SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR HOME
PAPER
Every member of the Texas Farm
Bureau Cotton Association in every
county of the state should subscribe
for his home newspaper. We have
said this so often that it would hardly
seem necessary to say it again, but
the Association members owe a debt
of gratitude to the rural press that can
hest be paid by subscribing and paying
for the home newspaper.
Thousands of dollars worth of space
were given freely by these papers to
the movement during the early stages
of organization and since then these
same rural newspapers and the city
fellows, too, for that matter, have giv-
en §pace and prominence to Cotton
Co-operative news. These editors are
our friends and have shown their
friendship in a substantial way. We
can manifest our appreciation of what
they have done for us by subscribing
and paying for their newspapers and

byterian church Tuesday afternoon

was a bowl of beautiful nasturtiums.

bors?”—Mrs. R. E. L. George.
“How do neighbors affect one an-
other?”—Mrs. McCracken.
As the dainty refreshments, also in
pink and white, of ice cream and angel
food cake were being served, an ap-
propriate toast was given to the
grandmothers by Mrs. Dan Martin, af-
ter which a beautiful bouquet of roses
was presented to the oldest grand-

“You don't look very much amused

say. "You ready look- terribly an
noyed. You don't like it because i
went out wit h Tom. Please" be non
est and tell me.”
•’T didn’t say l didn't like it,” said
Aunt Georgie. “Please don't m»>
quote me. But it is really funny—”
“You mean because of the feud be-
tween our families?”
“How you follow me up,’’'complained
Georgie. “And how absurd to speak
of a ‘feud.’ I am sure I bear the-Les-
ters no animosity. We’ve lived acro»
the road from them for years—
“But, Aunt Georgie,” persisted Con-
stance, "you never exchange calls.”
Aunt Georgie smiled loftily. She
went on playing solitaire. But Con ,
stance was in a singularly trying mood
“And I didn’t ask Tom Lester to come
in . just now because I know you
wouldn't like it.”
“Don't say I wouldn’t like it,” said
Aunt Georgie aggrievedty. “Mr. Les-
ter probably . wouldn’t come in if
you asked him. I dare say he’s a
perfectly proper sort of young man—
only you must admit it’s amusing.”
“You mean my going out with
Torn?” flared Constance. “Personally
I don’t see where the joke comes in.
I know what you mean,-. AuntgGedrgie.
Y’ou mean that the neighbors who see
Tom and me together will have some-
thing to smile about. It’s a tradition
in tiiis community that you and Mrs.
Lester only bow to each other. It's
understood" at luncheons that you and
she should be seated as far apart as
possible. No one ever asks you n.
come for a cup of tea together. Some-
how I think, Aunt Georgie. that you’ve
rather enjoyed it—not being, fond of
the Lesters. Most people break their
necks to be friends with the Lesters,
and you barely nod to them. That
makes you appear terribly superior—"
“Constance Manning!” gasped
Georgie. “How you talk!”’
■*?
“Tom said bis mother said that when
we first came here she and mother
used to see a lot of each other. He
said that his mother said ftiat you
and she used to pal around quite a
bit—” •
"Mr, Thomas Lester must have a
great deal to talk about if he finds
time to gossip about his mother and
your aunt.”
•‘It’s quite important to us," Con-
stance explained. “We’re good friends
—Tom and I. Our families are not.
But so fhr as we can see we ought to
be very neighborly and congenial with
lots of tastes in common. So Turn
asked his mother why his family and
ours were .on the outs and she though;
and thought for a long time, and
finally she said, ‘blessed if I know.'"
Georgie gave a momentary start.
Then she recovered her superior smile
and laid the cards out for solitaire
without seeing them.
“We won't talk any mere about it.
Constance.” she said.
Constance bad no intention of letting
the matter drop. Perhaps there was
some deep reason for the feeling be-
tween the families. Perhaps—
Constance was musing thus as she
tried to get to sleep in her little neon
that night. It was not her fault find
she heard her aunt creep softly to be*
mother's room. It was not her fault ';!
she heard two women as they talked
