MAY 7. 1924 School Consolidation In Glarbsville ' I’cople every where are becoming more aroused.to educational:facih- ties. Aniong these^ are the people of Clarksville township. -Let’s say H urrali! for them , and cocrbine our forces and help them Mirho so sorely need the help of the stranger, while they are willing to help them- Sclves. Education will not stay put, the products of every school are scattered broadcast over this whole country of ours. T his brings up the question of how best pay for schools. Here is a district that is rich in assessed valuation. A school lew makes it possible to built a line consolidated school. T here is another district where, assessed1’ values are very low—w hat then?— Shall the children of the poor dis­ tricts be denied an equal chance, in education afforded the children of- the more favorable localities? Surely we must divise som e way to equalize school opportunities. School tax needs ~a more even dis­ tribution and a more even distribu^ tion and a more just expenditure. The rich districts is proud of its flue .school. Its patrons' m ay com­ bat die • thought of giving a small portion of its school ta x to a distant district sc poor it needs help. But when you reflect that th e products of any school do not.: long in the locality where educated, this plan does not seem, so unfair or fbrciful. AikI now, since, the State offers aid in building building— to.all who want it, for school im provem ents^ Lst every fair minded person in Clarksville township he willing to cooperate and help bring about this be iter" school -4 A CeritTal - School. Oue that will meet the needs of all children in townships, and even oilier districts near enough by to be accommodated.. FrOr - instance the partions of M ocksville and Farmington township which are not included in their respective township schools. For it is from these sections the bigest kicks are- coming,—opposed to consolidation for Clarksville schools. Its remembered th at a good por­ tion of the tax money w hich helps" to maintain Cana high school comes from the pockets of our Clarksville citizens who prefer this money used for the good of all children in the township. W e are always ready to boost Cana liigh school and use every means to secure money for its upkeep. But when its comes to the tow nship as a whole 'th eu we're told the people are too poor to undertake such a project. Clarks­ ville township alone w ith wjiat is due her from State aid can estab­ lish an accredited State. H igh School —and not go beyond the 33et. on the $100.00 valuatioir. Will it be done? Now is the tim e to act, with two or three of the now used school buildings; already condemned; shall we havea~good comfortable building for all the children with a force of efficient teachers, able to m ake school life in the grades more attractive there­ by creating a desire in the m inds of a majority of the pupils to re­ main in school at least long enough to complete Jlie high school grades, 1‘'tiler than to ,drop out down in the grades.and take up the cheap ■nan’s job in the towns and cities, as so many of them do at time. ‘ * loday there are tw enty-tw o say nothing o f'th e num - boys in our tow nship are ready for high school grades, and this num ber does, not iiielude those residing J n Cana. * pecial Tax District. Many-, of 1 >ese have been ready for higher w°rk for more than a couple of 5 ears. But due- to circumstances w iicli they nor their parents could Prevent they have been forcetj- to. remain away from lugh school, lere are a few, however, who have NUM BER 44 present girls to ber of who by . means of paying tution and driving horses and buggy kept on try iug to m ake their grades. ,So long gs boys an<L.gi:is ,:are--forced tp. get. their, higher educatiotr through such cliauces as afforded 4U Clarksville today. , ^Ve will for­ ever have the ignprauts, '^m n k ea sots and crim inals, which some have declared the children to be, of honest parents .whom'-resides in W estern and N orthern sections of Clarksville township. W ith all re*, spect for the-one teacher schoo’s and w hat th e f have ..done for-those who have'passed that way—we" dare sa'v the day of the orie teacher school has passed for this part of our country and most! artjainly at som ething B etter..''- Thien most everyother township in Davie county .has a consolidated ‘school and a certain percent ef tax;- e s 'from. Clarksville township, has helped to m ake these., possible.- So now : let’s help ourselves thereby get help from these whom are al­ ready in the Jeadi- ' A nd since the ..State' will only furnish and for but oae bflilding to the township.

But, good people;! will we not be a- roused'to th is great opportunity— to piit our tow nship on a scale with those others wlio a re'g iv in g their children the best school advantages uow offered in our State.

These are the steel corpor­ ation's quarterly earnings statement and dividend action and the reduction in the rediscount rate of the federal reserve banks of New York. The steel corporation’s first quarter earnings were consideraed, ,excellent, particularly in view of the fact that the installation of the eight hour day had been completed. The net was the best recorded since 1918, and that tor the month of March was exceptionally gocd. Those in close touch with the corporation’s affairs were - confident, furthermore, that the results of the second quarter, while smaller than those for the first, will be distinctly good. - -‘ - - - Nevertheless, the markets were dis­ posed to pay more attention to the current reports from the steel indus­ try, and to Chairman Gary’s remarks regarding the outlook. Steel produc­ tion, ,which declined gradually during the early part of April, fell more rap­ idly during the last week of that month. The present rate of activity for the industry as a whole is about 20 per cent below the JJarch peak. ■Steel prices are. holding to the lower levels recently establishd, and pig iron prices have suffered fresh de­ clines. Mr. Gary, while optimistic in his re­ marks after the declaration of the extra dividend of 59 cents, stated that the volume of new business is falling off. He regarded this as a natural consequence of the remarkable rate of activity attained early In the year, and expressed his conviction that business would revive by falL At that time he expects business to he much better than at present.

' Washington.—Ignoring overwhelm­ ing majorities in both houses of Con­ gress, President Coolidage-vetoed, tjie Eursum-Fulier Pension Bill, designed to grant horizontal pension “increases, to veterans, widows and dependents of all wars from 1812 to 1902. This was the President’s first re-' jection of any Congressional legisla­ tion. “Unwarranted expenditure” was the reason ascribed. Ey this action, the President fore­ shadowed a veto of the-World W ar Eonus Bill, which reached him tonight. Those cole to the President freely pre­ dicted that the Bonus Mill would meet the same fate as did the Pension Bill. They pointed out he could not consist­ ently refuse aid to one class of war veterans and grant ,additional compen- sation to another class. In disapproving the measure, Mr Coolidge followed the same course as’ did the late President Harding, who refused his endorsement to a similar measure last year. “The advantage of a class cannot be greater than the welfare, of the na­ tion,1 the President declared In his message returning the pension bill un­ signed to the Senate.

Eighty-six persons were killed, more than 400 injured, many perhaps fatally, hundreds were made homeless and un­ told property damage was caused by storms of cyclonic proportions which devastated sections of the southeast Wednesday.

' During {he Muscle'-Shoals hearing of the senate agriculture committee, Sentaor Harrison urged more speed in the proceedings, pointing out that time was limited and; at'the present rate it would be difficult to‘ bring the measure to a vote in the senate before adjourn­ ment. He insisted that the senatq be allowed to accept or reject the meas­ ure. which has already passed the. house. ' Near the close of the session of’the senate, Chairman, Norris introduced another bill for the operation of Mus­ cle Shoals. The bill was prepared by James T. Lloyd, Washington attorney, former representative from Missouri, who- described it as a compromise be­ tween government and-private owner­ ship. Mr. Lloyd said he offered the bills as a suggestion for solving the Muscle Shoals problem, and that he did not : represent any special.' interests. The Lloyd proposal would create the fed­ eral chemical corporation with a’ cap­ ital of $10,000,000, and with: stock, ownership ■ limited to American citiz­ ens. It would lease Muscle Shoals for 50 yeara and make additions to the property from government plans at the govemmenL’s expense.

The month passed, and the find of stones was .negligible. This did not necessarily augur |11 for the future or the claim. Only the surface of the blue ground had been Investigated, and ■ it. required an exposure of the. blue rock to sun and air for weeks In. order to permit of proper disintegration. The crushing of the excavated, material hnd been’a makeshift, -inspired by urgency.’ But stones should-have been found, and only a few small pebbles had come to light Three days before the month ex­ pired IVinton received a letter from Judge Davis, in his capacity as a shareholder, requesting Ipm to call a meeting In order to discuss certain subjects of importance. Winton ad­ vertised the meeting In the-ChronlcJe1 set his teeth, and prepared for,the in­ evitable. " The day arrived. He found himself at the table with Davis. De Witt, Han­ son,- and the four shiall shareholders. The Tansfer had been made irrevo­ cable. He held forty-seven shares, and the syndicate., with Hanson,- the same number. The local men, with their six shares, thus controlled the situation* and their decision was not in doubt. Winton went to the meeting in the full expectation of. being ousted and of seeing De Wltt reinstalled as purser. He had steeled himself to bear the humiliation, but the severance of his relations .with the claim, the end of the. enterprise so far as he was concerned, was difficult to face, And there would be Ned out of employment—Ned, still In the hospital, though physically well, In the hope that something could be done for him; Ned, greeting Winton with his mysterious nods and smiles and Bible passages, and believing that his references were understood. The hostile atmosphere of the meet­ ing, De Witt’s expression of triumph, and Hanson’s vindictive glances con­ vinced Winton that -this move was about to be made. But Davis never did the ohviduis thing, and he had other ends In view; “Mr. Purffer,” he said, “the proposi­ tion to be placed before "this meeting is as follows: that we go into volun­ tary liquidation for the purpose of an immediate reorganization, In order to raise fresh capital to develop our water supply.“You have made frequent complaints that the flow of the company’s water Is not adequate to the working of the claim. I can bear you out in this, for I have investigated the matter, and, being Interested both in the claim and In the water company, I have naturally done all that was possible to increase" the flow. “The Big Malopo promises to be­ come the' most profitable, claim upon the fields. The prosperity o_f all Ma- Iopo is closely bound up with the water supply. By improving, our water re­ sources we shall not ori’y promote fra­ ternity and concord”—itwe.the judge's voice asspmed its quavering intona­ tion, which In -turn gave way to the- sharp business tone—“but shall enter into a very profitable'business enter­ prise. “Our water supply is at present ' wholly dependent upon the under­ ground storage accumulated during the preceding rainy 'season-. A succession of two dry years would mqan the total cessation of all labor for months. Qb- viously we cannot remain at the mercy of the eldnientsr”when"—he looked about him for the anticipated approba­ tion—“it is possible to tap the Groot- spruit river and secure an unfailing, supply throughout the year.” A storm of applause greeted him as he sat down.- Wlnton sprang to his feet. - . ■ “The Grootspruit is' fifty miles away I” he cried. “Wihat is your esti­ mate ,of the cost of installing a "plant and layidg pipes across the deserf?" “I have submitted the question to tw j competent engineers, Mr. Garrett," answered the judge. ■ “Their estimates are practically the same. "They place the^oSt at, roughly, ninety thousand; pounds. "Tlils will provide a sufficient flow for the entire mining field.” Wlnton sat down, shunned more at .what- lay behind the proposition than at the suggestion-Itself. If the syndi­ cate was willing ,to invest as heavily as that, Itmeant that they were aware, In .ways unknown to himself, that the Big Malopo was not merely a promis­ ing claim, but one of the biggest out­ side the famous Kimberley fields. For,It was hardly likely that the syn­ dicate Wab planning to cut. the throat of it* own water company, which could' supply It with an ample, quantity,- In -order to bring Wate^; for fifty miles across the desert. - And. the scheme meant,- of course, that Winton wddjd he frozen out completely, together with the-little men,; who had doubtless been let into the secret and had agreed to sell. He w°uld own only an insignlfi- cant number of shares in the reorgan- Jzed eoncerq. < ' ! Even Jf .fhe'propose]. failed,, ithe syn­ dicate could IhdtaU a new purser and . -instruct him to coll for an unlimited ^ expenditure which Winton would, be !" Ijlhable.'to' meet. They had him both •Ways.. Yet,, he put up.a fight, urging, iha small" sharrNilders to stand" tip 'against the syndicate, instead of let­ ting-their-interests be- swamped. . He attacked Davio without scruple. His .words were bitter. One of-the smaller -men was- wavering,- but he controlled one vote only. ” ' “Mr. Purser, will you put the mo­ tion?” inquired Judge Davis when he had ended. > . .' "And the waverer cast In hislot ,with the syndicate after .all. Tlie motion' passed by, fifty-three to forty-seven. It was not until he found himself upon the street again that Wlnton. realized he was still purser. Hg rea­ soned that the syndicate did not need to dispossess him until, the reorganiza­ tion had been effected In a few days’, time. Then, of course, De Witt would step into his shoes. When he got back to the claim every­ thing looked different to him. The work, which had been in the nature of a duty, suddenly seemed an Integral part of his life.' ItoccUrred to him for the first time that, without it, he would have no longer any reason for remain­ ing In Malopo. And the thought was a staggering "one. . • j - ■ Without" home ties, he" had uncon­ sciously begun to assimilate to him­ self the atmosphere of the- little desert town. A thousand daily scenes, in­ sensibly " built into his being, now seemed a part of him and claimed him. He did not know what he was going to do. However, an unexpected program had been, arranged., foe.him. ,.Sanv-wbo,- Uiough degraded from his cherished and short-lived job, had never ceased to take an interest In the compound natives, was loitering near the door of the cottage, evidently with the de­ sign of Intercepting him. . ‘ 'Want me, Sam?” asked Winton. 'I was hoping, sir, that you might be willing to he a guest at our musicale tonight,” answered Sam, grinning a little sheepishly. . ", >" “Explain,” said Winton. . “Well, My. Garrett, yo,u will recall that . I have occasionally expressed the view that the Bantu does^ not differ In. a psychological sense from the Cau­ casian!. My theory, to Which you have offered a tacit opposition, Is.that It is their environment alone which has kept these" natives down. I have been endeavorinc to disseminate certain social IdenT among them." 1 So that explains the ungodly noise I’ve heard lately, Sam?” For'several weeks past the natives of the Hlg Malopo compound appeared to' Imve been practicing on, a variety o f musical instruments ranging from the humble concertina up to the clarinet ThO discords had been maddening, but Winton bad hoped the craze would pass, 'I think, sir, that our ear has be­ come attuned.” said Sam with dignity; All right,” said -Winton. “When docs' the show begin?” . . At seven o'clock, sir,” .answered Sam. ' 'Tll be there,” said Winton. He was cooking supper In his room when Josephs tapped a t the door. The little man wore an expression of con­ siderable amffety, -mingled with dis­ gust - ;. “Mr.. Garrett,” he began,- “here’s where I get out You’d Uetter look for another compound manager quick.” What’s the trouble?” Winton in­ quired. 'It’s that nigger Sam", Mr. Garrett. He told' me you’d given him leave to' experiment with the, boys In the in­ terest of science, or something,' and. Fve sto'od by and seen as good a lot Ofv boys turning into shiftless "loafers as .Fve ever seen.' But I’ve reached my limit with musical evenings.” • 'Josephs,'. I kicked Sam Out of the job because he was maklng htmself a nuisance. I left the management of- the compound exclusively to you.” “Well, Fm out,” answered Josephs, uomollified, “unless' this sanitary, science business comes to an end right now.. Do you know that we’re the laughing stock of the: fields, Mr. Gar­ rett? I ain’t ;a difficult man- to get along with, but I draw the Une at musical swarries.for.wlld niggers,.that was throwing spears at each other! three months' ago and stalking buSh- buck on their-'bellies.” . . . “You’re' right, Josephs.,- I gave. Sam nc permission to Interfere ,with the boys In any way, and I’m'satisfied to leave you In full charfle." V “ That’s all right," grumbled Jo­ sephs, “but this is Saturday night, and they ain’t been searched. For all we1 know,'every one of them d—h niggers may have a pint of stopes,about him. Sam told me you hadn’t begun search­ ing them yet, and you. was trying to put them on their, -honor, .o^sqme.'such, Sunday school story, and-Fve been try-! Ing to ask you- about it for days, and been put off.” • “I've been pretty busy; Josephs. Of course the boys will have to be searched. But wehayen’t begun wash- Ing.yet, to.any extent.” ’ , - • : '"Mr. Garrett, there’s been, more dig­ ging and -Washing than you know;.

'However, ,tonight;. Samls got to .haye full , swing, because I gave him my promise.. And-don’t worry, .Josephs, because yon may have ahother purser more to your IikJng In d little while.” “I hope not, Mr. Garrett,” answered the' manager. “There ain’t a man I’d rather work for than yob. But you’re too ’easy,'-’ - After a little more ,talk. Winton suc­ ceeded In paclfying .josephs. and he persuaded him to come to the com­ pound with kim'nnd eee what Sanj had been doing. They- went there at the appointed hour. The compound -buildings con; slsted of a Targe structure in which the beys ate and gathered after their work was over, and a second, divided Into partitioned sections, In which, the' nn-' tives were housed according to their several tribes.. From the former an awful din" of musical -lnstrjiments-was making itself audible. The two men entered, and stopped on the threshold as if petrified.- The walls were decked with-flags. A large lamp hung from the roof, throw­ ing a' bright light into the farthest cor­ ners. Thirty ,or forty savages were formed In a double line along the floor. 'Each one was attired In a full-dress suit, with starched bosom, white collar and tie. Each man wore a pair" of patent-leather shoes antj .white socks. Half a' dozen native women were pres­ ent, one or two' with graceful colored !hnndkercbjtqfefOyeij their frizzly ,locks,^ but the rest wearing discarded Hats off various shapes. Their apparel was of rainbow hues. At the end of the hall was an orchestra, "consisting of two fiddles, a cello,, two clarinets, two flutes, a drum, ,three trombones, and a triangle.’ At Wlntoii’s appearance- the-'band struck up “God BlfeSs the Prince of Walesi”- and. to. cap the climax, every; .man produced a pair, of bones and tapped .out the tune. ■ , ! • Sam came, up’ to Winton, bis black face beaming over his expansive shirt- front.

I “You- will see.'- Mr.iGarrett,’ that my theory was correct,” said Sard. .“The Bantu and th e ' Caucasian, though ethnoiogicalij' ,distinct sub-species. :of the genus homo, are, 'psychologically, brothers.” '• ' , “D—n your brothers!" shrieked'the compound/manager. ’!The:, boys are. here to dig diamonds. JDid you ever stop, to think of that,, you black fool?” He swung on his heel and stalked fu­ riously ' 'out - of the .compound..! Then Winton found his tongue. !."-:■-V " “What are these women doing, here, Sam?” he demanded sharply;. Sam rubbed his hands, together.1 • }: ■. “The-• softening <,.and ---refining - Influ­ ence of. the feminine sex Js not. con­ fined to the Caucasian,’.’ he answered.- Winton sword.

But what interpretation did these blacks place upon It? Dancing and worship are synonymous among the. lower races;.. For them it might, mean some mystic ritual to tribal gods.

As they, approached- the compound building the din was at its height. One look" inside disclosed the fact that Civilization was-at. an end. A dozen tribal dances were being ebacte^. Men were dancing and swaying before the group, of Women, whooping and-scream­ ing as they .went through their own immemorial ritual. , The, man with the drum had lost all self-control and was hammering it with all his might, seihi- Ing out; a deafening roil. .The ,cdlilat had smashed.his. Instrument on. the head of one of 'the flutists, who was of a' different tribe, and the.! man- lay stunned, his skull half through • the instrument, and' the strings tangled about hi.s -neck, V The trombones:.were blowing with ’all the power of iheir lungs, one of the fiddlers had seized the other fiddler’s Instrument! and was clashing them together, and ,toe man, wifh the’ triangle was striking It softly, in a corner by himself and humming a Uegro !love song.. The place was a bedlam; of tribal factions suddenly come to Ufe. Clothes littered' the•-gtoiindlpmatiyes were, dlSH carding. the -,second-hand dress-sults, bought: fromNspme old-ciothes store, and gyrating In their loin" cloths." Winton . saw. Sam near the door, watching the scene-in dumb terror. ‘Do you see what you’ve done, you cursed fool?” he cried. “Run and tele­ phone thd police from my office. The whole of the fields-will be In a riot In five minutes' time.' Even Josephs hesitated to attack that yelling mob, In which a dozen fights had’already started. But at that moihent salvation came. It’ came In the shape of an elderly man, with a. white,beard -and.-a shock ofi wliite.hair, who came running across the com­ pound,-carrying aIwhlp and'a shotgun; and Winton had never been so glard to see Ned. Burns before. -With, him were two or three Hotten­ tots, also Carrying whips, men ftho, de­ spising. the native tribes, had'; stayed sulkily away from Sam's entertain­ ment. ' -' V 'Ned, who had been let. out of the hospital that afternoon; had made his way toward the shack, his only, home, He had heard- the uproar, and, not knowing : the cause of it, had acted automatically, as he had been trained" to do by years of experience.,wlthi the natives. Emitting a yell'that pierced the din. Iikea fog-horn, be discharged the shot­ gun. Into the legs immediately in front of him, followed with: the other barrel, and then, accompanied by JcUephs and the Hottdntots,- waded into the throng. In half a-minute the tribal passions, cooled under the stinging blows, gavo place";1 to order. The . shrieking moh. penned tip at one end;of tie room, howled for qjercy, while Ned’s whip rose and fell relentlessly- curling about the half-naked bodies and searching out ench man with ImpaHjal-dexterity.

PROPER METHODS FOR PREPARING POULTRY (Prepared by the tTnlted States DepantaAeat et Agriculture.) A broad field "for specialization by farmers In producing table poultry' of prime quality is felt to exist by the United States Department of Agricul­ ture. Most, pou^ry,--says , the/ depart­ ment, ISaSHlpped alive by producers be^! cause - producers are 'not skilled In dressingIind'are not equipped to han­ dle and ship the dressed poultry In good Condition over long distances. Shippers of dressed poultry wlll find it profitable a§ a' rule to fatten the Wrdsifor'a period'of ten to. fourteen days ^before killing, the department says. Bequlrements of.the market to which the poultry are! sent should de-t termlne whether the birds should be scalded or .dry picked, and also the style of dressing. .It is extremely im­ portant that the birds be well bled and thoroughly chilled immediately after slaughter, .to remove all body heat. ' . ■- . Failure^ to chill properly Is of ten re­ sponsible' for-, spoilage. In Warmi weather dressed;, poultry slionld be shipped packed . In ice ' to prevent spoilage-in transit: 'Grading for qual­ ity, uniformity, and size is desirable.- !Shipping of. poor quality, birds In separate packages Is also desirable when the. quantity to bejshipped.ls suf­ ficiently iarge to make tills step practl- eabfe, the department .says. It probably will not pay to fatten poultry that Isin fairly good condi­ tion 6t flesh, before shipping them alive, because the shrinkage In weight of specially fattened poultry is likely to be heavy’ during th.e journey to market, the department points out. But 11! thfppouitry is ve/y, thin It wIU probably. Jmj to fatten the- birds, for a few days or a week. . In '- shipping alive, producers, are urged to grade the birds by ajje and kind, and so far as practicable to ship the different .classes In-separate coops. Overcrowding In coops, es­ pecially during hot weather, causes heavy loss. Feed; should'be withheld from tlie poultry a sufficient length of time before shipping, to Insure arrival of the birds on the'market with empty crops. " v In shipping either live or dressed poultry, the, 'department emphasizes the ImpprtancerOf determining tlie .best days of the week for poultry on the market selected, and the planning of shipments to arrive on those days. Care should always be ..taken that coops or containers . In which - paltry Is shipped are plainly marked with the name and address of both the receiver and shipper.. • Further .detailed Information, as to the proper methods of killing, picking, chilling, packing and shipping poultry applicable to tlie use of producers, as well as brief descriptions of commer­ cial methods, are. given In Farmers' Bulletin 1377* entitled '4Marketing ,Poultry,” copies of which can be ob­ tained, (as long as the snpply lasts; upon request of the United States De­ partment of Agriculture, .Washington, D.

Leave In tlie front 'a door, and windows 'the full'1 length of tlie house. Half the win­ dows should be-'glass, and. the other t half - protected with burlap or mus­ lin to keep out drafts and ralri or snow, but. allow- fpr ventilation. The windows sho.uld all be arranged so that ventilation may be Increased or dimin­ ished as the need changes with weath­ er conditions. G ive C hickens F re e R tm . *' Whenever It Is Possible It Is better to fence thfe-garden so that' the chickens cannot get It^to it than It Is to fence them In-close quar­ ters to-prevent them from eating" the crop. What .is true'with the garden Is .true. with, ail crops that might be In- jured by the birds!: .Fence such crops' In, and let the cMclrens range when­ ever possible.'

Velora Prouuuts Co.. Box SGOi Atlanta: Oa- ConcreteMixed WithAccuracy Strength of Material Is De­ termined by"Amount of Water Employed. Few persons realize, perhaps, how great an effect a difference in the pro­ portion of-water-can have in the mix­ ing of concrete. There are many who do not realize--that for each, pint pf unnecessary water added to a concrete mixture the strength of the finished concrete mnv be decreased as much as if two* pounds of portland cement had been left out. The best concrete mixture is that which is as stiff as can be mixed con­ veniently- Even tills .will not be of the maximum strength, which could be inch tap Slump Test Cone. obtained, but a mixture of maximum Strength would not be practicable for general construction purposes, as it would be too stiff to be worked. But a mixture of the stlffest consistency that can be worked will give 70 to 90 per cent of the maximum strength. The following table show-s how too much or too little water detracts from the strength of concrete by wasting the strength of the cement; (lass concrete, such as Te used for heavy' foundation work, should not slump to exceed 2 Inches. Helnforced concrete such as walls . should- not slump more than 6 Inches;- concrete roads when finished by hand should not have more than a 4-lnch slump, while cement mortar for floor finishes should not have a greater slump than 2 Inches. Applying Slump Test. To apply the slump test, estimate the minimum slump-that you can ude and Still obtain the necessary consist­ ency in the concrete. Test Ihe hatches frequently to check the slump and In- crense“5r decrease the quantity of wa­ ter accordingly. Consistency of concrete mixtures is easily measured and regulated by the slump test. The only apparatus needed In mak­ ing the slump test Is a %-inch point­ ed metal rod 21 inches long and a- piece of sheet metal for a- form, rolled into the shape of the frustum of a cone as shown in-the accompanying diagram. The fprm can be-cut from a-piece of metal 15 • Inches wide. 26 inches long, and not less than 20 gauge- When finished it-will be 12 inches high. 4 Inches in diameter at the top and 8 inches In diameter at the bottom Fill this form with the concrete to be tested, placing it In layers about 4 inched deep antl'.working it with the pointed metal rod. Each layer should be rodded exactly 80 times. Lift off the form immediately and measure the set­ tlement or slump of the concrete. Concrete having a slump of % inch will contain only.a little more water than necessary for maximum strength, but will be too stiff for. most construc­ tion work. Concrete contalnlng-10 per cent more water than is required for greatest strength will give a slump of 3 to 4 inches: 2o'per cent excess water gives a slump of 6 to 7 inches; 50 per cent excess water gives a slump of 8. to 10 Inches. 10% too little w ater w astes 27% of the cem ent strength 6% ” " ” " 10%.................... 7% much 10% 12% " ” ." ” 20% ” ” " „ - '1 8 %.......................... - 30%................................. ” 2 5 %................................. 407, " " 31% " " ’’ ” 50%......................... 42% " ” " ■' 60% " - ” 63% ” .........................................70% -..............................

Federal grades for alfalfa are con­ templated In Investigational work now being done bv the United States De­ partment of Agriculture. Preliminary studies In co-operation with state ex­ periment stations the past few months have Included the collating of all data obtainable on the relative weight and feeding value of leaves and stems, rela­ tive feeding value of different cut­ tings at various stages of maturity, losses due to leaching, mechanical losses incurred In curing and. the results of feeding experiments with stack sweated and stack burned al­ falfa. Studies have also been made of the relative Importance of alfalfa production In different parts of the United States and of the volume of re­ ceipts In various markets. A number of bales of alfalfa hay have been obtained at various points In the West by the Kansas City office of the hay. feed and seed division of the department, aqd forwarded to the department s hay laboratory at Wash­ ington; Detailed studies of these bales are being made to determine statis­ tical facts regarding color, texture. Ieafiness and foreign material as grad.' Ing factors. During the coming summer repre­ sentatives of the department will visit the principal alfalfa markets and pro­ ducing areas to make a thorough sur­ vey of existing, grades and marketing, practices to secure additional samples. Persons interested In the grading- of alfalfa, and who have, constructive suggestions to offer, are Invited to cor­ respond with the-Bureau.of.Agricultur­ al - Economics.

The ever-growing list of state "Corn." "Wheat” and "Potato” clubs is tangible evidence of the rapidly widening conviction In the necessity for StLmuIatlng Interest-In higher rates of yield as being perhaps the most practicable means of reducing produc­ tion cost and insuring a fair profit to the grower. . cThe k itc h e n j i CABINET i© 1S24- Westdm Newspaper Uplop-I for- w ill still Fire is the greatest enemy of good timber. ■ • * . , Protect shade trees- from , canker worm by a band, of sticky substance.

January 12-1^ 1924, which declared unequivocally vfor Cll,niitiilional government. - We desire to emphasize our. .en­ dorsement of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act and the strict enforcement of ■ both. W e urge Hie vot-jrs of North Carolina to fiipport for State and Federal legis­ latives offices candidates who by re­ cord and public statem ent stand for these measures. We believe in the strict enforce­ ment of the Turlington Act. T he l.-gislative committee appointed by ilii-t body in November, 1922, did its -,vork thoroughly and success f u l l y , and deserves the thanks of every citizen in the State. Now we urge these citizens aud the ex­ ecutive officers to see that the pro­ visions of this m easure. are used in even- county to rid the State of bootleggers aud blockaders. Tiie sheriff of the county is vested with nower and authority to break up the outlawed .liquor traffic. H e is under oath to “ search -for and seize any distillery or apparatus used for the m anufacture of intoxi­ cating liquor in violation of the laws of North CarolinaJ" W e urge all citizens to require of sheriffs the failure of their deputies. We believe the people should sup­ port in primaries ,and-elections can ­ didates for sheriff who abstain from the use 01 intoxicating liquors. If making and selling liquor is, un ­ lawful, the consumer is a party to the crime. Not only - candidates for sheriff, but candidates for sheriff, but candidates for judge, solicitor aud recorder should pub­ licly go 011 record for' vigorous en forcemeat of the prohibition laws. We urge our teachers through­ out the Stale to provide their schools with suitable program s that ''L atvandO rder Day” may I).- observed We favor an appro priutiou that will enable the Su pcrmleiidenl of Public Instruction, as the law provides, to furnish such urograms. Reverence for la w 'is essential and must be tau g h t.. Es- p.cial attention should be given to Iue Ie ichering of the effects of al­ cohol 011 the human system , both- In public schools and in Sunday schools, so that public opinion will understand the reasous for. prohi­ bition and wish the law enforced. file people must be brought -to a deeper sense of civic responsibili- tV- Yhose who vote are the only 0 ies who really count as citizens of the Republic. As long as approxi­ mately half of those who are en­ titled to exercise the right of stiff r;ige fail to qualify and vote, Chris­ tian citizenship must arouse itself aJid make every non-participating citizen realize that he is a civic iJacTer- We urge all citizens to 1 icel this responsibility at the pri­ maries June 7, 1924.

She must , have this food regardless of whether or not she produces any milk. Food used for milk production must be in addition to that required to keep the cow’s body., - ; ; :' .A LOOO-pound cow • producing 20 pounds of 4 per cent milk a day, If properly fed, devotes , about half of her feed to maintenance and half to milk production. Obviously, when a dairyman has gone to the expense of supplying that half of the food re-' quired for maintaining (he cow’s body, It is poor economy to withhold any of the other half, all. of which goes to produce milk. A cow then requires feed In (accordance to the amount of milk she is able to produce. The heavy producer needs the most feed. . Farm-grown roughages (silage, hay, etc.) furnish the cheapest'food nutri­ ents. However, a. good dairy cow can- not eat enough roughage to supply her needs for milk production. She must have some grain. Therefore, to feed with the most economy the following rules must be observed, says the Uni­ versity of Missouri college of agricul­ ture: 1. Feed all the roughage a cow will eat. She will eat more if fed three times a day Instead of twice. 2. Feed grain in proportion to the pounds of milk produced.’ “* To a Jersey or Guernsey cow feed I pound of grain for each 3 to 3% pounds of milk ,,produced. To a Holstein, . Ayrshire or Short­ horn feed I pound of grain for each 4 to 4% pounds of milk produced. Hollanders Breed Cows for Higher Production “Weed, feed and breed” should be the slogan of every, dairyman who has an ,eye to the future. Weed out the poor producer, feed well according "to the amount of milk produced, and breed only to good, pure bred sires,, whose dams have records of better. than 400 pounds of butterfat.. If yoii. follow these suggestions, your herd's average yield' will .be doubled, and in Ore thari*donbled, In a few years. In the United States 4,000 pounds of milk containing 160 pounds of but- . terfnt is the production of the average cow. In Holland, the average .Is Just, about double that figure.’ Why? Merer Iy , because the Hollanders have'for many years fed and bred their cattle for high production. A study of the records of more than 18,000 cow-testing associations In this country reveals two significant facts: First, In all cases the high-producing groups were the most profitable—they returned the greatest income over cost of feed. Second, the highest producers were also the groups thut produced milk and butterfat most economically —that Is, they showed the lowest feed cost a pound of butterfat or to the 100 pounds, of milk.’ Sudan Grass-Makes Good Supplemental Pastures In the handling of a herd ‘ of good , milk cows, it seems to be imperative' that farmers generally make provision for having supplemental pastures for their cows along In July aud August when normally the ryttjve pastures give mighty little good feed. Probably the outstanding annual feed crop which we have’,for: that purpose is ■ siidan grass and the planting of that crop on thousands of iicres simply for the pasture It would give when the other pastures were at best inferior would mean normally: a higher return, an acre than now is obtained. Pastures provide cheap milk be. cause pasture Is a .cheap feed and gives an excellent yield of milk. IiIan to put In a few acres of Sudan grass to use for pasturing your milk cows along next summer.' The return will be higher an. acre than if handled In any’ other way.

Washington. — ,The much-discussed Mellon tax plan was laid to rest with the adoption by the senate of the en­ tire democratic income tax substitute. The minority's schedule of surtax rates was approved, 43 to 40, while its revision of normal rates was adopt­ ed, 44 to 37. The republican insur­ gents joined with the democrats in ■supporting the entire program. Chairman Smoot, of the'finanee com-, mitee, said that when the bill came up on final passage he would propose a compromise as was done in the house after the democratic program first had been approved there. He is hopeful that the senate will accept the compromise as-.the house did. The surtax rates written into the bill provide for a reduction • of • the present maximum of 50 per cent to a maximum of 40 per cent, and for cor­ responding revisions all along the line. They are almost similar to those adopted1 by the house. The normal rates accepted were two per cent on the first $4,000 of Income; four per cent oh the second $4,000 and six per cent above that amount, compares with the present rates, of four per cent bn the first $4,000 and eight per cent above that amount I ncoms Tax Plans Compared. .

Martin and his mechanic Staff Ser­ geant Alva L. Harvey, who have been missing since April 30, when theyleU Ghignik in their roundthe-world-flight, are safe at Port Moller, Aalaska. A radio message was received here from Major Martin. The aviators owed their ,existence, the radigram said, to ‘‘concentrated food and ner*e." Exhausted the. flight commander and his mechanic finally reached a trapper’s cabin at the south­ ernmost point of Port Moller Bay, on the morning of May 7. There they re­ gained sufficient Stjength to walk the beach three days before they were res­ cued. The plane struck a mountain near Port Moller an hour and a half after leaving Crignik, accord'ng to Major Martin’s message. Although the ship wa scompletely wrecked, neither of the aviators was hurt, he said. Port Mol­ ler is 199 miles west of Shignik. Nohting in the message indicates, as it was understood here, how many miles Maod Martin was from Port Mol- • Ier bay when his machine, the flag plane Seattle, was wrecked against a mountain. Thus it was not known here how many miles he and Sergeant Harvey forced their way through the wilderness before they reached the trapper's cabin and found something more to eat than the concenrated ra­ tions they carried. It is known, how­ ever, that they were at least a week on their-journey.

Washington.—Crop and weather con­ ditions In Southern States during the week were summarized today by the Department of Agriculture as follows: It was rather too cool for the best growth of cotton in most of the South,, although temperatures were more fay- orable in the Atlantic Coast districts. Rain for the first part of the week in- terefered with field work in Central and Eastern portions of the belt, but otherwise conditoins were favorable for planting, replanting, and cultiva­ tion. Cotton made poor progress in Teas because of the cool nights, and stands are irregular In Central and Northern portions of the State, due to recent unfavorable weather for ger­ mination; the general condition of the crop is fair. Early cotton shows fair to good stands in Oklahoma, and plant­ ing was under way ■ in all 'sections.^ This work has been completed in most parts of Arkansas, where the early crop shows irregular stands ranging from poor to very good. It <was mostly favorable for cotton in Louisiana, except that the nights were rather cool. More warmth and sunshine are needed in Tennessee, where planting was delayel by rain and warmer weather was needed. > Con­ dition^ were fairly favorable in Missis­ sippi and Alabama, though there.were complaints of poor to only fair germi­ nation in Mississippi, with irregular stands in Alabama. In Georgia plant­ ing was further delayed In the north­ ern portion, but’elesewhere the weath­ er was more favorable, (hough growth was slow w ith, much replanting. Stands were generally good in South Carolina and favorable reports were received from North Carolina, though moisture was needed for germination In some sections. Planting was well under way in Virginia. ’ ^ Registered Mail Sacks Taken.

Washington.—By a vote of 191 to 171 the house declined to approve the Jap­ anese extlusion provision of the im­ migration bill, Inserted-by house and senate conferences at the request of President Coolidge. ■ ' The measure wa sserit back to con­ ference with the house managers in­ structed to insist on elimination of. the provisions, which would postpone the !effective date of exclusion to March I, i925, and would request the President to negotiate with Japan for abroga­ tion of the “gentlemen’s agreement This action threw open the question of the affective date, as the house con­ ferees Were given no instructions to put up a fight for-the original house provision to enforce the ban July I. The senate voted to make exclusion ef­ fective upon enactment of the bill, but the conferees, after agreeing to 'ac­ cept the house date, decided to recom­ mend postponement for an additional eight months. They did so in deference, to toe wishes of President Colidge, who Sug­ gested March I, 1926, as a date which would afford time for diplomatic nego­ tiations, the managers compromising on March I, next. As a result of the house vote, the conference report will not be submit­ ted to the senate until the conferees have had opportunity to work out a revision. Some of the conferees expressed hope that a plan would be devised that would prove acceptable, both to the administration and to Congress. There were indication, however, that some of the house managers iyould resist any attempt to postpone the affective date of exclusion beyond July I. Six Executed on Louisiana Gallows.

PROPOSE TO BUILD TRIBUNAL AROUND OLD.HAGUE CON­ FERENCE. W ashington--Senator Henry Cabot Lodge laid before the senate and the country a new world court plant of his own- . , . ; .: . ...' .It provides for rthe reconvening or The Hague conference at the call of President ,Coolidge, and creation'by it 0{ a permanent court to which the na­ tions committee chairman^ made , no final adjucation. ', - - ' The resolution of the foreign rela­ tions ocmmittee chairman made no direct mention of the . international court already set up under the aus­ pices of the league ot .-nations, and commended to the senate by Presi- dents'Harding and Coolidge as an in- stitutipniworthy of American support. Instead it proposed to build a tribu­ nal “around the frame-work reared at The Hkgue years ago, with the'judges selected' much after the -manner of .those-dn the court sponsored by the league,' except, that the league, itself would have no. part In the procedure,- while the United States would act with Great Britan, France, Italy and Japan througt a “special committee” having a veto power over ejections. The im m .-iate reaction of the white house and state department to the plan of the republican senate lead­ er was one of absolute silence. If President Coolidge or ' Secretary Hughes ever heard of the proposal be­ fore it was brought forth on the sen­ ate floor officials close to them gave no sign of it. On the contrary there was a plain indication that Mr. Coolidge remained adherence to the existing court of in­ ternational justice as the most prac­ tical tribunal yet devised, and that Mr. .Hughes had not lost hope that despite the attitude of Senator Lodge, the foreign relations committee might re­ port out the adherence plan originally drawn up by the. administration under President • Harding.

Many bees are lost ond chilled when ,thus carrying water for lbeir brood. If there Is no water accessible near at hand it will pay you to supply some. Take n barrel and set it a few feet, from the ground, fill it with water and cover Ilie top so no bees will drown. Then bore a very small hole near the bottom of the barrel and let the water drip on a board. The board should be slanted slightly to cause the water to flow slowly along.

Direct Sunlight Useful to Keep Chicks Healthy "Direct sunshine is necessary to keep chicks healthy,” declares J- G. Halpin of the poultry department, University of Wisconsin. "JIany a farmer’s wife has found her early spring chicks meet with disaster, because they had to be confined.to the basement or away from the direct sun­ light. “Recent experiments show that the direct sunshine contains certain raysj which do not pass through ordinary window glass, but which are necessary to the chick In order to prevent leg weakness. "Green foods, cod liver oil, yolks of eggs have been found to take the place of direct sunshine and should be used specially during cloudy cold weather In the spring. When chicks are out in the sunshine they are safe," he declares. "The yolks of eggs have given the best results and sterile eggs taken out of the Incubator should be used for this purpose.” says Haipin. GovernmentWhitewash Formula Is Very Useful For making what is known as gov­ ernment whitewash, slake a half bushel of lime with boiling water. Cover during the operation to keep In the steam. Strain the liquid lime through a fine sieve or cloth strainer and add to it a peck of salt, which has previously been dissolved with warm water. Then dissolve one pound of glue by soaking well or heating In a double kettle and add to the white­ wash, together with three pounds of rice, pounded fine and boiled to a Paste, and a half pound of Spanish whiting. Tlien place,the compound.in a small kettle, place this kettle In a large one containing Water and bring to a boll.

Ume makes clover and clover makes for soil fertility. This is what A. F. Gustafson of the New York sfate college of agriculture at Ithaca says In pointing out that clover is a most Important crop In' ro­ tations. Without clover, he says, it is difficult and costly to keep the soil well supplied with nitrogen. “Clover and alfalfa,” he adds, “are the cheapest and probably the best source of protein for- dairy cows. These legume says, cut early and cured properly, supply absolutely essential vitamins for cows. Legutnes also pro­ vide lime and phosphorus so neces­ sary for milk production and for the normal development of a healthy calf. Abortion is less likely to be prevalent among cows fed plenty of alfalfa and good clover hay. “Both of these crops need plenty of lime In the soil for falr-growth.. Much of the southern and eastern parts of the state need from one to one and a half, and, on exceptionally sour soils, two tons of limestone, or its equiva­ lent, for red clover. Alfalfa and sweet clover require even more. . "Limestone may ,lie applied on fall- plowed, land .as soon as the fields are dry enough to get on them; it may be worked In while making the seedbed preparatory to drilling the spring grain and clover seed. Burned or hydrated lime may be applied after the soil is dry enough to stir, and should be mixed with the soil very soon after spreading. Any form of lime should be mixed very thoroughly with the soil for best results with either clover or alfalfa. “Good acclimated, domestic northern- grown clover seed is also necessary to obtain a good red clover hay crop.” Keeping Broody Hens on Feed Is Now Advocated Thousands of dollars are lost each year because broody hens are allowed to remain on the nests instead of being made to produce. Some poultry own­ ers resort to starving or ducking their broody hens or withholding water from them, but such treatment Is In­ jurious to the hens and often throws them into an early molt. Better re­ sults will be gained If the "broodies” are given plenty to drink, and if a masli is kept before them all of the time. . Besides, they should have a light feeding of scratch feed twice a day. A broody coop which will help In breaking the birds of. their desire to nest is. also recommended.. It should be built of wire or slats, with the bot­ tom of the same material as the sides and top, and should be placed In the hen house, preferably on the roosts. About twice a week the broody coop can be opened and all the birds al­ lowed to escape. Any -that still seek the nest should be put back In the broody coop. Prepare for Oats With Disk on Com Stubble That it is/ profitable to plow .or disk corn stubble ground for oats is proven by tests made at the Ohio experiment station. . The average yield of the disked land for the 15 years of the experiment was 52.83 bushels per acre and that of the plowed land 52.92 bushels, or almost the same while the stubble land which was disk-drilled as early as the land could be worked, but with­ out any previous preparation of seed­ bed gave only 41.43 bushels per acre. In two very exceptional seasons the no-preparation, seed beds gave the largest yield, although In especially unfavorable seasons the, yields of the unprepared land were less than half that on either the plowed or the disked land. . I ' 1.The plowed land was much freer from white-top weeds In seasons when that winter annual' was particularly bad. Unless the land is in good con­ dition for drilling and free from weeds plowing or thorough disking is the safest practice. Head lettuce requires about 90 days from seeding to maturity.* * . * The best practice'In planting sweet clover is to deed It with barley as a nurse crop early In the spring.» * * ’ The prices for early lettuce are sometimes better than for the last crop, though often the reverse Is true. * *. * A grain drill set to sit.ow about two pecks of wheat will sow about the right amount of sudan grass seed. * * *Tlte statement Is often made that lettuce maturing late in the season, when the weather is cool, <s more like- Iy to be * success than the earlier crroP- V . . . ; If instead of cutting a good, vig­ orous stand" of alfalfa on June I, It is allowed to grow three weeks longer, the yield will often be doubled—one reason why two crops may yield more than three.

A fine example of this year’s approved designing appears at the right of the two coats pictured here.

By way of decora­ tion It has parallel rows of tucks put In with beautiful accuracy indicating the “shirt-front” vogue and finishing the turn-back cuffs and ends of the at­ tached scarf. This is an ideal model for flannel, crepe de chine, linen or fiber silk. Lace yokes and Inserted panels of the same lace extending from yoke to hem are used with plain satin and with foulard In frocks that are equal to any afternoon occasion. Long lines are accented by buttons and simulated This stitching is done with such ac­ curacy and perfection that they guar­ antee the craftsmanship of the design­ er, who might have added much.slmi- 1Iarr stitching, but dlil not; Therefore attention is centered on the artistry of beautiful lines and the becoming­ ness of the model. : JU the left of the picture an ex­ ponent of the black-and-white vogue In coats shows lines that are straight and slim. Many such coats are of crepe marocaln and the white ap­ plique 'may be of fine suede or of a wool fabric that simulates it, but other materials are used for making & buttonholes that follow one another from head to foot.

Q.-Chspmao CHAPTER Xl^-Continued. —15— IVInton, feeling decidedly subordi­ nate, suffered . Ned to give his direc­ tions to his boys. Within a few minutes the natives, lined up in groups, were submitting to the most rigorous inspection devised. Mouths were pried open and tongues pulled up, clothing ripped open, heels broken off patent- leather. dancing shoes. It was a weird scene In the light of the full African moon, and one that impressed Itself on Winton’s mind indelibly. He began to understand Van Beer's viewpoint better, and he realized as never before the volcano of savagery that slumbered beneath the veneer.of civilization in Africa. When the search was at an end, and (lie natives had been driven Into their sleeping quarters. Josephs and 1Ned eatne up to Winton. each bolding out two handfuls of pebbles. Winton looked at them for some seconds be­ fore he realized that they were large diamonds. He stared at them, and then at Ned: and suddenly he shook the old man by the shoulders. “Ned, you've got your speech back I” he shouted. “Do you know that? Speak, man I” Ned opened his mouth, and from his throat, issued a succession of guttural clicks. It was Hottentot—Winton knew that, but no more. , “Speak English, man!” he shouted. But Ned only looked at Winton mournfully. The blow upon the skull bad shattered all but that corner of Broca’s convolution In which the Hot; tentot speech-center had been created. Hottentot Ned could speak; but that would be his sole tongue for the re­ mainder of his years. He began talking rapidly to Jo­ sephs, who listened and translated. “He says, Mr. Garrett," announced the compound manager, "that he warned you at the hospital, and thought you understood. He says that he had suspected Seaton of buying stones from the boys and selling them to De Witt through Van Vorst. He taxed him with It, and Seaton broke down and confessed. That was on the night of the robbery. Mr. Burns meant to tel! you at once, but you had gone to bed early. Seaton must have got word to Van Vorst to finish the job that, night, and next day It was too late.” Too late! The words echoed through Winton’s brain. It had been too late from the beginning; for if he could have understood what Ned had tried to convey to him in the hospital he could have kept control of the Big Malopo. The double handful of stones would have brought him more than Davis had paid him; enough to have made the loan unnecessary. Now he was in the grasp of the syndicate, purser only through Davis’s tolerance; and that was doubtless extended for the present with some ulterior object In view. Winton stared at the dull baubles. If only he could lay his hands upon Sea­ ton the claim might still be his. But how could he support a\ charge of fraud on the single evidence of Ned Burns, given In Hottentot? Suddenly Winton started back, star­ ing through the shadows as if he had seen a ghost. An old man was coming unsteadily through the gateway. It was Seaton himself. He groped his way across the compound, bleary of eye, unsteady of gait, went up to WIntou, and laid a trembling hand upon his arm. “I've come . back," he mumbled drunkenly. "My gal’s gone, and I've done’ with this life of a dog. I’ll be De Witt’s tool no longer. I've come back to take my medicine.” CHAPTER Xll The Trial. It was the general opinion of . the group upon .the stoep of the Continen­ tal that Judge Davls was going to get what had been coming to him for a long time: Bets to that effect were freely offered, and there were very few takers, even at long odds. The forthcoming trial was the sole topic of conversation in Malopo. Everything had combined to favor Winton against the syndicate.. On the very day following Seaton’s return a long-expected proclamation had been made by the high' commis­ sioner, placing Malopo ,under - the' col­ ony’s ,.jurisdiction, and delegating Judge Crawford, who was then liold- Iug sessions at Vryburg, to proceed thither for the purpose of organizing a civil government and hearing all criminal and civil cases. The independent regime had come to an end, to the relief of the settle­ ment, and Judge Dayis was.relegated to his position as magistrate, thereby being eliminated from the pending pro­ ceedings. Public opinion in Malopo, linking up Seaton’s return and arrest with the theft of the big stone, was decidedly hostile to the syndicate. There was no fear of a packed jury. The syndi­ cate’s Influence seemed to have shrunk to nothing. Wintons lawyer was a young Scotchman named Brown, who-hud re­ cently arrived on the diamond-helds; he threw himself into the case with ardor, knowing that success would be his making. AVinton and he. held con­ stant conferences. Winton bad wished to-use Seaton's evidence to. prosecute De W itt,, but -Seaton’s anxiety to have everything thrashed oat was so great, and he cared so little what happened to him­ self, that it was /decided to arrest the old man instead. This would enable him to tell ,his whole story, much of which might otherwise have. been ruled out. It was the general opinion that, when he had finished, the syndi­ cate would be in a bad way. Seaton had wandered into the des­ ert and attempted to find a domicile with one of. the tribes. But he had oeen set upon and. badly beaten. This treatment seemed tp . have aroused his long-dormant manhood. As a culmination to the suffering that he cad endured in the past at De Witt’s hands it seemed to have effected a change in the old man’s nature. A sort of moral strengthening had come over Seaton In jail.' He Iiad refused the prison doctor’s prescription of liquor, and announced his intention of lighting'De Witt to the bitter end. As the days went by the rumor be­ gan to spread that Davis had quar­ reled with De Witt and refused to stand by him. Brown was of that opinion. - "De WItt has known all the syndi­ cate’s secrets for years, and done all its dirty jvork,” be said. “But Duvis is too shrewd to have compromised himself; I believe he will be glad of the opportunity to break with De Witt.” “Why?" “When a rogue like DavIs has used a lesser rogue for years, he’s apt to get tired of him. Davis is an old man and wants to keep his name clean, even at a pecuniary loss.” Winton thought over that aspect of the situation, but it seemed to him more or- less immaterial. If he could win his fight and hold his claim, he meant to realize on it and return to his own country. He felt that he could no longer exist in the land where Sheila lived, dishonored and an out­ cast. He avoided visiting Seaton In jail, but Brown reported that the old man was holding firm In a surprising way. He had been approached by emissaries of the syndicate, and had refused to see them. A few nights before the trial opened Winton received a visit from the last person whom he had expected to see. It was De Witt himself, who came to his cottage just as he was about to retire.- The man looked broken as he stood In the doorway, hat In hand. As Win­ ton rose he came forward, flung It upon the table, and sat down in a chair, breathing heavily. “You think you’ve goi me?” he de­ manded. “I hope so." “See here," De WItt burst out, “what are you playing fori. Is-it .the claim or is it something else?” - ‘You’ll have to see my lawyer.” To the devil with your lawyer. Tvet done with Davis. He’s the erookedest rogue In South Africa. You know what I want, Garrett, and I know what you want. Suppose I turn against DavIs and get you back your claim, will you prosecute?” “My lawyer—" “The devil! I’ve come to you as, man to man. I’ve had blows from you; and I’ve taken them. That’s something no other man can- say. I'll help you out If you’ll help me.” "What do you want 7” “Sheila!" shouted De Witt with an expletive. “I want to know if you’ll give her up. Come, is it a bargain? You’ve got her and you don’t want her. She'd come to me quick enough If it wasn’t for you. Fll give evidence that will return yoU control of the claim if you’ll—” Winton was upon his feet, shaking with rage. ' De Wltt sprang up and grabbed his hat. “Woji’t, eh? Well, TH show you!" he snarled, backing toward the‘door. He was outside before Winton could close with him. Winton hesitated, and then went back into his room and closed the. door. .His nerves were raw and quivering, but he was glad that he had not laid hands upon De "Witt again. The ^Incident aroused In- him a stronger resolve to shake the dust of Malopo from’ Kls feet. But for his resolution not to yield to Davis, to see the thing through, he could hardly have remained . another four, am* twenty hours In the wretched town. But on the morrow he had put Sheila out of his mind for the time being, and was again busy with his lawyer. The day of -the trial arrived. All business in Malopo seemed, to have ceased. The courtroom was packed to its utmost capacity hours before Judge Crawford took his seat on’the bench, while outside an Increasing crowd, which choked the market square, clamored In vain for admis­ sion. The line of horses and vehicles several rows deep,-extended for blocks on each side of the courthouse. Seaton In court presented U very different appearance from the Seaton that MalopO had known and despised Three weeks of abstinence from liquor had made a new man of him and braced him up, so that he was hardly recognizable at first as he strode with a firm step Into the dock. A new suit and clean linen had given him not merely a respectable appearance, but something of the air that he had had In his early days, and as Brown had surmised, this was likely to have its effect upon the Iuty What seemed to interest the specta­ tors most /was the resolute manner In which he returned the look of De Witt who, seated tliough he was among'the witnesses, was In reality, as all knew the defendant He was repiesented by a lawyer, and was the central figure in the courtroom, except, perhaps, Judge Davis. . ' 'The multiplying-and shifting-rumors, which had been flying through Malopo, had settled down - to the/ belief that something dramatic and ; sensational was to be looked for,. Involvtog both De Witt and Davis.The judge was seated In the gallery, where place's had been reserved for a few of the chief men of the town. He was a noticeable figure among the other occupants, as He bent forward from his place In the front row, look-, ing down on the spectators. His keen, Judicial face was as impassive as a mask. Opposite him, on the floor of the courtroom, sat Judge Crawford in Davis’ accustomed seat above the clerk. .. / Crawford was a short, sandy-haired man, a jurist of reputation, with an uncompromising manner. He looked ,like business, and; he meant it Seaton was formally • charged, and the trial began with the reading of his written confession, In which, con­ trary to the general expectation, there was no inculpation of De Witt. It was a short and plain admission of hav­ ing purchased diamonds from the boys on the claim. Then followed the first sensation,,in the appearance of Ned Burns, clicking and grunting, in .the box. - De Witt’s lawyer, intervening, scored the first point against Winton after the physician had explained the na­ ture of Ned’s affliction. “Do you mean to say that Js man is In possession Of his full senses and capable of giving evidence?” he asked. “I do, undoubtedly.” “You admit that there is ~ brain lesion?” “Yes.”- “But you are quite sure that it Is not of a nature to impair his judgment or truthfulness?” “I am absolutely sure.” “How many cases like this have you treated In the course of your experi­ ence?” “None, but I have read—’’ >, “Thank you,” said the lawyer, look­ ing triumphantly at the jury. It was becoming clear that De Witt’s lawyer meant to allege conspiracy on the part of Winton and Seaton against the syndicate. Winton followed with a brief account of the events that had occurred on the night of the robbery, and- the evidence of two or three sub­ sidiary witnesses followed.. When Seaton was placed In the wit­ ness-box the excitement reached fever pitch. “This is your own confession, writ­ ten and signed by you?” asked Brown. ’Yes, sir." “You make this of your own free will, without monetary or other in- “NoT shouted Seaton trilh rndden cnergq. , a! ducement of any kind, and knowing the consequences?" ' “Yes.” “It contains the whole truth; noth­ ing but the truth, and nothing more than the: .truth.?’’' ■ . “It’s all true," answered Seaton. “There’s nothing that, ain’t true In it.” “You Induced Mn Garrett’s boys,, with small sums of money, to bring you the stones; and you sold them to the man . Van Vorst Oh a basis of one- fourth of their carat value, you say?" “I did.” “How much do you compute that you paid to the boys in the form of bribes?” “One hundred and twelve pounds, nine shillings, aijfi nlnepen’ce,” re­ turned Seaton promptly. “Who supplied you with this money?” - . “Mr; De-Wltt there.’" , ' ■ The stir In the courtroom was fol­ lowed by intense silence. ’Your motive was to make money?” “No!” shouted Seaton with sudden energy. “It was fear of that man who has hounded me .for twenty years.” He leaned forward and thrust out his hand toward De Wift, who rose to his feet slowly. His lawyer pulled him down and leaped to his feet. “I object—” he began. “Not sustained,” snapped Crawford. “In what way, and why, has Mr. De Wltt hounded you?” inquired-Seal ton’s lawyer., “Are you willing to waive privilege and make a full state. ment to this court?” “Yes, I’ll tell you," cried- Seaton. ‘That’s what I come back for, because I'd rather be a dead dog on a gibbet than a jackal any longer. I’m going to end this game. Tve played It too long. He’s driven me from plllir to post fpr years,, making me do his dirty: work .for him. -.He made me betray the secret of the new amalgam process on the Rietfonteln ip Johannesburg: He’s used roe;llke that, and when I’ve warned him-;he ,.was..driving me too far he’s laughed at me and told nW I’ / could swing If I preferred to, and by Hod I’m going to.- He made me tell h^ I object to; this evidence!’! Bhouted- De Witt’s lawyer. "These allegations against my . client are totally irrele­ vant, and made to arouse prejudice— “Objection ' sustained,” said Judge Crawford. . "The witness wlU confine himself to evidence bearing upon the alleged th e f t- th e stones. ' "Tell the Oourt the story of your relations with :Mr.. De Witf In so far as they relate to your ; theft of the diamonds,” said Brown. _ “When I came to Malopo,” answered Seaton, “my gal had Wrote me that Mr. De WItt was gone-for good. So I went back. But I met him In the coach going up from' Taungs. Mt. Gar­ rett was there, and there was a bit of - an argument between them. The next morning, after we had arrived, Mr. De Witt came to me and offered me a job bit the Big Malopo. Then Mr. Garrett got the control, and I asked Mr. De Wltt for another job. I knew what was coming, but I was in want, and I had to get something, even from him. He told me to go to Mr. Garrett and ask him to make me com­ pound manager, and I’d get the place. I knew what was wanted. It was the West Rietfonteln. over again—” Judge Crawford’s gavel fell just as De Witt’s lawyer sprang toNhis feet again. - . ■ “The jury will disregard all evidence concerning other relations between Mr. De Witt and the. defendant,” he said. . "Omit all further references to other jobs that you have done for Mr. De Witt,” said Brown. The gavel fell again. “Mr, Brown, you will abstain from suggesting the existence of other re­ lations between the defendant and Mr. De Witt,” said the judge.. There followed an animated discus­ sion. The jury, who had been follow­ ing the evidence intently, looked bored and. disappointed, and paid no atten­ tion to the dispute. ‘D e Witt promised me he’d leave me alone,” continued. Seaton, when he was permitted to resume. “But after we’d 'begun to . excavate anyone who knew anything, about diamonds .could see that- the main pipe was either on our claim or pretty nigh us. Then Van lVorst came to me and said Mr. Gar­ rett was green to the business and there was a chance to make money. I refused,-.and1'sent-him away. “He come back, and he was always after me, trying to get; me to drink, but I was trying my hardest to make good to Mr. Garrett. At last he come to me . and said De W ttt was behind him, and the syndicate behind De Witt, and if I come to heel there’d be good money in It, but If I didn’t De Wltt would stick his' knife In me. I knew what that m eant” “What did it mean?” asked Brown. . “I object' to. that question,” shouted De Witt’s lawyer. ■" “The witness ' wlil confine himself strictly to testimony bearing upon the alleged diamond theft” “He’ll say something before he can be stopped.” ' f • “In that case,” said the judge bland­ ly, “the jury will disregard the evi­ dence at my instructions.” “Your honor, you know perfectly well they can’t." “Sit down, sir!” “In my client’s interest—” began the lawyer. “Mr. Lange, your client Is not on trial. Your status In this case is one of courtesy only.” • “Tell the court what hold Mr. De Witt had over yoii, In so far as It has reference to the robbery,” said Browk quietly. "Aye, I’ll tell.’ That’s what I come for,” answered Seatbn, fixing his eyes on De Witt, who returned his stare with a sneering smile. ' At this juncture- alt eyes were turned, with a simultaneous impulse, toward Judge Davls In the gallery. The old man sat there Impassively, his ,square Beard thrust out from, his' scrawny chid ; -lie seemed the least affected of any of the spectators. “It was twenty-three years ago,” Seaton began. "I was prospecting for diamonds In Griqualand. Them was Yheoariy days, and there-wasn’t much law o r order In the country. Fd been out after stones, but I hadn’t found none. . “There was’a lot of us prospectors- on. the trail of what turned out after­ ward to 'b e the West Griqua ffline, which waa grabbed by the syndicate. None of us had been successful, and we’d fixed up a sort of base camp, where we’d rest up when we returned, to get rid of our veld sores and fever.

To Bring These Worthlies Before Court How Might Hurt Democrats in Nov- cinber Election. . I; his been almost a year since that iviritic Democratic crash in Ko-vnn county when the-Peoples Na­ tional Haiik-. of Salisbury, went to lie -veil, t,ie ^irst National Bank at Spencer, was closed. State banks at Koclt-veil ant1 Granite Quarry shut u , ^hiui- the trail reached into V;r- piiiia mid closed a bank at Qiantico, several cotton mills went to the wall, y, t no one has yet been punished and it looks like they never -will be come one has said that it is easier fjr a c imel to go through a needles eve than to convict a banker in Norih Carolina who has political in- fljence. and the facts certainly bears oiit the case. A dispatch from Creens- boro, say that the trial of tie -charges against J. D. Norwoad, J_ Kemp Dnughton and M. L . Jadkson who were indicted by a federal court jury on the. charge of violating the national banking laws-will not. I e held in June. If everything is rear y by federal curt jury on the charge of violating the national banking laws will not be held in June. If everything is ready by the October learm of court they will be tried in Salisbury, if not they will be tried in Greensboro in December. -It is a safe bet that they will not be tried anywhere until after the November election, if at. all. Norwood a t the time of the grand bust was chairman of the State Democratic executive Committee. It took a lot of prizing to got him loose from that job, but he finally yielded. Kemp Doughton; the expresident of the wrecked bank is the son of Commissioner of Reve­ nue, R. A. Doughton, who, is on the= Democratic ticket for re-election. It was stated 4t the tim e of the failure that the State revenue commissioner had a lot of the State’s money on de- purit in the bank. W hether the State has ever recovered, this money has never been made known. When Democratic Lieutenant Governor Cooper’s bank went- to the wall in Wilmington, Commissioner A. D, Watts, of fragrant memory, had something over $5,000 of the State’s money on deposit there. The Demo­ cratic legislature reached down in the jiockets of the taxpayers and forgave V\ atts that money and he ilidd't have it to pay. We' presum e the next legislature will do the same thing by Pa Doughton on account of the busting of son Kemp’s bank. Iiuttheieform er bank official will iiot be tried until, a fte'r the election. It tniglu hurt the dear (?) old partv. A. I, Smoot, another ex office holder in Rowan, and a Democrat, was cashier of the bank at the tim e of,its demise and has'not even been indict­ ed Norwood is out under a $15,000 bund and Doughton and Jackaon a Inrnd of $10,000 each ' Ex. ■ Dad’s Several Nam es.

F ertilizer or Power? It is interesting to observe the different views as to the possibili­ ties of the Muscle Shoals- develop-' ment, brought out in the testimony, of wituesses before the Senate com­ m ittee on agriculture, which is con­ sidering offers to lease the shoals.. T he promise of cheaper fertilizers, caught the favor of the farmers, and m uch of the support for Ford has come froiu the farm ers; who believe, or were led to believe, that the Detroit wizard, would produce at Muscle Shoals vast quanities of fertilizers that "would be sold at a m uch lower price than the prevail­ ing rate. L atterly one class'has contended that fertilizer business at Muscle Shoals was a dream .that has passed and is no Songer to be considered; th at the only .concern now is the distribution of electric power from the A labam a'project. N orth Carolinians who appeared before the committee recently stres­ sed that point. A citizen of Gas­ tonia declared that by 1930 the elec­ tric power possibilities in this State will have been exhausted,'a state­ ment that is som ewhat surprising.; T he electric power supply in this State is uot keeping up w ith the dem and for it, said the Gastonia citizen,-w hich is a recognized fact; H e therefore'iirged the im portance of. m aking th.e power supply -from Muscle Shoals available to N orth .Carolina industry. T he point is well, taken. T he Muscle Shoals project" is governm ent property iii which mil lions of. the' public's iInonl ey'has been expended. ; It should be developed fo r the public,good; and whoever g etsJt”shqnld be re­ quired to give, the public a: square ,deal in the distribution of its product A nother witness, an engineer who declared that he had made an actual test of Muscle Shoals possibilities, declared that the probable produc­ tion of power there was greatly, over estimated- Instead qf the 850,- 000 horsepower estim ated this en­ gineer fifiures th at the am ount will be 241,000 horsepower of commer­ cial current the year round. To produce Jh e 45,000 tons of fixed nitrogen annually, which require 257,000 horsepower, w hich to pro­ duce, will' mean th a t'a u auxiliary steam plant will be required for the production of fertilizer- alone. Therefore, this engineer. contents, Congress m ust decide w hether M ns cle Shoals will be used for the pro- duction of fertilizer or power. To supply both is impossible. r : ' T he expectation had been th at the Alabam a project would supply an.abudance of fertilizer and pow­ er.; M aybe its j possibilities have bfeen overrated. T he iueoceut— and ignorant — bystander, which in­ cludes near all of us, is left 4Iup in the air” abput. this M uscleShoals business; T he testim ony is so con­ tradictory, m uch of'it of course col ored by self-interest an d . bias: and some by lack of knowledge, th at we are left in doubt./Tt is the busi­ ness of Congress to find the_ facts and m ake a trade for the . best in­ terest Of the public. -B ut Congress is m ade-up of all sor.s of folks who m ay be influenced in one way or a- nother, " or-, honesty, deceived.

" • - We went-to the place where this school house had stood. We were told th at it; was a-m odern school building,.well equipped, such as any community m ight have been proud of. T t was a two story wooden structure with ah auditorium eri the second floor, where the teachers and pupils were assembled rehearsing theiriproeram for the closing day of school when the principal saw . the storm approaching and ordered all to go down stairs.- - Many Of them were.out of the building when the crashcam e, though some were, yet inside. And to say th a t the building is now a complete wreck doe3 hot half" tell the story, With the exception of a -part of the first floor which Ties near its original place the school house is to rn . into splinters and gone Even the largest pieces of.the fram ing are not there. Tney are aituaUy torn to pieces, and along with the spliqtered boards, battered galvanized shingles, pieces of s :bool desks, fragm ents of black­ boards, children’s hats and caps, bat­ tered lunch boxes, and ta-.tered s -hiiol boxes are strew n far along the path of the stp rm ., The ground has the appearance of having been sw ept by high w aters Everything is leaning-In the same direction,- while drifts of the debris are collect­ ed against stable objects. The big bell lies about a hundred yards away, while a part of the piano lies near the pillows of the school house. - , T hew orst Of the destruction lies within a fairly clear cut path of a- bout one hundred yards in width, the' school house being near /th e center. Though much damage was done outside of this path, and even within a mile many trees-are up­ rooted and. buildings slightly damag ed. Most of the residences in Steed man were dam age!, more or less, but we saw only two that were com­ pletely destroyed and they were hear the school house. The church was torn down, but it lay where it fell. T helittle viilage was yery quiet. Not many of the villagers were to be seen. Though many cars w ire coming in from other places, headed for the site'-of the school-- building. I talked with a half sister - of Dohty Hall, the nineteen year old boy who lost his life while holdiding open the school house door for the children to get on.ti She said, she was in the building when it fell, but was only slightly injured. According to her statem ent only four children of the seventy -four childreu in the school that day escaped qnbeart. The.tornado is said to have passed through Steedman at eleven twenty- five o’clock, ancT was of five m inutes duration. At this-lime I was atm y home about twenty-five miles North Here it was dark and threatening with a moderate shower of rain. We were not aware th at anything un- usal was happening. MRS. G.

To the explorer, prospector, scien­ tist, trapper or hauler of mail and supplies who must go north of the Tukon river basin, one of the great­ est winter hazards Is the lack of timber for firewood. In some locali­ ties the only timber Is aspen, common­ ly called poplar, scrub spruce and stunted brush. ' When a man faces 50 degrees below zero In sleeping bag hnd canvas tent, he requires a big log fire and abundant fuel.to keep It going. When the Arc­ tic blizzard sweep's down, man and ^ieast are compelled to seek shelter. In the bitterest cold few lungs.can withstand the “scorching” atmosphere that -appears to sear them like a flame while the blood Is turning to ice. “Frozen” lungs are not uncommon, but' there are certain precautions that mln-, lmlze the danger. Equipment for Journey. The equipment includes three pairs of heavy woolen socks on each foot; underwear /and shirt of wool, but of medium weight; mittens augmented by buckskin slipovers and a drill parka, Its hood faced with wolverine fur, which does not gather frost and freeze where the. breath strikes It. Thei muskrat or beaver cap has flaps to pull down, qver - the ears and . under the chine The shoes frequently are moOse- hock mukluks. At no time must any portion of the flesh save the eyes be exposed to the frost,-'and. even the eyes must be pro­ tected when facing a ,blizzard. Travel­ ers usually augment this “light” equip­ ment -with a complete suit of rein­ deer furs. Submission to the cold of the Arctic has a different effect than might be Imagined. Instead of a shivering and a gradual agonizing process of freez­ ing, the frost overcomes one sudden­ ly . and almost painlessly. - There Is a numbness in the more ex­ posed portions, like the feet, legs an<i hands. Later the jaw becomes stiff, nearly Immobile. A minute’s exposure of a partly cold hand to low tempera­ tures causes the fingers to become stiff and without feeling. It is as if they had gone to sleep. The man In dan­ ger o f, death. from, freezing is over-, taken by a rather pleasant lethargy. A danger Is found In becoming over­ heated and then tarrying to cool-off. Even when'the temperature Is 50 be­ low, one’s bqdy perspires If all orifices of the clothing are - closed. If there pre any holes In the equipment, the cold penetrates like the flame from a blowpipe, boring In rather than spread­ ing.. How Death Steals on Them. One may have a spot the size of a dime frozen on a finger where there is a hole In-glove or mitten, and the rest of the hand then becomes numb. In stopping for rest, the uninitiated often tarry too long, and on arising wonder ,why the limbs refuse to function with their wonted suppleness. After several such halts, further progress becomes a struggle, and-unless a. fire is available Immediately the chances of freezing are great ; . Frozen hands or toes are treated In the time-honored-way of rubbing them !with snow until the circulation is're­ stored.

Leeray, Tex.—Four years ago Lee­ ray had 10,000 inhabitants, boasted of theaters, banks, hotels, dance halls, churches, schools and a chamber of commerce. Now It has only broken windows In'the few deserted buildings left standing on silent, streets. The boom came in 1920 with the discovery of oil. Leeray was just open, prairie then, but within six months there grew, a city, pulsating with the colorful, vivid life that marks every oil town. Within a year salt water flowed Into the wells and none of them turned out big producers. The In­ habitants departed almost as suddenly as they came, many tearing down buildings and shipping the material and1 others ‘hauling buildings overland to newlocatlons. . Postmistress on Job. But Leeray lived while It lived. It had Its full share of exciting times, with'- more melodrama than routine. But all the actors have gone. AU but one.

Buteveryone knows that to be healthful and easily digested, bis­ cuits must he carefully maile and properly baked, : ’'Happily, .my experience has shown that it fa almost impossible to make poor biscuits with _ self-rising flour j” writes a housewife of Blythe- .!wood, S. C. ttMy biscuits in the North, made with' ordinary flour, were invariably a failure, but : ' I can truthfully say diat when I 'use self-rising ■r flour the reverse is the case. . . Through a • number of years’ experience I have foimd self- . rising flour to be all and more than its manufac- rturers claim it to be. . . ■. Its convenience and economy-in saving both time and labor can hardly be over-estimate«£” Because it simplifies the w ork'of baking and . practically eliminates failures, self-rising flour a ■ the most economical flour you. can ,use.

Her husband was a representative of one of the big min­ ing companies, what had got wind of us being on .the trail of something, and sent him up,to.investigate. He was away for days at a time, and the woman was all alone In the camp. “I got into trouble over her. Her * husband come back and found us to­ gether. He tried to shoot me, but I was handier, and I got the drop on him and killed him. “We three was 'alone In the camp at the time: the woman, me, and the man I’d killed. It was a wild coun- ti*y, but murder was a game no man could afford to get up against. We left him lying there and took the horses and rode for our/ lives. “He had friends, and they set the police on to us. We got away, though, and made for the native territories. You know ,how I came to be a sort of chief there! ‘King’ Seaton, Tm called, all over the country. After a while I come baek. I thought it had been forgotten. t “It ought to have been, but De Witt had known me In the old days and he recognized me. And he’s held me In his power ever since by threaten­ ing me with the law. So that's how I come to steal Mr. Garrett’s dia­ monds.” . “What did .you do with the woman?’’ shouted De Witt, springing to his feet and waving his arms furiously. “You’ve told the court this much— now go on and tell the rest I” Judge Crawford hammered with his gavel, but the uproar in the court was too loud for him to make his words heard. Some were hissing, others try­ ing to howl them down. But all through the scene. Judge Davls sat, impassive and still, in his place in the gallery. ; De Witt pushed his lawyer away. “There’s more to the story by a d—n sight,” he shouted. “You’ve beard that much, and now. I’ll tell the rest!” "You can be heard at the proper time, Mr. De Witt I” cried the judge angrily. , . v “There’s no time . like this,” an- BWfred De Witt - defiantly, striding forward. “Put me In the witness- box!” he shouted to Brown. “Put me there if you dare, and I’ll tell the Jury the rest of It.” Brown, nonplused over this new de­ velopment, hesitated. But a glance at the faces of the jury showed him that he could not decline the chal­ lenge. He nodded to Seaton,- who stepped down. De Witt entered the boz. The clerk handed him the testa­ ment, but De Witt brushed it aside, and now, so keen was the interest, even the presiding judge failed to no­ tice the irregularity. “I’ll tell you what I know,” shouted De Witt, addressing himself to Davis In the gallery. “You’ve thrown me over after I've worked for you these ten years and more, you smug old canting hypocrite!” he cried. “Look at him! There .he sits; clean and sanctimonious, like a little tin god up in the skies!” Judge Davis certainly did look sanc­ timonious. His eyes were fixed upon De Witt’s gravely. To those on the floor of the courtroom Judge Davis looked at that moment the very type • of the - Pharisee. But some of those near him in the gallery noticed that the old roan's eyes had in them a look of strained horror, as if he was ex­ pecting some 'dreadful revelation., “I’m done with jW now!” cried De Witt, Binging out’ his arm with a '•sweeping gesture. "He knew what I . was doing for him; he knew from the first to last every bit of the dirty work that nobody else would do. But he wouldn’t soil his own hands with it. He wouldn’t listen to the details. It was always, ‘Go ahead, De-Witt, . if you think "it proper, but'don’t do anything unrighteous or uncharitable.’ Uncharitable I There’s not* a single . drop of charitable, blood In- the old scoundrel’s body! , 1 “Yes, he knew everything, gentle­ men, and yet “there was one .thing that, he didn’t know, and now his turn has come, and he’s going to know it.

The' old man staggered In the ,dock. The lawyer put an arm about .,him to steady him; and, leaning back' against the supporting shoulder, . Seaton watched De Witt, whose last blow had been the culmination of all his years of persecution. But the old man In the gallery rose slowly to his feet and thrqst out his hand. Ilie square white beard -worked up and down. as. the jaws champed. He raised his arms, and for a second the motionless old figure and the old figure below looked at each other fixedly. Then, with a strangled cry, Judge Davis dropped unconscious. CHAPTER Xlll W - I Death’s Harvest. Winton; was only vaguely, aware 'pf the quick termination of the trial, with Its expected, though, illogical vjrdlct of “not guilty.” He saw Judge Davis lifted and carried out by his support­ ers;'saw De Witt, his face'twitching nervously at the1 verdict, stride from- the courtroom I then he was pushing his own way outside among the ex­ cited, buzzing groups, and perceived old Seaton moving slowly among the crowd, which parted to make way for the man whose tragedy affected them with 'horror. -, . “Where are you going. Daddy T” asked, one man, trying- to stop him. “I’m going to find my gal,” mumbjed Seaton., “Slie's been all. I’ve had. Maybe I ain’t-her father, but I’m going to her;” Slowly he walked away, and nobody attempted to stop him. Winton. after a moment of doubt, realised th 'i it would be useless for him, to ,interfere. He watched Seaton’s departure with a mind that was too numbed to enable him to understand the .fullness'of his success. There was no doubt that the legality of the syndicate's. acquisition of his shares could now be questioned. .He could regain the majority and keep control, if-. Seaton's . acquittal were, followed, as It must be, by De Witt’s arrest and his conviction. But there was more than that. Wlnr ton began to realize, In a dazed sort of way, that the dlcclosure had given him Sheila. He knew she loved 'him, in spite of all her bitterness In the past. He would go to her, make her bis wife, and take her home to his own country, where the past should never trpuble her. He was brooding over this when ' e heard two revolver shots ring out In quick succession. Looking up, he dis­ covered that lie was.alone.. The crowd, was running toward the south side of the square, where there seemed to be soine' commotion. Winton saw e struggle In progress; the heaving' shoulders of a horse appeared, above the crowd; and suddenly the horse.and. its rider er erged at a furious ,gallop, scattering the crowd right and left. Throhgh the gap thus formed Win- ton could see a -mail lying upoB- the ground, resting on his eihow. His hand ,.’clutched a revolver.' ' The rider was De Witt. Amid the yells of . the mob he dashed'In a 'cloud of dust across the. market square and turned down the, street leading to the new . suburb. The horse bounded across the rivulet, topped the. ridgs of the diamond ground, and disappeared. The fallen man 'was being helped to hi? teet. He' staggered in* the arms of his supporters, and the. blood was Streaming from a bullet-wound In his Shoulder. . .. Wlnton- gathered what haji occurred from, the .excited conversation that followed.: The sheriff-had attempted to arrestU e Wltt on ,the strength of. a court order hastlir, secured. Be Witt, who had had a swiit horse ready outside, In the anticipation, of just Sucjf a' contingency, had. shot the sheriff and.* galloped away. \ •. So' swift, wfts the maneuver that Malopo found itself totally unable to cope' .with the situation. There was' wild talk of forming a posse to purr stte the :outlaw. But De Witt’s hor:? was.the fastest In Malopo; and, -u In the case* of Van Vorst, pursuit seemed Impracticable. Whlie an impromptu mass meeting was beinj; Held JlTinton made his way. back to the claim. He- understood now all that th.^ verdict meant to him, and the tlidught of Stella filled his heart . It was growing dark. Barly thenext BiomInK he mearit to ride’out Into the hills and" bring her back' with - him, and they should never be parted Nagain.. Se thought- with InBnite pity of.her sufferings, with tenderness of her loyialtyi It- seemed most, fit that his lips'sho^d be-tbe first, to tell her what, would remove the dark cloud from her I forever. - ; As Winton turned Into the toad that led toward hia claim.-there/came* the sudden sputtering* of heuvy drops, and: then, a deluge.

An unreality hurfg over the past; It Sfemed - as If everything had been a dream since the night In Shei­ la’s house. 1 Winton was about to go to bed when there came a feeble tap at the door. When he opened It he saw Judge Dar vis standing there, wet through. , He was shocked at ,the change In the judge’s, ispect. He seemed to have ageu a' dozen years; he was an old, broken man. - He came forward uncertainly and sat down. Winton tried to get him to take off bis wet clothes, but the judge shook his head vacantlyi as if he hardly un­ derstood. “ You remember .what we talked about that day?” he asked, with noth­ ing In his voice in the - least like a quaver, “That day I came to you for the loan?" . _ % “About gaining the whole world and losing one’s soul? Mr. Garrett, I lost , my soul .long ago. *1 thought; r<! gained the whole world, but it’s ail slipped away—it’s all slipped away.” •. “You’ve found what you I wanted most, judge,” said Winton, pitying the old man with^all' his heart. “You’ve found your daughter:” And suddenly, the conviction was' borne In upon him that the old queen of the ..village-was Diavis’. wife. The shodt of the realization was paralyz­ ing. He said nothing .of this—how could he tell him-that his wife was lining? He said nothing as the. judge went on; “Yes, I’ve found her. I’ve been a fool and Tve been punished,-but all the past is finished now. -I used to pray, Mr. Garrett, that dod’s yen- geance might overtake the mother; but God must have dealt with her years ago, and It's myself He’s taken, vengeance on. Aye, He’s mocked me and made a fool of m e.' But I’m going to find my girl ar I take her away. I know where she Is.' She’s living with Nkama's tribe, up In the hills. My God, to think of my child Uving like an outcast among the Kafirs!” He- stood up and clenched his fists furiously. “I was face to face with Seaton today, and I didn’t kill him,V he- said. “Let him cross my1 path again and he’ll die!” “He didn’t know,” said Winton. “He wronged me. He brought, all this on me. That snake De WItt is nothing. ' I care nothing about his “llouws found what you uianlcd most, judged Mid TPinton. part in It .

That’s what-1 came to'tell you.” ' / .v, y.'. “Then Tll be ready,; judge,’’ said Winton. .. ' ■•-' ' Y <■" • The old man went .out silently, leav­ ing. Winton pondering still more deep­ ly., B uthe realized that Judge Davis’ blalni was. prior to his own. And he tried to view -the matter unselfishly, though a fierce jealousy: tortured him at the thought that he, -who had stood, by the girt In her extremity, should have to yield to the- man who I had pereecuted her. - When he. went out.' et^ly.. 1» the morning Judge Davls . was just turn­ ing 'into the compound., He was’ mounted on si big bay,' and appeared ;much' ,the same as usual. Winton, who had beeh a IJttle alarmed at his -appearance> th# night before, , was assured. He saddled highorse and, mounted, and ,-the two rode silently out Into th^ desert !Ehe^csm^warf JiBtotf to a crown of flerycloud*.! There were pools ©< rali] and the freshnew of the ■Ir was • ^ellghtful contrast to th* .. I H l long drought Cloud-banks were al­ ready heaping up in the sky, but there was not likely to be another downpour, until nightfall; the .first rains are not continuous, as In later weeks. The day promised' intense heat,, but the long, rolling ridges ol the desert had already a sub-tinge of greeoi Hour after hour, the two men rode side by side. Occasionally Winton Ventured some remark^ but the judge hardly answered him;.-he. was brood­ ing, with his head, sunk on-bis breast. Winton* was lost in' dreams Of §hella. After a long time, In the brolllngj heat, of the noon sun, he saw the faint out-, lines of the distant hills "before him. First they were-a blue line against the sky, then a patch of green against the brown of the desert. He pointed them out to , his companion, but the judge only looked up, nodded, and re- ! sumed his brooding. Presently he raised his head, and Winton was alarmed to s«e the light of the^deadly purpose in his eyes; 1 I '"H e’ll make for there, Garrett,” he said. * “Seaton?” ■ Judge DavIs nodded." "They told me last night,” he 'answered. “That’s why I wanted to give him a’ night’s^ start. He’ll-have made that place by now. I’ve been there—long ago. We’ll meet. It will-he the fulfillment,of a quest that- occupied a great part of my time years ago, Garyett; I 'put it aside, but I never abandoned it aljo- gether,; and now Tve taken* Itl up again.” ■ - It occurred to Winton that If Jndge Davis went mad, he would go mad .In precisely that idol; methodical way. He wondered If he was armed, and what he would do. If he and Seaton m et And he cursed himself for not having reflected that such a meeting was highly probable;: 1 • >. ' . He had a' fleeting Idea of attempt­ ing physical restraint, |>ut he aban­ doned the idea instaiiitfy. Whatever needed to be done must be done when the time arrived. ' . : ► The- distant hills grew- nearer.; Green, valleys and precipitous heights ap­ peared. , The sun was at the zenlth% The horses - walked 'with hanging heads, panting. , Not a living thing appeared bn the yast plain except the steeds and their riders. , ^But presently Winton caught sight of something on the far horizon that looked like a vast flock of sheep. Yet surely no man ha^ ever owned so large a herd. It formed a wide arc, miles In length, along, the edge of the desert. _ It was1 a mirage, o£ course. But, even so,, somewhere the' reality ex­ isted;-and Winton, more puzzled than ever, followed it with his eyes is he rofie on, wondering wh en it' would dls-. appear. It did not disappear. The entire herd seemed moving In the di­ rection of the hills, aow about four miles away, traveling alm'ostr-parallel ,with the horses, yet with sufficient in­ clination to make it probable that. If it were' indeed a real herd,' It would pass into the valley toward whlch the riders were making. At . last Winton called the judge’s attention to the .‘flock. ,But Judge Da­ vis, seeming hardly to be .aware of his . presence, shook himself impa­ tiently, and rode on, Immersed In his morbid introspection!. - , ( The flock' appearedV-to^ keep pace with the horses, and It was ’ now dearly converging toward' Oie pass. Winton, watching It, abandoned the Idea that It was a mirage. - Yet it, could not poaslbly.be any, man's fiock/ There were hundreds of thousands,ol the animals, moving, apparently, without herdsmen. , The' Vfflleyi 'openedu before .them, Winton * recognized his" location; the native village was not far away. The riders, were already, ascending Into th« foothills. As they {rounded one of ,the bases of ’the mountain chain, Winton looked back, and saw. the herd much nearer. Then It. was lost to' sight, and5 he thought : no ' longer of theprodigylnthinkingofShella. They rode afbng the w'indlhg pass, ascending, : descending,, until at last the cluster of beehive , huts appeared in the: distance. ' -.v .

Pullets are the mtist profitable part of the laying flock, and a well-balanced laying, ,.flock Siouldv consist of: at least half ptillets ; which, allows careful cull­ ing of tlie .hens during the summer and fall before the pullets are matured, according to the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture. BabJ chicks; need especially careful attention In breeding and feeding dur­ ing the first weeks of their lives, which should -be followed by careful and reg­ ular 'attention throughout their grow­ ing period. Early hatched chicks are by fpr the most profitable—whether grdwn to maturity for. laying or sold as poultry flesh. The brooder house and stove heater Vhich are used for caring for the 'chicks during the- first few weeks of their lives, must be In working order .before the chicks arrive. The • most common style of brooding is the. use of a stove brooder in-a colony hpuse, keeping from 350 to 500 chicks In * flock In each house, and placing the -houses about 15» feet apart«pn a good grass range' A house 10x14 feet makes a; suitable colony house'which can be easily moved,if built on run­ ners. Chicks blooded In the winter will do better In a larger house, about 10x20, partitioned so that one side Is used for a .brooder stove'and the other for a cool exercising room.- Wire net­ ting should be placed In the corners of th e" brooder . house to prevent the_ chicks huddling" and crowding In the corners. Chicks should not be fed for the first 86 to 48 hours, after which they should be supplied regularly four or five times "dally , with easily digested feed Which contains little waste material. They should be .fed sparingly- until, about the 1 fifth day ; then they can be ptit on full ration: An excellent feed can be made of Infertile eggs -taken from the incubator, boiled for 15 minutes, chopped and mixed with dry mash of equal parts of cracker tneal, bran' and comm'eal, using a sufficient amount of the grain' to make a dry, crumbly mixture. Middlings can be used' In place of, the cri»cker ineal.. Diy rolled oats are excellent for chicks and can be used -as one feed, the other twp or three feeds being the commercial chick grains. * At two weeks of age the chicks ran be given a dry mash, In a. hopper; con­ sisting of 4 parts by weight of, rolled oats, 2 parts bran, ,2 parts coriuneal, I part high-gra^e meat !scrap, I 'part middlings and % part dried buttermilk. Commercial ehlck feed should be' fed three times dally In addition to the dry mash., Milk is an excellent feed' for chicks and' should be provided either as ft liquid or- In the dry - form to secure best grjjwtli. If liquid JnllkMs avail­ able the 'dried milk can be. omitted. When the chicks are. one month old they should,-be-fed a coarser or Inter­ mediate chick grain,* and a t about two months of age the scratch feed can be changed to equal parts of wheat and cracked corn. This should be fed two or three times a day. . Concrete Floors Avert Dampness in Quarters .: Many farmers who In former years lost money in poultry raising are now making it a success,’all because they are learning Ijj^t clean, dry quarters for pojiltry .keep : the flocks healthy and result In larger egg production and better birds for the market. ... A chicken coop with a floor that is likely to become ..muddy In .wet weather arid to become a source of dust In dry weather is not conducive," to healthy poultry. , Concrete floors - are now being laid In chicken coops In increasing; num­ bers. . Thev farmer has . found that these floors save hiis flock -In :many ways by prevention of mud and dust, and by .checking the. rat menace. Con­ crete1 floors prevent rats .burrowing under the. coops if the floors .are sur­ rounded by a low concrete wall about 18 Inches liigh.

I IVInton galloped through the ad: I tance guard In pursuit of Davis, who I was far In advance of him and ~ear- j lag the village. He emerged out of. Ithe pass suddenly, almost Into the I middle space among the beehive huts. The village appeared deserted, ex- fcept for an old man and ah aged I aoman who had crouched over the (embers of a dying fire. The woman I was the old queen of the tribe; the IinllU was Seaton. He rose and faced I Davis, IVlnton saw the Judge’s hand -tight- Ien upon Ills revolver. But suddenly Ithe weapon was lowered. The Judge Iwas looking Into the old woman’s face; Ihls own seemed to become rigid as ,a Jplaster cast, and he noticed Seaton no I longer. "So It Is you, Amy?”'-he said. “I Jhavb found you at last?” “Tes, it Is I,” answered the woman Iln a strange guttural voice, speaking las If the words were difficult to pro- Ijounce. “I have come to take you home, |mjr dear; you and the child.” “Home?” mumbled the old woman. “Home," the judge repeated Impa- ltlently, passing his hand acroSB his ltorehead. “How long ago It seems since you Sweat away! Tou must have been 111, Bi think. Ot perhaps it is L Bring lour baby; I want to see her. What Illd we call her? I have forgotten.’.’ “I forget what we called her,” an- liwered the old woman; “but she Is !called Sheila now.” “A pretty name,” answered the !Judge. As he spoke, Sheila came out of one I the huts. She fixed her eyes on Vinton In Inquiry; he could see that [Seaton had told her the truth. Then ihe looked at Davia She stepped Jloward him. 1 “I am here," she said In a low (rolce. Judge Davls did not appear to no­ tice her. “I wish she would come,” he said. I'She must be a big girl by now. phere Is she, Amy?” . "I don’t know,” muttered the worn- , passing her hand across her fore- lead. I And VVlnton knew that the past weaty years had been completely JMlterated from Judge Davis' mpm- He had no notion that It was |li own daughter who stood before |hn. if the old woman had kept her fits, they were gone now, perhaps through the shock of the meeting, •ud a strange metamorphosis had |»ffle over her. The withered old fotnan assumed the attitude of . one §f thirty years. There was a vivacity i her gestures. , 1 Hl go home with you now, my she said, advancing and laying iur hand upon the horse's neck. “I wo been waiting such a long time lr you.

'TH carry the child, and you 111 ride my horse Where Is she? «t a moment, though, Amy; there fas something else I had to do.” Seaton, recognizing the situation, stolen quietly away toward. a of rocks behind the village.

In his pocket; but, bending forward over his horse’s neck, stretched out his hands, which worked convulsively, as If to rend his enemy to pieces. After them poured the tor­ rent of *hoofs and horns, two hundred thousand springbuck surglhg like an irresistible • tide- under, the impulse of the migrating instinct. It swept be­ tween Wlnton and Davis, cutting them asunder; and Wlnton, checked on a little knoll, remained a helpless spec­ tator of what followed, as incapable of interfering or rendering aid as If he were marooned upon an island amid a surge of living waters. All arounid him tossed the red bod­ ies, and hts horse, snorting with fear, reared and plunged, so that it required all his skill that he might keep his seat and not be flung down, to be gored and trampled on. He saw the judge grasp at Seaton and half pull him from his saddle. Seaton screamed and tore himself free. Then the flood of the spring­ buck swept In between them and -drove them along; not ten paces apart, but isolated and helpless In tlie living stream. Their horses moved automatically, carried on by the momentum of the vast herd, which filled the valley be­ hind and had spread over the face of the desert as tar as could be seen. The swirl through the neck of the pass had all the force of those un­ countable numbers behind it, It was like water forced through a hose pipe. Iron gates could not have withstood It Wlnton saw the judge and Seaton swept upward, where the pass as­ cended toward the summit of the prec­ ipice. The herd gained the plateau. But there'was *no -other exit. It was nearing the edge of the acclivity. ' Then, without any perceptible check, the foremost files of animals leaped to destruction upon the rocks below. For an instant Wlnton saw Davls and Seaton at the verge of the precipice. They disappeared. And, file by file, the springbuck fol­ lowed them, the tawny bodies plunging into the void until the pressure was checked as the main.body of the herd, by some communicated Instinct, swerved into the main channel of the pass. As the compact ranks of the spring­ buck scattered,' Wlnton drove his horse up the precipice. At the edge he dismounted, and, thrusting his arms through the reins, he looked over. A vast brown stain upon the rocks below was all that marked the grate of DavIs and bis enemy. And over­ head, winging their way through the blue sky in solitary filer the vultures dropped to their festival. v Stck with horror, Wlnton went back to the village. He saw Sheila stand­ ing beside the crouching woman at the fire. He tethered his horse to a tree and went up to heh She paid no attention to him, but looked at her mother fixedly. The old woman was bent forward, her body supported by the elbows upon the knees. She was quite motionless. Wlnton took her hand; It was already cold. CHAPTER XIV The Uprising. It was night. Wlnton had performed the last offices for the dead woman.. The triple tragedy had been too stun­ ning for any Interchange of words upon their future, but .at last, there being nothing more to do, Wlnton was free to speak to. SheIIa about their, future. He had already gathered, that Sea­ ton had told her everything concern­ ing the past. “I want you to come back with me to Halopo, Sheila,” he said. "Marry ine—I will sell out and take you to’ my own country. Tour life shall be­ gin.anew—yours and mine. She put her hands on his shoulders. “Do you still love me, Wlnton?" she asked. “I have not changed, Sheila.” , “It Is not because you think you are bound?” “Sheila, I love you just , as much— always.” “Then I will be your wife, Wlnton," she answered gravely,’ raising her mouth to his. He did not urge his love—it was no time for that, and the past was too vividly with them for love-making. Some day, not very far ahead, Wln­ ton hoped that his dreams might come true. For the present he was very well content to know that Sheila was his, and that -nothing more could come between them. It would be Impossible ’ to find the way back to Malopo that night, and already the raln-clouds hung black In the sky. Wlnton was to occupy one of the huts, and on the morrow they would start for Malopo at dawn. He was surprised that the village was empty, and was about to.question Sbella when she spoke of It. “They left two days ago," she said. “AM the warriors, with the women and children. Wlnton, I am afraid It means something serious. They do not trust me any longer. They told me nothing. I tried to get warning to Halopo, but my Hottentot left me.” “Sheila, I must tell you something. The bpy robbed me on my return from. folk, village; Taife flffiewthen I Miff fallen from exhaustlbn. Then he made away.” “He robbed you, Wlnton?” “He took my 'watch and purse,- and I think he was planning to kill me, only he was afraid.” “He came back and told me that you had reached Malopo safely. I was alarmed for your safety, Wlnton. If I had guessed— But now I must tell you something In turn. Mr. De Wltt was here last night” “De Witt!” cried Wlnton. “Sheila, you saw him?" “No. I heard the horse coming up the pass, and I could tell from the clank of the stirrups that It was a white rider. I hid, Wlnton. I thought at first It was you. But I watched from among the rocks and recognized De W ltt I was afraid of him! I thought he had come to find me. And, Wlnton, that Hottentot, who had run away two days before, was with him. I recognized him, too. M t De Wltt has great Influence among the Totties. I don’t know what he is planning—” “He Is planning to escape, Sheila. It was not'you that he was seeking., He is a fugitive, and thinking only of getting away.” And he told her quickly of the de­ tails • of the trlaL BUt wIiether he, convinced her' or not, his own fears were aroused' for her. He . believed that De Wltt planned to take Sheila with him; he would, of course, be Ig­ norant of the fact that she knew the stdry of her parentage. Somewhere De Witt was lying In hiding. Wlnton spent a very restless night In the hut next to Sheila’s, and when at last the da\vn came, and he called her and she came out, her eyes heavy with sleep, but smiling at him; his heart went out In utter thankfulness. They saddled their horses' and rode away. During the journey they dis­ cussed their, plans. They would reach Malopo In the afternoon and be mar­ ried at once. He would tak e'Sliella" home -to the little cottage, and he woidd settle up his affairs as fast as possible and leave the country with her. But the program received an unex­ pected setback. A civil marriage was rendered Impossible by/ Judge Davis’, death, and the clergyman,, the only one In Malopo, had gone out for a day’s bok-shooting, and would not re­ turn till the morrow. Wlnton was utterly downcast Even the thought of taking the girl into, Malopo, which had used her so badly,’ I tried to 1I gel warning to VUIopb" |j| was unbearable. He decided to house her making tea for htns In Burns's cot­ tage—Bums having gone back to Uve In the boarding house, some little dis­ tance away, where he had resided for­ merly. Alter he . had settled her there, un­ der yarn's protection, he went back Into town- and, calling at the police station, informed the police chief of the tragedy. To his surprise he found himself the.object of a severe cross-examina­ tion. The presence of the vast herd of springbok was, of course, known, but tUe story/appeared Incredible. Wlnton had been seen riding out with Judge Davis; the enmity <of the two men was, of cburse, a common­ place of knowledge. The chief of po­ lice said that tie would ride out the next morning to investigate, and his manner left little doubt that he Busi p.ected Wlnton ;of having caused the Judge’s death. With his reception, Wlnton’s second purpose, of giving warning concerning the native unrest, went put of ’ his head. ,Malopo had, Indeed, been pre­ pared for an outbreak' for some time past, and rumors of all sorts were current; It was not probable that any action would have been taken on the story, which would, furthermore, have led' to Sheila’s examination. Qn the whole, when he remembered his lapse,. Wlnton did not regret It. When he got back to the claim, full of fears for Sheila's safety, and found, her making, tea for him in Burns's cot­ tage, he forgot all his troubles. ' That was the happiest afternoon he had ever’ spent He left Stiella at nightfall, confident that all would be weli with them. An unreality hung over the past, and It seemed only a day since he had been with her in the little house In the suburbs on thenlght after his arrival In Malopo. He slept—but suddenly he found himself upon tils feet, grpplng for his clothes.' Eear hung heavily over him, had awakened him. But he thought of Sheila In Imminent-danger. He struck a match, lit bis lamp, and went to the window. There had been a heavy snower, but the rain had ceased now, and it seemed not far from the dawn. The stars: were bril­ liant in a cloudless sky. Far,, away WlntOn heard an Inde­ finable murmuring sound as of a num­ ber of voices. It dwindled and grew again, and -'suddenly swelled Into a tumult, which seemed to spread along the ridge of the fields. There was no mistaking Its portent. Somewhere a riot had broken out And suddenly the night was cloven by a column of fire that shot upward, illuminating a smoky cloud . that drifted slowly across the stars. . Winton thrust on his clothes hur­ riedly and ran out of the room toward Burns’s cottage. He knocked hard on the door, “Sheila I” he called. “Sheila I” He heard her answer. She came to the other side of the door, and he begged her to dress hastily and come out to him. He waited through ago­ nizing moments. The tumult was grow­ ing. It was spreading from compound to compound. Then there arose within his. own compound a terrific babel, so sudden­ ly and unexpectedly that It seemed as If by preconcerted'agreement. And all at once the enclosure was filled with a mob of yelling savages. Before them a man, dressed In European' clothes, went flying for his life. “Sheila I” called Wlnton desperately. She opened the door and stood be­ fore him dressed, with her unbound hair hanging down her back. There was no need to explain anything. She ran to him and clung to him. Wlnton hurried her toward the cot­ tage. It did not seem much, of a refuge, but at least he had his re­ volver there, and on both sides of him the savages were approaching, with the evident Intention of attacking the building.. They were seen. The yells were re­ doubled. A spear whizzing through the air buried Itself In the ground at Winton’s feet just as be reached his door. He pushed Sheila Inside, ran to his table, and grabbed his revolver, load­ ing It hurriedly and thrusting two or three handfuls of cartridges Into his pocket. Then he ran back to receive the fugitive, of whose presence he had been snbconsdously aware, although his mind had been filled with Sheila. He recognized Sam and greeted him. . Sam sank down on the floor, panting and sweating. His foremost pursuer was not twenty feet distant. Wlnton aimed methodically and fired. The man flung up his arms and fell with a scream. The mob behind, which had been streaming on In a-disorder­ ly mass, stopped short. Wlnton fired again and another native dropped.- The savages, disconcerted, bolted, re­ formed, and began to spread out about the cottage. A few had spears, but there were, of course, no firearms among them, and the majority were armed with nothing more formidable than knobkerrtes, the native shillalah. Sam In turn dragged Wlnton inside and bolted the door. They .faced each other. “Whaf Is it, Sam?” “It’s a rebellion," gasped the negro. “They’ve broken out all along the fields. I heard the uproar and went Into the compound. I thought our boys would co-operate, after Our social—” ' “Never mind that, Sam. Tours was a brave act” “No, sir,” gasped Sam. “I was sure moral suasion—appeal to human broth­ erhood—no; primitive instincts In our men—was mistaken.” “Tes, your theory didn’t work. Now we've got to save Mlss Seaton—Mlsa Davls here—” “They’ve killed Josephs, sir." “What?” cried Wlnton In horror. . Sam began t° shake. “They static a spear right Hirtugh his body, sir. He had gone In alone. They nearly got me. We’re all as good as dead.” “Nonsense I” answered Wlnton, try- to convince himself that the' outbreak was one' of those sporadic 'riots that occurred periodically In the com­ pounds, and had no connection with the threatened rising of the tribes. He looked at Sheila, who smiled bravely and laid her hands on his arms and looked up at him. ‘Tm not afraid, Wlnton,” she said. “We’ll have help soon—we must,” said Wintoh with conviction. But the yells Increased again, and there came another rush for the door. Wlnton Opened it suddenly ahd dis­ charged his. revolver.: Screams fol­ lowed and a panicky retreat. He bolt­ ed it again and recharged the weapon. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

He Is. a charter member of Far- ragut Post, Lincoln, G. A. B., and also prominent' In fraternal order circles. Speaking further of his experience with Tanlac, Judge Tarbox said: "Stomach trouble had been the bane of my existence even before the Civil War. Indigestion such as I had Is about the worst enemy a person could, have, and it kept getting worse all the time. “I simply could not have kept going the past two years If If had not been for Tanlac. It made my weak stomach sound and wholesome, did away with all signs of indigestion and built me up in a way I had thought Impossible. ■ “In fact, Tanlac has brought me health, strength and happiness when I was sick and suffering, so I have every reasoD to .give it my unqualified en­ dorsement and praise.” Tanlac is for sale by all good drug­ gists.

It reads as follows:—"While attend­ ing- Billy Sunday’s great revival at Knoxville, Tenn., last February I con­ tracted a cold which weakened my en­ tire system. I have taken only three bottle’s of Pe-ru-na and feel like a new man. It is a. great system builder as well as a great catarrh remedy.” To attempt to even estimate the thousands who, in the last half cen­ tury, have come to know and appre­ ciate the merits of Pe-ru-na would be worse than useless.

Baby chicks con­ stitute the foundation stock of the future layers and breeders and, there­ fore, too much care cannot be exer­ cised In deciding upon the hatchery from which to buy. , ■ . Ofli1Cials of the United S’tates De­ partment of Agriculture have, ob­ served that practical poultry raisers and farmers are relying upon the hatcheries more and more each suc­ ceeding year as a source of supply for their new crop of chicks. In other words, ench year sees fewer and fewer, chicks ■ liatched under hens and the mammoth hatcheries are taking the place, to a certain extent, of the small­ er incubators which are commonly op­ erated on the farms. It is because of the fact that farmers are buying baby chicks from the commercial hatcheries In such large numbers that the ofliclals of the department feel the necessity of urging them to exercise great care in deciding upon where to buy this year’s supply of chicks. At the same time It should be point­ ed out that many farmers, perhaps the majority, will still find It more eco­ nomical to do their own hatching. Thls- Is especially the case where the ftttn flock is of good standard quality and has been bred for egg production. A farmer hatching his own chicks knows the quality of chicks Be can expect The commercial hatchery business has developed to a very remarkable ex­ tent In the United States in the last two years. Some of the hatchery men have estimated that practically double the number of baby chicks will be hatched In mammoth hatcheries this year compared with last. There is a great Increase in the number of hatcheries, each varying In capacity from a few thousand to several hun­ dred thousand chicks. The question of importance to a pur­ chaser of baby chicks is the source of supply of eggs for the hatcheries. Many of the hatcheries have their own busi­ ness well organized, and are able to guarantee the quality of the chicks. Some of the hatcheries, however, are not'so particular where they purchase the eggs they use and are not able to guarantee high-quality chicks. Purchasers of baby chicks would be well advised, ofliclals of the depart^ ment say, to make sure of purchasing from a reliable hatcliery. Only pure bred chicks should be bought and In, addition to this ,the purchaser should insist upon a satisfactory statement from the hatchery man as to the qual­ ity of eggs used. Were the eggs from a standard-bred flock with trap-nest records and was the flock In good breeding condition? Purchase baby chicks with great care. It is better to pay a few cents more for good quality chicks that can Be guaranteed. High Value of Milk for Increasing Yield of Eggs Milk fed to laying hens brings bet­ ter returns than when fed to hogs, according to Purdue university. Re­ turns at that station show that the In­ crease in egg production gives a re­ turn of $1.82 to $5 per hundred pounds of milk fed to hens. Feeding of protein to hens will usually. In-, crease the egg production'of a hen about ,100 eggs per year as compared to hens that do not receive a protein supplement • Milk cannot Be compared with other forms of anim al. protein such as meat scraps and tankage wholly on the prptein basis, since Its palatabll- ity, ease of digestibility, and general availability on the farm must be given consideration. For chicks, milk is almost a neees- sity since most people can raise chicks easier and better and with less mortality when given as a liquid diet. F ASHION continues to adore slen­ derness and fashion 'journals p er­ sist In drawings of attenuated ladles that are entirely unhuman.

Don’t pour boiling wa­ ter over china or glass; It may not crack at the time, but It will drop off in pieces when least expected. Don’t forget to dash over a spot of grease’ (spilled on wooden table or floor) a cupful of cold water. It will congeal the grease and’ the most of; It may be removed at once. Don’t use table silver for cooking around the stove; cheap utensils may ,be bought for such purposes. Don’t lay greasy spoons or utensils on the table or stove. Keep a ’ tin pieplate- or small, tra y to bold such things; this will save cleaning and scouring the table.

The special application blank has been prepared and an order for 15,- 000,000 has been placed with the pub­ lic printer, the statement said. The necessary paper to fill the huge order is being shipped to the public printer by the factories and on receipt the application blanks would be promptly delivered to the department fo r' distribution to veterans through­ out the country. • ' . In this connection the war depart­ ment has made arrangements for the distribution through the post office department, the American Legion, va­ rious military headquarters and civil societies. : Printed instructions WilLbe distributed containing all information relative to the bonus and the applica­ tion blank ,itself .will contain specific instructions as -to how it. should be filled out. Estimates totaling $127,000,000 were sent to the budget director by Director Hines of the veterans’ bureau for ap­ proval Befbre they are submitted to Congress asth eb a sis of appropria­ tions required by the veterans’ bureau to finance its overhead charges and ,make’ compensation payments during the first year to veterans who benefit by the adjusted. compensation act. At the same-time, General Hines an­ nounced he had created a separate division in the veterans’ bureau to Be known as the adjusted compensation service • charged with the administra­ tive work of passing upon certificates for payment and making cash dis­ bursements to the veterans. The new office will be headed by Major Owen Clark, former chief of the re-habilita- tion division of the ’ bureau. Major ClaTk will be succeeded In his old post by H. B. .Sterling, executive officer ot that division. General Hines-said a- voluminous correspondence from veterans was also beginning to reach his office and appealed to newspapers of the coun­ try to warn all former service men against writing or communicating In any way with the government execu­ tive Vjffices charged with the bonus administration until they had received application certificates and filed them either with the war or navy depart­ ment. Veterans were advised by General Hines in the' connection to keep in touch locally with postoffice officials and veterans organization officers, who are' to co-operate “with the war and navy departments in distributing ap­ plication' blanks and-disseminating in­ formation about them to help the vet­ eran* to fill in the blanks correctly.

Springfield, Mas*.—A proposal that a world conference of religions forces be called to consider plans and meth­ ods against war was introduced before ihe Methodist Episcopal General Con­ ference here. . The proposal was incorporated in a resolution reported to the conference by a special committee of thirteen. The .world conference would be. called by a special commission of the church to be appointed by the conference be­ fore final adjournment. The resolution stated: “We set our­ selves to create the will to ' peace. ....... The glorification of war must end.” The report urged the President to summon another.conference of nations for a more drastic, reduction of arma­ ments. The following resolution on war was presented to the Methodist Episcopal general conference by a special com-, ihittee- “Millions of our fellow men have died heroically in ‘a war to end war.’ What they undertook we must finish by methods of peace. War is not in? evitable. It is the supreme enemy of mankind. Its futility is beyond ques­ tion. Its continuance Ib the suicide of civilization. We. are determne'd to outlaw the whole, war system.” “The patriotism of the Methodist Episcopal Church has never been chal­ lenged. Neither our motives nor our loyalty must be impugned when we insist on the fulfillment of the pledges made to the dead and assert our Christian ideals for the living. Gov­ ernments which fgnore the Christian conscience of men in time of peace cannot ’justly claim the lives of men in time ot war. Secret displomacy and political partisanship must not draw men into the dilemma of . decid­ ing between supp'ort of country and loyalty to Christ. “The world is now open to a cru- side for peace. . War-weary- nations everywhere must lead the way. Our nation ■ and our church can do now what we may. never' be able to do again. - - . j ■ “We set ourselves to create the will to peace. We recommend that a pray­ er for peace -be prepared and used at every communion service. Free State to Release Prisoners., .. Dublint--The Free -State Govern­ ment, will expedite the release of all prisoners intended or under sentence of ,imprisonment with the exception of Eamon de Valera, and cithsr Republi­ can leaders who have not yet been tried. As a result of the debate in Dail Eireann on the motion to release the prisoners in the interest of. peace and because of the approaching Irish Olym­ pic games, the government declared its recognition of the willingness of average citizens tp take the rick of the prisoners’ release and. will there­ fore expedite them. Even ' convicted prisoner* will be released on revision of their senten­ ces by Judges by de Valera and the other Republican leaders will be re­ tained In custody for the time being.

Recalling the defeat of the league of nations proposals in the 1920 elec­ tion, the platform endorsed the world court as the only means of “interna­ tional co-operation, without compro­ mise of national independence, to min­ imize the danger of war.” Other planks In the platform were:. Exercise of every possible power to Insure conduct of public and private affairs on a high plane of honesty and morality; Maintenance of the independence of the judiciary, especially the supreme court; ‘ Recognition of the principle that places the greatest load of taxation on a small class -would result . In im­ poverishment of all; Insistence upon the privacy of an individual’s tax relations; ' Compulsory investigation of facts before.strikes or lockouts against any public utility are allowed; Acceptance of legal responsibility by. labor, organizations similar-to, that governing Organized capital; Guarantee to all citizens .or. corpor­ ations of the right to seek employment ,or to employ individuals or non-mem­ bership' in any organization; Retention of the transportation act to enable railroads to earn a fair re­ turn on their investment; - Restriction of immigration by high­ ly selective tests and quotas based on economic requirements of the country and on the number that can be politic­ ally assimilated. Retention of the present tariff laws; Aboilition of the policy of taxing residents abroad on income derived from .active business in a foreign country;• Establishment of a privately-owned merchant marine.

The visiting aviators arrived at 6:40 o’clock, having - made ’ the jump from Hitokappu Bay, Yetoroful Island, Ku- riles—720'miles—in 12 hours and 50 minutes flying time. They made one stop of about two hours at Minato for lunch. The Americans and their planes were in excellent conditions upon their arrival here, but it has been de­ cided to rest ar week here. ,This will give time for a thorough overhauling of the aircraft, and also permit the army officers to visit Tokio. With the landing here the first and most difficult portions of the around- the-world journey has ended. From Kasumigaura the next jump will be to Kiishimoto, 350 miles south at the extremity of the main island. It is a small seaport situated on a rocky ir-. regular coast. Kushimoto is next to the last stopping place in Japan. The aviators will say farewell to .the em­ pire at Kagoshima, at the southern end of the southern island of Kyushu. From Kagoshima the Americans will make ..tlmir next long water jump of 500 miles to Shanghai. ., The American airment, when they reached, here, had covered..the last- part of the earth’s circumference hlth- erton untraveled by air.

New York.:—Transmission of photo­ graphs from Celevland tb New York City over Iohg distance telephone lines was accomplished in a demonstration by laboratory experts of the American Telephone and Telegraph company. The method achieved after-several years’ work was described by; officials of the company as a “simple, rapid: and accurate'picture transmitting sys­ tem.” It will be ,installed on the company’s various long distance lines, it was an­ nounced, in accordance with the de­ mand' which arises for this type of service, -Cleveland was selected as the place for the tranmitting station so that pic^ tures taken at the republican national convention might be ,transmitted to New York within a few minutes. Act­ ual tranmissions showed that photo­ graphs could be transmitted'to New York and made ready for producing newspaper plates within 10 minutes from the time the original photograph was placed on the ’transmitting ma­ chine. A photograph of a group of newspapermen taken in the Cleveland laboratory was transmitted to New York in four and one-half minutes, ex- _ciuding the time required In develop­ ing the original In Cleveland and the few minutes required in developing the print in New York. The pictures transmitted were five inches' by Seven inches inside. Mes­ sages in hand writing also were trans- mitted, the copy received being a fac­ simile of the original message. .

San Antonio, Texas —The Presby­ terian church of the south stands to­ day on all th e, fundametal doctrines to which it has clung through several generations of church history as a re­ sult of decisions of the sixty-fourth general assembly which closed here. Commissioners returning to. .their homes expressed gratification that the church had refused to recede from any of its doctrines, and that it stood among the churches of the United States without a single rift In its beliefs. The most important result of the body in its refusal to back, away from decisions reached at former assem­ blies, according to church leaders. Amid the storm of modernism, which some commissioners • declared was breakin gover the world'today, the assembly by unanimous vote declined to restate its fundamental doctrines in detail, contenting itself with an­ nouncing “to.the world*’ that It stands where it has always stood, on the literal Interpretation of the Bible as pronounced Iu its ancient confession of faith.

HORNADAY Washington.—<3reat Intferest is be­ ing taken in the three new postage stamps Just issued by the government. They are In denominations of one, two and five cents and wlU commemorate the comteg to- America’ of the Hugue­ nots and the Walloons and the three- hundredth anniversary of the settle­ ment of New York and the Middle Atlantic states. Government officials declare that they are the most beauti- ful stamps ever Issued by the depart­ ment; In order that the historic scenes which they will bear may be shown more effectively they will be larger tHnn usual and. oblong In shape. On the one-cent 'stamp is the pic­ ture of the “Nleu Nederlandt,” the ship which brought to America In 1624 the first 32 families under the auspices of the Etatch West India com­ pany. Some of these families settled, on Manhattan bland, others at Fort Orange; now Albany, and still others In different Atlantic states. The two- cent stamp is a reproduction of a monument set up at Mayport, on the St John’s river, Florida, by the Huguenots, who made In 1562 the first attempt at a permanent settlement In what Is now the TJnItedStates. They were massacred by the Spaniards in 1565. Issued Progressively. Following the usual custom to meet the desires of collectors the commem­ orative stamps will be Issued progress­ ively. The celebration began with the dedication of a monument erected Uy the Dangfaters of the Ainerlcan Revo­ lution at Jacksonville • and Mayport, Florida, on May I. The first stamps were released there on that date. As tho celebration progressed northward, stamps were Issued at each point of the celebration which will last six weeks. Afterwards they will be put on sale throughout the country. In addition to the stamps the govern­ ment has struck a' commemorative fifty- coit piece, known as the Huguenot coin, bearing on one side the shlfe “Nleu Nederlandt" and on the other the profiles of William the Silent and Admiral Coligny OfaFrance. “It was William the Silent, the George- Wash­ ington of Holland, who first sheltered the. Huguenots and Walloons when they were driven from France and Belgium by religious persecution,” ex­ plains Dr. John Baer Stoudt, the noted historian, who Is director of the Hugue- not-Walloon-New Netherland tercen­ tenary commission. Collgny was the first of the great leaders of Europe to suggest America as a-place of ref­ uge for those seeking religious' free­ dom. “The Dutch West India company granted them the privilege of settling in the region, then known as New Neth­ erlands The group, that came ovet In 1024 founded what proved to be the first permanent Huguenot and Wal­ loon colony In America.' Two earlier attempts made by Jean Rlbaut under Admiral Coligny, at Mayport,' Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina, were unsuccessful because of Spanish massacres.” Starting in Mayport, Florida, the first week in May, the; celebrations worked northward .through the south­ ern states, with' special exercises In South Carolina, and through Pennsyl­ vania,. New Jersey and Delaware, all of which boast early Huguenot col­ onies. ' The most elaborate part of the ceremonies took place In New York, where hundreds of Huguenot and Wal­ loon descendants met to form^a perma­ nent national organization.” IJhe cere­ monies Included the dedication of a Belgian gift monument and a national memorial Huguenot church on Staten Island and exercises at Albany and New Paltz. Meets Ready 8ale. The genieral public never seems to lose Interest in the stamp issues put out by the Post Office department. Every new Issue, no matter yhat the purpose of it, meets with a ready sale. Perhaps, In the history of the govern­ ment there has been no special Issue that has beep In greater demand than' the Harding memorial Issuer The old red two-cent stamp has practically dis­ appeared since the ^dark-colored Hard­ ing stamp made its appearance. Of course there is much sentiment behind the enormous demand for the memorial stamp. It Is reasonable to assume IN FAN T PRODIGY * that within q year or tWo the demaafl for this particular stamp will slow down and the department will once more be putting out what some folk* call the commonplace red two-cent stamp. 1Another Interesting thing about thlij stamp business is the activity of the collectors. Generation after genera­ tion continues to furnish m en' and women who find recreation In the col­ lection of stamps from- all sections o$ the world. This fad, if it may be called a fad, centers here because stamps from every member of the international postal union find their way to this capital. The Post Office de­ partment has always endeavored to be helpful In every way possible to the collectors.

London.—On the banks of the Thames, 38 miles southwest of London, Ues the ancient town of Reading, a towp that might be unknown to tho ordinary American, had not Oscar Wllde Immortalized it In his “Ballad of Reading Gaol.” The prison In which the poet passed two years of misery is about to be torn down. Oscar Wilde, after his trial, was sent to Wandsworth prison and was trans­ ferred from there In -November, 1895, on account of his ill. health, to Reading, Where hie finished out the term of his sentence. The “Ballad” and “De Profundls,” written In his confinement within the prison- .walls, reveal his Intense suffer­ ing. The Jatl that housed Oscar Wllde is the third one to be tom down In Read­ ing. The original building, where mis­ erable offenders were-shift away from the light of day, stood on the site now occupied by St. Mary’s chapel; It was demolished In 1793. From 1773 to 1779 the jailer was a widow who drew the munificent salary of £20 and was licensed to sell beer and wine to the prisoners. The new gaol was Bomei What larger and housed 124 prison­ ers; its predecessor bad accommoda­ tions for only 20. Convicts In those days were decked In suits of blue and yellow., Would*SelI Mechanical T Army to United States New York.-^Neils W.

A line of soulless mechanisms buried In the earth along frontiers, waiting for years for the hand on an electric button that will release them to shower bullets and ^ pol.son gas on In- vaders-^-that Is Mr. Aasen's substitute for'flesh, and blood defensive armies. His human equivalent Is reduceg to a few engineers to guide the defensive lines, and, on the offensive, to. aviators, whose function would be polson-gaa bombing, and to' naval crews operating his newly invented depth bombs against enemy shipping. With different wave lengths, succes­ sive tiers of the underground soldiers could be exploded to stop the. advance of any army whose positions could be reported by radio from observation airplanes. - BEADS AND CAUCO NO LURE FOR POLYNESIANS Islands Have S and 10-Cent Stores and Enjoy Radio, Says Old Skipper.

S t Louis.—When John P. Martin, formerly manager of the Martin build­ ing,* came to the home of Mrs. Mary Shupe, he agreed to conduct himself in an orderly manner and not Interfere with the. welfare of the family. But a few months later he went to the basement of her home and com­ mitted suicide by hanging himself from a water pipe. This, Mrs.. Shupe contends, was a violation of his agreement, and she brought suit for. $10,000 damages In the Circuit court against Joseph El Martin, administrator of;,the-.estate of JohnM artln. In' committing suicide at her home, she complained In her petition, Martin “acted voluntarily and Intentionally and knew he would disturb and dls- rupt the peace and quiet1* of herself and family. Martin, sue explained, lived at her home as a roomer and boarder for about six weeks prior to his death. During that time, she declared, he conducted ■ himself In a “reasonable and orderly" manner, according to agreement. - ") But, without even “notice or warn­ ing;” Mrs.’ Shupe alleges,-he - went to her basement and ended his' life. The next morning, she complains, she went to the basement and collided with Martin’s body. The discovery, ,she added, severely shocked her nerv­ ous system, and as a result her health was greatly disturbed. She later be­ came “sick and ill," slfe. asserted, and had to get the-services of three phy­ sicians. The illness, she said, is permanent and she is unable to perform her household duties.
