"I've been a range rider and a cow- man ever since I left school. Af- ter Carl Rogers was killed I jumped in to fill a gap, but I don't know anything about run- ning a paper. Billy Putnam,.takes care of the printing end of it. I couldn't set a stick of type in a week, Al I do is gather news and write it and solicit ads." e "Well, how do you write news?" "I don't know the right way, but just stick it down as it comes. Like this: 'Miss Anne -Eliot, of Massillon, Ohio, niece of Carl Rogers,; the late editor • of this paper, came to town . Thursday evening to look over the situation. Impressed by the bright future of Blanco, she has decided to stay here and turn the "Sentinel" into a first-class live paper. Welcome to the Pow- der Born country, Miss Eliot. This territory needs more young ladies like you to rub off its rough edges.'" He smiled at her. "I'm leaving out the flubdub about how beau- tiful and accomplished you are. The point is to get lots of names into the paper. Folks get a kick out of seeing their names in print. And butter up the paragraph a little if you can," "What about this land grant feud?- Do 1 have to take sides?" "No, you can sit on top of the fence and ignore it.. That's what a good many editors would do." "Tell me about the land grants. Is there a right side and a wrong side to it?„ The Bare Facts < "I think so. You know most of the bare facts, don't you?" "I know the king of Spahr gave a big grant to Don Jose Gandara, and that after Mexico was free from Spain the government through Armijo gave a large part of the Gandara to Don Antonio Aguilar. Just offhand I should think the Gandara claimants were in the right, since Don Jose's title preceded that of Don Antonio. But my uncle was 0n the other . side, and so are you:" "It's a complicated story. The Candela grant was an agricultural one, but Don Jose used it only for grazing. Re never tools- up residence on it, though some of his vaqueros probably built huts where they could, live while herd- ing cattle." "Did he have to live on it to make his title good?" "Yes, The fact is that he had all the land he needed and was not interested in this great tract. After it was given' to him he did not want it This is proved by what followed. The governor later carved slices out of 'the grant and gave them to other settlers, with no protest from Gandara. Later, when Don Jose succeeded Negates as governor and, captain general of the province, he offi- cially endorsed grants out of the tract, not as from him person- ally but as from the crown. This seems to the conclusive evidence that he had abandoned his claim, His heirs took the same view, for they ,made no effort. to hold any part .of the grant. Purchas- ers did not even consider the Gan - dam grant as a cloud on the title when they bought from Aguilar's sons. • When Russ Mosely went down to .Mexico City and for a song got a quit claim deed from the Gandaras,•the general opin- ion was that he was buying a- dead horse, but he has gone into court with documents—forged . ones in my opinion—and is pushing to oust those in possession." "Is the Hat T ranch on the old grant?" "Not the original ranch, but a large part of the range is in it." Rufe Jelks and a heavy -set man with cold Bulbous eyes walked back through the building to the rear room. Investigating The Killing Silcott nodded to the man, "Miss Eliot, this is sheriff Law - .son." he said. He added, ironi- cally, "I suppose the sheriff has conte to find out who destroyed your property last night so he can arrest them." "As a matter of fact I came to investigate the killing of Buck Sneve," he said bluntly. "I reckon you know the story as well as I do, Lawson," Silcott replied. "Prentiss and a bunch of Hat T men attacked me and in self-defence I was forced to shoot Sneve." "Not quite the way I heard the story, Jim," the sheriff answered. "How did you hear it, Mr. Law- son?" Anne asked. The sheriff looked the girl over before he answered. lie was surprised at the question. Re did not see how she came into this business. "I heard that Jim here lay in wait for Prentiss and attacked hila?" "Well, you'll be glad to know that isn't true," Anne told him. "I was there from the start, They began shooting at Mr. Silcott while he was crossing the street. He ran into the doorway of an old adobe house to•escape. They kept firing at him, and the man who was killed called to the oth- ers that they had got hilt] and rail forward. It was after this., Man Sneve had fired again from the middle of the road that he was bit." "Where were you standing," Miss Eliot?". the sheriff asked, "Beside the stage coach. In front of the office. I could see what happened." "You'd be surprissed, Miss, how differently 'folks see the same Hing,," Lawson said smoothly.

Je!ks addressed his answer to Anne, "The sheriff is a mite friendly to Russ Mosely, who, 'nominated and elected him. You can't blame a politician for that" The officer flushed angrily. "That's not true. But I aim to get to the bottom of this thing," The Sheriff's Insulted Jim put a hand on the arm of his friend. "I'll do the talking if • you • don't mind, Rule. The sheriff is quite right. .You're not ' in this." To Lawson he said, "That's all I ask site big up t the facts. The fuss started at the Trail's End an hour earlier.

Ile wouldn't leave without his broth- er, and Jud started to beat him up. I told Jud to let the boy alone. We had words. Jud grab- bed Jess and quirted him, then stormed out .of the place. Prob- ably they started drinking.. again and decided to get me." "That's your story," the sheriff said. "'Phe one Russ tells will bo different," Tim said evenly. "By the way, what is the one he has cooked up?". Lawson looked at him, hod hostility in his gaze. "How would I know? I haven't seen Mr. Mosely." "I expected he would have reached town , by this time and would be giving out orders," Jim said. Resentment flared in the prom- inent eyes. "That's an insult. Sit- eott. 1 don't take orders from him or anybody else. `I've a good mind to arrest you right now." "At your service," Silcott answered. "Wait' a minute," Anne faced Lawson, a flag of angry color in her cheeks. "If you do I'll have a poster printed telling the truth and have it hung up all over town." - (Continued next week) Expert Offers. Canning g Hints Four Better Methods Than Steaming 'Open Kettle' Meth. od Suggested by Agricultural Department The bride who gets herself "up to the eyes in blueberries" at fruit canning time is as obsolete as the "open kettle method she employs to keep her steaming in the kitch- en all day long, Miss Edith Elliot, food expert of the Consumers' Sec- tion of the Federal Department or Agriculture, told the Canadian Press. "There are roue other and better methods," said Miss Elliot. "They are by using a steam pressure cooker, the hot water bath canner- even a wash boiler or other deep pot with a wooden rack inside to sit the jars on will do nicely—the steam coolcer and simply using an oven.". With the season more than two weeks ahead of time and the berry and cherry preserving time just around the corner, Miss Giliot has lots of hints for housewives. CANNING ECONOMY If Canadian women would take full advantage of each fruit as it comes into steason, making the variety of "butters," conserves, jams, jellies, marmalades and sweet or unsweetened canned fruits, Miss Eiliot said, econo- mies could •be effected which are particularly essential now in war- time. • GENERAL RULES General rules ter canning, said Miss 1111101 -include the necessity For using Cal -tight containers, suf- ficient heat for a sufficient length at time to destroy any form of 1i1'0; choice et "fresh? fruit, and selection for shape, color and fresh flavor. OVEN PROCESS A recently developed and most satisfactory method of, canning Small fruits and ,tomatoes is the "oven" process. The fresh fruit is packed Iii jars. They can be canned with or without sugar quite sue• eesetlt)ly but In the former ease the sterilizing process should be five minutes longer. Boiling water or boiling syrup is poured over the •fruit •and Cho jars partially sealed. They are placed two inches apart on a tray and put into the oven, This is particularly' suitable for an electric or gas over) controlled by a thermostat, "but meet house. wives know, their ovens and ma an oil or oral range can be used." Miss Elliot suggested that where wild fruit is available 'it can be gathered and mixed with other fruit to give au interesting filly,. or. READY PAMPHLETS Miss Elliot has two pamphlets specially prepared for women need• ing advice in canning. Th se are issued free of charge. They are Bulletin 9: "Jams, Jellies anti Pick les" and Bulletin e; "Canning Fruits and Vegetables." No Words, No Wife A woman, giving evidence at North London (Bugle ncl) .police court said: "I toldher husband that his wife had hit me without saying anything. He said. "Never madam. If She didn't say any- thing, she wasn'-t my wife. She always has a lot to say. AIwaye." '? Sabah+ Urged In Kitchens. Quebec Safety League Starts Drive to Cut Percentage Rate Of, Home Mishaps - Tiro safety angle is essential in any program of home economics, Arthur Gaboury, secretary-general of the Province ofQuebec Safety` League, said in an appeal to house-. wives to plan carefully in order to reduce the present rate of 17,8 per cent of kitchen accidents in the total of home mishaps. EASILY AVOIDABLE ACCID1JNTS The league lists burns, scalds, falls, cuts, strains' due to 'lifting excessive weights, crushing `of bodes and bruising of flesh in doors ,and under falling objects, and pots. • onings as the chief causes of 'kit- chen accidents, Many such .mishaps could be avoided, Mr. Gaboury says, it a proper cheek were made of .such tillage as providing a place tor everything and a'•label for such things as need identification, Door bingos and chairs should be kept in good state of render, garbage re. moval should be adeclnate and pro• per sanitary practices observed: Careful methods in house work,. the; use of safety devices and fire extinguishers, first aid, avoidance oer pushing owdilig and Pu.-hlug at doors are also sliggesteci to ''educe acci- dents. Coffee_ Pot Rules •Coffee -making may be as old as Mocha but the brew is often spoiled by the condition of the' percolator, says a prominent chef. Frere are some essential "rules' of the coffee-pot": 1. Rinse pot immediately after you empty grounds. 2. Wash in water that has not been used for other dishes. 3. Scl,•ub all parts where sedi- ment or oil may collect. 4. Rinse with boiling water to remove all traces of soap. 5. Let separate parts air thor- oughly between makings.

CHAMBERS Vegetable Cooking 'In boiling vegetables have the water boiling, when vegetable is put in, and keep it boiling. Add a'teaspoon of salt for each quart of water.' For ' strongiy:,-,flavored vegetables such as cabbage, on- ions, cauliflower,• turnips, use' large quantity of water and cook uncovered. - By this method the odor is not so, noticeable. For mild vegetables use a small •atn- aunt of water .and. cook covered. Spinach land .tomatoes do not need water added, White Sauce For Vegetables 2 tablespoons butter, 2 table- spoons flour, ee. teaspoon salt, a few grains pepper, 1 cup milk or 3 cup milk and 35 cup vegetable Water. Melt butter in saucepan; blend in flour and seasoning's; stir in milk and cook until thick- ened. The Moat Nourishment .Last week I promised you "Salad Dressing." Will you please pardon this delay for one week for in COMES a request for "More about vegetables" for Immediate use. To obtain the most nourisb ment from vegetables and still be the most protection a few rules should be observed. No doubt you all have eaten tasteless vege- tables with the flavor gone and incidentally the food value drain- ed down the kitchen sink. Baking in the skin is the best way to retain the food value of any vegetables—or try cooping in the oven in very little water in a covered dish—and be sure and save the water for sauces— especially with onions and carrots is this method splendid. Spinach also may be cooked very satisfac- torily this way. It is not quite as fine a method. Cheese Sauce for Vegetables To 2 cups of whitesauce add 38 cup grated cheese, Stir cheese into the sauce and let stand In a warm place or in double boiler until cheese melts, Scalloped Vegetables Use such vegetables as cooked peas, 01110ns, asparagus, carrota, cabbage, celery, cauliflower, To 2 cups cooked vegetables allow 1 cup cream sauce. Combine; put in a buttered casserole or baking dish, top with buttered crumbs and bake in oven until heated through and browned on top. A combination of vegetables such as carrots and peas may be used.

Trend Toward Femini l its Hand -Needlework Worn As Trimming on Plain Dresses— Simple Patterns Easy to Do More femininity Is an important new fashion trend, Por some weeks past it has been observed that New York women are using, along with jewelry, manly touches of hand-needlework—gay, colorful bits which lend individually and grace to an otherwise sombre basic dress. It needs only a little courage about color, and a sense cf orderly ar- rangement, to stitch the bits of enrichment in place. Any sort et stitch that effectively .arries the form and color will do. GAY, COLORFUL BITS To draw the design roughly on paper first will be found helpful; then one should define a few ora liuee with a basting thread. Simple flower and leaf forms are probably the best ones to start with—unless one wishes to keep to the even simpler geometric outlines. A fault easily indulged is to allow the ar- rangement to get stringy looking and thin. To avoid tide, keep in mind a compact massing of threads in eacb area; mid lay in the stitch. es sit that enough color will show to decorate the dress adegnately.
