Come on. let's go outside for little
while anyway"
Hardly were the words out of White
foots mouth when there was soft thud
on the roof of the sugarhouse and two
little hearts almost stopped beating.
What was that?" whispered Mrs.
Whitefoot.
Whitefoot shook his head. Il don't
know" he whispered back. "Listen!"
On the roof over their heads he could
hear soft footsteps. They knew that
they we're the footsteps of some one big.
None of the little folk of the Green
Forest could make footsteps like those.
There was a rafting of the old stove
pipe. which served as chimney for the
sugarhouSe. Did you hear that?'
whispered Mrs. Whitetoot.
Whitefoot nodded. "Of course heard
it." he whispered back. How could
help but hear it. MY dear 1 believe you
are right. believe it is Yowler or Mrs.
FOWLER"
Mrs. Whitefoot didn't wait to reply.
She started for the fireboX of the evapo-
rator and Whitefoot was right at her
heels. Into it they ran and straight
into their little nest in the far corner.
And there they curled up close together
and listened for further sounds.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-(PH
Railroads carrying mail for the post
office department were awarded an
increased pay Of approximately $l5,-
100000 per year under terms Of an
Interstate Commerce Commission or
der today, and in addition granted a
lump sum of approximately S45, 00O,-

commission held the government had

A majority of the commission held
that trunk line railroads were en-
titled 20 increases Of 15 per cent owe
the present compensation to become
effective August /.
The petitions for the increase hav-
ing been filed in July. 1925. the COM
mission ruled that the carriers would
be entitled TO collect the new rates
from that time. Independent short
lines operating over distances Of IN

Will Be
BARREDACAIN
Must Get Court Order
For Place on Run
Off Ballot

The name Of Thomas B. Love Of
Dallas, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, will net be printed on the run
off ballots in Cameron county unless
the decision Of the fourth court Of
civil appeals is reversed by the SUI
preme court.
A statement 10 this effect was made
Monday by Judge Nolney W. Taylor,
Cameron county democratic chairman,
following the announcement that Bar
~ Miller was leading in the race for
the lieutenant governorship, with
Lovei n second place.
Cameron county unofficial returns
show that SIC voters wrote in the
name Of Love on the ballot in the
Saturday primaries.
"The decision OF the fourth court
Of appeals still holds" Mr.. Taylor
said. "anud the name Of Mr.. Love will
not be printed on the rgn-off primary
ballot unless ordered by the court"
Mr.. Taylor expressed the opinion
that similar action would be taken BIZ
a number Of other counties IN the
event the state committee should
certify the name of Love 10 the coun-
ty committees.
j. d. Parnell Of Fort Worth Is third
on the list, according TO the unof-
fetal returns, and it is understood
he will inaugurate a contest to elm
mate Love from the run-off, and in
the event this succeeds he will 10
Barry Miller's opponent.
While the legal phases are not
clear, il Is probable that the state
committee will be called upon to take
action. 1t is believed that in view Of
the decision in the Cameron county
case. the state committee may refuse
70 certify Love as a democrat. Re
ports prior TO the election were to
the effect that a number Of members
Of the state committee would oppose
certification Of Love in the event ne
received sufficient votes in the first
primary TO place him in the run-off.
Mr.. Parnell has the right 20 con-
test the placing Of Love on the run
off primary ballot" Judge Taylor
said, "and in view Of decisions Of the
supreme court in 4 case in which
virtually the same principe was in-
volved, / feel assured the contest
would be successful"

WORKERS Are
UNDER CLOUD
over EUROPE
Britain Threatens to
Lay Off Spinners;
Grain Supply Short
Throughout Russia
BY MELVIN E. COLEMAN
able Editor, The Associated Press

Cable Editor, The Associated Press
Shadows are dseping over the in
dustrial workers Of England and
Russia. In the one case work for
the unemployed and continued jobs
for those who have them, in the 9TH
er the problem of getting bread TO
the city workers, are engaging the
attention Of state councils.
A report from a British govern
ment board said flatly that 100000
coal miners must be moved from
their present abodes as they have
no chance to make a living where
they are now domiciled. Then rail-
way workers and managers got to-
gether and accepted salary and wage
cuts from the highest to the lowest
ranks in order to help their com
panies bridge the chasm Of dwin-
ding traffic.
Spinners to Quit
A third great basic industry of
the home land of the British en-
pire. the cotton spinning mills Of
Manchester, faces a complete shut
down. Mill owners have seized upon
an individuals dispute with his
union as ar excuse for threatening
a lockout Of 100000 mill hands, but
back of this is a condition of de-
preston in the whole industry that
has defied the best thought Of the
mill owners English mills must ex-
port most of their product and new
factories in Japan, India and China,
where cotton goods are the regular
clothing Of much Of the population,
has reduced the English market by
a third.
II these half million mill workers
are locked out, the English unem-
p!loyed total will jump to around
1,750,000. The situation got into
parliament when Ramsay Macdonald,
laborite and former prime minister,
moved a vote Of censure against the
government because it had failed TO
find an answer TO the problem. But
the house defeated the motion. Mr..
Macdonald has started a vacation
trip TO Canada.
Russia Short Of Grain
Russia Is struggling with a short
grain crop, the third in succession.
The peasants apparently are unwill-
ing to let got of their product for
the benefit Of city workers at
government prices. Increases in
prices have been ordered and
the peoples trade commissariat has
been instructed to see that "a time
ly supply Of industrial goods" IS
sent to the country districts.
The Russian moujik seems disin-
clined to worry about the state OF
the cities so long as there IS NUT
ton, black bread and IA in the lard
ers of his W village.
The "town and country" feeling
showed from a different angle in
Mexico where the agrarians declar-
ed a war Of political determination
against the labor party.
