This, That & ) The Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis I \ r The world really is getting smaller. Twenty years ago when we first went by automobile to Gladvs, Virginia, the distance was | 157 miles. Later, when curves in, roads had been straightened and j new highways built, we only had j 137 miles to go. And last Satur- ' day our son Ferd. after careful j study of a road map. plotted a route that put us at my sister’s door with only 125 miles traveled. And every foot of the road was paved, some of the work being done since I was last up that way. Are farmers around here using the sweet clovers for pasturage and hay? One of my brothers said he had just mowed a field where sweet clover was sowed twenty years ago and is still going strong. There are two kinds that I have seen; one has sprays of yellow bloom and the other has white, both intensely fragrant. It will grow almost waist high (my waist). 1 don't know whether it likes sandy soil as well as clay, but is is truly a wonderful crop for all who have cattle or stock. Has anyone except us been troubled by having what few peaches stood the cold taste bit ter? Our Mayflower tree and two that ripen a little later were so poor in flavor we didn't try to eat them all and were ashamed to offer them to neighbors. Perhaps, if we could have sweetened them heavily, they'd have done pretty well; I don’t know. The ones rip ening now are fairly good; so I believe the first ones ripened too early—they were almost a month ahead of time because of the unseasonal warm days in March. Mayflowers this year were all gone before they should have be gun being eatable. My Sister Annie is one of those persons to whom others speak freely of their trials. She told me of a colored neighbor she had lis tened to a few days ago, when An nie was in the yard and the pass ing neighbor stopped to rest —and talk. Annie was sorry to see her look ing worn and tired and asked if she had been sick. She had not been well, sne said, and was tak ing doctor’s medicine. The spring work added to her ailment made it hard on her; but that was not the worst. Uncle Henry had come from over in Halifax to make them a long visit. And Uncle Henry must never have read Emi ly Post’s chapter on being a charming guest. Instead, nothing suited him and he didn’t mind tell ing his hosts of their failing to make him happy. In a climax of complaint he had declared that they didn't keer nothin’ about him nohow and since they didn’t love him nor want him, they might as well throw him out on the high way for a car to run over. The narrator continued: “And, Miss Annie, I says, ‘Well, Uncle Henry, we is glad for you to be here, if you want to come; and we is glad to divide what we got with you. We'll cook for you and wait on you. But, Uncle Henry, does you want to be out in the road in front of an automobile passing by, you can do that jor yourself.” But at last report Uncle Henry had done nothing about it.
