Editor Hume of The Chiffon Times,
makes a statement relative TO the seat
ing of Senator Newberry, Michigan,
with which The Pilot is in hearty ac-
cord: Public opinion has already
passed judgment in this case" Wis
consin knows that seats in the senate
have been bought.

And then the leader of state papers,
The Milwaukee Journal makes clear
the issue insofar as Wisconsin in con-
cerned when it says: "The Newber-

At last the flivver has been immor- talized!
 The familiar ''tin Lizzie" has suc- cessfully charged Ats attackers shafts of ridicule and thrown up q strong defense of honor and glory.
 Such is the achievement in the new Paramount picture Across the Con< tinent," starring Wallace Reid which opened at the Palace this afternoon. It is beyond doubt the best automobile racing story in which this popular star has been seen.
 Mary MacLaren, leading woman and former star, supplies the romance and shows no little pluck by sitting at the stars side as mechanician as he tears over the roads at terrific pace. Oth- CTS in the cast are Betty Francisco, Walter Long, Lucien Littlefeld, Jack Herbert Guy Oliver and Sidney D'Al. brook.

Grain Stores Increasingly
 May Disappear in 1928

Kharkov. Oct. 12.-Poverty and plenty today run hand in hand along the railroads in the Ukraine, a coun. try once known as the granary of Europe. There are bulging ware houses of grain at some stations, none at all at others, while beggars be- siege the passenger trains at every village.
 The Ukraine this year as last can. not produce enough food for it's own people, The grain crops for 1922 are only about 50 per cent of normal, and Soviet officials frankly admit that out side aid from relief organizations is necessary until next spring at least, especially among the children in the villages. The peasants, say the of f1cials, are quite able to take care of themselves, excepting in the scattered districts where there was a crop fail- ure due to drouth or lack of seeds last, season.
 There are splendid crops this year in few districts in the northern part of the Ukraine-equally as good as in normal times. But in the south great stretcher of land were affected by hot weather and there is not near by enough bread stuffs to go around. Ukrainian officials say that. with the aid of the central Soviet government they are making arrangements to transport 100000 poods of grain from the north to the south.
 From districts where food has been scarce even in summer, people have been flocking to the towns. As a re- suit there are as many beggars in the

They resemble the pictures of hungry natives of h. dia, and appear barely able to move about. In the poorer districts the village dogs, too, have become beg gars, like the dogs of India-gaunt, mangy creatures that eat ravenously even the cantaloupe and apple peal ings throv'n from the car windows.
 In ado ion to Its fair grain crop in the North this season. the Ukraine has produced also about 13,0o0,000 poods of beet sugar, three times more than last season. but barely enough for the 3o,oo0,ooo inhabitants of the Ukraine Soviet republic itself
 Ukrainian officials say they have plenty of potatoes this year, and that from present indications of the fall planting there are prospects of nearly a normal grain crop for 1923. This, they believe, would put the country on its feet again.

 We'll, Farmer Green gave him a queer look, then said, Show mel"
 Johnnie ran ahead, to the garden. And there, pointing 10 the loose dirt he said, See 'en ?''
 His father took one look at what seemed to be the prints of baby s bare feet. And then he laughed.
 "'Twas coon that made those tracks my boy"
 But what was it that I heard cry ing in the night?"
 "A coon,' Farmer Green repeated.

JOHNNIE GREEN HEARS A CRY
 IN THE NIGHT.

Johnnie Green was a sound sleeper. Almost always he slept the whole night through without once stirring. But once in a while something would rouse him out of his slumbers and then he would lie awake for a time in his little room under the caves and listen to the katydids making their music, or the frogs giving their night ly concert. Sometimes he would hear Solomon Owls unearthly laugn- ter, or Solomon's cousin, Simon Screecher's quavering whistle.
 Johnnie Green learned to know the night noises-most of them. But there came night when he heard a sound that made him sit right up in his bed. ..
 My goodness," he exclaimed. And leaping out into the chilly night, he battered downstairs and called. Father. Mother"
 We'll, the Green family had been abed for hours. It was no wonder that Johnnie's parents were startled
 What is it? Whats the matter ?' Farmer Green cried as he dashed in to the kitchen, with his wife follow ing him with lighted candle Farm CT Green reached for the old gun above the chimney piece. "1s there fox in the henhouse? 2" he asked John- nie breathlessly.
 "No Father" sad Johnnie. Not that. But I'm sure I heard a baby whimperine somewhere out of doors"
 His father hung the gun back on the hooks where he always kept it.
 "Hom he said. You've been dreaming. Get back to bed, and go to sleep"
 Feeling somewhat sheepish, John- nie Green climbed the stairs and crawled under his bed-covers. Just as he was getting drowsy he heard that fretful wall again,
 Johnnie pinched himself.
 I'm certainly awake" he said. ''There's a baby out there. I know there is"
 Once more he went downstairs. Once more Farmer Green told him to go back to bed. and said, "Nonsense" and "Fudge." and a number of other words. all of which meant about the same thing.
 So Johnnie Green went to bed. And
 
 this time he fell asleep without hear ing the strange cry again.
 Meanwhile something-or some body-was moving across the field on his way to the patch of sweet corn that grew at one end of the vegetable garden. When he reached the corn he stood on his hind legs. And stretching up his fore paws, he pulled down a stalk of corn and broke off an ear, which he husked neatly, then ate it.

CINDERELLA SALLY
 
SALLY AGAIN SEES HARRY
 STANLEY
BY ZOE BECKLEY.

Harry Stanley! Sally, with flushing face that changed her pink rouge to ruby, turned over the card to find there scribbled in an eager hand: "Oh, Sally, If you remember me, please see me-for auld lang syne. Harry"
 Harry Stanley, the nice, friendly boy who had taken her part again. his mother! Who took no notice of a slaveys garb but was kind to her "a drudge. The first human being to whom she had been more than "Cinders!'
 "Oh, do tell him to come in,' she cried eagerly to the stagehand, who nodded and left. My only-the first friend I ever had" she said, her eyes suffused, turning to Lucy Bonnet and tonight, of all times."
 "You'll have tp put him off, Miss Sally" Canby's voice came coldly. You're engaged-"@
 Not for anything"
 The little financial packer of the Frolics stared at the country girl who
  a schoolboy. His eyes narrowed
 "All right" he said indifferently, suit yourself" He turned and be- gan to talk to Lois Fern, the regal chorus lady who had prophesied Sal ly's danger. Sally saw depression settle upon Goldens uneasy face. He came to her.
 Don't be too brusaue with Canby," he said in a low tone. "He-he's rather important to the outfit. Play along. You'll ind him fair in the main.''
 Before Sally could answer Harry Stanley came hurrying up, his face radiant with pride. The others saw a wholesome college boy with the budding seriousness of a lad about to go out into life.
 Pretty as picture, Sally! By gosh, how glad I am to see you. Gee "a picture!'
 Sally seized his outheld hands.
 Picture of a scared cat, Mr. Harry" she laughed. "If you only knew what it means tA see face out of the old times"
 Golden watched with interest this picture of fresh gladness. Sally turned to Lucy Bonnet.
 This is Harry Stanley, Miss Ben net. worked for his mother once. He was always as nice as-as sun light to mel" She said it with such

simple sincerity that even Canby listened with respect.
 You weren't hard to be nice to-" grinned Harry, shaking hands with Lucy, But unable to take his eyes of Sally. T was afraid you'd be too proud to see a kid from college on such night of triumph.
 T say, let me do the stage-doo Johnny stuff, will you. Sally, and you and Miss Bonnet trot along with me to some spiffy luncheon for sand Wich and a sarsaparilla!"
 Even in his eagerness he noted the embarrassing pause. Canby turned to see how Sally would take the invita- tion. Golden was obviously i'll at ease. Miss Bonnet herself was at a loss. It was Sally who jumped into the breach
 "1'd love to, butt don't know what to do. MT. Canby has already asked us to his house" Canby turned urbanely to them:
 Perhaps Mr.-Stanley will come with us.' he said politely.
 That settles it.' cried Sally joy ously, well all go."

The Fear That Troubled Madge
 Upon the Road


 "Ah. Rosalind Z" Lillian said light ly, sweeping me with a critical eye as came into the library sarbed 1T my knickerbocker suit, topped b, Dicky's hat and coat, the costume she had requested. You're certainly moi a very convincing looking man, ever though you are, as you probably know, most fetching in that rig, But l think you'll pass at the car wheel and that's all that's necessary Did you drink your coffee?"
 T forgot" l said truthfully, for my bit of unpleasant retrospection in Dickv's room had put all thought Of her injunction out of my mind. '1'n get it directly"
 I hurried to the door glad, indeed of the chance to escape Tom Ches- ter's eyes, which, filled with disap- prova of both my costume and my proposed escort of him, had been fixed upon me from the second of my en- trance.
 See that you do." Lillian called after me. and in the kitchen I duti- fully ate and drank as she had bid- den me, although l never had felt less appetite for food or drink. Lil- lian came to the kitchen before I had finished
 "Dr Petit will go out and relieve Bevins at once," she said. When Bevins comes in l want you to take him out to Dicky's car. He'll tinker 1t up, and then we'll be all ready for whatever develops"
 She did Bevins' mechanical ability but simple justice. Tacturn, but as swift of action as he was slow of speech, he went over the car with a practiced hand, made a mysterious adjustment or two, and delivered a laconic dictum:
 "She'll do for twenty miles or so," he said, but you'll have to drive her carefully, and you ought to put her in a garage tomorrow
 A Nervous Wait.
 I thinked him and went back to the library too absorbed in the expedition which lay before me to inquire as to the extent of the injury had done to the car. Dimly I foresaw an un- pleasant minute or two with Dicky if his car should be seriously damaged. but I was too tensely strung for the present emergency to worry about a possibility so remote.
 The tension did not lessen during the next hour, while Lillian, Dr. Pet tit, Tom Chester and I sat in the library waiting for the messenger who should tell of Allen Drake's safe ar- rival at the other end of the route where the strange limousine waited for Smith.
 Lillian did her best to make the oc- casion seem an ordinary one, but pr. Pettit's stiffness Tom Chesters weak
