says, decided to "squat" there in-

Conway said It was nil right with
him, and since then various owners of
the property have given tacit consent
to his remaining. As his lawn Is

foundations of houses, the old "squat-

was much difference between a saus-
age and a bologna it was decided
that, both of them wearing lights,

I'm happy and never was sick a day.

As he talked "Uncle Jim" sat In

smiling broadly, a perfect outpietur-

Rivalry in Crying.
It was Edward's first year at school
and the teacher, finding one day that
he had not mastered his lesson prop-
erly, told him to remain after school
and she would help him. When the
time for dismissal came and Edward
saw the other children leaving he
thought he was being punished by be-
ing kept in and he began to cry. The
teacher in an effort to quiet him said.
"Edward, I never heard such loud
crying," Edward stopped and looked
at her through his tears and said:
"Well, you ought to hear my brother
Donald, he's got me skinned a mile."
Bologna and Sausage Alike.

slipping links from Time's endless
chain. Ten, 20—30—memory's magic
j wand touched the 40th link anil it re-
| mained a fixed, glowing oval before
his age-blurred vision. As on a mint-
j ature screen, he watched the budding
! of Ills life's one romance; to him the
rarest flower in love's garden—de-
stined, alas, to bloom for another!
| As clearly as though It were but yes-
i terday, he "sighted" a familiar sky
1 line, as the Liddy Bell "rounded the
Cape"—homeward bound from her
| most "paying" voyage. In his ears
rang the mate's manly voice: "It's a
new home for me this trip, Lem—th'
little white cottage next ter Liddy's
I folks."
Lemuel Dyer's capable hands tight-
I ened their grip on the Liddy Bell's
j wheel—that was all. His glance nev-
er was steadier—his voice never rang
truer; "I wish ye both all the happi-
ness ye kin sail under."
"Ahoy, Cap'n Lem 1"
Liddy Bell Marsden's granddaugh-
ter bowed low before him. The jade
button was aflixed to a white ribbon
bound most fetchlngly around her
brown curls.

HAPPY HENS WORK WONDERS
•To produce 200 eggs a hen yields about live
times her own weight in highly nutricious food.
200 five pound hens equal in weight a 1,000-
pound cow, and would produce 5,000 lbs. of con-
centrated food at the rate of 200 eggs per hen.
The hustling, rosy combed hen at her best, is a
wonderful producer. She responds nobly to in-
telligent care and proper housing. Like any
hard working animal she is entitled to a good
night's rest and can produce profitably only
when provided a clean, dry house.
Our hen houses make hens happy and then-
owners prosperous.
