Farmer Had Forgotten That Tima Wat Robbing Him and Hit Wife of Youth Whila Ha Wat Pil ing Up tha Dollars. t '""*L The farmer sat In the circle of light! shed by i lu* lamp on the reading table. Ills brow was wrinkled as he ran over the llgiires |u bin bankbook wllb a stubby lead |>encll. While he figured, hlN wife sewed steadily an?l the old chxk ou the mantel couuted the sec onds under Its breath. At length the man placed his spec tacles lu their case, put his clasped bands above one knee, siulled slowly and said: "The last payment on the l>awklns farm has been paid, Jluny, au' I're got n right smart balance left lu the bank. That last bunch of shoatft I sold brought more money than I thought they would." For h time he sat evidently waiting for his wife to make some remark, but Iter needle clicked steadily along a hem, while her eyes appeared glued to her work. The farmer leaned forward, touched his wife upon her kuee uml continued: "Don't you remember, ?Jln? uy, ever so lon^ ago, I told you that Just as soon as the Dawklns place was puhl for you an* 1 would take u trip, a great big trip, anywhere you wanted to tor "Yes," the womau auswered without ?taking her eyes from the hem, "yea, 1 remember very well. It was- Just 1$ years ago that you said we'd take that trip. John" . "Well ? but ? say, Jinny, ain't you a bit Kind It's come at last?" the tuan asked. *-I don't know, I don't know. You see, John, when we planned that trip I was Just a little bit over thirty. I hadn't got into the rut like 1 am now. Honest, I've stayed out here In the country year after year by myself un til I'm sensitive. . When 1 go to town I look an* act like I was from the coun try. Maybe I don't look that way, but I feel that way on the Inside an' I might Just as well look that way. If the trip had come sooner it'd been all right, but It's too late now." "But, Jinny, you know I was payln' ? " "Never mind that, John, I've heard that same ol' story of p*yln' for more land for years now. You've done It all for the best, but It has been for the*worst.

Form and Family. American Sardine*. Our Imports of sardines from France and other European countries lmvi' been almost entirely cut off by war, but the California sardine Industry Is developing so rapidly that N. B. Sco flcld, flsli ond game commissioner of that state, estimates an output of 2, 500,000 cases of California sardines In another year. The- California sardine has suffered market handicaps due to lack of standardization of pack. This difficulty Is now being overcome by coi operation among the packers, and bet? ter methods of handling the fish from the time they are taken out of the water aintll they go into the can are being developed. Canners representing 90 per cent of the Maine sardine can ning industry in co-operation with the food administration have voluntarily agreed to reduce their price to $5.00 a case of 100 cans for the one-fourth ?i/,e in oil and for the three-fourths size In mustard, and $rt.lO ? case of 100 key can* in the one-fourth size in oil. | This will enable retailers to sell the key less cans ut three for 25 cents, and the grocery trade has lined up behind the Maine canners to distribute both till? and Inst yenr'sipnck at those prices. Common Sense Plus. The class In' Commercial English was studying the parcel post aystem. The subject being discussed was the size of admlssable matter under this class, to be sent In any zone, The cor rect rule for this Is to measure the parcel from end to end with an 84 lnch tape measure, and then use tie rest of the measure to stretch around the circumference of the parcel. If any surplus Inches of tape come nround, then the parcel Is of correct sire. . "Suppose," suld the teacher, bring ing foffti a practical example, "that I were to hare an umbrella. Louise, how could I tert whether or not It could be sent?" Louise Hrose reluctantly and studied for a moment In silence. At last she answered. "Well, I think I'd close the umbrella first."
