Very effective results from a co-oper-

been conducting for some weeks juisl,

postcard, bearing the return ad-
dress of the Sherman Aantlier of

also lieing distributed by tlie travel-

sending representatives out of Sher-

the cards go to only those Interested

only a few, If any, are returned out

remembered that the Georgian was
defeated for hatting honors by the

admitted that Ty Is a pretty good old

the battle will lie viewed with Interest

The following, from Austin, should
interest many Grayson county farms:
“That sweet potatoes are growing in
popularity for table food ptiriioses is
indicated by the numerous inqutrles
received by E. W. Cole, director of
markets, State Department of Agri-
culture. The efforts of the depart
meat toward calling attention of the
public to the high food values of the
sweet potato have resulted in an
awakened demand which the depart
Saent claims has greatly stimulated

Kryeburg Harbor, Me., is a pic
turesuqe settlement on the upper
Saco River, in the midst of a fertile
stretch of “intervale country” Just
outside the foothills of the White
Mountains. The “Harbor” (which Is
anything bnt a heritor, except for the
canoes of the meandering tourists) is
ten miles from the nearest railway
statical, Kryeburg village, on the
mountain division of tlie Maine On
tral. The community Is settled with
sturdy farmer folk, typical New Eng-
land stock, and money is uone too
plentiful. Tlie chief farm products
are jiotatoes, beans and sweet corn.
The choicest sweet corn In all the
world is produced in these strips of
Intervale land, between the White
Mountains and the Atlantic seashore.
Corn canning factories, locally term-
ed “corn shops,” afford day and nlglit
employment during the all too brief
September canning season, when cv
ery evening Jack Frost threatens to
come silently and swiftly down the
vales from Washington and Kenr-
sarge, bllghtly the work of uu entire
year in a single night.
There is a struggling Methodist
Episcopal church at Fryeburg Harbor.
The membership is not large and the
public services are divided with • two
other churches, on the circuit plan, so
common farther west. Howerer, this
remote country church tnude a dis-
tinct contribution to the recent Maine
Conference campaign for n Retired
Ministers’ permanent fund of $200,000.
The standard fixed by the Conference
commission was an amount to he se-
cured from each church not less than
the total mutual ministerial support,
the same, however, to be paid In five
anuuul installments, if the individual
subscribers so desired. The Frye-
burg Church was unable to secure its
total apportionment by direct pledges.
A w'eekly or monthly income Is prac-
tically unknown in many rural com-
munities. The pastor, L. W. Souther,
curne forward with a most Interesting
proposition, suggesting that a certain
number of acres of sweet corn he
planted each year for five years, and
that the entire proceeds l*e devoted
to this fund. The use of the land
was donated by Interested laymen, a
special .committee was appointed by
the.official board to direct the work,
and the corn Is to he planted, culti-
vated and harvested as a community
proposition. Since the canning fac-
tories agree with the farmers by con-
tract upon a certain acreage the Con-
ference Claimants’ ])Cnsion fund inter-
est becomes a jwirt of the community
agreement. v
Tills rather unique plan could be
adapted to meet the requirements of
almost any rural or village church
and would, with cartful attention
more than provide the amonnt needed
tor these unusually large and extra
apportionments. In fact, there is
“All Things come of Thee,
And of Thine own.
We would now
Return to Tliee."

The Sherman Democrat speaks of
Richardson as a “wide place in the

ing match to determine their proficien-
cy. A board one foot square, bearing
a chalk outline of a nose, was nailed
to a tree at a distance of 150 yards.
Those who came nearest the mark
with a single bullet were to be enlist-
ed. The first forty or fifty men who
shot cut the nose entirely out of the
board.

A clover suggestion for a frock of
tub material, made in the long blouse
and skirt effect so fashionable for
grown-ups.
Now that spring is nearly here tub
materials are uppermost in mind for
the development of youthful frocks.
Here is a model consisting of blouse
and skirt, the blouse closing at the
back, if desired. If preferred, how-
ever, the back may be cut on a fold
of material and the blouse slipped on
over the head. Medium size requires
3% yards 36-inch material, with 94
yard lining for underwaist and 2)4
yards lVi-ineh ribbon for the belt
with sash ends.
The blouse is made first, and its
construction is comparatively simple.
Slash through the fold at center-
front from upper edge to single large
!,0” perforation and finish edges for
opening. Gather shoulder edge of
front between double “TT” perfora-
tions. Close under arm and shoulder
seams as notched. Turn hem in back
on small “o” perforations. Line of
edge, then close seam as notched. Sew
sleeve in armhole, notches and small
*o ’ perforations even, easing any
fulness.
No pattern is given for the sash,
hut a straight strip of material max’
be cut to make it, if ribbon is not
used. Arrange around the waist as
illustrated, crossing in back and tie
in front.
To make the underwaist, face at
center-front to the line of double
small “oo” perforations to form
shield. Close under arm and shoul-
der seams as notched. Turn hem in
back at notehes. Large “O” perfor-
ations indicate center-back. Plait
lower edge of front placing “T”lon
corresponding small “o” perforation.
Now take the skirt and close back
seam from large “O” perforation to
lower edge: finish edges above for
closing. Turn hem at lower edge on
small “o” perforations. If desired
gathered; gather entire upper edge.
If desired pdaited; form plaits bring-
ing “T” perforation nearest center-
back to the seamii&nd bring remain-
ing “T” perforations to correspond-
ing small “o” perforations and tack.
Sew to lower edge of underwaist, cen-
ter-fronts and center-backs even.
Trim the front of the blouse with
buttons. If closed In the back a
single row of buttons may be added
there. ,

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. *
Winning Long Life.
A recent Investigation made to
find ..out what class of men live
the longest revealed the fact
that clergymen live longer than
other men. Moncll Sayre, who
made the investigation, attrib-
utes the longevity of clergymen
to tbelr simple life and says that
4» the extra years which the clergy
accumulate are the results of
clean personal lives—lives of sac-
rifice and abstemiousness.
Moderation Is now considered
the salvation of this life. A
splendid rule for attaining lon-
gevity Is summed up by the
United Stales public health serv-
ice In the following curt state-
ments:
“Other things being equal. It
is the man who loads the well
balanced life who lasts the long-
est, whose work to the end Is
uniformly the best; he who nei-
ther overworks nor overplays,
neither overeats, overdrinks nor
oversleeps: he who maintains a
standard of simple, healthy diet
In moderation: who offsets men-
tal work with physical recrea-
tion; who Is as honest with his
own body as lie is with bis owu
business. When success comes
to such a one bis physical amt 'A
mental condition Is such that be 4-
can enjoy In peace of mind and 4*
contentment of body tbe fruits 4;
of his labors.” 41

Little Sammy
Dresser
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
“Well, I like that!” exclaimed Sam
Dresser as he opened and read a let-
ter left by tbe postman on bis morn-
ing round.
The letter referred to was addressed
to Samuel E. Dresser. Sam had no
middle name. It notified him that his
uncle, William Dresser, had died and
left a son, Samuel, six years old. Wil-
liam Dresser had provided in his will
(hat this lioy, having no mother, should
go to live with bis cousin, Samuel E.
Dresser, who was to be his guardian.
In case Mr. Dresser declined tbe
charge, then Miss Amelia Wilkins, a
distant relative, was to take his place.
The writer had no knowledge of Miss
Wilkins except that the testator had
attached to the will her photograph,
with her address written on the back.
This he Inclosed.
Dresser looked at the photograph and
fell in love with It. It may seem sin-
gular that a man should fall in lofe
with a photograph. But why not? This
girl looked at Dresser out of a pair
of honest, merry eyes that seemed to
say to him, “You are my fate, and I
will love you forever.” It is difficult
for some persons while looking at pic-
ture plays to remember that tbe play-
ers are mere photographs. One can
imagine a man falling In love with a
woman on the screen. Is it mucU
more to fall In love with a single pho-
tograph of her?
Anyway. Miss Wilkins in tlie photo-
graph looked at Dresser In a way that
made him long to Meet her. The letter
had evidently been delivered to the
wrong Dresser. Sam concluded that
he would try to find tlie right one
through Miss Wilkins. He wrote her a
uote stating the case as it was, but
tore it up and wrote another In the
name of the orphan, stating that his
father had died and left him to the
care of “Uncle Sam,". <5ut Uilcle Sam
wouldn't have him, so, according to the
will; he was to go to Cousin Amelia.
Back came a reply stating that Un-
cle Sam was a hard hearted wretch
and Samrnle must come to Cousin
Amelia. ‘ She would take care of him
and love him dearly.
All of which means,” sal\l Sam to
himself, "that I will be glad to take
care of her and love her dearly.”
The photograph did not represent a
girl over seventeeen or eighteen, and
Sam wns only nineteen. What did the
scamp do but dress himself up In
knickerbockers and a short coat and,
taking a carriage, drive up to Miss
Wilkins’ house. There he told the
maid who admitted him to tell Cousin
Amelia that he was Sammle Dresser.,.
When Amelia Wilkins came ..down-
stairs to greet her cousin she was
somewhat astonished to see an over-
grown,. hoy who looked too old for his
clothes. Her first thonght was “What
shall I do with him?” She received
him as kindly as possible, then, going
upstairs, consulted an aunt witn whom
she lived, for Amelia, too, was an or-
phau, and the two sat down to the
problem of whether to turn out little
Sam in ie Dresser to the mercies of the
world or take charge of him.
Upon flio advice of her aunt, Amelia
returned to Sammie and told him that
she had supposed him to be a child,
but, seeing that be wns old enough to
take care of himself, she did not think
It would lie proper for her to adopt hint.
Sam replied that he had been thinking
there must be some mistake.
Sam departed, leaving her the letter
which had Induced him to call upon
her. In the course of a week he call-
ed in propria persona. When Miss
Wilkins looked at him she was as
much astonished as she was when he
called on her before.
"You find me changed, don't you?”
said Sam innocently and In his own
natural deep voice. He had used a
falsetto before. "My father kept me
back, treating me as a child. You
made me see bow much behind my age
I was. When I left you I resolved to
be a man.”
Miss Wilkins was so puzzled that for
awhile she did not know what to do
or say. hut Dresser looked se proud of
himself for throwing off the coddling
influences which had kept him back
that she gradually became accustomed
lo the change, and Sam spent a very
happy evening with her.
When Dresser departed ho was cor-
dially Invited to call again. Before do-
ing so he sent a basket of cut flowers
to Miss Wilkins with a note confess-
ing the fact that when her photograph
had fallen into his hands he had been
so bewitched by it that he could not
resist tbe temptation to use the mis-
take that bad been made to make her
acquaintance. He threw himself on
her mercy.
Miss Wilkins was very merciful. In-
deed, she had a keen eye for . the ludi-
crous and was very mirthful over her
admirer’s attempt to personate a small
boy. Sam followed up the flowers with
a call and mi Invitation to dine with
him in the park. Whether it was the
absurdity of Ids act or the course that
led hltn to it is not known, but it.la
quite likely that It was the latter. Sam
was a fine fellow, and n woman Is not
likely to spurn devotion. At any rate,
Miss Wilkins consented to become Sirs.
Dresser.
One day the husband and wife were
strolling in Hie park when a little boy
rolling, a hoop ran against, them.
Among other questions, they asked him
his name/*
“I'm Sammy Dresser,” was Ida reply.
Both Sam and Amelia burst into a
laugh. Not bearing from Sam oi
Amelia, the lawyer who had written
to Sam had adopted tlib boy.

Why are you loser when Electricial
prices are too low?
Forgetting or disregarding OVERHEAD EXPENSE is one of
the reasons for price cutting by inexperienced cnntrarlors. A part
of this expense must ite charged to each job a contractor undertakes.
If this is not done one of two things must happen, either the con-
tractor must skimp (he job either on material or labor, or lose money
ami eventually fail. Needless to say the first expedient will be at-
tempted, lo your loss. See us about your work.
