generously offering her goodwill; and
Rogers, the lawyer, and Farris, the
artist, both of the sophisticated, self
sufficient type, were little behind the
major in interest.
During the last week Of May, a ru-
NOR came to Judith's ears of which,
at first, she thought little Carson,
coming to her upon a bit of ranch
business, remarked dryly before taking
his departure, that a report had got
around among his men-Poker Face
had mentioned it to him-that Blue
Lake ranch was on it's last legs; that
1t was even to be doubted, If the men
ever saw another pay day before the
whole affair went into a receivers 8
hands. Judith laughed at him and
told him not to worry.
'MeY said Carson. "Tm not the
worrying kind. But idees like that
amt good to have floating around A
man won't do moren half work when
he's wondering all the time If he's GO
ing to get his mazuma for it,"
But, when again the rumor came,
this time telephoned up to her from
the Lower End by Doc Tripp, she
frowned and wondered. And she was
careful, upon the thirtieth of May,
to send Charlie Miller, the store
keeper, into Rocky Bend for the
monthly pay roll money. Charlie left
for Rocky Bend in the afternoon,
spending the night in town to get the
customary morning start for the
ranch. The men were to be paid at
six o'clock.
Upon this same day Pollock Hamp-
ton told Judith that Bayne Trevors
was coming to the ranch to have din
ner spending the night and the fol-
lowing day. Judith made no reply
beyond faYoring him with a quick
look of question. She had not be-
lieved that the man would come.
What next?
The last day Of May came, and true
to his promise, Trevors was a guest
at the house from which, so short
a time ago, he had been evicted. He
dined there that night, cool and self
confident casually polite to Judith,
civil and courteous to the other
guests, especially to Major and Mrs
Langworthy and Marcia, leading
conversations unobtrusively, making

from L. L. Friend, State Supervisor
of High Schools, stating that Being
ton High School els classified for the

THE WEST HAS ITS
WEEvIL FIGHT, TOO
STATES ON AND NEAR PACIF-
&c COAST TRY TO EXTERMI-
NATE THE ALFALFA PEST.

RENO, Nev.-State and federal au-
thorities in the west have combined
forces to fight the destructive alfalfa
weevil The pest threatens the great
est crop of the irrigated states and
incidentally strikes at the live stock
industry.
Since 1904, when this pest was dis
covered near Salt Lake City, Utah,
it has spread into Idaho. 1t has made
such inroads on the hay industry that
the government now has experts in
the west studying the habits of the
worm and insect to determine the best
method of controlling if not extermi-
mating it.
In Nevada and Idaho federal and
state authorities have concentrated
their war on the weevil Around the
Boise valley, Idaho, some 10000 acres
of hay were sprayed and in Nevada,
where the weevil came but a few
years ago, $50 acres were sprayed.
This work has been done under SUI
pervision of Sterling J. Snow, who
first took up the fight against the
weevi1 in Utah.
In Idaho conditions have been so
bad that two sprayings were necessary
this year" says Snow.
The type of machine most salts
factory is traction which sprays a
swathe 20 feet wide
1T requires at least three days al
ter field is sprayed to kill sufficient
worms to give the alfalfa new start,
and it is a week or ten days before
the field shows to any great extent the
results OF the spraying.
"A field attacked by the pest looks
pretty bad directly after being spray
ed, as the hay is more or less tram
pied and rolled down. But in a brief
time. with no worms attacking it, it
RECEIVERS and takes on new life, often
bringing nearly d normal crop the
first cutting and absolutely assuring a
second crop, which would be failure
were it not for the spraying of the
first crop"

CONSIDER PASTORS
OF u. S. WELL PAID
REPORT OF CONGREGATION
AL CHURCHES SHOWS MIN
listers GET GOOD PAY.

Compared with the pittance paid to
Protestant pastors in France salaries
OF ministers in the United States are
princely being from two to so times
larger and all denominations are
making efforts to increase the yearly
stipend.
In France, at present exchange, the
standard OF salary is 81 day for all
the needs OF the family, and these pas
tors are better off by far than any OF
their class in Germany, Hungary or
any other country farther east.
According to the annual report OF
the Congregational churches in the
United States, just issued, not includ-
ing parsonages and exclusive OF vari-
our perqtnsites, salaries are shown to
have increased from an average OF ST.
US to $l,854. House rent and other
emoluments would probably bring the
average incomes up to $1,000 a year.
Other information contained in the
summary, by the Rev. Charles E. Bur
ton, secretary, shows a tendency to-
wards fewer churches, but better"
While the denomination reports a loss
OF 10 churches it shows an increase
OF 1922 members, the average in
crease per church being from 147 to
$50. This is accounted for by three
reasons:
|. The concentration Of population
in cities from the country makes the
continuance OF rural churches impos-
sible.
2. The wide use OF the automobile
permits many country dwellers to go
to the town church
3. The growing spirit OF church
union or federation brings about the
union OF two or more small churches
Of various denominations into one
strong church.
Property values have increased by
S8,412,46l, bringing the total up to
$132, 388,237 Invested funds of the
churches amount to $15,343948, all in
crease of $824,550 for the year
The annual budgets OF the church
es reporting amounted to $18,261 ,691
or $1,479,936 more than for the pre-
ceding year, not including benevo-
lences of the churches, which totaled
$5,366181, or $153,965 more than the
preceding year.
New members added to the rolls
totaled 63,680, OF these 37,305 being
on confession of their faith and the
rest by letter from other churches Of
all denominations.
The Sunday school enrolment is
shown to be 78O,375, a net gain of 622
in the year. The membership of
young peoples organizations totaled
119,809, an increase of 3,407.
