Received such a nice letter from
Tom Henry Miller this week even
though we just live a few blocks
apart. He is so happy answering
all the mall that he received after
we wrote the little article. Anyway,
he sends me a list of the towns
that he received letters from; far
away hi New Mexico and nearby
in Clarendon, nlnteen towns in all
Thanks Tom Henry for making me
feel better, and thanks to all you
[lice people for taking time to write
him and make all of us just a little
bit happier. He also sends me a
clipping for my ASRNS scrap book.
Quoting; "I am not much of a
mathematician" said the" Cigarette,
"But I can add to a boy's nervous
troubles, I can subtract from his
physical energy, I can multiply
his aches and pains, I can divide
his mental powers, I can take in-
terest from his work, and discount
his chance for success".

Paul Payne sends me a copy of
Texas Topsoil, with a note made
by the poem written by W. H.
Darrow 011 Johnson Grass. I here-
by use the poem and dedicate it
to that Johnson grass expert, Gov.
Nordyke:
JOHNSON GRASS
By W. H. Darrow
Some years ago it came to pass
a blight guy sowed some Johnson
grass. Great claims were made fer
this hay—"Twould make our Sou-
thern farmin' pay." Today when
neighbors cuss and shout — It's
Johnson grass they rave about. It
seems a shame to so defraine - A
grass that's lived up to its claim,
[it's easy spread and easy sowed -
It's easy grazed and easy mowed;
It's only fault, most folks agree -
Is running on eternally. The praise
this honest grass once got - Has
turned to epithets that's hot. Our
editors to educate, Head columns
up: "Eradicate, . .", It seems to
me quite out of place To damn
a grass that's fell from grace. This
grass sez I. don't mean 110 harm,
It just runs loafers of the farm.
The best of farmers cuss and shout,
But after all they clean it out.
It holds the topsoil in firm embrace
Until a real man gets the place.
A crop of hay as smart as that
Just makes me bow and lift my hat
Thanks. Paul, for thinking about
us. . .
From 'Trail Dust'

Flutes echo in the powdery dawn
and the sound dances on phantom
waves of the wind. A song spills
over the dikes of space as the bud
of day unfurls its petals. There is
a melancholy note but the mock-
ing bird's secret is secure, whether
It sings from happiness or to mask
torrow In • titty heart

Drug store riders of the range
who writes Western fiction and
motion picture script are missing
one of the most obvious trends In
cowboy dress. They have failed to
declare the "6666" crush on Stet-
sons worn by the riding fraternity.
New hats are dampened and the
crown crushed flat until it rides
high above the ears. The effect Ls
often attained only after the hat
has been twisted out of its original-
ly intended shape, carefully reshap-
ed and placed between mattresses
until the new shape is "set". The
style was originated on the 6666
ranch in King county.

Floods of time have washed the
debris of memory into that strange
and surrepitious estuary which
flows through the twilight years. A
once-bright yesterday is half burl-
ed In the salt of a crumbled child-
hood and the rust of forgetfulness
eats at the soft flesh of dream;.
Furance winds stir the cottonwoods
and scattering yellow leaves arc-
sucked to the parched earth be-
yond a lace of shadows. My moth-
er's quick hands tucked the last
spongy disc of biscuit dough in the
black pan and the door has closed
on the big wood range. The dress-
ed chicken rests in a pan of cool
water while she sharpens the knife
on the rim of an empty milk
crock. The hot grease sizzles as
each flour-wrapped piece of fowl
is dropped into it. The bowl of
yellow butter and milk are brought
from the cooler. With the magic
of her skill my mother has all the
food ready in the same instant
Her voice needs call but once; a
lasting memory is born.

Altho I have often envied hand-
some men, I have frequently been
grateful for the easy escape from
complications through the medium
which an over-gracious, and cau-
tious, nature bestowed upon me.

Human socitey warm.". its mo-
tors on the fuel of friendship but
the power for sustained flight is
achieved through practiced courtesy.
Love affairs are like new auto-
mobiles, attractive ttlid extremely
interesting and there Is always a
speculative element regarding the
length of their endurance.
Apples may be kept for several
months in the natural state if they
are in good condition, and if they
are stored properly.
