CHAPTER VIl-Continued.


Vehicles of every kind were drawn
up about it, and as he approached he
saw the spectators clearing from the
track. Then he perceived the horses
galloping round the ellipse.
He worked his way through the mob
to the grandstand, a roughly-construct-
ed hodgepodge of crude uprights and
seats. paid his admission fee, and be-
gan to search it Systematically for
| Sheila. She was not there he assured
| himself of that after a few minutes
Of careful scrutiny. There must have
been a thousand persons present, and
the general disorder upon the course
made his investigation difficult; but
he was resolved to find her.
He began to make his way around
the barriers, scrutinizing the occupants
Of the vehicles. If Sheila was at the
cages, some man had taken her, prob
ably IN a carriage. But Winton's jeal-
0usy was smothered by his concern.
Nearly all Malopo had turned out.
Everybody was drinking and shouting
and yelling as the horses came gallop-
ing home toward the 1ag-decked box
Of the judges. Bookmakers, standing
on chairs, shouted the odds, and ev-
erybody held a racing card in his hands.
A dozen men caught at Winton, offer
ING odds:
''Shylock, three to twol Back the
favorite, gents! Little Boy, nine to
four! Here y'are, mister !"
He shook himself free, growing more
and more somber and resolute as the
restrained, and the sickness in his
heart grew as he thought Of Sheila
there.
How could the girl find pleasure in
such a place? And who was her com
panion?
He looked at the faces of the women
seated in the carriages, and for the
first time he vas conscious of a ter
rible fear. He knew next to nothing
Of Sheila. Suppose he had been mis-
taken and had read in her what was
there-and denied to himself the
existence Of qualities that were evident
to any less infatuated than himself
He recalled the yelled warnings of
Van Beer and Ned.
He had forced himself upon the girl,
and, if he had mistaken her nature
and character, how could he blame
ler2
At last he found her in the middle
afternoon.
She was seated in a smart dog-cart
beside De Witt. He was watching the
ace and shouting vociferously as he
waved his card. His animation owed
/ good deal to the empty bottles of
champagne at his feet. Sheila was
listening to him, and laughing. Win
wondered whether her mirth con
,ealed any deeper feeling; whether she
vas enjoying her situation there.
Why had she gone with De Witt?
His heart began to gallop. He walked
lowly toward them. He understood at
hat moment why men kill each other
the least share in his emotions;
ather it was the sense that death
lone could justify the girls outrage
gainst her better nature.
He did not know what he was going
do. Had he had a revolver he would
robably have fired automatically at
)e Witt, and awakened to find him
cad at his feet. AS it was, the sit
alton was relaxed in just such a COM
1onplace way as ayerts SO many trag-
dies. De Witt recognized him and
odded with surly amicability. Sheila

get a little "het up" over Modern
Matrimony" in which owen Moore,
Selznick star, is to appear at the
Strand theatre May 4th; that is,
they might. If they could keep from
real crouch. For Modern Matri-
mony' takes quite a fling at a lot
of things which these particular
gentlemen do in the pursuit of the
Almighty Dollar.
Victor Herman wrote the story
and then transferred it to the pho
toplay by directing 1t. He
made owen Moore and Alice Lake
a couple of trusting youngsters who
somehow or other became possessed
Of the idea that money was not nee
essary to happiness. He sent them
out to find a place in which to live
and finally planted them in a pretty
little compo board bungalow which
they had been allowed to occupy on
their promise to pay q dollar down
and a dollar every little while. He
also possessed them Of a lot OF nice
furniture on the same modern finan-
cling plan. And then he set of the
fireworks by sticking all the collec-
tors In the everlasting world on
them. Altogether Mr.. Herman de-
vised 4 very interesting little story
and one that is calculated to get

munity whether 1t be In far-o6 Alas

Coach Corbett To Be
Director of Physical
Education at State u

The present rapid growth OF the
University of Wyoming and need for
reorganization and expansion in the
physical training department has re-
suited in the selecting Of Coach John
Corbett. Of the State University. for
the position of Director Of Physical
Education. Under the new arrange
ment William H. (Lone Starr Dietz
becomes the new head of football and
baseball and s. N. Clark, present
coach at Laramie High School, is
head coach of basketball.
The Laramie RepublicaR-Boomer-
ang in commenting editorially On the
reorganization and expansion at the
University Of Wyoming say in part:
Coach John Corbett, who is in the
future to devote himself entirely to
the educational side of the program,
is admirably fitted for 1t by previous
training and long experience. Mr..
Corbett also deserves to be relieved
OF the grind of football, basketball
and all the ather coaching that he
has carried for the last eight years.

MAMMOTH PENNEY
CO. BORN IN WYO.
TWO DECADES AGO

twenty-five years OF service to the
public was completed by the J.. C.
Penney Company on Saturday two
weeks ago. april 12). The Com
pany was founded in 1892 at a small
mining camp in Wyoming and has
grown to the indisputable position of
the worlds largest chain department
store organization.
1t was fitting that the company
should give recognition to its birth
day In some way and decided that
the better way was to give another
community the advantage and pleas
ure Of economical shopping which
this and several hundred other COM
munities have been enjoying.
Hamilton, Missouri, was decided
upon to be the home Of the new
store.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
]. c. Penney. whose name this great
nationwide institution bears, was
born In Hamilton where after the
usual public school training, he Sc
cured his first mercantile experience
in The same building and tho very
same room where he now 10 opening

Associated with Mr.. Penney in the
ownership Of the Hamilton store,
are fourteen men all OF whom we're
born in this Missourian town and
are now connected with the company
as stockholders and managers in
other places.
The store opening was the occasion
OF al enthusiastic homecoming and
was attended by Mr.. Penney. Mr.. J..
NJ. Mcdonald and others Of the COM
pany.
Announcement is made that near
ly one hundred additional stores will

HOW AKERS RAISED
THE SUPERINTEN~
N SALARY

There was a heated discussion in the Pullman smoking
room.
"Heres a human nature tip that has proved itself time and again.
spoke up John Akers, a dentist from beyond the Mississippi. "Get
somebody who is in the public eye to start something and others will
follow him.
"Our county superintendent of schools is a very able fellow, but he
used to have a hard time of getting the board to raise his pay. He's
one of my best friends, so l went to him n day and CAV him a
idea. Dress up 1 said, 'ht the board see that you respect yourself,
you should. Then they'll realize that they can't hold you unless they
pay a salary that's reasonable
public except when he was well dressed. And he gets more and more
pay every year. OF course, he couldn't keep the secret; he told it to
the three ministers in or town, and pretty every n of them
began to dress better and get more pay.
"Then o of tho towns business men began to realize that well
dressed men command respect, to say nothing of bigger patronage
and more money. Do you know, began to be more careful myself,
because felt responsible for the change.

1921, amounting to approximately IA
per cent, which was occasioned by
the depression in business which took
place during 1921 and 1922.
The upward trend in wages has
been due principally to the two war
periods already mentioned. The Pc
Rod of 81 years between 1S43 and
1870, which included the Civil War,
showed an advance of 24S per cent
in average hourly earnings, or an
average yearly increase Of 9.1S per
cent. The 30-year period between
1870 and 1900 obtained only At per
cent increase in earnings, or yearly
rate of increase of about one-sixth
of l.. per cent. The 23-year period
between 1900 and 1923, which in
cluded the World War, produced an
average of 200 per cent in earnings,
or yearly increase rate Of 1851
per cent. The three periods into
which the last 80 years have been
divided roughly represent nearly
three generations in time, and if the
future of wages bears any relation
to the conditions which hav pre-
vailed during the past 80 years, then
we may expect present wages to be
maintained, but not materially in
creased for nearly another generation
in time.

Advertising, Jazz, and Art

The Dial which recently published
a long defense of jazz, counters this
month with an attack by Paul Rosen-
felH who refers to the young French
writer's idea Of America and says:
Whether. French people wanted
us to be savages or no would be of
no matter in the United States; all
the talk of skyscraper primitive art
would be harmless, were work pro-
ceeding here, and voices calling. The
existing machinery, jazz, Charlie
Chaplin, would find the artist, for the
artist never has to go find the raw
stuff of nature. But there is no
faith among the American workers;
and in all ages wanting inner direc-
ion, a subjective sense of inferiority
drives men to searching for ready
made formulate before starting off on
their adventures; and to playing up
to the eyes of certain people whom
they take pleasure in conceiving as
superior to themselves. 1t is for this
reason that the charming fantasies
of contemporary France seems to us
to contain principle dangerous to
the young art-men in America. These
fantasies are supplying number of
embryonic artists with cheap formu-
lac. keeping them from working from
their sensibilities. They are also
persuading a number of incipient ad-
%foy, hot Ho1
thing to do with art, preventing them
using their talents properly in selling
tomato sauce and soap. No doubt,
the will to worship lot OF quarter
bake material will eventually be- dis
carder by the determined artists, and
lead the incipient advertisers to flat
tering millionaires more directly, and
building up circulation for frankly
MISUNDERSTANDING journals But
much breath will go lost. And we
have so little breath to lose"

Making Good Use Of
Farm Credit Facilities

many associations IN that state have
not needed to borrow from the War
Finance Corporation or the Interme-
date Credit Banks, because ample
funds have been available to them
from private bankers on very favor
able terms
Some cooperative associations that
borrowed heavily from the War FL
nance Corporation TWO years ago are
now doing the bulk of their financ-
ing at private banks. Cotton ascot
atoms In the South are getting funds
in New York as we'll as from local
banks. An association in Alabama
raised 100000 last year from the
War Finance Corporation, and an
equal amount from banks. 1t prob
ably will rely to greater extent this
year on private institutions. From
Arkansas comes report that an as
ISOLATION which arranged line of
credit with the War Finance Corpora
ton was not obliged to call for sin
gle dollar, so favorable had general
conditions become as result of the
mere existence OF adequate credit ia
cilities. How much credit financing
will be done by cooperative associa-
lions this year cannot be foretold, but
govern m e n t officials believe the
amount will break all records Cot
ton cooperative associations market
ed about 75S,86S bales last year, much
of it through credit arrangements
with the War Finance Corporation
or commercial banks. Several new
associations have recently been or
ganized, and the older ones are in
creasing their membership. In the
Northwest farmer-owned country ele
vators are doing considerable financ
ing with the intermediate credit banks.
The intermediate term financing
ing problem is practically solved, de-
partment officials say. They assert
that the attitude of private banking
institutions toward agricultural fl.
nance has been greatly Influenced by
the action taken by Congress in set
ling up new credit machinery, which
is prepared both to help the banks
and to help the co-operatives directly

AFTER SPEED LAURELs

Gar Wood and Detroit will have
laurels. The East is coming after
them. Since 1914 the East has made
no entries in any of the important
motor boat races. But next year,
when the twenty-second annual race
for the American Power Boat Asso-
citation gold cup takes place, the East
will conpete-and expects to win.
The possibility, after an inaction
of almost ten years, is due to the
craftsmanship and determination of
a few men who met at the Columbia
Yacht Club in New York, and in less
than Is minutes raised $4,000 to
build boat for the race.
The boats in this water classic are
26 feet long and are equipped with
motors of 625 cubic inches, develop
ing 200 horsepower. In the last race
they achieved speed of 46 miles
an hour There are three 30-mile
heats.
Despite the fact that all the deve1-
opmeut in speed boats has come out
Of the West, the East expects to win
with the boat now being built. Miss
Columbia" will be of Eastern design
and Eastern build. One especially
strong feature governing it's chances
to. win is that the boat is being built
under the direction of, and will be
driven by, G. F. Chapman, editor of
Motor Boating, and one of the most
famous yachtsmen of the country.
