First Certified Seed Grown by Boy. The first seed potatoes to be certified In Wyoming were grown some three years ago by a Niobrara county farm boy belonging to. one of the hoys’ clubs conducted by the county agricultural extension agent, according to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture. The success of this boy and other Club members, it is felt, has contributed much toward inducing farmers in Niobrara county to under take the growing of certified seed po tatoes, now a profitable phase of farm ing in tills dry-land county. A county certified potato growers’ association lias been organized to aid in handling the product. About 100,000 bushels of Improved potatoes were produced In the county in 1022, some 40,000 bushels of which were certified for seed. CORNS : Stop their pain in one minute !

Here they had \dug In’’ with their little herd of heifers, and Frank* had plowed the valley field foT oats and potatoes, and. with the help of a carpenter, they had built the house of spruce logs where a mountain stream gurgled lullabies In the still nights. At the end of the six years they were on their feet. The fields had ex tended : the herd had grown; the cream cans went down to town three times a week; there was new furniture in the log house and a lilt of song again in the widow’s heart. But one new pang was hers; mother love could not quite stifle the pang when her hand some Frank rode out with the yellow- haired Allison girl from south of the ridge. At the end of that same six years came the war. And now the Widow Stately is doubly a- widow, and the Allison girl Is old before her time. Down the valley a mile or more live the Freedmans. And Freddie Freed man, at fourteen, unhappily runs to mischief, as the sparks fly upward. Was it not Freddie who left the Stately gates open at Halloween? Was It not Freddie who unbolted the reach In the widow’s wagon? Who but Freddie transposed the front and rear wheels of her buckboard? Who but Freddie shot the wild ducks which she was taming, and drank cream in her dairy when she had gone to town? And tonight, ns a blanket of Christ mas snow carpets the foothills and the valley, the widow returns from town with her melancho.ly parcels for Christ mas cheer. Tonight the fire will burn on her hearth, and strange visions will wax and wane In the glow of embers; visions of the First Frank and the Sec ond Frank, and a nightmare of horror Beware of people who know what you will argue on and try to start you.

The fire will die out and Christmas will creep in, wan and cheerless und alone. But as she drives up by the log house she sees a- sturdy young figure nt work In the woodshed, and—can she he dreaming?—the spruce logs at the end of the house have been cat and piled for the winter’s burning. And the sturdy young figure comes out and takes her horses by the head. “Let me put your team away while you go in and warm yourself, Mrs. Stately,\ said a voice. “ See, I have started a fire for you.\ *• So like Frank It seemed that she dared not break the spell. Without ,a word, she sank in the rocker by the fire. - But he was so long in doming that at length she went to the door. The sturdy ugure was Just disappearing down the road -in the gray cloud of night. \Who are you? Who are you?\ she called after him. “ I am the Spirit of Christmas,” be answered. And then she knew h{s voice. “You’re not l” she laughed. “You’re Freddie Freedman l\ • * * . • • • • I Friend Hiu&and had had a busy day at the office and Friend Wife bad moped all day at home. It seemed to Friend Wife that her husband took his office duties alto gether too' complacently. For a time after they were married he always was-home before six; now he tfas fre quently 'late.' And ..he , didn’t seem-* properly., distressed over It. JThat^was what worried her most. So Friend Wife learned to mope a little, and to complain a little, and to wonder a., good deal. And the more: she moped a n d . complained the less did Friend Husband hurry from the'. office. The office had Become his re^ treat • ' Moreover, there was the Party of the 'Third Part Friend Wife had never seen the Party of the Third Part but she could -not doubt her. existence. For a year -back her hus band had forgotten to kiss her when he went to the office, and- when he came home. And on those rare nights when he stayed at home he read the newspaper, and yawned, and found the time heavy on his hands. So you ‘see there must be a Party of the Third' Purt. . . This fear gripped the little woman so deeply that one night she deter mined she would know the worst. Her husbnnd had not come home to dinner; he hud telephoned that he was very busy In tbe office. He would Just slip out and have a bite. And he would likely be late—don’t sit up . . . She would know the truth I So she put on a long cloak, and a veil affair that she could draw over her face, and she went straight to his office In time to intercept him before he. left for his appointment. A light shone through the frosted doors, but all Inside was silent as the tomb. “He has gone already 1\ she ex claimed to herself. Then she gently tried the door. It opened to her hand. Her eyes swept a vista of deserted desks. How forlorn and Irksome they looked 1 But everyone-was gone. Nol There at the 'ehd sat an oldish man. It was her husband! It had never struck her before that her husband was beginning to be an oldish man. He had not heard her. He was intent over a statement with long columns of fig ures. and he,was making calculations on a pad o f paper before him. From where she stood she could see the gray tinge about his temples, and the thinning hair on the top of his head. H1 r brow was set in deep fur rows. And suddenly Friend Wife found herself swallowing desperately at something in her throat Suddenly she knew that there was no Party of the Third Part, and never had been a Party of the Third Part, and that she was a foolish, wicked woman. She drew the door gently shu t. In the basement of the building was a restaurant, where also was a waiter who. for a consideration, would carry a meal to her husband’s office. Quickly she gave the order, for two; it was to be a modest meal, not too expensive, but healthful, and garnished with love. The waiter carried it in and set it down on the little correspondence table beside Friend ’ Husband’s desk. And a beautiful woman sat down beside It, and held out her hands to the troubled man with the long column of figures, and smiled. “Who are you? Who are you?\ he demanded. “I am the Spirit of Christmas,\ she .said. “You are more than that I\ he cried. “You are my wife . . . my . . . my love I\ <©.1921 WwtMn Ncwepntj-r Union.) ° - c — ■ * o THE HOUSE OF CHRISTMAS To an open house In the evening Home shall men come.

No sound of bells awakened her, and when she opened her eyes upon the gifts that had re placed the emptiness of the stocking and the darning ball at its heel she could only account for the kindness of her unknown friend by ejaculating, “Well, well, Santa Claus himself must have been here, but who does he think I amr I wonder?”— C.

Two men attended a village church tea for which the tickets were sixpence each. The profits were to go toward providing n home for the aged poor of the village. Billson, after accounting for ten cups of ten, eight ham sandwiches, three, plates of bread and butter, two teacakes, five Jam tarts and four small buns, was passing his cup for the eleventh time when he turned to Ills companion and said: “ I think every one should encourage n thing of this sort, as it is for a good cause.” Wanted to Be Sure.
