looked down at her, and puckered his forehead in a frown. but it was funny.
