Two men were driving a beauti-
ful winding roadway through a
rolling wooded country when
rounding a curve they suddenly
came upon a number of cars at a
standstill.
There was no accident, there was
no police officer, but no barrier of
stoutest iron or electrified steel,
no highway's "Road Closed" or
"Bridge Out" could have been
more effective; cars east-bound,
and "westward ho" stand still as
if cement bound to the pavement
for a mother Seganku had chosen
this arterial highway for an
ostentatious promenade of her
progeny.
That mother polecat and a lot
o: little polecats were going
peaces; and in their going, be-
hemoths of gasoline-driven iron
and steel—brothers in creation of
odoriferous atmosphere whose
path she crossed, became as sta-
tures. With glance neither to
right nor left she led her little
family across the highway, while
a score or more of earthly dwell-
ers looked on with awe and ap-
prehension, and marveled at her
boldness,, nerve and determi-
nation.
There "is no doubt but that
many of fier kind had ventured
to cross that road but faltered
after starting and had, therefore,
4een annihilated; others had
looked across the highway
and wished they
were on the other side; others had
peered out at the whizzing auto-
mobiles and turned back with fear
and trembling in their hearts, and
many more were
where they were

Rumely Power Farming
School Draws Crowd
Last Saturday the Busy Town
was crowded with progressive
farmers from many miles around,
attending the Rumely Power
Farming School that was held in
the Follett Garage and Electric
Shop, all day Saturday. The
school was indeed very interest-
ing from the beginning to the end
and the motion picture brought
very favorable comments from all
present as well.as'did the general
talks on power farming. The
motion pictures showed one of the
first methods of harvesting wheat
many years ago and showed the
progress of farm machinery from
year to year to the very latest
methods of Power Farming equip-
ment, according B. R. Hollings-

Throughout the country on
Friday, February 22, the 197th
anniversary of - the birth of
George Washington will be cele-
brated.
It is to the credit of present-day
Americans that their admiration
for and belief in Washington is
unshaken by the empty ravings
of the few modern writers who
set themselves up as self-com-
missioned iconoclasts.
Historians have pictured him
only as a man, but truth and jus-
tice have listed him as one of the
greatest men of all times. His
place in history is so secure that
our modern literary pigmies only
injure themselves with their ad-
verse criticisms.
Weighed in the scales of justice
and intelligence, George Washing-
ton more than measures up to the
standards of a man - a patriotic
and self-sacrificing American, de-
liberate in judgment, wise in
counsel, far-seeing in vision, gift-
ed with the qualities of leadership jwere
that are given to few men.
