I was allus smart with a pen. Now, this yer is jest how our my leddy frien' reckons kids needs fixin'. It ain't reasonable to guess everything's down ther'. They're jest sort o' principles which you need to foller. Maybe they'll help you some. Guess if you foller them reg'lations your kids'll sure grow proper." He handed the papers across, and Scipio took them only too willingly.
"Sure," he cried delightedly, slapping his thigh in his exuberance. "That's it. Course. It's all writ in the reg'lations fer raisin' them kids. Gee! you had me beat clear to death. Physic ev'ry Saturday night. Blamed if this ain't Saturday an' t'-morrer's Sunday. An' I tho't you was sufferin' and needed physic.

I'll start right in now on those reg'lations, an' you'll see how proper the kiddies'll grow." He turned and held out his hand to his benefactor.

Seems like they's got special reg'lations for us shanty-boaters." "I'm glad to know about that," Nelia said. "I thought I never knew much about about divorces.
We've built up our business here, and we've built our ranches and we've made our reg'lations and lived up to 'em! We ain't going to be run off our range without knowin' why!" "Just because you've always hogged the public land is no reason why you should always continue to do so," said Plant cheerfully. "Who's the public?
