| nodded an embarrassed accep-
lance of the obliging aviator's invi-
tation. At that, the little Mexican
maid who waited upon me and who
had acted as an interpreter when the
occasion required, slipped away from
my side, and ran swiftly to the patio.
Was she a spy? The idea startled
me- Had she been clever enough to
catch the trend of the grand spec
tacle? Had she gone to warn the col
lapsed administrator?
In a word or two, | gave Morrison
the hint-he passed it on the Jimmy,

panied the preparation for my flight.

But the old housekeeper had
snatched her up-and my heart stop
ped its beating Was the woman
growing suspicious, too?
Jimmy-boy. as usual, was equal to
the occasion. In lordly but most
genial fashion be begged the priv
lege of taking up the child-for
mascot! And while he talked, he
gently removed the little one from
the old woman's arms, transferred
her to mine, and bound her to me
with a second belt!
And all the young ladies of San
Jose regarded me with envy while
jim, splendid as super-man, ex-
amined my safety-straps.

An excited stirring of the crowd in

the furthest corner of the field. 1t
was caused by the sight of the auto
wheeling into the road which con-
nected the main thoroughfare with
the hacienda.
Off went hundreds of sombreros
and up went a grand huzza! A few
of the servants scurried off to their
proper stations in the establishment
| looked at Morrison and he nudged
jim. Evidently the mysterious per-
sonage who ruled destiny at the
hacienda had come little sooner
than he was expected.

go" | pleaded clutching Babs close
to my heart.
Jim climbed into his seat and seiz-
ed the joy-stick. Morrison stepped
away from the car to give US room.
His right hand dropped into his gun
pocket He was guarding me to the
last And he saw, what | saw, the
figure of the administrator emerging
from the patio. Something was shin
ing in his right hand. The long whine
of bullet close to my ears, told me
what it was. The "bus" began to
taxi, and l couldn't see Morrison but
| knew he was too canny to get into
trouble recklessly.
Jim is a person of much delbera-
ton. He never moves quickly but
he never makes a useless or a futile
movement. He TAXED along a path

Motor Vehicle Tags
May Pay Vets Pensions

ATLANTA, Geb. Whether the
state can use temporarily for other
purposes the funds arising from the
sale of motor vehicle license tags,
which are specifically set apart for
the state highway department, is a
question that has been raised at the
capitol in connection with the forth
coming payment of nearly $65O,000
of pensions to Confederate soldiers.
If the state can use a part or all.
temporarily, of the automobile fund,
the pension payment probably can be
made without borrowing from the
banks. If not, it will probably be
necessary for the governor to make
a temporary bank loan, as he has au-
thority to do when necessary, up to
limit of $500,000.
In the last thirty days the sale of
motor vehicle license tags has been
quite brisk, and several hundred
thousand dollars have accumulated in
the fund.
Whether it can be used temporarily
will depend upon a ruling to be made
by Attorney General Clifford H.
Walker.

Church Stewards
Plan Campaign

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 13.-The
month of February will be devoted
to the steward campaign eliminating
in Stewardship Enrolment Day on
Sunday, February % by the South
eastern division of the Interchurch
We'd movement, it has just been an
nounced here
Two special prayer periods for
February have been set aside, Friday,
February goth, being designated as
United States Day of Prayer of Home
Societies and Sunday, February 20
as Life Enlistmen Day" and DAY
of Prayer" for students. This latter
date will be observed especially in
the colleges.
The two great detectives of the
stewardship department, according to
officials here, are to lay upon the
conscience of the churches the princi-
pies of Christian stewardship and to
secure a definite response to this eff
fort through the enrolment of a
league of ten million Christian stew
ards, acknowledging God ownership
and mans stewardship and express
ing their solemn purpose to set apart
a definite portion of their income for
the extension of the cause Of Christ
ianity.
Practical methods for the promo
ton of the stewardship educational
period month are being employed
by the national stewardship depart
ment. Already 49,821 letters have
been mailed to pastors and other lead
ers of eleven denominations. Thir-
teen other denominations are draft
ing letters to be sent to their respect

HEDGING.

Under the law The united STATES
Grain Corporation will go out Of
business on June 1. and the wheat
price guarantee for which provision
is made in. the same law will expire
On that date. Thereafter wheat will
be handled as it was before the war,
on the basis OF it's value. or supposed
value, as IA commodity, unaffected by
government regulations.
I Since the guarantee law went into
effect the price Of wheat has exceed
"a the guaranteed price, very often,

Tin. When the law vas enacted a
large appropriation was provided out
of which the Grain Corporation could
meet the difference between the guar
iced price and the actual market
price in case the latter were lower
than the formers 1t has not been
necessary to draw on the fund for
hat purpose. Because the margin
has been the other way it has often
heeh said that the guarantee was of
no value. 1t would be practically i'm
possible to make a conclusive DEM
onstration Of either the affirmative or
the negative. But it is certain that
the guarantee has had a stabilidng
ehect on h price, and has prevented
the wide fluctuations which would
have been certain had the price been
left entirely to chance, and to the
spasmodic competition of govern
ments which would have been in the
market. n day and out of it the
next.
Now that we are about to revert
to- the former status an effort is be-
ing made ITO restore some features Of
the former system of free exchange
trading, and especially the practice Of
hsdging, Which vas prevalent wher-
ever wheat was being handled in
large quantities.
IT is a matter of common knowl-
edge that large purchasers of wheat
for milling or storage hedged their
purchases by selling equal quantities
at the time of their purchases. In
this way they were able to restrict
themselves to the particular business
in which they were engaged, that OF
grinding or storing wheat, They
were not. obliged to add to the ordi-
nary risks of these lines of business
the risk of price fluctuations which,
operating in me direction, might
yield them larger profits, and lin the
other. would cause them SERIOUS loss.
The miller, for instance, having
hed5ed his purchase was Indifferent
whether the price went up or down.
He made no profit and he sustained
no loss: He could devote himself to
the business Of milling, collect his
fees for that service, and let the
speculative element take care of it.
self.
Without this opportunity he would
have been obliged to allow himself
a larger margin. lin order to protect
himself against possible loss, and the
result would have been a wider
spread between the price paid to the
producer and that charged the con-
sNfner. Hence it is the opinion of
nten most closely associated with the
Wheat trade. that provision should be
naade for the resumption of this prac-
tee by the time that the government
relinQuiehes control. $50
