All they had was a forked stick they stirfred up little plots of soil with. On W. D. Jackson’s farm at Bow man some time ago the following monsters of the -power age were all at work there at the. same time: 2 Lrge bulldozers, one dragline o.tvher, 5'dump trucks and a dozen men. And there 12 men plus the ma chines were doing the work that it would have taken a veritable multi tude of men alone to have done.

He was correct also in • stating that I would not seek nomination to political office. I have frequently and publicly expressed my refusal to do so.''

Another one was, we believed if a turtle T or cooter as we called ’em,; bi* you it wouldn’t turn loose until it thundered. I think they told us that to make us careful in messing with; those creatures, as-we’ explored from the source to the mouth of our creek, j That thing was indelibly impressed on my mind. And I had a number of nightmares, thinking one of those things had me and the skies were clear. f In fact, we were always doubly careful around them during long dry spells. But on out during the thund erstorms of summer, we always felt a bit moj#-secure. In fact, we played with^tfiem when it was thundering, Knowing a bite couldn’t* last long. As kids we .wouldn’t think of turping around and going back to get something we forgot without first making a cross mark there in the path with our big toe and'spit ting on it. .That was to w.ird off bad luck.
