Like ours is now, when you begin to Hneeze from looking for muskmelon Beed in the back hall, or from taking off the sweater you started out in. The best way is to keep one coal grate going in the chilliest room, and forget it unless you get your feet wet pulling up weeds, or the baby's woolens need drying out, or the dayold chicks are cheeping for a hensubstitute. The John M. Villepigue Company sell any kind or quantity of coal you like, and send it up promptly. * # Did you ever hear of a dictionary with pictures in it?

But there is sweeter music still, if you'll await its comingv For bees may hum and birds may sing? another sound surpasses all these? ' and it is not a thing but tinkling ice j in glasses. It crackles and it tinkles ; till it makes a music rare. It is a siren voice that bids you wait to get your share. For of all the needs up-1 on this earth, there's one that still 1 comes first. No matter how we quench it, the name of it is thirst. , U tllllU-'Uf 1 j Which would you rather have take the roof from over your head, a tor-, nado or a mortgage? (Answer on t < p-ge 999) m As a matter of fact, nobody cares i much about a roof now, because Na- ' ture has just about called everybody out doors, she is still doing her stunts and the curtain hasn't gone down yet. 1 People who can afford it are buy-, ing iron furniture with canvas cover- < ing and little cross-legged chairs and t sunshades, because nothing else goes ( so well with beach pajamas worn at a distance of forty miles from a beach. Others are standing over fa- * ther with cool drinks while he saws I away at smelly new lumber, and digs holes here, there and everywhere until l he gets them at just the right place J ?and by day after tomorrow, the neighbors are relieved to see it really does turn out to be a creditable seat, under the old oak tree. , If everybody had a tool chest, and each year gave it a present, it would * soon fill up with one reliable, tool for j each use. < Saws that have good sharp teeth, ] hammers that hit the nail, on the-, head, a hatchet for kindling, screwdrivers with smooth handles, a few 1 extra hinges, plenty of nails, tacks,.: etc., all arraTTged and locked up so ( they don't disappear one by one-? such ( a box can be a nice looking affair and a joy forever. Once an old lady was given a box of tacks and a little hammer for ; Christmas?and she had the time of her life tacking up things that had been needing tacking up for years and years?and she just hadn't thought about it till she found what fun it was hammering and nailing. ** * * . It is inspiring to find an old person who is friendly and hospitable, but not absolutely dependent on anybody , else for anything. Such a lady lives not so far away. "Yes, I live all by j' myself." "No?I'm not the least bit i nervous?I never think about being alone. I work at my house and my flowers and my garden.

Read, who was protected twice on Saturday from rapidly forming mobs by a quick thinking plains sheriff, was located in the Cheyenne county jail where he had been hidden away. A mob estimated at 200 heavily armed men, motored swiftly into St. Francis late last night, seized Sheriff A. A. Bacon and Deputy J. H. Indoors, obtained the keys to the jail, and departed with their prisoner. Leaving St. Francis the automobile caravan headed eastward toward Seldom 76 miles away, home of the school girl victim and her attacker. About midway between the two small towns and near Atwood, the motorists halted. A rope was suspended from a tree, and Head was swung to his doom. Only a few miles away, in Atwood was Gov. Harry H. Woodring, of Kansas, who arrived today on a political campaign tour. Police offices of Rawlins county, of which Atwood is the'county seat, failed to intercept the mob when the caravan left the main highway. An unidentified member of the mob telephoned Charles E. Henneberger, coroner of Rawlins county, who left for the scene to take charge of the body. , The lynching took place on the ko Lymann ranch. More than a score of years ago, before the miracle of wheat turned western Kansas into an alternatively greening and browning landscape, Chauncey Depew was hanged on a neighboring tract. e died for the slaying of a family in a cattleman's feud. The seizure of Read, a bachelor farmer, and former Colorado convict, was not entirely unexpected but startled the little county seat town with its suddenness. Read whs hurried to St. Francis yesterday ahead of fifty automobile loads of angry men, immediately after he had led Sheriff Ed McGinley jf Thomas county to a hay stack in which he had hidden the girl's body. Dorothy had been missing since rhursday_evening when she retura>d to the Selden school house for a 'orgotten dinner bucket. Read, a neighbor, was arrested because of bis previous convition of isa'aulting a 15-year-old girl in Col)rado. Officers said he confessed he md lured Dorothy to his car with a itring of beads, then attacked and >ent her to death. Large Deficit For Southern Railway / / Nfcw York, April 16.?A decline in rcneral business and the competition )f automobile trucks, waterways and pipelines are blamed for a deficit of [l.1>,$22,8-12 suffered by the Southern Railway company last year. This is set forth in the pamphlet -eport of the company for 1931, is,tre'd today, showing the deficit is comparable with a net income in 1930 >f $9,126,512. The report also points out that last year was the first in the history of the rpad in which it had failed to earn its fixed charges. Although making no forecast for future business, President Fairfax Harrison, in his statement to stockholders, said that while agriculture had suffered from low prices, the picture "in 1931 was not entirely black."

'But this summer." he said, "I amj .,t Cole Blease. and I'm going to tight them." America's exports of tobacco to Australia will be materially reduced if plans in a state of formation mature. Australian manufacturers arc making agreements with growers of the weed on the islttmd continent to take 7,200,000 pound* of tobacco at 60 cents a pound. This amount represents practically the whole of this year's Australian crop.

Two-Horse Farm' Barn Plans ~ . i Clemson College, April 16.?The average small-farm barn needs much to make it adequate, convenient, substantial and presentable in appearance, says J. T. McAlister, extension agricultural engineer, who with C. W. Stroman, his assistant, has prepared Agricultural Engineering Circular 16, "A General-Purpose Barn for the This < <<mimeor graphed circular, now ready for distribution by Mr. McAlister's office, contains plans and specifications for barns to meet t/he needs of the onehorse and two-horse farms of small owners, renters and share-croppers at inexpensive cost. Plans shown in this circular do not call for an elaborate or expensive structure. In fact, the general plan is similar to barns commonly found on small farms, but much more conveniently arranged and presenting a better appearance. Many barns have a large hallway or passage through ; the center. This adds to convenient in feeding and harnessing but requifes valuable..space that may be utilized to a bette? advantage when so few animals are housed. In these plant hay can be fed from the loft directly into racks in stalls, and a similar arrangement could be made to feed corn from the centrally located crib into feed troughs. The proper location of the barn for proper drainage, sanitation and convenience, is discussed, ? size, materials of construction and general suggestions. Alvin Eller, 23, has made a con- \ fession to the police of Los Angeles, Gal., in which he says he murdered . Gus Bobous, merchant of Valdese, j N?

EUer gave the names of two others wKh him when the killing occurred and said that the killing'W&s done by one I>wight Beard. 7 a --JI \ Ross's Specials I I Plate Meat . $4.50 per hundred 1 Butt Meat . . $4.50 per hundred 1 Guaranteed Flour, 96s, bbl. $3.90 1 LARD ... 60 lb. tub $3.75 1 SUGAR . . 100 lbs. $4.20 1 Blue Rose Rice 100 lbs. $3,25: 1 Pure Hog Lard . 6c per pound 1 ' 1 We also carry large stock of Field and Garden 1 !
