AMONG 10,093 Two Veterinarians Busy Seek- ing Reactors in McKen- zie Herds Testing of cattle for tuberculosis has made rapid progress n McKenzie county. Since October 1, 1928, when testing was started, 24 townships have been covered. These include 782 herds, containing 10.093 cattle. Of these, 66 head in 41 herds reacted to the test and were shipped out of the county. Virtually all the testing in this county up to date has been done by Dr. A. J. Matter. This week Dr. C.

DAKOTA COUNTY ON INSURANCE PLAN} JOINS MONTANA FAIR Does Not Sanction Company McKenzie Will Have Exhibits at From Arizona With Mutu- al Benefit Assessing Sidney, Richland County, Next September Warning against purchasing al-| Watford City, May 20.—A cordial leged insurance policies from the Pos- tal Mutual Benefit corporation of Phoenix, Ariz., was issued here, today, by E. O. Bailey, secretary of the state securities commission. Bailey said the company is using the mails in an attempt to sell a con- tract, the face of which is so worded that it appears to be an insurance policy. The contract is misleading, Bailey | said, since the company is not under the jurisdiction of any insurance de- partment and sets up no reserve fund. The result, he <aid, is that the policy is of little or no value and makes it posible for the company to go out of business whenever it desires. Also, he said, there appears to be no limit to the number of times they could levy assessments. of $5.50 upon its members. If the contract holder failed to pay his assessment, the con- tract would be canceled, Bailey said. Since the company is operating through the mails it does not have to have a permit from the state secur- ities commission, Bailey said. If the state commission did have jurisdic- tion, he said, the company would be barred from doing business in North Dakota because of the nature of the contract which it is attempting to sell. Circular on Garden Making Now Revised There is no piece of ground on the farm which can compare with the garden as a source of profitable re- turns for the labor expended, ac- {cording to A, F. Yeager, horticultur- ist at the North Dakota Agricultural college, in his revised circular 58, The North Dakota Farm Vegetable Gar- den. Half an acre of garden’ may Produce $150 worth of food. Good health and bank accounts are aug- mented by gardens, and circular 58 tells all about how to raise them. This pamphlet may be had for the asking at the publications depart- ment at the college. WELL wats WRONG UP HERE, AT THis HOoOR 7? WHAT Do YOU WANT 2? inv! itation from the Richland county, Montana, fair board to enter a coun ty exhibit at the Sidney fair, Septem- ber McKenzie 10-13, has been accepted by the county commissioners. Eight counties have been invited to ents er county exhibits at the Richland county fair, and indications are that all $40 will accept. The fair board offers expense money to each county en- tering an exhibit, in addition to the pret miums of $40, $30, $20 and $10 re- spectively, for first, second, third, and fourth prizes. Richland county, itself, will not enter this competition. The commissioners of McKenzie county have left the arrangements of ‘this county exhibit to the county agent and a fairs committee elected by the three farmers clubs at Char- bonneau and Cartwright. The Richland county fair is also of- fering $4,000 of prise money for com- Petition to individual exhibitors from neighboring counties.

Mixed changes in the volume of , business in the ninth federal banking district marked April 1, compared [with April last year, the ‘report. sent put by tho federal reserve bank at Minneapolis shows. The increase was not as large as the increases which have been experienced in earlier months this year as compared with the same months a year ago. Part of the explanation for the smaller increase is undoubtedly the fact that Easter fell in April last year and in March this year. The daily average of check payments at 17 cities combined was 1 per cent smaller in April than in the same month last year. The decrease was ceifined to Minneapolis and Duluth and reflects, in part, the fact that Easter fell in April last year. hogs combin Ing was 6 per cent smaller than the Income from these sources in April last year. Decreases occurred in the cash value of breadwheat, rye und potato mar- ketings, while increases occurred in the income from durum wheat, flax and hogs. The value of dairy prod- ucts sold during March was 17 per cent larger than the value of dairy products sold in the same month last year. The April prices of flax, cattle, calves, hogs, sheep, butter, milk and hens were higher than a year ago. The April prices of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, eggs and potatoes were lower than a year ago. The estimated value of important farm products marketed in the ninth federal reserve district compared by years was: April 1929 April 1928 Bread: wheat. ...$ 6,296,000 $ 7,642,000 + 1,641,000 3,715,000 + 11,161,000 _ 8,706,000 March 1929 March 1928 es tee Dairy products...$22,651,000 $19,340,000 BARGAIN ALFALFA SEED VIOLATES LAW Sample Sold by South Dakota Dealer Found to Be Full of Weed Impurities The following letter was received after a sample of bargain alfalfa seed which was purchased from a South Dakot seed house, had been sent to the pure seed laboratory for a test: Dear Sir: Our record No. 58062, your alfalfa, received through R. C. Powell, county extension agent, con- tains sweet clover 6.9 per cent, a few seeds of pigeon grass and other com- mon weeds, about 7 seeds per ounce of large-seeded dodder. By weight, for- eign seed 86 per cent; trash 2.4 per cent; pure seed 89 per cent. This lot of seed, in its present condition, is illegal for sale or distribution direct to growers for sowing purposes in this state on account of the presence of dodder. We judge that you will not wish to use seed of this sort and rec- the people from whom it was pro- cured.

She fairly begged the operator for her number and it seemed to her ages before she got it. “Send someone up to Miss Judson’s room quick!” she screamed when the hotel answered. “Hluck Connor's there!” The operator waited for no more. Mildred had scarcely ceased speak- ing before she was plugging in for a connection with the manager's of- fice. “Trouble in Miss Judson’s rooms,” reported. “An outside: call just came in that Huck Connor ds there.” The operator had no idea what Huck’s presence in Pamela's suite meant, but she knew what was cx- Mr. Dazel gave swift, brief orders.

Distressed— and strangely happy. They took Pamela home, a nervous wreck, and Mrs. Judson put her to bed. Mr. Judson went to the switch- board operator and learned that it was Mildred who had sent in the warning. “She's been telephoning every five minutes since,” the girl stated. “Call Garland and Grace, Mr. Gar- land's office, and ask Miss Lawrence to come here,” Mr. Judson directed. “Tell her to come to my office.” Mildred came as quickly as a taxi- cab could bring her. She was deathly pale and trembling. What had hap- pened? Stephen—she had a vague idea that he might have had an en- counter with Huck. And Huck was a killer! Her breath was coming in short, Painful gasps when she opened the door to Mr. Judson’s office. Stephen! She barely suppressed the glad cry that sprang to her lips when she saw him there. “Mildred!” He was coming toward her. And he had never looked at her like that before. She thought he was going to take her in his arms, and grew confused. He was Pamela’s—the man Pamela was going to marry. Stephen saw her shrink from him and halted. He reminded himself, with great fear, that he had yet to hear from her own lips what Mr. Judson had told him. “Where is Mr. Judson?” Mildred cried, her cyes wildly searching the room. “He's left us alone,” Stephen said quietly; “so that I may tell you I love you, Mildred.” * * * His voice was humble, beseeching, MONDAY, MAY 20, 1929 ' “Love you?” she murmured softly and thought whimsically that it must amuse the angels to hear him But Mildred was no angel. know,” she said hesitatingly. Stephen swallowed hard. “Maybe | you could find out if I kissed you,” he told her. | Mildred’s eyes grew very soft. “Well?” she whispered. Stephen shook his head. “You'll have to ask me,” he said. “Remem- ber? I kissed you once and prom- ised never to do it again until you asked me.” Mildred put a hand quickly to her lips—and then reached it up to Ste- phen. The other one, too. He drew her up out of the chair, close to him. “Say it,” he said. T don't, kOe OK Mildred lifted her face. “Stephen, T love you.” Stephen didn’t need any more. He kissed her. He kissed her so many times that Mr. Judson had to come in and put @ stop to it. “Pamela?” Mildred asked volumes in the one word. “She knows ... and she's going to give you that traveling bag herself,” Mr. Judson answered. Then, to Ste- about Mr. Mettle’s offer to send you to South America?” “I saw him this morning,” Stephen explained to Mildred. “But mother and Connie!” Mildred exclaimed. “I'll take care of them,” Mr. Judson promised. “And sinte I'm certain you will refuse the reward—they’ve taken Connor's thumbprint—it was he . ...” Here his voice broke com- pletely. Mildred laid a comforting hand on his arm. Presently he smiled. “There's just one thing I must warn you about,” he said; “you must take a peace of- fering to that loyal sister of yours.” He reached into his pocket and brought out both the sapphire neck- lace and the bracelet. “Yours, my dear,” he handed them to Mildred. “But I suggest you give Connie the bracelet. She can wear it at her com- ing out party when she finishes at Bryn Mawr.” THE END LIONS TO REREARSE but there was an cager intensity be- hind it that told Mildred he was hold- ing himself in leash, She stared at him, unable to say a word, “I've been an awful fool,” he said suddenly, “and Mr. Judson found it out. He asked me just one simple question, Mildred, and that settled everything.” He paused, and Mildred waited, her heart pounding like mad. “Please, sit down here and let me tell you all about it,” Stephen urged, but not daring to go nearer her. Mildred moved over and sank weakly into a chair. “What he ask you?” She simply couldn't “keep the question back, though her feminine instinct prompt- a her not to make it too easy for im. Stephen looked at her and she sud- denly wanted to laugh joyously at his small boy air of guilt. “He said to me,” Stephen said, coming closer; “he said to me: ‘young man, do you love Mildred Lawrence?’ And before I knew it I had said yes. So you see, that's the way it was all the time, only I was a fool.” “Oh.” It was @ very little word, but Stephen found encouragement in it. “I know that’s only half of it,” he went on. “There's you. I might not be @ fool any longer, but what good will that do unless I have you? Mil- dred, you aren’t going to spoil it now! Don’t you love me?” Mildred smiled—the smile that comes but once. A call came in from the Grand Even Mr. Jmdson did not against surveillance and he fo be indulgent Halley reported thitt Miss Judson was at the station, waiting for a train. He said there was something pecullar about it and wanted to know if it was all right. “It’s ® kidnaping?’ he was told. “Arrest her companion, but for God's It’s Connor.” “Send some men,” Halley wisely re- quested. jut . Mr. Judson and Stephen insisted upon going. A policernan rode on the running “He's got a gun on her,” Halley told them when they reacined the station. “One of you men gitt on that train and take him as ‘soon as he gets aboard, He'll be off his guard for a minute or two,” the detective in com- mand ordered. “Stay back, Mr. Jud- son, and you, too, Atrattage.” Mr. Judson understood Pamela's and did as he was told, hold- by the arm. Huck was congratulating himself his success. He figured he'd got the breaks.
