that, in an effort to regain his
health, he decided to "rough it”
—so he bought a covered wagon
and a pair of hories, old Jim and
Joe, both sorrels but quite differ-i

being slow, steady and conserva-
tive; Joe being energetic, eccen-
tric and even fiery—and the four
of us, my father, the horses and

It was in a wagon-yard at Ea-
gle Pass that a copy of the
“Christian Herald" came to hand
and I remember—as though it
were a month ago, instead of
many long years—reading about

out in open country and many a
night we made camp in a wilder-

a human habitation. More than
once there was the howling of a
coyote for a lullaby. Usually, I
held the reins on the long drive*,

those assembly lines are running now with accelerated

The job is far from finished. There is a lot of hard
work ahead; we dare not let up for a moment. But we’re
off to a good start, and we’re going strong. Our enemies
are frightened, for today they know that we’re beating
them in the battle of war production.

So far as British convoys alleg-
