Arab horses were brought from Africa less than two thou- sand years Ico. They did well in their new home. and when the Saracens started their spree of conquest mounted - they swept all before them. A nation without fleet-footed horses had little chance for victory. Indeed, the horse was important in warfare until recent times, when mechan- ized warfare came into general use. In olden days. poets sang about horses and sculptors made some of the finest sculptures of horses that have even: been known.

Not that he is ever in- clined to loiter there though as a driver he is not given to taking any unnecessary risks. But on oc- casion he pscsses his truck harder than does the younger farmer, his-a similar machine, so that it is a question in the family as to which one will bear better the brunt of the years. "You'll give the turkeys a bite?" we had call- ed back to James as we left the yard. He smiled and replied with a light touch of sarcasm "Cm- talnly Ellen - I always leave you the cattle to feed. when I go away!" Then he added to Rob: "Now don't let your mother de- lain you.. If she's not 'ready to come home when you are. just drive off and leave her!" we sus- pect that this has been a secret desire of James for years on end, which though banished to his sub- conscious. still rears its teasing head. so that since he could nev- er bring himself to realizing it, lmself, being we suppose too kindly of heart though often tempted he sees the fulfillment by way of his son and is curiotis to see how the undertaking should work out. 5 O I 0 Q If one farmer: of our acquain- tance declares that "I nevnr yet came home from town when the wife was along that I didn't have to ride with my feet out of the wagon, since every available inch was taken up by the parcels" James has a notion that the fem- inine portion 11: the family is al- ways the delaying factor in ef- fecting our homing.

We would like your opinion u-pon which mcikcs the happier marr'iag'-'3 People who are virtually the same age or where the man is six to ten years older than the woman. X. Y. Z. GROUP ANSWERR: It is foolish to deny the importance of the ages of the high contracting parties in marriage and yet it is a mailer about which no hard and fast rules can be laid down. So much depends upon the personality of the individual. For instance. it is genPrdll.V conceded that twenty years' difference in age between a husband and wife is too great. yet if the man is youthfu-I in disposition and gay in temperament. and the girl is settled and mature in character there is. in reality. no disparity in age and they may safely marry- Also it is generally agreed that it is better that the man should be older than his wife and that it is risky for a man to marry a wo- man who is more than five years older than himself. Generally speaking. however. men and women have a better chance of happiness in marriage if they choose males who are nrrar their own nges and who have the same tastes. habits and background that they have. The matter. then. of six to ten years doesn't count one way or the other. DEAR MISS DIX: My wife and I have been married for thirty- Lhree years and have got along very ha-ppily until now when a dis- pute h.is arisen between us about where we shall be buried. My wife wants to be buried in her family lot. I wish to be buried five miles away in A beautiful mausoleum. Now, should I forfeit my wishes and be buried by her side in her lol. or would it be all right to be buried separately, each in the spot. we wish? What would people think and say about it? - LEONARD ANSWER: After you are dead I don't think what people say about you will he of much interest to you one way or the other. So I entreaio not to spoil a happy married life by arguing over such a silly matter. Why don't you compromise by taking a gambling chance on the matter and leaving it to the one who survives to select the burial spot?
