C. Here is a quotation from J. Wil­ bur Chapman, that mighty prince of preachers: "Some time ago came up from Porto Rica. The ship that qrought me was caught in a fearful storm We weta lock­ ed in the stateroom to keep us out of danger. After it was all over, I asked the captain if a storm like that was not the thing' he feared most No. it was nrt. Such storms, he said, were common. I asked him If, in sailing to the north, an iceberg was not the thing most feared. Again he said there were other things more to be feared. ‘What is it then,’ I asked, ‘that you fear most?’ ‘A derelict,* he said, ‘derelict—a ship that bears no compass, no chart, no sailors, no commander, that sails tor no port, and to no port, that simply drifts.’ ” This incident from Chapman’s writing makes us think of the bu man derelicts all about, us, and all over the world. There are multi, plied millions of them. Who are they? Well, they are people with­ out God as their Captain to protect them, to guide and direct them; people who do not read nor study the Bible to know how to live; peo­ ple who do not prav m r live spiri­ tual lives; who have no high aims and no great purposes; who merely eke out an exisfance by drifting a- long with the tide of sin and wick edness. Some of them are drunk­ ards. some are liars, some are a- dulterers, some are gamblers, some are rogues, some are haters of God and the tight, some are loafers and loungers, some are money-grabbers, etc. They are found In practically all classes of society and among rll people, except the real people of God. Human derelicts drift, drift, drift. They have no port to which they are sailng; no goal for which, they are striving to attain. Some of them have great privileges and wonderful opportunities, but they let them die on their hands, or by their side. They could be power­ ful men and women of God, where­ as, they drift with the evil, sinful, wicked tide that the devil brings to bear against all mankind, and of course never reach any blessed port in this manner of living, and like­ wise endanger the lives of their fel. Iowmen all about them It is pa- thetic. O how fearful to be a de­ relict drifting along life’s journey and over the sea of Ume, and yet facing God, the judgment and e- ternity! Man, woman, boy, girl, don’t be a derelict. Assuch you'll go down in eternal defeat, and in the meantime help to defeat others Lenoir and Caldwell Outlaw SaleOf Wine Lenoir—W ne Shops in Lenoir and Caldwetl county will be abolished an I the sale of wine prohibited in the city and county about the mid­ dle of next month, according to a re solution adopted by the Lenoir city council and action by the Caldwell county commissioners at their meet­ ings House Bill 966, which was intro­ duced by the Repcesentative Pritch- ett in the recent General Assembly meeting in Raleigh, made it possible for the local government officials to prohibit, the sole of this beverage in Caldwell county. Chatham Bnys Up Wool In 5 Western Counties T h e Chatham Manufacturing Company, of Elkin, has purchased the entire wool output of Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga counties in North Carolina, and Carroll and Grayson counties in Virginia, it is announced by a company official. Wool purchased amounted to between 100,000 and 125,000 lbs. for which an average of 54 cents per pound was paid. On Peace-Time Con­ scription Joseph Grew, former embassador, to Tokyo, now acting Secretary of State in the absence of Mr. Stet- tinius, argues that if America bad been military prepared, J a p a n would not have attacked us. By miilitary preparation h e means peace-time conscription. There is no proof that prepared, ness ever saved a country from' at tack. Poland was prepared back in 1939 . France was prepared both In 1914 and 1939 . Russia was in 1941. Germany attacked them. France, since Napoleon’s day has boasted th e finest best trained standing army in the world. France has bad peace-time conscription for more than a hundred years Yet she has been attacked time and time again, and was beaten each time until England and America came to her rescue dnrlng the last two years. The Austro-Hungarian empire had peace-time miilitary con scription prior to the first world war. Every able bodied citizen was compelled to serve three years In the active service, and 14 years in the reserves, being called to the colors for several weeks each sum­ mer, after his three years was up, for maneuvers a n d refreshers course. Austria, which then had a population almost as large as Ger- mamv, had perhaps ten to fifteen million trained men in her armies. Yet she lost that war, Germany has had peace time conscription since the days of Frederick the Great, but she went down to mis. erable defeat in both world wars. Great wars don’t happen over, night, Mr. Grew was well aware of Japan’s intentions, preparations and ambitions, and he undoubted. Iy kept Washington fully - inform­ ed while Le served as embassador to Tokyo. We were not entirely un prepared for Japan’s attack and Pearl Harbor came as a surprise to nobody who read a newspaper. The Japs started slapping British and American subjects around years before Pearl Harbor, and it would have been easy enough to build up military strength in time had it not been for a policy of uppearse- ment and pussy-footing. Congress refused appropriations to fortyfy Guam because Japan might take offense. Japanese spying activities were an ever-ready source of in­ spiration for the country’s profes­ sional humorists, Japanese "con­ sular employees” and tourists were thick on the Hawiian islands; pur- pose of their presence there was openly talked about, but no effort was made to oust them. Tbe Japa. nese war department maintained a suite of offices in New York city, •ind we sold and shipped them fin. ished war products, scrap metals and raw materials until the very day of attack. While this was ends we will have twelve to fourteen million of the best trained, best equipped, battle, seasoned miilitary and naval forces in the world. Why train more? If war comes again it will cast its shadows ahead. The wotld is weary of millitarism. Let us work for peace instead of preparing for war agatn.—Statesville Landmark.

WAR BONDS $200,000 Loan Made To Elfiott Roosevelt Is Settled For $4,000 John Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com- pampany, Tuesday, described as "substantialy correct” a published report that Elliott Roosevelt, son of the late President, borrowed $200.- 000 from him in 1939. Tbe debt was secretary of com­ merce, Caruthers Ewing, A. and P. general counsel, said in Danville, 111. Asked for comment on the story as it appeared Tuesday in West­ brook Pegter’s column, syndicated by King Features. Hartford said: "It is not the whole story but it is substantially correct. "It is not the whole story but it is substantiaily correct. I would not have made it public myself and I regret very much that it has been published.” Elliott Roosevelt, now a brigadier- general in the army air forces could not be reached for comment. Pegler said there was "no doubt that, President Rooseveit knew of the loan and approved it ” Elliott Roosevelt, then 29, sought the loan to finance his Texas Riko in­ terests, Ewing said, adding that after the loan was made he asked to see "trial balances,” on the Texas operations.” "They were losing money band over fist.” Ewing said. Ewing said the next contact he had with the matter was in 1942 when Jonas told him "The Roose- velt family” wanted to comprose the indebtedness. Ewing said he took young - Roose­ velt’s note and stock collected to Jonas and that "Jones gave me a check payable to John Hartford for $4,000, which was all Hartford ever received on the ioan and the whole thing waB closed.” Tired of New Deal Herbert Urownelll Jr., chairman of the Republican National Committee commented on iast week’s Republi­ can victory in the Second Congres sional District of Montana as follows: "The smashing victory won in this special Congressional election in Montana by the Republican candi­ date. Wesley A. D’Ewart, is an ad­ dition indication that the voters are tired of New Deal mismanagement and are determined to restore con trol of the American Government to the American people. “This district had not had a Re­ publican representative in Congress since 1932. Last year the Democra­ tic candidate carried the district by 9,751 votes. There has been no change in sentiment demonstrated by yesterday’s election speaks for it­ self. Our boys must keep on fight­ ing—we must keep on buy­ ing WAR BONDS until vic­ tory is won. Keep on BACK­ ING THE ATTACK. % Public Housrng Projects The Willow Run bomber plant con­ structed by the government at Ypsi- Ianti Michigan, at a cost of around 100 million dollars, is about to close down, the war housing project built in connection with it will soon be a ghost town. William Run served a useful purpose, but, comments.. the Ann Arbor New in connection with the closing of the project, "mistakes were made in the building of Wil­ low Run Village. Mistakes due to many causes Mistakes due to over­ estimating needs. Mastake due to unrealistic theorizing. Mistakes due to a species of sociological hysteria. Mistakes due to faulty planning. Mistakes due to pressure from self- serving groups. The mistakes at Willow Run are multiplied a thousand-fold through, out the country. They are costly mistakes. There were a total of 4 460 family units .constructed, and 5.014 rooms for single workers. In April, while Willow Run was still go­ ing full blast turning out Liberators bombess. o n ly 1,968 apartments were occupied, plus 288 rooms rent­ ed in the lodge, or a total of I 688 oc copied units of the 9,474 in the en tire project. During the plant’s peak output only a fraction of the available units were occupied. Says the Ann Arbor News: ‘It is nc use now to weep over these mistakes. But from these mistakes. But from these mistakes we should learn lessons—lessons t at many save us many thousands of dol­ lars. that may save us from going a- strav in connection with future pro­ jects of this type. It is well for us to realize these mistakes and parti­ cularly to profit by them. '‘‘Visitors to Willow Run village will see mafiy bouses that were never occupied—even when the bomber plant had peak empoiyment. They will see the so called corncrib dormi tories for men that were never used. They will see the concret pavements and foundations of a proposed trad­ ing center that was located far from the village and across two main trunk lines- a trading center so fool­ ishly misplaced that abandonment was ordered immediately after it was checked by a responsible Govern­ ment agent. They will see housing sections that were already well on the way to becoming brightened areas, at least in appearance, even before word came of the bomber plant closing. They will see things to admire and things to condemn. ‘But tbe important thing is that those who are interested see William Run village before it is too late Then, perhaps, they will have a bet ter idea of what Federal emergency housing means. Perhaps they will be able to form more sound opinions op both pnblic housing and low- priced housing in general.”—States­ ville Daily.

A Review Ol Scripture Reviewing, amplifying, making more definite Mr. A. J. Crater’s ar­ ticle in The Record of June 20th. Same preachers preach no law—that under grace one can do as he pleases, and so everv law is broken and dese­ crated. We huve a world over-run with sin. a transgression of the law. and bv the law is the knowledge of sin. Many preach that man is immortal and can’t die. The Book says the wages of sin is death; the soul that sinneth, it shall die, that God only hath immortality. Many teach and preach that the parable of the rich man and Lazarus is not a parable. The Rook savs that Jesus spoke to the people only in. parables.” But without a parable spoke he not unto them,” and when he was alone he expounded all things to his disciples. Some preach that when a man dies he don’t die—that the good live in paradise, the bad in a burning hell, and the Book teaches that man re­ ceives bis reward at the resurrec­ tion. Both classes come forth at the resurrection to receive their reward. The last big falsehood up to date, is that the world is to have a per­ manent peace. The Book teaches when they say peace and safety, sud­ den destruction comes. See also 1st Trimothy1 3.16 AU these are fun­ damental Bible doctrines messed up and dished out as truth. When men preach contrary to Bible truth they work for the enemy of souls and board themselves; What will the harvest be? The wheat and tares are growing - soon, very soon the harvest. Many preach that Sunday, the first of the week, is the Lord’s Day, with­ out Bible proof. Tbe Book says the Sabbath, the 7tb day. is tbe Sabbeth of the Lord thy God, and Jesus said He, the son of man, is Lord of the Sabbetb, so tbe 7th day must be the Lord’s Day. See Mark 2.28.

An increase of 67 per cent over last year’s harvested acreage of al- sike clover seed is sought in 1945, a total of 179,000 acres. One reason for the larger acreage is file urgent call for this seed from liberated areas of Europe, in addition to in­ creasing home requirements for hay and soil protection. Half again as much alfalfa seed is needed as was harvested in 1944, about 100,000,000 pounds. About 120,000,000 pounds of red clover seed are needed, some 15 per cent more than was produced last year. Hay and pasture account for more than three-quarters of the feed consumed by dairy cows and fur­ nish a major share of the feed for other livestock. In addition, farmers depend on legumes and grasses to check soil erosion and maintain fertility. For example, legumes used as green manure add nitrogen to the soil and when grown in mixtures, they fur­ nish this essential element to the grasses in the mixture. When used in crop rotations, legumes maintain and increase the acre yield of ,V*I ^ F\ &s$* J i Gathering Cash -Seed Crop. other crops. Both grasses and legumes are valuable as permanent cover for the land, holding the soil against erosion by wind and water. Good prices and a ready market are indicated for legume and grass seed in 1945-46, pointing to addition­ al income for farmers from prop­ erly managed fields. The first' crop of many of these plants may be cut for hay or used as pasture, and the second harvested for seed. Killing Bean Beetles Mexican bean beetle, left, and bean leaf beetle, right, can be gotten rid of by spray or dust with cryo­ lite every 10 days until pods begin to form, then using rotenone. For cryolite spray use I ounce to I gallon of water. For dust, 2 pounds to I pound of talc. For rotenone spray, use Derris or cube root powder, 5 per cent rotenone content, V i ounce to I gallon water. For dust, use ready prepared dust mixture containing at least I per cent of rotenone. Save the Tractor and Conserve Time and life Time, money, injuries and deaths resulting from tractor accidents may be largely prevented by prop­ er operation. Avoid holes or ditches that may cause tractors to over­ turn. Drive slowly, reduce speed on turn or when applying brakes. Nev­ er ride on draw bar. Don’t permit riders. Make all adjustments while tractor is idle. Stop power take-off before dismounting. Be sure that all power line shielding is in place. . Do not operate tractor in a ‘dosed building. Refuel only when motor is cool and dead. Be sure the gear shift lever is in neutral before cranking the engine. Effect of Pregnancy; Hie severe price discriminations practiced by market buyers against pregnant yearling heifers are not justified when such heifers are mar­ keted by the end of the fifth month of gestation, according to the Illinois agricultural experiment station. Slaughtered tests and carcass show that pregnant heifers takd an a higher degree of finish and that at this stage of pregnancy neither the dressing percentage nor the market grade is lowered. ■ ''*%f I Frosty Thirst-Quenchers Are Party Fare (See Recipes Below) Light Refreshments Looking for an easy way to return your social obligations? This is the season for it, be­ cause entertain­ ing can be cool, simple and still lovely. AU food can be point easy and fun to fix because it does not re­quire standing over a hot stove to have it ready. For the simpler type of party, rely heavily on cooling thirst quenchers with perhaps a few cookies or small cakes arranged at­ tractively on a platter. If the party takes the place of dinner, you might have several substantial salads. Try serving on the lawn or garden, buf­ fet style, and save strain on house­ keeping. You will wadt to suggest coolness in your table settings. Blues and greens are very comfortable and you can reUeve the monotony - by having flowers in whites, pink or yellow, whichever goes best with what you have. Fve picked out some especiaUy good beverages for this season. Don’t use your supplies of canning sugar for such things as this. If you can manage to purchase ice cream and sherbet for the drinks, do so and save the sugar where it’s most needed. Orange Cream.

It’s delightful. If you have leftover fruit juices, coffee or tea, make ice cubes with them. Thenfrostydrinkswillnot have that watery flavor. Bits of fruit, berries or mint sprigs may also be frozen in ice cubes to make them attractive. -For a good afternoon pickup, try chilled tomato juice with gin­ ger ale or, use apricot nectar with a dash of lemon juice. Iced coffee takes on a party touch when topped with meringue and sprinkled with cinnamon.

A WORLD-WIDE audience and hence a world-wide influence Js claimed for the product of the Holly­ wood studios. There is ample ex­ ternal evidence that this claim is not exaggerated.

We can’t see the forest for the trees.Well, there are a few fundamen­ tals that we can’t get away from m evaluating the state of the world, present and future. One of them is that if we’re going to go on having wars all of us are going to suffer no matter who wins. fiie victories.Have you ever stopped to reflect that back in 1917 and 1918, when our country entered upon its first exalted crusade to make the world safe for ,democracy, nearly all of the present leading stars of motion pic­ tures either were not born or were pretty young?

When I compiled a list of Hollywood babies bom in 1944 and 1945 I was astonished. I’m not drawing any distinction where babies are concerned, but one can’t name them all. This war has taught us that we are really and genuinely a democracy; that our army, navy, and marine corps rep­ resent the people and are in very truth the people. So, from the ranks of our profes­sional artists, here goes: Alice Faye Harris and her hus­ band, Phil, have two baby girls. Same for Betty Grabje and Harry James. Orchestra leaders both, the fathers, and famous, too. Glamour boys. So’s Dick Hayines a glamour boy. He and Joanne Marshall Haymes greeted a new baby last summer. Girls and More Girls My! Look at the baby girls in my list! Here’s Ann Sothem with an­ other; the father, Lt. Robert Ster­ ling. Ken Murray comes along with a boy. Good for you, Ken. Martha Raye and Nick Condos had a girl. So did Jean Rogers and Danny Win­kler. And what’s this? Nancy Coleman delighted Whitney Bolton’s mascu­ line pride by presenting him with twin gfrls. Velcz and Yolanda produced a son. Benita Hume and Ronald Colman countered with a daughter. Here’s Ruth Hussey and Lt. Bob Longnecker adding to the female population; also the Eddie Brackens. Donna King and Lt. James Conklin, the Bob Crosbys and the Gregory Pecks relieved the monotony—their babies are boys. And so we come into 1945. Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles were the first big time Hollywood mamma and papa of the year, and theirs is a girl. Eleanor Powell and Glenn Ford countered with a boy. Mau­ reen O’Sullivan and Jrim Farrow promptly announced a feminine ad­ dition to their growing family, but Susan Hayward hit the jackpot with twin boys. Jess Barker’s the father. The Jack Carsons added a baby daughter. Looking into the Future What a responsibility rests upon these young Hollywood fathers and mothers of little ones brought into' this disturbed world! We hear on all sides that what the world needs and is crying aloud for is leaders. Leadership. That, I think, ho one will deny. Fathers and mothers, of this day, if you doh’t want to go through a rep­ etition of broken, hearts, • sorrow, maimed bodies, wrecked 'minds- « 4 nerves a generation from now, bet­ter be looking alive right now! * • • And tTwias Ever Thus 'I asked Gehe Fowler how he was coining along with "Goodnight, Sweet Prince.’’ He said, "We’re at a complete standstill. I may have to sell the thing after alL Isn’t it funny? It’s, like a man standing ah a street corner selling 35 gold pieces for a buck and nobody will buy. I’ve had fabulous offers for it, but n o body is willing to take It free.” He wants all the profits to go to the mo­tion picture, relief home. .« .

Dear Mr, Stroud:—Tonight while reading your paper of June 27th, I came across an article or advertise­ ment, which puzzles me very .much. The advertisement was the one on the 7th War Loan, sponsored bv the Mockaville Ice & Fuel Co., Rankin- Sanford Implement Co., Chas R. Vogler. S. H. Chaffin and Hobart Hoots Now. the reason for this letter is, in the advertisement it sta­ ted that if your average income per month is $250.00. your personal war bond quota is $187 50 (cash value). Now, that leaves us $62 50 on which to live for a month. Remember, there’s a withholdiug tax and the old age benefit to come out of that $62.50 I was just discharged from the army after almost eight years ser vice. Maybe being in the service tbit long makes me want to live ex­ travagant, but I just can’t see how anyone could possibly exist, not live, on the amount that would be left. I had to spend more than that in com­ bat in the wilds of the Pacific. I would certainly like some one to work out a budget whereby I could live that cheap. Do you think it's possible??? Thank you very much for your trouble JAMESR STUKES. Conservation of Tobac­ co Twine Urged To avoid a possible shortage of to­ bacco twine, it must be used conser­ vatively, says J. N Smoot, Chair-, man Davie County AAA Committee. Mr. Smoot states that in 1914 the cotton yarn industry produced 614, requirements of 1,806.000 pounds, production of only 1.860.000 pounds is scheduled. This leaves a margin of onl£ 54.000 pounds. The AAA leader points ^ut that twine manufactured last year and still in the hands of farmers and' dealers provides the only cushion if this year’s production should nrove inadequate. As a means of conserving this ma­ terial Mr, Smoot urges all farmers and dealers in Davie County, having tobacco twine carried over from last year’s heavy production, to use it only for tobacco purposes.

C. v ->1 THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Washington, D. POULTRT BLACK MARKET. WASHINGTON. — The black mar­ ket in eggs and poultry is so bad that the War Food administration is seriously considering the freez­ ing of all eggs in storage. Mean­ while J. Edgar Hoover's G-men have been quietly probing the poultry black market in the Delaware-Mary- Iand area with startling results. Their findings will reach high into Delaware state politics and per­ haps into the Washington headquar­ ters of the War Food administra­ tion and OPA. Already Clifford Shedd, Delaware WFA official, has lost the authority to release poultry for civilian con­ sumption from the army’s set-aside, but his chief in Washington, Gor­ don Sprague, says he is taking full authority for anything that might be found wrong with Shedd’s administration. Sprague has taken over direct charge of all poultry re­ leases, but claims that he knows of no irregular action by Shedd. Meanwhile, black market op­ erations along both the West and the East coast are so seri­ous that legitimate poultry and egg dealers are being forced out of business. The situation in New England, New Jersey and North Carolina is especially bad. Tim Stitts of the War Food ad­ ministration told Congressman Anderson’s food committee that OPA should suspend all price -ceil­ ings on eggs in an effort to channel eggs back into the legitimate mar­ ket. This immediately caused deal­ ers to hold onto their eggs for a price rise. But what they did not know is that Stitts has not requested OPA to suspend or even raise the price ceiling on eggs. OPA, under the price control act, cannot raise these ceilings without formal re­ quest from the War Food adminis­ tration, and this request has never been made. Finally, the WFA may be forced to freeze all eggs in stor­ age, permitting the army to take what it wants of them and release the rest for civilian market. Hundreds of thousands of cases of eggs are in private storage this year while their owners play for an eventual price rise. The black market on’those : eggs which do not go into storage is so bad that while creameries in Minnesota cannot get eggs, eggs from Minnesota farms are going via illegal chan­nels as far as New Tork City. V. S. PRESTIGE ABROAD Hardboiled Republican Congress­ man Everett Dirksen of Illinois had a. secret meeting with his GOP col­ leagues In a house lobby the other day following his 30,000-mile trip around the world. He gave them plenty of food for thought. Among other things, Dirksen said: “Here’s something you fellows may not agree with, but I want to tell you that the OWI (Office of War Information) is doing a great job for us abroad. "I went into Turkey where 83 pei cent of the pictures in the Turkish newspapers and 40 per cent of the lineage is supplied them by the OWI. In other words, they are telling the Turks what this country is like— selling the United States to Turkey. “They’re doing a great job and if it wasn’t for OWI, American pres­ tige wouldn’t be half as high as it is today. ; “In India, for instance, I met with a group of political leaders who began asking me about the Tennessee Valley Authority. I was surprised that"they would know anything about it, and asked them how it happened; they replied that they had seen an OWI film showing TVA. “I came to the conclusion,” Dirk- sen said, “that OWI is something we’ve got to keep after the!war.” RUSSIAN RELATIONSHIPS Unless something unforeseen hap­ pens to upset it, Harry Hopkins has won a resounding victory for im­ proved relations with Russia by ironing out the main points of the Polish dispute. The agreement, hammered out in several intimate talks be­ tween Hopkihs and Stalin, pro­ vided for an immediate meeting by three groups of Polish lead­ ers in Moscow to set up a new -Polish government representing all factions. This will include ex-Fremier Mikolajczyk of the Lon* don government, who has been !,--kept closely, informed of all - phases of the Kremlin discus- vSions and has approved them. CAPITAL TALK C. Chicago’s Mayor Ed Kelly still runs. the most impressive service­ men’s center in the world, has taken care of more than 15,000,000 G.l. visitors and served them more than 3,000,000 meals. C The state and interior depart­ ments both have their eyes on the Philippines. State’s budget carries a salary allowance for a U. S. ambas­ sador to, the Philippines. Interiorls budget cdrfies ~a salary for a high commissioner. If there is independ­ ence, there will be an ambassador; if not. a commissioner.

Nelson Wins Again - Byron Nelson shown as he won the 72 holes of the $14,000 Canadian Open Golf tourney. He finished 10 strokes better than Jug McSpadeik the second man. or - m r w L WHAT two men would you say played the most prominent roles in making Gene Tunney the undefeated heavyweight -champion of the world? It must be admitted at the start that Tunney did a fair job on his own. He was still the vital factor. He did most of the work, and most of the thinking. But he still needed some outside help, for Gene was a raw product on the way up. In his first match against Harry Greb, Tunney took the worst beating of his career. But from that fight on Commander Tunney kept moving up.“The two men who helped me most,’’ Tunney told me a few weeks ago, “were Jim Corbett and William Muldoon. It was Mr. Muldoon who gave me early encouragement when I needed it badly. He was also the one who gave me sound advice on physical conditioning and training. M aster B oxer “What boxers need today,” Tun- ney said, “is variety of attack. Jack Dempsey didn’t need this so much with his devastating left hook, He could knock your head off with this one punch. And don’t forget that Jack was extremely fast. I had no such punch. So I needed variety, which Corbett gave me. At . least Jim gave .me the general idea. For Corbett had more variety than any­ one I’ve ever known. . “After talking and working with Corbett I went to work on several types of punches. I mean by that the body uppercut, which few boxers had e v e r used. Most uppercuts are headed for the chin. There were several other punches I worked on, day after day. I might even say — year after year. I made Gene Tunney a close study of the human body to find the most vulnerable parts. Especial­ ly the nerve centers. I had discov­ ered that a punch delivered to some spots would have no effect—where the same blow a few inches away could cause trouble. Fitzsimmons applied this knowledge in his famous solar-plexus punch that left Corbett paralyzed for a minute or more. Six inches to the right or left, this punch would have had no such effect. "It was Jim Corbett to whom I went for ring advice. In my opinion there has only been one Corbett when it comes to the science of box­ ing. I boxed with Corbett when he was past 60. He would feint with his IeR hand—and then hit you with the IeR. Or he would feint with the IeR —and nail you with a right. There was no way to tell just what he was going to do. He could mix up more punches than any one I ever saw. Corbett not only had amazing hand and foot speed, but even more im­ portant he had a smart brain. Even at that age, Jim could really daz­ zle you. He could still keep you be­ wildered. So I can imagine what he must have been when he was 25 or 30 years younger. I can only say that Jim was always land to me, always interested in helping.” F ew V ulnerable Spots “Judging a fight from the view­ point of blows that hit certain parts of the anatomy is something more than you can ask a referee or any judge to consider. And yet it is a vital factor. I’ve heard fight crowds cheer loudly at some solid thump on an opponent’s shoulder. This means nothing at all. It is just wasted effort, no matter how ef­ fective it may look to the crowd.“There are only certain parts of the human body that give way to punishment. These are parts that few boxers today even know about. It was Corbett’s advice that led me to study these vulnerable spots. At least Jim proved to me beyond any doubt that boxing was more of a sci­ ence than mere brute strength. A scientific boxer can make a crude fighter look awkward although the IaRer might be twice as strong. “I’ve found that few of these ter­ rific punchers can hit a moving tar­ get who knows how to keep out of the way. You may recall how many punches Max Baer landed on Jim Braddock, who. was no section of lightning. I- don’t believe Max landed even one solid blow in 15 rounds. But Max couldn’t miss big Camera. Boxing is one of the finest and one of the most scientific sports in the world, It would Ie a great help to the game if a few of the modem generation coming along were only willing. to work along these lines, Which so few of them are.” R etu rn o f L om bardi When Ernest Natali Lombardi lay stricken, in the dust of Cincinna­ ti’s home plate in the final world series game of 1939, the big fellow’s ,career seemed to be closing out. But it is all different now.' The big Giant catcher has again become one of the most valuable adjuncts to his squad, one of the strong men from either league. Lombardi, normally a .300 hitter, dropped down to a .255 aver­ age last season. But now, in his 37th year, he has again been thumping the ball lustily.

TnE STORT THUS FAR: Melody Jones and Geoige Fury rode into Payno I Title, strangers. Melody was mistaken (or 1 the outlaw, Monte Jarrad. As a posse was after them Cherry, Monte’s girl, rushed them out Ot town. Melody Te* turned to Payneville, where he met Lee, former pardner ot Monte’s, who drove toward the ranch with him, running Into Cberry and George. They soon man­ aged to get a gun on Lee and started out (or the shack where Monte bid the money Irom the express robbery. V k n they entered the shack they were covered by Luke Packer, the Insurance detective. As Lnke went to a win­ dow to recover It, he tell, a gun having . Ieen Ared from the outside. ' CHAPTER XII “It’s a funny flung,” Luke Packer said. “It’s easy to teUwhen a man is lying; but it plumb fails you to say when he’s telling the truth. But that ain’t any excuse. A thousand things otter told me you was only a stalking horse. No such damn fool could be the real Monte Jarrad. But I never caught on. Until the real Monte fired from the slope.” “I suppose I’ve done more mean things in my life than one man can remember,” Luke Packer said. He was speaking with great difficulty now. “But the mean things you do are brushed over and forgot. The one thing nobody ever forgets • . . and nobody ever forgives . . . Is a baldheaded jackass of a blunder. . . . Not even God’ll forgive that. Him least of all.” Those were the last words Luke Packer ever said. He died with a strange aboriginal stoicism, without bitterness and without faith. Seem­ ingly he literally believed, as he had said, that the death penalty was a suitable one for a man of his occupa­ tion to pay, for the crime of mistak­ ing one man for another. Melody Jones shook out a saddle blanket, and laid it over Packer’s body; then immediately forgot the whole thing, for now the outer door was pushed open from outside, and flung wide. Melody thought he glimpsed Uie hand that swung the door; but nobody stood in the open-, ing that gaped blackly into the night. Melody snatched his gun out in what was intended to be a lightning draw. George Fury stepped through the door, and flattened himself against the wall inside, allowing the least possible silhouette of himself in the door-frame until the door was shut. George Fury’s eyebrows jumped now as he saw the form of Luke Packer under its blanket. He looked at it for a long time, and his face was very grim. “So now they got a corpus delicti,” he said at last, .hollowly. "A whut?” “A dead man,” George Fury am­ plified. “It ain’t legal to hang you on account of a dead man unless they can come up with one. Corpus delicti is some foreign way of say­ ing that soon’s they got the corpus you’re de-licked.” “Oh.” “This here is rock - bottom,” George PHiry said, completely with­ out hope. “Up until now we was In bad shape, but all right. Even if they hung you for Monte Jarrad, we could of proved the mistake. But what good will it do to prove who you ain’t, now that you come fitted up with a corpus delicti of your own?” Melody put away his gun. “Some­ times,” he said, “it don’t seem to me like we get the breaks.” “I suppose you realize,” George Fury said saltily, “there’s a posse pretty near on top of us right now?” “George,” said Cherry de Longpre with deep gravity, “you shouldn’t have done this.” “Who, me? What? Done which?” “You shouldn’t have shot him.” “I shouldn’t of what? Shot who?” “The man under that blanket is —was an express company detec­ tive. His name was Luke Packer. He was one of the most feared peace officers in the West; every­ body knows his name. There isn’t a single man in the whole territory who wouldn’t have been a better choice for you to kill than this man.” “Yes, but—but—”“There’s going to be such a man- hunting hullabaloo as the West has never seen before. I wouldn’t give two cents for the chances of either one of you!”George Fury looked from the girl to his partner, and bade again, slowly, with the dreary disillusion of a man who witnesses an all time low. “So now,” he drawled, “you can’t neither of you fofak of no better out than to blame the whole damn ca­ lamity on me.” “It ain’t any question of blaming nobody, George,” Melody said sad­ ly. George reddened. “Why yew be- fewzled numpus—”“I gaess,” Melody told Cherry, “we got him on our hands'. That’s how come he shot Packer.” Cherry just stood there looking bleak, and stunned—a little glassy­ eyed. The full complication of their disaster was still soaking its way into her mind.“It wasn’t the real George done this,” Melody said. “It was a bot­ tle of Uquor shot Packer, just the same as if it capered in here and popped him with its cork. _ When George drinks, be ain’t nothing but a bottle with laigs.” “I heard you fire the shot that dropped him.” George was pitying them now, in a weary, embittered way. “I was *right outside. And when I come in, you was under the table with your six-gun smoking in your damn hand.” “You mean, I shot him?” “You finally got it, son.” “Why is a hole in the window, and glass on the floor, if I shot him?” Melody demanded. “You think I run outside, and shot, and sudden run back?” “I don’t know nothing about that.” “Why is they blood on the floor by the window, where he fell?” Mel­ ody insisted. “And how does the corpus get from there up on the bunk, if I’m under the table when I shoot him daid? You think the cor­ pus hauls off and leaps up under that .blanket, when he hears you coining in?” This gave George pause. He grew suddenly very still as something else that was going on, beyond the range of their argument, beyond the cabin clearing, became plain to him. Cher­ ry watched him. “Can you hear the posse?” she whispered. George shook his head. “Some­ thing else is tooken place,” he said with a new bleak awe. “So that was it! I’m sorry, Melody. It wasn’t you shot Packer. I should of knowed you wasn’t up to nothing so practi­ cal as that.” “I don’t toiler this,” Melody said. George pleaded with him, “don’t try to git it through your head. We ain’t got time for no such complicat­ ed projict as that! If you want out of this, will you please, please do like I say, jest for the next few min­ utes?” “Go catch your ponies,” George Fury ordered Melody. AU the dead- Ievd urgency he could put into his He went slashing up to the door of the cabin and kicked it in. low tones was there. “Saddle ’em both, yours and Cherry’s. Then git mine; He’s about forty rods dowii the crick, in a little meadow. You can’t miss catching him because he’s Close hobbled, and he’s also short picketed.” Melody stood and waited, so sure that Cherry and George were on his heels that at first he was glad to have got the saddling done before they caught up and found him un­ ready. By and by he sat down, his back against a boulder and one ankle on a cocked-up knee. His buUet- nick was hurting very interestingly now; he idly picked pine needles out of his bloody ear, and wondered if he would lose the whole shebang.Melody Jones now got stiffly up onto his heels, and mounted Harry Henshaw. Riding Harry and lead­ ing the other ponies, he turned back toward the adobe, on no better the­ ory than that he had waited long enough. He approached the cabin with some caution, riding with his led ponies in places where the ani­ mals’ unshod hoofs were least likely to dop upon stone. The three po­ nies moved like, ghosts as he rode into the Uttle meadow.And now a burst of outrage lifted him in his stirrup bows. The adobe was weU Uluminated how, as if ev­ ery candle in the place had been Ugbted-He stopped then and looked around him. Cherry de Longpre and George Fury: were not alone. Three inter­ lopers made the cabin seem packed. Their guns were in their hands; and they had sp placed themselves that they could keep an eye on George Fury while their guns con­ verged upon Melody at the door. The body of Luke Packer, however, was no longer in the bunk. “All right, m’bay,” the oldest of the three men said, “I’m Sheriff Thingan—the big end of the law in PayneviUe. Stick your fingers in your mouth,” he ordered surprising­ ly- .“Whut?” “Stick your .fingers in your mouth. Both hands.” “Whut for?’* “Because I tell you to,” Sheriff Thingan said, angering. “And be pert, before I let flyt”Melody looked with bewilderment at George Fury, who was staring at himironicaUy. “I never seed so many crazy people,” Melody said; but he obeyed Sheriff Thingan and put his fingers in his mouth, aU the fingers of both hands. He roUed an eye at Cherry to see if she was laughing. She was not. Sheriff Thingan now stepped for­ ward, approaching Melody from one side. He puUed Melody into Uie room by a shoulder, and spun him around, then disarmed Melody from behind. After that he shut the door. “You can coUapse now,” Thingan told Melody. “Turn around, and take your feet out of your mouth, and start to talk.” . Melody Jones took a slow look at his captors. Sheriff Thingan was somewhat apple-cheeked, but with deep grin lines, amounting to dim­ ples. He affected a neat white mus­ tache, more cleanly trimmed than the old conventional buffalo-horn model, and curled only sHghtly, af­ ter the manner of the better class of Mexican border desperadoes. His hat—not ten gaUon, but perhaps two —he wore raked at a spprty angle. Sheriff Thingan had the name of being a profoundly wise, infaUibly cagey old man. What JIelody saw now was that this was a profoundly silly, infaUibly eccentric old man. “Lucky, you be,” Sheriff Thingan said to Melody, “that it was me caught up with you.” “Why?” Sheriff Thingan directed a genial question to his deputies. “Ain’t this the Uttle punk that’s been making out to be Monte Jarrad?” Thingan’s number one deputy now spoke. He was big and coarse fea­ tured, his face crudely and strongly made. He had big aggressive ears, a big craggy nose and jaw; his sparse hair had once been red, but now was grayed to a sandy roan. IQs rough-cut grin had the expres­ sion of a pumpkin face, and it showed yeUow teeth as big as an elk’s, with gaps between. And his eyes, which were a muddy blue, had about the same expression as holes blown in a roof.This man’s name was Royal Boone. “I shore don’t know what you fel­ lows want,” he grinned. “If he ain’t Monte, he’U sure do in Monte’s place.”“You’re just rope-handy,” Thin­ gan said, his words bumped by a chuckle.“WeU, he’s virtuaUy volunteered to get hung, ain’t he? Why quarrel with the guy?” The second deputy, Mormon Stocker, was a swarthy, beery Uttle man with a broken nose. He had a habit of carrying his chin on his chest, which set his mouth in a line of disgust, and gave a peculiar look to his eyes, which were buttony, and had circular lines about them above and below, like the eyes of an owl. He switched these owl eyes upon Melody through a moment of dark depression. “Niimp,” he said. “I suppose,” Royal Boone said with sarcasm that kiUed himself, “you aim to fight it out with the Cotton boys to see that they don’t hang him.” “I do like heU,” said Sheriff Thin­ gan. Cherry de Longpre began to speak rapidly, in a low monotone. “Why don’t you let him go? Wiat kind of murderers are you? Give him a chance to run for his life!” She looked gray faced and desperately tired, but to Melody she had never looked prettier in her life. “This fool kid has nothing to do with any­ thing. Let the Cottons catch him for themselves!” Mormon Stocker said with deep dejection, “Let the kid slope.” Royal Boone looked at him blank­ ly. “Have you gone out of your head?” Sheriff Roddy Thingan looked at Cherry de Longpre with aU kinds of benevolence. “Crime doesn’t pay,” he told her. “How come you got your foot stuck through the fence like this? I swear, I’m goin’ to stop this corrupting American woman­ hood around here if I have to hang feUers right and left!” “Listen you old fool,” said George Fury, “don’t it never occur to you that you won’t never find out where the loot went to, if you let this punk git hung?” “How’s that again?” “Who do you think is going to teU you where that strongbox is,” George Fury asked him, “once this punk is dead? Monte Jarrad? You don’t even know Monte Jarrad is aUve!” “Do you,” Sieriff Thingan asked Melody cynically, “know what Monte done with that express box?” “Yes,” Melody said. “I want you to get it through your haid,” Melody said, “that I ain’t Monte Jarrad. If I show you where the money is, I want you should turn itie free. And my gal with me, too!”It was only later that Melody found that George Fury’s knees had sagged under him, just here. Sheriff Roddy Thingan was ready to deal, and deal quickly. “I know you ain’t Monte Jarrad,” he said. “It’s only the Cottons that get ex? cited, as a general thing. The first minute I get my hands on that ex­ press box, you’re free to high-tail in all the directions you want.”(TO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL L esson By HAHOLD L.

MAN'S FAILURES AND GOD'S PROMISES LESSON TEXT—Genesis 8:5*7; 8:1, 4.18» 20-22. : GOtDEN TEXT—While the earth remain*, jeth, seedtime and harvest, and/ cold and ;heat, and summer and winter,; and day [and night shall not cease.^Senesls 8:22* . ! The beginnings of aU things in jthe book of Genesis include, we are :sorry to note, .the beginning of sin ■in the faU of Adam. Soon we read ■ot the first murder, Cain slaying jhis |odly brother, Abel, because his !acceptance with God exposed the !wrong heart-attitude of Cain. The godly line was renewed In Seth, but before long sin again lifted its ugly head. Now the wickedness of man,had become so widespread that God was driven to a. drastic judgment I. Judgment for the Wicked (6:5-7). , The Lord sees the wickedness of men—let us not forget that! At times it seems as though the .un­ godly flourish in their sin and that there is no judgment upon them. God knows what goes on in the world. He is long-suffering and mer-, ciful, but there , is a boundary line to His patience, and when that limit is.. reached, . there' can be ,nothing but judgment. Ever Imagination, of the thoughts, of man’s heart was evil .continual­ly (v. 5). One is reminded tif Jere-: miah l7:9, and of such a contem­ porary .estimate of man as. that .of Dr. Mackay, who said, “Psycholo­ gy ,has unveiled the ,dismal and sin­ ister depths In human nature. Man can no longer, flee from reaUty into the romantic..refuge, of his- ,own heart; for the human heart has, be- come , a house of horrors in. whose murky recesses man cannot , erect for his solace either a shrine or a citadel. Man is bad; he is a sin­ ner.” ' God did not. change His mind (v. 6), but . man by his sin moved himself out of the circle of God’s love over into the circle of His judgment. God never changes, but we change our-relation to Him by our actions. Such is the evident pieaning of this verse. I n . DeUverance for the Upright (8: h 4, 18). . God remembered Noah, and he “found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Gen. 6:8) because he was “a just man” (6:9). At the Lord’s com­ mand, he prepared the ark for the saving of himself and his house, and after the Lord had “shut him In” (Gen. 7:16), the great judg­ ment by water came upon the earth. After 150 days (Gen. 7:24), the Lord remembered Noah (8:1) and caused the earth to dry up once again. The same Lord who shut him in to keep him during the flood brought him out after the flood (8: 15, 16), gave him great power (9: 1-4), assured him of His protection (9:5-7), and gave him the great promise (9:8-16) of which the rain­ bow became the token. The God who wiU in no wise for­ get the sin of the wicked will never leave nor forsake those who walk uprightly before Him. The story of Noah should stimulate our faith, causing us to obey and trust !God. His protecting hand is over His chUdren, and He can bring them through the darkest days of tribulation. III. Mercy in the Midst of Sin (8:20-22). “Noah brnlded an altar,” for the first impulse of his heart , was to give praise to God for His mighty ideUverance. His offering came up to God as “a sweet savor,” that is, it was pleasing to God. To come before God with accept­ able worship, man must come With clean hands. The question is not whether he is briUiant, learned, or of high position. The one thing that counts is obedience. When such - a man offers the worship of his heart before God, it goes up to him like a sweet savor. God knew man’s heart (v. 21). ^e had no iUusions that even the judgment of the flood would change It. Eagerly His love sought man’s obedient response, but He weU knew that the awful pestilence of sin would continue until the very end of the age. So in spite of that sin, and in the very midst of it, God promised that He would never again wipe out hu­ manity as He did in the flood. There would be individual judgment and coUective judgment on certain groups, but never again the smiting of every Uving thing. Thus, He set men free from the terror which must have now been in their hearts. The beautiful rainbow in the .cloud became a token'of God’s promise, and the visible assurance to “all flesh” that the judgment of the flood would not be repeated. Never again would seed time and harvest, nor any of the orderly processes of nature, foil throughout the whole earth. i What a gracious God we have! !And what a pity that men presume upon His gooixtess.^r^i-^i'i — SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS An Easy to-Make House Frock Party Dress for Little Girls 8857 14-42 Sleeveless House Frock . f?OOh and comfortable, house frock ,the .beginner sewer will enjoy making.

First-quality pear or peach pickles are plump and tender and the color of amber. The sirup, honeylike in thickness, is flavored to please one’s own taste. Here’s a secret. Follow the recipe to the letter until you come to the spices, then go on your own. You dislike clove? Leave it out. You like ginger? Put it in. And if you can get them, use eil or essences of spices rather than the whole ones called for in recipes. The oils won’t discolor the fruit, but go slow, a drop at a time.

C, In these days of anxiety because of war, uncertainty in business, scarcity of many material things, wickedness of the masses, unbelief, worldliness, drunkenness, tasts and trials, troubles and heartaches, O how wonderful to look unto Jesus for help and grace, comfort and peace, strength, courage and equil ibriuml No one but Jesus can keep us balanced right. But, hallelu­ jah, He .can do it. I know of no resort that is so blessed, safe and secure as hiding away in the secrot place of prayer and there talking with our Lord over the problems and difficulties that confront us. He knows, He understands, He cares. When we call upon Him in sincerity and in truth He always does something about it. It pays to pray far more than talk. Amen, and glory to God When tempted aad tried, get a- Ione with Jesus and pray. When troubles come upon you, and it seems that they are beyond all en­ durance, get alone with Jesus and prav. . Don’t be in a burry. Stay there, dwell, tarry, wait. There is an answer if you will weit, get still and settled before God. When yon don’t know what to do, do nothing until you have praved ear­ nestly and Jesus shows you what course you should pursue. Let Him show you; let Him lead, guide and direct. Pray much. AU real, true, mighty pray-ers are wonder­ fully blessen of God. They are deeply settled in Him They are rooted and grounded in the faith once delivered unto the saints, tnerefore cannot be carried B bout with every wind of doctrine. But do not wait until mlghtv tesrs, trials and troubles come upon you before you pray. Pray when the sun shines brightly; when the go­ ing with you seems eusy; when you are on the mountain top of victory, shouting the praises of God. Pray often, pray much, pray continually. Keep in a spirit of prayer. “ Pray without ceasing.” My dear wife is a great pray-er Perhaps few women, if any, in our country pray more’than she. She lives a life of prayer. It is true that she is a hard worker, as we have reared a -large family, but she never gets too busy to pray. I suppose she averages about three hours in prayer out of twenty four. Sbe knows the blessedness of pray- er. She dwells much with Jesus. My burdens are her burdens. My tests and trials are her tests and trials. My cares, duties and re­ sponsibilities are hers. Mv inter, ests are her interests. Sbe prays much for our loved ones, for our dear readers, and for mankind gen. eraily. She prays for the sick, suf­ fering, sad, tested, tried pilgrims of the cross. On’ her praver list are many of the dear soldiers of the land. When our leaders Write us, asking for nrayar, I place the requests before her that she may help me pray, taking as a promise from Jesus, Matthew (8:19 ; “ If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask it. it shall be done for them of my Father, which is in heaven. We have anchored to and stood up­ on this promise for years and find that it never fails if we ask within the Father’s will. Hallelujah! "IF MY PfO Plt WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAMt SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAV, AND SEEK MY FACt AND TURN AWAY FROM THEIR WICKED WAVt- THEN WIIL I HEAR FROM HEAVBL AND WIIL FORGIVE THBR SINS, AND WILL HEAL THBRUND."- 2 CHRON. 7:14. WAR BONDS From A Davie Soldier Camp Blanding, Fla. As I sit this Sunday afternoon thinking of the wonderful service you are having it grieves my heart that so many millions the world nver, who are walking in sin, nev­ er once giving thought to God and all his glory. The blessed Holy Spirit laid it on my heart to write this message to you. This scrip­ ture keeps coming to my mind. I know In whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep me against that day. Last summer God caused me to pass from death unto life. Therefore I know in whom I have believed He has kept me safe thus far, he has not taken me out ot the world, but has kept me from the world and from sin. therefore I am persuaded that he is able to keep me until that great and notable day of the Lord shall come. Praise the Lord He said for all those who are afar off. I’m so proud about it this evening that it included me too. While the world is going on in wickedness I have that blessed assurance that Jesus is mine; that I have an inher­ itance among those who are sancti- fied forever. The desires of the world are gone. Christ has come in and taken up His abode. He is willing to come into the hearts of others if they will only let Him. Pray friends, as you have never prayed before. The harvest is in­ deed ripe but the iabortrs are few. Let us work while it is stilt day, for behi Id I see darkness coming. The clouds of darkness are about to envelop the world. People will be running too and fro seeking light. Bnt the worst thing, Jesus as the Light will be gone out of the world forever, neveimorr to return to the dwellers of the earth. Be re dv for Him when He comes in all His glo­ ry, and be taken up on wings of glory. Praise God, the grave, not even the army, can hold you when the quickening power of the Holy Ghost abides within. To those who have not the witness of the Holy Spirit, seek and seek diligently. God will not turn you down. You who have never been In the armed service, don’t know the half of it. They encourage 11s to partake of the things of the world, even go so far as to encourage us to keep com­ pany with the civilian women em ployees on the Post. They put 'oeer on the mess tables Again I know in whom I have believed and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that I have committed unto Him against that dav. I ’m glad that even tbo we are tempted of the wicked one, God can and will -give us grace to stand. Without God I don’t think I could stand it here. Those who en. joy the things of the world and take no thought of God, of course can't understand why I don’t par. take of the world. But 'my salva. tion goes all the way; something I can feast on all the time while the things of the world fade, and you have to continually be in search of some pleasure, something new. I’m so glad that with my salvation I can go to sleep knowing that should Christ come while I slumber, that I can rise as did the five wise vir­ gins and enter into the marriage supper with the Bridegroom. The world about us is starving for what we have—starving for the salvation that saves, sanctifies holy and bap' Iizes with the Holy Ghost. May God grant us to be used of Him where we can do the most for Him If my going into the army and by the life I live, will be the means of some soul stopping and taking thought, ttien it will not have been in vain. Alter all, I ’m in the will of God. My friend, are yon will ing to take Christ all the way? Are you willing to be used of Him as a vessel meet for the Master’s use, sanctified holy? If not., then It’s time to consider wbat is in store for you. As I said, darkness is coming; there shall be weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth. To­ day is the day of salvation, not to­ morrow. I’m so glad I found Him before darkness came on. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God, to taste of the wrath of God, to be kicked out forever from His presence into a hell that burneth forever and ever. AU the seeking and pleading will be of no avail. God’s ears will for­ ever be closed to the cries and pleas of men. of those who refused and rejected- Call upon Him today; seek Him while He may be found, for the Lord is gocd and- His ears will not close to those who call up on His precious name. Praise His name His name only is worthy of praise. Dear friends, please pray and work as has never been done before. Hold up Christ, the great Light, before this lost and dying world. Some day, and it won't be long. He’s coming back to claim His own. Will you be In that num ber? I hope to meet you there. My sinner friend, will He find yon watching and waiting unto prayer when he gomes? Are your garm­ ents spotless and white, washed in the precious blood of the slain Lamb? May God add his richest blessings to these remarks, that some soul will profit thereby. May God bless each and every one that hears this letter read, to His name’s honor and glory, is my sincere prayer for each one of you. May those of you who know not Christ in a true way, come to know Him ere it’s too late. Don’t forget to pray for me. Your Brotheria Christ, PVT. RALPH O. SMITH Another Darned Crisis Another crisis has arisen — the wheat harvest. The wheat is there, tue second largest crop in history, and we should count ourselves lucky by the various modern plagues, after es­ caping drought, grasshoppers, and tbe diseases that strike wheat. There’s isn’t enough labor to har­ vest it, nor enough elevation in which to store it. nor enough box cars to move it. nor enough railroad locomotives nor trainmen te handle it.Tbe authorities are gloomy. If they could get enough ration points to feed tbe labor. There is talk of storing it in filling stations' but they are already full of cold drinks, pea­ nut butter sandwiches, cigarettes oil cans and other clutterments. It could be just dumped on the ground, which is what is being done, but look out. This is one of the re­ gulation. airtight crises.—Charlotte Observer.

National Farm Safety Week National Farm Safety Week has been proclaimed by President Tru man and will be observed through out tbe nation from July 22 to 28. The two-fold aim of the week, Inaugurated last year by the Na­ tional Safety Council as part of the nation-wide accidens prevention campaign, is (t) to educate farm dwellers to act safely 52 weeks of tbe year, and (2) to teach them do recognize, guard against and elinit. nate as many hazards as possible. Tbe need for such a week is un derlined by the fact that on the average between 40 to 50 farm dwellers are killed bv accident each day, making an annual death toll of 15,000 to 17,000 In view of the fact that more ihan 300 organizations and 50,000 individuals In 46 states took part In the observance of tbe First Nation­ al Farm Safety Week, it is . reason able to assume that the activities of tbe week contributed to the reduc­ tion in the general accident toll in 1944 Thus, wider observance this year is certainly to be recommended But it should never be forgotten that ac­ cident prevention, in the final ana­ lysis, is tbe individual responsibility of each farm resident. Engaged in one of the nation’s most important industries, the farmer must be his own safety engineer. Nor will his safety job cease with tbe signing of tbe peace—universal safety can be achieved only by un­ remitting effort on tbe part ot farm organizations, manufactures of of farm equipment and farm resi. dents tbemseves..

Time For Correction Of Price Control Tbe Consumers and the merchants of the nations have now operated under rationing and price control a sufficient length of time so that de­ finite ideas have been formulated in the minds of merchants and indivi­ duals as to how corrections in the Price Contro' Act and its operation can be effected. The association and organizations of hundreds of thousands of retail stores scattered throughout the 48 states, a re questing five changes which have been presented to the House committee on banking and currency: First, Congress should interpret the phrase, “generally fair and equi­ table.” in a manner to assure that price ceilings will be applied fairly to all. A price administrator can take advantage of the word, generall,” and, as has been done, set price ceil­ ings which in many instances are un­ fair and inequitable when applied to the individual retailer. Price squeez- which result are not borne by some fictional average mecchant, but by the corner grocer, drug store, gen­ eral store, or hardware dealer. Second, judicial discretion should be permitted in ail cases arising under the Price Control Act. Courts should be given power to make a distinction between the willful vio­ lators of price regulations and hon­ est merchants who make a mistake. Under the present law, the court and not OPA shoul i decide when and where and injunction should be Third, citizens should he given the right to contest OPA regulations in the nearest Federal court At pre­ sent there is only one court wfc ich may hear price-regulation cases—the Emergency Court of Appeals which sits in Washington, or briefly, in other cities tnroughont the country. A small retailer should be permitted to take his own case to tbe nearest Federal District Court. Fourth, the price administrator should be given control over com mercial rents. With commercial rents uncontrolled, one more cost of doing business has kept on increasing while retail sales prices have been frozen. Fifth, the Price Control Act should be extended for one year only, in­ stead of 18 months. Periodic review is a sound principle. No one can pre­ dict when tbe war emergency will end, and we should not saddle in­ dustry and the nation with restric- for longer periods than are absolute­ ly necessary. Certainly such requests for clari­ fying the Price Control Act and making it more equitable and in the accordance with the true aims tbe act seeks to Accomplish, are reason­ able.—Ex.

Though it may mean a few hours of solid work, vegetable canning is certain to be worth the time and effort put into it. Women who have canned in years past find it is just as easy to put up vegetables as any other kind of prod­ uce. It is simply a matter of carry­ ing out a few simple rules to the letter. Selection and Preparation. Young, tender, freshly gathered vegetables are a “must.” Any delay from garden to canning kettle gives bacteria a chance to develop and makes processing more difficult. Tough, overripe vegetables give poor results because canning improves no vegetable. If you want prime qual­ ity, then can that kind of vegetable. Preserve the sweet flavor of peas and corn, for example, by picking them yourself, if possible and put­ ting them in the canning assembly line as soon as possible. Two hours from garden to kettle is a rule, not just something that sounds nice. To achieve best results grade veg­ etables for size and ripeness. Wadi them thoroughly in large contain­ ers with plenty of running water. Clean vegetables are freed of much bacteria which the soil itself can carry. N Hot Pack or Cold Pack? If you have the time, take it to hot-pack vegetables as this saves food and color values and gives a better product In the can. By hot- pack is meant packing the vegetable hot. This consists of cooking the vegetable a few minutes to shrink it (so that it doesn't shrink too much in the jar during processing) and us­ ing that same liquid in which it was cooked for the jar. Many women who can hundreds of quarts do not always have time to hot pack their vegetables, and in that case, they simply prepare the vegetable for the jar and process according to directions. Preparing the Jars. Hound up the children to help with the canning as best results are achieved when everything moves like clockwork. The day before actual canning starts, lay out the equipment — ket­ tles, utility pans for holding the jars while they are filled, knives, pans for washing, etc. A big job to get out of the way is the jars. All these should be washed in large pans of soapy suds and rinsed thoroughly, made ready for sterilizing the following day. Be sure that jars are checked for Lynn Chambers’ Point-Easy Menus Broiled Sausages with Corn Jellied Tomato .Salad Biscuits with Honey Lemonade Gingerbread with Apple Sauce Lynn Says Canning Memos: Don’t cheat on processing time by trying to hurry vegetables or fruits along in the water bath or pressure cooker. Time can be saved by having produce or equipment in readi­ ness so that ail work goes along on a production line schedide. After the jar has been packed, press a dean, silver knife all the way around on the inside of the jar to destroy bacteria and air bubbles. Don’t forget to wipe the rim of Ihe jar after packing it with food. nicks and cracks. Have plenty ol covers, etc., on hand. Thien, when canning starts, place jars in pans 01 kettles and pour boiling water ovei them. Filling the Jars. To fill the jars quickly, since speed is important to prevent bacteria from developing, lay the jars on a large utility pan, and place it right next to the kettle in which vegeta­ bles have been cooked. Ladle in vegetables as quickly as possible. In most cases, add liquid to within one' half inch of the top. For starch; vegetables like com and peas, leave one inch space at top. Adjust tha cover according to manufacturer’) directions. How to Process. As soon as the jars are ready, they should be speeded into pressun cooker or boiling water bath. If yo« can possibly get a pressure cookei use it as it will save time, give bet ter results. It is the method recom­ mended by the United States depart ment of agriculture. AU pressure cookers vary in some way as to th« closing of the cover, and it’s best to follow directions that come with it. These, however, are points well worth remembering with a pressure cooker: have I to 2'inches of hot wa­ ter at the bottom; place jars on the rack; make sure cover is fastened securely; permit steam to escape from petcock for 7 to 10 minutes before closing. Do not count processing time until the meter registers the desired pres­ sure. The best way to prevent liquid from escaping from the jars is to keep the temperature even. It should not fluctuate as this causes the con­ tents of the jar to boil over and over­ cooks the vegetable. Cooling Jars After the jars have processed ac­ cording to the table given above, set them on several thicknesses of cloth or newspaper and allow to cool away from a draft. Test for seal when cool and store in cool, dark place. Some jars need tightening after processing, others do not. Study the directions which come with the cov­ ers, as the manufacturer knows what treatment is necessary in the case of his particular brand. Common Queries. 1. Is it necessary to boil vegeta­bles before using? Home-canned vegetables should always be boiled before tasting or using, for 10 to 15 minutes. 2. What is meant by non-acid veg­ etables? Non-acid vegetables include all vegetables except tomatoes, ripe pi- Jpientoesor sauer* kra■aut. Since most vegetables are non^acld, they might contain bot- ulinls, a type of bacteria which _ could be harmful and they require a steam pressure cooker to destroy it during process­ing. 3. Should salt be added to vegeta­ bles in canning? Salt is usually added in the pro­ portion of I teaspoon per quart for purposes of seasoning. It may be omitted.Bdeawd by WtcMm ltnmasu Unte Steps In Shearing Sheep Simplified One or a Thousand Its Rules Are Necessary The following steps, condensed and simplified, are given for guid­ ance and improvement of the shear­ er, whether he handles one or a thousand sheep.

Agriculture In the News W. J. DBYDEN Onions Next to salt, the world’s most val­ uable seasoning is the onion. It has come to be recog­ nized as a leading garden “must.” Alexander found the onion in Egypt. He fed it to his troops in Greece in the belief that it ex­ cited martial ar­ dour. Seed Onions A new hybrid has been produced in California which yields 38 tons to the acre. In 1597, John Gerard reported that onions were good against the biting of a mad dog, for colds, biles, to grow hair, for burns, or gun wounds. He also said it caused headaches, weakened the eyes, dulled the senses and provoked oversleep. The volatile oil of onion has been found by Russian scientists to con­ tain a bacteria-killing substance. On­ ion paste is being used in Russia to heal wounds and guard against in­ fections.Dehydrated onions have proven a most important item for overseas shipping. French fried onions prom­ ise to become more popular as the supply of odorless onions becomes larger. Feed Needed by Cows Jn planning the dairy cows re­ quirement, two tons of good quality legume, or mixed legume hay should be harvested per cow, or one ton of good quality legume hay or mixed legume roughage, and three tons of silage per cow.Twenty bushels of corn and 20 bushels of oats should be harvested for each cow. In addition five bush­ els of soybeans, when silage is pro­ vided, or 2% bushels where silage is sot available. r SEWING CIRCLE TiEEDLECRAFT Gav C ro ss -Stitched Tea TowelsJ Elght-to-the-inch cross-stitch is ea a MONDAY $ L IAPPY inspiration, putting kitty to work at household tasks; done in cross-stitch on tea towels, he’ll make even dish-dry­ ing fun!

Traveled 60,000 Miles Veterans Given Prefer­ ence Veterans' of this war are given ore- ference in the purchase of new'farm machinery. J. N. Smoot, chairman. Davie County AAA Committee, said here today. Wood Food Order No. 135. effec­ tive June 25. provides this special op 1 Dortunltv for veterans. Under this order. Mr. Smont said, veterans who can show both the need for and the inability to obtain farm machinery to establish or re establish themselves in farming may obtain preference certificates that require dealers to give priority to their needs. ‘ Dealers are required to honor tbeBe certificates notwithstanding any prior commitments or contracts for sale other than those carrying War Production Board,” Mr. Smoot declared, ‘'The only orders carry ing such ratings are for the military” he continued, '"or in rare cases, farmers faced with emergency situa­ tions.” In explaining the order further. Mr Smoot stated that, ‘‘a veteran using a preference certificate must be able and willing to meet the deal er’s regularly established price and terms of sale or payment. In case a dealer received more than one veter­ an’s certificate for the same piece of equipment, he is required to honor the certificates in the order of their receipt.” The order provides safeguards a- gainst misuse of certifieateB. appeal procedure for both veterau and dealer, and penalties for violations of the order. Mr. Smoot pointed out that the Director of Materials and Facilities, War Food Admisistration, will ad­ minister the order and the prefer­ ence certificates will be issued by County AAA Committees.

Remember those dark days in early 1942, when the Axis tide of conquest was spreading over the world like a plague? That w as when the Trans­ portation Corps of the W ar Depart­ ment asked the Southern Railway System to teach the fine art of rail­ roading to American soldiers who would some day have the job of operating military railroads in a dis­ tant “theatre of operations.” The Southern’s rails were already beginning to hum with a record vol­ ume of wartime traffic. Nevertheless, a “school” was made available for the soldier-railroaders, without charge, on the200 -mile main­ line of the.Southern between New Orleam and Meridian, Miss. Instruc­ tion cars and other special facilities were provided, and veteran Southern officers and employes volunteered to serve as “teachers.” O nM ardi 18,1942, the training was begun. And from that day to Hie end of January, 1945, soldier-railroaders worked alongside skilled Southern officers and employes throughout this 200-mile long “school” ... on trains, in shops and roundhouses...on tracks, in offices and yards. . . learning to work together as a team ...learning to railroad—by railroading. To date we have been privileged to train, not only our own famous Southern-sponsored 727th Railway Operating Battalion, but also three other battalions and the personnel of a replacement school... in all, some 6,000 officers and men. The record shows, too, that when these soldier-railroaders graduated from our "school” and went overseas, they added brilliant new chapters to die history of military railroading on die battlefronts of W orld W ar II. So, as these' soldier-railroaders go highballing down the mainline to final Victory, it is with understandable pride that we mention this extra war job of the Southern Railway System ...n o w that it can be told. -v £ m m 7 £ . * * * * * i Pfttldeat SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM W THED Oldest P No Liquo NEWS L.

NEW WHITE HOUSE TEMPO Harry Truman has now been President of the United States for a little over two months—two of the most historic months in the nation’s history. These two months are suf­ ficient to get a fairly accurate gauge of how the hew President will func­ tion for the rest of his term. On the surface there is a new at­ mosphere in the White House when you walk into it these days. If, for instance, you drop in on White House Secretary Charlie Ross, he is cordial, courteous, but brief. There is no invitation or inclination to sit down and gossip. This business-like atmosphere prevails throughout the entire White House staff. If you go on in to see Ross’s boss, you get in on time. There are few waits. And the little man on the other side of the big, broad, shiny desk listens intently. He wants to hear what his visitors have to say. These are two definite innovations. Truman gives the impression of having a firm grasp on all domestic problems. He knows them thorough­ ly—undoubtedly better than Frank­ lin Roosevelt during his latter years, when he was devoting all his time to the war.One of Truman’s frequent replies to callers when they urge sanction on some special idea is: “I realize that. But it takes time to do all these things, and seldom have so many important things confronted us all at one time. I’ll get around to that just as soon as I can.” One thing that worries him most is our foreign affairs. The new Pres­ ident frankly realizes it is his main weakness. He does not have Roose­ velt’s international background, therefore has to rely almost wholly on his diplomats. Truman’s method of running the government is that of pick­ ing good men and giving them free rein. This is a good sys­ tem, and we could have had more of it in the past. But it breaks down when the President is not sure he can rely on the men picked to perform the most important job we now face — building up the peace after the war, Truman told Stettinius, for instance, that he was to be his own boss at Sanl Francisco. But he found that Stettinius called him on the phone once or twice a day to get his approval of al most every decision. Unlike Roosevelt, Truman does not hesitate to fire a man who doesn’t produce. He let Leonard Reinsch go back to his radio job in Atlanta the day after he handled himself badly in a press conference. He transferred Edward D. McKim, his administrative assistant, after it became known that the genial and likeable McKim seemed too en­ grossed in Mrs. “Hope Diamond” McLean’s dinner parties and the so­ cial whirl of Washington. MacARTHUB ONCE FIRED EISENHOWER Sometimes it is from quirks of fate or personal jealousies that heroes are born. Old army friends of General Eisenhower couldn’t help ‘but re­ member this as they gathered to pay him tribute. For, it it had not been for a per­ sonal row with' General MacArthur in the Philippines, Eisenhower prob­ ably would be in a Jap prison camp today instead of receiving the plaud­ its of millions. When MacArthur retired as chief of staff and began the reorganiza­ tion of the new Philippine army, he took with him to Manila one of the bright, up-and-coming men of the army, Col. Dwight Eisenhower. But, after some time in the Philippines, things didn’t go well, and Mac- Arthur fired him. Eisenhower went’ back to the U.S.A. to climb to fame and the top command of the Ameri­ can army. If he had remained with Mac- Arthur, he probably would now be with Gen. “Skinny” Wainwright and the 16 other American generals taken prisoner by the Japs. BASEBALL AND UNITED NATIONS In San Francisco, a delegation of Philadelphians called on Australia’s External Affairs Minister Herbert Evatt to ask that the city of brother­ ly love founded by William Penn become the seat of the United Na­ tions in the future. Dr. Evatt listened Carefullyi Then he replied: "I can’t vote for Philadelphia un­ til the Phillies 'get oiit' of the cel­ lar. I’m afraid it would give the United Nations a defeatist attitude if both Philadelphia baseball teams were at the bottom of their leagues.” • * * CAPITAL CHAFF C. New Hampshire’s one-time isola­ tionist Senator Tobey' has got reli- Igion., He is so anxious to avoid an- i other war that he has become one of the. most ardent advocates of, inter­ national co-operation.; Tobey - even !blasted (indirectly) his old friend and colleague, ex-Senator Danaher of Connecticut, who, while an execu­ tive ,of the^Republican,national com­ mittee, used his position as ex-sena­ tor .to go on , the^senate floor ,and !lobby against""the Reciprocal trade ^agreements act.

Big Paul, 6 feet 3% inches in height, displacem ent 215 pounds, has always been one of my fa­ vorite pitchers. In 1931, after — knocking around , * * V with Danville and L' . _ -Ij Rochester, Big Paul n . H ' won 18 games for „ ■ th e Cardinals ™ against 8 losses— and then took a heavy dip in 1932. The Kentucky Ri­ fleman was a com­ plete dud in 1933 when he won 7 games and lost 27 games for St. Louis and Cincinnati. That year Paul .couldn’t dent the surface of a custard pie. He wasn’t much bet­ ter a year later, in 1934. After that he stumbled along for a while. But he had big years in 1938, 1939 and 1940. And then again he began skid­ ding a trifle, largely through early season injuries. Just a year ago Paul won 12 and lost 16 games with the Reds— only so-so. Not so hot for Paul—al­ though he was no longer any kid. “In my opinion,” Bill Dickey once told me, “Derringer is one of the best pitchers I ever tried to hit. He has more than his share of speed— he has a fine curve ball—and he has control. I can’t understand why Derringer doesn’t win around 22 or even 25 games a year. I can tell you he’s that good. He’s one of the few pitchers I never liked to face.” In‘any event, Paul Derringer be­ gan his 18th pro season at the age of 37 with four successive wins over the- Cardinals and the Pirates, picked as the two strongest clubs in the National League. Pitching for the Cubs, Derringer may be an upsetting factor in the National League race. For the Cubs have shown the league better pitch­ ing than any one looked for. . Char­ lie Grimm has gotten them away at what you might call spring pennant speed, where a year ago at this time they were deep down in the quick­ sands, out of sight at the bottom. It might be mentioned here that Derringer is on a par with Bill Dickey as a field shot—and a better deer shot — around the Florida Ever­ glades. My guess would be that Der­ ringer is close to being the best pitcher in either league, on a par with Mort Cooper and Bucky Wal- ters. Stirnweiss and Lindell We ran into what you might call a representative gathering of baseball people a few days ago, including veteran baseball writers, managers and old-time ball players. Someone started talking about the best base­ ball player in the American League today. George Stimweiss, the Yan­ kee second baseman, drew a unani­ mous vote for this spot. As Harry Salsinger put it: “Stim­ weiss would have been a star in pre­ war days. He will still be a star in postwar play. The Yankee infield­ er is a strong hitter, a fine Inflelder and a great base-runner. He is fast and smart. An all-around athlete, well up on the competitive side.” In the opinion roundup that fol­ lowed, Boudreau of Cleveland and Stephens of the Browns were placed close to the Yankee entry for all- around ability. This is no news to Joe McCarthy. McCarthy was keen about his crack infielder back in his rookie days. “You’ll hear a lot more about this fellow,” he said a year ago after the first few days of spring training. “He can do about all you could ask from an infielder where all he needs is a little more experience.” Stimweiss joins the combination of baseball and football stars. He was one of the best backs ,North Carolina ever had, ’a chunky bullet. McCarthy has never been any too hilarious about football players. Joe claims they get too many shoulder, ankle and knee bruises or injuries that often return as haunting glyists of former gridiron glory. Yet Stim­ weiss and Spud Chandler, two of his best men, were both football stars. So was Johnny Lindell in high school, which Johnny proved in putting that famous block on Kurow- ski In the 1943-world series. Lindell is • another winning type whose absence would make more than a small difference in the pres­ ent race which may be just as steamy as the one last season that moved on to the final pitch. Lindell himself believes the Yankees’ all- around power and pitching will car­ ry them through this time, whether he is with them or not. * * * Speed Comes First Recently I asked Carl Hubbell, now a Giant scout, what he consid­ ered first^in selecting pitchers. “First of all,” HubbeU said, “a pitcher must have speed. He must have an arm that can slip that' fast one by you. If he has speed, you can probably teach him a curve ball and control later on. If he kicks speed he'has almost no chance. Here and there ydu’ll gfet a slow-ball fitch-, er who can get by. But. not one in a hundred can turn the trick.

SEttVtCt THE STORT THUS FAR: Melody Jones and George Fory had ridden into Payneviile as strangers. Melody was mis* taken for the outlaw, Monte Jarrad. Mon* te’s girl, Cherry, rushed them out of town, hut Melody returned to meet Lee, Leaving town they run into Cherry. Overpowering Lee, Melody and Cherry go to the shack where Monte has hid the express money. Luke Packer, the insurance cop Is there, and Is killed by a bullet fired Hirough Uie window. Mel* ody left to catch the horses and when he returned the sheriff and his men were in the cabin hut the body was missing. Melody asked If they could go If they told where the loot was hidden. There was considerable debate. CHAPTER X m “Do you swear to that?” ' “I swear it on my sacred honor,” said SheriS Thingan piously. “The express box is right over—” Melody began. Melody stopped there, with all the wind suddenly gone out of him, as if he had been kicked in the stom­ ach. By a horse. He had caught George Fury’s eye, and had seen there such unholy terror as George Fury had never shown before. For only a fraction of an instant he failed to understand what this meant. Then he knew what was the mat­ ter. He knew why Luke Packer’s body was no longer on the bunk. And he knew where it must be now.George Fury had put the body of Luke Packer on top of the express box in the cache. “If ever I git out of this darn country,” Melody said, “I ain’t nev­ er coming back!” “What?” Sheriff Thingan demand- fed. “What? What’s that got to do with it?” “Well—nothing, I suppose,” Melo­ dy admitted. , “Don’t you try balking on me!” Thingan snapped. His eyes seemed to have drawn closer together, and his whole face had darkened as the man changed. The dandyish white mustache remained foolish looking, like something stuck there with paste. “Come on, come on, come SB—have I got all night?”“Come on?” Melody repeated in blank desperation. "Come on how?” Thingan instantly looked as if he would blow up. “Don’t you fool with me!” he shouted. The close, taunt­ing opportunity had him crazy. “I’ll tear up a man that’ll fool with me! Where is that express box?” Melody’s words came weakly. “Well—I’ll tell you-” Thingan came close to him, and thrust nastily burning eyes within a few inches of Melody’s own. His voice dropped low, and seemed to loaf, as it conveyed all the threat that he knew how to conceive. “You said you knew where it was,” Thingan said. “Deny that, and I swear, I’ll kill you where you stand. You don’t deny it, do you?” “No,” Melody admitted. “I couldn’t hardly go to deny some­ thing whut I just now spoke.”The big gap-toothed grin came back to Royal Boone’s crude-built face. Because he was a big iron­ boned man, sure of his guns, and with no imagination, he was able to take time to taunt Mormon Stocker. “Still want to turn the pore jigger loose?” “Nump,” said Mormon Stocker. “This punk knows somethin’.” “Yump.”“Okay, then, we got to bang it out of him, that’s all!” “I was thinking more of heating up a brander,” Boone answered. “If you want to burn somebody with a brander,” Cherry de Longpre flared at him like a spit-cat, “you can try it on me, and see what it gets you! You three are the nearest thing to no men at all that I ever saw, and I’ve seen some sorry ones!”“Shut up!” Thingan bellowed, taming on them all. “You jackasses mean to stand and blab until the Cot­ tons ride up and take over?” He spun on Melody. “Once and for all —do you aim to cough up, or do we have to git it out o’ you?”“I—I—I ain’t got no sujestions.” “Git holt of him!” Thingan ordered his deputies. He had holstered his Colt, but now he ripped it out again. It came into his hand fast and sud­ denly, not Sn a smooth draw, but in a violent one. “Git holt of him! Pin him! Pin him and hog-tie’m!” Mormon Stocker moved sidelong, in a sliding lurch, to get between Melody and the door. His gun also was in his hand now, thumb joint clamped hard down across the ham­ mer. “Who’s got a piggin’ string?” Thingan’s voice crackled. Royal Boone said, “Don’t need it.” He came fast around the table. His hands were empty, but they were in front of him a little, big competent hooks, too heavy to tie a knot without fumbling, but good for throwing a steer. His face was dead ugly now, but his eyes had a happy blaze.In that instant the light went out. ' Then, an uneasy, winded quiet. Cherry de Longpre moved slowly, tentatively, out of Itoe comer into which she had packed herself. Her motions were creaky, as if she had been in one position for a long time so tensely had she stood. Some of the strings seemed to have been cut in her knees; they threatened to bend both ways. Sie drew a deep, quivering breath of let-down. The blackness behind her van­ ished wiih a snap and a flare, as a match was struck. Immediately the yellow candle-light welled up softly. Cherry’s chin jerked around, her eyes astonished. The first thing she saw was Royal Boone, sitting against the wall. He wasn’t looking happy. A trickle of blood was running into his left eye from a broken eyebrow, and he was fuzzily trying to rub it clear with one straw-haired wrist. His gun hand rested on one propped-iip knee, the forty-five trailing idly. Cherry turned furious, for no logi­ cal reason. “So, you brush ape,” she prodded him, “they walked over you, did they? Did you think a sor­ ry passel of fakes like you could stop any healthy man and boy from—” She saw surprise, and. a pleasant unbelief, come across Royal Boone’s rough-cut face. His dangling six- gun straightened up and leveled rock-steady at the point. Cherry turned and looked at the room. Melody Jones was there. He had found some of the overturned can­ dles,’ and was methodically lighting them, one by one. Cherry looked at him, while slow disillusionment choked her. “What Sheriff Roddy Thingan looked at Cherry de Longpre with all kinds of benevolence. are you doing here?” she asked him without expression, almost without voice. “Lighting this here candle,” Mel­ ody said. “Why—why didn’t you slope?” Melody blew out his match and looked at her sorrowfully. “I tried to git holt of you,” he told her. “I felt all around in the dark. But I couldn’t find you. What could I do? I couldn’t hardly leave you here, in this here mess.” Cherry’s voice broke, full of hys­ terical tears. “You fool—you fool— you flea-brain! What could they do to me?” Melody looked her up and down blankly. “Plenty,” he decided. Boots sounded outside; Sheriff Roddy Thingan appeared in the door behind her, unexpected. Beyond, she could hear Mormon Stocker in the shadows.“They stomp-peded our hosses,” he said bitterly. He was almost whimpering. “They stomp-peded ev­ ery last hoss, and got plumb clear of—”He stopped short as he saw Melo­ dy. “Oh,” he said faintly. “I got the one we need worst,” Boone said. George Fury was doing somewhat better. Once outside the cabin and into the timber, he was delayed by no false notion that Melody Jones would be able to join him. Two men escaping separately, without any prearranged plan, oould hardly hope to join forces in the storm of flight and running battle in the dark. Not even if one of them were not Melody Jones. He first found an open promon­ tory, from which he could study the throw of the moonlit land. He could not see the cabin from here, but he could closely judge its position. Carefully he calculated the probable trajectory of the bullet which had killed Luke Packer. When he had placed the likely position of the rifle within a furlong or so, he studied the country a long time. He was thinking in terms iff poker now, judging percentages of chance with the same careful ac­ curacy he had used a thousand times when he had staked his wages on the sequence of the cards. He was comparing probabilities of place with the little time he had left, try­ ing to give himself the best stud- poker chances to come out, if it were possible to come out. After a long time he jogged off through the shrub, riding with one stirrup lest his bootless foot slip through the bow, and get him dragged. But the route he chose, yielding and twisting to conform to the land, was as certain as if he rode a traveled trail. But down below in the cabin George now left behind, Melody Jones was making no new friends. “I don’t know why I’m not through with men,” Cherry said bitterly. “I have a mighty poor opinion of wom­ en, what few of ’em I’ve known. But if they don’t have more sense than the smartest man that ever walked, this race is in a hell of a fix!” “Well, shucks, now,” Melody said. “Shut up!” Sheriff Kiingan snapped at him. “How the devil,” he turned blankly to Roy Boone, ’’does it come he’s still here, any­ way?” Royal Boone was getting to his feet, concealing a certain grogginess by movements of great deliberation. He made it, and stood on spread heels, his back against the wall. “He’s here,” he said heavily, “be­ cause I kept him here.” The dis­ gruntled bad temper of an impact headache put a saw edge on his' voice. “While you fellers was fly­ ing out of-here, and leaving that old wild cat raise hell like he felt like, and shooting in the dark, and let­ ting off your guns, and losing our horses—it was me hung onto the guy you really need.” "Tell ’em how you held onto him,” Cherry said to Royal Boone. He shoot her a glance of sheepish hostility. “Well, I - I held onto him,” he said truculently. “He’s here ain’t he? He shore is!” “He shore is,” Cherry admitted, looking at Melody with a disgust that was near to hatred. A brisk heated argument now went briefly round and round, like a bear with a grip on its own tail, as the peace officers sought to determine who was standing where when the lights went out. The voice of Royal Boone had lift­ ed to a measured roar. He had shifted so that he had the door braced shut with his back, “—and it ain’t me that put us afoot!” he bellowed. “Then why,” Mormon Stocker gritted at him, “did you give the old moss-horn his gun back? You had it. Because you took it off him. Where is it?” Roy Boone’s left hand made a sneak check-up of his waistband. His lips drew back from his horse- teeth, but not in a grin; and he said nothing. “Shut up, you both!” Sheriff Thin- gan snapped, coming back to the world of immediate necessity. He had noticed Cherry and Melody talk­ ing with quick intensity; and now he shouldered toward them. Mormon Stocker and Royal Boone still scowled at each other, hill of black gripe. “We got a chance of the biggest law-and-order scoop they’s ever been in this country,” Roddy Thin- gan pleaded. “We all but got my hands on the express box—that’s what we gotta get! What the hell does it matter about who stood where? Are you guys crazy?” Sheriff Roddy Thhigan came close to Melody. He lowered his voice to a soft simulation of double menace. What was really menacing in it was not what he thought. It was that they now knew this man to be' as irresponsible of a prisoner’s life as a seven-year-old child in possession of a bug. “You was speaking of the express box,” he said, his held-down words coming breathily, as if he were panting. “You was saying you knew where it was.” “Oh?” “You spoke of you could lay hands on it within the space of a minute. AU right, boy. A minute is what you got.” “I cainl use it,” said Melody. “You right sure,” Thingan said, with an even more ostentatious soft­ ness, “you want to tangle with me?” “Ain’t sayin’ that,” Melody an­swered, mournfuUy. “But I ain’t going to help you git it; and that’s a fact.” “Work on him, Roy.” Royal Boone stepped toward Mel­ ody, businesslike and unhurried. He blew once upon the knuckles of his half-closed hand; then smashed Mel­ ody on the mouth with his fist. Melody spiffed back against the wall, hard. A last-instant turn of his head had saved his teeth. He did not entirely go down. He came off the wall with his hands in front of him, charging instinctively. In­ stantly Mormon Stocker was on Mel­ ody’s back, pinning his arms with a hay-hook grip upon each of Melody’s elbows. Melody was not entirely pinned, but he was impeded enough to make a sucker of him. He re­ laxed and stood up in Stocker’s grip, his eyes on Roddy Thingan. Cherry de Longpre turned white, but she didn’t say anything. A quick trickle of blood ran from the cor­ ner of Melody’s mouth. By ducking his head he wiped this off on his shoulder, but it instantly reap­ peared. “Where is it?” Thingan asked Melody. Jones said nothing. Royal Boone stepped in again. He made a quick feint with his left hand, and as Melody ducked, brought up a crushing right upper­ cut. It looked as if it nearly tore off Melody’s head; but Mormon Stocker’s hold upon him kept him from falling. A purpling split ap­ peared on Melody’s cheek bone, and began to bleed.

The beginnings of all things in >the book.of Gehesis include, .we are sorry to note, the beginning of. sin .in the faff of Adam. Soon we read jot the first murder, Cain slaying his godly brother, Abel, because his acceptance with God exposed the !wrong heart-attitude, of Cain. The godly line was renewed in Sethi but before long sin again lifted its ugly head. Now the wickedness of man had become so widespread that God was driven to a drastic ,judgment. I. Judgment for the Wicked (6:5-7). The Lord sees the wickedness of men—let us not forget that! At times it seems as though the un­godly flourish in their sin and that there is no judgment upon them. God knows what goes on in the world. He is long-suffering and mer­ ciful, but there is a boundary line to His patience, and when that limit is reached, there can be nothing but judgment. Ever imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was evil continual­ ly (v. 5). One is reminded of Jere- miah 17:9, and of such a contem­ porary estimate of man as that of Dr. Mackay, who said, “Psycholo­ gy has unveiled the dismal and sin­ ister depths in human nature. Man can no longer flee from reality into the romantic refuge of his own heart; for the human heart has be­ come a house of horrors in whose murky recesses man cannot erect for his solace either a shrine or a citadel. Man is bad; he is a sin­ ner.” God did not change His mind (v. 6), but man by his sin moved himself out of the circle of God’s love over into the circle of His judgment God never changes, but we change our relation to Him by our actions. Such is the evident meaning of this verse. - n . Deliverance tor the Upright (8: I, 4, 18). < God remembered Noah, and he “found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Gen. 6:8) because he was “a just man” (6:9). At the Lord’s com­ mand, he prepared the ark for the saving of himself and his house, and after the Lord had “shut him In” (Gen. 7:16), the great judg­ ment by water came upon the earth. After 150 days (Gen. 7:24), the Lord remembered Noah (8:1) and caused the earth to dry up once again. The same Lord who shut him in to keep him during the flood brought him out after the flood (8: 15, 16), gave him great power (9: 1-4), assured him of His protection (9:5-7), and gave him the great promise (9:8-16) of which the rain­ bow became the token. The God who will in no wise for­ get the sin of the wicked will never leave nor forsake those who walk uprightly before Him. The story of Noah should stimulate our !faith, causing us to obey and trust God. His protecting hand is over His children, and He can bring them through the darkest days of tribulation. III. Mercy In the Midst of Sln :(8:20-22). “Noah bullded an altar,” for the first impulse of his heart was to give praise to God for His mighty deliverance. His offering came up to God as “a sweet savor,” that is, it was pleasing to God. To come before God with accept­ able worship, man must come With clean hands. The question is not whether he is brilliant, learned, or of high position. The one thing that counts is obedience. When such a man offers the worship of his heart before God, it goes up to him like a sweet savor. . God knew man’s heart (v. 21). jHe had no illusions that even the judgment of the flood would change jt. Eagerly His love sought man’s obedient response* but He well knew that the awful pestilence of sin Would continue until the very end of the age. - So in spite of that sin, and In the Very midst of it, God promised that He would never again wipe out hu­ manity as He did in the flood. There would be individual judgment and collective judgment on certain groups, but never again the smiting of every living thing. Thus, He set men free from the terror which tnust have now been In their hearts. The beautiful rainbow in the cloud became a token of God’s promise, and the visible assurance to “all flesh” that the judgment of the flood would not be repeated. Never again would seed time and harvest, nor any of. the orderly processes of nature, fail throughout the whole earth. ; What a gracious God we havel And what a pity that men presume upon His goodness^j;*-v - SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Junior Date Frock for Summer Smartly Tailored Button-Front 8859 11-18 $ I Summer Date Frock IJOR the . young in spirit — a 1 charming “date” frock thatwill be the most worn, best loved of your summer costumes.

JULY 11.1945 Can Corn Fresh and a Little At a Time for Good Results —Photo Courtcor BaH Brothera Ca. Corn is a stumbling block for m any an otherwise successful home canner. For some it spoils; for others it turns brown and has poor flavor. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Dj>ec$or for Hall Brothers Company, glass jar company withO- ~headquarters at Muncie, Indiana, con­siders it far from easy to persuade the general public to adopt practices and procedures which give satisfactory results.If you have never canned com but want to this season because of ration­ ing, or if you have tried and failed, you may profit by following Miss Kim­brough’s advice. In an informal dis­cussion of the subject she said, “Sweet com, particularly the deep yellow, is rich in flavor and food value, but field corn cans as well, keeps as well, as the garden varieties and is the pref­erence of many persons who could, if they chose, grow a patch of sweet corn for table use. So, take your choice but don’t pay your money unless you know the corn is fresh from the stalk and that it is at the most perfect stage for table use. At this stage the kernels are plump, shiny, and all but bursting with milk-like juice. Can Corn Early As com matures, the milk gives way to a substance called dough. Then people say the corn is too hard and they say right because it is hard to keep it by canning once it has passed from the full milk to the dough stage.Bacteria, particularly. those which cause fiat sour, like warm com. This is one big reason why it doesn’t pay to gather, prepare, and can com by the "wagon load.” Flavor is another good reason for the can-a-little-at-a-time rule. Com loses its sweetness more rapidly than any other vegetable with the possible exception of green peas. This fact, plus bacteria’s special lik­ing for corn which has stood several hours, explains the wisdom of the old slogan, "two hours from garden to can­ ner.”Jars, caps, lids, rubbers, canner and all other utensils needed should be ready for use when the com is brought In for canning.It is a waste of time, energy, and food to put anything in a jar which can’t be sealed airtight. The smallest nick or crack can cause trouble, so smart home canners take time to ex­amine the sealing surface of every jar and lid. Jars, caps, glass lids and rubbers should be washed in warm soapy water, rinsed, covered wiih warm water and then boiled. One can’t be too clean about canning. Used jars, caps, and lids should be boiled 20 to 30 minutes. New ones need only be brought to boiling and kept hot.Any jar, cap, lid, and rubber worth using is worth using by the manufac­turer's instructions. Such instructions are given on a circular packed with the jars and printed on toe cap car­tons.Two sharp lrnh-es are needed—one small, one large. And. you will want a cutting board. A well scrubbed plank win do if you have nothing better.When everything is ready lay an ear of com on toe board, then use toe strong knife to cut through husks, com and cob at each end of toe ear. Next, stand toe ear upright and use both hands to peel off toe husks. If eased along with the thumbs, most of toe silks will come off with toe wrappings. This method may sound troublesome, - but after you get toe hang of It you will find toe work goes fester and with much less muss than when the husking is done in toe usual way.Discard any ear of eon which seems a bit hard. Rinse and drain toe com after it has been freed of silks, then cut—don’t saw—the kernels from the cob, taking ease not to cut fee cob. This is where you need feat small sharp IphMfyThe danger of spoilage b far lase when whole kernels are used. Cream style is made by SUeing the tins of fee kernels and then scraping out fee pulp. It te frUy to can cream style unless one has a steam pressure cooker with an accurate gauge. Pint gfre jars are best fer any kind of edm and practically a mutt fer cream style, because heat passes through eom slowly.R doesn’t do to keep com waiting Its turn In toe canner. If yon happen to have some left over because of faulty ' judgment In estimating fee amount needed to fill the jars, pot It in the I refrigerator to keep cool until the next' batch can go into fee canner. Adding Water BwenMaI Be sure to add one and one-quarter cup boiling water to each four aims of whole kernel com and two cups of boil­ ing water to each four of cream style. The water is needed to help the heat get through toe corn In a hurry and to prevent - the com turning brown. That brown color and overcooked flavor . you dislike is caused by caramelixatlon' of the com sugar. This doesn’t hap­pen when the eom is young and juicy, enough water is used, and the process­ing done at the right temperature.Most persons like about one-half tea- : spoon of salt to each pint of com. A little sugar won’t hurt anything, nor will it hurt if you forget the salt. The amount used is too small to help pro-' vent spoilage.Some persons manage to can com by processing it three and a half to four hours in a hot-water bath canner but it is fer better to use a steam pressure cooker provided it is In toe right work­ ing order and worked right That last “right" means Follow the Mamfee-; turer’s Instructions! | GIVEN TREASURY—Ted R.

I ers they’re out to convince fee m en: who till the soil that they should convert their expanded bank ac­counts into bonds."Farmers, like all Americans,' have been building up bank deposits and currency holdings ever since fee war started,” Predmore said. “Oaj January 1,1920, agriculture held cur-| rency and bank deposits totaling slightly over 4 billion dollars. TI 194S figure is not available, but it expected to be in excess Ot 10 ' lion.”Wife larger operations and creased costs farmers must ha' more operating capital than in 1940J but they don’t need 10 billion, Inj Predmore’s opinion.

It seems more to think right than the vast majority of mankind rea­ lize The-Lord Jesus Christ, know­ ing the thoughts of - men, asked certain scribes of his day, “ Where­ fore think ye evil In your hearts.” (Matt - 9 :4). The Lord could read their thoughts, or knew them, therefore asked this startling ques­ tion. Evii thoughts In the hearts and minds of men keep them ont of the tyld and kingdom of God, and from reaching life’s goal. Mul­ titude^ are simply slaves to evil, ungodly wicked thoughts. Speak­ ing of those who have an evil eve, Solomon said. “ As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Prov. 23 :7.) Men don’t rise any higher In their moral and spiritual life than they are in their thoughts. If they are on!,, evil continually, then such thoughts stand as a mighty barrier between them and God, heaven and eternal life. Paul said, “Let this mind be in yon. which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 2:5.) We know the mind of Christ is not evil, bo.t clean. He would have us with a clean mind, too, as we live from day to day and pursue the pathway of our earthly pilgrimage toward eternity. How blessed to have our mind so cleansed through the grace of God, and by the precious blood of Christ, until we think cleen, nobla, righteous, uplitiing, upbuilding, e- Ievaling thoughts! Such thinking enables us to overcome the low, base, defiling, degrading evils and sins about us, aod to live aod walk in the realm of the godly. Our lives are then pleasing in the sight of God, and we are blessing oth­ ers. Hallelujah! Deceptive Farm Profits Declaring that the nation’s war­ time food police is at the cross-roads, Fred H. Sexauer. president of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative As­ sociation, says the course adopted in the next few weeks will determine how much food people will have in 1946 and possible will have in 1947. “The production of war materials has been attained by incentive is de­ nied farmers. Fair prices to farm ers and adoption recommendations made by farm organizations at the beginning of the war would have a- voided much of the present and pros­ pective food shortage. The avoid serve food shortages in the months ahead OPA should im­ mediately revise its whole approach to the food problem. ‘A sound, free economy in this, na­ tion can rest only upon a prosperous agriculture and active manufactur­ ing. This requires a fair price level for farm products.” We heard one merchant compare the OPA to the Gestapo. We don't understand the OPA, and lots of other folks are in the same con­ dition. :- Sogar and Whisky Union Republican. On the front page of last week’s issue of this newspaper, we tried to point out to you readers how your government and mine is treating us in the matter of sugar rationing, we showed you very plainly how the government with one band clamps the lid down on the sugar bowl in you home and cries out for more home canning while at the same time cutting down cn the al­ lotments, and then with the other allotments, apd then with the other hand passes ont all the sugar the li­ quor industry needs for the making of whisky. . We are very interested In the fol­ lowing editorial appearing in The Rutheiford County News written by an editor who cries out against whisky and votes for the wet New Desd gang: There is a shortage of suga 1 We do not know the full facts. We think that somebody has “messed things up,” as far as sugar is con­ cerned. Some years ago on a visit to Cuba we heard pleas from the sugar manufacturers that they be allowed to send more sugar to the States,” Cuba produces much sugar. On a vist to Florida in the spring of 1941, the Sugar Corporation, with headquarters at Clewiston, in the Everglades officials stated that they could produce enough sugar to'supply the entire U. S. if allow­ ed to do so. They begged for the privilege of producing more sugar. Now that fruits and vegetables are ready to can, the people have little or no sugar to can with. Yet, our Government urges “all to can all they can.” Our. Federal Gov­ ernment has announced a "Holi­ day for Liquor Manufacturers.’ This means that the liquor interests have the “green light" to go a head and make more liquor. It takes sugar to make more liquor, wine and beer. The fact is, we suspect, some of our-sugar is and has been going to the distillers. This is nothing s'jort of a tragedy, to al- low our sugar to be made into a li­ quor to kill people and let the fruits and vegetables go to waste for lack of sugar. We realize that some sugar has been going to the starving people people of the Old World. Some has been going to our allies. Yet, there is sot any more people to feed than a year or two ago, probably not as many, for war has killed many. Our Government officials knew the war was-on. They knew about the shipments abroad. They also know about much sugar "going into alcoholic beverages.” We urge all to write, or wire your Congressman and U. S. Senat­ ors, also President Truman, to use tbeir influence to stop sugar being made into whisky and let the folks have the sugar to preserve food. Millions of people will face starva­ tion next winter unless food is pre­ served now. America will do much to help feed a hungry world. We can do much more with sugar. Poli­ tics has likely “played a part.” Urge members of Congress to de­ fer or stop liquor making. We can do without alcoholic drinks but we cannot do without sugar.

Mocksville, N. C., Route No. 4. By; A. T. GRANT, Attorney. Only Cure For Inflation Price controls were developed sole­ ly to meet wartime conditions and the OPA is pledged to remove these just as soon as the production of civilian goods eliminates inflation­ ary danger and permits return to free markets, That is a quotation from the head of OPA itself. Ohestar Bowles, an advocate of free enterprise, plenty of everything and an end to bureau­ cracy. As a rule, the big men in the bureaus are sensible. Usten to this: “ We have taken special steps to eliminate red tape.” That is Chester again. He was refering es­ pecially to small business. It seems astounding, but prior to theBe latest utterances, he had de­ clared what many had thought but few had the courage to say. It was a statement that the preventive and the cure of inflation is the proction of more and more” commodities and goods of ail kinds. That, he said, would smother inflation. Passing a law wil! not prevent it. Congress mightas well pass a law forbidding people to eat or to wear pants in order to koep food prices down or pants at $1.98 a pair. The answer is more food and more pants. Just how about three poisons, ail with money, are bidding against each other for the same article. Nd matter what the OPA price is, it can’t prevent the three from fight­ ing for it. The oniy answer in the long run is more of everything as soon as possible. That is both theory and fact, if in­ flation is to be prevented. The only wav to keep the dam from breaking is provide more of everything. Even the OPA now realizes this. In time, the little bureaucrats will recognize it but not until they, too, join tbe mob fight for constantly shrinking articles.—Charlotte Observer.

Crater, Albemarle. It was through the blood of in- nocenc lambs that the Israelites re ceived tbeir iedemptiou from the bondage of Egypt. The blood of these innocent lambs secured peace for the Irselites. No, there was nothing more required for them to do. When the destroying angel passed that night and saw the ap. plication of blood sprinkled on the house He passed over them. Have you been.sprinkled by the blood of Christ? ft-Sot, you had better have it done at once. The death angel may pass over tonight. God did not say, “ When yon see the blood, I will pass over you.” No. But He did say, “ When Isee the blood, I will poss ovei you.” So many things are mixed up with the blood of Christ, that many folks just don’t know what to do, or which ie the right way, there fore they are plunged into dark­ ness. But they can take it from Christ’s word Ihat they have not the blood of Jesus Christ applied to tbeir hearts. There is no such a thing as being partly saved and partly lest, or partly justified and partly guilty, or partly born again and partly not. There are but two states, and no doubt we are in one or the other. We are saved or lost, and tbe most of us know it, too. Tbe Israelite knew he was. safe, and be did not just hope so. He was not saved by his thoughts or feelings, but by the blood. There is a class of people that woul&have us believe that we were saved ?jvay back yonder, even before the foun­ dation of the world; that all God’s children were included In the kind of an arrangement covenant, and these alone will be the only ones that will ever get to get to heaven, and therefore denying that Jesus Christ died on tbe cross to save all that will come unto Him, and be­ lieve in him and have their hearts- and souls sprinkled with His blood. If they were saved back then, they have made an awful mess of back­ sliding. Let me have it like God said: “ Without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sin.” So how could we have been saved then when there hadn’t been any shedding of blood. “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son, (God's Son) deanseth us from ALL sins” 1st fobn, 1:7 “O precious is the flow, That makes me white as snow, No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus ” “ When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” JARS/ CARS, S and RUBBERS' And follow iHbiruciiooB is the Bdl Blue Book.

"Our artillery saved us, even though the bursts were to<v' close for comfort.” . As wounded men Were withdrawn to the center of the perimeter, ouq defense circle became smaller and smaller. When aid came, we were reduced to eight rounds of ammunition per man. not enough to even start fight­ ing off another 'attack. A Grave Situation The following appeared as the lead editorial on the front page of Chari­ ty and Children, published at the1 North Carolina Baptist Orphanage at Thomasville, and we passibobto our readers: The situation in the United States' between the government and reli­ gion has become quite serious, Our government is working earnestly to solve many perplexing problems, both national a n d international. Earnest effort is being made to for­ mulate the peace that will last and other efforts are being made to feed thehungry of the world. The dis­ tressing thing about .,it. all is that there seems to be no need of God' in tbe plans. The Kentucky Derby was witness­ ed by seventy thousand people who bet nearly $1,000 OOO on the race, Thew people went to Kentucky from every .state in the union by every manneh of conveyance. Priorities, were gived horses ”-h'd' gamblers— rode- trims, buses, 'air­ planes, and auutomobiles with the blessings of the United States gov* ernment. Other races will attract equally large crowds and all the while church conventions and confer­ ences are under the ban. Gamblers, jockeys and horses are allowed to travel in vast numbers from one side of the continent to the osher while preachers are not allow­ ed to assemble in, Jnodest-SUiflbers within the borders of their own state. Itj^ a grave situation that we baye in the United States. From the government standpoint we are a people no longer needing God. The ’people who forget God are soon for- gjtten of God and that means the end. Tbe Government of the United States is not like that of Germany of the recent past. Hitler and Com­ pany fought Christianity. The U n" ed States is moving on as if was no such being as Jeati^'-y in that Government is ■ ing the people. It is a/ I J tion. THE DAVIE RECORD, M0CK3VILLE, N. C. Jap Suicide Planes Cause Tremendous Damage WAR’S GREATEST SAGA When the final history of the war is told, one of its greatest chapters will describe that branch of the serv­ ice totally new to war—the Air Transport command. Transporting prime ministers and presidents, ■wounded men, jeeps and Pat Hur­ ley’s Cadillac over oceans and des­ erts has now become commonplace news to the American public. But behind that commonplace news is a thrilling story of painstaking, back­ breaking pioneering. Here are some things few people know about the Air Transport com­ mand: Most used air route in the world is not between Washing­ ton and New Torkt not between r New Tork and Chicago, but over - “The Hump” between Oiina and India. . . . Traffic over this ' world’s highest mountain range, the Himalayas, is so heavy that planes travel at different alti­ tudes so there will be no colli­ sions. One plane will have or­ ders to fly at 22,000 feet, another ' at 23,000, and so on. ThTee or . four different air routes are used ' across the Hump, also to avoid collisions. Next most heavily used air route is across the North Atlantic. The ATC sends a plane across the At­ lantic every 58 seconds. That’s about •as fast as traffic moves on the Penn­ sylvania railroad between New York: and Philadelphia, busiest rail line in the world. . . . The ATC is now fly­ ing returning troops across the At­ lantic at a rats of 50,000 per month. . . . For years, ATC pilots have been briefed on how to land on the difficult airports of Green­ land, Iceland or China. Now the ATC has the tremendous thrill of briefing pilots on arriving at home ports—Boston, Portland, Long Is­ land. . . . Pilots say that no briefing was ever more welcome. From Battle Fronts. More than 220,000 wounded men have been carried in ATC planes away from the battle front. Dur­ ing the early stages of Okinawa fighting, planes swooped down on makeshift runways, taxied up to am­ bulances, took off right under the noses of Jap guns. Stretchers were loaded aboard wfiile the planes re­ fueled. . . . One big ATC job has •been getting crashed fliers out of, the Himalayas. Amazing fact is that; 75 per cent are saved. . . . Lt. Gen. Harold George, boss of the ATC,' realized in advance that crashes' would be heavy over the Hump, so . men were given special training on. how to live in the jungles. They' were even taken to jungle outposts' to get familiar with the jungle be-; fore they hopped. . . . Kvery plane flying the Hump has a small tin chest (with its own parachute) con­ taining medicine, snake-bite, anti­ dote, water purifier, concentrated food, signal flares, mirrors, mosqui­ to nets, etc. This chest is kept near the plane’s door. If the crew has to jump, the chest is kicked out be­ fore the last man leaves the plane. ' . . . In the jungle, crews are taught to stay where they are until sighted by rescue planes which signal in­ structions as to where they can be picked up. . . . Natives are usually friendly and the chances of getting rescued from the jungle are far bet­ ter than if a flier drops over the des­ ert or in the sea. Japs Shot Down Many. The Japs shot down many ATC planes early in the war by painting their DC-4s with U. S. insignia. . . . Plying up close, the Japs waited until they had perfect targets, then fired. . . . U. S. planes had to be repainted. Before Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt ,ordered special fighter planes 'rushed to the British in Efvpt where Rommel had General Montgomery's back to the wall.. . . Howriver, fight­er planes couldn’t rnaki the long trek across Africa without refueling and there was no airpoit in the heart continent., . . I One day an American engineer was dropped off a plane almost in the center of Af­ rica, in French territory not far from the Sudan. He had his pockets stuffed with money, and his head stuffed with ideas. That was about all. He also had instructions to build an airport.. . . Six weeks later the ATC came back and he had a 4,500-foot sodded runway in fairly good shape. He had drafted most of the camels and most of the na­ tives in that part of Africa and paid .them plenty to do the job. Fighter ^)IanSsTn?jTP£fliately began crossing !to the Egyptian tfront and the Brit­ ish army staged its. comeback. . . . Today the French art making diplo­ matic inquiries as to this airport, apparently with a view to taking it over. Fifty Million Letters. Fifty million letters were flown by the ATC to Europe in April. This peak load has now; dropped off due jto troop transfers out of Europe, but the ATC has been the largest mail! . carrier in history- - . * Also it runs , ithe world’s largest hotel, chain.

Model Airplane Fans Compete ■ r The Prop Spinners held their sixth annual Northeastern champion­ ship event for gas-powered model airplanes at Hicksville, L. I., N.

Others prepare their craft for a record flight. Benes Reviews Lidice Troops Men 9f the new Czech army present arms as they are reviewed by President Ednard Benes of Czechoslovakia on the site of the town of Lidice which was leveled by the Germans in 1912 in retaliation for the slaying of Heinbard Heydrich, neat Prague. The review followed a memorial service for the thousands of victims of Nazi fanaticism. Tiger Hank Returns After four years away from big league baseball diamonds, Hank Greenberg, twice selected as Amer­ ica’s outstanding baseball player, returns to the Detroit Tigers of the American league. Little, but Oh, My! Quite cute are these three-day-old skunks when they arrive In New Torfe and are admired by fhc'r nc .v fan. Give them a few mo:: 'is sr.. they will be given a v.'i;7 - >• GrantIandRIce jD ECENT outpourings of the popur lace at large have shown one thing beyond all argument. The pub­ lic would rather have a contest— than class. For example, big league baseball has lost over 400 of its best men to war service — such players as Dickey, Gordon, Chandler, Walker, Cooper, Joe DiMaggio, Tex Hugh- son, Bob Feller—on and on Md on. Thoosands thought that the ab­ sence of these stars would turn away the crowds. But the closer and more interesting pennant races have more' than filled out the long lines at the turnstiles. Tou may recall the old days when the Tankees were 18 games in front a ro u n d Ju ly or early August. In th o se d ay s th e A m erican league pennant race was over just about when it started. There was no con­ test. Last season the Cardinals had the National league race practical­ ly won back in April. Once again— no contest. The recent derbies have had no Johnstown, Whirlaway or Count Fleet. But they offered contests— and brought out the greatest crowds in racing history as far as the United States is concerned. The public wants to see a good rough and tumble scrap for the top — an interesting turmoil where more than one can win. Even with the cold, wet weather of May and early June, the crowds have proved this point in baseball.* • • A Different Boom The new sporting boom, now get­ ting under way, is entirely different from the boom that followed the First World war. That was the boom and the era of stars—known as the Golden Age of sport. This new boom will be all differ­ ent. In the first place, it will have far more contestants through the army and navy sporting program. In the second place, it will all out­ class those days in the matter of public interest and public attend­ ance. For us this has been a far rougher and more devastating war than the first world upheaval knew. Then we went to war in April, 1917, and we were through in November, 1918. That was only a sprint by com­ parison. But this war began in December, 1941, and it is still going full blast. The casualty list of this war will triple the casualty list of the number one affair. The tremendous sports program which army and navy are working on is dead sure to bring in a star crop of baseball players, football players and boxers from the young­ er set. “These army and navy ball players will have the advantage of good training and fit condition,” ' Carl Hubbell says. “That can make a big difference. Also there ought to be enough to go around so that all of us can improve.” Dave Ferriss and Al Benton have proved HubbelTs slant. Coaches Greasy Neale and Steve Owen feel the same way about it in regard to football. So do the college coaches who expect to get their share of these veterans. Commissioner Chandler has prom­ ised to give thousands of extra kids a chance to play baseball who have been shut out before through lack of playing space. It has al­ ready been proven clearly that this country needs more players than it needs extra spectators. This idea may not strike every promoter as a happy thought, but it will be that way in the future. In the meanwhile the first rush of the boom is already here. The ball parks are proving it. * * * Major Test Case Hank Greenberg will be 35 years old on January I, 1946. He has been out of baseball action four seasons and before he moved into war serv­ice he had known 10 years of big league service. From now on Tiger Hank’s play will be followed with greater interest than the perform­ ance of any other player now in baseball. This not only includes ev­ ery baseball fan, but also every veteran service athlete who hopes to return to some form of sport. Joe Louis and Billy Conn are notable examples. So are many oth­ er boxers—many other ball play­ ers — and many other football stars. Greenberg at least will give • us part of the answer as to what four years of athletic inaction will do. I talked with the tall captain just before he was given his army re­ lease. Weighing 195 pounds, he looked fit for anything. “I only wish I Imew the answer,” he said, “but I believe I have at least two more seasons left in my system. It will take a little time to get going again, to get my eye on the ball. I hope not too long. But I am in good shape physically, al­ though my legs will need some sea­ soning. It will be good to get back in time to have at least a chance to pick up the old game. Another year would have been too late."

"'Aiak1POtu1 Mtpbber/ D o a n s P ills Heap Salad Bowls With Vitaihins 1 For Summer Help Xoutself to Vitamins: This pretty as a picture salad bowl is made simply by alternating rows of lettuce wedges and mounds of po­tato salad, garnished with slices of bard-cooked eggs. It’s hearty enough for a main dish, even with­ out meat. Summer is the time to heap high the salad bowl and bring generous portions of nature’s bounty of vita­ mins and minerals to the table. Active summer play and strenu­ ous work calls for big servings of health and energy producing foods. That’s why the salad bowls play a major role in the menu parade. There’s another reason, too, why salads are going to be important this season. When the butcher has no meat and the cupboard yields nothing of inter­ est to the home­ maker, she can always go to her refrigerator and bring out lovely greens, juicy fruits and berries, toss them together and serve an eye-appealing salad. If more substantial salads are desired, especially for main dishes, they can be flecked with the white and gold of protein-rich eggs, unrationed, lus­ cious bits of chicken- or well chilled and subtly seasoned fish. Vary the trimmings and change the dressing, and no salad can ever become monotonous. If oils and fats for salad dressings are scarce, put them together with sour cream, fruit juices, vinegar or cooked dressings that require little fat. Here are two main dish salads that will go over big with the family. One stars eggs and the other chick­ en: Star Deviled Eggs. (12 Eggs) 12 bard-cooked eggs 2 tablespoons salad dressing I tablespoon lemon juice IVi teaspoons mustard IVi teaspoons Worcestershire sauee 94 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon pepper Remove shells from eggs. Cut a slice from both ends, cutting the slice at the round end deep enough to expose the yolk. Cut deep gashes into the egg white around the round­ ed end to give a saw tooth edge. Rressing gently at the bottom, force out the yolk. Press yolk and egg white that was cut off through the sieve. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Refill shells Garnish tops if desired. To serve as a salad, lay on top of sprigs of watercress or other greens. Or, use as a garnish far other salad platters. -Buffet Chicken Salad. (Serves 8) 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken 14 cup french dressing 4 cups boiled rice, chilled Lynn Says Different Salad Dressings: If fruits and vegetables do net give enough variety to make salads in­ teresting, season; the dressing It- self for flavor plus. Club Dressing: To I - cup -of mayonnaise, add I tablespoon chopped currants, I tablespoon chopped raisins, I tablespoon chopped nuts. ... Indian .; Dressing: Vt cup «d chow-chow to I cup mayonnaise. iTttftar Dressing is excellent on fish saladsl' To I cup mayonnaise, add 2 tablespoons chopped sweet gherkins, I tablespoon capers, I tablespoon chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons chopped olives. Thousand -Island Dressing is easily tossed together. For a cup of mayonnaise, use 14 cup ahili sauce, I tablespoon green pepper and chopped stuffed olives. ' Egg dressing is lovely to look at when made By adding-I-chopped hard-cooked egg, I tablespoon chopped pimiento and I table­spoon India relish to I cup may­ onnaise. A bit of leftover meat? Add it to the eggs. Especially good are diced ham, tongue or dried beef.

Salt and pepper to taste Boiled dressing or mayonnaise Lettuce or greens Jellied cranberry sauce Deviled eggs Combine chicken and french dress­ ing. Chill about I hour. Meanwhile cook rice until fluffy and season well according to taste. Just before serv­ ing combine chicken, chilled rice and enough salad dressing to moist­ en. Season. Arrange in individual lettuce cups on platter or salad bowL Garnish with thick slices of cran­ berry sauce and deviled eggs. Top with additional dressing, if desired. There’s nothing so cooling on a warm summer night than a jellied tomato salad. Although this recipe provides for a simple salad, it may be varied by adding leftover or chopped, fresh vegetables to it. Jellied Tomato Salad. (Serves 10) I quart hot, stewed tomatoes 1 teaspoon salt 2 packages of lemon flavored gelatin Vi cup sliced, pickled onions orI teaspoon onion juice 14 cup sliced stuffed olives 94 oup diced green pepper 1 cup diced celery Dissolve gelatin in hot tomatoes. Add salt add cool. When gelatin begins to congeal, add the remain­ ing ingredients. Place in a large mold, rinsed with cold water, or in individual molds. Chill until firm. Serve on salad greens with either french dressing or mayonnaise. A fruity salad doubles for the des­ sert, if so desired. This one is espe­ cially good when served with tiny cakes or finger cookies: Ocean Breeze Salad. (Serves fi) 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cups diced boneydew melon I cup watermelon balls or slices % cup wbite grapes, split and seeded I cup grapefruit sections 3 tablespoons preserved ginger 114 tablespoons gelatin 14 cup cold water 14 cup sugar 3 tablespoons chopped maraschino cherries Mix gelatin and water and let stand 5 minutes. Dissolve over hot water. Combine fruits, lemon juice, sugar and ginger. Chill thor­ oughly. Add gela­ tin and pour into a mold. Chill un­ til firm. If it is obtainable, Vi pint whipped cream may be added to fruits before they are mixed with the gelatin. Green, White and Gold: As pic­turesque as a garden In full bloom is this simple salad made by plac­ ing chilled deviled eggs on crisp sprigs of watercress. Use extra dressing if desired, and serve for luncheon or side dish at garden sup­ per. Your salad can be better than just “passing" if your dressings ar^ smooth and well seasoned so they can complement the other ingredi­ ents of toe salad bowl. Here are several good basic suggestions: GoHced Dressing. 94 cup sugar 94 cup vinegar' 94 cup evaporated milk Vi teaspoon salt Disscflve sugar in vinegar and stir until it dissolves.

Beginning about September I, they provide feed for livestock, hold toe soil against erosion, aid land to absorb moisture, and when turned under in the spring, increase the soil’s supply of essential ele­ ments. Government reports show that toe planting of cover crops is especial­ly important in the east central and southern states. The South, within a single decade, increased its acre­ age under cover from a few hundred thousand to several million acres. There is still room for more cover crops, however. Postwar farming profits, as well as production of food, fiber and oil crops essential to victory in the Pacific, depend to no small degree upon toe added fertility, reduced erosion and increased production of cash crops derived from toe use of a winter cover for toe soil. That means more winter legumes such as Austrian winter pea, hairy vetch, smooth vetch, crimson clover, bur- BSBi Plowing Under Cover Crop. clover and sour-elover, and more ryegrass, alfalfa, kudzu and Ies- pedeza. While rotations of crops depend upon climate, location and type of soil, once a farm has a well-planned cover crop program, the benefits will make themselves increasingly felt Nutrition Knowledge Cuts Loss of Calves Farmers would lose fewer calves if they had a better understanding of a few simple principles of caff nutrition, according to a report of the American Veterinary Medical association. In the field of minerals, salt, iodine, calcium and phosphorus are toe ones to be watched most care­ fully. Salt and iodine deficiencies can be prevented by including I per cent of iodized salt in the grain mixture, and offering iodized salt free-choice. Calcium ,and phosphorus deficiencies can be avoided by in­ cluding I per cent of calcium and phosphorus supplements in toe grain mixture. If whole or skim milk is fed at toe rate of 12 pounds per day, no calcium or phosphor­ us is needed. Beef and Dairy Cows Selected for Type While it is essential that the characteristics of toe breed be un­ derstood, the temperament, capa­ city, mammary system, health, The body form of toe dairy cow should be wedge-shaped while that M toe beef animal is rectangular, as shown. breed record as well as market de­ mands, must play an important part in selection of beef or dairy cattle. Generally toe dairy cow wilj have a good type if she is much wider in toe hooks or pinbones and narrow down to a sharp, fine point at too withers or top of her shoulders. Produce Quality Hay Tests conducted at the Wyoming acperiment station indicates that the maximum yield of digestible nu­ trients of hay is dependent upon the stage at which hay is cut. Alfalfa should be cut when one-tenth in bloom. Timothy and grass hays should be cut when the plant is in full bloom. Leaves or grass or al­ falfa hay cany toe heaviest portion of nutrients, so every attempt should be made to harvest hay When it will retain the leaves, __ , SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK Pineapple Runner to Crochet A LOVELY 11-inch pineapple square that can be used as a separate doily, as a place mat, or three or more squares can be joined together to make a buffet runner or a long dining table cen­ terpiece. Crochet it in either white or ecru thread. ImS If you loathe breakfast-rushing, then before leaving toe kitchen after supper set out the percolator, one or two pans, cereal, measuring cup, glasses and dishes. It will give you a flying start in-toe morn­ ing. — • — ■ If you wish to make an extra hole in a strap and haven’t toe nec­ essary belt punch, drill toe hole with brace and drill. Nail polish remover is very ef­ fective in removing toe marks left after adhesive tape has been pulled from toe skin. ■ —ri*—* After washing blankets rinse them in water in which a block of camphor has been dissolved. They can then be stored without fear of attack by moths. Old-fashioned iron skillets are better for frying and braising than bright, light-weight frying pans. They hold the heat better and cook more evenly. A stiff steel brush will remove hardened earth from hoes, rakes and spades.

THE STORY THUS FAR: Melody Jones and George Fury bad ridden into Fayneville and Melody mistaken (or the outlaw, Monte Jarrad. MonterS girl, Cherry, got them out of town, hut Melody returned to meet Lee. Lee and Melody ran into Cherry and George, overpowered Lee and went to the shack where Monte hid the express money. Luke Packer, the insurance cop, was there and shot by someone outside. Tfhen Melody re­ turned with the horses he found the sheriff in the cabin but the-body gone. Zn their effort to learn where the ex­ press money was hid, they started to beat up Melody. He had learned that the body was placed in the wall where the strong box was hidden. CHAPTER XIV “I’ll bust him down, all right,” Royal Boone said. He was just warming up to his work. "Sure you’ll bust him,” Stocker said with an ironic slur to it. “But when?” "Bight quick,” Boone promised. He blew on his knuckles.Stcf er straightened Melody up to takd'S 3 blow. But he said, “I ain’t so sfirS. You ain’t got all night, if them Cottons is close as I think they be.”“Wait, Roy,” Thingan said. “We got to try something different.” “What’s the reason we do?” “Because you’re going to knock him out, thataway. Then what good is he?”“What good is he anyhow?” “I thought of something,” Thin- gan said, talking quickly now. A desperate hurry was in his eyes. “What was the last thing he said, just before he balked on us?” “He said he knew where—” “No, no—that ain't what I mean,” Thingan cut Stocker off with almost frantic impatience. “He said he could lay hands on the egress box in less’n a minute, didn’t he? And right after that he makes a kind of a false start—but not toward the floor—and he says, ‘the box is right ■over—’ ” “And there’s where he drew hack,” Stocker said. “Yes,” Thingan said with bitter sarcasm. “We recall he drew back, but he was right on the ragged edge —he even started to move toward it—and not toward the outside! Fel­ lers—that express box is here in this dump!” “You’re wonderful,” Stocker said sourly. “Pick it up, then, and let’s go.” He slacked his grip on Melo­ dy’s arms experimentally, then, as Melody stood there, let go the pris­ oner’s elbows. But he kept a pur­ chase on Melody’s belt. Thingan paid no attention to him. ‘‘He was standing right over here,” he began, taking position in imita­ tion of Melody. “Over what? He never said.” “Over here, you fool! .That’s what h® meant!” “All right then,” Boone blared at him, “he says ‘Over here, you fool,’ meaning you, I guess, and moves toward the blank wall. Hell! Let’s get on with the way we was doing. Hold him, Mormon.” Both Stocker and Thingan ignored this. “Boot in that door!” Thingan ■ordered, indicating the root cellar. Boone obeyed. The door, being unfastened, banged wide. Thingan caught up a candle, and both he and Royal Boone jammed into the root cellar, virtually at once. Thingan and Royal Boone came piling out of the root cellar again. Thingan stood pulling at his lower lip, his eyes so avid as they searched the room that he looked drunken. “Pull this up,” he ordered, kick­ ing the bunk. Roy Boone tore the bunk out by the roots in a couple of splintering heaves. Nothing was under it but a considerable rat’s nest, and a litter of such trash as had found its way there. Melody saw that Cherry had si­ dled nearer the door; she could al­ most reach it, from where she now stood, if reaching it would have done any good. You could always get to that door, but you could never get through it. “Still figuring,” Melody thought, “still trying. She never gives nothing up . . .” Royal Boone was methodically testing the packed clay floor, under the place where the bunk had been, chipping at it with his high heel. But now Sheriff Roddy Thingan whirled upon that deep window em­ brasure in the adobe wall. Light had come to him, sudden and com­ plete. He laid hold of the great slab that covered the cache, and heaved . . . Nothing happened. Incredibly, without any reason, the slab stuck where it was. Thingan tried a few more wrenches, this way and that, but nothing gave. “Ain’t no use heaving at that," Roy Boone said. “It’s all sewed down with cobwebs.” “You figure,” Mormon Stocker said with insult, “the old man can’t even tear a cobweb up?” “Them cobwebs been there for years,” Boone explained, in vacu­ ous good faith. “You don’t tell me,” Stocker said. Thingan’s voice was low, quick- hreathed and shaky. “Work on him, Roy,” he said fervently. "Work on him! I’ll have him talk or—” Roy, Boone stepped gladly toward ■ Melody, but Mormon Stocker swung Melody out of the way. “Stop it!” Stocker said.“Stocker, if you've gone soft—” “Soft hell! You ain’t getting no where! Cut out. this bashing his brains out. Git some wood in here. Build a fahr — a good hot fahr. Stretch his pants over it. Heat his spurs red hot, and we’ll write his name on him! He’ll talk—he’ll talk like—like—he’ll talk plenty,” he fin­ished. “Too slow,” Boone objected. “Try it,” Thingan decided. “Try it anyway.” Fear of defeat was riding him. “We got to take a chance on it. Git some wood in, Roy. A little otter do it.” For a moment Roddy Thingan sat on the edge of the shifting slab, a strange blank expression making his face sillier. Then the slab let go altogether, and thundered to the floor. The sheriff slid with it, sit­ ting down hard and suddenly at the base of the wall. He sat there idi­otically for a moment, his legs spread wide in front of him, one pants leg hitched up to his knee. He turned quite slowly, as his brain almost visibly began to move again. He sighted the black cavity the falling slab had revealed. In a curious, unhurried way, he craned his neck to look into it. Then suddenly he was scrambling frantically to get to his feet, his hands clawing at the wall to help himself up. His voice exploded in a bawl. “They’s a dead man in there!” A strangled grunt sounded in Mor­ mon Stocker’s throat as he dropped Melody and plunged toward the cache. The voice of Royal Boone rang out strong and crazy; he was already beside Sheriff Hiingan, crouched over the black hole in the adobe ledge. “It’s Luke Packer!” Cherry de Longpre snatched Mel­ ody by the- wrist so hard that she almost threw him, as he stood there gaping. She already had the door open. Somehow, with a surprising Melody spilled back against the wall, hard. use of her slight weight, she man-, aged to sling him through the door ahead of her. As he slowed up and caught his balance he could hear her furious whisper. “Run, run, you damn fool! Run or, I will kill you!” Melody Jones looked about him for Cherry, then, but . she wasn’t with him now. He hunted around for her, a little aimlessly, not daring to sing out; and he couldn’t find her. At first he couldn’t find the horses, either. He found a place he thought he had left them, but they weren’t there; and when he rec­ognized that he was in the wrong place he could no longer be sure what he had done with them. He whistled softly the call he used for Harry Henshaw. The gelding had never paid any attention to it before, but Melody hoped that this time he would at least paw or something, in this emergency. Instead, a soft answering whistle sounded in a different part of the scrub; and when he shook off the first fantastic impression that his horse had whistled back at him, he Imew that Cherry had answered him. He ran toward her, trotting stiflfly to keep his high heels from turning his ankles; but she didn’t whistle again, and he couldn’t find her. He did find the ponies, though. Monte’s carbine was still on his sad­ dle, so that he was armed again now, and mounted. He left two of the ponies tied there, and scouted aimlessly through the manzanita, wondering what was sensible. Far-off up the mountain, perhaps a mile and three furlongs away, a double pistol-shot sounded, as two guns fired almost together. Monte Jarrad sat well back in the shadows as George Fury walked into the ring of the firelight. Monte’s gun was in his right hand, where it rested-across'his knee.. Thegim was cocked, but it swung nose down, idly, not raised.Monte looked at George Fury in a puzzled way tinged with admira­ tion. This was mainly because he didh’t understand how George got here, let alone how he dared come here to begin with. “Who sent you?” he asked without expression. “I come on my own,” George said. “How’d you find this?”“It’s a reasonable question,” George admitted. “I figured you was up here,” George said, “because I figured it was your shot killed Luke Packer. So—” “Dead, is he?” “Plenty.”Monte Jarrad grunted noncommit- ally. “I already figured out you was wownded. So I knowed you wouldn’t travel fur. And I knowed you’d be cold, like any wownded man. So I look in the near places where a fire could be hid, and here you be.” “Smart—maybe,” Jarrad said. “Uh-huh. My name is George Fury.” “I know who you are. You’re the old buck that’s been palming him­ self off as my uncle.” “And you’re the cheap gun-fighter that has framed up a sap of a boy to take your medicine for you,” George said. Monte Jarrad looked him over with some puzzlement. George Fury did not look dangerous enough to face Monte Jarrad with a com­ ment like that. He wore one boot and one sock frazzled to the shape of a spat. He was hatless, and his thin hair was full of leaf-twigs, and other trash. His knees were muddy, and his shirt tom. “I don’t "look nothing like your half-wit uncle,” George said. “What do you want here?” Monte asked him now. The question car­ ried a strangely detached curiosity, as if Monte Jarrad had already de­ cided what disposition he was going to make of George. “I come here alone,” George be­ gan. “I know that. I been listening to you blundering around here for an hour. I could of picked you off any time, just as easy as now.” George reddened a little this time, but he let it pass. “The sheriff and some of his posse are already down there at your cache. That’s what that shooting was you heard.” Monte Jarrad’s eyes showed a sharpened flicker as George used the word “cache.” But he only said, “I figured that.” “They ain’t found your express box yet,” George went on. “When they do find it, they’ll find Luke Packer’s body. Because I loaded the corpus in there, on top of your dang box.” “How did you find it?” “The gal showed us.” Monte Jarrad watched him with amusement, and a faint admiration. “So they caught that there imita­ tion of me,” he said. “Seems like so,” George Fury ad­ mitted. “I thrashed around and tore some of ’em up, and come away. But Melody’s no way quick, in a thing like that. Not quick, and not lucky. He seems lucky, many a time, but he ain’t. So they still got him by the neck, I judge. In a littie while more they’ll find your dang cache, and when they do, they’ll find the corpus of Luke Pack­ er. About then, them Cotton friends of yours are due to show. So now they got Melody Jones four ways from tile ace; he ain’t got no more show than a one-laiged buck at a pants-kicking.” “You don’t mean to tell me,” Jar- rad said, greatly entertained. “Yes,” said George Fury. “And you took all this trouble, just to come up here and tell me this!” “I come here to make a reason­ able demand,” George said, biting off more jerky. "This here boy is only a boy, and he ain’t got the sense he was born with—that’s a liv­ing fact. He don’t know which is up, or what the score is, or what’s good for him. I’m the first to ad­ mit all that, and freely tell him to his face, for his own good. But leave me tell you one other thing.” “Make it short,” Jarrad said. He readjusted his position, moving carefully, as if his wound might be stiffening again. “There ain’t a mean hair in that boy’s head. He never done no harm to nobody in his life, nor thunk of any. He’s in this because of you, and because your gal hauled him into it, and made out she needed him to help her. You and her rigged up all this between you. So there ain’t but one right thing you can do, now. You got to whistle up your bullies, and go and get him out of this,” “This beats me,” Monte Jarrad said. His breathing was quickened and broken by a silent laughter.“Git to your feet," George said, chewing. Monte Jarrad stared up at. him, unbelieving; but the twisty laugh­ ter left his face as if he had been struck. “You heard right,” George Fury said. “I’m taking you down there, Monte.” Jarrad still stared at him, thun­ derstruck, unable to conceive of this.

Released by Western Newspaper Union* Lesson for July 15 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Rebgious Education: used by permission. GOD’S PURPOSE FOR ABRAHAM LESSON TEXT—Genesis 12:1-9. GOLDEN TEXT—In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.—Genesis 12:3. Separation, which means release from the influence of those things whibh hinder full development, is a blessing even though it may be dif­ ficult. God had a great purpose in mind for Abram, but to accomplish it He had to get him out of his own country, away from the downward pull of heathendom, and out into a new adventure of faith with Him. Down in the midst of those who worshiped the heavenly bodies was a man who had found that there was no satisfaction for his soul in such worship. He had found the true God, and was ready to re­ spond to His call. We find Abram I . Hearing God’s Call (w. 1-3). Men who have been used to ac­ complish great and good things in the world have, like Abraham, been willing to step out into the dark. They have not foreseen great­ ness nor even striven for it, but have gone out at God’s call, obeying Him day by day, and He has been re­ sponsible for the outworking of their destiny. How important it is to have the listening ear, and the obedient heart. He was attentive to God’s word, and willing to take Him at His word. Abram was strongly attached to his homeland. He was a man of such strength of character and obvious ability, that he undoubtedly held a place of real importance in his own country. To leave that and go out to an unknown destination (Heb. 11:8) called for real faith—and Abram had it! God had a purpose in calling him out—the establishment of a great na­ tion. Through Abram all the nations of the earth were to be blessed. That stupendous eventuality hung in the balance until he decided to obey God, and we are glad he did. When God takes anything from us, we can be sure that He is planning a greater blessing to take its place. Material loss often brings spiritual blessing. Separation from family may give a broader relationship to others. Sacrifice for the Lord’s serv­ ice brings hundredfold returns (Matt. 19:29). H. Responding to God’s Command (w . 4-6). As the Lord spoke, so Abram de­ parted. He was to be the channel of God’s blessing, and he put him­ self in God’s hand for His use. The lives of each of us may, in our own way, be the cfiWmels of God’s bless­ ings to those round about us; but only if we, like Abram, respond to His call. The migration of Abram from Chaldea to Canaan is one of the most important events in all history. It was one of the grand turning points in the story of the human race. The fact that Abram took with him his entire family into the prom­ ised land, reminds us that we are not to go alone into the Lord’s heav­ enly kingdom. We are to take'our families with us. Note also that Abram brought his substance, his riches, with him. That tells us anew that when a man comes into the household of God through Jesus Christ, he is to bring his purse with him. Consecrate your substance as. well as yourself and your service to God. The journey of Abram ended (v. 6) in what is said to be the most beautiful spot in all of Palestine— but even here difficulty faced him, for “the Canaanite was then in the land.”Even so, the Christian life is not one of ease and idleness, but of heroic endeavor and victory. The Promised Land is a type, not of heairen,, but of the Christian’s life and experience. We, too, find the Canaanite in the land. There is a constant struggle with the-world, the flesh and the devil; but there is victory in Christ. - In . Rdceivihg G6d’s Blessihg (vv. 7-9). :•■■• . ' God kept His, promise to Abram. True he did not see the entire ful­ fillment of it, but is that’necessary to. the man of faith?-God says it, we believe it; it becomes our pres­ ent possession by faith, though the enjoyment of it may be yet to come. Note that wherever Abram pitched his tent, he built an altar. He was not too hurried or busy to'remem* her God. We, too, are pilgrims and strangers in this world. Let us not fail to raise an altar to God. Wher­ ever we may be, let. us leave a tes­timony for Him. For such-a man, God could well have a high purpose. He was among that noble company who in all ages have "simply obeyed each day the divine orders which were given them, took each day the way of prayer, of righteousness, of duty; content if they had Ught enough for that and the next step, leaving to a higher will all that should come after. And God charged Himself with their destiny” (J. G. Green- hough). -• —«• - .... v I SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS - Shirtwaister With Cap Sleeves > .

LITTLE THINGS HAVE BIG POINT VALUE IN CANNING ST v* > Vi. ^ * *V XX* ^ - O , —Photo Courteqr Ball Brothers Co. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company and editor of the famous Blue Book of home canning recipes, recently expressed the opinion that m ost canning failures would be avoided if people could be m ade to understand that, in canning, little things have big pointy value. She also stated, “There is no short cut to successful home canning, but careful planning ahead of time , takes the drudgery out of the job. Care- i ful attention to reliable instructions ! at the time (of canning) puts success : into it.” Use Proven Quality Jar I Select any style jar you like but be j sure it is a home canning or “fruit jar” and that it is a nationally known . brand. There is no excuse for a slip­ up on this because the name of both jar and maker is moulded into the side i of all jars intended for home canning.. A sheet of instructions, telling how to ; use them, is packed with each dozen I jars. The instructions should be fol- i lowed. If this were not important, I there would be no instructions because ■ printing and putting them in the car- i tons cost the manufacturer a lot of money. Jars, caps, and lids which have been 1 used before should be examined care- fully for nicks and cracks, washed clean in warm, soapy water, rinsed, and then boiled twenty or more minutes 1 and kept hot until needed. And re­member, please, jars should be reqdy ' and waiting for the food which is to be ' canned. Never, never keep fruits and vegetables waiting for either jars or . canner because bacteria and other or­ganisms of spoilage overtake fruits and vegetables when there is an unneces­ sary delay anywhere between garden or orchard and canner. Vegetables may look fresh after a night out of the garden, but they no J______________Learns Fast By Neh« longer have strength to resist bacteria, yeasts and moulds which cause them to spoil. Fruit which is taken from the tree and permitted to' ripen In storage may keep but its flavor won’t be right Pears are an exception to this rule—they should be removed from the tree and ripened in a cool spot A countless number of apiicots and peaches have been wasted because home canners haven’t understood that such fruit must be tree ripened if it is to have a good flavor after canning.AU tree-grown fruit should be washed carefully through two waters before its skin is broken. If not washed off, chemicals used to keep insects away from (he froit may give an unnatural flavor to the canned product, a flavor which some persons have confused with that of rubber!! Boil Rubbers In SodaAnother UttIe point to remember] Some authorities advise Uiat wartime jar rubbers be boiled twenty minutes in a solution made by dissolving a heaping teaspoon of baking soda in a pint of water for each dozen rubbers to be treated. The rubbers should be rinsed weU before using. When asked about this, Miss Kimbrough stated that she had used no rubbers which needed such treatment, but that boiling in soda coidd do no harm and might do some good if the rubbers seem to have an unusual amount of odor. She cautioned againststretching rubbers to test them. This rule also applies to pre-war rub­bers. A is false economy to use any rubber more Sian once. T m q u it ti n g a f t e r THIS H.4ND.

JiH ttm tag Independence Arkansas and Mississippi both can have splendid public schools without accepting financial aid from any­ where. I am prepared to prove this statement with figures I presented early in May to the Education Com­ mittee of the House of Representa­ tives in Washington. Moreover, if these states can do well without help, any of Hie other states can do likewise. Federal aid is not needed anywhere. I have singled out Arkansas and Mississippi for good reason. It has bearing on the subject in hand. Measured by a money standard, these two states are lowest on the educational roster. Only one state has less income per person than Ar­ kansas, provides less school money per student and pays its teachers less; that’s Mississippi. These are our two low states in the respects named. There is a Reason Poor as these two states are on a basis of income per capita, each of them has more net worth than the federal government. Our national debt probably will reach 300 billion dollars before the war is over. Mississippi had a cash surplus of 11 million dollars last year and Arkansas accumulated 45 million during recent years. Arkansas schools are inadequate, due to poli­ tics, not poverty. What the school system in my home state needs is re-organizing, not subsidizing. For example: About a year ago Uiere were 106 school districts with assessed valuations below $10,000. Some districts could not raise $100 a year from local taxes. School districts varied in size from one square mile to 100 square miles. Why Squander Money? There is one community in Arkan­ sas which, although it has only 35 students all-told, is made up of six school districts and thus uses six busses to take the 35 students to school and back each day. Trans­ portation costs $600 a month when one bus might easily do the whole job at a cost of $150 a month. The saving of $450 would pay three teachers at the prevailing Arkansas scale. The problem is local and political. More money for such an inefficient operation probably would tend to ag­ gravate a bad situation and make it even harder to remedy. The feder­ al government -spent $80,000 for a WPA survey of Arkansas schools in 1937 and the analysis showed that the state could have a good school system for an outlay of 17 million dollars a year. The outlay was made promptly. Taxpayers Respond Arkansas’ income per person has more than doubled since 1939, due to new industries and new discoveries of oil and bauxite. More than 20 million dollars were spent for edu­ cation in Arkansas last year, and a . recent legislature raised that figure considerably for the next biennium. Already about 25% more money is being spent on Arkansas schools than the government-supported sur­ vey called adequate in 1937. This however is not enough. Ar­ kansas should have better schools; better financed. Arkansas teachers should be better paid, probably the salary scale ought to be doubled. I’m for it when the system is re-organ­ ized and made efficient, but I op­pose federal aid. Easy money would sacrifice state sovereignty on the al­ tar of politics when we are able, really, to increase our school reve­ nue as soon and as fast as condi­ tions justify.

Just beyond the sidewalk, through a big, open door, a blacksmith was Mtaping shoes for a farmer's heavy team. Horns behind me suggested moving along before I had finished looking, but it was an inspiration to watch this workman, so skillful and ener­ getic. Moving-picture blacksmiths are . elderly gentlemen with droopy mus­ taches, but not this man. He was about 30, clean shaven and active. The tempo of his hammer was live­ ly. The hopeful picture he unwit­ tingly posed of post-war America has come to mind several times since. More recently I Iwve been listen- iing to men discuss post-war plans ■thai involved moulding public opin­ ion. Fabricating Sentiment “Knowledge is Power.” The words are supposed to have flowed from the pen of Francis Bacon about 300 years ago, but I think Bacon lifted this choice bit of wisdom from Solo­ mon: Proverbs 24-5. It has stood the test of time. Popular sentiment can be moulded. No informed per­ son will deny it. Hitler did it. Na­ tional leaders do it all the time, consciously or unconsciously, for better or for worse. For eleven years in China I watched selfish local war lords ex­ ercise their power over a patient, toiling peasantry. It could be done easily where the great mass of the people were unlearned, as in China, where 80% could neither read nor write. Unlearned masses sometimes rebel, but they usually fail because the CnerKr they exertls not power; only ill-directed force. Common Sense iff Most For 156 years the United States, has prospered and grown as a re­public. This is superior to a democ­ racy in that it provides for the safe­ ty and protection of minorities. A democracy places the minority at the mercy of the majority, some­ times just as heartlessly as a dic­ tatorship. That is why minorities have retained freedom in Amer­ ica; why each individual is still free to think for himself. It is impossible to get a comer on a nation’s ideas. Every man and woman has a brain and there is only one way to keep them from utilizing these assets to enrich them­ selves and the whole race, namely, keep ’em ignorant The American way is the other way: schooling is free; libraries are everywhere; press and radio prosper keeping people informed. Our people have knowledge and our nation has power.An Offensive Figure A country, whose leaders want the benefit of the best thinking of the whole nation, is on its way up. A nation that confines its thinking and planning to boards and bureaus is on its way down. Central planners rea­ son thus: “The blacksmith has a head on him, but so does his ham­ mer. Why bother about either? We will do the thinking and the plan­ ning.” Germany planned for the whole of her people, but her wages were only half as high as American wages in 1939. Russia does governmental' planning for all of her people. Wages there were about one-sixth of Amer­ ican wages in 1939. I am for keep­ ing our Republic, for drawing on the intelligence of our entire population and for keeping a well and correctly informed public. “Knowledge is' .Power.''

Isenhour. Hiddeoite. N. C. In these days of indifference, luke­ warmness, carelessness, worldliness, greed, modernism, pride, hatred, warfare and bloodshed, it means much indeed to stay on fire for God. In order to stem the tide of all evil, sin and wickedness, and to live in vital touch with God daily, and have His blessings upon our lives and souls continua'ly, we must pray much, stay humble, be patient, keep sweet, set our affections on things above, walk with Christ and live within the will of our heavenly Fath er. Thie is possible, by the marve* Ioub graee of our blessed Lord and Saviour JesUB Christ. Let the re­ deemed of tbe Lord prasse Him con­ tinually. Surely we are living in days simi­ lar to those that preceded the flood. Jesus said it would be like the days of Noe when He comes again. Lie* ten to His own words: “But as the days of Noe were, so shall alBo tbe coming of the Son of man be. For as in tbe days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered the ark and knew not until tbe flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” It seems that in Noe’s day tbe peo* pie were eating, drinking, marrying, living in luxury, committing adultry, disobeying God and going into all manner of sin and wickedness. “And God saw that tbe wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that ev­ ery imagination of the thoughts of bis heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he made man on the earth, and it grie­ ved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I win destroy man whom I have created from Ihe face of the earth; both mau and beast, and tbe creep­ ing thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I bave made them. Mut Noe found grace or fa* vor. mercy, in the eyes of the Lord. Noah was a just man and perfect ik his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Just how much more wicked the world will Lave to becomr before it is like it was in the davs of Noe we are not able to say. but surely it is much the same now. Never have we seen so much eating, drinking, mar. rying. divorcing, committing adul* try, disobedience toward God, hat­ red, drunkenness, and so on. as we see today. Menspend their money for all kinds of pleasures. Bin and wickedness. They have forsakeu the cburch the Sunday school, prayer meeting, the revival, and have turn­ ed unto amusements pleasures and luxuries. They flock to the wicked, ungodly movies by multiplied mil- lions, feeding their minds and hearts on the vilest scenes and most wicked pictures the actors and actresses can put on. Millions are drinking beer, liquor and wine, getting drunk, cur* •■ing; swearing, committing crime and serving the devil on a very large scale. Facts are facts. This cannot be denied. Tens of thousands of those who are dogng these things are members of churches many of whom claim to be Christians. It is alarm- ing. Then when a man of God prea­ ches the truth to multitudes of them denouncing their ungodliness and wickednesB, and holding up a stand* ard of salvation that will do to live Ky and die bv. they fight, criticize and opoose him, refuse to support him, and desire to put him down. They fight holiness more bitterly than open, frank sinners who do not ciaim anything but to be serving the devil, Today the real, true, sanctified Christian findB all the demon forces of hell turned Ioast against him. The devil is doing hiB utmost agahmt Christianity. Even this horrible war is one mighty, mighty blow toward Christianity. It has come aa a result of turning away from Go I, the Bi­ ble. the chureh of the living God. and turning unto all kinds of sin and wickadness. Out of the millions of wicked people rise up leaders . that are no better, and they go forth in their own wickedness to direct men and nations, leaving God out. But it is wonderful indeed to know that God aiill Las snpreme power, and that He will be witb His dear child­ ren. followers, prophets, ministers and servants. Even though He al­ lows us to be sorely tenanted, tested and tried of the devil and the demon forces of hell, vet He will be with us to strengthen, sustain and uphold us. He never, never leaves nor for- saaes His saints. Though all hell en­deavors to Bhake us, put us down and defeat us, yet God takes care of His ownwhoprav much, hold to His unchanging hand, love, serve, truly worship and sincerely obey Him. Jones Favors Military Training John R. Jones, prominent North Wilkesboro attorney, and for many years Republican solicitor of this district. Is strongly in favor of mil­ itary training. Mr. Jones sent us the following letter, written in re­ ply to an editorial appearing in the Statesville Landmark: "Your editorial taken from the Statesville Landmark of June 20 . with reference to military prepara­ tion certainly misses the mark. The position of our Acting Sec­ retary of tbe State Joseph C. Grew, should meet witb tbe approval of bII well thinking American dtl zens. Tbe preparedness of Russia, Poland, France and other countries is in no way analogous to America. The training of our young men from 17 to 20 years of age will not only guarantee peace by reason of a superb army and navy, but it will give the youth of America tbe great educational advantages as well as proper discipline. When the editor of the Land, mark wrote this article he undoubt­ edly was thinking of the youth of this country receiving military trai­ ning only, but great men of thought are thinking not only of prepared- ness, but they are thinking of the hundreds of other advantages that will come to our people by thor­ ough educational advantages. The training they will receive would prepare our young men for greater usefulness. There is scarcely a pro. fession or calling known to Ameri- can life that will be overlooked. It would be ideal training for our youth at a time when most needed. Tbe disastrous effect of ignor­ ance, lack of discipline and home training of young boys from 16 to 19 years of age is appalling, Crime is costing America 15 billion dot. Iats annually. Ninety five per cent of the youth that is on chain gangs and in the penitentiaries come from the want of proper discipline and educational training. Can tbe edi. tor of the Landmark doubt that America is facing ruin as a foun. dation of morality and tbe proper home training? The men who advocate military preparedness bave something more in contemplation than training our young men bow to drill, carry a gun, goose step or explode a can- non or salute the captains; they are thinking of a nation of highly trained boys witb good bodies and trained minds, capable of not only serving their country in the- hour ot peril, but making useful citizens. We know the American home is still the basis of our social order, but when we recognize that 95 per cent of our juvenile criminals have in common no proper home train, ing it is different Eighteen year olds furnish the majority of tbe number of criminals Youth under 21 years arrested skows 41 per cent increase in 1944 of drunkenness, vagrancy, disorderly conduct among our young people is growing over 89 per cent annually. Now let us compare the criminal record with the young men who enter oui Government military a- cndemies or military schools and other army training centers in nor mal times. In these institutions crime among the young men is less than I per cent and they not only are obedient to tbe civil law, but they must obey military regulations. Wben Mr. Grew wrote bis much criticized article be had in . mind not only preparedness for America, but he was thinking of millions of young men who would come out of the service well developed physi­ cally, mentally and morally. He was thinking of giving an oppor­ tunity to millions of men, bigger and finer advantages of going fur­ ther iu quest of intellectual, moral and spiritual developments. One of the great draw-backs to carrying on t be present wor has been ignorance, bad moral and phy­ sical handicaps. Thousands of our boys were rejected because of ig- norance, minor physical defects or criminal records. Lessthan so per cent of our young men in North Carolina will ever complete high school and less than 10 per cent will ever graduate trom an accredited college. No wonder “crime stalks aboard in the noonday’s tide and tbe sound of the revolver is more frequent than the song of a mocking bird.” The good people of America should not only demand military training in its broadest sense, but they should demand with unitod voices tnat the national government become I "bampion of good morals, strict discipline and better training for our boys. The worthy editor ef the States­ ville Landmark overlooked two things in his editorial. First: military preparedness will mean that no nation would figbt America with her well-trained army plus her natural resources, het gi gantic enterprises and readiness in an hour ef peril. Second, our young men will be trained, disciplined and educated and crime would be materially de* creased. We have spent billions , building a great army, navy and air corps. Shall ali our money, efforts and sa crifices be wasted to satisfy the whims of a few pacifists and poll, ticians? When Pearl Harbor wus blown up we were hopelessly unprepared No one knew any better than Ja­ pan and Germany of our fearful conditions. Thousands of boys have been killed and wounded all because of our indolence. Shall we as intelligent Americans do away with our army, navy and air corps and leave our shores and posseS sions open to tbe ravages of any nation who might attack us? Shall we wait until we are threatened by another war to begin preparing all over again? Now is the accepted time while we have a vast amount of equipment and when the cost will be comparatively negligible. The editor of the Landmark says when tbe war ends we will have twelve or fourteen million men trained for military duty. Heovet- looks that a great many of these men will soon be too old for mili­ tary duty; he overlooks that thous ands of these men are now wound ed and unable to participate in fur­ ther actual military duty; and that thousands were rushed into mili tary duty without proper training and many of our boys sleep in for. eign soil, all because of our unpre. paradness. He talks about peace. There can be no peace as long as we continue to sob, wail and moan over the cost of a nation’s prepar- eduess. “ Why lock tbe stable af ter tbe horse is stoleo?” Why quibble over the cost of ore. paredness when we are wasting rnouey bv tbe millions, not to build good morals, but to destroy. We are now spending $54 00 annually for alcoholic beverages for each man, woman and child in America We have two saloons for evety church and five for every public school. We bave the highest drank, enness rale in the world and in tbe midst of war and scarcity we hand over to the brewers 2,275,000,000 pounds of sugar and syrup in year. Who is it that is destroying tbe morai and economic life of A- merica? What is the cause of the enormous amount America is pac­ ing for crime? Is It tbe lack of moral training and the proper dis, cipline ot American youth. You may aay our boys will not get the proper training in our army and navy. It certainly cannot be any worse than what we have now. The training of our young boys would come at a period of life when most needed. They would acquire discipline, education, physical cul ture, manly bearing and tbe fine characteristics that make good cl- tizens. Tf we are to remain the land of the free and the home of the brave, then let us ponder these things and look well to the youth of our coun­ try for in them depend the future greatness of America ” Go Plow Corn A. J. Crater, Albemarle. Once upon a time there was a man whe claimed be was called te preach. He had been dreaming dreams and seeing visions So he know a good old farmer in the community and be went to him and told bim of his bur* dens. “I am called to preach, for every time I go to bed at nigbt I c«n see in great big Iettrs G. P. G , and my interpretation is ‘Go preach Christ.’ Now just what do you think?” The old farmer scratched his bead and said. ” 1 think the cor­ rect interpretation for G.P.C would be. ‘Go Pl iw Corn.’ ” If some of the so-called ministers were plowing corn it would be a great blessing to America. Then the little man that really possesses the spirit of Christ would have a chance. Tell me some of Christ’s disciples that drew a $40,000 salary? Wbat was Paul's salary? God save the State. ______________ To Wives and Parents of Soldiers If you are sending The Re* cord Io your husband or son who is in the armed forces, please see that his subscrip­ tion is paid in advance.

The **60 Million” Myth Since Mr. Roosevelt passed a- wav and Henry Agar Wallace has been shoved into the comparative seclusion of the Department of CommerLe 1 the country has heard a great deal less talk about 60 mil. lion jobs, comments th e Fort Wayne, Ind., News-Sentinel. America’s labor does not n o w and never has, approached 60 mil­ lion, so if, by some legerdemain the planters could create that many jobs, they would be faced with a labor shortage, with something like io'to 15 million jobs going begging for want of someone to fill them. In 1940 , aiter the war boom had started in tbis country, and every, one who really wanted a job had one, there were 45 million persons gainfully employed. This was not enough to fill tbe gap and employers started beating the bushes witb the result that they seated up another six million kids old men and women, cripples, blind and others who would normally be considered unemployable and who, for all that, were not even desirous of working. So that, today, with the boom at full tilt, only 51 million persons in tbe United States are gainfully em­ ployed. Wben the war in tbe Pacific ends, and tbe nation’, industrial economy begins to find a more normal level, it is certain that a few million elder­ ly persons will return to retirement. A greater number of wires will quit. working and start housekeeping, as soon as tbelr husbands or prospec­ tive bnsbands return from the ser­ vice. Another considerable number of boys and young men will return to coltege. Nor will all returning servicemen and women go directly into 0 . repe­ tition in tbe labor market. Some of the women will marry i> id start families. Some of the younger men will return to their studies which were interrupted by tbe war. Many of the officers will go into retirement; some officers and some enlisted men will remain in tbe army and navy, to make a career of tbe services. The outlook, then, is for a total lab&r force of something like 45 to 50 million persons—not 60 million. —Ex ______________ Cash In Advance Shapely Showgirl: I want you to vaccinate me where it wont show.” Doctor: Okay!

Preserves Bring Bright Cheer for W inter(See Becipes Below) Let’s Preserve Wise are the women who gather their fruits and vegetables and plan ahead for winter months when food is scarce. Imagine, if you can, the thrill of knowing that your can­ ning cupboard holds within it the provision for several hundred meals, all the result of your own work. Last winter the women who put up pickles and preserves blessed the providence that caused them to do it. For pre­ serves often made up for the plain­ ness of the meat dish, pickles gave a flavor touch when menu vari­ ety was at a low ebb, and chili sauce went into hun­ dreds of meat dishes which other­ wise might have lacked for flavor. Preserves may be served with meats, fowl or plain bread. Try to ,gauge how much sugar you will have and allot only a portion of that for preserves this summer as you will want to use much of the canning sugar for whole fruit. To be at their best, preserves must be cooked in small batches, anyway in fairly wide pans. There is no need for skimming preserves if they are left in the pans for five minutes after cooking time is fin­ ished. In warm climates where storage is difficult, they are best when processed in a water bath at sim­ mering temperature for 20 minutes. This mil help prevent mold. Tomato Preserves. Z pounds tomatoes 4 cups sugar IH cups water I lemon 1 stick cinnamon 2 pieces ginger root, if desired Use small, firm red, yellow or green tomatoes. Scald one minute. Dip into cold water. Skin but do not core. Combine sugar, water, lemon (sliced thin), cinnamon and ginger and simmer for 20 minutes. Add tomatoes and boil gently until they are bright and clear. Cover and let stand overnight. Pack cold toma­ toes into sterile jars. Boil syrup as thick as honey and pour over toma­ toes. Process in water bath for 15 minutes. Apricot Preserves. Z pounds apricots 314 cups sugar or com syrup Wash, peel and halve firm, ripe apricots. Combine fruit and sugar in alternate layers. Let stand several hours or overnight. Heat slowly un­ til sugar dissolves, then boil rapid­ ly until fruit is clear. Let stand sev­ eral horns. Pack cold fruit into ster­ ile jars. Reheat syrup, boiling it I CourAHri CnM 1RnUt 4.

If you prefer a meaty flavor, add I cup sauteed chicken liver and top with several slices of cooked bacon. Fish is delicious with the egg combination. You might try % cup flaked fish, or Vi cup of any of the following: flaked lobster, shrimp, or crabmeat. Vegetables add eye-appealing goodness to a golden fluffy mix­ ture of scrambled eggs: 3 table­ spoons minced parsley and chives; Vi cup chopped or cooked tomatoes, in which case omit the milk from the mixture; Vi cup chopped, cooked mushrooms.

Pour hot syrup over fruit and seal at once. Clfili sauce does not require much sugar and is very good when made with the combination of spices given in the following directions: ChiIi Sauce. 1 gallon tomatoes Z cups onions 2 cups sweet red peppers I pod hot red pepper I cup sughr 3 tablespoons salt I tablespoon mustard seed I tablespoon celery seed 3 tablespoons mixed spices VA cups vinegar Skin tomatoes before chopping. Chop all vegetables before measur­ ing. Tie spices in a mixed bag. Mix all ingredients ex­ cept spice bag and vinegar. Add spice bag after mixture has boiled. for 30 m inutes. Cook until very thick, then add vinegar and boil until there seems to be no more free liquid. Taste and add more seasoning if necessary. Pour while hot into hot, sterile jars and seal according to manufacturer’s direc­ tions. There are a number of other foods which you may not have preserved in other years that would now come in handy. First of all, you may want some lovely garden or orchard fresh fruit juices. For these you will need one cup sugar to the gallon with additional sweetening when served: Canning Berry Juices. Blackberries, blueberries, logan­ berries, raspberries, etc., may be used. Wash, crush and simmer juices until soft. Strain through sev­ eral layers of cheesecloth. Add one cup sugar to each gallon of juice. Reheat to simmering and pour into hot, sterile jars. Process for 30 minutes in hot water bath at sim­ mering temperature (180 degrees). It’s good to have tomato sauce handy for those meat and vegetable dishes throughout the winter. Canned? Of course: Canned Tomato Sauce. Mix 3 quarts chopped tomatoes, I quart sliced onions, I pint chopped green peppers, I tablespoon chopped parsley, salt to taste and a pod of hot red pepper. Cook slowly until thick. Then pour into sterile jars and process in a pressure cooker at 10 pounds for 35 minutes or 2 hours in a boiling water bath.

Summer and Fall Garden Notes By George B. Hobson As long Jas the war lasts, . there is a reason to expeet increased de­mand for food. There is still time to grow many vegetables in our gardens, including, b ean s, lima beans, corn, tomatoes, beets a n d carrots. In August don’t fotget the turnips, rutabagas, rape. Siberian kale and mustard. Collard seed can be planted thinly in the row. and then thin later to greens We should remember to get tender leafy vege­ table of any kind it is necessaav to grow them quickly, therefore, the fertilizer used must be high in nit­ rogen Poultry manure and Nit­ rate of Soda are excellens sou-ces of nitrogen t» use as a side dressing after the plants come up. Don’t neglect the strawberry patch Don’t et the weeds and grass choke out the plants. The plants should fertilized this fall in order to get n good development of fruit buds for the 1944 berries. Tbe size of the crop next year depends upon the vigor of. the plants during the fall and winter. Bordeau mixture used according to the manufacturer’s directions on ti.e package will help keep the grapes from rotting. Davie Boy in Philippines Pvt. James F. Koontz, who has been stationed at Camp Wheeler, Ga., is spending a| 13 -day furlough with his parents on R. 2. James will report to Ft. Meade, Md , at the end of his furlough.

Wounded Sailors Will Swim Back to Health jthi (w e iNO MORE SISTER SUSIE’S SOCKS Civilian consumers will benefit in e postwar period for a number of artime discoveries by army chem­ ists and researchers. Not only will they have synthetic soups and self- heating cocoa to use on camping trips, but they will find that they can purchase such things as shrink- proof woolen socks. The days when “the socks of sisters raised the blooming blisters have been ban­ ished fqrever in the army. AJl army socks are now shrink-proofed, and efforts are being made to apply the same treatment to all types of wool cloth. A new synthetic cloth has also been developed which can be rolled up into a ball and will rebound from a wall with the force of a rubber ball. If allowed to remain on a level surface for a quarter of an hour, however, the material will flatten out completely. The fiber wears extremely well, but the dif­ ficulty still to be worked out is that it will not stand more than 15 to 20 launderings.... CAPITAL CHAFF Cln view of the lumber shortage and the terrific wartime destruc­ tion of forests in the South and Northwest, a drive has started for a renewal of the Civilian Conserva­ tion corps after the war. This may be the answer to conscription. * * * CWhile old-fashioned brass hats talk about a big land army after the war, General Bayerlein, command er of the Panzer Lehr division, now a prisoner, has given some inter­ esting information to U. S. officers abroad. He reports that if the U. S. army had stepped up tactical air warfare last August, after our breakthrough into France, we could have won the war sooner. At that time, U. S. planes were bombing German factories but not concen­ trating heavily on tactical bombing —in other words bombing of enemy troops. . . . Wonder what the effect would be if the new goop bomb, which spreads unquenchable fire in every direction, were dropped wholesale on' Jap troops in action? • * * V. S. and Franco’s Radio Top officials of OWI are seriously considering using the American tax­ payers’ money to buy time on Fran­ co’s Spanish radio network. Up until recently, OWI was broad­ casting over the Rabat, North Afri­ can, station, which is French, in order to reach the Spanish people. According to OWI executive Thur­ man Barnard, “several programs a day carrying the American story are broadcast to the Spanish peo­ ple.” But despite the recent action of the San Francisco conference in flat­ ly vetoing the admission of Fascist Spain into the United Nations, OWI is considering a radio hookup over Franco’s government-owned net. work.... BOOST IN COFFEE PRICES? A debate has been raging inside the governmept over the price of coffee, which: this time may be boosted. Chief problem is that Brazil, our biggest coffee shipper and our best friend in Latin America, is finding it so uneconomical to grow coffee that she is turning to cotton. In that case she would be our chief compet­ itor instead of our chief customer. Labor costs in Brazil have risen to such an extent that Brazilian cof­ fee growers can’t produce at the OPA ceiling price which averages around 13 cents a pound. They want the price boosted to an average of 18 cents a pound. This would in­ crease the cost of a cup of coffee one-eighth of a cent. The state department favors such a price rise. The OPA, anxious to hold the line, is opposed. • • • MERRY-GO-ROUND C Senator Carl Hatch of New Mex­ ico has been sitting on the anti-poll tax bill until the San Francisco Unit­ ed Nations charter is out of the way. He does not want a poll-tax filibuster to upset ratification of the charter. CForthright Fred Vinson, the war mobilizer, is going to be put on the spot soon by the Surplus War Prop­erty board. It is about to hatch a ruling whereby 11 billion dollars of government-owned war plants and machinery would be sold mere­ ly on the basis of price, not on the basis of where they could stimulate business .and competition. . . . If the Surplus board has its way, war plants, machinery, etc., will go to the DuPonts, GenWal Motors, Ford, and others with the most cash to buy them. C Unsung heroes of the airplane carrier Franklin’s rescue were Capt. John Gingrich, skipper of the cruiser Pittsburgh, and his execu­ tive officer, Ed Rivers. Capt. Leslie Gehres of the Franklin ex­ pressed astonishment .that the Pitts­ burgh' kept its toWlinti ron the burn­ ing airplane carrier with Jap sui­ cides hitting at both. . . . The an- sw ar is that for over 37 hours; Ging­ rich remained on the bridge, with Rivers assigned to. the fantail to watch the towlinei Neither had a moment’s sleep during those 37 hours. o r YG A /W LA N D fi/C E Seaman 1/c Joe Panza of Saratoga, N.

New York Farm Boy Instead of dodging a shorting automobile in the streets of his home city,' New fork, this; school boy from the sidewalks of Gotham proves he enjoys running the tractor to aid war. SEVERAL old-time ball players have suggested that'the-public at large should not judge Hank Greenberg in the same light as some of the other ex-servicemen who have returned to make good. Two of those mentioned were Fer- riss and Benton. “Remember,” one of these said, Ferriss and-Benton had a. chance ... to play a lot of baseball before they were released from service. Any num­ ber. of star ball players have been playirig on army or H > navy iteaihs. But Greenbergr ,h a s played .practically no baseball for over four years. That’s a long gap. I recall that old P e t e Alexander came back from the A.E.F. to keep on going at a winning clip, bxit old Pete was only out of the game a year or less. It will be remarkable if Hank can start hitting home runs right away. Even close to his old form he could murder a lot of these pitchers now around, but it will take time.” This brings up the old argument again regarding Joe Louis. Joe has been away over three years. But after an he'has had'the chance to box in a long, list of exhibitions for various camps .and, hospitals. This isn’t the same as actual ring fighting, but at least it has given the heavyweight champion a chance to keep his hand in. The same is true of Billy Conn. They probably won’t be what they used to be—but they can still get back into pretty fair boxing and punching form, if they happen to get out before too long. With the heavy play both army and navy are now making on the side of sport for servicemen in Eu­ rope and the Pacific, their chances for any sudden exit are none too warm. Army and navy have made plans to get all the coaches and trainers they can collect and to build up as many-all-star contests as they can find—especially in the way of box­ ing, baseball and football. These are the three top sports that carry the leading soldier and sailor ap­ peal, although basketball also has a terrific call. L o u is a n d C o n n I asked Jimmy Johnston, sage of the leather district, how he figured Louis and Conn would go after re­turning to the ring. “First of all,” he said, "just tell me when they are going to get out. That’s important. If it takes much longer I’d say some tough young heavyweight soldier will come along who won’t be afraid to tear in and punch. He will also be younger and tougher. No, I don’t know who he will be. But with all the boxing training hundreds of thousands of these kids have had, a few of them are sure to learn a lot and to have what it takes.” “Just what does it take?” I asked. “Very simple,” the sage said. "To know how to box, to know how to punch, to be able to take a punch. Tou see thousands of kids who might have been good' fighters never had a chance to get any instruction before. They never had a chance to do any boxing. The big majority had no chance to be a champion, anyway. But there must be many others who are sure to move far up. This goes for every class. Some of our best ring fighters have been teaching thousands of these younger men. It is for this reason that I think we’ll get most of our ring champions out of this group.” In this connection a friend of Joe Louis tells me that the heavyweight leader now has his golf game down into the low 70s and expects to hold a big July tournament over one of Detroit’s municipal courses. It is much easier to get Louis to talk about golf and the golf swing than it is to lure many words from him about boxing or the heavyweight championship. Also, Bowman Milligan, manager of Beau Jack, reports that while the lightweight’s knee is still bother­ing him, he is winning camp fights by quick knockouts. Beau Jack’s present weight is over 145 pounds so he will have his share of trouble training himself back into the lightweight division. But it won’t be any great trouble in most' cases to remove surplus flesh. The big gamble will be what the returning veteran can do with the flesh, bone and sinew he has left, once he is down to weight. And there will be a flock of different an­swers to this problem. A l B e n to n ’s C ase There is, for instance, the case of Al Benton of the Tigers. Al is 6 feet 4, 238 pounds, age 32. He served two years in the navy. Many people will refer to his record as proof that service in the armed forces does not affect a player’s ability, but Benton spent all his time at Norman, Okla., had the position of athletic director, land about all he did was pitch. He had time to improve his curve ball and hist slider; his main, pitch today is thi& slider in fact u. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT AUTOS, TRUCKS & ACCESS. F O R G E T GAS W O R R IES!

Igratefni people the Iu r neighbor! * THE STORT THUS FAR: Melody Jones and George Fnry Iiad ridden into Payneville, Melody mistaken IOr the out- law, Monte Jarrad. Monte's girl, Cher, ry, with George, met Lee, Monte’s pard* aer, as he and Melody were leaning the city. They overpowered Lee and went to the shack where Monte hid the express money. LnLe Packer, the Insurance cop, was there and shot by someone outside. When Melody returned with the horses they found the sheriff In the cabin but the body gone. Hiey soon found the money Md In wall with the body of Luke. At this point Melody and Cherry were ... able.to make a break and get away. Fury . had met np with Monte. He was de* ' termined to take Monte Into town. CHAPTER XV AU expression had left Monte Jar­ rad’s face, except for a dear bright­ ness in his eyes, as in the eyes of a ' lynx. “Crazy," he murmured, as if talking to himself. He fired, then. He hardly seemed to go through the motions of a draw at aU, the weapon came so smoothly .from the tied-down holster at his thigh. AU George Pury ever saw was a general galvanizing jerk of Monte Jarrad’s whole frame, and instantly the gun blasted in Monte’s hand, as if it had been there aU the time. George Fury doubled and pitched forward as if he had been struck in the middle by a swinging log. His gun, which he'had somehow grabbed out of its leather, fired only a bare instant after Jarrad’s weapon; but it exploded downward, blowing half of the Uttle campfire away; and the recoU almost tore it out of George Fury’s slackened hand. Monte Jarrad reclined motionless, his face impassive, but his eyes awake, watching the man who was down. His gun was cocked and steady. After a moment or two he : noticed that George Fury’s right hand half covered a Uving coal from the Uttle fire, but did not draw away. When he saw this, Jarrad let the hammer down, easing it gently. Morning was leaking out of the far-off Dragonette ranges as Melody . Jones drew near the ramshackle ranch house of the Busted Nose. First a duU green Ulumination ap­ peared in the eastern sky, without : in any way Ughting the soot-black traU; and as this appeared the red- poppers began to go “zeep” in the brush. After a time this first effort - withdrew, so that the night seemed blacker than before; but a muddy grayness was beginning to pervade Uie ranges, as if seeping up out of the ground. By the time this had increased to full dawn, Melody was sitting his pony behind a stand of locust, watching the ranch house from a respectful distance of more than four hundred yards. So far as he could find out he was alone in the world entirely. Even the bear cub had been turned loose, or had worked its way free, from its chain beside the broken screen door. As Melody prospected closer, a late-ranging armadillo trundled around the comer of the house, and disappeared without hurry. Melody was satisfied with that. The animal would have known, better than he could, if anyone were around. He rode to the back stoop of the house without further caution. After that he walked a little way out from the house, to get away from the sound of the pony’s munch­ ing, and listened a while longer, very lonely in the dawn; and then made a fire in the stove, with more than necessary thuds and bangs, to be rid of the insufferable quiet. A hot smell of coffee, smelling ten times better than it would ever taste, began floating down-wind from the Busted Nose. Melody rummaged for something to eat which would take no work to fix. His back was to the door, and his hands were pawing over a shelf of canned goods, when the kitchen darkened faintly. His hands faltered, but only for an instant. He went on with what he was doing without looking around, stalling over the labels. Somebody was standing in the doorway. He knew that much, though he had heard no approach. Melody’s right hand weighed a can of tomatoes, testing it as a weapon. But he set it down. Melody turned slowly, empty handed; and, for the first time in his life, faced Monte Jarrad. “Hi,” Melody said. The man in the doorway grunted.Even if the light had been bet­ ter, instead of directly behind Jar­ rad, Melody might not have recog­ nized him yet. “Looking for somebody?” Melody asked this stranger. Monte Jarrad took in the whole lay-out coolly, the room first, then Melody .Jones. Melody saw him no­ tice where the carbine was. “Just passing by,” Jarrad said, watching Jones oddly. His voice had a soft lack of tone to it, very unsettling. “You don’t need to be so edgy,” Melody said. “We don’t ask no questions here. Want some coffee?” “I’ll get it myself . . . Don’t go over there. Don’t go any place. Stay against that wall. Back up against it a litle closer.” He gave these orders casually, not even both­ ering to look closely at Melody. His eyes kept wandering around .the room, checking, and checking, and re-checking. “Now you- looky here I.” Meloiiy began i* * - *,s,t _ ■ - _ si..w U SE L E SS COWBOY rFALAN Le MAY «•W.N.U. SERVICt “Want to play like you don’t know me, huh?” Jarrad commented, his eyes still wandering. "I never seen you before in my born days.”Jarrad’s gaze stopped wandering. “Nor heard of me, neither, I sup­ pose." "I can’t keep knowledge of every grub-testing punk that—” He stopped short. “What’s the matter?” Jarrad asked sardonically. Melody looked puzzled. “It come to me for a minute that you might be Monte Jarrad. But you ain’t.” “No?” “No. This Jarrad weasel looks somethin’ like I do—it fools people even.” “It’s a hard thing to say about a man.” “Whut?” “When I think of being mistooken for the kind of chuckle-head that you look like to me—it’s enough to turn a feller sick.” Melody looked at him with pity. “Don’t let it worry you,” he said. “Nobody ever mistook me for no such limping wreck as you be. It’s small wonder you got strucken by lightning, or something, the manners you got. And here’s another thing—” “Well, I’ll be damned,” said Jar­ rad. “And here’s another thing. Keep on like you’re haiding, and you’ll think lightning hit you again!” The two looked at each other strangely across the kitchen table. “A feller never knows,” Monte Jarrad said obscurely, as if to him- George Fury doubled and pitched forward. self. “Don’t make much difference, in the long run, I reckon . . . Stand closer to the wall. I don’t figure I got much better than an hour here.” “So you’re him,” Melody said, as if he couldn’t believe it. He stood staring idiotically, as people look at some great mysterious phenomenon .they have heard about aU their lives.. “It’s a hell of a disappointment,” he said at last. “Take off your boots,” Jarrad or­ dered. Slowly Melody unbuckled his spur straps. “It beats me,” he said, “what she sees in you, Jarrad.” “I’ll take your belt; and your hat; and whatever trash is in them pock­ ets. I suppose that bone pile out there with my saddle on it—you call that your horse . . .” “And that carbine you slung out in the dirt was your carbine!” “You can have it now. We’ll get your own saddle on that old hide. You can have mine.” “This won’t do you no good,” Mel­ ody told him. “Even if we swap every stitch we own, there still won’t be any scar on my bean.” “No,” Monte admitted. “No; there never will be. But I suppose there can still be the place where one was . . .” When the meaning of this soaked in on Melody he studied Monte Jar­ rad for a long time. “You got clam­ my idees,” he said at last, without much assurance. “I’d rather be daid than in your place.” “You can have both,” Jarrad said. Jones obeyed as Monte Jarrad swapped boots, hat and equipment with him; and finally switched his own old worn hull to Harry Hen- shaw. After that was done Melody was kept standing against the wall of the kitchen while Jarrad, one- handed, dranl^his coffee. There was still something Monte wanted to know; but he didn’t know how to get at it. Some very peculiar things were running in Melody’s mind just then. He knew he was going to make some kind of a play; and he knew it wasn’t going to be any good. He en­ tirely believed what Monte had said —that he might knock -Monte out, but not fast enough so that Monte’s gun wouldn’t get him. “Where did she say you was from?” Monte asked him. “Montana. A place called Two Lance. But that ain’t what you want to know.” Monte came out with it then.- “What was going on,” he asked, “the night you was in Cherry’s room?” “Which night you mean?” “Which?” “Oh, you mean that one? Noth­ ing. Nothing then.” Jarrad’s eyes looked as If they could eat through a horse blanket. “Just what the hell do you mean by ‘then?’ ” “Maybe you got me over a bar’l. But you ain’t going to forget me, what short time you live. Because that girl ain’t yours no more, and never will be again." Monte Jarrad stood and stared at him, glassy-eyed. “It don’t matter how daid I be, or nothing,” Melody said, pouring it into him slowly. “Daid or alive, I’m your finish. You ain’t never going to get nothing you want again. I can stand in your light ten times better when I’m daid than I ever done yet. And when you finally puke blood and die, you’ll know it was me that done it, some way.” Monte Jarrad stared at him dumb­ founded, too profoundly shocked to explode. Nobody had ever talked to him like that in his life before. “You’ll be an earmarked ghost,” Monte said, looking at Melody’s ear. “I already got my notch on you, I see.” But his mind was not on it. “Reckon it won’t show with a cof­ fin on,” Melody answered. “Dif­ ferent with the mark I got on you. Because I taken her away from you, you hear? Whether she knows it or not.” Two riders were coming in, walk­ ing their horses. The stride of the ponies, conveyed to the listeners by the hoof-rhythm, was unhurried; yet they moved in boldly, with no pauses to spy out the situation into which they headed. Melody shifted to crane his neck. “Stand where you are!” Monte snarled at him. Monte backed across the angle of the room until he could flick a glance through the door in the direction of the corral without giving Melody a chance to make a break. “You don’t see ’em,” Melody drawled, without sighting anything himself. “Because they gone in the bam. I can tell that by ear. And I can tell you something else. You don’t need to look so sceart. Because one of them is Cherry’s horse—I can tell because I know he thrun a shoe.” He didn’t bother to answer Melo­dy. “So now you can ask her for your­ self,” Melody said. “She’ll walk In here in a minute. Ask here if what I told you is so. Ask her what that gun will get you from here on in. If you had sense you’d turn it on yourself, and duck a peck o’ mis­ ery.” “Shut up!” Monte’s eyes, carefully watching Melody, kept flicking toward the bam; and presently Melody knew by Monte’s face that he had been right, and that Cherry had come into Monte’s view. Very slowly Monte Jarrad put his gun away; but as it settled into its holster he tested it to be sure that it rested there lightly. He could draw it again much faster than another man could spit. They were standing there like that, silent and watchful in suspend­ ed motion, as Cherry de Longpre came across the gallery to the door, and stopped there. Cherry’s face had no color, blood­ less because she was tired. Her hair was tumbled and her clothes hard worked; but her head was up. “Hello, Cherry,” Monte Jarrad said. “I can’t remember,” she said, “why I ever thought you looked like each other.” “Me too,” Melody said, more con­ versationally. “If I had realized what kind of tizzick-looking jigger I was mistook for, I sure would of high-tailed out of here to begin on.” “Be still,” Cherry said, disdaining to raise her voice to him. “You’d better go out to the bam. George Fury is out there. He’s hurt.” Melody stared at her while this soaked in. “Bad?” he asked finally. “He’s dying, I think.” Melody shifted his eyes to Monte Jarrad, and held them there while he moved sidelong to the door. She made room for him to pass. Once outside Melody took a chance on turning his back, and moved toward the bam at a run. Cherry looked after him for a mo* ment, without any change of expres­ sion. "Cherry,” Monte Jarrad said, 'are you crazy?” “No,” Cherry said. “Sometimes—a couple of times lately—it’s sure seemed like there was something pretty funny in the slant you take about him.” “Is there?” “He’s useless,” Monte said, low voiced, without heat. “He’s got less natural sense, than a fresh-dropped calf—and ain’t worth half as much. You could study him a lifetime, and never find something he was good for.” •Yes,” Cherry said. “Monte, why did you shoot George Fury?” (TO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI C H O O L L e s s o n By HAROLD L.

GOD’S PROMISE OF A NATION LESSON TEXT^-GeneIlJ 17:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—I WUl establish my cove* (toht between me and thee and thy seed alter thee In. their generatlohs for. an ever* lasting covenant, to be a Qod unto thee and to thy seed alto: thee.—Genesis 17:7. God keeps His promises. It may have appeared that God had forgot­ ten, but He had not, and in our les­ son we find Hiin ready to fulfill His promise. We need to Ieam the lesson of patience, of awaiting God’s time for the carrying out of His purpose. He is not in any hurry, but He always arrives on time. If we travel life’s way with Him, all will be well. Abram found the fullness of God’s blessing because he sought His will for life and service. We find him I. Walking In God’s Plan (w. I, 2).The place of blessing is not in some cloistered refuge where the circumstances of life and its prob­ lems cannot, disturb us. It is out in the daily walk with God, in the home, the office, the shop. What is God’s plan for the life.of the believer? Just what He told Abram: “Be thou perfect.” Noth­ ing less will do, for He is a perfect God. His law is perfect (Fs. 19:7). He requires a perfect obedience to the perfect law (James 2:10). This was His standard for Abram, and it can be no less for us. How shall we attain to it? Only in Christ can we meet and fulfill God’s plan of perfection. That means that as followers of the Lord we are to seek His power for the outworking of His grace in our lives. We are not to be content with a Christian life on a low stand­ ard or lacking any of the graces which God can give us. We, too, must recognize that if God is to give us His full measure of blessing, we must walk in accord with His will, walking in the light as He is in the light (I John 1:7). Much of the failure and impotence of present day spiritual life is ex­ plained by the willingness of Chris­ tians to live imperfect lives. U. Talking of God’s Purpose (w. 3-8). Abram fell on his face in adora­ tion and worship. Ineverence and humility, he put himself in the place of subjection and service. What happened? “God talked with him” (v. 3). This man was ready for a holy conversation with the Lord. His attitude of body was only the outward expression of an atti­ tude of heart which was right. So God and he talked about the purpose of the Lord for Abram’s life. He had been Abram, which means, “exalted father," that is, of a family or a tribe; now he became Abraham, “the father of a multitude.” This is the first of many instances in Scripture where a name was changed by God to mark an impor­ tant event, or a change of heart. For example, Jacob “the supplant- er” became Israel, “a prince with God” (Gen. 32:28); Simon became Peter, “a rock” (Matt. 16:17, 18). The letter to the church at Per- gamos speaks of the one who ,over­ comes in Christ’s name as having a new name written which no man knows save he that receives it (Rev. 2:17). The believer on Christ is a changed man, a new creature, whether his name be changed or not. God wants to change men—has He changed you? The promise is renewed to Abra­ ham. It was to his “seed,” that is, his descendants. He took the bless­ ing from God’s hand, accepting things that as yet were not, as though they were. God is able to make them come to pass (cf. Rom. 4:16-18). III. Trusting God’s Promise (w. 9, 10). Down through the ages every man in the great host to descend from Abraham was to bear the outward token that he belonged to the cov­ enant people. This was to be a sym­ bol of and to lead the recipient into that attitude of heart which would bring outward rite into ful­ fillment as an inward reality. Observe that after Abraham, it was always the parent who tints brought the son into the covenant. This speaks of the parental respon­ sibility to bring the little children to the Lord, and it also gives us the precious assurance that God is in­ terested in the children and ready to receive them at the hands of par­ ents, taking them into His own ten­ der care. Thus down through the genera­ tions, Israel was to show their faith in God, their assurance that He would keep His promises to them, and their consequent eagerness that their families should be counted into the covenant with God. Christ is ready and eager to un­ dertake for our children. His grace is sufficient, not only for us, but also for those who come,after us. His promise is to our "children's chil­dren” (Ps. 103:17, 18), “of such as keep His covenant.” Let us trust IBm, and put ourselves and our chil­ dren in that place of obedience where He may bless us and them* SEWING CIRCLE TiEEDLECRAFT Novelties You’ll Love to Crochet Mwm. r IKE to crochet the pineapple " design?

BENSON JlusUM—Merdl«g CeUege Seereg4 Jrteesee National Income How well a man lives is a matter that depends largely upon his in­ come and how he divides it. If he earns $40 a week ($2,000 a year) and spends every bit of it on himself, he can live about as well as anybody until some unforeseen calamity hits him. If he has a wife and child and an aged parent to support, each individual must subsist on about $10 a week. How well the people of any nation live is a similar matter. It depends upon the national income and how it is divided. Just like family in­come, national income changes from year to year and it is not always divided the same way. National in­ come is the grand total of what ev­ erybody in the nation earns. It in­ cludes all wages, salaries, farm yields, interest, rents, profits and dividends. How About Now? The United States Department of Commerce keeps track of our na­ tional income figures pretty well, year by year. Already we know that the income of all Americans totaled 160.8 billion dollars in 1944 and that workers got 72% of it, or 116 billion dollars. By “workers,” I. mean peo­ ple who draw wages and small clerical salaries. Corporation prof­ its that year ran just under ten bil­ lion dollars or 6%. There is a popular notion that peo­ ple who work don’t get very much of the fruits of their toil. Not long ago somebody repeated a 40-year-old piece of political propaganda to me, believing it every word. He said, “Here in America 2% of the people have 90% of the wealth.” There is not much to say about this state­ ment; It is not true. It has never been nearly true. Official Figures Last year the national-income dol­ lar went like this: 72c to American workers, 6c to corporations, 8c to small businesses in the form of prof­ it, 7c to farmers as return on what they produced, and another 7c to landowners and stockholders in the form of rents and dividends, and to money lenders in the form of interest. Of course all years aren’t alike but they vary less than you might think. National income bobs up and down but people who work always get most of it. Back In 1939, which was .a typical pre-war year, our na­ tional income was not half as high as last year’s; 70.8 billion dollars to be exact. Then, workers got 68% of it, and 6% was corporation profit; not much change in how the income was divided, but less than half as much actual money for everybody. Ancient History Back in 1929, the year Hoover suc­ ceeded Coolidge as President, na­tional income was 83.3 billion dol­ lars; bigger then, than in 1939. Cor­ poration profits were higher—9% as against 6% in recent years. But wage earners and office help were getting 64% of national income, even then. In 1932 (the depression) when corporations generally earned 9% less than nothing, wages climbed to 97% and still some working people went hungry. Any fair analysis of national in­ come figures over a period of years leads to this observation; workers, laborers and clerical people, get more money with the slightly small­ er percentage of a big national in­ come than with the bigger per­ centage of a small national income. The moral is perfectly clear. We will all fare better working together for a big national income than by wrangling about who gets most of it, and then having a small one.

The food outlook is so dark throughout the world that, in Janu­ ary, our habitually optimistic Pres­ ident asked Victory Gardeners and Home Canners to “carry on until the war is won.” Since then we have been told over and over that the only sure way to have enough vegetables for our own use is to grow and can them.“But please,” advises Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, makers Of glass fruit jars, “before you put your shoulder to the home canning wheel, take time to learn how jars and caps should be used. It is also smart to plan ahead, to buy ahead, so that canning time will not find you scurrying around trying to find equipment needed for the job. You may not find your favorite jar and cap unless you shop early in the season or it may be that merchants don’t keep them because other styles sell better. If your home is on the West Coast, you may not see any all-glass lightning type jars because most of your neighbors prefer a Mason jar with two-piece metal cap. The opposite is true of New Eng­ land; the lightning type is a best seller there. The majority of home canners in Southern, Caitral and Northern states have always de­ manded Masons with one-piece zinc caps. Zinc Caps Supply Uncertain “No zinc .caps could be made at the beginning of the war. Now the backlog of zinc has grown large enough to permit the manufacture of a large quantity of caps. Will there be enough to supply the de-- mand? That's a Seventy-Four Dol­ lar question—nobody knows what the demand will be. But, we do know labor is scarce and shipping facilities are not what we would like them to be. “A great many jars will have Glass Top Seal (glass lid, rubber ring, metal screw band) caps. There will also be Mason jars with two- piece metal vacu-seal caps—these are the ones with sealing compound Sowed around the edge of the lid to take the place of a regular jar nib- ber. The nicest of the two-piec# metal caps have dome shaped lids which pull down when a good vac- rum seal takes place. “Half pints are being made and so are wide mouth jars but neither is as plentiful as before the war. “No matter what size home can­ ning jar and style cap you decide So use, no matter whether it is your Srst or fiftieth year of canning, it will pay to choose a nationally inown brand and to use it by the >tep-by-step instructions printed on the circular packed with the jars and on the cap carton. It cost the manufacturer money to supply those up-to-date instructions and it is like- y to cost home canners time, money, and precious food if instructions are aot followed ” __ Help Sell Bonds m A band collar and dolman sleeves are new style points of the blonse, which can be worn with a solid color to m atch the print.
