One small grievance led to an- other, and the mules started to kick each other furtively, They chafed at the bit, they viewed each other with a speculative eye, and they came to the conclusion that the harness partner was not doing his share of the work. Relations be- came more and more strained. Came a day when each mule said to himself, “Joe is soldiering on the job. Let Joe see how well he can get along without my help. Me, I'm overdue for a vacation. I'm going to get a long drink from the trough and have myself a roll on the grass in the shade of the elm.” Both mules started simultaneous- ly for the trough and for the shade of the elm. The farmer scratched his head. He rounded up the reluctant mules and hitched them in double har- ness. In less than no time there was no harness. In three seconds more there was no wagon. The mules returned to the shade of the elm. The farmer pulled an old en- velope out of his pocket, chewed a pencil stub reflectively, and did a little figuring. At the end of this arithmetical interlude he put the pencil and the envelope back in his pocket, changed into his town clothes, and started for the city. ‘When he returned somewhat later in the day he was driving the latest thing in ‘bright tractors. It was a tractor that was guranteed to take in gas and oil and give out work. Properly steered, it could plow as neat a furrow as ever the two mules turned out, and it hatched no schemes for letting Joe do it. The mules viewed with alarm, They had considered themselves in- dispensable in the scheme of things. They sidled guiltily up to the farm- er, and announced that they were now ready ito be good boys. The farmer hauled the crumpled envelope out of his pocket. Tractors cost a lot of money. The figuring on the envelope had taken into ac- count what a pair of nice plump mules might be expected to bring on the open market. The mules looked wistfully at the snug red barn, the brimming water trough, the shady elm. Things would never be the same again, but each mule had won his point. He was mo longer helping Jo turn out the work.

Husted, 84, will be held from the Woolbert Funeral Home in Shaver- town this afternoon at 2:30, Mr. Husted, a retired farmer, had been in failing health for almost two years and died early Wednesday morning at his home, Main street, Shavertown, following three weeks’ illness. He was born in Dallas Township October 20, 1861, and was the son of William and Amy Husted. He farmed at West Dallas until 1924 when he sold his farm to the late Erich Schultz. The farm is now owned by William Stoeckert. He purchased a lot from Olin Shaver on Main Street Shavertown, and erected a building which is now Hall's Drug Store. He later bought the old Ferguson estate and re- modeled the dwelling in which he lived the rest of his life. Although he carried on general farming, he made a specialty of his orchard, and after moving to Shav- ertown he pruned the orchards of the Conyngham farms. He en- joyed gardening and kept a vege- table and fruit garden on Orchard Street, spending his spare time there. He was especially fond of chil- dren and a deeply religious man. He was a member of Idetown Meth- odist ‘Church, but had attended Fernbrook Primitive Methodist Church until ill health prevented him. On September 10, he and his wife, the former Mary Starmer of Dallas, celebrated their sixty-first wedding anniversary. Besides his widow, he is survived by two children, Harry and Mrs. Myrtle Alling, both at home; six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Officiating clergyman will be Rev. S. R. Nichols, former pastor of Fernbrook Primitive Methodist Church and interment will be in cluded with the single man’s wage. Fern Knoll Burial Park, Dallas.
