Plan Retorn ot World War Dead

Many Families Prefer to Leave Dead Overieas

The War D«partm«nt anticipated that lome famlllea will caquaat that their eervlcemen who died overseae be left by the Army In the lands they fought to liberate.

The postman will ring hundreds of thousands of times at doors throughout the Nation shortly to deliver War Department Inquiries about the final burial of World War ITs 828,000 dead, now resting overseas.

This is the first phmt of the Army's program for the tragic homecoming of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines who gave their lives in the struggle for victory.

The Fallen Heroas were buried in 880 temporary mlHtary cemeter-las from India to France; from Alaska to Saipani.

Their ratatlve® 4n the United States win be asked within the next few weeks whether they want their men to be Interred in a pri-vate cemetery In the United States or In a private cemetery in aome foreign country.

Thu department said that "It does not anticipate that all next of kin will desire to have the re-mains of loved ones brought back to the United fltatea," adding:

"Requests are expected that bur-ials be made In military cemeterlee overseas t u t the number or loca-tion of such permanent military cemeteries has not been deter-mined,"

The Department pointed out that some Servicemen were b u r l e d where they fell because battle con-ditions made It impoaslble to re-move them to temporal^ ceme-teries.

The usually un-lyrical Army re-called these" lines;

"Slowlv and sadly we laid him down from the field of his fame fresh and gory;

"We carved not t line, and we raised not a atone, but we left him along with his glory.''

The first of the War Dead are expected to arrive In the United States around the end of the year. Congress requires that the sad mission be completed within five years but MaJ. Gen. T. B. Lark-ing, quartormaater general, thinks that it can be •accomplished sooner.

The o s t of return and final bur-ial la estimated to be between HM. 000,000 and 1215.000,000. The depart, ment's plans were disclosed after President Truman approved ena-bling legislation Which InvoVvea all personnel of the armed forces who died overseas since Sept. 3, 1989.

It Is estimated that of the 828,000 reported desA of World War H there are about 75,000 whose bodies were not recoverable. The work of identifying the Unknown Dead will continue for some time.

More than 46,000 of the first World War's 77,901 soldiers klUed overseas were returned to the United States flor burial during the years of 1920-191L

Forty-two were left undisturbed; 18 were burled In the Lafayette Escadrllle Memorial; and the re-maining 80,907 were buried in eight /.merlcan m i l i t a r y temeterles abroad.

Inflation Boom Is Sure to Crack

The Year 1946 fs a Good Time to Pay Debts

The flow of war-time savings <0-to Michigan farm land continues at a fast pace. In fact, the Michi-gan land boom has put ether Mid-West states into near total eclipse. While Michigan farm land is now selling at 108 percent of the 1920 price peak, Ohio land is at 83 per-cent, Indiana 90, Illinois 78, and Wisconsin 70. The national average is 84.

If you drive into the country these days, you'll notice the result of this Michigan trend. Many city dwellers are buying country homes and farmland as a hedge against Inflation and hard times. Oakland county, for example, is filled with Detroit people who are Investing in rural property. Livingston coun-ty alro has benlfltted from Detroit dollars, most of them garnered during the war. The same thing Is true for all counties adjacent to industrial cities.

When war dollars go Into a farm, the first change It a general Im-provement of the buildings. Farm barns and houses are repaired and repainted. Fences also are spruced up, sometimes with white paint added for glamor. The city farmer pays good prices for cattle. He spends his money easily. One ac-countant at Lansing told us that nine out of ten city farmers lose money each year, and they think nothing of I t

Home'Made Fence Chargers Dangerous

A good electric fence saves time, labor and materials—all of which are critical. But home-made fence controllers are dangerous and at times even deadly. D. E. Wlant, of. the departmfnt of agricultural engineering at Michigan State col-lege, warns against the use of un-tested and unauthorized Ideas.

Some manufacturers have spent as lomg as six years making their electric fence controls "fool proof." The use of an approved electric fence gives the farmer and stock-man an opportunity to fence in cer-tain arear of pasture hastily and temporarily or for permanent fence.

It Is known that In Michigan a-lone, hundreds of hea.-. at livestock and several persons die each year aa the result of home-made fence chargers.

Farmers should make certain the apparatus they have or purchase Is approved by the underwriters or other approving bodies to make cer-tain there will be no death to live-stock or persons.

June 10-20. Start dusting sweet corn with 5 percent DDT or ro-tenone to control corn borer. Make five applications at five-day inter-vals. Keep squash dusted with ro-tenone to control vine borer.

Watch b&ans for Mexican bean beetle. Spray or dust with roten-one, covering top and underside of leaves for control. Dust or spray potatoes with mixture of 5 percent DDT end copper dusts or Bordeaux mixture.

Pinch back chrysanthemums to get bushy growth and abundance of bloom. Stake delphinium, holly-hocks and other tall perennials.

June 20-30. 8*op cutting aspara-gus. Apply ten pounds of l(V6-4 or otjier high nitrogen fertilizer per 100 foot row. Watch for, and re-move, suckers on lilacs, roses, and any other grafted trees or shrubs.

Water plants during dry spells. Be particularly careful to water neVly set evergreens. Water lawn thoroughly, soaking p>ll to depth of three or four Inches. Dont Just sprinkle.

Battle weeds. June Is the month to whip the weed problem. Weeds rob rarden plants of food and moisture. Hoe them out or pull them by hand, but get rid of the weeds. This is a good* time to use one of the 2-4-D sprays to destroy lawn weeds, too. Be careful not to get 2, 4-D on garden plants, how-ever. '

By 1980—Just tour year* away— farm earnings are due to drop to 4.7 percent, while mortgage will be closer to 5 percent, according to federal forecasts. And yet farm land Is attracting city dollars In an Increasing flow. The quest far security Is still uppermost In man's mind.

Editorial AMERICA'S FOREIGN POLICY

Everybody knows that there is a showdown In the affairs of the United Nations. Naturally, one can-not help but know that the Rus-sians have violated all their pledges and used all of their power to de-feat the lofty aims and purposes of the United States, Great Britain and the other great governments of the earth that have been working to achieve permanent' peace. T h e Amerlcsm Government, under the leadership of able Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, and backed by Senators Vandenberg and Connally, has done Its best to reach agree-ments with Molotov and Stalin. This delegation of American statesmen who recently returned from the Paris conference have served notice on Russia that we are through with appeasement and that the Amer-ican delegation will Insist on Its "American foreign policy."

I t seems possible that Russia may pull out, or be thrown out. In either case, the statements f Byjyies and Vandenberg may be accepted, as they declare that the United States will stand firm for "Peace for Keeps."

Voting by absentee ballot while in lervico doesn't make a man a reg-istered vofer, Owen J . "Pat" Cleary, the veterans' candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the Re-publican ticket, warned veterans.

Cleary said that many of the ex-servicemen believed that the forms filled out in the absentee bal-lot constituted registration.

'These men find themselves un-ible to vote when they go to the polls on election day, and every means should be taken to make sure that the veteran is able to exercise his right of franchise in the coming election," Cleary said. "Each veteran should be urged to register in his community before May 29 when registration offices elose," he added.

Cleary also cited the need of Informing the ex-servic«man of his voting rights. The veteran who Is discharged during the 20-day period prior to elections, during which time registration is closed, may vote by going to the polls in uniform, regardless of the fact that be may have never registered or voted. This is providing he has not already been in the state on ter-mina l l eave . Many p e r s o n i in charge o£ the booths on election day are unaware of this fact them-selves, pointed out Cleary, and as a result during the recent Detroit mayoralty elections, servicemen recently discharged were some-times prevented from voting.

The veteran who has established residence in Michigan while still In service, although he was in-ducted from another state, may register if that residence was established at least six months before election day, even though the veteran may not have been actually discharged and residing in the state for the six month period. However, he must at least have spent some furlough time here. A veteran who has returned to Michigan and who already resided here may vote by presenting him-self at the precinct in which he resided prior to entering the serv-Ice if he was already registered.

"I t is necessary in the interest of good government that we do not deprive the veteran of the right to vote," Cleary said. "We can do thh," he added, "by Informing the veteran of his rights and instruct-ing the people in charge of th4 booths as to their duties."

Landlord Presents

Bonds for Babies

$25 War Bond for Each Kid

Born on His Property.

CLEVELAND.—If you're looking for • landlord that not only loves children but pays a |2A war bond for each child born on his property, you can And him In Cleveland.

Henry Solomon, like his Biblical namesake, is quite a guy. He's a man of deep philosophy, a lover of children and the owner of several apartment houses.

Recently he paid for his 5(Jth child, David Michale Miller, bom to CpL and Mrs. Pierce Miller, ten-ants of Solomon.

The apartment owner has been giving cash to every child born to his tensnts for a good many years

The reason for Solomon's benevo-lence dates bitck to 1023 when he. hts wife and three-year-old daughter came to Cleveland from Hungary. Door after door was slammed in his fsce by landlords who disapproved of children.

"I resolved then that If I ever owned any property for rent no-body would experience the same heartache that I had felt," he re-called.

And Solomon followed through Today 90 families, 50 per cent of which are families of servicemen, rent apartments from him. He Is particularly anxious to have service-men's wives and children. He thinks it is his — and other land-lords'—duty to provide living quar-ters for families of our fighting men.

Solomon's standard rate of pay-ment used to be $5 for the first child, 10 for the sccond, $20 for the third and so on. He raised his donation at the outset of the war. The doubling business continued,1

however, with each subsequent addi-tion.

Incidentally, he has promised that if one of his tenants gives birth to quintuplets, the apartment building In which they live shall be theirs to have, to hold, and to pay taxes on.

Britiih Women Buy Up Reconditioned War Suits

LONDON.-Approximately 225.000 reconditioned battle suits, dyed green and sold at S4 and six cou-pons each, have been snapped up by British women as being the best clothing bargain of the war.

The wardrobes of Britain's wom-en are so do pie led, their coupons for replacements so Inadequate, the stocks of clothing in the shops so shoddy and inferior, that a pure woolen, well-made battle salt is ir-resistible.

Bsrgains like this are invariably snapped up as soon as they appear. The days when a party invite or a new date meant a new frock are forgotten.

Barton told this story to police: Having collected $720 for the

chickens he stopped at a tavern and met a Negro who called himself "Willie." "Willie" told Barton he knew where they eould buy clgarets and Barton accompanied him. Out-side. "Willie" knocked him down and helped himself to the chicken "gravy" — $720 worth.

Bureau Limits Taxpayers To Just One Wife a Year WASHINGTON —As far as the tax

collector is concerned, a man can have only one wife in one year.

This ruling was made by the bu-reau of internal revenue in a case from Missouri.

The taxpayer's wife died in 1944, and he remarried within the year, claiming each of the wives as a dependent. The bureau said, in ef-fect. that it limited wives to one a year, and allowed only one $500 ex-emption. Instead of two.

With two frosty springs in suc-cession, frui t men in this area are beginning to think of using smudge pots of some sort or another. Eat-ing dinner the other day with Car-roll Chnae, of Alpine, he told how they smudged their Kent City or-chard. Males of spoiled sltaw, had been dumped in the orchard to be used for mulchea When the frost danger appeared they poured gaso-line on the bales and eet them on fire. I t worked good and they had little frost damage. W. G. Mawby told of some growers In the upper part of the state who dug holes In their orchards, filled them with sawdust, eoaked the latter with crank case oil. Ignited It, and had a cheap effective smudge. One grow-er who had a post hole digger, dug holes In his orchard and used the mwdust d l system.

Wild mustard Is rampant again this year. Each year we feel that Kent county has more of the weed. |Jn fields Chat we have occasion to pass quite regularly we know there lis more. This weed can be killed by using the spray 2-4-D. When It is In a grain crop i t can toe killed with no Injury to the crop but In a pasture the clover or alfalfa will be killed as well. The home lover who likes a nice lawn and has a bad mess of dandelions, touckhorn or plantain can get rid of the weeds with the 2-4-D spray. The clover In the lawn will be hur t but not the grass. H ie lawn will look like a mese during the killing process but the weeds will be gone. Where the weeds are thick It may be necessary to do some reseedlng afterwards. «

The State Depar tment of Agri-culture Is planning again this year to place traps in Grand Rapid** to check on the iprevalenre of the Japanese beetle. A year ago beetles were found in the southeast part of the city. The Board Of Super visors appropriated $5,000 to buy arsenate of lead to spray about 80 acres of land in the a rea where the beetles Were found. We a re suggesting to the department that traps be placed outorids of the city where truckers buy apples and peaches and other c ropa We sure hope this pest never gets out of control in the county. 1

New Chemicali Prolong Life of Materia'i

There are new chemical com-pounds which aid In the dyeing of materials so lhat they become more permanent to light and laundering The old problem of gas fading will disappear, and the materials used for interior decorating will stand up against prolonged exposure to sun and heat without fading or dlsinte-grating.

Moth-prooflng of wool will become permanent It will do away with the trouble of carefully storing win-ter blsnkets and clothing and will re-lieve us of the worry of moths In floor coverings and upholstered fur-niture. Wool will also have its shrinkage cut to a minimum, which will prevent matting and scuffing and make It crease-resistant.

The little sllverflsh which thrives on rayon will meet Its match, for rayon can be given a bug-proof fin-ish. This finish also gives rayon a lasting crispness and stability and increases its number of uses. Flame-retardant finishes have been devel-oped for war use and will be avail-able on postwar fabrics for our use. Mildew retardants have also been developed for war use and will pro-vide us with shower curtains, out-door furniture fabrics and awnings that will be safe from that deftruc-tlve mold called mildew.

Fa rm Employment Total farm employment In the

United States In IJH4 was about 7 per cent less thsn the average of the period 1935-39. according to esti-mates of the Bureau of 'Agricul-tural Economics. During 1943 the farms of the nation were operated with a total fa rm employment 5 per cent below the five prewar years. This means, therefore, that the total employment was reduced In 1944 about 2 per cent below the average employed during 1943. In the 1935-39 period about 10.700.000 people were engaged In farm employment on the average. Roughly three-fourths of these were family work-ers. and about one-fourth was hired labor. In Illinois, Indiana, Michi-gan. Ohio and Wisconsin about 1.475.000 were employed on the aver-age during the same period, of whom 77 per cent were family la-borers. For 1944 the proportion of family labor was unchanged for the nation, but for the foregoing states the proportion represented by family labor had increased to 83 per cent.

The difference between success and failure is no greater than the , difference between Can and Can't .

Food Juice So much good fiavor and nutritive

value are carried in the Juice of foods that the good cook takes pains to lose as little Juice as possible from all foods in preparation and in cooking. Home economists offer the following suggestions for saving Juices: Avoid loss of Juice in pre-paring meat, poultry and fish by never soaking In water. In cooking meat save Juice by using moderate heat. Juice from oysters and clams has especially fine flavor. Nrver wash because this means a loss of Juice. Soaking fresh vegetable? especially after they are cut. draws out Juice that contains both food value and flavor. To save the Juice of strawberries, wash them before, not after, hulling. Hold Juicy fruits like oranges and cherries over a

| bowl when slicing so none of the {juice will be lost as it drips.

Featherweight Bazooka A featherweight bazooka with a

heavyweight punch and a new "eye" sight. 42 per cent lighter than the standard model, that may be handled as easily as a regular army rifle, has been developed. The little heavyweight, f a r more accurate than its older brothers and weigh-ing 10^ pounds, now has a barrel made from aluminum. The stand-ard model now in use by the army's ground forces Is made from steel, but the wall thickness of the aluminum bazooka is greater than the steel one. This is the seventh basic design of the weapon, fore-runner of all combat rocket-launch-ers in this war, since original plans were submitted'to the company by the army In the spring of 1941

More telephone equipment for

LOWELL Is still In Iho making If we could, we'd fill every telephone service order on our bocks right now. The reason we ^an't in this area is because we haven't enough central office equipment and outside wire and cable o go around.

We've ordered what we need to take care of those waiting for telephones and it's now being manufactured. But this apparatus requires thousands of hours of hand work to build and to install.

Meanwhile, we're installing telephones for

as maiiy waiting applicants as we can — by overloading our present equipment. At the risk of temporarily lowering the quality of service, every line and terminal we can lay our hands on is being put to work in an all-out effort to take care of as many of your friends and neighbors as possible until we can restore service to pre-war standards.

if you are waiting for a telephone, you can be sore your order will be filled in its proper turn } « t as soon as possible.

The paying price to the growers for 1546 Navy Beans will be 17.00. This Is 75c above the price for 1946.

With almost no 1946 beans on hand, the demand for beans Is rapidly mounting. The market outlets for

the 1946 crop will bo almost unlimited. Housewives, grocers, cannerx, elevaters all vrsnt beaas. F*Ip the

Michigan bean Industry supply this demand. Protect your market for the future by supplying the pres-

ent demand.

The acreage goal for bean planting Is 700,000 acres in Michigan—80% more than the 1946 harvested acre-

age. A crop of 1,000,000 bags Is needed from Michigan.

LEAGUE BASEBALL 1 Millions ot American men and

boys, and many women and girls aleo, are deeply interested in the baseball contests in the major and minor leagues. They read eagerly the newspaper ototrles of these games. They follow the work of individual players, and can talk intelligently about the records and achievements of many of them. It is Interesting to hear their dis-cussions. as they talk about these recollections.

Millions of people listen to the radio reports of the ball games, and are thrilled by the sounds from the ball field. The scene is pictured to their eyes, and they are etirred when their favorite team gets into a tight spot. Thus baseball makes its way Into the daily life of the people far from the ball grounds.

CHAPTER VI

"Do you know why I'm wanted?" Sherwin asked, still standing.

The old fellow nodded. "'Seen th' paper you had In your pocket, Sher-win. You'd marked the description, and it dropped t'other day an' I saw it. Th* sheriff talked some, too. when we were goin' to look for th' place where Jordan jumped the creek. I ain't askin' questions. You sit down an' eat."

Sherwin sat down. "You're a good man," he said chokingly.

"I'm old." said MacDowell quiz-rically. "1 ain't dead set on pun-ishing other folks."

"Except Jordan," said Sherwin. Mac laughed. "Well, maybe! Eat,

son, you may have • long hike. You can't take th* trains; Cutler'll have your picture up in 'em."

Sherwin nodded, eating in silence. Half an hour ago. with Jane's eyes changing as they looked at him. food would have choked him. but he was hungry now and he ate mechanical-ly. Old Mac, silting down oppo-site. filled his pipe and lit it. Neither of them spoke for a while and the light began to fail It was still day-light outside but the little room was in the shadow of the big ranch-house and it was so dim that Mac rose, got a lamp, lit It and set it on the table. Sherwin had finished his meal and he thrust his plate aside, look-ing across at the old man's face be-hind the camouflage of tobacco smoke. At last he spoke hoarsely, forcing himself to It.

"You said a while ago—when you were tending my arm—that—Miss Keller was to marry Stenhart. Is thai true?"

MacDowell considered, pulling on his pipe. "I've heard Jim say to. You don't like Stenhart?"

"He's my cousin." Sherwin said in a fiat, emotionless voice.

The Old man started and took his pipe out of his mouth. "Gosh!" he ejaculated, and stared at the young man dumbly

"He's my cousin and his testimony sent me to jail for life," said Sher-win, and his voice shook. "He lied. He lied me out of the way for fear I'd break our uncle's will He got everything."

"An' you're accused of klllln' th' uncle because he'd cut you off. ain't that it?" Mac leaned his elbows on the table, looking across it at the shadowed face of Sherwin.

The latter nodded. "The old sto-ry." he said shortly. "Uncle was killed In the garden. He was stabbed while he slept on the old bench by the cedars. I'd Just found him when Max came In the gate: he'd been up the street at the newsstand. He swore I had the knife In my hand. It was perjury but he got away with i t Uncle and I had had a differ-ence the day before, and people knew of it. That went against me, and Max swore me into jail for life. That's all."

Mac was silent for a while, then he grunted. "Did you tell Jim about it?"

Sherwin laughed bitterly. "He wouldn't believe me If I didl Hie jury didn't. I've served eight years. I was twenty-two when I was sen-tenced. Ever been In Jail?" he asked Ironically.

"Come mighty near it once, son. Punchln* a rogue's head got me ar-rested. but somehow th* judge kind-er agreed with me that It needed punchln'." . " i f g like being In hell—to shut r healthy man up behind stone walls tor life." Sherwin said bitter-W. "I won't be taken If I can belo

It; I'd rather dle^-only Tpt got something to do first"

The old man looked across under the lamplight again; somethlnf In the white face opposlle moved him deeply. Sherwin was a stranger, ht was an escaped convict, yet—

"Don't do It, son," old Mac said gently.

Sherwin, startled, raised his bloodshot eyes to his. "You know?"

"1 reckon I do!" Sherwin rose and began tq walk

about the room. "1 came out here to find him. He wasn't In his usual haunts In the ci ty-so they told me and I'd trarked him patiently, tracked him to Keller's ranch, when I stumbled Into your accident and motored you here. It was pure luck. I thought, to get here «o easily— without credentials, tool"

MacDowell nodded. ' He's gettln' well an* he's sure to hang around Jane."

Sherwin said nothing, but his hands clenched until the nails hit Into the palms. In the silence the little room seemed full of Jane's presence. Again he saw her eyes change, saw her recoil! A shudder ran through him. fury leaped up In him. he remembered Stenhart's white face, his cowardly cry: "Don't let him kill mel" Again he paced up and down. No words were spoken. Old Mac sat thinking, hte pipe In his hand. It was«stil1; then one of the men began to sing out under the trees. • Spanish song. In half an hour the moon would rise; now It was pitch dark outside.

Old MacDowell rose slowly, stretching his uninjured arm.

"Th' sherlfTU be around here for a spell, maybe thirty-six hours. You can't hardly miss him if you try to get out now; some of 'em will meet up with you. 1 tell you what I'll do—you come along with me now. bafore mounrise. an' I'll fix you up I've just been figurln' It ou t "

Sherwin stopped ir hi* pacing and looked at hlra, stranrely touched. "How about Keller? He wanted me to get out once."

"You ate t goto' to stay on th' ranch; you fcllvW me." Mac picked up the food-pack and opened the door.

A sudden gust of wind blew out the lamp. In the dark Sherwin

pressed his hands over his eyes; he was trying to shut out Jane's facel

They stepped out Into the night dark before moonrise. Lights streamed from the ranch-house win-dows. They could hear voices over there; once some one laughed loud-ly. Mac touched Sherwin's hand wamingly.

"We're goin' to th' stables; ain't no one there, an' we can saddle up."

"I can't take a horse from here!" Sherwin exclaimed sharply.

"Easy, son. I'll lend you mine to-night" said Mac. "1 can ride one of the ranch horses; we ain't goin' so terrible far."

They went to the stables and old MacDowell brought out the horses. Sherwin hated to lay a hand on one of them but he mounted when the old man told him the roan was his own property. Silently, after that, they rode past the ranch-house and out on to the twisting mountain road. Five miles up in the redwoods they passed the limits of Las Palomas. The wind from the hills grew cold, but the sky was brightening; the highest peaks were already touched with moonlight Sherwin turned in his saddle and looked down. Below him lay the ranch; he could Just see the lights In the house, mere pin-points of brightness. Darkness, like a velvet cloak, had fallen on the valley. He drew a deep breath. Jane was there. Jane, who had repudiat-ed him with her chill look, and Sten-hart! His hand clenched. Sten-hart's lie had sent him to prison, it pursued him still Resolve was V-ardening In him. he could not go

until he had killed him. He rode on again but all the while, he was aware of those lights down there In the darkness. He had lived eight years In prison but he was still young. The girl's eyes, her voice, her soft hands on his wounded arm, had kindled a flame; now the flame was made fiercer, more terrible, by Jealousy. Stenhart wna with her!

Then suddenly he was roused from his fierce revery. Old Mac drew rein.

"Get down," he said briefly. "We can hobble th' horses, we've got to hoof It the rest of the' way."

Tae moon was rislns over the top

ot the mountains »s Sherwin swung himself out of the saddle. They had left ths road and were on • moun-tain trail; great trees surrounded them, their spresdlng boughs mak> Ing • dense shade through which tha rising moon shot here and there, an arrowhead of light Mac-Dowell led, and, as they advanced, the almost Imperceptible trail grew narrower, tree-trunks of gigantic alse locked them In; far off was the sound ot rushing water, a mere mur-mur at their ears.

"Walk slow," Mae cautioned him, "th' path's mighty narrow In front now an' a mite treacherous. We're coming to the edge of s precipice, ain't nothing to save you It you fall."

"I hear water somewhere." said Sherwin.

"Mighty pretty little cascade be-low us. 'bout two hundred feet It's too far down for th' moonlight to strike It yet—mind th' turn now— there, you can see th' drop. It's mighty steep."

They stood on a narrow ledge. Some convulsion of nature had long ago rippt-d out the side of the slope. Behind them was a bit of sheer rock; on either side the greet trees stopped and there was only a nar-row path et the edge of a deep ra-vine. Far down a turbulent little river roared over the broken rocki and tumbled from a high cliff Into the depth below. The moonlight re-vealed a sheer preclr4*^ with noth-ing reaching out from It but one old, gnarled tree.

"A mighty bad place to allp." Sherwin said musingly; "easy to thrust • man over there—to his death I"

Old Mac grunted. "Mighty easy-but you ain't goin' to get th' chance, he's too lame a duck to get this taTl"

Sherwin felt the hot blood burn In his face; how easily the old man had read his mind!

Msc stopped now and pointed. Ig-noring what he had Just said.

"Th' cabin's hid In there—among I them trees I built It most forty

years ago. I hadn't no health those days; doc said I'd got to live out up here in the redwoods, so I knocked up th' shack. There used to be mighty good shootin' an' fishln'. It's stood weather better'a I expected. There ain't anybody knows about it —except Jane; she saw it once, I fetched hor up here. You cm camp here safe enough till I bring you word where Culter's gone.

Sherwin, looking ahead Into the dense shadows of the mountainside, saw a light Both men stood stilt electrified.

"By gosh!" Mac caught at his companion's arm and gripped It lis-tening. 'Tm darned if Jordan ain't up here—sure as shootinT* he whis-pered.

"In your cabin?" Sherwin smiled grimly, loosening his pistol in the shoulder bolster.

MacDowell cautioned him to si-lence with a gesture and they both crept forward. As they did so. Sher-win discerned the outline of a little cabin set in under a sycamore A rectangle of light appeared, the door was open! Softly, step by step, the two men approached, keeping in the shadow. Sherwin slipped behigd '.he house and looked In the win-dow, A man was sitting on the floor, smoking and reading a newspaper by the light of a candle. It was the outlaw! Sherwin signaled to Mac-Dowell and the old man came softly over and looked in. The man was an easy mark, but they did not shoot both loved fair play too well. Making a sign to Mac. Sherwin went quickly toward the thicker shadows ot the trees in front of the cabin, then, deliberately and slowly, he be-gan to tramp down dry twigs and make the noise • man might make In carelessly approaching from the woods back of the ravine. The sounds reached the rustler's cars. He extinguished the candle and stepped outside the door.

"That you. Kenny?" For answer Sherwin sprang for-

ward. pistol In hand, and old Mac emerged from behind the cabin with a roar.

"We've got you now. you skunk!" he shouted.

The outlaw dodged, dropped to his knees, rolled over like a ball and went spinning down the slope. Sher-win's bullet speeding after him. A sailing cloud suddenly obscured the moon and. In the darkness, a gun flashed below them and a bullet whistled past They heard a scram-bling falL Sherwin fired again Into the dark, a man cursed and si-lence followed.

"Dam that cloud, I can't see a thing!" old Mac whispered. "You think Jordan's down there. Sher-win?"

Sherwin. who had gone to the edge^ of the ravine and came back after the last shot answered as softly. "Yes! I can hear him scramble —I'm hanged if I know how he got ooroy withmit fnlHng OVCT tlu» preci-plce! There comes the moon—back out of range or he'll pick you off. MacDowell!"

They both stepped back Into the shadow of the cabin and waited, ex-pecting a rush by Jordan and his confederates, but nothing happened. Far below them they heard a twig snap and some gravel slide.

"Comln", I reckon!" Mac whis-pered.

Sherwin shook his head. "StQI go-ing. the same man. Very likely he's gone tor help."

"That's true, ain't any use stay-In'here to be shot at!" As he spoke he felt his way into the cabin.

"Want to risk lighting the can-dle?" Sherwin asked h.'m from the door. "I've got matches."

"Nope! We'd be targets sure then. I can see from th" moon. Where you goin'?"

*Tm going to stay here." "You'll have to give th' cabin up,

son; you'd have a batch ot them rustlers to fight—If he comes back."

"And the sheriff on the road,"

Sherwin noddeo. He bad other plans, but he would not tell them. He grasped the old man's hsnd. "Come, Tm going to see you off sste with the horses, then I'll come back here quietly."

Mac protested, grumbling, but he finally let the younger man accom-pany him to the road. Hla lame arm still made the old man more or less awkward. Sherwin helped him get the two horses snd saw him mount

Sherwin wrung his hand and stood under the trees, watching him go. The old man's blunt sympathy and active help had touched him to the quick. He watched until the old fig-ure in the ssddle and the two horses became mere specks on the white toad toward Las Palomas.

Although a lightning pro-tected building offers the best pro-tection. a cave or depression of some kind or a woodland is fairly safe. However, single trees or small groves of trees are not safe since they may be struck by light-ning.

Right Current • Before you plug your electric Iron

Into the circuit be sure the current is the right type tor your Iron. Irons without thermostats can be used on either alternating or direct current. An iron with a thermostat can be used only on alternating current, and plugging it Into direct current may mln the thermostat. If you should move, be sure to check on the kind of current in your new home. Al-Wayi attach the plug to the Iron flrst; then connect the plug to Uie wall outlet. Attaching the plug to the Iron after the cord has been con-nected to the wall outlet may cause sparkinR. Sparking slowly destroys the metal of the iron terminals and they will have to be replaced-

This is the first Memorial Day since the dose of World War IL

The heLfls of many are sad today because the ending of the War

did not bring back loved ones who gave their lives for tbeir coun-

try. This is the day ail of as pay tribute to tbese fallen heroes, as

well as to the memory- of the heroes of other wars.

But a grateful nation is aot only paying its respects to its hon-

ored dead but is making provision also for Hs living heroes

through the G. 1. Bill of Rights. It is fittiag and proper this-

Memorial Day 1946 to remind veterans of World War 11 about

their rights under the G. L bill

We know there are veterans of this last war who thiough mod-

e*y or some other reason have hesitated to avail themselves of the

rights which are theirs under the G. L bill Every citizen of this

great natioiu in grateful appredation for a job well done, is

anxious that every- veteran share in the provisions that have been

set up for Ms or her benefit

These oenefits including Education and Training. Loans to go

into business or to build a home. Pensions and care for disabled

veterans and many other advantageous features are yours, so use

them. If you are not entirely clear as to the privileges you are

entitled to under the bill, get ia touch with the Veterans' Admin-

istration direct or any local Veterans' Organization.

Bart V. Oolby. Ohartes L Colby.

Sponsored by officers and members of the Lowell Board of Trade, not only for the purpose of honoring the memory- or our soldier

dead but to pay tribste to our veteraas and to urge them in appreciation for services rendered, to use the facilities set up for their

Inflation Boom (Continued from first page)

Chester C. Darts, preaident, Fed-eral Reserve Bank of BL Louis, says: 'These days and the days ahead are packed with the most explosive elements with which this country'a economy has ever been confronted. We are still on unchar-tered ground with respect to the problems that may be Involved In managing a debt of |275 billions."

Based on all the evidence now at hand, It would seem prudent for farmers and buslnese men— everyone, in fact—to keep In mind that today's inflation boom is cer-tain to crack; that debts Incurred today will be doubly hard to pay off tomorrow.

p t E. Main Bt Lowell

Six months ago this column pointed out: "Higher hour rates for workers are bound to result in higher prices. That i s why many economists forecast more inflation ahead, and why stock market pri-ces have been climbing higher. In the meanwhile, it is Hkely that we wiil see a repeUtion of the 1919 labor crises which brought 3,630 strikes involving more than 4,000, 000 workers. Post-war prosperity got fully under Vay in 1923. The big crash came in 1929."

T h e Truman administration's policy of encouraging higher wages has been a dud. It has been calcu-lated that General Motors employ-ees will have to work nine years and seven weeks before they can get back the wages they lost dur-ing the long costly atrike against the management last winter. GM offered 18% cents an hour, the union demanded 18H cents an hour—a difference of 6 cents.

Since the GM employees got their higher wages, the OPA has granted two raises in the price of automobiles. A third is anUcipated. Higher wages for coal miners will bring higher prices for ever/one. If railroad employee® win their gun-ai-your-head strike, the public will pay for it in higher freight and paasenger rates. There is no substitute for work; there is no substitute for production^

Although ws have more educa-tion than any other people, the state of economic literary among our (people Is appallingly low. Since our leaders at Washington are con-fused and terribly Inept in explalu-Ing their own economic confusion, the situation today is doubly criti-cal. We are drifting toward state socialism—statism of government controls.

Will we find a t th s end of this IHusive postwar rainbow, a bigger and better depression as the ty of our own stupid ment? Will we find the Happy Days of 1946 but a Will-of-the-wisp mirage? So It now ceema.
