On trains, and News Stands 5 rentav On Harvesting, Old Style IT is different now, harvesting is. Two or three men with tractor and combine do the whole job in much less time than big crews did working with the binder er header. The several operations of cutting, binding, shocking, loading, hauling, stacking, threshing are all telescoped into one. Time and labor are saved, but much of the glamor of the har vest is gone. If you grew up on a farm you surely have pleasant memories of threshing days when the men of the neighbor hood shared work and the threshing outfit came to each place in turn. As a lad you watched with eager anticipation for the coming of the vast machines. You ran down the lane to-the gate at the road the deadline of your liberties and gazed impatiently at the brow of the little hill over which you knew the lumbering traction engine would come, as it moved over from Uncle Henry's up the road. You drew lines in the dust with your big toe while you waited, or made your initials on a big scale. Do you not recall the feel of powdery dust. working up between the toes? v Finally the rig came, the clumsy engine spouting black smoke, chugging along so slowly you could keep up with it easily by running alongside, its great bull wheels leaving their patterns in the compressed dust, jerking along behind it the big red separator, whose gaunt straw spout swung back overhead. Behind that, horse pulled, the inevitable water tank, like a stave cylinder cut in half, with a short length of thick hose curled awkwardly on top. You watched the rig turn in to your place with a feeling of pride and joy, saw your father open the little-used gate into the lot below the barn where ragweed and dogfennel and mustard had grown thick. What a busy place when the threshing started. Every man to his task, big menj strong men, loud-voiced men, handy with horses. Your job may have been waterboy how you envied the man who could stick his thumb through the jug handle, lay the jug back over his forearm and drink long drafts from the sweaty container. Then when the fife-like whistle of the steam engine, parked some distance off, at the end of a floppy belt with one twist in it, signalled the end of the day, came the break for the farmhouse. The spreading maples with the wash bench underneath, the basin filled with cool water from the welL tar soap, always tar soap with its foamy suas; younger men cnainng, omer men a ou weaneu, au eager for the meal. Long, days for the women. Up early to get breakfast for the engine .crew who seldom went home. A full morning of cooking over a hot stove for hungry farmhands; and the same in the afternoon. Quantities of vegetables to prepare; chicken to fry (critical the remarks of the men if no chick en were served but only sow belly or salty ham) ; tables to ret; dishes to serve and then to wash. Work for the women far into the evening when the men were outside under the stars smoking their pipes. Work always crowded in threshing time. Yet how agree able it was when a thunderstorm came up in the night and you knew there would be no work for the morning. Per chance a breakdown and a trip to town for repairs. Or in the August days the winds might fail and there would be hours of pumping water for the horses and cows. Finally the" job would end. There would be the great stack of bright golden yellow straw in the barnlot, and barn bins full of sweet new grain. The engineer, all greasy and grimy, would fire up and start moving his outfit down the road toward Widow Anderson's place to get set for the morrow's. work. Yes, harvesting is different mechanically speaking; it Is different in the impressions it makes which become to morrow's memories. The load is lighter to be sure, but one cannot help missing those operations of the past which be came hallowed in his memory. HEALTH Todas Tallc . By R.S. Copeland, IL D.

"Help There are all too many acci dents these days. The great Ufa Insurance companies, the health tha Healthy." It shows tha start ling increase in accidents among oar boys and girls under the age of 15 years. Twenty thousand children un der 15 years old were killed last year. Nearly 30 per cent of these deaths were caused by automo biles. Drowning, burns, the care leas use of firearms, falls and other causes were grouped in the order named. Eighty thousand persons, 15 years old and over also were kill ed last year. Accidents are sixth on the list of causes of death for persons of all ages. Accidents are first on the list tor children from five to fifteen years of age. Most of these future citizens of the country are healthy,. fun-loT-ing, daring boys and girls, ready to take any chance. They must be taught reasonable caution In earliest childhood. They must learn the rules of self-preservation - so that they ean protect themselves from dangers greater than disease. Then there is another class of accidents even more common. Those axe the non-fatal injuries received in the home. The Metro politan Life Insurance company recently announced that 22 visit ing nurses associations had re ported that out of 6,585 non-fatal accidental Injuries treated by them last year 48 per cent occur red while the victima were occu pied in domestic pursuits, 45 per cent in public places and only 9 per cent at work. More persons were injured noa fatally by home falls than by au tomobile accidents. The record gives the ratio as 1.424 to 1.341, More and more playgrounds are needed In the big cities and towns to keep the children off the streets, where the majority of fatal accidents occur. We need all the parks and all the play grounds possible for the health of growing children. - People at home should think more of the dangers of rickety stepladders, chairs and rugs to easily tripped over. We are al ways hurrying these days. In doors and out. Teach the children to be careful and to observe Safety First." Be on the lookout for dangers yourself. Think before yon step out. Observe the traffic regula tion in your town. Don't be a jay walker." New York City has naurorated new traffic regula tions for pedestrians because 'people must be saved in spite of themselves." . . It is about time that people stopped to think and set for safe ty's sake. A WORKABLE COMBIItATON I -o BITS for BREAKFAST By R. I.

Barbara glanced over at him. with the upturned elfish smile whieh made her look like a mischievous little girL "That's the mildest expletive you're used for the last hour." After a diligent search in which Peter had mobilized Jake Carter, who had removed hit feet from the verandah railing with a sor rowful but good natur d grunt in response to the reporter's urgen cy, he had succeeded in unearth ing a battered portable typewriter. It had an old fashioned, non standard keyboard which sent Pe ter's fingers slipping into space at the edges. Several of the keys lacked caps, thrusting uo aharp anguarded spikes. The type caught la tae soles ef the ragged, faded ribbon, and when Peter essayed his usual rattling tatoo, the result was a hopeless jam. Peter had addressed this de crepit instrument with bursts of lurid and withering profanity, which should have brought a blush to Barbara's cheeks. Bat Barbara was not the bluahinr kind. He pushed the machine trena him and surveyed It with a baleful glare. gathering up the sheets of cheap tablet paper which r'-ewed the floor around him and correcting them with hit stub et black copy pencil. ' If ever rn sack a foot again as to go anywhere without copy paper, ao help me!" he exclaimed with violent disregard ef syntax. "I thought this waa supposed to be roar vacation." Barbara said slyly. "But why do you wish you were twins?" "Because I've got to drive over tea miles of mountain road to file this atuff, and I haven't got the time. I've three or tour separate and distinet hunches to follow, before they wet eold en me. Mr God. I wish that camera man was heret- "Well. he won't be ntH the afternoon train," Barbara said A.

"Meantime you're not twins, but at least you're mar ried. I'm your better half, aren't IT" Peter stared at the small, slim figure beside him. In her tweed knickers and flannel shirt.' Bar bara looked like a half grown boy. "Don't be silly," he said stern ly. "Yon know how temperamen tal Bossy is, and she hasn't any brakes to speak of. That road waa laid out by an engineer with an obsession for pretzels. It's about as wide as a piece of macaroni, and as rntty as a waffle iron." "How culinary you are!" Again Barbara favored him with her sidewise tiplifted smile, but her brown eyes were grave. "It's a big story, Peter, and you've got to get busy on it." she said softly. "I'm not a clinging vine, yon know I'm a newspaperman's Wife." It was the hint of Pride la the last words that decided Peter. He laid his two hands on her shoald ers and looked deeply Into her steady eyes. "Barbara, there's real danger in driving Bossy over that road, for anybody but me. She's a wreck of a car and you kno it. I can manage her because I know every quirk of her crazy engine. I'm aendiag you Into danger, Bar bara." Yes," Barbara nodded, look ing more than ever like a wide eyed child. "It there wasn't a Ut ile danger la. your job sometimes, you wouldn't like it so 'well, would you?" "Bat for you " Tm not so different, old dear. And we're got to get our story, haven't we?" The, pronoun brought a tender smile to Peter's lips. "All right, go ahead." he said briskly. "Remember, send it day press rate, collect. Make as good time as you can, but be careful. If anything happened to you " "I know. We haven't got time fep another corpse on this story," Barbara said gaily, as she took the gathered sheets of paper from his hand and thrust them into the LAY SERMON patch pocket of her coat Peter stood on the verandah steps until the last puff of dust from the retreating Bossy had settled to the road. Than he turn ed and with long swinging strides made his way bach to the jail, from which he had so recently been released. He forcibly pushed the image of Barbara to the back of hla mind Barbara, , with her wind-blown yellow hair,' so small that she had to stretch forward to put her foot on the acelerator, steering the temperamental Bossy around the steep and tortuous carves. The clutch had a way of slip ping If you didnt manage it just right Would it stick for Barbara? Could she gauge to the last inch of safety the margin of road on the outer edge? Would she re member In time that the brakes were not to bt trotted, and shift (Continued on page 14) "The end of the trail; ... Lewis and Clark first saw the Pacific ocean on Thursday, Not. 7, 1805. w s The morning waa rainy and the fog so thick they could not see across the river. They early came to an Indian village of four houses only; they called them selves Wahkiacnms and they gave the explorers same fish, and they afterwards purchased fish, wapato roots, three dogs and two otter skins, tor fish hooks chiefly. They found the Wahkiacuma a differ; ent nation from those above; spoke a different language, built their houses in a different style, entirely above ground, and the women dressed differently, with a sort of petticoat of cedar bark bruised and broken into email strands. The journal reads: a "After remaining with them about an hour, we proceeded down the channel ... At a distance of 20 miles from our (morning) camp we halted at a village of Wahkiaeums consisting of seven ill looking houses, built in the same form with those, above and situated at the foot of the high hills en the. right, behind two small marshy islands. We merely stopped to purchase some food and two beaver skint, and then proceeded. Opposite to these islands the hills on the left retire,' and the river widens into a kind of bay crowded with low islands, subject to be overflowed occasion ally by the tide.' "a "We had not gone far from this village when the fog cleared off, and we enjoyed the delightful prospect of the ocean; THAT OCEAN, THE OBJECT OF ALL OUR LABORS, THE REWARD OF ALL OUR ANXIETIES. This cheering view exhilerated the spirits of all the party, who were still more delighted on hearings the distant roar of the breakers We went on with great cheerfdl nees under the high mountainous country which continued along ! the right bank." W They made 34 miles that day; 14 of them from the place where they first saw the ocean. Two In dians from the last village ac companied them to their camp, but having detected them in steal ing a knife, they were sent off S "The next day (the 8 th) It rained." (There was some rain every day thereafter for two full months). The party made slow progress from that point on. They dined at a point about three miles down, near the remains of an old village, from which, however, they kept at a cautious distance, "as it was occupied by a great number of fleas." They made only about eight miles that day, and passed a disagreeable -night, the waves rolling so high that several of the men became eeaelek. the water being too salt to drink, and it being difficult to find room enough to camp out of reach of the waves, on the right bank.

" The 11th was a terrible day: they could not mcrvet nothing bat dried fish to satisfy their hanger; wet and eold.

Their position became dangerous; so they "took advantage of a low tide, and moved about half a mile round? a: point to a small brook, which we had not ob- observed ill now on account of the thick bushes aad driftwood which concealed its mouth. Here we were more safe; but still cold and wet our clothes and bedding rotten as well as wet." But they got some fresh salmon and three salmon trout in the brook: great luxury. The 13th they found no way to more from their uncomfortable position; only drjed fish to eat ins iia uapi. Lewis went in one of the ' large canoes to ex amine more minutely the lower part of the bay.
