new state will not be a small one, hay

The theory that small states and ma

the great majority of these were

CHAPTER vi.
Red ape.

AT ten o'clock the next morning Har-
din, entering the office, again the gen.
eral managers, found there before him
George MacLean, the new director, and
Percy BabcOck, the treasurer, who had
been put in by the Overland Pacific
when the old company was reorgan-
lied. They had just come In from Los
Angeles, the trip made in MacLean's
private car, to attend directors meet
ing.
Richard entered a few minutes later,
Estrada behind him. Ogilvie followed
Richard to his desk.
"Well?" inquired the new manager.
Ogilvie explained lengthily that he
had the minutes of the last meeting.
Leave them here" Richard waved
him toward Estrada, who held out his
hand for the papers.
Reluctantly the accountant relin-
quished the papers. His retreating
coattails looked ludicrously whipped
but no one laughed. Hardir's scowl
deepened.
Showing his power" he thought
Hes going to call for a new pack"
Estrada pushed the minutes through
with but a few unimpOrtant Interrupt
tons. He was sitting at the same desk
with Richard. Hardin, sensitive and
sullen, thought he saw the meeting
managed between them.
Several times he attempted to bring
the tangled affairs of the water COM
panies before the directors. Richard

ginning TO see what he's up against"
ran Hardin's stormy thoughts.
He was on his feet the next minute
with a motion TO complete the Hardin
headgate. Violently he detained TO
Babcock and MacLean his wrongs, the
injustice that had been done him. Mar
shall had let that fellow Maitland con-
vince him that the gate was not prac
ticable; had it not been for him the
gate would be in place now; all this
time and money saved. And the Matt
land dam, built instead Where was
it? Where was the money, the time,
put in that little toy? Sickeningi His
face purpled over the memory. Why
was he allowed TO begin again with
TIE gate? Answer me that. Why
was l allowed to begin again? It's all
child's play, that's what it is. And
when 1 am in it again up to my neck
he pulls me off -
This was the real Hardin, the I'M
couth. averaged Lawrence student
The new manner was just veneer.
Richard had been expecting it to wear
thin.
Il think" interjected Richard, that
we all agree with Mr.. Marshall. Mr..
Hardin, that wooden headgate on silt
foundation could never be more than
makeshift l understood that the
first day he visited the river with you
he had the idea to put the ultimate
gate, the gate which would control the
water supply of the valley, up at the
Crossing on rock foundation. Mr.. Mar
shall does not expect to finish that in
time to be of first use. He hopes the
wooden gate will solve the immediate
problem. 1t was a case of any port in
a storm. He has asked me to report
my opinion"
"Why doesn't he give me chance
to go ahead then" growled the de-
posed manager. Instead of letting
the intake widen until 1t will be an Inn
to confine the river there
at all?"

FIVE-YEAR JUBILEE
W CT U PROGRAM
Drive Launched on March goth For
One Million Dollars In Interest
OF Prohibition.

When on March goth, in almost
every city and hamlet in the United
States, the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union began it's five-year ju-
bilee program by service of prayer
and jubilee, it marked an epoch in
the march of prohibition little dream
ed Of by some of the earliest leaders;
ratification of national constitutional
prohibition and immediate work for
prohibition for the world.
The day chosen for the beginning
of the jubilee was the anniversary
of the birthday of Neal Dow, often
referred to as the Father of Prohi-
bition. White ribbons everywhere
also on that day honored Mrs. Lii
lian M. N. Stevens, who was asso.
ciated with Neal Dow in the latter
years of his work, and who was for
sixteen years president CT the Nation
al Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
The flve-year program OF the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
began on March Goth with a ten
weeks drive for one million dollars,
which will be used in continued tenn
perance work in America, that liquor
interests may not be able to repeal
or nullify the prohibition law, fol-
Americanization, Child Welfare
Moral Education, and to send mis-
sionaries and workers across the seas
in the work of world prohibition.
The country has been divided into
ten sections. Every state has beer
given its quota, and for ten weeks
ten national field representatives will
tour the country in the interest Of
the drive, while mass meetings anG
