But if they get | too much, they become parched and die, Where there's noth-| ing but sunshine, you find a desert. | We grumble at the rain and its clouds, but without it we} would soon be living in a desert, without trees, grass, water or! erops, And then we, too, would dic. | Wise nature works by the Law of Contrasts — action and reaction, Sunshine and rain alternate. goes on forever, The change of seasons | Otherwise, there’d be no growth, no life. | This applies to our personal lives, which are inexorably gov-| erned by natural laws. | We get an “off day” or a ‘*run of bad Iuek.’? That corre- | sponds to rains and clouds. Our sky is over All looks gloomy, hopeless. | At such times, if we'd only pause to think, we'd realize | that the clouds eventually will clear and the sun beam down out of a bright sky. We crave continual happiness. But it’s a good thing we don't have it. For constant happiness would soon become | monotonous, we'd not be able to appreciate it, because we'd) not have any contract for comparison, | Perf health would not bring real joy unless you had al sickness or pain to look b to and say: ‘Gosh, but I feel great today, compared with when | had a headache or the flu.?’| The psychology of lovers’ bliss at ‘‘making up’? after a| quarrel is all a matter of this Law of Contrasts, | We cannot appreciate and enjoy prosperity unless we have | hard times for comparison.

If business men and the rest of us keep our heads, this pre- diction can come true—prosperity continue evenly. A break, resulting in depression, is not probable unless we stampede in! nervousness or inflate excessively (as we're now doing.) INDIGESTION Nervous dyspepsia, especially sour-stomach indigestion, is becoming common, doctors say. It’s a result of the high nerv- ous tension under which we live. > A specialist tells us that nervous dyspepsia is commonest among brain workers. They cat, then start working their minds, rushing to the brain the blood needed to digest food. If a brain worker, eat light breakfasts and lunches, heavy meal > at night.

They mean, we are buying from other countries almost as much as we are selling them. This doesn’t leave much surplus to keep gold flowing our way. | And it’s a good thing, this restoration of balance. A nation | in foreign trade is like a crossroads storekeeper—bad policy to! sell, indefinitely, more than is paid back.: The ideal condition | , is perfect balance, exports and imports equaling but never ex-! ceeding each other. . rae 63 ce acerneaigecesatnensnnapetnnre Anco CARUSO N Inside facts about Caruso reveal that his royalties from phonograph records alone amounted to two million dollars. writers and publishers are opposed to having their wares broad- _ east by radio, which they claim has cut heavily into their sales and profits. | ie - ’ Pierre Key’s new book: about Caruso says he kept his own set of books ‘‘on himself,’”’ even entering tips and the smallest > itures. - He never played the stock market.

So Tatters lightly up the steps, Nancy and N when Mister sprang followed. They were on their way to Farmer Brown's cornfield tayofix up Mr. Scare Crow for the urdingr. Right after the Twit came Rag Tag and Bob Tail, two other Rag: who were to keep watch “while they worked so that no one should sur- prise and stop them. They went single file over the fence and across Bright Meadow and up the hill and through Old Orchard, and bye ‘n’ bye came to the corn- field. “1 should he does need a new spring suit,” and he pointed to a limp looking object in the middle of the field. “Now then, Rag Tag and Bob Tail, you stay here and watch, and rest ef us will get to work.” Then Mister Tattcrs tiptoed to the wood-shed, Nancy and Nick still close at his heels. There stood an old broom handle . Brown used to, beat car- pets. “Bring that, Nick,” command- | ed Mr. Tatters. Next they tiptoeq to the buggy- shed, “Look!” pointed Mister Tat- ters. “There’s an o!d coat Farmer Brown puts -on- when he rides to town.” We'll take it, too. Now to the barn for some straw.

There was a perfectly good reason |for this protracted separation of father and daughter; since Old Tom was no longer on pay, it took all he could rake and scrape to meet her bills, and railroad fares are high. Tom carried on a nominal fire. surance business, but as a matter of fact the tiny two-roomed frame structure that bore his painted sign was nothing more or less than a loafing place for his and his rheuma- tic friends.

IV In Ranger Town A year before this story opens the town of Ranger, Texas, consist- ed of a weatherbeaten, run-down railroad station, a blacksmith shop, and a hitching rail, town enough, incidentally, for the limited number of people and the scanty amount of merchandise that passed through. The few farmg and ranches round about were scdttered widely, and life thereon was a grim struggle against heartbreak, by reason of the gaunt) gray, ever-present specter of th drought, ‘ Geologists had claimed far, some time that there must be coal in these north Texas counties, a contention perhaps based upon a comfortable belief in the law of compensation, f !
