It seems that Mr. Bailey’s ballots were either thrown away or were counted for the Robi - sop Iceberg. But as the' Greensboro News says, What are you going to do -about it?

There is gereral complaint against a short age of Bailey workers there must be some 50 000 or 60 000. short The whole Saturday business seems to have an enterprise os shortening the race of Mr. Bailey-and we are pre pared without Solicitor McLendon’s inquiry to believe that many boxes in State had fewer Bailey votes than were intended. But what if McLendon goes out to Brady’s store, Eakes’ of Five Points and finds that a bushel of ballots were withheld from the Raleigh man? Suppose it should appear that a hogshead of McLean votes were rammed into a dozen different pre cinct depositories? What could he do about it? Tbe present election law is not fixed up for the benefit of solicitors prosecuting election thieves but is designed to protect any heeler who can cram _a boxful of ballots and gets away with it. It is equally well written to protect anybody who refuses to put these votes in. Taking out or putting in, the elections law gives full salvation for the election scoundrel. For the election law furnishes no way for an officer to get behind ■ the returns. The Supreme court has made a number of efforts to do it and has failed. It could not help Britt whom the national Congress ssated and it - could not aid Aber- nethy when eyery man in North Carolinaknewthathe was the vie tim of highway robbery. Gb to it, Solicitor McLend.

She declared that at political meetings during the' campaign it should be 50 5 0, and, not 50 men and five women. “Just because Mr. Coolidge is to be nominated so easily, you must not think that his election will come so easy,” Mrs. Wood cau tioned the women. “Every .woman must get out and work.” - Mrs. Elizsbeth P.

Consigns ’Em To Hell. ‘Hell will be crowded with the people who undertook to misrepre sent our great system of taxation,” declares_.Gov. Morrison, which is evidence that, the Governor has suf fered one of the periodical attacks which result in an exposition. We are under the necessity of calling the Governor’s attention to the fact that he has exceeded his authority. He is privileged to believe, as we are sure he does, that certain folks are predestined and foreordained to go to the place of 0 rment; and he may believe that- certain folks will not get their dues until they arrive at that place that is supposed to be very warm. But under no authority, civil or .religious, is the Governor privileged to consign folks to hell, as he has done in the sentence quot ed. While-under the influence of that same spell the, Governor de clared that the taxation system of North Carolina is well-nigh perfect. As-we get the situation tfie Governor is firmly convinced that all who do not agree that the presen tState ad ministration is about perfect and that Cameron Morrison is the great est Governor that ever was should be in hell.- Statesville Daily. ; Wants * |e : Primary Abolished.

Tbg Fitsl American Flag. ago last Friday the hands of a senior lieuteuant on the ship Katy, lying in tie Delaware river, set to the breeze for the first time a flag with alter nate, stripes of red and white. It signified that an American navy had come into commission, with Commo dore Esek Hopkins in command, by act of the Continental Congress. The hand that tugged at the halvardB to the set the cojors flying was that of the executive officer of the ship, John Paul Jones. That was the beginning of the Stars and Stripes, the flag to which more than a hundred millions of Americans now pay homage. The stripes were there but the. stars of the states were still to be set in place. In their stead the blue field of the banner bore the crosses pf St. Andrew and St. George, the twin crosses of Englaud—visual assurance that the men,of the colonies yet clung to their English faith and orgjn and were concerned only with securing that freedom to which they weie entitled as Englishmen dwelling over as. A year and a half later'the Star and Stripes was formerly adopted by Congress. Curiously enough, neither that banner nor its prede cessor was ever carried by troops of the Revolutionary armies. They fought under the flag of their states. It was for the hardy sailormen to carry it around the world and for it 8iternational honors. Sincethese days there have be come intertwined with the folds of the flag memorins of great days ahd heroic deeds dear to the hearts of all Americans. Wiitten in the regulations that govern the army is a complete code of procedure for all occasions where the flag is officially recognized. • You can generally tell whether a man’s married by the price he pays -for candy.

' From Murphy to- Manteo and from Currituck to Che rokee every newspaper, with possible a very few exceptions, recapituiatis the week; end smashss of ^machines on the highways wjtb a const quent loss of limb or life and the average reader asks “Where will it all end?” Enforcement of the law, one may say another will prescribe more extreme penalties for reckless driving, but the long series of accidents like the- proverbial brook goes oh forever.- The problem Is a difficult one. Legislating care into the average automobile driver is akin to legislat ing mprals into mankind. It would appear that those of us who would have the evil corrected mu t go ever deeper into the situation and en- deaver to arouse the individual driv er himself. Public opinion must be 30 crystalized in adhorrence of spei d mania that everv man who jumped behind the wheel o'f any sort , of vehicle must realize a keener sense of his responsibility to himself, to the passengers in his car and to the other occupants of ibe highways, es- p c ally on week-ends when care and ’ responsibility seem to be cast to the winds by the averag< motorists. We have organizations of drivers of automobiles in many motor clubs in many parts of the state. It ap pears to us that. no greater service c mid be performed by these clubs than the inculcation into their mem bership of more sanity with respect to motor operation at all times and upon every occasion..

With this issue The Record com pletes its twenty-fifth year, having first seen the light of day in 1899 . During these 25 years the paper has only changed hands one time. The present editor and owner ar rived in Mocksville from East Ten nessee , seventeen years ago and purchased the paper from Mr. E. H. Morris.' Durirfg all these years we have never missed an issue of the paper and with one exception never came out a day late. The better part of our life has been spent in Mocksville^ and we have tried all these years to do every thing possible for the upbuilding of the town and county. ,We have seen the town grow from a country village without any conveniences to a hustling little town of about 1500 population with good water and sewerage system, eleetric.lig.hts good streets and handsome school buildings, churches, court house, private homes and business houses. The county has made rapid strides along agricultural and dairy lines and has some of as fine farms a: can be found anywhere in the state Our people are honest, progressive and prosperous and are doing every thing they can to make this the best county in the best state in the United States. The Record’s path way has not been strewn with roses, but despite the thorns we have managed to get this far. We shall cominue to do our best to merit the support of the good people of the towir and county. We want to thank all UiosejWho have assisted us in any way since we located here. Our aim will be to continue to do all in our power for the best inter ests of the masses. A fair deal will be given to all regardless of church or party affiliations. No favors will be shown any man or set of men simply because they have a little more money or a little more influence than the other fel low. We shall ‘‘hew to the line, letting the chips fall where they may.” What has become of the county fair? Keep cool, boys, it is over months yet until the election. four The blackberries are ripening up fine but where is the sugar and the crust for the pies? AU of the candidates for the var ious county offices are not going to be nominated or elected either. Some of these days the Mocks ville folks will wake up and stage a celebration here on July 4th. There is an abundant crop of fruit this year, a good crop of wheat and a large crop of politicians. , Davie county .wants and needs a Go Operative tobacco and cotton warehouse. When are we going to get it, is the big question. Less than two weeks until the Republican county convention. The officerseekers are as busy these days rounding up votes as the ooll weevil is in eating the farmers cotton. It is rumored in some. sections that the Democrats in Davie' will not run a mixed^icket this fall— that all nominees will be of the Jeffersonian, Bryan, Wilson brand. This being the case what will be come of some of the Citizens? It seems that the sheriff’s race in Davie county has narrowed down to three men, Hartman', Cope and Miller. No one knows who will get the nomination. AJl of these men have developed a good deal of strength in the various townships and all are making a hard fight for the nomination. The Record hopes the strongest mjjn will be nominated. Hon. Pete Murphy, pf Salisbury one of the leading democrats in North Carolina, in Speaking of McAdoo last week, had the follow ing to say: “It looks ,to me like they’ve got McAdoo licked to a finish. I don’t know who they’ll nominate but most aiiybody else will suit me. I’m glad they licked him, the damned insect.” Now what do Vou know about that? ' We would call the attention of our democratic friends . to the fact that there is-to be another demo cratic primary next Saturday, July 5th. This second primary is to determine who will be Commission er of Labor-and Printing It will cost the State between $25,000 and $40,000 to find out which of the two democrats musf hold . this oneJoffice.

Tucker Reunion, The ,entire family of-Mr.--and Mrs. George T. Tucker gathered for the first time at their home pear Advance, Davie county, on Tuesday' June 17, for a family re union. The occasion was unique in that, although- the youngest member of the family is seven years old, it was the first time that all of tne twelve son’s and, daugh ters had ever been at home at the same' time. Such a reunion had. been planned several times before; but something had always prevent ed some members of the'family from being present. It was very gratifying then to the parents and an impressive tight to the others present to see the whole family seated at the table for dinner. Hap piness too great for words shown on the faces of the parents and their hearts were lifted high in praise and thanksgiving for the blessings of the day. Twelve child ren six sons and six daughters, a live, well and happy some of them already fulfilling the dreams they had dreamed for them, the others growing steadily in mind and body toward the goal set for them. The sons they had given to the .war back in their accustomed places The married daughters with their husbands and children back in the old home once more. -What ac casion could be happier than such a family as this reunited? The table, which seats exanctly fourteen, was loaded with every thing good to eat from barbacued pig to the delicacies that are found only in Ritchens supervised by southern women, and after a few moments of . thanksgiving the ap petite, some of them long denied the satisfaction of mother’s table was given full sway. After dinner the family gathered on -the lawn in front of the house to reminensce of the past and dream and plan for the future until the sun- sinking in a glorious wave of mellow light cast its glow like 'a benedivtion of blessing and hope a- cross the western sky.

Chicago. — A terrlffic hurricAne struck along the south shore of Lake Erie, devastating several towns and cities and taking toll of 350 lives. Buildings, bridges, -and trees were leveled and probably 2,000 persons were injured during the brief but de structive storm. . The wind swept a path nearly 50 miles wide from Sandusky Bay to a point between Lorain and Cleveland. The most extensive damage thus far reported was at Lorain where rows of buildings were blown over and a theater was partly caved in on a Sat urday afternoon audience. .Cleveland.—The northern part of Ohio lay prostrate under the fury of winds of cyclonic violence that swept from Cleveland to Sandusky along the shores of Lake Erie, isolated Sandus ky, Elyria, aQd orain, killing possibly 400 persons, injured another 2,000 and caused property damage of possibly millions. The probable death list is augment ed by the . possibility that lake steam ers may have gone down. Three steam ers out of Sandusky are known to have been caught in the storm, and reports have it that passenger ■ were swCpt overboard from'the recks of one of them—the Reliance. Scenes of the wildest terror and confusion were enacted in the cities as the furious winds blew men and buildings into the lake, blew railroad cars off the tracks and pushed struc tures .oyer. The Elyria fire department, which succeeded In reaching Larainl sent out a frantic appeal for help report ing that several hundreds were in jured when a theater collapsed. Eighty dead have been taken from the State theater in Lorain, the chief of police of Elyria reported. Esti mates of 300 dead and 1,500 injured are not exaggerated, the chief said. The entire Eyria fire and police de partment and ambulance equipment have been sent to Lorain. The only way to reach Loraln from Cleveland is through Elyria and the roads are jammed with refugees head ed away from Lorain and relief par ties on the way there, the chief said. First reports received here from staff correspondents o f The Plain Dealer,, who motored back to the first ,available telephone, east of Lorain, were to the effect that 200 were killed ,in the State theater collapse at Lorain ‘ and that not more than 40 others are ’ dead in other parts of the city. Reports from various other sources places the dead as high as 500. Rain continued to fall in Lorain tor several hours. Confirmation of the collapse of the theater and washout of the Black river bridge at Loram was brought to Cleveland by A. Dow ner) conductor on the Lake Shore electric railway, the first eye-witness of the disaster to reach this city. Many women and children were killed, motorists told him. Practically - every house on Broadway, the main street east and west, was blown-down, Downer reported, ' and automobiles were picked up and overturned on the sidewalks. • Nickle Plate trainmen reported that all the government houses In South Lorain, north of the railroad tracks, had been bdown down.

G. \ UOTTIE CARL SYNOPSIS--In the Iote summer of'1876, Peter Dlnsdale, on his way to the Black hills to Join the throne of gold-seekers,' makes the acquaintance of the. keeper of a Deadwood gambling house, San Juan Joe, who Is returning to Deadwood. On their way through Bed canybn Dlns- dalo and Joe hear shots, apparently far ahead of them. Riding carefully, they meet o young woman running from a party of Indians. Dlnsdale takes her on his horse and the two men ride through her pusuers, killing three. CHAPTER II—Continued._2_ ' For a moment they listened, astound ed. Then Dlnsdale and the gambler were npon them, both hands of each spitting fire. The first flashes of Dins- dale's heavy guns revealed the posi tion of the Indians; then It.was over before the red men had had time to realize it had commenced. With the crashing boom of the big Colts and the murderous bark of the derringers three of the five bucks dropped on the canyon floor and went to talk with the ghosts. Tbe othhr two managed to crawl to one side, bleeding profusely. Fifty rods up the canyon Dlnsdale checked the mad rush of Ids horse. “Those ahead must have heard our guns. They’ll be laying for us,” he warned. From behind them rose the ululat ing cry of a wolf, a signal of discov ery, The cry quavered and abruptly ceased as a wounded warrior reached the maximum of effort "That tells the others the whole- story,, We must be out of this before daylight—and no turning back.' Hi, girl, how* many were there of them?" The girl moaned hysterically and clutched the speaker’s waist more tightly. Dinsdale reached back and pinched her ear, and commanded; "Stop that noise. How many Jumped you?” "They fired from the sky. They killed Belman and his wife. They killed the 'Staeey brothers. Toung Dawley fired back. They dropped from the sky and used clubs. Ob I Oh I Qh I With clubs I' Toung Dawley, A dozen, like pictures of devila Out of the black sky almost into our fire.” "Call it thirteen,” said Dlnsdale to his companion. “Five or six out of It already. Six or seven leftl Not enough for break fast! Load up and get going; Pete,” snarled the gambler. “A moment. I’m loaded. Stop your Koise1 girl, or they’ll have your scalp.” On swept the horses at n_ gallop. They plunged recklessly down a steep grade, and their riders were blind men because of the velvet darkness. Then appeared a slight suggestion of light | ahead, and this jvhen reached became an abrupt turn In the canyon wall. Rtjunding it; they beheld the soiiree of the faint Illuminations—a rosy bed of coals, with flames licking through {he charred embers off two wagons. The ground was strewn with. boxes and bales, and the horses had been butchered I But what constituted a more horrible litter were the mutilated forms within the zone of light The girl had named four dead men and one woman. Her rescuers count ed nine stark figures, which meant the Belman outfit had been wiped out with the exception of one—the- girl. "Watch -Bharp I” yelled San Juan, galloping into the lead with the reins In his teeth and his derringers ready. There . was no sign of the enemy on j, the canyon floor, and the riders de voted tbetr attention to the walls of broken rock now faintly Illumined by the Are Thirty feet up and on the right-hand side something moved and dislodged pebbles. Instantly Dinsdale threw up a gun and began firing. With the third bul let a savage rolled down the uneven slope and sprawled P-Otesquely across n boulder. He wore three feathers of the golden, or war, eagle in.his long, black hair. The red paint along'the median line of the hair was conspicu ous. . . " I Tb count coup Dlnsdale bent low.to one side, and the girl screamed for him not to drag her frbm the horse. He snatched away the feathers, only to drop them as several bullets whis tled about, his head. ' ' San Juan Joe was" firing at the ieft~ hand wail. Rifles bellowed ah answer, filling the canyon with-crashing echoes. A dead warrior, his head smashed by a heavy derringer bullet, buhg over a rock, his hands hhnging down as If he were trying to reach the rifle-Just below him^_ Then In a -few mighty springs the frightened, horses turned a bend in the rohd.and leaped Into the darkness. Dlnsdale felt the girl’s arms relaxing. Replacing his' belt guns, he reached around and caught her just as she began’'to topple Into - the road. He pulled her around In front of hlip and placed a hand over her heart She still lived. After a mile of reckless traveling the men drew rein and listened.- There was no sound of pursuit Then - the gambler said: "It’s near here. Can you hear It? Hunnlng water on the right The spring where the Metz family. was wiped o u t. Five men and twosvi;omen.” .Tlie girl gave a little shiver and be gan to weep. . “She's come to her senses,” Dlns-. dale' announced. “Get some water and perhaps she’ll feel better. Are you hurt, girl? And' what’s your name?” “I ain’t hurt? Wldi I was dead. Tm Lottie Cart” she’ moaned. “ They dropped down out of the sky and be gan shooting. ~ The Stacey boys were mending a broken wheel by the fire.” “Any of your folks with them?” gently asked Dlnsdale) “None of my folks. I ain't got any. But they was good to me. OnlJr friends I had. Then they dropped out of the sky Uke big black birds. They fell almost into our fire. The Staceys and the Belmnns was killed In a Jiffy. Oh I” “Can you ride behind me now?” naked Dlnsdale. “Here In' front. I’m Trald of the dark when I ride behind ytra. I’d. feel them-clawing at me.” , In this fashion they came to the upper end of the canybn and Into the dawn. - , Both Btared curiously at/the one survivor of the massacre. She was slight of, physique, thin of face from horror and probably privations. She looked undernourished, and her coarse gown and man’s boots did hot make for attractiveness. San Juan Joe, how ever, something of an expert In fem- Inln-e appralsala, mentallydeclded - that her large'gray eyes and wealth of chestnut hair would some day trans form her Into a beauty. “How old are you, girl?” he asked. "Seventeen,” she answered, study ing them with great franknesa . Dlnsdale . mumbled; .“Thought you was a mite of - a child, not more than thirteen by the heft of you.” • ■ “I ain’t very hefty,” she admitted. "We was Ohio folks. Now they’re all dead. Wish I was with them!” "That’s no way to talk,” said Dins- dale. “Troubles are all ended. Tell us how yon managed to get away from •them.” Her lips trembled, but this time she fought down the hysteria and managed to explain; “They were so sure of me. I was crazy from It alt They got to danc ing.-' They began hurting the poor, dead bodies. Oh, but that was awful I” She ceased speaking and bit her Ups. Again conquering her weakness, she went on: “It was while they were busy that I started to walk away. I was hoping they’d kUl me quick. Before I knew It I was at the- turn In the road. Beyond that Uie1Iight' dldnlt ghine. I began running.' I guess you know the. rest “I couldn’t run very fast In these,” and she thrust forward a boot “Seems as If they didn’t want to cateh me at first They was hooting and laughing as they come after me. Thatis about alii” “Now I know what Trouble’ the cgrds meant and who bad to cut the deuce,” remarked the gambler-. They took to an old lodge-pole trail and followed It to Pleasant valley. Beside a spring' the men halted and produced bacon, bread and coffee. The gambler started to cook the breakfast, but the girl Insisted on taking charge of the coffee pot and frying pan, and gravely Informed him: “It’s for the woman to get the meals.” San Jutm stepped' back and stared whimsically at Dlnsdale. Like an old housewife, weighted with responsibil ities, the girl fried the bacon and made the coffee, then fried the bread In the bacon fat She had been used to hard work.. After they had eaten and while- she was washing the utensils at the' spring Son Juan murmured: “What’s to be done with her?” ' Dinsdale -frowned and rubbed his Jaw, then.gave It up. “Time enough to decide, that when we get to Deadw-Ood," he said. "Kitty will take care of her,” mused the gambler. “Kitty?" repeated Dlnsdale. , “Friend of.mine. Good friend, too, but it- won't . do to stick here any longer.- *'AYe're too near the canyon. The Injuns may be sneaking round' these pacts. We must be going.” They followed the road toward Cus- ter and frequently pnssed old prospect holes, dug the year- before, and not a few ,deserted cabins. At midday they :rounded a low hill and came In sight, Ofithe. town, the first-to. be. laid out' In the Black hills and. now an excel lent, example of a “bu’sted”-£oom. In .1875, when white men were taboo In the hills, it had been a magic town, with a main' street half a mile long and -crowded 'with, business-houses .and' disreputable resorts. Now Its mer chants and gamblers and its painted women were hunting their profits In Deadwood City. Thereiwere some hun dred and fifty Inhabitants, mostly men,: ? *??? town, with, row after row of dwellings left to. the ravages of squir rels and kindred mischief workers. • San Juan took his companions to a hotel, where, the girl was given a room while/the men- -ordered - dinner. TVhen she ■ rejoined them they, nodded ap^i proval. Although her pale face and thin features made her look all eyes; there* was no Ignoring-her neatly By Hugfc Pendexter QaprtighibyThe Bobba-Uenitt Co. brushed balr, fine as spun silk. She glanced shyly at them and said: “I ain’t thanked you for what you’ve done for me.” “Never mention it," said San Joan, bowing gallantly. “Now we’ll eat” He ushered them into the dining room, pulled out a chair for Lottie Carl and seated her with quite the grand manner. The fare was bountiful, and Lottie Carl found that the tragedy had not killed her appetite. They had finished and the gambler was cutting the end from a cigar when a man rushed into the room and hoarsely cried out: "Wild Bill’s been shot I Done to death from behind by that dirty snake of a Jack McCall! D—n him! If Deadwood City ain’t stretched his .mislmble ^ weasani- before —now -- It- oughter be bu’sted flatter than this town even is.” “But Wild Bill Hlckockl Some one got the drop on Wild Bill?" Incredu- ously gasped Dlnsdale. "Got the drop, h—II" howled the newsbearer. “McCall took grubstakes from him. Made off to be everlasting ly obliged to him Then .stood beMnd him while Bill was playing a few cards and shot him through the back of the head. S'pose that skunk would ’a’ dared make a move. If WUd Bill had had half a* eye on him? An’ at that BUl,.bad a,.gun .jpulled. clear of the holster an’ cocked' 1Wlien they picked him up from the table where he fell, face down.” • San- Juan sorrowfully lamented.’- “Wild BlU was white. Too bad. Too. bad.” - They left the dining room and found that the hotel and town was alive with the news. From the hotel proprietor San Juan bought a roll of.blankets for the girl and some cooked food, and hired q horse. When they struck on the Cordnroy road that led.to Dead-- wood4 City San Juon was keen to make fast time; but the girl, wearied by her terrible; experiences : and • unosed to horseback riding, made haste an Im possibility. Dlnsdale detected his 'com panion’s lmpattenceand suggested that he ride on ahead, adding: “Fll fetch Lottie Carl along." “No; n i stick along with yon two. There’s probably some excitement In town over Wild Bill's death, and Pd like to be there.” The travelers passed through fair valleys, HcWy grassed, that would have delighted the heart of the hus bandman. According to DinsdaIe1S count they crossed Spring creek thirty- one times In traveling a dozen miles. would ride within range of their rifles. “Lei him go, ehT muSed 'Sam Juan. “That’s too bad I Wonder what’s be hind I tr “Looks as If he might be able to tell things that some one doesn’t want told,” commented Dlnsdale savagely. Fourteen mties were covered before- San Juan selected the next camping place, a restful spot In Spring valley. The night passed quiejfy, and an other ride Into the fog was com menced. A few miles out they over took a man leading a diminutive bur ro. The animal was all but concealed by camping' gear, tent and blankets. Lashed on top of the load wasa Henry rifle, forerunner of the Winchester. Juan waved his hand and saluted: ■ “How now, cPyrltes'?, Another rich strike?” 1 The man baited and blinked up at -them, revealing a weather-worn face that was traversed by a network of tiny wrinkles. From the coiner of his mouth San Juan Informed Dlnsdale: ,'. “ Old Troo Pyrites,’ best sample of perpetual prospector you ever saw. He'd quit millions 'In a sure tiling' to pan out new gravel. I grubstake him." “Howdy, Joey I” Joyously cried . Py rites, now finding’ his tongue. “Ain’t struck anything but rich prospects this (.Tip, but m uncover the real ar ticle on the next Found- some mighty, rich Indicatlona Who’s-your friends?” The gambler made Lottie Carl and' Dlnsdale known, and briefly told of - ,the,, massacre, In the canyon. Pyrites stared sympathetically at the girl. . “Too bad, younker,” he said "But this Is a mighty fine country tio forget things In. You’ve heard about BilL Joeyr San Juan nodded gloomily, then ex claimed In deep dlsgnst: “And to think of letting that McCall go free!” " , This was news to Pyrites, for he fairly yelled: - “Go free? Why, Joey, they Just couldn’t Theyhad tohanghlm l You can’t mean that they didn’t hang him on the spot I” The--, gambler-, repeated - What t- had been told him at Rapid City. Once Pyrites was convinced that the mur derer's Innocence already bad been proclaimed by a mob tribunal swore vehemently. The girl showed, alarm, and Dlnsdale signaled for a change of the conversation. Pyrites was not ready to return to Deadwood. ' . ’ "I Want to go a bit slow along here," he explained. “Two or three Ukely looking spots I want to look a t But HI be In town as soom as you are, I reckon. , Progress was slow, little better than a walk,-becaji^. of-Lottie-Carl; and night found them ’a good ’ride from Deadwood City, San-Jnan Joe, how ever,, accepted the delay philosophical ly. The nervous haste to get back to. the gulch, so obvious In the morn ing, was entirely lacking, and he en-. tered upon the work of preparing their last camp with the. zest of a schoolboy released for the holidays. She Insisted on Attending to the Cooking. ThCy made their camp on the head, waters of this stream, and built a lean-to, or half-faced camp, for the girl. . She , Insisted on attending to the cooking. v • Early In the morning, while the val ley was still swathed In white fog, tliey were up and eating and soon on their way. A short ride brought them to Hill City, which Interested Dlns dale hugely. There were two hundred, log houses, many of them uncompleted, and .not a solitary Inhabitant Deadwood City again was the answer, for^ this wholesale abandonment. Once the citizens beard pi the poor man’s dig gings In the northern gulch- they had stampeded as one. That noon they, rode Into Rapid City on the .creek: of the same name. This town and its immediate environs were bustling with mining activities, the- first the travelers had witnessed sin'ce leaving Red. canyon. - Iti was, at Rapid City. that, the gambler and 'Dlnsdale learned how McCall, slayer of Wild BlU,.had-been arraigned the might- before by a so- called “citizens’ ”, or “minors’ ” commit tee, had been acquitted and furnished with, agood , horse. and. aUowed to try his luck .In escaping 'froin' the- hfll^ And there were thosfe who had watched the stage road ever since the Woid was received, hoping that the murderer CHAPTER Ml The Town of High Promise, They halted their horses at the top of'a steep descent early In the after noon and gazed down into the lower end of-Deadwood QulCh. The gulch, seemed to end abruptly against a ridge- In the middle distance, but San Juan explained that its course was very winding and, that it . was fully ten 'miles long. ' Both sides of the road were lined with log cabins, shanties of rough boards, and tents. . “It ain’t very pretty to look at,” dubiously commented Lottie Cart, gaz ing disapprovingly at the. scattered dead pines, the survivors, of fires and windfalls. “I agree with Lottie. Jt Isn’t much to look at,” said Dlnsdale. - “Forget the scenery, man. Remem ber that Deadwood City wasn’t laid out tiU last May, and that all supplies and the machinery for the sawmills had to be freighted In for two hun dred and fifty miles'with much of the road-'belng-In ,hostile.rcouqtry. Dead- wood Is a great town. No other like it In the world.” And Ih saying this the gambler spoke with but littie.'If any, exaggeration; for the' mining camp at the junction of the two creeks was a miracle of American enthusiasm and enterprise. Up to the middle of May it had been a tangled wilderness, with the growth so thick- and Impenetrable 'that the government exploring expedition Of the previous year, sent-out to confirm the Custer expedition of ’seventy-four, had sot entered the gulch at aliSince the middle of May, when Craveni Lee-- and Isaac, Brown built the first pine log cabin and helped to lay ,out the streets , with a lariat In lieu of a surveyor’s chain, it had grown into a business center of feverish ac- -tlvity.

Let’s-have a glass of beer.” “I’ll; stay here with Lottie," replied Dhisdale..- . :.;San Juan was soon back. As he swubg Into tiie saddle he told Dlnsdale' It was true that WUd BUl’s slayer had been acquitted and allowed to leave the town. - ' On -. that - AugostHday-Vsebemslghths. of the Black hills population, or some seven thousand people, were In the town. And it was estimated that sev en out of every ten lacked employ ment and were, living from .hand to mouth. While Justly called the “poor man's digging" there was scant op portunity for-late arrivals to go pros pecting so long as the fear of the Sloux held the people dose to the town. The talk of the milling crowds was not of gold but of Indians.. Even the; Chinese laundrymen abandoned their work In the Centennial wash house and loitered outdoors to- pick up scraps of Information concerning the warriors of Crazy Horse. San Juan Joe was one of .the best- known men In the gulch. Decent men, as well as-the. refuse of the world’s, quarters, passed, through his blg' gambling tent When he ywas recog-, nized there was a general crowding forward to greet him and learn the latest news from the south. 'The gambler did no,t attempt , to speak at first, for he was battered with/fierce queries from a score of men at .once. "Where’s Crook?” .. . "Lord! Is the government going to let them devils wipe os out?” ’ “Have the Crows. and Shoshonl joined Crook yet?” • "Where’s Terry? Where’s Gibson?” - “Why don’t the soldiers come?” The gambler raised a hand for Si lence -and VbrIeflyvreClted-Whatflittle outside news he had- picked up while at Bowman’s ranch on the Cheyenne. With' more detail he told of the mas sacre In the canyon and was compelled to wait nntll the chorus of oaths and yells for vengeance had spent itself. - The wild outburst changed to ydlder cheers and a tremendous exultation as he spoke of the flve Indians slain by him and Dlnsdale. “One word more,V cried San Juan. "This Uttle lady Is. Lottie Carl, the only survivor of the Belman outfit.” "Buy heti a pair of shoes,” howled a citizen. iDeafenlng- cheers -greeted the sug gestion. A blacksmith, still wearing his leather apron and carrying his £e. sledge, shouted: "Hooray for five dead skunks! Fn start It with this!” And snatching a hat from the nearest head, he dropped into It a tiny bag of dust. There were many In the gathering who did not know where the next meal was coming from; but there were enough others to swell the contents of the hat When the. collection was handed up to the gambler Dinsdale - stripped two greenbacks from a roll as his contribution. Even In the en thusiasm Vof-the. moment this , act was noted and remembered; for green backs were curiosities In the hills and readily commanded a premium Of Av^ per cent San Juan gavfe generously. The noisy promoter called for a committee to count the collection. This was done In'due form with the gam bler-as chairman. After a visit to the gold-scales of the nearest store the committee reported that' Lottle Carl was richer by thirty-five ounces or six hundred and'forty-seven dollars. . Vociferous cheering greeted the an nouncement The bat with Its wealth was banded to the flush-faced glrL Lottie Carl was too dazed to speak.; but San Juan rose In his stirrups and bellowed : , “The Jlttle lady wishes me to thank you for her." Dlnsdale':-leaned forward and ,spoke rapidly to the gambler, who stared at him in faint surprise, and replied: “First time you’ve mentioned it to me." - “I forgot about it Heard It at Lar amie. May not Interest them." “Everything interests 'us up here." Again rising In his stirrups and wav ing his h^nd for attention. Son Juan announced: - v “My friend, WbotS Just through from Cheyenne , and Fort Laramie, says train-robbers held up the Union Pa cific" train at Ogalala,- went through the passengers, took the express and maiL” . . - ■.'. LOw-volced imprecations rippled through- the crowds. Only the great fear of the mighty Sloux nation and its threat to sweep through' the; hills and exterminate every white person, had restrained the miners from taking up the matter of the many stage rob beries. The three rode on with San Juaii explaining:. :\ “Not far to My friend’s place where we can leave Lottie.” Dlnsdale reined In and pointed to a sign, on a long Iqg cabin, which read; MRS.

THUG BAND UNDONE BY TOO MUCH LOVE Little Tale From Russia Thai Beats the Movies. Moscow.—There’s, lots of movie stufl In real life In soviet Russia. Take, for Instance, the case of the Juns brothers. The Juns were soldiers at the front When Russia quit the World war they started home. They were hungry and their .clothing was In rags. Jvan and George found how easy it was to rob freight cars. In U short time they headed a band of 40 robbers, nad were doing''a fine business. Railroad men were in the band and they tipped off cars witii the most valuable contents. Finally Jvan fell in Iote with: Mar- fusha, an employee of the Samara soviet executive committee. She stol? for Jvan a bunch of passports, all signed and stamped, so they could be used if any of the gang desired to leave Russia suddenly. So far, fine!

Many of the sudden deaths among ducklings are due solely to sunstroke. If there are no low grow ing bushes, and ao shade of trees, make shelters of burlap Or of branches and keep the water there. Sun-heated water Is bad; change the water often ,and keep it cool as possible. After they are thfrty-sis hours old, ducklings should be fed Svie times daily at first A government ration calls for a mixture of equal parts by measure of rolled oats and bread crumbs with 3 per cent of sharp sanfl mixed In the feed. Tlie amount need ed for one feed should be moistened and given near'the,drinking fountains so the ducklings can drink as they eat About the third day this feed is changed to equal parts of bread, rolled oats, bran and. corhsleal; then after the seventh day to three parts of bran, one part each of low-grade wheat flour and of cornmeal, 10 per cent of green feed and 5 per cent of beef scrap, with ajiorit 3 per cent of sand or grit In all of the rations. All to be fed slightly damp. „ The amount of beef scrap Is grad ually Increased to 15 per ceht by the end of the third week. Gradually In crease the proportion of cornmeal and decrease the amount of bran until the ration becomes' the fattening ration given below for those ducklings which are to be marketed. Those to be saved for breeding should be given the duck ling ration with the Increased »beef scrap (15 per cent) but not fed the fat tening ration. They should also be given a good range where grass and water are available. It confined to 6are yards, considerable green feed and vegetables should be fed. The ducklings to be marketed should be fattened for„tw>;weeks before kill ing, on a ration made of three .parts by weight of cornmeal, two parts of low-grade flour or middlings, one part of bran, one-haif part bee^ scrap, with 8 per cent grit and 10 per cent green food Oyster shrtJ, or, ground bone I? an addition to the mash.. Sudden Qiange of Feed Causes Pullet to Molt Any sudden change In feeding or care of -a flock of laying pullets is likely to Induce a partial molt and; chfcck egg production. •: For. this rea-. son, any needed changes should be made gradually. If the kind of feed is tb be changed, gradually substitute the new for the old, not Immediately discontinuing one thing to give an other of a different kind. Do not change suddenly from Wet to dry, or dry to wet mashes, or make great changes In the amount of meat scrap fed. ,.It Is of course necessary that changes should be. made In the man agement of a flock at times, but avoid the shock to what appears to be a very susceptible nervous system of bens that ensues from quick changes I know of no way of helping a flock through Its molt other than by good care- and feeding; says a writer in the Rural New Torber.- Do not change the accustomed ration, with the Idea of helping the' molt along, providing that yOu were feeding a suitable laying ration before the molt began. Feeding During Summer Months Very Important Pullets .are not expected to start laying while they are still taking on growth, and for the person who Is anxious to get. them laying, the sum mer months of feeding are important' Dual purpose types, such as the Ply mouth Rocks or Rhode Island Reds, wlU give little worry, of maturing too early. • The average, earljthatched chick should by careful feeding, be ready for laying early In Novemher. Since pullets will not lay while they are growing rapidly, further develop-, ment - can be: checked oftentimes by increasing the feeds which produce fat such as. com. At the same time feeds .which stimulate the egg-laying organs . may be used, such as animal food. This is a ‘ method of feeding which is intended for pullets to be used as layers; lt would be objection able if the birds were Intended for tlie' next season’s breeding pen. Color of Young Chicks Chicks from eggs of. the black breeds such' as. BlacS Langshans, Black Cochins, etcv often hatch out white chicks, but are none the less pure for all that and will grow into perfectly black fowls. Chicks from the white breeds, again, such “as White Plymouth Rocks, White; Orp ingtons and White Wyandottes will hatch out dark or yellow chicks. But they will outgrow that and becomg perfectly white after, they have shea Rocks rarely show any barring at first. ’ ' ' Keep Hen Contented Farm land that bas been over worked can be fertilized and made productive again, but the poor old hen cannot be rejuvenated and made to produce the necessary number of eggs to make her a .payer.'

If You Need a Medicine 1 You Should Have the Best- Br. Kilmer’s Swamp-Rool Havs you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for mamy years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it showB excellent results, as many of my customers testify. Xo other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Koot is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

Immortal Epic The Niebelungen-Lled is a famous German epic poem of unknown author ship consisting of ancient ballads, termed sagas. In Its present form it dates from the middle of the Twelfth century.' It Is divided into two parts, the first ending with the death of Selg- fried and the second with the death of Krlemhlld, his widow. Interest in the Nlebelungen-Lled declined after the Reformation, but revived at the close of the Eighteenth century; it was not, however, until the,early part of the Nineteenth century that scholars realized the great literary treasures contained In this poem. Richard Wag ner founded his musical drama en titled “The Ring of. the Nlbelungen” on this epic.

A sernion has been preached or a speech has been delivered, and as those who heard it scatter to their homes they assure one another that it was great.- Now, .why was il great? It was great simply because it was a commonplace, because it contained Jiothiiig new, because ic was composed of ideas and phrases long dear to the hearts of the hear ers. If it contained a new theory, idea or argument, those who heard it would have come away full of dissapointment. Man’s mind de lights in the path that leads to his home. He feels safe iu the path, for he has gone that way many times before. Almost every manis a creature of his childhopd. He is a member of this cliuech because his mother assured him ’ this church alone teaches the whole truth; he votes with this political party because father so voted. Or if his choice in these matters is made later in life, it may be that he joins a certain" church because he loves the first soprano, and vptes with a certain party because his friends is a ward boss. He is a rare individual who faces these questions squarely and thinks them out, uninfluenced by friendships, loves, bates and fears. Those who would remake the world nearer to their hearts’ desire champ their, bits and-.scold because the world yawn and refuses to get excitud. The wonder is that the world makes any progress at all. Parents whose heads were filled with unsound ideasiurt heir-,,turn inflict their ideas in tlieir progeny, as though in a conspiracy to defeat those who would make further pro gress in quest of truth; and only the rebels and the unled who must blaze their'own trail roam afield unleached ,of erthodoxy, and these are ostracized or silenced by means of force. Well it’s a safe plan. Eachsoiind idea gathers converts as the cen turies pass, until at length it is woven into the ‘fabric of civiliza tion; and if man’s love of ruts and dread of change did uot neutralize his love of adventure, he would- be fo: ever chasing after strauge gods aud forever nursiug bruises got in some venture wholly foolish. • Laugh, Darn You. Some of the Democratic sheets in the State have suggested that the Republicans decline to name a man to ran against Chief Justice Hoke and Justice Connor in the general election this fall, that it would be a grand thing to make the North Caro- ina Sudreme court a non-partisan indeed. If they waiited it to be non partisan why didn’t Cam name a Republican to sit on the'court in stead of the naming one of the Cor- nor politicians? And then there is Hiriot Clarkson' whom every one in the Stata knows was nothing but a ring politician when he was appoint ed to the supreme court by Cam. And then Judge Stacy, brilliant man that he is. was one of the smoothest politicians in New Hanover county before he went on one ever accused Judge Adams of sidestepping politics Non partisan indeed. As long as the Democrats are in power in this State there will never bea non-parti san judiciary.

He then formulated; a plan to divide the profits among his employes, retaining about fifty, percent of the stock himself. They are getting on easy street and he is about to become a millionaire.

Silent Cal and Energetic Charlie make an excellent team.” Coming from a man like Mr. Bryan this is indeed high praise and we are of the opinion ihat the Democrats will be unable to put out a ticket to match this pair. Sunday School Convention. It is announced by officers of Davie County. Sunday School Association that the aunual County Sunday SchooIConvention will be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 19 and 20, in the Advance Methodist church, Tal inga prominent part on the program will be the following well known Sunday school workers: Miss Daisy Magee. Raleigh, N. C., Children’s Division Superintendent NorthCarolina Sunday School As sociation and Mr; D. W. Sims. Ral eigh, N. C., General Superintendent North Carolina Sunday School As sociation. In addition to these outside speak ers a number of the most prominent pastors and Sunday School workers in the county will take pary in .the various sessions of the convention. In charge of the arrangements for the'convention are.T. I. Caudell and Brice P. Garrett, President and Se cretary of the County Summer School Association. These officers are requesting the co-operation of all pastors and superintendents and other Sunday School leaders in the ■effort to make the convention a auci cess. Followinga plan started’at the county convention last year a pen nat will be presented to the Sunday school having present in the conven tion the largest number of repre sentatives sixteen years of age,-and over, according to the number of miies traveled. The number of re preselltatives from each Sunday school will be multiplied by the num ber of miles from that Church .to the Convention church, and the Sun day school having the largest total will recieve the pennarit. It ib ex pected that there wijl be much friendly competition for the pen nant among the Sunday schools of the county. The Sunday school with which the convention is held, and others within one mile, will not com pete for. the pennant Fussy Parrots Briog Police.

Senator LaFoIlete who has been masquerading as a Repuhlican fojr years is about to ba ' smoked out” and shown up in his true color?. In the session of congress jast recently adjourned he and his listle block of Wisconsin and Minnesota hero wor-. shippers were an aid arid comfort to to the Democrats and did ever}- think in their power to obstruek and block the progressive policies of the Republican label. The LaFollette- For President club, of Chicago, has been sounding o u t sentiment throughout the country as to how the Wisconsin traitor to his his party would run in the general election in Novembier should be the nominee of a third party. One of these letters has reached one . of the most pro minent Republicans in the State, Mr. Charles A. Jonas, of Lincolntor, and the following is his reply to same: LaFuIletlu For President Committee, Chicago, 111 Gentlemei:—; 1 I ani in receipt of your propaganda for LaFeMette for President of the United States I consider it an insult to my inteligence and Americanism to have received this literature. I noticed most of the names carried on your stationery as officers of your committee have a foreign ring. This movement is in no sense American, either in principle or in motive. If the people will take the trouble to ifind out wno is at the head of this movement to over throw the cherish ed principles’ of. this government, in favor of red ism, anarchy, and so cialism, there is no danger in your movement. Everv foraign agitator, anarchist, red and bolshevic ought to enlist under yopr banner and ,I have no doubt will. Senator LaFoIlette could be one of America’s ablest statesmen. What a pity he has wasted his life trying to tear down the Government of our fathers. I consider him the greatest enemy of America today. I would be asbamed of my country if I believed that there are fifty citi zens in it who would encourage him to tun for President of our countrv. There is one the thing about this movement that-should rejoice the heart of every member of the party of LINCOLN. It takes LaKoIJette definitely out of the Republican par* ty, whose name he has borne under false pretense for years. Yours truy, CHAS A. JONAS. > WeVe A Rascal.

TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice inMocks- Tille, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $100 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ SO THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE S 25 Whiskey and business: will not mix. We have seen it tried out in this town. It has been said by them of old that the Democratic party could al- • ways act the fool at the right time. The Demoerats found out one thing at New York—it won't do to get tangled up with the Ku Klux Klan. The K’s are making lots of people sit up and take notice. Here’s hoping that the Republi can county convention which is to be held in Mooksville on Monday July 14th, will not last as long as the Democrats had to stay in New York during their late convention. During the heat of the Democra tic convention one ardent local De mocrat charged in his wrath that the Greensboro News was a Roman Catholic paper. We don’t believe the News is a Catholic but we would dislike to hate adogasniuch as the News hates the four K’s. It will not be long until the fair season will be here. If Davie coun ty is going to have a fair this fall it is high time that the people begin making some arrangements about the matter. We have one of the finest agricultural counties in North Carolina and should have a first- class agiicultuTal fair. "The blackberry is now ripe and ready to be devoured, but without the flour and sugar he is worth but little to a hungry man. We want about two hundred of our subscri bers to send' in their renewals this week so we can pay our bills and have enough cash left to lay in a supply of pie material. Those who have been promising to pay us for the last year are urged to come for ward at once. The people of Mocksville, were kept in close touch with the De mocratic National Convfention pro ceedings at New York last week- through bulletins issued by The Davie Record. This news was sup plied us through the courtesy of our -neighbors The Winston Sentinel and Journal. The Record always tries to keep the public posted on events of national importance de spite the extra trouble and ex pense, and we feel sure that the citizens of the town appreciate our efforts. J. F. Sheek of Advance, R. 1, in talking to the editor a few days ago remarked that he had been a subscriber to The Record for the past 21 years. In that time he had his address changed six times and only missed getting 4 copies of his paper. Mr. Sheek said that he had not missed a copy of The Record in the 17 years the present editor has been here. This is a fine record and speaks well of the postoffice clerks, mail clerks, letter carriers and The Record mailing force. The report was circulated last week that The Record had received more straw ballots for sheriff than there were voters in Davie county, We don’t know who . is responsible for this whopper, but the one who started ic must be a whale of a liar. Up to this writing we have received between five aud six hundred votes not more than one-fourth the.mim her of Republican votes that will be cast in the November election When we. started t-liis straw ballot we figured that about one thousand votes would be cast. The total number of votes cast to July-7 th was 5 6 4, divided between the can didates as follows: Cope 195 ; Miller 185; Hartman 7 5 ; Winecoff 49 Smith 24; Graham 18; Walker C. C. Smoot 8; Craven 1. For the benefit of anyone who is thinking of coming to Mocksville to live we will say that there are more empty houses here -now than at any time since before the war. Nearly one liuudred new houses have been built here recently. If the owners of the vacant houses will be reasonable in their charges the houses can be rented. Work ing peipie cannot pay a dollar a day for a cottage in which to live. On Saturday, July 12th, the Re publican primaries will be held-at the eleven voting precinct in Davie county. This will be a busy sea son but we hope that every man aud woman who has the welfare of the Republican party at heart, will take off an hour or two that after noon . and attend their primary. Good men must be nominated to fill all the offices if-the Republicans are to redeem the county this fall. No town can remain at a stand still for long; Theywilleithergrow Iargeryor smaller. Our town has enjoyed a substantial growth for the past two years. If we are to keep growing the citizens of the town will have to pull together and work in harmony. We cannot af ford to go backward. If our peo ple dou’t wake up and get busy we are going toslose some of our best people aud some of our enterprises. Governor Cam Morrison who made a speech m New York dur ing the Democratic convention had the following words to say: “I love many Jews and I. love many Catho lics and I have appointed both to office and laughed at the Ku Klux' since becoming governor of No th Carolina.” . Iu closing his speech •Cam wound up as follows, by loiinching a boom for Senator Walsh: ‘I’d like to see this great < .Hcuouc made candidate tor Presi «<uti or vice-president of the Uuited NoW> by gosh, whatdo vUti isirb cf ,UHkt I : j Bad Mail Service. The Record was forced to send out a 4 page paper last: week, and mail 4 pages one day late, as a.re- sult of the change of schedule of our trains which disrupted the mail service. Our papers from Char lotte are due to arrive here at 7:37 a. m , on Tuesdays but last week they did not arrive until Wednes day. Tbe mail clerk has been taken off the morning train out of Charlotte, and we receive no mail from the south until 4:08 p in. We trust that in 'the future we will be able to mail the full edition of the papers on time. Bailey Property Sold. The W. H. Bailey property op posite The Record office; -was sold at p .b ic au tion Monday at tl.e court house. The 12 lots, six front ing, on Main street and six back lots sold for $10,902 .

An involuntary petition to throw the Paul Rubber Company, of Salis bury, into the hands of receivers has been filed with the United States district court in Greensboro and the papers have been sent to Judge H.- H. Watkins, of Anderson, S. C., for action. __ The petition is signed by three creditors but information from at torneys in attornevs was to the ef fect that about 200 creditorits have claims aggregating approximately $200,000 against the conmany. M. W. McConnell, president of the company, left Salisbury several weeks ago and is understood now to be m Oklahoma. The Paul Rubber company was started several years ago. It has a large plant, above 200 operatives and a capital of several hundred thous and-dollars. Anattorney in touch with the company’s affairs said that tne company was regarded by many, creditors are being solvent but the large number of creditors had made any arrangements difficult. Several Plants to.save-the organization have been blocked by creditors whose claims bad not been known.

' When the chicks are, taken from the incubator add placed under the brood er stove, they should be- given a. drink of a mixture of sour milk or buttermilk In which have been beaten up about three eggs yolks per quart of milk. This mixture should, be accessible for the. first 24 hours they are under the brooder stove. For the next seven days they should be fed five-times a day with a sufficient amount of chick feed—which may be a mixture of equal parts of fine cracked corn, fine cracked wheat, and steel-cut oats—to last ten minutes. As soon as this mix ture is eaten, they should be given a sufficient'amount of an egg-and-masb mixture to last them about ten minutes more, made with 12 egg yolks to each one and one-half pounds of mash, and mixed thoroughly to produce really a crumbly mixture. Enough of this mash should be fed to provide one egg yolk to each 30 chicks daily. The second week this feeding should be continued If a sufficient supply of eggs is available. Toward the end of the second week the regular laying dry mash may be given an hour both morn ing and afternoon, increasing the length of time until 11: is constantly before the chicks. The eggs used In this mixture may be those taken out of the incubator on the seventh and fourteenth-day tests.

From the time the chicks are three weeks old, they should be fed three times a day with equal parts of mash and chick feed. Why Does Sour Skimmilk Encourage Hens to Lay? A year ago the Idaho College of. Ag riculture, through the department of poultry' husbandry, started an experi ment to determine the cause of the high production secured from laying hens that were given an abundance of sour skim milk. A study of the analysis of sour skim milk showed It to contain 90.77 per cent water, 0.10 per cent fat, 3.03 per cent milk sugar (lactose), 0.5 per. cent lactic. acid, 3.5 per. cent protein and 0.79 per cent milk ash or salts. It whs assumed that water alone was not the stimu lating factor. The fat content seemed too low; and the distribution of car bohydrates did pot point to milk su gar as a possible source of the prob lem. A comparison was made of ra dons containing lactic acid, milk salts, protein—free sour skim milk and sour skim milk. The results showed con clusively that lactic acid in the same solution as in sour skim milk is value less for egg production. Besides both milk salts and ash entirely failed to stimulate increased egg production, The results all seem to indicate that It Is the valuable part of sour skim milk. For two years, the protein-free sour skim milk has not given as satisfactory production as the Sour7 skim milk. A further study Is being made into this interesting problem. Pens are now being compared in which rations con taining milk curd, milk case, protein- free sour Sklm milk and sour skim milk are given. Green Feed Problem Where the hens have free range, the problem of green feed takes pretty good care of ltpelf, especially If clover or alfalfa fields are convenient. But bare yards are a nuisance. They not only curtail egg production at a ,time when egg$ can be manufactured cheap er than at any other time of the year, but they bring about disease and en courage a general filthy vcondition that is detrimental to present and future 'flocks.

(Prepared 1>7 the United States Department of Agriculture.) Conclusions drawn from experiments with emmer, spelt, and einkorn, three distinct kinds of crops related to wheat, are presented In a new bulletin Just Issued by the-United States De partment of Agriculture. Department .Bulletin 1197 should be of Interest to farmers • and more especially u> field crop workers who want Information as to the adaptation of these crops to the conditions In various sections of the United States. The bulletin seeks also to prevent, so far as possible, the exploitation of these rather minor crops In sections where they are not adapted.' Emmer Not (tardy. Winter emmer, say the Investigators,: Is not hardy enough to be grown on the great plains north of Kansas, and even In Kansas it may be_ winterkilled. It is less productive than winter wheat ■Because of its low yields it should not be grown In any part of the United States or Canada. ■ Spring emmer should not be grown except possibly to some extent In North Dakota, eastern South Dakota, and southern Minnesota for the purpose of increasing crop diversification. In all sections of these states it Is outyield- ed, on the average, by the leading va rieties of barley or oats, or both, al though In some years at some experi ment stations it will outyleld these crops. Even under conditions where rust and drought are common, emmer does not compare favorably with bar ley and oats. Spelt Is Productive. Winter spelt Is more productive than barley and oats In a limited portion1 of Maryland and Virginia where ex periments have been conducted, and apparently also In Utah. The limits of Its adaptation have not been deter mined, but it is probable that It will be found to give best results In com parison with other small-grain !feed crops In the area between the spring and winter oats and barley areas, tt does oot produce as high net yields of threshed kernels as does winter whfeat, even In those districts where It ap pears promising. Many Realize Rotation of Crops Is Important Most farmers nowadays realize the value of rotating crops according to some systematic scheme that may best suit the purpose of the farmer, yet on very many farms com Is grown year after year on the same land. The Ohio experiment station has been conducting rotation experiments and growing crops on the same land con tinuously for the last 30 years and the results they have obtained are, there fore, quite reliable. On one field, where ,com lias been grown continu ously without manure for 17 years, the average yield has been 28.1 bush els per acre. On an adjoining field com has been rotated with oats for 17 years. On this Beld eight crops of com and -nine crops of oats have grown during that period. Com has averaged 41.7 bushels per acre and oats 39.8 bushels. This field also was not fertilized.' This two-year rotation of com and oats teaches a most valu able lesson, for the field has almost produced as many bushels of corn as -the field that was In com every year, and at the same time has produced an average of nearly 40 bushels of_oats per acre during the years that this crop was grown. Turnips and Rutabagas . Are Valuable for Peed Both turnip's and rutabagas can be grown for summer, autumn and winter crops, and are valuable throughout'the Beason as food for all kinds of Uve stock. The housewife Is learning to appreciate both the turnip and ruta baga more each year:-.. While we need more or less sweets In our dally supply of food, we are be ing cautioned against the use of sugar, and it is natural to be looking about for other sources of sweets. The rutabaga is a sweet turnip. Those fine yellow and white varieties used as food contain a certain percent age of sugar, and their use as food will , supply a need of the body and as sist greatly In the reduction of the cost of living. . It will pay to grow both turnips and rutabagas. They will do well on. most any soil, but prefer a rich, sandy loam. Favor Nitrate of Soda to Fertilize Com Crop The yield of com is determined very largely by the amount of. ammonia used In the fertilizer, according to Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist at Clemson college, who.»thinks that □ltrate of soda pays much’ better on corn than other forms of fertilizers, and that 150 to 200 pounds of soda ■per acre Is not too much, to apply to the average land.

H. Alien, specialist In poultry husbandry at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture, New Brunswick. “Such troubles , as Intestinal' worms; coccidl- osls, and paralysis are some of the troubles In pullet, raising Which' can be prevented by cleanliness. At the time of hatching the chick Is tree from all diseases. except baclllary white diarrhoea, and Is free from this 'lisease as well, unless the breeding stock is infected. Deaths alone are not caused by disease; digestive or gans of surviving chicks may be In jured, thus resulting In Inefficient food assimilation. . “Cleanliness starts with the coop. This should • be thoroughly cleaned each week, the litter and. dropplngs_ removed and new, litter put ln. The’ ground Is the next source of trouble to be Watched. The soil next to the house should be turned under from time to time, and especially during wet weather. The house should be wired so that the chicks cannot get under It, as this ground will get moldy and become Infected with dis ease. AU poultry manure on the farm should be kept dry during the summer months end the manure shed should be screened to prevent flies from breeding in it. Files are the soufce of much of the tapeworm troubles. Just because one flock Is laying 50 per cent during November,! is no rea son why all in#Il. Whether a flock lays well next winter or not depends upon how well they have been grown. “Last, all old birds should be quar antined from the young stock. Old stock often carry disease, though they may not show It; hence, they are a menace to the growing stock.” . Imported Parasites to Control Alfalfa Weevil Destructiveness of the alfalfa weevil In the West has led entomologists to give attention for some years to the possibility of using parasites to assist in controlling this pest and to search In Europe, where the alfalfa weevil is native, for suitable species. Of the 12 species which have been brought from Europe Into the United States, five have shown promise of practical use fulness in Utah. . One in particular, Batbyplectes curculionis, has become well established, so that it actually swarms In infested fields In this state and, In some Instances, destroys, over 90 per cent of the weevil larvae. Sev eral promising species of parasites which might aid In controlling other stages of the weevil have thus far failed to become established. A new department circular, No. 301, entitled “Introduction of Parasites of the Alfalfa Weevil Into the United States,” by Thomas R. Chamberlin, en tomologist, gives a brief account of the more impbrtant Imported parasites and discusses the effectiveness of Bathy- plectes curculionis.

Nothing is so disastrous to them as a crop of weeds'growing with them. It is more profitable to grow flye acres right than twenty acres full' of weeds.

The - al monds will be brown and the fruit, of delicious flavor. Serve with the sirup and a little whipped cream.. If pears are cooked add a little lemon juice to the sirup.

C--John Speaks of /redell' county, who announced two years.ago that he would not bury the body of his' son, a soldier killed In France, whose remains were brought back home, continues to lieep dally vigil over the ihetal coffin containing the bones-of bis boy, although he has acceded to public damorand built an annex to. his home for use as a mor tuary. '. The home of Speaks is situated In Union Grove township, near Jennings postbffice, ^20 miles north of States ville. It lIies a few hundred yards off the Winston-Salem highway, on a beautiful fascinating tract The property Includes a 100-acre. farm, fertile and weH tilled. Eight chil dren were born In . the home, seven of whom, are now living, but only one, the youngest, a girl, remains at home. Houses the Casket. In the yard near the Speaks home Is a little house,, about eight- feet square, neatly weather-boarded, with windows at each, end and a Uttle porch ^n the front. Flowers and shrubbery cover the sides of the entrance. John Sparks carries the only key to the home, which houses the casket It lies across the. room and rests on the box In which It was shipped' from France. An American flag is draped over It On the walls hang a hat, a ^ap and several articles’ of apparel that were formerly worn by the de ceased soldier. A clothes brush and a plenk con taining lettering cut by the boy be fore be entered the army are among other relics stored In the room. The ap --- Continues to Keep Daiiy Vigil. <*>tfin rests in a metal container and Is securely sealed. County health offi cers have declined. to make a move In connection with the matter, and It seems that there Is no law to compel burial unless the health of others should become jeopardized. Speaks says he will' consent to burial; If the law says he must or if county officials decide that it is necessary, but that he does not intend to comply merely with a popular demand. Would- Be BUried Together.- 7 Hr. Speaks is' an assiduous read er/of the Bible, and bolds family services In his home, but he does not belong to any church. “I do not want to bury my boy now,” he said. “But. I will bury him If I have to or If It Is not sanitary to keep him In or near the house. I wish to keep him until I am dead, and have his\bones burled with me. I do not want my boy’s body left out when I; die. After I am gone the :farm might change hands, and I would not want his body neglected or abused In any way.” So. for the present at least, the b«dy of Thomas Speaks, bugler, who made the 'supreme sacrifice; will rest undisturbed in the.little home his fa ther has built .for him in an annex to his ancestral. ■ home, among the scenic, hills' of. northern Iredell.

Y, w rites“I had catarrh for ten years, tried a lot of medicines, spent a lot of money, but it did me no good. Instead of getting better I grew worse. My eyes were bloodshot,, my nose smelled bad, and I would get so dizzy I would be forced to catch Hold of something to keep from falling. I used about ten bottles of Pe-ru-na and am cured of catarrh, the dizzy feeling has left me ana I am not bothered any more. I keep Pe-ru-na in the house and when I feel a cold coming on I take a little. It does me good.’’ Ask for the original and genuine Pe-ru-na the recognized treatment for catarrh and catarrhal conditions for more than fifty years. . Your dealer has Pe-ru-na in both tablet and liquid forms. How Mme. Thiers Saved the Scrapi -A striking instance of the fru g ality of the Thiers household was given by “Le .'Petit Homme Rouge” In his He- -publlcan France.” In the winter of 1872, when M. Thiers, though occupy ing the Elysee, was residing at Ver sailles, the author had occasion to call there on the morning after an official reception. The commissary of the palace, to Whom he was talking, was called away by a message that Madame Thiers had arrived. When he came back he explained that the lady and her sister invariably returned to Paris on the morrow of a reception in order to lunch off the remains of the dinner or supper of the previous night. “The journey costs them nothing,” he said, “for they travel at the ex pense of the state, and when they have lunched they carry all the food which still remains uneaten to Ver sailles.” In proof of his statement he led the author to a window and showed him the palace servants un loading baskets and parcels from the brougham of Madame Thiere. Much of common sense conslste in simply doing nothing when there is a row on. Champions have \ J \ J j been standard equipm ent on Ford cars for 12 years.

Troops Rule Wrecked City. Lorain, Ohio.—While this city con tinued to dig itself out of the ruin wrought by Saturday’s tornado, Gov ernor Vic Dohaney and a committee appointed by him t'o aid in bringing order out of choas were to survey the ruined district comprising ' about 125 blocks in an effort to devise means of rebuilding the city. • ’ Order and systematic relief having been established,, considerable prog ress is being made in cleaning up the wreackage. The two principal thor oughfares, Broadway and Brie streets, Hundreds of demolished residences streets have been opened to traffic, have been cleared and practically all have not yet-been explored for dead. Work of clearing the ruins of ffle State Theater, .where authorities be lieve there may still be a few bodies, continues. The list of dead remained ; 65.

New York.—Fifteen of the sixteen candidates for the democratic presi dential -nomination approved a state ment declaring each willingly releas ed all delegates committed, to him “as completely as if his name had been withdrawn from the convention.” The only signature missing was'-that of William G. McAdoo. Only a small beginning toward a possible compromise to break the democratic deadlock had been attain ed after a Sunday of consultation and reflection. Taking the initiative toward an agreement, the favorite son elements in the national convention agreed to release their delegates from all fur ther , obligation, and called on the Smith and McAdoo managers to do likewise. The Smith men replied that those who had supported their, candidate never had been under an obligation and could go elsewhere if they chose, while the McAdoo managers called a rally of their forces and reaffirmed their determination not to withdraw from the field. Conference Is Resumed. In the face of that situation the party officials and candidates’ mana gers delegated by the convention to seek a solution for the deadlock re sumed their conferences with some of the conferees hopeful and some plainly discouraged. If any one definite trend character ized the day’s activities, it was to ward a closer- union of the anti-Mc- Adoo elements of the convention—• not in the itnerest of any one candi date but to work out their theory that if McAdoo could be eliminated- the convention would be able ■ to find a nominate. There appeared to be ev ery expectation among the favorite soil leaders that Smith also would be willing to step aside, but beyond, that point their predictions did ’ not go. The question of selecting' a compro mise condidate appeard to be as ■ much an enigma as ,,ever. Whether the conference of officials and campaign managers would have a report ready to lay before the con vention when it reconvenes tomor row morning also remained uncertain. Some suggested that a further delay might be asked for, and some pri vately expressed the view that a dis agreement might have to be reported, leaving the delegates to seek some new course to free them _ from the grip of their 77 ballot deadlock. In still other quarters the opinion was expressed that the Smith and favorite son elements might unite , on a report commending that all the candidates release their 'delegates, and expressing regret that the Mc- Adoo managers had heen unwilling to talk about compromise^ candidates. The meeting of the favorite son man agers which preceded the reassem bling tonight of the full group of con ferees, acted unanimously In propos ing the release of delegates as a first step toward a solution. A resolution was drafted under which it would.be declared the sense of the convention that all instructions to vote for a par ticular candidate be disregarded with out, however, changing the edicts of those state conventions which have directed their delegations to 1Iote as s unit Those who sponsored the resolu tion and later laid it before, the full canference hoped it would go before the convention with the signature of some one authorized to speak for each of the candidates. Sitting in the favorite son confer ence were spokesmen for 14 candi dates, presided over by Senator Swan son, of Virjginia, who spoke for Sena tor Glass. The others represented were Senator Underwood, of Alaba ma; Senator Robinspn, of Arkansas; former Senator Salisbury; of Dela. ware; David F .... Houston; Senator Ralston, of Indiana; Governor- Davis, of Kansas; Governor Ritchie, of Maryland; Senator/ Ferris, of Michi gan; James M. Cox; Governor Bryan, of Nebraska;' Governor Brown, of Newhampshire; 'Govenior Silzer, of New Jersey, and John W. Davis. Sons Key to Situation. The combined strength of those 14 candidates on the 77th ballot—the last taken before the i over-Sunday ad; journment,—w as'209 out of the con vention's total voting strength of 1,- 098. But it was pointed out on every hand that this figure did not tell the whole .story of the importance of the favorite son groups in a solution of the problem which has held the con vention powerless for a week.

LaFollette as a presidential candidate and providing lor the organ ization of a new political party next January, the conference for progres sive political action wound up its con vention. The conference empowered its na tional committee to select a vice.presi- dential candidate after conference with the “LaFoUette for President committee.” ' LaFoUette was endorsed as a can didate on his own platform. The con vention then adopted'for itself a plat form embodying the ideas contained In. the Winconsin document and in the statement of principles issued at the St. Louis session of the conference last February. The final day of the gathering work ed out strictly according to plans of the leaders without appreciable op position. But just before adjournment some of the delegates, amazed by the rapidity of events, had to be assured by the chair that LaFoUette actually had been “nominated" and that defi nite provision had been made lor the new party. The confusio ndrose from the fact that the report of the committee on organization recommended this action, and that no separate motion of en dorsement was offered. The report itself was adopted without a dissent ing vote, but the significance of this action did not dawn on either dele gates or gallaries and there was a total absence of demonstration. , Re peatedly the name “LaFoUette” was the signal for an outburst of, cheering and applause. Yet the culmination of the convention’s work, roming In the form of a committee recommendation, did not draw even a patterning of hand-claps. . The farmer-labor party elements who backed Pearley Christiansen In the 1930 campaign, and who also had urged a third party idea then raffled to the support of LaFoUette as an independent, Abraham Leffkowitz, New York, being their spokesman.

She eyed him curiously. Then sharply, like the thrust of a stiletto: “Just what have you to do with this girl, anyway?”"Nothing beyond seeing that she Is decently housed—referring more to her surroundings than to the furniture. Later on more permanent plans can be made for her.” Kitty the Schemer tossed back her head and laughed lightly, but there was a wicked glint In her eyes as she bantered: 1Td say, Juan, that you and Mr. Goodman ought to' have had a pow wow about this child before asking me to take a hand.” San Juan glared at Dinsdale and harshly demanded: "What the h—I is the matter with you? You're acting queer. AU the way from Custer we’ve been planning to bring the girl here.” “You planned, not I,” murmured Dinsdale, pleased to have a man to talk to. “I've decided the girl Isn’t old enough, or experienced enough to choose for herself. So I’ll choose for her. .She's not to come here.' You can like it, or leave it” “Not to come here?” mocked Kitty, approaching' close to Dinsdale and tilting back her head. “You may kiss me.” ' ' “No, you may not kiss her I” Warnedi San Juan, his face paling, his half- dosed eyes revealing the heart of a “killer." “Your friend is about to slay me, MIss Kitty,” said Dinsdale, moving back and feeling Lottie Carl’s fingers clutching his band as if to hold him clear of temptation. “Not very gal lant of me, but after all I have only one life, you know.” . “This Is no time for nonsense, Kit ty,” broke In the gambler. “Dinsdale, you shouldn’t tell, me to like’ any thing, or ‘leave’ It.” “And some time yon’ll ask permis sion to kiss me,” softly murmured I I “‘Just What Have You to Do With , This Girl?” Kitty the Schemer, busily thinking murderous thoughts. . Dinsdale faced the gambler, and his ,embarrassment vanished.: He quietly said: 4 “I was the first to meet her In the ' canyon. You rode behind me. I was the one to swing her on to a horsi my horse. You helped pot the Indians; but I was the one to pick her off her feet and ride with her. She'll be'better off In the Colt woman’s boarding house. ‘A frontier woman with a rifle,’ you called her.” • . “I must be poison,” trilled Kitty the Schemer with an ugly side glance at San ,Tuan. “You must be very lovely. Yon look It,” retorted Dinsdale. "But there are those who come, here who are cot Now we’U be going, Lottie.” The girl obediently rose. San Juan Joe stepped between Dinsdale and the door and said: ' “Not so fast We’ll discuss this a bit further.” . “You’ll get dear of that door, Joe, or we’ll discuss it with guns,”. Dins dale warned In a low voice. “A bad man, eh?” politely asked the gambler. “A mighty bad man when held back from a door he’s set on going through.” It was difficult for the gambler to hate a man to the edge of death for being proof against the Schemer’s lure. Dinsdale had been a good com panion. He was a prepossessing young man and might easily Interest good women and weak. The gambler gave him a high mark for being Indifferent to Kitty. Because he believed he would never have cause for jealousy on Dinsdale’s account, the gambler lacked heart for what he knew would end In the death of one, perhaps the two, of them. The girl was of no Interest to San Juan. He felt an immense relief In believing that the fickle Schemer could never make his heart ache by receiv ing any attentions from Dinsdale. He amazed the woman ,by quietly agree ing: “Let It go at that, Pete.” And he stepped one side. “You ‘used up all your nerve and your fighting spirit In the canyon, I reckon,” hissed Kitty the Schemer, now thoroughly enraged at Dinsdale, the gambler and herself. San Juan did not mind her angry moods; he rather preferred them. When she was in a rage it was likely she had failed in some attempted con quest. ■ He was not to he trapped Into a fight to the death just to please the woman’s vanity. “Really, Kitty, the girl Isn't worth two good men throwing down guns on each other. We know just about what the other can do. If we went through with this It would mean one dead man and probably two. Now look the kid Over and say what Pve said is true. And It’s as he says; he saved her, not L” "He might have let her choose for herself,” insisted Kitty the Schemer. 'T want to go with- Mt. Dinsdale I” hastily cried Lottie, deeply frightened at the threatened tragedy, and yet not knowing just what all the argument was about "You’ve made a conquest,” laughed Kitty the Schemer. .'Xook out, girl, I. may’decide to take him from you.” ‘ 'You can’t! You mustn’t!” cried the girl as she drew Dinsdale into the hall after her. “Take me away! I'm scared of this place. Tm scared of that woman.” ‘You little fool,” remarked Kitty the Schemer contemptuously as she drew her skirts about her to escape contact with Lottie Carl’s coarse cloth ing and ran up the stairs. San Juan Joe tried to laugh as he complained: “D—n it, Dinsdalel But you’ve made bad blood between me and Kitty. Why the h—I couldn’t you show your cards on the table before I made an ass of myself?. Now she won’t feel satisfied BH you and I fight and one' of us gets killed. And if I should be the one to drop she wouldn’t be satis fied till she had her collar around your neck. The last Is one good reason why you and I won’t fight if I can help it.” “She’s a bad woman!” denounced Lottie Carl.. “Hush, hush;I, You mustn’t say that,” Dinsdale* corrected, pretending, not to see San Juan Joe’s twisted smile as he slowly mounted the stairs. “She lives her life and you will ilve yours. Andv we won’t say • anything more about it Now we must buy you some shoes."' They rode down the street to a-store exhibiting general merchandise. Lot tie Carl was soon,'equipped with a pair of shoes such as she had never owned before. She still carried the gold dust .but did not seem to sense Its potentials, and her companion paid the bill. On their way to Mrs. Colt’s place Lottie Carl shyly thanked her hew friend and said, something-abdut his being “mighty good to her.” He gruf fly repudiated the SUggrCStion. On entering the boarding house they were at once In the’presence of Mrs. Colt She scrutinized them keenly while Dinsdale was expressing hlg de sire to procure a room and lodging. When he finished she. snapped out* -“Married?” ; * "Lord, no! Lottie Cari Is only a lit tle girl,” he cried, quailing beneath hey fierce gaze. ’ ‘Tm seventeen," protested Lottie. Dinsdale Hhrriedly gave her ante cedents so far as be knew them and told of her escape from the canyon. The widow’s nostrils dilated,-and the light of battle sbone In her eyes. J “The town's- talking about you and that scallywag of a San Juan Joe,” she said. “It must have been 'agallus fight I’d ’a’, given a- dozen ounces to have been along with old Ben.”:- And sbe nodded vigorously toward a Sharps rifle in the corner, '!Wlien we come through It happened to be us quiet as ia Pennsylvania Sunday school. : I never had a crack a! the varmints, Suddenly her gaze wandered to Lot tie Carl’s new footgear, and she de manded; “Where did you git .them hussy-llke contraptions?”- Again Dinsdale was quick to explain. The widow smiled grimly and con ceded : “Can’t blame her as long as you picked them out for her. Who-makes good for her keep?” “I do ” “Why, I have money I Men In the street gave it to me!” excitedly in terrupted Lottie Carl, and she held up the dust. “She’s to keep that, Mrs. GolL m stand the shot If I get wiped out—” “Never mind your getting wiped out It'll be nice if she can keep what she’s got; but If you mean you're going to come here u-sparking her—" “No, noln obtruded Dinsdale. “You’ll be shut of me.

Yes, I’ll throw In some wearable clothes and a pair of shoes that’ll stand the wear and tear of our streets.” 'T knew, you were the right sort,” meekly said Dinsdale, backing to the door. “I’ll be going." “But ain’t I going to see you no more?” cried Lottie Carl, running to him and clutching his arm. Dinsdale stared helplessly Into her thin face, then at the grim visage of the widow.. With unexpected human ity Mrs. Colt drew the girl to her. side and softly patted the chestnut hair. To Dinsdale she said: “On Sunday afternoon you can rap. If Tm here you can comedos far as this room and- see your little friend. If I’m out, you’ll stay out If a man in this house bats a single eyelash at my new help, then God help him! Now Pm busy, and Lottie Carl can pitch In and help me.” . Dinsdale shook hands-with the girl, who turned away to iilde her teats. He was outside the door when she seized his arm and fiercely whispered: “Don’t ever kiSs that woman.” Then she was hack-.in the house be fore he could say a word. ' It was a great relief to have the responsibility of Uie girl 'shifted to the capable. Mrs.' Colt. Mounting his horse, he-rode'1 down; the street unde cided, as 'to where he should look for lodging.' For a man used to. taking life as it came along it was surprising that Dinsdale should give so much Ihought to the selectibn of "a: boarding place. Yet there' were Influences- working upon' him which made "his choice a matter of considerable strategic im portance. His cogitations-ended with his rid ing up the street and-halting before a sign that pleased - his fancy. Im mensely.

'You’re pretty thick with some of !hem; tell them what Fm saying.

The next circle of men where Dinsi dale loitered were discussing • the chances of an Indian invasion, and loudly-demanding of one another the reason for the soldiers’ failure to come. One citizen announced that -the bodies of three whites bad been found that very morning up Whltewood creek. These Isolated killings had been so frequent as to become commonplace. Hirough the open door of the L X. L. Dinsdale beheld a man gesticulat ing and talking loudly. Twenty or thirty silent men composed his audi ence. Dinsdale entered. !'We’re, coming to vigilantes, same’s they did In Montana," declared a heav ily bearded miner. “Can’t make me believe all these dead men found in the . gulches was killed by Indians.” Hiere was an uneasy stirring and an exchange of suspicious glances. It was whll known that road-agents en tered Deadwood City-.at times to pro cure supplies. Within a month a fight had started In front of the Grand Cen tral, resulting from a victim recog nizing a robber. The robber had es- .Ckpeu In A running fight. That others Stayed In' town between holdups was commonly believed. The Montana man was Impressed by the silence his speech had caused and glared defiantly around for a mo ment Then he began to weaken, and to work clear of the group. A jeer- Jng laugh accelerated his retreat. Bandy Allen, recently silenced by Col orado Charley, pointed a finger at the miner, now making for the door, and denounced: ' “That fool and others are , talkin' like lunles,” Hitching up his belt ag gressively and staring stonily at the men, he continued: “Th’ agents ain’t ipakln’ day wakes. What we oughter do is to comb tn’ guides for reds an’ forglt th’ agents till th’ really 'portant job is well finished.” Allen was not pleasing to look at, but the vital need of protection from the Sioux won him many- nods of ap proval. Finding his,listeners in sym pathy, he hooked 'his thumbs. In his belt and began: !'Give me fifty well- armed men an’ I'll agree ,to clear out ail th’ redskins from the Belle Fourche to Red Canyon crick.

Allen lowered at him wrathfully. un decided whether to remain as an ac commodation to the, artist or to with draw. v The men suddenly raised a shout of laughter, and Scissors trium phantly. held" up the result ofhis SkflL It was an exceedingly clever carica ture of Allen with the long, ragged hair and bow legs grotesquely accentu ated. “Give me four bits .for It?” asked Scissors, ruffling his thin yellow hair and tentatively offering- the picture to Allen. Roaring an oath, Allen ran his eyes oyer the grinning faces and dropped a, hand on a gun. “Who’s laughin’ at me?” he demand ed, advacing a few steps. The smiles vanished. Standing In front of Scissors, he drew back his fist to drive it into-the simple face. Dinsdale stepped between the two and informed Allen: "I was laughing, too. I’m laughing now.” And he grinned broadly. The men scattered, Allen reached for both guns, but with a flirt of his hknd Dinsdale had him coveted and was saying: “Better keep your hands out of mis chief.” ' Allen controlled. his rage, for the muzzle of the forty-four was most con vincing. “I wasn’t goto’ to use a gun on th’ fool,” he grumbled “He. was makin’ game of me, an’- he oughter be smashed in the face.” Dinsdale slipped the gun into the holster and Informed AUen: “Have It that I made game Ot you. Smash me In the face.” Allen stared at him furiously, but instinct- warned him to be wary. “I ain’t got any fight with you yIL mister. This feller’s a nuisance. You didn’t have no call to bu’st into this game. I’m a poor forgitter.” .. With that he tamed and swaggered to-the door. Dinsdale looked after him thoughtfully for a, moment, then laughed lightly. Sclssbrs felt caUed upon to vindi cate his art, and loudly protested: “Fve made pictures of lots of men In this town, bigger men than Bandy Allen. They never got mad. When I was with the Sioux I made one of old One Stab, who married Red Cloud's daughter. He was so pleased he gave me a rifle. Lots of inen in San Juan Joe’s place buy my pictures. Bandy AUen don’t want to get uppish with me, or i’ll teU Joel “But I’m much iobiiged to you, stranger. You meant well. StIU I don’t think Bandy Alien would have hurt me. Fm wakan witshasha, you know. White men as well as the Sioux, are finding that out” With a duck of -his head £e worked his way through the group and into the street “Who is he?, What is he?” Inquired Dinsdale. The men were eyeing him curiously. A miner Informed him: “Scissors is a natural fool In every thing outside of cutting paper into pic tures' and talkingpolite. He blew into the hills right after'Custer was wiped out. He was caught on the way by some of Crazy Horse’s bucks. Seeing he was foolish they didn’t skin him alive offhand; And when they found out what he could do with scissors and paper they took him to be big medi cine. He can cut out buffalo, elk, bear, any- animal or bird. He can cut out horses on the dead gallop, or a whole string of men fighting, or anything.” “He must have been educated some where before he went foolish,” mused Dinsdale. “He talks well. What’s his real name?' “Don’t know. He’s just Scissors to us, and Two Knives Talking to the In juns. Well,, he's lucky to .one way— he don’t have to pack any guns In his outfit” . ' : : And the miner glanced significantly at Dinsdale’s two big Colts. ; “IJmye to pack guns, and I can use two at once,” Dinsdale informed, him, his face Jjardenlng. “Some of you fellows get the same habit.and there’ll be, fewer Injun killings,”' ■ “An’-YewervStage holdups,” supple mented a voice from the back of- the crowd. “Why, surely, if you know how to use your-guns and have sand enough to take a chance,” agreed Dtosdale. He waited a few momenta to see if others wished to Indulge In innuendo, and .as the men remained silent he returned to the street 'Tm doing well,” he grimly muttered as he aimlessly wandered down - the street. “In town only for a few hours and already I’ve throwit a gun-on a bow-legged scrub—and offered to fight San Juan Joev although the public doesn’t know about that. Reckon Fll dro9 around and see Joe. I owe him some sport , because of the girl, m see If I can’t put him In a better humor.’’ .

He walked on, moodily wondering why he cared because the Colt place was closed ! him. Finally he decided: 'Tt won’t do. I must have some sort of work. If I won’t be a merchant or miner I can be a gambler. Anmsiw seem' to be thought of highly here" It was late afternoon of the day he had met Mrs. Colt when he passed through the entrance of San Jam Joe’s tent. Although U was not the rush hour a considerable number of men were trying their luck at im, roulette and monte. For several minutes Dinsdale songht to locate the proprietor, but was aa- successful. Satisfied he was not In the tent, Dinsdale wandered to the Un layout and placed a few bets, staking greenbacks, to the envy of the other players. He quit the game a hundred dollars winner and without any en thusiasm passed on to a roulette wheel and quickly dropped the gold he hsd won at faro. He smiled aa If pleased when a man exclaimed: 1 “There goes the greenback man!” He was slowly making for the exit when a shrill voice halted him. Be turned to face the grinning Sdsaora The fellow had his paper and scissors In hand, but what made Dlnsdaie'i eyes widen was the great homed owl perched on Scissors’ shoulder. “I want you to meet Sitting Bull,' said Scissors,, reaching up a head to tickle the owl’s head. “Howdy-do; Sitting Bull,” gravely greeted Dtosdale. “Chief, this is the young man I « telling you about. Friend of mine. Ain’t many folks that can tame sa oil and have him like Sitting Bull," S* sors proudly Informed Dinsdale. 'T should say that Is true. No sore trouble with that bow-legged cuss, eh!” Scissors chuckled and Idly snipped out the profile of a swarthy Mexican, big hat and all, and replied: “Allen wouldn’t dare bother me hem I have too many friends among the, customers. Joe lets me circulate around and pick up a living. He wonldn t take kindly to any man trying games on me or Sitting Bull.” He held the silhouette before i Mexican and raised four fingers. ® Mexican gazed with much PleararJ the likeness.

SOME BEST DfSHES This is the time of year when we look for foods to tempt the appetite. A most delicious meal and one which may be stretched to feed several more may be prepared from the following recipe: Chicken Warmein.— Stew a large fat fowl In plenty of water to make a good supply of broth. Bemoye the fowl and cut the meat-. Into bits after removing it from the bones. Into the broth drop nicely iUced celery and cook it until tender, keeping the diced, chicken hot over steam or hot water. Beinove the celery after cooking and then add noodles, cooking until they are done. Wlien serving make a nest of noodles, add some of the celery and on top place the chicken; all should be well-sea soned^ while cooking. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy made from the seasoned brotb. Here is a dainty dessert which is good enough to serve for company r Frozen ’Fruit.—Mix together (two and one-half cupfuls of’sugar and one tablespoonful of flour; add one cup ful of boiling water, stir and cook un til the flour is well cooked. Add the juice of three lemons, three oranges, three mashed bananas and a can of grated pineapple with three cupfuls of cold water. Fold In the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs and freeze as usual. Here Is a cooky that young and old will clamor for: Filled Cookies.—Tq one-half cupful of shortening add one cupful of sugar, one egg, one-half cupful of sweet milk In which a teaspoonful of soda Is dis solved. SIft three and one-half cup fuls of flour with two teaspbonfula of cream of tartar, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and mix well; roll out and cut with a cooky cutter. Put together In pairs with the following filling: Cook one cupful of chopped raisins with one-hnlf cupful of water, one tabie- spoonful of flour and lemon juice to taste, adding a bit of. the grated lemon rind. When thick cool.and use as flll- lng. pineapple.1 On square place a It Is scarcely an exaggeration to say that many matters which agitate the public mind are not worth a. thought In comparison with - dietary questions to which a thought is seldom given. SUMMERY DISHES Now that the fresh fruit and berries are plentiful one may enjoy a variety of fruit combina tions. , Pineapple Turn overs.—Roll pas try thin and cut Into four-inch squares. Drain the sirup from one cupful of grated the center of each tablespoonful of the drained, pineapple and one teaspoonful each of sugar and butter. Moisten the edges of the pastry and fold together In tliq form of ,triangles, pressing the edges firmly together. Fry until brown in deep fat. Drain on brown paper; sprinkle with, powdered sugar and serve immediately. Strawberry Pudding.—Soften two ta blespoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cup ful of cold water; add one and one- half cupfuls of boiling water and stir until the gelatin Is dissolved. Add one-' half cupful of -sugar, one. and one-half cupfuls of strawberries, crushed,-and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Let stand in a cold place until tfie mixture looks creamy, then add two Stiffly- beaten egg whites and poyr the jelly into molds. Serve on squares of sponge cake with cream and sugar and garnish with whole berries. Pineapple Sandwiches.—Cut oblong slices of sponge cake about one-half inch thick. Put together in pairs with a layer of crushed pineappleJjetween.

Frozen Fruit Salad.—Cut six slices of pineapple into small pieces: mix with two cupfuls of strawberries. Stir In one cupful of mayonnaise with one cupful of whipped creatp.

Beat the egg yolks; add the vanilla and salt and fold In the stiffly-beaten Whites: bake one hour. Tvw I THE DAYlE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Stresses Comfort and Style; SleeveileSs Knitted Jacquette OMFORT.and style, these are the two essentials which womanlessentials which .womankind Insists must combine In sports cos tume. In order to insure perfect comfort and freedom of action, stylists have adopted the 'sleeveless mode throughout sports costumes. ' The latest knicker suits are fash ioned with the sleeveless blouse, as the illustration shows. This mOdel is gray and green Scotch tweed. Notice What Is summertime without a sleeveless knitted sweater, or more estbetically ' speaking, a jacquette sans sleeves! Everybody’s wear ing one, or if not, why not, for is there any costume item as indispens able to one’s enjoyment and comfort on golf links,' tennis coprt or any where in the great outdoors as one’s sweater? Especially does one’s sweat er, endear itself to its owner, when It KNICKER s u it w it h s l e e v e l e s s b l o u s e the shallow yoke which contributes so much.to the charm of the blouse. It Is worth while to study this cos tume from the point of its stylish ac cessories. Not a detail is missing to make it a perfect sports ensemble. There is the becoming byron collar, the gay scarlet tie, and particularly is one impressed with the handsome woof sports stockings, rolled at the top with perfect precision. Topping, the entire is a ’ typical’ sports hat which lends a vivid color note in-its bright embroidery. The sleeveless jacket is responsible for bringing the lingerie shirtwaist or blouse, into fashion. Fine dimity Is favored, also pongee silk and very smart shirts are made of white satin, mannish in every detail of cuff, collar and plain buttoned front. Of course blouses of this sort exact the wearing of a silken necktie, and here Is where color and design acknowledge no re striction. Speaking of the knicker suit, the three-piece model—that is the kind which has a detachable skirt—is recom mended, In that it may be adjusted to the time, the place and the event. The knife-plaited skirt or the wrap-around kind may be selected. Often the skirt refuses to be cumbersome In that ft omits sleeves, counting them super fluous In the pursuit of sports. What class distinction exists among sweaters .and jacquette modes! For instance,; at a glance one recognizes that the 1 sleeveless sweater dn ,the picture Is an aristocrat among the sans sleeve type. If prize competing, It would surely have , a ■ blue ribbon pinned upon it. Its color scheme is unusual In that peach pink ornate Atripes are interknit with solid white. This is an outcome of the pronounced vogue for pink, which is featured this year throughout all costuming.

Hospital phy sicians said her condition was serIBuS. Washington.—Calvin Coolidge, Jr., son of the President, died Monday at Walter Reed hospital of blood poison ing. ' The end came after the boy had battled with the utmost bravery and fortictude for five days' against a dis ease which had racked his body with pain and sapped the reserve strength of his fraii constitution. President and Mr3. Coolidge; who had maintained constant vigil at the hospital were at his bedside, hopeful and cheering and comforting their son to the last. Three sinking spells Sunday night brought him to the point of death. ’A slight rally Monday gave slight hope, but soon thereafter he began again to lose ground and he never ral lied again. A sinking spell, the fourth he had suffered in 24 hours, brought death notwithstanding the use eft oxygen and other restortatives -the courage which had withstood crisis after crisis and had beaten death off repeatedly, was unable to meet the final attack. The collapse began at 6:30 o’clock and he gradually sank Into eternity. He died at 10:30 o’clock. The infection developed from' a broken blister on the right foot incur red during a tennis match with his brother John on the White House courts. The poison, however, once started, had spread so rapidly that medical skill was without avail. A number of specialists were called to act with White House physicians on the case and a desperate fight for life was made by the. boy, who struggled in great pain and with high fever. Paris.—The Premiers of France and Great Britain decided upon American arbitration as a way out of their dif ficulties respecting the application of the Dawes plan.

Her- riot, in exchange, agreed to give up France’s preponderance of votes ■ In the commission'. The French statesmen consented that an American be called in to sit with the commission and to vote on the question of whether Germany at any time is failing to carry out her obligations under the plan. Mr. MacDonald gave M. Herriot fur- ther satisfaction respecting the inter allied debts, assuring him that Great Britain would consider the Question with regard for all of the elements bearing upon it. Both agreed to pursue the question of security either through the League of Nations or’ otherwise until a defi nite settlement was reached. The result of the conference be tween the two premiers Is regarded In French circles\as strengthening the Herriot cabinet, and likely to save it fron/ disaster In the senate. It is re marked in opposition circles however, that the abandonment by M. Herriot of French preponderance in the repar ation commission, may prevoke citl- cism. Coolidge Received AU Medical Aid.

P eter D lnsdale, on Hs ivay to the B lack hills to I . ,he throng of E old-seekers. Lakes the acquaintance of th e Wtpfr Ot a Deadwood gam bling house San Juan Joe, w ho Is re- S n g to Deadwood. On th e ir I , through Red Canyon D Ins- J1Ie and Joe hear shots, ap p a r- fntlv far ahead of them . R iding careful^', they m eet a younff woman running from a p arty of Indians. Dlnsdale ta k es h er on Ils I,oi'Ec and the tw o m en ride through her pursuers., k illin g S r a l The girl Is L ottie C arl, and she has no relatives. N ear D eadw ood they overtake a pros- „,clor whom Joe halls as old "Iron Pyrites." A t D eadw ood CiD s.m Juan Joe. popular In the co m m u n ity , is given an en th u si astic welcome, w hich Is extended to Dlnsdale. D lnsdale tells Joe of the robbery of a U nion Pacific train at Ogalala, and th e g am b ler Informs the crowd. Jo e ta k e s Dlnsaale and L ottie to th e house 0< a woman of the tow n, K itty the Schemer, Joe's m istress, nhcre the gam bler had Intended to install Lottie. D insdale re lasts to allow It. and a fte r a so m e w h a t b itte r q u arrel he leaves, taking L ottie to a house where she will be safeguarded, and finding other lodgings fo r himself. D lnsdale saves an ap parently half-w itted Individual, known as Scissors, from m is treatment at the hands of a "bad man," Bandy Allen, w ho vow s vengeance on D inadale. Som e days later D lnsdale again, m eets Scissors, whose nicknam e is de rived from his ab ility to cut, with paper and scissors, rem ark able likenesses of persons, or- anything th a t strik e s h is fancy. Dlnsdale takes to him . CHAPTER IV—Continued. "But !f these gentlemen of the road tew you talked like this they might not like It. They might give you some Iiad Instead of gold,” warned Dlns dale. Scissors’ fatuous face showed much alarm. "Don't you tell them that I've talked,” he begged. ‘Tl! keep my mcruth shut after this. If any of them bear I've talked and speak to you, you just say It isn’t so.” Dlnsdale smiled curiously. "So you’re taking.me for one of then," he murmured.’ Scissors became flurried and backed away from Dlnsdale as If suddenly afraid of him; but he repeated: "Just tell them It isn’t so. Now I must make a picture of ’Horseshoe* Webb, over at the monte table.” A pnuse and a sharp glance at Dfns- dale’s expressionless face; "Hrt very ugly or very good-natured Io bis drinks. Just now he’s good-na tured." With a hasty duck of his head, which tbe big owl seemed to Imitate, he sidled ill way to the monte table, where Horseshoe Webb was twisting: hi* huge black mustache and smiling amiably. Webb wore a gayly-embroldered buck- coat and carried an ivory-handled revolver at the front of his belt From Mow the skirts of the cbat protruded the decorated sheath of a long knife. Dlnsdale shifted his position so that be might study Webb more closely. He' ws large and gaunt of frame, and yet 1,5 very vain. He covered his uncouth 1Pire with the softest of buckskins Md received his name from a horse- sboe of brilliants worn In bis neck 'Mtt And he was Inordinately proud Ms loiu* black mustache. Dlnsdale surveyed him for a minute Wl would have departed had not a flap j* the rear been raised to admit a man. Before the canvas fell back In place Uuisdale glimpsed a door, and for the 1 ,ltne realized there was a wooden Jjmex to the tent.

And I can’t git Joey haired up about It I” “Then you'll go after silver next?” prompted Dlnsdale. Pyrites scratched his nose and wrin kled his brows. ‘Tm a gold miner,” he finally de cided. “Silver's good. I always like to feel Pve got a good sliver ledge back of me for a rainy day. Uebbe I’ll take one more whack at the gold before getting that silver. It’s safe. Nb one else will find it. Going In to see Joey?” “I dropped In to see him, but he’s busy—” "He’s running the private games In there and sitting In a big one. Uses the house for the private games. Per haps you’d- better wait if you ain’t hunting for a big game. His good na ture Just now is like a gash-vein, wide on the surface and tapering away to nothing underneath. Every time he gets back from a trip he’s crazy for a killing.’’ "Maybe I’m feeling hungry for a big game,” said Dlnsdale. Pyrites darted a quick glance and wrinkled his weather face In a grin. "Young blood! Alwaysithe same. Excitement even If they have to play against their own money. Bather rake In five dollars on a pair of jacks than to locate a bonanza mine. Well, If you’re keen to be skinned all you got to do Is to pass through the door and tell the hallboy to hand your name and business. I never touch cards. I don’t like taking risks.” “There wouldn’t be any Deadwood City if It wasn’t for a man’s love of risks,” tightly responded Dlnsdale. He passed under the canvas flap and through the narrow door. There was a long hall with several doors on each side. No voices were to be heard—gold dust was doing all the talking. As Dlnsdale stood irresolute a Chinaman emerged from ,a door at the end of the hall, carrying a tray of glasses. On discovering Dlnsdale he glided forward, his stolid face de manding the intruder’s business. Dlns dale found pencil and paper In his pocket and wrote: 'Tm hankering for' action." Signing It, he directed the servant to give it to San Juan. The Chinaman entered a room on the left and closed tire door behind him. Fully a minute passed—then the servant reappeared and beckoned for Dlnsdale to ap proach. ‘ San Juan Joe and three men were seated at a table. A glance told Dlns dale two things: it was a case of tiger eat tiger, for each of the strangers wore the facial brand of the profes sional gambler. San Juan rose and shook hands coldly. was no Iong- inafliffiiBc iaooooco a eoocooo d 1 “They !Might Give You Some Lead In stead of Gold," Warned Dlnsdale. er the philosophical traveling com panion, but an opponent He greeted Dinsdale with a few laconic words, andddded:."lour message^ says you’re gunning for action.” "Feel O rt of hungry foi It;" con fessed Dlnsdale: “We’ll try to accommodate you. This Is ‘French Curly,’ this Is-, Blit* this Is *BIg Georgel' Gentlemen, this Is Pete Dlnsdale. You know what he’s after,” Sam Jnan introduced. Then to Dlnsdale: “We’re pfavlng a bit stlfE"; and he nulled up a chair for him. (‘It’s the only way,” agreed Dlnsdale as he seated himself and- briefly, studied the jthpasslve faces of the strangers. French Curly held his gaze the Jongest The man was dying of consumption and had death written In his sunken cheeks. He was notori ous for'hls malignance and would go to his death and a nameless grave venomous to his last breafh.^ He lived only for the night and the table. Deprived of cords and his day ’ was don® •• • ■ ' ’“What are we playing. Iorr He asked, his voice scarcely audible; and to show he was In proper form he dropped a heavy bag on the table. Dlnsdale drew a thick package of greenbacks from an Inside pocket, as fresh looking as if direct from the gov ernment press, and placed It before him. The quartette flashed their hawk gaze over the unaccustomed sight of paper money, and French Curly’s bloodless lips drew back like a fam ished animal’s. ‘‘There’s three thousand in that heap. . OUl It table stakes and make It brief,” said Dlnsdale. The four, nodded their approval and reinforced their table cash. No fur ther talk was Indulged In, pantomime and chips sufficing. Dlnsdale played a winner at. the first, then began to meet with reverses. French Curly’s lips became fixed In a snarl of triumph as the greenbacks began their travels, and his breath became choked and dis agreeable to hear. At midnight the last of Dlnsdale's table stakes wer.e swept away by Curly. “That lets me out for the evening,” said Dlnsdale, rising. “Enjoyed my self very much. Suppose I can have my revenge?” “That’s what we’re here for,” said San Juan Joe, beginning to discard the cold deportment of the table. He called the hallboy and after re freshments had been served told Dlns dale: "Cd like to have a word with you In private. You gentlemen will ex cuse me.” Passing down the hall be led Dlns dale Into a room next to the kitchen. Pushing forward a chair he genially said: ‘Tm mighty glad you dropped In, Dlnsdale. I've been Expecting you for two days. If you hadn’t shown up to night I should have sent you a mes sage.” He paused as If undecided just how he would proceed. “Play,” prompted Dlnsdale. “It would be awkward to say It If we hadn’t rode through the canyon to gether. Do you know there’s talk be ing made about you since'I saw yo\) last? Tm afraid, Pete, that Kitty is getting In her work. §he isn’t called the ‘Schemer* for nothing.” “You’re breaking bad news, eh?” "Let’s hope It hasn’t reached the point where we must call it ‘bad.’ But it might be much better. That little devil Jias started talk about you, and others are passing it on. You came here without even a pack-anlmaL You’re connected with no outfit. You don't seem keen to get Into business, or do any prospecting, You’re well heeled, with guns and money. And you arrive In a way that makes you a marked man.” “The hour is late for me, Joe,” yawned Dlnsdale. “Get down to cases:” “You tipped me. off to tell the crowd about the Ogalala holdup, and the crowd knew you passed the word. First ihey had heard of It Then the Sidney stage driver arrives and inside an hour Is bleating about the robbery to the men at the I. X. L. He tells them that the robbers got a large amount of new greenbacks.” Dinsdale blew a ring of smoke and quietly remarked: > “And on top of tipping you about the holdup I gave some greenbacks to Lottie Carl. I understand, Joe, as well as if you talked a month. Folks are wondering. Greenbacks did It. Well, what comes next? You wouldn’t tell me this unless you had something to add.” /- “French Curly will try for another game tonight and, failing, he’ll blow some of his winnings at Kitty’s place. Before morning the town will be tell ing how you lost an enormous amount of money—In new paper money. Well, here is the true word. Get an outfit and go prospecting at once. Make be lieve you’re a. miner. With so many strangers floating In and out a week’s absence may see the loose talk for gotten. Old Pyrites starts in a- day or so on one of his fool trips. Why not go along with him? I’ll pretend I’m tired of grub-staking him and you can take my place and let on you believe al! his yams.” ' “Thanks. That might be good medi cine. Will he agree?”; ; , “He’d take a grubstake'from the devil and old Satan for a pard if no other way . was open to him. Where are you stopping?1! “Bed Bock. Chicken fixings and. flour doings.” The gambler smiled whimsically and applauded: - “Good nerve. Need any money?”' “You didn’t clean me, Joe.” And Dinsdale tapped his breast pocket “The man Curly did something I didn’t like in picking a chip from the floor. I felt I was your guest, so I quit be fore going to a showdown with him. Then again, the.fellow is three-fourths dead already.? t "Dlnsdale, I like you. Curly seldom Is awkward. But you're after my own style. So. you don’t- need > money. Breast pocket,. Must 'be more green-' bsicks.” . “Easier to pack than dust” San -Jutm’s black eyes sparkled In keen appreciation- of the other’s bear ing. ‘‘Words aren’t necessary between us, 'Pete. If it wasn’t for that wom an! It’s in.the cards that.I'll makt.a fool of myself. TIl have a talk with Mayor Faraum. Accidental-like.- 1*11 find out if Kitty has passed a bad word to him, or the city council. Wild Bill’s death makes the situation ticklish.” ; “But folks are saylhg- the gamblers planned that Tm done out of three thousand my first game In town. Can’t brand me as much of a gambler.” "I drop,” surrendered San Juan. “But I feel that you and I ought to have another talk—one that might lead to you getting some work—highly paid work.” “The only kind that would interest me, J ob. PU think over the prospect ing proposition. Perhaps I’ve made a mistake In being too free with green backs and not - going to work. But work hates me.” "You’ll make no mistake In listen ing to my next talk.. It’s work that’ll suit you fine.” This ended their conversation. Each had refused to speak plainly, yet each was working toward the point where he could talk plainly.. San Juan re turned to the card room and Dlnsdale passed out Into the big tent Keeping close to the canvas wall he avoided the congestion around the dif ferent games and gained the open space. He glanced, over the assem blage and finally focused his gaze on the bar. Then be advanced to the side of Horseshoe Webb and Invited: “Have another little touch of trouble?” “Who the h—I are you?” viciously growled Webb. It was plain he- had entered the dangerous stage In his drinks. "I’m the galoot that’s Just been done for three thousand In greenbacks and yet has something left for the bottle,” Dlnsdale murmfored. Webb’s drunken malevolence slowly died out and he stared thoughtfully at Dlnsdale. “Huh. I'll drink Wltht you,” he mumbled. '> After bolting his drink Webb slyly remarked: “You tote a likely lot of paper money round with you, I reckon.” “Always like to be well heeled—with money and guns.” Webb tugged at his mustache and furtively studied Dlnsdale’s profile. “Have another,” he grunted. | • ‘‘Thanks. But not tonight We’ll make It on demand. I must be golug.” As he strode to the exit he could fee! Webb's gaze boring Into his back. As he stepped Into the darkness of the street a hand touched his arm and caused his own hand to close on a gun. Two round .yellow eyes were blazing at him. The voice of Scissors addressed him, and be knew the eyes belonged to tbe big owl. . “Got my two ounces,” exultlngly whispered Scissors. “That satisfies me some of the Ogalala gang is 'In the tent tonight.” “You'd better keep that talk to your self,” shortly warned Dlnsdale.! “And keep away from that man "Webb. He's feeling ugly.” "Oh, I know when to catch him. Scissors knows when to get them. He’s wakan witshasha. Old Sitting Bull here knows more’n most humans. I can. tell by his eyes whether to go ahead or draw back.” “ He’s telling you now to shut off that talk about train robbers being In town,” Dlnsdale sternly warned him. "That talk is poor medicine.” As he walked away he could hear Scissors chuckling and mumbling. CHAPTER V A Bad Break for Dlnsdale. In a dark room at the back of a Chi nese washhouse several men sat In silence, waiting. Then the Mongolian stationed oujtslde the door raised a sing-song voice: and was answered briefly In Chinese. The group In the room straightened to attention. Some 'one crossed the room and drew tbe In side bolt The door opened, but even had there been a light the Inmates of (he room would have beheld a figure so heavily muffled as to defy recognition. As it]was, no man could see his neigh bor. “Who comes?” softly demanded the man who had admitted the other, men. "The one who always comes last. Number One.” “We are ready for your talk," an nounced the-first speaker, returning to his chair. t - “How are you known?” 'asked Num ber One. “The one who always comes first to the meeting place. Number Two.” “Whom have you admitted?” “Three; Four and Six” “Five?” “Unreliable tonight ■ Drink.’’ “Unreliable this, night from drink, he jvlU be unreliable on other and more important nights,” salij Number One. “He should be dropped from'the rolls even as we have threatened to drop him twice before this. He .might send us all to the noose. How do you vote?” There was a sllght pause, then In se quence the different voices called out: "Two.” > ' ,“Three.". “Four.” ■ “ • "Sli.""One. It Is unanimous. How shall It be best done? He must have no chance to talk.” ' ■ “If it can be left for me, Number Two, to arrange.” ' ' “It Is left for you to arrange^ within forty-eight hours/’ ruled Nuiiber One.. ■•Now let, us finish quickly. None of us Is satisfied with, the results.. Only 'fif teen thousand' taken .'from tbe 3tages within the last six weeks. Passsngers have been warned at Cheyenne and Sid ney to bring but Uttle money ...in on their persons. , The horse-ranch, even, Is better paying. There is but one job In the hills that Is worth while—one of .the treasure-coaches. .One coach cap tured,means.at least two hundred thou sand 'dollars, perhaps two hundred and gfty thousand.' And tig time soon comes when it will be useless to try for Sudiaprize." “Then let’s get the next'one to go out. It's, been held over and will carry a full load,’’ eagerly said Number Two. "First, we’ve got to have more men,” croaked a harsh voice. uWe ain’t strong enough to handle twelve guards and get away with the bunion.” "Number Three, you speak' only' a half truth,” corrected the leader. ""We have enough men. it’s too late to tike In new hands.- -But we can’t handle a dozen until we plan to place our men to the best advantage. Then It wfll be simple. We must have at least two of our men among the guards, thus cut ting their number down to ten “Two of the regular guards will get through just before tbe coach makes the trip. Two of our men must at once ask for Jobs as guards. The time wlU be too short for the management to hesitate. Number Three wlU be one of the men. Number Fouc shall be the other man. In brief the plan Is this: “The da; and spot being known, Ntnnber Three must ride ahead with the a'dvance guard. Number Four Then the Mengollan Stationed Outside the Door Raised a Sing-Scpig Voice. must be one of the eight riding beside; the coach. When Number Three gets opposite our ambush he should be out of sight of the coach, as the ambush will be beyond a bend In the road! He will strike his man down.. We In am bush-will pull the fellow out of the road and take care of his horse. Num ber Three will ride back a .bit and sig nal for one of the coach guards to join him. If more than one rides up, all the better. This guard, or guards, must be disposed of quietly as was the first We ln ambush will help, using the noose If possible. Their holrses must not be frightened and must be se cured In the woods. At the very least we will have, cut down the number of guards to eight, with but seven by the coach, one of these being Number Four. Number Three will wait oppo site the ambush until the coach comes j up. He and Number Four win take the six guards by surprise, covering them with four six-guns. We In am bush will Instantly, fake a' hand and secure the six. Ttoee and Four will then gallop back to meet the two rear guards and take them by surprise. I already have a safe cache for the bul lion. T h is is the plan In outline. Any suggestions or questions?” “The only drawback is that Three and Four will be marked men,” spoke up Number Two. “Bad for us on the inside less we settle the hash of the ten,” grumbled Number Three'. “That would be going It tOo strong,” protested Number Four, with a shiver In his voice. Number One sharply said: “Both Three and Four are already wanted for murder. One In Idaho; the other In Nevada. Yet they live here In Deadwood City and move about openly. Once we get'the treasure we will scatter. The hlUs game Is nearly played out Let others stay and pick up the crumbs and a rope.” “Seems as If I was getting the hot. end ^of the poker,” growled Number Three. “Might as weU sentence me to death and be done with it," bitterly com plained Number Four. “Rewards are offered for both of you and you haven’t done a scaffold- dance yet,” grimly repUed tbe leader. “A swift horse, a change of stamping- grounds, a new name, and with forty or fifty thousand dollars to blow you’d be fools to be caught But If either of- you refuse to play the part I pick for you, say so now.” . There was an' uneasy shuffling of feet, but the threat concealed but poor ly In the leader’s vfords was fully un derstood. ‘Tm gome,” muttered Number'Four. “I never squealed yet,” snarled Number Three. “$hen that’s settled, and woe to the’ man who tries to back down,” said the leader.^ “Anything else?” “I Iiave a suggestion to' make,” spoke up Number Two.. “Let Three and Four draw lots to see .who shaU take' the inside job and leave the second place vacant untU I can try to secure another man for the second guard. ' It doesn’t' much matter what happens to him after the job is finished. He Will, know: nothing about the rest of you, and if, by any chance he is captured there'will be nothing he can teU.” . Both Three and Vour were eager to accept any scheme which would giye one 'oif them a chance to 'dodge the dangerous position* of coach guard. Both proclaimed their satisfaction and wished the lbt-drawlag to be conduct ed on the spot / .V .'■ ' - Numoer one saia: "No lights to be shown at our JltQp meetings. W e. must remember tfi* rules. Lots may- be drawn Withla a few days If .we decide to adopt Num ber Two's plan. I rely on his Juig- ment I win talk with him about fth new plan, of his. But until I have de? elded, the first order stands and there wlU be no drawing of lots. Youi will now wait the usual time before leaving the Toom.” WhUe this secret conference was b*- Ing held—and the hour was yet early, for Deadwood's night life—Dlnsdale was forgetting San Juan Joe's wont ing of the night beforehand was busily making local history. He began in “Keno” Frank’s place. The moment Dlnsdale entered the hall be drew the attention of all. Even those placing their bets took time to glance at the “greenback man.” The story of his game at San Juan's place was com monly known, thanks, much to Frendi. Curly’s advertising; only Us losses were said to have been twenty thou sand. Curly was at the faro table, losing his poker winnings, when Dlns dale entered and. bruskly walked to the bar and Invited the house to JoIp him. Because of his losses Curly was more venomous than usual, If that be possible. He fingered his few remain ing chips and stared at Dlnsdale, con vinced, It was a personal misfortune that the newcomer should throw away money which might so easily be taken from him at cards. The “greenback man” had forgotten his losses at San Juan's place, or else they were imma terial to him, and now was In a rare humoi. Carelessly throwing more money on the bar he directed that drinks be served again to aU who might care to partake. .The accept ance was general. French Curly could endure the spectacle no longer. He rose and saun tered to the bar and took a position beside Dlnsdale, his cadaverous face attempting to assume a genial expres sion. Dlnsdale smiled genially and In vited: “Name It” “No, thanks,” declined Curly, his eyes eagerly watching the hand dip ping into the breast pocket for more paper money. 'IBut what say to a Uttle game In Frank's room?” “This Is my drinking night. I never mix cards with liquor,” laughed Dlns dale. “A man of'splrlt finds one time as good as another." “So he does; and tomorrow Is as good, as today. But if you're hanker ing for action I’ll cut the deck for a thousand a cut; any one of the men here to shuffle the' cards for us,” lightly countered Dlnsdale.. “Cutting tbe deck doesn’t call for much brain work, and luck’s with me tonight” .. French Curly began to lose his evil temper. Heads were twisting, neck* were craning' as Dlnsdale’s reckless offer was'made; and the gambler— willing to stake his soul on a game of chance—had no thousand dollars to risk,-nor any respectable portion of that .sum. Had the Invitation to th« small room been accepted he had planned to borrow money from Keno Frank. . With a sneer on his poUld face he said: “You’U need lots of luck. You'll do well to stick to luck.” “Especially after I find a game ia' crooked,” loudly retorted Dinsdate “What, was you doing at that side table, when you pretended to be Using the gold scales?" Those who had emptied their glasses gently replaced them on the bar. Those about to drink postponed the ceremony, and there was a general withdrawal to the opposite side of'the room. French Curly wet bis pale Ups and quietly said: "You’U explain those words if you can. If you can’t you’ll eat them.” Dlnsdale tossed off his drink and laughed- vacuously and retorted: "Then I prefer explaining. Some thing happened In the game last night I didn’t like.'I let it pass, as I didn’t want to raise a row In Joe's place thfe first time I was there. (It was,w#en you stooped and picked up a chip and placed it on the table beside the Uttle gold scales.” ."Meaning I worked something crooked?" hissed French Curly. VDemed If you haven’t hit It dead center! Have a drink.” / “Swallow It I” curtly commanded the gambler, pulling a large bore der ringer from a side coat podcet With a movement so. quick that none could follow It Dlnsdale knocked the derringer to tbe floor. French Curly dlyed to recover It, but snarled in fear and threw blmself backward' as a bullet struck the floor under the weapon and jumped it to the cen ter of the room. Then with both guns working alter nately Dlnsdale caused the derringer to spin and hop toward the door* the shots coming almost together and each.- furthering the flight of the weapon. “Look out!” some one howled. . He whefeled In time to behold Frendi Curly half over the bar and reaching for the bartender's gun. “Quit IV calmly commanded Dlns dale, walking toward.hlm. “You didn't count right.

T> -Cr-Cr THE TICKET FOR PrESID-ENT John W.Davis.of West Virginia FOR VICE PRESIDENT Chas. W. Bryan, of Nebraska By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON Convention Hall, New Xort- Ala bama easts t-w-e-n-t-y—f-o-u-r votes for Oscar \V. U-ii-d-e-r-U'-o-o-d!" For one hundred and three times the great hall had rung with that shout. Sev^ enty-seven times up to Saturday night, and It started again on Monday morn ing, for the committee that had been named on Saturday for the purpose of effecting some sort of a compromise between the contending candidates had been unsuccessful, and there seemed to be no hope for a solution of the difficulties In which the Democ racy of the nation found itself. But the break came at last, and on the one hundred and third ballot John W. Davis of West Virginia was named as the' standard-bearer of the party. His selection marked the conclusion of the greatest fight In American polit ical history. It was followed by the selection of Gov. Charles \\. Bryan, of Nebraska, for second place on the ticket, and the history-making gather ing was at an end, after being In ses sion for 16 days. . Monday, July 7, was a day of false hopes, v At the close of the eighty- second hailot a resolution was adopt ed releasing the delegates from any instructions, and that was expected to bring about a. break* It did, but it did not result In a nomination. It brought the McAdoo vote tumbling from 511 to 333 when the convention adjourned at night.Tuesday brought . no ray of hope. In the afternoon Governor Smith and Mr. McAdoo got together, but .. Mr. McAdoo refused at that time to re lease his delegates, and Governor Smith would not withdraw so long as Mr. McAdoo remained in the race. The fruitless balloting continued through the day session, and up to the ninety- ninth, completed at 2:15 Wednesday morning. At that time Mr. McAdoo released his delegates, and on . the one hundredth ballot his vote dropped to 180. After that ballot the convention adjourned until noon on Wednesday to an effort to get together on some dark horse.The one hundred and first, and the one hundred and second ballots did not Indicate anything more than the elimination of both .Smilh and McAdoo from the race. Alabama, leading the roll' call of states, continued to cast Its 24 votes for Underwood, but there ■was a drift in both ballots to Davis. On the one hundred and third ballot Alabama again started off with “24 votes for TJnderwood,” but it was soon demonstrated that Davis was going strong. Before the ballot was com pleted he had more than a majority, and then; the delegations began chang ing their votes in order to get into the band wagon. Before the result of the ballot was announced it was moved to make the nomination- by ac clamation. and it went through with a •whoop, to be followed by'a-demonstra tion lasting several minutes. The night session o f. Wednesday, following the nomination of a candi date for the Presidency,’ was.In the nature of a Democratic lovefeast. It was addressed, by. Governor Smith, Governor Cos, the Democratic nomi nee,-Mr- Davis, and several others. At, midnight the convention recessed for one hour, at the end of the recess one ballot w;is taken for. the vice presi dential nomination,, and the conven tion adjourned shortly before. three o’clock Thursday morAing. , " The contestii^the Democratic con vention broke' all recoirds and all pre cedents. The greatest nuiiiber of bal lots that had evfer . beeh cast' Iii h po litical conventidn jfefore was tli!it of the Democratic party in' 1S60 , at Charleston, when 57 ballots ^vere "cast In that 'city,Tapa,'the contention: was then adjoiirriei'ftp1 Baltimbre1 where {wo additional b'aUots' w'ejere sulting In A.

Back of it all, lay the shadow of the Elan. -JThe fight over the Kian plank in the platform had engendered an Intense .feeling on the. Tiart of the two contending factions,, the - one led by Govemor SinIth and the^other by Mr, McAdoo. When on Monday,. June 80 , the -first ballot was taken, It <r W / CfiarleJ3WSiydT^. showed Mr. McAdoo with the greater number of. votes, but with Governor Smith controlling .directly or indirest- Iy at least tt good third of-the. dele gates. Neither of .the' two leaders could be nominated' unless the. other gave way, or unless one could break the seemingly solid phalanxes of the other. It was under, such conditions that both took personal command of their forces Instead of leavingHfie di rection of the campaign in the hands of their managers. Others in Limelight * Aside from the two leaders there were, as serious contenders for the nomination. Senator Ralston, backed by the solid Indiana delegation; Sen ator GIass1^backed by Virginia; John W. Davis, backed by West Virginia; Es-Govemor Cox, backed by Ohio; Senator Saulsbury, backed by the six votes of Delaware; Governor'Ritchie, Backed by Maryland; Senator Under wood, backed by Alabama. Other favorite sons that had been entered In the big race dropped by the way side, bnt those named above stuck for ballot after ballot, with their managers expecting that some one of them would eventually be picked as the compro mise candidte., They realized the in tense feeling that had arisen between the opposing camps of the leaders, and did not believe It good political strategy fa side with either, each one hoping that In the end their candi date might'draw from both sides when the break came. On the part of the two leaders ev ery plan known In political campaign ing was used to. influence delegates. There was an abundance of the usual demonstrations, long and noisy. There were dire threats and earnest plead ings to attract support. Those dele gations that were not directly . in structed,’ or not definitely committed to some one. candidate, would occasion ally switch to or from one or the oth er of_ the leaders. This was especial ly true aB it applied to Mr. McAdoo, and because of this his vote fluctuated from a little over 400 to as high as 530. Governor ,Smith’s vote remained more nearly stationary at between 315 and 368, but that and" others that would go to him on a break, was enough to prevent a nomination of any other candidate. - On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Bryan, asking for consent to explain his vote as a member of the Florida delegation, attempted to stampede the convention for McAdoo, but it did not succeed, and the monotonous round of ballots continued without material, change. On Friday afternoon, after 66 ballots had been taken, an effort was made to suspend the rules and permit the leading candidates to ap pear In person before the .convention.' It was opposed largely by th^ McAdoo delegates and failed of the needed two-thirds vote. Then Franklin D. Roosevelt asked that the convention extend an invitation to the Democrafc Ic governor of New York to address the delegates. Again It meant a sus pension of the riites, and while, the move was cleverly made, arid re fusal would put the. convention In the position of being discourteous to Its Democratic .host, it, too, was voted down. .Wlthout-Such an invitation no candidate could get a personal hear ing. Friday evening Mr. McAdoo sent a letter to the convention asking that the delegates give unanimous consent for Governor Smith, to address them. Several objections were made, and the consent was not given. Again a clev er political move had failed. • Outside of, the convention hall the leaders of the .party, those not im mediately connected with the candi dacy 'of the two leading candidates, were making strenuous efforts to break the deadlock and patch up the. differences. the fight had aroused. They pleaded, they commanded, they tried to get the other candidates to withdraw that the leaders might soon determine just where they stood in n final analysis, but without success. And then on Friday afternoon Sen ator Ralston wired'a withdrawal. of■ JiIs name,* and his delegation spilt 20 for McAdoo and XO for Cox. A jSttle later ex-Govemor Cox did the; same thing; and the Ohio delegation switched, over to ex-SecretarytBsiker. A. solution had not been found. On Saturday the Ohio -delegation dropped Baker- and'split between va rious candidates, giving ■ Governor Smith 21 votes, the o t h e r s. going to those In the “also ran’.’ class. •' Gave Credit to Oemocrata It was very evident that the keynote speaker, Senator Pat Harrison of Mis sissippi, iyas riot favorably 4mp»essed with the Republicans and: W h a ti they had been doing during the, past three years, and, he did .not hesitate to say* so In plainly understandable terms. In -the main he centered.on tlie vari ous investigations and what, he said. I. were the results achieved. For those acts of congress to which he" could give approval he claimed full credit for the Democratic party and what he referred to as the progressive ele ment In the Republican party. For the majority element In, the Republican party he had ifo single word of com mendation. But no one was very much surprised at ail of that, as no one had expected him to commend the enemy. That was not what he was there to do. Even Congressman The odore Burton, the Republican keynoter at Cleveland, who attended the Demo cratic show as a guest, did not seem to take any serious offense at what was said about himself, and his Re publican colleagues. It did not seem that Senator Har rison had overlooked anything that could- be said In opposition to the Re publicans, but along came the perma nent chairman, Senator Walsh, on Wednesday, June 25, with , a new list of charges, or at least a new vocabulary... While he spoke the sun. streamed down upon the glass roof of the convention hall and turned it into a bake oven, but his' denunciation of the political en emy caused the delegates to forget, for the time, their differences over platform planks and favored candi dates. They shed coats and, In many cases, collars as well; they displayed black and green and,blue “galluses,” and despite the h#at enjoyed to'the full everything the leader of the, oil investigations gave them as first-hand information. For it all they paid him to the full In convention coin—a long, a loud, a terrific demonstration. When the delegates assembled on Saturday morning, June 28, if was with the expectation that they would receive the report of the ■ resolutions committee. But that was not to be. For 80 long, and almost continuous hours the committee,- headed- byJEtomer S. CumtpIngs,. had labored over ;lts task, and the stumbling blocks .,It had struck were Klan and Xeague of Na tions. On the latter subject Ex-Secre tary of War Baker was leading the fight to a straight-away declaration In favor Qf the League, and, would be satisfied with nothing less, but he was In the minority. That did not repre sent a serious situation for the party, but the other subject, that of the Klan, did. There seemed to be no grounds upon which to compromise, and at the end of 80 hours of labor the venerable leader, William J. Bryan, dropped to his knees In the committee room and asked the members of. the committee to join with' him in asking Divine guidance In their hour of .diffi culty. ' - The resolution Mr. Bryan favored, and for which he had wojrked through the long hours, contained a 'plank on the subject, of religious liberty,^ and condemning secret orders that were opposed to the provisions of- the Con stitution, but It did not name the Klan. That was the plank that was written into the majority report of the committee. But it was not satisfac tory to a-, large element In the party. Governor Smith announced that he would withdraw from the contest' for the nomination if the party attempted, to. straddle the subject. Wiiliam R. Pattangall, Democratic candidate for governor of Maine-; ,Bainbridge Colby of New Jersey, former secretary of staae; Joseph A. Kellogg of New York, were, among other leaders that were backing Governor Smith and his fol lowing. Fight Over Platform j The-committee did not report until after three o’clock Saturday~35ternoon, and then they gave to the convention both a majority and minority , report on these two planks. The threatened dissension in the party had been car ried from the committee into, the con vention to be fought out ‘on the floor. The League plank was the first point disposed Of. Ex-Secretary Baker made an Impassioned appeal for the minority' report, and for. two hours the subject was debated, but in the. end: the con vention voted 353 to 742 in favor of the majority. The same people who had foflght for a definite denunciation of the Klan in the resolutions - committee led the fight for Uiat when It. was taken to the .floor of the convention. William Jennings Bryan, and Senator Owen of Oklahoma - igade the appeal for tlie adoption of .the majority report. Mr. Bryan, ^in pleading for such a planfp as would, In his belief, lnsnre party unity, Bald: “The Catholic ‘ church does not need the defense of any po litical party, and the Kuj Klux inan does not deserve the advertising/’ At the close of two hours of intense de- Jvle ?°W of the states was called and the vote resulted <in 539 for the mtnorjty. report and :- S43 against ; It, By the close margin .of four votes i)e-' mocracy failed to mention . this Klan by name In i ^ platform. < INDUSTRIAL CURTAILMENT HER ALDiS BUSINESS READ JUSTMENT. S Washington.—An important read justment of business conditions char acterized by decreases In industrial and trade activity and lower prices was declared by the Federal Reserve board to be under way throughout the United States. ' Tiie board, called attention to re duced earnings by industrial work ers with a consequent curtailment In their buying power' and sharp de creases in production. The lowered prices have carried to , every com modity except food which reinains almost unchanged. “The cosiderable expansion of production during the early months of 1924,” the board said, “was fol lowed by important curtailment in certain industries, in response to a lessened colume of current pur chases and a hesitancy on the part of the manufacturers'’ in placing for ward orders. In fact, there has ■been • in frecent moffths- a larger de crease in-production of certain com modities than in their current con sumption, and in consequence stocks of these commodities have been re duced. “The recession in business activi ty have slumped since April by ai decreased demand for commercial purposes. and this, together with the. continued inflow) of golcf imports, has brought about an unusual ease in the money market. The' decrease in the volume of . commercial bor rowing, however, has been less than the additional purchases of Invest ments by commercial banks so that the total of member-bank credit in use not only is larger than at the beginning of the year, hut larger than in any previous period.” Twoi Men Killed at Fort Bragg Fayetteville.—Two enlisted men of the first observation battery at Fort Bragg were electrocuted and three others were seriously injured in ans.accident of a most unusual na ture which occured at that post. The tragedy is thought to have been caus ed by jumping of. electric cur rent from a high power wire to in sulated telephone wires which were being used by the men to steady a galvanized iron pipe at the end of a flag pole on an observation tower. The dead are." Corporal Ernest Brynildsen, '25, of Glendale, Calif.,> and Prlyalte HerbeTt: N. W ard,.' 20 207 Statesville avenue, Charlotte. The injured are; Weaver J. Farmer,- 22, private first class, of Asheville, badly burned about the back, John Pearce, 20, private, first class, of New Bern, fcadly. burned about the body; Charles A. Whlse- nant, 23, private, of Morganton1 bunrned about the arms. All the Injured men will recover, it was said at the station hospital, where they were rushed im m Iy after- the accident and given Med ical attention. Sergeant Ira Hinton, of the .ob servation battery, was slightly shock ed, but suffered no serious injury. Private Ward and Corporal Bry nildsen'werd killed instantly. They were on the platform at the top of the wooden scaffold holding the gal vanized pipe which was being added to the length of the flag pole, when the current shot through the wires into the pipe; The shock caused the'men to relax their hold on the !!•on piping, and it fell across the high tension wires nearby, sending the full force of the current through their bodies and ^causing instant death.

It other words, it is likely. to meet with a similar approval to that manifested by a minister of tne gospel about which the following story is told: A deacon in a certain rural church was . admonished by . hi$ wife before leaving for service one; Sunday morning not to. bring the preacher home for dinner, because nothing had been prepared for the occasion. After^the sermon, ‘the deacon stood around hoping some other brother would invite the par-: son, who lived miles away and had driven the long journey in a buggy, to dine with him that day, but no body extended the invitation. Fin- all v, the deacon decided that it wouldn’t do to let the pastor take that long ride back- home without dinner and so he asked him home withjhim, anyway. Upon approach- iug jhe deacon’s home:.'the., deacon- seated tfte~preacher ' in" th<;' parlor^ and Went to the cook room to break; the news gently to. the wife, who1 replied: Didn’t I tell you not to' bring that preacher' here today— we've got nothing for dinner.”.- Oh, well;”.said the deacon, some ham arid cut the watermelon.” “That’s the mischief bbout-it,”.re- tortod the wife, “I’ve already cut the watermelon and poured brandy over it.” In. his perplexity, the deacon replied, 'vWell, maybe the preacher won’t direct it.” After dinner had been served and the watermelon brought out gs a desert, everybody was busily engaged de vouring its delicious meat when the deacon cut his eyes up at the min ister to see how-he was taking it, and Io and behold, the preacher was eating with one had and put ting the seed in his packet with the other.—Ex.>" ' —;—r— Just Nerves.

One of the most persistent adver tisers in the history of success was Robinson Crusoe. He knew whathe wanted—a ship—and he put up an ad for one. He fiuhg-a shirt on the top of his island, that, in the lan guage of the eea, was plain to every sea-faring man. The circulating was small—there wa3 no other medium but Grusoe kept at it, despite the fact that he got no inquiries for a long time. He changed his copy—as one garment after another was frayed' out—and in the end got where he wanted. Suppose Crusoe had taken down that siKnal after a time and declared Advertising doesn’t 1 ay.” Where he would he and his story be now? Put up vour signal and keep it there- - Crusoe advertised under very discouraging circumstances.

He was afraid that the rich men from the north would rush down and build alotof cotton millsand when they looked around for hands to run. the mills, there wouldn’t be enough so 'they would send to Europe and bring in a bunch of foreigners ’ to run the mill. • I feel sorry I r 1 fe I iw tl at is 0 narrow minded that he doesn’t warn i 1.4 state to expand, don’t you?- I don’t want trie foreigners either, but I am willing to let them built a I the mills they want to, and the. em- ploymentsituation will take care of itself So don’t be discouraged go on boosting the old Noith State. Speaking of progress, I never will forget th<5 time when I eat on the front porch of my grandfather’s home in Augusta, Ga., just twenty five years ago. Grandfather was telling me of the great progress the world was making and how bad peo ple were. (Yes, they thought people wete bad a quarter of a centuiy Ugo) He predicted that I would see the day when the ladies would carry their clothes in their purse and wear nothing more than their corsets. Hecame dang near being right, only they don’t wear the cor sets now. If grandfather had look ed over one of our modern bathing beauties, what Would have be pre dicted.

How about all of these heathens in China?- The religion of Buda is prac tically nothing but the GeIden .Rule; so those folks would be lost, - !don’t believe they will be. for I think if a heathen is devout in what he .thinks is right and practices what he be lieves, that he will not go to hell.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE - *10® SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE^ - * 50 THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE * 25 No, there was nobody drunk and no fights in the Republican county convention last week. We can’t say this much for the democratic national convention.____ William J. Bryan says that John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for president is wet, and that he will not do for president. Can Bryan vote for a wet man. He says he can. _________ The democrats of Illinois have nominated Earl B. Dirkerson, a negro, for congressman, and the Charlotte Observer says the de mocrats think he will be elected. Now, dearly beloved democrats of North Carolina, what do you think of that? The gentlemen ki various sections of the county who have auy grie vances against what was done and who did it at the county conven tion, are requested to interview the big four. They can usually be found somewhere around the heart of Mocksville, Advance or Farming ton. The Charlotte Observer, which by no means is a prayer book, says many negroes are leaving the Re publican party and turning to the Democratic party. And yet some of the Aus Watts stripe of Demo crats are always yelling nigger at the North Carolina Republicans. Many of Winecoff’s friends in sisted that he run for treasurer after receiving the nomination last week but for some reason George de cided that he had rather Stone- street would defeat VanZant. Poli tics is a funny business after all. and many folks never live long enough to learn the inside work ings of the game. The Republicans of Davie coun ty are not giving The Record the support that it deserves. There are hundreds of Republicans in the county who do not take the paper. This is the only Republican paper printed between Winston Salem and AslievilIe ou the Southern rail road and the Republicans not only in Davie but throughout this entire section "should support the paper with their subscriptions and moral support. The farmers in various sections of the state have been hit hard this year by tlie heavy’ rains, hail and wind storms that have visited the state. We notice that some of the Mecklenburg farmers appeared be fore their board of commissioners and asked that they be relieved of their taxes this year, having lost practically all of their growing crops from hail. Ai small section of Farmington tOflfcship was hit hard by a hail storm seyeral weeks ago, but up to this time Davie has been fortunate along this line. The excessive rains and high waters have done some damage to crops, especially to wheat, but with fair weather the farmers will come out oh top as usual. It is hard to keep a working man down. ’ The Record isnot going to put up a ffght against any of the Re publican nominees for office. So far as. we can learn they are ,all good men. There is some ques tion as to the whys and wherefores of certain thingsy.that took place before the primaries but that can not be 'helped now. The editor may not split his last good shirt for certain fellows who have never done anything fpr the party, but when voting time comes we will try to be in a position to apologize for any thing we said or done that will be detrimental to the best interests of. the county. - r t K. L. Cope, of Cooleemee, who received the nomination for.sheriff on the Republican ticket is well known throughout the county. He is a young man that will appeal to the voters of all sections. He ser ved his country during! the World War in France and has a record that any man should be proud of. He is a leader in church work in his town and is vvell liked by men in botn'parties. A Democraticlady living in his community remarked a short time ago that he was oneot the best men in Cooleemeeand was also one of the best Sunday .school and church workers that she knelv. . Mr. Cope will make a strong race for.sheriff, and it is be lieved by many that his majority will exceed that of any other can didate in the field this year.

MR PRESSURE CAUSES DEATHS CASUALTIES INCREASED BY PRE SENCE OF UNOFFICIAL OBSERVERS Washington.^—The turret explosion aboard the battleship Mississippi off the California coast line June 12 Iu which 44 men and three officers were killed, resulted from insufficient air pressure used in cleaning the bore of the big gun, according to findings of the naval court of inquiry. The fire in the upper handling room the court said in its findings announ ced, was“caused by the safety doors not being-entirely closed,” and casual ties were increased by the presence of unofficial observers “who crowded the passageways, m aking exits more difficult.” The court made no recommenda tions, its report being confined solely to findings of fact. Secretary W ilbur and his technical staff have taken the document under study ,to determine w hether there should be further, ac tion in connection with failure to comply with regulations requiring that safety doors in turrets be closed during firing operations and also with regard to the presence of unauthpriz-" ed persons in the turret. Summarizing the report the de partm ent gave the following as “facts” establihed by the court: “At about 11:45 a. m .,.June 12, 1924, the U. S. S. Mississippi while firing advanced practice B, together with the Tennessee and Idaho, suffered a casualty in the right gun of No. two turret which resulted in the death of three officers aqd 44 (or 45) men and the injury, of nine other men. About four hours later the left gun of No. two turret was accidentally discharg ed and 10 additional men were injur ed, “The 10 additional men appear to have been injured while standing out-, side the turret and by the blast of the gun. The entire turret crew were kill ed with the exception of two men from the right gun, five men from the center- gun and two men from the left gun by the original casualty. There were a number of observers both of ficial and unofficial in the turret, some of whom escaped. “All who escaped did so by means of the exits into the lower handling room. The entrance doors underneath the overhang of the turret opened up ward and apparently could not be op ened-in tim e to perm it escape. En sign Smith entered the turret by. pry ing open one of the doors under tile overhang about 15 m inutes after the casualty occured. The gases were so thick that he was able to rem ain in the turret only a few minutes.

TO T INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMIS SION REFUSES VALLEY STATES’ APPEAL. . W ashington.—Iteductions in western railroad rates on grain, grain products and hay, sought by 10 states of the Mississippi-Missouri Valley cereal growing region under the leadership of Kansas and supported by m ost farm organizations > concerned, were definitely ( refused by the interstate commerce commission. At the same . time the commission decided that the results of an inde pendent, investigation it had conduct ed into the level of rates on these same products In all sections of the United States had demonstrated no* need for any changes, and proceed ings before it bearing upon both is sues were dismissed. Railroad earnings in the western region from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes and js&uth- as.far as Texas would have been reducedjabout 817,500,000 annually had the conten tion of the producing states been granted. The commission held the financial status of the carriers did not justify the step, while in general it held that the financial condition of the western grain farm ers was showing a slow improvement, relieving them of the necessity for the reduction; . A sharp dissent was recorded with in the commission over the views of the majority, Commissioners McChord, McManamy, Eastm an, Campbell and Lewis for various stated reasons re fusing to follow the majority. The rates affected by the decision are those applied to w heat growing territory where it constitutes the most troublesome and controversial problem before the interstate com merce commission in recent years. The states which led in the presenta- tlon of the complaint denied were Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma, Mis souri, Minnesota and Louisiana. Ad Finish Conference.

CONFERENGE LOOKS HOPES AMERICANS WILL BE ABLE TO HELP EUROPE OUT OF DISASTER. London. —? The importance with ,which the European powers view America’s participation in the inter allied, conference on the Dawes report on German reparations was clearly in dicated during the deliberations of the delegates of 10 nations, whom the British prime minister, Ramsey Mac Donald, formally welcomed them at the foreign office. Mr. MacDonald extended. a special welcome to the American representa tives, Ambassador Kellogg and Col. Jam es A- Logan, jr. He remarked that America’s mind Illuminated the TDawes report, which had brought the delegates together, and he hoped that the Americans, although only official spectators, ‘ would be able to help Uie Europeans put of the wrecks and dis asters jjf the' reparations negotiation* of the past six years.

' Keno Frank, drawn from his private room by the firing, now ran forward and behind the bar against which Dinsdale was leaning. With a scowl on his heavy face he stared from Curly’s furious countenance to that of the nonchalant Dinsdale, then at the floor and the battered target “Seems to me, stranger, you’ve taken some liberty with my new floor,” he began. “A m atter of doing that, or killing a snake. But you must admit it was pretty guh-play. Ask any of the men.” Keno Frank’s hand was resting be neath the bar, fumbiing for the gun Curly had failed to secure; He stared into the smiling face thoughtfully. The scowl faded and the hand was with drawn, empty. "It was pretty gun-play, stranger. Have a drink?” Dinsdale shook his head and reload ed his guns. “Ju st walking around a bit. FU be going.” He passed to the door, his hands at his side. French Curly wished he car ried a second, derringer as did San Juan Joe, but in his heart he knew he would not risk a shot had he had the extra gun. This episode, more spectacular than tragic; added to the reputation that Dinsdale was acquiring, From resort to resort the story was carried that night, and by morning the “greenback man” was the principal topic (if con versation among all classes. The story of his prodigality trebled his losses and gifts In the telling until it was in evitably concluded that the source of his wealth, at the least, was mystcrl-. ous. The morning also found something new added to the widely flung gossip and was based oh his encounter with Bandy Allen In the I. X; L. hotel. With the usual exaggeration it was loudly bruited about that the. two men had parted with the understanding they should begin shooting on sight when next they met..

I am mayor of this ;towh. Mayor Famum. I must talk plainly to you, .as you are a young man.- I hope youTe more fool- Ish than dangerous." - .- “Shoot, mayor. I’m both young and dangerous, but never dangerous to. Mayor Faraum.” The mayor frowned at the flippant tone and boastful words and advised him: “This town is not a good place'for you. Back in Cheyenne or Denver, say.” Dinsdale’s smile vanished. "Is' that an order for me to get out?” he sharply asked. “No; not an order. Simply some good advice. Affairs have been run rather loosely here ever since the big. rush commenced, but conditions will soon change. When they do, men of your type won’t be wanted. Already there are enough serious men and women here to work the change. New times are coming. Tou won’t fit into them." “Any penalty if I stay on here?” “That depends on you entirely. I hear talk about you and Bandy Allen planning to fight a street duel. I warn you that if there is any blood shed It won’t be a second Jack McCall affair.” “There’s nothing to that Allen talk. He won’t bring any fight to me. Why, he’s a.yaller dog.” “I hope it’s only talk. But Allen has certainly made the talk.” “If he says we two have challenged each other to a street fight - he’s a cheap liar. If I run across him I’ll take him by the nape of the neck and bring him up. to see you and let you hear him eat his words,” promised Dinsdale. “There you go again with more law less threats,” rebuked the exasperated mnyor. “Can’t you understand that gun-play and all-night carousing are simply spasms—that they never last, that no mining town stands for such business very, long? If Bandy Allen and you start any fight—” “We shall not!” warmly, broke In Dinsdale. “If he comes across my path I'll take his guns away from him and send them to you,” “I’m afraid you’re hopeless,” sighed the mayor. “I’ve taken It on myself to warn you. -YouTl do. as you will, of course.” “But I haven’t killed any one yet,” protested Dinsdale. ‘Tve lost money at poker. Surely that doesn’t brand me as a card sharp. Tve bought sev eral million drinks, but your citizens drank them.” ‘Tve heard about you throwing money away. The gulch Is full of stories about you. They call you the 'greenback man,’ ” was the cold retort. . “No crime for a man to be open- handed, even with greenbacks,” lightly defended Dinsdale. ‘Tve finished,”, said the mayor, and .bowing he passed on. . Dinsdale's happy-go-lucky .mien changed to an expression of thought fulness as he slowly walked In-the .op posite direction. He was aroused from his meditation by a claw of a band clutching his arm. H e twisted clear easily and glared down into the pinched-up face of a camp bummer. “Say, boss, Bandy Allen’s down ahead, laying for you,” croaked the unwashed. Dinsdale snapped him a coin and ferociously w.arned him : 'Tou tell any of your friends I gave you that and I’ll hunt you down and cut off your ears. I never forget a face, even a dirty one. Scoot!” With ludicrous' haste • the fellow raced up the street, the coin clutched In his hand, with a great fear clutch ing at bis heart. With a dry chuckle Dinsdale continued his walk, and half aloud said: "They’re getting organized. Society for Warning Pete Dinsdale Against the Evil Plans of Bandy Allen. First chap babbled about his luck, now they’ll ambush me in relays.” He had scarcely, come to. this whim sical decision when another man, glided from the doorway of a store, and be gan : . . “M r.; Dinsdale,' I want to warn you—” . ' . , Dinsdale caught him by. the. collar of his' ragged shirt and shot him back into the store. “Still trying to build up a name as a fighting man by ill-using bummers,” spoke up a rasping'voice. * Red. of face Dinsdale turned and en- Bountered the scornful. gaze, of Mrs. Colt. Beside her and ducking her head In ,'timorous; welcome was Lottie Carl, trig and trim In 'new dress and serv iceable shoes. . . ., ' - ' .'- “The man annoyed, me, Mrs. Colt,” .gravely answered Dinsdale. . Lottie Carl advanced .to, greet him, but the 'widow swung her b'aek from contamination. Dinsdale sorrowfully returned ner troubled gaze, lifted his hat to Mrs..Colt and hurried on. For an hour thereafter it wouild.have been hazardous • for any one . to have in truded upon bis affairs. H e'had treat ed . all bis. experiences asjokes, but the meeting with the widow and Lottie Carl cut him deeper than he cared to admit to hjmself. Consequently he. was In a bad ,humor as he walked back to the Bed Rock and all but ran into Kitty ' the Schemer.' He touched his hat and stepped, aside, but she blocked qis path and complained: ; “Isn’t any of your wealth to come to-phof m e.M r. Bad Man?” ’,Tm taking them alphabetically, and By HUGH PENDEXTER . .

He was In the game when I was trimmed.” "If I tell him that he won’t like your saying, i t ” He smiled cynically and assured h e r:' “Ton can’t make bad. blood between Joe and me. So long as I don’t fall In love with you Joe won’t sniff any bat tle smoke.” “I’m afraid Allen will get you first,” she jeered. He halted his steps and contemplated her curiously and m used: “So you’re the one who set the yam going about me fighting that rabbit.” “You’re as poor at guessing as you are at cards. Tou’ll know when I be come busy.” “Work fast, little woman, as I shall be leaving the gulch soon.” Her piiik and white face hardened and the blue eyes squinted up with malice. "When you feel the rope that McCall dodged remember me, my bad man.” "I shall remember you for a Ioqg tim e; but Tm not your bad man,” he softly reminded her as he passed on. K itty the Schemer bit her red lips and watched him swing up the street. The experience of having young men ignore her undoubted cparms was both new and Intensely disagreeable. • " * The night began for Dinsdale as had the others. From tent to tent and from dance hall to saloon he trav eled, lavishly acting as host to crowds of men who already were whispering their belief he was one of the OgaJaIa train robbers: In the Big Ace, devoted entirely to faro and IargelJ patronized by professionals who had made kill ings at poker, he ,added to his un savory reputation by winning two thou sand dollars In gold and then promis ing to shoot his way clear of the joint when the proprietor became over in sistent on his remaining and tempting fortune further. As he left the place he was thrown into a sudden spell of anger by k poor creature creeping to his side and at-' tempting to tell the same old story .about Bandy Allen. “You scum !’ he -growled, reaching for the fellow’s neck. ' “Mercy sakes! Don’t” spluttered the fellow. “You gave me a bill this morn ing; I wanted to do you a good turn. I tell you Allen’s going to try for you.” 1 • “Excuse me, neighbor,” sighed Dins dale: “I’ve been trailed pretty strong by yoUr friends today,” “I ain’t after no more money. I owed you a 'few words, I thought. No funny business to it. I heard French Curly as much as tell Big George you was having your last night—'less you seen Bandy Allen first. Them was his exact words, almost. Believe, or forgit it.” And he ducked away up the street - ' Dinsdale rubbed his chin, and m used: ‘Tm inclined to believe It. But- what the devil Is behind it all? That poor fool isn’t acting ’less some one’s pushing him forward.” Only hilarity filled his shapely head when an hour after midnight he en tered the Grand Central and immedi ately, became a central figure. He in vaded the bar with a mob at his heels and made it free to all. While he dumped some of his golden, faro win nings on the bar the word was car ried to the street that the “greenback man” was throwing everything wide open and without limit, and homeless men flocked in and jammed the place. It was while the last .of tlie mob was being satiated that. Scissors squirmed .through the press aid-thrust a note Into Dinsdale’s hand. Opening it Dins dale read: .. “Most Important you see. me now— Joe.” • “Is Joe wearing any guns besides his derringers?” whispered Dinsdale in Scissors’ ear. For he was wondering if Kitty the Schemer'had succeeded in compelling her lover to prove his love by gun-play.' “Oh, no! Don’t even know he’s got hts derringers. I’ve Been hunting for you quite a while. He got tired and came with me. He’s outside here, stew ing and fretting. Wish you’d come; he’ll blame ine if you don't.” Throwing a bag or dust on the bar to. clean up the score, Dinsdale fol lowed Scissors to the street San Juan Joe was standing by the side of the building. “Whai’s th e trouble? You’ve .broken up my, party,” .saluted Dinsdale.'' ‘Tm trying to do you a good turn,' growled the gambler. “Hold on! Don’t tell me. ypu’ve.come to^wam me against Bandy Allen !” “Alien?; Are you crazy or drunk I Tve got something that’s more' im portant than fool talk. We must go where we can be alone. My place is the best We’ll enter by the back door.” ■ ■ “Can’t It watty.’-mgked Dinsdale, gazing across atthe hotel. ■ • . “ 'T didn’t think so When; I quit my tables and a big private game/’ was* the grim reply. “H ear my talk, then do as you please. It’s your game, not mine.” Thby walked up the street In silence and gained. San Juan’s room unseen except by some of the kitchen help and the hallboy. San Juan pushed forward the cigars and sinking into a chair peevishly complained: “Why In h—I did you have to have another run-in-with Kitty?” • “I haven’t. I ran . away. She held me up. She’s mad because I won’t fall In love with her so she can break my young- heart.” . ' " “She’s red-hot against you. Tve just come from there. She swears you'll swing. When a woman talks that way the man usually gets hurt,, or finds the woman is in love with him and decides he’s In love with her. In your case it’s a m atter of losing either w ay; for I’ll do my best to kill the man who makes up to Kitty and wins.” ■ “Don’t oil any guns for me. Deal me out. She doesn’t interest me. • She annoys me,” wearily, said Dinsdale. “I thought you brought me here to hear a big talk.” . “I have. Kitty and her ravings hap pened to be on my mind. And I’m reck oning you’ll need a heap of friends. Fve Just received, by night, stage a line from an old friend In- Cheyenne. Been trailing you ever since I got it. I sent Scissors out to find you, and the fool stopped to sell his pictures In every place he entered. Then I had, to go along with him to see he did his errand. Look at that.” ' And he passed over a piece of paper containing one line in writing;. W ith elevated tafows Dinsdale read : “Jim Omaha making your way— Cheyenne.” V For once San Juan had, the satis faction of seeing Dinsdale wince. It was a facial betrayal and lasted only a second. As he carefully smoothed the paper and refolded it and handed it back his features were expression less. H e simply said: ‘T m glad you sent for me.” “Omaha’s never been up here. He works only on railroad cases,” whis pered San Juan.' “It may be the Oga lala affair.” W ith a tw ist of the thin lips which was meant for a smile Dinsdale said: I Right, Dinsdale, I've Best for You.” Done ‘I t easily could be that—-if he’s still working for the railroad. Who’s Chey enne?” “Just* a friend. He signs his mes sages that way. He knows I . meet some pretty good boys in my business who may have slipped and who may be wanted. That’s all." Does Omaha know you by sight?” . . “I don’t think So.” SaA Dinsdale drummed the table gently, his eyes filled with a farraway look. “I know I never, saw him to. know him. W hat’s he look like? W hat’s his real name?” “Like yourself, I never saw him to my knowledge,” replied the gambler ■regretfully. ‘T never heard him called anything but-;‘Jim Omaha.’ Union Pa cific bloodhound. He’d never coine'up here except on big business. Railroad business.’? “Then it’s, the Ogalala- affair,- all right,”- tersely declared . Dinsdale. "Wonder if he’s struck the gulch yet ?”' “Small chfihce. 'I know pretty well who comes In on ,the stage,” Then thoughtfully: “B ut if he has sneaked In he’s got a fine line on you.

I’ll dress him for that.” “Then there’s the mayor; tried to order-, me out of town this morning,” added Dinsdale. ' “Well, you have m ade-a mess of IL Take the mayor’s cadvice and get out for a few days, anyway. Make that prospecting trip with Iron Pyrites. SStart In the morning. Be in Rapid City this day week, or send Pyrites in.

You know, better, than I whether it means a run, ning should he recognize you.” “When it comes to gun-play—” boldly began Dinsdale. “Discard! D iscard!" snapped San Juan. “I ain’t gunning for. your con fidence. But I m et Pyrites right after getting the message, and I told him I wouldn’t stake him and that you prob ably would. H you say the word, he’ll call for you early in the morning. He’ll have your outfit ready. AU you’ll have to do is to take your guns and stay out ,till you get- my word at Rapid City, a week from today.” . ■But Dinsdale grew more defiant, and sullenly insisted: , “I ain’t afraid of Jim Omaha. He either doesn’t know me, or else he does. If he does know me—well, he isn’t called the Tjloodhound' for noth ing; and I might as well-have it out here as to have him chasing me over into Montana.” “I was. looking further ahead than that,” said the gambler.. “If he comes and goes, and the coast remains clear, you can return and) sit Into a game that’ll-make your everlasting pile. It'll make the Ogalala job look like a two- bit limit game. It’ll be as quick as it is big.”. W ith scowling brows Dinsdale de clared : ; “I don’t know anything about the Ogalala job. Let Omaha come and try to nail it on me. He’ll have his hands full to make It stick. Nothing at all to hookm eup to that business.' - . San Juan Joe smiled .cynically and softly reminded him : “Nothing at all except the talk abodt you being the ‘greenback man.’ But undoubtedly you could explain when and where you got hold of so much paper money—newkmoney, at that.” Dinsdale’s face lengthened; then grew ugly, as he m uttered:. , “It'll be up to him and the Upion Pacific to show down; not me. Maybe Iw on it at gambling.” “All right; Dinsdale. Fve. done my best for you, but a man m ust play his own hand. I saw trouble where no trouble exists, undoubtedly. And I was selfish; I confess IL But I did want you to Join me In a little'm atter, little .work and -big results.' A bit of busi ness where you couldn’t lose if you had nerve. And FU gamble you’ve got mountains of nerve.” Dinsdale chewed his under lip re- , flectively,, and in a milder tone said • ‘T ve got nerve, all righL Ain’t boasting for me to say that. About all I have got,” and he laughed shortly. “But look at It my w ay: I w ant a squint at Jlm Omaha. If he’s'on.m y trail I want to know him by sight. A man doesn’t have to scoot : from these hills just because some one is after him.” - San Juan gazed at the determined! face admirably, “Yes, DiUsdale1 you’re outfitted with nerve. Fm no tenderfoot,, but when It comes to Jim Omaha and he has reason to think he wants me—excuse me! “Better men than I have run away from him or tried to, and they’ve told me about him—some of them have. Others have just dropped out of sight, and they didn't go" into hiding. Then this prospecting trip with Pyrites Is off, eii?” ."L w otft say it’s off,” was the slow response. “Maybe after thip cuss blows In and I'have,had a chance, to size him up, so I can"Jaiow ,him on sight.the next time we meet, Fll go away with Pyrites for a bib Maybp then Td be keen to come back and dip !into! the big game you’re raving abouL” T m afraid Pyrites won’t wait.

He starts tomorrow morning, stake or no stake. 'Then again, there wouldn't be any point In your going with him except as you 'did' so to dodge Omaha.” - ~ “Don’t agree with that last;’’ stub bornly retorted Dinsdale. “All I want is one’peek a t O m aha.'

Win hand on his gun and his head swing, ing from side to side, he advanced a few rods when a head popped front behind a dry-goods box. Dinsdale whipped out his gun but refrained from firing when a voice shouted: “The hotel! He’s coming out!" The fight was sufficient for. Dinsdale to recognize the speaker to be Scis sors, and he swung about on his heel -just as Bandy AUen ran Into the road from the hotel, a long gun clasped In his two hands. Up went the gun to his shoulder and down dropped Dins* dale, and two loads of slugs tore with a scream over his head. Had he re mained erect he would hare caught the charge full in the chest. He rolled to one side and came up on one knee as Allen dropped the shotgun and began firing with his hand-gun3, the lead kicking the dirt into Dinsdale's face. “Go back!” he roared, throwing him self flat and rolling toward the box which sheltered-Scissors. Perhaps Allen believed his quarry was seriously wounded and unable to gain his feet; perhaps the influence impelling him to commit the murder outweighed all sense of discretion W hatever was driving him to make bis kill he did not falter, but with a loud yell of triumph began running toward the writhing figure. With the resilience of 'a steel spring Dinsdale came to his feet Alien came to a halt and .fired with his left hand and was throwing down his right-hand gun when Dinsdale’s lead caught him in the forehead.

This is not plausible. To I ners0n who had never learned the sounds of English words, the radios message, if heard, would be totally un intelligible. Other equally exaggerated Elories are also current. Effect Is Like Telephone. The effect of radio upon the deaf „er«0n is neither mysterious nor su pernatural. It is not unlike the effect of the telephone. Every one knows Eome person who Is hard of hearing, hat "ho can converse comfortably orer a telephone. The telephone sends the message concentrated and direct to the ear. Then. too. the receiver is usunU.v pressed against the bone In front or back of the ear and this causes the message to be cnrried by what is known as bone conduction. In stead of traveling from the outer ear, Ihrough the middle ear passage to the Inner ear, sound vibrations are caught by one of the head bones and carried direct to the Inner ear. In conse quence, If the person s trouble is In the middle ear, where so many hear ing difficulties are located, he may be able to use a telephone with a success that surprises his friends. Radio apparatus is even. more ac commodating than the telephone. The individual who is hard of hearing gen-- erally requires a rather powerful and delicate set. Whether a deaf person can hear over a radio set depends on the extent and character of his deaf ness. Roughly speaking, if the appa ratus In his head Is sufficiently sensi tive to catch the highly amplified Bounds, lie can. As to the possibility of radio Im proving his hearing In ordinary con versation, this Is not very likely. It may he that practice In hearing voices over the radio makes the deaf person, uho is apt to avoid conversation, more successful In catching the words of his friends. It may be. too. that the radio apparatus stimulates the ear to a slightly greater sensitiveness. Loud Speaker Was Too Loud. Sevetjal clubs for the hard of hear ing have Installed radio sets and re port that they are extremely popular. At first one club tried using a loud speaker, but when the apparatus was adjusted so that all of the members could hear, the-noise was deafening. It upset business on three floors of. the building. Ear phones proved more satisfactory. Each member adjusts Ws own for volume, and on nights when phones are In unusual demand, the head sets are divided by those who can hear with one phone. Indirect benefits of radio will be far more important to the deaf than the pleasure they get from listening .{.

Radio receiving appa ratus Is very much like the portable electric devices which many deaf peo ple wear to amplify sound for them- These devices consist of a batti-ry transm itter, and one or two receivers Improvements In radio apparatus have consequently been applied to portable hearing devices, and several electric companies have become Interested In the problem of perfecting electric de vices for the deaf. A millionaire, who was determined to make science overcome his deaf ness. engaged the services of- one of these electric companies. The com pany^ men studied the millionaire’s case* of deafness and his house. They experimented carefully. At last they established a battery about the size of a cupboard In the residence. This battery was connected with each room In the house. Now. the deaf million aire puts on head phoned In. any room and he can catch any sound in it. ’ One of the triumphs of this piece of research Is tfcat the ear phone for each ear is constructed to suit the condition of deafness in that e a r.. This means that hearing In the two-ears Is equal ized. The deaf person, whose hearing is better In one ear than In the other Is not able to distinguish the direc tions from which sounds come. If some one knocks at a door the deaf person has to guess which door is to be opened. If an automobile horn sounds on the street he has to look all around to see whence the warning comes. The millionaire s receiving ap paratus corrects this Inequality of hearing, just as eyeglasses correct in equality of vision. WATCHES CROSSING Just outside of Rochester. N.

So comes this boy bandit, with the dying prayer on his lips, to compli cate the problem of modern life, just as its solution was being accepted as a m atter of home and home surround ings. Seven men were grouped about a table in the dining room of the home of Fred Harlow, playing cards. One of these was Ernest R.

Hunter, chief of the homicide squad of the district attorneys .office, trained to the capture of desperate criminals. The outside doors of the room flew open and two figures entered. The card players looked up Into a face nfasked with a handkerchief and found themselves covered by the muz zles of two pistols. Werdin and Hunt er without a move watched for their opportunity. Werdin was the first to find It. He rose and fired. Two bul lets tore their way through the breast of the masked bandit and with a Scream of terror and pain he toppled and fell. H is companion fled.

G. Phillips, head of the poultry department of Purdue university.' In.the spring when, birds get onto free range and in the summer when they utilize the entire farm for exercise, It Is a common prac tice to reduce the amount of mash containing protein and depend upon the grain as the large part of the feed to be supplied by those who keep poultry. As the weather warms up, birds do not need as much heat supplied by the grain as they do In the’ winter. Consequently the grain' consumption should naturally be redjjced and mash consumption increased. Tn order to see that the birds eat more mash as the season progresses it may be nec essary to feed practically no grain in the morning. If the Purdue mash ef 50 pounds bran. 50 pounds middlings and 30 pounds tankage is used, the proportion o i grain to mash in the spring should be two to one and In the' summer one to one, or equal parts of grain to mash. As a rule egg production begins to slump as soon as warm weather ar rives, but If the mash consumption In creases the slump will not be so great. Tlie summer production can be very high and consequently very profitable. On farms where much wnste grain is available it may be wise to confine the birds until about ten o’clock, in the morning, thus compelling them to eat mash before they are permitted to ror.m over the farm. High masli con sumption is absolutely necessary , to insure summer egg production. Green Feeds and Water Essential for All Hens It Is absolutely essential that lay ers be furnished green feed Of some, kind. The question 9! how to'supply this green feed must be ' decided by the individual For maximum egg pro duction the bird must have access to fresh clean water at all times, which should neither be too hot nor too cold. One hundred hens In good laying con dition should consume from 12 to 24 quarts of water dally, and in extreme ly hot weather even more. . , When properly fed, milk makes an excellent feed for laying bens. Skim milk or buttermilk are economical feeds and when available should he used Instead of the higher-priced pro tein feeds such as meat scraps. Skimmed milk not' only contains the valuable food nutrients, but It Is in the form that Is easily digested. Sour milk is preferable to sweet milk, since sweet milk when fed may not all be consumed before It sours, thus caus ing the fowl to have sweet food at one time, and then sour immediately following, which Is riot advisable. Furthermore sour milk contains an acid that is said to be a benefit in controlling bowel troubles. Grit In some forrii is very essential to the hrialtli of a flock and also means economy In feeding. It Is also to be remembered that shells are just as Im portant as aoy other part of the egg. A large amount of lim e, is used In building thesg shells. Unless some form of. Umd is supplied, hens laying heavily will not secure a sufficient amount to inanufacture the shells.

This swagger mode Is artfully knit In boudette effect, striking In its black- and-white combination. The -distinc tive three-quarter coat and Interknff- ted Crusader pattern are features. 'A foremost characteristic of knitted outerwear Is: its wealth of design.- Masters of the art are producing, out of woolen yarns, silk and fiber, knitted patternings which even the most skep tical of us could not have believed possible some years ago. W ith knitted stitch as the medium, decorative art of countries far and ages past is being In terpreted throughout modern apparel. The Crusader motif, which Is so handsomely featured in the suit In the picture, follows In the trend of other charming designs produced through knitted-stitch. There is, for instance, the- knitted mah-jongg suit, which Is heavy match-colored faille silk collar, revers and vestee. The skirt Is em-. broldered In Chinese figures. This charming model serves admirably as either street or luncheon gown. The Importance of the capelet can not be overstated. In some form or other It finds expression on not only ■frock, suit and wraps,, but even the blouse, In its latest conception, reflects the capelet Influence. PlaltIngs of the crepe de chine, In the form of a cape let, are attached across the shoulders of the latest blouse models.

Remarkable Evidence of Faith. A young girl, helpless since in fancy, walks as a result of ’faith after baptism, is the story told. by. eye witnesses. _ Miss Leona Noonkester, the fif teen- years-old daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. N. W. Noonkester, • of The Hollow, Va., who has never been able to walk,’as a result of infan tile paralysis, gave a remarkable exhibition of the power of mind over matter recently when baptized preparation to uuiting with the' Mountain View Primitive Raptist church. Some time ago the young girl be- capie concerned about her salvation aud three times the great longing in her- heart to walk like other peo ple made its impression on her dfeains aud she saw herself walk ing out of .the water after baptism. So distinct were the dreams that slie coiificled in relatives and friends atid Iitr faith inspired others so that at least 400 people gathered beside the mountain stream to wit ness .the baptism and , miracle, on Sunday. As the dreuclied body of the frail girl emerged from the water the witnesses say she actualty took steps, supported by the minister and walked three or four yards to the arms of her parents, the wond erful dreams had come true jind there was not a dry eye among tbe 400 .spectators. "Do yo.u think she will g° ®n walking a few steps at a time until she gets. free use of ; her: limbs’ ’ was asked her father.. ‘ No,’* he said, “I have no hope .that she will ever be any better but she actually walked after her baptism.” —Ex.

Huntley-Hill-Stockton Co. Tradeand Fifth Winston-Salem, N. C. New Victor RecordsfOnce a Week, Every Week—Friday D em ocrats H ave N o C hance. There werefew politicians in the national capital on the. Fourth of July, either Deinocratic Kepublicans, but what few that were there, ac cording to the Washington cor respondent of the Greensboro News, stated that “it matters not whom the D^niocrats .no'minate for .Presi dent this year hie has not a ghost of' a chance of election.” JThis is the view according to tbe correspondent of men of both parties in Washing ton. .Itisheld that the relijrious issue has split the^party into, Protestants and Catholics and that the breach will grow wider and wider with the approach of- the election. ’ The-Ku Klux as a result of the ,widespread notority they have recieye from the battle in Madison Spuare Garden, jire expecting a million new members during the summer. They are claim ing in their press at. Washington that the Catholic, stated. .tb,e fight on. the klansmen jn ' thi_‘_convention in order to nominate GovernorSmith and secure control of the Democra tic party. The Catholics, according to the k Ian press, have been frustrated in their'purpose but'the -war has just begum in earnest. .Jfce importance of putting Protsstants on guard at every important post in Washington, according to the lslan organ, now o.verrhadows every other issue in the campaign. TGis paper gives notice that everythingi'ise will be forgot ten before the campaign is half over. It points out that only 17 percent of the people of United States are Catholics and they can expect local offices only where they are in a ma jority in a number of the large cities in the eastern and middle states that the_Democratic party must bear the •brunt of this issue because of the fact that - it has so much larger Catholic element in its ranks than has the Republican party. If Governor Smith had been nomi nated by (he Democrats, which the klan organ holds has always been impossible,' the klan, it declares, would have defeated, him in ev^ry stuthern and western State. His candidacy would have defeated him in every southern and western State. His candidacy would have*'jresul£ed in the nomination of another Demt - cratjust as. the question of negro slavery split the party at Charleston in 1860. - The klan organ frankly ,proclaims the klan as "militantProtestantism” and it has been injected into Ameri can politics to save the republic from the demination of a foreign men archy to which American Roman Catholics acknowledged 'allegiance superior to that of the constitution ofjtfce United States It other words this klan organ sees in the clashing New York convention and the cam paign a religious crusade to rescue religious liberty f rom the enemies of the republic.' Some Republicans have been wondering if the issue may n t be injec}ed into their party before the election comes. There are compara^ tively few'prominent Catholic lead ers in the Republican party and that is said to account for the lack. of feeling against'the klan at the Cleve land convention. .. Gut the inference from the klan organ is that President Coolidge may go a*fishing if he feels so disposed. At any rate he need not lose any sleep in this, campaign —Ex. '■ . .

Some'ol uli ra’sses know just exactly what they want and others have no earth Iy idea of how they want it done. They expect the nice barber man to fix it for them some way and they hope that it will look just as well as the next.’s. One gray-haired lady came in the shop, the other dav faced the shears with as much assurence as a heavy-bearded man faced the dull r?zir. - L. C. Watts tells of the unusual fact that a whole family: was attend ed to one time in- bis p' ice. . The father, mother and the two good- looking young daughters were seat ed in four neighboring chairs and the barbers set to the family opera tion. Mr. Watts also, states that a lot of the women are ashamed to be seen in what they go through With ordeal because they must have their haircut. Atanvrate they believe that whatever the "men can do, they can do also. Around Mos3 Barber shop they say that all women who leave their place are satisfied , That speaks well for this place. Just this morning, a very pretty young. Iad^ climbed up into the high chair and gave explicit directions as to the exact manner in which her locks were to be trimmed. Of course she had her hair bobbed already, but she was in a quandary as to whether she must have it shin g|ed or not. When the writer left, she was-still undecided. She said though, that she didn’t like the pro cess, but that she had. enjoyed the result. To bob or not to bob, that is the question. It is causing, more, talk today than the democratic conven tion and hard times combined. It interests all classes and both sexes, for no one is immune from the dis cussion. The women,have to have their men folk’s advice. Some of the men object for.conventiqn’ssak.e not that it willdo. any good, but it gives them a little chance to put in a.few words Some authorities say that short hair ishygenicand health ful sanitary and systematic while others say that it is barratic and bombastic, unsanitary and unscienti fic : One barber in New York keeps a trained nurse" on hand to attend to women patients who go into hysterics when they-see their shorn heads in the mirror.

Brigadier General Dawes an uuuiices that in his caudulaces for the vice presidency, he" is going after the. political damagogup, and that he will ask no quarter and will give none. Irrespective of poiitics, if lie is in any measure successful, he will perform a public service that can scarcely be estimated. .The political demagogue is the curse of the United States. The man who-will'promise anything, when .lie knows in his’heart that it is iiot for the best -interests of the country, merely for tlie country, merely for the selfish purpose of maintaining--himself in offic, is not worthy, of public confidence, and politics will continue to be in dis repute among the great mass of the people as long as he has'any voice. The demagogue misleads and prostitutes public opinion by divert ing attention from vital matters of government with appeals to class hatreds. He is truely un-Ameri can and. may his clan grow less as. people awaken to the fact that he' is an evil genius who will t.ear down American institutions and ideals, rather than build tiiem up, as lie makes it appear lie will.' Gen. Dawes says that "political demagoguery is a curse the world over. The world has seen what, grasping, unprincipled leaders have done to Europe.' .

Prohibition officers have captured several huudred gallons of beer, caught two men and seized a trig still within the past few days. The way of the transgressor is hard and is becoming harder day by day. There are too many automobile wrecks these days. Within the past ten days there has been two or three wrecks in or near Mocksyille in which several people were hurt and cars badly damaged. AU drivers should use great caution and see that they are not exceeding the state and town speed laws. It is a long time until the Nov ember election.

The woman’s body was identified by a brother as that of Mrs. Rose Green, five weeks’ bride of Oscar Green; of Bfo'oklyny.N. Y. Mr. Green was among the survivors landed, at Fall River, slightly Injured, and later went to Boston. He was ‘ separated from his wife after, their stateroom was crush ed In. Eight hundred and seventy-two lives were saved by a rescue fleet that hastened to pick up life-boats from a' sinking steam er during a Long Island sound fog. 'Of those saved 692 were passengers.

London,—W ith the -interallied con ference on the Dawes reparation plan not yet a week old, the American am bassador, Frank B. Kellogg, has been called upon to play the delicate role of mediator, which all the delegations confidentially predicted would be his sooner or later. Mr. Kellogg’s opportunity came when the French ideas' of security were found to be out of harmony with the guarantees, required by Amer ican finaciers who are expected to take up a considerable portion of the 40,000,000 pounds sterling Ioan To Ger many, with which the Dawes plan is to be inaugurated. The situation, although tense, is re garded by most observers as capable of amicable solution, through the of fices of the American ambassador and his coUeagues. On one principle all the delegations seem still to be agreed —that the Dawes plan affords the only solution for Europe’s ills, and that the alternative Is .chaos. Maj.

VERITABLE STACK OF LEGISLA TION FACES SOLONS IN BRIEF SESSION. Washington.—!There ’will be plenty for Congress to do-in the short sessiou starting' in December. ■ So much was left undone when Con gress quit on June 7 for the summer that a veritable stack of legislation, much of it of a controversal nature, will get back on the job. The first im portant division o f the new session will come on t’ e Muscle Shoals question,, agreement having been reached to vote on this on De cember 3. Two plans are pending, one by Senator Norris (R), of Ne braska, for Government operation of the great nitrate and power project in Alabama, the other, backed by South ern senators, to turn the whole works over to Henry Ford. As Norris heads Jhe Agricultural Committee of the Senate and as his proposal is the ma jority report of that committee, the test will come on a vote to substitute the Ford bid, carried in a minority report. The Ford offer already has received the approval of the House, acting upon the suggestion of Presi dent Coolidge, so with the Senate rests the final decision. Scores of other im portant measures will crowd to the front as soon as the session gets under Way. Among these will be the deficiency Appropriation bill, which failed of passage in the first session, leaving the executive branch of the Government with no money to make initial payments on the soldiers’ bonus, or to meet other pressing financial needs. The efforts of W estern senators to include a num ber of reclamation projects In this bill was the principal thing that caus ed Its defeat before; but, with a whole session ahead, these reclamation pro jects can be taken care of separately and the bonus money granted. The W orld Court problem was only nicked in the first session, and there will be a real fight over it this winter. The plans are before the senate—one by Senator Pepper (R.), of Pennsyl vania, which provides for American entrance into a Perm anent Court of International Justice divorced from the. League of Nations, and the other by Senator Swanson (D.), of Virginia, for American adherence to the League Court, with the Harding-Hughes res ervations. ' It is the Swanson plan that has the approval of President Coolidge, and he will make a determin ed effort to get Congress to act upon It- . . Among the international problems confronting the senate is that involved in Hie ratification of the new commer cial treaty between Germany and the United States.

Boston>-Those preparing to wel come the round-the-World fliers • on their return: to native shores along the New England coast are doing everything that-A rm y thoughtfulness can anticipate’. An instance of pre paredness was seen in a plane equip ped to dissipate fog. Army officers at the Boston .air port where the fliers will land, said it had proved its ability to do that.. Sections of the New England coast are prolific breeders of fogs and the dispelling plane may have some real work to do in making clear the way for world voyages.

The number of buyers arriving here was the greatest ever known to come in on Sunday since the first exposition here, and advance' conditions indicate Jh at this will be the biggest m arket in the history of High Point, it was stated. While- buying was a bit light In the northern markets this summer, furni ture authorities look for a decided in crease after'election and -expect buy ing to reach a peak about January, declared Mr. Jackson, who has talked with a number of manufacturers and dealers over the country on the out look of the furniture industry. The Reno company representative studied conditions In every im portant m arket this season, all of which he has attended. “The popularity of the furniture industry can be attested-by thd more than 5,000 who registered on Georgia 70; Florida 76; Alabama 70; New Furm ture m art at Chicago, July 7. The quarters of this m art is the largest building In the world complete ly occupied by furniture exhibitors and it is leased on a ten year basis,’ he said. He spoke highly of the m arkets at Grand Rapids. He said, “Six or eight buildings were completely leased for exhibits. That city Will always hold its own as a buying center.

CHAPTER Vl —6— Pyrites wns garrulously grateful to Dinsdale for providing the stake, and for two days of their -hurried Journey toward the divide between Sapid and Spring creeks he wearied his silent companion with his voluble thanks. After passing through the three miles of the Elk’s narrow and twisted canyon they emerged from the slates to strike southwest to the B oi Elder, swiftli flowing over bare bed rock. They followed the Box Elder to where it headed at the base of Custer’s peak. Near sundown Pyrites began unpack ing the burros and called after Dins dale: “Don’t you know it’s almost night? We’ll camp here.” ; “Dinsdale, ahead, reined in and stared at the sunset lights streaming across the heavens. Dismounting, he slowly led his horse back to the camp ing place and removed the saddle and placed it In the small tent Pyrites was deftly setting up. “I feel sort of blue, partner. Sup pose you do the squaw work while T wander around a bit,” he suggested. ‘Tm afraid I’m a poor traveling com panion.” “You’re all right!” heartily assured Pyrites. “Walk the bile out of your system. Better make it a short trip, as it'll be darker ’n the inside' of a burro pretty soon.” ‘TH find my way back, never fear,” said Dinsdale. And taking his rifle, he struck off to the foot of tbe peak. In the south the country was much more broken, and was thickly set with serrated peaks and had bulky Harney’s peak for a background. It impressed Dins dale as being desolate and forbidding. Originally the country had been heavily timbered, but now there were large areas of dead pines, and their Scraggly tops were unlovely and sug gested a. land- that had been dead many ages. ■ Dinsdale stared gloomily at'the mel ancholy vista for some minutes, then breasted the flank of the mountain and rapidly began climbing it. With tireless energy he worked his way up “the slope until a more gracious pros pect of rolling hills, with a scattering of small peaks, came into view. Son on the heights and darkness In the gorges, and he suddenly realised it was time for him to be making camp. When he wearily broke through into the firelight he found Pyrites asleep In the tent. Bacon and beans were bn a flat rock by the Sre and the. coffee-pot, freshly stocked, was ready to be boiled. Pyrites awoke and rolled from the tent and apologized: : "Tried to keep things hot for you. Miist Jiave dropped off. - You- sit down nnd get your boots off and wash your f eet ond TH have the coffee hot In a minute.” “The night is Jnst .beginning back In Deadwood,” mused Dinsdale.. as he pulled off his boots and stuck'his feet into a tiny streamlet. “Dp here -it’s tim e .folks were abed.” - “Bet they’re having a hot talk about Bandy Allen about'’ this time.” “Their talk won’t bother either Al-. Jen or me. Neither of us can hear It.” “Judas! But you’re a cool one! That Allen was never any account' "I had no wish to kill the fool, even to hurt him,” morosely replied,Dins dale. “He came at me shooting, shot gun and two hand-guns. Funny,.too. W here did he get his nerve? He wasn’t drunk; just a cold killer. All day men had been warning me against him. I thought it was a joke, their way of having fun with me. And derned if he didn’t try to get m et” “Must V been ,drunk,” insisted Py rites as he dished out some beans and bacon and poured a dipper of strong coffee. "After the way you cuffed French Curly’s gun around any man might ’a’ known you was pool- medi cine to go against.” - . “His mind may have been drunk, but his nerves were ‘ steady,” sighed Dinsdale. "He shot mighty straight add nifty—No saitsfactlon in killing him. Felt all'1 the time as if he was going through with something he sim ply had to do.” Pyrites lowered" the coffee pot slow ly and. stared in amazement at his companion. “Partner,” he solicitously inquired, "you feel all right?” Dinsdale laughed and dried his feet on the short grass. "Top high', Pyrites. My conscience doesn’t- trouble me a bit. Bandy Al len was a bad one. Better off dead. If he had been an Injun T d say he’d made a vow to his medicine and had to tackle me. Being low-down scum I can’t get rid of the feeling he was doing something he wouldn’t have tried unless he felt obliged to try i t ” Pyrites stared a t' him sympatheti cally, and declared: “Your talk doesn’t assay out even one teeny' color. Not even a trace. Of course it’s barely possible French Curly and some of his pals might have it against yon for what happened in Keno Frank’s place; yet It don’t have the right indications. Those fellers would want you to live till they could get you. down at a table again, you’d think.” “Curly I Never thought of him,” ex claimed Dinsdale. "Well, Tm through mulling it over. From now on Tm going to be a wolf a t prospecting.” “That’s the kind of talk that makes me feel good,” approved Pyrites. "Now you pitch into that grub, have a short smoke and turn in. ' And don’t let Bandy Allen bother your dreams any. San Juan has stopped ail talk against you by tV s time. Ain’t no doubt in my mind but what Bandy was one of the hoss thieves that have been doing as regular a business In these hills as tbe miners have.” H e crawled Into the tent to escape the heavy dews and rolled In his blan kets. Dinsdale smoked a pipe and then followed his friend’s example. The thunder birds were flapping their wings and the hills were filled with deep rumblings. Pyrites, crawl ing- from his blankets to prepare tbe breakfast, studied the heavens for a minute and then went about his work. "We’ll run into It if we break camp,1! dubiously remarked Dinsdale from the tent. "It’s lambasting sin out of the pines down there,” grunted Pyrites. “It’s moving southeast We-.won’t get any of it. We’ll eat and poke along.” Xnnsdale took the - hint and turned o u t Tsa breakfast was soon eaten and the fcnrxoa packed. Dinsdale went ahead, .usually in sight of his companion every few min- ■n "About Four or Five Colors.” ; utes as he surmounted a ridge. For two miles he rode and then reined In- and stared thoughtfully a t something ahead. Swinging h is' head about to scan the cover-suspiclously .he would have been thrown into something of a panic had he not remembered, the In dians’ fear of thunder storms. Slip ping to the ground and shifting his rifle t° his left hand while- he drew a hand gun he approached the object: which hqd caused him to dismount. It was a long feathered arrow, with ‘‘lightning-marks,” or grooves on the short shaft- characterizing . i t aa be- longing to a . Sioux quiver. The head was triangular In shape,, made for war. The shaft was of juneberry, tough and flexible, so as not to break did the quarry, whether man or buf falo, fall upon It. Dinsdale waited- until Pyrites came up. T h e prospector examined the ar row and m uttered: “See how that head’s fixed on sort, of wobbly. Once it’s stuck into a man It can’t be pulled oiit Well,- he’ll, lie low for a spell along of Mr. Lightning. Only one of him, or they’d laid for us with their guns.” Acting on Pyrites’ .advice Dinsdale continued afoot, walking beside his horse, his revolver ready to. resent an ambush. A few miles brought them to the Rapid, which they crossed just below the forks. Pyrites’ lust for test ing the gravel could not be denied longer, and as their next march would take them up on to the divide, due east, Dinsdale was willing, to call it 'a day’s travel. They unpacked the burros and pitched their tent, and Pyrites fished out his pan, about a foot and a half In diameter, and-shoveled some thirty pounds of dirt, into it, and hurried to the rivulet. IJinsdale stood -and watched him. Pyrites exclaimed some thing under his breath. "How does it pan out?” asked Dins dale, w ith.a flicker of interest “About four o r five colors.” “W hat’s that In money?” Pyrites, scratching his head, unwill ingly adm itted: “About a fifth of a cent” “Great SCotti If that’s prospecting Tm through. Why, it costs me fifteen cents to fire one of my guns once I” cried Dinsdale In high disgust . Pyrites instantly regained his op timism. “The value of that pan simply proves there’s gold everywhere In these hills. This ain’t where we was aim ing for anyway. I want-to work close to the divide and locate a vein.” “That will be more like i t ” mumbled- Dinsdale. “I won’t bother to get my pan working till we strike something more promising." Eating ah early supper, the burros were loaded' and the. two struck to the southeast for a mile and then turned east into a dry water course and began mounting the divide. In ail they did not cover more than two miles before the slanting sun rays warned them it was time to uiake camp. Dinsdale left this m atter en tirely to Pyrites; and the location se lected . was dose by a spring, n ear, a growth of stunted-burr-oak. As Py rites. pitched the tent he commented:. ‘We’re below Elk buttes and about ten miles east of Eikhorn prairie.-Pd like to go over there and put In’ a few days.” T m more interested in the divide ahead,than in any grass prairie,” said Dinsdale. “Oh, we’ll look over the divide first, now we’re, within pistol shot of it.” “Any danger from horse thieves?” “Hoss thieves? Good IandI W hat made you think of hoss thieves? Let’s not have any outlaw talk. We’re hon est prospectors. We don’t' want any truck with unlawful men.” ‘That’s right,” heartily agreed Dins dale. “All I ask is not to be dis turbed In my goid-huntlng.” The next morning they breathed a white mist when they, crawled from the tent. Dinsdale was for an immediate departure for a higher level. Pyrites Insisted on breakfast and something of an examination of the gully they had been following. - “Just as you say. You’re the boss,” surrendered Dinsdale.-. “But T ve got the gold.fever and after we’ve had cof fee Tm, going to take my pan and strike out lip the ridge.” “You’ll get lost sure as apples,” re monstrated Pyrites. “You don’t know these hills, with their gorges and broken tops,” “I know hills much worse than these. Baked masses of dry cinders with no running water to tell you the lay of the land. This country is simple. Man can’t get lost, Don’t be afraid.” “Have it so. Hope you strike a bushel of nuggets. I’ll stick along here. You’ll be back by noon?” “Have dinner ready and eat. If I don’t show up. I may strike something big and forget; Tm hungry.” ' A short distance above his companion Dinsdale halted and dug down a foot and carefully;ex,amined the dirt: With out -water he could not determine what he had uncovered, but by rolling some, of the dirt between his fingers h e . was -rewarded with a small scale of coarse gold.' H e stuck a ' branch In the dirt to attract Pyrites’ attention and mounted higher.! • ; ■ Digglngmut samples at short inter vals and finding speck's Ufi gold In each he used up much of the'morning. Py- ritfes' waS: nowhere In sight. :.The ,sun Was nearly overhead,as he filled'his pan from the topmost mound. Brntead of hurrying down the ridge, howe*$r, he squared his -shoulders to get the kinks out of his back and glahced curiously about-the panorama of hills and ridges and .melancholy' woods. Then staring dqwh at the BWsh mound he m uttered: A--,v ::A ■ v “If you were all'pure gold, frfeifl dirt, I’d swap you in a second just to know what Jlm Omaha looks like: just to k n o w if be has reached Dead- wood City yet.” H e mounted the ridge to where it was dear of trees. The sun had con quered the mists and the heavens shone blue. To all appearances It was a dead land. No smokes were to be seen, no habitations, no sounds of hu man voices. And yet there were In dians lurking in the deep gulches and, rumor persisted, there were organized horse thieves with rendezvous on the divide, while possibly other lone pros pectors, like Pyrites, were, seeking fortune In the winding depths below. H e left his pan and pick while he re- connoltered the top of the ridge. He reached the crest only to discover an other and higher ridge 'ahead. H e descended Into the shallow valley, be tween the two and followed it down for a fourth of a mile, proceeding slowly and watchful for Indian signs. H e was surprised and keenly inter ested In turning a wooded bend to be hold a long log cabin ahead. Beyond It were half a dozen open sheds and a rough corral. He could; detect no signs of life about the place. W ith a shrug of his shoulders he boldly advanced, telling him self: “If any one , is there he m ust have seen me. I’m a lost prospector, trying to find old Iron Pyrites’’ • The cabin door w as closed and, what was unusual, blankets were hung over the small windows. These were lacking glass, but were partly blocked by strips of timber. He first examined the sheds and corrals.. None contained horses. “They’re ready to care for a heap of them when put to It,” he thought as he advanced to the door and rapped smartly. , As he. had expected there was no response. There w as a hole for a latchstring, but no rawhide thong was .visible. He tried the door and felt the bar resist the pressure. “B ut they get In some way,” he pon dered. He stepped back and examined th’e windows and then returned to the door. Then he smiled at the artfUl simplicity of it. The hole In. the door was never nsed for the latchstfing, but m erely to discourage a trespasser. At one side of the door and concealed by a strip of hanging bark was the thong. He seized it and tugged sharply. The bar rose inside and . the door swung open. Six rough bunks were on each of the side walls. The chimney and fireplace were at the farther end with several kettles and frying pans. Near the door was a table. This arrangement made it necessary to bring the food the en tire length of the room, an unnecessary inconvenience, he decided. Piled in one corner near the fireplace were seven saddles. Four of these did not look as if th ey . had ever been used. The ashes In the fireplace were cold and no fire could have burned there for twenty-four hours. Tiptoeing back to the door he puzzled over the awkward position of the table. His wonderment further increased when he discovered each of the four legs was bolted to the floor,, Ironmongery was easily procured in Deadwood City and other hill towns, but why any one should bother to bring iron clamps nnd screws to this isolated spot and make a rough slab table secure to the floor was a problem thaf challenged his Im agination.' •He took hold of the table and lifted. It did not give. H e glided to the side farthest from the door and repeated his experiment. W ith an exclamation he jumped back and the table banged down In. place again. He. had, lifted section of the floor along with the table. Returning to the' side next to the door he reached across and once more lifted and pulled The table tipped quite easily. ^ It was bolted to, and effectually concealed, a large trap door. When he finished the door stood upright at right angles with the’floor and the table rested on its. side. D arting to one of .the curtained win dows he pulled' back th e covering and briefly surveyed the .course h e 'h a d taken In coming down the sloping val ley. He took the same precaution at window on the opposite side. ' No one was In sight In either direction. From the door he looked' across to the rocky rim of the lesser: ridge. It was covered with pines. To excln- Ine the height In the east it would be necessary., for him' to leave'the cab in, as there was no window at the chimney end of the rooim H e decided to chance it without completing his reconnaissance. The owners of the place would be sure to approach from either up or down the valley. Returning to the open trapdoor, he struck a storm- match apd held it below the floor. There was a rude cellar formed by a natural depression or hole: It was about six feet deep beneath the open ing and had been shaped Wiiih a spade on the .sides, but the bottom of it seemed to be -solid rock.. The’ flare of the match also revealed a W dtacir box filled with packages done W to bagging and. blankets- i Dropping to the pound beneath he caught up the and held• it Injthe gaint 6tre^ nIWS tro u g h the trap and deftly untied the-cor* .: if contained tw enty watchesi ranging from a fedv’fi rimeplece ■ to a ;m assive eoldWeOtofii - ry for horses, or else one gang is working both branches of the busi ness,” he told himself as he carefully retied the package. The next package, much smaller than the first, held nothing but finger rings. The third package w as rich with gold dust and nuggets. W hat re-' malned he examined by 'the sense of touch and by weighing them In his hands. AU contained jewelry or nug gets. . Replacing the loot In its box he pur-’ sued bis quest- eagerly but found noth ing. He w as lifting his hands to catch the edge of the trap when tbe cabin door banged open. H is fingers were yanked back to pull his two re volvers. The newcomer stopped short on be holding the recUning table. Dinsdale sbufiled about and grumbled half alond. I “That you, Rusty?” demanded the man above. ■ , “Erhuh. Come down here,” growled Dinsdale. The man walked around the table and unsuspectingly lowered himself through the opening. As his feet touched the ground and as his hands were faUlng to his side Dinsdale brought the barrel of the heavy Colt Dinsdale Ran to- the Nearest Point of the Growth Despite the Possibility That Rusty Might Be Waiting to Receive Him. down on his- head. The fellow col lapsed and remained motionless. Dins dale stepped over the prostrate form and drew; him self up through the open ing and tipped the Drapdoor back in place: "That makes It awkward,” -he mut tered as he stepped to the open door and gazed up and down the valley. The man’s lack of suspicion and his readiness to accept an intruder as a member of the gaqg • indicated that some one known as “Rusty" was ex pected to be In the cabin; therefore, Rusty m ust be in\the immediate neigh borhood and likely to appear at any moment. While it w as reassuring to discover no body of men approaching the cabin lt' was disquieting to observe there were no horses In sight. The man. in the cellar had arrived von foot; and he m ust have come from the nearby wood or elBe he would have been seen from one of the two win dows before Dinsdale ventured through the trapdoor. It whs possible that he and his- friend Rusty had been to gether and had separated when near the cabin. This would perm it the sec ond m an to be in the woods opposite the door. Dinsdale ran to - the nearest point of the growth despite the possibility that Rusty might be waiting - to r e ceive. him. -Nor did he breathe freely until he plunged into Cover. SoOn he was back at the camp and PyrltM was dem anding:' “Where" In sfn have you been?” 'T ve been in a long narrow valley between . this and the next ridge,” wearily replied D insdale.. "And I had an adventure I nOvec—looked\ for.” Forthwith he recited his experience In the cabin and iiis; assault, on the man In the cellar. - . ': /.’•.• -.. “Now. you’ve gone and done I t!” groaned PyriteB, running to the bur ros. “Strike th a t tent and. help me pack, Good lord, of all the bad luck!

If two or more men escaped there wouldn’t be nny story, as tbs other survivors would speak and say it was a lie.” “Lie, nothing I” hotly cried PyrItea “Tom Renshaw did escape. He wss out hunting when the Indians rushed the camp. H e was returning with i deer when the smoke from the burn ing shacks and cabins warned him to be careful. From the top of a bluff bn looked down and saw the whole busi ness. H e hid In the woods and M off the deer meat till the Indians quit Then be went, into the burned camp and found a horse that had bolted into the timber. He uncached six hundred ounces of gold. Benshaw packed that gold to one of the heads of the Box Elder, not far from Deadwood Gulch, and hid it In a shaft his party dug before they entered the guich.’’ “How do you know all this?” skep tically asked Dinsdale. “Because Tom Renshaw1 nearly starved and with his hoss played Nb managed to reach the immigrant read, H e w as OUt of ammunition and threw away his gun. He lived on choke cherries, roots, and the pulp of prickly pears. 'He traveled by night because It was too cold to sleep without blan kets, and he slept in the daytime.

ICY DRINKS FOR HOT DAYS For the thirsty persons on a long outing by auto the vacuum bottle is -the best of friends. Fill it with epld water, lem onade or iced tea, in fact a n y t h i n g you enjoy drinking. Milk,’ if ^flav ored with a chocolate sirup, a' little strong cof fee, caramel or fruit 'sirups, malted milk com bined '.with chocolate,, if that is liked, makes a very wholesome and ,sustaining beverage. The fol lowing ,suggestions will be found easy to keep in the vacuum bottle. Ifo prepare the chocolate sirup which is so well liked and which may be added to so many drinks, take four, ounces of unsweetened chocolate, or seven-eighths of a cupful of cocoa, one and three-fourths cupfuls of sugar, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt, and one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water.

This front panel treatment Is. carried out not only In dressy cos tume but even In tailored suits some of the newest skirts are plain fitting at the back, with plaits brought to the direct front. When it comes to the daintier frocks fashioned of graceful silks, chiffons, crepes and voiles, the front fanciful effects assume the pic turesque. Just as In the accompany- dress of romantic Spain sorely Influ enced. the designer who createa the picturesque chapeau In the oval In the accompanying group of lace-laden hats.

Ing picture where the iffect Is not unlike that of the fascinating frocks worn by ladles of the old French court, whose silken skirts opened to reveal a petticoat ornate with ex quisite handwork. Only in this case Madam Mode chooses to use a front panel effect of accordion plaited chif fon, reserving the luxury of embroid ery for the overpart. Of unusual in terest are the handsome comer floral motifs, because they are embroidered with fine ribbon, after the manner of the lovely rococo ribbon work so popular during the . Louis XVI period. The -color . scheme of this adorable frock is poudre. bleu for the crepe silk with petticoat effect In' silver gray, the ribbon flowers worked In French tones emphasizing old rose, green and sliver. The Idea of frrfnt panel effectB is interpreted also In Interesting manner throughout simple daytime models. Straight-line black satin dresses open ing, redlngote fashion, over a front of plaited white georgette which extends from neck to hem, are of distin guished style. A row of fanciful but tons often traverses the center box plait, the crystal kind being preferred. Even tubable dresses carry out the front panel effect, A particulatfly In teresting model is made of peach-col ored wash' ratine. It preserves the stylish tubelike silhouette at tbe back, revealing at the front a plaited panel of sheer white cotton voile caught into a plain band of the fabric, forming ;ber of cocoa lace hats. The shapes are often those that droop at the sides, quite like the charming model shown In the center left of this group. Lace, a very filmy sort, Is draped about the crown which in the picture Is of finest inilan straw although transparent cocoa hair hats are equally in favor. Also brown malines shapes which pre serve a desired transparency. A large soft lace bow effect halos the hat In a mist of cocoa-colored silken mesh as fragile as a cobweb In ila iltlWale Lace-snirred brims, such as is shown in the upper left corner, are fashion able. They serve as the foundation over which is draped an airy-fairy ex panse of lace. \ Veils, In name, but really decorative trims, are’ some of the lace curtain ef fects adjusted to hats of straw or satin according to preference. There is such a mode illustrated below to the right It is a very dark-brown satin with an interesting crown. The veil is a radiant light brown, which shows a threading of gold metal In its patterning. .Large bows of lace or shirred ma lines or Smoothly covered fabric shapes are very frequent. Usually a drape of the lace curtains the brim edge. Sometimes one end of the lace is brought, down to serve as a neck scarf, not from the utility standpoint, but purely for picturesque effect.

If a man in New York were to buy a ticket for San Francisco and then walk, to- Chicago before boarding the train you would think him foolish in deed. Yet, is not the farm er who plows his fields ana sows his grain, cares for it through the long summer and carefully harvests the crops, only', upon threshing; the bundles of loaded grain,! to blow a large part of it over .nto the! straw pile, liable to the same accusation? Inefficient operation of threshing machines Is responsible for a great many bushels! of wasted grain, says the United States Department of Agriculture. TimeandGraInLort-. Any standard ' threshing machine- will do its work with very little waste of grain or loss of time, if kept In good condition, adjusted properly for the particular jo b . on which It, is en gaged, furnished with the proper amount of power applied correctly and watched InteIligIntly while in op eration. Nevertheless, It is true that a great amount of time is lost and a large amount of grain wasted unneces sarily In threshing. - - , Al! thresher m anufacturers have endeavored to make their machines as efficient as possible and the con struction such that they will give a' minimum of trouble. However, there are so many parts to a threshing ma chine, and it must work under such a wide range of conditions, that numer ous adjustments must be left for the operator to make in the field, and careful attention is required for • its successful operation. If a machine fails to separate all of the-grain from the straw it is', usually due to one or more of the following causes: (I) The machine Is not being run at its proper speed, (2) the cylin der fails to thresh all of the kernels out of the heads, (3) the separating m echanism . is not level, or (4) the blast Is not adjusted properly. Crop Owner interested. Naturally the thresherman is not Sb vitally concerned in getting every bushel of !grain from the straw as is the crop owner, because it only means two or three cents to him for each bushel saved, whereas to the crop ow ner/it means the price of the en-. tire bushel, a m atter of 50 or 60 cents, or more, depending upon the kind of grain being threshed and the price of it on the market. " The crop owner, therefore, should be versed In the op eration of the machine and at least know whether the, separator m an has his machine adjusted for the most .ef ficient results possible. Farm ers’ Bullotin^991, issued by the United States Department of Agricul ture, has been w ritten for the. infor mation of farm ers who have grain threshing to do, and discusses the various points to watch In the efficient operation of the threshing machine. A' copy may be secured, as—long as the supply lasts, by writing to the United States Department ' of Agriculture, Washington! Three Great Objects of . Cultivation Discussed In urging the proper tilling of the soil, the New York State College of Agriculture points out that cultivation has three main objects: Killing weeds, loosening the soil and saving m oisture; further, this is said to be probably the order of their importance. Weeds must be kept, down and the earlier they are disturbed after germi nation the easier tbdy are killed. The critical time is the period between planting and the time when the crop is large enough to cultivate without covering the plants. , For corn and potatoes, th e tillage with the harrow or: weeder.ts likely to. be the making of-the crop so far as cultivation is concerned, The start the. crop gets on the WiCeds is likely to be maintained, espe'clally In the rows. Assuming good fitting' of the soil and a reasonably'good tilth, two inches ts the. maximum depth' of cultivation desirable. Greater depth - is likely to stim ulate weeds by bringing up-,more seeds.

(Prepared by the Vnlted Statee Departm ent of Agriculture.) The propagation of plants by the use of cuttings is one of the oldest methods known, and (nntll recently it was considered necessary for the best results that the rooting work should be carried on In a ■ well-equipped greenhouse, using steam coils to ,sup ply bottom' heat. The lack of such equipment,’■ however, and the expense of providing it, have been serious ob-. jections, to any widespread use of vegetative propagation except with plants easily rooted out of doors. This has been overcome to a considerable extent by the development by .the United States Department of Agricul ture of a propagating fram e which uses sunlight as a source of bottom heat. It has been found to give excel lent results with the plants experi mented with, including, most of, the standard citrus root stocks, as well a s , the newer- hybrids. ‘ The method and the experimental results are described In Department Circular 310, ‘!The Solar Propagating' Frame for/Rooting Citrus and Other Subtropical Plants,” just Issued, The construction of the fram e is simple and the method Is economical and offers considerable promise; for other groups of plants, especially of sub tropical character. Ib e use of the solar rooting fram e is obviously best adapted to the warmer portions of the country having a relatively large amount of sunshine. A copy of the circular may be se cured, as long as the supply lasts, from the .United States Department of Agripulture, Washington. Nicotine Dust Is Used in Killing Plant Lice Nicotine dust is the substance rec ommended by the college of agricul ture at New Brunswick for controlling the aphids which are so abundant on vegetable crops throughout New Jer sey this year. To prove the effectiveness of this substance in killing the pest a demon stration was' conducted June 3 on the farm of William Hookstra, Beverly, N. J. Dust containing 3 per cent nico tine was applied with a power duster. The next day an !examination showed that the killing was nearly 100 per cent. The dust is easily applied, and as this and other trials have shown, it is thorough In Its work. Application should be made after the ,dew Is off and when the sun is shining brightly. Since the aphids are usually concealed beneath the leaves, considerable force should be used in applying the dust. A one-horse two-row duster that will go through spaces six inches wide be tween the rows has just been placed on the market. T his is particularly adapted to applying nicotine dust, . Growers of peas, beans, early celery, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant,, and peppers must use in creased vigilance and care If they -are to free themselves from the ravages of the aphis pest this year. Coal Oil Used to Cure GrubinHeadofSheep Even with care some sheep will manifest grub in the head which are the larvae of the sheep lot. The symp tom is a discharge of heavy, Thick mu cus which sometimes seals quite across the nostrils. The sheep 'a re continu ally snorting to'rid themselves of the grub which is In the sheep’s nasal passages or up In the sinuses which are inside of the. head just above each of the eyes. To treat, lay the sheep; on their back, feet up, and pour about a teaspoonful. of coal oil into ^each nostril,. hold a few minutes and the cure is completed since the .grubs; are. killed and the SheepilWill snort them out. Don’t let the sheep hold up lt$ -head, but-just lift the nose about an- inch from the ground. Just enough so the.coal oil'w ill run down and drain Into each sinus. , - W et weather often/brings ,insect pests.

FARM< POULTRY ATTENTION NEEDED FOR YOUNG TURKEYS A fter the first five or six weeks, roosts should be supplied for the young turkeys. Ordinarily, if. there are open trees or rail fences in wood ed spots, or' other natural protection, no especial pains need be taken to supply roosts. However, where there are high winds it is better to buU dthe roosts In a shed or next to the bam , or under trees where there Is some protection. An excellent way to do this is to set the pests In: the ground and lay poles across them, at a height of from four to five feet. The evening feed should be given to the turkeys hear this roosting place' Just before dark. It may be necessary, at first, to drive them to the place, but after a time they will eome up every evening for their feed and will go to roost w ithout any extra bother. By handling the turkeys in this way, the chances of loss will be greatly reduced and this little first, trouble wIU pay In re turned dividends* says the Successful Farm er. During the summer, when wide range is available, little attention need be paid to the turkeys. Along about October .or November they will leave th e . brood mother, th e m ales ranging ordinarily by themselves and the females In another group. About this time it is usual to begin th e fat tening if the.turkeys are intended for Thanksgiving trade. Along about Oc tober I begin feeding a little eom night and morning. Do not fefed enough that the turkeys wiU be per fectly, satisfied. Feed Just the- quan tity which will Insure that they will continue ranging and taking the exer- cisf which Is necessary for their health, Another object which is some times sought In feeding night and morning is the prevention of too wide ranging upon neighboring farms. It Is not possible to successfully confine turkeys altogether. However, they may be kept up until noon and In this way be prevented from ranging too widely. Live Poultry Prepared for Best Market Price M arketing the poultry In live form Is usually the most satisfactory meth od for poultrymen to pursue, unless the distance is so great as to make the shipping cost prohibitive. Poultry may be m arketed both in live and dressed form, but the skill and experi ence required to finish and dress the birds for m arket m ake It advisable not to kill. Most poultry raisers do not have the necessary skill to- feed out, kill and pick the birds In a way to bring the highest m arket price. The lower quality of the product is. very apt to more than offset the lower shipping cost and the .-.feeder’s profit Alsoi there is more danger of Improper handling and spoilage In tran sit Poultry, to be shipped In live form, should always be fattened before kill ing. This means better quality, more weight and a considerably higher price per pound. Poor and underfed poul try Is hard to keep without Spoiling, an d 'if kept long It deteriorates great ly In appearance. The m arket Is usu ally overstocked with poor poultry and understocked with first-class birds. All-poultry, whether marketed dressed or alive,- should be shut up In pens and fed, from ten days to two weeks or more before Shipment. Feather Picking Caused by Lack of Ingredient , Feather picking Is generally., caused by a lack of some ingredient In the ration which is necessary .to the: hen. For. one thing,..they may lack animal fodd, such as meat, and It is a good plan In-this case to put a hopper of high-grade beef scraps before Uie hens and keep it there. In case; this doesn’t do the work it will be neces sary to h;:? fresh meat daily and feed them' a xlmited amount. The best method of feeding is to hang bn a string , or wire just about as high as the' hen’s"; head, possibly- half itn inch higher. Do Not Force Pullets Early hatched pullets should not be forced to quick m aturity by heavy feeding of mash, lest \they begin Iky ing prem aturely and go into a winter m olt.' These pullets destined for breeders should be raised upon free range and fed largely ' upon, whole grain, that they may "develop slowly and wrtl mid go Into w inter quarters In good firm flesh, ; with undimlnlshed Vlgort. for the coining season’s produc tion:- ,Lights .should; not be used, un- legs it is found necessary early Ih Jan uary to stim ulate egg production.

Bryan, the Damocratic candidate for Vice President is not a member of apy ehrrch and flatly says so. He is not beating around the bush lik6 -Davis.

Besides Grover Cleveland, the Presbyterian Presidents were: Jack- • son, Polk. Buchanan, Lincoln, Ben jamin Harrison and • Wilson.

R eno In A S lum p. Reno; where moat of the citizens live only six months, is in a slump, they say. Several of its Jivorce mills have shut down and others are go ing only on part time. This worries the industrious^, tradesmen,' hotel- tradesmen, hotelkeepers, lawyers and others; and, 'filled with ojvic pride and enterprise.' they have started a campaign to bring back thedivtrces. -Marry and move to Reno.” might be their slogan. Everybody knows of Reno. Just I mention the name in any company ,and there will be a laugh. It has i has a reputation that would make a fertilized factory smell sweet. De c e n t people make a detour to avoid it. Others go. but get away as soon as they can; tqey don’t want to be caught there. If those who, went there to live six months,; were only kept there for life both they and the ,town would be properly punished. But Reno is losing ground. Up to 1918 it. was turning out some S1OOO divorce decrees a year. . Last year the number was only 789. Reno is worried. If married people lived sanely and remained happily nobody would regret it more than lawyers in. Keno. But they doubtless' have a right to be cynical. They think the rich woman wanting a divorce goes .preferably to Paris because of free dom of life, lack of restrainment and Uie-* at tractive depravity of the place. Therefore they are planning to make Reno very bad, very naugh ty, full of drinking places and gam bling houses, just to beat Paris. ' ' It all proves how far men 5yill go when reputation is already gone and honor is hanging by-a thread; With their past experience they do not bulk at violating the law and be: smirching a whole community, not to say State.- But the :rest of the State is not willing. There has been a how! of protest, and a threat ta make a legislature change the dis graceful divorce laws, The rest of the State has suffered a lot from j Keno’s reputation the town is now taking, or planning, is the very one to cure it. It is now so bad that to ma;e it worse will kill it. Even vice- ioving divorce' seekers would be ashamed to go there. Public opinion in America, though often tolerant or careless about things at. a distance, ’ :s not so easy-going nor to helpless I that it will allow itself to be indefi jnitely outraged. i Renoir not very -likely to “do a com .4ack” as planned, and the State and nation will not in the future have to blush for this dark. and ill I smelling spot which has Identified it i self with one of the worst evils of I the country. It the 60' vears Nevada ha? been in the Union there hav;j I been 10,000 more divorces -granted there than there are people in the State—a record not to be proud of If the State .

Far the last three years styles have so resembled one another that a woman ha3 not, had to buy a. new dress ifntis the olp one wore out re- suiting In great losses to the trade, especially in America, which is Paris’ big customer and good thing. So Paris fashion-mongers, are busy thinking up something. “Short dress es for short hair” will be one of their slogans. Then they are going to re; turn to the waistline, pinched bodies accentuating the body; also the hips will return—if they can put the fashions over. The question at issue noiv is the shape of the skirt—wheth er this, too, is to be tightly laced or loose. If tight, that means the cor set is bound to come back. and. that thousands of healthy womf-n will shortly be flocked to the storls to buy them. Anyhow, If the French cresstnakers-have their way. we shall soon see the last of the. clinging straight-line styles which now adorn the feminene form, but doubtless more slender.pocketbooks. C onscience F u n d Too,Sm all. The “conscience fund” of the Treasury Department now totals more than $600,OdO and should be a great deal larger. The first con- tributian was receiveu in 1811, when President Madison found a $2 bill on his desk with a note saying the writ er had stolen that amouat from the government. The President direct ed the money be credited to “ac count conscience;” The incident wa3 published in all the newspapers and the "conscience f^nd was establish ed. The amount received at Wash ington while President WilsonVwas in office was §100,060.' Much too little! No war profiteer has came a- cross. The fund was enriched to the extent of $46,162 n President Roose velt’s administration. A few years ago a Civil War. veteran sent $200 for a'nuIe he. had stolen from the government. A Chicago postil e'erk recently sent $5 to Washington, ac companied by a note saying the money was for "‘one day’s wages not earned.” <3°. t9?4 f i i e r e c o i North Carolina I In the' Superior -Davie County, y Court IiL* JI.|\ A Tl [Tl 1*1 ill if,.*, A .* I LIFE INSURANCE. f S.
