We dont need or wanl another one here. Doctor Willis came just the samel and set up his practice on Elm Street. He was single so he fixed himself bachelor's quarters in the upstairs over his house. Old Mrs. South who used to do for Doc Boggs, went over to the young docs now, which made old doc madder than ever. TT SEEMED strange the way young doc took on when Doc Boggs finally passed on. Not many even shed a tear at the funeral But young doctor Willis sat there crying openly. It made everybody think even more of him than they did before, for they knew that the old man had absolutely, refused to cooperate with the younger one and that he lost no opportunity to run him down to his patients. What a wonderful husband Doctor Willis would make, was the thought in the minds of more than one mother of a marriageable aged daughter. The girls themselves busied about inviting him to parties and dances There was open rivalry for his at tention. For a while he dated this one and that, playing no favorites. One summer after hed been away on his vacation he came back with a wife, a girl from his old home town In Ohio. Jean, that was her name, had such a nice way with her that shd soon made friends. When people kept saying over and over that her husband was the sweetest, most tender hearted man in the whole world, she sometimes looked a bit surprised. Sure, she thought he was great. That was one reason she married him, but nevertheless she felt a bit puzzled at times. And then she found out something that nobody else knew. She kept still and just smiled when they be gan to rave about her husband. She smiled and went about her business of picking up after him, keeping him well fed and mended and not really minding the times when he was thoughtless and inconsiderate as all husbands are at times. The way she found out was that one night he came home to dinner quite late and dog tired, too. When she looked at him she saw that his eyes were red. Dont tell me youve been cry ing? she said. Crying? Me he laughed. What ever gave you that idea? Your eyes. They look like It. Its those flowers . . . roses Why is it people always send roses to the sick?

Avoid ditch banks and soft ground. This farmer didnt and his tractor could have tipped! Another safe practice when operating your tractor: Always hitch to the draw bar. they cause each year, nor alone for the broken bodies and broken families or the suffering and sorrow they bring about. Accidents to farmers and their families are a major obstacle in our countrys food production program which is so vital in view of the present national emergency. As if this were not reason enough for farm people to adopt safe practices to hold down accidents, the bu reau of agricultural economics reports 1,200,000 fewer farm workers today than 10 years ago during which time farm mechanization has more than doubled. It is likely that unskilled workers and women will be added to the farm labor force during the present national crisis They will have to operate more trac tors, farm trucks and other ma chines than ever before. All this adds up to a double-barrele- d reason why it is especially important for farm people to adopt safe practices in everything they do.

It was developed by B. F. Goodrich engineers. High Quality Hay Can Reduce Feeding Costs High quality hay can cut feeding costs about $24 per cow and milk producing costs by 26 cents per hundredweight, says Michigan state college farm economists. Cows fed poor hay required 250 pounds more garin and 450 pounds more concentrates to yield the same amount of milk produced from high quality hay. Good quality hay is legumes, high in protein-carryin- g cut at the right stage.
