Dvoracek’s Report D. C. Dvoracek, county agent, gave a most interesting report of the work of his office and emphasised the need | of tackling one project at a time in | order that satisfactory headway be | made. In his report, he submitted an elobarate program, from which a committee will chose the major pro- jects for development during the coming year. The program suggested the follow- ing: 1. Marketing—under which head comes dairying, livestock, clover seed, wool, fuel and wood products and co-operative buying. 2. Better livestock—under which comes ‘pure bred sires, better cows, testing,, ‘gradinz, financing, ‘better poultry, more and better hogs, more and hetter sheep, etc. 3. Better Feeding—under which comes kind of feeds, silos, feed schools’ and soil -testing. 4. Land clearing—under which comes cqiupment, and method of more efficient clearing, picric acid, ete. 5. Organization—covering social leaders, programs for practices, schools and material. 6. Home demonstration. 7. Boys’ and Girls’ clubs. Washburn’s Report Edson Washburn gave his report this morning and used picture slides to-shew the work that has been ac- complished in the land clearing de- partment. The apst year 9,600 acres have bcen . brushed, 6,580 acres stumped; 7,560 acres broken and 2,800 acres seeded to grass. There were 15,000 acres put on an earning basis all told. About 40,- 000 pounds each of picric acid and dynamite were furnished by the as- sociation at a saving to the farmers of 10 cents a pound. In addition to this, dealers sold about 50,000 pounds of dynamite. “PROPOSES ALLIED DEBTS BE DEVOTED TO SCHOOLS (Continued from page 1) sums owed, even if they pay the in- terest. Dr. Finley’s proposal recalls the Boxer Indemnity Fund, which, in- stead of being turned back into the Treasury of the United States, has been used ever since the Boxer up- rising to educate sclected Chinese students in American schools and uni- versities, with the result of spreading the gospel of western civilization and ideals throughout China. Just how much this generous use of this fund has been responsible for the awaken- ing of China, it is not possible to say, but it is unquestionably very lurge. Should it be possible to work out a practical plan by which Dr. Fin- ley’s proposal could be put into ef- fect, the cause of education and Americanization would receive an impotus such as it has never had. The interest payments of allied debts would doubtless reach the huge sum of five hundred millions yearly, which devoted to the children of the world, would have an effect on the next generation impossible to calculate.

The sereams of the fear-crazed watchers 1+ were heard a quarter of a mile away i last_pight as each carload - of the . dead reached the surface. The explosion was caused by an electric spark igniting the mine dust. Sheets ot flame swept the mine and cut off the exit. , The first 'of the entombed men, » 125 blackened workers, came out of ‘ the shaft immediately after the blaze ; and within two hours many other terrified faces appeared.

Most of the time Bonar Law spoke in a modulated voice with an air of utmost candor and frankness. He has an exceedingly engaging person- ality and I easily understood the | reason for his leadership of the con- servative party and the personal loy- alty of his followers. Bonar Law displayed interest in American affairs and showed the et0-0st understanding of America’s political and economic questions. Uespite the rigor of his campaign, he appears to have retained the full vig- or of his strength. I spoke of the problems he is facing and the rumors that his health is weakening. “QOur relations with our kinsfolk across the Atlantic involves'something more than bargaining,” the British Premier declared in his statement to the United Press.

LOCAL RADIO STATIONS REPORT FINE PROGRAMS Local radio receciving stations re- port exceptionally good programs of late, the cold, clear weather assist- ing greatly in receiving the various broadcasted programs in fine shape. With even colder weather due soon, 1t is expected that interest will be in- creased even more than it has been during the fall. Among the most important broad- casting stations which are heard here Tegularly are Davenport, Iowa, Minn- eapolis; the Sweeny Auto School at Kansas City; Louisville, Ky., Fort Worth, Texas; Denver, Colorado; St. Mo., Cincinnatti, Ohio; Atlan- ta, Ga., The Manitoba Free Press at Winnipeg; the Detroit News, at De- troit, Mich; Schenectady, N. Y.; sev- eral of these cities having more than one broadecasting station. Baudette, in the north end of Bel- trami county, also has a broadcast- ing station and is heard here fre- quently. A number of remote sta- tions have been heard by several of the local receiving stations, it is re- ported, although not regularly. ANNUAL TURKEY SUPPER _ VERY DECIDED SUCCESS Three hundred and ninety-seven | pounds of turkey had- disappeared at ! the close of the annual turkey sup- | per served by the men of the Pres- | byterian church Wednesday evening | in the church basement. This sup- per was attended by 500 persons, a larger number than ever before, but the men gave cxcellent service | throughout the entifé serving and it | was apparent that every person who attended was well catisfied with the menu and the service given. Supper | was served from 5 to 8 o’clock, and a number were turned away just be- fore the closing hour because of lack of food. During the supper, a five-piece or- chestra, composed of Fletcher Grim- oldby, Joe Forrester Miss Elizabeth Vavrosky, Percy Riggs and Walter Smith, gave an excellent program, adding much to the enjoyment of those attending the supper. Old Flour Makes Best Bread. Flour (according to scientists) Im- proves with age, the older flour pro- ducing a larger and finer loaf. Freshly milled flours do not produce the best of which they are capable. A great advance was made in the milling art by the introduction of a method for treating flour in the mill whereby such freshly milled flour at once took on the properties of a properly aged flour, so that the flour could then go to the consumer in condition to render at once Its highest baking value. This state of affairs is brought about in flour by treating it with’chlorine, and the gen- eral result I known as “maturing”—. 1. e, the general effect of “maturing” flour—a whitening * effect; “‘together with greatly improved baking qualities.

At the far corner of the field Yaqul Balted, and slowly the line of white, | horses merged into a comwdact mass. Yaqul slipped out of his saddle. He ran his hand over Diablo’s nose and spoke low, and repeated this action for each of the other horses. Gale had long ceased to question the strange Indian’s behavior. There was no explaining or understanding many ot his maneuvers. But the resuits of them were always thought-provoking. Gale had never seen horses stand so silently as in this instance; no stamp —no champ of bit—no toss of head— no shake of saddle or pack—no heave or snort! It seemed they had become imbued with the spirit of the Indian. Yaqul moved away into the shadows as noiselessly as if he were one of them. The darkness swallowed him. He had taken a direction parallel with the trail. Gale wondered if Yaqui meant to try to lead his string of horses by the rebel sentinels. The Indian appeared as he had van- ished. He might have been part of the shadows. But he was there. He started off down the trail leading Diablo. Again the white line stretched slowly out. Gale fell in behind. Peer- ing low with keen eyes, he made out three objects—a white sombrero, a blanket and a Mexican lying face down. The Yaqui had stolen upon this sentinel like a silent wind of death. Once under the dark lee of the river bank Yaqui caused another halt, and he disappeared as before. Moments passed. The horses held heads up, looked toward the glimmering camp- fires and listened. Gale thrilled with the meaning of it all—the night—the silence—the flight—and the wonderful Indian stealing with the slow inev- itableness of doom upon another sen- tinel. Suddenly the Indian stalked out of the gloom. He mounted Diablo and headed across the river. Once more the line of moving white shadows stretched out. Gale peered sharply along the trail, and, presumably, on the pale sand under a cactus, there lay a blanketed form, prone, out- stretched, a carbine clutched in one hand, a cigarette, still burning, in the other. The cavalcade of white horses passed within five hundred yards of campfires, around which dark forms moved In plain sight. The lights dis- appeared from time to time, grew dimmer, more flickering, and at last they vanished altogether. Belding’s fleet and tireless steeds were out in front; the desert opened ahead wide, dark, vast. Rojas anc his rebels were behind, eating, drinking, careless. The somber heart. He held now an unquenchable faith In the Yaqui. Belding would be listening back there along the river. He would know of the escape. He would tell Nell, and then hide her safely. As Gale had accepted a strange and - fatalistic foreshadowing of tofl, blood and agony in this desert journey, so he believed in Mercedes ultimate freedom and happiness, and his own return to the girl who had grown dearer than life. + e e s s s s A cold, gray dawn was fleelng be- fore a rosy sun when Yaqui halted the march at Papago well. The horses were ‘taken to water, then led down the arroyo Into the grass. Here packs were slipped, saddles removed. Jim Lash remarked how cleverly they had fooled the rebels. “Shore they'll be comin’ along,” re- plied Ladd. They built a fire, cooked and ate. The Yaqul spoke only one word: “Sleep.” Blankets were spread. Mer- cedes dropped into a deep slumber, her head on Thorne’s shoulder. Ex- citement kept Thorne awake. The two rangers:‘dozed besidée the fire. Gale shared the Yaqul's wateh. At the end of three hours the rangers grew active, Mercedes was -fiwak- ened; and soon the party faced west- ward, their long shadows moving be- fore them. Yaqui led with Blanco Diablo in a long, easy lope. ~The heated air lifted, and incoming' cur- rents from the west swept low: and ‘hard over the barren earth. ‘In the distance, all around the horizon, aceu- mulations of dust seemed like ranging, mushrooming yellow clouds. Yaqul was the only one of the fu- gitives who never looked back. Gale- had a conviction that when Yaqui gazed back toward the well and the shining plain beyond, there would he reason for it. But when the sun lost its heat and the wind dled dswn Yaqui took long and careful surveys west- ward from the hish points on the trail. Sunset wus not far off, and there In a bare, spotted valley lay Coyote tanks, the only waterhole be- tween Papago well and the Sonosta DESERT GOLD shadow lifted from Gale's| oasls. Gale used his glass, told Yaqul there was no smoke, no sign of life; still the Indian fixed his falcon eyes on distant spots and looked long. No further advance was undertaken. The Yaqui headed south and traveled slowly, climbing to the brow of a bold height of weathered mesa. There he sat his horse and waited. No one questioned him. The rangers dis- mounted to stretch their legs, and Mercedes was lifted to a rock, where ; she rested. Thorne had gradually vielded to the desert’s influence for silence. He spoke once or twice to Gale, and occasionally whispered to Mercedes. Gale fanciel his friend would soon learn that necessary sneech in desert travel meant a few greetings, a few words to make real {. the fact of human companionship, a few short, terse terms. for the busi- ness of the day or night, and perhaps a stern order or a sait call to a horse. The sun went down, and the golden, rosy veils turned to blue and shaded darker till twilight was there in the valley. Darkness approached, and the clear peaks faded. The horses stamped to be on the move. “Malo!” exclaimed the Yaqui. He did not point with arm, but his falcon head was outstretched, and his plercing eyes gazed at the blurring spot which marked the location of Coyote tanks. “Jim, can you see anything?” asked Ladd. “Nope, but I reckon he ¢an.” Then Ladd sudsdenly ziraightened up, turned to his horse, and muttered low under his breath. “I reckon so,” said Lash, and for once his easy, good-natured tone was not in evidence. His voice was| barsh. * Gale’s eyes, keen as they were, were last of the rargers to see tiny needle- points of light just faintly perceptible in the blacknedd: “Laddy! - CAinpfires?” quickly. “Shore’s you're born, my boy.” “How many?” Ladd did not reply; but Yaqui held up his hand, his fingers wide. Five campfires! A strong force of rebels or raiders or some other desert troop was camping at Coyote tanks. Yaqui sat his horse for a moment motionless as stone, his dark face im- mutable and impassive. Then he stretched his right arm In the direc- tion of No Name mountains, now los- ing their last faint traces of the after- glow, and he shook his head. He made the ‘same impressive gesture toward the Sonoyta oasis with the same somber negation. Thereupon he turned Diablo's head to the south and started down the slope. HIs manner had been decisive, even stern. Lash did not question it, nor did Ladd. Both rangers hesitated, however, and showed a strange, almost a sullen reluctance which Gale had never seen in them before. Ralders were one thing, Rojas was another; Camino del Diablo still another; but that vast and desolate and unwatered waste of cactus and lava, the Sonora desert, might appall the stoutest heart. Gale felt his own sink—felt himself flinch. “Oh, where Is he going?” cried Mer- cedes. Her poignant voice seemed to break a spell. “Shore, lady, Yaquil's goin’ home,” replied Ladd. gently. “An’ conslderin” our troubles; I reckon we ought to thank God he knows tbe way."” They mounted and rode down the slope toward the darkening south. Not until night travel was obstruct- ed by a wall of cactus did the Indian halt to make a dry camp. Water and grass for the horses and fire to cook by were not to be had. Mercedes bore up surprisingly; but she fell asleep almost the instant her thirst had been allayed. Thorne lald her upon a blan- ket and covered her. The men ate and drank. Gale lay down weary of limb and eye. He heard the soft thump of hoofs, the sough of wind in the cactus—then no more. Day dawned witll the fugitives In the saddle. | A picketed wall of cac- tus hedged, them In, yet the Yaqui made a tortuous.path, that, zigzag as it might, inf-the main always headed south..” & (Continued In Next Issue) LITTLE TURTLE Mrs. Jeng Nelson is spending a few days visiting friends in Bemidji.
