Routine business consitutes tae bulk of the present session of the board, which convened here Tuesday but the next meeting, which will also be the annual session, is sure to be <n interesting one with plenty of ad- ditional work to be done. The board !is required to re-district the county at least six months before the next general election, but'it is expected that some definite action will be started at the next session when the hearing is held. FORTY-FOUR EXAMINED AT CHEST CLINIC HERE Out of the 44 persons examined at the chest clinic held Tuesday all day at the offices of Drs. Garlock & Gar- lock, in charge of Dr. R. L. Laney, assisted by Miss Beth MacGregor, Red Cross Community nurse, three were found to be in need of immed- iate attention and will go next week to the Sanatorium at Lake Julia for special care. There were other cases where treatment was sdvised, both medical and surgical. Since only | those who showed symptomg of lung trouble applied for examination, all were cared for Tuesday, and better results obtained.

The owner, | | who 1is* very enthusiastic about her machine, recently was planning a ‘week-end trip. When she began to pack she found that another member of the family had borrowed her trav- eling bag. She was at her wit's end | o solve the difficulty. She must elther | abandon the visit or turn borrower | herself and there was little time left | in which to do the latter. Then she had a brilliant idea, awd the typewriter was removed from its case, set away on the piano and the -necessities for the week-end visit were packed. ‘"’As the \young woman started for the train, case in hand, she admon- ished the ‘only member of the family who had witnessed the, proceedings: “And don’t tell any of the rest that I have my clothes fn 'this. Let’ them think it is the typewriter I am taking, or the next'time I won’t even have the ‘ case to fall back on.” Sows Produce Big Litters. | Sows that are 22 well about ten days before breealag will produce larger litters than if scantily fed at this time.

Belding could not reply to that, but hope revived in him. He had faith in his wife, though he could not lnE the least understand what he imag-| fned was something mystic in her. [ “Years ago when I was searching for guy father I learned many things about this country,” said Mrs. Beld- \ing. “You can never tell how long a man may live in the desert. The fiercest, most terrible and inaccessible places often have their hidden oasis. In his later years my father became a prospector. That was strange to me, for he never cared fof gold or money. I learned that he was_often gone in the desert for weeks, once for months. Then the time came when he never came back. That was years Yefore I reached the southwest border and heard of him. Even then I did not.for long give up hope ‘of his com- ing back. I know now—something tells. me—indeed, it seems his spirit tells me—he was lost. But I don’t have that feeling for Yaqui. and his party. = Yaqui' has .given Rojas. the! slip or\has ambushed him in some trap. Probably that took time and a|. long journey into Sonora.

Nell, who had done little but ' brood and watch the west and take |* violent rides, seemed to. settle into a | waiting patience that was sad, et | serene, Belding, who had been break- | ing, under the strain of worry, recov- | ered himself so that to outward ap- | pearance he was his old self. He alone knew, however, that his humor was foreed, and that the slow burning | wrath he felt for the Chases was flam- | Ing into hate. Belding argued with himself that if Ben Chase and his son, Radford, had | turned out to be big men in other ways than in the power to carry on great enterprises he might have be- come reconciled to tlfem. But the father was greedy, grasping, hard, | cold; the son added to those traits an | overbearing disposition to rule, and he showed a fondness for drink and | cards. ‘These men were developing the valley, to be sure, and a horde of | poor. Mexicans and many Americans were benefiting from that develop- ment ; nevertheless, these Chases were operating in a way which proved they cared only for themselves, Belding went to Casjta with a num- ber of his white thoroughbreds and shipped them to ranchers and horse- breeders in Texas. Then, belng near | the railroad, and having time, he went up to Tucson. There he learned some interesting particulars about _the Chases. They had an office in the city; influential friends in the cap- itol. They were powerful men in the ! rapldly growing finance of the West. They had interested the Southern Pa- cific railroad, and in the near future a branch line was to be constructed from San Felipe to Forlorn River. These detalls of the Chase develop- ment were Insignificant when com- pared to a matter striking close home to Belding. His responsibility, had been subtly attacked. A doubt had been cast upon his capability of exe- cuting the duties of immigration in- spector to the best advantage of the state. Belding divined that this was only an entering wedge. The Chases were bent upon driving him out of Forlorn River; but, perhaps to serve better their own ends, they were pro- ceeding at /leisure. Belding returned home consumed by rage. But he con- trolled it. For the first time in his life he was afrald of himself. He had his wife and Nell to think of ; and the old law of the West had gone for-' ever. “Dad, there's another Rojas round these diggings,” was Nell's remark, after the greetings were over and the usual questions and answers passed. Belding's exclamation was: cut short by-Nell’s laugh. = She was serious with & kind of amused contempt. . Radford Chase!” ow Nell, what the—" roared Beld- | i | ing. “Hush, Dad! Don't swear,” inter- rupted Nell. “I only meant to t‘ense you” “Nell, you may as well tell him and have it over,” said Mrs. Belding, | quietly. “Well, if you weren’t*such a good old blind dad you'd have seen long ago the way Mr. Radford Chase ram | round after me. - At first it was only annoying, and I did not want to add to your worries. Brt tiese two weeks you've been gore l've been more than annoyed. After that time I struck Mr. Chase with my quirt he made all pos- sible efforts to meet me. He did meet me wherever I went. He sent me let- ters Hll I got fired of sending them He followed me until ‘it wes ‘less embarrassing for me to let him walk with me and talk his head off. He ' made'love to 'me. ‘He begged me to marry him. I told him I was al- ready in love and engaged to be mar- ried.: He said that didn’t make any difference. . Then I called him a fool. “Next-time he saw me he said he must explain. He meant I was being true to a man who, everybody on the border knew, had been lost in the desert. . That—that -hurt. Maybe— maybe it’s true. Sometimes it seems terribly true. Since then, of course. I have stayed in the house to avoid baing hurt again. I feel like & poor little rabbit holed by a kound. And I daren’t peep out.” Somehow the thing struck Belding as funny, and he laughéd. He had not had a laugh for so long that it made him feel good. He stopped only at sight of Nell's surprise and pain Then he put his arms around her. “Never mind, dear. I'm an old bear. _Nell, it’s only the old story.

The sheep-killing dog is one of the greatest menaces to th; shecpraising industry in the farming regions, says e United States Department ‘of Agriculture, in Farmers’ Bulletin 1268, Sheep-Killing Dogs, by M.

The sheep industry in this country has had many ups and downs in the last 50 years, and in 1922 there were He Should Be Protected. only 36,000,00 sheep in the sountry 28 compared with 64,000,000 i 1903. I'his is a. dacrease of 43.7 per cent during a period when the population increased st#adily. It is hardly prob- able that dogs are responsible for -| such a redfiction, but, in the opinion of the autitor, there would be many more sheep in a great many farming sectisns if there were more good dog taws backed up by public opinion. The possibility of producing early-matur- ing lambs from a maximum of pastur- age and !nexpenslve roughages, “and the couniry’s meed for an increased supply of meat and wool, he cites as seasons why sheep production should 9e one of the most profitable enter- | Yrises ¢t the farm.
