Farm people come for the Nov day, and usually have to bring the children. The little ones soon get tired. And at the average fair ground there is not place at all for mother and little ones to sit and rest a while. Well, Mr Paul Moore of the State Fair took me up on that suggestion. ' and he later told me he was putting a lot of benches around. I saw i hundreds of folks there enjoying those seats at the Fair this fall. And I am sure they went home less tired that day and feeling a bit better about fairs in general The Sumter fair has long provided some seats, and there are possibly • others. I am sure patrons would ap- ! predate it if all would. Boys Are That Way I always liked to play around and watch the work at the blacksmith shop at the foot of the hill below j cur house in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. On a June day we had a good rain on the night before. So we didn't I have to work that day. And a lot of ' folks brought their horses and mules to be shod. I specially liked to see that job done. Some of them were usually: , unruly, and I liked to see 'em con quer them with a twitch on the nose or otherwise. • I always thought that I blacksmith was the bravest man 1 had ever seen. He'd take hold of i the hind leg of a kicking mule or horse, srtretch it back, get straddle of it, and hold it like a vise between his knees. And stretched out that I way, the an.mal couldn’t kick at all. It was interesting to see him pre pare the shoes. They come too long,' and you heat them and cut 'em off to fit. I was playing around there that day and went over to the anvil to tap it with the hammer to hear, it ring, when he took the shoe he , was working on in the tongues out to I see if it fit the hoof just right. I I didn't see that piece of hot metal 1 he had just cut off the shoe sizzling there in the black dust. And I planked my bare foot right on it. It took a few seconds for it to burn through the thick skin on the, bottom of my foot. But when it had done that and hit the “quick”, I, | leaped, let up a yell, and lit out. 11 I went on down the road, so they could i not tease me. But I could hear them 1 laughing as I left Down by the old persimmon tree, I soaked it in the water that was left in a pot-hole ' there in the red clay ditch. It hurt : me a lot ori into the night. And for I weeks I w alked around on the toe | of that foot. It got me out of a lot jf work, which made the experience not altogether bad. TO YOUR FAMILYT It takes more than arithmetic to add up the full value of the telephone when Grandmother calls up to say, “Happy Birthday” . . . when Mother wants to tell the druggist, “Rush the order, please'* ... or when Junior hears the magic words, “I’m giving a party— you’re invited.” Between the calls you make and the calls you receive, the telephone is such an ictive partner in your daily life it’s almost one of the family I Day and night, ram or shine, it serves the whole family in countless ways—running errands, spreading cheer, bringing friends and loved ones closer.

And it grows bigger as the number of people you can call keep increasing and the service becomes faster and better.
