The old farmer slid off his Btool and
wiped his mouth with the. back of
one nana. "Hem tastes like it was
maae in a rubber boot.
"If I did," smiled the pretty pro
prietress or the "Coffee Cup," "I'd
lose your business."
"Reckon that's so," muttered the
I farmer as he furtively admired the
, girl's sparkling eyes, soft brown
; hair and trim figure. "Guess I'll take
another cup before I light out"
"I'll take another cup, too," said a
woman tourist who, with her hus

little roadside stand. "It's delicious."
As Mary Burns came back from
the kitchen with the two steaming,

Meantime, two young men In a
shiny new- roadster t Vft leisurely
following the winding road which
led to the "Coffee Pot" One was Don
WUson, former star quarterback of
one- of the .Middle West's greatest
colleges. He was well dressed and
personable and, In a dreamily senti
mental mood, sat listening to the
car radio, which was playing "I'm in
the Mood for Love."
Joe Romero, who was driving, be

snapped it off.
"Haven't you ever been in love.

"Tel! me a, lot
that," she purred.
"Can you stand a shock?" he
asked, as he put his hand in his
pocket and brought it out holding
two railroad, tlckes.
"What are they for?" Her eves
opened wide.
"Railroad tickets to Canada
where we're going to . spend our
honeymoon. Or did I forget to tell
you we are going to be married?"
"Oh Don!" Mary was embar
rassed and confused.
"We're getting married tonight

"But there are so many things a

"Don, you're the craziest man I aver met," she laid. "I guess that's why
I love you so."
"I'll bet It's that football playing
feller you're always talkln' about,"
Willie's voice was wistful.
"That's the teller." She smiled at
him, unable to hide her Joy.
"Looks like 111 have to go over to
the Swede's . . . and ask Hilda," said
Willie after he had ordered a bar
becue sandwich and eaten It in two
bites.
"Now Hilda's a very nice girl,"
teased Mary as she picked up her
hat and turned toward the door.
"She won the milking championship
this year. . . ."
"I know," walled Willie, "but this
Is a dance."
"Sorry 1 can't go," said the girl
as she hurried out "Have an errand
to do. See you later."
"Hello, Steve," she called as she
approached a service station several
hundred yards down the road. "I'm
expecting a visitor some time to
day. . . ."
"Yeh," chuckled the attendant
"An' from the looks of you, it'll be
that young man In the roadster. If I
see him coming I'll hit that tire rim,"
he nodded to one hanging from a
wire close by. "That'll give you time
to ft up a bit"
, and the loveliest and the
most adorable," mimicked Joe. "Say
with all the beautiful dolls on
Broadway, von have to taD for a
hill-billy that lives a hundred miles
from no-place. And what's worse
you even plan to marry her!"
"Yon see, yon know nothing about
love." Don was hurt "Well, anyway,
here we are. Pull in at the gas sta
tion. Fill her up and put in a couple
of new spark pings."
"Where' you be?" asked Joe as
they stopped beside the pump.
"Down at the 'Coffee Cup.' I won't
be long. Walt for me and keep an
eye on that suitcase in the rumble
seat"
Mary was waiting in the dusk out
side of her sandwich shop when
she saw Don approaching, for Steve,
the station attendant had struck the
rim, somewhat to Joe's surprise and
annoyance.
The girl flew into her lover's arms
and snuggled there contentedly.
"Miss me?" he asked at last
"Urn-hum." She kissed him tend
erly. "It's been a long time. A lifetime,"
he said soberly. "But coming back

that she ought
to have more
time for such a
serious step.
"And what
about the 'Coffee

"I'll buy the
things for you,"
he laughed gaily.
"And give the
stand to Kate.
Now get on your
things and come
along.-The car's

station."
"But . . ."
"Do you trust
me?" Don folded
her tightly In his
arms and kissed
her with each
question. "Do
yon love me?"
Do yon believe I
love yon? Then

"Don, you're the craziest man I

"Yon darling!"
He started to kiss her again, but
.at that moment Joe Romero's voice
reached them from the direction of
the filling station.
"Don! Don!" the Italian was
shouting as he ran down the path.
Wilson forgot Mary In an instant
The romantic lover suddenly be
came like a rattler, waiting to strike.
He sprang forward, every muscle
tense. The girl stared, bewildered
at the change.
"Don! Don!" panted Joe as he
dashed up. "They trailed us! I told
you we shouldn't have come here!"
"Shut up!" snapped Wilson as he
jerked open the door of the "Coffee
Pot" and shoved Mary and Joa In
side. "Close the door!"
No sooner were they inside than
a big touring car came tearing up.

tommy guns, and gas guns. Jumped

Queer Malady Throws
Doves Into Tailspin
Knoxvllle, Tenn. An unusual
malady which causes the birds to
"go Into a spin and fall to the
ground" has been afflicting doves
here.
Lee McClaln. nurseryman who
grows seed for doves, said the cause
of the birds' strange behavior had
not been determined and that It is
the first of its kind be has seen.
"A dove will be flying around nor
mally when suddenly it goes into
a spin and falls to the ground dead,"
McClaln said.
He said the bird usually had a
lump In its throat nnd its jaw ap
peared to be locked.
TT isn't necessary to check back
over vital statistics or do any re
search work to know that thousands
of new babies made their debut into
this world durinjr the nast few
months. In fact, a lot of babies were
born yesterday.
How manv oarents have taken
snapshots of their new arrivals? The
chances are that the majority have
been so busy watching the antics of
the little rascals that they have
completely overlooked the fact that
babies have a habit of growing up
and changing right before parents'
fond eyes without their seeing the
change in size, disposition, looks
or actions.
Cute things the baby may do today
may be completely forgotten by him
tomorrow. A snapshot would pre
serve that little baby gesture for
years to come. Of course you want
many so-called "record" pictures of
the youngster but for the most part
make an effort to snap the baby when
he is doing something.
Sooner or later he will discover
that he has toes to play with. Snap
a picture of him when his tiny little
hands have a "strangle hold" on his
chubby foot You will cherish that
picture In years to come.
In a baby's life there is the first
time tor everything. There's his first
smile; the first time he reaches out
his little arms to be taken from his
crib; the first time he pulls himself
up to the side of a chair and then his
first step. By all means don't fall
to get a picture of his first excursion
to his "high chair" to Join the family
for his first meal at the table.
Make it a practice, or better yet
a duty to have your camera loaded
at all times and ready for action. At
least be prepared to make one day
a week a picture taking day and
then watch for that picture making
opportunity.
A picture such as the one above
Is Quite simple to make with the aid
of three Photoflood bulbs providing
you have a camera with an .6.3 or
faster lens.
Place an ordinary floor lamp about
three feet to the hack and to the left
of your subject as shown in diagram 1
above. Floor lamp "B" should be
placed as shown in the diaeram
about five feet away with both shades
tilted upward so as to throw the
light directly on your subject You
should have two Photoflood bulbs in
lamp "A" and in lamp "B."
Set the diaphragm at f.6.3 and
shutter speed at 125 of a swnnri
Focus the camera properly, turn on
your Photoflood bulbs, snap the pic
ture and there you are.
If you have a box camera or nnn
with a slower lens you can make a
flashlight picture with the aid of a
Photoflash bulb. With a Photoflash
bulb you will need but the one
lamp. Place your camera on a thi
or some solid object and set it for
"time." Within arm's length and at
your side, place a floor lamn with
the shade removed. Remove the home
light bulb and replace with the Pho-
tonash tralb. Now open the shutter
of your camera, switch on the cur-.
rent for the Photoflash bulb, which

You will get a lot of fun out of
taking pictures of your baby and in
years to come these pictures will
prove to be a real treasure chest of

Timely Questions On

Question: What fertilizer should
be used when sowing lespecieza?
Answer: Experiments 3hov lc:;s
than 1,000 pounds increase in hay
yield an acre from the ur,c of ferti'i
zer alone and between 1,000 and
2,000 pounds from lime, v,:th and
without fertilizer. From the e re
sults, it would seem that it would
not pay to use any fertilizer with
this crop except that when the seed
are drilled in, a small amount ol
superphosphate, basic slag or ground
limestone may be mixed with the
seed.
Question: How much feed will it
take to produce a two-pound broiler?
Answer: Under ordinary condi
tions it will take between seven and
seven and one-half pounds of
feed per bird to bring them to the
two-pound weight. This will vary
somewhat according to the vigor and
vitality of the birds in reference to
their ability to utilize feeds. The
managament of the birds during the
fattening period will affect the feed
requirements. An intensive fatten
ing period will also make a differ
ence in the amount of feed necessary.
The figures will, however, bring the
average bird to the two-pound
weight under ordinary farm condi
tions. Question: What is the smallest
