"I came out here, Tall= man, because I've been hearing ' these ridiculous stories that have been going around out here about me," he said in his sneering voice. "Did you work for the Republic people last winter?" he asked. "Certainly I worked for them. 1 was a rigger •on their pay roll. for •a while." "It'•s the Republic people who've been after are—so • 'Oliver says," Harvey said •dully. 'This," said Gary grimly, "puts Toe in a spot where it's going to be •necessary for me to :prove some- thing—as you probably realize, Kimball. Aid if I happen to .establisi s -something -that isn't cre- ' liftable to you—well, you started this business, please remember." He walked out of theroomwith his head up and his face tingling with wild, angry blood. * * * Mona Lee's eyes had followed hint, and he had seen loyalty in them and unbelief. She was not standing with Oliver. But Ade- laide had sat silent—and Harvey. ' had kept his eyes averted and had not said a word. Tingling with wild anger, Gary went up to his .room. He began throwing things into his suitcase, and then stopped long enough to sit down at the desk and dash off a letter to the Republic Oile Com- pany. Fortunatey, he remembered the name of the man who. had hired him last fall. He stated his case bluntly and asked for a collect telegram in reply, refuting Oliver's absurd accusations. Harvey, Gary suspected, was a little too sensible to believe Oiver entirely—and yet, he was •not go- ing to accept anything , now, till it was definitely proven. He • snap- ped his 'suitcase shut, fastened ie, - and started downstairs. On the landing Mona Lee was waiting for. him. She laid a detaining hand on his arm and her nwntherly face was troubled and anxious. "I'll take you to town myself," she announced crisply. "And 1 know a good place for you to stay --the woman is a friend of mine. If you're bound to go, come along." None of the others appeared when the car was backed out, and.

Proverbs • Z:12. God's Promise God had promised the Israelites that he would give Canaan to thein and would drive out all their ene- mies. Yet they believed. him .not. They rebelled against God by say-' ing that they would supplant Moses. by a captain of their owe choosing o-,fyho would lead them back to Lgypt God in His anger threatens to ex- terminate them. But Moses invokes the mercy of God in a prayer for his people, a prayer altogether self- less, spiritual and sublime—he pleaded the honor of the Lord be- fore mankind; the power of God to achieve His purpose; the long- suffering of the Lord in dealing with a sinning race. Justice of the Lord Israel did not deserve mercy but the justice of the Lord required that punishment should overtake the transgressors. Nevertheless the • prayer of Moses was heard and an- sewered and the people were not wholly exterminated. The people of Israel had sinned, were pardoned and saved ,as a na- tion, but nevertheless' sin must be punished. Net 'ane of the who had rebelled against the Lord was al - ]owe to enter Canaan. They. were to serve another period of proba- tion in the wilderness, and the ten felthless spies died at once by the plague. The people were aroused to the enormity of their sin and mourned bitterly. Nevertheless nothing re- rained for them but to .bide. • tete 'time set for them anew by the Lord. .

The young man pushed past her. "Hello. Lug," greeted Bill Grant. Gary was . definitely glad to see Bill. "What the heck bust?" demand- ed Bill, sitting on the bed. "I went to Mason's and there was the earned well going down—and they told me you'd quit—" « R * Gary told hint, not withholding a nything, "Goes to show," Bill stated, "that what you've got to be is a son-in-law. This morning when I saw her, 1 thought she didn t look any too happy." "Did she say anytyhing—Ade- laide, I mean?" Gary tried not .to sound eager. "L asked her for a date, and she saii she was sorry—she was pretty tt ell written up for some time to come. Have you found out who cut the water line and set this snide lawyer to sue?" "No, but I intend to. In the meantime, I've got to have a ioo. Know any oil comany that needs he services of a bright young man • right now?" "That's what I came to talk about. Though maybe you don't want a job slinging lap steel?" "What's the job?" "Putting up steel down on Old man Harper's land. You can go to work today if 'you want to.

But, between you and grandpa, .1 think they're pretty sure they've got oil. If you work • with me, I can save you a little on that shoulder. "I don't Iike Grice-Morgan very much, Bill" • "Neither do L But I like pay checks", Bill- said. "I ve got a truck outside. I. told Mitchel—he's the boss—I'd get another hand." On the. Harper lease he could work and, watch Mason's well go- ing down, too. And at lunch time he walked up that way and was a little gratified when. he saw old Hickey walking down toward the line fence to meet him. They shook hands across the wire like old friends who had not seen each other in a year "Hello, Hickey. How's she turning?" "Downtwenty-five hundred feet. Into chalk now 'What you. fellers fixing to do?" "We're rigging a well—to get oil: Ever hear of oil, Hickey?" "Heard about it one time," grinned Hickey. , At dusk, just as the rigging crew were knocking off, Gary noted some excitement around the .Mason well. Bill saw it too.

The bobby sox era in high school, be said in an interview, is a natural for flat feet, explaining: "Moccasins, sandals and' the like are as' bad for girls as the too -high heels our mothers used to wear."

Clarke « * The other day" Partner passed the following. remark: "What we want in this country is not more work but better work." The reason for that somewhat cryptic statement was a new shirt, an ordinary plain work shirt which I had brought home for him that day. To start with the material wasn't much snore than good mus- lin, cut to a pattern and then thrown together, with stitching that ran off the seams, and thread ends left hanging everywhere. fn fact the whole shirt was such a mess I wouldn't have looked at it twice a few years ago --unless it were to comment on its poor work- manship. But now I buy a thing like that—and try not to look at it at all. What burns de up is the fact that the manuacturers have their finger on the public pulse, as it were, and .know just what they can get away with. And I suppose as long as there is more money than merchandise the public will continue to be exploited. When manufacturers find goods harder to sell then competition will be keener, each one will try to do a• little better than the other in order to snake his goods more attractive and of better quality. Those days cannot come too soon. Why, we have even bought milk pails, brought then home and found them leaking like a seive. * * * Another problem these days is the butter supply, which threatens to become more acute and may even result in a still further cut In our weekly ration. Federations, conventions, and this and that or- ganization seem to be getting their heads together and wondering what can be done about it. And the solution could be so simple! .If the 2c a quart consumer sub- sidy were taken off milk and placed on churning cream instead, then the situation would soon right itself. But of course to keep the milk at its present price level to producers, fluid milk to the con- sumer would have to be raised to 12c a quart. There is no doubt sub- sidies served a good purpose rn their time but for all that they .are part of a queer system, with farm - HELP BUILD UP RED BLOOD TO GET MORE WM 0 If your blood LACKS IRON!

L• ers and consumers alike, through indirect taxation, helping to pay their own subsidies. A better price on churning cream would also encourage hog production because nearly every farmer who sells cream also keeps a few pigs around as a sideline, so as to make use of his skim milk; whereas there are very few milk shippers who bother with raising pigs. * * * Maybe you will think I dont know what I ani talking about but we have shipped milk for fifteen ycars and before that time we ship- ped cream and raised pigs, so you see we do happen to know both sides of the question, Of course, I suppose Big Busi- ness, in the form of large dis- tributors, would be the bottleneck to the little solution I have men- tioned. Naturally there would be less milk for sale—but there might also be less wasted if the supply x ere not quite so plentiful and the price a little higher—not quite so many bottles left out on doorsteps in the hot summer sun—when summer comes.

Try a :cup of sour cream in a veal stew, or a little curry powder in a lamb stew• Mar foram and thyme or a little bay leaf are good seasonings. Experi- nient, cautiously and taste care- fully. The flavour should be subtle Add the vegetables just, in time to cook tender. Many a stew has been spoiled by overcooking the ',egetables. Additional salt will be required when the vegetables are added. If the meat is dredged with flour, it develops flavour, thickens the gravy and gives it a more at- tractive colour, To Make A Good Stew Cut meat in uniform small pieces. Season well and dredge with fluir, if desired. Brown meat in hot fat. ' • Add only enough liquid to cover. Cover closely and cook slowly at 'simmering temperature until ten- der—about 1% to 2 hours. • Never allow a stew to boil hard.
