''We'd lose our home. Paul and Johr

"Well. when 1 assure you our be

young man. Nov, If it goes through

Then Reggie told her, in very low
tones, the plan they had concocted.

advised, lighting a cigarette, land

Meanwhile. all unconscious that
Uriah Devon had been released from
prison and was conspiring against

heart and soul into the Salvation

Then Paul Pendlehaven drew Ton

her.

One week after Reginald Curtis
had confided his secret to his moth
er, and she had told 1t over again in
whispers to Katherine, at an hour
when the Pendlehaven brothers were
absent, Uriah Devon came quietly to
the house. Reggie met him and took

"Tll get the money for you tomor-

eyes, "and you mustn't come here
when my cousins are home" She re-
lapsed into silence and then added T:
II warn you against-against Philip
MacCauley too"
Mrs. Curtis had been all eyes and
ears for even the slightest happening
in the Pendlehaven home, since she
had almost stripped her jewel-box
and Katherine's to get the money
Tony's father demanded. Now she
had 1t tucked sway, ready to deliver
It, but as the time went by and she
had no chance to send for Uriah to
come for his daughter, she began to
give up hope that the house would
ever be rid of the presence which was
a constant thorn in her flesh. But 1t
does seem that sooner or later Fate

pened in the case of the conspirators
against Tonnibel Devon. Like all
things waited for, the opportunity
came one day while the family was at
dinner.
Philip MacCauley entered in great

Paul.

"Pardon my rushing in this way, but
but want Tony to go with me-"
Mrs. Curtis flashed him a dark look.
He rarely paid her, or her frowning
daughter, any attention nowadays, 80
he did not notice that pellor settled
on Katherine's face. or that her fork
fell from her limp fingers to the plate

added to his attractiveness.
"You might explain a little more,
my boy" Doctor John spoke up in a
deep voice.
An embarrassed laugh fell from
Philips lips.
There isn't any secret about It,"
he answered. "Tm going abroad for
the Salvation Army for a year, longer
perhaps, and 1t would be too much to
ask me to go all by myself"
Lines appeared between Doctor
Paul's brows. At last the day had
come when he must give up the girl
who had taken rare place among
those he held dearest. He noticed
with a quick sigh that Tony's eyes
deepened softly, and her red lips were
parted In a smile.
'It'll hurry up our marriage a lit

The sound Of a chair scraping back
from the table broke of his state

"Then Wen adjourn and talk It

after the four had left the dining
room. It happened, much to her sur

The memorandum shows that AMI
nesty has been granted to political
Offenders in practically all Allied
countries, either by amnesty DEGREES
or otherwise. America alone has
continued to imprison political and
military offenders. 1t states that it
is difiicult to perceive any argument
against the granting of amnesty here
which would not have applied with
even greater force in any of the Eu-
ropean countries where political Of
tenders have already been released

Sec. OF Title of the Espionage
Act
In France, by legislative enact
ment adopted October 81, 1919, am
nesty was granted with some excep-
tions to all military prisoners.
In Great Britain, while no decree
of general amnesty for political Of
tenders was granted, within years.
time after the termination of hostil-
titles there were few if any persons
in prison in England whose cases fell
within the category of political Of
tenders. In practically all cases of
persons convicted of offenses similar
to those involved in the prosecutions
under our Espionage Act. the SEN
fences were for less than year.
In Canada, on December goth,
1919, proclamation was issued
granting amnesty to all persons i'm.
prisoned or against whom prosecu-
tions were pending for offenses
against the military service act,
1917.
The memorandum contains ex-
cerpts from the amnesty proclama-
tion of Presidents Lincoln and John
son. In connection with these. the
writer's state: "It can scarcely be
argued that the exigencies Of gov
eminent arising from the late war
are at this time greater OR more
serious than those which followed
the Civil War. If amnesty
were then deemed to be policy
which could safely be pursued by the
government. it surely cannot be said
that it would now be less safe. If at
that time the necessity of bringing
about return from the bitterness
of war to the normal sentiments Of
peace seemed compelling argument
in favor of the policy of amnesty,
surely the argument is at least equal
ly strong now"
The attention Of the Attorney
General is called to the fact that the
majority OF these cases were tried
at tim of great public excitement
when the probability of injustice
was very high; that there was sur
prising discrepancy between the
sentences imposed in different dis
tricts for offenses of substantially
the same character; and that these
perons were convicted during state
of war which no longer exists in
fact.

THE NORTH DAKOTA HOME
BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

One of the important state enter
prises in North Dakota is the Home
Building Association. which provid-
es cheap homes on longtime pay
ments for Industrial workers and
other citizens.
The law provides tina. 20 per cent
of the cost of a house and lot must
be paid into the Association by the
home builder, so per cent being pro-
vided by the Association: but where
the cost exceeds $1,000 (the mai-x
mum), all costs in excess of that sum
must be paid by the home builder.
Where the home builder owns lot.
the same is appraised and the APP
praised value of the lot is credited
to his 90 per cent deposit account.
On a $4,000 home. $1,000 is far
nished by the home builder and 81.
900 by the Association; the finished
unit is then worth $4,000. Admin
istrative expense is paid for out Of
interest earned on state-built homes
Under the 2O-year amortization
plan, monthly payments covering
principal and interest are at the
rate OF s7.16 per $1,000 or $2S.65
per month on $4,000. Total pay
ments one year $343SO; total 20
years S6.S76. All material and la
Dor are furnished by the Association
at cost
The past. season fifty-eight houses.
located in four cities and towns have
been constructed-eight of them for,
business and professional men. the
other fifty for wage earners. Only
union labor is employed.
The plan of the North Dakota
Home Builders Association are prac.
tical and successful. Various tyres
of strictly modern houses are con-
tructed: workmanship and mater
ials are first class. Actual costs are
less on account of no contractors
profits being added. and all families
now occupying Association homes
are satisfied.

SOCIALISM --ScARE
CROW USED BY
vESTEDlnT ERESTS

| Interests opposed to the NORTH
Dakota program have raised the
alarm that 1t is 'tsocialistic."
.Why tamper with anything so
dangerous" q is asked, when you
ian get all you want through COOPER
alton anyhow"
But the farmers who have tried
to establish cooperative marketing
were the first to demand state own
ership of marketing facilities. Why?
Because, with all terminals owned
or controlled by private corporations.
cooperatives could not live. The
farmers wanted state-owned mar
keting facilities and the means of
financing them, SO as to assure their
cooperative enterprises a square
deal.
With state-owred marketing facil-
tiles, and fair laws giving coopera-
tive organizations equal protection
with private enterprises, the rights
of all will be amply secured. Mar
keting facilities. equally with trans
portation facilities, are public ntil-
tiles. Public utilities should be
controlled and operated in such a
way as to serve all producers and
all consumers with absolute equity.
thereby, individual, corporate and
cooperative enterprises will all have
square deal-each will be able To
prove its worth. and will find its
proper place in the industrial and
economic system.
Instead of the North Dakota plan
of state-owned marketing facilities
being "socialistic," it is the one
thing most necessary to save private
enterprise from destruction.
In it is to be found the reconcil-
iation between the advocates Of pub
lie ownership and the advocates Of
cooperation. All present indications
point to the conclusion that the
final solution of our marketing
problem lies in cooperative market
ing through public markets.

At first the wheat market showed con-
siderable depression as result of the

the bank failure. For "A while traders

sudden news that Senator Penrose had

lowed, shorts especially taking il for

cally had been assured. including a sub

Corn and oats swayed with wheat
