"Oh, inuthrr," i-i-UmI John ns ho

"daddy Mill 1 aii? Kolnt; tu iho

"I Imvcn't any thing cookrd for

that I could Imvc prepared koiiio-thine--"
answered Iuh mot her.
"Give uh fonin Imcon and vgaa
to cook and some bread. 1 wish
you would go with us, 'mother.
Sistor in crying so hard to go, but
daddy told her -that who couldn't
unless you went? and that you
were too busy to po,' said Juhn.
"Well, I am busy. I haven't
done any of my imnninRH work
and thin is IruniiiK day.' arid I want
fo bake a truke. fur tomorrow Aunt
Surah is coming for lunch."
"Sister and I wHI mako the beds
and daddy will swoop, while you
hurry and dress. Let the ironing
go; I like to wear my shirts and
overalls nut ironed. Aunt Surah
haa1 cake at home every day. Wc
have so much fun in the woods.
Come on and go with us," argued
John.
: Mrs. Robinson looked at him
thoughtfully. "I believe I will."
she said. With a half reluctant
glance at the pile of unwashed
dishes, she began to pack some
bacon, eggs, a jar of butter, an
other of jam and the bread, in a
box. Then she went to her room
1o change to her outing clothes.
The beda had been made and the
floor swept, but in. a very hasty
manner.
"I can't leave my house this
she thought. "Aunt Sarah might
come today.'" '
yho started to the door to give
John the lunch and to tell him
that- she would not go. But a
glance ut Sarah's radiantly happy
face as she danced up and down
the hall, made the mother change
her mind . again. Soon she and
the happy little girl joined the
, others at the car, where John was
packing In the- fishing tackle and
bait.
A short drive brought thorn- to
the river. The honks wore inailn
ready, and In a very llitlo while j
they were all trying their luck In
the water. Am tho restful kUHuohs
of I be woods stole over Mrs. Huh-
iiM-on, Mho furgnt her household
cures and entered. Into tho spirit I
of phiy with her family.
Such an exciting moment whn
si.ster caught her first fish! Then j
mother nitight the largest one of
them nil. How goil were tho )
bucoh and eggtt cooked on a camp i
fire, with jam sandwiches fori
dessert, and how many interest
ing iilngs they saw in a walk!
down tho river! Time to go homo
came entirely too soon. j
L nun m-fji inu u.ipi-u-ni. wnj i

as they wore washing the break
fast dishes while their mother
cooked the fish for supper, "and .
mother says that wo are going
with you every lime you and
daddy go this summer."

"Preliminary tests reveal a new

three speeds. The two high gears,
thir and fourth, are so coupled
that the shift is of the utmost
simplicity and convenience: fool
proof and less noisy than in any
other type of transmission.
"A feature not to be discounted
is the short, quick throw between
the two highs. It requires little
effort, and seemingly never misses
nor causes the gears to clash, even
when the shift is made at upwards
of .r0 miles an hour.
"The engine is by Continental,

'The crankshaft Is 2 1-S inches
in diameter and Is supported on
four bearings. To insure against

During the work season the
farm horse slum Id be fed only
at regular Intervals. Concentra
ted feed is necessary to supply
tho energy for hard work, large
amounts of roughness in tho work

hay is a wasteful practice; it is
expensive, reduces the efficiency
of tho horse ami often causes res
piratory trouble, ('rains and hay
