But Madge didn't answer she was leading
the way to the dining ROOM and she seemed
to be walking just a little proudly. Mort and
Cartright followed along behind.
There wasn't a blessed thing on the table ex-

Mort was red with embarrassment. He wasn't

direful plot entirely on Madges hands. She
didn't hesitate

Madge laughed, just enough, and settled back
in her chair. She had done her stunt and she

Caught Befqoeen -Taoo Fires

THE live stock raiser is caught between two
fires and his position is none too enyiable
In the opinion of c. B. Denman of the Federal
Farm Board In a recent survey of the live
stock growers situation he pointed out that the
declining prices for meat have cut heavily into
the ralsers income. The greater part of the
reduction in price, Mr.. Denman has stated has
been in the prices paid to the raiser that the
gap between consumer and raiser Is nearly as
great as ever. He believes that some means
should be worked out to have larger part
OF the spread between live stock and retail
prices reduced In order that the raiser might
receive better return for his live stock
The price situation is not the only disastrous
factor which the live stock man must face.
however, for Mr.. Denman has found a growing
campaign against meat eating The proua-
ganda, he has said, is widespread and has
brought about reduction in meat CONSUMPTION
on the grounds that meat is not heaIthfuI
food and that the cost is too great for its use
regularly He is attempting to bring about a
cooperative movement to combat this propa-
ganda.

Aunt Hattie hmphed when they flashed past

COMMISSIONERS
Can't Afford to Ignore
Grand Jury Report.

Inactivity of county commission
ers in considering the findings of
the Marion county grand jury,
charging "mismanagement and mis-
treatment of inmates at the coun-
ty poor farm, was fayed today by
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson.
They can't afford to overlook
this report as they have other re-
ports. There must be something to
the jury's report" Wilson declared.
His statement hit at the comment
Of County Commissioner George
Snider who said upon reading the
report, "just another grand jury re-
port"
"If something isn't done soon in
the way Of quarters out at the farm
they'll be freezing to death this
winter" Wilson asserted.
Possibility Of new quarters for
men at the farm is seen in the
special summer meeting Of the
county council to consider the years
budget.
1t is believed that Dow vorhies
ana John G. Shearer, county COM
miSsioners, may seek funds from
the council for the erection Of new
quarters for men at the farm.
Although the grand jury indi-
rectly requested the discharge Of
John Carter, superintendent of the
farm. the commissioners have not
called Carter ION the carpet"

There was an almost complete

Copper shares receded for a time

up to 9 cents a pound for domestic
shipment, but late in the week the
metal was being offered at 81 cents
pound with demand very light.
Commodities followed the trend
