ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. WHEN TOUGH DAYS WILL COME TO R. F. The really tough days for the R. F. C. will be those which follow attempts to collect all those loans to banks, railroads, etc. Uncle Sam was very popular in Europe as long as the Europeans were spending the money that he loaned them. When he asked for some interest on the loans they started talking about repudiation. Then they began to de- fault. Then Uncle Sam became a selfish old skin- flint because he refused to say amen. However, the situation will be different R. F. C. transactions, in one respect at least. When the American people reach a point that they realize that repayment of the special loans will mean tax reductions, no international complications will inter- fere with the use of pressure. At that the loans will probably be repaid whenever the borrowers may be able to borrow the money for repayment cheaper from other sources than they are now getting it from the Government. PLANT DISEASE SURVEY. As an aid to better land utilization, Dr. Neil E. Stevens, in charge of the plant disease survey work | of the United States Department of Agriculture, suggests a plant disease survey of the agricultural | lands of the United States Doctor Stevens says that in some regions natural conditions favor plant diseases and that as present the country’s needs, widespread knowledge of these plant disease areas could prevent attempts to grow certain agricultural production is sufficient for all crops in unsuited regions. The plant disease survey is suggested as a sup- as some areas might have productive soils but be so favorable to plant plement to the soil survey, diseases as to make some crops unprofitable. NEW MARKETS FOR TEXTILES. The improvement in textiles as that in copper indicates that we are apparently getting out of the almost complete stagnation situation that pre- vailed in June. Prices are still very low as com- pared with normal tfmes, but markets for products are being developed. Better prices ought to come in due course. The fact that people are beginning to buy is an important one—one that foretells that better times are coming. Higher prices for the product of labor will come next, and with them will come higher wages for labor and reduced un- employment. The improvement in textile markets may cause “a readjustment between cotton manufacturing in the South and New England. In July less than one- sixth of the cotton manufactured in the country was produced in New England. Massachusetts, which a few years ago produced one-half of all the cotton goods in the United States, ranked fifth among the States, with about one-fifth as great an output as that of South Carolina and one-fourth that of lcountry estate.

Gov. Roosevelt has appealed to the Democrats for small campaign contributions. While it is ad- mitted that the more givers there are the better it is for the reeciving party, it must be conceded that money pours in faster when it is collected in the Raskob way. Hitler is apparently finding the Hindenburg line even tougher than Foch, Pershing and the others ‘found it. Necessity of the Highway. (Valdez Miner.) Senator Howell, and those proponents of the transfer of the activities of the Alaska Road Com- Imission to the Interior Department, might learn |a valuable lesson from the situation existing in Alaska for the last two weeks. Numerous reasons have been set forth for advo- cating the transfer, but there is no douht that the principal reason was set forth in a letter written by Senator Howell to a resident of Valdez, in which {he said in part that the highway “must not be {permitted to compete with the Alaska Railroad.” In other words, the object of the transfer was to enable the Interior Department to permit the high- {way to fall into such a state of disrepair that freighting over it to Fairbanks would be no longer possible. Fortunately, with an election coming on, no steps in this direction were taken this year. Let us sup- pose that sufficient time had elapsed at this time to accomplish the purpose intended by the transfer. What would have been the consequences? The Alaska Railroad has been out of commission for something over two weeks just at the season when the merchants of Fairbanks are being called upon to outfit ‘prospecmrs and trappers for the winter; when their shipments are heavy and when delay Imight have been serious to those who spend their winters in the hills. With the highway out of com- |mission also, there would have been a serious short- “ago of all manner of supplies in the interior |country. | Fortunately the highway was in its usual splen- |did condition, and approximately 300 tons of food- |stuffs, thousands of gallons of gasoline and more {than four tons of mail were transported over the highway, to Fairbanks and other interior points. |So acute was the shortage of some supplies in Fair- banks that practically every truck in the interiot metropolis was pressed into service on the highway. All of this goes to show that the highway is as much of a necessity in the development of the Territory as the railroad; that to allow it to fall into disrepair would be a disastrous policy, for, while it may offer some competition to the rail- road, it also serves a section of the country not served by the railroad, in which a mining industry is being developed that promises to increase largely ithe gold output of the Territory. To permit the highway to fall into disuse would delay this devel- opment for years. There are better and far more economical meth- ods of making the railroad self-sustaining than by abandoning the highway. Floods may again put the railroad out of operation just as in the present in- stance. The highway is a necessity in the upbuild- ing of the Territory, no less than the railroad— possibly even more so, and its abandonment would Ibe the extreme of folly. The R. F. C. will continue to be intensely popu- lar until it begins appending to its correspondence ithe fateful words: “Please Remit.”—(Seattle Times.) Sometimes the stock market has its “bears” and sometimes its “bulls,” but it is happiest with the “lambs.”—(Seattle Times.) In one week recently New York City had 91 false alarms, not including the recent flurry in the stock market.—(Dayton, Ohio, News.) i Mr. Dinwiddie supports Hoover and Mr. Mec- Bride says the major task is to elect Congressmen |definitely committed to opposition to either repeal or modification. So endeth the party of the third part.—(Washington Post.)

Though they love each other Sondra expects to keep Mark, vho has been ill, happy and unaware of the truth. John’s honorable attitude to- ward her strengthens her pur- pose. CHAPTER 31. BEATRICE MAKES TROUBLE “You Laven't made a muddle of your life,” Sondra told John, “You have got everything you can Ppos- sibly want.” He let that pass and after a moment she broke out again. “I don’t know why you bother about us at all. We're not your responsibility.” “I naturally feel an interest in Merriman, secing that I sent him out. I want to do the best I can for him.” Her mouth quivered, but she an- swered bitterly. “In sure I am very grateful to you—on his be- half.” He leaned his arms on the table looking across at her with steady eyes. “Sondra, why do you persist in hurting me so? Can't you—can't we both think a little of this poor fellow who moments till he sees you again. Don’t ict's be cowardly.” Her eyes flashed angrily. “TI don’t know why you say ‘we. it's noth- ing to do with you. I don’t want you to carry my troubles, and any- way T &m a coward! It's the way T've be:n brought up, T suppose. It's all very well for you to talk. You're free—but I wonder how you would like to be me—tied hand and foot to someone you don't care for?" “Don't you think I've experienc- ed it? But I always tried not to “I don't see how that help: she said aimost sullenly; she push- ed back her chair and rose as Mrs. Merriman came hurrying back to them. “If she asks any more questions I shall scream,” Sondra said half hysterically Mrs. Merriman was flushed and sald to Anderson in a trembling voice. She ignored Sondra. sped away, a pathetic, anxious figure, and Sondra and Anderson looked a: one another silently. “How she hates me!” Sondra said. “Well, I don't care!” She picked up her coat. “I supposa we must go—" but when he mov- ea she spoke his name, “John.” “If I can't bear it—if I haven't “You will have.” She lazughed miserably. You say that because you don’t want fiercely. me.” Anderson said nothing, but his face twisted into lines of pain. She made a half movement to- wards him, ‘then checked herself and together they went out again into the rain. “All I can say it that you could have knocked me down with a feather,” Beatrice Taylor said em- phatically. “She stirred the iced drink before her slowly, her sharp eyes on Stephen Cassidy’s face. Beatrice did not like Cass, but there were occasions when she found him useful because he knew all the tid-bids of scandal which added so greatly to her interest in life. She had run into Cass in a res- isurant, and had invited herself to an iced drink. ‘Cass locked a little uncomfor- table; he was afraid of Beatrice, she had a disagreeable knack of making him say more than he in- tended to. He had tried to keep the coaversation in ordinary chan- nels, but she had skilfully led it round to the only subject that was interesting her at the mo- ‘ment—Sondra’s marriage. | “You could have knocked me down wtih a feather—" she said again, lifting the long spoon from the glass and sipping the cool| drink.

I must admit, but there you are—It’s Sondra's own businessand Merriman's a decent fellow.” “And he is so terribly ill,” Bea- trice said with exaggerated sor- row. “They say it will be months before he is fit and well again— it ever he is.” Cass made an elaborate business of lighting a cigarette. ' “Oh, he'll get all right again,” he said cheerfully. ‘“He’s younz and as strong as a horse. People oon't die so easily.” “They never die when they're expected to,” Beatrice answered. He looked at her suspiciously. “What does that mean?” he asked bluntly. She smiled and looked at her- self in & little mirror she took from her handbag. “Well, between you and me and the door-post, Sondra made a mis- take when she married him. Of course I know you won't let it go any further or I shouldn't be tell- ing you, but she was down at the shore in Mr. Anderson’s house there, only a week or two before poor Mark came home.” “Well?” Cass said bluntly. “John often lends his house to friends; why shouldn't Sondra have it?” “No reason at all, of course, only I don't suppose that he gen- lerally stays there at the same |time, doos he? 1 looked in one day for a cup of tea when—" she {laughed. “They seemed so very happy—at least, we interrupted |quite an emotional little scene Poor darling Sondra was crying.” Cass flushed and stared down at |the floor. jand go but it seemed difficult, and he could think of no adequate {excuse. Beatrice smiled with satis- (faction as she noticed his embar- (lassment. “Don’t think I'm blam- ing Sondra”—she said. “I simply |adore Mr. Anderson myself, and it is bad luck, isn't it?” “What is?” Cass asked bluntly. “That she should have made |such a mistake. You see, T'm her |best friend, and she does tell me ilots of things she wouldn't tell |anyone eise! They'll be so poor— |ppor Mark hasn't a cent and un- |l€ss Mr. Anderson does the sport- ing thing and goes on giving Son- jdra an allowance, I simply can’t imagine what theyll do?” “Look here—" Cass said, rousing {himself with an effort. “I dont | think we ought to talk about them like this—it's their own affair af- ter all! And I'm sure Anderson has never given any woman an aliowance—not a woman who was not his wife, I mean—" he floun- dered helplessly. “Sondra must have money of her own—can't dress and go about as she does on nothng a year, you know.” Beatrice laughed cruelly. “My dear man, she hasnt a cent. Take it from me, Flora used to give her money when she was living with that dreadful Ben, |but T know for a fact that since she went away, supp¥es have been cut off. Of course, I'm full of sympathy for her, but all the same —if Mark ever finds out what the tfue position is.” Cass broke in sharply. “I don't sée how he can find out, unless he is told.” Beatrice powdered her nose thoughtfully. “Things always come out, doa’t you think?” she asked calmly. “Especially things you want kept quiet. It's a nasty lit- tle way they have.” Cass fidgeted with his tie; he knew there was a lot of truth in what Beatrice had said, but to He wanted to get up, that it was a mistake for Sondra to marry him.” (Copyright 1932 by Julia M.
