The most noise made in its behalf was that created by the conference of jovernors which galloped down to Washington to tell the government ‘what to do; came home squawking fibout its own impotence and lack of knowledge. Others have favored it, heedless of fhe fact that such an expedient would lead, almost surely, to serfdom for agricultural America, The department of agriculture and the agencies engaged in extending Bhort-time credit to the farmer have hit upon an idea, however, which is not subject to these objections and may have substantially the same effect. They have agreed to refuse loans fo non-cooperators in the acreage teduction programs unless they agree mot to tip over the apple cart. ‘The plan is not to bar any farmer who has adequate security and is otherwise eligible but to require as- éurance from him that he will not increase production of basic com- modities in a manner detrimental to the success of the control programs. Farmers who have signed agreements ‘and are participating in the various control efforts will need no further proof of their good faith, It is perfectly logical. The govern- ment should not pay out money on ore hand to bring about reduced pro- duction and, with the other hand, finance the operations of a man who is trying to defeat this program. To do otherwise would be to work against the best interests of both the govern- ment and the farmers who are Cco- operating. How this system will be carried out is indicated in a joint statement issued by the AAA and the Farm Credit Administration. “A list of all who have signed production control agreements will be made available to the Farm Credit Administration. Each production credit association will have in its possession the list of farmers cooperating with the Agricultural Adjustment Admin- istration in the territory it serves, and, therefore, will know which farmers have signed agreements. Thus, each farmer who has not signed such an agreement will be required to obtain a statement from the county council to be set up in each county by the AAA with authority to issue certifi- cates respecting crop production by farmers who are not named on the list of cooperators. The pro- duction credit associations will accept such certificates as satis- factory evidence that the persons to whom they are issued are not increasing their production in a manner detrimental to the suc- cess of the program. “This cooperative agreement between the Farm Credit Admin- istration and the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration applies to all short-term credit agencies over which the Farm Credit Ad- ministration has control. Thus . it applies not only to the newly- organized production credit asso- ciations of which there are now more than 450 and of which 50 to 75 are being organized each week, but to private lending agen- cies and corporations which dis- count farmers’ notes with the federal intermediate credit banks, such as livestock loan companies, agricultural credit corporations and banks. “The close cooperation between the Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration and the Farm Credit Administration does not contem- plate an undue hardship on those who have not joined production control associations. It does look forward, however, to a coordina- tion of the efforts of these two 4 ? financing farm indebtedness and | his message to cont on January consequenuy are not affected by |3. in his list of crimes that “call on this joint ent with the /the strong arm of the government Agricultural Adjustment Admin- | for their immediate suppression” and pero Bo sppueate fs & len on the country “for an aroused pub- from @ land or from the tic opinion,” the president catalogued to obtain the etaa at tee MH : : aa. ol ni <1 \- : i ‘o get his Siey, Gna hinoaad’ shooting and Hid ad Pass Yoel pride should not be {fhe Tale of a Cop—and a Hero! | pin. . i” Criticising the cop is one of Amer- {ca’s favorite indoor sports.

Well, the other night McCarron was walking his beat, along about 4 in the morning, when he saw flames and smoke coming from the fourth floor of an apartment building. He ran into the building, climbed of the building, and then went to the box and pulled a fire alarm. Returning to the building, he found that everybody on the fourth floor, where the fire was raging, had got out, except a 9-year-old girl. Some- how she had been overlooked; and by now even the first floor corridor was so full of black, choking smoke that nobody dared go in after her. So McCarron went in. He didn’t come out again, either. Hours later, after the fire had been put out, they found him, lying dead in the third- floor hall, the girl in his arms. | Somehow he had got to the top of | the building and got the girl and started down with her. Getting her) out had been too much for him. The | cop and the little girl, her arms about his sunburned neck, had died together. About the only thing to add is that next day a whole flock of youngsters called at the station house to ask when his funeral would be held.

THE PATHOLOGY OF OBESITY The tradition that fat folk are jolly, good natured, always laughing and looking on the cheerful side, grew up in @ day when fat folk didn’t care or didn’t know how young they were doomed to die! Prior to 35 moderate overweight, that is, not more than 10 per cent, in excess of the standard for age and height, is favorable to longevity and therefore approved by life insurance companies. Such plumpness in youth is a fairly good sign, if not actual assurance that the individual has no tuberculosis. Such ‘a youth is well nourished, carefree, as comely as may be, so why shouldn’t he or she be jolly? After 35, however, excess them when they return home. That would bring in some reports.

Its chairman, Robert F. Wagner, is ) Power interests have been fighting ecngressmen to eradicate this evil. It was this conference that four years ago served notice on men that they held no commission to protect the honor and virtue of southern women by means of mob and mur- ders. With a membership of some 1,000,000 white women in 11 southern states, the conference can be said to speak io southern women rather gener- elly. The conference did not specifically indorse the pending Wagner-Costi- gan bill, providing for federal inter- vention to halt lynchings. But there is argument for such a measure in the conference's statement that: “Past experience has demonstrated that state and local authorities and the public opinion behind them have |+, failed to bring to justice members of lynching mobs, although their iden- tities have been known.” ‘The federal anti-lynching bill does not deprive localities of an oppor- federal government with the right to step in and punish lynchers and cow- ardly officials when localities have failed.

DREADFUL NEWS I8 TOLD Improved business conditions and increased confidence have relaxed the reticence of New Deal officials as to the seriousness of conditions when they took hold last March. The posi- tion of insurance companies, for in- stance, was then @ guarded secret. It was pretty bad. Now the com- panies have been strengthened and those which need it will be supported by still more federal funds. Last \spring, also, several of the biggest railroads were facing receivership be- cause of interest charges on huge mortgage debts. PLAYED FOR SUCKERS Some cities and towns which are | going to have their own electric plants {have been played for suckers, accord- ing to fearful friends of municipal ownership.

That’s why private such projects tooth and nail in some localities while encouraging them in others, where @ return justifying the investment is considered doubtful.

Chapter 49 THE Kiss GC knew something was troubl- ing A-K deeply. He had been noticing it ever since the old officer ‘arrived six hours ago. “What is it, A-K?” he asked. Marlin turned to him with a reso- hate air. “I might as well get it over hwith, I suppose. She, I mean Rosalie, told me to break you the news. I should have, before now, but it's a dismal duty.” In a flash Curt guessed the trouble. Rosalie had landed a more suitable candidate than himself! He won- dered sardonically whether the gen- tleman was the Edmonton banker or the Seattle ship owner, “I believe I know what you're going to tell me, A-K.” For Marlin’s si he hid his sheer delight over the unexpected good news. “Rosalie came to the conclusion that she and I just weren’t suited for each other, and so she—” “You're being generous,” Marlin interrupted, more sharply than he had ever spoken of Rosalie, “The conclusion she came to was that she wanted to marry money; and she went after it, and—well, jot it, got a whole steamship line!” He made a weary gesture and stood up. “Well, you know now. I don’t think it's altogether a surprise to you. Nor,” he added pointedly, “very much of a disappointment.” “No, it isn’t,” Curt admitted hon- estly. “I was intending to have a frank talk with’ her when I was in the city a month ago, but she wasn’t there. Rosalie and I can be a lot bet- ter friends as things stand than if have warried.” “Yes, you're right. She’s got one idea of what life's all about and you've got a different idea, and the two would’ve been oil and water.” When they went out to old John's camp, the company had already gathered. On the packing box Sonya sat talking With Mrs. Hodkins and Paul and a girl. The Indians and prospectors were there, and the young trapper had brought his two wolf cubs, still fuzzy and playful but now grown too big for his pocket. One person of that former eve- ning was missing, though; and Curt felt the loss keenly. As his glance occasionally met Sonya’s across the fire, he knew that she too was think- ing of Ralph Nichol» and a lonely lobstick up the Lilluar, Like some wild creature brought in from the mountains, Tenn-Og ‘hung back at the edge of the fire- glow, trying to understand all those strange tongues and strange people of the outerworld. After an exile of one hundred and twenty years, a Klosohee had returned at last to the ancestral home o- his tribe. Curt felt a proprietary interest in that proud little band which had {fought him so fiercely, They were ‘his clan, and he wanted to give them a helping hand and some desperate- ly needed counsel, Even in that iso llated country they could no longer {hold out against a changing world. iNow that the primitive Siam-Klale ;was dead and Tenn-Og’s half brother vas leading them, he believed he could wean them from their unso- ways. Curt noticed how tired Sonya was, ‘too tired to talk or even listen to the ‘others. The long trip out of the Lil- ‘ Juars, ended only yesterday, had ‘been hard on her; he himself still felt logy from it, Aut before midnight she looked across at bim with an understanding glance, excused ber self and went up toward the factor’s After a decent interval he got up and left, as 83 pos sible. In the moon shadows of the trading post he found her, waiting for him.~ “You were so long, dear,” she whispered, “I thought you weren't coming.” Curt disarmed her with a kiss. “I had to wait several minutes, and then I swung out around the Indian tepees so those folks wouldn't know T’'d followed you.” He linked his arm through hers| ° and they started out the path toward the old fort, ” “Does A-K still think I'm an ad- venturess, Curt?” “When I told him how you trailed Karakhan, he wanted to sign you up for the Mounted.” Pe that’é be fun! I think I'll do “You will not! You're going to cast our lot with the Provisolal Police.” She mused: “Commissioner, wife of the Provincial Commissioner— that’s an awfully high position for me to live up to, Curt. I don’t know whether I can make good at it or not.” “But think of what I'll have to live up to, sweet. Look”—he took her hand and laid it upon his own, her slender tapering fingers upon his rough calloused ones. “Don’t!” Sonya stopped him. She raised his hand to her lips. “This hand fought for me, and was wounded. Do you remember”—they were passing Curt’s tent—“remem- ber the evening when I came by here and Paul said ‘Bon soir’ to me? J didn’t know you were in the ¢ent or even that you existed. Six weeks ago —it doesn’t seem possible, Curt.” A thousand yards from the post they sat down on a lichen-covered rock near the wave edge. Sonya nes tled against him, her tired head against his shoulder. She was motionless and silent so long that he believed she must have dropped off to sleep, but when he glanced down he saw that she was looking up at him, studying him. “You're sorry, aren't you, Curt?” “Sorry—for what, dear?” “That we're not going to live ina country like this. That we're going back to thd cities.” “I am, a little,” he admitted. “I can’t help being, dear. But my place is down there. You helped me see that, And besides, we'll have all this summer for our honeymoon in the Lilluars. I'm being honest with you, Sonya—I don’t want to go back down north. This work I'm taking on is a responsible position, and Pm egoist enough to believe that even-' tually I'll climb on past it.” ‘HE twined her fingers with his, as though she had been worrying about his happiness and now was reassured by his words. In the distance he could see the ruddy glow of old John’s campfire and the twinkle of figures passing back and forth in front of it. A night wind rustling in the woods behind brought him the pur! of an overfalls and the sad elemental song of the pines. Low in the southwestern sky red Antares, Sonya’s tryst star and the star he had watched at Ralph's death, was sinking out of sight in a notch between two mountains, When he glanced down at Sonya again, long minutes later, he saw that her eyes were closed. He did not stir, or wake. her; it was coo pre cious to have her asleep in his arms. She seemed so different at heart from what she had been on their trip north—more cheerful and at peace, With the death of Karakhan a black load had fallen away from her. She could begin to forget that tragedy in distant foggy Vladivos- tok, and start to live again. He marveled at the strange des- tiny which had brought her to him— trom the Volga of old Russia, across ° Siberia, China, Canada, to this north- ern wilderness where he and she had met. He thought of the night when he had seen her looking out into the rain, lonely and moody, with that fearful trip ahead of her. Far away across the lake a wolf lifted Its wailing crescendo, its voice laden with the loneliness and say- agery and beauty of the Northland. He would miss all that, Curt thought sorrowfully—the Arctic prairies, the Nahanni Mountains, the happy free- dom which had been his for a year and which he would put behind him irrevocably that fall. It seemed to him that when he had sent his plane crashing into Karakhan’s ship, it had been like folding up his wings and bidding . good-bye to adventure, From the very beginning of the Karakhan hunt intangible bonds had been tightening upon him little by little, drawing him back to his destined course of life, But he did not feel that he was leaving the wilderness for good and all. They could come back to it, he and Sonya, and live for a while in it. There would be times when they would need to come back—to keep their perspective and get a new bold ~ on their strength. Wh: he aia regret the musk-ox prairies and the white-wolf hills? One could not have rything. He felt, as he smoothed a wisp of haiz from Sonya’s cheek, that he had received his full share, and more. He had health and courage, and a position that challenged all his powers, and the vista of still more challenging ‘heights toward which he and Sonya could climb together.
