Many things have made the

Turning from the window, she

room. If making a hnma haM a hu.

best. And shed cost btm nothing.
An estate which netted her fifteen

was the one morning ot all morn

She pulled herself together. Why

dirt farmer, w plan of attack which
has routed his depression.
His musings centered about the old
barn dance, one of the few and sim
ple pleasures of the prairie folk. He
recalled they rode miles to shuffle
rough boots over rougher boards in
the rhythm of scraping fiddles.
'Thls," said the farmer, "seems to
be the age of revivals old values,
old songs, old customs, old overcoats
why not the bsrn dance?"
Accordingly, Mr. Tempero made a
slight rearrangement of his livestock.
Dobbin and Blossom were moved
from the barn as a step toward mov
ing the wolf from the door.
A dance floor was built. Canvas
was hung from the walls. Oas stoves
were Installed.
So that no scarcity of funds might
wreck his project, Mr. Tempero
placed two bins In his barnyard. Into
these the rural youth was privileged
to heave a sack of wheat, or two
sacks of corn, and proceed to the
dance floor with his lady.
