Sanctioned Coal Mines

All the fuel, with little exception,
to be used during the coming year at
charitable, educational and penal in
situations of South Dakota will be from
the states own Ignite mine near
Haynes, S. d. The mine, operation
of which by the state began in 1919,
is now on a participating basis and
producing in such quantities that its
manager was able to offer prices which
enabled almost all the institutions to
use the coal at a saving.

Brena looked out of the car window
at the flashes of green and gray of
farms and farm buildings as if she
were searching in her memory for a
Photographic impress. Then suddenly,
with the quick precision that gave her
hand and mind so many undeveloped
| talents, she outlined strange figure
on paper.
Parmalee snatched it eagerly and
stared; he saw a figure, half snake
and half bird

sounded muffled. well, do you know
what it is?'

CHAPTER VII-Continued

Parmalee must have uttered an ex-
clamation of triumph; he alone knew
that she was wrong.

service than 1t can be here. / am I'M
patient for richer soil in which to

He probably thrust a glance at the
letter and looked up with that satanic
chin and upslanting eyes turned to-
ward the ceiling. He read on.
Therefore l assent to your plan as
you stated it. Always yours, Brena
Selcoss."
Parmalee, no doubt, said to himself
that this was no ordinary letter from
the hand of girl not older than
eighteen, the brevity and the calm of
1t were symbolized somewhat by the
direct and graceful handwriting which,
with breadth of line and easy flow,
none the less stood INTELLECTUALLY up
on the page.
They were married one evening at
eight o'clock in the same room in
which he had first seen her. Mrs.
Wilkie was glad to have her home"
as she called ii the center of an I'M
scheduled social event which would
cto ~ oil xx-hn in
the News the next morning. This was
the nearest she could come to the adj
venture Of a duchess and she was
willing to have the furry in her life.
1t would be she who would give out
the interviews and explain grandly
would be on their way TO that fairy
world of money and travel and airs
and graces which had opened it's arms
to this fated young beauty. The girl
would leave all her old life and it's
worn dresses and cheap shoes behind
all but one thing perhaps, and that
would be the picture of the Acropolis
in it's battered frame. The fortune
that had befallen Brena had been the
very reality of all Of Mrs. Wilkes
lifelong dreams, but she considered
that for herself, there would be GER
tain crumbs fallen from the table She
caught her breath: she had almost lost
1t when she learned from Parmalee
that he was giving the bride a check
for one hundred thousand dollars.
Not fifteen minutes had elapsed after
the marriage before there came into
the lives of the two new element.
They had been whirled TO the station
and were strolling up and down as
casually as if he were debating to a
young secretary the last memoranda of
q deal in cotton.
Little by little his conversation fell
away; he muttered few last absent
minded words and IT was gone alto
gether. He walked on; she kept pace
with him. He walked on in silence.
Not until she heard a strange Whit
fling noise as sudden sucking in of
breath of one who has tainted did she
turn.
You are as white as linen" she
said, trembling.
He wet his lips and looked at her
almost snarling.
What is this fate that follows
your" he asked.
"Fate?"
Something"
why, what do you feel? she
asked in a frightened whisper.
II feel fear" he said, his upper lip
f1uttering. "a horrible, unaccountable
terror"

grain more efficiently. G. W. Hart OF
the Hart Header barge, has also
adopted some short cut threshing
methods. Bulletin Il, Reducing the
Cost of Montana's Dry Land Wheat
Harvest" refers to this as follows:
Mr.. Hart has also threshed his
stacks by use Of a motor driven COM
bine-harvester, the pitchers throwing
the headed grain upon the platform
canvas. He has threshed about 500
bushels per day in this way, a special
kicker being attached in front Of the
elevator canvas to feed the pitched
grain evenly into the machine.
The Hart system Of farming is one
of the most economical systems de-
vised for farms of 200 to 400 acres
using headers on reasonably level
ground in Montana. One big advan-
tage is that the barge may be used in
windy weather as the sides of the
barge break the force of the wind. 1t
has been seen in operation at times
when high winds had forced some
other types of outfits to quit. The
grain is not shattered by the wind

when using the header barge and all
goes into the stack. The Hart head
eT barge if correctly constructed is
very simple, with no parts to get out
of order and no intricate machinery
to adjust. But warning must be given
that proper construction is demanded
in this barge if success is to be ex-
p~erienced.
Mr.. Hart says that it pays him to
run double crews when using a trac-
tor, one working at night, so that
from so to 60 acres of grain are cut
each "a hours. For light he suspends
two 3~0O-candle power pressure gasO-
line torches or lanterns high enough
in the air that they give a flood OF
light over the whole operation. The
lanterns are hung with springs above
and below to take up the jar in driv.

hington-American steel capi
talists were on the top notch of wealth
accumulation during the world war,
according to figures on the wartime
profits of the steel industry made
public by the Federal Trade Com
mission.
The figures show that the average
earnings of the steel companies were
rs per cent of the investment in 1915,
21.7 in 1916, 289 in 1917, POI in
1918, with a four-year average of
20.2 per cent.
The commission adds that during
1917 and 1918 federal taxes took a
large portion of these profits.
The commission states, however,
that the computation relative to the
return on investment includes the
aggregate amount of stocks, bonds
and Surplus" By surplus is meant
the amount accumulated from year
to year after fat dividends have been
paid on both preferred and common
stock.
That is to say, the steel companies
by means of low wages and long
hours for the workers and high prices
to consumers, make enough profits to
pay dividends and set aside large

Washington Wage earners of
America will be compelled to pay con-
stantly increasing prices for beef
products during the next six years if
the predictions of the economists of
the United States department of ag-
riculture relative to shortage in
beef cattle are reliable. According to
the departments figures beef cattle
have declined during the past year
from 41,720,00O to 39,6O9,00O, de-
crease of more than 100000 head.
"All signs indicate that the
beef cattle industry is headed to-
ward lower production and rising
prices" declares the department.
'If the present cycle runs true
to form the general trend of cat
tie prices should be upward for
six to eight years"
Higher prices for beef cattle due to
the shortage announced by the de-
partment will inevitably be reflected
in boosted retail prices to the consum-
er.
