while Mrs. Camel and the Baby were
back in the zoo house. Leading from

quite quiet in the house. q, IL,
"Mrs. Camel wanted to be alone
with the baby and have mother-and-
baby talks. .,..
"She liked to chat with Mr.. Camel,
but If he came around he would be
jealous, she knew. 81,

fence put up between Mr.. Camefs
yard and Mrs. Camel's house where
she and the baby were.
"Mr. Camel could talk to his mate
all he wanted to and she could talk
to him, and he could look at the baby.
He liked to wander over from his
yard every few minutes or so and
gaze at the little camel baby.
"He liked to take great interest,
and he wanted to ask his mate, from
time to time, how everything was in
her place-even though he could see.
"Yes, this was the way he liked it.
He liked to be able to chat with Mrs.
Camel and he liked to be able to see
his small son but he was better of
being separated by the fence-like par
tition over which he could see but
through which he could not so.
"For If he were able to 60 near the

boy baby better than she did a girl

daughter.
"Yes, that was the way it would
always be-if there were a girl baby
he would pet it more than Mrs. Camel
and with boy baby she was petting
it more, and he was missing some OF
the attention he usually received.
$50 he was pleased with the way
things were. He could not act upon
any jealous feelings he might have,
He could not hurt his sOn-and looking
at him now he knew that really he
did not want to hurt him.
"He talked to Mrs. Camel and she
talked to him. They had little grunt-

happy. ...,
They're not letting people see
me yet said Mrs. Camel. They're
leaving me with my baby and only the
keepers are watching us. They're le:-

dear little ways. They're not going to
let me get nervous and worn out
keeping my baby from the crowds
who'd put their fingers through to
stroke him. That's all very well after
a little while, but at the first want

rying so young1 Naturally, however,
he did not tell this to Theodore. he
was not unkindly enough for that, and
besides, 1t was he vho had asked her
to marry him. She had not been over
ly anxious at first. Arthur, though
economical, was just. ,
And then, as by horrifylng mir
acle, the thing happened.
The little baby, for whose ward
robe Arthur's precious dime and pen
ny banks had been .rifled, at last ar
rived. 1t hovered for only one brief
hour in this unlovely world, and then,
clasping Theodora's hand, wandered
back again into the great unknown
from whence 1t came.
They buried Theodore with her
baby hugged to her bosom. -
The lips that he had loved were
curved in their wonted smile; her
hair, smooth and satiny like birds.
wing, was brushed smoothly back,
and the clear brown eyes were closed
forever.
It was Theodora's mother who gave
the money for simple monument.
She wanted to do that much, she said,
for her daughters memory; but she
did not tell Arthur that she took mon
ey which should have gone instead to
pay a long-standing grocer's BILL 1t
was easy to see where poor Theodore
got some of her shiftless habits. !.
And so 1t happened that Arthur
Brooks commenced life anew with
much wisdom and no membranes.
It was a snowy night, and there
were gathered about the wide fire
place In the library at the club several
men, rather good friends, all of them.
The club itself spoke eloquently of
the wealth which supported it. There
were long mahogany reading tables
lighted by red-shaded electroliers,
great leather easy chairs, and thick
rugs which cost fabulous prices. Only
a rich man could afford to- seek en-
trance here.
Yet, as it often happens even
among rich men, these friends, grown
communicative under. the gentle stlm-
ulus of their after-dlnner cigars. were
discussing the cost Of living and the
financial aspects Of married life. One,
a robust, red-cheeked old fellow, ex-
panded genially for the benefit Of his
attentive audience.
ST was poor as Jobs turkey when
I got married." he asserted earnestly.
1--WE had uphill work Of 1t for twenty
years, my wife and I. Just as soon's
we'd get a little something, there'd

Stree, not one I'd do the same thing
over again. I'd advise any, man to
marry young, If he finds the one girl
he can love. You see, 1t makes all the
difference In the world when you have
each other"
A young man sitting near the fire
laughed suddenly. He rose, stretched
himself lazily, and yawnedI

"What's your opinion, Brooks? I'm
right, am I not?'
He turned for confirmation to an
other one Of the party.
But the man whom he addressed did
not answer.
Arthur Brooks pillowed his head in
his arms on the polished mahogany
table and uttered stiaed groan.

 on Cotton Loans Soon

Washington, July 16. - Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board announced today he has called con- ference here for Tuesday of the gov ernors of the five reserve banks in the great cotton producing sections of the country to adopt uniform policy on cotton loans during the coming marketing season.
 Governors of the reserve banks of Richmond, Dallas, Atlanta, St. Louis, and Kansas City have been invited MT. Harding said.
 The conference, he explained, will work out a uniform policy on cotton loans for the orderly marketing of the crop, and will issue statement back ed by an announcement by the board, which will set forth the cotton loan policy of the five districts for the season.
 Many requests have been received from cotton interests, he said, asking the board to make known it's policy The board does not make loans, and | in order to insure uniformity through | out the cotton sections of the country it was deemed advisable for repre- sentatives of the reserve banks in those districts to meet here and form ulate uniform plan.

MUCH CREAM BEING SHIPPED
Shippers' Faith in the Industry Begins
 to Net Excellent Returns.

Hope, July IS. - Notwithstanding the fact that the Hampstead County Cream Shippers Association was or ganized only about three weeks be- fore the great slump in cream prices. it has continued to ship from 150 to 175 gallons of cream each week, and now there are indications of increas- ing this amount. The big slump also caught one of the creameries to which the association was shipping cream with an overload of butter, and pay ments for the cream were deferred, but even this did not dishearten the shippers. AS a result of their faith in the industry they have not only con- tinued their weekly shipments, but have collected on their back shipments and are now realizing much better price than the low level which cream reached.
 In discussing the cream business, G. w. Dodd, local manager said today that the outlook for the industry is considerably brighter and that he can see no good reason why the ultimate aim of the association to procure a creamery for Hope may not be realiz- ed. He feels that if the Hope trade territory 'will ship 175 gallons of cream under conditions that have pre- vailed for more than two months it would be an easy matter to increase the production favorable condition. With creamery in Hope it would easily be possible to produce from 800 to 500 gallons of cream week.
 we are now conferring with some reliable creamery people witb view of getting creamery established here," said Mir. Dodd, land, while we have not yet interested any one suf- ficiently to have them come and look over the field, we have received en- couraging letters and expect to have Hope closely investigated with view to establishing creamery here in a very short time. The county Is an ideal dairy region and the farmers ought to make the most of their nat ural advantages"
 The fall season is a mighty good time to increase the dairy herd on the farm. for prices are usually good dur ing botN fall and winter season. MT. Dodd would be glad to talk with farm- CTS who are interested in shipping cream.

TAX DODGERS CAUGHT
x2O. .0OO, 900 Added to GOpernment
 Revenue in Penalties.

Washington, July 16.-Approximat- ely $2O,O0O,00O was added to the rev. enue of the government during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921, in ad- ditional taxes, penalties and fines re- sulting fro mthe discovery of false tax returns, the Bureau of Internal Revenue announced today.
 Fraud by way of filing false and fraudulent tax returns appears in many unique ways, bureau officials say. Some taxpayers are extremely crude in their methods and reduce their taxes by merely emitting large items of income from their returns. Thus in one instance merchant in one of the larger cities owned and operated two stores. For three years straight he omitted from his returns the income of one of two stores.
 In another instance a man received approximately one-half of his income as salary from a corporation of which he was president ana or WHICH cor- poration he owned practically all the stock. The corporation took this sal- ary as a deduction and necessary ex- pense; the man himself omitted to re- port this salary, never thinking that the corporations return would be checked on his individual return.
 During the past year many jail sen- tences have been imposed, ranging from 60 days to one year, in addition to the fines and penalties. Indict- ments have been returned during the past year in practically every section of the United States and many of the cases are now awaiting trial at the fall term. .-s--a .-- -

Aetna Saturday evening.
The still which has capacity esti-
mated at 800 gallons daily. was dis
mantled after some tedious labor, and
dragged by four horses over three miles
of sand dunes, placed on a hay rack
and brought u the Gary police station
where It has been reassembled and to-
day was viewed by hundreds OF curious
people who fiocked to station to see It.

citent about giving out they are still
working on the case in an effort TO To-
cate the owners. When they arrived
a the scene where the still was located
they found the place deserted and UP to
noon today no arrests had been made.
According to reliable information. the
still was a $4,000 proposition or rath
er incorporation although not conducted
under the laws of the state of Indiana.
1t is said that a number of men put in
so many hundred or thousand dollars
apiece and but for the Gary police they
would have realized handsome profits
from the sale of the whisky.
The still IS perfect in every detail.
Although miniature in size and capacity
1t was built along the lines of those in
bonihde distilIeries and its builder evi-
IDENTIFY knew considerable about making

tanks which connected TO a series OF
burners beneath the massive 400 gallon
boiler containing the mash. Included
in the equipment the police found the

They found the still located in a dug
out at the top Of a sand hill nearly $50
feet high.
The still room was dug out some 30
feet square and ten feet high. Trunks

BALLOT
COUNTING
IS STARTED

The special commissioners appointed
by Judge Reiter 10 recount the ballots
cast for City Judge in the East Chica-
go primary election started on their
long grind this forenoon. The recount
was requested by Attorney Michael Hav-
ran who was just one vote behind Judge
Hyman Cohen who received 3.201 ac
cording to the East chicago election
board
The commissioners had not complet
ed the first precinct at noon today. This
is by far the largest precinct IN the
city. Havran there received 242 votes
and Cohen 522 in the first count Pro-
tests were registered against more than
pwenty ballots. the two contestants
suffering about equal losses Most OF
these were due to the fact that only one
inspector had placed his initials on the
outside of the ballot. Several cases
were found in which voters had placed
their initials on the face of the ballot
while in one instance the voter had put
his mark after each of the three can
didates names.
The recount will probably require the
rest of this week, judging from the pro
sress which was made today. At the
completion Of the count of each precinct
the disputed ballots which have been
laid aside VIII be taken up and argued
over by the attorneys for the contest
ants
