They long for warm weather. By so doing they display a surprisingly i short memory, for less than a year ago we suffered terribly from no rainfall at all. _ _ Wednesday will bring the first anniversary : of what was probably the worst dust storm in | the history of Bismarck. Visibility was meas- ured in feet, rather than yards, and scores be- came ill as a result of dust-clogged lungs. Ten “dust pneumonia” deaths occurred in a single i week in Bismarck alone. i Everything would grow faster if it were a little warmer, it is true, but continued cool weather causes the moisture to sink deeper into the soil and every additional rain helps to fill the lakes, sloughs and potholes. We are going to need every drop of that water before this part of the country really gets back to normal. The surface is wet but subsoil moisture still is lacking and only by seepage from impounded pools can the level of the underlying water table be restored. The accumulated deficiency of the last few years is far greater than the excess recorded this year and the moisture received this year has, as yet, had no effect on the water level table. These ar~ things to remember as we see the first really, green grass in two years and enjoy the most favorable agricultural outlook since 1982. Incidentally, if we think it is too cold, let us hark back to May of 1934 when, in addi- were common and there was real distress and suffering. What if the growing season is a little bit late? When the sunshine does come we will be in position to enjoy it all the more. And when warm weather does come our prairies will bloom in @ manner not known for many moons. We can still be thankful for the rains. No Home Work strange forms and has peculiar manifestations but some- times it results, indirectly, in'a great deal of good.

But the cynical insiders chuckle rudely as they agree that what's really biting the big corporation executives hardest is the spotlight the New Deal has turned on their frequently enormous salaries. Between questionnaires of the securities and ex- change commission and the federal trade commission, it’s got so a corporation president can’t even conceal his sal- ary from the company’s own stockholders. Nothing could be more embarrassing. In ever So many cases, executives have been getting to- gether around the table and pyramiding one an- other’s salaries on the basis of inside politics— much as if they were making a big pot in a game of stud, Stockholders, who own the companies, have been kept ignorant.

This sort of thing threatens to ee ee velt’s fault. The records show that many executives re- ceived huge pay boosts in 1934—including quite a few of $25,000 te $50,000—and presumably they'd be friendlier to the New Deal if it weren't for the publicity, John T. Flynn has pointed to the case of Chairman Francis B. Davis of U. 8. Rubber, who was boosted from $96,136 in 1933 to $125,000 in 1934 while the company was deficit of $600,000, estimating its 1934 deficit would about equal its 1933] 2.

She could hear the pounding of her heart, She could also bear the pounding of steps on the pave- + ment as Vera Duchene and Bob Caise came walking directly toward her. What had brought them? Had they trailed her in some way. or was it merely a coincidence that she had blundered upon them? She had no means of knowing, but she sensed that were she discovered in this deserted side street she would probably never live to tell of her encounter. Ever since she bad seen those sinister dark splotches in the room where Norman Happ had gone to call upon the myste rious Phyllis Faulconer she had realized the desperation of the peo- * ple who were opposing her. Vera Duchene and her escort walked directly past the doorway. Millicent caught her breath in a quick intake as Vera Duchene’s arm almost brushed against her shoulder. As they walked past she heard ‘Vera Duchene saying, “. . . every- thing’s under cover now. We can let them investigate and .be damned.” “No,” Bob said, “there remains that gir.

Even then she waited for almost a minute poiane ventur Millicent Jones, _ Norman. #anp would communicate with her there. Millicent caught @ cab at the cor- ner, went at once to the hotel. The clerk eyed her with casual curl- osity. “Has anyone been calling for me?” she asked. “You're sure?” “Of course I'm sure. No one’s called you.” “Listen,” she told him, “I'm go- ing out, but if anyone calls for me, would you mind telling them that Miss Jones left a message that she is quite all right and will be back here to pick up any messages in about an hour from now?” She slipped as dollar from her purse and said, “It’s really most important.” The flabby fingers of the man be- hind the desk closed on the dollar. “Okay.” he said, showing the first bit of friendly interest he had displayed toward her. “I'll see that your message is delivered. Miss Jones. But who shall I de- liver {t to? Just anyone that calls?” “Just anyone that calls,” she said. “Anyone.who asks for me.” Her cab was waiting at the door. She decided to risk detection by going back to the apartment house and ascertaining if the cab driver had discovered anything in his tour ‘of the apartments. . | i HE entered the cab, gave the driver the address and sat back against the cushions, her mind rac- ing with a confused sequence ‘of thoughts. She barely noticed the Passing of time until the cab ar- rived at the apartment house. She saw the friendly cab driver sitting behind the wheel of his cab which was parked at the curb. She paid off the driver of the cab in which she was riding, walked up to her friend and said in a low voice, “Did you find anything?” He gave a start of surprise, whirled around to face her and sald, “Take it easy.

She found that, without conscious’ volitiog on her part, she was mechanically retracing the course which had been taken by the taxi. cab when she had fied from the apartment and suddenly realized that her route would take her past the big garage which the cab driv. er had pointed out to her when she had asked him to park. That must be where Vera Ductiéne and Bob Caise had been going when they had walked so rapidly and purposefully past her. ees SS Increased her pace, walked to the garage, entered it and smiled at the man on duty. “A man and a woman came in here about half an hour ago,” she said, “for an automobile. I wonder if there’s any chance you would re- member the car or the people.” “What sort of car?” he asked. “I don’t kno-r, but I think it was @ cabriolet—not one that’s stored here regularly.” He shook his head. “No,” le said, “I don’t think there's been 9 transient car in here all evening. Most o: our stuff is storage by the month.” An idea flashed quickly through her mind. “Do you store a car for a Phyllis Faulconer?” she asked. “Why, yes,” he said. “A black sedan, license number 933410.” “That's the one,” she said ex. citedly. “Could © see it for a mo- ment?” He looked at her suspiciously, but she gave him a reassuring smile. “I just want to look at it,” she said. “I'm very much int ” “It’s on the second floor,” he said. “I guess I should go up with you, but you look all right, so I'll let you go on up by yourself, I’ve got to stay on duty down here.” She thought then that there was something peculiarly significant about his expression.
