railroad bill and union labor was
clamoring for omission of any refer
ence to strikes or arbitration, confer
ence committees of the House and
Senate agreed to submit bill provid-
ing no means of adjustment of labor
difficulties and emitting every refer
ence to the prevention of strikes. The
Farm Bureau spoke the word that it
asserts put the arbitration-adjust-
mentment provision back in the bill
as finally passed over, the protests of
the united labor unions.
Still another illustration of how
the Farm Bureau has been on the job
for the farmers of all sections of the
country is an incident in connection
with the Agricultural Appropriations
Bill. One day just at the close of the
session, when only five members
were on the floor Of the Senate and
after all hearings Of the agricultural
committees were over and there was
no time for discussion, an amendment
to the bill was introduced whereby
the number of cotton grades permit
ted by law would be reduced just half.
No wthis amendment would mean
nothing to corn belt farmer who
might hear of it. Nor would it get
potato grower of Maine or an or
chardman in Oregon at all excited.
But to the cotton farmer of the South
it was of fundamental importance. In
days of old this last-minute plan may
have morked. But no more.
When the Farm Bureau discovered
what had happened, it took prompt
action. Gray Silver wrote letter to
the chairman of the Agricultural
Committee of the Senate, telling him
what had happened and how.
This letter was mimeographed and
copy placed on the desk of every
member of Congress with the declar-
alton that if that amendment went
through without having been acted
on by the regular committee in due
course, the nation would be told how
It had been engineered. The item
was promptly stricken out Of the bill
the Farm Bureau had saved tn day
for the cotton farmers.
One day last spring, when Mr.. Sill
yer came down to his office, he found

potato growers on Long Island. say
ing they were unable to get seed po-
tatoes from Maine. In previous years
seed potatoes had been hauled down
from Maine during the winter, but
this time the blizzards, the car short:
age and the strikes had prevented.
Spring was at hand, the ground ready

Governor Asks s50o,0oo to Aid Pueblo
Sufferers.

Denver-GOyerno Shoup has issued
proclamation In reference to the Ar
kansas valley flood sufferers, calling
upon the people Of the state to COM
plete fund of not less than $500, 900
for the purpose of partially rehabili-
tatlng these suffering fellow citizens
and placing them on the way to self
support"
In his proclamation Governor Shoup
cited the facts that in Pueblo 1000
persons are in absolute want, that the
flood utterly destroyed $50 homes and
wrecked as many more, and that the
unusual nature of the tremendous
damage to the business and farming
interests In the Arkansas valley was
such as to preclude the possibility Of
collecting any insurance.
simultaneously with the issuance OF
Governor Shoup's proclamation, the
directors Of the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association made public q
statement In regard to the Pueblo flood
catastrophe, calling for further and
substantial responses by the citizens
Of Denver and Colorado"

"And ! have given you my heart
long ago. Kiss me. Tom"
They sat there. closely pressed to-
6ether In that narrow space. scarcely
aware any longer Of the danger at
hand, eager only to hear each others
voice. Above the crackle Of the
danes, and the crashing Of falling
timbers, they could distinguish the in
termlttent crack Of rife. and the
echo Of voices calling. Shelby began
to dig with one hand at the pile Of
earth beside him SO as to widen the
space between Its summit and the
roof. The action caused his mind to
revert to the imminent peril Of their
situation.
ut will be all over with before day
light" he said soberly. "and that will
be our chance to get out"
How do you suppose Macklln ever
got through there1" she questioned
wonderingly.
That's what bothers me. Either
he wasn't hurt much, or he had help.
II is my notion the girl brought him
out In some way. The shooting was
an act Of sudden anger, for which she
was sorry the very next moment. They
may be hiding there now, somewhere
In the tunnel"
She lifted herself up and peered
through the opening; the glare Of the
flames did not penetrate beyond the
barrier Of earth and she saw nothing
but impenetrable blackness.

and the hours dragged. The sound of
firing had entirely ceased. and the
shouts Of voices died away one after
the other. Shelby waited patiently,
listening for the slightest sound. but,
at last. could restrain himself no
longer.

said finally. 'yet 1t must be nearly

It was hard, slow work, as Shelby
had to carefully pick his way among

for each foot. They must move noise

fidence the Indians felt In their death

As they turned into the ravine they
obtained a glimpse Of the burned
cabin. One wall yet stood, ragged
against the sky. and there was a CLEAN

spirals OF black smoke were visible.
No moving forms could be perceived

exploration impossible.
