Briefly. Mr. Norris* analysis in-dicated that the cost of a power unit of about 500 h. p. capacity would cost the village approxi-mately 96.1.000. perhaps m o r e -cover ing all items necessary. A connect ion with the Consnmer 's P o w e r Co., including the 8.479 kw which they would furnish month-ly, would cost the village ap-proximatelv S2 j00 a year over a three-year period.

The gisl of Mr. Norris ' analy-sis appeared to be that if only a

with tax money.

The season fo r the church sup-per and the festival is here. These del ightful events c rowd Ihe late summer and early autumn eve-nings. They come in such num-bers that a problem of selections is oft times presented. The pity-is that there is no clearing house to regulate the dates so that co-

Suiogests Smaller Unit

Mr. Norris also declared that it would be feasible and good en-gineer ing for the village to con-s ider the buying of a smaller unit t han at first contemplated, yet sufficiently large lo carry the en-t i re load in case of emergency w h e n used in conjunct ion with the present deisel engine owned by toe village.

As a result of this suggestion the engine manufac turers will be asked to submit new bids on en-gines of 325 to 340 kw. capacity, these bids to come before the council at a meeting lo be held next Wednesday evening. it is estimated that the entire cost of Ihe smaller capacity engine sug-gested. including housing and all necessary equipment, will range f rom $354100 to *40.000.

A financing plan for payments of a new engine out of the anticipat-ed earnings of the plant will also b e snhmitled by each bidder.

Should the council act favor-ably on the purchase of a new en-gine. one or two methods of pay-ing for same will be necessary, e i ther a financing method as above mentioned, o r by a bond issue. The question has natural-ly arisen as to whe ther or not the contemplated purohase can be made without submitt ing a bond-ing issue to the people of the village. This is a legal question wh ich the Ledger does not pre-sume to answer , but we under-s tand that legal opinions differ o n the question.

Caat iea Sagreated

While the u t terance was not made officially, the Ledger be-lieves that a suggestion made by-Mayor M. N. Henry is wor thy of ca re fu l consideration. In effeel the suggestion made was that it might be wise for the village to make connection with the Con-sumers Power Co. for a limited period of time, thus giving the vil lage opportunui ty to set aside cer ta in yearly ea rn ings from its plant until the village would be able to pay more nearly in full fo r whatever additional power equipment might be required, in-s l t ad of taking ou a large iu-debtedness at the present time. C. W. Cook, chairman of the light and power committee and Aid. Englehardl , have also expressed

*rite similar views. Some of e other members of the council

are understood to take the view-that the village should remain in-dependent of any public service corporat ion.

The council was in session until about midnight.

largely on manufac tured enjoy-ment it is indeed a refreshing treat to attend the average coun-ty church supper or a grange festival. At these events there is to be found a w-holesomeness and a plenty of food and associa-tion for greater value than the price paid for the ticket. These affairs are conducted for profit of course, but is a broader profit than monetary gain alone. The good folk, who sponsor and pro-vide them, add to the menu a measure of good will that makes one a lways want lo come again.

This trtick is being run wi th Ihe purpose of bringing to the flock owner the value of a pure bred ram. what one should look for in buying a ram. and offers Ihe flock o w n e r Ihe oppor tuni ty of buying a ram if he desires. The truck carr ies rams for sale. These have been consigned by sheep owners in the stale. 1-asl year the truck visited 25 count ies and distr ibuted 131 rams. Peo-ple interested in getting a ram may get in touch with county agent, K. K. Vining. Of Interest to Poultry Producers

Poul t ry producers will have an opportuni ty to see a 20x20 laying house built on October 1st and

and enjoyment runs at low ebb. i 2nd. This house will be buill on Ihe George Bachre farm in Sparta lownship . Iw-o miles south of Kent City. The poultry and agr icul tura l engineer ing depar t -ments at Michigan State college are doing the building. This size house will house 100 birds of the heavy types or 125 of the lighter types. The building when com-plete will show Ihe latest pr in-ciples of l ighting and ventilation, nests, roosts, etc. People plan-ning on building or remodeling or adding new equipment should visit this demonstra t ion. It is suggested that the visit be made Ihe af ternoon of the second day as the house will be about com-plete. At t w o o'clock of the sec-ond af te rnoon a short meeting will be held to discuss the con-struction and use of the house.

if the appetite fails and life goes a little stale, c rank up the car and seek out one of these sup-peis . In this prescr ipt ion you will find a tonic that will res tore lost appetites, sooth jaded nerves and revitalize a low spirit all in one evening. Such good food you have never tasted, unless perchance you a re a "supper fan." and such quanl i l ies of it. The good folk, w h o willingly serve you are never content until you cry quits a f t e r you have eaten your fill. And such delicacies as you will find—plenty of food of course—but then added to il will be crisp pickles and a sauce that sharpens the appetite, tasty-jellies, the pr ide of some house-wife, perhaps a dainty cottage cheese a;id dozens of little touch-es that the average meal lacks.

Added to this, one finds oppor-tunity for widening the circle of acquaintance, of knowing one's neighbors just a little better. To gel the most out of living is not such a hard job a fe r all. The re are plenty of opportunit ies and these events a re par t and parcel of them. If you are not already a community supper fan join up —you're passing u p a valuable op-por tuni ty to add to life's enjoy-ment.

THE DOLE DEMORALIZES

The fact that Great Britian is crushed un-der the load of the dole to the idle has no apica l lo our Treasury raiders. Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, Senator Norris, of Nebraska, and others slill insist upon trying to saddle the dole system U|)on the I nited States.

It is apparent thai Ihe dole system has be-come a permanent fixture in Great Britain, eating into the virility of labor, sapping the strength of industry, and squandering the capital that should be employed in modern-izing British industry to make il possible for that country to compete with other nations. In view of the fact thai British industrial equipment is antiquated and production costs very high, consumers can purchase foreign goods more cheaply than domestic goods. Statistics show that imports are rapidly increasing while exports are decreas-ing. The dole is pushing Britain toward the precipice of ruin.

It is being insisted that a system of reg-ular Federal hand-outs to the unemployed in this country would be adopted solely as an "emergency" measure, to be discarded when "prosperity" returns to us. It should be re-membered that the dole was adopted in Brit-tain solely as an "emergency" measure, with subsequent discover}* that it could not be dropped. In effect, the dole system is com-parable with a jMjison which permeates Ihe both' politic. Britain has proven that un-der such system Labor becomes a dole ad-dict and refuses to work. Industry is so heavily taxed that it is unable to modernize its equipment and naturally is beginning to succumb lo foreign rivals. Unquestionably capital, which should be flowing into trade, commerce and manufacture, is being ab-sorbed by the dole. Britain is now little else than a great almshouse, where demoral-ized millions are eating up the remainder of the country's substance.

And Dial is what the American demagogue would wish upon the United States. To the merest tyro in political economy it should be apparents that they are catering lo the votes of the mob by ap|>ealing to laziness, vice, greed and ignorance. In order to secure or retain his place at Ihe Government pie-coun-ter, the demagogue would destroy the self-reliance ol labor, despoil capital, and bank-rupt industry. Detestable to even* Ameri-can tradition is any proposal to make of the United Slates a gigantic almshouse al the ex|)ensc of the industrious and provident. I ndoubledly il is robbery masked as charity.

From the President down, all our public ofticials are determined lo do everything pos-sible in aid of the unemployed. However, all are just as resolved never in any circum-stances to aid or abet the dole. This is nol a controversy about a word or an epithet. Some say Ilia I we had a dole last winter, with another in view for next winter. However, there is a clear distinction between a large work of charitable relief which we hope will be temporary, even if it bears for the mo-ment a resemblance to the dole, and a per-manent system of alloting public funds to men out of work. If we ever come to a well-guarded plan of unemployment i n s u r ance on a sound auditorial basis, that will be another matter. Meanwhile, it is easy to understand and to applaud the prevailing unwillingness to adopt in this country the dole, subject to all the abuses and demoraliz-ation which have followed its establishment in Great Britain.

THE MODERN CAVALIER

In the old days the man on horseback was a superior creature. At least, he regarded himself as such. In the feudal system the man on foot had no rights which the cavalier was bound to respect. It was up to the pe-destrian to get out of the way. Here rode wealth, caste and arrogance; the peasantry must make way fo r the gentry,

TIr; old tradition of the superiority of the cavalier died hard. It seemed so much more noble to ride a horse and give orders to men on foot than it did to follow a horse along a fur row, that there persists, even in America, the legend of "gentility" typified by the man on horseback. That, by the way, is one of the reasons why the cowboy of western fic-tion and the movies, who in real life is mere-ly a farmhand whose job requires him to ride a horse, is such a figure of romance in the eyes of youth.

There is something of the same sense of superiority manifested by many persons who drive automobiles in these days. They seem to have only arrogant contempt for people on foot, and to look down with scorn on those who drive shabby or cheaper cars tlian their own. This is nol true of thegreat major -ity of motorists, of course, but it is true of enough of them to account fo r a high per-centage of the annual toll of deaths caused by the automobile. More than half of the 35,000 persons killed in the past year on the highways were pedestrians run down by cavalier mnlnrists.

An old proverb reads: "Put a beggar on

horseback and he'll ride to the devil." The automobile h a t brought power of life and death into the hands of thousands who are unfitted for it by training and intelligence. Even in the older days there had developed the motto "noblesse oblige,'* which signifies that nobility recognized its res|M>nsibility to-: ward the lower classes. It would not do to run down the commonalty too recklessly.! But there are thousands of motorists today who recognize, apparently, no res|>onsibility toward anyone, and who seem lo become in-toxicated by the sense of power as soon as they sit behind a steering wheel.

For such drivers, who a n ' responsible for most of the highway accidents and deaths, there is but one remedy. To try to impress a sense of social responsibility upon such |)eo-

Ele is worse than useless; they simply don't now what you are talking about. Prompt

and severe punishment fo r every infraction of the motor vehicle laws and regulations re-sulting in accident or death is the only de-terrent. A mere fine is not enough for most of these lawbreakers. Imprisonment without option, and revocation of the license to drive a car, once it is generally understood that these iK-nalties will be enforced upon all alike, may result in time in making our roads safe for the ordinary, law abiding citizen.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS "What They Say Whether Right or Wrong"

Sir Hubert Wilkins, on aboard Submarine Nautilus, Arctic Ocean; "The crunching of the uneven heavy ice

above us was a fear fu l , ungodly sound—un-like anything heard anywhere before.*'

Alexander l.egge, f o rmer chairman Federal Farm Board;

"1 forecast a fu tu re for the American fa rm-er better than anything he has enjoyed in recent years."

Carl Williams, acting chairman. Federal Farm Board; "The Board has discovered and, hojK's the

people have discovered, that continued pur-chase in the face of over-production is not a remedy for the situation."

Oswald Mosely, British Politician; "The ingenuity of the human mind fo r

finding reasons to postpone or delay action is the most pow*erfuI factor in modem |>oli-tics."

Hey ward Broun, columnist; "Il isn't the crime wave which terrifies me

so much as the undertow*. 1 mean the mass of fool plans and suggestions which are be-ing poured into the papers."

Daniel A. Poling, preacher: "My chief concern is not with the young

flapper, but with the adult flopper."

Arthur Thomson, British scientist: "I think that there is a great tendency to

make a scapegoat of sex."

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Add modern myths: Pr imary elections ex-press the people's voice.

• • •

Most troubles are said lo be imaginary; so are most pleasures.

• • •

Useless statistics: The V. S. oyster crop for 1931 will be IK.tKHMMKI bushels.

• • •

This is the time of year that hay-fever victims wonder why the world has lo have hay.

• • •

Our idea of a washout is the man who thinks everybody is interested in his small son.

• • •

Men who do not understand women have nothing on women who do not understand men.

• • •

Correct this sentence: "Teacher, you gave me a hundred, but I really do not know all of my lesson."

• • •

What ' s become of the fellc v who used to tell about how much he made on the mar-ket's daily advances?

# • #

Americans w ho wonder why China doesn't control her great rivers have probably for-gotten the Mississippi flood.

• • •

This newspaper is published as a commun-ity asset, with the hope that our citizens will use iL write for it, read it, like it and, maybe, support it.

• • •

The other day a Lowell lady declared she could not wear her new hat because she had no dress or shoes to match it. You can see where this leads.

• • •

One trouble with the country is that it is suff ering f rom too much "big city" news and not enough about the law-abiding, decent communities that exist.

* * *

Maybe the world wouldn't have so much trouble in solving its problems if it could get the real facts established.

• • •

There are some i)eople who don't believe in buying what they need in Lowell although they are anxious to sell what they have to people here.

• • •

Any wife can tell her Lowell husband what's the mat ter with him, and about half the time she is right.

• • •

Lowell claims to be the leader of the sur-rounding terri tory; the time for leadership is lure . What about it?

• • •

One of the reasons why some men fail in business is that they spe'nd too much time and thought on what their competitor is do-ing.

• • •

No man is bigger than Lowell. Even* in-dividual should cooperate in the task of mak-ing il a better place for children to live, to grow and to develop in.

• • •

Learn a word a day and by the time you are ten years older you w ill have added 3,653 new words to your vocabulary*; that 's prob-ably more than you have now.

Some say one worm remedy is best. Some another. But there's one sure way of telling . . . with egg production. So Dr. Hess & Clark ran an experiment with Dr. Hess' Poultry Ver-mi-trol which is a flock treatment—against Capsules of Kalama—Nicot ine and Calomel, an individual dose prepara-tion. The pen that was fed the Cap-sules increased production 37% and the Ver-mi-trol fed pen increased pro-duction over 50%.

Ver-mi-trol is a flock treatment that is divided into 20 doses and fed to the chickens. We indorse the treatment and ask you to try it on your flocks.

that |lCI'®'*needs recharging

THINK of a battery radio that runs a whole year with no attention except a few drops of water occasionally.

Think of the economy of that—and of the new 2-volt tubes that use so little power!

For uowired homes—now every bit as good a radio as any city home can have. What a break for the farmer and his family! Call or phone for demonstration.

$4% complete with tubes and batteries for the " W Compact super-heterodyne shown here.

Conrole super'heterodyne, $121. Both have the Golden Voiced clectro-dynamic speaker. Both have automatic vol-ume control and are wonders at daylight reception and get-in g distant stations.

Roman Highways Built for March of Legions

When the Romans set out to con-quer the whole known world of their day, their practical minds came to their aBslKtance, and the; built, as the long arm of their con-quests spread around ihe shores of the Mediterranean, permanent high-ways throughout their empire, primarily for the swift and safe movement of their troops through-out all the countries they con-quered. says a writer In the New York Times.

Their first principle was to draw a straight line between their most Important camps. The Applan way, which was begun In 312 B. C., one of their greatest achievements, extended throughout the length of the Italian peninsula from the Forum lu the Eternal city Itself to Brlndlsl, from which the legions embarked on their Journeys to the east The pillar set up by Pompey to mark the southern etremlty of the gregt roajJ may still be seen In the modern city.

The Romans built their roads by first cutting parallel trenches through the soil to indicate the width of the roadway, removing loose earth until a solid foundation was reached. Upon this four lay-ers of materials were beaten down, the lowest usually of fiat stone sometimes laid In mortar, above which a layer of coarse concrete of smashed stones was superposed. Above this was a layer of finer stones or concrete, on which was laid a surface of fine stones care-fully matched. The width of some of their roads was 14 feet, on wieh side of which were unpaved road-ways half as wide again.

POST OFFICE TO HAVE EXHIBIT AT FAIR

The great part that the parcel post plays In the commercial life of the nation, especially In the prompt and sate shipment of farm products, will be illustrated by Interesting displays and educational talks plan ned as a feature of a poslofflce ex-hibit at the Michigan State Fair and Exposition, Sept. 6 to 12.

Postal experts will emphasize the value of proper contalnera deaiRned specially for the transportation o | agricultural commodities. In con-ducting the public behind the scenes of the postofilce depurlmeni fair visitors will see how stamps are cancelled by machines of great rapidity and will obtain an Insight Into other modern methods of ex pediting the nation's malL

An Interesting collection of many odd pieces of mall which have finally found their way to the Dead Letter Office lu Washington and which have never before been placed on public view also will be exhibited, provided that Postmaster Charles C. Kellogg of Detroit pre-vails upon department authorities to consent to their display.

TRUST BANKING SPREADING FAST

Government Official Shows That This Type of Finan-

cial Service it Enlarg-ing Its Field.

OPECTACULAR growth of trust

^ service In the banking field Is fleeted in the national banking syi-tem, Aubrey B. Carter, In charge of Trust department supervision In the office of Comptroller of the Cur-rency, Washington, D. C.t brings out in an article In the American Bankers Association Journal.

"At the close of the 1930 fiscal year there were 2,472 national banks with trust powers," he saya. "Their banking resources aggre-gated 123,529,100,000, which repre-sented 34 per cent of the number of banks and 80 per cent of the total banking resources of the 7,252 national banks. Trust departments had been established by 1,829 of these banks which were administer-ing 79,900 individual trusts with trust assets aggregating |4,478,-000,000, and in addition were admin-istering 11,500 corporate trusts and acting as trustees for outstand-ing note and bond Issues aggregat-ing 111,808,700,000.

"These figures represent an In-crease during a four-year period of 446, or 22 per cent. In the number of national banks authorized to exercise trust powers; an Increase of 725, or 66 per cent. In the num-ber of banks actively administering trusts; an Increase of 65,370, or 250 per cent, lu the number of trusts being administered; an In-crease of $3,500,000,000, or 385 per cent, In the volume of Individual trust assets under administration, and an increase of $9,340,000,000, or 379 per cent, in the volume of bond issues outstanding for which these institutions were acting as trus-tees."

These facts, he concludea, are "a striking testimonial of the growing public recognition of the desirabil-ity of the corporate fiduciary in the settlement of estates and the sd-ministration of troata."

FEAR Almost everybody Is afraid of

somcthinu al some lime or anoth-er. Bight now the whole world seems to be in a stale of f e a r -not fear of war but fear of pov-erty. I think these fears have been exaggerated by all of the loose talk about business depres-sion and unemployment. The re Is a certain Justification, of course, for the man who is afra id that if he loses his job he won' t be able to get another right away. Too many people are letting that sort of fear Interfere with their work. It ought to be a stimulus to work better and harder and so reduce the risk of losing Ihe job.

The people upon whom fear resls most heavily today are those who in flush times enlarge their scale of living to a point whe re thoV" reduce imVAnnes do not now cover the expenses they have incurred. The only happy peo-ple, a f te r all, are the ones who have got their fixed overhead expenses down to a point below their assured incomes. They are the only people I know w h o are nol afra id .

QUALITY There is a lways a market fo r

any kind of a product which Is of h igher quali ty than the general run of commodit ies in the same line. Somebody will always pay a (juality price fo r the best.

I know a woman who makes home-made bread, of such high quali ty and flavor that she has a market among wealthy families for all that she can bake, at twenty-five cents a loaf. Of course, she can only make a lim-ited number of loaves of bread a day. If she made more, h i red other people to do the work , she probably could not keep up the

3uality, and would have to re-uce the price.

I know a f a rmer who has made more money off five acres every year for the past few years t han any of his neighbors have made on a hundred acres. He sells f resh vegetables, but instead of shipping them in bulk to the open market tie packs them in fancy baskets and boxes, even w r a p s some of them individually in cel-lophane.

There is a lways a market for quality goods.

AGE I had a visit at my farm a few-

days ago f rom a young man of 75 who, with his wife, who is in he r fiO's was making a round of visits f rom one brood of grandchi ldren to another . This old fr iend had never tried to dr ive a car until he was 71, but he had driven on th is t r ip from Florida to Iowa then to Illinois, Wisconsin and across to Norihern Michigan on ihe Cana-dian border and thence eas tward across Ohio and New York State. He stopped off to see me on his way to visit a family of grand-chi ldren on Cape Cod Bay, and was going to dr ive back to Flo-rida from there.

I had not seen him for five years , but he and his wife looked ten years younger. They at-tr ibuted that to the fact that , even in what most of us call old age, they a re not afra id to try new things.

SHIPS I have never seen a greater

contrast be tween the old and the new than the contrast be tween the old American lighting fr igate Consti tution, and the great new (ierman flying ship, I h e . 1)()-X. Both of them came into New York Harbor about the same time.

If the men who manned the Constitution in its famous battle had been told that their grand-children would live long enough to see a ship actually larger than the Consti tution, flying through the air at a speed of a hundred miles an hou r and carry ing sev-enty- two passengers, they would have thought it necessary to

lock up Ihe person who told them that in a lunatic asylum.

We make equally wild predic-t ins today. Probably a hundred years f rom now nothing will be iis Ihe prophets of today pic ture it.

* FOOD Henry Ford 's order thai every

married man employed in his Iron Mountian plant must plant a vegetable garden next year is an interest ing experiment w h i c h will be criticized by several dif-ferent kinds of people. Commis-sion men and dealers in garden produce will see in it a possible loss of good markets. And Ihe people who Ibink that an employ-er has no right lo dictate to his employees about anything except their actual work in Ihe factory will regard Ibis order as an in-vasion of the individual worker ' s rights.

My own view is that Ihe results of the Iron Mountain experiment . If records are careful ly kept, as I assume they will be, may prove to be the most powerfu l st imulus to Ihe general movement away from the cities and back lo the economic independence of the small landowner , who raises most of what he and his family consume.

New Type Radio For Farm Use

After uatns unnatiafactory

troublesome and battery powered

radio aets slnctl the advent oO broadcasting. It aeema that the farmer'a radio problems have at laat been solved.

Practically all of the country's leading radio manufacture r a are introducing this fall a new

and radically different type of "air cell" receiver, employing revolu-tionary principles in radio engi-•eering to eliminate features which caused farmers ao much an-noyance and diaaatiafactlon with prevloua types of battery receivers.

The air cell aets are causing widespread tntereat in both agrl-cultural and radio circles. Morse Saliabury, of Washington, D. C., rural radio and agricultural au-thority, believes they will reauit In a much wider use of radio by farmers both for profit and pleas-are.

Writing in a current issue of The Parm Journal . Mr. Salisbury aays:

"Thia new type battery aet, so the promotion men tell me, will be a revelation to those of us who in former days wrestled with rheo-aUts—or forgot to wrestle, with them and burned out our tubes; Who were forever either having to get the 'a torage battery charged, or buy a new set of dry celts to freshet; up the "A* power aupply.

"In combination, the 'air cell' battery and the two-volt tube," he continues, "make a receiver that , 1 am told, actually gives Just a little better reception than the standard aocket power sets, be-cause It's f ree from that 'AC hum so annoying to some.

"I hope farm incomes will be largo enough ao that there will be a market—If the new sets fulfill claims of the makers—among the farm people who appreciate more than any others the unique eer-vice radio gives them—

"A split-second connection with the markets:

"A Jay-to-day i>eraonal contact with • -"•ars i j farm and home science;

Joan A c t e d a Bit T o o Quick

By RUBY GRUBER

JOAN slid her hlgf) geared sports roadster Into motion, and swinn-

ing out Inlo the fast moving tralllc up Michigan boulevard, gave vent to her enraged feelings by passing car after car.

The beauty of Lake Michigan so ln*lly lapping the shore, the bright bathing suits dotting the beach, passed unseen by Joan. A secluded driveway farther up the lake brought only painful memories. She turned her pretty head as she neared the shady lane, her chin set in determination not to give way to tears He had parked there one afternoon, told her his ambitions, and be also told her she was the most beautiful girl he had ever met.

Jack Brandon had seemed «o nice. It was true she had only known him a week, but Joan was beginning to think about the tall, good-looking Jack far more than she had thought about any one else. He worked in the law otfice of the vil-lage attorney, and was rich In his own right Not that it made any difference to Joan. He had seemed •o eager, so refreshing, and so real compared with the shallow social men in her own crowd. He had "rushed" ber at breathtaking speed, with phone calls, a show and dinner. Then the luncheon for today was his suggestion, as they sat In the soft moonlight of the Country club last night Joan had arrived on the exact minute, hap-pily anxious to see this man who had crept Into her heart.

But Jack did not come. . . . Joan waited fully thirty minutes, seated at the little table cosily bid-den away from the world by two huge palms. They had dined there once before—It seemed ages ago, but In reality It was only last Mon-day. He had held her hand and gaied Into her eyes, then shyly raised her white palm to his lips and kissed It almost reverently. To-day . . . he had not even come to meet her I

Joan's eyes filled with tears as she allowed her troubled thoughts to vision again the pltcure she saw as she came out of the tearoom. Jack was getting Irto a taxicab with a girl I

Almost numbed with surprise. Joan got into her car. As she now swung the car into the driveway of her home, she hoped that her mother'i bridge party had not yet begun. Joan felt very much like crying and wanted to get to her own room But luck was against her, the bridge party was begin-ning.

She stood in the hall. The wide archway to her right showed the bridge tables surrounded by well-groomed, well-fed, happy matrons. Her tall, stately mother moved gracefully from one table to an-other.

"Perkins,' Joan called softly to the butler.

"Yes, Miss," the submissive Per-kins answered.

"Any phone calls for me?" she asked anxiously.

"Not any. Miss." Perkins an-swered.

"Thanks," she started up the s tairs Her only hope had been that Jack had phoned at the last moment. The young girl might have been his sister or some rela-tive.

She would call his oflice Softly she tiptoed down the stairs to the telephone, and gave the operator the number.

"Will you connect me with Mr. Brandon's oflice, please." she asked the girl who answered.

"Mr. Brandon Is out for the aft-ernoon. You wish to leave a mes-sage?"

"No, thanks, no message." Joan hung up the receiver.

Now. to get to her room I She could not bear the thought of go-ing In among all those chattering women. As she gained the foot of the stairs, her mother came through the doorway.

"Joan, 1 am so glad you camel Mrs. Granfred telephoned at the last minute. The baby Is feverish, ami she hated to leave him alone with ihe nurse You must fill In."

"Yes. mother." Joan answered. After all. what did it matter what she did? Playing bridge would keep her occupied, and she could have that cry later.

The afternoon passed slowly to the girl. But. as all things will do. the bridge party finally ended.

After the last of the guests were gone Joan went to he rroom.

"Marie—I will not be at home to Mr. Jack Brandon at any time." Joan spoke to the maid. "You will please tell Perkins.

"Yes. Miss Joan," the maid an-swered. "These flowers came right after you left for town, and I laid the note on your desk." The maid turned to the large bunch of roses crowded together in a wide vase.

"They are lovely—" Joan put her face against the fragrant pet-als.

Then she picked up the note. "Joan dear:

Sorry I cannot meet you, but we Just located a witness to the Tay-lor murder. I am taking her over to the Jail, to look over a few sus-pects we have under lock and key. Know you will understand and see me tonight I

All my love. Jack."

Slowly Joan folded the letter, and with a smile she turned to the maid.

"I will see Mr. Brandon when he calls." She smiled haprliy.

"Yes. Miss Joan," the maid an-swered listlessly. »©. 1911 Mrflnr.. Nrwtpaper Svnillc«te.|

Anchored Down

A home in which no children are Is like a sky without a star,

Or so it seems to me. But, I suppose, the man and wife Who live, by choice, a childless life.

Rejoice to be so "free."

"No kids for us," they likely say, "To have to watch through night and

d a y -No, Boy—they're too much fuss I

And furthermore, it costs too much To buy their clothes and food and s u c h -

No. SIR—no kids for us!

"We like to roam about the town— But kids, of course, would hold us down.

Like chains around our feet. YOU raise the kids—WE'LL have tht

f un ! YOU stay at home from sun to sun—

W E ' L L live the life that's sweet!"

But, oh, the joys of life they miss. Who do not know the baby's kiss.

And smiling, sparkling eyes! And oh, how empty life will grow. As down the years they slowly go.

And Youth behind them lies!

W E ' R E anchored down, 1 must confess. But anchored, though, with Happiness.

And all that makes life fine! YOU live the life that's fancy-free. Without a child—but as for me,

I'll take the kids for M I N E !

AFTER 4 0 bowel trouble

Constipation may very easily bccome Chronic after forty. And any continued Constipaiion ut that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders.

Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor should know what is best for them.

"Dr . Caldwell's 'Syrup Pepsin" is a doctor's prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years' nractice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all ag«*s. I t has proven perfectly safe even fur babies. Made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients, it cannot gnpe; will not sicken you or weaken you; can be used without harm as often as your breath is bad, or when your tongue is coaled; whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy condition warns of constipation.

W H E N you buy a Ford there are two things you never have to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life.

Here's an interesting letter f rom a Ford owner in North Carolina:

"My Ford was pnrchased May 8, 1928, and has been ntn 121,767 miles. It has never stopped on the road for repairs of any kind what' soever except pnnctnrcf.

"The brakes were relined at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage aver-aged 21 miles to the gallon, anu on tires, 19.000 miles per tire. I travel over all kinds of road conditions—mountainous and flat.

MI consider this a wonderful record and I assure yon my next car will also be a Ford."

This is just one of many tributes to the reliability and long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Iowa tells of driving

his Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of 120,000 miles of good service.

Think ahead when you are considering the purchase of an automobile and consider what it will be like after thou-sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied? Will you still say "it's a great carw?

If it's a Ford, you know everything will be O. K. It will

be taking you there and buck in good style, just as it has always done. And you will have saved many important, worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and low yearly depreciation.

NJOW there ure some people who ' think only of themsolves and

in times of danger have no thought of others. Hut I 'eter Uabblt Is not that kind. When Peter Rabbit Is frightened he always tries to warn others who may be near. He does It by thumping the ground with those stout hind feet of his. Those thompt can be heard a long way by those whose ears are near the ground.

As Teter sat near the pond of I'addy the Beaver, deep In the Green Forest, thinking over all the things trhlch Hunker the Goose had told of the Great Woods of the Fa r North, and of those who live there.

He Could Just See What Looked L ike Twelve Blacker Shadows.

be didn't for a single little minute forget to keep his ears open. l i e knew that he would be safer in the dear Old Drier I'ulch. but he wanted to see more of Honker and per-haps In the morning a f t e r a good night's rest. Honker would tell more stories. Now Honker was asleep out there In the pond of Paddy the Beaver. Buster Bear had gone about his business for the n i g h t So had Prickly Porky. J um pe r the Hare had pone also. Only Paddy was awake and he was too busy to talk.

So Petfer sat as still as still can bt , thinking over what he had heard

about Glutton the Wolverine and Fh i lhoms the Moose, and wonder- j Ing what It would l»e like lo be able to fly like Honker the Goose. He looked up through the treetops at the twinkling s tars and then over at the pond where there seemed to be stars , too. twinkling In the wa-ter. Where the Black shadows had stretched themselves across the wa-; ter he could just see what looked :

like twelve blacker shadows. He knew that they were Honker and his followers.

'"It must be great to be a leader i like Honker, and have all the rest obey you," thought Peter, who, you ] know, never had been a leader In his life. " H e must feel very anx- ' lous when he picks out a place to spend the night when he Is making these long journeys. It isn't like stopping in places that you know-all about. Now he never has stopped here before, so bow does he know what dangers the re may be? Of course Buster Bear and Paddy have told him that he will be perfectly safe here for one night anyway, and of course sleeping out there on the water, there Isn't any-body he fears. It Isn't like s l e ^ v Ing on shore where some one may , creep up and surprise you."

A long time Peter sat there. By and by he noticed that some of those , sleeping geese were drif t ing nea re r the shore. It troubled him. he didn't know just why. Then quite snd-deoly popped Into his head a , thought. Suppose, just suppose, j did Man Coyote or Granny o r Roddy Fox should happen to come along and And one of them asleep close lo shore I Peter all at once felt that he ought to keep guard, which means to watch for danger.

"If I were In a s t range place," thoupht he. ' i surely would feel bet-ter If some one who knew all the! dangers kept watch while I slept. Of course Honker won't know until he wakes up that I have kept watch, and perhaps I won't tell him then, j I'm not doing It for thanks, or soj that he'll think any the more of me,, but because—because—well, becanse | I like that feeling Inside whenever I 've done something for some one else. Hello! What is that moving over there?"

CANDY Is one of the first things stricken from the diet list of

Individuals t rying to lose weigh t and yet some women find candy helpful in reducing. They eat s piece of candy live or ten minutes before meal time, fo r the very reason that mothers warn their children not to eat candy within an hour of luncheon or dinner. It takes off the keen edge of their ap-petite and in that way helps them to iret alonp on very light rations.

Some women find the omission of luncheon the most convenient plan in reducing weigh t and are |)erfect-ly content to go without food from breakfast t ime until la te dinner If they can eat two or three pieces of candy during the course of the day to s tave off the discomfort of too preat hunger.

Under ordinary circumstances the best t ime t o ' e a t candy Is within one or two hours a f t e r mealtime. Some sort of candy may be served a f t e r the sweet course ut dinner and dishes of assorted candles are of ten offered when coffee Is served in the drawing room a f t e r dinner.

It is customary to place small dishes of candy and nuts on the card tables during the tvenlng at cards, but this is by no m«>ans necessary, and the hostess who wishes her guests to do justice to the re f reshments or late supper fol-lowing Is wise to omit I t (£X X»S1.

Who Killed Charles Lefarge? "XAVUDEB will out.- declared

the old adage—but. l iks many saying* of tht* kind, lb*-statement Is manifestly refuted by a large number of myrtf r ies upon Ihe record books of the police In sll pa r t s of the world and. of these, there are few which are more baf-flint or mysterious than Ihe story of Marie Capelle. granddaujrhter of the famous duke of Orleans— Philippe Egnlite.

Al the ace of twentr- three this girl, wealthy and beantifui. entered Into what was commonly termed a "marriaire of convenience" with Charles LefaiYe, went to Ure at his country home. "Les Glandiers." As both the partieipatlnK parties were wealthy, tbe wedding created a eon siderabie amount of talk throughout France and It was freely stated Ibat tbe marital relations between tbe young couple were not as happy as they might have been, owinc both to the Interference of tbe mother of the groom and Ihe fart that the bride was In love wilh an-other man. Tbe«« reports, how-ever. grew less frequent as lime passed snd there were evidences of happiness about tbe grounds al "Les Glsndlers.-

Finally, as her hustand was on the verge of leaving on a business t r ip lo Paris—accompanied b / one of his foremen named Denis—Mme. Lefarge made a will leaving every-thing lo ber husband and be. In turn, executed a similar document, bequeathing all h is property to his wife in Ihe event of his death. Some Iwo weeks later Lefarge received a letter f rom his wife s ts l ing that she was sending him a cake which she desired him to cut at midnight, at which t ime she would also ent a piece and think of him. Imme-diately a f t e r ea t ing tbe cake, Le-farge was taken III snd. still accom-panied by Denis, returned home. During tbe sickness which followed. Lefarge was continually attended by his wife, although both his moth-er and tbe foreman, I>enls. were frequent v i s l ton at his bedside. It was the la t ter who. as the te<ti-•May a f t e r w a r d s develoj^ed. pur-chased a quanti ty of arsenic at a local chemist's, though he declared that Mme Lefarge had told him to get It In order to destroy some rata that bad Infested the old bouse

After an Illness of only a few weeks—during which the jraaagcr Mme. l e f a r g e Insisted that a fa-mous specialists be summoned only to be overruled by her mother-in-law—Lefarge died and the report rapidly spread tbrouphout the coun-tryside that Ihe young widow, then only twenty-four years of aye. had poisoned him In order to get his for tune and to be free to marry her former s w e e t h e a r t Medical Inves-tigation failed to show any tracea of arsenic but. In spite of this. Mme. Lefarfre was arres ted.

While she w a s awaiting tr ial an-other angle to tbe case developed la tbe charge made that the alleged murderess was responsible fo r the thef t of a number of valuable jewels belonging to a certain Marquise de Llautaud. a f r iend v h o bad visited at Les Glandiers a few mouths pre-vious. Marie Lefanre denied any knowledge of tbe theft, but stated that t be marquise had disposed of tbe stones. In order to save herself from blackmail, a statement vhich was not believed by tbe Jury which convicted be r of stealing her fr iend's gems. At tbe trial tor mur-der which followed Mme. Lefarge was also found guilty and sentenced to t be guillotine, a decree which was later commoted to life Imprison-m e n t

Tbe next development in the case came U' years later when tbe Mar-quise de Llautaud confessed that she had sold her jewels precisely ; as Marie Lefarge had claimed and tha t the ImpriKoued woman was not {

guilty of this charee—a declaration • which was used as a wedpe to re-open the en t i re case and eventually | resulted In tbe release of tbe widow with a reversal of the verdict of the murder c a s e But the mystery sur-roundlnc the death of Le fa r r e was never cleared up. despite tbe fact tha t two of t h e most eminent crim-inologists of the day declared that he had been killed by Dents, the foreman, while other authori t ies ; were Inclined to the belief that tbe | elder Mme. T/efnrge had had a hand In hi t suddeu i l lneu and that she had been responsible for sending him the cake which resulted In the first a t tack. No more a r res t s were made, however, and the "affair Le-f a r g e - was allowed to remain as one of tbe ursolved mysteries of the French police.

Only Married Men Are Raised

By MARY MARCH

KA T E UICK8ON overheard two older women who sat ahead of

ber on lop of Ibe bus as she n»de toward her office In the city that May moraine.

" I t ' s my Ann belief." said one, " tha t any girl can marry any man she wants. If she goes about tl In tbe right way."

"Oh, of course," said the oilier. "Only providing tha t the man In question Is f ree."

"Of course." Kate heard the other woman aaylng. "So If a man Is not marr ied It Is because no woman ever wanted him. If worn-HI aren ' t married It Is because they never wanted to enough to make the necessary l i t t le effort.'*

To Kale's regret ' h e had to alight f rom the bus at this poin t To be aure, the women whom she had heard said cothlng very or iginal Kale bad heard some such notions expressed before. Still the conver-sation aet her thinking. She won-dered whether it were t rue that tbe men who were not married were single because no one had ever wanted lo marry them. What about Morion Co* and Mr. Hampton In the office, for Instance?

Kate was still thinking about th i s as she sat at ber desk aming-tng ber pencils, notebooks and o ther parapherual la sf her t rade as secretary to Mr. Slandish when Mr. Hampton came Into her room. "The theory must be all wrong," reflett-ed Kate. Surely, there must have been plenty of women who would have been glad to have become his wife. There w a s old Mr. Slandish. who had survived two wives and was married to a third. Certainly his success In matrimony had not been due to any personal attrac-Uoaa,

"Say, Miss lllckaon." said Tom Hampton with a little emburrasa-m e n t "there 's something I 've been wantine to a»k you. You know Mr. Slandish so well." Tom Hamilton drew a chair ra ther d o s e to Kate aa If for greater privacy of speech, and Kate, noting tbe details of his dress and careful grooming, again reflected to herself that t he theory she had iieard in the bus must be all wrong, at least In this case of Tom Llampton.

"It 's a funny thing." said Tom Hampton, "but since I've l»een here I 've Just about doubled the amount of business I've brouglit in but I haven't bad one raise. And there are four or five of the men who a r e n t doing nearly so well who have bad raises several t lmea Of course. It la Mr. Slandlsh's af-fair , not mine. But I wondered If you knew why it is that he never gives me any more."

"Let 's aee." said Kate, dropping Into her purely business manner. "There was Jones and Greljtsoo and Ladd and Innla. They had raises, and you and Henley and Jackson d i d n ' t You and Henley and Jackson aren' t married—the o thers are. Mr. Standisri always gives tbe men raises when they marry, and be keeps on raising them. It 'a only fair—"

"Not really fair at al l ." said Tom Hampton. "A bachelor might have reBponsibilltiea, a widowed sister or a blind a u n t or a—or something like t h a t Besides. It Isn't any of bis business. He should pay what we are worth."

Kate Hlckson had never seen Tom Hampton so fervent before. The mood, site t hough t became him well, but she an Id nothing.

"Something ought to be done about I t " be said.

"Only one th ins to do about It*" cam# a voice deep but a trifle trem-ulous f rom the doorway, unmistak-ably that of Mr. Slandish, the much-married "boss." "Only one thing, and that Is lo get married. Bach-elors don't deserve to get what they earn."

Old Mr. Standisb laugiied. as Kate thought, n little unpleasantly Then he and Tom Hampton went away and Kate sat there thinking Perhaps those women on the bus lop bad been right—perhaps any woman could marry any man she wanted to. proviled he were free. With these thoughts was tbe Impression of the strength and good uaiure mid tbe good looks of Tom Hampton. It is small wonder If Kate 's thong'ils wandered a little f rom ner work that day, and If a s t range uvw blea —half Impulse, half resohe—took form In ber mind.

The next morning wbeu Kate en-countered Tom Hampton as lie came Into her office she looked ai him wlth^ a ra ther arch smile.

"Good morning. Mr. Hahipjoo." abe said, and Tom commented lo himaelt tha t It was an odd thing that be bad never noticed what a t r im, and pret ty stenographer Mr. Standisb bad. Af ter that he fell a species of aelf-consciousneas whenever she passed him. Always aba looked at him a little archly. Mr. Hampton bad to admit to blm-aelf tha t t be glri really seemed to like him. When be talked now she listened attentively. Doubtlesa she found htm entertaining. Well, be waa r a the r entertalping. thought Tom to himself, and tbe next day he asked her to have dinner with him.

ftiree weeks later Tom Hamptoo aaked K a t e to marry him, and Kate •aid she would.

•Funny thing la,** said Tom, "It all began a f t e r what Mr. Standisb aald about giving ra ises only to the married men. Of course. III be glad to get t be ralae," be added, "but 1 think I would have wooed you anyway. Wber a man finda tbe woman be want a, nothing atands In the way."

And Kate murmured : "1 think so. too." Ift I t l t MKIar* SvndlcftU.)

Best Horseshoer in That Vicinity

By CHARLES SLOAN REID

EI.LKUV MAItTIN pottered about Ihe little smithy, salvaging

bolta. scraps of iron plate and other odds and end* from the leavings of many jobs done for the f anne ra and villagera of tbe community In which he lived. Occasionally be glanced from the doorway, looking both ways aion* the r i lage s t r e e t Not a patron was In s igh t After an hour of work he paused and pricked up his ears. He hurried to the door again. A man reined m a weather l»eaten aorrel mare which was bitched to a little buggy tha t had reen long service.

"Want 'er SIMMI. Jenkins?" asked Ellery In a hopeful t o n e

"Reckon not, Ellery," said Jen-k i n s "Jest stopped to see ef yub knowed of anybody a s wanted a boas? Got to aell mine. Got to buy a automobile, I reckon—to keep peace In the family."

"I reckon. Jenkina—I reckon. It 'pears as bosses is goln" o u t " Mar-tin s bands fell limply to his aides, and he shook Ids head mournfully. "Been shoeln" horses for nigh fifty year, Jenk ins ; an' I reckon as bow yub'd say I was tbe best shoer In the c o u n t r y r

"No mistake about thet. Ellery." "They alnNt many bosses comes

now. Git a few ploys to s h a r p e n -thet 's about all."

"Well, ef yuh see anybody wantln ' a boss, wish'd yub'd send 'em to me."

"Yeah; all right Jenkina—I'll do I t "

Jenkins drove away. Ellery wait ed half ao hour for another patron, but none came. Kehlnd the shop was a little trail that led to a small cottage In the rear where Ei lery and his wife made their home Martin slowly walked down the trail, paused In front of the cot tage. with bis head bowed. A b sent-mindedly his hand crept to tbe doorknob and closed upon I t

"Alethy." he said, when finally be stood In the open doorway, "what ever air ye agoln* to do?"

"Ain't bad no Jobs this momln'. EileryT"

"Narry, nor none yesterday, 'cept •harpenin" three plows. Them trac-tors they got to usln' hes run out the mules; an' the autlmoblles hes run out the bosses Hit's a bad case. Alethy."

"I grant till l a Ellery. Lord, I reckon we've lived too long."

There was silence for some mo-ments. Presently the stillness was Interrupted by a sharp call from tbe shop.

"Hello, Blacksmith T came the t a l l

At the front door stood a man In knlckcrs and riding boots. Be-yond him In tbe s treet was a shiny little road c a r t Harnessed to the cart In bright tan-leather trappings stood the most beautiful mare that Ellery Martin bad ever seen. Tbe old man'a gaze traveled quickly to the animal 's shapely hoofs. In stantiy he discovered a bare hoof snd bis blood coursed quickly through bis veins In anticipation not only of a lob. but of such a job. shoeing such a mare.

"I was told." began tbe visitor, " that I would find a horse-shoer here."

"They ain't no better hoss-shoer than what I be, s t ranger ." declared Ellery with emphasis.

"All right, f r i e n d ; let me see what you can do for my m a r e Pull the other shoes and give me a four-full Job. I am going down the street a tittle way. Be back time yon get the mare ahod."

Ellery Man In rubbed his hands together gleefully, as he turned about for his k i t

Forty minutes later Ihe owner of the mare r e tu rned to find the animal ready for the road. Walk Ing around her. one a f te r the other he pulled up each hoof. Inspecting the Job critically, while Ellery stood by watching his movements Pres-ently Ihe s t ranger turned to Mar tin with a smile.

"The most ar t is t ic Job I ever have had, f r i end ! " exclaimed the man with enthusiasm. "How much do I owe y o a l "

"Dollar and a half," said Martin resi«ectfully.

"Dollar-fifty 1" There was a slight Inflection In tbe man's voice.

"Maybe bit sounds a leetle high—'* Ellery began to stammer.

"High? Man. that Job Is worth five dollars to me—and here's your money."

Ellery Martin looked at the bill In amazement.

"And by the way, Horse-shoer, do you get much woik here?"

"Not What wi' the autlmoblles an' the tractors, I'm Jest about done fcr ."

"Good! Then Pli tell you what 1*11 d o ; 111 give you fifty dollars a month, with bouse rent and water and lights free, to move to my stables and shoe horses for me— no mules—no rlpa—Just thorough bred h o r s e s "

Ellery Martin stared at the man a moment, and tears came Into bis eyea

"I ain't dreamln' , I don't reckon, Ulster r be asked.

The man laughed. "No, old man —the bargain will be mine."

"Lord. I got to run tell Alethy." Excitedly be burst In upon his

wife at tbe cottage. "Alethy. oh, 'Lethy—" The old man choked; and. pointing toward the s t ranger standing In tbe rear doorway of Ihe abop, be managed to s t a m m e r :
