Dale faced to the right and saw,
coming toward him with steps that
would have measured almost four
feet, the tallest and lankieSt individ-
ual he had ever seen outside a circus.
The newcomer had a smoothly shaven
chin, his cOal-black hair was long and
his long muStache completely hid the
narrow slit that was his mouth. In
one hand he carried a repeating rifle.
"Who's that?" Dale half whispered.
That's BY Heck" answered the
girl. She continued In low voice,
His names Sam Heck; but pap. he
called him BY Heck one day, and the
nickname stuck to him like molaSSes.

URGES GUARANTEE
OF FARM CROPS
Plan Before Committee
Would Make U. S. Govern
ment Produce Dealer.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
PIERRE, s. D.. August "a plan
which its exponents claim would stab
ilize the prices Of farm products has
recently been presented to the Senate
agricultural committee at Washing
ton. 1t has likewise passed the lower
house of the South Dakota legisla-
ture and been indorsed by financial
and farming associations.
According to Will H. Lyon of Sioux
Falls, 8. D., the plans author, it will
not. only stabilize the price OF farm
products, but will go farther and stab
ilize business In general, to great
extent.
In explaining the plan, Mr.. Lyon
"The stabilization plan would have
the national government guarantee to
farmers the average cost of producing
staple, non-perishable crops, plus a
reasonable profit, by agreeing to pur-
chase whatever surplus remains on
hand at the end of the crop year, de-
livered at certain central terminals
and at a stipulated minimum price.
Surplus Called Small
This surplus In every staple crsp.
except wheat and cotton, is so small
that the amount OF money REQUIRED
would be insignificant in comparison
with the value of the entire crop.
IF the surplus of any crop should
prove excessive the stabiliZing COM
mission, fairly representing both pro
ducers and consumers, appointed Dy
the President, would probably reduce
the price for the following year and
increase the price of other products In
which a shortage might exist and
thereby induce our farmers TO IN
crease production of FAX, wool ana
sugar, which we now SO largely i'm
port, at a cost of several hundred mil
lion dollars year.
Must Control Imports.
The government, under the plan.
must necessarily control the imports
of such products and through the
stabilizing commission would pur-
chase abroad, at the world price level,
any deficit required, and sell to our
manufacturers at not less than the
guaranteed price (except that intend
ed for export), thereby making profit
of the difference between the cost
and selling price. Speculation In FOOD
products so abhorrent to the general
public would, of course, be automati-
cally eliminated below the guaranteed
price.
Now, when the farmer succeeds in
producing a crop he does not know
whether to sell for fear the price will
go down, or hold for a better mar
ket Knowing in advance the guaran-
teed minimum price of the various
products. the farmer can use his land
and ability to the best possible ad-
vantage. and the rental and salable
value Of land will be largely stabiliz-
ed. The guaranteed minimum price. of
course. should not be made sufficient
ly high to induce speculation in farm
lands or produce an excessive sur
plus.
Under the stabilizing plan the
farmer would receive the same price
regardless of road conditions. Under
the present system the highest price
usually prevails when roads are bad
or elevators congested and delivery
is difficult or impossible. When these
conditions improve the price goes
down."

charging Illegal sales of liquor and the
larceny of two barrels of whiskey It is
charged that the whiskey was stolen
from Pasquale Albano. a driver for Car

last week by Giuseppe Parisi.
An official theory of the garage holdup
has it that Hart, having knowledge that
a truckload of liquor was being sent in
to this city and that it would be trans
shipped to a Massachusetts truck south
of the Connecticut state line. sent truck
to take the liquor at the point of rendez-
vous and obtained the liquor from the
