MADE BIG MISTAKE
Of Course They Had Plenty of
Money Now, But?
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. WVve got money to spend
an* we've gotten plumb by the time
of life when we can get any pleasure
out of It. I believe In puttln' some,
thing by for a rainy day all right, but
I don't believe In It when you kill
youth an* pleasure. ? I'm sorry as I can
be, John, but I don't want the trip." ?
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."
