Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD, DUCHESNE, UTAH By JOE Aluminum Roofs Boost Productivity of Hens MAHONEY th l(n prodigal son of northwest Missouri, Homer Croy drove along the country road amid scenes of his youth. As he sees familiar places, he associates them with the Kennedys Newt, the kindest man hed ever known; Mrs. Kennedy; their daughters, Lucy and Ida; their son, Harlan, his boyhood pal. He recalls happy times like the watermelon party at Kennedys, where they played and The Flogging of Uncle Tom The Cummings Indian Congress at grapho-phonon the old Coney Island Then there was the time they heard two Japanese speak In their church of the need for more Christian missionary work among the heathens in their native land. A e. wood? CHAPTER X Yah. Now we would have wbat Brother Miller called the tea ceremony." "With that they took some dishes and a teapot and Sister Miller pretended she was serving. Brother Miller took a cup of tea and bowed very low. She bowed low, too, while we leaned forward hardly breathing at all, although there wasnt anything in the cups. Then they pretended to drink. Once in a while Sister Miller would look at him out of the corners of her eyes, smile and shake her fan. Then he would smile and shake his fan. Finally it was all over. Sister Miller bowed very deep and went off in a trot that made our little pigeon-toe- d eyes pop. And now Brother Miller said there would be a freewill offering for the people of Japan who were so pathetically eager to worship the true God instead of a horrible stone monster with a huge stomach. We must give liberally; even a dime might save some poor souL Newt went up and down the aisle holding out the collection plate and mumbling over and over, Its Gods Scarred work. Its Gods work. hands went into pockets. Clink! Clink! Thank God for every dime. At last it was all over. Brother and Sister Miller took the money and put it in a black purse. People rushed up to invite them to Sunday dinner. I hoped Newt would get them. But Newt didnt get them and Brother and Sister Miller and the preacher went off with another family. That evening Brother and Sister Miller would be driven to town so they could go to some other place and carry on their fine work. Finally we came in sight of Newts. The windmill first, then the white house and the red barn, and the silo. Newts eyes leaped over everything; the cattle were not in the corn, no hogs were out, no horse was on the barbed wire. How good God had been to us. One day Newt was picking apples when Delinsky came hurrying through the orchard, stopped at the foot of the ladder and looked up at Newt He was so choked with emotion he could hardly speak. Some-zin- g iss matter wit Anton, he got out in his thick accent He could talk better now than when he had come to the Welcome Party, but when excited, he was hard to understand. He still looked queer with his big beard and his odd clothes. But we had stopped making fun of him; we were beginning to discover he was a real person. What is the matter? asked Newt, instantly compelled by Delinsky. Newts heart flew out to anyone in trouble. Anton iss dyln. Dying? repeated Newt, coming down the ladder as fast as he could. Where is he? "Tied out in front. That didnt make sense. "Come," said Delinsky. It sounded more like Gum. Delinsky Makes A Dad Bargain Newt took the sack off his shoul- ders and followed Delinsky who was clopping through the orchard as fast as he could go. They turned the corner of the house and there, tied to the hitch rack, was a horse. Is that Anton? gasped Newt Say, you had the daylights scared out of me!" For Newt thought Delinsky had meant one of the boys. "Yah. I get me a new horse and nim him for me." Newt blinked. Just like a naming a horse for himself. Why, that animal isnt sick; hes a animal! said Newt in disgust No one was a better judge of horses than Newt Iss dyin', repeated Delinsky firmly. Newt inspected more closely: That's an exceptionally good animal, Anton. Delinsky shook his head sadly. Roo-sha- fine-looki- Iss dyin. Suddenly it did seem very much indeed as if the horse were dying, for he seized the hitch rack, baring his teeth and began to suck air and roar, giving forth monstrous bloodcurdling gasps and terrible snorts and bellows. "Iss dyin'. Newt looked serious. Where did you get him? He knew how much the animal meant to Delinsky. Vagons Newt had to think a moment A g band of gypsies had been through a few days before and Delinsky had traded horses with them. You traded that good horse of yours that could understand Roo- horse-tradin- shan to gypsies?" Newt demanded. Yah. Newt shook his head. This looks like a good animal, Anton, but dont ever trade horses with gypsies. They're the slickest horse traders in the world. Thats the way they fortune telling, make a living chicken-stealin- g an' horse trading. Delinsky looked at the ground. This horse was so much bigger than his and seemed so much stronger, he said. Did the gypsies keep him moving when they were showing him to you? Yah. Did they keep him away from Well, 111 tell you what youve got Youve got a windcribber! Iss Delinsky looked puzzled. what? This was an animal who had the disgusting habit of seizing hitch racks, mangers, or any pieces of wood and, sucking air into its stomach. If it did this on a hot day, after feeding, the animal would bloat up and have the colic. It would be worthless as a work animal. Delinsky, now realizing his loss, asked if finally, bowing his head, he started slowly back to the ladder. In spite of himself, Delinsky watched the dramatic scene unfold before his eyes. Saw Newt go to the shed and back out the cart, then bring Clayton and put him between the shafts. Then put the musket in. Then saw Newt get in, put the musket between his knees, shake the lines and start down the road with the windcribber jogging along behind. Delinsky picked without spirit, filling the sack, taking it down into the cellar, pouring the apples into the bin, then going slowly back and climbing the ladder again. The day wore on. Mrs. Kennedy came out and politely asked him to have dinner with them. He hesitated, wanting to, but feeling he would be ill at ease among such fashionable people. Finally he went in and sat almost silently as the others ate. During the afternoon, from his perch, he saw something his eyes could hardly believe. But there it was! Newt was coming down the road with the windcribber jogging behind. Thank God! a windcribber was better than no horse at alL Delinsky got down the ladder and hurried to the drive lot, then stared exceedingly hard, for this was not the windcribber at all, but his own horsel Delinsky threw his arms around his neck as if the horse were a long-lochild. How? how? how? he kept repeating, almost blubbering, so foolish was he. His own, his wonderful horse! Newt enjoyed Delinskys delight and utter amazement He had followed the gypsies. Newt said, and at last had caught up with them. They were in camp, strange pictures painted on their wagons the fortunst e-telling, chicken-stealin- smokehous- g, The surly, gypsies. evil men, with rings in their ears, had gathered around him; they would not trade back, they said menacingly. They would, Newt said. And they did. And now, after the first joy of having his precious horse back, Delinsky turned to Newt, seeming to comprehend for the first time that Newt with his musket might have done something exceedingly serious. But Newt only smiled. It wasnt loaded. At last the rejoicing was over the big moment had passed and Delinsky, the halter rope in his hand, started down the road toward Mrs. Kennedy came out and po- home leading his horse.

Phone J U-- J o ! State City i The .300 hitter, In spite of the lively ball and a slump in pitching, has regained his old place. A .300 hitter today is on the scarcer side. How many would you figure there are now at work in the two leagues? In the two big leagues there are at least 75 players on each side, not counting pitchers, who have been at bat more than 300 times. From this list we discovered exactly 11 ball players in each circuit who had reached the .300 mark, or better, with five or six others who had a good chance to make the grade. It might also be noted that five or six are so near the .300 mark they may fall out before the season ends. Jackie Robinson is almost certain to lead the National He has been between .360 and .370 the greater part of the year. Country Slaughter and Red Schoendienst of the Cardinals are the next two authentic .300 hitters in the older circuit where they have been nesting between .320 and .330. Marshall Thompson, Lockman, Musial Hodges, Kiner and Gordon are over .300, but they cant afford to do any slipping through September. Musial has been putting on a desperate scramble to reach a much higher mark, but Stan has found the traveling much rougher than it was last year. He has been over 40 points away from his 1948 mark. Why? Who can say? Two months later. In June, Hogan again needed a 4 to tie in the playoff in the U.S. open at Canterbury, Cleveland. Again he hit a magnificent drive. His iron to the green just slipped by the pin again and stopped 15 feet beyond. Again Ben went for his birdie 3 and again he slipped 24 inches past. And again he missed the short one two short putts under three feet that cost him two major championships in less than two months. You can understand why great golfers dread short putts any putt of any length. Sammy Snead has blown more short putts that cost him heavily than any star I know. Only Sam doesnt wait for the last green. It might happen anywhere along the line. With one of the greatest games golf has ever known, Snead can look back on many a green with a sad shake of his J WANTED IMMEDIATELY Men and Women 17 to 50 49 I i The .300 List masters.

The short one he missed at St. Louis in the Open on the final green the short one he missed again for the Open in Chicago three putts from 10 or 12 feet at Tam OShanter in the big Mays money tournament. In the St Pete Open, I saw Snead almost hit the pin with his second on a hole. He had a for a 3. He putted two feet over. He missed that one. We have often wondered how a star golfer felt who had hit two great shots requiring power and skill, control and timing, only to push or stab a two-foputt and undo all the fine play he had used making shots far more difficult. But putting isnt so much a matter of skill at least not always. It Is also a matter of nerve control. Strength has nothing to do with it. A veteran of 70 has skill enough to be a fine putter as good as many of the better pros. Ive seen a few of those old codgers from 60 and up at work. Some of them cant understand how any one can miss a five-foputt. DRIVE for pleasure, Johnny Farrell once said, But we putt for money.

I recall a masters tournament just a few years back. Ben Hogan was playing the final hole. He needed a 4 to tie the leading score. Ben hit a great drive some 260 yards up the course. Taking out a 5 iron he almost hit the pin, the ball trickling some 12 to 15 feet past the cup. This left him a tricky, downhill putt but easy enough for his 4. He tapped the ball lightly. He seemed to be heading for a 3. But the ball ran over the rim of the cup and stopped some 24 inches below. This looked to be simple nough. But as the return putt tame to the cup it veered off a half an inch and Hogan had a 5. He has yet to win the V n fj prOFIX - IT J MWGets I WiO lario-JefPlan- e!
