(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Straws Point the Wind ‘Anyone who may wonder what an- peal the Republican party will make to agriculture in the presidential campaign of 1932 can get more than a hint by reviewing the press releases of the agricultural advisory council of the Republican national commit- tee with headquarters at Des Moines, Towa. The full name of the organiza- tion is not printed on envelopes seni out by’ it but it is contained on the letterheads. The “boss” of the effort to outline the party's relations--or at least its quasi-relations—to agri- culture is Senator .L. J. Dickinson, one of the G. O. P. stalwarts from the farming sates and author of considerable , f legislation. A recent statement by the commit- tee condemned in ringing terms ihe practice of short-selling on the lead- ing grain and produce markets as one against the farmer's interests. No ss-called radical could have howled louder and few would have cared to Protest longer than did this branch of the Republican national organiza-/ tion. | In one of its “releases” the com-| mittee attacked Thomas M. Howe!l.; who was credited with engineering the squeeze which sent July corn up; to 72 cents a bushel at Chicago. He! was used as a “horrible example” of| the effects of short-selling but Howell! Promptly replied that the committee; had its wires crossed. He explained) that he was “long” rather than “short” on corn. S In ® subsequent story the commit-| tee apologized to Mr. Howell and} then said: “We have no desire to harm any individual but we do believe that ‘short selling’ is bad prac- tice and tends to depress prices when used for speculative pur- Poses. We used the July squeeze in corn to illustrate the danger of this practice in its relation to the price of grain.” ! This, along with President Hoover's Tecent broadside against “short-sell-' ers” would seem to point the way for} the Repubician party's offer to agri- culture for the 1932 campaign. To the established grain trade, which has long supported the party and the established order of grain- marketing, such action will come as a serious blow, but 1932 is a campaign year and men who are responsible for coralling the farm vote must have something to offer. If it seems trifle “Red” in view of the party's attitude of the past, the excuse can. be made that campaign times are always stressful. ‘Whatever the attitude of the party, it is to be hoped, in the interests of honesty and clarity of issues, that its position will be delirieated in its' Platform. North Dakotans have not forgotten the speeches of Senator Smith W. Brookhart, another Iowan and admittedly a radical, made in support of Hoover in this area in the last campaign. The light of subsequent events; would make it seem that Brookhart’s statements as to the position of Mr: Commendable Action ‘Three of the leading news services of the nation, The Associated Press, United Press and International .News Service, have agreed to cooperate with the postoffice department in freeing the mails of unlawful matter concerning sweepstakes lotteries.

The law also requires us to sub- ject to prosecution persons de- positing or causing to be de- posited in the mails, newspapers in which such matter appears. “The action of these national and international news gathering associations is to be commended. It is notice on their part that the newspapers they serve will not hereafter be supplied with in- formation regarding the opera- tion of foreign sweepstakes, and carries the hope that such in- formation will not be obtained from any other source, reliable or otherwise, and attempted to he printed. “Already a number of arrests have been made of persons in this country operating what purported to be foreign sweepstakes, or acting as agents thereof. “The large number of news- papers which have editorially ex- pressed their views against this lottery traffic since the post- office department started its re- cent campaign are also to be commended for their coopera- tion.” Newspapers are rigidly controlled matter they may publish concerning gambling or various schemes of chance. They are prohibited from advertising drawings or guessing con- tests for which prizes are given, In every prize event advertised or com- mented upon, the publisher must be sure that there is an element of skill involved and that prizes are to be; awarded for merit and not on the! mere turn of fortune’s wheel. Unfortunately, the federal govern-} ment has not seen fit to impose upon} radio stations the same prohibitions. They can and do accept advertising which is little short of lottery and jsome of it is bold and bald lottery.

After an intensive study of the epidemic of 1918-19 and of 1928-29, the United States Public Health Service finds a striking dif- ference in age incidence in the two epidemics but it is impossible to ex- plain their vagaries. ities are found in the age groups af- fected, the differences are more strik- ing than the coincidences. For instance, pneumonia prevalence and the death rate were much higher in 1918-19 than in 1928-29, but the Percentage of the cases that’ were fatal was not greatly different in the two epidemics. Another interesting conclusion re- sulted from the study. That is that the death rate from the prevalence of pneumonia was higher in the epidemic of 1918-19 among the young adults.

These two who had never before seen one another were talking like old acquaintances, The girl raised her head and the young man set to marveling that eyes so dark hued could be blue. eee HE straightened, frowning slight- ly. Couldn’t she just for one moment Jook at him as though she really saw him? Easily he sald, “Look here, let We'll get away from this crowd and then we can decide what to do with the pup.” The smile died in the girl’s eyes. She shook her head. “No, thank you. I’'l—I'll manage some way—” “Oh, but that's not fair! I feel in duty bound to keep tab on that mongrel’s future welfare.” She relented faintly. “I'm afraid you'll have to trust me about that. Anyhow I think the first thing to do is try to find his owner, Tomor- tow T'll advertise.” “Advertise? For that—?”" He pointed contemptuously to ward the pup. There was disbelief, laughter in his voice. The girl’s chin raised. “Yes,” she said, “and until I find his owner along all right.” She sought his eyes for an instant, hesitated and then added, “Good night,” as she turned and started northward. She had not gone half a dozen steps when the youth was beside her. He touched her arm. lot of things I want to talk to you about. Didn’t I meet you one eve ning at—at the Marigold? No, that’s not it.

Into the wide blue eyes that had seemed so guileless look of swift hostility, followed ‘in- stantly by a show of cool indiffer- ence. The transformation was star- tling. It was something that never should have been seen on the face of one so young. But the youth took no notice. “If you won't let me take you to din- ner,” he went on, “how about to- morrow? Where can I telephone you?” He had pulled ® memoran- dum book and pencil from his vest “Say,” he grinned boyish- ly, “T don't remember how to spell your name.

He was smiling. “I was beginning to think I'd missed you,” he sald. “Here, let me take care of that—” One hand dug into a trousers pocket and came forth with a collection of coins. He had settled the fare and turned about before he noticed the small dog. The girl caught his glance. “Isn’t he cute?” she said eagerly. “Oh, Bob, the poor little fellow was near- ly killed! Right out in the middle of Broad street he was. A truck almost ran over him. Frightened to death, too! But he’s over that now. See? Look at that little tall waggle, will you?” They both laughed. “So that’s what kept you!” Bob Farrell exclaimed. “Well, I think the pup got a lucky break. What are going going to do with him?” “Keep him—until I can find a better home for him.” “Be sort of a nuisance, he?” : “I can manage. Besides, 1 couldn't leave him there to be killed!” “No. I suppose not. Well—the situation calls for action.” ~ CHAPTER 1A” y eed action Bob Farrell had in mind went into effect forthwith. There was a quick visit to the cor- ner five and ten store where Far- rell purchased the smallest dog col- Jar on the counter and then a leash. It was necessary to punch an ad- ditional hole into the collar before it could be fastened around the puppy’s neck. Once secure, they returned to the restaurant before which the taxicab had halted. Five minutes later the girl and young man faced each other across a candlelighted table. The puppy had curled into a comfortable ball at their feet. . won't THE ‘waitress handed them a card and departed. Farrell studied the menu. There was nothing whatever about this young man to suggest the youth who had aided Norma in the dog’s rescue. Bob Farrell was not so tall as the other, squarely built yet not with excess poundage. His tweed business’ _,¢lothes made no pretense at ele- gant tailoring. The suit was as casual, probably as inexpensive as! Norma Kent's. i Tonight Norma chose the table d’hote dinner and Farrell seconded. her selection. As the waitress turned away after. writing the order! Norma said: “How long has it been since we found this place, Bob? I like tt! “more every time we come.” “Why, don’t you remember? It was that Saturday last June when it rained and we spent almost the whole afternoon in the second hand. book stores up the street, We came’ in here to get out of the storm.” “Ot course, How could 1 have forgotten!” She smiled at him, The blue eyes were wide and innocent again. Jp the flattering candlelight, Norma Kest presented an attrac- tive picture. Was no doubt that the youth across the table was aware of this, For nearly a year Bob _ Farrelt and Norma had been spend- ing occasional evenings together, “hunting out new dining places, dropping into the big movie palaces to see their. favorite stare, some- times taking’ long bus rides, Dur- ing the summer these expeditions had increased. Now in September, scarcely a week passed but Norma and Bob spent at least two evenings together, They. read the same books, usually liked the same plays.’ Norma, who spent five and one-half “days each week at dictation, typing and the complex duties of a vate secretary in the offices Brooks, Welliver and neys at law, felt a high Bob Farrell's a. member of the ber of two veers) wTFY ese} sm) year. standing and employed by the legal firm of Kemper and Kemper. Norma wasn’t in love with Bob. Oh, dear, no! Whenever she felt a conversation was drifting toward the perilous rocks of roinance she brought it back abruptly to practi cal subjects, That tendency to- ward the romantic was the flaw in what had otherwise been friendship trom Norma’ She was 20 years old, very sure that love and marriage were to play no part in her own life, For others if they wished. For herself, no thank you!, eeoe T= is how mattérs stood that September evening when Bob Farrell and Norma Kent dined in the little restaurant, the mongrel puppy sleeping contentedly on the floor beneath the table, Bob, dur- ing the 12 months’ acquaintance- ship, had twice asked Norma to marry him and had both tines been refused. He asked for the full story of the dog’s resoue, The girl told it, ‘king the barest mention of the’ stranger who had braved the rush of traffic to bring the pup to safety. Farrell began to talk of other things. He mentioned Norma's roommate, Obristine Saunders, and was told that “Chris” was working lgte that evening. Thé two girle shared what was known as a “one room apartment” in a section re moved by 30 minutes’ street car ride from the business district. Two minute creases appeared in Norma Kent's forehead as they spoke of her roommate. “You kuow, Bob,” she confided, “I’m worried about Chris.” “Why? What's the trouble?” “Oh, nothing—only, . well—} guess it's just nothing.” Though she said no more the troubled look remained in the girl's eyes. “Don't you worry about Chris,” Farrell said heartily. “That girl has a level head if I ever saw one.” ‘They were having the coffee now and Farrell bad lighted « cigaret. He blew a winding wreath of smoke, withdrew the cigaret from his lips and stared moodily at the slowing tip. The silence became awkward. Norma felt she should make conversation, “Summer's neasly over,” she said, “I hate to have it end. We've “Really mean that?” “Of coutse I do, It’s been more, fun than any summer since I've been in Marlboro and that's—let’s see—almost four years.” She thought for a moment the young man was not Hstening and looked at him in surprise, He bad heard though beeatine after « brief pause Farrell said, “You've enjoyed the places we've gone, things we've seen, It's—me you don’t care much isn’t it?” He raised his head, was eying her intently. “Bob Farrell, how can you talk ‘Uke that!” “Ob, it’s true all right, Why not agmit it?” i “But I do care about you, you know I do!” : “You don’t nedd to say thet.

Why cant we go ou as we have been, having good times together, forgetting such serious things as marriage? Why can’t 'we be awfully good friends the way we have been and not have these arguments?” “You—want it like that, do you?” “Oh, yes!” the girl assured him eagerly, “Don’t you understand, ‘Bob, that I'm awfully fond of you but I don’t want to marry anyone? Don’t you see how I feel?” “Yes,” said the young man. guess I do.” Somehow after that no matter how Norma tried to turn the con- versation along lighter paths it could not be done, The young man did not sulk. He was as attentive as usual but the pleasure had gone from the occasion. A few vivacious rallies and Norma gave up the effort. She was glad there was no movie on the evening’s program. ‘They left the restaurant shortly, jostled their way to a car stop and boarded an outgoing car. Months before it had been agreed that such economiés were to be observed when the two were together. The clangor of the car made conversation dif- cult, Farrell spoke only once or twice and the girl welcomed the silence. 4 eee At the door of the apartment she asked if he would come up and suspected his mumbled excuses for declining were impromptu. Norma climbed the two flights of stairs, fumbled for her key. and slipped it into the lock. The door opéned, revéaling’ a large squase room in which a lamp was burn- ing. There was no one in sight. Norma hastily dropped the puppy in a worn, overstuffed chair.
