Itiis probable that N orth Caro lina orators and keepers of. sacred listsof firsts will not refer so m uch to the state’s position all an agri cultural money-maker. The cold figures of the federal departm ent of agriculture as broadcast by the state departm ent reveal a drop from fifth position to i2th-position. More im portant than the actual drop in rank is the drop of m ore’ than 95 millions of dollars harvested front •North Carolina fields' in 1924 as compared;; w ith 1923. T hat is a feaVK>&'r- '~~~r T.'-j-' . Y et it was to be expected. Farm ers who had-lived'through a veai of perverse seasons knew it was coming. “ The late spring cold, the June weather, the dry summer in the pidm ont and Septem ber’s misastrouo rain y . period” are the reasons' cited by Raleigh. This was a combination ot ill fortune a gainst which' the best efforts of man could do nothing. The farm ers of the state at the satue time were ob serving" great gocd fortune else Where. Kansas jum ped from m b to fourth position, probably by reason of the rise in grain prices Oklahoma went from 13th to sixth place for the same reason. Nebraska gained two rungs: in the ladder, and for the same reason, and North Dakota shot up all the way from 27th to 10th place, certainly by the grace of the election prices on wheal Nevertheless, the fields - of ■ tlTe state show a crop value of. more than 320.millions of dollars, W ith this as a basis, and with a fair di vision of- fortune in-weather, there is no reason why .th e farm ers of N orth Carolina should not pick up again the 95 millions they dropped aud.perhaps add to it. The - state departm ent finds that “ iu spite of the adverse , w eather conditions throughout the year N orth Caro lina farm ers have complained much less than they had reason for.” T hey could have made no progress complaining aoout the weather. Surely it is a sign of intelligence hot to complain about that which can not be remedied; and if they •‘tan be depended on to go ahead with the 1925 plans Witli more op timism thaii m ight bfe expected," it s another tribute to them rather than to those who expect, to see tnem lay down their tools and quit, d u ly greater ill fortune—and that, is not to-ibe ', expected—will keep therifc-f rom * pul hug t he . state back where she has been-before and., can be-again—G reensboro "News. - - •There is a lot of “ romanee”j in the movies th at would make peo ple h ugh their heads off if it were actually to happen m real life..

According to all available records the biggest snowfall in N orth Caro lina fell in February, 1804. Au ac count of this snow is recorded in an old newspaper now in possession of Mrs. G. A. Baker, of Gaston county. T he story related that on the 14th day of'February, 1804*. it be gan snowing at 2 o’lock, and snow ed without interruption for-three nights and four days and that at. the end of that time, tlie snow was' six feet deep on the level, aud level with the eaves of one story houses where it drifted." The story acquires added interest from the fact, that it is not a tradi tion, handed dowii by word . of mouth from .generation to genera tion, but is; taken from a written doenment—a d iry —kept by a Mrs. Rogers, who lived in Union county not far from -the present town of .VIonroe. _ The" greatest snowfall in the memory'of the present generation to accur. in this section was ou Februarv 14. 1S99. where the snow measured 14 inches 011 the livel 111 W instan-Salem.

North Carolina. The Erskine mem orial church has been recorganized as a ,strictlv community church, open to any person desiring to sign a simple covenont expressing tfieir intention of affiliating with the ehurcm in the worship of-G od. This lias resulted iu the addition of mauy new members. . The expres sion “community church,” is not intended to convey to the outside world the impression that this is the only churcli in Tryon,. bu: that inis intended to meet the needs of che community. The covenant reads; "In the search for truth, and in the spirit of Jesus, I unite with the Erskiiie Memorial church, for the worship of God and the service of m an.” Persons of any faitn are enteud- ed the membership and the con stitution is broad and constructive in every phrase. W ith the belief that every indivi dual is entitled to self expre ;sion concerning his or her interpreta tion of the teachings of the lowly Nazarine, no restrictions have, been built around the privileges of mem bership in the Erskine Memorial church W hile retaining its affiliation with the Congressional church, in dividual members are ;ffee to:- as sign their missionary offerings to any church, of any denomination anywhere. ' Possessing, a handsome ' church building, built and furnished By the late Charles E. Erskine, the Ers- kiue 'th e Erskine Memorial church is attractively located in the most beautiful section of Tryon. Farm Work Inactive. According to ’the State crop re> porting service, given out by Frank Parker, State against agriculture statistician the month of January thus far has been unfavorable for farm work. The soil has. been too wet for working and even roads are almost impossible. The tempera* ture has been almost normal for this season. Conditions are more favor able for outside activities. Things are generally inactive on farms, due to the cold and wet con ditions There it practically no evidence of any kind of field work except the cutting of stalks where conditions permit. * Very little corn is now let on the s’alks in the fields. The am ount will probably not ron over two per cent. Vluch of the land has not had the stalks cut yet.- Practically-all of the corn area had the leaves stripped from the stalks during the ptist sea son. The shortage in vield is result ing in more then the usual im porta tion of corn. ; W hilethereisstillsom ecotton to be seen in the fields, practically all of it has been picked.; There is usu al amount of strained lint, due to the winter picking. 'AU kinds of reports are made con- cerning,livestock. In- the main, it appears that conditio nh are about as usual for this season.; The num ber ,of reports are fairly ? balanced be tween those reporting “ poor” and 1 good” conditions; al* >, between “ low prices” and “good\sales.” _. . Tobacco sales Have, of ct*urse, been less than last year: An increase in thiss crop is expected thjsyear. Long feed 1^ generally short. Corn and oats are the shortest;, fo r many vears.

A DREAM. The following poem was found on the street between Spencer and Salis bury, and is supposed to have been lost by some unknown traveler on his journey from the latter place to Spencer; Tom Gray lay down op the bar-room floor Having drank so much he could drink no more. So he fell asleep with a troubled brain To dream that he pode on a hell- bound train. The engine with blood was red and damp. And brilliantly lit by a brimstone - lamp. An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones, - While the furnace rang with a thous and groans. The boiler was filled with lager beer And the devil himself was the ei - gineer, The passengers made such a motley crew. Church member, atheist, gentile at d Jew. Rich men in broadcloth and beggers . in rags. Handsome young ladies with wither ed old hag^; Yellow and black, red, brown a td white. All chained together, what a hor rible sight. W hilethetraindashedonat aa aw ful pace. The hot winds scorched their hands and face. Wilder and wilder the country grew And faster and faster the ergine fiew Louder and louder th& thunder ^ crashed, .. And brighter and brighter the light ning Hisned. Hotter aud hotter the air became Till the clothes were burned from each quivering frame. Then in the distance there rose such a yell, “ Ha. ha,” croaked the devil, "w e’re nearing hell.” Then! oh, how the passengers shriek* ed with pain And begged the devil to stop the train. But he capered about and sang with glee. And laughed and joked a t theif agony. “ M y faithful friends, you have d on e my work, And the devil can never a pay day shirk.” "You have bullied the weak and rob* .bed the-poor, And the starving brother turned from your door. You have laid up gold where the canker rusts And given free vent to your fleshly lusts ” “ You have justice scorned and cor ruption sown, And trampled the laws of nature down. You have drank and. rioted and m ur dered and lied, And mocked at God in your hell- born pride.” “ You have paid full fare, so I’ll car- , ry you through. For it is only right you should get your due Why the laboreralw ays expects his hire. ' So I’ll land you safe in the lake' of fire.” “ W here your flesh shall roast Sn the - flames that roar, .. And mp imp torm ent you more and m ore.” ThenTom awoke with an agonized cry. His clothes soaked with sweat and - hieftasfffandm g high. Then lie prayed as he never pi ayid before To-be saved from drink and the de\’- il’s power, t And his vows and prayers were not I m vain I Fur he never more rode on a hel * t bound tram . \ : - - - A .

It is impossible for a working man to pay twenty to thirty dollars per m onth house rent and work only a part of the time or even full time on a small salary. If the town is to grow we m ust have som ething to offer the outsider or they will not . locate among us.

One taxpayer telte the officers through the Daily that if they are not satisfied With the salaries they are now getting that there is plenty of time for them to pnt out a big corn and cotton crop this year, that there are plenty of good people in Iredell who will be glad to take the various OfiBees at the present salaries. W e shall a- wait with much interest the out come of this m atter. Did anyone ever, hear of an.Iredell Democrat re signing an office? There is a great howl going up for the legislature to appoint some extra judges and solicitors. Some of the faithful-brethren are want ing a job. In our opinion N ortu Carolina is pretty well supplied w ith these necessary officers. We see no reason why court dockets should be congested if the judges, solicitors and IaiWyers will do their job. Davie county has four courts e.ich year when we really need but two. The judges come to Mocks- vnle four times each year and is supposed to spend; about five weeks m a year here disposing of the cn- ininal and em l,docket. As a gen era! thing the-judge is ready to leave town on Tuesday or Wednes-' day afternoon, when the court is supposed to put in the entire week. We don’t 'believe that a judge speuds-as much as twelve days a year here holding court. The rest of the . five weeks wc suppose he spends at home and gets the same - am ount of-pay as if he put in full tim e Instead of putting in extra judges.why not keep the ones we have on th e job?

Washington.—The postal pay and rate increase bill was passed by the senate. It carries the same provisions for salary increases, effective as of July I, 1924, as the measure passed last session and vetoed by President Coolidge. The rate increases would apply to practically every form of mail service, ■but these were considerably modified" from the original recommendations of the post office department, particular ly on second class mail. The rate increase would become ef fective April 15 of this year and ex pire February 15, 1926, with a provis ion for an investigation by a joint con gressional committee with a view to enactment next session of permanent legislation. The vote on passage was 70 to 8, with Senators Borah, Brookhart1 Nor- beck and Norris, republicans, and Glass, Harrison, Swanson and Under wood, democrats, opposing it. The senate passed phe bill shortly after house leaders had served notice they would ask for its immediate re turn from that body on the ground "that it was revenue raising legislation and as such could be initiated only in the house under the constitution. Return of the bill to the senate, if effected by the house, will make it necessary,, in 'order to enact it, for the house to initiate the legislation, pass it&nd send it to the senate for repassage. The measure has yet to be considered by the house post office committee and some time is expected to elapse before it reports to the bouse. rBlepresentatives Longworth1 Ohio, and Garrett, Tennessee, the republi can and democratic leaders, respec tively, both. declared against accept ance of the bill from the senate, and were supported by the unanimous opinion of a house ways and means sub-committee that the measure con stituted, through its rate increases, jwtenue (raising legislation, • despite the sena^ opinion that it had the right to act first on the bill as ex pressed in votes defeating proposals by Senator' Swanson, democrat, Vir ginia, to enliminate the rate section.

Copyrlsht by Chertos ScrtbnerpP Sons Judith of Blue Lake Ranch Bjr JACKSON OREGORY CHAPTER XVI—Continued *18™ Theu Lee told him ot Judith. Car son’s good eye opened wide with in terest. Carson’s bruised lips sought to form for a whistle .which managed to give them the air. of a maidenly pout. “He had the nerve!” he muttered. “Trevors had the nerve I Bud, we ought to make a little call on that gent.” Then, seeing Lee’s face, Carson realized that anything he might have to remark on this score was super fluous. Lee had already thought of that. They roped a couple of the wander ing horses, improvised hacknmores from the rope cut In two, and went to meet Judith. Carson snatched eag erly at her hand and squeezed it and looked Inexpressible things from his one useful eye. He gave his saddled horse to her, watched her and Lee ride on to the ranch, and sent Tommy to the old cabin for another rope, while he rounded up some more horses in a narrow canyon for Burkitt and Hampton. “You d—n fool,” he said growling- Iy to Hampton, “look what you’ve done.” “Of course I’m a d—n fool,” replied Hampton, by now his old cheerful self. “I've apologized to. Judith and Lee and Burkltt. I apologize to you. I’Ll tell you confidentially that I’m a sucker and a Come-on-Cliarlie. I haven't got the brains of a jack-rab- blt." Carson went away grumbling. But for the first time he felt a vague re spect for Pollock Hampton. “He’ll be a real man some day,” thought Carson, “if the fool-biller don’t pick him off first.’’ * * * * * ’ * * “You may come and see me this evening,” Judith told Bud Lee as he left her to Marcia’s arms. “I’ll be eating and sleeping and taking baths until then. Thank you for the bacon "-and the water—and—” ' She smiled at him from Marcia’s excited embrace. Bud Lee, the blood tingling through him, left her. “Before I come to you, Judith girl," he whispered to, himself as Ue went, “I’ll have to have a little talk with Bayne Trevors." CHAPTER XVH Lee and Old Man Carson Ride Together Bud Lee, riding alone toward the Western Lumber camp, turned in his saddle to glance back as be hearg. hoof-beats behind him. It was Carson, and the old cattleman was riding hard. Lee frowned. Then for an in stant a smile softened his stern eyes. “Good little old Carson,” he mut tered. Carson came to his side, saying merely in Iiis dry voice: “Mind if I come along. Bud? You an' me have rid into one thing an' another more’n just once.” “This is my fight," said Lee coolly. “Who said it wasn’t?” demanded the other querulously. “Only you ain’t got any call to be a hawg. Bud. Besides, I got a right to see if there’s a fair break, ain’t I? Say, look at them cow brutes back yonder! Don’l it beat all how silage, when you use It right, shapes 'em up?” Few enough words were said as the miles were flung. behind them; few were needed. A swift glance showed Carson that Lee carried a revolver in his shirt; his own gun rode plainly in evidence in front of his hip. IYhat little conversation rose between them was of ranch matters. They spoke of success now with confidence. These two foremen alone could see the money in late winter and early spring from their cattle and horses to carry the Blue Lake venture over the rap ids. Then there werq the other re sources of tlie diversified- undertak ing, the hogs, the prize stock, the olives, poultry, dairy products. And soon or late Western LuUiher would pay the price for the timber tract, soon, if they saw that they bad to pay it or lose the forests which they had so long counted upon. Lumber values were mounting every day. NeiHier man, when It chanced that Bayne Trevors’ name was casually mentioned, suggested: “Why not go to the law?" For to them it was very clear that, once in the courts, the man who had played safe would laugh at them. Against Judith’s oath that he had kidnaped her would stand Trevors’ word that he had done noth ing of the kind, coupled with his care fully established perjured alibi and the lying testimony of the physician who had visited Judith in the cave. This man and that might he rounded up. Shorty and Benny and Poker Face, and if any of- them talked—which perhaps none of them would—at most they would say.that they had no or ders from anybody but Quinnion. And where was Quinnion, who stood as a buckler between TTevors and prosecu tion? And what buckler in all the world can ever stand between one man and another? ' Now and then Carson sent a qei-k Questioning glance toward Lee’s in scrutable face; now and then he sighed, his thoughts his own. Bud Lee, knowing his companion as he did, shrewdly guessed that Carson was hoping that events, might so befall that there would be an open, free-for- all fight and that he might not be forced to play the restless part of a mere onlooker. Bud Lee hoped otherwise. - . ■ “There’s two ways to get a man,” said Carson meditatively, out of a long silence. “An’ both Is good ways: with a gun or with your hands.” “Yes,” agreed Bud quietly. “If it works out gun way,” continued Carson, still with that thoughtful, half-abstracted look in his eyes, “it don’t hurt to remember. Bud, that he shoots left-handed an’ from the hip." Lee merely nodded. Carson did not look up from the bobbing ears of his horse as he continued: “If it works out the other way an’ it’s just fists, it don’t hurt to remem ber how Trevors put out Scotty Webb Inst year In Rocky Bend. Four-footed style, striking with his boot square in Scotty’s belly.” Trevors’ name was not again re ferred to even in the vaguest terms. The road in front of them, at last dropping down Into the valley in which the lumber-camp was, straight ened out into a lane that ran between stumps to the clutter of frame build ings. “Something doing at the office,” of fered Carson, as they drew near. “Di rectors’ meeting, likely." Two automobiles stood In the road ten steps from the closed door of the unpretentious shack which bore the printed legend, ‘‘Office, Western Lum ber Company." The big red touring- car certainly belonged to Melvin, the company’s president. Carson looked curiously at Lee. Bud dismounted, dropped his horse’s reins, shifted the revolver from his shirt to his belt where it was at once unhidden and loosely held, ready for a quick draw. Tlien he went up the three steps, Carson at Ills heels; his gun also unhidden and ready. From within came voices, one in protest, Bayne Trevors’ ringing out, filled with mastery followed by a laugh. Lee set his hand to the door. Then, only be cause it was locked from within, did he knock-sharply. “Who is it?” came the sharp in quiry. But the man who made it and who was standing by the door, threw It open. “What do you want?” he demanded again. "We’re busy." “I want to see Trevors," said Lee coolly. “You can't. He—” Lee shoved the man aside and strode on. Carson, close at Lee’s heels, his eyes glittering, stepped a little aside when once he was within the room and took his place with his back against the wall close to the door. It was a big, bare, barn-like room, furnished simply with one long table and half a dozen chairs. Here were five men besides Bayne Trevors. AU except Trevors and the man who had opened the door were seated; Trevors, at the far end of the room, was stand ing, an oratorical arm slowly drop ping to his side. His eyes met Lee’s, ran quickly to Carson’s, came back to Lee's and rested there steadily. Beyond the slow falling of his extended arm, he did not move. The muscles of bis face hardened, the look of triumph which just now had stood in Ills eyes changed slowly and in its place came an expression that was twin to that in Bud Lee’s eyes, just a look of in scrutability with a hint of watchful ness under It, and, tlie hardness of agate. While a man might have drawu a deep breath into his iungs and expelled it, neither Lee nor Trev- irs stirred. “What the devil is this?” demanded Melvin from across the table. “Hold up or what?" He rapped the table resoundingly. ^ “Shut up!” snapped Carson. “It's just a .two-man play, Melvin: Lee an' Trevors.” “Oh,” said Melvin, and sank back, making no further protest. He was no strnnger to Carson or' to Bud Lee. and he sensed what might lie between Lee and a -mdn like Trevors. Then, shrugging his shoulders, he said care lessly: “I’m not the man to get in other men’s way, and you know it, Carson. nut you might’ teli your friend Bud Lee that Bayne Trevors is rather a - big man influentially to mix things, with. live just resigned tills morning and Trevors is our new president.” "Thanks,” returned Carson- dryly. “I don’t tliink that'll make much dif ference though, Melvin. Most’ likely you’ll have two presidents, resigning the same .day.” At last Lee spoke. “Trevors,” he said quietly, “maybe the law can’t get you. But I can. For reasons which both you and I under stand you are going to clear out of this part of the country.” “Am' I?” asked Trevors The look of his eyes did not alter, the poise 01 his big body did not shift, his hands, both at his sides again, might have been carved in broDze. Then suddenly he laughed . and threw out his arms in a wide gesture and again dropped them, saying -shortly: “You’re playing the game the way I thought you would. You’ve got a gun, I am unarmed—begin your shooting and be d—d to you!” He even stepped forward, his eyes fearlessly upon Lee’s, and settled his big frame comfortably in a chair by the table. "Go siusd,” he concluded. ’Tm ready.” “That’s as It should be!” Lee’s voice was vibrant. His hard eyes bright ened. With a quick jerk he drew the revolver from his belt and dropped it to the floor at Carson’s feet. Carson, thongh he stooped for it quickly, dSd not shift his watchful eyes from Trevors. For Carson had known more fights in his life, than he had years; he knew men, and looked to Trevors for just the sort of thing Trevors did. As Lee stepped forward, Trevors snatched open the drawer of Hie table at his side, quick as light, and whipped out the weapon which lay there. “Go slow, Trevors!” came old Car son’s dry voice. “I’ve got you cov ered already, two-gun style.” Trevors, even with his finger crook ing to the trigger, paused and saw the two guns in Carson’s brown bands trained unwaveringly upon him. There was much deadly determination in Carson’s eyes. Again Trevbrs laughed, drawing back his empty hand. “You yellow dog!" grunted Bud Lee, his tone one of supreme disgust. “You d—d yellow dog!” Trevors shrugged. “You see, gentlemen—two to one, with the odds ail theirs.” “You lie!” spat out Carson. “It’s one to one an’ I’ll see the game goes square.” He stepped forward, re moved the weapon from the table un der Trevors’ now suddenly changeful eyes, and went back to his place with his back to the wall. “For God’s sake!” cried the one nervous man in the room, he who had opened the door. “This Is murder!” Melvin smiled, a smile as cheerless ‘‘Or, Do You Want Padded Gloves and Someone to Fan You?” as tlie gleam of wintry starlight on a l)it of glass. “Will you fight him, Trevors?” he asked. “With your hands?” “Yes,” answered Trevors. “Yes.” “Move back the table,” commanded Melvin,' on his feet In an instant. “And the chairs. Get them back.” The table was dragged to the far end of the room; the chairs were piled upon it. “Now,” and Melvin’s watch was in his hand, his voice coming with me tallic coldness, “it’s to a finish, is it? Three-mlnute rounds, fair fighting, no—” But now at last Bayne Trevors' blood was up, his slow anger had kindled, he was moving his feet rest lessly. •D—n it,” he shouted, “whose fight is this but mine and Lee’s? If he wants a fight, let him come and get it; a man’s fight and rules and rounds and time be d—d! Am I to dance around here and sidestep and fence just for you to look pn? ... . . Carson!” \ “Well?” said Carson. “Lee challenges me doesn’t he? Then I’m the man to name' the sorl of fight, am I not? Is that fair?” ' “Meaning just what?" asked Car son. . ■ “Meaning that I am going to 'get him, get him any way I can! You let us fight this out our way, any way, and no interference!" “Talk to Bud Ibere11T -Tejoined tht old cattleman calmly.- “It ain’t my scrap.” “Then, Lee,” snapped Trevors., ••come on if you want such a fight as you’d gnt. !£ you and-1 were alone In the mountains, with no man to watch, a ft Th * I'bere a man can use what weapons God gave him, any weapon he can lay his mind to, his eye to, his hand to! Or,” and at last the sneer came, “do you want a pair of padded gloves and somebody to fan you?” Carson shifted his glance to Bud Lee’s face. Lee merely nodded. “Then.” cried Carson sternly, “go to it! No man steps in, an’ you two can fight it out like coyotes or moun- tain-lions for all of me.” “Your word there will be no inter ference?” asked Trevors.. “For you’re just a fool and not a liar, Carson.” "My word.” was the answer. Bayne Trevors slipped out of his coat and vest, tossing them to the pile of chairs on the table. He loos ened his soft shirt-coilar and was ready. All of Bud Lee’s simple prep arations had been made when he threw his broad hat aside. Then came the little pause which is forerunner to the first blow, when two men measure each other, seeking each to read the other’s purpose. “It ought to be a pretty even break,” muttered Melvin, his interest obviously that of a sporting man who would travel a thousand miles to see a fight for a champion’s belt. "Trevors has the weight by forty -pounds; Lee has the reach by a hair; both quick footed ; both hard; Lee, maybe a lit tle harder. Don’t know. Even break. The sand will do it—sand or luck.” The two men drew slowly together. Their hands came up, their fists showed glistening knuckles, their Jaws were set, their feet moved cautiously. Then suddenly Bud Lee sprang in and struck. Struck tentatively with his left hand that grazed Trevors' cheek and did no harm; struck terribly with his right hand that drove through the other man’s guard and landed with the little sound of flesh on flesh on Trevors’ chest. Trevors’ grunt and his return blow came together; both men reeled back a half-pace from the Impact, both hung an instant upon an unsteady balance, both sprang for ward. And as they met the second time, they battled furiously, clinging together, striking mercilessly, giving and taking with only the sound of scuffing boot-heels and soft thuds and little cougbing grunts breaking the si lence. Bayne Trevors gave back a stubborn step, striking right and left as he did so; caught himself, hurled himself forward so that now It was Bud Lee who was ‘borne backward by the sheer weight of his opponent. Tliere was a gash on Lee’s temple from which a thin stream of blood trickled; Trevors’ mouth was bleed ing. “Under his guard, Trevors!” shouted Melvin, on, the table now, his face red, his eyes shining. “Under, un der !” • “Remember, Bud! Remember I” cried Carson. “That’s it,- that’s it!” Melvin clapped his two big hands and came perilously near falling from his point of vantage as Trevors’ fists drove Into Lee’s body and Lee went reeling back. “Give him h—I! A hundred dollars on Trevors!” “Take you!” called Carson without withdrawing his eyes from the two forms reeling up and down, back and forth across the room. “Done I” cried Melvin. “Trevors, a hundred dollars—” He broke off, forgetful of his own words. The two men met again, clung to each other in a ludicrous embrace, broke asunder, and Lee struck so that his fist, landing fair upon Trevors’ chin, hurled the bigger man back, stumbling, falling— But not fallen. For his back found the wall and saved him. As Lee came on, rushing at him like a man gone mad. Trevors slipped aside and struck back, for the critical moment gaining time to breathe. He spat, wiped his bloody mouth with the back of his hand and again eluded a rushing at tack by ducking and stepping to one side. And ever, when he sought to save his own body, he struck back, grunting audibly with the effort. They fought everywhere, up and down,'back and forth, until every foot of the floor felt their heavy boots, until each, of-them was fighting with all of the force that lay In him, fight ing with that swelling anger which grows in leaps and bounds when two men strive body to body, when the hot breath of one mingles with tlie hot breath of the other, when red rage looking out of one pair of eyes sees its reflection in the other. Again and again Melvin muttered: “An even break! By G—d, an even break!” And over and over did Carson’s heart rise in his breast as he saw Bud Lee drive Trevors, and over and over did his heart sink when he saw-Lee sway iiiY lreel 'under the sledge-hammer blows beating- a.t' face and body. In tlie beginning there had been In Bud Lee’s mind but the one thought: This man had laid'hls hands upon Ju dith; this man must be punished and punished by none other In God’s wide world than Bud Lee; Now all cool thought had fled, leaving just the' hot desire to beat at that which beat at iim, to strike down that which strove to strike him down, to master his enemy, to see the great, powerful body prone at his feet. Now he was fighting for that simplest, most potent reason in the world, just hecause he was fighting. And, though he knew that -he had found a man as quick and hard and strong as himself, still he told himself that he must fight a. winning fight—there was some good reason why be must fight a winning fight. His whole body was bruised and battered and sore. A glancing blow shot him through with pain. Trevors knew how to put his weight behind his blows, and bis weight was well ov'-r two hundred pounds. It was like being hammered with a two-hun dred-pound sledge. Give and take it was from the first blow, with none of the finesse of a boxers' match, with less thought of escaping punishment than of inflicting it. More than once had Bnd Lee felt that he was falling only to catch his balance and come back at Trevors; more than once had Trevors gone reel ing -backward, smashing into the wall. Many a time did Melvin count his money won and lost And Carson, crouching now, tense, eager, a little fearful, muttered constantly to him self. “They’ve both got the sand I” grunted Melvin. “Which one draws the luck?” But luck stood by and din not enter into the battle, that grew ever hotter as Bud Lee’s and Trevors’ gorge rose higher at every blow. It was to be simply the best man wins, and none of the six men who watched knew from the beginning until the end who the best- man was. What tricks Trev ors knew, hie used and they were met by what cunning lay in Bud Lee; what strength, what resistance, what power to endure was in each panting body was called upon to the last re serve. Already the spring had gone out of their steps. They came at each other for the most part more alowiy, more cautiously, but more determined not to give over. Faces glistening with sweat, grimy with the ,dust their pounding feet beat up from the floor, the roots of Lee's hair red where with a bloody hand he had pushed it back, Trevors' lips swollen and ugly, they fought on until the men who looked at them wondered just where lay the limits upon which each depended. , “Lee’s tough,” Carson whispered to himself. "Riding every day an’ work ing . . . Trevors has been setting in a chair . . . . Bud’ll wear him out . . . . My G—d! Bud, look out! Foot work. . . . ” Yes, foot work, but not as Carson expected it, not the thing Bud Lee looked for when he sensed rather than read In Trevors’ eyes that a fresh trick was coming. He was ready for a lifted boot, and, instead, Trevors, rushing down upon him, threw grap pling arms about him, heedless of the fist smashing again into his cut lips. Trevors doubled and twisted and got a grip about Lee's middle, seeking to throw him. Down they went together with no particular advantage to either man. But as they rolled apart and Lee threw out an arm to lift himself Trev ors saw the chance he sought and mightily, brutally, cursing as he jumped up for it, he drove the heel of his boot down upon Lee’s hand on the floor. From Lee’s white lips burst an in voluntary groan- as It seemed to him that every bone In his hand had oeen crushed, from Carson a choking cry of • rage, from Trevors a short laugh as he called out sharply: “Hands off, Carson! Our fight— any way—” Again on their feet, Trevors a sec ond first and with the advantage clearly his now rushed Lee, seeking to finish what he had begun. And Bud Lee, his face white and drawn, looking ghastly with the blood smears across it, moving swiftly but not swiftly enough, went down, Trevors’ weight against him. - ' “Five hundred on Trevors!” shouted Melvin. Carson did not hear him. “At him, Bud, go at him I” he was crying over and over. “That’s the last dirty trick he’s got. Get him, Buddie. Oh, for Gawd’s sake, Buddie, go get him!” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Antiqaity and Whiskers • Tradition says that Adam wore a fuU beard. That is quite' a natural supposition since that was before the time' of razor advertisements. Beau tifully executed bas reliefs have left no doubt that the eaity Persian kings cultivated whiskers. In fact, for fur ther adornment they plaited them 1 with golden thread. The Winged Bulls of Assyria are but types of those kings. The Chinese are a shaven people; the Egyptians were the same. But the Mohammedans are bearded, and Saladln’s son, Turkish historians tell us, wept for fear when he saw the shaven envoys of the Crusaders. The world Is, and always has been, divided Into shavers and bearded! The greatest benefactor of barbers In the world’s history was Alexander. He. who shaved himself to preserve his youth, shaved bis army to prevent the enemy seizing their ^beards. Dy use of PE-RU-N^ Read Tbts Mr. John Wick No matter how long you have been sick or how much you have suffered, you must not give Kp hope. Mr.. John Wick, of Mono- monee Falls, Wisconsin, did not and is a well man today. In Sep tember, 1918, he wrote: “I have been a user of Pe-ru-na for near ly twenty years. I had catarrh of the stomach for ten years. Noth ing did me any good. I grew worse until a friend 'advised me to try Pe-ru-na. While using the first bottle, I felt I had found the right medicine. I am entirely cured. My weight was down to 135 pounds and now I weigh 195 pounds. I have used very little medicine for the last ten years.” The condition known as catarrh al is not confined to the nose and throat. It may be found wherever there are mucous' membrances and is responsible for a multitude of troubles. Coughs and colds are catarrhal as well as stomach and bowel disorders. Do as John Wick did. Keep Pe- ru-na _ in the house. It stimulates digestion, aids in throwing off the poisonous secretions, enriches the blood, increases the resistance to disease and promotes good health generally.

To be comfortable the house, must be dry, i well ventilated, well lighted and have sufficient floor space to provide exercise by scratch ing. Dryness is insured by having a good roof, keeping the floor of the house higher than the surrounding •ground, and by providing good ventila tion. Ventilation must supply plenty of fresh air without drafts. This Is secured by having the south side rela tively open and the other three sides absolutely tight. The importance of light in the poultry house has not been properly emphasized in the past Re cent experiments with artificial lights show that by furnishing more light so that- the working period for the birds is lengthened the egg production can be materially increased. In many farm poultry houses no windows are provided and the house Is in constant twilight on cloudy days even w lie D the door is left open. Needless to say, this condition does not favor activity on the part of the hen. To insure good natural light in a poultry house the openings in the walls should equal about one-fourth of the door space of the house. At least half of these open ings should be for open-front ventila tion, and the windows should be so arranged that the maximum amount of sunlight will be available to the birds. Wherever possible windows should be placed ip the east and west ends of the building so that the early morning and late afternoon light will be se cured. To insure room for scratch ing not only must sufficient floor space be provided but the droppings must bo kept off the floor and a deep Utter of straw or similar material be sup plied so that the birds can be made to scratch for their feed. To keep the droppings off the floor . every poultry house should be provided with a droppings platform arranged under neath the roosts to catch the manure. Dried Buttermilk Found Profitable for Poultry At the Indiana experiment station several tests have also been made with dried buttermilk for laying hens. In one of its bniletins on this subject, A. C. Phillips, who conducted the testa In which dried buttermilk was com pared Wltli liquid buttermilk, says: "The income from the liquid butter milk-fed pen was $7.13; from the dried buttermilk-fed pen, $8.21; and from the n*-milk-fed pen, $2.39.” Stating the. same facts In different words, Mr, Phillips continues; “The profit over feed cost from the liquid buttermilk- fed pen was $4.92; from the dried but termilk-fed pen, $5.69'; and from the no-milk-fed pen, 78 cents.” Thus we see that the pen fed dried buttermilk as a protein carrier, madtj the largest profit per bird per year. The pen that received no milk of any kind netted less than $1 per hen per vear. In addition to getting mo.re Rgs from the dried buttermilk than "rom the liquid buttermilk, that in stitution also obtained greater hatcha- bility in the eggs from the dried but termilk pen than from the one fed liquid buttermilk. Emden Geese Popular The Emdon breed of geese is one of the best known and most popular of all the varieties known. Individuals of this breed are large, and beautiful ly formed. The back Is fairly straight while the under part of the body i? canoe shaped, or, almost crescent. They have blue eyes, orange bill shanks and toes and pure white plum age. Size and vigor are the principal feature* to be considered when mating these birds. It is quite common for the females to develop a “dewlap” or loose pouch of skin under the body. ■M 1 1 I !

London.—With his neck, head and shoulders incased In plaster of paris, John Harrington, a Southsea garden* er, has just been discharged from hos pital after three weeks* treatment for a broken neck. And, miraculous to relate, Harrington will recover quite soon, according to the doctors.. Harrington was injured when a piece of masonry fell on his neck, but he continued working four days before pain drove him to the hospital. The doctors found he was suffering from a complete fracture of a section of tbe spina! column and could not make out how he had lived. They proceeded to knit the spinal column together again; and did so so successfully that Harrington can now eat, drink and smoke without incon venience. He expects to start work again in a week or so. Chauffeur, Blackjacked, Dares Thugs, Saves Car New York.—Max Locker worked years to acquire the taxicab he drives. With a robber thrusting a pistol against his abdomen and another beat ing him with a blackjack, he looked them in the eye and announced he would not be robbed. He was not. About fhree o’clock, as he was re turning to Manhattan, two men stopped him at Forty-first street and Fifth avenue, gave a Brooklyn address and asked him to drive them there., He protested' he had to get back t< Manhattan, but both showed hie chauffers' badges, and one said: “We’re chauffeurs, too, and we’ve got to get home." He agreed to take them as a favor. In Thirty-ninth street, near Eighth avenue, one of the men stepped out on the running board, pointed a pistol at him and ordered him to stop and get out. Locker obeyed. “We want your money and tills car,"' the robber then said. "Go ahead and shoot, if you’re game enough,” Locker said. “I’m game, too." As the robber hesitated, his companion drew a blackjack and hit Locker on the head. "Why are you beating me?” the chauffeur asked, “Is that the way you return a favor?” Then he began calling for help. The robbers fled. Locker, after a physician had treat ed him, remarked: “I worked all my life to' buy this cab, and I wasn’t going to give it up without a fight. This fellow's gun didn’t mean anything to me. Having a gun didn't prove lie had nerve enough to pull the trigger.” Boscheefs Syrup Allays irritation, soothes and heals throat and lung inflammation.

Schuler is wondering whether she won a bet with her mother. Ethel appeared before Judge Chris topher E. Stein and admitted driving her father’s automobile at 32 miles an hour. “You know you are liable for a fine by pleading guilty?” Judge Stein ques tioned the fair defendant. “Yes, your honor,” she replied. "I came prepared for that contingency.” "How much money have you?” in quired the judge. “But IiOw much are you going to fine me?” responded Etbel sweetly. ' Judge. Stein, by questioning her, re vealed 'that Ethel had wagered with her mother that her fine would not ex ceed “a certain sum.” Just what this “certain sum” represented was not dis closed in court, but Ethel’s mother had agreed that Ethel could keep every thing left after the "certain sum” was paid. Judge Stein finally compromised with three months’ probation and Ethel wonders if she Is to keep the “certain sum” In Its entirety.

Kuta- IslSjgStfH bagas are espeeialiy good p T T ftW at this season. Cook them thinly sliced until lfCKnah tender and use plenty of butter and a little cream with the salt ar.d pepper to season. Squash is an other vegetable which is so tasty when well seasoned. Seasoning is the im portant thing in all foods and even more, important in making vegetables palatable. Vegetaltles OyFfefs are a most dalieious vegetable to serve in a cream sauce or in a chowder withwther vegetables, such as potatoes, onions and celery. Pork Tongue With Peas.—Wash a fresh pork tongue and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Skin and remove to a hot platter. Into the stock put a can of peas—if the fresh are not in market—and cook until well done, thicken with flour mixed with a little sweet cream and pour the gravy and peas around "the tongue. Serve with sweet spiced boiled beets. Canned corn takes the place of fresh very well and the home dried when soaked and cooked is especially deli cious. Pork Chops,—Place the chops in a heavy Iron frying pnn and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Let the chops parboil, turning often until the water is evaporated, then they will begin to brown. Cliops cooked In this manner are tender, well cooked and brown without becoming dry. Carrot Pudding.—Take one cupful each of grated carrot and potato un cooked, one egg, one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful each of shorten ing and raisins, one teaspoonfui of soda and one cupful of flour. Mix and steam In a mold one hour. Serve with a rich egg sauce. Egg Sauce.—Beat the white of an egg until stiff; add one cupful of sugar to the beaten yolk, a pinch of salt, va nilla and one-half cupful of boiling milk, then stir In the egg white and serve at once. ' Prunes, figs. as well as dates, may be stuffed with nuts, fondant or a cream cheese. Served as dessert they are wholesome, easy to preapre and espe cially good for children. Another fruit and vegetnble combina tion well liked is chopped cabbage and a few slices of finely minced pine apple, with a well-seasoned boiled dressing, " __ More About Salads. .Betweenseasons there is such a com fortable feeling that lettuce we have always with us; other greens may come and go, but this is at ways de pendable. Vegetable Salad.—Cut into small pieces five stalks of celery, one small bottle of sweet pickles, two green peppers, one medium-sized onion, one- tliird of a cupful of capers, two large lettuce hearts, one cupful of cooked green beans, four small cooked beets and one small can of anchovies; mix with one tablespoonful of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of olive oil and one small bottle of stuffed olives, sliced. Serve on lettuce. Shamrock Salad.—Cut green peppers crosswise, choosing those which will give the trefoil form, when sliced. Fill the halves after removing seeds and veins with a nicely seasoned cream cheese, pressing the filling in firmly. Chill, then cut into slices and;,serve with a strip of green pepper as stem. Orange Salad.—Remove the peeling from oranges and as much of the white skin as possible, then cut into very thin slices, arranging them in overlap ping slices on individual plates on let tuce. Serve with, a nicely seasoned French dressing. Prune Salad.—Arrange three or four stewed prunes, which have, been drained^, and the stones removed^-in nests of lettuce; sprinkle with chdpped nuts and serve with any desired dressing. The prunes may be stuffed with nuts, cheese or a bit of tender celery. This salad Is especially'nice with duck. Southern Onion and Apple Salad.— Take a mild large, onion, cut it into very thin slices, then into dice; mix with finely diced, good-flavored apple; add a good salad dressing and serve on lettuce In any such salad the vege tables should be cut fine, to be well- seasoned with the dressing. Large chunks of apple, or of any fruit or vegetable, are never well marinated, neither do they look appetizing. Plantation Soupr-Take a beef shank with about two pounds of beef and a ham bone. Place over the fire Wtth a gallon of water. Cook one hour and sjdd two large carrots, a pound of cab bage, one small red pepper, one small turnip, one onion, vegetables all cut into dice, two tablespoonfuls of bar ley, one-half tablespoonful each of sage, thyme and marjoram, with one- fourth teaspoonful of black pepper.

The costume suit is one of the things that promises a happy ending to the story of spring business. The ensemble, or costume suit, may be of tbe two-piece or three-piece va riety, but it usually consists of two pieces—a one-piece frock and a coat to match, as in the handsome model pictured here.

There may be others by the tune this ap pears. - Assum ing that all the names belong—as they certainly do Iu the Statesviile case —that they were actually placed on the help less youngsters iu infancy, when they were unable to protest or de fend themselves, the question a- rises, why do parents want to treat their off-spring that a-way?

In the caaefrom Hender son the m otorist had proceeded to cross a street, ignoring a “stop” •ligh but.it! was also in evidence that no other vehicles were in bight at the time. The decision would seem to mean, ^'therefore, that at street crossings hot under direct Control of traffii: officers ^ith signals, the mot orist is not compelled_to stop-if the way be clear, and he is the judge as to that. The truth is automobile regula tions are ail in the discretion of the m otorist except at congested traffic points controlled by a policeman That is, the motprist is governed by his own ideas, as to speed and all the rest; and surely is anything done a- nout it.

Senator Wheeler, himself, and his counsel, Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, withheld their votes. While voting for Mt. Stone’s confir mation, Senators Borah, republican, Idaho, and Reed, democrat, Missouri, voiced a protest against the proposi tion of the federal government exer cising the right to choose the place of trial of an accused, as has been done in the case of Senator Wheeler and other citizens of Montana in an action now being pressed in the dis trict of Columbia.

Pulsken, of Canton, Ohio, Ohio State university student, who died suddenly Sunday, strengthened the belief of university officials that sudden death ot Pusken and another student in the- past four days, and the violent illness of other students, was due to poison probsAly inten tionally placed in medicine for colds prescribed on the campus. As a result, university officials turned the official investigation of the situation over to Columbus police authorities. They promptly placed every facility of the institution at the disposal ot the police and pledged their heartiest co-operation. President W. O. Thompson, after is suing a statement insisting that there was no cause for alarm, did these things: Ordered a complete chemical analy sis of all remaining medicine ot the kind issued to the students affected. Ordered that all further issuance of such medicine remaining In the college of pharmacy dispensary where it was made up Should cease. The police questioned Dean K F. MoCampbell, of the college of medi cine, George D. Thompson, of Canton, the last.student taken violently ill, and arranged to question all students in the college. of pharmacy who have been on duty in the dispensary in the last two weeks. Discovery of definite traces of stry chnine in the stomach of Puskenmade it certain that the poison was involved in at least three of the five or six more serious cases which have devel oped. But chemical tests of nearly two-thirds ot. the capsules issued for treatment of colds failed to reveal any trace of the poison exceipt In one cap sule. This capsule, one of a number issued to Timothy J. McCarthy, of Fremont, Ohio, varsity football player, last week, was said to contain nothing but poison. It is believed to have been a similar capsule which caused McCarthy to become violently ill.' Missing Girl’s Body Located.

By JACKSON GREGORY _ CopyrfeM by Charles Scribner's Sons CHAPTER XVII—Continued —19— . Trevors was upon him agaM, but Lee slipped aside, even rolled over, managed to get to his feet. Again Trevors bore down upon him, a new leaping fire In his eyes. Again, though barely In time, Bud Lee slipped away from him. He drew Trevors’ harsh laugh after him and Trevors’ questing, eager fists. Lee put up his arm, his right arm, guarding his face, and drew away, back and back. Carson was almost whimpering, calling whining- Iy:• ‘‘Stand up to him, Bud I Oh, go get him, Buddie I” Still up and down the room they went, Trevors rushing at Lee, Lee taking what blows he must, striking, out but little seeking now only to pull Iiimself together, to get his head clear of daze and dizziness. "Hun away, will you?” panted Trev ors. "I’ve got jou,* d—n you. Got you right.” Lee didn’t answer. He was think ing dully that Bayne Trevors was near telling the truth, Giat Bud Lee was almost beaten—almost. That was was as far as a gentleman ever went —Just to that desperate "almost beaten.” Not quite. No! not quite. Never that.. Both men were nearly spent; Car son saw that while he cursed softly In his corner; Melvin saw it and watched for the end, wondering just how it would come. Trevors should swing for the point of the jaw, put all that was In him into a final, smashing blow, beat through an insufficient guard, do It now, quickly. For both Carson and Melvin saw another thing, a thing which both had sensed at the outset: Bud Lee was harder than Bayne Trevors. Lee, slipping away at every step was getting something back which had nearly gone ' from him; Trevors was breathing in noisy jerks; save for the vital fact that he now had two hands to Bud Lee’s one, Trevors was showing more signs of weariness-than Lee. “Bud’ll, get him—somehow,” whis pered Carson. “Good old Bud. Some how.” . - What Carson and Melvin sensed Trevors knew. He saw that Lee was having less trouble in eluding him now, that Lee’s feet were quicker, lighter than his, that Lee was begin ning to strike back viciously at him, and when the blow landed, Trevors’ big body rocked, shot through with pain. There came to him the thought which was Melvin’s, but it came In Trevors’ way: Now, quickly, before Lee was ready for it, must come the end. So, for the third time that day Bayne Trevors, with much at stake, resorted to "what weapons God gave •him, what weapons he could lay his mind to, his eyes to, his bhnds to” —his feet to. Resorting to the old trick which came up from South American ports in disreputable wind jammers which is known to the San Francisco waterfront, he raised a heavy foot striking for Lee’s stomach, seeking with one low, horrible blow to-double up his already handicapped antagonist in writhing pain on the floor. ■ “An’ I gave my word!” bellowed ' Carson, the sweat on his own tor tured brow. “Oh, my Gawd.” But just that one brief instant too late did Bayne Trevors lift his foot / For Bud Lee had expected this, never had forgotten it, had prayed within his soul that the man he fought would use it. Just by that fraction of time which has no name was he quicker than Trevors, and be knew it Now, as he read the sinister pur pose in Trevors’ glaring eyes, as he glimpsed the raised boot as it left the floor, he lowered his own head, averted it ever so little, stooped—and'his hand closed like locked Iron about the calf of Trevors’ leg. A stifled cry from the bulkier man, a little grunt of effort from Lee, Lee straining, heaving mightily, and Trevors went back, top pled, fought for his slipping balance, and fell. As he went down Lee was upon him, Lee’s arm about his neck, Lee’s weight flung upon him, Lee holding his body between a powerful pair of knees which rode him as they rode daily some struggling Blue Lake colt. ' , Now Bud’s left arm, defying the agony of a broken hand, was around him, Lee’s legs were about the fran tically fighting body, and at. fast Lee’s right hand went its sure way to the thick, bared,’ pulsing throat. Trevors’ right arm was caught-'at his side, held there by the body upon his. His left hand beat at Lee’s face, struck and. battered -again only to come back like a steam-driven piston to hammer again. But Bud Lee’s pain-racked body clung on, bis thumb and fingers sank and sank deeper into the corded muscles of the heaving throat, ,crooked like talons.' white and hard and re- lentless. ■ - - - . Trevors’ eyes were' terrible, filled with hatred, red-flecked with rage. He sought, with-a great sudden heave, to' roll- over. But he could not- shake off the legs which were like stubborn tentacles about him, could not free his throat of the tensing clutch. He t“i- at the wrist, smote again at L<v- head, set his own hand to Lee’s thro„. In an instant his hand was back at the hand worrying him, but he was un able to drag it away. His "face went white, flamed red, grew purplish. His eyes bulged up at Lee’s, his deep chest contracted spasmodically. Lee, summoning all of the force within him, drove thumb and fingers deeper.I “Got enough?”- he panted. For the last time Trevors strained with him and they rolled like death- locked mountain-lions. But still Lee’s left arm was about Trevors’ neck, his legs about the tossing body, his hand at Trevors’ throat. Trevors’ breath caught, failed him. . . . Then and then only did a new look come Into the bulging eyes. A look of more than fear, of utter, desperate terror. Trevors threw up his hand weakly, then let it fall so that it struck the floor heavily, a dead weight. Lee’s grip at the strangling throat relaxed. But he did not move his hhnd. “Got enough?” he panted again. The answer came brokenly, weakly, almost inarticulate. But it did come and the men drawn close heard it: “Yes.” “You’ll get out of the Country?” - “Yes.” Bud Lee drew back and rose, going to the door swiftly. He stooped for his hat and passed out. And as Bayue Trevors got unsteadily to Iiis-Teet and “Got Enough?” He Panted. sank slumping into the. chair offered him, two big tears formed in his eyes and rolled down .his cheeks. The first tears in many a year, the tears of a strong man broken for the first time In his life. “Sand did It!” grunted Melvin. “Just sand, Carson.” “I’ll stick aroun’ an’ see he moves on, Bud,” Carson followed Lee t<f say. “Oh. he’ll go. Brat I’ll just tell him how the boys is headed this way by now an’ it’s tar an’ feathers for him if he don’t mosey, right along. That’s something he couldn’t stand right now. An’, Bud—” He put out his hands and locked Lee’s in a grip that made the sore fingers wince. Then, swinging upon the heel of his boot, he went back to collect a hundred dollars from Melvin and help Bayne Trevors shape his plans. But Bud. Lee did not wait. He was on his horse, swaying a. little, an arm caught in a rude sling, glad to be out in the late sunlight. “Fog along, little horse,” he was saying dully. “Fog right along. She’s waiting, little horse. Judith is wait ing! Think of that. Tha t’B right— fog right ,along.” , CHAPTERXVlll Yes, Judith Was Waiting At the 0)4 cabin above the lake Bud Lee dismounted. His hand in its rude sling was paining him terribly, de manding some sort of first-aid treat ment. Tomorrow.be could take It to a doctor; perhaps in an hour or so be could get Tripp to look to it; just now he must d'o what he could for it himself with hot water and strips torn from fin Old shirt. Night had descended, serene with stars. He wondered if the boys were back yet from the lumber-camp.. He Iiad met them, as Carson had pre dicted he would, riding in a close- packed, silent, ominous body. He felt assured that-they would find no work for them to do at the company’s of fice, that Carson was right and Trev ors would “be on bis way.” But h^ stopped at the bunk-house, No. the boys hadn’t come in yet. But there was a message for Lee, just received by . the cook. It was from Greene, the forester, brief and to the point: Greene had lost no time In finding the sheriff of “the adjoining <, county at White Rock and in going with him to the' cave. They had found Quin- nion. He was dead, the manner of his death clearly indicated. For he iay at the foot of the cliffs straight below the cave’s mouth, his face ter ribly torn and scratched by a mad woman’s nails, the mad woman her self lying Muddled and still close be side him. He bad allowed the escape of her captive; she had accused him after the two of them had gone back to the cavern, bad thrown herself upon him, tearing at bis face, and the two had fallen. Mother and son? Lee shuddered, hoping within his heart that Judith had been mistaken. It was too terrible. But, such is youth, such is lbve. BUd Lee promptly forgot both Chris Quin- nion and AIad Ruth as he went through the lilacs to the house. He remembered Iiow AIarcia had flown once to Pollock Hampton when he had •made a hero of himself, how again just, today she had gone swiftly to him because he had made a fool of him self and because it seemed she loved him. In due time there was going to be a wedding at Blue Lake ranch. A wedding! Just one? Lee hurried on. . * - * * *- * • * Yes, Judith was waiting for hir She was there In the living-room, curled up on a great couch, lifting her eyes expectantly as his step, sound*d on the veranda. A wonderfully gowned, transcendently lovely Ju dith; a Judith of bare white arms, round and warm and rich in the.’f tender curves; a Judith softly, allur ingly feminine even in the eyes <-f Bud Lee, no longer th.eorlst; a Ju dith whose filmy gown clung Iinger- ingly to-her like a sun-shot mist, a Judith whose tender mouth was a red flower, whose eyes were Aphri - dite’s own, glorious, dawn-gray, soil with the light shining In them, the- unhidden light of love for the man who came toward her swiftly; the Ju dith he had first held in his arms and kissed. He came in quickly, his heart sink ing. The color suddenly ran up h«t and vivid in the girl’s cheeks.-Stand ing over her he put out his hand. But she slipped her own hands behind her. - , , “Good evening, Mr. Lee,” said Ju dith brightly. "Really, you have taken your time in making your first call. Won’t you sit down?” “No,” said Bud Lee gravely. ‘Tl! take mine standing, please!" “Like a man to be shot at dawn?” cried Judith. _ “Dear me, Mr. Lee, that sounds so tragic. What, pray, are you taking?” “A new job,” said Lee. “I’ve come to tell you that just being horse fore man doesn’t suit me any longer. What you need and need right away is a general manager. That’s what I want to be,, your general manager, Judith. For life!”- . Judith laugfied softly, happily. Her hands flew' out to him like two little homing birds, and she followed them. —home. , “You'll find your work cut out for you, Air. Lee,” she told him. “It’s the kind, of work I want,” answered Bud Lee. Then suddenly her arms went about his neck and tears sprang into her eyes and she set her lips to the cut he had sought to cover with his hair, and took his sore, swathed hand ten derly into her own two hands, laying it against her cheek. “Carson telephoned me,” she whis pered, her lips trembling all of a sud den. “He told me how Trevors fought . . . and how you fought! And he was half crying over the telephone, he was so proud of you. And I ■ am proud of you! And—oh, Bud Lee, Bud Lee, I love you so!” * * * * * , * • From without came the sound of the Blue Lake boysj returning, Carson at' their head. Riding close together they were singing, their voices floating through the night In an' old cowbO/ song. - Airs. Simpson heard and raj out into the courtyard to listen. AIar- cia' and Pollock Hampton, lost to ail save each;other in the shadows far down the veranda, listened, and' Mar cia clapped her hand's. The voices were to be heard from afar,,the strong Voices of a score of men. The strange thing Is that neither Judith hor Bud Lee heard; that neither had the vagu est consciousness just then that there were in all the world'any other mor tals than—Judith and Bud Lee. [THE END.] - - ' Beginning of Y. M. C. A. The Young Men’s Christian assoclf tion was founded in England by Sir George Williams, a LondOn merchant Williams’ organization grew out oil meetings he held for. prayer and Bibit, reading among his fellow workers In a dry-goods business in London, and the association was founded in; 1844.

Washington. — President Coolidge let it be.known that he approves the postal pay and rate increase bill draft ed by the house postoffice committee. Postmaster General -New laid the views, of his department with respect to the measure before the President at a cabinet meeting, and it was describ ed afterwards as fairly satisfactory to the President Provisions of the house bill increas ing rates so as to bring in'more than $60,000,000 annually in making the in creased pay for postal employees ret roactive only to Iast January I are con sidered by Mr. Coolidfe as distinct ad vantages over the legislation recently passed by the senate. The house bill* .on the other hand, was attacked as representing' “guess work” and as hav ing been drafted without due regard to its.effects on business, in a state ment isued by. Richard H. Lee, general counsel for the the Direct Mail associa tion of the associated Advertising clubs of the world. ■ . ATr. Lee said'it appeared that users of certain classes of mail would be required to pay a bonus, while other classes would be carried at a loss. ,The disruption to business in many lines, he said, would be great if the measure were passed as it stand, as many companies would be forced to realign their whole selling costs and sales methods. The statement analyzed the parcel post, second class, post cards, and other sections, and declared there was no-' emergency to justify action with out mature consideration. Protests against plans- to force the bill through the house under a rule shutting off amendments and limiting debate were sent to members of the chamber by E. B. Raid, acting -Wash ington representative of the American farm bureau federation. 'Attacking the pay increase section of the measure he argued, that this “is a period of declining salaries rather than increasing salaries, and while moder ate salary increases may -be needed in certain cities, there is no occasion for a general increase.” Rates on money orders, insured and C. 0. D. services—all used mainly by farmers—are increased, he added, far out of proportion to the increases in other important classes. Gives Out World Cotton Figures.'

APPETIZING fo o d s During winter oranges and other '-..-us fruits are most reasonable In price and most abundant. Theli delicious fla v o r stimulates and re freshes the appe tite and their color adds to any dish or table. JTor the first course an orange nip, filled with diced orange,, a bit of grapefruit, seeded and peeled grapes and rind-flavored sugar sirup, is es pecially well liked. Aitlioiigli the orange is delicately acid, it lias an alkaline reaction which Bate it especially valuable in coun teracting foods that produce acids. As a dessert, oranges make an ex cellent sweet course, containing sugar wlik'li is partially digested. After an PlaUoiate and heavy dinner n light, easily digested dessert' is a necessity. O ranas Mint Cup.—Ttfke one cup ful each of diced grapefruit pulp, orange pnip and pineapple. Mix and sprinkle w ith a little sugar'and lemon juice_or better a lemon simp, made br cooking sugar, lemon juice and rind witli a little water. Chill and fill halves o f oranges, set into sherbet cups, or sim ply fill (he glasses with the fruit mixture. A t the last moment sprinkle w ith finely minced mint and garnish w ith a sprig of fresh mint in die center of the glass. Orango Meringues. —: Separate into sections fo u r oranges, without break- In; the membrane. Make a'sirup of cne-iialf cupful each of lemon juice, water am i any canned fruit juice, boil ing five minutes. Add the oranges, cover and cool. Tnis is compote and may be ser,-ed just as it is. Place these sirup-covered orange sections on rounds of sponge cake, moisten with a little of th e sirup. Prepare a meringue, using tw o egg whites, two tablespoon- M s of powdered sugar and a table spoonful of the compote sirup. Cover the oranges and set in a moderate oven to brown. Serve cold with some c.f the compote os a garnish. , grange Iee Cream.—Cook two cup fuls of water with one cupful of sugar, cool and add one cupful of orange juice, a pint of thln cream, a pincb of salt. Freeze as usual. Winter Fruits. The orange is especially prized dur ing the winter months, when it is at its : best and most plentiful and good fla vored. The w in te r diet, being rich and heavy, needs such fruit to keep the body in good condition. AU citrus fruits 'contain fruit salts and acids which are most’ beneficial to health. A pint of orange juice contains al most the same number of food units as three-quarters of a pint of milk. Orange juice is quickly assimilated and because of it's action on the bowels, is one of the finest digestive regulators. Its beautiful color makes the orange particularly enjoyed In winter, when color in foods is most appreciated. As a garnish the orange has wide possibilities. Baskets, cups, flowers, confections, may be prepared, the rind preserved and served as a confection, or as receptacles for salads or jellies. A sherbet is easily prepared using citrus fruit, orange or lemon juice, sugar sirup and water, or if a richer sherbet is desired, thin cream or rich milk in place of the water. Serve In orange cnps with roast meats or' fowl. Candies of various kinds flayiiried with these fruit juices are both7wholesome and delicious. ,Plain fondant, flavored wltli lemon or Qrange juice and made into patties like the wintergreen or peppermints are well liked. Turkish delight prepared with gela tin, sugar sirup and fruit juices, cooled In it flat dish and cut into oblongs^ then rolled In powdered sugar is an other very popular confeciiom Glaced fru its are particularly well liked during the cold weather. Orange sections, kumquats, tangerines and lemon quarters are very attractive. These should, be eaten the 'same day made, as they soften in the air quickly. To prepare the sirup for glaced fruits take two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of boiling water, one-third of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar.. Boil Jjntil the sirup begins to color light blown, or to 310 degrees P., then dip eaOii piece quickly, keeping the sirup «'er hot water.

SPRING MILLINERY APPEARS: SMART SHOES OF PLIANT KID TN THOSE sunny lands down on the x Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlan tic to beyond the W estiIndies, spring has already advanced more than half •way toward summer. And there to welcome it and frolic with it, are troops of ’tourist’s from everywhere. They include many fashionables from the frigid North, gay butterflies decked out In lovely spring' finery, and the vital question before the house Is— what are they wearing? They gather, to see and be seen, at the fashionable rendezvous In Palm Beach, Miami, Havana ami many other places. If we were to run in upon them today at afternoon tea, say in the coconut grove at Palm Beach, It is certain the first thing to arrest our eyes would be the millinery that blos soms in that delectable place. A great name is signed to the three hats at the top of the group. At the Women have gown so exacting in the matter of their footwear that the' art of making shoes, has be come a very fine art indeed.

On account of Its pliancy, kid has been chosen for the smart and graceful spring styles In shoes which so adroit ly flatter the* feet. Shoes, like hats, must “do sofnething” for their wear ers—more is required of them than merely to cover the feet. Since wom en insist on smartness and style, and take comfort for ’ granted, manufac turers have turned to kid skin in or der that the three factors of success may be combined. A survey of the best shops reveals golden brown, beige, gray .and, ,of course’, black, to be the most popular colors.

Ni. Bi, CHARLOTTE, NO. 7-1926» Reduction Is Attributed to • Decreased Plantings in All Growing Sections. (Prepared -by the United States Department of Agriculture.) — Production of all types of tobacco grown in the United States was smaller last year than in 1923, reports the United States Department of Agricul ture. The total crop was 1,243,000,000 pounds as compared with 1,515,000,000 pounds In 1923. The cigar types show a cut of 24,000,000 pounds, and the types used for chewing, smoking, snuff, and export show a reduction of 248,- 000,000 pounds. Decrease' in Planting. The reduced production is attributed to decreased plantings In practically all the important tobacco growing sec tions, and by decreased yields in many areas. The biggest decrease was In the Bright or flue-cured tobacco portions of Virginia and the Carolinas, where production of what are known as the Old Belt and New Belt type was 441,- 000,000 pounds or 152,000,000 pounds less than last year. Of tliese two flue-cured types, the New Belt type showed the heaviest de cline, production being placed at about 220.000.000 pounds as compared with 320.000.000 pounds last year. The de partment points out, however, that sales data in South Carolina are as yet incomplete and the production figures in that state may be raised several million pounds. Surley Production. Production of Burley, which is the most important single type of tobacco, was 311,000,000 pounds or 15,778,000 pounds less than last year. Production of One-Sucker, air-cured type was un der 31,000,000 . pounds as compared with 51,000,000 last year. Decreased acreage of Clarksville and Hopkins ville types was partially offset by a somewhat better yield,.production being placed at 106,000,000 pounds as. com pared with 90,000,000 pounds in 1923. Production of Henderson type shows a cut of 25 per cent, and of the Padu cah type a reduction of 31 per cent. Total production of type's used for cigars was 169,641,000 pounds as com pared with 194,124,000 .pounds in 1923. Production In the Connecticut valley was 4,332,000 pounds less than last year. Pennsylvania shows an increase of approximately 1,000,000 pounds, and Wisconsin ■ a decrease of 11,432,000 pounds. Management of Wood Lot Is Better in the East Eastern farmers are ahead lOf their western brethren in the management of the farm wood lot. There the wood lot is preserved from fire and. insects, and furnishes the owner with his fuel, fence posts, rails and even building timber for repairs. Many. could im prove and the average western farm er should do much better than is cus tomary by making a study of the science of forestry as it applies to his own small tract. National Bulletin No. 42, issued by the forest service of the Department of Agriculture, gives much valuable information In the care of trees and how such a useful adjunct to the farm may be made to yield proper returns: The supply of timber In the United States.Is decreasing rap idly and an investment in growing trees is about as safe as government’ bonds and much more fun. The pres ent annual consumption of lumber in this country is 50,000,000,000 feet. It will not last forty years at this- rate. Better set out some trees. Barium Carbonate Kills Hannful Rats and Mice According to Kansas. State college authorities, rats and mice in the United States destroy $200,000,000 worth of food and property every year. Rats are a menace to grain, poultry, household property, human safety, and human life. They ruin all kinds of food, clothing, and other property. Fires are started by matches gnawed by rats. They carry disease. Barium carbonate is a cheap and effective control. It has no taste or odor, and it acts slowly on the-rats. Rodents poisoned by It wander outside of buildings to die. One bushel of corn will buy enough barium carbo nate to rid a farm of rats, and no time and money Is better spent than that used in killing off these destruc tive' and filthy pests. Age for Caponizing Fowls hatched any time of the year make fine capons, but the best age. for the cockerels to be operated upon is when they are from - two to three months old (not over six months) and weigh not less than a pound- to a pound and a half. The size is equally as important as the age.' June, July, August-and September are the months generally taken for caponizing, for the reason that spring chickens arrive at proper age and weight during these months. Male Is Halfthe Flock Each male bird that . is retained as a breeder In your poultry flock will contribute half the characteristics pos sessed by, tlie chick? hatched this spring.

Many hogs suffer from what is com monly called “getting down'behind.” Some scientists have for years been saying that this paralysis of the hind quarters in hogs Is due to lack- of mineral constituents In the feed. Oth ers have held to the theory that it was due to lack of vitamines In the ration, resulting in a weakening of the nerves. On the other hand, manv farmers be lieve that this trouble is due to kidney worms. Recently, however, the Ohio experiment station has come to a defi nite conclusion as a result cif a num ber of Experiments. Tlifcs station claims that the imSiedlute cause of posterior paralysis in hogs Ia lack of mineral matter In the ration. Whenever a hog does not obtain enough lime and phosphates in its ration to build strong bones or main tain the bony structure already formed, the lumbar vertebrae become so weakened that they cannot'sustain the tension 6f the powerful back nuis.cles. Thus some lumbar verte brae are crushed or shortened under the strain and bulging downward they cause Impingement upon the spinal cord and ’ paralysis of the hind quar ters. If taken in time, this condition can be remedied by feeding more min eral matter and by adding a little olive oil to the'ration, olive oil being rich in vitamine A. But this remedy will give results onjy If used imme diately after the paralytic condition lias been observed. Those who would avoid paralysis In the hind quarters of hogs should see to it that a good mineral mixture is supplied whenever the ration fed Is deficient in mineral constituents. Hogs that are fed farm-raised grains plus all the tankage they care to eat do not stand in as much need of a min eral mixture as those that are not fed tankage, yet in some cases the addi tion of mineral to a ration containing tankage has given still better results than when no additional minerals were supplied. >'• ,Manure Wasted if Left Exposed in Barnyard Manure spread on the land directly from the stable has given larger crop yields than equal amounts of manure exposed In the open yard for some time before spreading, in the many tests at the Ohio agricultural experi ment station. The average increase-of crops In far vor of stall manure over yard-exposed ‘manure, both applied at the rate of eight tons, was $3.4,0 per acre, In this experiment extending over a period of 28 years the stall manure is spread on a one-year-old sod in Jan uary to be plowed under for eom in early spring. An equal- weight of ma nure is taken from the stalls at the same time and exposed in flat piles until April when it is spread on ad joining plots, after which the treat ment of all plots is the same. Tests at the station sliow that ma nure thus exposed in piles lost 35.6 per cent of the original nitrogen, 22.5 per- cent of its phosphorus, and 51 per cent of its potassium. This is about one-third of its fertilizing value and readily accounts for the difference In crop yields In favor of direct ,applica tion. Owing to the addition of moisture to manure exposed to the weather this loss may be unnoticed. , Birds Need Ventilation Even In cold weather do not make the mistake of closing the poultry house so tightly that it does not have good ventilation. Chickens can stand cold better than they can stand stuffy dampness and foul air. One of the surest ways to bring on an attack of colds and probably pneumonia is to sh'iit the houses so tight that they do not have good ventilation. Drafts however, should be avoided: m im pi.nii-.ini.K n-M iinTim m Tm inm l- Use good clean seed for sowing the lawn. * * * Sharp farmers never tolerate dull tbols. Silage is a summer feed, the year round. . . « . * A dairy barn doesn't need to be costly to be clean. ' » * *' Snow keeps bees warm, but don’t, let Ice'form over the hives. With a closed storage house the re pairing of farm machinery is more ,tempting. ’•*#*'* , The prudent employer doesn’t broad cast all the time;.-he frequently puts, the receiver to his ear. 1 “There- IS nothing In' which God aslis so little of us and gives so. much' as In tli.e. planting of-a tree.”^SeIected. Prediction' for 1925. It will be just as profitable; to keep down farm ex pense” as to increase, the gross income.- Soy beans are unexcelled for plant ing in combination with com for hog, or lamb pasture; They make a heavy yield of. seed and their erect growth prevents trampling .by. grazing ani- mals, so that the crop is eaten almost completely. PRODUCE MORE EGGS IN WINTER SEASON “The Badger state’s winter egg pro duction can be increased' very notice ably: per l.ea by carrying out cer tain easily followed plans,” says 0. SI. Johnson, Superintendent of the Wis consin College of Agriculture poultry flocks. “We hav.-2 discovered," avers John son, “tlmf pnllets must be separated from tlie old hens to get the best pos sible" egg production. If this policy is not carried out, the older hens will keep the pullets from their feed and boss them around so that they do not have a' chance to get full develop1 ment.” By letting the pullets run with the older fowls, there is also a great dan* ger of, spreading diseases. This, too, is fatal to egg production. An under developed Diillet or one that Is back ward in hitf development should be sold, continues the poultryman. Tliese pullets, as well as cockerels that are not' to be kept for spring’s breeding, do not as n rule pay their board. “Skim mtlk Is one of the greatest aids in egg production, and it shouia be used to the limit.”' says Johnson, “and each pullet should never be with out plenty of milk, either sour or sweet.” ,WhPliing tlie dish thoroughly each time before feeding is a precau tion so as to . gun rd from diseases. When hens have all the milk they can drink, very little water is needed. In fact it is b‘"St, advises the poultryman, that pullets; do not have water if they have all the 'sfclai Wilk they can drink. The milk wiil furnish them with wa fer and at tlie same time the proteins and minerals the pullets need. Wiiole cabbages hung up In the scratching pvtis will furnish fine green feed, but other greenstuffs also serve •their pnrpos!-. Many poultrymen n:aku the mistake of throwing large amounts of green stiffs on the floor where it gets moldy and dirty. For tlie nmsh. which the pullets should have access .to at all times, equal parts of bran middlings, yellow cornnieal, oats and beef scraps or tankage ha* ^iven the best results. If the chickens i/uve all the milk they can drink, the meat scraps and tankage can be cut to one-half part. “A dry, Well ventilated hen house free from Mttes and lice is important. Tlie litter in the scratch pens should not be too deep at' first as the pullets do not know how to scratch deep, or else will not Yellow cvadk.ed com Is as good 11 sera fell feed ns one needs, but one-thinl of any other wholesome grain caii also be added.” Ration .Recommended for Making of Winter Eggs The foUowiiijf ration for winter «gg production recommended by the- Mis souri CoVIegs of Agriculture, satisfies the needs, of tbe hens and is econom ical and practical. During the past year it l as bfen fed on a number of farms v. Stb good results: Scratch, grain—ten. pounds of shelled corn and five pourds of dry threshed oats. Dry mash—tbi>i!<! pounds of wheat bran, three pounds of wheat shorts and one and one-Dalf pounds commercial meat scrap. AVhere Jidlk Is plentiful 1 three gal lons of si;im milk or buttermilk fur nished eicl'i 100 liens dally-will take the plact: of meat scrap.. Either niilS or some form of lean--meat must be supplied In every ration for'.iuccess: ful winter egg production. Commer cial meat scrap can be obtained from most feed dealers in 100-pound sacks. One sack «-111 supply- protein needed by 100 hens for more than two ifinnths. Barley o- !«ed Wheat may be used in stead of oats. OornMMit or ground oats may be substituted for shorts In the mash. Alfalfa ' meal or clover leaves may take the place of the Iiran. A good grade of tankage may he used instead of tlie meat scrap. In feeding this ration all grain should be fed in deep straw to .compel Lhe birds to ex ercise. The masli should lie fed In self-feeding' hoppers or troughs rind a supply kept before the birds. In' ad dition IMs ration, hens should .have an, abundance of water, a supply of green food and free access to sharp grit and crushed ovster. shells or soft limestone grit. With early hatched pnllets. >i<.iised comfortably, and fed this ration, winter eggs are assured. Plan of Line Breeding; Line breeding can be done by using the same iincestry or Wood lines with careful se ection that avoids the bad effects of inbreeding. The shade of difference between line breeding and inbreeding is sometimes very faint. Breeding (he pullets of a mating back to the sin-.-, and one of the cockerels back to tiu hen. is a strict line breed ing, which Is-often practiced to estab lish certain qualities' In a strain.

THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAlft; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN X X V I. The Real Suwanee River. jfeK. York; Telegram-M ail. ■ Some bright young inisn of United States geological 'survey have gone into southern , Georgia and northern Florida to make cer tain invertigations. T hey have found that a steam known localy as the Sm vanee (or Sevvanee) river is only an ordinary creek affording some sort of lazy outlet to the waters of the Okefiuokee -Swanij;, and is as unimportant and unlove- Iv as stvam p creeks usually are. That was all right and part of their business. But when these voiuie men—or somebody of them —went so far as to report that the immortal river of Stephen C. Fost er's song is a little better than a mere ditch, they committed a colos sal error. It is a blunder to which very practical men and very liberal minds are particularly susceptible. Theyhaveconfused the realm of geography with that of imagination and have fallen into the fallacy ot trying to measure with gauges and surveyors' chains som ething which is beyond logarithms and laughs at all the laws of tngonm etry. Tlie real Sewanee river does not rise in any part of Georgia. It rises in the highest m ountains of tiie human soul and is fed by the deepest springs in the hum an heart. Itdoes not flow through the swampy regions of Florida, but through the pleasant, sunny .lauds of mem ory. It does not empty into a ma terial sea. but into the glorious ocean of unfufilled dreams. It leaves the shores of childhood. Its Current ripples w ith the low, sweet tnelody of recollections, soft ened and made m isty by distance. There is such mystical power in its waters that whoever finds himself wearied and wont by the struggle of living has only to quaff and gain nepenthe. It is far, far away, but the heart is ever turning to it, because there’s where the old folks stay. On its banks may be only a hut among the bushes but the . bees still are humming around it by day and the. banjo is still iuium ing there in the starlight. And so they will con tinue to do while memories of home and simples hopes *and, effections are the most prized possessions of utankiud. It was in a quaint jargon, such as probably was never actually sp ok en by anybody, th a t. Foster first sang about it.

Consolidation. H as the breaking up o f the Iit- thejjJe oue room school house by the side of the road been a blessing to the childhood of the statei1 Is - the present'plan of hauling little child ren from five to ten -miles to towu in a big m otor truck , rather than trudging to school ou a real bene fit to the children? Perhaps so We are not in a position to say yea or nay', but we may lyepardoned for m aking for a few observations on the subject which may be wise or otherwise. The principal reason urged for consolidation is that the children have better physical equip m ent and more capable teachers' in the sm all school w ith one or two teachers 111 the open country. As to the m atter of physical equip ment the argum ent is closed. Our consolidated schools are superbly equipped. The money spent on these modern and magnificent buildings-niouuts into the millions. They' have been constructed with an eye single to the comfort of the pupils, aud in.mauy cases they- are supplied with' all the latest and most appioved tools for teaching. The children are conveyed from their homes to ‘the school in wet or dry weather, in cold or hot, with out. exposure, which cannot be said of the little school by the side of the road which was generally bare of school furniture and some times -with broken. window paues and poor fires. This is a great ini- improvem ent oyer the old way. But how about the efficiency of the teachers? Iu the first place the consolidated schools are crowded The personally touch is largely lost. The face to face- work of the old school is supplanted by-mass teach ing. Instead of classes of 15 or 20 the teachers handle forty, fifty sometimes a hundred in a single class. C an'they do the work of the teacher with tw euty, especially if she-be an earuest, thoughtful, en thusiastic women? Furtherm ore, it is our observation that as the sa laries rise the persotinal of the teaching force fails. W es-have no doubt that the teachers of a decade ago at $45 a m onth did better work than those of the present day at $125.00 a m onth. The teachers of that day though about -the child ren; too mauy of those of this day think about the salary. Of course this is not universally true. Some of the teachers of the . present day are as earnest and sym pathetic and efficient as those o f . yesterday; but the fine salaries have attracted thousands who would never have thought of teaching but for the teaching but for the law yer.— Charity and Children. .

Los Angeies Times, Socialist Industrialism. T hestock argum ent of the so cialist is that under private ow ner1 ship the worker receives a smaller proportion of the product of in-' dustry-than would be allotted to him under state operation and a favorite method of providing this is that of comparing the wages paid labor in the production of a given article, as compared w ith its sale value, leaving out of account many, items that enter into the total cost of output. Tbe soviet authorities according to the Prague Gazette,: have reported the results of an in'-: vestigatiou of the daily output of workmen in the fourteen most im portant branches of national in dustry. In October, 1924, this daily output per workman was valued at $2.70 per day in Ameri can currency, but the daily wage of the workman averages tliirty-six- cents per day! Theoretically the workmen labor eight hours per day, but owing to what the soviet auth orities confess is m anagerial incom petence, the actual working hours average substantially less. Black sm iths stand in long lines several hours waiting to get coal-for tbeir fires and employes loaf for an hour or more after leaving one task to be assigned to another.

They are .the type and ink university, that teach history in the making. ,The exploits of exceptional peo ple, the press of unusual events, the ebb and flow of political ex pedience, the outstanding happen ings of the community they serve all are made public knowledge through the local newspaper. That is why men and women who ijre eager to be fully informed read the newspapers—not only the news of w hat’s happening at home aud abroad, but also the news of what to buy, where to buy and hojy to buy. You cannot be abreast of the times if you overlook the adver tisements. For advertisements give you the real news of business. They are the messages of business to you. They tell of the new and wonder ful things created for your con venience and pleasure—of m erchan dise gathered from the m arkets of the world for you and your family. Advertising teaches how to gel the most in value and enjoym ent for the least money. It gives you knowledge that pays Read advertising and learn.—E x Tbe Worst Road Menace. Speeding narrow roads and in toxicated drivers were 'th e three principal causes of automobile accidents last year in Indiana,, anu w hat was true of this state is large ly true of every other state iu the nation. (A lthough narrow roads.andspeed maniacs are a menace to motorists^ they do not compare with the dang er that a druuken man behind an automobile wheel represents.

Recently a professor, formerly of Chicago, but now a teacher in the North Carolina College for Women came to CbarIoUe to give an txten- sion course on s c-ioloy; before a class of public school teachers. He is reported to have said that Genpsis is only a bit of Israelitis my thology, handed down by word of mouth from one generation to an-' other. He said that this was proven, by the fact that all other primitive people had similar myths and leg ends. He ridiculed the account of God’s writing thq Ten Commandments on two tables of stone as unbelievable. Tne miracles were simply repre sentatives of great truths. The feed ing of the five thousand was only an illustration of the fact that Jesus taught en,iugh truth to satisfy that many people." When questioned as to the 12 basketsful) remaining, he thought that meant that there were more wonderful truths given than the people could understand. It seems though that lie djd not try to answer the question why Jesus took these truths from the little boy’s basket As a fitting climax to this performance he said -that he did. not know that there was any one that believed in the whole Bible. When one reads these remarkable views, he wonders how the people of this God-fearing state will receive them, whether they are willing to sit at the feet of this disciple of Modernism in its rankest form, who judges our faith by that of Chicago. We also wonder if thesmpeople whose whose fathers planted in early dajs the schools and churches of our state, are will to allow the money'of the state to be ueed to employ such men todnstill their subtle poison in to the minds of our young women, and thus touch the coming mothers qf the fut lire.

There are 17 great-grand-children, 15 of whom are living, , Of this num her-of decendants of Mr. and Mrs. Dellinger there was at the Noven-ber election 41 legal voters 40 of whom voted for Coolidge, Dawes and Meekius. In 1920 there were 80 legal voters in the family, 29 of Whnm supported the late Presi dent Harding. Is it any wonder that Catawba county went Republican in 1924 with such a big family of voters of, that faith'as the Dellinger family? - Mr. Dellinger, the grandfather of the family is very proud of his Re publican record and is .anxious to know if there is any one family in the state that can equal or beat this record.

The legislature has run about two-thirds of its course and hund reds of new bills have been in troduced but few of them mean anything to the masses of voters. It is hard to eouvince Cainefon Morrison that North Carolina has, a deficit of over nine mill on aol- 1 is. Everybody else in "Raleigh could see the deficit—even Josephus Daniels.

Talk about economy, but Presi dent Coolidge practices wbgt-he preaches. He doesn't want his iuauguration to cost more than 55500. Fine. Now if we could get some of our North Corolina officers to practice a little economy there wouid be some hope for the nation. The Greensboro News says. Se nator Grant, of Davie, made one of - the finest speeches on the Senate door last week that has been de livered during this term of the leg islature. No one disputes the fact that Grant is a fine orator, and when occasion demands he can make the enemy set up aud take notice. North Caralina is going to get a- nother twenty millions to spend on road building within the next two years. We have been wondering how much of this amount Davie county will get. . Out of the sixty five million already spent for roads in North Carolina our counlv has secured a .little less than 14 miles of hard-surface road while some of our neighboring counties have three or four times this amount. ‘Tis a pity that Davie hasn’t'a highway com missioner. The Iredell county officers who set up a howl for an increase in their salaries and asked their Re presentative to introduce a bill in the legislature to that effect, have heaid from the voters throughout the county and they have asked that the bill be withdrawn. When the people rise up and say thus far and no farther, even the Democra tic brethren have to take their me. dicine. The Iredell cpunty officers are' pulling down nice salaries now, and most of the voters thought if they couldn't get along on present salaries there were plenty of others in the county anxious to‘‘ take the iobs at the old price. ' If any sectiou in North' Carolina needs a piece of road and needs it bad, it is. Davie county. ' The link referred to is between Mocksville and Statesville on Route 75. The distance is only 26 miles, and we understand that Iredell county is going t(\ concrete three miles pf this road extending from Statesville to the forks of tbd Cool Spring and Mocksville roads, which will -leave 23 miles to be built. W ith thisJinfc finished the hard-surface would ex tend from Charlotte via Statesville, Mocksville, ,Winston-Salem and- Greensboro to Sniithfield, a distance of nearly, 250 miles. Routes 65 and 75 is the direct route from Wins ton-Salem and all points in Virginia to Asheville andjhe West, connect ing at Statesville * with Route 10, which reaches through Western Carolina to the Georgia line near Murphy. Thisshortlinkofroad should be built and we feel that if all the towns along this route would make a concerted action this road could be secured. Let’s all get busy and do our best.

I,SL 1985- W W te n r N e w s D a w r TJnIon-V In c u b a tio n o f E g g s of V ario u s F o w ls on F a rm The eggs from all but Muscovy ducks will hatch In twenty-six to twen ty-eight days. Jluscovy duck eggs re quire from thirty-three to thirty-six days. Guinea eggs take from twenty- six to twenty-eight days to hatch. Tur key eggs hatch on the twenty-eighth day, but it varies on an egg hatch on the'twenty-seventh, day and the hatch ing continues until the twenty-ninth or thirtieth-day. Ducl^ eggs in an incubator require a temperature of 102 degrjes. This is also satisfactory for turkey eggs. The guineo eggs will hatch lit 102 to 103 degrees. ‘ Incubators are very satisfac tory for duck eggs. Tuikey eggs are seldom hatched in incubators. Neither are guineas. A mixture of equal parts of bread i:rumbs and rolled oats, and a sprin- Mng of about 3 per irent sand is a good ,darting feed for ducklings. Bread and milk is also satisfactory-. Stale broad soaked In milk and squeezed nearly dry is a good tirst feed'for poults. . When three weeks old they, can be worked over to rolled oats and fine chicks’ scratch' feed, and larger grains added as the birds develop. There are many good rations for tur- . koy poults but do not use sloppy raiishes. Guineas iike '-,read crumbs and roiled oats and can soon eat fine chick feed. They ore great foragers and insect eaters ard wi I soon gather most of their ration Clean Child's Bowels ,with -‘California Fig Syrup” . Early hatched chicks are the ones that make the early- and consistent winter layers. However, this does not mean that earlier than around Marcli 15 is desiiable. -Neither does it mean that late Apidl tind May matched ciiicks are the desirable kinds. The problem is to have the chicks hatched sufficiently early to have winter lay ing pullets gnd yet not have them so early that they will mol,t In. the late fall. Again, the quicker-maturing, smaller breeds like the Anconas mny be safely hatched later than the larger breeds like the Wyandottes. Yet, all- in aW, it appears to me that iff far too many cases, the hatching of chicks on fartns is too late and that few are they who have their chicks coming off too early, writes A. C. Hartenhowe in the Oklulioma Farmer. Whether to incubate the eggs on the farm or to buy baby chicks must be governed, to no small extent by the equipment on the farm, by the prices of eggs when compared with that of baby chicks' and by the breeding stock available. In many cases, it will be a paying proposition to purchase baby chicks from reliable breeders to the end, especially, that' good stock may be had to replace the mixed stock now- on the farm, while In still other cases, where the farmer makes consistent im provement in his flock of pure bred chickens by culling, using liigh-class males or keeping a breeding pen, it would be folly to send away for baby chicks. I know there are thousands of dollars practically thrown away each year in purchasing baby chicks for the simple reason that' the equip ment at hand for caring for the chicks is not suitable, and the result is a good per cent! of the young chicks never reach maturity. In other words, the cost of those raised is away out of reason when compared with what thcy'will bring when sold either as breeding stock or on the market. Hurry Mother!

Mildred Phillips, daughter of Mayor L. H .‘Phillips, was seriously injured in an automo bile wreck in this city. The young women were riding on the running board of a’Ford roadster, driven by Paul Yount, when the car was sideswiped by a Hudson driven by Robert Michael. Michael and Wil- fong Trott, who was also in the Hudson were arrested and placed in jail. Solicitor Huffman, after ex amining several witnesses in his of fice in the courthouse, declined bail to the parties arrested. Witnesses said the car driven by Michael was .running at a terrific rate of speed. Both cars were demolished. POSTAL BILL PISSES HOUSE NEW, MEASURE APPROVED WITH- OUT OPPOSITION; REVENUES LARGER. , Washington,—Without a record vote, the house passed the Kelly postal pay and rate increase bill and sent it to the senate, which already has passed a somewhat similar measure‘only to have it turned back by the house as infringing on its exclusive prerogative to originate revenue producing legis lation. Brought up under a special rule which limited debate to less than two hours, barred amendments from the floor and required two-thirds majority for passage', the measure was approved in about two hours. It would raise $61,000,000 in revenue—abopt twice as much as the senate hill—and fall short only $7,000,000. of the sum estimated to be required to meet postal employes salary raises.. Only a few scattered “notes” oppos ed its passage although 97 members had voted against the method of bring- ing it up while -245 favored it. . As in the bill passed by the senate, the rate section is intended to remain in force only long enough for Congress to act on recommendations to be made by a joint congressional committee which is authorized to study the whole pos tal rate structure with a view to per manent revision. Representative Moore, republican, Ohio, who reported the bill, emphasiz ed that the right of rull' distribution for newspapers and^publications in the countries in which they are printed and published is not disturbed by this bill. Elisha Hanson, Washington repres entative of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association, In a statement reiterated the contention that there was “no sound reason for the present paying users of the mails to be called upon to pay the increased postage- pro vided by the bill which passed .the house, unless it be the intention of the administration to make the postoffice department pay a profit on its services to the public.” Reports of the department on the business had during the seven months of the current fiscal year, which have elapsed since. July I, last, he argued, “indicate that there would be for this year a net income revenues of more than $35,000,000 over the previous year’s business. As the department had a deficit of Ieps than $15,000,000 last year, these) reports indicate a profit on/this year’s operations of more than $20,000,000.” Pullman Surtax to Be Opposed. Washington.—Repudiation by Con gress of recommendation by the inter state commerce commission for reten tion of the Pullman surcharge was urg ed in the senate by Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina, chairman of the interstate commerce committee. . Senator Smith also asked the senate to order the commissioner's, recom mendation set aside through an.amend- ment to be attached to some pending bill. - .This course, he* said, would get the question into conference with the house without the necessity of waiting on that chamber to act on a bill or dering elimination of the surcharge •which the senate passed at the last session.Senator Smith, described the fifty per cent surcharge as “unusual and, 4n my opinion, unlawful,” and assert ed that the ,report of the interstate* commerce commission upholding the rate was “unfkir and unjust to thejlay- “The report tried to make out,” he continued, “that the handling of Pull man cars was more expensive to the railroad than ordinary cars. AS a matter of fact, railroads are relieved of the expense of upkeep of Pullm cars by the Pullman company. ' Rear Admiral Hawley ^ etlred- .

The number of dead gradual ly has mounted, uhtil now it is feared the total deaths will reach the neigh borhood of 230. Very few of the miners engaged in the workings escaped. Many were killed outright, but the majority are believed to have died from poisonous gases.

Expert rescuers have been rushed to Dortmund from all over the coun try. Urges Federal Marketing Body. Washington—Qreation of the feder al-co-operative marketing board, one of the principal recommendations of the President’s agricultural eosference, was porposed in the sesate by Sena tor Capper, republican, Kansas, while the senate and house agriculture com mittees both continued examination of members of the conference with a view to proposing other legislation to carry out its findings. The Capper bill followed exactly the terms of the "measure offered in the house by Representative Haugen, re publican, Iowa, chairman of the agri culture committee of that chamber, which has the approval, in principle, of Chairman Carey, of the President’s conference. The message was sent, in the usual course, to the senate agri culture committee, which plans to con tinue its hearings this week and begin formulation of a .program next week. The members of the President’s con ference appearing before both the senate and house mid committees con tinued to stress' the importance of broadening the field of co-operative as sociations. On the house side, Louis J. Taber asserted. that, except for the livestock industry, the post-war emer gency had passed, and explained that the conference commendations were worked out as permanest relief meas ures which would become effective in three tjo five years. - .

New York.—Two men were killed and more than .50 persons were hurt in a series Of collisions on New York’s transit lines while one of the heaviest fogs of .recent years enveloped the city. Harbor and river traffic was vir- tuarlly paralyzed as results of the lowering fog that clung close to the surface of the water. The fog was ‘reported general, extending along most of the Atlantic seaboard and af fecting traffic on land and sea over a wide area. Early reports indicated that- the most serious of the series of accidents of .the city’s transit lines occurred in the Bronx, where an elevated train smashed into the rear of a s.ubway train on the elevated structure. Two were known to have been killed in this collision, while the estimate of injured ran well above 40. There were two accidents in Brook lyn suburbs. Two trains of the Man hattan Transit Company of the Fulton street line came together in a rear-end collision, inflicting injuries to a dozen men and women.

Cave City, Ky.—“There was some thing in Sand Cave that unnerved the best -men and all of them were abso lutely exhausted when they came out,” Wm. Hanson,- town, marshal, testified before the military court of inquiry at the opening of the session here: He told of early unorganized efforts of volunteers to rescue Floyd Collins, en tombed in the cave since Janumy 30. ‘.‘Johnnie Gerald, a young' man known to have a good nerve and a good reputation, volunteered,” he said, “to go into the cave if he would be allowed to pick a crew whom he could trust not to pull out loose" rock and make the opening more dangerous. He went into the cave and came out a complete wreck. “Burdon, of tlje Louisville fire de partment, did the same thing. There was something that unnerved the best men and all of. them were absolutely exhausted when they came out.” Asked by Captain Alex M. Chaney if there had been any disorder before or after the troops arrived, Hanson replied that there had been some dis order but since the arrival of soldiers everything had been orderly. He said he considered the shaft the only way the rescue might be effect ed -and that the work was in compe tent hands. Samuel H.

Typhoid Oysters Traced to N. Y- Plant. ’ Washington.—Investigation of the recent “excessive prevalence" of ty phoid fever in New York, Chicago, Washington and several other cities has led the Public Health Service to conclude that the disease was caused by shell oysters distributed by a com pany operating within the vicinity of West Sayville1 N. Y, “The preponderance of evidence is that the general supply of no. large ,distributor of oysters was uniformly affected,” said a public health state ment, “but that oysters infected in one or more beds -or part or parts of one or more beds or at one or more floats, and constituting but a. small proportion of the total were introduced into and distributed with a large suppl yof oys ters of good sanitary quality.” The period of excess prevalence of typhoid was said to have been between October 25 and December 20,1924, and there was no’ reason to believe Eiat oysters distributed since Decembefs 20 by the company near West SayviUe or any other large distributor, “have been any more of a factor in the spread of typhoid ihfectibn than such oysters were in any corresponding period within the last several years.

He tore strips from his shirt, went down to the water and cleansed them thoroughly; then, returning, he proceeded to wash and bandage it. It was a bad gash from a rock, and she had bled a good deal, which was a good thing, relieving the concussion which had no doubt been the cause of the prolonged insensibility. Having ascertained that she seemed to have received no bodily injuries beyond contusions, Lee examined her limbs. He saw that one knee hung awry. In a moment he had the gaiter off, and discovered that the joint had been dis located. ' ‘ It was unnerving, holding thsX white knee between his hands, so instinct with life, so fragile, delicate, so wonderful when viewed as a piece of mechanism which he. was to manipulate like some clumsy journeyman, called in to repair the work of a master. Fortunately, Lee had assisted at precisely that same operation several times in the field; and, trying to disregard the moans of pain that came from the girl's lips as he proceeded, he fumbled with the displaced bone. But that struggle was terrible, for the body of itself knows no dignity. . Conscious, Lee knew that the girl would neither have flinched nor moaned: but unconscious, she could not.control the pro tests of the body, which had to be restrained by something almost brutal in its frank violence. But Lee struggled on, feeling the shaft head of the bone scour the edges of the socket under the cap. A final struggle, the weight of his whole bo’dy and shoulders thrown to his task—and suddenly it was accomplished. . Here you have the hero and heroine: Lee Anderson, Royal Canadian Mounted Police sergeant, and Joyce Pelly. They have been thrown down a cliff by an explosion of dynamite, set off by the Free Traders. The girl's memory is gone from the shock; they are in a wilderness and are being pursued by the Pree Traders, who are bent on killing the hero and recapturing the girl, whom Rathway their leader, greatly desires. More over, Anderson, who has met the girl on the trail by chance, is there to arrest Joyce’s father. The Free Traders, wilderness hootch-runners, think he is after them. And Anderson, in rescuing the girl from them, has beaten up Rathway in a fight. So the story starts out with the hero and heroine in difficulties. Who is the author? Why, Victor Rousseau. And that tells you a lot—among other things, that the adventures of the young couple to date aren't a circumstance to what’s coming. The hero is shot at, thrown into a cataract and. generally manhandled. The heroine is abducted again by Ratiiway. But someway both manage to escape death. And in the end of course.the brave deserves the fair and wins her, even if his purpose to arrest the .heroine’s father mighty near wrecks the exciting' romance. CHAPTER I Sergeant Anderson Rides Into Little Falls Lee Anderson, sergeant in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, had- been leading his horse up the last hill. Now. he stopped at; the top and lit his pipe, letting the animal'snatch a few blades of the sparse grass that; grew among the ferns and raspberry brambles beside the cart track. There were, perhaps; thirty-three or four years to his credit. His rattier lined, deeply sunburned face andt throat contrasted markedly with the edging of white flesh at the V-top of his open shirt. Lee, in his prospec tor’s clothing, appeared to be typically one of those reserved, quiet, self-’con- tained men whom the north breeds. His rather heavy horse, a combina tion of pack and saddle, was well laden bqhind the rolled blankets that formed a parapet across its shoulders. Lee inhaled with delight the warm, steamy exhalations of the earth, rich with the added debris of the year. He turned and looked forward, be yond the settlement of Little Falls, lying at the foot of the slope in front of him, the last of the settle ments on his side, of Stony range. It was an unkempt, untidy little place, created by the advent of the lumber companies a fe* years before, and straggling among the knee-high' stumps of what had been virgin forest within the ..decade. After his ' belated return. from France, only to find the old North west mounted, of which he had been a member, merged in the new Do minion body, Lee himself had been stationed at Manistree. He had been in the police eight years before the war. It was the only life that ap pealed to him. His service had ex pired during his term at the front, but his first r.ct or returning had been to rejoin. Inspector Crawley had sent for him a few days later. “Anderson,” he said, “I want, you to be ready to start for Stony range in the morning to pick up a man named Pelly. He’s on the list of ‘wanted’—headed it for some time, in fact. I guess you don’t know, any thing about the case, though.” “No, .sir. It must have happened while I was in France.” ;. . “Oh,, it happened a deuce of a time before you went to France,, Anderson. Twenty-five years ago, more or less. Might have left the poor devil' alone, especially as .he’s:been, a fugitive so long. But it’s murder. Sergeant, and —well, the new police have got to show themselves just as efficient blood, hounds as the. old force. The papers In the. case have just come through Ottawa., “This man PelIy appears to .have billed a man in..Toronto, in the nine ties for insulting bis: wife. Those d<* tails are not given. It appears a tip came down some , time ago that Petty has been living in the Siston lake' region, on the other side of Stony range, for a good many years, Pelly appears to have got wind of this and made a quick getaway. Now the word’s come In that he’s been seen in the district. May be true or false. “Piobably it won’t be possible to convict now. If it is possible, I don’t suppose he’ll get much of a sentence. But headquarters are anxious that we sliould establish our prestige by getting after him—to show that tve’re on Ae job as .our predecessors were. I want you to ride In, and, if he’s alive, pick him up and bring him back with you.” Anderson saluted. He was about to leave the office when the inspector called! him back. “Stop a moment, Sergeant. You can guess that this man Petty was probably betrayed* by someone with a grudge against him. I suppose you know that the Free Traders opened up at Siston lake'during the war?” The Free Traders, as Anderson knew, were a gang of liquor. men, organized from Montreal, and sending its agents fair and wide into the In dian lands, debauching and corrupt ing. The Free Traders dealt In hu man souls as weli as fur and whisky; they were the most iniquitous thing that had so far entered the northern territories. “There’s a man named Jim Rath way who seems to be handling their work for ’em up, there. Ten to one his, gang’s mixed up with this Pelly matter in some way! Perhaps they’re out for Petty’s head because he wouldn’t stand in with ’em. On the other hand there’s the chance that he’s - in with ’em and someone else tipped us off. In that case you’ll find yourself up against the organization. “This Rathway’s .believed to have been running liquor under various aliases for years, and- there’s ugly rumor about happenings at an Indian camp in the Far North, where the Free Traders have, another post at Lake Misquash. They’ve got to be a big factor during the years of the war —so big that we’re not going to tackle ’em until we’re ready to launch a general campaign against ’em. "You’ll remember not to butt'In if you find ’em selling liquor, but pick up Pelly as quietly as possible, and take notes, if you get the chance, on what’s going on at Siston lake.. “You’ve got carte blanche, and you’ll take a covering warrant from the sti pendiary to use in any way you see' fit. And take all the time you want; because, there’ll be nothing doing till spring. But don’t let ’em get wise to your job. vSo you’ll leave your uni form behind you, Sergeant, and con duct yoiir inquiries as inconspicuously as possible. And in a case like this, one man’s, better than two. ■ That’s why Pm sending you alone. ; “Finally, you’ll bear In mind that Petty’s arrest comes first. Soon as you locate him, bring him out of the range.” 1 At dawn Lee was upon the road. There had been rumors—recurrent rumors of a gold find in Stony range that summer, but the nearer Lee got bo the range the less explicit the news became. He passed a number of men on their way south, morose and sullen, but ready enough to pour out their grievance that a summer’s prospect ing had fatted to show even a trace of color anywhere. Lee had listened to their stories and then gone on, leaving the impression that he was a prospector on a be lated Journey to the range. And now at last the range lay In front of him, uplifting its wild peaks into the glory of the autumn sunset. Lee felt, his heart uplifted too. This was life at its most zestful—the world spaces, and the hunting of the king of all created beings—Man. So, leading his horse, Lee passed down the long slope toward the set tlement of Little Falls. Soon he was abreast of the first shacks, set in the clearings among the stumps. Then came rows of uniformly ugly wooden cottages, a small mission church with a tin roof, a bank, and a small hotel announcing itself by a dilapidated shingle. Lee fastened his horse A the hitcl\- Ing. post, in front and entered. On the right of the interior passage was the dining-room, on the left the parlor, with the furniture piled up in cor ners and the floor strewn with duffle- bags and blankets. A passage ran past a flight of rickety stairs, and from a room at -the end of this came the clamor of voices.. Here Lee found the bar, packed' tight, and running wide open. Be hind the mahogany stood a fat and cynical-looking landlord. “How about a room and stabling for 'the night?” asked Lee. The landlord slid a schooner of beer from one end of the bar to the middle, and turned to . Lee, his fat body quivering, apparently with mirth, though his face did not relax any thing of its solemn, cynical aspect. ’“Stabling? You said it. Boom? You' c’n have six foot ,by four of the parlor floor, stranger,” he answered. "Pretty full, eh?” “Fuller ’n h—l's full of fire-logs.” “Logging crews signing up?” "Loggin’, nothin’. Town’s full of these here fool guys that’s been pros pectin’ Stony range all summer. Got cold feet all to onct and all quit to gether. Feeling pretty sore over it, I gubss. Ya ain’t aiming to start fer the range yerself this time of year?” “I guess there’ll be time to wash a few pans of dirt,” answered Lee. "Then maybe I’ll board my horse here and trap a bit this winter.” He led his horse Into the stable, gave It some corn and racked out a And Now at Last—the Range Lay In Front of Kim, Uplifting Its Wild Peaks Into the. Glory of the Autumn Sunset. ■ bale of hay, and carried his blankets back to the hotel parlor, where he staked out a sleeping claim, upon the floor. ‘ ' A small negro boy, carrying a large bell, came out,of the kitchen and be gan to ring it, swaying to and fro! with a cheerful grin, as if he were tied to the clapper. • At the sound of‘the cracked tones the men began to straggle out of the bar into the .dining-room, where they took .their seats on long benches; either side of a long table. covered with a stained, tattered - oilcloth, on which were placed cheap kniveis, forks, spoons and 'plates. Next appeared a. thick-set young squaw who began to hand out por tions of a greasy dinner, consisting of suspicious meat, beans, and potatoes that bad apparently been frozen to death' In bed. Lee, who had taken a seat oppo site the door, 'surveyed the other guests with that qujet watchfulness which was a part of his nature as well as of his training. For the most part he summed them up as being of the average prospector type. Among them, however, appeared to be a few of those bard-bitten charac ters who are to be found In every gold rush. Most of them had been drink ing hard, and all seemed embittered by their experiences of the summer. They were freely cursing their ill- luck. Lee’s attention was first drawn to the two men who were seated oppo site him by the fact that they took no part in this chorus of denunciation. A glance showed him that they were not prospectors, and that the under standing between them was an Inti mate one.One was a short, thick-set, muscular red-haired man, with one of the hard est and most repulsive faces that Lee had ever seen. The other, apparently his partner, was a huge half-breed with a great muscular torso covered with black hair, and long gorilla-like arms. “Ef I had that guy here wbat started that yarn about the gold In Stony range—” began a . man on Lee’s right. “Ah, for the love of Mike, cut out that spiel, Bill I” shouted another across the table. “D’you think you’re the only renl fool’s ben summerin’ in the range?” 1 “Old Petty never found no gold mine. He was cracked about it. Ef he had, wouldn’t others have got wise to it, with , half the district bangin’ about the range spyin’ on him?” “Nobody knows what happened- to him.' do they?” "Jest disappeared. Mebbe he had a stroke in the woods or somethin’. No body’s seen nor heard of him this goOd while past.” Lee absorbed this conversation without feeling that he had got very far. Pelly had discovered a proble matical gold mine. Pelly had disap peared; it began to seem probable that the report of his return was false. If these mcA had been pros pecting'the range all the summer, it was probable that If Petty had re turned to the vicinity they would have heard of It. In which case someone would have corrected the statement that nothing was known about it. While he listened Lee noticed that the two men opposite him were like wise taking in everjr word: The big breed was obviously under the. in fluence of liquor, and his little com panion was not only watching the company but also watching him. At times he would turn and whisper In his companion’s ear. And once, in his close scrutiny of the company, he turned his gaze on Lee. For a moment Lee felt chilled by the eyes of the little red-haired man. They were pale grey, glassy, venom* ous. They looked like a snake’s eyes. Lee, though his gaze was as steady as the other’s, did. not like the look of the little red-haired man.. The conversation drifted. By twos and threes the men began to make their way back to the bar. Lee had risen from the table and left the din ing-room, intending to take a smoke on the stoop, when he heard a femi nine voice, and found himself staring in surprise at a girl who had just come in and was in conversation with the landlord. For this was not in the least the type of girl whom one might look for In such a place as Little Falls.-' . CHAPTER II A Girl Rides Info the Range She was perhaps two or three and twenty, slender, of medium height, with clear, grey, fearless eyes,' and hair of pale brown with gold flecks In it, coiled up loosely about her head. Her, open mackinaw revealed an almost boyish figure, slender '’and long-walsted. She wore corduroy breeches and riding gaiters; and there was about her that hardly definable, but unmistakable air of breeding that crops out in such unexpected plaefis along the Anglo-Saxon frontier. From a respectful distance the men were staring at her, each asking Lee’s unspoken^ question as to what such a girl was doing In Little Falls.That she was riding into the range was evident. Had she been riding out, the men would have,, known' of her. But—whose daughter, was she? There was no one In the now de-" sertdd range^to, whom she could be going. The only possible: destination might be the Moravian mission on the other side... But-—there were no' women at the mission: "Well, ya see, Miss,” the' fat; land lord, was saying, "we’re purty well filled up so fur as' rooms is concerned. But the wife’s over to Old Landlngfer a few days, an’ I guess you c’n hev our.room till she .comeB home. It’s the : fust room on the right at the top of the . stairs. Yfcu Jest walk up and make yourself comfortable, Miss, and I’ll take your hoss into the stable and see that he gits fed and watered. And supper’s ready.’ “Thank you, but I had mine on the road. And I shall be going on early In the morning.' By now the crowd of ex-prospectors had formed a wide circle about the girl, standing as far as the pas sage would, permit,, staring and scrutinizing her frankly, and looking sheepishly away whenever her un embarrassed glance ..fell upon any of them. Lee, hearing' a muttering be hind him, turned, to see the big breed staring at the girl and whispering ex citedly to his companion. His red headed partner was tugging at his arm as if to restrain him. “Yon d—n fool, Pierre!” Lee heard him expostulate. Suddenly the breed shook off the other’s grip and lurched toward. Planting himself in front of the girl, From a Respectful pistance the Men Were Staring at Her, Each Asking Lee’s Unspoken Question as to What Such a Girl Was Doing in Littie Falls.• ’ . \ he leaned toward her, with an ex pression on his face that, brought the blood into her cheeks. Before he could utter a word, how ever, Lee stepped quietly into the breach with that instinctive air of au thority which he retained, despite the shedding of his uniform. “That’ll be all,” he said crisply. The breed turned on him and broke into a string of oaths. “Say, whadya mean?” he shouted. 'You don’ know me. He don’, know who he’s talking to, eh, .Shorty? Pm Pierre Cauchon.”, He doubled a brawny forearm. "Say, young feller, you see dis? Dere ain't no man either side of de range can say ’dat’ll be all’ to Pierre Cauchon. You t’ink you can fight; mebbe?” . Lee, mindful of the rigid code of conduct that .bound him, shook bis head. “I never fight if I can help It,”, he answered. ' The -two men snickered, and. there came a murmur of disgust from the crowd, which, till that moment, had been decidedly favorable to Lee. The breed turned about. “He never fight if he can help it,” he jeered. “You hear dat, boys?” He turned to Lee again. “Mebbe you like to set up de drinks, den?” he inquired blandly. “I don’t drink,” answered Lee with; complete equanimity. “Well, whadya t’ink of dat?” cried Pierre1 to the crowd again. “He don’ fight an’ he don’ drink.' You sure are one' d—n four-flusher,” . he grinned belligerently in Lee’s face. Lee; relieved to see, without trail ing his head, that the girl had taken the opportunity, to slip away, returned Pierre’s glare calmly.. The breed was poising himself ready to strike, but something In Lee’s aspect, some un- certainty, the inability to size him up. checked him. Perhaps he sensed- how quickly Lee’s right arm,' hang ing negligently before him, would rise to-the defensive ; 'perhaps he did not like the look of Lee’s left. Looks as if the sergeant was ia for a tough time. And who Js the girl he has befriended?

In the the old world, under the despositism of Europe; the masses of ignorant men, mere inert masses, are moved upon and controlled by the intelligent and cultivated aristocracy But in this republic, where -government rests upon the will of the people, every man has an active power tor good or evil, and the great question, is, will be think lightly or wrongly; shall the power iu him be educated and directed aright toward industry liberty and patriotism, ot, under the baneful mfluence of false he ories-and evil influences, shall it lead linn coutmuallv downward and • work out anarchy.and.rum both to him and the government? The question is not whether our people shall be educated or not. If they are not educated 111 the.school of virtue and integrity they will be educated ir, the school of vice and iniquity.

Many accidents on the highway come through the uncontrollable desire of some to pass every one. Itisquite natural for drivers to wish ,to pass at times, there are of ten good reasons for one driver to run. by others, but much of the passing on the highway is due to no other reason than jttst the in born desire to do something over the other fellow. When one these cant-stay-behind fellows heads out to pass every one, just might ais well let him go, for he .will, re gardless of iticouveuience or dis pleasure to other on the highway. There is always a degree of danger attending running by other drivers, especially when a car is approach ing from the other end of the high way. Driverswhomust pass should observe proper caution and those who rtish by merely for the thril ought.to have a care. Many of the distressing accidents of the da/ are due to this desire to pass every body so IongasthereJis a car ahead- These is also the disposition. on the part of some drivers to live up to a solemn threat expressed like this: They shall not pass, and this challenge leads to a further danger when it is accepted by the driver of the rear car. This is not a lesson in driving cars; it is not a' faultfinding in gen eral, but only a mild suggestion or two which observed may help to keep down accidents on the ever crowded highways. Four were killed at the Jackson crossing, and according to the evi dence the car which went dead on the.,track.‘b.e£pr«-a--‘passeugoi^--train-; the’driyer vvas a 12 year old boy. It ought by this time to be pretty well understood that a person must be 16 years old before, permitted to drive a car. But this colored lad, now dead, was not the only one, for every where one turns children driving tars may be seen. They drive, small flivvers and they steer high-powered cars 'h which tide the rich. Regardless of the fact that the law says, wait till the years of responsibility are reached, the child is permitted at the wheel of many, many cars. People who claim to be law-abiding aud who could complain bitterly against in fractions of the law by other folks sit their children in the front seat, turn the wheel over to them, and rest easy, and totally indifferent. Good folks, it is not right, no mat ter who it is.—Ex. Kisses and Kisses. London Tit-Bits. Although the kiss is nnkuown at any rale neglected, in many parts of the world, nearly every nation has some form of salutation which corresponds with the Euro pean kiss. . - The Malays aud the Eskimos greet each other by rubbing noses. Among the Burmese form of greet iug which denotes affection is* to apply the cheek and draw a long breath. In Iceland the people do not understand the kiss as a mode of salutation belonging to the super- nattial. If a child is ill you will sometimes see its mother solemnly kiss the little one the breast—an invocation to the Supreme Being that her child may be cured. ■ TheJapanese lover-does not sa lute his bethroth in our fashion.

When Governor Bickett put over thejrevalution act in - 1919 personal projjety exemption was increased -to $3 0 0 , and ever since a lot ,of folks have been mightily pei- turjSed on account of the great a,- mottnt of property escaping tax<t- tigin: as a result of the $300 exemp- tion; ..

Some ofthe Ie gislators couldn’t abide the thought that .some folks were riding in cars and .hot paying taxes. Of course the car owner within the $300 ex emption wouldn’t have much of a machine when.its vafue was added to that of'his other possessions; and he would pay license and gosoline tax just the sanie. But the fact that some poor folks who h ive no business with a car of course, but who ,exercise-the inalienable right to posses oiie if they can get up the price of a cheap second hand affair, could ride and escape taxes 011 the value of the car, has been a red rag to some of the legislators. They- estimate that the~$3 oo exemption, is losing taxes to the counties on $200,000 worth of property, an av erage of $2,000 to the county. That wouldn’t do at all. Notfinding it expedient to Say who should and who should buy cars, the patriotic seuaitors, refusing to allow any guil ty man to escape, dut the exemp- tiorifto &50. - It’s all very smalt business, if yaii ask us. As a matter of fact evei’^ckly;'wh<>'has.■-givetr-’any at- • ention to the matter of tax listing knows that, the more one has the less tax he pays iu proportion to what he has. The very smallness of the possessions means that there is less opportunity to hide anything from the tax lister. It is easy to find it all when there isn’t much and it goes on the books at more nearly jts value than where there are-great possessions. Not so much because there is a conspiracy to get the poor man’s all while-the more fortunate are favored, but because when there is more something may be omitted, accidentally or other wise, without attracting attention: and the aggregate value of a sizable bunch of property mounts so ra pidly that the inclination: to hold down the value is almost irresistible. Moreover the citizen of means, in herently as honest as the poor, has a feeling that he is bearing the burden of taxation aud that he is entirely justified in trimming his returns; and furthermore he can and does make investments that are non-taxable. The assertion is risk ed that the tax books in any coui.- ty iu the State will verify the fore going. Instead of devising wayi and means £9 get alf ihat is justly due, from him who has and who does es cape much because of his posses sions. tlie-noble senators are deter mined that the ewe lamb shall’ not e cape.

But the poor man must be taxed to- his shirt in properiy tax levies. He might buy a car and ride without paying taxes, on the value, of the car. But it will neVer do in the world to levy a sales, tax on cigarettes and soft drinks.

' The few people iu New York state who recently attracted much attention to themselves by dating the end of the world for February 6. and making preparation for the event,: suggested referenc e to;- the: Millerites or Second Adventists, who prepared for a similar event in 1843 An interesting and amusing incident in connection with the Miller pro..hecy is related in Clif ton Johnson's -'Hudson Maxim.” It is quoted in Ray Staunard Bak er’s reqiew of that book, in the cur rent number of the International Book Review. Hudson Maxim’s father was one of the Millerite sect. The elder Maxim is described as "a visionary, inventive ne’er-do well." Here is Hudson Maxim’s story' of his father's experience on the mem orable night in 1S43 . when Christ was expected to come in His glory, as predicted by Miller: My father stood out in his front yard that memorable watch-night and looked .toward heaven. He stood there alone, for mother didn’t believe a word of the new creed. She jeered liiiii. and said: “When you see Christ a-comin,’ call me, and I’ll come out and ketclrholdof your coat-tails and go. ut> with you ” ■ The towndock struck twelve, and the minutes went slowly bv as father watched and waited. At last, despondent, crestfallen, sorely chagrined, he shed his ascension robes and his new religion and went to bed. • ». Nearly alljlie:peopje in Sanger- ville had’ joined' the order, and when 1 he-night of' the second ad- vant came, many of them gathered uear the church in the ceuter of the village. One of the party was JIrs Lucinda Johnson, a staunch be liever, who couldn’t quite suppress her ill-will toward" another hoiv woman by' the name ot Rebecca Adams, Rebocca and Lucinda had been rivals for years, and Rebecca generally got ahead of Lucinda. She was rather better, looking, too, and had been more favoied by the pastor.. However, Lticinda wasn’t going to let Becky get ahead of her with Jesus. J ust across the road- from the church was a siore that chanced to have a ladder leaning a gainst the roof, and Lucinda, a lit tle before midnight dressed in-pure white rainineut made out of a pail of sheets, climbed up the ladder and crept along the ridgepole to the gable-end. - The sexton was in the church, ready with his hands on the bell cold. H,e had been directed to keep an eve out and not to ring on the appearance of the mere outriders heraldingthe Lord. He was to wait until he saw" the chariot of the Master Himself, and the ring fait aud loud. ButsucIi was the sex ton’s confidence "that Christ would keep his appointment that the moment the clock began to strike twelve he tugged-at the bell cord. Lucinda was waiting for the btli to apprise her that the Saviour was at band, and at its first note she stretched her arms skyward and leaped, calling. “Take me, Jesus, take me ahead of that old Beck Adams.” > But some mistake has been made by thecommittee 011 arraogements,- for Christ didn’t appear. As a re sult, Liicindal came down.'.on' the frozen, unsympathetic i ground, breaking twoiribs and am arm, and discountenancing her face some. J t may be cif interest to .mention that William Miller; founder of this sect, born' in ; Pittsfield, JEass., "in 1782, who spent most of? Iiis life in New York.state, was a. captain in the American army in the war 1812. .Soon after his army experience he becatuedeeply interested in religion. As a result of his sttfty oi tbp Bible, as early as 1818 he fixed the year 1843 as the^period for Christ's se cond advent, and in the iuterven iug years he devoted himself Io what We would now call propa ganda in behalf of that event. He was licensed to preach in 1833 but never ordained. He lectured to large audiences on the subject throughout New England and the Middle states, and as a result of his lectures and writings lie had many followers. As the year 1843 drew near the excitement was intense a- mOng the Millerites. and no doubt uiany who scoffed openly were se cretly apprehensive. When the year 1843 ended with the old world going 011 as before. Miller wrotetiis follows confessing his error and ac knowledging his disappointment. But later he was moved to another trial and fixed October 22, 1844, aJi the end of time. And even after after his second failure many of his disciples -remained faithful, con tinuing to belive in him until his death, which occurred in 1S49. -It will be observed that they look their prophets more Serioni-Iy in the last century than we do in this; aud it is also worthy of note that the peculiar religious sects which have arisen from time to time and at tracted. more or less notice for a period, moved and nad their being mainly in New England and the west. Our folks in this part of the country have never been hospitable to anything tint seemed to depart the accepted, standards, of which we have some evidence at this pre sent time’—R. R. Clark, iu Greens boro News. v Tlie Bailey Case. : There will probably be little con demnation among those who have followed the evidence in the Bailey case at the verdict of acquittal re turned by the jury as to'those who had eliargs of the sale of more than a million dollars in stock that is now worthless. There was a little of evidence to convict these men of the crime .with which they weie charged, that of using the mails to defraud. Undoubtedly some of the moie enthusiastic of these salesmen went too far in their description of the “opportunity” for a good invest ment they were offering. They urged too strenuously in order that they mightluake commissions. But many of them, perhaps most of them, perhaps most of them 110 doubt, really believe they were of fering something good. And here is the thing that makes the professional stock salesman dangerous. To be successful in his business he must get himself to the point of believing in his wares. The more he talks them the more he be lieves in his own arguments, and the more likely it believes in his o>vn argument, and the more likely it becomes that he will find pur chasers.' Bailey Brothers tobacco concern had enjoyed a long and fairly suc cessful career. But it was a little fellow and was not bothering any body very much. The stock sales man and the buyer of stock over looked the fact that when the con cern left its quiet pond and tried the more tempestuous waters of big business'it was entering a place infested with.sharks and swept by storms of avarice that had left many forlorn wrecks along tlie shores of the industrial sea.

There was a great- profusion of flowers and candy which required the services of two assistants to place in the salon coach in which the Keloggs traveled. Mr. Kellogg, in an address, referred to the similarity of • the ideals of Great Britain and the United States and remarked upon the progress to ward stabilizing that Europe had made in the past 12 months.

Thestate- ment was not given to the press but, according to reports of if obtained through conference delegates, its pur- pbrt was that it would be iinpossible to negotiate an effective conventiop without the collaboration of such a big producing and exporting country as the United . States; furthermore, that he (McNeill) was afraid the leg islation of some of the individual States of the American Union would not permit the United.

Washington^v— Declaring that in some instances the federal inheritance tax ,when added £o similar state levies, amounts to virtual confiscation. Pres ident Goolidge in an address opening the national iqheritance and estate tax conference, urged the gradual retire ment by the government from the field of taxation. Representative Green,, of Iowa, chairman of the house Ways and means committee, addressing a night session of the conference, which was called by the national tax association, took an opposite view, asserting that without a federal inheritance tax “similar taxes imposed by the slates inevitably would fail.” “If we are to adopt socialism,” Mr. Coolidge said in his’.address, “it should be presented to the people of this country as socialism and riot under the guise of a law to collect revenue.” He added that there was competi tion between the states to reach, through the inheritance tax, not only the property of its own citizens, but that of citizens of other states. greater economy in the collection of revenues also was. recommended by the President. Mr. Green asserted that the tax as it now stands allows , a credit of '25 per cent of the federal tax to cover states inheritance taxes and' elimi nated the “islands of refuge” for tax dodgers in states where such levies are not imposed. Although the maxi mum inheritance tax rate had been been increased 10 per cent last year, this was offset, he said, byt the 25 per cent state allowance.” The Iowa representative saw no reason why, at the next session of Congress, income taxes should not be largely reduced, or the maximum rates, at least, brought down “to a point that would not have been thought possible a few years ago. In Lowering the rates, however, he insisted, “we should reserve our inheritance tax system.” DIES WITH MONEY ON PERSON-IN-18 PLACES.

Wholesale Commodity Prices Rise. Washington.—1Due largely to a four and a half per cent increase in farm products prices, the'general level of wholesale commodity prices showed a decided advance during January. , .Figures made public by the bureau of labor statistics of the labor depart ment raised the weight - index num ber to 160 for January from the De cember level of 157.

Mother earth, after clinging grimly and in death to FIoyd Collins for more than 17 .days, finally surren dered at 2:45 o’clock Monday after noon, and without warning opening a tiny hole between the rescue shaft and the natural tomb of the cave ex plorer. Peering down this tiny fissure into Sand Cave, the brave workers who had waged unequal combat with the natur al forces of the earth, saw that what they had fought so har.d for had been lost. Collins was dead. But they will reclaim his body, only to restore it again to the rugged hills he roamed as a youth and explored as ri man. ’ “Thank God, they’ve found him.” This was Lee Collins’ single statement after his boy had been found. A terse statement, signed by the three men who had led scores of oth ers in the long fight, told of the re sult and paid tribute to their' assist ants. • After describing the break through the roof of Sand Cave and the prelim inary investigation of it by Albert Marshall the statement said: “His game little partner, Edward Brenner ,of Cincinnati, whose work has been very conspicuous and of uri- told value by reason of his small stature, great strength and iron nerve, went down head foremost into this hazardous pit and with a light closely examined the face and position of the man who we understood is Floyd Col- lins, and called up to Mr. Carmichael, '-flve’’feet;above him, that the man was cold and apparently dead. The bulletin was signed by Brig- adier. General H. H. Denhardt,, H. T. .Carmichael and Mi. E. S. Posey. Dr. William Hazlett, of Chicago, and Dr. C. E. Francis, of Bowling Green, Ky., announced later that from infor mation they had obtained, Collins had. been dead more than 24 hours. Although the quest for Collins had ended In locating his body, the tired miners, saddened by the realization that the man they tried so hard to save was dead, turned, heavy-hearted, to the still dangerous task of recover ing his body. Four men were in the shaft when the final stroke came" with startling: suddenness. They were Albert Marsh all, of Danville; ,A. Blevens, Louis ville; Simon Johns and John Stevens. Silently they" toiled as they had done for unnumbered hours before, when Blevens, as he plunged his spade in the earth broke the final corinect- irig link. The four men started at the1 broken wall for some time,- seemingly unable to realize that the goal had been reached. Finally Blevens said: “We’re here." A shout went up to the men at- the top of the shaft. Mr. Carmich-- aei descended a moment later, and then sent for Brenner. It was d’ecided to permit Marshall to attempt to descend through the opening; He was too large to go head foremost, so he felt his way with his feet. t. “I’ll go,” Brenner asserted, and with a nod from Mr. Carmichael, he was in the hole head first. ’ Five minutes he remained'there and the nbacked out. “Dead,” he reported, - Mr.-Carmichael ascended to the sur face to confer with other officials and a moment latef the official statement was read.

Washington. — President Coolidge added a new chapter to the air service controversy by making public the re port of a special navy board convened by his direction which.found that the •battleship remained “the final arbiter In sea warfare” and that aeroplanes would never “assume paramount im portance." • At the same time the President is sued a formal statement in explana tion of the $30,000,000 supplemental' naval estimates recently submitted to Congress by the budget bureau, which were founded on recommendations of the naval board, but sharply modified. The complete building program sub mitted by the board involved expendi tures of $80,000,000 a year for three years. T,he President makes no reference to the board’s findings as to relative military value of aircraft, battleships and submarines, the problem he as signed it to study when he directed that it be convened- last September. He adoptes the board's view, however, that modernization of old battleships (not including the elevation of guns) is the first requirement, completion of aircraft carriers and their planes second, and construction of two 10,- 000-ton cruisers third. The board’s building program was scaled down by the President all along the line, how ever, to reduce the immediate cost from $80,000,000 to $30,000,000. The memorandum described the. President as “feeling that an expenditure of that magnitude ($80,000,000), as not war ranted at the present time.” Plans Laid ForT1IavaI Arms Parley. Washington.—Definite if informal steps byjhe Washington government are in progress for a new naval con ference to extend treaty limitations to auxiliary craft.. Preliminary coriversations in Lon don, Tokio and Rome are indicated to have met with favorable reactions. Success Af the project appears to rest upon the attitude, of Paris. A. confer- ence, on invitation of President Cool- idgp is a possibility only if it can be found that obstacles of 1921 which blocked the road to complete naval limitation in the original' Washington conference, have been removed. The fact that informal negotiations were in progress was disclosed here after Foreign Secretary Chamberlain, in London, -had dropped a hint of them in parliament. Officials would not go beyond confirming that the Con versations were going on in capitals of •all powers signatory to the Washing ton naval treaty. It was learned authoritatively, how ever, that the question of land arma ments is not involved. The position of the Washington government on that score remains as" it was* in 1921—that land armaments constitute a European political and economic problem and initiative for a limitation treaty must come from Europe. Blast Wrecks Buildings. I Pittsburgh--Three buildings in the Penn avenue wholesale produce dis trict of Pittsburgh were demolished by a series .of explosions with a loss of $125,000.

Chapm an.)WNU Service. CHAPTER II—Continued —2— He. took refuge in irony. “Well, whadya t’ink of him, boys?” he de manded again of the men, who had formed a close circle around the pair. “He don’ fight an' he .got de nerve to say ‘dat ’11 be all’ to Pierre Cauchon. No, 'by gar, I guess you know better dan to fight,” he continued, adding a foul epithet; and, grinning, lie lurched insolently past toward the bar, shoul dering Lee as he passed. He looked back for an instant to see whether the other would accept " the- provocation, and, seeing that he showed no signs of doing so, he went on his way , with Shorty. The crowd gave Lee the onee-over contemptu ously. It had np love for the bully, but an individual tfltbout the fighting instinct is not supposed to pose as a ’ lady’s champion and then back down. The minds of the prospectors were too obtuse to see that Lee had simply been satisfied with gaining his point and enabling the girl to get away un molested. Lee paced the stoop for a while, finished a pipe, and went early to his blankets. He Interested himself in speculating who the girl was. She was almost certainly going to the mission; there could be no other destination. Perhaps he would see her again. He thought o f the possibility quite without emo tion. He ceased to think of her, and, tired after the day’s ride, began to doze. He was awakened when the men be gan to stagger into the parlor. Nearly all of them were drunk, some were rolling drunk,. and, after sporadic, noisy altercations, they were, soon sprawled out like logs all over the floor, and snoring loudly. Several times Lee was obliged to remove heads, arms, and feet from various portions of his anatomy. He was just falling asleep again when the sound of a name, whispered almost in bis ear, startled him into instant wakefulness. Lee recognized the voice as that of the breed, Pierre Cauchon. For a moment or two he could not imagine from where the man was. speaking. Then he discovered that the’ voice came from the other side of the large, empty stove which stood at his head, a little out from the wall. His face and Pierre’s were ,separated, therefore, by no more than the cir cumference of the metal container, "though Pierre, of course, did not guess that Lee lay on the other side of it, nor that he would be likely to have any particular Interest In what he iWas saying. ^ But the name that had startled Lee into wakefulness was that of Pelly. His subconsciousness, alert through slumber, had caught it 'and communi cated the ^warning. Before Lee had quite attuned his ears te catch Pierre’s-remark, Shorty, the other man, broke in: “You fool, Pierre, you nearly-give the game away tonight fer shore. You ain’t got no sense 'at all, buttin' in like that and frightenin’ her away. You didn’t s’pose she’d got our photy- grafts in her pocket, did ya? The trouble with you. is you cain’t bold yer liquor. Pierre growled: “I didn't have no chanst to say a word before that four- flusher butted In. I wish I'd beat him up now. Mebbe I’ll git the chanst In the mornin’.” “Well, and why didn’t ya? I’ll tell ya why. Because ,you saw he ain’t no four-flusher. He’s tough, that fel ler is, an’ he was watchin’ ya like a cat.' Don’t ya make no mistake~about that And it’s lucky you didn’t’get no chanst to spill what ya was goto’ to, or you’d shore have scairt the girl away. • “You listen here,” he continued, “yoii keep out of this to-morrer till she’s gone, and then we c’nVride hard and ketch up with her at sundown and explain'that we’re friends of iiern.” Their voices became Ina1Tticulate. Lee strained-his ears to catch.the Im port of their convers'atiorf, but- lie could -hear nothing but the .low whis per of their voices.' " ■ ‘ "'\ “Well, I guess you’re bright, Shorty,” said Pierre after a wliils. “We ^of to see she don’t give us de slip) ,though.” Shorty snickered and. whispered something to which the "other ducked approval. • , ... “She cain’t, neither,” he said. “There’S only one way into the range, en’ when we got her there - we-got her jvhere we want her.” ' V - '-- No more was said, 'and soon the • snoring from the other .,side of the stove indicated that the pair had suc cumbed to sleep. ' But :all desire for sleep was banished, from Lee’s*rain. There was the- alternative of two courses o'f action : he could warn the girl In the morning, placing himself ••• her disposition ; dr he could keep Ii more or less In . sight during bis jo- ney the following day, with a view 10 / -- \ protecting her from the pair of ruf fians whenever they made their ap pearance. But he could not afford to take any action which would giv&- the clue to his status and activities; and apart from that, he wanted to keep in touch with the two men, in case they could furnish any clue to Felly’s where abouts—if he were alive. Sorme time early in the morning he fell into a restless slumber, from which he was partly aroused by the sound of a horse’s hoofs clattering in tlie yard. He wondered sleepily whether this was an early departure or some delated arrival, and then, turning over, managed to lose con sciousness for an hour or two Jonger. At last, when further sleep had be come impossible, Ife sat up, struck a match, and .looking at his watch, dis covered that it was nearly six o’clock. He threw his blankets over his-arm, stepped over the sprawling limbs of the sleepers, and went qnt to the1 stable where he watered his horse, afterward'klcklng his heels about the place until, in the first glimpse of the dawn, the squaw came shuffling Into the kitchen. . Lee went in... “Get me a,cup of cof fee and a piece of bread,”''he sai(J. putting a fifty-cent piece into her hand. “That’ll be enough for me. Pve got to be moving.”, ’ — The woman filled the kettlfe from a pail of water on the kitchen table. Lee asked: “You know that girl who came last night?” . “Me nbt know um,” the squaw grunted, as she set the kettle on the stove. . - “Don’t know what time she’s leav ing, I suppose?” “Girl um goner-- Gone . at four o'clock,” grunted the squaw. Lee whistled softly. That was her horse that he had heard, then. She was losing no time, wiiatev«fijier busi ness and destination might be. Lee fidgeted while the coffee came to the boil, and had just gulped down a’ cup ful and taken a few .bites at the bread aad butter which the woman gave him when the ’ landlord came sleepily in, and Uee took the opportunity of , set tling his bill.,- - ' * 1 “Well, you’re shore off early,” grumbled the fat proprietor. “Say, she beat you to it, though!” “Who is she?” Lee inquired. "Blamed ef I kntrfa. Nobody here-' abouts seems to know her. . But shucks, Little Palls ain’t more’n three or four year old! Guess she’s the gal of one of the old-timers back from school or college. Or she’ll be 'goin' up to the Moravian mission, like as not. Yes, sir, that shore must be it. She wouldn't-be goin’ to any of them hooch-runners up to Siston-lake.” 'That’s Kathway’s joint, Isn’t It?” - “So they say.” A cunning look came into his eyes. “I guess we ain-’t botherin’ our heads none about that Free Trader Outfit since they're there to stay. No, sir, it. don’t do to know too much about Captain Carcajou, now that the police is In with iiim.” - Lee almost betrayed himself as he" struggled not to display his indigna tion. -rYou mean the R. C.' M. P.’s been bought by that scum In Mont real?” he demanded. That’s what theytre sayin’ in these here parts. See here, stranger, ef that, ain’t so, why don’t they git after that Captain Carcajou as they calls him?1 You heerd what he did to that camp of Indians last summer? Shore! Well, I ain’t sayjn' nothin’ and I ain’t speak- in’ for meself, you understand. I’m only sayin’ tfh a f other folks Sayi Why, there’s two of Itathway’s gang in this hers hotel.” 'You mean the big breed and the red-headed man?” 'Shore-1 do.” The landlord winked at him. “Hooch-runners from Siston lake.” •What’re they, doing here?” asked L,ee. . . : ' .. “I guess they ain’t’ihere fer no good. That’s why I was -wishin’ you’d had the sand to stand up to ’em last night, boy!” ' force carries on the tradition of the old North-West; it does not return with out Its man.Siston lake was admirably adapted for the needs of the Free Traders. It was. at the extreme northern limits of the range, or a little beyond,' and the head of a lake and river system by which communication, could be had by water north to Fort Churchill or York Factory or west as far as' Lake Atha basca. The York boat, laden to the gunwale with supplies of liquor, could push anywhere along the thousands of lakes and stream's, acting as mother boat In turn to the canoe, with one OT more cases. And over all this v.l it, ill-de fined district the hooch-runner had almost unlimited sway, proving a serious rival to the legitimate trading interests, since he carried his poison into the Indian’s camping grounds and took his pick of the choicest furs. His trade embraced a viler one. AU along the fringe of white settlement it wa§ active. It had sprung up like a fungus overnight, during the disorgan ization of the police in consequence of the war and the readjustment. The gang were steadily embittering the re lations between whites and reds, which had been amicable almost since the advent of the first pioneer. Whichever district the girl was bound for, it was impossible to mis take the course that she would take initially. In front of Lee lay a long backbone of mountain, with only .a single pass _into the interior over a range of many miles. Scanning the valley carefully, Lee saw,’ about a mile beyond the pass, a thin curl of smoke rising into the still air. * Satisfied, that he had the girl In sight, Le^-hesitated for a while, un decided whether to ride up to her, or to camp where he was, keeping a Iook- out~for Pierre'and Shorty. In the end he decided that the better course would be to make himself known, and accordingly he descended the slope and followed the trail- along the bank of the river until he reached the camp. The girl had already set up her tent, her hors6 was tethered near the stream, and she was cooking her din ner nt a fire which she had made. She looked very trim and business- » CHAPTER III An Unwelcome Guardian Lee rode off hot with indignation at the landlord’s Innuendo about the R. CrRL-P. But this soon yielded to anxiety about the girl. The disclosure, that the two men were from Siston lake and the recollection of the con versation ,he hrid overheard, convinced him that they were planning to kid nap and’ponvey her there. ' Such a plan would seem inconceiv able but Lee knew that the gang, be lieving their orgaiiizajtoh firmly' en trenched in power, would stop at very little. Other things equally- sinister had been done by them. However, Lee began to breathe more freely. when he had left tW squalid little, town behind him.- -He walked or trotted his horse till noon,, gradually ascending toward ,the out-" skirts of the range_ through,1 a fairly open country. ' The snoxps might hold oft for two or three yeeks'yet, am| Lee .felt confident that well within that, period he would be able to. bring back Pelly, if the lat ter were.in the region, unless he took alarm, In which event of course Lee would have ^to bring his horse back to LiUIe i’alls and- prepare for a lone I winter’s chase. . The- new, dominion She Looked Very Trim and Business like With Her SIeeves Rolled Up to Her Elbows alfd H sr Air of Being Completely at Home In These Sur roundings. ” like with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows and her -air of being completely at home in these surroundings. As Lee jumped, from his horse she1 started, then looked at' him with an expression of calm which was an at tempt to conceal a very obvious trepi dation. - “Good evening,” 'Jie called. ‘Tm travelling your way,' and saw your camp fire, so. tpok the liberty of join ing you, if there’s no objection.” She stared hard at him as if his ad vent were some long expected blow that’ had suddenly fallen. For a few moments she seemed under ■ the in fluence of an all-possessing fear. Then mastering It, she , answered vrtth the same affectation of indifference: “You . can camp where you like, of course. The range is free for-all.” -Lee1' a little staggered at the unwil lingness of this invitation, ' decided that it would be better for the present not to alarm her with any explana tions ' and proceeded to pitch, his ^ent near hers. While he was unloading his pack and. watering his horse, the girl went on with her. meal, without paying; any attention to him. . Lee, feeling both uncomfortable and foolish, wag beginning to wish he had waited, when a horse neighed close at hand, - his horse and the girl’s answered, and a minute later Pierre Cauchonr and' his companion Shorty : rode into .view through the. gathering darkness. %- ■ v,.; ..Piece’s behavior at the sight of Lee was almost ludicrous. He pulled his .horse u£ short with an oath, “and sat looking from Lee to ,the girl in almost comical: surprise. Shocty, dismounting in a hurried manner, repeated his companion’s gestures. For several moments the light, of the camp fire siIEouetted the calm faces of the girl and Lee and the vindictive, scowling ones of the two men. Then Pierre leaped to the ground. “By gar, it’s d& feller dat tell me ‘dat’lirbe all’, ” he shouted. “What you t’ink you’re doing here, you d—n four- flusher?!S- • “Maybe the same as you,” said Lee,. “Ho, ho, dat’s good!” roared the breed. “You t’ink we take you in as pardner, hein?” . " , “Wouldn’t go with you. Tve got my own hand to play,” Lee answered. ” “You won’t play it here, then!” bel lowed Shorty. ^ , .Oaths poured from his lips. “Pack and vamose!” yelled Pierre. The two advanced on Lee with belligerent ges- ttfres/ Lee held up his hand as the, fists threatened him. "Didn’t I tell ^ou I don’t fight''" Jie drawled deceptively. “You don’ fight? By gar, you’re goin’ to fight dis'time or git!” yelled Pierre. “You ’fraid of gittin’ whipped; eh?” ‘•That’s about the size o f it,” laughed Lee. “That’s"''trhy I shoot in stead—quick and straight and sure, gentlemen!" ' His right hand made a movement In his coat pocket, but his automatic was In the holster at the back of, his hip, and there , was nothing in the pocket more lethal than his pipe. But Pierre, who was nearest, changed color. The man. was a cur at heart, as Lee had suspected. He leaped back with a snarl. Shorty stepped back, too, though not quite so violently, and the two, withdrawing out of range, proceeded' to hold a Whispered colloquy, at the end of which, turning away without another word to Lee, they proceeded to set up their camp at a . little "distance. Lee turned to the girl, who had stood a silent spectator o'f the scene, “I ought to have explained, per haps,” he said. “You recognized that man who insulted you last night A little later I happened, to overhear tlie pair of them speaking of a plan they had1 formed for intercepting you to night. I-didn’t want to alarm you, In case they failed to appear, but that is why I proposed to camp beside you. I think they are unscrupulous custom ers, and -you’ve probably reached 'the ' same decision after the scene that has just taken place.” “Thank you, but I assure ,you that I am quite capable of protecting my self,” answered the girl, and Lee saw her fingers stray toward a - service- size revolver holster at her belt. “Of course I don’t want to intrude," said Lee: “But as long as these men are here, I think I ought to remain.”. She took a'siep or two toward him, looking at him fixedly. "Who and what are you?” she demanded with quivering lips. “How am I to know that you are not those men’s friend, that this is not all part of an arranged plan?” “I am not a friend, or associate of those men,” answered-Lee Indignantly. “I 'never saw either of thejn until one of them insulted you in the hotel yes terday evening. I know that they are planning to do you some harm.” ' “Well, and—you?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady. “You !suspect me?” “I don’t know. I trust nobody. I ask you why you are here.” "My object in camping here beside you tonight is' simply to protect you,” Lee equivocated. She answered, with an, effort' at. irony. “And my, answer to you is that I do hot need protection, but that this country is free for all—for those men and for you,” ' She went back into her tent, leav ing Lee stupefied. The pair were al ready seated In front of their fire, munching slabs of bread and raw bacon. They had been watching Lee and the girl furtively throughout thev interview. Lee wondered whether the girl's demeanor had given them any Inkling of its termination. -He had never felt so foolish. If they persuaded her that they were more to be trusted,'the situation would be'a serious one for her. Lee’s position was certainly far more em barrassing. than "he had anticipated. It was aTmost as if the girl had de cided to throw in her lot with the pair of Free Trader agents. He- had not succeeded-in convincing her that their motives were evil, perhaps because he bad not ventured to voice his real sus picions of; them tio her. And he had only succeeded in arousing her hos tility. , . ■ ' And, looking .at vthe' matter in a common-sense light, Lee realized that he had acte.d wrongly. He should have warned ,her on his first arrival. He could not blame her for refusing to accept his word., ' , But what- wag at the bottom of her evident fear of him? ' ' - s The only thing IeJt for him to do was to try to protect her in spite of herself. • ' t ' The friendly forest had suddenly- grown- hateful and alien. 'And then Lee knew what the trouble was. It was. the submerged memories of Es telle. She meant nothing tVhim noty, less,than nothing; and yet—well, that had been years ago, and he had 'gone' through all that. Still, the imprint was therie— . Suddenly, as on the night before* He' was' startled by the low sound of voices. . Peering ‘across the grass, he conld. just distinguish the shadowy oufllnes of two figures against the men’s fire. I. Very deliberately Lee drew his auto matic from his belt lHe had no-doubt thjit Pierre and Sbort^ were planning mischief; most probably they meant to attack him as a preliminary to over powering the girl. 'And he lay ■ watching them and grimly waiting for their stealthy onset He felt more than a match for tile pair of them.Minutes went by, however. The pair seemed an unconscionable time mak ing their arrangements, and ail the while the discussion, which was just, audible without being intelligible^ went on. Lee wondered how long he had been lying there. It was too dark to see his watch. He wondered why they had not- waited till morning, when there would be a better chance of taking him unawares. At last the black shadows separated. Onfe_of them was coining toward' him with stealthy footsteps. Lee,guessed that It was Shorty, the more courage-, ous of the two. . . The figure- came slowly on: Lee aimed the automatic, his finger stead ied on the trigger. He would tire'as goon as it made the first hostile move ment, as soon as it raised its. weapon to cover- him. ' And then, in amazement, he let the muzzle of his automatic drop. For the figure was not coming toward him, it was-going toward the girl’s tent. ..-And It was the girl herself! Had she then some secret ,under standing with the two ruffians, and had the episode of the evening at the hotel been a performance staged for some particular purpose? That might almost have appeared credible, but for the conversation that Lee had overheard beside the istove. In the light of that, Lee had to dis miss . the credibility of his smrnise. Thfe only possible /explanation at whicn he could arrive was that they girl had gone to the confederates wltiF his own story, had taxed them,-and, of course had been persuaded that his tale was false. Probably they had convinced her that they were friends, and that he had designs upon her. Mystified and humiliated; Lee went to sleep at last with his ears attuned for any unexpected sound or move ment and the automatic within his immediate grasp. Long practice with prisoners whom he - had brought single-handed out of tlie wilds, had given him the faculty, of sleeping in as complete watchfulness as a wild animal; no enemy could surprise hloT while he dozed. , But there was no need for these precautions for nothing disturbed him, and it was the sun, blinking on the edge of the horizon, that awakened him the next morning. The girl was already, cooking her breakfast -outside her tent when, he emerged, and she returned his saluta tion with a stiff , little bow, keeping her face averted., v Lee attended to his horse and then prepared his breakfast. He had fin ished 'before Pierre and Shorty came on the scene. They looked as if they had been drinking heavily the night before, but they made no movement toward either him or the girl until the horses were loaded and ready to start, the girl briefly declining Lee’s assist ance and handling her own gear like an expert. Then Shorty came up to Lee. “See here, pardner, what’s the great idea?”.he asked, ii) a tone that was meant to be conciliatory. “My jart- ner and me was wonderin’ if we couldn’t fix up this little- misunder standing I guess you’re barktn’ np, the wrong treev ain’t you?” • "Meaning?” “Meaning as how my pardner and me-don’t mean no harm to" this young lady. -We’re on a prospectin’ trip, and nacherally we don’t want no outsiders buttin’ In-on our property.” “How about this lady?” . “Now, pardner, you got thlngs.\slzed up- wrong, I tell you.

History of Co-Operation. Xhe history of agricultural co-opera tion in the Vnited States runs bacff to Hie Ovil war, JThe first cheese fac tory .tvas established in ISGH,. and the jirsi orirmiization of fruit arid vege table growers in 18S7. Two organiza tions of grain growers were formed In 1SS7, followed in 1S90 by an organisa tion of live stock raisers. The move ment developed slowly and over a long period of years while these and other pioneers were putting their theories into actual practice. Other associa tions vere established and the prin ciples of sound co-operative methods were demonstrated until in 1900 there were several thousand farmers’ or ganizations in existence. Tire movement was givea.great im- peitis during the next 20. years. By 15(15 numerous grain organizations had been formed and each year saw an tore,ISinj number of grain growers Kmiling together to market their com modity. Live stock organizations were also formed -in increasing numbers during the next 15 years, until in 1920 the peak of the movement in all ,com modities was reached.' More than SOO organizations now in existence and reporting to the * department were formed in JOlO; in 1P20 there were es tablished 973 associations now func tioning, and in 1921 there were or ganized '76 associations. The years 1921-23 saw the formation of state wide cotton and tobacco organizations. Number of Organizations. The total number^ of farmers' or ganizations in the' United States is sow in excess of 12,000 with a mem bership of about 2,000,000 farmers, and doing an annual business of more than ¥2,500,000,000. Seventy per cent of all the associations are in the i2 North Central states, which states include the great corn and whei.t producing areas. Sis per cent of the organizations are in the three Pacific Coast states. ' There has been an increase of nearly 200 per cent in the number of asso ciations since 1015, a Ucording to the : department’s record; the membership I has increased. 300 per cent, and the estimated amount ot business has in- I creased 200 per cent as measured In dollars. The local associations were the first Iiisiorically and are still the most nu merous. the department says. They I are created by farmers of a single I community to perform services which can well he performed near the pro^ ilocrag areas. Primarily these func- I dons are assembling farm products and preparing them for market. Aliout fifty federations of local or ganizations are reported as now func- 1 tlwiIng in Hie United States. These j federations determine policies regard- j Ing standardization of products' and the preparation of products for enter ing the channels of trade. They usu- I shy develop and handle the advertis- I ing and selling campaigns, and all inat- fers of transportation and legal af- I fairs. The centralized or state-wide asso- I cinfion which combines the functions j°f the local and the federation has f eome into prominence during the past I "Te years. There are now about fifty I Wgaiiixations of this type operating I tnmiigiinut the country, including fif- Ih^n l ll^e CBtton associations, seven Joig tohacon associations, and nuraer- Ious Slalc-Wiile associations handling I "'her commodities. .......'............. Error to Reduce Clover A creage in the Spring When the price /of common red clover seed is high the acreage-seeded in the spring is usually cut down. Some farmers'figure that they can af ford to pay only so 11 HseIi for clover seed, and when that limit in price Is vSxceeded many sow timothy alone. Un doubtedly there is a limit to the price a man can afford to .pay for clover seed, at the same time one should not lose sight of the fact that timothy hay is a very poor substitute for clover. It is not worth one-half as much per ton for feeding’ purposes as is clover or any other good legume hay. Many make a mistake when they reduce their clover acreage for no other reason than the price of the seed. Alsike clover seed is not as high in price this year as red clover seed..

Of 48 farmers whose litters made a ton or more of pork in 180 days, not one had a scrub Iitteri In commenting ;on this result in a let-, ter to the United States Department of Agriculture, H. G.,Zavoral, live stock specialist"'of Minnesota,, re marked : “The ton-littpr contest demon strated the value of well bred pigs for pork production. . It showed that pure bred hogs are more highly developed machines to convert farm feeds into pork.” . ' Another advantage which ,Mr. Za- voral pointed out, in the interests of live stock improvement, is the earlier maturity of well bred stock. Most of the pigs In the litters that made the ton were ready for the market in from 5 to 5% months. The shorter. time lessens the risk JJtom • disease. -More than that, pigs crowded for the early market bring a higher price, on the average, than those marketed late when tlie markets are flooded. The weights of the successful Utters ranged from-2,008 to 3,102 pounds, witli an average of 2,335.4 pounds. The average number of pigs In the litters “making the ton” was 10.8 and their average weight was 215.9 pounds. R ates A re Reduced on All Pure Bred Stock Freight, rates on pure bred live stock have been reduced 50 per cent by the principal railroads of' the Northwest when certificates of registration are attached to the bills of lading. In case of delay in the receipt of such certifi cates, freight agents have been in structed to accept in lieu thereof a let ter from the breed association’s secre tary acknowledging the receipt of ap plication and giving assurance that registration papers will be issued. It is important to remember that the re duced rate is in effect only for less than carload lots. For shipments ex ceeding 8,000 pounds the cost would probably be less if the , regular carload rate was made to apply.

In order to secure the liigh production expected of our flocks today, we are calling upon them to digest food more rapidly and more efficiently To make this possible some of the feed must be ground, and a high or economical production cannot be secured ‘ unless this is done. It is still necessary, how ever, to give some unground grains to induce exercise and maintain the; bird’s appetite. Exercise and appetite are .necessary to health and produc tion. Let us-keep In mind, then, that we are to feed a masli of such a na ture and in such a manner that-the maximum of e&gs can be produced, and feed the grains in a way which will provide the greatest inducement -for exercise. Ground feed may be fed in a trough or hopper to keep it clean and to save labor, but the value of grain is largely lost when it is made easily accessible on the’ bafSvflOor or ground. Six to eight inches of dry, clean litter should be maintained on the floor and the grain buried in this both winter and summer. About 20 per cent of the grain mixture can consist of feeds like oats, barley, cane, or millet, which are more slowly eaten, lengthening the scratching period and providing a gauge as to whether too much or too Jittle is being fed. A change from day to day In what Is fed will upset the bird's digestive system. This is oftefi done to stimu late her appetite, but a much safer means is the giving of a. good variety every ,day. There should be a mini mum of three grains in the scratch feed and foreign Ingredients to the mash, accompanied by a supply of meat, minerals and green feed. A small flock benefits very much from table scraps in providing variety —0. C. Krum, Poultry Specialist, Colorado Agricultural Coll.ege.

What made him think the case was a hopeless one, was that he had pnt some of the round worms in gasoline and they lived over nine hours. However, the remaining birds were treated with tobacco dust for round worms and concentrated 4i'e f o r tapeworms, and the hens were cured. ■/ mrmwr^in TC!,Liin.nn-.il inn Winter is the farmer’s reading time. * ' * * « Eggs over two weeks old do not hatch well. *.' * * • A good cat Is a cheap form of in surance against rats and mice. * * * Time-now to order some shrubbery and trees for beautifying the home place.

In the treatment of scaly leg it is ad vised to smear the-roosts with crude petroleum as a precautionary measure to prevent further spread of the dis ease. The infested birds should be isolated and have their legs washed with soap and warm water, removing all loose scales. Dry the legs and ap ply a n ointment .made by mixing oil of caraway one part with five parts of vaseline. If large numbers are af fected make a mixture of one-half pint of kerosene and one pint of raw lin seed oil in a quart can and dip the legs in this solution at night and set the fowls on the roost.

It came, it saw, it con quered, it remained—and now it is triumphing in spring' fashions from one ocean to another and developed in no end of ways. The displays include ensembles in plain, tailored types, in sports models, and formal types, and all or these are varied to suit the years Cf their wearers.. For younger women printed silks In figured and striped patterns, made up with plain woolen materials, are Used for suits in which flie coat is of the wool fabric and the dress of silk. ' The lining of the coat matches the dress and very often the coat material is •used in bandings on the dress. But parent—never*would the Sixpence pay for so much, so far hs good style is concerned, as it will right now. It is amazing Bow good-looking the new In expensive frock? and coats contrive to be, and It is good business to take care of one’s needs as early as possible, for lt/nearly always happens that the de signers'turn out their best work first It Is Important to begin with street clotlies when an outfit is to be ac quired, and to buy as good quality as can be afforded. Street clothes must stand wear and in them we make a first impression on the people we meet in the everyday affairs of life. The coat and the tailored hat and dress, the walking shoes and street gloves! de- l i Two Striking Examples. sometimes a one-piece dress is made by combining the caat material with, figured or striped silk.

In this frock the three-quarter length coat fs Fined with a printed silk and this same silk makes the smart overblouse, seen at the right of the picture, over* a plain skirt. • In ensemble suits; of printed silks forj-ounger .women the new high shades,in figured silks make wonder ful combinations with plain wo®l ma terials, and the model pictured shows the coat faced back as weft as lined with silk like that In the blouse." , Another variation of the. blouse and Itirt Idea for an /nsembie shows a serve all the consideration that can be ■given them. ■' ; Starting oyt AyIth the coat, the new season has brought in a variety of handsome models for general wear. Sfiraigbt lines and • rather' light • shades and'neutral colprs^jSre emphasized In them, but there’is a good representa tion of the darker browns along with many light. brown, beige, tan, dark blue, medium green and wood colors. The double-breast front is graceful and a great favorite. Both the ^set- in and modified raglan sleeves are dsed and an absence of trimming is a mark of distinction; for it is to be kept in mind that fashion sponsors simplicity In utility coats.

Some money and. what there is of them, some roads! There is much interest in North Carolina’s highway system, but a great deal more 'n "highway district roads ” For this reason the following facts taken from the' records- of the Se venth Highway district, of highway construction and maintenance should constitute an interesting story for the people of the territory.. Accordingtoastatem ent prepar ed by Engineer C S Currier, cover ing the work of the district to Jan uary I. 1925, there are in the ten counties of the district 741 3 miles of road being maintained by the State Highway Commission as fol lows: Alleghany, 48 2; Ashe. 52.6 ; Cald well, 73.7; Davie, 53,7; Forsyth. 98.8; Watauga, 73 5; Surrv. 79.8; Wilkes, 123.1; Stokes, 74 8; Yadkin, 63.7 The record of completion -hard- surface and surface-treated roads by counties to date, with the mil eage, runs from zero in Stokes coun- to 38 37 miles in Forsyth. 11 35 of this amount having been construct ed by the State hut paid for by the county. The figures follow: Alle ghany 19 62 ; Ashe 6 78; Caldwell 5,00; Davie Iv 53; Fftrsvth 38 37; Stokes 0; Surrv 7 25; Watauga 4 00; Wilkes 13 47; Yuikin 10 15 In ad dition to this record of completed projects, under cnnTar.t—10 54 miles in burry and 13 39 in Yadkin, making a total of 118 37 miles of roads actual Iv completed and 23 93 under con tract, a grand total of 142 30 rniles in the Seventh District. There are two ntherrnads in the distrct that are know n as ‘-Oil Titatifi" roads, one in Caldwell county 8 4 miles in Iergih. and one ten miles in length. 5 5 in Surry and 6.5 in Wilkes These biI roads con structed by the iaver method, have been closeb studhd during the past few months when the top soil roads generally have given away. These oil roads have held up to such an ex tent, it is understood that at the re cent meeting of the State engineers it was decided to proceed to the con stiuction of several hundreds of miles of this type of road during the next few months One of the ex perts of the highway department de clared the road to be "highly satis- fai t >ry ” The ordinary top soil r ad can be treated with this oil-a - phalt composition at a cost of about $2 000 per mile. Three lawyers of sand and oil are usually required to complete the road. Tne road isnow passing out of the experiment class and promises to the people of the S'at-- unusual possibi i ies. especially in the matter of the,construction of “ vf-ar round secondary highways ” —Ex.
