In many respects, the allot- ment plan was a great test of our democracy. The manner in which the wheat farmer came through is a tribute to his mass citizenship. Wallace listed five factors which operated to discourage accuracy in the allotment applications. They were: 1, Honest inability to recall acre- ages and data of former years. 2. Reliance upon data furnished by county assessors, which very often ‘was inaccurate. 3. Lack of accurate statistics on production in the newer parts of the wheat belt. 4 The feeling that everyone was likely to overestimate and the indi- vidual might just as well fall in line. 5. The pressure of a misery-ridden family and the desire to get as much for them as possible. This estimate seems reasonable enough and it contains some of the most powerful forces which operate on the human mind. Yet the job has been done and in splendid manner. Farmers have done more than put ‘themselves in line for the allotment of money.

Don’t let your difficulty in grasping the figures of the pres- ent double budget system en- large your inferiority complex. Papa Roosevelt himself, while still wrestling with the budget, was confessing: “You can figure it any way you like and make it come out ten billions plus or ten millions minus.” “Anyway,” he explained with a laugh, “that’s my frame of mind right now.” FLOOD OF BOOZE READY Forty million gallons of whisky, stored in Canada, alleged to be four or more years old, is relied upon by the FACA to break present booze prices and confound the bootlegger. Officials privately admit they'll need nearly all of it for our rectifiers and blenders, besides 6,000,000 above- quota gallons recently let in. That's the only large source of American- type whisky. Get-rich-quick ambitions of would- be importers were indicated when FACA counted up and found that ap- Plications for Scotch whisky imports ‘would have brought in 100 times more Scotch than arrived in any pre-pro- aibition year. The glut would have been ridiculous. Few realize it yet, but any citizen privately may import any amount of wines and liquors—without a permit— which he can convince customs of- ficers is for his personal use.

Get in here with us!” “Don't have any gun!” Ralph called over his shoulder. “Got to get gun!” “Let it go. They'll cut you off!” But Ralph courageously went on. Flinging themselves behind the . Tock shelter, the two of them turned their rifles toward the canoes to the south. Curt dropped a handful of clips into Paul’s pocket. “Aim low, Paul. Bounce your slugs off the water. Ve can’t hope to hit the men, but we can tear holes through those canoes and sink ‘em.” They emptied their magazines at the six craft. The range was too long for dark shooting, and the moon re- flection was wrong. The canoes came straight on and skimmed into the shallows. Reloading, Curt and Paul/ ¢, blasted into them again, frantically trying to knock them back, One canoe turned broadside and sank, but the two occupants leaped out and splashed-ashore; and the other five canoes drove on in unchecked. Jumping to shelter on the island, the Klosohees began sizzling arrows at the rifle flashes, to cover the land- ing of the other parties. Ralph came running out of the dark with rifle, belt-gun and three cartons of cartridges in his hands. “I got ‘em!” he panted. “Couldn't have helped out if I hadn’t gone and—” His rejoicing ended in an agonized gasp. Within two steps of the barri- cade he sudderly stumbled and flung up his crms. The gun and car tons dropped with a clatter. Pitch- ing forward with all the momentum of his dash, he smashed head-on against a rock, rolled over and lay still. Curt vaulted over the barricade, grabbed him, lifted him into the shelter. “Ralph!” he cried, kneeling down and shaking his limp com- rade. Ralph did not move. And then Curt saw 9 hard-driven arrow pro- truding from his back, and a stream of blood trickling from his mouth. ‘The suddenness of the blow struck Curt-dumb.

I'll handle these.” For the first time Curt noticed that three canoes were skirling in toward the upper tip, At his first shot a figure rose up in the leading canoe and shouted a command. The voice sounded to him like Tenn-Og's. “Dama you!”—the thought flashed through bis mind—“we patched you up and treated you white, when your buddies ran away and left you; and now you're lead- ing men to spear us.

Maybe they’re pull- ing themselves together for the Tush.” Curt bent down beside Nichols again and tried to rouse some sign of life. Ralph still lay motionless, limp and stricken. It was all Curt could do. He straightened up to help Paul watch. “Seen anything of ‘em? “Not a glimpse. I heard a noise down near the tents but saw noth- ing.” Curt sprang over the barricade, secured Ralph's two guns and the cartridges, came back, waited. When the deadlock did break, it broke suddenly. Down at the lower tip, the canoes wh’*h had reached shore all at once went darting at through the shallows—escaping. Launched on the run, they were out upon the open lake and disappear- ing at top speed before Curt and Paul could realize what was taking Place. They stared at each other in amazement. “They're gone!” Paul gasped. Curt was more skeptical. He sim- ply could not believe it. “Maybe they're gone. This thing has got the earmarks of a trap, to me.” “But we saw them go.” A suspicion of the truth struck urt. “How many canoes did you sce?” “Six.” “That's what I counted. Only five boats reached shore. Where'd they get that extra canoe?” They left the barricade and hur- Tied down to the camp site. Curt’s heart sank as he glanced about. All their supplies had been destroyed. With Paul at his heels he turned and ran out to where they had aban- doned their canoe, It was not there. It was the loss of their canoe that really frightened them. Food, sup plies, tents—those were not matters of life or death. But with a mile of water all around them and no craft to get away in, they were help- less prisoners on that bare strip of sand and boulders. IX FRONT of the tents Paul hunted around and found one of the pine knots which they had used for start ing fires quickly. Over in the barri- cade Curt lit it with a double match, wedged the taper between two rocks, and bent over Ralph’s crumpled form. Curt’s hand shook and his eyes grew misty as he worked with his stricken friend. He decided to cut’ off the shaft of the arrow and let the rest remain, for he could never ex- tract the dart without starting an internal bleeding that would speed-| ily be fatal, When he had done that,| he brought water and bathed Ralph's face and loosened his| clothes to make him more eomfort-, able.
