April Weather
By MARIAN HA YES
Margaret Ferry Wal4 very happy
The remnant of blue linen Bent to
her by her sister WILS 111:it Suffi-
cient for Juniors rompera In the
Faroe parcel also there had been
an old brown silk dress of Jeunitt's
which dyed a deeper Shade would
make her a lovely blouse She was
very clever with the needle and
hand-downa of any sort became
charming clothing once she set to
work upon them
It was raining and that made a
fine day for Hewing She meant to
get Junior's rompers finialied and
on him by the time his fattier came
home at 6 o'clock She glanced at
hint lovingly 38 he sat playing with
Ida blocks With his sunny hair
like Wills and his bright color
like her owfl he would be exquisite
In the blue linen She could Hee
Will catching him up kissing him
and going wild over his chubby
lovelinese
Margaret sang as she sewed She
was so very happy To be young
loved and loving with a baby like
Junior a 4-room bungalow and a
whole $100 a month to live on--
what more could one want? She
envied nobody not even airs Ken-
dall who lived next door although
alra laeniallat possessions were
such that most people thought she
lacked nothing in the whole world
Someone pushed the bell and
Margaret went to Open the door It
VMS Mrs Kendall herself Mrs
Kendall sat down and loosened her
coat She ignored Junior's uplifted
flower face
"Such nasty weather!" she mur-
Inured "I hate staying indoors
But then I bate equally motoring
in the rain"
"I'm rather partial to rain my-
Belt It gives one such a kiellSO of
snugness" Margaret said "Don't
put that in your mouth Junior"
"What a high color!" remarked
sirs Kendall apparently aueing the
444114 lataataie first time "Worms?"
"Oh no!" alargaret flushed "It
Eli naturaitIle is perfectly healthy"
"One eat never tell with children
gad deatai suppose" Airs Kendall
lifted her arrow7 black eyebrows
taly dear little Mind nearly died
With indigestion last night We
Called the veterinarian It NV all all
that stepid Ada's fault' I've told
her repeatedly not to give Mimi
cream and salmon at the same time
There was silence while Alargaret
wondered If atria Kendall had
meaningly compared Junior with
Mimi Children and dogs! She tried
to change the subject but nothing
seemed to pleaaa Mrs Kendall She
was horribly caustic and indif for-
att Margaret thought she would
never go away
When she did at last Margaret's
Indignation gave way to team It
wite time to prepare dinner The
blue rompers must remain unfin-
ished and her little drama of home-
coming ond surprise was spoiled
"I bate that woman!" she ex-
claime(t "I hope she will never
COMO ICU) my house again (Ink
dren and dogs indeed! To com-
pare my darling with that horrid
pinch of flat' she calls Mimi! She
ought to be ashamed"
' "What's the trouble" The back
taaor had opened so softly that alar-
garet had not heard anybody enter
She breahed away the tears and
I aced her other next door neighbor
Mrs Emmons Mat Emmons was
stout gray and jolly Sloe ricktd
tip Junior kissed him and cuddled
him Junior loved airs Emmona
'Are these for the young man?'
Mrs Emmons reached into the
work basket after the rompers
"Aren't they cute? Going to get
them done so he can wear them
when Ma daddy comes home?"
"No!" Alargarot burst cut "I
coult hate fielshed them but Mrs
Kendall came in and--" she Mt
her his "There! Ent curry I said
that" she ended
'Never mind Anything you toll
me Is aafe" airs Enonoaa sail "I
think I UnderStanti LOIthie Ken-
dall was In a bad mond and she
made you uncomfortable She did
It on purpose too My dear Lou-
Lc bas every poastaaton that is
supposed to make a woman enviable---"
"I don't envy her I don't really"
Margaret said earnestly
"You don't need to But she en-
vies you"
"Envieg me! What fir?"
'Can't you guess! Ito you sup-
pose if she had a child she would
be carrying around a French
poodle?"
"But she never tacatices Junior:"
"of course not Now go on with
your dinner and I'll sew a bit on
these rompers Junior naist be
wearing them when Daddy comes
home"
"Mrs a'annions you are a great
dear And Juniar and I both love
you" Alargaret said softly
She ran into the kitchen and be-
gan to peel potatoes and pound
steak But her mind dwelt upon
Lcuise Kendall rather than um
rate good woman in the living
room Junior hurt Louise That
was why
Suddenly Margaret filled a plate
with Feed rooliie snatched an um-
brella and ran out the back door

"Won't you take 'eta to her your-
self now?" Ada grinned and opened
a door "I'mt know where to go"
she said "The little den She's
t here"
Margaret tapped lightly and a
voice bado her enter But ea alio
confronted Mrs Kendall she real-
ized that the woman had expected
Ada and was tistonished to be
caught AO was by another per-
son Site had been crying bitterly
and her beauty wag so dimmed by
tears that Margaret set down the
plate of cookies went to her and
put comforting ernis around her
"Oh my aeari" the younger wo-
man breathed
Mrs Kendall strove for recovery
"rm onn of those unfortunate
people vho cannot look without en-
vy upon others' happiness she
said "I know I was perfectly hate-
ful to you thIH afternoon tuol re-
morse has been getting in its work
Will you forgive me Margaret'?"
"Of course—if there's anything to
flrc!ve But I think I understand"
"I wonder if you do However
I'm going to tell you"
For half an hour they talked as
only two women can who have
found a real meeting place There
had been three Kendall babies and
they had all died one after the
other Tiltql In defiance of fate
Mrs Kendall had to to motors
and French poodlem But the ma-
ternal in her yearned and suffered
In spite of her outward show of in-
difference "Come upstairs" she said "I've
got a drawerful of things that were
my little hoy's They will just fit
YOU r Junior"
It was useless for Margaret to
protest She was laden with lovely
things such as she could never
hope to buy for Junior They Ix ere
Just the right size too
Mra Ernmons was putting the
last stitches into the blue rompers
as Nlargaret entered
"I set the steak back and I think
the potatoes are done" she said
Margaret kissed her but her
heart somehow went out with
greater tenderness to the woman
aim had just left
The sun waii out when Will came
home Junior was wearing the blue
rompers and WS father went wild
over him
'Regular April weather' Will
said holding Junior to the window
"Rain and Sunshine Like life eh

Wisconsin spent $126217211 for

Records kept by county officials
show that 529) families with 13-
712 children were aided during that
time the expense tieing borne en-

state appropriation of $300u0 pro

This law has been in operation in
Wisconsin since 1913 this state be-
im among the early ones enacting
aid for families of dependent chil-
dren to maintain homes and assure
them a mother's care and training
where possible
In 14 years the state has spent a
total of $811732458 taring for 38-
804 families with 107693 children
Forty-two of the states Lave such a
law
In 1926 the average family allow-

AGRICULTRUAL
SUGGESTIONS
Sow ONLY LOU tiLY ADAPTED
CLOVER AND ALFALFA SEED
Since clover and alfalfa are two
legume crops of great value in
maintaining cr11 fertility and in
supplying a high-proteia roughage
every effort should be made to
grow these crops successfully says
the United States Department of
Agriculture
All imported clover and alfalfa
seed not adapted to general agricul-
tural uses must$ according to a re-
cent act of congress be stained red
hen It enters the United States
Seed from Canada that is well
adapted for use in our northern
states will be stained violet and
seed from all other foreign coun-
tries if adapted to agricultural
uses will be colored green to Indi-
cate its foreign origin
SOM ETHING FOR NOTHING
BY 1$ IF CROP ROTATION
The starting point In business
farming is crop rotation or the es-
tablishment of systematic cropping
systems to maintain soil produc-
tivity The three farm practices
which contribute most effectually
to the production of such major
crops as wheat corn and oats are
cultivation crop rotation and the
use of fertilizers both manure and
commercial materials These three
operations rank almost equally in
importance but the Bureau of Soils
of the United States Department of
Agriculture points out that while
the cultivation of the soil and the
use of fertilizers are more or less
expensive rotation of crops does
not appear as an item of expense
in any farm cost-accounting sys-
tem It is true that a farmer may
spend time or energy in planning
a rotation that is in determining
a sequence of crops which will en-
able each crop to derive the maxi-
mum benefit from preceding crops
and give the greatest benefit to
subsequent crops and in getting
the rotation established on his
farm This however is counted as
an expression of his managerial
ability for which he receives re-
ward in the form of managerial in-
come if through good management
be succeeds in realizing net profits
Thus in rotation of crops a farmer
has at his command without any
monetary cost to him a means
whereby he can materially increase
the output of his land and reduce
crop-production costs

MOON' FkIIMING
IS MOONSHINE
Moon farming according to the
Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture
has absolutely no support from any
scientific point of view By "moon
farming" Is meant sowing or reap-
ing breeding or butchering shin-
gling or shearing or any other
farm activities supposed to be af-
fected by the "dark" or the "light"
or some other phase of the moon
For example up to the time of the
French revolution it was forbidden
by law in France to fell trees be-
tween new moon and full moon
Many old sayings bear witness to
the common belief in guiding farm
practice by the state of the moon
such as:
"Sow peasen and beans in the wane
of the moon
Who soweth them pooner he
soweth too soon"
The scientist points out that the
chief things affecting the growth of
crops at any stage are: Tempera-
ture of soil and air composition of
adjacent atmosphere kind and In-
tensity of light presence or ab-
sence and severity of plant dis-
ease mechanical condition of the
soil loose or compact fertility of
the soil and quant'tv of other veg-
etation or weeds present Meteor-
ologists can show that the moon
has nothing to do with any of these
conditions a'itcting crops It has
no influence on weather or soil
Even the light of the full moon is
not nearly intense enough to have
any effect on plant growth or plaat
diseases
The conclusion therefore is nec-
essarily that "moon farming" is
"moonshine" and that the only
good it ever did SN as through the
systematizing of farm work fixing
a time for all activities mil tn'e
force it imparted tc that very nec-
essary Injunction "Do it now"

cooked
When hanging sheets on the line
pin the corners together and pin
them to the line thus saving un-
necessary foldiLg and keeping the

wild rabbits is liked by many per-

ceptable and consequently the do-
mestic rabbit is scarcely known by
these people

Ey Ida Baumann WiMely
A wonJrous melody tilled the air
I turned me 'round to see
A little robin on the bough
Was 'singing merrily
He sang about the '''pringtirne
And of the sunshine free
Of birds and flowers of happy
hours
And hollyhocks to be
Today I cannot find him
I've hunted everywhere
The ground is covered o'er with
snow
My heart's filled with despair
Jack Frost ba3 played a merry
trirk
But now he had his fling
Coma back and sing upon the
bough
Sweet harbinger of Spring!
