The program for their training is
designed to fit them for the hardships

A regular schedule for infantry and

of each month.
The course includes $50 hours drill
in the various phases of military serv-
ice, including AZ hours target prac-
tice with rifles by infantrymen, and
% IL hours with the pistol by field
artillery recruits.
The daily drill schedule is full
enough to prevent time from hanging
heavily on the hands of the new ar
rivals.
They "fall out" at Z o'clock in the
morning for the first part of the days

Afternoon drill lasts from so to

The number of recruits in the cycles
varies from rs to 200 on the aver
age.
At times it is largely increased by
the arrival of special bodies of re-
cruits from other corps areas.
At present there are approximately
200 men at the training center, but

when the bomb was flung.
David sat near the head OF
the table at Dulcie's right.
He was inwardly burning
with excitement and scarce
ly ate, Dulcie raised her
glass to his lips and with her
studied cuteness coaxed him,
but he did not drink at ali.
He watched man who sat al
most directly across from him = fel'
low with a beautifully sculptured
head, mouth sensitive and grim--thC
man Helena had loved.
Then David noticed that Barry
Dunno, after a first glance, kept
his face averted. This added to his
fevered unrest. 1t seemed almost
that the man knew of his interest
and feared it. The fellow had suf-
fering look in his eyes.
The conversation went fitfully
Glasses clinked. Some of the very
young girls became flushed and
laughed at the slightest comment.
Gladys Ross twined her arm in her
partners. Her cheeks were bright
ly stained. She began to talk. The
comments became more and more
personal. Others added to them.
1Oh, Alice Payton getting d.
vorce. About time, isn't it,"
"And did you see Claire Royce
at Corpus Christi. Some chauffeur she
has now!"
Laura Manning's name came up
Was that patched up? Who had
some new hop?
Suddenly from the opposite end OF
the table came this: "A hot one
about Jake, wasn't it? Thirty thou
sand dollars! Wonder who the fair
one is - some long lost child OF
Jake's perhaps"
"Child!" Then a mockins laugh,
why, it's Helene Bryce"

her? Why, yes-the very one!
David felt the blood pound to his
temples. He saw a whiteness on the
face Of Barry Dunne-saw his mouth
draw so that the teeth marks
showed; saw him raise his glass
quickly and drain it.
Far down the table he recognized
Janina Knowles-her dark, striking
face hard with anger. She had half
risen and seemed about to speak
when some one asked: But really
now. why do you suppose Jake did
that?".
A soft, deep voice answered with
a careless laugh: 'Oh, l dare say
Jake had his reasons for leaving half
his fortune to Miss Bryce"
David looked along the line OF
faces into the placid eyes of lila
Moore, for it was she who had
spoken. He said: YES, Mrs. Dunno,
Jake had good reasons for leaving
the money to Miss Bryce. l attended

He had folded his arms and was
now smiling and glancing quietly from
one to another.
A streak Of scarlet ran along Has
neck. She said in a strained, high
voice: How very noble she hae

Some one laughed: well may she
open a home for the iathcrless! Her
kind can fill it!
The smile vanished from Davids
face. He looked at yacuous blonde
girl about 20. This was Fredericton
Moll-a thin, elongated creature who
leaned vampishly on the table and
smoked. Her extremely low cut
gown CAPPED. 1t was she who laughed.
David said loudly: Her kind, Miss
Moll? What do you mean by that?'
Immediately a tcnscness girded the
table. Emily Burdell sat erect and

F. CELEBRATE
Science Is Credited for
Bringing Out Texas
Ranch Industry.

The meeting of Texas ranchmen.
particularly of those engaged in pro-
duction of wool and mohair and their
accompanying meat products, mutton
and chcvon, at Sonora August IL and
II, will be the largest of these gath
crings so far and will be in the ma
ture of a celebration of the progress
made in sheep and goat production in
Texas.
So says c. H. Alvord, secretary of
the agricultural department of the
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.
The program will be full for both
days and the intervening night, in
Guiding a barbecue dinner, baseball
game, moving pictures and dancing.
The commodious pavilion and other
camping convenicnces at the station
have been provided in order that
ranchmen interested in ranching re-
search work and progress may meet
from time to time without any in
convenience to study their problems.
TEXAS FIRST.
Texas has been placed first among
wool producing states within the last
few years.
Texas 1915 production of 10000
900 pounds ranked ninth among the
wool producing states.
Texas was still ninth in 1918 when
the production was 100000 pounds
greater.
In 1910 the production reached 49,
100000 pounds and Texas ranked
eighth while in 1922 the production
advanced to 100000 pounds.
The 1928 crop of 100000 pounds
placed Texas first.
Mohair production amounted to g.
471,000 pounds last year, which is 81
per cent of the entire production in
the United States.
The growth of the two industries is
attributed not to mere chance but to
development along scientific lines.
SCIENCE AIDS.
The ranch experiment station was
established in 1915 in response to a
demand by ranchmcn interested in
sheep and goat production. ...
The station was established in the
region where sheep and goat opera
tons are central and they have been
using the information developed by
the men in charge.
In the opinion of the sheep and
goat men at the experiment station
there are numerous areas within the
state where either sheep or goat rails.
ing or both may be added to the farm
ing and ranch operations now prac-
ticcd and from which satisfactory
profits may be had.
Extensive expansion in the sheep
and goat raising industry along scien-
tific lines is expected to continue.

Good for the State of Michigan
which has taken hefty wallop at
the watered stock game by bar
ring the sale in Michigan of $685.
100000 Dodge Bros. stock!
Michigan, through its State Sc
curities Commission, points out
that actual assets of the automO-
bile firm of Dodge Bros. total
$1O2,OOO,OOO. Against this the
bankers who bought the Dodge
Bros. business are issuing $751;
100000 in debenture notes and
$85, ,000,0 in stock. If the assets
are collateral for the debenture
notes, the commission says, only
$27, 100000 in assets would be, left
to cover $85,O00,000 worth of
stock.
The bankers who are floating
the stock frankly state that the
stock is issued against the earn
ing power of Dodge Bros, which
has been high. Dodge Bros.
make good automobiles, which
doubtless has been a big factor in
the large earnings of the past,
but the public has no guarantee
that the company will continue to
make cars of the same standard
of quality. Under the present
banker control, there might be
lowering in the quality of the
cars, with consequent falling off
in business and loss of earnings,
which might conceivably result
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-05-22

in bankruptcy. This would mean
big loss for those who put their
money in Dodge Bros. stock.
This phase of the sale of Dodge
Bros. stock was evidently taken
into consideration by the Michi-
gan Securities Commission. In
stead of waiting until the Dodge
is stolen to lock the garage door,
the commission is barring the
door before the car disappears, to
give a modern twist to an old
saying.
OF course the bankers don't
like the action of the Michigan
Securities Commission, and they
are wailing and gnashing their
teeth. They are peeved to have
light thrown on the watered stock
evil, as it tends to make the pub
lie cautious and makes it hard to
sell watered stock in the future.
The people, however, who have
lost millions in stock that had no
tangible assets behind it, are re-
joicing over Michigan's courageous
stand and are not worrying over
the crocodile tears of the bankers.
As was remarked before, good
for Michigan! If other states
acted as Michigan has, watered
stock would get a black eye that
would go far toward putting it
out of business. Let's hope that
Michigan's good example will be
followed elsewhere.
