Very determinedly she began, "Susy Cow was out in the meadow eating the green grass when— That was it "when” — what? In her mind’s eye she tried to total all the stories she had written about Susy Cow, Timothy Piggie and Horatious Horse. The stories would reach to the moon, of that she was sure. But they did keep a roof over the heads of she and her daughter, Jean. Doris went to the window for Inspiration. The same dull yard, the same dull neighborhood of the town of East Branch was there. She wished desperately that she might write something altogether different but according to the pub lishers the youngest generation had not had their fill of Susy, Timothy and Horatious. They wanted more. Sometime, she reflected, she would burst out and write something but those too-familiar epics, publishers or no. Doris smiled then, for from the window she saw 17-year-old Jean standing on the corner with Petey. They were talking with intense in terest. Doris went to the kitchen and fixed a thick sandwich in readiness for Jean. She reflected that for one so dreamy looking, so ethereal, Jean had no loss of ap petite. She practically marched to the typewriter then, determined that Susy Cow would be doing some thing before Jean breezed in. As it happened, an iddh hit Doris, an idea so overwhelming that she sat and whistled like Jean. Could she? She would! She was whizzing away at her typewriter when Jean came in. "Hullo, Mov,” Jean called loudly. “I’m starved!” "There’s a sandwich,” Doris an swered shortly and went on typing. Jean munched the sandwich and asked, “Got an idea for dear, dear Horatious at last?” “Yes. Brand new,” Doris an swered absently, clicking away. Jean was in the mood for con versation and altho she might have noticed that her mother had a far away look she had to tell her the school gossip. “Alice had a new dress on; called it a rag, but she was careful to let the label show. Petey liked me In bangs, but Chuck says it puts me in the kiddie car class—. Mov, you’re not listening!” “You’d be surprised what a good listener I am,” Doris answered, but Jean turned on the radio full blast then and Doris resumed typing. Days passed. Jean talked this day of Petey, that day of Chuck and forever worried whether she looked kiddie car young or hideously old, even twenty! “Can't you forget the seven-year- olds and concentrate on the 17- year-old?” she asked plaintively after finding Doris typing for many days. ’’This story is—different. Maybe I ought to tell you—.” Doris began. But Jean clapped her hands over her ears and ran from the room. “Spare me the details. I’ve posi tively heard my last Horatious yam." She grinned wickedly. "Just let me help with the check.” There was a reward for Doris’ tired fingers the day the publishers wired her that the synopsis had been altogether satisfactory and to rush the completed manuscript. They sent an advance that left Doris dizzy. “I’m made, Jean” she crowed. It’s easy street for us from now on.” Jean picked up the check, un believingly. “Did Timothy and Horatious do this? Oh, I love ’em to pieces. What will we buy first, Mov?" That evening there was no typing for Doris and Jean mentally spent thousands, maybe millions. “We ought to move to New York,” Doris told Jean. “I’m sick of this town. An apartment—with someone else to shovel snow all winter and weed all summer!” “It will be Just too-too wonder ful,” Jean relaxed In dreams of their future. One minute she ap peared as still as the Sleeping It wasn’t as much fun as in the books.' ” A few pages further Jean read of the time she had caught the front of her dress on a porch rail ing at a dance and had tom a strip completely off without noticing. On the dance floor she became aware that two inches of her slip showed. But several dances later three other girls had “suffered” similar acci dents. Next day 10 girls tried the new style. Jean sniffled and flipped more pages. There was the account of the time the new life guard began duty. He was wonderfully hand- “Can’t yon forget the seven-year-olds and concentrate on the 17-year-old?” she asked plaintively after finding Doris typing. Beauty, the next she went tearing to the ’phone. “Gotta tell Petey,” she called. "Wait! Something could go wrong—,” Doris cautioned. But Jean was already saying, “Guess what? Horatious came thru In a big way!” C'ROM then on things were even " more hectic than they usually were around Jean. The crowd dropped In often, thrilling with Jean over the move or mourning that they’d perish if she dared leave. It seemed to Doris in those frantic weeks that life was a round of typ ing and cleaning up the kitchen after the raids of Jean's gang. The publishers were getting impatient and already sending a few sample ideas of their promotion plans for the book. The day it was finished Doris felt vaguely uneasy and went for a long walk. On the path by the river she told herself she wouldn’t dare sit down or after all those nights of work she would do a Rip Van Winkle. Back home Jean came in with her usual, “Mov, I’m starved!” Munching an apple she sat down at her mother’s desk and picked up the top page of the new story. She was curious about the excitement her mother had uncorked for the seven-year-old gang. The title appalled her. It was “Life With Jean.” She began read ing; she skipped pages. It was all there. Her story. It began with her first date with Petey. They were 12. At a kids' party Jean had thought Petey “hers” but after wards he had gotten on his bike, waved casually and rode away leaving Jean to walk home alone. Jean gasped. Skipping a few pages, she read: "—she was wash ing her face—washing?—practically scrubbing. When asked why, Jean answered calmly, ‘Petey kissed me. ML WHITE TAPERS f I ■tR.UTH and beauty glow from this old Book | Like tall white tapets aet to light the way; JL O hearts diSressed and burdened, if we look There is a lighr for every darkened day Here In the living truth, before our eyes. To cheer and’comfort, and to make us wise. These ate the words of others who have known Great tribulation, whose bright faith was lit Out in the dark, and there with God alone They found His Jove—the pawK and firength of it; They found His everhftihg•tfflj.spdlud Their burdens in them, and were amurudf So we should come, in this bewilderment.

Conning the old Book over, there we find The light to which we long have been too blind. some and Jean had an Inspiration to require a rescue. He had paddled all 15 years of her and then shown her the picture of his wife and small boy. Even Jean’s wail, “Why are such good looks wasted on mar ried men,” was there. She read of the time Chuck had come to East Branch. His con vertible had won Jean over at first. Petey and Chuck eventually settled It “man to man.” Jean thrilled hearing of Petey’s bloody nose and Chuck’s dislocated Jaw. “I'm in famous. I’m notorious. I’ve been fought for,” she had crowed. Jean was crying stormily as her mother came in. “How could you!” she demanded. Doris’ heart sank. “But, honey, it was so cute. After all, New York, new clothes—,” she coaxed. “I’d perish if Petey read this drivel,” Jean told her coldly. “Horsefeathers!" Doris straight ened the jumbled pages. “Think what it means. If East Branch smiles a little now, it will be for gotten a year from now.” "I’m not living In a year from now,” Jean cried furiously. “It’s now!” She blew her nose loudly. She tugged at her mother’s arm. “Say you’ll cancel It, Mov. I’d run away, honest.” Her voice trembled. “Petey means more to me than old New York.” Doris gave her daughter a very searching look. She took a quiv ering breath and managed a faint, “You win.” Jean danced, she turned on the radio. “Come on, Mov. let’s put the old thing In the furnace.” She was all smiles now. Doris had sat down weakly at her desk. But her voice was stem. “No! Label it yourself, ‘Open In 1968.’ ” “I’ll be frightfully old then," Jean complained. “I’ll be aged. 37!” “But it will make such beautiful reading for your own ’teensters,” Doris commented acidly. She ran a clean sheet of white paper into her typewriter . and began, “Susy Cow was out in the meadow—.” bv NANCY PEPPER CHAIN GANG Every season there’s a new jewel ry fad that sweeps through the hi- school halls like, an Art Lund record ing.

Elevator Will Serve Many Uses on Farm Conveyors Eliminate ‘Back-Breaking’ Chores Elevators are becoming as com mon on farms as they are in city department stores. They are, how ever, of a different kind—and not used for the same purposes. Unless, of course, city stores have started conveying farm produce from the sidewalk into ninth or tenth story ’■mows.” Farmers began to think seriously about elevators and conveyors dur ing the last war, and they’ve been doing something about them ever since. Many built their own equip ment Others bought commercial models. The source matters little— it’s what they can do that counts most. All-purpose elevators, either port able or stationary, are capable of elevating to desired heights baled, chopped or loose hay, ear corn. root crops, shelled com, ground grain and forage. Chopped hay is being elevated, in the accompanying illustration. They do these “back-breaking’’ chores easily, and all day long with out complaining. However, before you build or buy an elevator be sure you know for what it is to be used. That knowledge will determine the size and type best suited for your needs. Costs of operation vary somewhat, but, in general, farmers can figure on it taking Uf>m 1/10 to five kilo watt hours of power to elevate 1,000 bushels of grain with an elevator, run by a five horsepower motor. Small Farm Units Are Big Implement Buyers Two-thirds of the one and one- half billion dollars being spent for agricultural implements this year is being expended for small one-family farms, according to a recent survey of the Anti-Friction Bearing Manu facturers association. For the first time the small farm operator, who owns 6 per cent of the country’s total farm acreage, will be the biggest customer for automatic labor-saving implements. The low ebb of farm labor as well as the increase in farm savings has been responsible for the mechaniza tion of the smaller farms. One outstanding result is that by 1950, it is estimated that four mil lion farms will produce S3 per cent more than the total production of six million farms before the war. Plastic Lily Pond Koroseal or plastic lily ponds make it possible for the farmer as well as the city dweller to have a lily pool without the expense of building a stone or concrete basin. The plastic pond may be emptied, folded up and brought indoors and stored during the winter months. The pond also may be used as a wading pool for children or as a duck pond. Weevil Damage in Grain Traced to Unclean Bins Prevention of weevil damage to the new crop is possible if the granary is cleaned and sprayed with DDT. Nearly all cases of “weevily" grain can be traced to unclean bins, according to Purdue university en tomologists. Any infestation which occurs likely will come from insects which remain from year to year In the grain and can be prevented b> proper cleaning SCRIPTURE 1 Acta 9:36-42; Matthew 26:31-46. DEVOTIONAL READING: ProvarU SI :10-S1. Religion; Hand-Sewn Lesson for August 22, 1948 Dr. yoreman T HE NEIGHBORS didn’t know what Tabitha’s ideas were. She never went down in history as a great thinker. What church she at tended, whether she ever took part in a prayer -meeting, what her spiritual life was like, the neighbors did not say. But they cried when she was dead. She was a good woman, they knew. When Simon Peter came that way, they did not tell him about Tabitha's prayers or her peace of conscience. No doubt she had these. But what the neighbors brought in to show how good their friend had been, was — “coats and garments.” All made by hand, her hands; made for her poorer neighbors, widows. In those days widows were not protected by life insurance, social security or annuity plans. They could not go out and earn big money in factories. To be a widow, as a rule, meant to be in need of belp. Too many of them starved. So Tabitha spent her time making clothes for the widows of her city. Full of Good Works T HE BIBLE says she was ‘‘full of good works.” It does not say she was full of faith or full of love. Just full of good works. We can be pretty sure the faith and love, the religion, was there, but it was the good works that people noticed. Religion in Tabitha’s house was translated into the language of coats and skirts. Religion al ways has to be translated into something we can understand. Religion uses words, of course; books fall of them. We cannot get along without them. They stand for something. Bnt where the Christian religion is con cerned, we cannot stop with words. • • • Would They Wont You Bock? T HERE MUST have been a num ber of deceased Christians in Joppa, but the only one who seems to have been worth a miracle to bring back to life was this woman, Tabitha, or Dorcas. Her life was over, yet it was a life worth living again. How many people would be worth bringing back to life again? How many funerals would the neighbors want done in reverse? Not many, maybe, but if the neighbors voted at each funeral, as they did at Tabitha’s, on the question, “Do we want this person back again?” they would usually vote for people like Tabitha, whose religion was al) hand-sewn. • • • What Is Service? S ERVICE IS a word much used in Christian circles. We even have the world around us using the word. Department stores, government agencies, radio manufacturers, fill ing stations, all offer service. The trouble is that much of this is some thing for which you have to pay. And much so-called service is sim ply mending something that was not done right in the first place. Tabitha’s service was of a different kind. It was genuine doing for people who couldn’t do much for themselves and who certainly could not do anything in return. Even among Christians, when we think of service we set our sights sometimes too high. We think of Telemachus, who stopped the brutal sport of gladiators murdering one another on Roman holidays. We think of great missionaries or set tlement workers, or Christian statesmen like Gladstone or Kuy- pei;. All honor to such men and women; th^y inspire us all. Yet they discourage us, too. For these great Christians are “special” people; they had outstanding talent, some of them even genius. They had opportunities given only to a few, opportunities that do not come in every one’s lifetime. • • • Religion in the Hands W E SHOULD REMEMBER this Tabitha or Dorcas. All she had was her hands and some pieces of cloth. Her only opportunity was a poor city filled with poor people. Her only talent was one most women have: Plain sewing. Yet the Tabithas, the Dor cases, make the backbone of Christianity. They are the salt of the church, the salt of the earth. In your own town, in your own community, if the Christian religion Is loved and respected, It is not because of the famous preachers; it is be cause of the humble doers, the people whose Christian religion goes to their hands.
