How unlike the gaiety bf their courtship days! "Twenty years, Rusty, and now when he's needed most he quits." Marty gazed past the ugly structures of naked wood to the wheatcovered vastness of prairie beyond. The sun was beginning to turn its greenness into the golden ripenes? of harvest. Rusty wagged his tail. It was seven years since he'd come, a furry pup, to live with Marty and Ed, and this was the first truce in the battle that had started twenty years ago, when first Marty had stated her plans for a home. "Painted buildings on a priarie farm. What's the matter with 'em the way they are?" Ed scoffed. "You don't hear my cattle wan tin' new barns with paint on 'em, do you, and they seem to manage." "But I'm-not one of your cattle, Ed, and 1 want a decent home with, paint on it, even if they don't," Marty had replied with aggravating sweetness. "If you want to live with them.^go ahead, but I'm having my home the way I want it." "Just i\aturally contrary. ( If $ didn't want you to paint them, you would. You'd think that we were paupers instead of successful iarmers," Marty often repeated in exasperation as one unpainted structure after another was raised to. house Ed's increasing cattle. The dog watched Marty carry the tray into the bedroom, to return with its contents scarcely touched. The sun was sinking in a blaze of golden glory when she returned to the window, tinting even the bare wood of Ed's barns with a pearly beauty. "Wonder what Ed would say it we painted them pink Rusty?"

Agriculture Dept. Warns Of Careless Use of 2,4-D ^ ::- Friendships, neighborllness, «£& *£- curity from damage suits, all may be blasted by careless use of 2, 4-D just as definitely as dandelion and plantain in lawns or mustard weeds in wheat fields can be killed by careful v.ze. This warning from the U. S. department of agriculture applies both in towns and cities and on. farms. It is baaed on experience and reports ot difficulties last season when this "wonder chemical" reused troubles when used without adequate safeguards. In towns, the trouble was most lively to arise when 2,4-D was sprayed on lawns and drifted in even the slightest quantities to the flower beds of neighbors. At least one company is adding 2,4-D to a lawn fertilizer mixture, and the dust from thin can cause trouble. Nearly all the plants commonly grown in vegetable and flower gardens are sensitive to 2,4-D ar.d even a trifling and invisible drift of spray or dust across a property tine Can be the cause of widespread killing of flowers, including many perennials expensive to replace. In farm areas last season there were serious complaints by farmers whose crops were injured. Airplane application of 2,4-D dust to rice fields did an excellent and economical job of weeding, but many cases of serious injury to cotton fields were reported as a result of 2,4-D dust drifting on even mild breezes. Another cause of complaint was injury to alfalfa fields in the vicinity of wheat fields dusted or sprayed for weed control. Mustard Family Mustard family provides several varieties of greens. One known as Tendergreen will produce edible leaves in 21 days from sowing, and if the roots are left undisturbed will produce ei$ht or nine crops in the season. • Bsaefleil Tree In Madagascar grows a native palm that has frequently proved a Mfo-eaver to striken travelers.

He was far from being * fop, but he was always appropriately dressed. In France, for instance, he at first wore a «««•»» cap, because he knew the French liked to think , of him as a man out of the, wilderness. When he appeared at the French court after the treaty of aid and friendship between France and the United States, he wore no wig or sword, but simple brown velvet, white hose, his hair hanging loose, and a white hat under his arm. "He was much the most conspicuous among the envoys," a spectator said. Women's clothes always interested him and he often wrote in his letters detailed descriptions of what the fine ladles of London and Paris were wearing. He told one of his young woman friends, "As to rouge, the French woihen don't pretend to imitate nature in laying it on.
