- X. Ttelan asked amiably as. she fell
into stepJ- beside the .steadily Yloddlng
figure she had "overtaken. "It's a fins
evening-, isn't It 7
----'"I don't know what way you're goln',"
T. Paer answered her. shortly, "but I do
know we go the same way very often."
"No," Polly Tlclan smiled, - "you're
always shooting off at a tangent."
"Well." T. Paes told her. "maybe I do,
but I aim to shoot straight at what 1
shoot at, anyway." .
"The moon's too beautiful to get into
an argument,". Polly Ticlan suggested
coyly. "Let's see if we can't get along
once without 'Scrapping."
."You better hop a car, then, or not
talk," T.'Paer grunted. "Some way you
always seem to stir me up."
"You got a cantankerous disposition,"
Polly remarked, diplomatically. "I cm
never seem to say anything that.you'llM
"It ain't my disposition that starts it."
T. Paer retorted, "but what you eay."
"All -i right." Poll wtiueded, "but
Where's the fight tonignt?" ,
"The fight's over," T.. Paer answered.
'I'm just goin over to watch George
Thomas get the school board to help him
take another pleasure trip."
."What do you mean by pleasure trip?"
Polly asked stiffly. "If it wasn't for
George's .deep sense of duty you don't
think he'd go back East in the heat of
summer, do jrou?"
-
'The hotter it is, the colder ice cream
tastes." T. Paer answered. "You kipw,"
he added, "they Invented mint juleps not
so awful far from Washington."
. "George 1a going back to make some
purchases for the schools," Polly stated
with posltiveness. "He told the board
SO a week ago." "
VChickens're Just as cheap in Oregon
as in Washington," T. Paer answered,
"'nd our crabs' better'n them soft-
Shelled ones 'nd near beer's just as plen
tiful. If we got to fat him up a. little
more, why can't we feed him Oregon
tuff 'nd save the freight?"
"What has air that got to do with his
going to Washington?" Polly ssked
crisply. "He's going to buy things for
the schools."
1 "All right." T. Paer contended, "but if
we got to educate him with hot birds nd
.cold bottles we could have 'em expressed
out cheaper'n we can send him back
there In a Pullman."
"I don't get this hot bird stuff," Polly
said heatedly. "Who said anything
about themT" , . ;
"George did," T. Paer answered.
"That's the argument he made for gola'
back."
"I didn't hear about it.", Polly an
swered. "He want to make a speech
back at the N. K. A. convention besides
going to Washington
"Why don't he can It 'nd send the rec
ord back?" T. Paer asked. "If he did
that some of the delegates might think
it was a new toddle 'nd hear part of It,
anyway."
.
Jfhere's no use talking to you," Folty
snapped, -but It's been worth. It for the
Doara to eena ueor ut. inns
he's gone. . What's 14300, anyway?" Fol
ly Ticlan asked querulously, "xou re
raising more holler about George's spend
ing that in six trips than if he'd stole
a horse."
" "Little drops of water, little grains of
sand make the mighty ocean: and the
promised land. T.J Paer quoted. "It
ain't that $4300 I'm kickin' about,
but if the directors sluff that oir so
easy for something that don't get 'era
anywhere, how're we to know they ain't
got the habit all down the liner
"You point out where they're wasting
any money." Polly challenged. "It's
easy to holler."
"WelU" T. Paer answered slowly. "I'll
Just point to George's junkets ilrst 'nd
then I'll ask you to show where they're
savin' any: money. . That's fair enough,
ain't it?" : '
"They're! not spending any more than
they ought to," Polly answered easily.
"We owe an education to our children."
"Abe Lincoln was pretty smart," T.
Paer mused. nd he swum in the crick
nd studied before the fireplace."
"Our children are entitled to modern
conveniences." Polly insisted. "You
don't exoect ub to build log houses be
cause Lincoln studied in them, do you?"
"Well," T. Paer answered, "the way
I look at It there's .more Importance In
what you get' out of a schoolhouse than
In what you put in it.
"But this Is 1921, not 1821." Polly con
tended. "We do things different now
"We sure do." T. Paer agreed. "We
send George back to cram some clerk's
middle with crab looey 'nd argue that
it'll put .brains into the kids back home.

Farmer Bron'i Boy.
JENNY and Mr. Wren kept right on
carrying sticks,, and straws Into the
sleeve of the old coat of Farmer Brown's
; Boy. It took a lot to fill that sleeve.
In the first place, some dropped, out at
. the bottom of the sleeve for, of course.
that was open. Jenny . didn t notice tnis
at first. Mr. Wren discovered It.
"I told you this is no place for a
home." he grumbled. "That hole hasn't
' any bottom." .
".Then wall make one," declared Jenny,
. and flew down to examine the lower end
of the' sleeve.;
Farmer Brown's Boy, watching from
the barn, saw what the trouble was. He
got a Diece of string and -went over to
the old coat. For -a couple of minutes
he was very busy there. Mr. Wren
watched his suspiciously. Jenny Wren
scolded him. - Farmer Brown's Boy
grinned. Presently he went back to the
barn.
At once Jenny flew over to see what
he had done. The lower end of the
sleeve had - been tfd tight. No more
sticks and straws could fall out. There
was a bottom now. Jenny inspected it
.carefully and she took her time about it.
When she' had finished, she - turned - to
Mr.' Wren. - -
"Now what "have you got to say?" she
demanded.
Mr. Wren hadn't a word to say. In
stead ' he flew off to look for- another
stick. Mr. Wren is wise enough to know
that there are times when it Is best to
- say nothing. And this was one Of them.
By -this time the right kind of sticks
were getting scarce, around Farmer
Brown's dooryard and Jenny and Mr.
Wren were forced to go over to the old
orchard to hunt for them. They were
- over there together when suddenly they
heard a pounding over ,, in Farmer
Brown's dooryard. They forgot all' about
, sticks and hurried back, to see what was
going on. Farmer Brown's Boy was
standing by the old coat doing something

"Now what la that fellow doing?'
' Bputtcred Mr. Wren.
to It It was he who was doing the
pounding. j "
"Now . what is that fellow doing,
sputtered Mr. Wren. "I told you he
Isn't to be trusted. You wouldn't listen

Jenny's eyes snappedr "The time to
holler Is when you are hurt," said she.
Nevertheless, there wsawgried ljok

rown' Joy. t
Presently he stopped pounding and
went back to the barn. Jenny and Mr.
Wren hurried over and anxiously looked
over that ol coat to see what he had
been doing jfoSit. It was firmly nailed
to the post, ss that it couldn't be blown
down and couldn't swing badly In the
wind. Jenny '-was quick to understand
this. ;
"Now what have you-got to say?" she
demanded of Mr. Wren. "Now what
have you got to My? Perhaps next
time you'll believe what I say!" She
Jerked her tail excitedly.
Mr. Wren looked decidedly foolish, "I'll
never-doubt you; again." he reptied,
meekly. "I'll never doubt you again,
my dear." .;..
. Then Mr. Wren" flew ovr to a tree
close to the barn and sang and : sang
so hard -that he shook all over. It was
h)a way of telling Farmer Brown's Boy
that he understood and was grateful
and that they were the best of friends.
As for Farmer. Brown's Boy, he
grinned, v "I hope they'll like me for a
landlord." said he. "I'll try to be a
good one."'' -

Warship Need Not
Fear! Air Attack
On "Board U. S. S. Henderson at Sea.
by Destroyer to Hampton Roads Naval
Base, Va June 30. I. N. S.) Officers
of the Atlantic fleet, who followed the
air attack upon i the discarded United
States battleship - Iowa were confident
today that the test has proved that the
modern battleship Is comparatively safe
from aerial bombardment. Conse
quently here is great glee on the At
lantic fleet.
About 80 bombs were aimed at the
Iowa by the four bomber machines that
carried out the attack, some of them in
salvos of 17, and the Official; report
showed two direct hits upon the Iowa's
forecastle. There was no defense from
the Iowa. The attack lasted two hours
and 27 minutes." The fleet is splitting up
today and leaving the Hampton Roads
rendesvous. lor the Fxmrta of Jaiy.
There are many officers or? board who
have new faith in the declaration of
former Secretary of the NaVy Josephus
Daniels that he ' would be willing to
stand on the bridge of a battleship and
let airplanes bomb him. -
The experiment proved the Talue of
radio control of large vessels, f or the
Iowa responded i without' fail to the
control vf lashed from the - Ohio which
was miles- astern. -'.
