What it is, is a water-spouting fountain - a large one. two smaH ones and two frogs who are also spewing forth water. Although it is not yet finished, the beauty of it is evident. The larger fountain stands about ten feet high, and the water will spill from a jug held by two of those characters usually seen doing this type of thing - a small youthful ap pearing boy with man-life fea tures of head, such as a well developed face with plenty of hair on his head. Water spilling from the jug will then splash on three dish surfaces before flow Uh, i u.i? ...st.ii ?tig imv iiw pwruviwn , wuivn iJ made of stone and will house coksrftri goldfish. The other two fountains and frogs will be spUliilC water ever so gently into other sections of the pool ? one section of which empties into the eight-acre lake which wilt have bass in it. As the eye sees the beauty of the fountain, the mind will be aroused with the simplicity behind its ever-continuing flow of W#ar. ft is doubtful that few of the many visitors who wfll slowly stroH through the JO-acre hlinimar iclanrfLa kmisS^ .me summer ismfiu nji bowk ? ? other evc-oieastJiB, niind*rclftx* ?way. .3 he ?aniens, which shouki ba complete every year . . . .with the average person never know ing it isn't complete. Last year Henrv built the windmill. It added to the beauty of the gardens, and to moat it seemed complete But not to Henry . . . .The fountain had to be added, which he is doing, and hopes to have complete by the blooming season. . .And if it is complete now, only Henry West knows for sure . . .And like a' politician, when you ask him. he will smile and lead you off onty another subject, j I came to know Henry West, not becahse of his gardens but from his country hams. Ttje gardens are an added pleasure. Of all the meats, cured* add fresh, thkt are edible, the old-fashioned country bam to me Is the best.

I maybe it is a carry-over from my youth. When young I lived on a farm, and back then there were few freezers, so meats had to be cured to keep through the summer. In fact, I remember the first freezer for homes I ever sate, and quite fnaUj I didn't believe the stories told about it. hed*been h^* tTa'fret^'&r over a year and claimed they were still edible . .Can yon Nvcn rt person wtifi s u c n ? lofitf ?n... .? _. i _ ?. nose, . .out ifiii mud t hi, ? iani?r-J , her nose, and she was a slender < girl, too.

Pay attention, <JT." . . .We didn't buy a freezer, though. Thinking back over things, probably while I was in the Navy the craving for country ham really seated itself in my mind. Those were the people who were going to take this old country boy and make a man out of him. First thing they did was shave my head. Then they dressed me in clothes three sizes too big and gave me shoes that I could make an about-face in and never move the shoes. The shoes were so big that when I made a sudden turn facing one direction, they were facing another. The hat they gave me I washed in hot J A? -I U 1 w?ici ujriiig w siiniu 11 sv i could see where I was going.
