Then she said she didn't believe it would be legal for Virginia Vandemark to finish a contract signed by Virginia Royall and pretty soon I realized that she was making fun of me, and I hugged her and kissed her until she begged my pardon. And all the time the storm raged.
So when I was put on the independent ticket to turn this ring out of office, Dick went after me as if I had been a horse-thief, and made a great to-do about what he called "Cow Vandemark's criminal record." Now that I have a chance to put the matter before the world in print, I shall take advantage of it; for that "criminal record" is a part of this history of Vandemark Township.
Yet, it was the directing fact of that turning-point not only in my own life, but in the lives of many others of the life of Vandemark Township, of Monterey County, and of the State of Iowa, to some extent. The excuse for it lies, as I have said, in the way I am organized; in the bovine dumbness of my life, bursting forth in a few crises in storms of the deepest bodily and spiritual tempest.
What remains to be told here is a short horse and soon curried. Vandemark Township was set off as a separate township within six weeks of the day we crawled out of the strawstack and on that day we had been married a month, and Virginia was boarding with me as she predicted.
Their English dialect was so broad that I could not understand it; and I abandoned to Ace the company of their little girl who was one of a family of five father, mother, and two boys, besides the daughter.

Magnus Thorkelson gave me his hand bashfully. He was then about twenty-five; and had on the flat cap and peasant's clothes that he wore on the way over from Norway.
Economically, our cows ought to be made to do a good deal of the work of the farms. I have always believed this; but now a German expert has proved it. I read about it the other day in a bulletin put out by the Agricultural Department; but I proved it in Vandemark Township before the man was born that wrote the bulletin.
And this is Jacob Vandemark." "Where do you live?" asked grandma. "I'm going out to my farm in Monterey County," I said; "and Virginia is is riding with me a while." "We are camping," said Virginia, smiling, "down by the river. Won't you come to dinner with us?"
There had been no such rig in the county before I had gone to the war. "Is this the Vandemark schoolhouse?" came from the man in the cutter. "No, Captain," said I; for discipline is strong, "this is my farm." "Ah, it's you, Mr. Vandemark, is it?" said he. "Can you tell me the way to the schoolhouse?" Discipline flew off into the storm.
