PAGE EIGHT Conservation On the Farm Practically every farm in this count would show a nice profit if the above ex- - pressed idea could be and was carried out with all #ts possibilities. The great farm problems of today are many. Good fences and lots of them go a long toward solving the question of bigger profits. Then why not get in line and buy your fence from home people, who treat you right and ap- preciate your business. Just received a solid car load of American Fence Also a car of pitch pine fence post.

THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA, JUNE 30, 1 A DESPERATE LOVER By JOHN DARLING. ° 00000000000000000000000000 (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa- | per Syndicate.) About once a month, always on a Sunday, Maurice Danby motored from the city down to his brother’s farm for a brief visit. Young Mr. Danby held a position in ‘ a city department. His standing in social life was good, and it was known that he had a fair-sized bank account. So far as friends or relatives knew, he had never been in love, and was not likely to be. Therefore it was a shock to his sister-in-law when he ar- rived one Sunday, and said: “Look here, Sarah, you have got to help me out.” “What is it, Maurice? she asked. “I'm in love.” “You can't be.” “But I am.” “Well, won't the girl have you?"” “I haven't asked her.” “Then go right oft and do it.” “Listen to me, woman. I came down by the old post road this morning, in- stead of the usual way. About three miles above here {8 an old red farm- house.” “Yes, the Granger place.” “There was a girl there.” . 'Yes; Kitty Granger.” “She was leaning on the gate eat- ing an apple. I am almost sure she | smiled at me.” “What idiots young men are!” smiled the relative. “You see a good- looking girl at a farmhouse gate, and ten seconds later you are in love and thinking of marriage.” “I am going to know Kitty Granger. It may not take two days to bring it about, and it may take two weeks.” Monday morning he entered his auto and started away with a wave of his hand. He was bound for the post road and Farmer Granger's. When he saw the old farmer at work in the field by the roadside an idea came to him. He stopped. “Do you want to sell that calf tied in your front yard?”’ he asked. “Yep,” was the reply. “How much?” “Orter be wuth gix dollars.” Not ten feet behind the calf was the veranda, Mr. Danby walked around the veal cutlets three times and then took a seat on the veranda to view him from a new point. He coughed and shuffled his feet, but no one came out. Miss Kitty was heard singing in the house, but she didn’t dppear. After a quarter of an hour had passed away the schemer had to return to the farm- er to say: “I will come back tomorrow and see about it.” MEN’S WASH PANTS 914. ~yust as you will,” was the repl'y. It was with a good deal of chagrin that the young man got into his auto | and drove away. “Then the girl with the apple was not at the gate?” his sister-in-law asked. “]—I was just riding out for pleas- , ure,” he replied. “Oh, I sce. 1 have sort of taken a ity on you, and ::“liir:turé act on. 1 have heard that Miss Kitty was talking of buying a new piano.” “Well?” “If you want some excuse for call- ing at the house to get a closer view of her and have a talk—" “By George, it's the thing! As agent for a piano house in the city, I can call.” Young Danby was so elated with the new scheme that he forgot the old one | He motored boldly up to the house, but as he reached the veranda, Mr. Granger came around the corner from the kitchen and sighted him and sald: “Came back for the calf, en? Well, 1 thought you would. He's worth seven dollars, and I only asked you six.” “] was going to see your daughter about a new piano.” “Oh, the piano can wait. Will you take the calf away with you in the machine? As you are in the veal business, you must know that calves are going up every day. I said six dollars to you, and I'll stand by my word.” He led the calf out to the gate, and Mr, Danby had to follow. He had to do more. He had to help lift the calf into the auto and make him fast and hand over six dollars and drive away. When another day came Mr. Danby was ready—he didn't know for what. He set off without a plan. If he passed the house he might be shouted to to stop and buy hogs or hens, but it might be his luck also to see Miss Kitty at the gate. He had just determined to take his chances when he saw her coming toward him, driving in her pony cart. Speed was reduced to a fair gait, and he held straight for the pony. The girl checked up. She screamed. Straight ahead, and then there was a smash and the pony was down and things were in a glorious tangle. There was some breakage, but nolives lost. “What did you do that for?” asked the girl when things were somewhat straightened out. “Do you believe I did tt on pur- pose?” “I surely do!" “Well, it was that I might get a chance to tell you that I am in love with you!” The wedding day may not have been set yet, but young Mr. Danby has for a long time been eating his Sunday |"* dinner at Farmer Granger's. =~ aVCNDALE SPR decided to give you | ESFFEEFEIFIEIRISIDBEEIDRD B | NG TENNESSEE R R Station Avordale . 0. kuli, If you are looking for a beautiful nook in the large variety of health-giving mineral springs. surroy, est trees, and untold auantities of wilda flowers, cheer, many wild birds. where a cool brceze is always to be gy deep and shady ziens which surround the grounds, ang fort is made for the pleasure and comfort of each ang i then come to Auburndale Springs.
