A few weeks ago Henry Hobart gave notice he had some potatoes for sale and in a few days he had sold all he had to spar* .Yet nearly every day he gets call for potatoes. Mrs. H. Allen and daughter, Miss Dora, and son, Harry, and wife and little daughter, Norma, from south of Woodstock were Sunday callers in the Hobart home. Two brothers, whose names we do \ not have, rented the farm known as the Ben Bfown farm near the C. B. Durkee farm. They commenced farming there last spring and had a dairy of cows and delivered milk to Borden factory at McHenry. They have sbld the cows and are now bottling spring water to be shipped to Chicago. Another Chicago man recently purchased the farm. Mr. Daljice is now somewhat improved in health. He is now able to ride out on short drives. The people in this section are very much pleased to have the same man deliver mail on Route 5 from Woodstock. The work has always been done satisfactorily. The routes have all been changed for some time through Qstead.

Overton & Cswen Buick Dealers West Mrll--ry (© by D. J. 'Walsh.) AN of beans. Miss?" The apple-cheeked grocery clerk asked the question with a note of assurance that Indicated a good deal of familarit.v with the habits of his customers nnd with those of the slim blue-eyed girl Jn the blue suit that had been pressed and repressed until the threadbare* material shone with a determined slilnlness that fairly proclaimed its out: lived usefulness. As he spoke, the clerk reached up on the shelf. and taking down a can of beans wrapped it decorously In white paper and set it on the counter. Mabel Sherlll wondered what h» would do If she ordered something besides beans. But with the same automatic observance of custom she took out her small flat pocketbook and paid for the beans. Then with the can in her hand she left the store. She was seething with rebellion, as she trudged along the pavement. "Beans ar, nourishing! Beans are economical." argued a stern votce mentally. "Beans are--Oh. be quiet!" she suddenly exclaimed aloud, heedless of the astonished stare of a men In a green hat who paused and gated after her. **I •hate bonns. I never want to eat another btan In my life. I've lived on beans and hr«»ad and bread and beans' for the last six months, and I suppose I'll have to live on them for an Indefinite period." It was the very indefinlteness of that "period" that troubled the girl. She had come to the city with such high hopes c" success. She had a little money and it had looked like such a large aniount to her. It would "have been quite a large amount In the little town she came from. Here It had melted like April snow under a. warm spring sun. There was nothing left of it. And the few commissions she wa. beginning to receive for the new drawings she had managed to sell melted, too. ' "Money never burns any one's pocket here." she went op still talking aloud regardless of the astonished stares of the people she met. "It doesn't get a chance to burn because It doesn't stay in one's pocket long enough. Three little, orders for drawings to Illustrate some men's clothing ads this week. That's all. And maybe I won't get any more orders for a month. I' I were a story girl I'd Jusf go home and marry the boy back there and live happy ever after. But there Isn't any boy back there. There --there Isn't anybody." A sudden mist of tears dimmed the girl's blue eyes. The dimness prevented her from seeing the imperative wave of the traffic officer to remain on the sidewalk. She stepped off the curbing directly Into the path of a very new, very shining coupe. Uttering a sharp cry of fright, she dodged backward. But the can of beans flew out of her hand. It landed precisely In front of one of the wheels of the new coupe. There was a metallic Jingle and a queer "plop" as the wheel passed over It. "My beans, oh, my beans'!" walled the girl, as she looked at the crushed can. "I am well punished for grumbling. Now I'll eat bread without beans." "Oh, I say, I'm. sorry!" announced the driver of the coupe, as he clambered out of his shining little car and surveyed the wrecked can ana the trickle of beans., lie put his hand iu his pocket *^Let me pay for .them," he urged. • Mabel shook her head. "It was my fault," she told him. "I ought to have been more careful. 'It was very good of you to stop. Most drivers would have laughed and kept on going." The young man smiled, a frank flashing smile that was like suushine. *Tve seen the time in my life when a Can of beans meant considerable, too," he remarked. "I know symptoms. you see, Miss Sherill." Mabel's eyes opened wide. She wondered how he knew her mime. There was something familiar about his laughing countenance.- But the next moment she forgot her surprise. The young man was garbed in the" very latest style of overcoat,' a trim gmcefui garment that fitted him precisely. He wore a hat a little darker Shade of fan and brown gloves. "I wonder--" she began, and stopped, an embarrassed flood of color sweeping up to her bright hair. "You wonder what?" Quizzed the young man ga>1y. "After that--you'll jti£t have to tell iiie" Mabel laughed. "I draw," she told j him, with a twinkle of fun in her eyes. i"and my last assignment happens to be a group of figures for a clothing advertisement. The central figure is to wear an overcoat and hat exactly like those you are wearing." ^ "And you were thinking how much better you could draw from a living figure than from a dummy model," finished the young man. "Let me take you to your home or boarding place and I'll pose for you. I have a little time to spare." "But--but I don't know you," stammered Mabel uncertainly. "Are you sure?" asked the 'young man. He chuckled, as she shook her head. "Well, that's flattering," he commented jokingly. "Don't you re- The girl blushed. "He did introduce trie to a young man," she admitted, "but I was so busy thinking about getting an order 1 didn't remember you." \. "And after I asked for an introduction!" ejaculated Tad Laurenc^- with a gusty sigh. "Alas for my conceit! It's crushed, dead, sluiu entirely." "You have enough left," laughed Mabel. "I believe I will let you "take me to my rooming house. If you don't mind posing in Mrs. Grady's back parlor, I'd like to do® some sketches of you. My sketches have been stiff lately. Bui you certainly are a picture lb that overcoat and hat." "A compliment at last!" said Tad, as he helped her into the little car. "Thank you. I self overcoats and suits for Smith & Young. So' you s^e I'm really a walking ad." In Mrs. Grady's dingy little back parlor Tad posed with his overcoat on and with it ofT, wftii his hat on his he;a<I and with it in his hand. He strutted about like a belligerent fighting cock and he spread himself languidly over the aback of a chair. He assumed every pose he could think of. And at last when he actually had to go lie asked permission to come again. „ "May I?" he pleaded meekly. "You may," said Mabel. I'll-make you a cupful of tea oa the gas jet. And we'll, have bean sandwiches. Do you like them?" "I love 'em," said Tad fervently. "Beans are my favorite dish." And looking after him as he drove away, Mabel was glad for the first time in her life that there wasn't any boy. "back theip," She laughed suddenly. "Beans never - were my favorite dish," she remarlssd, "but I'm not sure that they won't be." Early American Fight for Liberty of Press The fight for liberty of the press in America was started by the New Knglanil Courant, 1 established by James "Franklin, elder brother of Benjamin, at Boston In 1721. The Courant was from Its starf**an "opposition" news paper, the first In the colonies, accord ing to Dr. W. G. Bleyer of the University of Wisconsin, who discovered th.• only existing tile, so far as known, ot the f\rst sixteen numbers of the papci in the British museum at London. Notations on the margin of the pa pers indicate that the tile was nally the property of Benjamin Fr; lin, who worked for a time as a printer In his brother's shop, and who wa listed as tjjf publisher of the papeafter James had been imprisoned forbidden to publish the Ooiu'an' longer because of attacks on the puritan ruling {towers in Massachusetts The first four issues of tl>£ Courant were largely taken up with the discus slon of inoculation for small]>ox. Inoculation was favored by the Puritan leaders and opposed by certain physicians and leaders of the Church of England faction In Massachusetts. From the point of view of the dewl- " opment of Journalism the Courant Is significant'as the first American paper to question the authority of the church in matters of every-da.v life.
