Heard a song about Brant and the steam
train the other day." said Jet. Heard it sew
eral times. Other day when We went up to
Perky to raid still everybody met sing
ing that song All the Valentines were singing
it. The song should have tipped me off to
something. Funny didn't think of something
then"
"Meann what, Floyd?"
well, If I'd have thought, I'd expected Brant.
No difference though. I expected somebody
Funny never thought of Brant!" Jet looks
abstractedly across the road
Tab Daniels eyes turn toward the picnic
grove. He see the Valentine boy training his
stick on the sheriff and himself. The youngest
of the Porky Ridge feudists is reacting to the
conspiracy talk of his people gathered near his
feet, carrying out their talk, making panto-
mime of killing.
Look yander. Floyd. Picnic grove!"
When Jet turns his head to look he sees
the boy suddenly tripped by one of his uncles
sent sprawling, and Smacked in the face by
another of his kin as he rises The boy betray-
ing their plot receives cuffs all around.
THE sheriff sees that some of the folks In
- the grove, under the porticos and in the
courthouse yard have seen the signs have
read them. Some of the men and women be-
gin to fdget. Some RISE stretch and walk
leisurely up toward Five Corners, sit down on
the edge Of a field.
Jett looks at his watch It's o'clock Four
hours yet until the voting closes. Probably not
half the votes in. Hillmen come to town on
election day not only to vote. but to shop, see
things, talk. They're never in a hurry to vote.
Some wait for a chance to slip into the voting
place in the courthouse after the field is cleared
of enemies. Some want to argue politics first
Some wait for other members of their families,
wait for cousins and uncles, wait for third and
fourth cousins, prefer going in to vote with
their full strength.
Air a-goin' tub be trouble, Floyd" says Tab
Daniels.
"Brant's the cats paw" says Jet. Maybe
he's been hidden in the hills for months
Brought out today to help force his brother
Mark into Office"
"Thar's Mark now" says Tab Daniels "Jes'
come out harness shop"
Jet looks down Main street again and sees
his opponent for election stop on the board

DEMOS EXPECT ID SECURE FARMERS
 BACKING, FIGHT
TARIFF SCHEDULE Is AN UN- CERTAIN POLITICAL ISSUE
 OF 193O

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. P)- A whirlpool of political jockey ing, clash of special interests, and hard fighting all along the line will be stirred up during the de- bate of the tariff bill
 Both the Democrats and the Republicans will have their eyes on the 1880 political contests as they meet in a battle over the various tariff schedules. The fight will be complicated by the fact that the progressives have decid- ed not to support the demos in every case and that the coali- tion between the factions will therefore operate only at times
 The farmers, who make every political campaign uncertain, are still registering many complaints against the low rates on farm imports contained in the pend ing tariff bill and the democrats are expecting to gain their back ing by a hard fight for higher schedules.

 Dear Sirs:
 Since my arrival in Alaska I have received nothing but the greatest courtesy, kindness and att tention from everyone that it has been my pleasure to come in con- tact with, and it would therefore seem somewhat churlish on my part if I refused to send you just a few lines, as you have requested me to do, concerning my impress sions of your vast country.

 The scenery is beyond descrip- ton of a far abler pen than mine and the glaciers, rivers and noun tains as they come into ones view fill one not only with sense o1 their magnitude and grandeur, but with ever unfailing amazement o- what nature can produce at tht height of it's magnificence.

OFFER EXTRA CASH
FOR CENSUS WORK
U. S. Employees to Be Given
Opportunity to Earn Ad-
ditionaI Money.

Government employees in Washington
and throughout the great field service
scattered around the world will be
given opportunity of making, extra
money by doing field work for the Bu-
reau of the Census, it was decided by
Controller General McCarl in q deci-
sion made public yesterday.
An old law which prohibits Govern
ment workers from being paid more
than $4,000 annually from more than
one Government job was held by Nc
Carl not to apply to the business Of
taking the new census.
At the Bureau of the Census it was
explained that this will mean ex-
ira employment for very few workers
in this city, but quite a number in field
services, such as those dealing with the
Indians, irrigations, forests and others.
In answer to question by the Secre-
tary of Commerce. McCarl held that
employees Of that department and other
departments and independent bureaus
may be employed and compensated for
field work on the fifteenth census. with
out references to old salary limitations
of not more than $4,000. The work can
be done by employees, either by taking
annual leave, or by working overtime,
or by resigning temporarily from the
regular service, 1t was explained at the
Bureau of the Census.
Clerks Of the Navy Department could
also be compensated on a piece price
basis as enumerators," McCarl ruled,
for the purpose of copying on the
population schedule of the Bureau OF
the Census from the Navy personnel
records such data as may be required
for the census.
This would be q better means Of
taking census Of the Navy, 1t was
pointed out, than by attempting to Sc.
cure the data from the various naval
units scattered throughout the worlo.

Have Recovered.
Associated Press Photo

Sixteen person out of nineteen who
sat down to Christmas dinner with Mrs.
Edith Caylor, 1872 Fifth street northeast,
became i'll shortly afterward. Some of
them needed hospital treatment. All
have now recovered. Samples of the
food are being analysed for chemical or
meteorological poisons at the Health
Department laboratories.
Thus far, according to Health Officer
William G. Fowler, no traces of poison
have been found. The tests will not be
complete, however, for about three days.
The illness broke out two to four
hours after the meal, which, according
to DR.. Fowler, is probably too short q
time to indicate ptomaine poisoning.
The Health Department was notified Of
the apparent poisoning by DR.. John
Caylor, son of the family, who is an
X-ray expert at Providence Hospital.
The first to fall i'll were H. w. Reid,
son-in-law of Mrs. Caylor, and his
children, Harold, 9; John, 8, and
Geraldine, z. These were taken to
Providence Hospital. The others who
became i'll, and who were treated at
home, were Mrs H. w. Reid, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. c. Spence, j. E. Spaulding
of Del Ray and his three children,
Edith, Jean and Cecil; Mrs. c. c. Cay
Tor Of 1888 Warren street and her four

Two More Years to Serve
on Present Term.

Interstate Commerce Commission since
1921. has rendered his resignation 10
President Hoover, and viii retire from
Office as soon as successor has been
selected.
Commissioner Campbell, whose resi-
dence Is in Spokane, Wash, will return
70 the practice of law. He was selected
Tor the commission service during the
Harding administration, having been
particularly Endorsed by farm organiZa-
tons of the country during the more
active period of controversy over rail
rates on agricultural commodities.
Classified as Republican, his official
term on the commission had two years
to run before expiration.
In view of the general attempt to
make the commissions membership ter
ritorial, = it is expected that President
Hoover will be faced with a number of
candidates from the Northwestern quar-
ter OF the country, whose claims for
the Campbell vacancy will be pressed
though time has not yet allowed these
10 develop. The political balance on
the commission Is expected to require
that the new appointee, whoever he is
be aligned with the Republican party.
The resignation of Campbell, if &C
cepted before the first Of the year, will
leave two vacancies on the commission
of IL, with the remaining 9 compris-
ing 5 Democrats and 4 Republicans.
The term of Richard " TAYLOR OF
Alabama, one of the six Democrats now
on the commission expires next Tues
day. This leaves the SECOND vacancy

nomination Of Robert M. Jones. Knox

Students Earn Money
Acting as Escorts
For Telephone Girls

NEW YORK, December 81

Nicholas Med. Mcknight, secre-
tary of appointments at Columbia
University, announced that stu
dents no longer were supplied
with jobs as pay roll protectors
because that was hazardous work
and the responsibility partly must
be the university's.
The latest report of Mr.. Nc
Knight shows that students have
been earning money as escorts
for telephone girls at night. They
also have acted as interpreters
in tong wars and have submitted
their skulls to professors engaged
in studying skulls, and have in
vestigated the history of poker
for a professor writing a book
about it. One student has been
tutor to a man practically deaf,
unable to read or write and
scarcely articulate.
