The Landerfelt Family Stars

was soon gone and he figured that
he had netted only $15.
With no money to buy sugar, he
and Junior -devised a scheme for
making a little ready cash., by
gathering all the pine knots on
Chigger Ridge. What was not long
enough to bunch pine with, they
used to squeeze Ur out of and sold
the Ur to Loggerhead Byars for
7 cents per gallon. Two weeks of
this Ubor netted them exactly as
follows: Bunched pine. 13 bunches
at 1 cent each or 13 cents, and one
quart of tar or nearly 2 cents, mak¬
ing a total of almost 15 cents. This
was not enough for a livelihood and,
rather than for all to commit sui¬
cide. or for one to kill three and
then turn on himself, they decided
to let Old Man Perkin catch each
of them stealing a hog which pre¬

the days of rationing.
At all times, difficulties and dis¬
asters struck the family, most not¬
able and most recent - of which

hogs got in Mr. Landerfelt's whis¬
key. What the hogs did not con¬
sume, they muddled up rather mud-
dily. and nobody but Brother Lan¬

he paid himself 25- a gallon for this
whiskey, he soon discovered (feeble¬
minded as be was) that profits
came slow and hard. His whiskey
