He was glad when Mrs. Frisby
stopped to talk. She was gossipy
and friendly and liked a chat.
“ Glad to see you taking a rest at
last, Dad. Goodness knows, it was
time. I see you’ ve been looking at
the sketch for the new Memorial.
Isn’t it wonderful that a great artist
like Mr. Bonelli’s been engaged for
the job. They say he’s been asking
for medals to copy on the figures
of the war veterans and I ’m hurry
ing right down with this one of
WiUie’s.
Dad stared at the sketch of the
Memorial, thinking of what Mrs.
Frisby had said. Something of
value. Dad went over all his meager
possessions and they weren’t much.
Just his clothes, neat and clean, the
watch Mr. Tw ilinger had given him
and that old coin.
Dad was confused by the noise
and bustle when he entered Mr.
Bonelli’s studio, but M r. Bonelli
smiled at Dad and took him Into a
little office in the rear.
“ I t ’s about a coin,” said he hum
bly, and took out his lucky piece.
“ Where did you get it, and why
do you want to sell it, Dad.”
It was easy to talk to Mr. Bonelli,
and Dad explained about his home
and Elsie.
HE ARTIST sighed — " I t might
have been valuable once, but
it ’s too defaced now for restoration
—I ’m sorry,” he looked as if he
really was.” I wish I could tell you
that it ’s worth something but I ’m
afraid it ’s not.’
T
Dad thanked him, but as he got
up to go, Mr. Bonelli spoke.
" I have a friend coming tomor
row and if you drop in you can talk
it over with him .’
A ll afternoon Dad polished the
coin and when he went down to the
studio in the morning the metal in
the coin shone.
M r. Bonelli was talking to an
other man, when he saw Dad he
beckoned him in. Dad took out the
coin and the stranger glanced at it,
but he was really looking at Dad.
Dad in his neat worn clothes, was
worth looking at. He had lived a
good life and all this good living

clean blue eyes. Mr. Bonelli's own
eyes twinkled.
“We find you have something
of value. Dad, after all,” be
said softly.
"The coin was worthless,” he
continued. "We want to use you as
a model for one of the figures on
our Memorial. We want to employ
you in the studio to keep track of
valuables loaned to us. Mr. Tw ilin
ger says we couldn’t get a better
man. The pay is good, well over
five hundred dollars for the year's
work,” he said gently. "You see,
Dad, the thing you have of value is
yourself. You’ve been a good citizen
and it shines—right in your face."

Farmers with corn in the crib
■ are beginning to have a few ques-
I tions in their minds. Some of the
I corn may be quite high in moisture
' content and warmer weather w ill
| add to the problems of handling the
| corn.
W. H. Sheldon, agricultural en
gineer at Michigan state college,
says that wet corn w ill keep indef
initely while frozen. The problem is
what to do with the wet corn that is
still in the crib
when warmer
weather returns.
One solution is to feed it out
before the weather warms up. How
ever, in many cases large quanti
ties may be on hand and cannot be
used rapidly.
E x p e r i m e n t s in Michigan,
O h io ,
Indiana,
llin tis
and
Iowa, have shown that heated air
can be used to dry wet corn. Blow
ing unheated air through the crib
with a hay drier fan w ill not take
out very much water, but it w ill
keep the com as cool as the air and
greatly retard mold growth.
