Industry for many years. J. E. Dor-man.
They call me a scrub bull; yet I
have a pedigree. 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

respect. My own daughters seem to'
hold a grudge against me, saying that
I am responsible for their low pro

it is true. But what can I do? My

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.

The Kidnaped
Peasant Girl
By R. 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

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,
