I was sired by, a scrub, dam'd by a scrub, and am treated like a scrub, and I some times think that I am owned by a scrub- My tribe outnumbers pure bred bulls four to one. Just why I should exist is a mystery oven to me. Yet, I am not responsible for It. I was brought Into tho world without my consent and I shall probably leave it against my will. In the mean time I am getting the most vicious publicity, principally through the, farm press. They say I am a renegade , and an abomination, and should be , exterminated. Dairymen passing mj owner's farm look at me with con-1 tempt; oven tho cows show me no, respect. My own daughters seem to' hold a grudge against me, saying that I am responsible for their low pro duction. I cannot argue the point, for it is true. But what can I do? My owner must think a lot of me person ally, or he would not continue to sup port me, knowing that I can never improve tho quality of his herd or be a source of profit to him, Thoso cow Soybeans in corn are proving to be a satisfactory crop for hogging off" according to reports received at tho Agricultural College from men in eastern Nebraska who grew this com bination last year. Thirty-seven out ot forty-seven men voted that putting soybeans in corn was a good practice last season. They expect to grow more next year. The housewife ha.H long followed the practice of cooking starchy and protein foods for a meal. Just as succotash of corn and beans Is a good combination for human food so corn and soybeans make a good hog feed. On farms where alfalfa or clover hog pasturo Is lacking, the combination is particularly good. An early variety of soybeans such as Ito San, Habaro, Black Eyebrow, Manchu and others should- be selected. Al though the best results aro secured when the beans aro planted with a special bean attachment for planters, they can be mixed with tho corn, if often stirred to prevent the beans from settling to tho bottom. Surfaco planting, putting tho beans in rather shallow, is to be preferred over list ing. Four to six pounds of beans per acre is enough when planted with corn at the regular rate. Although there is little experimental data to show the effect of tho beans on the corn yield, only four of the forty-six men thought there was any decrease duo to beans. Tho Agricultural Col lego will furnish additional informa tion regarding soybeans. :o:- FARMERS Wo weld all kinds of parts for ah kinds of machinery. Work guarante ed and prices reasonable.

RAY BAKER , 1922. by UcClur Nawipaper Syndlcut. It was all very well, this being kid naped, until the masked man at the wheel of the auto tried to kiss her. Then the girl let out a scream thnt the valley walls hurled buck and forth through the pine woods. Tho kidnaper had drawn up beside the road, and without a word had placed his arm around the girl, Im planting n smacking kiss full on her red lips. Until now It had seemed like a grand lark, but nfter that well, she really was frightened now. Tho man was In garments evidently Intended to proclaim him as a knight, but it was rather Inconsistent attire, lie wore army legglns over blue trou sers, and a striped blouse of red and yellow. A sword with n dented scab bard hung from his waist, und n pink domino with a red hood surmounting all. The face was clean-shaven and the part that showed was not at all repulsive. The girl appeared to be a peasant of central Europe. Her face well, the red lips and dimples were all that could be seen, because she was masked, too, with a thin strip of white. When tho girl screamed the man released her and appeared taken aback. She was older, thnt wns certain, al though not much older. "Well, how what " ho stammered. "That's what I Bay," she exclaimed. "How what " "It's got mo bent," be declared. "Do you happen to know Mnxtnc Brooks?" "I certainly do. She's my younger sister. Hut she left town yesterday shortly ufter I arrived to visit Aunt Sarah." Garvin's heart sank. So this was the outcome of the carefully laid elopement plans. He stepped on the starter and turned the car out In the road, heading It for Sarcndnc. For some time as they rode along no words passed between them. So Mnxine had gone back on him I Well, he didn't understand It, but he wasn't going to play the fool by asking questions. But the car took a hand In the gunie, A rear tire went lint and Garvin had to mend a puncture because the extra was at a vulcanizing station undergo ing repairs. It was fully an hour be fore the car was ready, und then, aft er going the distance of a block, it stopped nnd could not be Induced to move. With a flashlight Oarvln ex plored In the hood, but was unable to remedy matters. The girl tried to help and got dubbed with grease, but she didn't seem to mind. "I'm Just n peasant, anyway," she snid, smiling. No, she was not Mnxine. She was too willing to help nnd too patient. Mnxine would have fretted and fumed nnd made no effort to help matters. Garvin was beginning to like the girl. "Well, I cun't fix It," he, finally ad mitted as he walked nway from the hood und tripped for the fourth time 'MECHANICAL MOTHER' FOR DES&ftTEP LAMBl ah tlin tlnnrrll ntr annhlinrtl Wlillo tth "Why, what's the matter?" ho asked, iaUghed merrily he detached the sword ft i.t 8 t.t i.t H ft p ft ft ft ft i.t I harrow; 1 John Deere boot cultivator; 1 ooot puuor; 1 new nioune gang plow; John Deoro riding plow; walking plow; 3 corn culti vators; now McCormick mower; 2 Dompstor mowers; Deerlng mow er; Dempster stacker; 3 Dempster swoops; 2 hay rakes; corn sheller; corn planter. 3 BOZ CHICKENS 100 BUSHELS EARLY OHIO SEED POTATOES FREE LUNCH AT NOON TERMS OF SALE All sums of $20 and under cash; on sums over that amount a credit of six months tlmo will be given on np provod notes bearing 10 per cont Interest from dato of sale.

LANQFORD, Clerk astonishment In tho voice, which de cidedly wns not gruff. "Matter?" she exclaimed Indignant ly. "Don't you think you are carrying this escapade a little too far?" "Too far?" he echoed. "You don't mean to sny that a man hnsn't the right to kiss the girl he Is eloping with, do you?" She lnughed scornfully. "Eloping? Seems you're taking a lot for granted. Perhaps you're In sane. Yes, I think that's it. No man in his right mind would talk and act like you." Garvin Haskell really was puzzled by the girl's behavior. What was the matter with Maxlne? Hadn't she agreed to elope from the costume ball with hi in Had she changed her mind after all the carefully arranged plans? Well, he knew she was fickle, but It did not seem rensonnble that she would back out now. There wns no good reason for nn elopement, anyhow. Mnxlne's parents were dead, and Garvin's folks never had displayed an Inclination to meddle In his affairs of the heart. He had enough money In his own right to care for a wife, and In fact his father and mot her were rather nnxlous for him to settle down. But Maxlne had Insisted on eloping, In order to hnve a taste of romance. She wanted to surprise her nunt, with whom she wns staying while visiting In Sarendnc, for one thing, and she wanted some excitement when she took the marriage vows. Garvin had been trying ever since he became acquainted with her two months ago to induce her to have him. She had put him off, laughing until the time enme for the masked ball. "Yes, I'll mnrry you, Gurve," she said, "but It's got to be nn elope ment. You dress ns a knight and I'll be a peasant girl. After the fifth dance I'll meet you under the big oak tree on the lawn and we'll elope. The arrangements for n minister, of course, are up to you." "And I'll call when?" inquired the elated Garvin "You won't call at all," she said. "I'll go to the dance with some of the girls, and you go alone. That'll make It more romantic." Garvin made the necessary ar rangements, which Included marriage by a minister In the neighboring town of Charlotte. He dressed as a knight to the best of his ability and went to the dance alone. And there wns his beloved, dressed In the peasant costume, exactly fitting the descrip tion Maxlne had given him. Yew. she had met him under the oak at the np pointed time, and he had carried her off In the auto. And when he pulled up beside the road to claim a kiss as his just due she screamed. They snt in silence for a few mo ments after the conversation that fol lowed the scream, and It began to dawn on Gnrvln that there must be a mistake somewhere, "Would you mind removing your mask?" he nsked the girl "Not if you will do the same," she answered. For reply he removed the domino and at once the girl lifted the cambric Yes, It was Maxlne. In tho pale moon light her countenance showed tip as lovely as ever, except that It seemed n trifle older, but, no doubt, that was due to the shock of being almost kissed. That was not quite consistent either, for Garvin never had supposed Mnxine to be that unsophisticated, ne scrutinized her closely, and she re turned the stare. Yes, It was Maxlne's eyes, and the nose nnd hair were hers. But why the change in her at tltude? "Maxlne," he began, clearing his throat, "I don't " "Maxlne I" she exclulmed. "I'm not Mnxine. What mado you think wns?" The moon's rays became brighter and threw It on tho car floor. "We're miles from any habitation, nnd this Is an unfrequented road. It's more ro mantic than the main thoroughfares, that's why Maxlne wnntcd why I chose It." 'Then there's nothing to do but spend the night here," snid the girl. "It Isn't very proper, but circum stances don't recognize proprieties." Slier curled up on the sent, while Gurvlu tried to make himself com fortable on the running hoard. Yes, MaxIne'B sister was extremely like able. Why hadn't he met her first? They stayed awake by conversing on various subjects, which became more nnd more personal as the hours pussed. "Please tell me how It happened my kidnaping you instead of your sister," Garvin finally urged. "Before I left home," said the girl, "I had a talk with Maxlne's former fiance, with whom she quarreled some time ago. He gave 1110 u message and when Maxlne received it she went back to marry him. She asked 1110 to substitute for her at the ball and said she would urrange for me to meet a very nice man under the oak tree. I didn't know about the elopement plan, of course, and I thought It would be just u lark. And it seems I thought right." They became better acquainted, while the frogs warbled in tho nearby marsh und Lunn sank beneath the western horizon. When dawn crept up from the east the girl yawned nnd hud an Idea. "Did you look ut the battery wire?" Garvin had not, but he did, und found It loose. Remedying the trouble, he stepped on the starter, then paused to remark: Love at first .sight U wonderful, Isn't It? Shall we ds It w?" Her answer was Inaudible, but when the machine rolled along the road it carried two elopers toward Charlotte, NOTICE 1 will not be responsible for any debts, contracted by my wife, Alma P.
