Op `1\ RAIN ; 'y CHAPTER 15 "Ma Russell says she got Jellies to take her down to have, a look at the 'Sentinel' building." "Just like her. Where's she stay' ing—at MaRuesell's?" "Yes: I'll have to go see her this evening and find out 1f there's anything we can do for her." "I reckon so." Jesse gloomed over ber arrival with surly resent- ment. "This was a hell cf a time for her to come, with me laid up in bed." Phil was about fed up. "Why shouldn't she come if she 'wants to look things over?" The man on the bed deflected the conversation for a moment to biniselt, "What they saying about —about the way Jud treated me?" "I haven't heard a thing. All the talk is about the killing of Sneve and the rumpus down at the 'Sen- tinel' last night, and about Anne's going to run the paper. The gen- eral opinion is Sneve got what was coming to him." "I wish to hell it had been Pren- tiss aswell as Sneve—and Silcott too for that matter. He didn't lift a hand for me when the big bully Jumped me unexpected." "Very likely we would all have been killed if he had. By the way, Russ Mosely is in town. Saw him going into the Jumbo." Jesse eat up, a startled look on his face, "What's he here for'?" "Don't know. He called on Anne. They say he isn't backing Jud for cutting loose his wolf. I guess there's nothing to worry about" "Easy for you to say that," the man on the bed snarled unhappily. "You're not the man he's after:" Jim Will Get His "Russ isn't going t'o bother with You now, Jesse," the younger bro. ther said, filling the kettle from a basket of water. "I don't suppose he is very well pleased with you. but after what happened last night he has bigger fish to fry. This is how .I size it up from what folie are saying. Jud had nt orders to go as far as he dill. His boss doesn't like to play his band out In the open: But the milk is spilt now. He'll not angst that Jim Silcott killed Sneve. One of these days Jim will be put out of the way without any wltnesnes pees. sntvery likely drygulcbed and his body never found. That's the taut anyhow. Well, Russ is no tool. He won't want to overplay Ms hand. Best thing for you that could bane happened is this kill- ing of Sneve. You . get lost and forgotten in the shuffle." Wben Phil had dinner ready aesse limped to the table. "111 have to get cut to the revolt tonight to 'look atter the Stock," the boy said, pouirng cof- fee. "You can look after yourself now all right. If I were you, soon as I could ride, I'd get out to the ranch too." "Of course I will. Think 'm a fool, to.stick ar and here and take everybody's grins wben bhoy see me," He swore a weak fur1oue oath. "Someday I'm going to nettle with Jud.Preetiss in full for what he did to me." "I wouldn't think too much about that, Jesse," his brother ad- vised. "Best thing is for' you til forget it all seen as you can." "Not till I've fixed that damn bully." "She's To Good for You" After Phil )tart washed the dishes he tied. a silk bandanna round his neck. As he was knot- ting it Jesse thing a sneer at him. "So you're going to make a play for .Anne Dont fool yourself, kid. She won't go in for cradle snatching." Phil flushed, He had always pd. mired Anne tremendously, as a youngster does a girl older than himself, with no- expectation of a reciprocal emotion. "I reckon you are right," the boy cut back. "She will have had enough of this fam- ily.. "Is that so?" The vanity of Jesse throve him to boasting. "A lot you know about it. I could tell you something that would make your eyes pop out" - "You couldn't tell me anything about bee that would show her any. thing but the finest girl I knew," Phil retorted loyally, "She was always feu' too good for you, and she got a Ducky break when you took up with that girl in the t,nn)ty tonk," Phil started for the door, "Give ve her m love and tell 1 her >('h1 be 'round one of these days," the nldey )rOthtr c&lied after him, "I'd be ashamed to mention your name to ber," Phil flung back. !She boy was not very sure how Anne would receive him. She might bo done with the whole family. If she were cool to 'him ho would not blame her, '1 -le found her in the garden among Ma Russell's hollyhocks and as soon as she saw kith she flung upa hand in greeting. 'Her `warm and friendly voice relieved him immensely. It swept away the embarrassment he felt., Girl From elome - "I didn't know until an hour ago that you were here," he said; "Are you all' settled? Is there anything I can do for you?" "I can't think of anything, but if I do I'll call In you." Ile thought that the years had made her more lovely. There had always been magic in her for hire, but she had lost the lankiness of her undeveloped teens and now carried her slender fullness with a poised resilience of muscles per- fect}y synchronized. "I hear you are going to edit the 'Sentinel,' he mentioned. "I am going to try. It won't be easy on account of this land- grant feud. Everybody seems to be on one side or the other. I heard about some trouble you had with one of Mr. Mosely's foremen. Yon and Jesse too." Pkil was glad she had mentioned hie brother in a tone so matter • of fact. They could hardly talk and leave his name out of the con- versation without awkwardness. "It was Jesse's trouple, not mine," Phil said. "Is he on the Flat T side" "Well, he was at first. Russ Mosoly employed him to do odd jobs for liini. But Jesse has been kinda swinging round lately. That's why the Hat T naen beat him up." "Have you matte up your mind which side is right?" Anne asked. "I don't know which side is right, legally," be hedged. "But you know which side your sympathies nee on." "Yes. But I don't taut about it, I'd as soon tell you. I'm for the small settlers who are fighting for their ranches against the fiat T." She nodded. "So am 5" She changed the nsbject. "Tell mo about yourself, Phil. You and Jesse have a ranch still, haven't you? How are you doing with it?" After tbe boy bad gone, Anne's mind reverted to her problem. Jitu Silcott bad made it very clear that if site opposed Russell Mosely she would have a very dif- feukt time. Ile owned the bank and could cut off loans, The hug- est freight outfit from the rail. road to Dlanco was his, and more than once the "Sentinel" 'ad been faced with a paper shortage. In a dozen ciiffe`ent ways he bad it in hie pewee to inconvenience her and make life unpleasant. (To be continued) Give Hens Water Clean and Fresh This Rule is One of the First Essentials to Efficient Pro- duction of Eggs One of the first essentials to eMe ficient production of eggs is plenty of clean, fresh waterelor the hens. .Eggs are two-thirdt5`" water and water is the most economical source of material for eggs. Hens are so constituted physically that they require plenty of water, es- peolally-in the summer nmonths. It water is riot -available to them for a moderate length of time they will soon 'die. A hen will die from lack of water quicker than any other animal, Practically all the water a hen drinks is exhaled hon the lungs and it it is withheld the lungs soon dry up and the hen will die like a fish out of water. Hens have a peculiar habit or way of drinking—they throw their heads well backwards in order to swallow. Many drinking fountains or troughs are not adapted to easy drinking for the hens. The best water receptacles are those which provide a constant stream of run. ning water, preferably in open containers, raised well above the floor so as to avoid contamination, The water the birds are given to think should be as clean and the receptacles also as clean as they would be if used for human con- sumption. w. .

Beach Popularity: Behavior Rules A Young Man Who Likes to Take His Girl to the Beach Makes Some Worthwhile Suggestions. "I think women who wear a t31reat deal of makeup' on the beach look silly," writes a ' young titan who says he lilies to go to a beach every Sunday and that he usually takes a girl with him. Other beach habits which annoy this young man and which, accord. ing to him, annoy most men, are': Constant halm combing and fuss- ing with makeup.He points out that their are bandanas to keep the hair in place and that it doesn't matter if the nose he shiny between swims. - - CUTE TRICKS NOT - APPRECIATED , - Sand throwing, feet tickling and other so-called cute trieks which make the few hours on the beach anything but restful, Swimming far out beyond a point of absolute safety, and by so doing, causing everybody nearer the shone to worry and fussand shout "Come back." Flirting with lifeguards or, for that matter, with anyone except the man who invited you to the beach in the first place, Wearing a bathing suit which makes people saw "Whew!" you pass bY: Insisting- on staying in the sun so long a bad burn results. Complaining bitterly all the way home about the possibility of blis- tered shoulders or a headache from too much sun; How To Prepare Fresh Vegetables Vegetables Lose Nice Flavor and Food Value if Prepared Too Long Before Cooking To serve tasty vegetable dishes, buy your vegetables as fresh -as possible—and don't start to fix them until it's time to serve them. Lima beans and peas especially lose their flavor after being shell- ed; and cabbage does the same when it is cut up. Green corn starts to deteriorate as soon as it is out of the husk. If vegetables must• be' prepared some time in advance; of dinner, they should be kept cold in the refrigerator until just before cook. ing. But even by standing in the refrigerator, fresh vegetables will lose some of their food value. They lose even more if you cook them in advance and warm then up again. To get the best value from your vegetables buy them as fresh as you can get them, and prepare and nook them just before it's time to servo them. Vegetables are best when cooked only until they are tender—no longer. New Gay Hats With Old Frocks Absence of Paris Models Giv- en Impetus to English Dress Designers — Cosmetics As Scarce in London as Social Functions Hats, when they are worn, are gay and crazy, and people are look' ing to new hats to help them get by with not such new frocks, ac- cording to London, England, re- ports, Clothes are sensible and plain, and hardly anybody dresses at night. No Paris models of course -and this has given English de- signers a chance to produce smart, simple clothes suitable to these queer tines. Suddenly, quite inexplicably about two months ago every' shoe store window was full of "Joyce of California" shoes. How they got here, and why, nobody seems to know. They are being snapped tip at about 45 shillings a pair. Lip. sticks, cosmetics and cigarettes are becoming a problem, 'awl American package cigarettes axe like much tine gold. The wine position is surprising- ly good. Champagne hasn't gone up in price, and there Beane no shortage of anything except good Rhine wires and French vermouth. In some places rye is easiee +n find than Scotch, which, is exported for dollen, and has gone up tr 10 shill- ings a bottle. There are no deb dances, no photographers' awniugs, no courts. Perhaps those thine- have gone forever, but London isn't really changed. The sun shines, the Sea Pontine glitters, and the red musses, now with shatterproof windows, still roar down the long slope of Piccadilly toward IIyde Parti Corn. er and the sunset.

ISSUE 32—'41 A 1 Aussie's Smile of Victory Just before the battle an Aus- tralian "digger" wore this smile, anticipating the British victory in Syria: New Treatment For Applesauce An Improvement on the Old Method of Making Appie. sauce — Saves Time and Adds Flavor A speedy method of making applesauce, which retains more of the apple flavor ,and. color,with less waste, ie the following, says the Christian Science Monitor. First, '-thoroughly wash the an - pies. Then cut them—into chunks. Discard only the stem and blossom spot, and any worm holes o4' bad spots which may appear. PRETTY TO: LOOTS AT Boil with small amount of water utull soft. Strain through a coarse sieve or food mill. -Sweeten, spice, or add a bit of lemon juice for flav- or. The small amount of -waste is surprisingwhen one compares this method with the old way of paring and cutting up apples. The time spent in preparation is cut to less than half. As for the flavor and delicate pink hue—the sauce is as pretty to look at as it is delicious to eat. Price of Grapes Up This Season Ontario's 'Grape Growers to Benefit by 5250,000, Govern- ment Official Declares Hon. A. St.. Clair Gordon, On- tario Liquor Commissioner, late in July announced a price increase for grape's which will benefit On- tario grape growers by $250,000. The announcement- followed it conference in the Liquor Com- missioner's office between groups representing• wineries and -grape growers. -At the conference, it was agreed to advance the prize of grapes from $40 to 550 a ton. Wineries were represented by the Ontario Wine Producers' Associ- ation and growers by the Niagara Grape Growers' Association and the Niagara Wine and -Grape Growers' Organization. - FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS For the. past ten yearsthe grape price has remained at 540 per ton it was stated, and the 510 per ton increase will net Ontario fanners more than a 'quarter - million dollars. "There was complete agree- ment on the price," said Mr. Gor- don. ` "It was felt by both sides that the farmers face inereased operating costs. The increased grape price will prevail for all grapes sold this season," $50 PER TON An 'experienced wine producer estimated . that - 5000,000 is spent annually for grapes, 'Ninety-nine per cent of all grapes used for wine are grown in Ontario. The remaining fraction comes from British Columbia. The 550 per, ton price will cover all types of grapes. Household Hints If a teaspoon of glycerin is add- ed to each pound of fruit when making jam it will pre"ent crystal- lization. Glycerine added to the rinsing water will keep flannels soft. When washing new curtains soak them overnight in water to which plenty of salt has been added. Tbo salt removes the lime from the curtains and makes it easy to get them clean.

Tells Girl Hoboes To Remain Home Ring Jeff Davis of the Hoboes of America, Inc., has ruled the skirt off the road. "The word's going out," Davis said, "that all the girls in our organization—there are 40,000 of them—have got to stay put at home—It's their patriotic d.uty:' Davin reported an increase in young hitch -hikers of both sexes which he attributed as due to "war -time excitement." The Clic Woman Is Well Grotl►)rleid Well -Dressed;. Woman Cares For Her Clothes All The Time - You can tell at a glance how chic any woman is simply by look- ing at her shoes, hat, bag and gloves. • The smart woman's hat, how- ever plain and simple, has a fresh look about it. The ribbon band is crisp, the felt absolutely free from dust. It'h obvious that she always brushes it 'inside and out, before.: she puts it on. Het leather shoes are shining. Her suede ones never look dull from dust. It's apparent that she has leather lifts replaced often and that she puts trees in her shoes the minute she takes them off. LMMVI4CULATE GROOMING er bag never is an over- stuffedshapeless affair. She takes everything out of it once' a week and puts back only what is necessary. She washes white or light beige gloves after each wearing. She treats costume jewelry as she would genuine gems, keeping each piece in its own little cotton - lined box or else putting every thing in a roomy jewel case. Hence her bracelets, clips and pins never are scratched nor the stones loosened. Furthermore, her white blouses and, white neckwear always are epic and span. She knows that immaculate grooming is the foundation of chic. Hiplines in Headlines Fall Dress Collections Attract Attention to Hips in Many Ways Hiplines melte headlines in fall dross collections. We mean hip. lines with details that attract the eye, and give tho impression of a lower waistline. Pockets are one way of calling attention to hips, pockets in fabric or fur, and draped for a soft look. Peplums, draped in soft folds, sometimes describing a criss-cross treatment above easily manipulated front fullness, are other ways of at- tracting the eye and making the hips talking points. For young women who like perky fashions, the deltaic peplum, shallow and flaring, is jaunty above slim skirts. .Also important in hip -in- terest fashions are dresses with corselets in contrasting color or fabric, the corselet in a new posi- tion, with the upper edge at the waistline or slightly aboye, the lower edge extending well over the hipbone.

' Llai f4 PRICED SURPRISINGLY LOW TIMM TALES By SADIE B. CHAMBERS It's hard to realise how, quickly our lovely summer is slipping away and the products of the garden are marching right along. So it seems we should' be saying something about pickling; especi- ally am I in the mood. I have just brought in from the garden a heaping basket of the loveliest gherkins, the earliest, I think, they have ever been, Everyone likes to have a little dab of everything and pickled ' beans have always been a univer- sal favorite. PICKLED BEANS 1 peck beans (beans must be fresh and tender). Prepare beans as for boiling, being sure they are cut in uniform pieces; boil for 1/2 hour, then drain well. Bring to a boil 8 quarts vine- gar (diluted) and 3 lbs, of sugar. Mix in a paste with diluted vinegar the following: 1 cup mustard. 1 cap flour. 2 tablespoons tumeric. Add the hot vinegar and sugar mixture a little at a time until it is smooth and thinned out and then stir the restofvinegar and sugar in the kettle with two table- spoons of celery seed. Stir until thickened anti smooth. Add the beets and simmer, being careful not to let them burn; do not boil longer than five minutes or the beans will become soft. Seal in the usual way in sterile jars. BEETS AND CABBAGE 1 quart cabbage chopped fine (red cabbage preferable). 1 quart chopped beets. Have ready vinegar sweetened and seasoned. About one pint will be sufficient for this amount. If strong dilute, add one cup of sugar, one tablespoon salt, one teaspon black pepper, a dash of cayenne, one scant cup of grated horseradish. Allow this vinegar mixture to cool and then pour over chopped beets and cabbage, which can either be in sealer's or a clock. This will keep well. PICKLED BEETS Boil small beets of uniform size, after washing and leaving -on about one -inch stern, Boil until skins rub off readily. Place in Sealers and cover with sweetened sugar (this should be according to the family's taste some like real sweet, others tart.) Pour the boil- ing vinegar over beets; you may add a stick or two of cinnamon and a little cloves. I prefer to dilute the vinegar, matte then sweet. To insure keeping and give an extra flavor place in steamer for 20 minutes, being sure to leave the tops loose as in canning fruit, Chopped Pickles 4 quarts chopped green tomatoes % cup salt 2 teaspoons pepper 3 teaspoons mustard 3 teaspoons cinnamon 3 teaspoons' allspice 1 teaspoons cloves 14 cup wbite mustard seed 4 green peppers sliced 2 chopped onions 2 quarts vinegar. Add salt to tomatoes; cover; let stand over night and then drain. Add spices to vinegar and !neat to boiling point; than add toma. toes, peppers and onions; bring to boiling potent and cools 15 minutes after boiling Point is reached. Store in bottles and keep in cool dry place. Pickled Onions Peel small white onions, cover with brine, allowing 1% cups salt 00;2 quarts boiling Water and allow to stand two days; drain and cover With more brine; let stand two. days and again drain. Make more brine and heat to ,oiling point;, place in onions and boil three min. utes. Place in jars interspersing with bits of mace and bay leaf; cloves and slices of red ptppen Fill jars to overflowing with vine- gar scalded with sugar, allowing d cups sugar to one gallon et vinegar, Seal while hot.

The Cockr,,;ach: Unpleasant Pest Among World's Oldest Living Creatures — May be Disease Carriers — Are Very Destruc- tive Cockroaches turn up in the best - regulated kitchens. They contamin- ate - food, dishes and everything they touch. Scientists believe they may carry the germs of many hu- man diseases. When numerous, cockroaches not only feed on most food within reach, but attach lea- ther, upholstery, shoes, bookbind- ings and parchment. They seldom appeal in daylight and with their flat bodies they can hide in small convenient cracks. Consequently, they may be present in unsuspected numbers. Cockroaches are among the world's oldest living creatures. The commonly encountered household species lir this country, which have followed the trail of commerce around the world, are the small (one-half inch) "German" roach; the large black "Oriental" variety and the large brownish-blac)c Amer. icau roach which is nearly two inches long when grown, The eggs of the German roach aro laid in oases which for a num- ber of clays protrude from the fe- male's abdomen as she scurries about. The young roaches resembie their parents and develop Into adults in several months. Good, riddanc ecalls for directing a good liquid insecticiiile into cre- vices at the top and bottom of baseboards and moldings, at the joiniugs of shelves and around dralnboards, wee a and drttinpipes. Should rooahes appear, spray them liberally, as it is necessary to wet them in order to kill, Repeat spray- lugs praylugs daily for several days, In bad infestations, bout insect powder and a liquid spray sbouid be used. So- dium fluoride is an effective remedy but should be used with care as it is highly poisonous. Pyrethrum.* powders are non-poisonous and con- sequently safe to use wound food cupboards but treatment must be repeated at weekly intervals be- cause powder loses its potency when exposed to air.
