lip curled.
Want to see her with the goods? Well. Jackson

woman, her eyes flaming with instant resentment
Il stayed in this house for other than to

timidity about her.
What do you know about this"

You give it" Across June's mind there flashed
again the whole Of her own vital predetermined
whatever the wife has must come from the husband
in the nature Of charity. She saw herself again as
the pteous little beggar before Ned. whom she loved,
and she Mrs. Perry in that same attitude before
this stern husband what right have you to call it

The man stopped and turned to June with puz-
zled brow She had set astir in him new thought.

overlook chance like this. l know your kind,
Jackson Perry! You give your wife an allowance
that covers everything but emergencies You figure

confidence.
There a slight convulsive heaving Of Perry's
shoulders but that was all. He drew out pocket
book and counted some money into the yellow
haired woman's hand
Now bring Gwen to me-" he said.
With moist eyes June hurried from the room.

over June's shoulder to take the phone The new
secretary had made no move toward the phone. She
staring at the yellow haired woman in aston

herself and called the number.

the telephone and June, seeing Mrs Perry's I'M

over to her own desk and took up the extension

officer, who opened it himself
"Well-well-well!" gulped Aunt Debby, her eyes
batting "She done stole my other pocketbookT'
That's enoughr growled the officer. NO negro
ever had two pocketbooks." The officer then dis
persed the crowd that had gathered and started Ma

The car already started.
To Ned's they drove, and within five minutes after

June hung up the receiver. She was surprised to
see the yellow haired woman put up her own phone
and come across the room with benign expression.
Cheer up" she advised. "Hubby's all right"
Mrs Perry Strengthened up.

Ger Grady walked over to lift his cap po-
Htely and to help Marie across the street
with her empty market basket. Two
blocks up Officer Dowd carried her basket two
blocks OF his beat to where Officer Herman held
up the traffic both ways while she described the
chicken potpie she intended to make for dinner
All this was, first, because the Widow OKeefe's
husband had been the most popular man on the
force and, second, because Marie plain OF feature
though she was, had found in herself an unexpected
knack for pleasing policemen.
In the market June's maid, companion and pro-
tector wandered from stall to STALL selecting her
tiny purchases Of fruit and vegetables. She was
Just deciding the tremendously important selec-
ton of the chicken itself when suddenly an ava

means abashed, and she threw open the parlor door

the lights for him and saw that he was oppressed
by the fact Of the drawn curtains.
The yellow haired woman found him standing sol

corn is much used, the average is
four bushels. Normally about three
per cent of the corn crop is consumed
as food. OF our total crop, about so
millions would be used for food, the
remainder for other purposes. The
remainder could be used for foods
and substitutes used for animals.
The potato production in the United
States averages 3.S bushels per Cop

is /. bushels. The average price of
meat animals was seven per cent
cheaper in January than a year ago,
butter two per cent lower the price
of chickens slightly lower, of pota-
toes 50 per cent lower; and of apples
it was 81 per cent lower.

WATT AND SMITH ARE BUSY

The Herald is in receipt of an in

Mr.. Gaddis says, in part:
"One of the hardest fought bills

the vehicle bill, House Bill No. 1OS,

bill makes it a misdemeanor to drag,

spikes, cleats or Jugs over a road in
case the vehicle carries enough
weight to crack, break or perma-

Street Talk on Other possibilities"
With the definite assurance that
Mr.. Bender will not be retained as
football coach next year, the atten-
ton of students, alumni and athletic
fans in general has turned to the
subject Of who will be selected by
the regents to succeed him. Aside
from the II coaches who have made
application for the position or have
been recommended to the regents,
several other possibilities have been
mentioned by the athletic fans. E.
A Hinderman, who turned out
championship teams at Pullman high
school three years ago and for the
past two years has met with great
success at the Lewis and Clark high
school, Spokane, has a local follow
ing, especially among high school
students and alumni, who are in
slstent that he is the logical man for
football coach, and will make an eff
fort to influence Hinderman to
make application to the regents.
Under the present status of events
it is not improbable that the duties
of coach and graduate manager must
be divided, and several possibilities
for graduate manager have been
suggested unofficially. Among these
are John II. Jones, '03, now located
in Spokane. Jones managed the
athletic affairs Of the institution for
two years and made a good record.
lie has a considerable following who
are boosting him for the position in
case 1t Is made a separate office.
Another possibility who is being
boosted by a number of students
and towns people is Nj. 0. ("Turk')
Monroe, member of the present
Senior class, and at present assist
ant football manager to Manager
Bender The name of Mr.. Bender
has also been suggested as a sue
cessor to himself as manager and
baseball coach, although it is not
known whether or not Mr.. Bender
would permit his name to be con-
sidered in that capacity.
All OF these names, however. have
only been suggested unoffically by
friends, and none of the four has
stated his willingness to enter the
