The petition has been filed at the
courthouse in opposition to any permit

Sheriff Fields advised the petitioners
that he would not allow the erection
of stands on the lot In question without
the necessary written permits either
from the county authorities or the own

Of the property. The firm of Lyon g.
Fitch have communicated with the
president of the Lyon Park Com
munity Center, A. T. Rowell, notifying
him that they would not agree to grant
a permit for any such purpose.
The temper of the petitioners is such
that they have secured legal advice,
claiming that certain covenants In their
deeds are being violated If carnival,
such as is being proposed, is permitted
and they threaten court action against
any lot owner or other party attempting
to run a business of this kind.
The proponents of the carnival state

that has characterized the foreign

duccrs in North Dakota for beef cat

April Is. this was estimated to have

Hogs
Hog prices usually decline about 8
per cent from the peak reached in
late winter until the spring low point
In May and June. Last fall the pig
crop was 5 per cent below that Of
1927. Therefore. the price this spring
probably will decline less than usual
Since January. market supplies OF
hogs have been materially less than
the unusual supplies Of year ago,
Unfavorable weather conditions in
March restricted shipments from the
country and this created temporary
shortages which were reflected in
sharp price advances. Storage stocks
OF pork. April 1. were 8 per cent less
than the unusually large April l
stocks Of last year. Lard stocks. how
ever, were the largest OH record for
the season. amounting to 8 per cent

Indications are that the present

The usual trend in prices from

Il in mind when they polished off their
plans for framing Stephen.
At this point in mis- handling of the
case Short went home and to bed,
But he did not 60 to sleep. And while
he thought over the circumstantial
evidence against Stephen that young
man was center of interest among a
group of Pamela's friends. He'd
almost forgotten his troubles.
| But If he could not see the black
cloud that was gathering over his
head there was one who prayed tear
fully that no harm would befall him.
When Harold had gone to Mildred
after his visit to Huck's room at the
time Huck had avowed his intention
Of running Stephen, he was in q pitt
able condition indeed. His resistance
was 1T low ebb and the temptation
to unburden himself to Mildred was
almost overpowering. His knowledge
Of her love for Stephen alone
held him back. He couldn't depend
upon her to keep his secret. And even
if he did not tell her that Huck had
threatened Stephen he knew that she
would not remain silent with Pa
mela in danger.
Harold had no mercy for himself
in comparing his cowardice with Mil
dred's staunch spirit. But the matter
Of deciding what to do was not left to
his cringing will.
Mildred saw ut once that he was in
an unusually anguished state Of
mind. She almost feared that he
was verging on madness. His face
was alternately flushed and pale and
he couldn't hold his hands steady
enough to light q cigaret.
He sat down, got up again, walked
to the radio, tuned it in, tuned it out,
sat down again, got up.
Mildred couldn't stand it. She sig.
nailed Connie out Of the room and then
she told Harold to sit down pointing
to the big arm chair that was now
back in the living room.
He sank into it with an audible
groan and Mildred flew to his side.
She put her hands on his shoulders
in comforting way and begged him
to tell her what was wrong.
"Something," she said frankly,
"has to be done for you, Harold. II
You refuse to let me help you I'm
going to Mr.. Dazel and have him
cable your father"
Harold jerked up his head. "For
Gods sake, Mildred, don't do that, "
he screeched.
.Then tell me what Huck Connor is
doing to you," Mildred bargained.
Harold sank his face in his hands
again and Mildred waited. Her heart
ached for him but she believed that q
more level head than his was needed
to fight Huck Connor.
With q painful gulp in his throat
Harold lpoked up and spoke. "He's
got something that ). don't want
dad to see," he said and his terror
drove him to glance about at his sim
| pie surroundings in a quick way that
revealed to Mildred more than any
thing else the magnitude Of his op-
preston.
"No ones listening" she said
soothingly. Wont you tell me
Harold gripped her hands. 'sI'm
afraid Of him, Mildred" he whim-
pered, and a cold, sickening feeling
crept over the girl.
'Why?" she whispered, and Har-
old's abject fear had communicated

"Stephen!" the name burst from
Mildred's lips in Z passionate cry.
Harold, what do you mean? What
has Huck Connor to do with Ste
phen?"
She was shaking the boys thin
shoulders furiously, trying to make
him speak, but Harold's crazed con.
fession was at an end. Mildred's re-
action to the 1nention Of Stephens
name had made him realize that she
would fight for Stephen at any cost.
Her fingers clutched painfully
through his clothing; he heard her
voice break. It was unbearable. He
had to tell her something.
"Stop shaking me-" he said, and
tried to pull away.
''Then tell me; tell me about Ste
phen," Mildred pleaded.
u will. Let me get my breath"
Mildred dropped her hands and
waited. Harold did not look at her.
"He's going to marry PAM" he said
reluctantly.
For q moment there was chastity,
taut silence. Then Mildred turned
away with q choked sob. Hsrold
lifted his face, saw her at the door,
in flight. He stood up and called to
her but she did not answer.
Presently she sent Connie to ask

Connie said, q bit peeved because she
could not understand the drama that
she sensed was being played in their
flat.
Harold left Immediately, which
provoked Connie into going back to
join Mildred and trying to make her
talk.
Finally Mildred reached out for
her sisters hand and clung to it in
way that silenced Connie.
But later, with Connie offering
sympathy and comfort rs best she
could without words, Mildred told her
about Stephens engagement.
"And I love him, Connie" she
added, q world Of pain in the whis-
pered words.
Connie said nothing, only pressed
closer the arm she had thrown pro.
tectingly about Mildred. But after
a while her feelings got the better Of
her and she burst out angrily. Hell

"Connie, he wouldn't. He loves
her."

IN NEW YORK

new YORK, April 10 xue NeW
York school which John D. Rocke-
Teller Jr., endows and underwrites Is
an institution where those vast ex.
tremes, typical Of Manhattan life,
can be found.
Here mingle the children Of the
fabulously rich and the contrasting
poor.
The opportunity for entrance Is not
based upon the standards Of wealth,
but upon the precocity displayed.
Youngsters living In ordinary and
humble circumstances who can run
the mental blockade are given an
equal chance with boys and girls
whose parents are the financial kings
Of America. Rich and poor alike must
display mental alertness, which
places them ahead Of average young
sters Of their years. Thus. while It
is essentially public school, Its stu
dent body Is automatically limited.
Every effort Is made to dispel any
notion Of caste differences and to
draw the distinctions along mental
lines. To be sure, the child Of cap
tain Of industry who has sufficient
intelligence to gain m entrance is
almost certain to have cast snobbery
aside and to have observed human re-
lationships from their proper perspec-
tive. Children Of the newly rich,
pampered into self lf-consciousness, are
far more likely to be undemocratic.
