Good Printing is the Product of the Herald Print Shop On Day Mr, Crlmihaw Came Out In the Field to See My Uncle, walked uwuy to the ahude of a tree while the hired mnii nnd I went ou with the hoeing. I could hear the hariih voice of the money-lender peaking In loud and angry tone and presently he went awny. "Wliat'a the rlpT' I asked a my uncle returned looking very sober. "We won't talk aliout it now," be answered. In the candle-light of the evening I'ncle I'enbody anld: "(irlni'-hnw hua demanded hi mort gage money an' he want It In gold coin.

"What did he yr I asked. , "Why, he Buy we nadu't no bual ousa to Lire a lunn to help us. lie say you an' me ought to do all the work here. He thinks I ought to took you out o' achool long ago." "I cun sluy out o' school und keep on with my lessons," 1 wild. "Not an' please him. He wa mad when he see ye with a book In J'tT bund out llicre in the corn-field." What were we to do now? I apent (he first Bad night of my life undoing the plmis which hnd been so deur to me but not bo deur a my aunt and uncle. I decided to give alL-my life und strength to the saving of the fnrm. I would still try to be greut, but not us greut as the Seuntor. due day In December of Unit year, t hnd my Ami trial In the full respon sibility of Hum's work. I was allowcl to load and hurtles and hitch up and go In Hie mill without assistance. My uncle und Purvis, our hired mini, were busy with Uie chopping ami we were out of flour and meal. It took a lot of them lo keep the axes going, So I filled two sucks with corn and two with wlicut and put them Into the box wagon, fur the grouud was bnro, und hitched up my horses and set out. I reached the mill safely and be fore the grain wus ground the earth and the sky above were white with snow driving down in a cold, stiff wind out of the northwest. I loaded my grists and covered them with a blanket and hurried away. The snow came so fast that It almost blinded nie. There were times when I could scarcely see the road or the horses. The wind came colder nnd soon It wns hard work to hold the reins and keep my hands from freezing. Suddenly the wheels began jumping over rocks. The horses were In the ditch. I knew what wns the matter, for my eyes hnd been filling with snow nnd 1 hnd had to brush them often. Of course the team had suffered In a like manner. Before I could stop I heard the crack of a felly and a front wheel dropped to Its hub. I checked the horses and jumped out and went to their heads and cleared their eyes. The snow wns up to my knees then. How the thought of that broken wheel smote mel It was our only heavy wagon, and we having to pay the mortgage! Whut would my uucle say? The query brought tears to my eyes, . " I unhitched and led my horses up Into the cover of the pines. How grate ful It seemed, for the wind wus Bluol; below but howling In the treetopsl I knew that I wns four miles from home nnd knew not how I was to get there. Chilled to the bone, I gathered some pitch pine and soon hnd a fire going with my flint and tinder. I'knew thnt I could mount one of the horses and lend the other and reach home prob ably. But there was the grist. We needed that; I knew that we should have to go hungry without the grist. It would get wet from above nnd be low If I tried to carry It on the buck of a horse. I warmed myself by the fire and hitched my team near It so ns to thaw the frost out of their forelocks and eyebrows. I felt In my coat pock ets and found a handful of nails everybody carried nails In one pocket In those days and I remember thnt 1 m.v uncle's pockets were a museum of The Idea ornirred to ui" thnt I would mike a kind of ll which wa called a Jnmer. H I got my ax out of the wagon and aiHiH found a couple of atiiall tree With I he right crook for the forwnrd end of runner, and rut litem and hewed their bottom aa amoothly a I could. Then I made notches In Ihein near the top of ihclr crwika and (Hied a "tout atlek Into the notches and e rurcil wild nan, drlveo by the HI head, TIiiik I gol a bold for my evem-r. Thnt done, I rhoipetl and hewed an arch to croaa the middle of the run ners und hold i hem apart and used all my null lo secure und brace It. I got the two board which were fiia-tcni-d together and consllliiliil my kkiiu nil! and laid Iheni over the arch and front brace. How to muke tin-ill fust wus my wont problem. J aucci.eded in splitting a green lk to hold the bolt of the evener lust un der Ha hind w hile I healed lt lower end In the Are and kept Its head cool with anow, Wllh (hit I burnt a bole In the end of euch board and fastened them to the front brace with withe of IIIOOM- IHIll. It wa late In the day and there wa no time for the alow process of burn ing more bole, no I uuiclicd the other end of the boards and lushed them to the reur brace with a length of my reins. Then I releiiipered my holt und brought up the gilst and ihiilu and fastened the hitter between the bonnla In the middle of the front brace, hilcltcd my team to the chain and set out ngnlu, sitting on the bugs. It wus pilch dark and the horses wading lo their belllea uud Ihe snow coming f lister hu we turned Into Ittiitli'roiid. Soon I heard a louU h:.l- loo und knew that It was the voice of Cucle l'eubody. He bad sturtej out to meet me lu the storm uud hilt ivu with liliu. "Tliunk Cod I've found ye!" he shotted. "I'm blind and tired out and I coildn't keep a lantern gojn' lo save me. Are ye froze?" I'm j'l right, but these horses are awful Hred. Had to let 'etn rent every few minutes. 1 told him about the wagon and how It relieved me lo hear him suy : As long as you re all rltjht, boy, I ain't goln' to worry 'bout the ol1 wug oii not a- bit. Where'd ye git yer Juiuperr "Mmle It with the ax and some uulls," 1 answered. After we got to the burn door at last he went io the house nnd lighted his lantern and tame back wllh It wruppeu lu a bluuket and Aunt DeeJ cunie with Win. How proud It wade me to hear him siiv: . "peel, out boy la a man now made this Junior all lone by himself an ha got through all right." Hhe rum and held the lantern op to my fine and looked at my finnds, : "Well, my star, linrt!" she ex claimed l'i a moment. "1 thought ye would fr"ine up solid aye poor boy I" We curried Ihe grist In and Aunt Peel made some pudding. How good It waa lo feel the wanulh of Ihe lire and of the lieurta of those who loved mel How I enjoyed Ihe pudding and milk i nd bread and butter I "I guess you've gone through the second peril thnt ol' Kate spoke off anld Aunt I'cc! aa I went up-ilulrs. t'licle l'eubody went out to look at the horses. When I awoke In the morning T ob served Hint t'nele reabody' bed had not been slept In. I hurried down and heard that our off horse had died In the night of colic. Aunt Peel wa cry ing. A be saw me Uncle Peahody began to dance t jig in the middle of the Door. "Balance yer partners!" he shouted. "You an' I ain't goln' to be discouraged If all the house die be we, Burtr "Never," I answered. "That's the talk I If nec'sary we'll hitch I'urvla up with t'other boss an' git our haulln done." He uud I'urvls roared with laughter and the strength of the current swept me along with them. "We're the luckiest folks in the world, anyway," I'ncle l'eubody went on.

Compare fixtures when you buy a silo. It is the fix turet that make a silo. Durability, security and liability ate determined by the anchorage, the size, quality and number of cables, hoops, lugs and staples. Convenience and ease of getting at your silage for use are determined by the door and ladder construction. Many tilot are priced without hinged doors 01 ladJcr. In other .words, you pay at "extras" for neceiiary con veniences without which your silo is incomplete. Notwithstanding our lower price, we include more and better futures than many who ask more for their silos. 1 In some cases we supply more of a given item than otheis, as in anchorage cable. In others, our fixture are stronger or better in whatever vital point deter mines their value Keep this ad and check our futures as described above,1 with those offcied by other silos. Don't pay more and get less, or buyjialf a silo when you can get a complete one. Willamette Valley Lumber Co. n ODD U
