which you have been receiving for so
many years. You seem to be the same
old fighter. There are few who can
boast record such as yours"
Then Bob at once related his ad-
ventures in Mexico and explained the
important part Liberty had played in
the efforts of the Major and himself
to exterminate Lopez and his band.
The president listened attentively and
was very much interested in the story
of Liberty and the great perils she
had risked in the hands of the Mexi-
cans.
81 have never heard of q girl as
brave as Miss Horton" he remarked,
'and will ask congress for the power
to send an efficient force into Mexico
for the purpose Of rescuing ner. and
within the next As hours the men
should be on their way"
At that moment the presidents prl-
vate secretary entered the room and
handed a telegram to Major Winston,
who hastily opened it. 1t was Liber-
tvs message informing him of the
death of Lopez and the escape of her
self and Pedro.
With sigh of relief the Major then
read the message aloud TO the presi-
dent and Bob, and both waxed jubi-
liant as they congratulated each other.
"1his win save the government
much expense in addition TO a great
many lives" said the president. at
might be we'll to have Miss Horton
come to Washington in order that the
government may properly reward her"
The Major and Bob were elated at
the suggestion and the former imme-
diately wrote a message to Libt -ty re-
questing her tn come to Wash ngton
at once. While he was writing this
the secretary came in with another
message which he handed TO the preSi-
dent. II was from General Latham
stating that Lopez had been properly
identified and that Liberty and Pedro
were undoubtedly entitled to the re-
ward. He informed the Major and
Bob of is contents and then the two
passed out, after promising that be-
fore many hours had passed the girl
who had endured such remarkable ex-
perience would stand before him.

died his papers for a moment. Sud
denly he turned towards her. Il pre-
sumo you knew of the reward the
United States government had offered
for the capture of LopezF
"Yes," she answered.

hacienda in order that we may have
an official confederation of this" he
continued as he handed the message
to one of his aides. with instructions
to see that it was sent Immediately.
While these scenes were being en-
acted near the border, Rutledge and
the Major were far from idle in Wash
ington. Immediately upon his arrival
the Major had gone to the Jail, where
it did not take him long to effect the
release of Bob. Then they went to
the hotel where both cleaned them
selves up. after which they donned
their best uniforms and started for the
White House, where they arrived just
before the closing of executive office
hours.
The Major had previously been to
the war department. where, after a
session with the secretary, during
which he explained matters so salts
factOrily that he was given back his
commission. an appointmelt had been
arranged with the nations chief exc
cutive.
So when the Ma jor and Bob reached
the White House they were shown into
the executive office. where they found
the president seated at his desk writ
ing.
Bob was not the least bit nervous,
for he looked upon the man before him
as one who had simply been little
more lucky than he had been. The
Major was truly a remarkable figure
in his blue uniform. with its gold lace,
and despite his years, he carried him
self with the same assurance which
had always characterized him as dis
tinguished parsonage. But, under
meath that uniform he CARRIED seven

Il want to commend you, Captain
Rutledge, for the excellent reports
which have come TO the war depart
ment of your work along the border"
said the president as he grasped the
hand of the ranger.
"Thank you" replied Bob as he
smiled.
"AnC you. Major Winston" con-
tinued the president. ''There is hardly

DON'T EAT ANY
OLD POTATOES
Millions of Patriotic Citizens
viii Obey EdiCt to Insure
Big New Crop.
OLD ONES NEEDED FOR SEED
Prominent Chicago Club Starts Move

Chicago. Ill.-Several million pa
triotic citizens WIFI eat no more cid
potatoes until after July 1. They take
this method of helping to make as
large as possible the potato crop of
the United States next harvest-a very
important matter The Eat No Pota-
toes" movement started short time
ago with the Hamilton club, one Of
the leading political and social organ
taken up by other clubs and hotels
here. and soon was spreading out
over the nation in all directions.
Who started the movement An
agricultural expert of international
reputation, Eugene H. Grubb. is the
man. He made public statement
In Chicago. saying eff all the seed
potatoes in the United States were
planted this spring they would not pro-
duce a sufficient crop to meet the
needs of the country" That was an
omInous statement. but Carl yrooman.
assistant secretary OF agriculture.
backed 1t with this;
Needed for Seed.
"There are several things I wish to
urge upon the American people for
the sake of economy and as a patriotic
duty. First. don't eat any old pota-
toes. We need them for seed pota-
toes. Buy new ones, if you can afford
them. or use rice or something else as
substitute"
That settled IL. Hamilton clubmen
formed a committee which began work
by taking potatoes off the club restau-
rant menu. Other clubs in town were
asked TO cooperate. Then clubs and
hotels and prominent individuals all
over the land were asked to ban the
potato and use their influence to keep
folks from eating old potatoes. The
replies came In a food. and they were
the right kind of answers, too.
The Hamilton club committee also
started an investigation in the Chicago
vegetable markets to see how many
potatoes were held here. Imagine
their surprise when they found certain
commission men and food spectators
HI lfWNaf-cHiifh w LAbAE AtAAt AAhtA ~
million dollars worth OF the vegetable.
This supply had been bought up dur
ing the late winter and early spring
and the owners were planning a profit
of millions of dollars.
And now the appeal has gone forth
to farmers: Don't sell your seed pota-
toes at any price"
The potato planting season begins
very early In the South. but It does not
end until about the first Of July in
northern Michigan. Minnesota and
Montana, which are important potato
states.
The American who wants 90 help
Uncle Sam win the war aud who will
be delighted 10 get chance 10 trim
the food spectators, has his opp0rtu-
nifty now: He should eat no old po-
tatoes until after the planting season.
