HUNGARY Defies League Order

of the League of Nations that the
auction be postponed. In a note to
Sir Eric Drummond, secretariat at

Hungary would be unable to accede
to the leagues request. He said the
machine guns were on the ground
and that all details had been ar
ranged. He also challenged the

Horace Greeley's Prophecy.

That there is drinking under prohi-
bition, no sane person will deny. But
that there is more drinking than be-
fore prohibition is, on it's face, an alb
surd statement One of the great
gains of the dry regime is that the
brand of responsibility has been re-
moved from the liquor traffic and it
has been labeled illegal by the United
States Government.
Horace Greeley, founder of the
New York Tribune, writing editorial
ly, in 1854, said:
"That all liquor selling will be
stopped in city like this we do not
anticipate; but we will make it a
stealthy, hidden, guilty business, so
prosecuted that he who will drink
must sneak down backstairs and
through underground passages to find
liquor; and whenever that shall be
the case there will not be one glass
drunk where ten glasses are now, nor
one new drunkard manufactured
where there are now a hundred"

Nicely Schwenckton.
Are you so sure she'll be willin'
to marry you without lOvin' you and
without your lovin' her?" Nicely asked
wOnderingly.
Nothing could have been more dis
tasteful to him than answering such
a question; dwelling at such length
on this unseemly topic. But if to win
her over he must pay that price, then
pay it he would.
Look here, Nicely, perhaps owe it

Montana Farm Income Gains

Helena, Mont.-Montana farmers
had a cash income of approximately
$25,000,000 more last year than in
1926. The total farm income figure,
$3.50, 100000, is derived from cash sales
Of crop and livestock items of the
years production. The 1927 income
establishes a new record both in total
income and in that derived from crops,
but falls below 1926 in income derived
from sales of livestock.

Before he could lay finger on her
to stop her, she had turned and fled.
By the time he had recovered from
the bewildering shock Of her words,
her tone, she was far down the hill
too far for him to overtake her-even II
he had not realized, to his stunned
amazement, the absolute uselessness
of overtaking her.
That he had been repudiated by this
girl who for nearly three months had
let him treat her contemptuously, had
submitted to his bullying, his rude
ness, his irritability, had accepted and
returned his lavish caresses! All the
way down the hill and along the high
way toward the spot near the school
house, where today he had parked his
car, he stared incredulously at the
amazing fact.
But q scene that met his bewildered
gaze when he was about to get into
his car, parked near the schoOlhouse,
did not decrease his mental confusion,
nor serve to soothe his rasped nerves
and outraged vanity.
Marvin Creighton, approaching Will
liam Penn schoolhouse at half-past
five that afternoon, on his way to his
temporary home at Absalom Puntz'
cottage, noticed on the road far ahead
of him slim girlish figure in long
loose coat, hurrying along the high
way. Though the daylight was fading
her carriage of herself and the set Of
her clothing were so conspicuously diff.
ferent from that of any country girl
one was apt to meet alone on the road
at this hour that even in this dimness
that hurrying figure was sharply i'm
