Once I was snoozing by the open fire on a winter day, with my feet poked out on the hearth. A coal of fire popped out and went down the side of my open top shoe.

And, second, the labor short age also caused them to give up po tatoes on many farms, they requir- ng moft hand labor at times than <■ otton. A bit of commercial sweet potato .nterest is being kept alive by our state 4-H sweet potato contest. The past year the Darlington county team of six 4-H club.boys was the win ning group. The reward, other than their fine potatoes, 1 was a trip with neir county agent to New York with iheir car of potatoes to fodlow the crop through the marketing chan nels, after the potatoes had been packed and loaded out right at their long time, if you keep ’em greased. We used tallow and lard for that, which helped make ’em waterproof too. For we had no rubber overshoes then. And the stone hills were tied final from my trust as administrator. Any person indebted to said es tate is notified and required to make payment on or before that date; and all persons having claims against said estate will present them on or before said date, duly proven, or be forever barred.
