The third annual mcellng of the Ingham County Farm Bureau was hold at the court room last Saturday aELcrnoon, with about twenty-flvc delegates from the neighboring town-sliip bureaus present. The President, L. T, Lasenby, called the meeting Ip order, after which the secretary, Frank Seely, gave his report, which told lirlelly of the, splendid condition of the State and Ingham County Farm Bureaus. Ho showed the Slate organization has a likely amount of money on hand to do business with, instead of the deflcit of last year, and also slated that tlio county bureau lias hud a cash balance In the banks at all llnios during the past year,

Mi \ Scely pointed out tlial the thriving condition of the local or­ganization . is largely rosponslbio liirougli llio economical way in which the officers have conducted Uio busi­ness. Tlio money received from tlie slate farm bureau from llie 1921 col­lections totaled .?3,!)57.35, and with the balance on hand at the close oi the :iU2:i year's business makes the total cash for 1!)21-1923 :i;5,r.G4.S2.

Candidates Will Not Be Banquet Guests

The republican candidates on ' the county ticket have started something —something that will .likely serve as a precedent through the coming years. They have refused to don their best "bib and tucker" tor the Zach Chandler banquet Friday even­ing In Lansing and opcupy seats of honor along with the speakers and distinguished guests. They said they woBld i'eel much more at home if tUey were allowed to slip into white aprons and coats and help serve. This pre­sented something of a conundrum to the banquet committee headed by the genial Dr, Shaw of Lansing. "Doc" stuttered and hedged when he was in­formed that he had to make use of the fifteen or eighteen volunteers. "Wlmt am I going to do with the lady candidate, Mrs, Harkness," he asked, "Don't you worry, she can lake care of liorself," volunleei'ed Sam Kiley, president of the club. Just then some .vouiig wag offered t'le suggestion that Dr, Siiaw allow Grant Hudson to pass the beer. Frank Young, the Baptist candidate for slate senator insisted tiuit water be substituted. The officers and committee heads had quite a controversy, but in the end it was deckled that llie candidates wish­es be complied with. However, tliej are taking fearful chances, for should tlioy In their inexperience pour hot coffee down the sliirt front of ,some influential ward boss, they would bo almost sure to lose liis political sup­port on the coming Tuesday at the polls.

Feiul,

In this issue of the NEWS begins a new novel "The Strength of the Pines," by the author of the unusual story of the "Voice of the Pack." These stories are from the pen of EdLson Marshall, one of the youngest of American writers, but one of the most firmly established,

"The Strength of the Pines" Is a splendid story of life in the open, of 6lood-stirrlng adventure and of a brave man, inspired by the love of a woman, winning out against odds. An Oregon mountain. feud supplies the theme of this new novel, in which the author displays intimate knowledge, of the great out-of-doors and the denizens of the forest, A man, of mountain stock, educated in the.cit­ies, naturally takes up the ways of the men of the wilderness when he Is projected Into his life by a desire to solve a mystery of his boyhood! Bruce Duncan's return to Trail's End renews the feud in which his father has been killed and his childhood playmate, Linda, are menaced by the evil Turner clan, with the forces of the wilderness an impartial but im­portant factor,

"The Killer ," master of the pine forests—an enormous, fearless grizz­ly, the last of his race in the moun­tain ranges—dominates more than one scene between the fighting hu­mans whom he hates and hunts.

Follow this brilliant, absorbing novel starting as a serial in this week's issue. >

There will be at least three con­tests In Ingham county at the coming election, next Tuesday, November 4th, the results of which will be watched with considerable interest.

It is generally conceded that Woodbrldge N, Ferris, twice governoi of Michigan, will give Senator diaries B, Townsend a hard race for the sen­ate seat. Ferris has the backing of the Booth interests in Detroit, which have been actively anti-Newbeny ever since the campaign of 1918, Townsend, on the other hand, haa been able to heal many of the soro spots caused by tiie primary fight, and It is predicted that he will win out by a narrow margin. The Jackson man has boon a hard worker in the Senate and his friends point out.that should lie bo defeated, Michigan would suf­fer from the fact that Ferris would be a new iiiau and would get no' im­portant committee appointments and further, tiiat llie Big liaiiids man is so old that it is a foregone conclusion lie would occupy Ih'' ""at but one term.

Groesbeck is anothui ndidale on the republican ticket who will not get the united support of the vot.ers of his party in this county. One man put it this way, "If Dick Fletcher could carry Ingiiam county in the primaries, It Is a cinch that there will bo a gi'eat many republicans who will vole for Cummins at the coming elec­tion," Be that as it may, it Is said tliat Groesbeck's strong Wayne coun­ty support has not been seriously in­terfered with and he will be able to beat Cummins because, of the im-

"I predict that Ingham county will be recognized as one of the best, it not the best and finest dairy section In the State of Michigan," Is the statement made by Mr. Koffenhaffer of the Cleveland Board of Health. Mr. Koffenhaffer this week completed the final Inspeclion of the farms of the |)atrons of the Laboratory Prod­ucts Co, of Mason, and he was greatly pleased with the big improvementsi wlilch had been made since the first inspection was made.

There were a few cases where pat­rons had neglected or refused to clean up premises as prescribed by the Cleveland authorities, Mr, Koffen­haffer ordered the local company to discontinue buying mtlk from these patrons. Nearly all of the patrons iuul met all the requirements of the inspection and Mr, Koffenhal'fer's call was a mere formality.

Manager Uhodes of the local com­pany this week announced that he had been authorized to pay $2.20 per hundred for 3.5 milk during thb monlli of November. This is an ad­vance of 10c a hundred over the Oc­tober price. The local plant slIU leads all condonsarles in the slate In price paid for raw milk, and have paid the highest price in the United States during most of the months during the past summer. The excel­lent quality of milk received at Mason is, in a large measure, responsible for the high price paid here.

During the past week the Mason plant was visited by F, L . Chappel of New York City. Mr, Cnappel is In­terested in the Slicffield Farms Co,, one of the two largest milk concerns in this country. The Sheffield Co. have New York City as their market and are contemplating establishing a now plant. Mr. Chappel came lo Ma­son to Inspect the local plant which is recognized as one of the finest in the whole countiy.

Tost« Over .Fifteen Days Shows Big VjHiatlon Of Fat F r m Hllk Of Herds—^Ijiist Drawn M i i t •T.Uest.

Mr. Editor—Referring to your ar­ticle of last week relative to our re­cent bird-hunting trip in the vicinity of St'. Helens, Michigan, and to cer­tain allegations in that article reflect­ing upon my ability as a school teach­er, I wish to call your attention, and the attention of the readers of the NEWS, to the following facts:

I do not mind having been thrown out of a school house by a bunch of 8-year-old boys, but you failed to tell your readers the whole truth regard­ing Incidents on this trip. Is it not a fact that while you were meandering through a swamp that "Jimmy" Thbrburn shot you in the legs, think­ing you wore a big jack rabbit? Is it not true that you were so frightened that you ran the remaining eleven miles to camp and so strained your legs that the cords and your feet be­came swollen and you had to borrow a pair of No. 11 shoes to get homo with? Much as I dislike lo mention it. Is It not true lliat you had lo buy seven birds to make out your "string" of ten—not to mention the tliree that I gave you. You did not tell tlio pub­lic how you became exhausted on two different occasions and I had to carr> you to l:he camp on my back, -•

• I very much deplore liaving lo humiliate you by'mentioning some of these facts. Your lack of physical strength is not your fault, I have, however, always given you credit for being able to use your head, and I cannot understand why you did not take advantage of your slim stature and hide behind one of those numer­ous 2-iijch poplar saplings when "Jimmy" mistook you for the cotton­tail.

Keally, I believe that if my legs were as slim as yours and they failed so completely to function as coiiimon carriers for the rest of my carcass, as do yours,—then I should cut them off and use them for a ramrod for my "22" rifle,

Variation in the test for butter fata of factories buying milk and cream is said to have caused' considerable crit­icism among the milk prod,ucers in Michigan. For the information of the farmers and dairy men in Michi­gan, the state department of agricul­ture has issued the following state­ment;

"Everyone knows that high pro­ducing cows show variable fat per­centages, but few owners of 'grade herds realize that the average test for one day may be very different from what It Is another day. In con­nection with the work of checking factories as to the reliability of their butter fat tests, Purdue university of Indiana, has had occasion to test milk from grade herds and note the varia­tion of fat tests.

"Over a period ot 15 days one herd in July shdwed a test variation of from 3.84 to 4.4, while during the same period another showed a varia­tion of from 3.2 to 3,9, and another from 4„1 to 5,1'. It was noted that an average size herd had a test of 4.2 one day, a test of 5.2 the next day, and the following, day d test of 4.3, Still another herdithat tested 3.7 one day showed a test the succeeding day of 4,7, Witluthese variations it is apparent that the tests for i either milk or cream should very not only from day to day biit from month to month. .

"Various experiment stat^9ns have endeavored to account for the causes of yariation in cow's milk and among the common cause? are the following:

"Variation In time between milk-ings, the -interval/between milkings, dryness of milking, the influence of the weather, the physical condition of the cows, time of lactation period, season of the yea:r, and age of th^ cow. • , •

;^'With all these conditions normal and uniform it has been-found that the milk will varjy. Mbrnii^g's milk usually tests lower than night's milk. . "The Missouri station found a great variation between the test of milk first drawn and that last drawn. This, station found a test of ,3.1 of a cow that had just come.into the barn, while ihe same cow's' milk gradually Increased-'to 6.8 per cent. The sta tion/further found that when the cow. was allowed to stand in the barn two hours before milking the first ihilk drawn showed a ..test of ii .4, 'and the last milk if left in the .udder, will greatly affect the test'or the foUow-i n g ^ m l l k .

Ingham county republicans will assemble at the Masonic Temple in Lansing Friday evening of this week for the annual Zach Chandler ban­quet. Dr, Ganfloild, president of Car­roll college, Wisconsin, is slated for the main address of the evening and those who have heard Dr, Ganfleld, state that Ingham county is fortunate to secure this eloquent man. Ganfleld, it might be stated, was the man se­lected by Wisconsin republicans to oppose Senator LaFollette for renom-Inatlon, LaFollette's well organized machine in those sections of the state where socialism runs rampant, prov­ed too strong for the Ganfleld forces. This fact, however, does not detract from Ganfleld. as a wonderful speaker and those who are fortunate enough to hear him Friday evening will be well repaid.

President Friday ot the' M, A. C, will also be on the program. It is probable that the Agricultural Col­lege head will speak on state affairs and particularly on several phases of this state income tax which will be voted upon next Tuesday, Friday is recognized throughout the United States as one of the foremost econo­mists and his statement regarding the affairs of the State of Michigan and the advisability of adopting new measures may be accepted as authori­tative.

This fall the banquet was taken to the.Masonic Temple and the dining room there will accommodate about 500 people. It is' likely that before this Is printed all th'e available tickets will be sold.

Some excellent musical numbers are being arranged for by the pro­gram committee headed by Spencer D. Kelley. ;Also, an effort is being made to get Secy. Denby tO Lansing as It Is known that he will be In the state on that date.

Candidates for county office have expressed their desire to assist those serving the banquet this year Instead of occupying seats with the speakers. This Is somewhat of an Innovation, but Dr. Shaw heading the banquet committee, accepted the suggestion and promised to put the candidates In white coats and aprons and let them serve.

At the beginning of the second half, Illl-nois klcked-off to Michigan and Bernard Kirk, an Ypsilantl boy, caught the ball on the twenty-yard line. That meant that Kirk was eighty yards away from Michigan's goal. As the ball was kicked, eleven Illinois men started for Kirk, They intended to stop him as quickly as possible. Ten other Michigan men were on the Held to protect Kirk and make it possible for him to advance the ball. Several of Kirk's companions disposed of a like num­ber of Illinois tacklers. At least three opponents slipped by and dove at Kirk's legs. The Ypsilantl boy dodged, twisted, fought and finally succeed­ed in shaking off the three big huskies. It was spectacular work and a great exhlbiliou of dogged grit. It left Kirk with about fifty yards to go and but one 7iian, Dawson, the star of the Illinois team, between him and the goal. Dawson was fast—faster than Kirk, Dawson was determined to stop Kirk. Ho charged toward the runner and gained until within a few feet of him. Then Kirk made a supreme effort. He thought he was caught, but he was not going to stop until he had gained the last possible yard. Dawson meas­ured the fast diminishing distance between himself and the runner with his eye, and then dove tor Kirk's legs. The Ypsilantl lad, nearly winded and spent from his long run, veered desperately to one side, and slipped out of Dawson's clutching grasp. It was a simple matter to stagger the last few remaining yards to a touchdown, where he lay on the ground several minutes completely exhausted.

Touchdowns on a college football field will never make Bernard Kirk a successful man. Fighting oft tacklers will soon be a thing of the past-^ Kirk will graduate next year. Out-sprinting other men plays an unimpor­tant part In the life of the average individual. A l l these things may go for raught, but the spirit this doughty Michigan lad showed last Saturday will make him a success in nearly any line of endeavor. Forty-two thousand Michigan fans and undergraduates went wild. They rose as one person and the great roar of approval was deafening. The yells of "Yea-a-a-a-Kirk, r ight 'em, Fight 'em, Fight 'em," roared and resounded across Ferry Field. And the 42,000 people who saw this spectacular exhibition of physical prowess and courage went homo with a vivid example of what pure grit will do In an emergency.

Seldom is a touchdown scored from a kickoff. Ten Michigan men belped Kirk with their teamwork. However, bad he besltated the smallest fraction of a second, he would have been stopped long before he reached his soal. I

Bumper crops mean little to a farmer If the price of that which he has raised slumps proportionately to the Increase in yield. In fact, under such conditions, the farmer is ahead of the game in the years when the crop is smaller. He has to work harder to harvest a large crop; he has to have more barn room; it costs more money for twine and labor, and it takes more time to market bumper crops.

Three times this fall we have paid farmers more money for their pro­duce than we could have bought it for. This was not because we had any money to throw away, not because we wished to extend charity. We paid -what we believed to be a fair price for a few bushel of fruit and vegetables— a price which represented a small profit to the man who bad by; his hard work and Industry produced the commodity. Good business tells a man to buy as cheaply as possible. But when it comes to getting goods at la price which represents a loss to the man who has produced those goods, we doubt it the buyer really profits by the transaction. He may profit In dollars and cents, but who wants to mnke money that way.

While we are discussing this phase of the farmers business, we might mention that we have had otber.experiences. A farmer came to the NEWS office not long ago and wanted to trade apples for a subscription. We allow­ed him fifty per cent more, than the market price for apples, and credited him one year in advance. Two days later he sneaked two bushels of "wind­falls" onto the back porch at the house, and hurried away. These ,apples were one-third rotten. Al l of them were bruised and were unfit/to eat within three days after delivery. They were unfit for cider apples—and that bid sneak probably has an idea that be profited by the deal. We had much the same experience, with a man on a big load of wood during the coal short­age in 1918. Both misrepresented and both, apparently, felt that they had accomplished something for themselves.

We've got a hunch that when they depart this life and go to meet old St. Peter, the one will have to eat two bushels of rotten apples before he can proceed further, and the other man will be assigned to a place lower down and made to stoke hot fires with rotten basswood chunks whUe hla eompan* ions In misery are furnished good beech and maple slab*.

More and more often, it seems, one aees little mothen-^hild motben. It you i^lease. We can think of few thinga more pathetic than the slrht of a, young girl In her teens,-poorly dad; undernourished, and whose appear­ance clearly indicates that she and her husband are having trouble to aequire the necessities ot life. And If she Is carrying In her arma a husky youngster a few months old, the picture Is doubly, depressing. These girls who have hurried into an early marriage and who have become mothers, when they Bhouldbe at home under the care of their own mother, walk along the street •watchinf other light-heated young girls of their own age wisttully. Their own girlhood; their best years and the happiest years of their lives, have been iorfelted., Too^otten they do not receive the consideration from their boy husbands they, should. Too often these thoughtless marriages culmi­nate unhappily and .In the divorce courts. Neither of the two people In-Tolved have a fair chance In l | f e , a n j ^ i r children are, to be pitied.

Inasmuch as I get the home papei every now and then, thru my father, I am writing to tell you that I am glad such a means' is offered me to' keep In touch with the old home town and my old stamping ground round about Mason. You have some very excellent editorials apd I enjoy reading them.

The main reason for iwrltlng this to 70U Is In my reading In the per* sonals ot your issue of the 12th, I think; that someone brought to your office soine peaches from a tree three years old and that one of them meai* ured 9 Inches In. diameter. Some peach! Now those ot you who have visited California have all noted how the natives here delight' In bragging up their fruit especially the oranges afid many stories have been told in regard to the size of some of them. I showed your article to one of them and he 'wanted 'me to write and tell you that you have won .first pHie in contests of this kind and that from now on California wi l l have to taken back seat. Now what I want to know Is, who measured the peach?

Everything here is about as usual except that we have not had any rain as yet but are expecting same any day. We have had bumper crops. In everything this year: as I read you have had. .Our, tall Is very delightful altho I miss the beautiful' autumn weather back east add the cool OctO' her nights with the falling leaves and. hugh bonfires: etc.; that we used to de­light In as kids. Sincerely,

IS ELECTION DAY

(Continued from page one) mense republican majority in the state,

D. D. Harris of Webberville, the democratic candidate against Warren D. Byrum of Leslie, has been putting up an active campaign. However, it is not considered likely that the vot­ers of the county will replace the Les­lie man who has been a conscientious worker in the legislature and holds an important position on the Ways and Means committee, Mr. Byrum is a fanner and his inclination is toward economy. His position oh this im­portant committee will enable him to do much toward the reductions of state expense.

There has been a hot fight on for the office of sheriff ever since the primary election results were an­nounced. Claude C. Atchison," repub­lican, is opposed by Henry Behrendt, former Chief of Police ot Lansing, and United States Marshal. Behrendt is well known and advertises 23 years ot experiences as a peace offi­cer. Atchison'^- advertising states that he "has not held public office for 23 years," the inference being that Behrendt is a perpetualoftice seeker. Atchison has further come out fiat-footed on a dry law enforcement pledge. It is probable that he has the hardest fight of any of the repub­lican candidates.. Republican leaders in Lansing are predicting his election, however,—and that is where the large majority ot tho votes are cast.

Miss JTreida Schneider, democrat and former city treasurer ot Lansing, and Mrs. Lorena Harkness of Mason, for five years deputy county treasur­er, are tho contestants for the office of county treasurer. 'Mrs, Harkness has a distinct advantage in the fact that republican majorities are large and her experience has well fitted her for the position to which she aspires. The Mason lady is entirely capable, accommodating, and should receive the united support of this vicinity.

With the exception of the two of­fices named above, it would appear that the balance of the county offices would go to republican candidates without serious opposition. Clark Chamberlain ot Willlamston, will pos-, slbly have the largest majority ot any ot the candidates. There are others who contend that the wonderful showing made by Myles F. Gray at the primaries In September would in­dicate that he was apt to be the most popular candidate. Gray's opposition from Wm. J . Barber of Mason, will tend to cut down his majority in this vicinity and In Leslie township where

Barber is well known and veiy pop­ular. Barber is an ex-service man and was wounded severely in action, He is at present one of the Supts, of Poor for this county.

Election officials and others who are familiar with the habits of voters, have mentioned one condition which is liable to exist at the coming elec­tion, It is a foregone conclusion that there wi l l be some "splits." Inex­perienced voters, in their anxiety to vote for a candidate not on their own party ticket, are likely to place ai^ " X " in front of that candidates name, and forget to make the " X " in the circle at the head of their own party ticket. In such a case, the voter will have voted for only the candidate not on their party ticket—the person tor whom they wish to "split" for. IN A L L CASES PLACE AN " X " IN THE CIRCLE AT THE H E A D OF YOUR PARTY TICKET. The instructions at the head of the ballot make this clear.

,The Howell high .school football team which romped over Mason last year to the tune of about 40 to 0 and which had trimmed Tecumseh and Plymouth ' teams this year by big' scores, had the hardest kind of com-petition last Friday, boating Mason 7 to 0, Apparently lack of confidence in the first quarter by the locals, their inability to cope with tho dazzling fonvard pass attack instituted by tho visitors, lost the game, Howell took the ball right at the start aad through a series of passes and end runs car­ried the ball to their goal, before the quarter ended. The second quarter found the locals in danger but the strong Mason line gained confidence as the contest progressed and Capt. Kruse booted the ball out of danger­ous territory;

In the second half it was a differ­ent story. Mason assumed the offen­sive and a pretty battle was staged all through the third period. In the last quarter a desperate rally was made and the local boys carried the ball from their own 35-yard lln_e to within eight yards of the Howell "goal when the final whistle put an end to tho game, Howell's line was fast crumbling before the smashes of Dart and Minnis. Two minutes more would have resulted in a touchdown for the locals.

The most encouraging feature of the contest was the excellent defen­sive work shown by tho linesmen. Big George McArthur time and again slopped the Howell rushes without an inch of gain. And he was not alone In his good work. The visitors could not (Ind a weak spot during the last half. • Ch.arles Parkhui'st distinguish­ed himself by intercepting several passes. Dart, Kruse and Stewart arc other players whose Avork entitle them to special mention.

The locals go to East Lansing this week Friday for a tilt with the high scliool gridders of the college town, This game Is expected to be a hard one.

MasonNightwatchHas A Strenuous Evening

Bertie Brown is Mason's fearless nightwatch. George McArthur, son of Judge and Mrs, L. U. McArthui;, ia the biggest boy in high school-r-also George plays center on the football team. About two hundred other Ma­son kids, of varying ages, sizes and all with a kindred spirit of deviltry, complete the cast of characters of an incident which has made the people of Mason chuckle this week. As u.s-ual on Hallowe'en night, deviltry started when daylight faded.; Gangs of noisy small boys were r.acing up. and down the streets moving every­thing movable, and carrying every-thing they could lift. Nightwatch Brown was on the job. He conceived it his duty to keep the lads within bounds, prevent their dislodging the court house from its moorings, and generally show his authority. Tho kids, quick to recognize the interfer­ence with their fun, soon surrounded the arrogant officer and bombarded him with cat-calls. The streets rang with "Boo, Boo, Whointhehellare-you," Bertie would charge and the elusive little imps would scatter. Big­ger boys were.busy, in the meantime, accomplishing pranks of greater mag­nitude, Bert diverted his attention to these. He sneaks to a dark stair­way in the alley where tho depreda­tions were being committed and waited for some luckless youngster to come near enough to catch. In other words he "nigger-Qshed" for a victim and it was not long before he got a whale on his hook. It Is here that George McArthur enters. George came running down the alley. As he passed the stairway where Bert had cached himself, the officer leaped for him and landed on the unsuspecting boy's back. At first George thought it was one of his companions and goodnaturedly attempted to dislodge him. Bert, set upon making an ex­ample of some lad, had other inten­tions. He stuck and when George realized he was In the clutches of some enemy, ho poked his elbow back into the officer's ribs with consider­able force. Bertie grunted—regular man-sized grunts. The jabs hurt, and he told his victim to let up or he would use his' night-slick on him. George began to realize he was up against a serious proposition, • Ho shook himself and bucked like bronclio. He spun around on his heels while the officer's legs swished through the air. He dodged and twisted for half a block, but' still Bertie clung to his back like a leech Brown finally succeeded in tripping tho big lad and together they fell on the ground, George on top. More grunts—and some groans. When th(> nightwatch got hi.s breath, and when he could make himself he.ird above the delighted shrieks of the urchins who had gathered In numbers to cheer their companion in the melee Brown made it known that he wanted George to aceompaiiy him to the county jail. George agreed to go willingly, having up to this time con­sidered the tussle with the good phil­osophical nature he is noted for Brown, however, felt he had won a good fight and apparently wanted the poor prestige that goes with "takin a man to the cooler." Their trip to the jail could not have been entirely to the liking of the officer, for they were accompanied by a large escort of excitement-loving kids who told Bertie in no uncertain language where their sympathies laid.

Inside the Jail, Sheriff Silsby listen­ed to the sleuth's'account of the'en counter; saw the eviden(je of his skin­ned shins as he pulled up his trous­ers and displayed his wounds; noted his general mussed-up appearance and the fact that he had lost his cap in the fracas. Hugh, nearly choked to death trying to ask the customary questions in a dignified manner and keep his !face straight. Finally he shortly told the, officer, the boy and the gang to disperse, and as the door slammed shut, gales of laughter were beard coming from the office.

All 's well that ends "well. The nightwatch professed to be pleased with the outcome of the encounter, and spent the remainder ot the even Ing arguing with sassy gangs of kids. George laughed about the affair as he related his version of It the next morning.' Judge McArthur Is not al­together displeased. As a father he must not encourage lawlessness In his heir, but secretly he wishes he could have witnessed the fracas. But one thing Is bothering him. He wonders what the members of the Alaiedon Woman's Club will think when they hear of it—for it was only last week that he made them a most eloquent and authorltlve address on Child Wel­fare in its many- phases.

McinoBNr,

During the summer the members of the Aniei'ican Legion Auxiliary of the Browne-Cavender Post, No, 148, of Mason, pledged a certain amount of canned fruit and pickles for Roosevelt American Legion Hospital at Camp Custer, and as the lime has arrived when it should be sent, it i& requested that it should be brought to G, A. R, hall, or Hewlett's Imple­ment Store, on or before November 11, when it will be packed and ship­ped. Everybody interested, whether members ol\ the Auxiliary or not. Is invited to join in this drive. Mrs, Lena Dunsmore, president of the Unit has In her possession slickers on which each donor can write her name and address, aiid if she* adds a re­quest to have the can returned it will be done, with the hope that It will be refilled and sent again next year.

The committee at Roosevelt Hospi­tal much prefer that two quart cans be sent, but will not refuse anything that comes to them. Any community club, or any society wishing to send a box or barrel' of fruit, can send It direct to Mrs. Elizabeth Webster, 69 Groveland St., Battle Creek, who says the safest way to pack them is in open boxes or barrels with burlap nailed over the top. There is less danger of breaking this way, and the railroad companies will not l e re­sponsible for any damage done. Any one wishing • further instructions write to Mrs. Franc L. Adams, secre­tary o| the State Hospital Committee of the American Legion Auxiliary, Mason, Michigan.

.and his sun is in the west, When he's tasted all life's pleasures

and he knows which one's were best.

Then his mind is storeu with riches, not of silver and of gold.

But of happy, smiling faces and the joys he couldn't hold.

Age will tell you that the memorjTs the treasure house of man,

Gold and fleeting fame may vanish, but life's riches never can;

For tho little home of laughter and the voice of every friend

And the joys of real contentment lin­ger with us to the end.

Rest thee, friend! We too, shall .slumber,

Tho' perchance at set of sun; Dream of noon, or dream ot even,. Lo! the golden dream is one, Blessed dream, thrice blessed wak­

ing! Life and work shall reunite.

While the tie that knows no break­ing

Faith shall seal with love and light."

WOOLLY DOGS A R E USEFUL. < A widely known actress, says Nel­

son Keys, lost a little dog, She did not lose it tor publicity purposes, having a genuine affection for her pot, and she besought tho police to find it for her.

She spent a night of agony, Nexi day, lo her infinite relief, a constable called upon her, with the dog under his arm, Tho dog was very wet and very dirty, but the actress clasped it lo her bosom and covered it with kisses,

"Where did you find my darling?" she asked the constable,

"Why,-nium," replied the police-' man, "a fellow had him on a pole and was washing windows with him."— Answers, London;

• A special meeting of the. Women's Relief Corps was called last Tuesday and a dinner given for their Inspec-tor, Mrs. Myrta Tornbloom, of Lan­sing, who was here to Inspect the Corps. The officers did their work well and were highly praised by their Inspector. The G. A. R. men were guests of the Corps. The President, Mrs, Nettle Parks, has' been given a great honor In being chosen by the district as a delegate to the National convention of the W. R. C. to be held next year.

Clement and Susan Laxton, was born June 27, 1865, at the farm home in Vevay and departed this life October 27, 1922, Just 6 months and 12 days, following the death of his dear wife, whom he faithfully nursed through her long illness.

January 15, 1880, he was united in marriage to Emma Leach. To this union were born three daughters, Mrs. Orla Dlsenroth of Onondaga, Mrs. Harry Peek, who resides at the parental home,' where he had lived since! early marriage except 1% years In Mason, Just previous to Mrs..Lax-ton's death, and Mrs. John Mitchell of Leslie. He gradually declined the past two or three years; however his last and fatal illness was of .only a few days duration. It seemed a last­ing comfort to both parents that the) were privileged to again be In their home with their loving daughters to faithfully care for the^l. Mrs. Lax­ton was a; good neighbor and.a kind and generous husband and father. .He was .of contented nature, especially enjoying his' home life, and with his family- always held open house, es­pecially with'the children with whom he liked to frolic. ;

/Besides, the daughters he leaves three sisters, Miss Alice Laxton of Ve­vay,, Mrs. Lil l ian Perry of Harbor Springs,' Mrs. Mary Belcher uf Leslie, and tour brothers, Robert; Walter, Jesae and Arthiir, who halve always resided nearby and who were priv­ileged to be present at the departing

TO GIVE SECOND NUMBER OF PHniHARMONIC COURSE.

The Evening Star, Washington, D, C , says of the Case Concert the past season:

"The concert season in Wa.shington was opened yesterday afternoon by Anna Case, soprano, who gave a song recital. Miss Case was greeted by an audience which filled the National Theatre, with Mrs. Harding in the presidential box, accompanied by sev­eral members of the cabinet circle,

"Miss Case gave a program of charming songs, ranging from the an­cient to the modern. The program had an added Interest in a new song by Miss Case, which was received with spontaneous applause by the audience. It is Spanish in type and rhythm, and she sang it in excellent Spanish. Miss Case displayed bril­liant attainments as a linguist, sing­ing in Italian^ German, French, Swedish, Spanish and English. Her phrasing and breath control were de­lightful, her light, delicate vocal word exquisite, and her enunciation, by which' no word was lost to her hearers, was excellent, adding much to the effectiveness of her singing."

Miss Case will appear on the 2nd concert of the Lainslng Philharmonic Course, November 8.

ports received by the United States Depnrtnioiit ot Agriculture, the exten­sion organization of Coos county. Ore., Is strivlni; to eliminate.

About thirty calves from the best stock In Coos county wore saved last year by urrangemoiits made with farm buroiuia (if otlier counties to take tliein when two weeks old at !!;i2 a head, crated and delivered at the oxprosh •ofllce.

Tlio reports also ,suy that calves two wouks old aro shipped saioly as far aa r;00 miles, or for HO hours' travel; day-old calves can rarely htf shipped.

PUREBREDS AID MILK YIELD

Tribute to Value of Improved Sires Is Contained In Statement by

J. C. McDowell.

A tribute to the value of purebred .sires l.s contained In a recent state-juioiit made by ,T. C, McDowell, of the dairy (llvlsinn of the United States DeinirtnH.Mit of Agriculture, who point-•ed out that the average production of 38,000 grade cows In cow testing as-aoclatloiis In ]!)20 was 5,980 pounds of milk niul 300 poimds of butter, while tho averaKo prmluctlon of all cows in tho United States was 4,000 pounds of inllk and 200 pounds of butter. The average milk and butter yield of grade cows was 50 i)«r cent higher than the average for all grades and .scrubs tak­en together. The economy of produc­tion was over 100 pur cent greater.

INCREASE FAT ECONOMICALLY

Best Plan Is to Put Cows on an Abun­dant Ration That Is Rich and

Easily Digested.

In a herd of well-fed cows It Is not liracticul to try to produce milk con­taining more fat by giving rich feeds; that is a pretty well-se.ttlod fact. In a lierd ot iworly-fed cows, though, the percentage ot fat can be increased by putting the cows on abundant rntlori that Is rich and easily digested. Tests in New York showed an Increase of one-quarter of 1 per cent ctf fat, when tho cows were kept on good feeds for two years, The Increase was econom­ical, too. There was 50 per, cent in*

i» crease in amount of milk produced. .

WAY TO AVOID L E A K Y TEATS

Oood Plan to Apply: Collodion After Each Milking—This Closei Up

the Opening."

The only way to prevent leaky , tents Is to smear collodion oh the end of the teat after each milking. This closes up the opening and before the next milking it must be removed. This Is bothersome,'but may be used to gootl advantage where the cow loses a quan­tity of milk. -

©, Westorn Nowspnper Union. HOW WALAPAI C L A R K ENDED

"THE A P A C H E TERROR" Although the worst Indian war in

Arizona ended In 1880, wlien Chief Cicronlnio surrendered to General Miles, ten years later a lone Apache warrior was still carrying terror to the hearts of the .settlers In that state. l*he Apache Kid was his nanae. Ho had onco been a scout- for our troops; then his "heart wont bad"; he deserted his conunand and joined the hostllcs. When Geronimo sur­rendered, the Apache Kid "stayed out" and took the lone war trail.

Late In the,'OO's a prospector named .Tack Clark located a claim near Condon In the Santa Catallne mountains nortli of Tucson. Clark had been n scout' for the government in the Apache campaigns. He had lived among tlie Walapai Indians for many years ond.. bore the nickname of "Walapai" ^Inrk. One night an old puck innro of ciark's was stolen and the trail showed that it was the work of a lone Indian. Clark, felt sure It was the Apache Kid.

"Walapai" knew that unless the In­dian kept.thc marc securely tied she would escape and come back. A week Inter she returned. Believing that tlio thief would not give up such a valu­able animal so easily, Clark prepared for his return: That night he staked the mare' out in a little park and con­cealed himself in the tall grass near­by. After hours of waiting, the scout saw an Indian's head appear above the grass at the edge of the cJearlug. A second later anotlier appeared and both Indians crept toward the horse.

There was a full moon and Clark could not miss. He fired and tlie first Indian dropiwd. Like a flash the oth­er sped for Uie woods, "Walnpal" fired again. The Indian stunibled, almost fell and then disappeared. When Clark reached the dead Indian, he found she was u squawt The coward­ly Kid had made her go ahead so that she, would receive the deadly bullet If tiiey were entering an ambush,-

Clark knew better than to huiit for the woiinded Indian that night. The next morning he led a large party on the trail. Here and there they found spots of blood and further on a bloody headband. But ttiey never found the Apache Kid. His fate Is unknown, but It is believed, that he crawled away Into^o'ne of the many caves in the

.Santa Gatailnas to die, At any rate, hla^raids ceased. "Walapai" Clark had (ended "The Apache Terror.",;

Accord ing to a statement jus t issued by Edse l B . F o r d , President o f the F o r d Motor

Company, Detroi t , a general reduction of .?50.00 a car has been made i n the prices of F o r d Model T Cars and F o r d 1 Ton Truck, effective October 17th.

"The revision i n prices," said M r . Ford , " is the result of the increased volume of busi­ness which our company has enjoyed during the present year, and also, to the fact that we now own and operate many of our own sources of raw material , which enables us to continue increasing the quality of our product and alt the same time keep the price so low that Fo rd cars are i n reach of everybody. ' ,

"Our Production for 1922 is already in excess of a mi l l ion , which has been an important factor i n br ing ing down costs. Our present daily output is averaging better than 5,000 Cars and Trucks , which means a complete F o r d Car or T ruck every 5 i / i seconds of each eight-hour work ing day. I t i s i n anticipation of this continued demand that price adjust­ments are again being made i n order to keep i n effect the policy of sel l ing F o r d products a t the lowest price consistent w i t h quali ty.

"Qual i ty , as usual ," said M r , F o r d , " w i l l continue to be a pr ime consideration i n the building of F o r d Cars . A s our business has increased we have constantly increased our equipment and manufactur ing facil i t ies, so that this price reduction merely reflects the progressive methods wh ich come as a result of increased volume,

"Th i s reduction, wh ich is the s i x th since March , 1920, brings the price of the F o r d Tour ing C a r f rom $575, the price i n effect early i n 1920, to the present extremely low level of $298, which i s nearly 50% less. Corresponding reductions have been made, on a l l other types."

Most Noted Poultry IJieedwH In World lOiiter Tens For Jivciil

Shirting NovcHilici 1.

With pens entered from sovofal foreign countries, as avoII as I'rj'n many of the slates in Anferica, the hrst Michigan Agricultural Collnse International Egg Laying Contest liui under way at East Lansing this we-jK. .The contest will run from Nov. ). 1922, until Nov. ], 1923.

Some of the most famous poultry breeders m the world have entered their best stocli for the competition, according to Prof. B. C. Foreman, head of the M. A, C, poultry depart­ment, who is in charge of tlie contest. The result Is tiial. high records ai'o oxpcclod lo bo made dui'Ing the event, which will bo one of the biggest of its kind over held.

One hundred pens, all told, are en­tered, with birds from most ot the popular breeds represented. Includ­ed In the list of breeds are; Legliorns, Rocks, Rods, Wyandottes, Orping­tons and others.

Six now poultry houses, construct­ed at the college tor the express pur­pose of housing the contest entries, were completed last weelt in time for the incoming birds.

"Laying contests are popular now in all sections of the country and arc the only medium the utility ponltry-m:\.n has for getting official records on his stock," says Professor Poi'o-nian. "Records will also be available on all the interesting economic prob­lems, such as the amount of food re­quired by the various breeds and varieties, the number ot eggs produc­ed, the seasonal distribution, costs ot production, and all other facts In­volved In poultry economics.

"Tlio Tirospectivo poullrynian will also have an opportunity to study poultry characteristics before maU-ing linal decision on the breed he In­tends to carry for commercial pur­poses."

The only safe course is to protect the trunks ot young trees during the lato fall and winter months when there Is any possibility of Injury from mice and rabbits.'v

"Galvanized wire screen, three or four me.shes to the inch, is recom-niendcd tor this purpose by the M, A, C , horticultural department," says Professor Loree, "Protectors made from this material are expensive, but they will' last for several years and tlioy do not need to be removed. Wood veneer and building paper may bo u.sed successfully, but such pro-tcctoi'H must be removed each spring, and replaced in the ' tall. Heavy wrapping paper or even newspapers, when well bound around the trunkb of the young trees, will give protec­tion for a sea.son.'

"As an extra precaution, grass and weeds should be kept from growing near trees, and all trash which will serve as a nesting pjace for mice should be cleared away from ths trunks in the fall, for a distance of a foot or more in each direction.

"Mounding with .soil to a-height of about six inches around the base of the trees Is soniotlnics practiced to prevent rodent injury, and is often an advantage. The mounds should be removed In the spring."

Mice And l{«bl>its Knaw llnrk Of YoiniK' Trees, llnle.s.s Winter I'rolec-

Uon Is (iivcn, Sn.vs M. .A. C.

That mice and rabbits are often the cause of serious damage to young fruit trees, knawing Ilia Ijark to such nil extent that the trees die or become greatly weakened, is the warning sent out by Prof, R. .E. Loi'eo, of the Michigan Agricultural College horti-eultural department.

While some ti'oes wjijch are girdled in this way can bo saved by properly done bridge grafting early in the spring before growth starts, the in­jury with many i.s beneatli the ground and of such a nature that it is not practical to attempt to save them, once the rodents have been at work.

Kent county will join the list of state sections which are driving ac­tively for better dairy standards, when the special Dalry-AU'alfa .cam­paign, under the auspices ot the Michigan Agricultural College, starts In the county on November 6, to run for' two weeks.

ivent will bo the second county to take up the'inten.sive campaign work In the state this fall, Clinton county just llnishing a siniilar drive. Wash­tenaw will start a two weeks series on November 20, while Genesee, Ing­iiam, and other sections will take up the work later in the wlnl;er.

The county scries are pai't of the Ms campaign work being put on by the college in the intei'esls of more efficient dairying and creased alfalfa acreage tor Rtichlgan.

Local, or so-called "barn-yard" meetings, which are hold in every sec­tion ot each county by the teams put' ting on the campaigns, are the spec­ial features which mark the Dairy-Alfalfa campaigns. Every farmer in the county is given a_chanco to attend at least pne of the" demonstrations without going more than three or four miles from his own farm. In Kent county, for instance, 78 of these local meetings are scheduled.

This type of "direct contact" cani' palgn Is something new in agricul­tural extension work, and is proving so effective that striking results are apparent in the counties covered im­mediately following ttie campaigns..

ALBION—Thieves, whose evident object was just cigarettes, broke into the Wholesale.Grocer warehouse ot the Robert Baker company, located on East Michigan avenue some tinie .Friday night and stole about 25,000 cigarettes, valued at over $350.

The work was evidently that of per­sons who had acquainted themselves with the li^terior arrangements ot tho; building. Two window sash, side bj side,! In a window some eight or ten feet from the ground had been nailed together.. The thieves evidently dis^ covered this before attempting to rob the place. A ladder was probably placed at'the window and the two sash were pried apart .yrith ah Iron bar. Through, this window the thieves readily made their way Inside the warehouse, , . , '

Groceries of all quantities and de­scriptions were passed up by the thieves. Eyen quantities of fine cigars failed to attract their attention. They moved them to one side and finally lo­cated a^coupl6 of full cartons and a half carton of Lucky Strike and Cam­el cigarettes..These they lowered away from the windowand made good their escape. . \ "|

CHAPTER I

Bruce was wakened by the sharp ring of his telephone bell. Instantly he was fully aroused. In complete con­trol of all his facultlM. And this Is not especially common to men bred In , the security of ciTlllzntlon, Rather It is a trult of the wild creatures; a Uttle nintter that Is quite necessary If they care at ail about living. Fron-UuTHmcn learn the trntt, too; but as Bruce was a dweller of cities it aecmed somowbat strange In hira.

Then he grunted rebelllously and glanced nt hto watch beneetli the pil­low. He had gone to bed early; It was just midnight now.

Ho had no doubts whatever concern­ing tlio nature of this coll, There had t)con one hundred like It during the previous montlu His foster father had recently dle<l, his estate was being set­tled up, and Bruce had been having n somewhat strenuous time with his creditors. Ho understood the man's real financial situation at ln.it; nt his death tho whole business structure collapsed like the eggshell It was, nruco had supposed that most of the debts had been paid now; he won­dered, as he fumbled Into his bedroom flllppors, whether the thousand or so dollars that were left would cover tho cluim of the man who was now call­ing hlra to the telephone.

"This Is Mr. DiMican," he said cold­ly Into tho transmitter.

"How do you do, Mr. Duncan," a voice anstt'ercd. "I'urdon me If I got you up. I want to talk to your son, Briice."

Bruce emitted n little gnsp of nuuizeraont. Whoever talked at the end of the line obviously didn't know that tho older Duncan was dead. Bruce had a moment of grim humor In which he mused that this voice would have done rather well If It could arouse bis foster father to an-Bwer It. "The elder Mr. Duncan died last month," he answered simply.. There was not the slightest trace of emotion In his tone. No wayfarer on the street could have been, as far aB facts went, more of a stranger to him; there was no sense of loss at his death and no cause for pretense now. "This ta Bruce speaking."

Ho heard the other gnsp. "Old man, I'm sorry," his contrite voice came. "I didn't know of your loss. This Is Barney-Barney Wegon—and I Just got In from the West. Haven't' hud a bit of news for months. Accept my| earnest syrapnthles—"

"Barney! Of course." The delight grew on Bruce's face; for Barney We-gnji, a man whom he had met and learned to know oh the gym floor of bis I club, was quite near to being a real friend. "And what's up, Barney?"

The man's voice changed at once— ' went back to Its same urgent, but ntiier embarrassed tone. "Tbu.wont bdiove' mo if I tell you, so I wont try toi|toll you over the 'phone. But I must come np^rlght away. May i r

"You can't Imagine the change that came ovdr her. I thought she'd die of heart failure. 'The whole thing, Bruce—If you must know—gave ma the creeps. Tell htm to come here,' she begged me. 'Don't lose a moment As soon as yon get home, tall him to come' here.'

reollaatlon of some terrlblo tragedy and terror the nature of which he could not even guess.

"She's been through flre," the nurse told the doctor when he came In and the door had closed behind the Woman. Bruce did remember these words, be­cause many years elapsed before he completely . puzzled them out, The nurse hadn't meant such flres as swept through tlie far-spread ever-green forests of the Northwest. It was some other, dread flre that seared the spirit and burned the bloom out, of tbe face and all the ^gentle lights out of the eyes. It did,-however, leave certain lights, but they were such that their remembrance brought no pleasure to Bruce. They were just a wild glares a fixed, strange brightness as of great fear or Insanity. , .

The Woman had kissed him and gone quickly; and he had' been too young to remember If she had carried any sort of bundle dose'to her breast Yet the man considered, there must have been Bueh a bundle—otherwise he couidnt pbaslblj account for Linda. And there were no doubts abont her, at all.

to him. And sonietlnies he-drew In­dians and cowboys. And one day— when he wasn't half watching what he was doing—he drew something quite different.

Perhaps he wouldn't have looked nt It twice. If the teacher hadn't stepped up behind him nnd taken It out of hls hands. ,It was "geography" then, not "drawing," nnd he should have been "paying attention." And he had every reason to think that the teacher would crumple up his picture nnd send him to the clonk-room for punishment.

But she did no such thing. When her eyes glanced down, her flni,'ers\ slowly stralRhtened, Then she looked again—carefully. . "What Is this, Bruce?" she asked. "What have you been drnwlftg?"

"I—I don't know," the child nn-Kwerod, He looked nnd for nn Instant let his thoughts go wandering here nnd there. "Those nre trees," he said. A word caught at his thront and he blurted It out. "Pines I Pine trees, growing on a mountain."

"Not bad for a six-year-old boy," the teacher commented. "But where, Briico, have you ever seen, or heard of such pinee?" But Bruce did not know.

Another puzzling adventure that stuck In Bruce's memory hod happened only a few months after his arrival nt tho Square bouse, when a man had taken hlin home on trial with the Idcn of adoption.

All the InddontD and details of the excursion with this prospective parent were extremely dim' and vague. He did not know to what city he went nor had he any recollection whatever of the people he met there. But he did remember, with remarkable clearness, the perplexing talk that tbe man and the snperintendent of tbei Square house bad together on his return.

"He won't do," the stranger ha'd said. "I tried him out and be won't fill In In my family. And I've fetched him back.

"I believe In being frank, nnd 1 tell you there's something vicious In that boy's nature. It came out the very first moment he wns lUv the house, when the Missus wns Introducing hhn to my elKht-year-old son. 'This Is lit­tle Turner,' she .said—and this boy .sprang right nt him. I'd never let little Turner learn to fight, and this boy wns on top of him and was pound­ing him with lil.s fists before' we could pull him off. I didn't understand It at all."

Nor did the superintendent under­stand; nor—In these Jnter years-Bruce either.

He was quite a big boy, nearly ten, when he finally left the Square house. And there was nothing flickering or dim about the memory of this occasion.

A tail, exceedingly .slender man sat beside the window—« man well dressed but with hard lines about his mouth and hard eyes. Yet the superin­tendent seemed particularly anxious to please him. "You will like this sturdy fellow," he sold, as Bruce was ushered In.

The man's eyes traveled slowly from the child's curly bead to his rapidly growing feet; but no gleam of inter­est came Into the thin face. "1 sup­pose belli do—as good as any. It was the wife's Idea, anyway, you know. What about parentage? Anything de­cent at all?" , -

The superintendent seemed to wait a long time before answering. Little Bruce,, already full of secret conjec­tures as to his own parentage, thought that some key might be given hlni at last "There Is nothing that we can tell you, Mr. Duncan," he said at last "A woman brought him here­with an infant girl—when he was about four. I suppose she was his mother—and she didn't wait to talk^ to me. The nurse said that she wore outlandish clothes and had plainly had a hard time."

"But she didn't wait—?" "She dropped her children and fled." A cold lltUs smile flickered at tbe

DMt'i lips. "It looks rather dam-

winy hours of Almost overwhelming loneliness. Also there were many thoughts such as are not especially goo<l/for the spirits of growing boys.

The place where the Duncons lived was a house, but under no liberal In^ terpretntlon of the word could It be called a home. There was nothing homelike In It to little Bruce.

Tbe other lasting memory wns of Linda. She represented the one liv­ing creature In all his assemblage of phantoms-the one person with whom he could clnlm real kinship. He hnd done a bold thing, after his first few years with tho Duncans. He planned It long and carried It out with infinite care as to details. He wrote' to LIndn, In cnrc of the superintendent of the orphnnnge.

The answer only deepened the mystery. LIndn «ns missing. Whether she had ran away, or whether some one had come by in n closed car and cnrriiHl her off na she played on the lawns, the stiperintcndent could not tell. They hnd never been able to trace her. He had been fifteen then, a tall boy with rather unusual muscu-lor development, and the girl wns eleven. And In the year nineteen hun­dred and twenty, ten years after the reply to his letter, Bruce had heard no word froth hor. He had given up all hope of ever hearing from her ngala "My little sitter," ho said softly to a memory. Then bitterness - a whole block flood of It—would come upon him. "Oood Lord, I don't even know that she was my sister." But now he was going to And ber and his heart was full of Joy and eager anticipation.

CHAPTER III

Tfieni had not been time to make In­quiry as to the land Bruce wns going to. He only knew one thing—tliat It was tbe wilderness. The fact that he hnd no business plans for the future nnd no financial resources except u few hundred dollars that lie carrle<l In his pocket did not matter one way or another. He was willing to spend all the money he hod; ntter It was gone, he would take up some work In life anew.

He hnd n moment's wonder nt the effect his departure would hnve upon the financial problem that had been his father's sole legacy to him. He laughe<l a little as he thought of It. But the idea thnt others nlso—having nonbusiness relations with his father —might be Interested In this western journey of his did not even occur to him.

But the paths men take, seemingly, with wholly different alms, crisscross nnd become Intertwined much more thnn Bruce knew. Even us he Iny in his berth, the first sweet drifting of sleep upon him, he wns the subject of a dLscusslon In a fnr-dlstant moun­tain home; and sleep would not hnve fallen so easily nnd sweetly If he hnd heard It

It might have been a different world. Only a glimpse of It Illumined by the moon, could be seen through tbe soiled and besmirched window pane; but thnt was enough to td l the story. There were, no tall bnlldlngs, lighted by a thousand electric lights, such as Bruce could see through the win­dows of his bedroom at night. The lights that could be discerned In this strange, dark sky were largely un­familiar tq Bruce, because of tlie smoke-clouds that had always hung

•above the city where he lived. Tliere were just stars, but there were so many of them thnt the mind was un­able to comprehend their number.

There was also a moon that cast a little square of light li)<e a fairy tapestry, on the floor. It was not such a moon as leers' down red and strange .through the smoke of cities. It was vivid nnd quite white—the wilderness moon that times the hunting hours of the forest creatures. But the patch that It cost on the floor was obscured In a moment because the man ^ho had been musing In tbe big ebalr be­side the, empty fireplace bad riBen and lighted t kerdiraae litnpL

The reason went bock to a certain quickening of the senses thnt Is the peculiar right and property of most men who ore really residents of the wilderness; This man wns' the son of the wild ns much as the wolves thot rori In the pncks. Soft though It wns, he had heard the sound of ap­proaching feet In the pine needles. As surely as ho would have recognized tho dark face of the man In the door­way, he recognized the sound n» Dave's step.

The man came In, and at once an observer would have detectoO on nir of deference In, his attitude. 'Very plainly he had come to see his chief. He was a year or two older thnn his host, less powerful of physique, nnd his eyes did not hold quite so straight. There was less siivagery but more cunning In hie sharp features.

He blurted out his news at onco. "Old EUiilra has got word down to the settlements at lust" be sold.

There was no muscular response In the larger man. Dave was plaLoiy disappointed. He wanted bis news to cause a stir. It was true, however, that Ills host slowly raised bis eyee. Dave glanced away.

"What do you meaur tbe man de­manded.

"Mean—I mean Just what I said. We should hove watched closer. BlU— Young Bill , I mean—saw a city chap just in the act of going In to see her. He had come onto the plateaw with his guide—Wsgan was the man's name—and Bill said be stayed a lot longer than he would have if be badol taken a message from hor."

"How long ago was thl«r "Week ago Tuesday." "And why have you been a» Ioo(

In telling roe?" When Dave's chief asked qneatloos

In tills tpne, answers always came quickly. They rolled so fost from the mouth thnt they blurred nnd mn to­gether. "Why, Simon—you nln't been where I could see yon.. Anyway, there wns nothln' we could have done."

"There wasn't, oh? I don't suppose you ever thought that there's ' -et two months before we can clinch this thing for good, and young Folger ml(,dit—I say might-hnve kicking about somewhere In his belongings the very document we've nil of us been worrying about for twenty years," Simon cursed—a single, fiery oath. "But' we nre yelling before we're hurt. It Isn't worth a cussword. Like as not, tlils Wegun will never take the trouble to hunt him up. And If he does—well, It's nothing to worry about, either. There Is one buck door thnt has been opened mnny times to let his people go through, and it may en.slly be oponetl again."

Dave's eyes filled with admiration. Then he turned nnd gaxed out through the window. ..Against the eastern sky, already won and pale from the en­croaching down, the long ridge of a mountain stood In vivid and startUnff silhouette. The edge of It was curi­ously jagged with many little upright points.

There was only one, person who would have been greatly amazed by that outline of the ridge; snd the years nnd distance had Pbscured ber long ago. This wos a teacher at an or­phanage in a distant city, who pnce hnd taken a crude drawing frotn the hands of a child. Here was the original at Inst. It wus the some ridge, covered with pines, that little Bruoe hod drown.

aces of the metropolis. It U a splendidly photographed pro­

duction and tells a story that touches every human heart and does It In a way to grip the interest and hold it In its clutch to the.last flicker of the picture. "Whore Is My Wandering Boy Tonight," as one can conjecture from this sentimental title, has heart Interest In abundance. And the strain on the feelings is lightened al Umes by situations calling for quiet chuckles rather than laughter.

The dominating note is simplicity. Three of the four principals are small-town folks—the mother, hei son and the Intter's sweetheart—and the two former live In a cottage. The sweetheart is the employee of the town's big business man—grocer and banker combined. The fourth mem­ber of tho quartet is a girl of the show In the city. In the situations revolving around the Boy and the Show Girl there are flashes of Broad­way life as It was in the old days— of a cabaret, with dancing girls aind clinking glasses and riotous mirth.

The acting opportunities lay with­in the quortet outlined. Virginia Truo Boardman is the Mother, and It Is a fine and a feeling characteriza­tion she gives us of a role containing pitfalls. She will reach the heart of the boy and of the man. Cullen Lan-dia Is the Boy, Garry Beecher, nnd gives a strong performance. His role Is thnt of a lad In love with a girl in his own town but also fascinated by the visiting show girl.' Later he goes

|.to the city to see h e r . I t is then he learns that without means he cannot arouse her Interest. He returns home ,nnd robs the bank. When his funds are gone ho is discarded. He turns about and goes straight, refunding bit by bit the money he has stolen. The transformation is sudden; we are not permitted to see the struggle that brings about the change in spirit,

Ruth "Patsy" Miller is a charming Lonia Owens, the village sweetheart of the Boy. She carries with honor tho role of fellow-sufferer with the Mother-and wins a large measure of sympathy. Kathleen Key has tho harder and unpopular part of the cold-blooded show girl without re­deeming qu.allties—and carries it through with splendid flnessee.

Al l in all this new picture will warm the cockles of your heart tor it runs the entire gamut of human emo­tions, with thrills, tears and laugh­ter.

A complete country village was constructed at Universal City, the (llm city with an area thi*ee hundred times as big as tbe average important studio, for the Universal attraction, "Afraid To Fight," 1» which Frank Mayo has the starring role at the Pastime Theatre next Monday. . •''

Although occupying but a few scenes on the screen, rural atmos­phere, with all tho "hick" characters give a "kick" to two sequences of the stoi-y.

From the "Gen. Del" sign to the village blacksmithi- every Important "institution" ot the rural center is shown.

The story of Leet, Renick Brown concerns prize fighters and gas-burn­ed lungs, love and cowardice.' It pre­sents Mayo In the role of a man com­pelled, by an odd reason to keep up the manner of a coward, even with the women lie loves laughing him to scorn. '

Universal considered it a good enough story to require the guidance of a man who knew Mayo's nature perfectly and his best talents. William Worthington was assigned to direct, because, he achieved notable success with Mayo In "Dr. J im," "Out of the Silent North," and other, pictures.

"Action dramas" usually lack psychological meaning;'they're simply well concocted bunches of thrilling situations. But it is promised that the mental wallop Is far greater tha'n the thrill In "Afraid To' Fight." '

Mayo is Supported by Lillian Rich, popular Universal leading woman; Wade Boteler, peggy Cartwrlght, Lydia i Knott, Roscoe Karns, Tom Kennedy, Al Kaufman, -Tom Me-Guire, W. S. McDunnough; Charles Haefelland others.

In Ueu'of building a giant fight arena, Universal used the famous one of Jack Doyle's at Vernon, California, sporting center of the West Coast.' Several hundred "pugs" and fight fans took part In the scenes:

Brownie, the dog star in his latest comedy, "Mutts," is another attrac­tion for Monday night.

";'The Loaded Door," though figur­atively loaded with: dynamite, Is lit­erally loaded wit^ thrills, action and ail unusually appealing love tale. It is shown at the Pastime theatire as ei Universal attraction starring Hoot Gibson, next Tuesday. „ -

The story , Is. of a self-appointed revenue officer who decides to clean up the traffic lii whisky aud narcotics that is being carried on by a band of smugglers along the Mexican border. Hoot Gibson, who takes It upon him­self to' do the cleaning up, is at his best In "The Loaded Door," In which his expert horsemanship and hand-iness.with his fists are amply display­ed,

Gertrude Olmstead, who plays the leading role against Gibson, is no less charming in her cowgirl garb than she ordinarily appears in nn evening gown. Miss Olmatead, through her flne work In leading roles In past Uni­versal productions. Is fast approach­ing stardom, and^ even now is con­sidered one of the most popular of the screen's "baby star" class, y

The last chapter of Robinson Cru­soe/also shows next Tuesday, one night only.

Next Wednesday night the Presby­terian L.adles' Aid give an entertain­ment, "Uncle Sam visits the Old Woman who lived In a Shoe," featur­ing a large chorus, male quartet, ladies' chorus, and several noveltj numbers.

Buck Jones In "Western Speed," and Harold Lloyd In "Captain Kldd's Kids," another of his big two reel comedies. Is the unusually attractive program promised for next week Fri­day and Saturday.

The headliner for the week follow­ing is the tremendous Fox spectacular special, "The Queen Of Shelwi," which shows for three days.
