NORTH-CAROLINA', WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1925.* -• NUMBER 13 A Witness Who Came Back. The witness under cross-exami­ nation in Wake court, who retort ed with the short and ugly word, with an emphasis in front of -it, when asked a question impeaching his character, may have been out ot order as the court insisted, but at that he did only what' an innu­ merable host of witnesses who have cone before have wanted to do, what another innumerable hos.t not witnes-es have wanted to hear from persecuted witnesses; and thete are others who have felt on occasion that the reloit should have an of­ fensive accompaniment that would send somebody to the hospital. And the Wake county witness comes off more than victor iu that he said it and got away with it, de­ lving the court to send hint to jail. Of course it is admittedly neces­ sary on occasion for lawyers to say verv disagreeable things to witness­ es—necessary to get the whole truth and sometimes to show up the witness for what he really is and thus discredit his testimony. Hut any '■ layman who has taken close observation of cross-examina­ tion has found ample evidence to sii-iain the view that many aggra­ vating and humiliating questions are asked a witness for no purpose except to make him mad and thus destroy lfisdestimpuy by confusing him. In other-words witnesses are frequently outrageously insulted not iu the interest of truth but to destroy the force of tlieir testimony. The judge nearly always sides with the lawyer, having been a practt tioLer himself, and the witness is helpless while he writhes in . anger under wanton insults. Therefore the layman may be excused if he applauds the Wake county wit­ ness, eveu without knowing wlieth er the lawyer was entirely blame- able on the witness blameless.— Statesville Dailv. Hat Smasher Works Will. In some of the big cities the straw top-piece is taboo on and after September 15. if the date is correctly recalled, and those who take op the job of enforcing the unwritten law go out and lay viol­ ent hands otr all straw headgear cjtiiitig their way. It was related iu the papers the other day that one who had assigned himself that job iu Philadelphia had captured and destroyed, by poking his fist through them, a dozen or more headpieces of the straw variety be fore he was arrested. When he was fined $10 in court he said it was worth the money. It isn’t re corded that even one of the luck less owners of the headgear that was the subject of attack so much as attempted to poke his fist in tlie face of the face of the self-appoint ed regulator of the self appointed Regulator of the season’s styles, or attempted to poke his fist in the face of the season's styles, or at­ tempted to secure a brick or a club to smash that hat and head of the s nasber.

' When the Raleigh city schools opened a few days ago. there was report of crowded conditions in at /least one school building that stag­ gered behalf. Anyway, it was con­ sidered too bad to go on an they are trying to do something about it. Later publication explains the trouble. “Those schools which are considered socially elite,” says the esteemed News and Observer, are crowded bevond the limit, while others attended iu the main by the children of those not considered of the “socially elite,” have room to spare. The school board would re­ district the city and thus compel an apportionment that would releive the over-crowding in some schools. Seenis sensible, but one gathers from the reading- of the proceeding that the attempt to force children of the “socially elite” into, school rooms witn children of the middle class or the proletariat will, it is feared, result in a social upheaval, revolution, or something like that. Inm any instances,” ,it is said, children go right by one school to attend another that is crowded.’ Which is evidence that the off spring of those who consider them selves the “socially elite” of the capital city, either of lhier own school, regardless of the wishes or regulations of the school authori­ ties. the selection being based 011 class distinctions. In fact it is re­ corded by the veracious News and Observer chronicler that the school board, in its efforts to effect an equitable distribution of the pupils, expected “opposition from' parents who consider that their children would be ‘contaminated’ by at­ tending the same school with child­ ren from the mill district." If you ask us. parents from the “ mill dis­ tricts” have cause for concern if their children are forced to attend lie same school with the children of snobs. Sometimes the offspring o f' snobs have better sense than their parents, no matter how hum ble his position, may well dread the association of his’children with chrildren trained in the ways of snobbery. Children from the homes of the “ higher ups” can learn much of the value -by association with those from humble homes, but the latter will learn nothing good, and much that will result in evil, by assoqation with chilten who are'taught to look down upon those in an humbler station in life.

The Way Of Youth In Harnett county a youth and a- girl of 15—the latter school—elop­ ed and got married. Then they returned for the pareatal blessing. The mother of the bride took poss­ ession of her daughter and sent the young husband about his busiuess. The bride was taken to Virginia but the young husband followed and sought the husband followed sought the'aid of the courts. He failed. The girl bride, uuder par­ ental influence, was moved to say that she didn’t care to go with him. Later the bride returned to her North Carolina home. The young husbaud resumed negotiations and was so persistent that IiC finally won—his wife running aw try with him. Not only that, but they took along a sister of the bride, on mat­ rimony bent, and there was second marriage in the South to the south of us. AU of which is evidence that when the young folks are bitten by the iiiatamonial bug, when the in­ fection really takes hold, parents iiud guardians had about as well throw up their hands. They can advise and counsel, as is their duty and they no doubt feel many limes —as the Harnett mother, of the 15- year-old felt—that drastic measures are warranted. But the drastic re­ medies usually drive the young folks to desperates measures. It is the tragedy of youth that it so of­ ten refuses to be guided by the ex- oeriefic^of elders.- But it is neces sarry for youth to make the.same experiments, and necessarily the same errors, as the youths that have gone betorfe ,The experience is of value if there isn’t a mistake that cripples or handicaps through life. That is the constant worry of the elders-j-that youth will be a handicap for all time, if it does not utterly destry. But the childred of men have tried out these matters for themselves from the beginning, and they will continue to do so to the end. If they are.detirmined on a course of action they wouldn’t believe though one rosfe from the dead. And fortuuate are they if they-are only btuised, or at least, not permanently crippled, by their errors. Only their own experience will seriously impress as a rule.

Gabriel was in, town last Tuesday afternoon carrying with him the wire frame of one of the first spider-legged lanterns made for and used by the old Richmond and Danville Railroad Company. The lanterns burned only sperm oil and when that could not be obtained by Mr. Gabriel he took the lamp from the frame and kept.ttie frame until Tuesday, when he sent 'it to Engineer Ed. Fry. of the-- Asheville division, who apperates a freight eri gine from - A- heville to Charlotte through Mooresville. .There is a bit of interesting history concerning the lantern. It was the one' used by Fireman Warren Fry. who was kill­ ed thirty-four years ago on the 26th of last August at Bostian Bridge wreck'' Mr Gatriel took possession of the lantern ae the wreck and held it as a-keep sake, until recently he was told that Ed. Fry, a brother" of the dead fireman, wanted it. He very graciously tendered the fame to Mr. Fry, who will keep it as a {pmijy .

Of course,r explanation for the good crops id the valley lands of the mountains is easy. Moisture is stor ed in, the valleys and the grawing crops get the benefit of it. Bnt now about the fine crops that are seen here and there on the uplands anti hillside!,? AU through Cleveland;" Gastonia. Catawba, Iredell, Burlu, Mfilkes and other counties in pied- hiont and mountain districts green fields are to be seep, indicating"" im munity to ti large extent from the drought What keep these crops- green? Perhaps the explanation given in The Yorkville Enquirer by a farmer living in th-i Van-Wyclt section applies to the greenery seen amidst the dryness on many farm in this section, The Van Wyck man is talking about fhc farm of W. N. Ashe. This farm has been practi­ cally without rain for'montli3. Yet. writes the Et quirer’s correspond­ ent, “his corn is fresh and green and it can be said with truth .that that two ears to the stalk is a fair average for the greater portion of it. His cotton is waist high and some of it higher. Ithasa healthy green appearance. Neither has- ii all opened and popped out, as in the case with thousand of acres over the piedinoud sections of the Carolinas. Many of the healthy Iouoking hol s have uot openedl.at all,yet and it is still growing. Kick the soil any­ where for k depth of three insjnjs, and you’ll strike moisture and lots of it, about as much moisture as vou find in the average soil shortly after a pretty heavy rain."’ This condition, it is to be remem­ bered, is on an upland farm, ,.arid, the agency responsible for the splen­ did situation is said to be burrciover. ■-Mr. Aslie has not only put all'avail- able land cultivated by himself in burr clover, but “he has required his tenants to do likewise. Is is related that near the Ashe farm is a spot laid off for a garden, ^ttd vegetables are growing giee.i in that garden today. String beaiis of farmers who are not impressed with the value of Durr clover have long since parched under the- withering rays of these hot suns So have cabbage—even tomatoes. Not so here. The beans are growing right along, Experi rneiits are being made here witfi" the cultivation of asparagus this year and the prospect is good Under it all is burr clover or rather humus, that brownish material formed by the partial decotnposilioti of the clover which absorbs moisture and amonia from the air and- is a most important constituent of the soil, es­ pecially now when the rains do not descend and there is not and lias not heen any sign of fl >od or anything approaching, for weeks and weeks ” The Observer thinks it best to give the farmers information than advice. Mr. Ashe discoved the vir­ tues in clover twelve years ago and he has been building up his farm in the light of his discovery. He has demonstrated thb fact that it is pos­ sible to "farm against the drought,!' and lie is now passing out an idea by which the farmers in this part of the south may reap future profit. <* 'I* 'I1 'I* »:■ »1» -I’ ft »!■ iji .Ti fr fr fr fr »> fr ft f t f t ft ft ft ft »1» ft f t ft 'I* 'I* ft ft ft 1P 7 Sbfriff Watching Uif : ' MqcksitiHe is said to be short of The only thing harder than two watermelons watermelons. carry three It's no trouble to'get a boy to take a bath.

The Center Community Fair war held at old Center catnpgrouno four miles west of Mocksville on Wednesdav of last week was a big success. The crowd numbered a bout 1500, and all went away feel­ ing that Davie county was 'he best county iu North Carolina. It is impossible for us to give a list of all the winners of premiums in this Mile Hardware Co., and C. J. An- gell attracted much attention. This is by far the largest and best com­ munity fair ever held in Davie county. The exhibits were much larger and better than a year ago and the crowd was much larger. It is hoped that the county can put on a fair at Mocksville next year, that will run two or three days. The promoters of the Center fair issue of The Record, as our space! c^e erve ,micb credit for the goc.d is too limited.

Bui justice seems to be blind, deaf and dumb and to be afflicted with every disease known to the human race. It is mighty easy to convict s poor devil who iu a fit of passion, slays a promiuent nan—a man who has pleuty of money and much influ­ ence. But 011 the other, hand it i- so uetime mighty hard to convict a wealthy citizen when he runs afoui and kills a poor devil who has but few friends and no money. If you don't believe we are ri_ht watch the courts for a while. Morey is a mighiy factor 111 this old woild. There aie lots of things that Ilu ordinary man doesn’t know much about. Among them might be mentioned the verdict that a jur\ is going to render and the price of cotton futures. Nearly every one who figured on the price of cotton had it fixed in their minds that when the last September govern­ ment report was made public the price would go to to or rr cents pound for seed cotton. It was thought of course that this report would show a big decrease iu the total number of estimated decrease your Uncle Sam added over a qaart- er of a million bales to Irs previous estimate, and the price slumped in stead of going up. There may be fourteen million bales of grown this year but many -people have seriour doubts about the matter. i'The Center Community Fail lield last week was one of the big­ gest and best fairs ever held in -Davie county. Such an event is Worth more the county thau dollars and cents. It makes better farm­ ing conditions possible, better cat­ tle, poultry, sheep, hogs, more auo better crops of all kinds, but best of all it makes better men ano women, boys and girls. It briug the people closer together aud gets them to working and building up a better community spirit. While the fair lasted but one day the effects will live for years iu the minds and hearts of those who took part in it. The entire couuty wil. be benefitted by the recent fair Those wUo did not attend missed a treat. tie, poultry, hogs, sheep, rabbits, dogs, horses, etc., was fii.e. The poultry exhibit was equal to that at many larger fairs The crop exhibits were numerous, almost every article grown on the farm b - .* ing on exhibition. The tobacco, cotton, corn, wheat, fruits and vegetables ail deserve special men tion. One of the most impressive exhibits was put 011 by Lattie Rat- ledge. His collection of 25 ai tides, ill over 100 years old, was well worth looicing over.

Perhaps he won’t be able to answer— he may not know. Ask dad if he knows that somewhere in the country a schoolhouse bums every day. Ask him if he knows that one-third of all the schoolhouses in the country are nothing better than firetraps—maybe your school is one of them. Of course dad knows that buildings can be built that will not bum. They are being built everywhere, every day. If your school is firesafe, you’re lucky.

Infants Quaintly Dressed The broad-beamed Dutch children are carried about on the arm and hip, much as American babies are. They are dressed In garments cut out in the saind patterns as those of their parents, but when all are put on ex­ cept the outer robe, they are folded over the feet and laced across iike the Italian bambino. These babies invari­ ably wear caps, some of them heavily wadded to prevent serious harm re­ sulting from a fall. The babies of Markaan and of VolIemdam are really curious sights in their quaint caps. Home Stayers You can appreciate the great change in the.

SUITS OF LAVISH RICHNESS; REGARDING HER FALL SHOES C\UTSIDE the realm of sports wear. not a great deal of attention is centered on the two-piece, tailbred suit at present. It goes without saying that it is among those present in the displays of fail apparel, but it has not been pushed into the limelight.as yet The ensemble suit, the coat dress and the two-piece dress have made some inroads on the popularity of suits and the demand is greater for dresses and separate coats than for any other garments, just now. Never­ theless, she who wants a tailored suit, either for general utility wear or in a more formal type, may find just what she wants In any representative dis­ play. Utility suits may be quickly dis­ posed of as to their style features. Twills and mannish mixtures are the more good-looking. Overshoes, gaiters and spats are depended upon to de­ fend one against cold or wet and are more satisfactory than heavy shoes. Kid is the favorite leather—In fact it is the foundation of the mode and many other leathers and- shoe fab­ rics are combined with it, as patent leather, lizard dkin and alligator. The shoes which evidently meet the ap­ proval of the lady pictured here are made., of black kid with heels and strap of patent leather. Styles for the street are very sim­ ple with pumps and oxfords to the fore along with strapped models. By way of garniture, buckles,, small pearl buttons and endlessly varied straps are relied upon, supplemented by com­ binations of two colors in kid or two leathers. Black, golden brown, "an- A CONTRIBUTION FROM PARIS fabrics used for them, the twills shown in navy blue; with rather long coats, severe lines, notched collars and skirts in which inverted plaits dis­ guise the added fullness. Tweeds are made up In much the same way, and these excellent interpretations of the tailored mode may be worn with as­ surance—they. are good style and taken as a matter of course. But now Paris considers the case of the tailored suit, in connection with the introduction of broadcloth and velveteen into winter fashions and the trend toward richness In winter apparel. Beautifur broadcloth suits are emerging over the horizon of fash- tumn blond” and other brown shades are favorites. Much ingenuity is lav-; Ished on the management of straps; heels are only moderately high and toes rounded. Afternoon footwear takes on some­ what more elaboration In combina­ tions of colors and materials and the use of buckles or small ribbon bow3. But the trend of style for daytime, wear is in the direction of simplicity. The story of evening footwear is something else again-.it is a fairy tale of fairy footwear In many colors and embellished in many different ways; jeweled buckles and heels, painted butterflies, rosettes of tulle t 'S* p -p i ion, lavishly trimmed with rich gal­ loons and sumptuous furs and worn with blouses of gold metal fabrics. No one takes them for granted, for they are impressive and calculated to fill us with curiosity as to what will happen next when velveteen is used as a medium by the French. The chances are that new arrivals, Uke that pic­ tured here, will find themselves dis­ tinguished beyond any of their rivals in the tailored mode- From the angle of style, footwear grows In importance all the time and fashionable feet are getting about as much attention as fashion­ able heads this fall. - The average woman must consider, distinct types In purchasing her footwear—shoes for the street, for sports and for after­ noon and evening wear find place In the regulation outfit Their varieties are inexhaustible, but their outstand­ ing style features are easily summed up. To begin with, high shoes—except for special uses—are not in the run­ ning, or the walking either; oxfords, pumps and slippers fill the require­ ments of women today and for or­ dinary wear have replaced other styles. Shoes, like all other apparel, grow more light in weight, more “fin­ ished" and subtle, and, of course, MUCH TO ADMIRE IN SHOES find a place on light-colored kid shoes In blue, green red, orchid and—leading all—blond tones. Nevertheless, the conservative follower of fashion may content herself with a pair of plain kid slippers in blond or white, adding colored enameled buckles, tulle ro settes or - rhinestone ornaments 1- mateli her costume. Many irreproach­ able authorities choose fodtwear of the simplest type for evening as well as daytime wear. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©.1335, W uKrn Newspaper Union.)

'> Desserts are an important feature in every dinner, in most families. For those who enjoy, and never prepare them, it wljl be Iiard to understand the amount of time it takes to prepare even simple des­ serts. Banana Liemon Whip. — Boil to­ gether two cupfuls of sugar, two cup­ fuls of water and the grated yellow rind of a lemon; when it hairs add one-half package of gelatin which has been softened in cold water. Stir until dissolved, then add the sifted jpulp of four ripe bananas mixed with the juice of two lemons. Pour all into a large bowl to cool, and when the edges begin to harden bent the -mix­ ture with a large-sized egg beater, continuing to beat until the whole is creamy, then it may be poured into a mold and chilled. Baked Indian Pudding.—Take three- fourths of a cupful of oornmeal, scald with a cupful of boiling water and stir into a quart of scalding milk; cook until boiling, add one-half cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of raisins, a little salt, two well-beaten eggs and a cupful of chopped suet, a teaspoon­ ful of grated nutmeg, three table- spoonfuls of molasses and . more sugar if neede^.

An ear dr two of cooked green corn is an ‘addition to any potato salad. Cut the corn from the ear and mix well with the potato. COST OF RATION IS BIGGEST ITEM A very important fjtetor. in any ra­ tion is the matter of'cost. The bes^, ration is one that will give the largest returns, cost considered. This does not mean the largest returns or the cheapest ration. The biggest income may be secured from a ration -that' Is so high in price that it is imprac­ ticable to use, while the cheapest ra­ tion might bring about such low pro­ duction as to make It unprofitable. From the farm poultryman’s stand­ point the question or feeding is large­ ly a question of economically supple­ menting, the home-groyo feeds. Two general types of feeds come under this classification; Those that/ are Sup- plled to the fowls and those the fowls pick up by ranging oyer the farm. In the majority of cases there are two problems: One, the supplying of protein • or flesh-forming foods, and the other of giving the proper, variety to the ration. This Is more particu­ larly true when the fowls are confined than when-they are picking up consid­ erable of their feed by foraging over the farm. When foraging they eat more scratch feed and less mash than will properly balance up their ration if they are allowed to choose as they may. Therefore, they must be encour­ aged to eat the mash by making it as attractive as possible and also by lim­ iting the amount of the scratch feeds which are supplied-,* especially during the morning feeds. The cost of the ration is the biggest item of expense In poultry produc­ tion. Tlie greatest opportunity for « saving lies in the feeding. The big item that the majority of people need to pay more attention to Is that of balancing up the food by the use of some of the animal proteins and sup­ plying additional variety. Too much scratch grain and not enough mash to properly. balance the ration is the mistake made by many flock owners. Market AU Fowls That Molt Early in Autumn “Most hens stop laying when they begin to molt,” says E. L. Dakan of the poultry department at Ohio State university. “A hen must be a con­ sistent layer to make a high record, and an early molting hen is not a con­ sistent layer. “The time of the molt is the best indication of the past year’s perform­ ance. This rule can be used In culling all breeds and varieties, but is of spe­ cial importance with such breeds as the Orpingtons and Minorcas that do not have the yellow skin. "The hen that molts early, under normal conditions, will not lay as many winter eggs as the hen that molts late. Neither will,she begin egg production earlier in the spring. No definite date can be set as to early molt, but as a general'rule the first hens in the flock to molt should be sold, and the last to molt should be kept for breeding purposes. “Hens may be thrown Into an early molt by starving while laying heavily, by irregular feeding, by roosting in a house that is poorly ventilated, or by anything which tends to check egg production.” M PEHEl “la children’s ills, & hmh. sickening physic* often mafe* matters worse by lowerinff th! child’s resistance.'* 6 — P R - CALD1VygIjt [LAST TWO COMPARTMEi SHIP FOUND FULL OF W/f THEY NEVER HAD CHAl V a- CALDWELL AT THB AOS OF 83 Mother!

While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” every day or two was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which regulates the bowels. A single dose will estab­ lish natural, healthy bowel movement for weeks at a time, even If the child was chronically constipated.

Fattening on Range Some feeders have tried confining the turkeys while they are being fat­ tened, but with little success. When confined to a pgn, they may eat heart­ ily for a few days but afterwards lose their appetites and then begin to lose flesh.

TJ- S. Submarine Base, New London, Conn.—The struggle with the great bulk of the submarine S-51 still wap on, four days after she was sent to the ocean's bed when she was ram­ med by the City of Rome. Two bodies were brought up from the sea the first of the 33 men who went down with her that the undersea craft had given up. Found by deep sea divers who crawled through the tangled mass of wreckage surround­ ing the vessel and entered one of the compartments, the bodies- were those of John L. Gibson, engineman, first- class, of Portland, Ore., and William Charles Teshmacher, seaman, first- class, of Bangor, Pa. The latter, a youth of 19, was a twin. His brother was believed to have been washed overboard when she went down. The divers orke'd in pairs, each couple working an hour at a time. But their time beneath the water was considerably more than that, as an hour and a half was required each time they were brought to the surface. Just what part of the submarine was entered by the divers was not made clear in the messages from Rear Admiral H. H. Christy, in com­ mand of the rescue workers. The most generally accepted belief was that they went through the battery compartment hatch, just forward of the conning tower. The battery com­ partment was filled with wreckage, the message said, and the divers could see that a door leading to the con­ trol cabin was open. Whether the door aft leading to the torpedo com­ partment was closed or not could not be determined. It was in the battery compartment that most of the crew was" sleeping when the crash came. Six of the men were on duty in the engine room aft. The divers have not been able to in­ vestigate that part of the submarine. It is thought that the naval officers haye held until now that the men stood more than an even chance of being alive. They had not given up hope, even then, notwithstanding that the generallly-accepted limit of 72 hours that the available oxygen could last expired. Says Warning Given in Time. Lakeburst, N. J.—Disregarding the advice of his weather expert, Com­ mander Zachary Lansdowns held the airship Shenandoah on her prescribed course until she was drawn into the storm that wrecked her, Lieut. Joseph B. Anderson (aerologist on board, tes­ tified before the naval court of in­ quiry. The suggestion that the ship be turned to the south was made at least half an hour and probably an hour before she was wrecked, Ander­ son said, adding that Commander Lansdowne had declined rfo heed the advice because the aerologist had been unable to point to any specific immediate danger signal in the skies to warrant a change of the course. ' “If the ship had been turned to the south,” the witfiess stated under cross examination, “we certainly would not have been In the position we were. It is my belief that had we turned south we would have had a better chance of avaiding the disaster that overtook us.” DEBT PARLEY ENDS MOD SUBSTANCE IS FRANCE PAY 40 MILLIONS A YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS. . - . Washington.—The frail formula of a tentative arrangement, which must be ratified by the French government, was thrust into the breach to prevent com­ plete collapse of the Franco-American debt funding negotiations. Thus, one week after Finance Min­ ister CaiUaux and his associates had laid down the first French proposal for funding their government’s four-billlon- dollar war debt, they departed for Paris, taking with them a document intended only to fill the gay sufficient­ ly to assure continuity of negotiations —even at long range. The arrangement, proposed by the combined debt commission as a final move to overcome what appeared to be insurmountable difficulties, would have France pay an annuity of $40,- 000,000 a year for five years and would enable the two governments to con­ tinue consideration of a program of final settlement to succeed the pro­ posed temporary pact at its expira­ tion. Further, it concedes that the an­ nuity thus paid shall be In. lieu of all interest on the debt during the time it shall run.—or an, interest charge of approximately one per cent a year. M. Cailaux gave American commis­ sioners the hope that he beieved the French govememnt would accept the agreement. He declined to sign it as a plenipotentiary inasmuch as he had been intrusted by his government, he said, to sign only a final settlement and he questioned his own right to act on an arragement of a provisional Character. “Consequently, bein gas desirous as you are not to interrupt the negotia­ tions which Can not fail to reach an agreement,” M. Caillaux’s last state­ ment to the Americans said, “the min­ ister of finance can do no more than submit to his colleagues o | the French cabinet the 'propositions which • you have made, and he will do his utmost to give you an answer as soon as possible,” It was after making that statement that Mr. Caillaux and his associates marched in single file from the meet­ ing and the end of the conversations between the two commissions had come. New Y ork-The North American Newspaper alliance, which sent Vin­ cent Sheean into the Riff as the cor­ respondent of The Charlotte Observer and its associated newspapers stated that there is no reason to believe Mr. Sheean is, being detained as a spy. The dispatch from Tangier published in The London Times is apparently based on local gossip. St. Simon’s Island Is Sold.

Five other prisoners, wounded by bullets fired by officers, were reported in improv­ ed condition. Three Dead in Southern Ry. Wreck. Rutherfordton.—One of the worst railroad wrecks in the history of Rutherford county occurred on the Southern’s Marion-Rock Hill division at Hollands creek, one mile north of here. Henry C. Baber, engineer, and a native of this county, Fireman J. G. Conley, of Rock Hill, S. C., and W. F. Wise, foreman of the work crew, of Thermal City, are all dead. Baber and Conley were buried under the en­ gine and killed instantly, while Wise died soon after. Wise was in the cab. He was rushed to the Rutherford hos­ pital, but died before he reached there. It was a work train and was push­ ing two cars and pulling One flat and a caboose when the car of sand in front of the engine jumped' the track on the trestle, turning the engine and tender over, pinning the engineeer and fireman under the engine. The engineer was soon rescued, but at night the fireman had-not been found. It is thought that he is pinned under the engine. The right arm of Engi­ neer Baber was cut in two. He was probably, scalded to death. The engine fell about 20 feet, also the tender and car of sand. The track was torn up on the trestle for about 150 feet, while the trestle was badly damaged for 75 to 100 feet. Nineteen negroes were on the flat loaded with crossties behind the en­ gine. Some o fthem suffered minor injuries. The flat and caboose were ,left on the trestle. Traffic on this line will be tied up for 24 hours or more. The passenger trains will likely transfer here. Engineer Baber has been a faithful employee of the Southern for over 25 years. He was well known in this coun­ ty. . He has one daughter living at Rock Hill. Conley is a young man while Wise was middle-aged. Everything possible is being done to rescue the body of Fireman Conley. M. Caillaux was unhappy that a per­ manent arrangement was not reached. Secretary Mellon, too, was disappoitetl, but he, nevertheless, regarded the re­ sults as a step4 forward and he felt that a better understanding between the two nations had been developed.

Washington.—A new method of ap­ proach was laid out at the third joint session of the French-American Debt Commission which are trying to find a common ground for settlement of the French war debt. Joseph Caillaux, French Finance Minister, made new suggestions re­ lating to the French capacity to pay and presented a defense of the prin­ ciples of his firfit offer, which was un­ acceptable. This required less than thirty minu­ tes, and at a separate meeting of the American commissioners it was de­ cided that Secretary Mellon should have a reply ready to'be presented to the French at another joint session. The statement by M. Caillaux was declared to have been a blunt repres­ entation of the French fiscal position, and to have elucidated the minister’s declaration that his original proposal was considered by him and his col­ leagues to be the best- they felt they should make. M. Caillaux in the meantime will meet with his own associates to give further study to calculations made by the French experts relative to the ef­ fect the suggestions made Friday by Mr. Mellon would have on the French fiscal position. Both side were reticent and when M. Caillaux left the joint meeting he said as a general reply to inquirers that Mr. Mellon had requested him to say nothing of discussions which went on in the morning session. Mr. Mellon declared he continued hopeful. He will meet again with his colleagues two hours before the scheduled joint session to go over with them the reply to the French sugges­ tions which were understood to rep­ resent, in a measure, an improvement over the original French proposal. Death Toll In Auto Wrecks Increasing. Washington.—Automobile fatalities in a group of 57 American cities !show­ ed a considerable increase during the four Weeks ending September 12. Re­ porting the results of its current monthl ysurvey, the Department of Commerce placed the total of deaths at 433 as compared with 369 In the same cities during the preceding four Weeks, i Norfolk is the ^nly city in the group which has shown- no fatalities in the last eight w.eeks covered in the re­ port, while cities having a clean record during the last four weeks are Albany, Cambridge, Dallas, El Paso, Fall River, Fort Worth and Somerville, Mass. The latter city also holds the best record for the year, with only four deaths. From January I to September 12, the department’s'figures showed 3,313 deatrs from automobile accidents in the 57 cities, which was compared with a total of 3,318 fatalities in the period from January I to ..Septembei 30, 1923. Comparabel figures for last year were not given but the_ total deaths for the entire year 1924 was 4,992, an increase from the 1923 total, which was 4,827. So far this year New York has re ported 63'8 automobile fatalities,' Chi cago 410, Philadelphia 191, Detroit 183, Cleveland and Los Angeles each 154, For the last four-week period New York reported 79, Chicago 66, Philadelphia 18, Detroit ,25, Cleveland 19, and Los Angeles 15. Find Trace of Anderson. Bristol, Va.-Tenn.—A stranger whose description talliecLwith that of George “Dutch” Andersonr, robber-bandit, spent the night at the house of a farmer re­ cently in Denton’s Valley, Sheriff Lit- ten, of Washington County, Virginia, reported. The sheriff, together with Sheriff Dillard, of Smyth County, has just returned from the mountain local­ ity, but said the man had disappeared when they, reached the scene.. A Smyth County man corroborated the similarity, of descriptions between the stranger and the robber-bandit. .ZEHI GETS TEIG ID PRISON WIFE OF O R G A N IS T TH R E W ACID ON ALLEGED RIVAL. 4 Norfolk.—Mrs. Louise C. Zehm, wife of Harry Zehm, organist of a .local church, was found guilty of “unlaw­ fully, maliciously and felonously” as­ saulting Miss Katharine Thorne, 20, stenographer, by throwing acid on her face, arms and shoulders and her pun­ ishment fixed at one year in the peni­ tentiary. Mrs. Zehm is alleged to have asked the girl to come to her home August 14 to discuss an alleged intimacy be­ tween Miss Thorne ad Mrs. Zehm’s husband and to have thrown acid at the girl and to have attacked her with a whip. Counsel for defense made a motion for a new trail, which will be heard October 10. ■ Miss Tohrne, attractively dressed, testified at the trial that there had been no intimacy between hersealf and the husband and that she had been his music pupil. She exhibited scars on her arms and shoulders to the jury. Mrs. Zehm declared that Miss Thome had broken up her home and that she had repeatedly tried to have the alleged affair stopped with the aid of the girl’s mother. She testified that her husband had admitted that he had been out with Miiss Thome. Several alienists testified that, in their opinion, Mrs. Zehm was sane at the time of the alleged assault, al­ though in their opinion she Was act­ ing under great mental duress. The jury was out one hour. Mrs. Zehm received the verdict calmly, al­ though a short time before she had broken down and- had been assisted from the court room. 'Spanish Heroes in Florida. St. Petrsburg, Fla.—The grand pa­ rade of the United Spanish War Vet­ erans here with approximately 5,000 persons participating brought the sec­ ond day of the 27th annual session to a close. Included in the line, of march were degree teams from different lairs of the Military Order of the Ser­ pent, ten bands, headed by the United States marine band from Paris Island and drill teams brought here by var­ ious camps. Election of officers will be held, it was definitely announced by Adjutant General James W. Murphy, of Wash­ ington, D. C. A hard three cornered fight is look­ ed for between the opposing candi­ dates who are Colonel-Carmel Thomp­ son, of Ohio, Colonel Harvey Hanna, of Tennessee, and Richard R. Flynn, of Massachusetts. At the business session nomina­ tions for officers were made and sev­ eral resolutions adopted. The leading ones were those calling upon Congress, for the passage of a pension bill ad­ justing the payment rates on an age basis and another pledging the sup­ port of the veterans to the govern­ ment and asking that adequate de­ fense forces be maintained. No resolution regarding the stand of Colonel William Mitchell in his fight for a separate air service de­ partment reached the floor and officers doubted the likelihood of such, though several .were placed in the hands of the resolutions committee. Controversy Flares Up. New York.—The controversy over Shapurji Saklatvala, communist mem­ ber of the British commons, whom the state department barred from this country, interrupted proceedings of the inter-parliamentary union's coun­ cil and threatened to present itself again when the Washington sessions open, although the council did every­ thing within its power to end the in­ cident over the Anglo-Indian radical. Acting on a protest from Saklatavla against what he called the “extraordi­ nary step” by the United States gov­ ernment iin revoking his passport visa, the council adopted resolutions declar­ ing “it recognizes that the American government has a right to enforce its own laws and therefore can not dis­ cuss the merits or demerits of the case.”' A copy of the resolution was sent to Saklatvala. Discussion of the Saklatvala ques­ tion was'carried over until night from a long morning executive session so that an enlarged executive committee could prepare the resolution. With the British delegation, ef 49 almost unanimously backing Secretary of State Kellogg’s action in revoking Saklatvala’s American visa,, officials of the Union expressed the hope that nothing more would be heard of the matter.- Operating Income Is Boosted. Wilmington.—The railway operating revenue of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company for the. month of August amounted to $6,396,633, indi­ cating a gain of $1,374,410 compared with the same month last year, while the railway operating revenues from January I to August 31, 1925, total $60,222,586, or a gain of $4,897,345 for the same period in 1924.- The net railway operating income for August, 1925, amounted to $936,- 111, a gain of $311,392 pver the pre­ ceding month.

Prank begins school. Two years later they are joined by Jean and Frank’s sister M arjorie. A little later Jean confides to Frank, In verse, her hope of some day be­ coming “Mrs. Hall.” He accepts the "proposal." Frank is four­ teen when his m other dies. The boys are eighteen when John's father is killed In an accident. Two years later Frank's father and John’s m other are married. Dissatisfied w ith conditions, and ambitious, the two boys make plans to go to M anitoba and "homestead," the girls agreeing to go w ith them. They set out. At Regina they meet "Jake," who agrees to find them satisfactory homesteads. He does so, and the two friends file claims on Sec­ tions Fourteen and Twenty-two.

He returns the call. CHAPTER VI—Continued When we had bad our swim and dried ourselves on the sand wa went back up to the house. The shadows were now falling, long and narrow, to the eastward, and the pra'rie lay bushed and silent in that deep and peaceful calm which marts the sum­ mer evening an hour or two before sundown. After supper Spoof sat and chatted until it was time to light the lamp. Jean set it on the table, an<f as its yellow glow fell' across his face I realized for the first time that Spoof was not a boy, as were Jack and I. There were lines In the cheeks and about the eyes which, magnified by the shadows under the lamplight, bore evi­ dence that Spoof had known more of this world's cares than was hinted by his usual light-hearted conversation. Presently he was talking of Eng­ land; easing, perhaps, the homesick­ ness in his heyt by calling up scenes of leafy lanes and misty sun-shot land­ scapes linking deeply into his life. He had tales of London as well; tales of art treasures and music and theaters all alight with life and beauty; tales'^ of gravestones marking the great of a nation with a history reaching back into the early obscurity of western civilization. Something about the pride he showed in the great deeds of the past seemed to strike us strangely —we of a country whose history was still so much in the future and whose greatest deeds were still to be done. “Do you Sing, Mr. Spoof?" Marjorie asked. “Only at great distances from civili­ zation—my bullocks could say a word or two about my musical voice if they were so disposed. But surely you or Miss Hall—” “jean sings and plays, if we had anything to play on,” Marjorie de­ clared, “But we haven't a^ded a piano yet to our equipment. I suppose we shall have to buy a binder and horses and perhaps a thrashing mill before we have any money for musical instru­ ments." “And a house,” I added. “I’d like to see you keep a piano, in tune in a cage like this.” “You should hare a banjo,” said Spoof. “By Jove, just the thing! I’ve a banjo tucked away somewhere in my belongings. Something I forgot to pawn at Regina. I’ll bring it over and give you lessons, if you’ll let me.” “I should be delighted,” said Jean, and her voice was quite unnecessarily' low and sweet. There was a late twilight glow In the northern sky and the smell of dew on the prairie grass filled the air when Spoof decided it was time to go home. We helped him hiteli the “bally bull- ,,ocks” to the wagon and watched him disappear into the darkness. Long after he was lost, to sight the rnmble C f his wagon and the voice of his ex­ hortation could be heard welling up out of the distance. “A fine chap,” said Jack, as we parted for the night. “I am glad we are to have him for a neighbor.” “Yes,” said I. But my voice had no ring of enthusiasm. CHAPTER VII . • * Affairs began to move with some rapidity In our little settlement Until now we had had the world, as far as the eye' could carry, to ourselves, but Spoof proved only the advance guard of a stream of neighbors which, from Its source in a dozen different springs of humanity, was to pour in upon us during the next few months. Wednes­ day niffht we cnmn hack from ^..,inFo as we had a little shyness about being overtaken in our good works, and the next morning, while I was gulping great draughts of ozone in front of the shack before breakfast, Marjorie called over my shoulder: “What's that, away to the east, Frank?" Sure enough, there was a little white pyramid outlined against the horizon; another tent pitched against front trenches of civilization. “Neighbors, Marjorie; neighbors!” I said. “We’re getting to be quite a community. Do you ever think of the day when all this wilderness of prairie will be plowed, every foot of it; all bearing something for the world’s needs, with prosperous farmhouses at every corner, schools, churches—” ' “I smell the porridge!" Marjorie ex­ claimed, rushing into the shack. She had a way of cutting off my rhapsodies like that. Jack had seen the tent, too, and he and Jean came over at noon to discuss It. We decided to knock off work early that evening and all drive-over to make the acquaintance of the new­ comers. We fonnd that the tent was pitched on Eighteen, In the next township to the east,- As we came up we were greeted by a fine collie dog, who seemed to be suffering from the con­ flicting emotions of his natural good humor and a sense that we had no business on Eighteen. His rush upon us with great barking and show of ferocity ended in much aimiable tail- wagging. Evidently we measured up to his requirements, which we took to be no mean compliment. A team of ponies were tethered on the prairie not far away, and a demo­ crat stood beside the tent, with .some of its burden still to be unloaded. A woman of slender build and rather striking beauty stood at the door. There was surprise, and, as I thought,' a suggestion of fear in her eyes. More, remarkable was the sudden and un­ mistakable relief which sprang into her expression when she had seen us clearly. I am not a detective, even of the amateur kind, but I found myself in­ stantly gripped by a conclusion, “th e woman is afraid,” I said to myself, and yet she is no coward, she has no fear of strangers, but she is afraid of someone—afraid of someone she knows. She was relieved when she saw we were strangers.” The .thought was one which was to recur to me from many angles during the next few months. She seemed to hesitate about-greet­ ing us, and Jean, always the quick­ witted one of our quartette, was the first to break, a rather stupid silence. Slie sprang lightly from the wagon and went forward with arms outstretched. "We are your neighbors, from Four­ teen and Twenty-two,” she explained^ "We saw your tent, and thought we would welcome you to prairieland.” “That Is good of you,”* said a well- modulated English .voice, but some way the voice seemed to break just there, A Woman of Slender Build and Rather Striking Beauty Stood at the Door. and the lips of the newcomer went all a-tremble. The next we knew she and Jean had their arms about each other. . . . “Oh, how horribly stupid of me!” the stranger exclaimed, in a moment or two, disengaging herself and dabbing her eyes with a little lump of hand­ kerchief. “One gets a bit—a bit lone­ ly, in spite of everything. You will thinft I am rather a bad ,pioneer. My name is Mrs. Alton, and I’m so. glad you came, Miss—Miss—” Jean introduced herself and the others of our party, and then we clam­ bered down out of the wagon. “Gerald and I have been very much alone,” Mrs. Alton explained. “Ger­ ald doesn’t seem to mind it a bit— rather glories in it, I think. Already lie has made some great explorations, but always under Sandy's watchful eye. Sandy is a great comfort, Aren’t VAti aivV She turned to the dog, who sedately held up one paw In acknowledgment of her remark. “Gerald, I should have told you, has just turned three. I am a widow," Mrs. Alton rattled on, as though not wishing to stress the point—“and Gerald and I have our way to make In the world. He Is tired now, and asleep after a great day's roamjng, but I shall wake him before you go.” • “Oh, please don’t!” Jean entreated. “Let us see him as he sleeps,” and without waiting for an invitation she gently made her way into the little tent.“Don’t you think me clever?” Mrs. Alton asked, when we had at last dis­ covered it. It consisted of a trunk, with the lid turned back, and about ,half the con­ tents removed. In this she had laid a little mattress, and on the mattress slept a beautiful toy, Iiis face still ruddy from his wrestle with the prai­ rie winds; his lips cherry red and slightly p.-rted; his little arms thrown jauntily above his head. Jean leaned and touched the breathing lips with hers, and so did Marjorie, and a little later I saw tears on the cheeks of both. It was then I remembered that these girls had not seen a child since we left Regina in the spring, and the mothering Instinct In them, pent up through all those lonely months, now burst forth in sweet silent tears. I began to realize that Gerald Alton was to be one of the important mem­ bers of the community. “Isn’t he lovely—lovely?” Jean was murmuring as though unable to tear herself from his side. “Mrs. Alton, I am sure you have placed us all under a debt of gratitude. This community simply had to have a baby.” After that, conversation came eas­ ier, and we found ourselves talking about farm life, and the problems of the homesteader. Mrs. Alton drank in every word with avidity; she was eager for information on the most casual affairs. “I am so frightfully stupid!” she exclaimed. .“You see, I know nothing about farming, and I suppose it was a very wild notion that I should take a homestead. I did it on Gerald’s ac­ count. I shall manage some way, and in three years—by the time he must start to school—the farm will be mine. Then I shall sell it or mort­ gage it to give him an education.” “By that time we may have a school next door,” I suggested. “People will flow in here in crowds, once they make a start. . Have you plans for carrying on the work of the farm?" “I have two men following with boards to tuild a house; just a very tiny house, in keeping with my purse. Then I hope to hire a neighbor to do some plowing, and I will plant some corn next spring. I shall raise chick­ ens, and have a great garden—I know all about gardening,” she added naively, with a sudden return of con­ fidence. “You should have seen my English roses!” We had not the heart to tell her that there lay a great gulf between English roses and a Canadian cab­ bage patch, and she rattled on, evi­ dently glad o f someone to watch with sympathy the mirage castles which she was building on her horizon. “For myself, I am quite penniless,” she ,confessed, thrusting her upturned palms toward us with a little impul­ sive gesture. “Gerald is my re­ source, as well as mj; responsibility. He has a hundred pounds a year. We shall invest It in this farm. I am sure we are going to prosper wonder­ fully. “All the world seems to circle around Ger.ald,” she added, as though it were an afterthought She made Jean and Marie sit down on a box on which she had spread a steamer rug. Jack and I stood at the door of the tent, where the setting sun blazoned our wind-tanned faces a ruddy red. “How healthy you men are!” she exclaimed, clasping her fingers in a nervous grip. (“If only Gerald will grow up like that.!" . “We will come .over when the men bring the lumber, and help them build your house,” Jack volunteered. “TKe lumber—what lumber? Oh,~ the boards! Oh, how good of you I” The regard in which she held us appeared to rise another degree. “And are you carpenters, as well as farmers?” she asked. “How wonder­ fully clever you men are, here, I had to go to a doctor in Regina—Gerald had a rash, or something—it was in the evening apd I found him at his house, building a chicken-coop. Jolly wonderful, isn’t it?” As the shadow of I the democrat filled the tent door we spoke of leav­ ing. . ■ ; “Not until you have had tea," she insisted. “We shall have tea with biscuits and jam. I I: ought an oil stove in Regina—a most wonderful machine. We . shall have it ready in a moment.” While she started her oil stove she asked, casually enough, “Am I the only newcomer in all the big prairie which you hive been having to your­selves?” “No; yon are the second,'’ I atf-OOTOKUJ olmuidv’ b i u CopyrIfirht by Robert Stead bor. a countryman of yours, down on section Two. Spoof, he calls himself, although that is not his real name.” She was working over the stove, with her back toward us, and perhaps she dallied longer than there was any need for, but I took no notice of the matter at the time. “What a strange name,” she said, after a while. . . . “Is he there now—I mean, have you seen him lately? A countryman of mine; you know, I must be interested in him," she added, brightly, turning her face to 'us again. At length, with assurances that we would repeat our visit soon, and a promise from Mrs. Alton that she would return it when the men had her house under way, we clambered into our wagon and started the oxen on their slow, lumbering gait home­ ward. Sandy saw us properly off the place, and even stood at attention until we faded out of sight In the twilight. There is likely to be a nip to the night air on the prairies even in midsummer, and Jean, I noticed, snuggled comfortably beside me on the board across the wagon box which served as a seat. . . . Or perhaps it was that for the first time in months the latent motherhood In her nature had been stirred into con­ sciousness. It was Sunday before we heard or saw anything more of Spoof. In a khakl-colored shirt and corduroy treeches and leggings and an Indian helmet which he had dug up from somewhere he was a pieturesque and' striking figure as he strode into the grateful shade of the shanty. Under his arm he carried a banjo case. Spoof took off his helmet and sat down in the sha^e. A ring of dust had formed on his fair temples and forehead and his brown hair was curly with 'perspiration. He was a man good to look at; straight and lean, but not too spare; with white teeth that flashed behind lips always ready to spring to a smile beneath a sandy mustache that had more in It of promise than of realization. His hands were small, and finely formed, with long, delicate fingers, and he gave his nails a degree, of attention not often found among those so close to the realities of life' as were we pioneers. Opening the banjo case he produced not only a banjo but a box of candy, which he had managed to smuggle into it. “The ladies, I hope, will accept,” said he, tendering the candy to Jean. “If accompanied by a serenade In our honor?” was the quick' rejoinder. “But not until after I have had a bath, and have somewhat recovered my wind," Spoof pleaded, and was excused. It was evening before he took op his banjo, but almost with the first sweep of its clamoring strings he started vibrations which seemed to catch our little' band of exiles some­ where about the heart and squeeze us suddenly hollow with loneliness. Then he sang, dipping into little fragments of repertoire, until at last he hit upon something ,that Jean had learned be­ fore we left the -East, and there her clear soprano joined his tenor as nat­ urally as one brook mingles with an­ other and both flow on, singing a new song which is all of the Old4 one, and something more. I had never learned to sing, and while I felt the heart- tugs of their harmony there were other strings tugging ait my heart as well. “But we forgot the greatest news,” Jean exclaimed, in a pause after one of their selections. “We have neigh­ bors—two new neighbors—three, coun- ing Sandy. They are living on Eight­ een, to the east; surely you saw the tent?" “So t did,” said Spoof, ‘‘but I thought it might be a wandering In­ dian family. Two, did you say? A married couple?” “No, a widow, Mrs. Alton,’ tnd her baby, Gerald, the dearest little chap. He puts us down for Indians, and with some reason.” “Gerald?” said Spoof. “How old is he?” “Jnst turned three, so Mrs. Alton told us. You should see her; not very big, bat pluck to the marrow. She has taken a homestead so that she can raise the money to educate her boy. She is coming over as soon as she is settled, and we must have you meet her. She’s English, and yoa U love her.** Jean’s frankness rather set me at ease again. Evidently I was magnify­ ing the grip that Spoof was gaining T nJ f - She content that'‘he should .love his new English neighbor. I shall be wonderfully interested In her, ’ Spoof said, 'gayiy,, but it seemed to me that his mind had sud­ denly gone all a-ramble. There was a moment's silence, then he took up the thread again. “I once knew £ little boy of that name—Gerald—ivas r ^ d e n ? * 1 t0 h'm-' 'Stran^ how an incident-a name, for example— wn^recan a whole chain of memo- What memories of Spoofs were aroused he did not say, but he Tans H0^ r r hdX rntly decid6d« ™ It trtis the first day of August at that first year on the prairies that Jack and I hitched the oxen to the wagon, threw on board a kit consist­ ing mainly ol' a change of clothes and a blanket for each of us, said a brave1 but undemonstrative good-by to the girls, and turned our faces to the older settlements. We were setting forth to earn what money we could during the short season of high wages. Our ,own oat field could wait; we would cut it for feed, anyway, and a little frost wouldn’t matter. On the second day out, as we halt­ ed on the side of a little knoll to let the oxen graze and to eat our lunch, we were sqddenly aware of the rumble of an approaching vehicle and the tones of a lusty voice, lifted In some­ thing evidently intended for song. Even before we had identified th6 “flyin* ants” we caught the burden of the refrain— •‘Lived a min-er, a forty-nlne-er, An’ his aaueh-ter, Sweet Marie.” “It’s Jake, of all the world!" shout­ ed Jack, and together we rushed down upon him. His pndgy form, sheltered from the hot sun by a broad felt hat, lolled on one end of the seat of his democrat “Hello!” was his greeting. “Dang it, stand still a minute, you piebald lump 0' fox-bait”—this to one of the bronchos, switching at a horse-fly— “don’ you know your friends when you meet ’em? Well, how goes i t on the gopher ranch?” - We shook hands and made him stop and eat with us. Jake w as' fresh charged with Re­ gina gossip, and that of the country for two hundred miles around.

When the road construction pro- Wam that's planned by the state Lglnvay commission in,the seventh Ii^trict is finished. Davie county will Jiave as much and probably more Improveil highways withiu it than Htivoilier county 111 the state of Lqiml territory and population, h'liis Stutement was made by Dis­ trict Kiigiueer,,C. S. Currier. TIr1 district has recently finished Ihe construction of the hard-sur laced liiglnvay into the county from aVinston Salem to Mocksville and Lid tlie next project to be put Iimler way is the construction of a land-asphalt highway over route \'o. 75 between Mocksville and Lexington. This project has been jeld tip for some time owing to the ack ol available funds' but it is iuderstood that it is ready to be iiarted soon. The construction of this high- fjvav will call for the concrete ,and steel brigde over the Yadkin river teiiakjn^ the connection between tue Winnies of Davie and Davidson iiucli cunveeuient to travel. At the ireseiii time there is a ferry cou- Iectiiig t.ie two counties on Route The bridge will De construct- IJ about two miles down the river 10m the poiut now crossed by the errv, and this will tend largely to [traiglilen'out the highway. Aheadv grading on the route lroin Mocksville to Fork Church is guder way, and about half of this, distance of about six.-miles is ompleted. This highway will be rented with oii. Another project calls for the Sard surfacing of the highway" be- fween Mocksville and Turnersburg, onne^iiug with the North Wilkes- ioro-Statesville highway. • This tretcli of hard surface will give a traight hard surfaced highway roni this city to Charlotte. ■Mr. Currier also declared that he highway commission has under vay plans for the bard surfacing of lie highway between Mocksville itid Salisbury. The work on this doue just as soon as Rowau fcouuty agrees to do their share of pf Uie construction. With this |ystem of highways, there will be fiue sand asphalt highway, con­ necting Mocksville and Lexingtou hard surface highway couuectitig 'Wiustou-Saleni and Mbcksville, Iud a hard surfaced highway con­ necting Salisbury and Mocksville and another connecting Statesville' Iknd Mocksville. Ieory Ford Makes $1.25 Every Se; cond. * Henry--Fqrd, the flivver, king, has !been making automobiles for 23 (years, and today his business and [more tha/i a billion dollars.

It other words if Henry had start- e I working for $1 a second,. $3 600 ! an hour, it would have taken him 1-0 years instead of 23 to have made male Iiisi. money, working, eight h iurs a day. Take out your watch and- watch the Iiand tick off a second* and then think that for ever'y one-of these se­ conds that have been ticked . .off in 24 Iiuur days of* the last 23 years, approximately $1 25 has been added t" Ford’s wealth.

Cotton broke from six to nine dollars a bale, on the -September government crop estimate, which forecast several hundred thousand bales more than at the forme*- fore­ casting period. But the prediction evidently is not very convincing as this decline has been followed by a slow but steady rise backi toward the point from which the break caVne. Uiidoubtly the earlv ginning re­ port 011 which lhis eslin a e was par­ tially based showed an nnusually large number of bales ginned ‘for the season. There is no need to be mystified or misled by large early ginnings, for it is loo well known lhat the ‘‘sunny South” has ljeen sunnier during.lhe pasl fonr months than it had been in more than for­ ty summers. This could but have resulted in early opening of the bolls, while the lack of rain has permitted more rapid picking^ of the crop Iban for a number of years. The September just ended was a- bout the ’driest lhe South has known in nearly a half century. September of last year was one of the wettest', consequently the con­ sequently tlfe contrast in the a.- inouiit ot cotton ginned has an all too apparent reason. Ou the oilier hand, the foiecist- ers 110 doubt .took into account that lack of rain in the "early picking season meaht that a larger per Cent of the crop would, be harvest­ er.

Twerityrfive years ago yesterday, there were only four automobiles in North Carolina. B C. Davis, of Henderson, and S. P. McNair, of Wilmington, each had one, and there were two in Charlotte.

Jef ferson Standard Life Insurence Com pany was organized in Raleigh. Two of the officers, P D. and Charles W. Gold brought with them from Wil­ son their automobiles. They were the only business men in Raleigh who rode in autos A borne life in- siirencecompaiiy was throught by some people to be an expiment and the possesion of one. a piece of great extravagance. The late Col: Charles E Johnson, vice president of the insurance company, and deeply in- terested.in its success, advised the Golds to sell their auto. - This is a very conservative town and your having automobiles will be prejudi- cal to the success of the company.” he said. These meu sold their cars and walked to prevent any injury to the company: Within a short time Colonel Johnson, president of a leading bank, • had "purchased an automobile. The Golds^could not understand why it would hurt an insurance company for its officers,to ride while it did not militate against a bank for its president to ride About the same time the late,Ash­ ley Horne, rich business man and manufacturer, said be would not de­ posit his money in a bank if the of- ficeis kept automobiles. Todav is any bank officat without his auto? Twenty five years htnce—whai?

The subscriptions to wipe out the deficit were started at the morning session when New York pledge $750,- OOO and at the close of the afternoon session $1,401,000 had been pleadged. The joint session of the two houses was held for the purpose of hearing the report of the national council. Bishop Thomas F. Gailer, president of the council, presented a survey of the mission work of the church, point­ ing out “the remarkable iifcrease of offerings during recent years.” In 1923 the amount contributed for the work of the church was $15,000,000, over and above that of 1919. He stated that at the convention of 1922 the national council was author­ ised to spend $19,000,000 during the triennium, but it had actually spent just over $11,60},000, he said, by the exercise of distressing economic and rigid cut of expenses. The deficit in 1924 in the work of the council was $133,600, and the president discussed the question of how the church could provide against a similar deficit in the future. Amundsen Plans New.Trip. New York.—Undaunted by Arctic nerils. CaDt. Roald Amundsen, whose polar airplane expedition barely escap­ ed perishing last summer, arrived from Europe to begin preparations for a resumption of the flight next sum­ mer "from Rome to Nome” In a semi­ rigid dirigible. As a confirmation of last summer’s attempt to fly across the roof of the world. Amundsen and his youthful American patron, !Lincoln Ellsworth, will head a party of IS scientists and aeronautical experts on -an adventure to be known as the AmundsenjElls- worth transpolar flight. The purpose ot the flight will be geographical exploration and survey of a million sqdare miles of polar re­ gions between the’ point where Amundsen’s expendition stopped last summer and Alaska, the explorer hop­ ing to discover large areas of land which he wilt plant the Norwegian flag. Hopping off from Spitsbergen late in May, after the dirigible has been flown from Italy via England, Amundsen and Ellsworth hope to reach Alaska in 60 hours.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SAYS GOOD WILL MUST SUPPLANT RACIAL HATRED. Omaha, Neb.—Appealing to America to take the lead in prevention of war, President Coolidge declared here that there can be no assurance of lasting peace until racial hatreds are supplant­ ed by international good'will and tol­ erance. A plea was made before the American Legion convention where he was cheered repeatedly as he read 370 compared with $37,197,153. from a prepared speech. An ovation was accorded the Pres­ ident during a crowded 10-hour stay here which was climaxed by a review .of thousands of World war veterans. For two hours he watched the parade, Washington.—The uet operating in­ come of the country’s class one rail­ roads was placed by the Bureau of Railway Economics at $124,8014,655 for August against $95,706,867 for August 1924. For the first eight month's-tills year, the net earnings were $662,762,605 said the bureau, which is maintained by the railroads, and this represented 4.05 per cent annual return based on the car­ riers’ property investment'figures. The gross operating revenues were placed at $555,366,570, an increase of $48,860,750 compared with the same month last year, and operating ex- i penses totaled $338,869,550, an increase of $15,198,375, while freight traffic, measured in net ton miles, was nearly 15 per cent greater than in August, 1924. Expenditures for m aintenace a- mounted to $182,986,296, an increase1 of $S,40S,000 over August last year. Carriers in the eastern district were credited with a net operating income in August of $64,617,103 compared with $46,972,361 in August last year; those in the southern district, $15,- 043,192 compared with $10,947,363; and in the western district $45,144, Bursting Tanks Kill Three Persons.

Officials of the company were still at a loss to account for the exact cause of the explosion.

New Orleans.—The cotton market showed almost Steady downward trend the past week owing to liquidation of the state long interest accumulated on the rally which sueeceded the first sharp slump following the last bureau report. Priced have now declined to levels actually below the figures reached on the day the government report was is­ sued and reached new low ground for the present downward movement at something more than two cents a pound below the high points reached late last month. t There have been brief periods when the market rallied due to rather good trade buying but this did not do more than cause a temporary halt, as the declinqjivas resumed during the clos­ ing days of the week and Saturday’s close at 22.13 for December was the lowest figure, reached on the present decline which is likely to be added to before the next government report due October 8 is issued. ' The main reasons for the decline have been a heavy movement of the crop to market and growing belief in a larger ultimate yield than the- approxi-( m ately-14,000,000 bales indicated in' the last government report. Many pri­ vate reports so far issued represent­ ing conditions on around October I estimated the yield in the neighbor­ hood of 14,300,000 bales and some of them predict a crop as, high as 14,500,- 000 bales. These coupled with the big movement in market and indications that total ginnings to October I, will reach record proportions, some pre­ dicting as much as 7 000,000 bales have created an impression among traders that the next government report will estimate the crop fully four hundred thousand bales above the last report. About the only constructive statisti­ cal development during the week was the* heavy total of exports reaching .427,485 bales. NEW YORKER IS ELECTED PRES­ IDENT HOUSE OF.EPISCOPAL DEPUTIES.

Hannibal, was drowned when he fell from the deck of the vessel at the Philadelphia Navy yard.

Lieuten­ ant Jackson was 25 years old and was graduated from the Naval academy in 1921. He had been attached to th e; Hannibal ever since. His home could aot be learned. Disarmament Given Boost. , Washington.—While the interparlia­ mentary union resolved . to sponsor movements for world disarmament and protection of troublesome national ,orderlands, spokesmen from the Jap­ anese and British group declared their governments were ready to join with others in a concerted action for fur­ ther reduction ot araments, The resolution on armaments reduc­ tion, reported by Dr. H. Munch of Den­ mark, expressed regret that exporters or armaments in most countries show­ ed a “serious increase;” stated the necessity of giving nations a feeling of security and called for thorough ex­ amination by a special subcommittee of methods for reducing armaments, including the drafting of a technical scheme to bring this about.

Washington, D. C.—If the country expects to make more rapid progress in the solution of the hazard problem on the streets and highways, cities, towns and communities must take the safety question as primarily one of engineering and street planning on’the one hand and of public, education on the other. This was the keynote, of an address of “Safety and the Automobile” deliv­ ered by Thos. Pl Henry, president of the American Automobile association, before the Annual congress of the Na­ tional Safety council in session in Cleveland. President Henry issued a strong warning that the country must cease to depend Un police powers and tem­ porary regulations to solve the traffic problem and urged that safety work in the future be directed toward pub­ lic education and city and community planning in the larger sense.

Motor Crash Fatal to Girl. North Wilkesboro'. N. C.—Miss Eva Harris, 1.7, is dead; Miss Mona Wil­ liams, formerly Mrs. McDowell, is ser­ iously injured, and Miss Connie Fer­ guson is badly cut and bruised, as the result of an automobile accident which occurred just before noon on the Boone Trail highway 17 miles east ot this city. About 10 o’clock the party left this city en route to Winston-Salem. Miss Mona Williams was driving, the car used being a high-powered Nash road­ ster, the property of a resident of Winston-Salem. Is reported by several parties along the route traveled that the car was being driven at a high Tate of speed prior to the accident, and that at the time of the wreck a speed of 50 miles an hour was reached, this causing the driver to lose control of the car. The accident occurred near Denny- ville church, one mile northwest of the Wilkes-Yadkin line. The machine left the highway and turned over down an embankment, causing instant death to Miss Harris, and inflicting injuries that may prove fatal to-Miss Williams.

Richmond, Va,—Hope of finding alive Engineer Tom Mason and two negro laborers entombed in the Chesa­ peake & Ohio railway tunnel in Church hill, which caved in Friday afternoon, .was ■ virtually abandoned when the giant steam shovel stopped work be­ cause of cracking of the ground around the shovel which indicated a slfde in upon the crew. Throughout the night the shovel had been eating into the hillside, while a shaft is being run down directly over where the engine of the work train is believed to be. With the cesation of work with the steam shovel, only the work Ofl the Sflaft and crews working from one entrance are being GfirHfid on. The shaft was still approximately 40 feet from where the entombed men are believed to be. The crew working on the entrance found going slow be­ cause of the necessity of hauling the dirt out in wheelbarrows.' Wet Days Return to Russia.' Moscow.—After 11 years of partial prohibition Russia became completely wet. Whiskey, brandy and liquors con­ taining 60 per cent of alcohol and vodka of 40 per cent strength again appeared in the cafes, restaurants and stores. Severai hundredthousard bot­ tles of pre-war liquors of various kinds which could not be sold previously on account of their high alcohol content were automatically released for sale. Heretofore . the government' has maintained a monopoly of the manu­ facture and sale of spirituous liquors. Initial Shipment of British Gold. • New York.—The first substantial ex­ port movement of gold from London to New York since Great Britain’s return to the gold standard last spring now is under way. Engagements for ap­ proximately $4,000,000 of British gold was announced by three New York banks which found it profitable to buy the metal through their London corres­ pondent in foreign exchange transac­ tions. Most of the gold, it is expect­ ed, will be shipped on the Homeric which sails from Southampton. Additional shipments wiil depend on fluctuations of sterling exchange which recently has been quoted below the gold export point. Following an­ nouncement that between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 had been withdrawn from the Bank of England for export to the United States and the continent. Sterling quickly strengthened afid lo. cal bankers expressed doubts that profitazle margin could be malnetain- ed long. Approximately $2,000,000 of the gold now on its way will go to, the Farm­ ers Loan & Trust tSpmpany, and about $1,000 000 each tp the Seaboard Na­ tional bank, and the Irving bank, Co­ lumbia Trust company.. Bankers expressed the opinion that New York would'be. able to absorb on its credit position but held the effect in Great Britain, where the market is more sensitive to such movements, would be a slight stiffening of money rates. Wanderers Adam and Eve had just been turned out of the Garden of Eden. “Here’s where we start the trouble for the entire human race,” said he. “Yes; we are confronted with the original housing problem.” ■ Shoots His Niece Then Kills Sel|. Valdosta, Ga,—Joseph W. Johnston, live stock dealer of this city, shot his niece, Mary Rose, with a revolver and then turned the weapon upon himself; inflicting a fatal wound in the head. The young woman was rushed to the hospital, where it was stated she prob­ ably would recover. Members of the family said Johnson, who resided at the Rose home, had ob­ jected to the young woman having men friends. One of her freinds telephon­ ed her. A quarrel followed between Miss Rose and Johnson, when the latter is said to lave pulled out the revolver and shot the young woman in the back. The bullet lodged near the heart. . . Then Johnson walked out in the reair yard and shot himself, dying almost inastntly. Lack of Funds Cuts Activities. ■ Washington.—Rear Admiral W. R. Shoemaker, chief of the bureau of nav­ igation, declared before the president’s air board that lack of funds had caus­ ed a curtailment of every naval activ- ity and necessitated a reduction in the enlisted personnel from 86,000 to 81,700 for the fiscal year 1926. One of several naval officers called, Admiral Shoemaker advocated the training as pilots of one enlisted man to every flying officer as an. economf. cal way of preparing a reserve of skill­ ed men. * From School Teacher to Great.

He falls into the w ater and is saved from possible death b y ' clinging to Jeans outstretched arms. Next day Jean informs him that be­ cause of their adventure of the day before be Is . In duty bound to marry her. He agrees when they are “grownups.” W ith Jean's brother, John, also aged six, Frank begins- school. Tavo years , later they are joined by Jean and Frank’s sister Marjorie. A little later Jean confides to Frank, In verse, her hope of some day be­ coming “Mrs. Hall.” He accepts the “proposal.” Frank is four­teen when his m other dies. The boys are eighteen when John's father is killed in an accident. T*vg years later Frank’s father and John’s m other are married. Dissatisfied w ith conditions, and ambitious, the two boys make plans to go to M anitoba and “homestead,” the girls agreeing to go with them. They set out. At Regina they meet “Jake,” who agrees to find them satisfactory homesteads. He does so, and the two friends file claims on Sec­ tions Fourteen and Twenty-two. Jake sagely advises .the adven­ turers in the purchase of sup­ plies. and in a wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen, and with a cow; the four arrive a t'th e ir future homes. Construction of “shacks” and the m aking of a garden are their first occupations. A young Englishman of the name of “Spoof* is a neighbor. They call on Spoof, who is living in a tent. Spoof, on his return visit, dis­ closes himself as a man of varied social attainm ents. Frank’s jeal­ ousy is aroused. ' Marjorie dis­ covers that they have a new neighbor. “He” turns out to be a Mrs. Alton, a widowed English­ woman, who. with her three- year-old son GeraliJ-'has taken up a claim. Frank and John leave the homesteads fo r‘a time to do harvest work for wages on a longer-estslilished farm. CHAPTER VIII— Ccniinued “Fish? Shoals of ’em. Say. in about four days I begun to get as nint'li mail as a new millionaire. An' photographs I T wish I bad some to show you, but she—Bella—burned ’em all up. Tbey were wliat I call pictures o’ real life. I got so much mail the postman says to me. ‘\Yhat- ya doin’, Jake; startin’ a lottery?' an’ I says ‘Yep.’ Guess I wasn't far ont, at that. ‘■Well, ju st' as I was thinkin’ o’ goin’ to a business college an’ liirin’ a few dozen stenographers, along comes this telegram.” Ue produced a yellow sheet. ‘‘Meet me at Regina station Thurs­ day five p. m. you'll know me I am the only one In the world. Bella Donna." “Well, I reckons right off that Bella Donna is an alibi, or whatever you call a false name, an' that some o’ the boys is pulling a gag on me, but like a fool down I goes to the station, an’ there I saw her coinin’ right up the platform like a sandhill crane out of a marsh. I knew her, -jus’ like she said, so when she comes up I calls her hand. “ ‘Madam,’ says I, ‘are you the lady o' the porous plaster?’ “ ‘I’ll plaster you,’ says she, ‘if you give me any o’ yer lip.. But do you happen to know a Mr. Jake?’ says she, gettin’ out a paper; ‘he"e's his . address.’ “ 'Know him I’ says I. ‘I should say so.. An’ in case you're tliinkin’ o’ marryin- him let me tell you some­ thin’, jus’ between .friends. Jake buries a wife once a year, reg’lar.’ “ ‘He does, eh?‘ says she. ‘Well, I’m promisin’,TH be ,a relic' before he's1 a widower,’ says she. ‘Belie’ is what she said, but it didn’t sound right to me. “ ‘That’s bettiri’ on a cinch,’ says I, ‘meanin’ that she would get the red riiibon for relics at Itegina fair al­ ready, but my wit goes over her head, as it ofen does, an’ she comes hack at me with ‘Whn’d’ yon know ’bout dnybody marryin- Mr. Jake?’ “ ‘Everythin’, says I, humpin' my wislihone with importance. ‘Jake tells me everythin’. I’m his spiritooal ad­ viser, so to speak, which includes matrimony. The women that wants to marry Jake—lots of ’em rich, too, madam;’ I says. Tm sieerin’ him clear o’ them every day,’ I says, 'part­ ly out o’ sympathy for them, on ac­ count o’ his—his severe habits,’ I says. “ ‘Who are you, anyway?’ says she, an’ with that I dashes my telegram on her. ‘I’m the party of the first part.’ says I, as they say in the law offices. “ ‘So you’re Jake,’ she-says, pullin’ herself up till'all her angles, stood out like the haunches of a starved • mus­ tang., ‘Well, you got a h—I of a nerve’, she says. “I begun to think maybe she was about right, hut she gave me no time' for reflections. “ ‘Where’s a preacher?” -she says. ‘You wanted speed, an’ yer goin’ to get it.’ .Wttli that she Iiustled me over town an’ had me married before 3U knew i it, so I’d have to settle fer the supper, as I figgered it out after-' ward. Then after supper we‘go to my shack an’ she climbs into my busi­ ness papers like a liouad after gar­ bage. “ ‘Wlu.’d’ you do fer n iivin’, may I ask?’ she says. . “ ‘Do!’ says I, musterin’ all niv dig­ nity. Tm a specialist—a specie >Vt in land.

Fortunate there was nothin’ in it about the hun­ dred dollars I owed at the livery stable fer the board o’ the flyin’ ants, but I let sleepin’ dogs lie, as the sayin’ is. “ ‘How old are you, Jake, dear?’ she says, all of a sudden as smooth as oil. “ ‘Forty-three,’ I says, perhaps be­ cause that was the figger in my mind at the moment, an’ I was shavin’ it a little, at that. “ ‘Then you’ve made a dollar a year—so far,’ says she, dropping" back to her nat’ral voice that kind o’ sounds like two millwheels an’ you be­ tween 'em. ‘You'll die before you’re sixty,’ she says; 'I can see it in your eyes,’ although I wasn't lookin’ at her, findin’ that "rather painful, ‘an' leave an estate o’ less than sixty dollars. Jake, that wouldn’t buy me an outfit fer the funeral, fer believe me I’m goin’ to do you justice when the time comes. We’re goin’ to take a home­ stead.’ “ ‘Not me,’ I says. ‘The seat o’ my democrat is as near as I want to get to a homestead. They're all right fer sod-busters, but fer a woman o’ cul­ ture—’ “I thought that would get her, but she wjjs as imperv'ous to compliments as an ox, to an oration, so to speak. “ ‘Very well,' says she. ‘If you won't,take a homestead, I will.’ “ "You can't.’ says I, with sudden boldness. ‘You ain't a widow.’ “With tiuit slid gives me another o’ those through-the-gizzard-and-nailed- to-the-wall looks o’ hers. ‘I will be, in about twenty seconds,’ she says, ‘if there’s any more discussion,’ she says. So here we are.” “Have you locateil ?” I asked Jake, when he was silent for a minute, and seemed to have dropped off into medi­ tation. . "Yep.1 It was easy fer me, knowin’ as I do ev’ry willow between the Sou­ ris an’ the Saskatch’wan." - We expressed the hope that Bella Donna would prove a sticker. “She will,” Jake prophesied. “Of course, that ain’t her real name; I jus’ gave you that fer—fer instance, an’ her first name’s Bella, so it’s halt- true. which is a pretty good average In this country. Wait ’.til you see us, a-clmrintin’ behind the flyin’ ants over to Fourteen an’ Twenty-two. I’m fig- gerin’ on organizin’ a school distric’ right away.” We gave Jake our blessing and watched him ride, off in his wobbly democrat with its spring seat up- tilted Co larboard and his fat figure settlihg down like a sack with a hat on it. Sitting on'the grassy, knoll, digest­ ing our lunch by the aid of the straws which each of us was unconsciously chewing, we watched Jake until he was a speck in the distance. “What do you make of it?” said I at last. “I’m not saying,” was Jack’s cau­ tious rejoinder. “Either he’s married, or he isn’t.” But we. had occasion to be thankful we had fallen In with Jake, for he had been able to direct us to a farmer within a day’s drive who hired both us and our oxen for the harvest, or until the beginning of threshing. It'w as the middle of October, and tliere was a crisp tang in the air night and morning, before we agajn hit the trail for Fourteen and Twenty- two. During all tiiis time we had no word from our homes, as there was no one to carry mail in or out, and it was with anxious and eager hearts that we hurried Buck and Bright along the homeward winding trail. On the second day, as we were bowling along at the iwo-and-a-half- mile-an-hour clip which - Buck and Bright considered the limit of furious driving, Jaek drew my attention to a speck on the horizon ahead of us. It grew,rapidly, and although there was no mirage this time to bring our visitor down from heaven, we soon were able to discern the scarlet uniform of the mounted police. It came along at the smart' trot to which the police horse is educated, and in half an hour Harold Brook drew up beside us. “Hello, Lane and Hall!” the police­ man greeted us. “Getting back from your harvest excursion?" So it was evident he knew we had been”away, and why. But Jack, wheth­ er he thought of this or not, answered him cordially. “We’re on the home stretch,” he ad­ mitted, ‘.‘and old Fourteen and Twen­ ty-two will look pretty good to us, after cook cars and cabooses.” The lightest kind of a smile flickered about Brook’s’lips. “And so it should,” he agreed, “with two fine girls such as adorn, your respective, homesteads. I was in the district last night.” “Were the girls well ?” I forced my­ self to say, partly because I felt my silence was beginning to , Shoutj and partly because of a real anxiety about' them. “I believe so. I didn’t see them, my­ self; came in by the south arid land­ ed first with your neighbor, Spoof. Cap­ ital chap; I stayed overnight with him, and smoked up nearly all of his Eng­ lish tobacco. At breakfast I finished his last jar of marmalade, so If Spoof is flying a flag of distress when you reach home you will know the cause of it. Imagine an Englishman without marmalade—breakfast without mar­ malade! JIy dear fellow, I’m English myself, and I—I assure you It isn’t done.” “But the girls?—” I persisted. “Oh, yes. Spoof has been keeping a neighborly eye on them. I meant to call on you, of course, but when Spoof told me you were away I stayed with him. He assured me that every­ one is fit at Fourteen and Twenty-two.” This was good news and a weight off our minds. Besides, it was evidence that in the twinges of my jealousy to­ ward Brook I fell somewhat short of doing him justice. Brook was a decent fellow, and was playing the game. “Just a suggestion,” said the police­ man, after a moment. “This is your first autumn on the prairies, and you can’t be too careful about fire. These warm days and frosty nights are the most dangerous time of the year. I found Spoof had no fire guards, so I showed him how to make them,,and I took the liberty of hinting tjiat he go over to Fourteen and Twenty-two and see that the buildings are properly protected.” We thanked Brook, and he saluted and rode aVay, his Fed tunic slowly I Held Her and Kissed Her and Would Not Let Her Go. fading out of view in the cloud of dust which his horse kicked up from the bone-dry trail. “Very decent chap, Brook,” said Jack, after a while, and I said, “Yes.” It was with a strange pounding of the heart that we at last discerned the outlines of the shacks of our little settlement. Mrs. Alton’s came first into view, then Spoof’s, then, together, the buildings on Fourteen and Twen­ ty-two. A gust of homesickness swept up and took sudden possession of me, and I realized for the first'time how much I had become attached to the little square on the thousand-mile fabric of the prairies which I had al­ ready learned to think of as home. Gaunt and bare they may be, but the prairies have a way of winding them­ selves about the heart with bands that are stronger than steel. If we had been anxious,-we were eager, too.; eager with the news of of our successful season’s work; with anticipation of the bright faces which would greet the roll of crisp new bank bills that Jack carried in an inside vest pocket reager to display the load of provisions and supplies which had been bought with part of our earn­ ings. , ■ • . We must have been fully a mile from the houses when we discerned the first evidences of life. A little figure •darted out of the shack on Twenty-two to the edge of the gully; then for a few minutes sank from sight; then reap­ peared on our side of the stream and rushed into the shack on Fourteen. Al­ most instantly two figures appeared al the door; paused for a moment, then swoope^ like wild things down the trail toward us-. And we stood, up on the top of the wagon and waved our hats and yelled like mad, until even Spoof down on section Two must have heard us. And old Buck and BrighL their phlegmatic souls at last awak­ ened by that strange power that lies at the root of all creation and which is friendship and love and all the shad­ ings of affection which lie between— or perhaps it was by the smell of the haystack at their own stables—joined in the spirit of the occasion and broke forth In a most surprising gallop, their hoofs click-clacking and their trace- chains lashing the whiffletrees as thev ran. Soon we came up, and there were the girls, wonderful, lithe, sunburned, radiant, hatless, golden hair stream­ ing in the golden light at the end of day, arms extended, white teeth gieam- ,m o c k s y il l e , n . C- in", measureless, ineffable, In the beauty and wonder of their young womanhood! We sprang from the wagon and—I don't know how it hap­ pened—Jean ran straight into my arms.' Not Marjorie—I didn’t' see what became of her-l-I didn’t-,stop to look;— Jean ran straight into my arms. I held her there, held her with the strength of ten weeks’ harvesting In my muscles and of all my young hot boyhood in my veins; held her and kissed her and would not let her go. , . . For the first t^me since we had been little children together, playing by the dam where the water- wheel across the river tossed its danc­ ing diamonds in the air, I held her and kissed her and would not let her go. Across the fields of crisp and brittle grass we trudged together, disregard­ ing the trail and the measureless swoon of that sunset world as we swept home­ ward on the .flood-tide of our happi­ ness. Her firm little’ arm pressed tight against mine and our limbs swung to­ gether in the rhythm of our stride. And when I looked down in her face I saw a light that was not altogether the glint of the setting sun. But in that most poetic moment' of her life Jean forgot to be poetic. Once more she slipped her arm about me. “Gee, it’s good to have yon home again,” she said. And in what should have been my supreme hour I found myself wonder­ ing whether Jean's passion was love or just plain loneliness. CHAPTER IX That was a busy night on Fourteen. The girls confessed that they had been on the lookout for us since the first of the month. They had even borrowed Spoofs field glass so that they could sweep the horizon to the eastward far beyond Mrs. Alton’s. “He’s the strangest sort' of chap, is Spoof,” said Jean. “Will you believe me, he hasn’t been inside this house since you left? Used to walk over from time to time, and see that the pigs and the cows were living in har­ mony. and that the fuel had not given out', but was always in a rush home again. Never saw such a man for work; quite different from what he used to be.” Jack looked his sister over with an eye that did not reserve all its ap­ proval for Marjorie. “We thought you would have been an accomplished banjoist by now,” he said. “Not a lesson—not a single lesson in all this time,” Jean grumbled. “And now I suppose he’ll be over tomorrow to indulge us with the pent-up leisure of two months!” Jean’s naivette was little greater than mine. We had been brought up with a sound training in the rudiments of behavior, but with little knowledge of its social complexities. JIy feeling in the matter was a mixed sense of surprise that our neighbor, usually so friendly, had field aloof at a time when he was particularly needed, and of an­ noyance that Jean should be so ob­ viously put out about it. The girls had a strange treat in re­ serve for us. It was Jean who told us of it, although, as it seemed to me, her manner suggested a certain lack of frankness very unlike Jean. It seemed that a few days before our return a jack rabbit had loped up within easy distance of the shanty door, where he perked himself on his hind legs, taking observations. Jfar- jorie took the gun down from the wall, aimed it with great deliberation, and fired. . Jean declared that the rabbit was not hit, but that he died of fright. Be that as it may, he furnished the filling for a very deep and tempting rabbit pie. “And only to think,” said Jean, her bright eyes dancing, “it would scarce­ ly have kept any longer. We were managing to freeze it a little at nights, but it would thaw out during the day.” “I don’t know but it is a little over­ kept as it is,” JIarjorie admitted, “but we’re going to eat it tonight.” And so we sat about our little table, with the great rabbit pie In the middle, and, great helpings of white potatoes and onions on our plates, and flaky white bread and yellow homemade butter w'ithin reach, and the light beating down from an oil lamp on the wall, and would not have changed places-with anyone on earth. The next day revealed changes in the neighborhood which we had not had time to' notice or discuss in the evening. A number of settlers had come in. The girls had not seen any of them, but could give almost as accurate descriptions as though they had. It seems Spoof had come over to Fourteen every Sunday afternoon during our absence, and, for all the shyness against which Jean had pro­ tested, he had managed to regale the girls with the gossip of the commu­ nity, for our two little shacks -were really becoming the, center of a neigh­ borhood. From Spoof they learned that the Browns had .landed from England witb three children and hard­ ly anything else,, and had built a shack’ on the southwest quarter of Four. Mr. Brown had been a game­ keeper In England. His wife 'was a wistful tittle body who seemed likelv to have plenty to wist over before her children were raised on the living that a gamekeeper would wring from the soil. On the northwest of Eighteen- just four miles west of us, a Scottish shipbuilder named Smith had located He appeared to be unmarried. Three miles north of us, on Thirty-four a Swede named Hansen had built a shanty twelve feet square, in which he was housed with his wife and six children, and on Thirty-six a Russian bad dug himself a sort of cave In the bank of the gully. He, too, had a wife and numerous offspring, but the exact number had not yet been ascer- tained.“Ay tank thar bane plenty,” Ole Hansen had said, when discussing the subject with Spoof. And as Ole re­ garded his own six hopefuls as “yust a nice commence,” the imagination was rather stirred by the possibili ties of what the cave on Thirty-six might disclose to the census tqker. “How do you say his name?” Spoof had inquired. “Yah don’ say i t Yah sneeze i t ” Ole explained. "Sneezit—that’ll do,” said Spoof. And so, quite without his knowledge or consent, our Russian neighbor was supplied with an English name; a name which may some d a y —who knows?—be borne with pride by one of our best families. Then there was Burke, an Ameri­ can from Iovga, a man with a lust for labor and .for doing things on a big scale. He and his wife had landed on section Twenty about the middle of August, and, ignoring the tradition that it is useless to break prairie sod in the fall, had already turned over a broad strip from end to end of their quarter.section. Burke it was who in­ troduced mules into the settlement. From what the girls were able to gather from Spoof mules called for an even more extended vocabulary than did oxen. , “And you want us to believe that Spoof told you all these tilings with­ out ever coming into the house?” I challenged. “Never a foot over the doorstep,” said Jean. “That is, hardly ever. It’s a big country; why be so particular for a foot or two?” "Oh, Fm not; not at all.. I’m mere­ ly checking up what you said last night.” “In my intoxication over your re­ turn ! How could you, Frank?” And with that I had to be satisfied. “But the best is yet!” Marjorie ex­ claimed. “Guess who’s married?!’ “Jake!” we answered together. “Oh, somebody .told. Yes, Jake. He and his wife are settled on Sixteen. They’ve a little shack -up, and Jake is farming the community, as he calls it. ‘Acquaintances,’ he’ says, ‘are about all I’ll be able to cultivate this year.’ He spends most of his time at Spoof’s, but I don't notice thai Spoof’s work goes along any quickel on that account. TheycaIIed on us a couple of times—Jake and his wife, I mean; they have the advantage over the other settlers of having a light wagon and a team of ponies, which make it easy for ■ them to get about. Mrs. Jake impresses one as being angular and competent, with perhaps more heart in her than her appear­ ance would suggest They say it was an agency match.” At that point we took up the story with Jake’s account of his courtship and wedding, censored, of course, to suit the audience. “That’s mostly lies,” said Marjorie, in her matter-of-fact way. “He ad­ vertised for her all right, but he went to Minneapolis to meet her, and it was only when he promised to go on a homestead that she consented to come. She told me that much; said she’d had enough of the town, and wanted to get away from everything and everybody. She has a touch of humor, too; said, ‘I guess that's what I did, all. right, when I came out on the bald-headed with Jake.’ ” “But the telegram? He had her telegram.” “He must have faked th at Ht knew he would meet you boys before he went back, and he had a story made up to show himself in the best light possible.” “How about Mrs. Alton?” I asked “She doesn’t come out. We’ve gone over a couple of times, and she re­ ceives us with great friendliness, but when we ask her to return > our visit she always makes out that she can’t leave the boy. Of course she could bring him with her, so that is only an excuse. For some reason sbe wants to stick close to her home­ stead.” Frank doesn’t seem to be get­ ting along very fast in his woo­ ing. . Is he going to win or'lose? (TO BE CONTINUED.) Tested Patrons’ Hospitality Stepping into a taxicab the other day,. says the Paris IntransigeanL a fare discovered a package of choco­ late lying on the seat. Without hesi­ tation he put it In his pocket, paid the chauffeur, adding a good pourbolre, and was about to depart when the driver called out; “What about,my chocolate?” “Your chocolate?” queried the clienL greatly taken aback. Then the chauf­ feur explained that he was testing the honesty of his fares, and of eleven whom he had carried that morning only two had ihformed him that a package of chocolate was lying on the seat.

SOME GOOD COMMON DISHES When it is hard to think of some thing for desert, try this one: Blueberry Pud. ding.—Lay slices of (not too dry) bread after but-, tering well, into a deep dish. Pour over enough blue­ berries very hot, juice and. all, to cover well. Sef away to chill or bake in a quick oven and serve with cream and sugar. Fried Apples and Onions.—Slicetart apples and half as many onions. Put tlie onions on to coolv in a spoonful or two of fat; when nearly tender add the apples and a little water. Cook until all are well browned. Salt and sugar are added for seasoning. Fruit Cocktail.—Scoop apples that have been peeled with a potato cutter into balls, cook in a sugar sirup until tender, cool and serve with melon balls, pineapple, pears, peaches and cherries. Any combination one’s taste suggests will be good. Add Ieinon rind and jnice to the sirup and pour over enough to flavor and sweeten each cocktail. With the fields full of the delicious field mushroom' in many places one has at hand a great delicacy. Stew them in butter, add cream and serve on toast. When putting up sweet cucumber pickles this fall peel, cut into half-incli rin.is. then with a small cutter cut out the center with the seei!s They are' much more attractive to serve and are not much work to prepare. Vanilla Ice Cream With Pears.—On a slice of brick ice cream lay half of a preserved pear. Ponr over it a sauce which lias been colored pink with cin- Miiiftii ('!indies. Dponnite the pear with browned almonds, serve at once. Hot Beef Sandw!sh.—HeattiiegrnVy from the roast and in this Iny a slice or two of thinly sliced roast: when heated lay on a sllee of buttered bread and coyer with another slice. Pour the hot gravy over all and serve. Fillets of Fish.—Wipe fillets and brush with butter, add salt and pepper and lay in a baking dish. Surround w’tli hoiled potatoes, cover with a white sauce and bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. - Food That Is Li’csd. As mushrooms are usually plentiful in most-places up to the frost-killing time, try a dish combin­ ing the mushrooms with sweetbreads. Saute the sweetbreads In a little butter until well cooked— five minutes will suffice; tneyi should have been previously psrboiled in slightly acidulated water. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, mix with the same amount of flour and pour on gradually one capful of chicken stock. Clean and saute the mushrooms In a little but­ ter, add to the sweetbreads and the sauce, season well, add one-fourth of a cupful <lf whipped cream and one- half teaspoonful of beef extract. Add a dash of lemon juice and serve in ramekins covered with buttered crumbs. Brown in the oven.. Corn Toast.—Cook one-fourth of a tablespoonful of fairly chopped onion with one and one-half tablespoonfuls of butter two ntinutes, stirring con­ stantly. Add one cupful of sweet corn cut from the cob and lightly cook for five minutes in just water to cook without burning; add salt and pepper, and one pint of tlii|/k cream; simmer for five minutes 'and pour over six slices of buttered toast cut into rounds. Garnish with toast points and parsley. Pepper Relish.—Remove the seeds from six red and six green peppers; cut away all the white inner fiber'; add six peeled onions and let stand five minutes. Drain, add one' cupful of sugary two tablespoonfuls of salt and one and one-half cupfuls of vinegar. Bring to the boiling point and boil 20 minutes. Seal In gf&ss jars. ^ t ^ j u x - 4 . iw v 2 . Long V/inter Nisht The period of winter darkness in Spitzber-gen, northern Norway, begins on October 26 and continues until February 17. Tlie midnight sun rises above the horizon on April 10 and sinks below on Augufjt 24. During the summer the temperature varies from 37 degrees to 50 degrees F., and in winter it drops as low as 40 degrees below zero; the mean annual temper­ ature is about 16 degrees F. • Because of the dryness of the air the low tem­ peratures do not cause the penetrating chill that they would in more humid regions.- ... First Psychoanalyst Dies In the. death of Prof. Josef Breur recently at Vienna, the world lost the original psychoanalyst. He was. ac­ knowledged by Sigmund Freud to have been the founder of that science and v'hile the two collaborated in the early days, Breur could not follow Freud in his later developments, though their personal friendship continued. Breur was eighty-three, and he worked with Freud,' a younger man, in “Studies In Hysteria," which appeared in 1893.“ AS FOK new ideas in fall styles, we are In the same case as the old woman who lived in a shoe, and had so many children she didn’t know what to do. Stylists sent out such a numerous progeny of new ideas to storm the citadel of simplicity that they are running all over the place. But they are,a good looking company, and -thereby prove their right to be here. The flare and the molded bodice are crowding the straight line, the two-piece mode has established a place for itself in all sorts of apparel—for sports, street, afternoon or evening wear. Long sleeves and many varied neck lines prove how becoming they can be, and throughout the whole sea­ son’s offerings, individual colors and fabrics seem made fgr each other. ' Here is a new arrival among after­ noon dresses that furthers the cause. transacting most of the business ot living. What has fate in store for us In the way of substantial, everyday, smart tailored clothes? Can we be faithful to our old friend the plain two-piece suit and still not look old- timey ? These are the questions that prompt fair ladies to send letters i f inquiry to fashion writers. The coat frock, the tailored frock, to be worn with a separate coat in cold weather and jumper dresses have di­ vided attention between themselves and the tailored suit so far this fall. The tailored frock in men’s suiting or hairline stripes In fashionable blues -or brown;, with trim, plain lines and surplice fastening. Is an imported idea that exactly suited American women—and the times—and it has been a great success. The neck is round and the sleeves long, finished 1 9 - mm NEW ARRIVAL AMONG AFTERNOON DRESSES of fall styles with great. force; for several of the most ambitious of the new ideas, Jiefore mentioned, contrib­ ute to its charm. It is made of velvet and is very cleverly cut. The required skirt fullness is placed at the front, where rows of sliirrings form a short band. The bodice manages to sug­ gest the bolero and molded lines and Is finished with scallops edged with fine ecru lace and small fancy buttons. The collar and cuffs of crepe detchine are edged with the same lace. Velvet is the best of all mediums for some of the new fashionable colons, as royal blue, Russian green, damson purple, “black prince” (a- deep maroon) and rosewood. This frock would be suc­ cessful In any of them or In, navy, brown or black. In any color It reaches usually with round collar and gauntlet cuffs of substantial lace, detachable and, of course, washable. This dress has all tlie characteristics that endear the plain tailored suit to us, but it is a little more colorful and a little less mannish. Many other styles in tai­ lored frocks are shown but none of them is so near of kin to the plain tailored suit. There are two-piece suits of twill, covert cloth or tweed, with tweed apparently the favorite. In these choice lies between the box- coat fype and those In which some­ thing of a flare is introduced. They usually, have notched collars and are as plain as possible, except that lhe skirts may harbor a few flat plaits. Occasionally covert-clotli suits are bound with braid. But suits that are - j■ - AI^EXAMPLE OF THE SMARTNESS OF PLAIDS the apex of elegance, but contrives to look youthful—with a subtlety that is cleverly disguised. Note that fine, black kid pumps, with large, cut steel buckles and sheer black silk hose support the class of the costume and that the coiffure is dignified and simple. Next to velvet, crepe satin makes the richest .of afternoon frocks, but velvet combines best with ^he metallic cloths now fashionable Two-piece dresses in which the skirt,is of chiffon velvet and the upper part of metallic cloth help vary the modes for after­ noon. -Uneasy lies the head that has not determined what sort of tailored frock or suit it shall select and where­ withal its owner shall be clothed for distinctively of this season’s inspira­ tion are made of plain and plaid fab­ rics combined—the skirt of the plaid material, with ifiverted plait at the front ,stitched down as far as tha knees and released therfe. The coat i~ cut with, a decided flare and.is made of the plain cloth lined with plaid. A vest In a plain high color with high collar and buttoned ail the way from collar to bottom, is an important item In this composition. Another example of the smartness of plaids In the tai­ lored mode appears in the illustration. This is a one-piece frock with a cape td match. The collar, vestee and cuffs of scalloped linen are individual touches that make It distinctive JULIA BOTTOMLEY. . (©, 1925, Western Newspapfir Union.)

After my first child was bom about four years ago I saw an . advertisement in the paper about the Vegetable Compound. Iknew it would help me, but I was afraid to ' try it because people said it would help you to have children and I knew I was having children fast enough.

It is for such disabled veterans, their widows and orphans, that the Legion and leading citizens are now raising the national American Legion endowment fund. Mrs. Williams’ story of the dtath Is In part as follows: “The best excuse for my Flory is that it is true, every word of it. At the little hotel wheiT I was living in the town near the Iiig government hos-. pital in the Kentucky hills. I first met Julie, a pale wisp of babyhood, three years old, and Julie’s -mother. Julie’s mother, one of the ‘hosiiital widows’ at tlie hotel, was the type of wife whose husband calls her ‘Babe.’ Slie was a dinging little creature, pretty •md so dependent, with but two great points of interest in her life—Julie and Ruddy Ruddy was Julie’s father who lay in the hospital.

It Tlie past i’ew -months have been our dull months with chickens. About all we could do was to raise a flock of good pullets for winter egg produc­ tion. Any man, who has tried raising poultry knows that the last few months have called for extra effort on our part. But the time will soon be here when we are going to reap what we have been sowing, writes J. JV. Recknor, Jr., in the Farm and Ranch. The pullets will shell out the eggs and the price will soar higher as cold weather comes on* Our dull months, you see, have been our hard-working months. But to reap what is due us we must not Iqy down on the job now as cool weather approaches. The thing to do is to get everything in the best shape possible to clean up some cash this winter. The merchant puts his store in the best shape possible, cleans up and improves as much as he can, so as to be prepared for the fail business. Here is where his* profits pile up. During the dull season he gets by, perhaps, but he counts on the business this fall for extrii profits. Clean up the old store. That is, -•till out the nonproducers from the flock. Get rid of the drones. Keep nothing on the yards, except money­ makers. Tuni all the shoddy goods in the market man, and hit the fall anil winter months, with a flock of healthy, vigorous bread-winners that bring in the dough. If you have a large flock and you are afraid to do the culling, then get the assistance of some one who has had some experi­ ence. It pays to cull. You get the -Tinie number of eggs on less feed and house room. The nonlayers eat up vour profits and crowd the producers. Get rid of them. If you are not feeding the birds as you should, get them on a good ration at once, as the pullets must lie in con­ dition to lay. If you have bred-to-Iay chickens and you have done your part in keeping the pullets growing all summer and you continue to give them the rielif kind of attention, you need not fear hut what .von will be reward­ ed this fall and winter with a heavy egg production.. Feeding right has much to do with a laying hen. She can’t lay unless Iier food contains all the elements tlmt .go to make up an egg, and in the right proportions at that. An egg ration will have to be fed through the winter. It might pay to look into your feeding methods. Sometimes, by doing this, a mistake can lie detected.before it is too late. Handling of Fullets in Autumn Requires Skill No one tiling, requires 'more skill than the correct handling of a Hock of pnPcis so that a maximum yield, of eggs "ry he obtained all winter. First of nil, the birds mr.st be fat as this giyes them the necessary strength and emt-i-nce. To have them fat, large qunrfifies of hard grain must be fed. TlJt ce-fourths of the food they con­ sume chould be hard grain. It is !lot ms ’- r-wtant during the latter part of tneir development that they have as in- ’ ,msh as when ready to lay. If mi’k is fed, very little mash is neces- sr’.'“ 'rhey should have plenty of green rood at all times. ' When the first eggs arc found on the range, at least one-third or oue- hglf. of the birds best developed should be placed In their winter quarters. If til-- birds are allowed to remain very Iout on the range after starting to Ir 7*\ the change to winter houses Is sure to clieck them and may eanse a full molt. When the remaining birds show maturity, they should be put In winter quarters qlso. Caution in Culling Is Urged by a Poultryman Practically every rule has its excep­ tion. “Early molting birds are poor layers,” say experienced poultrymen. This is true in the main, but there are exceptioqs. N. E. Chapman, poultryman with the agricultural extension service, Uni­ versity of Minnesota, points out that many farm flocks went into a prema­ ture molt early In* June because of lock of feed, hot poultry houses at night, pnd depredations of mites. Egg production by these flocks fell off rap­ idly, but as sufficient feed is supplied and poultry houses properly ventilated and the mites exterminated, the flocks are gradually increasing production. “When culling such flocks, each hen should be carefully/ studied for evi­ dence that the molt is about to sub­ side,:’ says Mr. Chapman. “The best hens will come back and they ou"ht to have their chance."The poorest ones .will, of course, continue to molt -and should be discarded.” Balanced Dry Mash The use of a balanced dry mash containing 2 per cent ground Iim t stone in addition to the hopper of oyster shells will usually prevent the production of soft-shelled eggs A failure of the egg-making organs to function properly might c au se L n shelled hggs. S.’ch hens have%o tlocated uy the, trap nest or by obsei-. ration in small flocks.

Some one has said that the "Welcome Visitors” Sign that can seen in most every town and1 city means but little and really wonders if the right kind of welcome is indeed extended to visitors and strangers or whether the whole thing is superficial and a matter of form. We knew of a young man going to a smill city in this State who lived in tne town of more than six mouths before he was ever in­ vited to a church and even the tne lodge of which he was a mem­ ber failed to take any notice of him whatever although he was bedeck ed in lodge emblems like a gypsy queen. Another instance we know of a man coming to a town from a- nother city where he had been rather prominent but there was -no welcome sign for him.' No one asked him to join iu any of the, clubs, 110 one invited hitn to church and although he was well acqauint- ed with quite a-number of people residing in his new home not a .-,ingle one asked him to make them a social call. No, the welcome signs are misnomers, a farce, a de­ lusion and ashatn in mo t instances. In this fast age every one is look­ ing out for himself and takes no time to extend a welcome to the new comers. But they 'should take down their signs and stop fooling the people.---Union Republican. Another Cold Winter Prediction. J. H. Hill, of Spartanburg, S. G . who counts himself somewhat of a weather prophet comes forth with the prediction tha't the coming win­ ter is to be of the severest kind He looks for 12 big snow and advises that everyone fill their coal bins He gits his dope from the "signs” of the times: ‘A cold winter is aporoaching; prepare bridge timbers for the win ter floods and fill the coal bins a- gainst snows ' “Studying nature, herbs, insects, and plants for nearly 2J years, in Tabling through the swamps.

The board of t,he North Carolina Women Voters League, met in Greensboro, Friday, and decided that they would make a determined effort to have the next legislature enact the. Australian ballot law in North Carolina Additional branch leagues will he put on in order to get men elected to the legislature who will have the secret ballot written into the laws of the State. If a real genuine Australian bal­ lot law is wanted by the women and can he enacted into law in this State all well and good but for a set of legislators to place a cowardly make shift of a law on the people as,.was done in the case of Stanly, Alexand­ er. Catawba, Surry and other Re­ publican counties of the State by a set of thieving, designing. Demo­ cratic politicians is a travesty and a mockery and the honest decent peo­ ple of £he State want none of it.— Union Republican________ 86 Years In One House. Muncie, Ind..

The latest thing in the way of a suit for a damages turns up in Charlotte, when Jeanette Fridley, who describes herself as a "comely woman” brings suit against a Char­ lotte department store for $10,000 damages, alleging “that she. for­ merly was possessor ot and enjoyed a goodlysuit of\iair which great­ ly addeaito and enforced hei physi­ cal attractions, comfort, beauty and material welfare," but after having same treated at the beauty parlor conducted by Efird’s department store, ctrtain chemicals used caus- ad the beautiful tresses to "change color and cause the hair to break and fall from the scalp, which caused it to be required to cut and clip closely.” As bobbed hair is tile fashion, and the closer some women can cut it to be more like men, this Charlotte ladvshould not complain too much, certainly not $10,000 worth. But it has got to be these days that damages are asked for most everything in the category. Wanted to Die Like Christ. An amusing story, said to be true, comes from Wilson, in which three local men of that city play the pro­ minent part, these being a farmer, leading attorney attorney and emi­ nent physician Ttie farmer, who was as straight as a string and never allowed him­ self to owe any man for any length of time, and who loved his morning nips as well as any man who ever 'looiied upon ihe wine when it is red”—perhaps as well as .did his pro- f -ssional friendjs—after, being confin- e I to his bed for a considerable time came to the conclusion that perhaps ne had bent his elbow too often and let the juice of the apple lricle down his gullet in large qualities .than was good for the inner man. He was made conscious that the time was near for him to prepare for crossing the "great divide.” With this -premonition in mind, and wishing to die as he had lived, he sent for his lawyer and doctor. When tne professional men arrived at his home he called the doctor to his bedside and sid: "Doc, I am a- fraid my time has come; don’t Iiesi tate to tell me what you-think ” The doctor was frank and told him the Death Angel was hovering near Aftercallinghiswife to his , bed­ side, the farmer said to the doctor, "Come to the right side and take niy hand,” and to ihe lawyer "Get on the opposite and take my left hand.” Then he inquired of both. "Do you know how much I owe you?” On heing informed, lie command­ ed his wife to pay both at once, and then exclaimed: "I want to die as did Christ, between two thieves!” Land posters at this office. \ How Do So Many Filling Stations Live? The great number of gasoline filling stations in the towns a n d ., cities, and the unnufnbered stations f: on the highways within short dis­ tance of each other , cause many people to ask and wonder how all these filling stations manage to exist^ 7 "Filling stations! Filling sta­ tions! Gn every hand.” says the North Carolina Christian Advocate, "people are sitting at street corn­ ers ancf by the roadside waiting to fill the;gas tanks and oil the crank­ shafts. The cars that crowd the streets and that hurry along the highways are all racing to the till ing stations. The population of the United States, like all Gaul, is now divided into three parts, those who are in the hospitals. We have heard of the'stone age and of the cave man, but this is the age of the filling stat’on and of the gas man. It has been said that 'money makes the mare go,’ but now it's gas and grease that moves the world and not the hand that rocks the cradle.” Once they married in haste aud repented iu leisure; uow they mar­ ry in haste aud repent at work. The most peculiar thing about women wearing knickers is they button them below the knees. Salviog the Country Church Pro­ blem. For some time’ the question of what is to become of the country church has been uppermost in the minds of the several denominations Small churches scattered about over the county, unable to pay a full time pastor are on the verage of disinte gration and the matter has bfeen Jiving Christian workers much con­ cern. Since the advent of the auto­ mobile and good roads people living in the country are not concerned' a- bnut having a church right at thtir door. They can go 10, 20, or 30 miles or even 50 with ease^- Rev. E N. Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church, at Duuu. has re­ cently closed a unique meeting, at Ingold, Sampson county, which may have far reaching results as to the ultimate fate of the 3mall country church. Five churches united in the meet ing, which was held in the audito rititn of the school building at logold The churches were Lisbon,, Union Grove, Ebenezer, Ceuterand Spring­ dale. A movement was put on font looking to the consolidation of these churches, or as many of them as may desire to go into such an ar­ rangement. A majority of the men- bers of the strongest of,these church­ es have^exuressed a desire for cons, - lidation. Each of the churches will I act. on the matter.—Union Republi Treat Colds Externally Money by (be Keg Full. A most unusual deposit was re ceived by a Groenville, Pitt county, hank a few davs ago The batik re ceived a telephone call to send to country store 30 odd miles away in Martin county near the Pitt countv line, where the informant advised the cashier he had a considerable sum of money which he wished to deposit. Knowing the caller to be a re­ sponsible person, an employe was soon on his way with sufficient prr. tection to assure his safe return. Having gon° prepared to receive a quantity of currency the bank em ploye was surprised to find the coun­ try merchant in waiting with sever al kegs in a wheelbarrow containing only silver and of every denomina­ tion known to he in - existence De­ siring to keep the kegs for the fu­ ture use, a cement sack was procur­ ed and the momey poured into it- which was of a bushel size In ac­ cepting his deposit slip, on which there was no specific/ amount., the would-be miser stated that one of the kegs had been hoarded for more than five years, and that he seldom made a deposit of his silver receipts. Upon arrival at the bank, the task of ascertaining the amount was placed upon three experienced count First Im piiressions Some people judge by im­ pressions—and so it is always well to make good impres­ sion.

Davie Gets New Pastors. The Methodist Conferencewhich has been in session at- Statesville the past week, adjourned Mondav afternoon.

Dr. Abel Anderson, for more than tw o. score years a beloved figure in the medial profession in this section, one of the rapidly dis appearing country doctors of the old type, passed to his rest at an early hour Wednesday morning at his home at Denton. He had been helpless after a stroke of paralysis for some days and his death was not unexpected. Dr. Anderson was born in Davie county nearly seventy years ago Green to East Salisbury unable to learn the name new pastor at Advance. So far as we i an recall there has been but one wealthv man electro­ cuted in North Carolina for mnr der since tine electric chair was ill- stalled. It seems that electricity won’t kill some folks, especially those who have plenty of money and much influence. The verriict in the Cole murder case was not surprising to a num­ ber of folks. The local poj ulation here were badly divided. Some of them wanted Cole turned loose, some wanted hi 'i electrocuted while manv thought he should go to the penitentiary for life. ' We don’t know any of the twelve jurymen who served on toe jury that tried Cole for the murd er of Ormand. We suppose they are good and true men. If we are ever unlucky enough to have to be tried for murder we would like to have that jury if they are not otherwise engaged. Since the world series and the Cole murder case have been settled to the satisfaction of some and the disgust of others the country can move along with nothing much to worry over except the semi-montn- Iv cotton report that is claddiest by the Government aud causes the bottom to fall out eveiy time said report is issued. ';.Most of the newspapers in North Carolina have been very out-spok­ en in expressing their opinion of the verdict in the Cole case. Some­ body made a big mistake or our laws need revising or patching up. We heard a gentleman remark dur­ ing the Cole trial, that if Cole was turned loose every person in North Carolina who had been electrocut­ ed ought to be able to rise up out of their grave and demand an apo­ logy from the state for killing them. Methodists Vote For Unification. Statesville, Oct. 15.—By a vote of 221 to 145 the Western North Carolina conference of the Me bo- disc Episcopal church, south, in session here today expressed itself favorably toward the proposed plan of unification. The second day of the session opened with the devotional service, Bishop Collins Denny conducting the same.

IEE MEN DIE Kr THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. FATALLY b u rn e d b e fo r e t h e y COULD BE RESCUED FROM WRECK. New Salem, Pa.—Three men met death when an army airplane crashed on the Buffington farm here. The victims were burned to death. According to eye witnesses the plane, while passing over the Buffing­ ton farm exploded and crashed, catch­ ing fire before it struck the ground. Three occupants were burned fatally before they could be taken from the bla2ing mass of wrttckage. Clothes, worn by the victims were burned from the todies and it was impossible to ascertain if they’had been dressed in array uniforms. Re­ ports here were that the plane was from Washington. Davton, Ohio.—The three fliers kill­ ed in the air accident at New Salem, Pa were partially identified by Wilbur Wright, field officers, as Lieut. George H Burgess of that field and Maurice Hutton and Verne Timmerman of the Davton Herald staff. The three had piloted the “Honeymoon Express” to the air races at New York and were returning to Dayton. The “Honeymoon Express" was Vuilt by the Dayton Wright company during the world war and was said to have been condemned several times hv inspectors. It was one of the obsolete types hit by Co!. William Mitchell in his testimony before the aircraft investigating board. North Carolina Leads in Farms. Washington.—North Carolina led the southern states in the rate of in­ crease in number of farms, according to a preliminary announcement of the 125 farm census by the department of commerce. According to the survey, the number of farms in the United I States has decreased 75,735 since 1920, !which placed the total at 6,372,608.I The decrease was not general, some !sections reporting declines while In- Icreases were shown in others. In the southern states North Caro- |lina had the largest rate of increase kin number of farms, 5.1 per cent. In !figures this amounted to 283,495 farms |in the 1925 census, as compared with 269 763 in 1920, or an increase of 13,- p 2 farms. ,m Texas, with 466,420 farms, led the Hfield in the 1925 census, and also had sfthe greatest increase, 30,387, over the £1920 figure. Its rate of increase, 7 7per cent, was not the highest, how- stever Nevada, with. 23.7 per cent, Iead- Sing In this respect, with 3,912 farms sin 1925, as compared with 3,163 in 111920. „ The greatest decrease in the num­ b e r of farms was reported? in Georgia, !where the total dropped from 310,732 |in 1920 to 249,098 this year; a decline ®of 19-8 per cent. ' The Dirtrict of Co- blumbia, which confined the smallest anumber of farms, had a higher per­ centage of decrease, however, having Ianly 139 farms in 1925 as compared Iwith 204 in 1920. Jsj Europe's Security Convention Ends, jf-v Locarno, Switzerland. — Europe s '->» great security convention eneded in a ^victory for peace.. At exactly 7:20 the European states- 'gt men who made this victory possible, f"tthrqw open a window on the second —' floor of the palace of justice, anfl.re- .ijif, jecting decocrum, announced to the waiting multitude that the Rhine pact and other treaties had been formally ,approved. Instantly the crowd gave vent to ' enthusiasm. Rockets were sent into "the air and the appearance at the window of M. Briand, the French for- |eign minister, was greeted with pro- |7onged cheering. When the British I Foreign Secretary, Austen Chamber- | Un came and waved his hand, the !crowd clamored for-a speech. Chan- S cellor Luther and the German Foreign I Minister, Dr. Stresemann were ac- J claimed with no less fervor. M. Briand’s speech at the closing i session of the conference, which ad- * journed with, the understanding that ■ the treaties will be signed in London, j December I, was. qualified by his col- J leagdes afterward as the most brief M of his long coreer. IH Dr. Stresemann had spoken first. H Summarizing the work of the con- II ference and amphasizing that its III success spelled a new era in European I relationships, he declared solepinly j that Germany would loyally live up to the peace pact. He made a discreet I allusion to foreign occupation of the Rhineland. Asheville Chosen Next .City. Washington.—Asheville, 'N. C., was chosen for the next convention of the National Association of Railroad and Public Utility commissioners to meet October 9. The association, in a resolution adopted at United States concluding session, recommended to Congress that the interstate commerce commission given jurisdiction oyer ship lines operating in the Panama canal zone to check rate-cutting between ships and roailroads in the Canal zone and between the ship lines themselves. ***•**•••***•***•**« * FOUR ARE KILLED IN • * RAILROAD CRASH. * * * * Pomona, Calif.—Four persons • * were killed and a firth was prob- • * ably fatally injured near here when * * Southern Pacific express train * * struck an automobile.

Paris—M. Callaux, newly returned from his debt funding labors at Wash­ ington, presented his report at a cab­ inet council and at the conclusion of the three hour discussion Premier Painleve said: “The project M. CalIaux brought back from America will be thoroughly studied. Negotiations with the United States will continue.” The cabinet will meet again Tues­ day further to examine the finance minister's statement on the Washing­ ton negotiations and it is likely to be reexamined at a ministerial council a week from Tuesday, after the conven­ tion of the radical party at Nice, which M. Caillaux is to address. On leaving Elysee palace, M. Cail- Iaux emphasized the fact that the whole of the inter-allied debts problem was still in the “stage of study,” not­ ably the projected provisional agree­ ment with the United States, which had not been decided upon one way or the other. Some of the ministers mentiined that Mr. Caillaux had a lengthy re­ sume .of “conditions of internal policy which determined the opinion of Amer­ ican politicians in power,” and said he laid stres son the attitude of Sen­ ator Borah, “who exercises great authority over the colleagues in the American sente.” - His cabinet colleagues brought out the various points of America’s pro­ visional agreement from the viewpoint of France's financial situation. The ministers declared themselves so im­ pressed with the importance of a de­ cision, acceptance or refusal, that they decided all possible consequences ought to be thoroughly weighed before replying to Washington.- This decision can not officially be made before October 20 ,the date of the next ministerial council at Slysee. Paris newspapers apparently are not at all satisfied. The Temps in a long editorial deplores that the generation of young Americans like Alan Seeger, Kiffan Rockwell and Victory Chapman (all dead in the great war) “had been succeeded—it was inevitable—by those who county pounds and dollars.” Senator Henry Berenger, budget re­ porter of the senate and one of the French mission to Washington, writ­ ing in The Matin, lays stress on the influence of the West and Midwest in the United States senate. He des­ ignates Senator Borah as ‘a‘n Jrish- German” and generalizes on Minne­ sota, Wisconsin and Nebraska which, he asserts, “are almost exclusively populated by citizens of German origin.” Arctic Explorers Giyen Welcome. Portland, Maine.—Commander Don­ ald B. MacMillan and the 38 members of his arctic exploration expedition, scientists, aviators and seam'en, were welcomed home by a program of en­ thusiasm which, extended from Wis- cassett to this'city. Given more than usual disappoint-, ment by the worst summer the na­ tives remember in the north, beset and delayed along the entire homeward route by gales which culminated in that which kept not only the expedi­ tion but nearly 60 friends and rela­ tives, marooned on the small wind­ swept Mongehan island, the attitude of them all was expressed by Com­ mander MacMillan when he .said at a luncheon given him here, “This room looks good to us.” This last day of the expedition was a long one. The crews were astir be­ fore the ships at 4 o’clock were pre­ paring for' a run to the mainland which the expected break in the gale would permit. From 20 or more homes on Mone- ghan island where they had found shelter, the band of relatives, friends and newspaper men gathered in the intese darkness preceding the dawn about the windswept dock where the Peary lay. Shortly after 5 o'clock the expedition got under way. Cotton Estimates Demoralize Trade. New York.—Edjvard E. Bartlett,, for­ mer president of the New. York Cotton exchange, considers thta the last gov­ ernment cotton report has convinced the cotton trade of the futility of the present system of mid-monthly crop estimates and has .demonstrated that the early season estimate of the crop reporting -bureau is "nothing more tran a guess.” What was theoretically intended for a service and guide to the trade, he said, has proved in practice a failure gnd positive detriment. _________ __ DEAlH U S SEH S. M. RALSTON PASSES AWAY AT INDIANA HOME AFTER LONG ILLNESS. mdianapolis.—Samuel M. Ralston, United States senator . from Indiana, died at his country home north of this city. He would have been 68 years old December I. Death came to the' statesman at the place he loved best, "Hoosier Home,” located just outside the city limits of Indianapolis. Immediate members of the family,-who had been forewarned of the senator’s condition, were present. Senator Ralston’s death was pre­ ceded by disease of the kidneys. He returned from Washington last March in ,poor health. On September 5 his condition be­ came aggravated and he was ordered to bed by his physicians. His condition became alarming early this month when uraemic poison­ ing developed and recently his life had hung by a slender thread. Senator Ralston, a democrat, de­ feated Albert J. Beveridge, republican nominee at the senatorial election in 1922. He was elected governor of Indiana for a four year term in 1912. His name was presented to the last democratic national convention as a candidate for the presidential nomina­ tion and at one time it seemed pos­ sible he would receive the honor and break the long deadlock between the Smith and McAdoo forces. His in­ sistence that his name be withdrawn took him from the contest. Death occurred shortly - after 11 o’clock. Virtually every member of his family was at the bedside and nearly a score of his business asso­ ciates and political colleagues were in his palatial country home when life left the form that had laid uncon­ scious for nearly twenty four hours. The members of the family present included Mrs. Ralston, his daughter, Mrs/Ruth'La Rue, two sons, Julian C. Ralston and Emmett G. Ralston, all of Indianapolis; a brother, Boyd M. Ralston of Indianapolis; a sister, Mrs. Julian Hogate, of Danville, Ind., and a nephew, Glenn R. Ralston, of Indiana­ polis. Lack of Confidence in Leaders. Washington.—The root of present troubles in the American navy was as­ cribed by Rear Admiral William S. Sims, retired, its wartime commander, “to a lack of confidence in its Iead- ers.” Testifying before the President’s aid board, the Admiral declared that naval air ,development was retarded by a policy "almost unbelievably” con­ servative, and that administration of the whole naval force was .conducted by “uneducated men.” Admiral Sims was the first witness and following were Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz, for the last two years commander of the United States fleet; Rear Admiral George C. Bloch, chief of the ordnance bureau; Rear Admiral Davis Taylor, retired, and Captain William Spye, assistant direc­ tor of the naval war plans division. Although opposing Col. William Mitchell’s plan for a department of national defense, as did all others testifying, Admiral Sims asserted “Mitchell is a bully good fellow who deserves a lot of praise” for arousing national interest in the aviation sit­ uation. Murray Chosen Bishop. New Orleans.—The Rt. Rev. John Gardner Murray, of Baltimore, bishop of Maryland, was elected presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in the Uniifed States of Am­ erica. The election was reached by the house of bishops and completed when the house of deputies concurred in the action of the bishops. With eight candidates nominated by the house of bishops, balloting be­ gan in secret session early in the morning after holy coiiimunion in St. Paul’s church, and when no decision had been reached at luncheon, a re­ cess was taken, the bishops recon­ vening in their convention hall, where the forty-eighth triennial general con­ vention is being held. Several ballots were taken after the recess, before a message was sent to the deputies informing that house of an election. Bishop Murray, who is 68 years of age, was engaged in business for 12 years before entering the ministery at the age of 36. He was born in Lo- naconing, Md. He prepared for the ministry at Wyoming seminary, King­ ston, Pa., and Drew Theological semi­ nary, Madison, N. J. Convict Guard Hit In Head. GreenviUe--Sam Johnson, guard at the county convict camp, is in the lo­ cal hospital, unconscious and in a pre­ carious condition as the result of be­ ing hit over the head by some un­ known party while at the-fair grounds. Early yesterday two prisoners es­ caped from the chaingang, and Mr. Johnson, with other guards, had gone to the fair with hopes of apprehend­ ing them. It was whflethe guard was stationed near the main entrance that he was assaulted, and it was several hours aiterward before discovery. • MYSTERY BUNGLf THROWN • FROM RH-DHISS BR1DGE. * Hickory.—Caldwell and Burke * county officers were searching * the Catawba river just below * Rhodbiss for a bundle which a * band of laborers claim they saw * thrown from the bridge into the * river. * The workmen were laying a pipe * across the Catawba for a power * pump at the Rhodhiss mills.

Rockingham.—W. B. Cole was de­ clared not guilty of murder at 10 o'clock Sunday morning but was re­ turned to jail to be held in custody until Tuesday at I o’clock when, in Wilkesboro, Judge Tl B. Finley will conduct an examination as to his sanity. “May I shake hands with the jury, Your Honor?” the wealthy defendant asked, with a glad smile lighting his face, when Chas. E. Rushing, foreman, solemnly spoke the , words, “not guilty.” Judge Finley spoke a few words of appreciation to the jury, largely con­ veying the idea of sympathy for them in their trying task. The defendant walked over -and shook hands with the men who had pronounced him blame­ less, and looked up with a start when Judge Finley said: “The prisoner continues in your cus­ tody, sheriff.” The verdict was returned behind locked doors of the Courthouse. Rock­ ingham had been waiting for the court­ house bell to ring, signallg that the jury had reached a decision. Sheriff Homer D. Haldwin, however, said that he had later received instructions from Judge Finley to notify him quietly when the jury was ready; a course which he followed and one which re­ sulted in the prisoner’s being back In jail .before the people realized that the great moment.for which they had been living two weeks had come un­ awares and had passed. About 30 peo­ ple were present to hear the verdict. Miss Elizabeth Cole was probably the first person outside the courtroom to hear the news. Dr. W. F. Cole, of Greensboro, rushed to a nearby phone and called the home where she, her mother and younger sister, were wait­ ing. From that moment the news spread over town like wildfire. The assembled Sunday schools rustled and murmured and forgot what son had been announced. The telephone ex­ change was swamped with calls, each wanting fo be the one to tell some­ one else first. Yet there was none of the uproarious excitement expressing joy or resentment. The only notice­ able public reaction, Immediately after the verdict, was that of excited interest. Tobacco Magnate Dead. New York.—James B. Duke, tobacco manufacturer, died at his home after an illness of several weeks that follow­ ed a nervous and physical break- flown. In one of the last statements before his death, Mr. Duke said his passing would have no effect on the future of his varied interests, as all were in good hands. For several years Mr. Duke had not taken an active part in the conduct of the fnany-enterprises in which he was interested. Actual management was entrusted to men he had trained, although he frequently went to his New York offices and kept in close touch with business matters. Mr. Duke died in the presence of his family .and Dr. Robert H. Wylie, who had attended him through his long illness. The physician said that the end came as a direct result of bronchial pneumonia, contracted after the breakdown. Mr. Duke had fallen into a state of coma after several days of fighting for life. At times he showed such im­ provement it .was thought he would recover. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Nanaline Holt; a daughter, Miss Doris Duke; a brother, / SEngineer Killed in Wreck.

New Orleans.—The question of di­ vorce was brought before the house of deputies of the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church here. The first action was acceptance of a report of the committee on canons recommending that a resolution pre­ sented from the southern diocese of Ohio be rejected. This resolution would have given bishops the right to inquire into phases of divorce other than legal on application of a divorced person to marry again. The ecclesiastical auth­ orities of the diocese, under the terms of the resolution, would have been the final authority in determining social and ethical questions connected with a divorce. Shortly after rejection of this resolution the beginning of a fight to place an absolute ban on the mar­ riage of divorced persons in the church was marked by the introduc­ tion of a resolution by the Rev. Caleb. R. Seteson, rector of Trinity church, New York, for the sanctity of marriage association. The resolution was referred to the committee on canons. The church law now provided that an innocent party in a divorce, with certain restrictions, may remarry. The resolution introduced would wipe out this possibility by changing the canon A resolution indorsing thet world court of international justice at The Hague, introduced by former Attorney General George 'W. Wickersham, was passed without opposition. No discussion was provoked by the report of the committee to consider existing relations between the fed­ erated council of churches and the Episcopal church and it was placed on the calendar for later considera­ tion. An unfavorable report was accept­ ed from the committee canons on the proposal to assesse each communicant ten per cent per week for the general work of the church. t Girl Watches Sweetheart Die. Greensboro.—While his sweetheart watched, her tears flowing, Paul Pad­ gett, convict of Statesville, died in a hospital here. He was shot by C. E. Coltrane, a guard, when Padgett made a break for freedom from the Guilford county gang, where he was serving a six months sentence following convic­ tion in superior court on charge of theft of an automobile. His sweetheart, as soon as she learn­ ed that he was shot, hastened here from Statesville, making the trip fas­ ter than the boy's father, Samuel Padgett, who did not arrive until after the death of the young man. The youth maintained his innocence of the charge to the last. His last words were: “Tell mama I didn’t take that car." Then he died. ’ His father will take the body back to Statesville.' Coltrane said that Padgett, who broke away while the convicts were eating dinner, was out of sight in a clump of bushes when he fired. He let loose with a load of buckshot that struck the young man in the back,' one shot lodging in his spine and paralyzing him from the waist down.1 No hopes was held out for his recov­ ery, although physicians fought to the last to save his life. j Nerve of Aviator Averts Wreck. I Mitchell Field, N. Y.—The 1925 Ba- | tional air races were brought to a dra- | matic close with a superb example of an army aviator’s judgment, skill and coolness in the face of danger. , With the left landing wheel and its struts tom away against telephone and power lines from the large Doug­ las Transport plane he was piloting in The Detroit News trophy race, Cap-, tain Early W. Duncan, of Langley Feild, Va., faced with one of aviation’8 most dangerous situations, neverth- less made a safe landing in full view of a breathless crowd. 1 Thousands stood transfixed as they realized the position of the aviator and his passenger, Sergeant Wm. Moor­ head, Iaso of LaLngley Field. They burst into cheers after the plane glided slowly to the ground with motor throt­ tled down, taxied along for yards bal­ anced on its one remaining landing wheel, and came to a stop by digging its nose into the ground. The propeller crumpled against the groud, the nose of the plane was bent and a wing dragged with some dam­ age. But the two flyers stepped from their cockpit unhurt. Five Are Jailed For Big Robbery.

Jake sagely advises the adven­ turers in the purchase of sup­ plies, and In a wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen, and w ith a cow, the four arrive a t their future homes. Construction of "shacks” and the m aking of a garden are their first occupations. A young Hngllshmem of the name of "Spoof" is a neighbor. They call on Spoof, w ho Ib living In a tent. Spoof, on his return visit, dis­ closes him self as a m an of varied social attainm ents. Frank's jeal­ ousy is aroused. M arjorie dis­ covers that they have a new neighbor. "He” turns out to be a Mrs: Alton, a widowed English­ woman, who, with, her three- year-old son Gerald, has taken up a claim. Frank and John leave the homesteads for a tim e to do harvest work for wages on a longer-established farm. They en­ counter Jake, who tells them of his adventure into matrimony. A fter two months* absence they return to their homes. Jean's en­ thusiastic welcome encourages Frank. CHAPTER IX—Continued —7— "We must get Spoof after her,” said Jack. "He’ll, drag her out. Now that we have real society In our commu­ nity a beautiful young widow must not be allowed to ‘waste her sweet­ ness on the desert air.” ' We spent a whole day conjecturing about the new arrivals, and marveling over the strange assortment of hu­ manity out of which it was the busi­ ness of fate and our lucky stars—no one else seemed to trouble about the matter—to Say in these prairies the foundations of an enduring civiliza­ tion. Then we settled down to what little work remained to be done. We found our oat crops harvested, and for that we had . to thank Spoof and Jake, who had taken that bit of neighborly service into their own hands. We made the stable snug, banked up the shacks with earth, and lined them inside with brown paper which Me had brought from town for that purpose. We cut firewood In our little park by the pond, being careful to destroy nothing but trees which were already dead or were too crowd­ ed for growth. Before we had completed these jobs Spoof paid us another visit. We saw his tall figure looming up across the brown grass one afternoon early In November. He shook hands with a warm, firm grip. He was. brown and rugged, and the prairie winds were leaving their mark on his fine English complexion. In the warmth of his grip, in the sparkle of his eye, in the leisurely confidence of his conversa­ tion, there was something about the fellow that was decidedly likable. “Thought I’d just drop in on you, strangers,” he commented. “Have a good autumn’s work? I hope you did. I ventured to inquire a few times while you. were away, just in case the young ladies might need some help— a man around the place,, don’t you know? I found them most disconcert­ ingly competent. About the only service I -was able to do was to shoot a rabbit for them; one of those big white fellows. Jolly good eating, I should say—’’ "How long ago was that?” Jack in­ terrupted, sharply. “Oh, not -SO. long; in fact, . they spoke of saving him for your home­ coming.” "Aha: And again, Aha! Come along, you conspirator !" We seized Spoof by the arms and mwcbed him into tile house. Marjo­ rie and Jean were there; although we lied two houses the girls were ncrrly always together in the one on liourter-B/ Jean declared that Mar­ jorie was much the better hou- /keeper of the. I wo, and She came thv.i forI We thrust the somewhat bewildered Spoof into their presence. “We nave discovered your duplic­ ity,” said Jack, sternly, addressing the girls. “We now know the secret of Marjorie’s marksmanship.” “Oh, by Jove!” Spoof exclaimed. “I seem to have messed things up. Tm afraid you will think me an awful rotter, Miss Hall. Really”—turning to Jack—"really, it wasn’t I that shot the bally hare at all—” “You’re only getting in deeper,” said Jaek. “ 'Fess up, and stay for sup­ per.” Spoof did both, and a jolly night we had, playing euchre after the sup­ per dishes were cleared away. But before he left he recalled that an errand of mercy lay at the bottom of his visit. “I dropped into Brown’s the other day," he said. "Mrs. Brown Is a bit fed up. Staring out of the window, and all that kind of thing. Poor old Brown is quite useless; worse than I am, if that is possible, but his wife has quality in her that will count, if she doesn’t go under first. She needs you two girls over there now and again, just to put a bit of sunshine In her soul. Now just hitch up the oxen tomorrow, and slip over to sec­ tion Four and jolly her out of the dumps.” “Well, suppose we do,” Jack agreed. “But how about you keeping up your end of the social service? Why wish it all on to us?” , “I don’t follow you. I have already been to the Browns’—’’ "But not to Mrs. Alton’s, so far as we can learn. Mrs. Brown may have no monopoly of loneliness.” Perhaps it was only imagination, but it seeined to me that Spoofs face, usually so frank and open, suddenly became a mask. But he came back quickly and easily. “I could hardly do that, don’t you know? It would not be quite the thing.” “Why not?” said Jean, as ingenu­ ous as ever. “Why, it would hardly be the thing —it’s not in accord—” “You mean it isn’t done," I sup­ plied. “Exactly. But of course I know I’m a greenhorn yet, even though I am beginning to ripen in spots. That reminds me. I’ve had another letter from the governor. He wants me to shoot him a young ehinook.” “A Chinook!” “Yes. When I wrote him a recent treatise entitled ‘An Incident in a Hay Field, or, How About a Check for a Hundred Pounds'—you will remember the time—I covered the ragged edge of my purpose with a dissertation upon the prairie climate. I told him that it consisted of a melange of everything from Naples at it's best to Norway at its worst—from sleepy kittens pur­ ring in the sun to wild she-tigers raging through the jungle, prom climate I moved to grass by easy stages, and from grass to hay, and from that to the matter of one hundred pounds. On the way I explained that this part of the country is not really in the ehinook belt, although occasionally one came down this far. So now I am com­ missioned. to shoot for the governor a young ehinook. He thinks the skin would look a bit' of all right on the library floor, don’t you know?” “And, of course, you will shoot one?” “A request from one’s immediate paternal ancestor, accompanied by a draft for a hundred pounds, is not to be lightly disregarded.” “Let me think,” said Jack, and for a few moments we remained silent to give his mind elbow room. “I have it!” he suddenly exclaimed. “Has your governor ever seen a bad­ ger?” “Not likely except possibly at the zoo.” “We must take that chance. You must shoot a badger, Spoof, which we will formally christen a Chinook, and send it to your governor in time for Christmas.” “I think it is wicktd to do that',” said Jean, whose sympathies were al­ ways with the underdog!' “No doubt Mr.—Mr. Spoof, senior, is a delightful old gentleman, and it isn’t fair. Fancy someone from America visiting him and Mr. Spoof goes showing off the ehinook which his son shot on the banks of the Saskatchewan. ‘Chinook nothing!’ says the visitor. ‘That’s a badger, as common. as rabbits, almost, and I would describe your son as another prairie animal, smaller than a badger, with two stripes down its back.” “Oh, listen to Miss Prim!” Marjorie interrupted. “Who would think she had a letter from her mother asking if she was canning any buffalo beans?” It was not until Spoof’s tall form had dissolved out of view in the star- I light that It occurred to me how Skill- Ifullv he had chanced the conversation from tbe subject of Mrs. Alton, was something to think about. We did as Spoof suggested. Early the next afternoon we hitched Buck and Bright to the wagon and wended our slow way southwestward, Jack and I taking turns in tbe exclamatory exer-. cises by means of which the oxen were kept In motion. The prairie now was very brown and bare, and only the more hardy gophers remained about' to whistle saucily at our carry-all lumber­ ing by. The dazzling sunshine seemed to have lost its force, and there was a presage of coming winter In the -air. We dropped into silence save for the noises of our locomotion. “The world seems to have died,” said Jean after a long period of thought­ fulness. The eipression was an appropriate one. The world was, actually, dead. Every blade of grass was a stark little corpse, swaying, ghostily to the stir of the cold air. Soon the shroud of win­ ter would be woven about them, flake by flake, mantling them all in its cold, white tomb. "But in the spring it will live again,” Jean continued, after a pause. "That is the life eternal.” Jean was a strange girl. Her thoughts went on and on, reaching out, and out. She seemed to live always on the verge of the infinite. . . . At length we were at Brown’s. The rickety shack, smaller than either of ours, presented a sad and forlorn ap­ pearance. Three little faces Were crowded In a single window that cov­ ered our approach. Brown himself was busy building a stable of sods, and succeeding very badly in his work. He could scarcely be distinguished from his building material, but when he saw us he shook himself, as a dog . shakes off water, and came up, touching his cap. “We are your neighbors from Four­ teen” we announced ourselves. “May we go in?” “You may, and welcome,” he said. "The wife will be a bit fuddled. I’m not the most presentable myself.” Then Jean’ did a great thing; one of those wonderful things that' no one but Jean seemed to think of. Sh<| clambered to the side of the wagon and held our her arms. “I’m all dirt Miss,” Brown protested. “I’m all earth and sand.” But he came slowly forward to her outstretched Sandy Saw Us Afar Off and Swept Down Upon Us Like a Tornado. arms, and when his liands reached hers he took her and gently helped her down. "Thank you, Hr. Brown,” she said. But Brown was looking at her and at us with eyes that had suddenly gone misty with a mist not of the sods or of the sands. Two little pools of water gathered and streaked a slow, dusty course across his grimy face. Inside we found Mrs. Brown ‘a bit' fuddled,’ as her husband had predicted. At first she merely stood wringing her hands, but when Jean and Marjorie kissed her, and then kissed the little Browns, the veil suddenly lifted and she was all kindness and hospitality. What a day it was, after we began to get acquainted! Marjorie and Jean had brought' some homemade candy, and in a few minutes the little Browns were smeared and happy and slipping gently about looking into the faces of our girls as though they verily be­ lieved them angels. It was dark and starry when we hitched the oxen to the wagon, and shook hands all round, and kissed tbe children all round, and the girls kissed Mrs. Brown and Mr. Brown forgot' him­ self and kissed the girls and Jack and I almost kissed Mrs. Brown and we drew slowly away waving our hands and watching the five figures framed in tbe doorway against the yellow light of the oil lamp on the opposite wall. Our experience with the Browns en­ couraged us to cultivate the acquaint­ ance of our other neighbors and as the short, bright days of November wore by the low-hanging sun often saw our ox-wagon wending slowly across the prairies, and the north star and the great dipper were the silent witnesses of its return to Fourteen. Sometimes, too, the great magician of the North would light his mimic candles, and we would creak homeward In the weird light of their flickering battalions min- ueting on the stage of the universe. Smith, the Scotsman, and Burke, the American, received, us with undivided hospitality and that strange sense of common interest' which is the most nrloalocc thlno *.hm,t nlonAir Hf*. of the rich qualities of human nature which seems inevitably to dry up In the more complex civilizations. Ole Hansen entertained us for a full hour in the stable before his buxom Olga consented to admit us into the house. When at last we were granted that privilege there was evidence of hur­ ried scrubbing of floors and faces. “My wife bane all the time yust on the yump,” Ole explained apologetical­ ly. "Some time Ay tank by d—n we have too many kids, eh?” It' appeared that Ole was beginning to harbor some modern ideas about the size of fam­ ilies. His opinion that six was “yust a nice commence” was being shaken. The housing problem was coming home to him and bearing its inevitable fruit. No such radicalism had yet filtered Into the mind of tllfi RuSslftQ, wllO, fflf the sake of convenience, we continued to call Sneezit. He met us stolidly where the trail wound down the bank of the gully near to his dugout. He wore a long sheepskin coat, with the wool still on it, high boot's drawn well up on the thigh, and a brushy, black beard. He regarded us In silence, and at' length Jack spoke. “We are your neighbors. We have come to call on you. We hope you are well.” The lips under the black mustache parted slowly, showing a set of strong, regular»teeth. “No much Angleesh,” he remarked. We clambored down and shook hands. This seemed to assure him of our friendly intentions, and when we managed to make it clear that we wanted to visit his house he led us to it without hesitation. It was merely a cave dug out of the side of the gully. The front was roughly built up with stones and sods, and a crude door, made of pieces of packing boxes, afforded admittance. The only light' was from an opening in the door, which could be closed when the weather was too severe. Sneezit went first and addressed some words in Russian into the gloom. We followed, encountering in the door the fumes of the place’s bad ventila­ tion. It was some time before our eyes became accustomed to the darkness, but presently we discerned a woman stooping, indicating a long bench which had been set for us. Across the cave was a drove of children, their eyes peering and shining like those of wild animals. Indead it seemed that eyes were the most noticeable thing In that very humble little home. Pre­ sumably there were mouths as well; no doubt Sneezit and his wife had reason to know that there were mouths as well as eyes. As soon after our return from har­ vesting as our duties permitted It we paid another visit to Mrs. Alton. Sandy saw us afar off and swept down upon us like a tornado. Apparently he had known us at the first glimpse, or the first sniff, whichever was his source of information, for there was .no ques­ tion this time about our welcome. His barking and tail-wagging accompanied us all the remainder of the way to the little box that Mrs/ Alton called home. The widow had had time to dress since we hove in view—that is one of the advantages of prairie life not set out in the immigration booklets—and it was a dainty and spick-and-span Mrs. Alton that greeted us when our wagon lumbered up to her door. “I said, ‘It’s our friends from Four­ teen and Twenty-two’—you see how I am picking up your prairie way of numbering your farms instead of nam­ ing them—I said, ‘It’s our friends from Fourteen and Twenty-two’ as soon as I heard Sandy’s first bark. That was before you were in sight; so far as my poor eyes could see. But Jerry, who was up in the wagon playing teamster, cried, ‘I see dem, Mudder; oxes and Mlth Lane.’ He's crazy about Miss Lane.” “Jerry is a young man of discrim­ ination,” I said, scoring for once. But' my wit was lost in the wild and pant­ ing hug which Jean was bestowing upon my rival. '“So he’s Jerry now,” said Jean, re­ leasing her embrace enough for speech, “That sounds like getting down to earth. Ever so much more chummy than Gerald.” “Do you think so?” Mrs. Alton queried. “And I vowed that, what­ ever came, I never would call him Jerry. Too reminiscent of Jeremiah, and lamentations, and all that sort of thing that I wanted to get away from.” Mrs. Alton stopped short as though she had said more than she intended then brightly took up the thread again. “I vowed I would leave my lamenta­ tions behind” she continued. “I take it that this is a country'where there is room for everything but regrets.” It was evident that Mrs. Alton’s be­ reavement was filling a good part of her mind, so Jean deftly switched the conversation back to the boy, and presently was conducting a foot-race to the chicken shed with herself, Jerry and Sandy as the competitors! Sandy won. We had tea, of course, and after Jerry had gone to bed and Sandy had lain down with his chops on the floor between his paws and his tail thump­ ing the boards occasionally IrJ appro­ bation Jack got out our much-worn deck of cards and we initiated Mrs. Alton into the mysteries of pedro With a beginner’s luck she and Jack were much too successful for Jean and me, and when it was time for as to go we insisted that she must vieit Fourteen some night soon and give us a chance to return the drubbing. “I should so like to, but I can’t leave Jerry,” Mrs. Alton explained. “But Jerry must come, too,” we countered. “Jerry and Sandy, and, if necessary, the cow and the chickens. Now. you simply must, or some night .,1 1 1 . . . . „ „ „ force.” But Mra Alton would give us no definite answer. There was no such hesitation at Jake’s. Jake met us In the yard, hat- less, coatless,' vestless, although the temperature was flirting with the ■freezing point. “Welcome!” he exclaimed. "I sup­ pose you’ve come to condole with me In my affliction?” “What affliction?” we Inquired, half misled by Jake’s manner, for he was an expert In simulation. “She’s inside—aif In possession. It’s fort’nate fer me this country runs so much to outside, fer that’s all I’ve any claim on.” But by this time Jake’s wife ap­ peared In the door. “Come on In, girls,” she cried, “and never mind that DlathergKite. Be &cea Rrouud half- dressed, keeping himself warm think­ ing tip nonsense. I tsll him S0ID6 d8J he’ll freeze his hair, and that’s his finish, for I won’t stay married to a bald man, whatever happens.” “Tut tut,” returned her spouse. “Where Bella Donna is put, she stays. That’s her strong point” It was an afternoon of much badi­ nage we spent at Jake’s, but under the surface there were evidences that our former land guide regarded his wife wltli a sort of awe which he tried to obscure from public view by a smoke screen of raillery. Bella, it was apparent, was a woman of char­ acter, and although Jake could scarce­ ly be described as plastic In her hands, his recasting was only the harder on him on that account. He was In the mills of the gods, and they proposed to make a job of it “I don’t know whether she’ll m ate me' a good wife or not,” he confided in me, “but I reckon she’s set on makln’ me a good husband.” But Bella’s house was clean, and Bella’s table was well set, as pioneer tables go, and Bella was a living con­ centration of energy such as Jake needed to spur him into purposeful activity. It was Jake’s weakness that he would drop a job any day to per­ petrate a joke. “He thinks he’s a joker,” said Bella, acidly, anent this characteristic of her husband, "whereas he’s only a joke. There’s a big difference.” We left that night with assurances from Jake and Bella that they would visit us twice a week all -winter—a promise which they almost kept. But not all our visiting was with our new - neighbors. Most, of it, as you may suppose, was back and forth between Fourteen and Twenty-two. Spoof we counted on to make a fifth spoke In our circle every Sunday, and the banjo lessons, neglected during our absence, were now taken up in earnest. It gave me a little orthodox shiver to think what my strict Pres­ byterian parents would have said to Jean picking so perverted an instru­ ment as a banjo on a Sunday after­ noon, and blending her voice with Spoofs In “The Road to Mandalay.” But I was little happier when they abandoned tbe secular for such old airs as “Abide With Me” and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds.” Toward the end of the month we had our first snowfall. Old Sol that morning had a mimic sun on either, side, and there was a frosty glitter in the air In which our neighbors’ shanties gradually faded out of sight as though hidden behind a veil of crystal tapes­ try. By noon a gray pall shrouded the sky and tbe snow began to shake down as gently as feathers fluttering from the bosom of some mammoth bird which had taken the world to be her nest and in spring would hatch again the ancient miracle of life. Marjorie and I stood in our door and watched the big flakes descending, slowly, silently, resistlessly, settling on wagon and hay rack and every blade of grass, Across the gully, as through a slowly falling curtain of ivory lace, we saw the vague, forms of Jack and Jean watching them, too. By midafternoon the ground was white. Next morning we looked upon a new world. The snow had ceased fall­ ing, the sky was clear and bright, and the stars were still visible at our ris­ ing hour. Then up came the sun, ■splashing the heavens amber and or­ ange and blood red, and suddenly set­ ting a million tons of diamonds ablaze with his brilliance. After the snow came we seemed to cling to each other’s company even more than before. It’s a solemn thing to be alone In a world of snow. Per­ haps its coldness, its stark whiteness, its vast silence suggests that which makes the heart reach out for some warm pulse of friendship. Perhaps its peace and beauty .stir something in our nature that insists on being shared. The Fourteens and Twenty, twos certainly have some odd neighbors. But who’s this mys­ terious Mrs. Alton?

C D X I z ta BLACKHEAD MOST COMMON DISEASE Blacthead is one of the most com­ mon diseases of turkeys. IJ Is caused by a-microscopic parasite‘that affects especially the liver and ceca (blind pouches of the Intestines) of birds from six wee'.is to four months of age. Older turkeys or chickens, however, are not immune to the trouble. Chick­ ens may be a source of infection and not show signs of the disease. The term “blackhead” Is misleading, as any disease which causes a de­ crease In the oxygen supply of the blood may cause the head to become darkened In color. The characteristic symptoms bps drowsiness, a tendency to lag behind the flock, loss of ap­ petite, diarrhea and sulphur-colored droppings. The dark color of the head is common, but it is not always a reliable diagnostic symptom, as it may be the result of soige other trouble. As Ihe disease progresses the feathers become ruffled, the wings droop and general debility is noticed. Usually, several poults are stricken at once. Treatment for blackhead is of little value. -The hope is for prevention. Remove birds to new quarters and see that drinking and feeding vessels are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Sick birds should be killed and burned or buried deeply. A treatment which is advised by some is as follows: For each 20 birols give two teaspoonfuls of poyvdered ipecac mixed in a mash, twice a week until the poults are three months of age, then reduce the dosage one-half .and give oace each XO days until the birds are ready for market. Hens Relish Succulence in Potatoes and Apples Baw potatoes and apples are relished by the hens and add succulence to the ration. However, a balanced dry masli should be used at the same time to encourage egg production. Melon leaves and viines are rather tough and not usually eaten by the hens when’ they have access to other green feed. A clover pasture or the succulent leaves of swiss chard will be much better. Culi radishes and the leaves will be picked over b,y the hens. • They like the roots but do not relish" the tough leaves. Otlior grasses and green feed rare better poultry feed. Much depends ■on the quality of the poultry range. Hens in small yards iwill seem to like certain tough leaves that they will never touch if more tender and succu­ lent green feed is available. $ >: !♦; Hints on Care of Eggs =Jj Provide plenty of clean nests jj; sj: for the laying hens. >j H Gather eggs twice a diy. ;J; sjf Keep the eggs In a'cool, fairly H H dry place.

FALL MODES IN PARTY FROCKS;FORMAL TYPES IN P A R IS BLOUSES SO LONG as the flowers that bloom in the spring, or any other time, are a gladness and dear to our hearts, just so long we will wear flowered frocks for dancing. Here is one, with certain hallmarks of the new fall modes, proclaiming its up-to-dateness, worn in the company of shoes that bear out this testimony. It Is a sim­ ple affair of flowered chiffon, worn over a silk slip, with .molded lines In the body and flared flounce placed very gracefully on the skirt portion. Its background color Is blue In a de­ lightful shade, and pastel shades of rose, green and other colors appear In the printed flowers. Dance frocks this season are quite particular in the choice of shoes that Queen Mary must have sensed the trend of the coming mode thia fall when she chose to wear a genuine jeweled pin on her hat. “This way splendor lies” might well be inscribed along the path of fashion, for It leads to the richest and most regal-looklng fabrics—not only In headwear but In all outer apparel.Paris designers have seized upon, this phase of the mode in creating blouses of formal character and those tunic blouses that prove so useful as an adjunct to a modest'supply of af­ ternoon or dinner gowns. The ensem­ ble blouse that may be worn with a skirt all Its own, and with other skirts as well. Is Included among them, and the more or less dressy styling of H fA 1 i5i OF FLOWERED CHIFFON are to be their partners—such shoci must wear their colors—If only in a little rosette. The smart black, kid pumps shown in the picture have a border of blue about the top and a rosette of blue and black ribbon at the front—thus_ proclaiming them­ selves in harmofiy with the. color choice In the dress. Plain black kid pumps are varied by changing the or­ naments on them. But sometimes party frocks are worn with shoes of blond kid with stockings to match and this footwear harmonizes with the color in'the dress and looks particu­ larly well with party frocks of gold lace. Metallic laces, metal brocade and other metal fabrics lead the proces- blouses, even in the plainer materials, makes these important. Just what Paris contrives with plain, lustrous crepe-satin In black is shown In the two models pictured. In the blouse at the left plaitings of coral georgette and coral buttons adorn a straight, simply designed model, the plaiting edged with fine soutache braid In gold color. A belt of gilded bid completes it The other blouse Is equally simple and successful, with plaitings of the satin and many-colored embroidery giving it tone. A scarf of georgette with the same embroidery may be called on for further elaboration— when needed—and is very graceful. Blouses of this type are made finger- tip or wrist length.

Cole’s Punishment. Thejuryconldkeep Coleout of the State prison. But the' jury not relieve the man of punishment "A curious crowd jammed the sidewalk and peered through the plate glass front of the local cafe where the recent defendant, his son, and two daughters, and his brother were eating.” This but poorly describes the scene William B. Cole, who a short time ago was held in highest es­ teem by the people of North Caro­ lina who knew him, was forced to fcae in this city And his exper: ience here was not different Irom others he will have whenever and whenver he appears in North Ca­ rolina. Mast of the eyes that peered through at hit&^yvere not friendly eyes. Mauy of them were only curious eyes, it is true, but many others were eves of scorn. Behind those eyes were men who believed deep down in their hearts that Cole should be free to dinet and mingle with law-abiding people in North Carolina. Nobobody sensed that feeling more than William B Cole. The eyes' that peered through at. bini in the night—he could not evade them. A no matter where he goes, those eyes will follow him. . Cole has escaped the felon’s pun­ ishment. But' he never can escape' the piercing eyes of the multitude. And then—there will be the sad eyes of the father whose son was slain, aud the tearful eyes of the mother weeping for her miirdereo boy. Time will not let Cole go un­ punished. So long as, he'lives, and to his last gasp for breath; there ■will be the eyes that peer through at him in the night—the deathless eyes of young Bill Ormond.— Wins­ ton Journal.

Challengiog Oor Attention. This paper seriously disapproves the Cole verdict, not that we would pnnisKthe man, not that we would establish prejudice or sentiment a gainst a citizen exercising his rights before the courts, not that we would shield the man who sinned grievously against his home and family, but purely and simply be­ cause the state and the nation can­ not long survive such miscarriages of justice. We have no complaint to make against Cole. He did the right thing to fight for his life and to establish his contention. We have do desire to rap the courts or abuse jurymen. We simply wish to- call attention again, once again, to the fact that the preservaction of the state, the nation, of Christian ciy-i- lization, depends upon holding men responsible for their sacts, respon­ sible before the law aud before God who said aud responsible be­ fore the law and before God who said and repeatedly emphasized Thou Shalt Not Kill. We have come to that dav when we must punish men when they step' aside and take the law into their own hands aud then go before the court with the hope that they may be able to build a defense 011 a human sen­ timent which has been so encour­ aged that it is all but impossible to puuisti men _ for their acts. We would ask those who applaud this verdict, and their are many, no doubt, to ask themselves this simple question: Ho\i long can an A- merican nation, an American state survive on such a sentiment as li­ beratesthis man • Cole/.. Where shalf we finally turn up. wlieie shall we look for safety within the Uw if we permit the barrier to be broken down to.take care of every case that a human seutiiiient wo old shield from the law’s deWud? The Cole case writes a question mark after the vety laws of God and every law established on God’s law which men have deemed -neces­ sary for the preservation of the state. The laws are made for the protection of the state, society, the whole people, and not tor the shielding of men who take the law into their own haud We are com­ ing to a' dangerous place in our civilization when sentiment is strong enough to shied men from the responsibility of their own ac s, that they can and do hide Tehind such sentiment and avoid paying a penalty’the law deems necessary that the state . may survive# and Christian civilization remaiu with us. We waut to loose sight of the man and the girl in the case and for a while study the reaction such justic^ will have on law and on orderly conduct of ;a state. It'-is lime for thinking people to think this thing through and see to what we are liable to drift. Ttie safety of the state is the issue and not the state is the issue and uot the safety of any one man.” —Salisbury Post. Miss Brenegar Must Pay Inheri­ tance.

The result of the sanity hearing at Wilkesboro was expected. Nwbod.v probably, cerlkinlv the jury, beiiev ed that Cole was insane, or that he kellled in self defense.

Of course the jurors did not say they acquitted on the ground of in­ sanity. Those who talked told the The Right Kind Of Sentence.

Some twelve or fifteen years ago when automobiles just begun to ap pear in the rural districts a woman farmer living some live miles away came driving into town one day and lying at the foot of her buggy was a gun.

J I lie KoacUHog Courtesy, toleration, respect for the rights of others are virtues un­ known to the animal known as the Road H-ikt. a creature that came in­ to existence with the automobile. But sellisatiess is one of the’ cardi­ nals in his conduct. Inamoinenton ‘'Road Hogism,” tho ' Accelerator” pertinently savs: “Courtesy of the road hag been one of the big factors in building up the pleasure of motoring. R iad- Hogs violate everv rule of this cour­ tesy and consequently are about as Spopi)lar«as.a-blow-outon-the-Sunday moiniiig ride to church. There are two classes of Koad- Hogs. The Iirst class is made up cf folks who Ivel the highways havn been paved and kept in condilicn for their use alone; They like Io drive in the center of the road ait the time. Turnouts require extra exertion on the steering wheel ar-il exertion of any kind doesn’t appeal to the dyed in the wool R iad-Hog He huys a car for pleasure and he doesn't intend to let anything inter­ fere with that pleasure. Let- the fello.v behind hunk Iiio head off. Who cares? Tim’.i th* mental al­ titude of his royal highness Mr. Hog the-Road. At least that’s his attitude when lie leads the proces­ sion. Once in a while brother meets brother and then a battle royal is on. The R H finds another of his kind holding up Iiis progress and he becomes highly iiidimiant. His men­ tal attitude changes. This time he is the fellow behind and it triakes a lot of difference in his viewpoint. It's, then the irresistable force meets the immovable object and the strange part of it all is that as soon as they change their line of thought at the same time. The second class of Road-Hcg comprises those who think p.edes- traius suould never cross streets. That i3, they think so until their c: r is in the garage. Then, like mem­ bers of class one. they see through different kind of glasses and' feel. that the ma,n on the street should always have the hight-of-way. The q.ieer part of Koad Hogism is that many, men and’ women suffer­ ing irntn this disease are in. every way the tinnst kind of people. Their lives are filled with courteous and 3elf-effacing actions until cortrol of an. automobile is placed in their hands Then they seem to take on new personality. Their eyes ard cars are closed to the comfort of others The disease holds therp in its grip and they seem satisfied to remain there. For every sickness, there is a remedy, 30 let’s hope thij oestilenr.» will be eliminated some. day. In the meanwhile we can all do our best to show the value of Road Courtesy. Example is a great teacher, and if we preach the gospel of the Golden Rule long enough, it may bring light to those who. willingly or oth­ erwise, ate traveling in the dark,” —Ex, - BhI P-?nt «I .'IiIjSf J I® j?-k $afel11:11c# !»?!« m i ■ OCTOBER 28EffE DAVIE RECORD, MOCk§YtLLjB, S.

IN ADVANCE - S 50 THREE MONTHS, IN ADVANCE $ 25 The fairs have practically all been held in this state; the big cir­ cuses have come and gone and wh it has been left will be spent for wood, coal and automobiles. Davie countv has been promised some mightv nice things by the highway engineer Currier. Now, what we want to know is about how long we are going to wait be­ fore getting the Statesville or Sal­ isbury roads. About four million dollars worth 'of good road con­ tracts were let last Tuesday but we didn’t see Davie county listed for any of the plums. His Honor, Judge A, M. Stack will visit Davie county again early in December. It is fortunate that this is a civil instead of a criminal court for thlere is but little room left in the jail from the August term and the supply of rations in this burg is hone too large. None of our neighboring cnain ganes'will accept white prisoners which leaves Davie with a bunch of hungry men to teed and no work for them to do. A good deal of space is being given on our first 'page this week to the different opinions expressed by various newspapers in the state in regard to the verdict in the Cole murder case which came to a close two weeks ago. Other cases simi­ lar to the Cole c.ase will come up in tug future and we want our sit scrii ers throughout the country to know what the newspapers think about this case So far as we know there were but two or three neivs- papers in North Carolina that did not feel that Cole got off loo light. Many thought he should have be. 11 foni d guilty of first degree murder, while others thought he should at least have beeu found guilty of manslaughter. editor of The Record has known “Mike” personally for nearly thirty years and ■ we believe he would make an excellent man for this high office. No'man in North Carolina has been more loyalto the Republican party than Mr. White- ner.. He has spent much time, and money during the past quarter of a centuryMn helping to build up the partv in North Carolina. He has done this without any hope of reward. The Record would be mighty glad to see Mr. Whitener get this office. An Appreciated Letter. Asheville, N. C., Oct. 20, 25.I -s ' Dear Mr. Stroud: Cneck for $2. enclosed for my renewal.

The Re­ cord has improved much since that time, and while it has been oppo­ site my side in politics, I am glad to know that it has been consistent local business-men are passing up a good thing and I believe the time is' not far off when they will realize that they have-got to come out from behind their old ways and give the local paper what is due it in self defense if for no other cause. . ’ R.

The high egg market last fall was In the latter part of November. The records indicate that the tendency Is fdr the high spot in the market to ad­ vance earlier in the fall. The prob­ lem of the person who Is interested in making his poultry pay. Is how to prepare to take advantage of these liigh prices. Bullets which began laying late in October frequently lay during the en­ tire winter. Pullets which are de­ veloped too early begin laying early in October and then begin to molt, and unless they are exceptionally well fed they will not begin laying again until spring. If Leghorns are hatched before April I and are well grown they will likely start laying early In October. Under good growing rations a Leghorn will mature In about 200 days. Some growers can carry their early hatched pullets along more slowly and pre­ vent them from laying much before the first of November. In order to do this they feed very little meat scrap and other high protein feeds and feed considerable ground oats and other bulky feeds which grow a good frame but which do not hasten the maturity of the birds. The heavy breeds which are slower maturing will lay better in the fall if hatched earlier than April. February and March pullets of the breeds such as Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyandottes will be about the right stage of maturity for November eggs if they are grown on a good ra­ tion. One trouble with a good many pro­ ducers is that they do not feed their pullets so that they mature quickly enough so 'as to start laying in the fall. In other words you have two sources of trouble In getting pullets to lay In November. One is the hatching of Leghorns too early and thereby having them go into a molt, thereby losing production in the winter from that source. The other trouble Is on account of late chicks and slow de­ velopment which results 'In the pul­ lets not laying until the greater part of the winter is over and the gerlod of high egg prices has passed. Hens Should Be Fed So That They Molt Quickly The old hens should be fed so that they will molt quickly. Eggs will be high in price this fall and winter and we should feed the flock so as to ob­ tain every possible egg. suggests D. H. Hall, extension poultry husbandman at Clemson college. The molt Is a natural thing and the lien must be allowed time enough for it. We can help them through the molting stage by feeding. The mash feeds are very beneficial in growing feathers, therefore, these hens should have all the mash they want. A pound At sulpliur added to each 100 pounds of mash will also aid the hens in growing new feathers. Sulphur Is also a mild tonic and aids in keeping the hen’s body In condition. During the molting period, the hens need a large amount of grain feed for the upkeep of the body. The molt is a severe drain on the hen and a good strong body, with plenty of extra en­ ergy should be kept by the hen. The hen Is alsp laying up surplus energy for next year’s laying. The best feed, care, and attention should be given them at this time. It will always pay you to send your hens to roost with a full craw each night. Potassium Pemanganate Good as W ater Purifier Dr. .S. Erikson of the Mountain Grove (Mo.) experiment station has carried on experiments to determine the value of permanganate of potash as a purifier of water for poultry, and has found that it is very efficient. The germs of cholera and of other in­ testinal diseases are destroyed In a few hours. Th* quantity to use is 14 grains per gallon of water. This quan­ tity can be measured with sufficient accuracy with a ten-cent piece as measure, about 14 grains being car­ ried on it. Permanganate soon loses its strength, which is indicated by loss of the purple color. When this occurs a new solution should be made up. Erikson’s experiments show that small chicks are not injured by drinking permanganate water over a period of nine weeks. It can be safely used when sour milk is being fed, but it is not recommended to be added to milk. Poultry raisers should not place de­ pendence on permanganate as a cure for any disease. Its use is not In­ tended as a cure but as a destroyer of germs that gain entrance to' the drink­ ing water from sick birds, thereby lessening the chance of- the disease spreading in the flock. ' Egg-Eating Habit The habit or vice of egg eating Is difficult to break, once it has been es­ tablished. It usually starts from the birds getting a taste of a fresh egg when it is broken. Sometimes fresh egg shells thrown to the chicks vfrtth- out being heated gives them a taste of the raw, fresh egg. Darkened, large, roomyf nests, the frequent re­ moval of eggs and the immediate re­ moval of any broken shells are the ,most dependable methods for break­ ing an this trouble.

Somerville, N. J.—The will of James B. Duke, tobacco magnate, disposing of an estate estimated at $150,000,000, was filed, leaving the greater part to his 13-year-old daughter, D orii and providing more than $17,000,000 for the Duke endowment established last year. Mrs. Nanallne H. Duke, the widow, his second wife, received the Duke resi­ dences sin three different cities and was named guardian of her daughter. Two separate bequests were given to the Duke endowment to be Jised for the benefis of Duke university at Dur­ ham, N. CS. One was for $10,000,000 to be added to the present fund, and spe­ cified that $4,000,000 shall be used for the construction of a medical school, a hospital and a nurses’ home. The will directs that this construction shall be undertaken as soon as possible. A second benquest was contained in a codicol, drawn October I, just nine days before Mr. Duke's death. This directs tbit residuary income shall be added to the Duke endowment with the proviso that $7,000,000 be used for new buildings and improvements at Duke university. The two bequests add to the $46,- 000,000 fund which Mr. Duke created last DecembeT to advance the cause of education in the south. The edow- ment was accepted by Trinity college, which subsequently changed its name to Duke university. Mrs. Duke receives the Fifth avenue, New York, home, the -residence known as "Rough Point” in Newport, R- I, and- the residence known as Lynne- wood in Myers Park, Charlotte, N. C. Greater provision was not made for his widow, Mr. Duke pointed out, be­ cause of previous funds ■ established in her name. The ’sum of $2,000,000 was set aside for nephews, nieces and cousins, with the condition that only those related by blood should be eligible to parti­ cipate in the bequest. The, sum was directed Io be divided equally. A spe­ cific provision was made that any at­ tempt to contest the will by its bene­ ficiaries shall act as an automatic can­ cellation of any bequest made to the contestant. The will provides that the Duke Farms company in Somerset county, N. J., shill be dissolved and the as­ sets turned over to its shareholders. The Southern Power company, one of Mr. Duke’s largest holdings, was left to his daughter in the form of a trust under her name, which also in­ cludes the residuary estate. Personal employes were left varying amounts, Alexander H. Sands, Jr., Mr. Duke’s secretary, receiving $40,000. William Baldwin received $25,000. Frak E. Vantine, $15,000 and house­ hold servants and farm employes re­ ceived amounts In accordance with the leng'h of their Service. Italiiin Mission Leaves Naples. Naples.—Italy's war debt commis­ sion, headed by Count Volpi, left here aboard the steamship ‘ Duilio for the United States. On their arrival from Rome the commissioners were met by official representatives and a great crowd of citizens, who cheered the minister of the treasury and shouted, “Viva America, viva Italy.” There were various farewell func­ tions aboard the vessel and Count Volpi delivered a brief^hddress. He afterward inquired after Ameri­ cans aboard the Duilio and invited Archbishop Hanna of San Francisco into his stateroom, where they had a most cordial conversation, the head of the Italian delegation declaring that he goes to America animated by an earnest desire , to reach a definite agreement, trusting in the fair judg­ ment and broadmindedness of Ameri­ cans. Navy Day Assignments to Ports. Washington.—The navy department announced its approval list of naval vessals assigned to various. ports as part of the Navy day ceremonies, Oc­ tober 2".

This required' under army procedure ■but it will merely change the legal status of Colonel Mitchell rather than bring about physical restraint of the officer.

DEBT SEniiMENT FINANCE MINISTER CAILLAUX PLANS ANOTHER OFFER TO AMERICA. Washington. — President Coolidge ees in the Locarno security pact a gratifying evidence of Europe’s ability to help, itself, but still is unable to say what the action of the United States will be regarding proposals for ,bring­ ing about new armament limitation agreements between the world powers. It was made clear at the White House that the attitude of the Wash­ ington government respecting partici­ pation in an European armaments conference or the calling of such a conference in this country, could not be foretold at this time. A specific proposal would be required before a de­ cision on that point could be reached, and no such proposal has yet been made to or by the Washington gov­ ernment. The Locarno pact, tht President be­ lieves, has an important influence on the armaments question. He recog­ nizes it not only as a step in advance of the Dawes plan, but as evidence that European political leaders have' been able to reach an agreement of the kind achieved. Moreover, their word has Tieen endorsed by public opinion and to the President, these factors mean that Europe has become suffi­ ciently settled since the armistice for the governments, and peoples as well, to give the world clear proof that they had overcome suspicions and hatreds endorsed by the war. Aside from the safeguard against wars of aggression which the pact creates, Mr. Coolidge finds in it other oustanding assets for the world. He attaches no little significance in this connection to the fact that the pact was drawn up and agreed to by men whose political fortunes were at stake, rather than by a group of experts rep­ resenting the various governments, such as drew up the Dawes plan. President Points Need of Religion. Washington.—More law observance and more religion are needed in this country, President Coolidge told the annual council of Congregational churches in an address. “Lawlessness is altogether too pre­ valent,” he said, "and a lack of re­ spect for government and the conven­ tions of enlightened - society is alto­ gether too apparent. ‘If there are general failures in the enforcement of the law, it is because there have first been general failures in the disposition to observe the law. I can conceive of no adequate remedy for the evils which beset society ex­ cept through the influences of re­ ligion.” The President said there was no form of education, government, or re­ ward which would not fail; “that re­ demption must come through sacrifice and sacrifice is the essence of religion.” He bespoke untold benefit through a broader comprehension of this princi­ ple by the public and continued preach­ ing of it by the clergy. Paris.—Finance Minister CaiUaux is preparing a counter proposal for the settlement of France’s debts to the United States. The substance of this new offer, which is expected to go forward to Washington, was discuss­ ed by Premier Painleve and M. Cail- Iaux at a luncheon attended by other members of the French debt mission that visited Washington. This question was considered at the last meeting of the cabinet, which ap­ proved the suggestion of the finance minister, that another effort be. made at once to come to a compromise with the American debt funding committee before presenting to the chamber of deputies the provisional agreement reached at Washington. Under this settlement France was to pay $40,000,- 000 annually for five years as full cur­ rent interest on the consolidated debt of approximately $4,200,000,000, which FranCe owes to the United States. The cabinet decided that another at­ tempt to come to a definite, final ar­ rangement with America was prefer­ able to an effort to get parliament to ratify the provisional accord. In both the chamber and the senate, a strong current of opinion has set in against the provisional agreement. What France can offer in addition to the proposals the CailIaux mission made at Washington was the subject of discussion between the premier and finance minister. It is generally agreed in official and political circles that France’s capacity to Pay her foreign debts depends on the so­ lution of the pressing difficulties of her treasury. The key to M. Caillaux’s plan to ren­ ovate French finance is the provision of a sinking fuud for both domestic and foreign debts. A settlement with Washington, it is remarked by offi­ cials here, would be easier when the financial measures now in view have been accepted by parliament but the minister of finance is unwilling to delay the renewal of negotiations with the American government until domestic political ‘problems are out of the way. Therefore, with the authority of the cabinet, M. CailIaux probably will send a new offer to Washington before the end of next week. The terms of the new offer remain to be fixed, it was said in official circles, but the opinion of those close to M. Caillaux is that he can only raise the figures of the last French offer at Washington by asking in return , that the American debt commission accept a caluase safeguarding France from making payments that would gravely embarrass her in ease her financial re­ storation were unduly delayed for any reason. Loadings Over Million 12th Week. Washington.—For the 12th consecu­ tive week the million-car mark has been exceeded in freight loadings, the American Railway association an­ nouncing that for the period ending October 10, the country's total reach­ ed 1,106,099. Jury Acquits Brooks. Hendersonville. N. C.—“Not guilty” were the words that fell from the lips of the jury, when Bonnie Brooks, charged with killing former Mayor Sanj1Bryson, was arraigned before the 12 men to hear their verdict. The jury held that Brooks acted in self-defense when he fired the fatal shot that snuffed out the life of Bry­ son on August 6, last. Two ballots were necessary, two of the jurors not having made up their minds fullly on the first ballot. The insanity plea was aot considered. ^$9,000,000 Beer Scandal in Chicago. Chicago—Charges involving scores of Chicago policemen and officials, five big beer syndicates., five railroads and many of their officials and several prohibition agents will be brought be­ fore the federal grand jury as the re-' suit of a six months investigation by prohibition officials. Federal agents declared that the city may bring about the greatest beer running scandal since the ISth amend­ ment became law. They said the evi­ dence will show that eastern brew­ eries, with the connivance of the rail­ roads, have been running as much as $9,000,000 worth of beer into Chicago since the prohibition laws became ef­ fective. The investigation followed the seiz­ ure of 1,000 barrels of beer at Morten Grove, a suburb, last month and the arrest of a policeman and six other men. Working back from this case, the investigators found that shipments of beer had been coming regularly over five railroads for years. Some railroad officials and employes divided a split of $2 a barrel, policemen and dry agents got another percentage out of the breweries and financing syndi­ cates divided the rest. The investigators suppressed all names. Chang!s Forces Lost Heavily. Pekin.—Generals jpf the Chekiang forces which have wrested practically all of Kiangsu province from the troops of Marshal Chang Tso Lin, the Manchurian leader, claim that they captured 7,000 of Chang’s men near Nanking, where the Manchurian forces retreating northward crossed the Yangtze river. Mrs. Vanderbilt Weds Senator, London.—Senator Pete Goelet Gerry, of Rhode Island, and Mrs. Edith Van­ derbilt, widow of George W. Vander­ bilt, ,were married in Savoy Chapel, one of the most historic places of wor­ ship In London. The religious ceremony followed a civil .marriage at the ^Princess Street registry. The only attendants were Mr. and Mrs. John F. A. Cecil, of Lon­ don and William H. Thornley, of Prov­ idence, R. I. A wedding breakfast was served in the Cecil apartment. * Lansing.

' ************** ******* GERMANY A l FRANCE AGREE GERMANY NEVER TO TRESPASS UPON FRENCH AND,BELGIUM SOIL. London.—The fruit of the Locarno security conference was put on dis­ play for all the world to see, when seven treaties, which comprise Eu­ rope’s newest arid most promising pre­ ventive of war, were made public in the various capitals. The first and foremost of the agree­ ments is the security pact, or treaty of mutual guarantee, guaranteeing the inviolability of the frontiers between Germany and Belgium and Germany and France as fixed by the treaty of Versailles. It will be signed at Lon­ don December I, and, assuming that all the signatory governments ratify the pact, it will become effective when Germany joins the league of nations. By the treaty Germany undertakes never to trespass upon the soil of France or Belgium, or make any war­ like gestures in the demilitarized Rhineland area. France and Belgium promise not to violate Germans’s western frontier. Should either party violate the agreements, the pact provides that Great Britain and Italy shall go to the aid of the aggrieved party. The powers parties to the pact agree to submit all their future dis­ putes to judicial treatment, with the council of the league acting as a court. The whole plan is to work under the aegis of the league, it is for that reason that the treaties do not become operative until Germany is a member of that organization. Of the other six treaties that hare come out of the Locarno conversations Germany is signatory to fouiyjbne each with France, Belgium, Poland and Czecho slovakia. These four are iden­ tical; Germany agrees with each of her four neighbors to set up peaceful machinery to settle any disputes she may have lWith any of them that do not yield to ordinary diplomatic treat­ ment. These neighbors of Germany agree to submit any disputes they may have with Germany to an arbitral tri­ bunal organized under the Hague con­ ventions of 1907, or to the permanent court of international justice. WOMEN CAN WfiD UNDER EPISCO’ PAL CEREMONY WITH NO PLEDGE OF OBEDIENCE.- New Orleans.—Rights of women and enforcement of-laws were prominent- 'ly before the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church here. Both subjects claimed conspicuous places in the two houses. Women taking marriage vows under the Episcopal marriage ceremony were definitely relieved from promising to “obey” their husbands when the bish­ ops concurred with the deputies in eliminating the word from the service. The elimination was not accomplished without a contest, however, and the victory tfas won1 without a vote to spare. The test ballot showed 66 to 27, the necessary constitutional ma­ jority being 66. With “obey” went the bridegroom’s announcement to the “bride with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.” The deputies refused to declare women eligible for membership in the general convention, and almost at the same time the bishops refused to auth­ orize biships to license women as lay readers. The deputies had passed such a resolution. Law and order was suggested in two resolutions. In the house of bishops the Right Rev. John C. Ward, bishop of Erie ,offered a resolution unani­ mously adopted, providing: “That facing the danger of the spirit of lawlessness in American life, we welcome the renewed efforts of the government of the United States to enforce strictly and impartially the prohibition law and the anti-narcotic laws, which are so widely and cynic­ ally disregarded, and we call upon the people of our church to set a good example of obedience to law without which no democracy can endure.” Deering Gives to. Charities. „ Miami, Fla.—Providing for outright donation of $1,000,000 to charitable in­ stitutions in Chicago, the will of the late James M. Deering, prominent bus­ iness man of Miami and Chicago, who died at sea, September 21, was filed, in the Dade county court. Provision also is made for the plac­ ing of $500,000 in trust, the income to be used for the maintenance of the Miami City hospital.. Charles Deering, a brother, named | as one executor, is given $175,000 Qut- j right. Villa Viscaya, the Deering • estate to the south of Miami) which j is included in the residuary property, j is to be divided between Charles Deer-; ing and Richard F. Howe, a brother-1 in-law, and the other executor. Mr. j Deering is to receive three-fifths of the estate and Mr. Howe the remain­ der. No appraisal of the estate has been made, according to F. M. Hudson, at­ torney, who drew up the will. Bequests to other relatives, friends; ■and employees total approximately^ $855,000, with the sums ranging in ! size from $100 to $500,000. Charles W. ] C. Deering, a nephew, is given $500,000. Promises Cut in Income Tax. Washington.—Promise of a “very substantial” reduction in the income surtax rates was given by Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee in reply to such a request presented by the Iowa tax clubs. •Mr. Green mentioned no figure, but in effect he expressed approval to Sec­ retary Mellon’s proposal for a reduc­ tion of the maximum surtax rate from 40 to 20 per cent. The request of the Iowa tax clubs was one of many urging various forms of revenue revision or relief submit­ ted to the committee at its third day of public hearings preparatory to the drafting of a bill for consideration of Congress in December. Repeal of the estate and gift taxes again was advocated by witnesses, to­ gether with exemption from taxation of incomes of all municipal employes and of Americans resident abroad and engaged in American trade, while the American Medical association propos­ ed that physicians be allowed to de­ duct from taxable income money spent in post graduate work and in traveling to medical meetings. The treasury, meanwhile, continued work on estimates covering its entire revision program. Indications were given that it might propose an increase !from $400 to $500 in. the exemption al­ lowed in income taxes for each de­ pendent. On the basis of the treasury’s esti­ mates, Secretary Mellon on Monday proposed-a reduction in taxes of $290,- 00d,000, the amount of the surplus over government expeditures which he said would result from the receipts. Of this reduction, he would make $140,000,000 in income rates.

MORE SAVORY FOODS Now that the hubbard squash is ready for maifcet, one may enjoy that delectable vege­ table in various ways. A simple treatment is to cut it into half- pound pieces, un­ peeled, and bake In a moderate oven until soft enough to be scraped from the sh*il. Serve it in the shell with bits of butter dotted over it, with generous sifting of salt and pepper. Peeled and steamed, then mashed with butter, salt, pepper and a bit of cream it makes a dish AArIilch few will refuse Squash Porcupine.—Steam a hub- b«rd squash in the shell. When soft, scrape out Avith a spoon, mash and set in a hot oven after seasoning with salt, sugar, one-fourtli of a teaspoonful of ginger, two tablespoonfuls of butter; beat well and reserve a cupful. Put the squash into a glass baking dish, cover with a cupful of the squash put through a rieer and brown. Cream may be added if moisture is needed. Beef Kidney, Creole Style.—Trim the fat from a fresh kidney and cut into three-quarter inch slices; dredge with flour. Fry out one thick slice of bacon chopped and two tablespoon­ fuls of chopped su « in a deep pan. Add the kidney, four chopped onions and one chopped green pepper. Toss until the meat is well-seared and coat­ ed with a rich broAAn gravy. Noav add one pint of tomatoes, one-eighth of a teaspoonfnl each of cayenne and curry powder and one teaspoonful of salt. CoA-er closely and simmer three-quar- ters of an hour. SerA-e hot on fingers of buttered toast. Apple and Cabbage Salad.—Shred a small purple cabbage very fine, mix with finely sliced, then shredded ap­ ple; add a small portion of chopped celery, a good boiled dressing and a little onion juice. Sprinkle with paprika and serA-e when well chilled. Pineapple added to cabbage with a good dressing is very good, preparing just as above, omittin? the onion juice. Sweet Things. Small cakes and cookies are always a welcome sweet for all seasons and at all times. A well-filled cooky box is a source of great comfort and a resource in times of unexpect­ ed guests. Splce Nuts.—Tc one cupful of sugar add two teaspoonfuls of butter, when AveII- mixed add two Avell-beaten eggs, one cupful of flour, ^one-fourth of a cupful of thinly shredded citron, one-half tea­ spoonful of cinnamon, one-fourth cup­ ful of almonds, one-fourth teaspoolSfui each of allspice stid cloves.

M o d es fo r S easo n O ffe re d b y P aris These are the vital. features of the autumn openings of the Paris cou­ ture—an essentially broader silhouette, a AvaIstline which is definite and dis­ tinct and which shoAvs a rising ten­ dency, the back flare, a skirt length which, while little changed mathe­ matically, has added lengthening ef­ fects, a generous amount of elabora­ tion In trimming and details, and a direct departure’ from bizarre boyish­ ness. Now the word of Paris, as issued at these seasonal openings, says a fash­ ion writer In the NeAV York Herald- Tribune1 is no longer uttered ln .the stentorian tones of pre-war days, when the smartest French designers spoke but to be obeyed. It has be­ come In comparison a still, small voice to be followed or, not, according to the inclinations of fashion’s new aris­ tocracy, the mesdames of'the mode— otherAvise known as the penultimate consumers. No longer does an un­ critical public accept willy nilly the convention-made dicta of the Rue de la Paix and surrounding avenues, and probably half the themes launched at each semi-annual showing are ruth­ lessly discarded by the spirited mem­ bers of the modern haute monde. Wherefore it behooves the followers of fashion to carefully analyze the new themes in order to separate the chaff from the wheat, and in order to ascertain which themes are to be the distinguishing marks of the cliic monde during the season. The Invariable Flare. The Avider silhouette per se offers no problem save in the minds of those Avho are constitutionally unable to shake off the thrill of the slim straight line, Resistance, of course, is the hu­ man element Avhich combats every fashion change, and the long dnration of the narrow silhouette made the de­ parture from It more than usually dif­ ficult. Last autumn witnessed a few tremulous instances of the flare, al- wsys with the straight line ottered as an alternate; last spring saw most of the couture converted to the Avider outline, and the present season has uncompromisingly declared itself in faA’or of the full silhouette. The defined waistline is another theme to Avliich the mode and its fol­ lowers -were predisposed. Long years of tubular iteration had made the waistless outline appear a little jaded even in the eyes of its most ardent adherents, and changes have been Sleeveless Tnnic of Black Velvet Bcr- dered in Bands of Fur, hinted at occasionally during previous^ openings. It cannot be said that the defined waistline is anything near ,as universal or distinct a tendency as the broad silhouette, but the idea has been incorporated into the leading collec­ tions. and it is certain to gain mo­ mentum as the season progresses. Just now it occupies the same position as the. flare a year ago—it is not pre­ scribed and it can be omitted, but the forward-looking ladies of the mode Arill avidly accept it. Predisposition tfas the raison d’etre for the back flare. Spring and summer having Avitnessed front flares and side flares ad infinitum, it was only natural that the designers AA-ould seek new havens for their elabora­ tions, and nothing but the back re­ mained. The flat back had been one of the prime essentials of the old out­ line and it Avas almost heresy to dare disturb it, but the couture, acceding to the restlessness of tlie moment, made the attempt. It has not been a par­ ticularly happy one and most of the effects achieved haA-e been awkward and inartistic. Unless the Paris salons are able to incorporate the back flare in a' more attractive manner it is doomed to pass quickly into the dis­ card. In any case it is not an essen­ tial of tine mode and its acceptance is purely an individual matter—Jt is neither a prescribed nor a proscribed element of the new cliic. Moderai.? skin length, elaborate decoration and the passing of the mode garcon are three effects with but a single cause. Bizarre extremes are at best tlie vogue of a single sea­ son, and the ever-increasing tide of fashion toward normalcy has account­ ed for all of these three eftects. The abbreviated skirt had reached the kneeline in Paris, and whatever phys­ ical freedom It afforded its wearer was more than offset by the accom­ panying mental discomforts suffered by the cultured woman. Moderation is the keynote to taste, and the acute­ ly abbreviated skirt was its direct an­ tithesis. The present skirt length, while not materially different than last season's, has added points and scallops to convey greater length, and most designers have created the ma­ jority of their models to giA’e this lower effect. Just as the tendency of tlie Avaistline is to go a little higher, the skirt hem is headed a little lower, and the smart autumnal maiden, Avhile retaining in general the short skirt, will never let it reach the distressful Brocaded Velvet Frock Which Follows Line of Figure to Knees. extremes of last season. Fifteen inches off the ground is about the proper length. Elaboration and a more feminine at­ mosphere to the new models obviously go hand in hand. The very boyish bob and an inartistic mannishness affected by some Paris extremists during the summer led many to belieA-e that se- vere mannishness was to be the guld-. ing spirit of autumn fashions. As has been frequently pointed out, the ten­ dency of the mode in smart circles was and is distinctly toward maturer, saner and more feminine styles,, and the severe coif AA-as last summer’s only real evidence of mannishness, save among some blzarrists avIio carried little authority. At any rate the au­ tumn offerings are more frilly than In many seasons and there is every Indi­ cation that increased elaboration avIU meet with faA-or among the minions of the mode. For in the ranks of fashion the eternal feminine is steadily replac­ ing the fleeting feminist Patou Uses Fuller Lines. The Patou collection always marks a milestone on the road of fashion. WheneA-er anything new is to be shown one can be sure of finding the latest Interpretation of the novelty In the stately salons of the Rue St. Florentin. This season Patou con­ tents himself with stabilizing the new higher waistline' that he introduced in the spring, and even there he temporizingly admits the possibility of other things, for some of his new models have the waistline near the Jiips1 Avliile others raise it so that length of skirt is the main feature on AVhicli emphasis is laid. Both coats and dresses are fuller than before, while jackets are either very long or very short. These, like the wraps, are copiously trimmed with fur which, according to Patou, is the only trimming able to create an effect of richness and comfort in winter time. Many plain fabrics are used, in­ cluding the old favorite crepe satin, but the dominating note this Avinter is silk velvet. There is also a new silk velvet with a straight pile, some­ thing like a plush. This velA-et falls in a special manner and Jean Patou has retained the exclusivity of the fabric for some months to come, so that models made of it may be consid­ ered as characteristic of that house. Colors are rich and A'aried. There is, of course, the black, brown and beige that always forms the basis of the Avinter wardrobe, but much red is used, especially a grenadine shade and a deep Corinthian red that has been christened Patou’s Corin­ thian. There are also two neAv greens, one a yellowish shade, the' other a deep moss green, Avhile the gamut of blues has not been neglected- Children M O TH E R :- F letch er's Castoria is especially prepared' to relieve Infants in arms and Children all ages of Constipa­ tion, Flatulency, Wind Colic and Diarrhea; allaying Feverishness arising therefrom,.and, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids the assimilation of •Food; giving healthy and natural sleep.

In n week nil the prairie was blanketed deep with snow. Then cauie the great night. At this time of the year, In this Iatt- ture, it is dark by five in the after­ noon, particularly If the sky happen to be overcast. On the day in ques­ tion Jack and I had done up our few chores about the stable, carried in a supply of water and firewood, and re­ turned to our shacks for supper. Mar­ jorie, brisk, efficient housewife that she was. had the table set when I came in. Our meals were perforce simple, and when we had finished and the few dishes were cleared away I looked at my watch. It was barely six o’clock. “This is going to be !mother of our long, long evenings," Marjorie re­ marked, with what seemed like a sug­ gestion of complaining. “Suppose you ask Jack and Jean to come over; I don't feel like going out in the snow." “Jean may not feel like going out, either," I retorted. “I guess she’s as much like sugar as you are/’ I added. Iiaving in my mind some reference to an adage about sugar melting. "I fancy you think she’s a good deal more like sugar than I am, brother o’ mine," Marjorie returned. “Well, run along and find out." Later, when I recalled that remark, I was struck by its significance, but at the moment I Iiad no suspicion that Jack and Marjorie were working a scheme on me. I have always held that Jean was innocent of any part in it. So urged, I pulled on my pea-jacket and overshoes and fur cap and started out on the hundred-yard jaunt from our shack to the one across the gully. I made the trip without difficulty and entered without knocking as was our custom In our numerous visits tack and forth. Jean looked up from the table where she sat reading. “Alone, Frank?” she said, when I had closed the door behind me. “Yes; where’s Jack? I came to see—” “Jack left for Fourteen some time ago. He was going to ask you and Marjorie to come over. You must have passed him.” “That’s rather funny, That’s what I came for, if you reverse It. Strange I didn't see him on the way.” “He may have looked in at the stable again, to make sure that the stock are all right," Jean suggested “He said it looked like rough weather." I stood for a moment, undecided whether I should go back for Jack and Marjorie, or ask Jean to go with me. It was she who settled the ques­ tion. “Take off your things, Frank,” she invited. “Jack will be there by this time, and will keep Marjorie com­ pany. ft is not a good night for a girl to go walking." So I stayed, although a little self­ consciously. Jean and I had known each other’s company since childhood, but, at least since coming to the West, we had hardly seen each other alone. Always Jack or Marjorie, or both, were somewhere about. There had been, of course, that sudden, im­ petuous, unspoken revelation when we returned from our harvest ab­ sence in the settlements, but there had been no talk of love between Jean and me. I had treasured that moment as a bit of wonderful memory, as a glimpse of wonderful promise, but I had not presumed upon it; I had con­ cluded that two months’ loneliness had been too much for Jean’s reserve, and that she had done something it hardly would be fair to talk about. . . . Doubtless Jack, when he found I had missed him, would be back shortly. I took my wraps off and sat down beside the stove. The warmth was very pleasant after the buffeting of the snow, and Jean looked very lovely and tempting In the soft glow of the lamp on the table. I felt a strange embarrassment growing upon me as the moments were ticked off by the little alarm clock on the shelf. The embarrassment grew until I felt that I must break it by speech of some kind. “What are you reading?” I ven­ tured at last. “Nothing." "Nothing! You have a honk—” “I know, hut I'm not reading It.” "Then what are you doing?" “Just waiting.” “Waiting? For what?” Then she looked up at me. and there was a light In her eyes that was strange and good to see, hut it sent my brain reeling. For a moment she looked at me thus, and started my heart thump-thumping Uke a steam pump. Then her eyes drooped. “Don’t you know, Frank?” she mur­ mured. Her face was ruddy In the glow of the lamp, and the pink skin shone a color that was not nil reflected. Amaz­ ing as was her revelation I could no IOnger fail to understand it. I rose and walked to the table; I took her hands in mine and lifted her to her feet. “You are waiting for me to—kiss you, Jean,” I whispered. Slie was trembling, but she spoke with' outward composure. “T7iere Is something else, first.” “Something else—first? I don’t un­ derstand.” “You should.” I could not follow her thought. “I kissed you once before," I ventured. “Many times before." “No, only once. The other times were when we were children. They don’t count." “Do tldngs that liappened when we were children not count—with you?" “Do they—with you?" “Ask me, and see." It Iiad come; the moment of which I had told myself in dreams and visions; the moment to which I had looked forward with a strange fear and a great hope. “Jean.” I whispered. “I love you. Will you lie my wife?" As I write the words they seem very bare and uiatter-of-fact. But they were all th..t Jean required. She made no spoken answer, but she turned her face to mine, and I drew her up in my strong arms and kissed Iier in the breathless passion of our young love. . . . After a time, with one box serving us both, we talked of our future. I hinted that circumstances made our immediate marriage somewhat de­ pendent upon the course that Jack and Marjorie might elect to follow. I took it for granted that Jack and Marjorie would marry, but I was very vague In my Idea as to when (his would happen. I don’t think we shall have to wait on Jack and Marjorie," Jean remarked, knowingly. “I rather think they have been waiting on us.” ‘Then they need wait no longer," I said, boldly. “I am ready at once; now." 'We' might make It by Christmas," Jean remarked, more thoughtfully. “We can’t afford my special wedding clothes but we can at least-afford a few weeks’ anticipation." “Then Christmas be It I” I exclaimed. “Oh. Merry Christmas!” I was so stirred with a strange new joy that all the future looked rosy and inviting. But suddenly I felt Jean’s arm lighten on my neck and' I looked up in her face just in time to catch the splash of a warm tear on my cheek. I was immediately filled with wonder and misgiving. What could make Jean cry in a moment of such happiness? I pressed the question. “I’m not sorry,” she said at length, “but I’m a little—frightened. Not for you; for myself. Oh, my dear Frank, illy dear boy—will you always—will we ulways—love each other as we <b tonight?” Manlike, I assured her that of course we would. She rested her liead against mine, and for awhile she seemed to nestle at peace in the soft luxury of our love. But presently a shiver ran through her frame, and drawing back a little, she looked me fairly in the eyes. “You know, Frank,’’ she murmured, “it seems strange to say it, but I am so glad to get this settled." “Not gladder than I, little one,” said I, slipping my lips tc endearments with the awkwardness of my racial reti­ cence. “You couldn't be gladder than I am.” “I have waited so long,” she con­ tinued. almost disregarding my Inter­ ruption, “to get it settled—to be sure of myself—to know Just what is going to happen.” By ROBERT STEAD Author of “The Cow Puncher,” “The Homesteadert” W NU Service C opyrieht by R obert Stead “To te sure of yourself? How sure of yourself?" Slie dropped Into a moment’s silence, as though studying her words before attempting an answer. “You won’t mis­ understand, I think, Frunk," she said a t. length, “if I tell you that. I have been somewhat like a traveler on the prairie who comes upon two roads, and is not quite sure which he should take. Let us say a storm is sweeping down from the north, and his very life depends on the right decision. But the longer he stands there, looking at them, the harder it is to make the choice. It’s a comfort to choose, and be on one's way." “But suppose he chooses the wrong way?" I blundered out, only half fol­ lowing her meaning. “Oil, Frank I” she cried, seizing my shoulders in her strong, supple hands. “It mustn't, mustn’t, mustn’t be the wrong way! I won’t Imve It the wrong way—I won't think of that as pos­ sible! See, here we are. And we have known, always, since we were little children, tiiat we were for each other, haven’t we, Frank? It has always been settled, in heaven, don't you think, and we have just' confirmed it? Oh, I know it has—I Irnow it lias!" “I have never doubted it,” I said. And even as I uttered the words the first little poisoned arrow of doubt in some way dodged through my armor and stung me In the heart. Perhaps it Wtis the reaction to Jean's ve­ hemence; perhaps It was that I saw her striving over-hard to convince her­ self. And from being over-sure I now craved to be assuretl. “Y'ou are quite sure?" I ventured, after another silence in which I fel* that subtle poison slowly chilling through my veins. "You are quite sure you should not have taken the road to section Two?" “Oh, Frank!” For a moment she burled iier face In my shoulder, then she lifted her head proudly, like one “You’re on Twenty-Two, AU Right, but Why Did You Come Back?” Wlio goes forth resolutely to try Iiis spirit in some great issue. “Yes, I’m sure! Spoof Is to me only a neighbor, an acquaintance, always. I am quite sure.” “And there was no third trail, no little-beaten third path that might have been the one to be chosen?" I persisted, anxious to stifle my demon of doubt ut its birth. “Y’ou are thinking of Brook,’’ she caught me up instantly. “Let that give you no uneasiness. Brook was only an Incident—a rather pleasant inci­ dent,” she added, and for the first time I realized how exquisitely tan­ talizing Jean could be, “but an inci­ dent, after all. Let's not talk\ about It, or think about It, any more, at all. Everything Is settled.” ’ So, by force of will, we turned our minds into happy, unquestioning chan­ nels, and talked of the future, our fu­ ture—and built fairy dream castles that were most wonderful things to dream about. From time to time Jean arose from uiy knee to throw fresh wood on the fire but she needed no coaxing to return. Some strange phe­ nomenon had already occurred between us, and Jean, with all her gentleness and beauty and delicacy, no longer walled herself about with quite the same barrier of shyness as had been her custom. But her soul, I knew, was as pure as the snow sifting across the white prairies outside. At last we had to come back to 'eurth. “It’s growing colder," said Jean, as she again replenished the fire. Then, glancing at the little clock on the shelf, “Why, It’s after midnight I Jack is late.” “Are you uneasy for him?” "No—why should I? Jack Is all right. And I have you. But I thought he would have been back before this. . . . Listen I" We strained our ears, and presently became aware that what had seemed to be the silence of 'the 'night was really full of noises. The wind whined with an eerie note, about the eaves of the little shack, and the tremor of its pressure ran through the bo.ard walls and wrung mournfuj creakings from the slender framework of the building. Above all came a sound of rushing, as though the night itself swept by, drumming on the tin Chimnej-Piece as it went. The inces­ sant lash of snow against the black panes of the windows gave further notice of the rising storm. “Perhaps I had better go home,” I said ut length. “Jack is doubtless wait­ ing there until I turn up.” “You have the same privilege to wait here until he turns up,” Jean com­ mented. "Still, I suppose it’s the right thing to do.” So, reluctantly enough, I got into my penjacket, cap, and overshoes, and with Jean’s goodnight kiss on my lips, and a promise to come again very soon,’ I opened the door. The moment I did so the suction of the storm put out the light, and the next instant a flail of icy snow particles lashed through the room. I pressed the door shut again while Jean found matches. “Such a night!” she exclaimed. “Is it quite safe to try it?” “Of course! It’s not a liundred yards, and I could make it with my eyes shut.” So, with another farewell (for good measure) I started again, Jean shad­ ing the lamp while I rushed through the door and closed it behind me. My first sensation was of having been clutched by the neck; of being stran­ gled in a grip which I could not throw off. In a few moments the worst of that sensation passed, and my lungs began pumping violently, working against the partial vacuum created by the storm, it was not very cold, but the snow stung the face where it struck; it clung In the eyebrows, melted, and ran Into the eyes, blurring such poor vision as there was In the gaunt grayness ttnlt buffeted from every side. I looked for the light of the shack on Fourteen, but it was nowhere to be seen; evidently its faint rays could not beat their way through the hundred yards of swirling tempest that Inter­ vened. So, taking careful note of my directions, I started out, my head bowed to save my face from the lash-. Ing of the storm; my legs wallowing uncertainly through the varying depths of drifts. At length I knew I had come to the edge of the gully; although I could see nothing I was aware that I was going sharply down a steep slope. Here at points the snow was already piled in great drifts and I plunged through It waist deep, only to come suddenly upon a bare, icy spot where I lost my balance and fell. I was now at the bottom of the coulee, and the ascent proved even more difficult than coming down. I had to plow through deep drifts and scramble up icy ledges, and I could only suppose that I hud reached the top by the greater violence of the storm. Nothing was to be seen but a ;ray mist; my eyes were almost com­ pletely closed with snow and ice, I was not cold; indeed, I was warm, but I began to realize that my exertions and the strangling sensation I felt in breathing were quickly exhausting, me. However, there could not be mucli further to go, and I pressed on. it is wonderful how little sense of distance the average man has when deprived of the'service of ills eyes. He may walk a road every day In the year and yet have but a faint idea of the number of paces it represents. He probably could not tell you how many steps there are in the stairs of his house. As to direction he is even more hopelessly at sea, and when, in addi­ tion to these difficulties, he is plunging waist deep through snow drifts and buffeted by a fifty-mile gale he is In imminent danger of becoming hope­ lessly lost. Just how near to that state I had come I began to realize, and it was with more relief than I would have cared to admit that I at length dis­ cerned a faint glow of yellow light battling against the storm and throw­ ing fantastic specters into the night. I was soon at the shack, and, groping my way along the wall, I reached the door and buret in. Jean was 3itting by the stove, her wonderful hair down about her back and neck, her face resting in her hands, her feet on the rail of-{he stove and her dainty ankles peeping out from under her woolen skirt. But for the moment my appreciation of her charms was buried in amazement. “Jean! what are you doing here?" “Frank! You’ve come buck! What is the matter?" I threw off my mitts and rubbed the snow from my eyes while Jean took my cap and shook it and then stood by, eagerness and apprehension In her face. Then, when I was quite sure I was not In a dream or a mirage, “i guess I’m back on Twenty-two, am I?" I said, as one who, suddenly awak­ ened from sleep, finds It impossible to recall his surroundings. “You’re on Twenty-two all right, but why did you come back? Not that I'm not glad to see you—you know I am Frank, deur, always—but, why did you come hack?” "I guess it’s because my time hasn’t come,” I answered, soberly. “r Ve heard of getting turned around In a storm, but I didn’t know it could hap­ pen so easily. I suppose it was when I fell at the bottom of the gully •’ “Well, you’re here, and we’re not ;oing to take any more chances,” said Jean, slipping her arms about my nbck when I had told her. “We’re going to have a little supper, and If Jackdoesnh come you will stay until he doe&” Jean hustled about and my eyes fol­ lowed every graceful movement as she prepared hot tea and made toast at the fire, and found a jar of preserves that she had cached away for some special occasion. And when we had finished our betrothal banquet she gave me a lamp and sent me into Jack’s room. And after a little her limpid voice called to me a last goodnight, and through the open doorway of my parti­ tion—we could not afford unnecessary doors In those days—I saw her slender hand, tossing me a caress. And then her light went out. and I lay under Jack’s warm blankets listening to the roar of the storrfi and hoping Jack was quite all right, and marveling nt the amount of happiness one human heart can hold. My doubts were gone; my faith was again the faith of a little child. And my mind wandered back Into the past and picked up again those tender days of childhood when Jean and I played together beside the dam, and the sober millwheel across the stream flung its myriads of diamonds in the air. And Jean had saved me in those days, and I vims to be hers— hers and she mine, forever!******* I awakened with1 a consciousness that the shack was very, very cold. Under the blankets I was warm enough, but the breath with which I filled my lungs was the ,breath of the Arctic. Tlie cabin was in inky dark­ ness. Outside, the whine of the gale had risen to a roar, and the frail tim­ bers of the little shanty creaked -and trembled under its fury. I thought of Jack, and wondered. The telephone— best of all God’s gifts through the in­ ventive mind of nian to those who live in the isolation of vast distances— was as yet not In general use on the prairies. As I look tonight at the telephone 011 my desk by means of which I can speak instantly to Jack’s house or any other house in the neigh­ borhood I am reminded that these miracles of today are accepted so much as a matter of course that we are in danger of forgsttlng what the world was before they came. But that night there was no telephone on my wall, or Jack’s; no fire-shod messengers from house to house could bear through the storm the cheerful news that all was well. So I thought of Jack and wondered. Jean had accepted his absence with composure; she afterwards said that Brook, the mounted policeman, had told her that the man who was prairie wise, when caught away from home by a storm, stayed where he was safe, even if his doing so occasioned some uneasiness to his friends. “It is better that your friends should be uneasy while the storm is on than that they should follow you with flow­ ers when the weather clears,” Brook had declared, and Jean, after accept­ ing the philosophy, had passed it on to Jack. She had no doubt that he was as safe on Fourteen as was I on Twen­ ty-two. But I had none of this philosophy to steady me, and I was decidedly uneasy about Jack. My brief wrestle with the storm had shown me how easy It was to become hopelessly’ lost even among tlic most familiar surroundings and how soon exhaustion would overpower one. A little irresistible shiver of nervousness ran up my spine as I real­ ized how fortunate I had been in com­ ing back to my starting point. I might have missed It and gone on into the night. . . . Jean seems to be sure, at last. But is she? Girls have been known to change their minds. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Great Christian Creed The Athanasian creed was one of the three great creeds of Christendom —the two others being the Apostles' creed and the Nicene creed. It de­ rives Its name from ^Athanasius, the opponent of Arius and champion of orthodoxy, by whom it was supposed to have been written. It is the most rigid of three creeds mentioned, and was the standard of orthodoxy during the Middle ages. It is famous for its so-called “damnatory clauses." By many it . Is thought to have been writ­ ten by Sergeant Hilary of Arles about 450; some argue fo- a later date, be­ tween TOO and 800. while others pro­ nounce It a forgery.—Exchange. / —Guinea Pigs for Table Guinea pigs, used as food are taked whole, or may be cut into pieces and fried or fricasseed.
