Married Women
Earning More
For the first time in history mar
ried women outnumber single wo
men with paying Jobs, according to
Paul C. Click of the U. S. bureau of
census.
Since* 1940. Click says, there has
been a 50 per cent increase in the
working wives labor force. Today,
the husband is the sole provider in
only three fifths of the husband and
wife household.
"Five sixths of the married wo
men working have either no depen
dent children In the home or chil
dren of school age only,” Click ex
plains. Click believes this means the
advance of the standards of family
living.

THE RIFLE
By DANIEL F. LINDSAY
« /"\NLY $30.” The clerk smiled
down at Jud as he banded
him the rifle.
“Uh," Jud hesitated for a mo
ment as his trembling fingers ran
along the dull barrel. “I haven’t
got that much.”
“Sorry son.” He took it back.
Jud’s wistful eyes followed him as
he sat it in the rack and hurried
down the counter. Thirty dollars!
He had a sick feeling as he
stumbled out of the store. Why,
he’d never even had his hands on
that much money. As he walked
down the street he swung the bag
of salt from hand to hand. If a
rifle cost that much, think how
much that house must have cost.
Enough to buy all the rifles in the
world.
Reaching the edge of town he
started up the twisted mountain
road. Unconsciously his bare cal
loused feet avoided the blistering
hot rocks. Any other day he would
have walked close to the Jagged
cut formed by the road. Today he
didn’t care about the cool shade.
His mind was still back at the
little store. Maybe his Pa would
get it anyway. The thought made
him half run. As he rounded the
curve he could see his mother
waiting for him in the doorway.
“You sure made a quick trip
Jud. What you so excited about?”
“I got to talk to Pa.” He handed
her the bag of salt and went inside
for a drink of water. She followed
him with amused eyes.
“What about son?” He hung the
cup back on its hook and shook his
head. “Man talk, mom.”
“Oh, I see,” she ducked her
head. “Well, he’s out in the upper
pasture.” He rushed outside again.
"Pa,” he shouted as he reached
the edge of the tree ringed field,
“It’s down at the store.”
“What’s down at the store, son?”
His eyes were affectionate as he
watched Jud gallop toward him.
"The end of the world done up in
pink ribbons?"
“No, Pa.” His young face was
serious as he slid to a stop. “My
rifle. The one I want.”
“Oh?” Pa looked away uncom
fortably. “You sure it’s the one
you want?” How he had dreaded
this day. All winter long they had
talked of guns, particularly the
one Jud would get some day. Each
time they went to the store Jud
would rush eagerly over to the
shiny gun case, but they never
suited him. Gradually it had
reached the "maybe, someday”
stage. Pa had been glad.
“Sure Pa. I went down for a bag
of salt and there it was.” His
eyes were shining. “You ought to
see it.’’
“How much did they say it was,
son?” Mentally he braced him
self.
“Well,” his face fell a trifle, “it
was $30.”
“I see,” Pa took his hand,
“we’ll have to talk about it later.
Right now I want you to help me
mend some fences.”
Slowly the afternoon passed for
Jud. Every minute seemed a year.
He watched his father’s set face
out of the comer of his eye. By the
time they started back down the
path toward the house his heart
was heavy. Whenever Pa acted
like this it meant they didn’t have
the money. Silently he ate his sup
per and went to bed.
It was several hours before he
fell asleep. He listened closely to
the rise and fall of his father’s
voice, straining to make out the
muffled words. It was useless. The
walls of the old log cabin weren’t
built for eavesdropping. After a
while he heard the sounds of their
going to bed and the house was
silent. He lay there staring miser
ably at the ceiling, his mind filled
with the deep aching and despair
that goes with wanting the unat
tainable. Finally his tired little
brain could stand no more and he
fell into a restless sleep.
The early morning sunlight
streaming across his face woke
him. He started to jump up, then
remembered the rifle and sank
back. The sounds of hungry ani
mals edged around his conscious
ness. He could hear Pete, Blackie
and Joe, his lame sheep, bleating
for him. At least, he shrugged his
shoulders, I’ve got them.
“Son,” his mother came in from
the kitchen, “As soon as you’re
dressed your Pa wants to talk to
you.”
“All right.” He hurried into his
pants and shirt. At least he would
know for sure. His father smiled
as he entered.
“Good morning Jud."
"Morning Pa.” His eyes searched
his father’s face for a sign.
“Your mom and I talked about
the rifle last night, son.” Jud just
stood there. “And we don’t think
we can spare the money right
now.”
“Okay, Pa,” his face feU, “$30
is a lot of money.”
“But,” his father continued, "we
did think of a way you could get
the rifle if you wanted it bad
enough."
“Oh, I do. Pa." His face was
one broad smile. "I want it more
than anything in the world.”
“Enough to sell your sheep?”
UD pushed open the screen door
and walked outside without an
swering. His mother and father
exchanged glances and went on
with their breakfast.
Once away from the house Jud
hurried to the little pen. The sheep
hobbled over to his side. He slipped
one arm around Pete’s neck and his
mind went back to the day he had
crawled down into the ravine in
search of him. He stood there a
long time while a chain of mem
ories passed over him. Finally he
wiped a tear on his shirt sleeve
and went back inside the house.
“I want the rifle. Pa.” He held
his sturdy little body stiff.
“All right son. It’s up to you.”
His father got to his feet and went
outside. Jud sat down at the table,
swallowing the lump in his throat.
His mother filled his plate with
pancakes. He didn’t even know they
were there. Through the screen
door he could hear his sheep being
loaded into the battered old truck.
A rifle was better anyway. When
his father tooted the horn he got
up solemn faced and kissed his
mother.
All the way to town he kept his
eyes away from the back of the
truck. Just as they came to the
slaughter house he could stand it
no longer. “Pa,” he burst out,
"They won’t hurt long, will they?"
“No, son,” his father's eyes
shone kindly, ‘They’ll never know
what happened.”
“All right.” He stared out of the
window while his father sold them.
When the man took them away he
swallowed hard, then shook his
head. His father handed him the
money and they drove off.
"Want me to come in too, son?”
Pa smiled as they came to the
store. Jud shook his head and hur
ried up the rickety steps. Half a,
minute later he came back out
wearing a proud smile.
“Say, Jud, that’s some Iron.” His
father put the box of shells on the
seat between them. “Why, it’s even
better’n mine.”
“It sure is a beaut. Pa.” He
held it upright between his legs all
the way home.
All afternoon they could hear the
crack of the new rifle echoing down
the range. Then toward evening
there was a long period of silence.
When they called him for supper
he pushed open the screen door
and shuffled inside. His sigh was
heavy. Pa looked up with an un
derstanding smile.
"Regret your bargain, son?”
“No," he shook his head, ‘‘but I
miss my lame ’uns.”
"I know, son. Growing up is
tough.”
“Yes, Pa.” He ran his fingers
along the dull barrel He tried hard
not to think about Pete, Blackie
and Joe.
JIVIN’ YOUR JEANS
* * *
There’s an epidemic of blue jeans
parties sweeping through teendom.
Maybe it’s just a reaction to ail this
“new look” dress
ing up that’s been
going on. Even
though the new
name for a jeans
party is a “bums
rush,” you usually
turn up looking
pretty elegant-
even in jeans. Here
are some of the
ways you dress
them up to the
occasion.
SISSY STUFF—One way to fem
inize your jeans is to cut them off,
pedal-pusher length, and edge them
with eyelet ruffling. Ditto around
the neckline of your tuck-in sweat
er. No, Elmer—the farmer’s daugh
ter never looked like this!
CLIPPED ACCENTS—You’U at
tract attention (and imitation, too)
if you roll up your jeans and hold
them in place with clip clothes pins.
As a formal touch, paint your
clothes pins with red polish and,
while it’s still moist, sprinkle some
sequins on them.
WASP WAISTED — That’s how
you’ll look if you bind your ombre
silk scarf, cummerbund fashion
around your .waistline at the next
jeans jamboree. A matching scarf
tied around your head please, with
long ends hanging gypsy style at
one side. Now, all you need is a
golden earring—or, maybe, Ray Mil-
land.
GOLD PLATED—For a really new
look, gild your jeans with a gold kid
belt; wrap fake gold chains around
your neck and dive for the oyster
in gold kid ballets or sandals. A coat
of gilt paint will transform last
year’s black ballets, in case you’ve
squandered your allowance on malt-
eds and bubble gum.
Try out any of these tricks at the
next bums’ rush and the only thing
blue about your jeans will be the
color—see?
Soil 'Bank Account*
Determines Returns
Check Up on Solvency
To Assure Prosperity
Check up on your soil tertility
"bank account.” It’s more important
to you than the number of dollars
you have in your commercial ac
count
Your present and future prosper
ity depends on your soil's crop pro
ducing ability. Crop producing abil
ity, in turn, depends on the size of
your soil fertility bank account—
how you match deposits and with
drawals.
Every crop you sell carries with
it nitrogen, phosphate, potash and
other plant nutrients. Unless you
balance these withdrawals with
good management "deposits” that
replace nutrients, rebuild organic
matter and repair damaged soil
structure, your soil bank account
will be overdrawn.
Among steps recommended for
keeping your soil bank solvent are:
Use deep-rooted legumes regularly
in the rotation. Apply lime on the
basis of soil tests. Use commercial
fertilizer containing phosphate and
potash as needed. Return manure,
corn stalks, straw and other crop
aftermath to the soiL Use contour
cultivation and other conservation
methods where necessary.
Just as you will get a notice if
your checking account is overdrawn,
lower per acre yield and higher per
bushel costs will notify you if your
soil bank account is being over
drawn.
Farm Bulldozer Blade
This bulldozer blade can be at
tached or removed from a tractor
In three minutes. The blade was
salvaged from an old road scraper
and the pushers are old 1.1/2
inch galvanized irrigation pipe.
The U-clips which attach the
pushers to the tractor are 1.1/4
or 1/2 inch flat iron which was
bent into shape and welded to the
pusher pipes. Braces for the
frame are 1.1/4 inch pipe.
Hampshire Sow Sets
New Production Mark
Ringold Lady Dora, 753,056, with
the litter with which she established
a new production record for the
Hampshire breed. This sow is the
first to have made a "Six Star” rec
ord in the Hampshire registry. She
is five years old and has raised 75
pigs in eight litters. In her six star
litters she has raised 62 pigs, an
average of 10.3. These pigs weighed
a total of 418 pounds, 56 days after
farrowing. She is owned by William
C. Goodheart Jr., Eaton, Ohio. She
was fed corn, oats, alfalfa and pel
letized milk by-products prior to
farrowing. Her pigs were raised on
a ration of seven parts corn and
three parts oats with 8 per cent
milk by-products added.
Tests Disclose Silage
Increases Hay Tonnage
Tests of haymaking methods show
that considerably more tonnage of
feed will be obtained from a mead
ow crop when it is put in a silo
than can be procured by any other
method of storing.
Analysis of field cured and mow
cured hay and of grass silage
show a larger percentage of protein
in grass than in similar forage cured
either in the field or in the mow.

At the Word of Command
Lesson for August 29, 1948
D O PEOPLE always do what
they know is right? You would
think so; but they don’t. It Is
strange how many excuses people
can think up to get
out of doing what
they know in their
hearts they ought to
do.
But not this man
Ananias. He was a
shining exception.
There are three An-
aniases in the New
Testament, and this
one makes up for
the other two. One of the others
was a rascally priest and one was
a famous liar; but this Ananias,
another of the “unheralded” charac
ters from the Bible, is famed for
going when God said, “Go.”• We
know nothing much else about
him, but this is enough.
• • •
No Wonder He Hesitated
I T WAS just after the conversion
of Saul. At the time of our story,
nobody had ever heard of Paul,
only of Saul as he was then called;
and nobody heard anything good.
He was a bitter, ruthless man. He
had no use for Christians. Exter
mination was his only answer to
the Christian challenge. The name
of Saul brought terror.
On this day of our story Saul had
been only three days a Christian.
He had had nothing to eat all that
time, and he was said to be blind.
You may be sure that Christians
stayed away from him. .His Jeru
salem cronies had no doubt given
him up as crazy; but no Christian
would go near hitn either. At this
point our Ananias had a vision;
The Lord told him to go to Saul and
lay his hands on him in help and
blessing. Naturally Ananias held
back. This was a dangerous man,
said he. But again the Lord in the
vision said, “Go,” and Ananias
went.
Suppose Ananias had said “No”?
That might have changed the whole
course of Christian history. How?
He could have thought of many an
excuse. “Aren’t there other men
who can baptize Saul as well as I
can? . . . This whole vision may be
only a mistake . . And so forth.
But not when it became clear to
him that this was God’s will,
Ananias went, though he still did
not like it.
How i» it with you? When
you know what you ought to do,
what is the first thing you think
of? How to do it, or how to get
out of doing it?
• • •
Taking Orders From God
OW CAN we tell when it is
really God who commands us?
Most Christians today are suspi
cious of visions, and well we may
be. Too many crazy things have been
done by people who saw “visions”
for us to trust such experiences
very far.
One way in which God’s or
ders come to us is in the Word
of God, particularly in the
words of Christ. For example,
take one of the hardest things
Jesus ever said: “LOVE YOUR
ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR
THOSE WHO PERSECUTE
YOU.” That sounds- tough. It
is tough. But it is a command.
Yet don’t most of us leave that
command in the closed Bible
and act as if the words had
never been said?
That brings up another question.
Is it likely that Ananias became
fond of Saul all at once? Hardly.
Ananias could not have liked the
man; there was then nothing about
him to like. We know from Paul’s
own words that people generally
were not attracted by his looks. Yet
Ananias, who could not have liked
Saul, much less been fond of him,
went and called him “Brother” and
gave him his start in the Christian
life.
• * •
Do You Know a Saul?
N OT FAR from where you are
sitting at this moment there
may be someone like Saul. He is
a Christian, but a new and (so far)
poor one, maybe. Someone nobody
believes in, someone you scarcely
know. It may be a child out of
some low-grade home; it may be
an ex-drunkard (not so long over
it) or an ex-convict even; perhaps
someone who has actually done you
a wrong.
But this person may be just where
Saul was, needing a friend. God
rnay already have touched his
heart, all he needs now is the hu
man touch of a Christian friend.
Maybe you can’t love him, can’t
even like him; but if he is a human
soul God loves him. If you can
help him, then you are his An
anias. You know what you ought to
do. Will you do it?

Grapes in the Sun
Grace Noll Crowell
"The sun, which has all those planets Devolving
around it and dependent upon it, can ripen a cluster
of grapes as if it had nothing else in the world to
do.” —Galileo
^HIS purple cluster at my fingertips.
Sweet with the essence of the sun and rain,
Holds all its honeyed nectar for my lips.
Holds all of life within its crimson stain.
The sun's long concentration brought to bear
Upon the rippling vine, the ripening fruit.
Is evidence of the great miraculous care
Back of the sod, and deep within the root.
So 1 today in this strange wilderness.
This baffling, bewildering earthly hour,
Cling staunchly to the faith that God will bless
The humblest child who seeks the central power
That is his love, and, facing toward the sun.
Wait for fulfilment as this fruit has done.

More Money Spent
During 1948
Americans during 1948 are buy
ing houses and automobiles faster
than they can be produced and In
debtedness is Increasing, according
to the Federal Reserve Board’s
1948 survey of consumer finances.
Fewer folk are saving In 1948
than the year previous. Some 3 mil
lion consumers who had savings
bonds in 1947 didn’t have them the
first of 1948. Consumers are doing
more of their paying on a credit
basis than a year ago. Because buy
ing has increased, they’re using
more of their savings than before.
It Is expected that about one-
fourth of the consumers will spend
beyond their income in 1948 as they
did in 1947.
