SYNOPSIS
When Carl Rogers, editor of
the . "Powder Horn Sentinel,' is
filled from ambush in the land-
grant fend by Russell Mosely's
Hat T riders, Anne Eliot, of Mas-
sillon, Ohio, his^ niece, inherits
the paper. As she steps from the
stagecoach at Blanco, there is a
pistol shot. Jim Silrtott's hat is
whisked . from his red head, but
the editor who succeeded Rogers
recovers it before running to a
doorway. Buck Sneve, a Hat T
rider, levels his gun again but he
drops dead as a door closes be-
hind Silcott. This fatal gun play
had followed Sneve's appearance
in the Trail's End with Jud Pren-
tiss, his foreman, and other Hat
T riders; Jud dragging Jesse Lam-
prey after him, Jud accused Jesse
of double-crossing Mosely in the
feud, Jesse's younger brother
Phil refused to leave without
Jesse and when Jud started to
hit Phil, Silcott, waiting for 'a
game of poker, asked if Mosely's
orders included .beating up the
boy. Angrily, Jud warned Jim
he was on dangerous ground,
plied his quirt on Jesse till he fell
writhing to the floor, and left
with the Hat T men. It was then
that they lay in wait for Jim.
Jeilcs takes Anne to the "Sen-
tinel" office and Jud and his men
sboot it up but leave when Jim
shouts that Anne is inside. Jim
refuses to quit, saying he can't
let Mosely drive hint out. Sheriff
Lawson comes to arrest Jim but
Anne says she will cover the town
with potters that tell the truth.
Mosely offers to buy the "Sen-
tinel" but Anne tells him she will
run it herself. Anne had been
engaged to Jesse Lamprey in Mas-
sillon. She thanks Phil for asking
if he can help her.
CHAPTER 16
Anne soon discovered that she
liked working on a paper. Sil-
cott had stayed on the job as her
mentor. He taught her bow to
give a friendly gossipy tone to
the "Sentinel" news and impres-
bed on her that even trivial events
were worth recording to build
up interest and good will. She
lound herself setting down that
Hilary Benson, champion horse-
shoe pitcher of the Powder Horn
country, had been challenged by
Pete Yeager and had successfully
defended his title by winning
three games out of five. Bar
Overstreet, she wrote, had brought
in to the editor a basket of the
largest potatoes ever grown in
the county. Everybody was
pleased to know that little Bobby
Simpson had recovered front the
measles and was back at school.
Her advisor drilled into the young
woman the importance of getting
as many names into the columns
of the "Sentinel" as possible.
She decided she should write
the story of the Sneve killing and
the subsequentattack on the
"Sentinel" building, and took it
to Silcott for criticism, After
reading it, he slanted a warm
friendly grin at her, white teeth
flashing in the tanned face.
"My, my, lady, this won't do
The whole

Spearmint Gum is a treat
for young and old. And the
chewing helps keep your
teeth clean, bright and at-
tractive. Thedeliciousflavor
sweetens your breath,
freshens you up: Join the
millions of happy families
who enjoy Spearmint after

at all," he told her. "You've
turned a news story into an eel-
toriah. Just tell what took place.
Don't scold the Hat T boys. Be
very brief and, impartial, The
only names you need to mention
are Sneve's and mine. I think
your story is ,much too indignant
and much too,long."
"But why?" Anne demanded
hotly. "You had me write near-
ly half a column about the school
entertainment. There isn't much
more than that here. Or isn't
murder big news here?"
Jim's eyebrows lifted whimsi-
cally. "Murder?" he said. Then,
"If this story had nothing to do
with the 'Sentinel' I would say
give it a big play. But it has
everything to do with us. Folks
will be expecting you to lambaste
the Hat 'P riders, and if you do
they will discount all yob say,
figuring• that you will be telling
your side of the story, My idea
would be to write a short imper-
sonal account, giving nothing but
facts. This would be a complete
surprise. You would gain ground
a lot. Fair-minded people would
see you are an editor not biased
by your personal viewpoint."
Anne Writes The Story
"They would think I was afraid
to tell what I thought."
"Not if your policy about local
issues is firm. It doesn't natter
what you think about this killing.
All that matters in a news story
is just what happened," He
glanced through what she had
written. "You say here, 'Jud
Prentiss and his ruffians rode
into Blanco with lawlessness and
murder in their hearts.' We don't
know. that. Anyhow, it's only an
opinion.»
"I suppose it's only an opinion
lila they flogged Jesse Lamprey
and tried to kill you and came
down here and shot into this
building with me in it."
"Let ale write the story," he
suggested. "You don't have to use
it. But it will give you a line on
what l mean. It's important folks
should not think you are just an
impulsive girl." Again he gave
her his cheerful smiler. "We're
going to show them a real editor."
Anne surrendered reluctantly.
She liked what she had written,
as most young writers do. But
her judgment told her Jinn was
right.
She ran •tire story exactly as
Silcott wrote it, though she found
a good deal of fault with what it
left out. "You don't even say
they lay in wait to try td kill
you," she complained. "You
speak about an unfortunate shoot-
ing affray. That's a nice way
to talk about a bunch of murder-
ers," •
A Reformed Character
"Everybody in the county
knows just what e.took place,"
Jim said. "We're not giving any-
body information; we're just go -

Rufe conceded, "Ross won't

know that if ever you get riled

the whole story,"
"Would Mr. Mosely care much
if I 'did?"
"Considerable. He's bullhead-
ed, and he's going his own way
regardless. But he likes folks to
think he's a good citizen, the way
'the Big Mogul in the district
ought to be. I{inda funny too.
You wouldn't expect the boss of
a hell -roaring outfit like the Hat
T to be thin-skinned. But Russ
isn't any Jud Prentiss. When
he pulls off his dirty work he
likes it to be all nicely covered
up."
Anne smiled. "You don't like
him much, do you?"
"Not so you could notice it.
How about you, Miss EIiot?"
"He's very good-looking," she
said judicially.' "And he told me
himself he was a good citizen."

Away From Little Children
"Everything from plain dirt to

young children during that inquisi-
tive 'taste everything' peeled which
comes between one and five years,"
says Dr. J. Harry Ebbs, writing in

years ()Lege.
At least one child a week Is [alt.

states, while every year many child
deaths from the same cause are re-
ported. Carelessness on the part of
adults contributes at least equally
with infant curiosity to this oudi-
tion, ho intimates.
LOCK UP MEDICINE CIIIEST
Medicines head the listof poisons
swallowed by young children, says
Dr. Ebbs. Sometimes they are ad.
m'inister'ed in mistake by an adult;
at other times they are left in
places accessible to the child, who
helps himself. Ile giveeett list ot
pills and tablets which have been
responsibe for the poiso•'ng, and
sonetltnee the death, of children.
In other cases, children have found
bottles of liniment, fotmaldehyde,
lodins and other liquids, which they
have tasted with tragic results.
The doctor urges that, to avoid
such accidonts,.,all homes be pro-
vided with a locked medicine cabi-
net, or at least` oils which , is out
of the reach of: children, and that
every bottle or package in it be
labelled plainly with its name and

POTISON ANTIDOTES
As to what should be done if a

A Vegetable Chat
Now that the gardens are at
their best and ono is just literally
surrounded with vegetables, one
cannot help but think of lions
fortunate we are to have this rood
and vitamins at our very doors.
As blood regulators, vegetables
ars incomparable. Those most
helpful in this respect are spin•
itch, celery, chant, lettuce, tome
toes, fresh cucumbers, carrots,
cabbage, cauliflower, beans, beets,
parsnips, lima beans, radishes, po•
tatoes, turnips, asparagus, onions
and peas. Next of importance is
to keep in mind those vegetables
furnishing iron to the blood, such
as spinach, beets, carrots, chard,
watercress, cabbage, asparagus,
string beans and brussels sprouts.
Rich in Vitamins
It Is notso many years ago that
research was commenced on vita.
min study and now it is a house•
bold word. It was found that
green vegetables, fruits and milk
and milbc products contain a very
special substance necessary t0
growth and health, By encl.'.
meeting in the feeding of animals
it was found that, when deprived
of those health -giving substances,
growth was retarded or stopped
entirely and the general health
showed a breakdown. When the
vitamin foods were again given
there was almost immediate eve
deuce of positive improvement in
health. The richest in vitamins,
are lettuce, celery and raw cab-
bage, Tomatoes are amongst the
most important ot the vitamin
vegetables.
The salts and acids of vege-
tables are better tonics and blood -
builders than the finest medicine.
Stalk and leaf vegetables do more
than any artificial method to rid
the body of poisons and regulate

Spacing of Windows
Aids in Appearance
Location of doors and windows
have an important bearing on the
house's interior appearance. These
are a matter not of most but of
forethought as to their affect on
the exterior.
Through proper spacing and
grouping of doors and windows a
simple rectangular house can be
given character and pleasing var-
iations from its neighbors.
Corner windows may often be
used effectively to obtain wall
space in small rooms, Where win-
dows of the usual type are used,
they should not be placed too near
the exterior corners as this has
the effect of malting the stt'uc•

For British Army
Two English, villages, whose
names are recovered in William
the Conqueror's Domesday Book,
today supply Britain's fighting
forces with millions of packets of
potato crisps.
They come from 20,000 tons of
potatoes, grown on the world's
largest potato farm and producing
about 125,000,000 packets of
"crisps" a year. It is the biggest
purely agricultural estate in Eng-
land covering an area 72/ miles
long by O% miles wide of the best
Lincolnshire heath and fenland. It
Is served by a light railway, with
20 miles of track, 120 truck and 5
Diesel engines, and it takes in the
whole of the village of Noetor
and most of Dunston.
10 DISTRIBUTING FACTORIES
All the potatoes from the es-
tate, heel the output of 80 other
farms, are turned into "crisps" in
10 factories. distributed through-
out Great Britain. There are two
other factories in Australia, one
at Sydney and the other at Mel -

factories use 40,000 tons of pota-
toes a year to produce 5,000,000
packets of "crisps" a week. They

as well as Service canteens and
