With an Oath Roland Gregory Fired.

Gregory's factory. Roland consulted
Mr.. Graham, who, however, decided
not to bring libel suit for him.
Roland Gregory had been drinking
somewhat that day, and he left the
office of Mr.. Graham in no pleasant
mood. After visiting his club, where
he fortified himself with few more
glasses, he wended his way to the
Tribune office.
Good morning, Mr.. Gregory" said
Reginald. He wondered at the visit,
for he was soon to confront Roland

and Joy now seemed impossible. Il
hope you like BronsonS new paper
he added.
ITO HI with your paper" replied
the other fiercely. What do you
mean by sending a spy to my factory
to sneak around and find out about
my private affairs?"

an editor the law courts are open," de-
fStSliillu
I'll soon have you in court" shout
ed the other, attempting to strike the
editor in the face. Reginald saw that
his visitor was partially intoxicated.
He warded off the blow which Roland
Gregory aimed at him and seized him
by the collar. Shaking him roughly,
the editor marched the helpless manu-
facturer before him out Of his private
office and gave him a push into the
street.
After q talk with Mr.. Rutlcdge that
night about Gregory and Mae Mo-
bray's ring Reginald called at Greg
orys Office.
What dc you want, sir?" asked Ro-
land Gregory, with a surprised frown
1T Reginald as he entered.
Have you ever seen that ring be-
fore?" Reginald handed the ring
which Allan Rutledge had given him
to Joy Graham's fiance as he spoke.
Roland Gregory started as he saw
the ring. Roland took the ring and
examined it hastily. He handed ii
back. saying scornfully, "No, l know
nothing about that ring"
II have a letter here" continued the
editor of the Tribune. taking letter
from his pocket, (which was written
by the jewelry firm in Chicago which

This ring was taken from the dead
hand of Mae Mobray after her death

eyes turned, terror stricken. on his

AFTERWORD.

Bronson is a different city now from
the one that heard Billy Sunday
preach in times past. Edgar Prince
is now mayor, the old. gang of council
men has been disrupted. The great
power there now is the Daily Courier
Tribune, edited by Reginald Nelson.
He fought the good fight and won, and
Joy Graham, now his wife, is a great
aid in running the paper.
Joys father finally decided to join
the church, having the mistakes of his
own life made clear by the violent
death Of Roland Gregory. He it was
who enabled Reginald to combine the
Courier with the Tribune.
Joy and Reginald spent their honey
moon in England, in Earlham castle,
in Essex, where the young nobleman's s
family (for heir to a title he turned
out to be- made much OF their beauti-
full young American relative.

BONANZA DAYS IN JOPLIN
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma Make
Big Money Out Of Zinc.

Throughout that section Of south
western Missouri, southeastern Kan
sas, northeastern Oklahoma and north
western Arkansas, of which Joplin
Mo-, is the centre there is a mining
boom that is making some men rich
overnight. The whole region is hilar-
ious. Bands went from town to town
and from mine to mine to celebrate
the glory of zinc blende selling at
$100 a ton and before the celebration
ended zinc blende was selling at
$11O. On Saturday last, zinc ore sold
at SIPS.
Most of the zinc America produces
comes from around the Joplin field
Spelter has sold at an average of
5 cents a pound for many years
With the European war shutting off
many and Belgium, the world has had
to secure it's supplies from the Unit
ed States. Cartridges, shells, etc.
require brass castings, and brass is

with the fate of nations depending
upon ammunition supplies. the urgent
demand for zinc has rushed the price
of spelter up to over five times its
original value.
There are a few zinc mines that
can be operated profitably when ore
is selling for $3S and $40 a ton. AL
most any mine can make a profit al
$50 a ton. The profit of any mine is
large at $50 ton.
The boom touches everybody in
the JOPLIN territory. Almost all the
100000 persons in the district are in
the zinc mining industry or in busi-
ness allied to it. 1t is a big mans
harvest and the little ones, too. The
men who own the smelters are getting
fabulous profits but the profits of the
individual operators are so large that
there is no jealousy. The zinc field
has many mines owned by individuals
the great majority of whom work
independently. A fair size mine repre-
Senting an investment of from $4,000
to $4,000, now earns $4,000 II week
The small mines where the small fry

rock with q sledge and wash ii by
hand bring profits Of $3.50 week.

= Az to Private Fish Ponds.-Accord.
ing to an opinion rendered by the Of
flee Of Thomas H. Peoples, attorney
general, the damming Of a stream in
the formation Of an artificial pond
does not make 1t a pond" within the
contemplation Of the law, but the
waters so damned up continue part
Of the stream and, therefore, whether
privately owned or not, in such waters
in my opinion, 1t Is a violation Of the
law to fish in any matter other than
as is allowed by the statutes regulat-
ing the catching Of fish,"
The opinion Is Of interest, as there
are many privately owned ponds in the
state. The owners and others, there
fore, who fish in many Of these ponds
are amenable to the law governing
the public waters Of the state.
The opinion was in answer to let
ter from Col. A. A. Richardson Of CO.
lumbia, chief game warden, who
wanted to know what constitutes a
private pond or lake under section
755, Criminal Code Of 1872" The let
ter states that the chief game warden
has several cases pending in Claren-
don county and the results depend on
whether the body Of water Is private
or not. The pond in question Is form
ed by the damming up Of a running
stream, the backed up" water being
on private land.
The attorney general quotes the
code, which. gives authority to the
general assembly to make such laws
and regulations governing fishing in
the public waters Of the state as II
may see fit. The attorney general
quotes 40 Cyc, page 634, as follows:
"A lake is an inland body Of water
Of considerable size, occupying nat
ural basin or depression in the earth's
surface below the ordinary drainage
level Of the region, fed by either sur
face or subterranean streams or
springs, and containing little or no
current or motion Of the waters In
any particular direction. A pond has
the same characteristics. except that
1t is Of relatively small size, and may
be either natural or artificial"

CHAPTER XIX.
A Tragedy.

Mrs. Rutledge and her husband
were interested when the Tribune
printed the announcement that "Ro-
lcnd Gregory and Miss Joy Graham
are to be married October 20" Poor
Joy!" was their comment. Maybe
she can reform him."
"Py the way" said Mrs. Rutledge,
II saw Mrs. Mobray yesterday morn
ing, and she asked me about that ring
which she gave me a long time ago.
What ring?" said Allen Rutledge.
1.-The ring which Mrs. Mobray found
On the finger of Mae after her death.
You remember 1 gave it to YOU"
"Oh!" exclaimed the minister. Il
remember. I had forgotten in some
way altogether about It," He took out
the gold band which he had laid in the
drawer the evening previous to the
midnight tour of Bronson.
"I shall attend to this at once" he
said, taking the ring and laying it on
his desk.
That morning he sent letter to a
jewelry firm in Chicago, inclosing the
ring and asking them to trace, If pos
sible, the buyer.
In two weeks he received letter,
returning the ring and giving as the
name of the buyer a prominent citizen
in Bronson.
Allen Rutledge read the name and
gasped, Gen it be possible?"
And when Reginald Nelson was
shown the letter he was amazed as
well. The ring found on the dead
girls hand was purchased by Roland
Gregory.
The Tribune had inaugurated a Sc
ries Of articles on the industrial con-
ditions in Bronson. One Of them
showed the deplorable conditions in

TOURING
YELLOWSTONE PARK

Washington. d. Chat automo-
bilists have only waited the opening
of the Yellowstone National Park to
make it an objective touring point
in their plans, is amply proved by
the many who have inquired at the
touring department Of the A. A. A.,
both at the Washington and at the
New York headquarters, not few of
whom are from the extreme east.
Fully 80 per cent OF the transcon-
tinental tourists have scheduled
"trip through the park and this ratio
IFS now rapidly increasing as the open
ing day approaches.
The plan for opening the Yellow
stone to automobiles, on August /,
is completed. Colonel Brett, U. S. a.,
superintendent Of the Yellowstone
National park, has compiled q very
lembracive set of rules to govern the
peculiar situation which this season
lis bound to come about when it is
appreciated that the roads are not
Iall they should be and that the noun
/ tain horses, used by the stage lines,
are too wild to take chances with.
There may be some motorists who
twill complain that the regulations
lare unhappily strenuous, but it is be-
ieved that a general spirit of good
lsportsmanship will prevail on the
part of those using their automobiles
for touring the park and because of
this the rules will be accepted as
they ought to be. With motorists
showing full appreciation that they
Pre- pioneers in the opening Of the
park, they will demonstrate ways and
means for better all round regula-
lions that are bound to come from
the experiences this year of those in
charge of the park and the enforce
Iment of the new rules. 1t is an ex-
pertinent not without certain risks
land obviously there must be no &C
lcidents to mar the opening.
Il It is only natural that considerable
time must pass before the mountain
lhcrses, used for the stage coaches,
will be fully accustomed to the auto
mobile, and before the roads through
THE park are in really prpoer condi-
ton for this new kind of traffic
However, those in charge are fully
alive to the new needs Of tourists

Itions improve and as promptly as pos
lsible.

ADVICE TO DRY FARMERS
BY the Experimental Superintendent

Last week we address a letter to
Superintendent L. G. Aichers in
charge of the office of cereal investi-
cations at Aberdeen, and received the
following reply:
Mr.. Byrd Trego,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
/ We will not have Farmers Day
at the Aberdeen station this year.
Visitors are always welcome, how
ever, and we will gladly point out
the things of interest on the farm.
Regarding spring planted crops,
will say that this whole section prom
Uses a failure of spring wheat, oats
and barley this year. On the other
hand the winter wheat crop will
make fair yield over the entire
section. Frost and drought have done
their part but the average yield,
while considerably below normal, is
not failure.
This is not spring grain country
on the dry lands. Winter crops have
always outyielded spring crops on
this station. The only excuse for
planting spring crops is as catch
lcrop in case of winter killing. Many
plant spring oats for feed but many
dry farmers grow turkey wheat and
buy oats for feed believing that they
make by it, thus not growing any
spring crop.
Winter killing can be largely over
come by seeding at the right time in
the fall and on the right kind of
lseed-bed. Winter wheat should be
planted on a firm seed bed, (not
foose). 1t should be planted about
two inches deep providing ample
moisture is available to sprout the
grain. The crop should not be plant
ed later than September Is for best
results. Our time of planting ex-
|periments indicate that the best time
to plant Is between August Is ana
September Is. The best time between
these limits depending upon when
the fall rains come. The winter wheat
crop to do we'll mnst be well up Al
the fall before going into the winter.
With firm turf thus formed, and
good root system, the harder types
OF winter wheats, such as the tur-
keys will Withstand winter killing,
through the hardest of winters. In
1.-THE Rexburg country and other see
lions of higher elevation, earlier
planting is advisable if moisture is
available in the soil to terminate the
lseed Many poor stands can be
traced to sowing too deep, on loose
seed bed, or sowing too late in the
fall.
AS to handling the land now in
spring crop will say that IL not too
far gone would suggest turning live
stock in to harvest what can be
gathered. This should then be disk
ed thoroughly and plowed as soon
as moisture is available to soften up
the soil This land is too hard and
Idry to plow now. It should not be
cropped, but fallowed for this com
ling summer and planted a year from
this fall. The moisture supply is en-
