cover with buttered cracker crumbs
and bake Just long enough to melt
the cheese. not to string it into an

of saches or scents Of any kind.

 self growing into a rut and losing
 the responsiveness of his early
 business days. His employer.
 Horace Callahan, a big man in
 every way, sees this and sends
 him to Cuba to reopen a power-
 plant that has been closed be-
 cause the planters in the neigh
 borhood for some reason refused
 to buy power. Ward goes and
 finds the plant half a wreck from
 disuSe and rust. But he takes
 hold. Needing 8 competent fore
 han he sends for a man he has
 heard of, Jerry Corners, master
 mechanic of one of the biggest
 mills nearby. Jerry, an Ameri-
 can, agrees to take charge of the
 mechanical part of the job, and
 hints that there is something
 back of the planters refusal to
 use power. an influence he will
 find it hard to combat.
 (Continued From Yesterday)
 You could have had it five mDn- utes ago." said Corners. While I canter out to tell my boss that his services are no longer required, you can put my name right down on the pay roll. MT. Armstrong, I'm for you. and with you!'
 Armstrong looked at him shre~G- ly.
 "Fine!" He said. But why the %
 'Because," returned Corners re- turning the look. "I size you up as C. live one and Pm tired working for men who let a cheap crook walk all over them Besides." he added grim ming, T love a fight as my name and hair might tell you, and if you are are in for good one. take it from me-"
 CHAPTER II.
 Armstrong Takes Hold.
 When Corners left. Armstrong into the patio and scanned the hil1sides. Then his gaze fell to a small red automobile in the stable. He examined the tires. poked his head under the hood, satisfying himself that the engine was in running order. and returned to the hotel. Senor Ricardo admitted that the autom obile was his and agreed to rent 1t for the "disgracefully small'' sum or one dollar an hour.
 Glancing quickly up and down the valley again to reassure himself that the hill he had obserbed was the highest point within reach of the vi1- lage, Armstrong motored to the base of 1t and climbed the winding foot path to the summit.
 The air was crystal clear. and the prominence gave him a wide view or the valley in both directions. He sat down on a rock and studied out the situation thoughtfully. To the north. perhaps ten miles distat, the valley apparently being choked with jungle growth at that point.
 In the opposite direction, a distance of about twenty-five miles he dist1n- guished the blue, of the ocean and the white blotch which marked the location of Guanatara. Sugar mills. not yet in operation, dotted the valley as far as he could see.
 Descending the hill he cranked the engine and climbed into the hard seat. The panorama left him with but one impressions: The possibilities which lay in Guanatara Valley were not to be confined to the power plant alone. He wanted the entire region. from the jungle to the harbor of to feel the weight of his presence.

Government Starts New
 Stock Reporting Service

Washington, Nov. 20.-(A. PA new live stock reporting service for for forecasting current live stock pro- duction, marketable supplies and commercial movements has been or ganized by the Department of Agri- culture. The service will cover the Corn Belt and the western range states and will function through state statisticians already connected with the departments crop estimate work. The cooperation of many railroads. stock yards, packing plants and pro- ducers organizations for furnishing data as a basis for forecasting has been obtained.
 The new service is part of the de- partment's program for collecting and disseminating information bearing up- on agriculture, in an effort to infTu- ence the organization of the farm business on a sound economic basis. It is believed that statistics on pres ent and prospective live stock produc- ton and information of current market movements will enable purchasers better to correlate supply with de- mand. thereby preventing gluts or shortages and the attending fluctua- tionS in prices.

BEATING THE
 BOSS AT HIS
 OWN GAME: ]:

Berlin, Nov. 2O.--(A. P.)-East Af- rican superstition and ingenuity are amusingly illustrated in an incident related by the German colonel, pr. E. Nigmann. in his memoirs of the days when he was in charge of colonial ad- ministration in that part of the world.
 One of his most reliable aides, he says, was a native lieutenant colonel who had lost an eye during one of the local expeditions, and wore a glass one in it's place. This officer was as- signed to superintend the erection of @ post office in a rural district. The inhabitants had long been delinquent in tax payments, and consequently each male adult was required to meet weeks labor on the new government building.
 One day while the native laborers were industriously at work under his vigilant watch, the lieutenant colonel was temporarily called away. On leaving the building, he took out the glass eye, placed it on one of the walls, and announced to the workers: Look here, my anen. I must go tab on you and to see that you keep working while I am away"
 It was with considerable self-satis- faction that he returned to find his gang hard at work.
 Next day the 1ieuteant-colonel had another summons to leave his post. Again he placed the glass eye in charge and left. Returning, he mo- ticed from afar that building opera tions were at a standstill and all of his duslzy help snoring peacefully. Upon looking for his foreman" eye. he found it carefully covered with an old hat.

ENGLISH FARMERS TOLD ID EXPECT
 SOME HARD TIMES

London, Nov. 20-(A. P.)-"Agri- culture cannot be made to pay any longer in England on the lines follow ed the past under present condl- tions" said Sir Arthur Boscawen in the last speech he made as Minister of Agriculture. While he was talk ing to the members of the Farmers Union about the hard times that were inevitably in store for the majority of them, Premier Lloyd George hand ed in his resignation to the King ana Sir Arthur automatically became an eX-minister.
 His speech, as he admitted himself, contained only "cold comfort for those who had to get their livings from the land" Some farmers. he proph- esied, would go under, and there would be acute distress in the country districts before prosperity could re- turn.
 "There may be future for the dairy farmers" he said, land live stock farming generally may be able to pay fairly well in time, but for the arabic farm mers-the corn growers can see only a gloomy outIook. Re- ferring to the views of one of his pre- decessors in office, he said:-"Lord Ailwyn probably was right in thinking that much arabic land will become grass; that the rural districts will De depopulated and that there will be great misery among farmers and thelr laborers."
 According to his own survey Of the state of agriculture, its future seemed to lie in large farms in favorable dis tricts, cultivated as cheaply as possi- ble, with patches of intensively culti- vated land.
 'FWhat can the government do?" he asked, there are only two remedies protection or subsidies"
 The farmers showed plainly which of the two remedies they preferred by cheering loudly the mention of pro tection," and greeting subsidies" with yociferous cries of dissent. But Sir Arthur would not allow the poor far mers to comfort themselves with any false hopes.
 "It would be dishonest to suggest, he declared, "that at the present time either remedy is practical. The agricultural interests have com paratively small representation in the House of Commons, which Is per- manently urban in character. The government may adopt some pallia- tives, but it will insist that agrlcul- ture must work out its own salvation on an economic basis.

DesOlatiOn Island Is
 Goal of Seal Hunters

Paris. Nov. 2o.-(A. P.)-Kergue- len Land or Desolation Island. in the Indian Ocean, halfway between South Africa and Australia, is soon to have one of it's infrequent visits from the white man..
 French expedition now is being organized for a six months stay, bent on making the biggest possible killing Of sea elephants and sea leopards. two types of large seals found in those waters. Opposition to the trip has developed among humanitarians and scientists. for the sea elephant in par icular faces extinction. The last ex- petition in 1908 killed 2,249 sea ele- phants in ten days work, and brought back 150 tons of valuable oil.
 Kerguelen Land has a curious his- tory. Captain Cook the British navi- gator, while cruising in the Antarctic Sea suddenly came upon this deary isl- and, covered with moss and unproduc- tive. although long drought to be un- derlaid with coal beds. He landed and was about to take possession of it in the name of his King, when he found a French flag flying, raised by De Kerguelen shortly before. prob swallowed his disappointment and in his log book recorded only that he landed on ''Desolation Island," ignor- ing the Frenchman's visit.
 Years later an inquiry reached the French naval office, asking for infor- nation about the Island of Kerguelen. The naval department searched it's rec ords, high and low, but found noth- ing. The question was referred to the British Admiralty with a request for an answer, which came in a few days. The island was identified by the Brit ish as the one registered on French charts as Desolation Island.
 American wha1ers visited the island early in the 18th century, for old hluhhar stations xuifh naIlIdrn1e rlr ed New London" were found there in 1925.
