"I'm running The $entt- nel, to make a living." "You don't have to nuke a living that way, Plenty of mon—" tehe interrupted sharply. "I've beard that before. Listen, Mr. ]elks, I don't intend to got mar- ried, Even if I wanted to I could not. I'm married already." Ile stopped in his stride, stared at her. "You're loadin' me," he said. There was a flint of defiance in the poise of her head, and In her eyes a bitter sell -mockery, " Its true. I'm a deserted wife." She added, a beat of anger in her voice, "So you need to be chivalrous about me no longer.

They raced along a stretch of level road in a cloudof dust. In a out, outside of Blanco, the sound deepened and made heavy going. The pace slack. erred. "GTllere% the fire?" asked Anne with a cheerful gain at her com- panion. "They won't be kicking ap their heels so muck in . reeeour hours," Rufus promised. The road went gun -barrel straight through a sage flat that stretched for miles, then swung toward the filmy mountains standing against the far horizon. It wandered in casual fashion over low -backed hills which gradually became high. er as they rose wave onwave to the misty range.

They descended into a -valley and swung .from the road to a' small ranch house nestling among some cottonwoods. In the corral a wind- mill clicked' cheerfully. Jelks yelled, "hello the' house!" Phil Lamprey came to the door. "Like to water the team," Rutile called, after a word of greeting, "Help yourself." Phil came for- ward and recognized Anne. For a moment he was disturbed. He thought she had come to see his brother. But be greeted leer,. warmly. "We're drumming up subserib- ere to The Sentinel," ,]elks ex- plained. "Are you on the list? And have you paid up?"

Tests Officials of Noorcluyn Aircraft Limited, Montreal, have announc- ed what they believe to be a new Canadian record for the testing and acceptance of planes used in the dominion's war effort. They said that recently the company's test pilot, E, L. Capreol and FO. G. R. Lortie tested eight new planes and seven repaired machines in one day. So far ns they knew, officials added, the mark never Inas been equalled in wartime either in Canada or the United States, Many War Tasks For #" wall '.men -American F arm Bureaux Head Tells Convention of Their Role Rural women have a great task to perform ie. the fight for demo. cracy am' have early reason to be proud 01 then' part In the war et - fort, Mrs, iii. Schuttler, depart- mental chief, of the American Farrel Bureaux in Missouri, recent- ly ecently told 125 Cana(iau and United States delegates to the regional conference o1 the Associated Countrywomen, of the World. AIi Are Farmers When the ordinary person talks of "woven farmers," she said, he is thinking' primarily of women who manage tlleh' own farms, but actually all farm women are "we - men farmers," Ttiey are "really professional women entitled to professional pride." "Woolen who are on farms have been too modest," Mrs. Sehuttler said. "Parra women manage their homes, poultry yards, dairies and gardens. And every can of string beans, every jar of preserved hint, every fresh vegetable plate served on the home table releases just that much of other necessities to the countries fighting for democ- racy." Women Co -Operate Agricuiture Minister Hon, J,G. Gardiner paid tribute to farm wo- men for the w,ay they have co- operated in making Canada's war- time food program successful, Speaking of rationing in !Ong• land and the lack of it in Can- ada, Mr, Gardiner said: "We are not rationed in the same sense, yet if you exmaine the figures for certain food products—bacon, cheese, eggs and others -you will see that in the case of bacon we have promised to send 600,000,000 pounds of pork products to Britain in the third year of the war, "We will do It, even 1f 1t means there is not a pound left in Can- . ada for home consumption, "In the simple statement that the entire production of Ontario and Quebec ot a certain type o1' cheese will go to Britain, it meads that more than 90 percent of ail 'the cheese in Canada is going abroad, Women, as the purchasers of food and the persons who prepare it for consumption, play a vital part in "what is eaten" and "What quantity Is eaten." "Without the co-operation of Canadian women in these war years, and especially rural women for nearly 60 percent of our women live on faints or Ili .rural cominun• itiee, the food program could never have been so successful," M1. Gar- diner said, German Losses Now 1,750,000 Fighting on East Front De- clared Broodiest Battle in History An authoritative British source has announced that German losses, in the war with Russia talus . far are believed to total about 1,760,000 and that Russian losses .have been ''from 2,000;000 to 3,000,000" in the bloodiest fighting in history: This source, in the higliest guar - tel s, said: "None can overpraise the Rus- sians' conduct of the. war. They are magnificent and proved the sincerity of their scorched earth promises by blowing up the Lenin (Dnieper river) dam," He asserted that Britain is send• Mg the Russians "all the airplanes we can spare and all the rnibber they can usg"—two of their most important needs. The planes are .being acoompan fed by ground e1'ewe and skilled aircraft engineers; this source said,• but the Russians prefer to fly the planes themselves. The Russian•a already are dis- cussing the campaigns of "next spring and August," he said and Britain is confident the Soviet will hold out through the winter with devastating effect on Ger- man troops and morals. The Russians now have 9,000,000 troops in action and soon will do ready to put in '1,000,600 more and have no need fol' British or Am- erican troops, Dutch Oranges Upset Germans Subtle Netherlanders, seeking new means to bring home their patriotism to the Nazi army of occupation, now do it by pausing on street corners and eating an: orange with provoking delibera- tion. Orange is the national color of, the Netherlands, It is one way of proclaiming that they are still loyal to the House of Orange, yet the Nazis can do nothing about it, since they have not decreed that it is illegal to eat oranges on the street, The Netherlanders plant red. and blue flower beds, but since it 'likewise is not illegal to grow flowers they are able . to shrug .off any German protests..

Lab The leg of lamb for roasting and the chops for broiling are the generally well known Cuts of lamb but, to be economical, con- centrate o11 breast, shank and tech. In cooking lamb the cardinal principle is the same as all meat cookery, that is, "cook at a mod- erate temperature, at least most of the time." Any pleat cooked at high temperature loses juice shrink and flavour and became dry. For roasting tender cuts there are two important rules. Tho fest,—use no lid onthe pan; the second,—add no water. Covered roasters and lidded water go to make steam and when pleat is cooked with steam the flavor is lost and also the meat juices. Here are two general hints on Iamb, the fat on lamb hardens at higher temperature than the fat on other meats so be sure to serve lamb either piping hot or cold; not luketv:.rm, Stuffed Breast of Lamb 3 lbs, breast of lamb 1 tablespoon minced onion lA cup diced celery 1Fz Cup butter 6 cups soft bread crumbs 1s teaspoon salt Dash of pepper % teaspoon sage 14 teaspoon nutmeg Ni teaspoon thyme 1 egg slightly beaten 1/4 cup boiling water 1 cup mint jelly 'A cup vinegar 3 tablespoons finer 2 cups water Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper.
