He told her that a nice man had taken his picture and that she could expect a surprise package shortly— the likeness of her man, gear pack ed and ready to go out and meet the challenge of the aggressors. Mildred was happy when she got -his hastily scribbled note. She waited and waited. At length, there came a notice from the post office thaP there was a collect package—labeled “Photos— Do Not Bend”—waiting for her in the main post office.

It meant a lot of potatoes and chuck roast, even at present prices. .But the picture was the im portant thing. So she fished into her purse and paid the man. Mildred opened the packet on the way home. There was not one pic ture, but 21. All of them were group shots. In one fuzzy print she found the blurred image of Russell. There was no sign of her man in the other 20. Mildred Is pretty sore. I don’t blame her. She went to the Better Business Bureau and asked It to investigate. It is. [Ruth Utley.

Each farm employer who pays cash wages should apply for an employer’s num- • ber, using a blank (Form SS-4a> ' l which can be obtained from the county farm agent.

In the next Quarter he must be em ployed by the same farmer on a full-tlms oasis for at least 60 days and his cash wages must amount to SSO or more. Generally speaking, nfter he has served the qualifying quarter, the employee will be covered in each succeeding quarter with the same employer as long as he continues tq work at least 60 days on a full-time basis and earns cash wages of SSO or more.
