Her fingers no longer clasped his.
Strength had come back to him, and
his fingers closed down until the blood
went out of hers, but she was wholly
unconscious of the pain. In reality,
she was conscious Of nothing except
the growing fame In his face. II held
her eyes in passionate fascination. His
pupils were contracting to little bright
dots In the gray irises. The jaw was
setting, as she had never seen II be-

"Do you think, Snowblrd, that you'd

He lifted her hand to his lips and
kissed II again and again.
And for the first time he saw the
tears gathering In her dark eyes. But
you fought here, didn't you, Dan?"
she asked with painful slowness. "You
didn't put up your arms--or try to
run away? didn't come till he had
you done, so didn't see." She looked
at him as II her whole Joy of life hung
on his answer.
"Foughti I would have fought TIL

WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Former Service Men Inclined to Be
Too Modest in Appearing In
Army Toys.

Former service men are too modest
to appear In uniform on special occa-
sions, according to letter from a
member of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
"Armistice day brought wseh 1t some
new revelations of viewpoint IN the
wearing of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations and, inasmnch as In
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, | believe the
question should be settled now, one
way or the other. am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as tho
bunch does.
"Since, their discharge the majority
of both officers and enlisted men have
shown more than a little hesitancy In
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit Of the Lee
gion is not manifest in any parade
when the majority of the men appear
In civilian clothes and handful march
In uniform On such occasions the uni
formed man is in an embarrassing p0-
sition, and he vows: Never againr
think modesty is responsible for most
mems preference for 'civvies on formal
occasions, but know that some argue
that they do not want to be in uniform
with bunch of men wearing officers
uniforms and insignia.
Il am sure there is not an ex-officer
in the Legion who would not willingly
discard his insignia If 1t operated as a
barrier to harmony. But let's have
standard rule-either civvies or uni

Certified carloads of Kanred and

certaining how much they want.
Kanred is quoted at $1.25 per bushel

from seed that came last year direct
from Kansas. 1t is possible that the
Farm Bureau may still get its Kanred
from Kansas. Price to be paid for the
Turkey Red has not yet been determ-
ined, according to Morrell.
All wheatgrowers interested in pure
seed should inquire and order through
the County Agent. Inspection of local
fields shows that there is no certified
seed in the county and none to be OBJ
tanned. All imported seed will be over
