From Julia Marker, Inavale,
Nebraska: I remember mother
holding an umbrella over us in
bed when it rained. Our sod house
leaked so badly there Was always
several inches of water on the
floor whenever it rained.
Once we had a wheat bin in one
corner. It was boarded up and the
table was against it. One day
when we w^re eating dinner the
boards busted and the wheat fell
out all over the table and the
dinner too.
There were no sinks to pour
dish water into. One night as
mother was throwing dish water
out into the dark she covered
some ladies coming to visit her
—they were drenched with water.
One time a dog killing a snake
shook it very hard and dropped
it at my feet where the snake
curled up my leg to the knee.
I gave a kick aftd it went sailing
through the/ a(r. The dog, which
had been bitten, died shortly after
ward.

From Charlotte Wilson Hancock,

to satisfy the law. The annual
