THE WINGHA l ADVAN�"J-TIMES
SYNOPSIS
Rackruff Motors hire Rowena to
accompany Peter on a nation-wide'
tour in their roadster .as an advertis-
ing stunt, At the'last minute Little
Bobby is engaged to act as chaper-
on. ` They are waiting for Bobby to.
show up to snake the start.
A' few miles out Bobby becomes
tearful. at being '.parted from her
sweetheart, Rowena insists on tak-
ing het place in the rumble so that
she can ride with Peter and have him,
to talk to about Carter. Rowena gets
Peter to consent to divide the ex-
pense money each week as soon as
it arrives, and astonishes Peter by.
eating too economically,
The three tourists reach- St. Louis,
after passing through Buffalo and
Chicago. Peter and Rowena have
many tiffs, while Bobby is 'enraptur-.
ed at the way Carter •is fuming over
her flight'from New York.
The morning after they reached
Denver, Peter and Rowena discover
Bobby has deserted therm and return-
ed to ; New York by train.: They are
faced with the impossible condition
of continuing , their trip without . a
chaperon,
Rowena suggests to Peter that they
make a "companionate" marriage.
They are married and go to Chey-
enne, where their actions, when they
ask for rooms- on separate floors,
arouses the suspicions of the hotel
clerk. They finally succeed,in get-
ting rooms, but not without exciting
the laughter of the hotel loungers.
OW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Although Peter was furiously ang-
ry, highly humiliated, and blaming
Rowena for everything, he was kind
at heart and could not resist the
plaintive pathos in her voice, usually
so crisp and cool.
"Good night, Rowena," he said
more pleasantly than she had any
right to expect. "Don't worry., Ev-
rything'1l be all right"'
After a sleepless night Peter was
sown in the lobby at an unbelievably
arly hour. But early as it was, he
lid not precede the interested smiles
fired stares of the day staff which had
eplaced the night workers—clerks,
elephone operators and elevator
Toys.
Even at that unreasonable hour
here were loungers in .the lobby.
find each and every one of them and
ven the head waitress smiling in the
oor of the dining-room,'knew all
bout the young New Yorkers mar
led the day before in Denver who
are 'satisfied"
"I'm terribly sorry," said, Rowen
humbly, "`1 feel just wretch•edl
about everything. But 1 couldn'
possibly foresee such awful complica
tions, now could I, Peter? What ex
perience have 1 had with husband
and hotel registers and such iron
strosities ?
"We'll just have to make the bes
of a suite or adjoining rooms here
after," said Peter more; kindly. "It'
this demanding separate floors th
makes them give us the razzberry."
"But ' we can't have connecting
rooms, Peter," protested Rowena un
happily. "We just can't. We have
tc be terribly careful about things
like that or we can't get it annulled
Don't you see, Peter, if we stay in
adjoining rooms clear across the
country, nobody in the world is going
to believe we—we really did—stay in
adjoining rooms."
"Then we'll have to get a divorce
instead of an annulment. I am not
going to make a fool of myself like
that again."
"But we can't get a divorce in. New
York," protested Rowena. "I wrote
"Rowena, I ask you,; don't be any
a .snore ridiculous than usual,"he
y! lea "
!pleaded. How's it going to look --
t only two of us in the roadster and
- you riding in the rumble seat in this
- boiling hot sun?"
s "I'm `above .worrying about how
things look," said Rowena. "I'd ra-
ther be' bounced and bruised and
t' blistered in the rumble; seat' than in-
- salted in—in the lap of luxury."
s' She raised the - umbrella with a vi-
as cions little click of the snap, adjusted
the cushions about her slender body,
g and rode the rxrrnble in solemn grand-
-` eur, leaving Peter to fume futilely
alone in front.
It was about the hour of sunset
when a sudden shadow blackened the
west, a, sudden cool breeze touched
a story about that once—I know how
the laws are. One of us would have
to go to Reno or Paris to get it and
it would take every cent of money we
can save on the whole trip to pay for
the divorce. And what good would
that be to anybody?"
"I'll give you grounds to get it
right in New York," said Teter grim-
ly. "I'm desperate.
"That's like you, .Peter,"' said Ro-
wena impatiently. "Thinking only of
yourself as usual.—Well, don't you
think for a minute that I'm going to
get a divorce in New York. I'm not
going to be made a fool of there be-
fore all my friends."
"What do you mean—made a fool
of?" Peter demanded.
"Why, having everybody think I'm
so no-good 1 can't hang on to a hus-
band for two months!—No, if it ever
comes to that, I'll give you grounds."
"`You'll what?" •
"Give you groundsfor or a divorce?"
"What grounds?"
"The same grounds as you so mag
-
namiously offered me."
"`Rowena, are you crazy? A wom-
an can't do a thing like that. Why,
it—it would ruin you. You're crazy!"
"Oh, am I? Well, let me tell you
one thing, Mr. Peter Blande1 I'd.
rather have my friends think I step-
ped out on you two months after our
marriage than that I couldn't keep
you from stepping out on fine. It's
much more flattering, I assure you!"
"You would, Rowena, I honestly
believe you would, You're just that
dumb," said Peter. "However, let's
not fight over getting the divorce to-
day. The thing to 'agree on now is
hat we've got to put sip with rooms
adjoining or ensuite and say no more
bout separate floors."
"If 'you're too proud. to ask for se-
parate floors, I'll do it," said.Ro-
wena. "I'd rather be embarrassed be -
emended rooms on separate floors.

He went up -stairs, walked up, to
owena's room and knocked sharply,
"Yes -who?" called Rowena in a' t
ight voice that had obviously been
;hooled to register good nature in a
e face of adversity.
"Me," he answered surlily, "Chuck
ur things into your bag and let's

"How about breakfast?"
'Th'e hell with breakfast,,,
"O, K. by me," called Rowena in
a} maddening voice of one who has
otttly enjoined one's inner soul to
files and sweetness. And indeed ev-
in her sleep Rowena. had been re-
nding herself that she must be very
tient with Peter for a few days, as
was apt to be just the least bit
the world cross about the state of
airs.
V(rithin atn hour they were hurling
e dust of Cheyenne from the wheels

t outpost of the city lay buried in
past Peter pulled up to a grind --

"I'm not your wife," stormed Ro-

""No, thank God,"
""I'm—I just happen to be married
to you—by accident. A—a sort of de-
tour."
""Worse luck," growled Peter,
Rowena opened the door and
sprang out,
""What are you going to do? Walk
to Yellowstone?"
""I am going," said Rowena coldly,
"to retire to qty rumble scat,"
their faces:
"They must be having showers in
the mountains," said Peter. i
But Rowena, deep in a painful sleep
of complete exhaustion, did not an -
swill..
It was more than showers they
were having in the mountains—it was
cloudbursts, one after the other in
torrential downpour, and in' less time
than it took' for the cooling breeze
to sweep down the plain with refresh-
ment for their tired faces, every dry
creek bed and parched arroyo` that
led from the' hot mountains to the
burning plains was flooded with rush-
ing water from the heights.
He' guided the little roadster along
the yellow mesa road toward another
of the narrow rocky gorges through
which they had. • "been passing 'at in-
tervals all day long. The roar in his
ears grew louder, closer. Suddenly
it sounded ominous and threatening.
Peter looked to the west and was
amazed to see a solid wall of water
nearly as high as the car sweeping
down the little canyon.
Instinctively his foot pressed the
accelerator. The roaring wall of wa-
ter was close but the arroyo itself
was closer—a scant few feet away—
and in a few minutes the onrushing
river' would render it impassable for
cars. The car leaped forward down
the steep slope e o into the arroyo. But
P P y
!the hungry water,'as if jealous of
this boldness, roared down upon
them. The car swung powerless: be-
neath his hand, slid away from the.
road and the river tossed it lightly
down -stream and drove it securely
into a crevice among the rocks.
Rowena, suddenly aroused from:
her exhausted sleep, had started , up
in terror at sight and sound of the
torrential river bearing down upon
them. Prompted by an lunate im-
pulse she struggled quickly up to the
seat of the rumble, intending to jump,
but the car was flung violently from
beneath her and cheated of her inse-
cure foothold she fell headlong, face
downward, in the icy water.
Peter, stunned by the unexpected
onslaught of water, vas startled, to
action at sight of Rowena whipped
helpless against the rocks by the ir-
resistible flood.
"You little fool—what did yon
jump for?" he shouted, but even as
he spoke he was' out of the car and
iri less than a moment had her firmly
in, his arm. Slowly hie drew her back.
until they had the stipport of the car
behind there' against the cold. pres-
sure of the water.
""I -didn't!"- she shouted as soon as
she recovered her breath. "Fell!"
"Sorry!" roared Peter regretfully,
'My fault! ' Shouldn't have tried it!
—No good racing a river!"
"Cheerio" comforted Rowena loud-
ly,: ""You nearly made it!"
Other ears pulled up beside the
new-born river, and the occupants
ent their willing assistance in get-
ing Peter and Rowena safely up on
hor'e, Arid Peter, against the advice
of the tourists and the frightened or-
ders of Rowena, went immediately
acts to the car for their bags,
"All the' clothes we've got," he ex-
plained cheerfully.: "They're irnpor-
ant "
T'ortunately the bags were not yet
oaked through and except for a few
tildes on top the contents were dry.
Rowena and Peter,: soaking wet; hur-
iedly got out dry clothes and then
paused abruptly, regarding both the
rowd and each other with timorous
esitaney.
"I'll have my tent up in a jiffy,"
aid a big red-faced Kansas farmer
ith loud kindliness,' "River'll be
own by morning, but we'll all have
to pitch camp here to -eight. Give a
hand there, youngster,"
And before he had finished an-
nouticing his kind intentions' he had
raised a ditninutive tent and extended
itsh.Zsspitaiity, to the dripping `pair.
"Key to the city,' lady and gent,"
he .said with a great laugh.

Teter• tirade a hasty motion to Ro-
wena who slipped quickly inside and
dropped the flap:
"Your wife, I take it," said the red-
faced Kansan with a puzzled. air.
"Yes," said Peter, . ":taut—the tent
isrt't so very big -i -and we're both so
terribly wet—and besides—I want to
have another look at the car. I don't
want it carried off down the canyon,"
"Don't you worry about that car,
brother.' That there car is put for
keeps. At least till the river goes
down."
Other cars pulled up and their oc-
cupants joined the enforced cape on
the river bank, They put up tenth
and staked out claims here and there,
Childrenwereset
to therm stones
gathering
and sticks for a fireplace.
All together they ate impromptu
supper an the plains, sitting in a clus-
ter of friendly groups about the fire,
and afterwards as the darkness fell
and the stars ,lit the black sky over
the black praiie, they gathered closer
and talked. Some sang, and the men
smoked. And presently by twos or.
by families they crept away to their
separate camps for the night:
"Here's an old mattress you can
use," said the Kansas farmer, tossing
it. across to Peter. "We've got an-
other one. It' not very big but you
arenot a very big family."
(Continued Next week;)
Apple Market and Cold Storage..
Apple growers of Ontario expect
to invade the British market this sea-
son on a record scale, with the pros-
pect of 800 carloads going to the Old.
Country. The English apple crop is
light and the crop from Virginia,
Ontario's chief competitor, will be be-
low normal. Hon. Thomas L. Ken-
nedy is confident of the success of
Ontario growers in this regard and
points out that the apple export trade
here is becoming standardized. "We
have worked out a brand •to be plac-
ed on every box of apples handled by
the Central Packers' Association. ' It
is the `Big Oh' brand and every ap-
ple in a box bearing this brapd is
guaranteed to be in perfect condition.
Independent growers will not be al-
lowed to use this brand, but as the
majority of growers are or will be
members of the association, it means
that the big majority going overseas
will bear this trademark.
The Minister further points out the
cold storage facilities which the Gov-
ernment is assisting in providing for
the proper storage of fruits, will
strengthen
Ontario's hold on over-
seas markets. Five new cold storage
plants are either under way or being j
planned, The addition to the Nor-
folk plant will double its present ca-
paeity and take care of the expected
crop of 100,000 barrels in that dis-
trlct, Prince Edward growers are el.,
ectirrg a new Plant at Piston, where
fruit will be graded, precooled and
stored, A growers' organization has.
been formed and will handle all sorts
of supplies like fertilizers, insecti-
cides, barrels, as well as taking full
charge of the fruit marketing end.
The new plant at Thornbury in the
,Georgian Bay district, to replace the
ordinary storage destroyed by fire
last winter, is also under way. Plans
are under Way ,for another plant'at
Trenton, in the Eastern Ontario ap-
ple growing district, while the Thed-
ford celery growers in Lambton ex-
pect to have contracts signed for
their plant soon. In addition there
are several older plants in operation
such as those at St. Catharines . and
at Brighton. Ontario should be fair-
ly wen served with pre -cooling and
cold storage facilities this fall.
A Remarkable > Orchard
A report from Chatham tells of a
20 -year-old cherry tree that hasjust
borne a crop of 26 baskets of fruit.
Down in Norfolk County in one of
1 the oldest and most noted orchards
! in that district, known as the Mc-
IInally farm, there is a 24 -year-old
1 tree that will yield this year approxi-
niately 100 six -quart baskets of cher-
ries. There are hundreds of other
trees in the Mclnally orchard that
will bear almost as prolifically. In
all, the orchard has about 1,500 trees.
They were planted 24 years ago in a
gravel soil and have been carefully
husbanded, thoroughly sprayed and
cultivated. They include light and
dark Bigarreau cherries, Windsor,
Montmorency'\and' Governor Wood,
The orchard will this year yield be-
tween five and six thousand baskets
which are marketed in Ontario and
Quebec cities. Last year some of
these fine cherries brought as high
as • $1.75 a .basket. The trees are
fairly groaning under the exception-
ally heavy yield, and every twig has
its clusters, in factsome of the trees
give the impression; of a solid mass
of cherries. They are entirely free
from blight and pets, although the
sultry weather of early July: caused
some dry rot in, the fruit.
The McInally farm has been in the
family for one hundred years. It is.
one of the finest in the district, com-
prising 225 acres devoted to small.
fruits, orchards ' and grains. Over
60,000 boxes of strawberries were ta-
ken from 15 acres this summer. The
Thursday, July 23rd, I93/
owners arc not complaining about the
poor prices for farm products. Their
example shows that a good farm, pro-
perly conducted and with a variety of
crops, it still a profitable enterprise.
The Real Cost Factor
In order to reduce production costs
of live stook and live stock products
high acre yields of home-grown feeds
are the prune requisite, animal hue-
bandry experts assert. One must
measurethe milk production ofthe
herd not as so many pounds per cow,
but per acre of land that grew the
crops that in turn fed the herd. Only
then will they exist in proper 'rely;..
tionship, This means ;thorough cu'
vation
and efficient'
a
farm practice
better than ever before. •

NOT so long ago a famous personage advised the public
"to spend." , Another equally noted man retorted with
the advice "save." Perhaps both were right, but the
better policy would seem to be "spend wisely in order to
save."
Spending wisely simply means to use your money for
those things that you need, as the condition of your purse,
may warrant—and at the same time, to buy only those ar-
ticles that have actually proved their quality and worth.
By purchasing merchandise that gives the greatest value
for the money, you secure the longest service and so have
the price of a repurchase.
Thrift is a virtue, but so is wise investment The ad-
vertising in this paper is a reliable guide as to where and
when to get the utmost value for your money.
Advertising is a safe and trustworthy guide to sound in-
vestment. It has proved its reliability. You buy adver-
tised wares every day --consciously or unconsciously.
You buy by name, because you know that the advertised
article has served you well in the past, and will continue to
do so in the future.
