In the Romance
Drug Store
Br FRANK H. WILLIAMS
(Coprrliht.)
, TMOGENE was twenty-two, the pret- I
tlcst girl lu the block and the eldest j
child In a family of eight
She had a beau, of course. He was
young Bill Jennings, a llkeuble fellow
several years Imogene'i senior, and
holding ' duwn a good position In a
downtown bank.
All during the hot summer Bill had
been calling regularly on Imogen, pi
loting his wheeling fllrrer through the
hot streets to her home and being (tie
life of the party at more than one
family gathering, where the younger
children fought all over the place, or
played cracked pieces on the family
phonograph, or made sly remarks
about big sister and her feller.
I'.ut what chance was there for Dill
In propose?
And then came the eveulng when
tore enveloped Imogene In a pink cloud
of pure Joy,
And how unpropitiously the evening
started! Almost the minute after BUI
.'.ml parked hi) car at the curbing In
front of the Iletrlck home youn- Jim
Iletrlck, aged sevinteen. bounced Into
the driver's sest nnd announced tliat
h ! going to borrow the car for
awhile. Imogene's heart tank as she
mw Jim tearing down the street.
1-ately Imogene's mother had been al
lowing her to take short rides with
Itlll In the ancient flivver, and Imogene
bad been rather counting on a ride
this evening. Tonight she had felt was
to be the night of nights, and yet
here was the one best chance for Bill
to speak gone to smash.
"I'm awfully sorry," snld Imogene
10 Bill. "I Just with father was here
bed not let Jim do a thing like that!" I
"Oh. never mind." said Bill, a trifle
ruefully. "Let's go In the house ami
play the phonograph. I've brought I
new record."
Imogene led the way Into the par
lor. Much to her surprise It wss emp
ty. What luck. Perhaps, now
Bill placed the record on the ma
chine and started It. The piece wss
a foi trot Be held out his arms to
Imogene and she floated Into them.
"Dear," whispered Bill, softly, "let's
But Bill got no farther than that.
Tor Into the room dashed tempestuous
Nellie, one of Imogene's younger sis
ters. "Gee. It's a new record, ain't Itr
cried Xellle, excitedly, "Did yoo bring
It. Bilir
"Yes." said Bill shortly.
Gently Imogen disengaged herself.
"Oh, Bill." she exclaimed, as a hap
py Idea came to her, "let's go to the
Family thester tonight There's a
food film there tonight"
"All right." r-'f ri'.u
But no sooner had hey seated them
selves In a J-i sci arell at the rear
than III fortune nice mors came her
way. Imtgj. ,.a.aau entered the
theater and unsuspectingly seated
themselves In the row just to the
rear.
Imogene felt Bill's discomfiture ss
an actual physical fore depressing
her heart. Shs was dismayed and
fearful Over and over again she kept
telling herself, "It'a tonight or Dot at
all."
The picture seemed Interminable to
Imogene. But at last It was over. At
last they walked out of the theater.
Surely now there would he a chance
for BUI. But Mr. Iletrlck. feeling In
a jovial mood, Invited Imogene and
Bill to have s soda at the drug store.
To all appearances the drug store
was the last plsce In the world for ro
mance. It was s busy place, crowded,
and common In appearance. But her
It was that romance came to Imogene.
They had to wait for sests at one
of the tables, and when they did seat
themselves Mr. Hetrlck ordered sodas
for all four.
"Perhaps you'd like something ele?"
suggested Imogene timidly to BUI. who
wss moodily examining the menu curd.
Bill said notliln- for a moment or
so. Then he looli.-rt up with s sud
den light In his eve.
"Here's what I'd like to ask fur,"
whispered Bill to Imogene.
He extended the menu to Imogen.
Indicating s certain point on the card
with his forefinger.
Imogene looked and then glutted.
Her heart leaped. A ahy color cam
to ber face. For Just a fleeting glnnre
shs looked at Bill with her soul In
her eyes.
"Will your whispered Bill In a
Strained vole.
Scarcely could she taste the smln
for the excitement she felt And when
they were one outside the store snd
she felt Bill take her arm tightly, i
she knew that the most wonderful
thing In th world bad hnppened lo
her.
"I say, Mr. Iletrkk snd Mrs. Ilet
rlck," said BUI suddenly, "Imogens
has Juat said she'll marry me. We'd
like to get married soon. May we?"
"Why why, yes, of course," said
M MvtHffe tyt a rather amased voice
''Vvi imw-wiieu )'im iaj' you
tlxed ll up!"
"Yes," laughed Rill Joyously. "I
inked her If she would by polntlnn
lo 1 tie nam of a tundne on the menu."
"The niime of sundiie?" repeated
Mr. Iletrlck Mnnkly.
"Yd," cried Imogen. "It was railed
'Marry Me Sundae.' And wheu lilll
pointed to It and asked ma If I would
I mild yes!"
Of course It was all commonplace
enough to outsider, liut to Imogene
It was romance, heart warming, soul
stirring romance.

FarmeiV Elevator
Extensive Changes Greatly
Increase Capacity and
Efficiency of Operation.
lone ami vicinity have beer
inserving ith interest the im
tiortant im;rovments made upon
the elevator and warehouse of
the Farmers' Elevator Company
of lone.
The first improvment was the
installation of Electric equipment
to replace the twentyfive horse
uower Diesel oil engine. The new
equipment has proved to be very
efficient and will be even more
so during the rush of the wheat
season. Often before this change
was made hours were spent in
efforts to start the Deisel engine.
This happened most frequently
during the rush season. Mow
only the fraction of a second is
required to start the motors and
mose the wheat rapiiMy u. il effi
ctently.
The second Imp'ovroent. which
was supervised by Mr. W. J.
Walker of Antelope. Oregon, is
the addition to the warehouHe,
which was liegtn May 30 and
completed June 22, a three weeks
snd three days' job. The old
platform was replaced ty a new
Hoar. The roof was raised and
extended to cover tne new floor.
This change means an increase
of 20,000 over an original capac
ity of 32 000. This improvment
is quite as important as the in
stailation of motors, since part of
the crop of past yeats have had
to be piled on the ground because
of insufficient warehouse capaci
ty. Considering these two profit
able changes, the Farmers' tie
vator Company feels itself com
petnt to handle any bumper
crop.
