Thrift, Love, Romance Interwoven in Patchwork Quilt Maxwell Heirloom Portland Wheat ' By MAUDE POOL " In a little cabin of hewn logs a blaze burned cozlly in a huge fire place. Nutshells were cracked with gusto a Father delved Into the mys teries of a hunting tale. Over by the spinning wheel In the corner Maggie was pacing quilt scraps from calico Such is the story one may read be tween the stitches of an old, old paten wcrk quilt made sometime In the Into 1700 s. This quilt Is the cherished possession of M. W. Max well of Ruch, whose . grandmother, Maggie Wallace, sewed the time hon ored rtile with deft and loving fing ers in her girlhood days In North Carolina some 7.30 years ago. Its colors still are bright despite the probable fifty laundorlngs In old fashioned soft soap. In tie substan tial homespun, togetner with the ex cellence of hand stitching common to those days mare than 40 years be fore Howe's first sewing machine came Into use, has been wrought an article which has withstood the test of tlms and long use. Nine blocks of 130 piece pattern suggojMng the sun's ray constitute the quilt, which has an Individual ity all ts own. More than mere cloth has ben pieced into this pattern. There is thrift and love and romance, and visions known to every young girl of happiness down through the years in a new home somewhere with cnlldren in It (there came to be -eleven children In that home.) Somewhere In the making of this old quilt has been caught wisps of sadness and sorrow, perhaps, as well as the joys that centered around the home hearth In simpler days. In the yellows, greens, reds, and blues rang ing from the white centers of each block lay memorials of every mem ber of the family yellow from little sister's first school dress blue from the Lhlrt of a bare foot boy, per The targe blocks are attractively set together with strips pieced of homespun In the man tie) of the old familiar "rob Peter to pay Paul" de sign. A six Inch border resembling the present day cretonne stitched around the outer edge adds charm to this quaint piece of work, w.hlch is finished with yellow hand turn ed binding. A first glance would mis take this binding for bias tape, yet Inspection reveals that It is not cut cn ths bias, and Its good condition shows a quality not found In tapes today. Sewing scraps to reach a measure ment of more than 8 feet square would astound the modern quilt maker, but Mr. . Maxwell's heirloom Is of these dimensions and Its mas sive ness suggests deep, restful slmu bers upon an enormous wool mat tress topped with those downy gray goose feathers, with a big bolster and fluffy pillows to grace the huge wooden bedstead of those colonial days. Into the Intricacies of the quilt ing went 1,400 yards of thread (7 spools) And In these delicate stitch es mnoe by a patient hand of long ago stands a challenge to those who would establish a renaissance of quilts and quilting today from those other days when the patchwork quilt was an institution in colonial America. 4 5c lb, heavy ewes, 2g3o lb.; me dium cows, 0$6o lb.; canner cows, 3 3c lb.; bulls, 41$ ft So lb.

V Women Who Own REFRIGERATORS Agree that they're the most indespensable aid to I ; CD GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Right now during hot weather no home should be without a good refrigerator. Come in and Use Goodyear in Harvesting TX 7 w m b a s -a i -eMer v'.i- PneumaWc tire efficiency provided for tractors last year has now been extended to farm machinery. For years farm machines hare jolt ed slowly over rough fields, limited in speed by the steel wheel with which they were equipped; but In troduction of a new combine har vester, which cuts and threshes grain in one operation and designed for use with Ooodyear tires, forecasts a revo lution in farm machinery design. The low pressure tires on which the combine Is mounted minimize shocks to such an extent that the old speed for harvesting machinery Is stepped up considerably and the capacity of the machine Is increased, accord in gto engineers of the Oood year Tire and Rubber Co. In addi tion to Increasing the speed of the machine, use of pneumatic tires play ed an important part in reducing Its cost to a figure appreciably lower than that of larger combines. "This is an Bge of speed," declared H. O. Merrltt, manager of the trac tor division of the Allls-Chalmers Mfg. Co., producers of the combine. "There la no reason why the farm machinery Industry should sit back and allow developments of present day engineering to pas it by. We feel that we should adopt new auto motive Ideas in farm machinery, es pecially when they not only reduoe the cost but also Increase the out put." Designed for lightness and efflcl necy, the new combine weighs but 2400 pounds a light load for a trac tor to pull on pneumatic tires and is smaller and more compact than previous large machines. Due to the speed made possible by the pneu matic tires, however. It can do as much work In a given length of time as larger combines. An Innovation is Increasing width of the threshing cylinder to equal that of the cutter bar. The stalks of grain go directly into the cylinder head first, and the width of the straw stream is always the same as the width of the swath cut by the sickle an Ideal long ought by all designers of threshing machinery In use since the flail. The smaller size of the combine, coupled with the decreased amount of power required to operate the cut ting, threshing and cleaning mechan ism, make It possible for any two plow power take-off tractor to be used In its operation. "Air-tired tractors, which have been In use for some months, and now the air-tired combine, set a goal In the new era of farm machinery de sign, the ultimate purpose of which la the lowering of crop production costs and a reduction of the farmer's Investment In equipment," Merrttt concluded. , The- combine, which will harvest soy beans as well as wheat, oata and other grains, has met with wide praise following demonstrations before farm ers, department of agriculture offic ials, university professors and farm machinery expert. FRAZlffi STATE An order In administration of the estate of Frank D. Prazler. insofar as It Is located In Jackson oounty, was filed today In circuit court. Prazler died in Chicago last June, leaving an estate worth between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000. His Jackson county pro perty Is estimated at $5000. Frazler'a father In the 90's was one of the leading grain brokers of the middle west, and with James D. Patten cor nered the wheat market. Prazles was well known to scores of residents of this city and valley during the "boom days," and was one of the lavish spenders of that era. He owned an orchard tract near the city. He left here In 1916. Prazler waa the first resident of the valley to own two automobiles. E I BY STATE OFFICERS State police and the district attor ney's office were checking up today on a "murder tale," and seeking the whereabouts of 'a man giving the name of "Porter." The murder is aupposed to have been committed In New Mexico. "Porter," according to the authorities a few days ago departed suddenly from his mining claim In the Steam boat section of the upper Applegate country. information reaching the state po lice says that "Porter" left hi claim with the words: "They want me for that killing in New Mexico." He left his tools behind, and gave his mining claimconsidered better than the average to fellow miners. "Porter" had excavated a number of placer hole's on the land, and had reached "bedrock." State police have Inspected the property In search of clues. "Porter," the authorities say, told acquaintances that he waa going to the head waters of the Chetco river. In a wild and Inaccessible section of Curry county. The state police are checking with New Mexico authorities, and expect to locate "Porter" In Curry county, for questioning relative to his own admissions. The murder report came to light during an Investigation or charges that groceries were being stolen from miners' cabins, while they were at work.
