 "Yes," she answered almost in- audibly.
 He had not recognized her Al first she could not believe it. She understood his expression. It was one of mortified dismay. His eyes raked her in silent criticism. She still wore the blue suit and scarlet blouse

 He was studying her with quick glances what a slim long-legged wild little creature she was with that white face held under a fierce control. She could have borne his pity, but his frank Gismay was un- bearable. She disliked him vio- lently.
 "Of course you must have some thing to eat first" he said.
 He acted as though nothing had happened, as he asked for her trunk check and found that she had no trunk. There was only one thing she would not part with. That was Nicholas painting of the woman; she clung to 1t, in spite of his offer to have it put with her bags
 But she saw that although his expression was cold, his eyelids were swollen from weeping She relented a little toward him. How could he be expected to remember her after five years?
 Could you walk block or two? There's quite small place, but perhaps it would be more quiet there"
 He was taking her there because he was ashamed of her. She hoped she would never have to see him again after this meeting. What if it meant that everything was swept away, her dream of security in the old house in the country? Nothing mattered but that she should leave this heartless man who did not show by a single change of ex- pression that he had suffered.

 I am always telling my friends about the wonderful salts. l am al- ways advertising them.

 Fur Farm Visited
 MT. Flory made special trip from Washington to s ar at og a Springs, N. r., where the Depart ment has an experimental fur farm. He studied the work being done by it to determine it's adaptability to Alaska. Sooner or later the De- partment probably will establish a similar farm here,' he said
 He spent several days in New York City, visited his mother and sister in Dayton, Ohio. and an- ether sister who is chief dietitian at Ohio State University at Co., lumbus.
 Enroute home, MT Flory went by the way of San Francisco where he conferred with the Zellerbachs about their plans for Alaska de- velopment. George T. Cameron, in- terested in local pulp and paper development, was in Europe and MT. Flory did not get to see him.
 Some Delay Certain
 Delay in launching pulp con- struction programs is inevitable, de- clared MT. Flory. This is caused by worldwide depression and by unfavorable conditions in the news print manufacturing industry and it's market.
 At this time the newsprint mak- CTS are operating at 40 per cent of capacity. Newsprint prices are ab- normally low and most of the manufacturers are operating at a loss. Until there is trend toward improvement, little or no activity can be expected here, he said.

Chapter 12 APPRAISING EYES

Nora sat in the old city station, her bags huddled about her feet. Prem time to time she glanced tip at the clock and then with ap- prehension at the station doors. How many times in the last hour had she turned with trembling in- terssity as some stranger passed her. She had thought of running away. of refusing to meet Nicholas family face to face But that was what her father would have done; and, knowing it she sat on. Would 1t be Jon who came to meet her? Or that step-sister, Damon?
 She wondered miserably if she could go through with it. But she would She must There was only one thing she wanted now, the old house, quiet and peace. She did hot want to come alive again; for that would hurt too much. But a sky and a garden and trees. They couldn't hurt you.
 No one had come for her. Per haps no one ever would. The doctor had sent the wireless for her, to Jon and to her own people.
 Then glancing up, she saw Jon athon Thayer She would have known him anywhere though it was five years since she had seen him. The pale clear-cut face, the lips a little insolent, and that aid of cold reserve.

sides the play there will be several

ACCEPTS NEW WORK

H. A. Petersen, who has been super
intendent of the Askov schools for the
past two terms has resigned his po-
sition with that institution and has
accepted a position as partner in
the Askov Construction company. Mr..
Petersen is a young product of the
Askov community and before coming
here to teach was principal of the
Pipestone schools. He is ambitious
and has progressive ideas that have
worked toward the betterment of the
Askov school and his future bids fair
to be promising in his new line of
endeavors.
Miss Elna Petersen, daughter of
Mrs. L. C. Petersen of Askov village,
has also resigned from the local high
school faculty. Miss Anna Rupp and

carry out the ideas of their headquar-
ter commanders.
Business men, observant and hard
headed, returning from trips to Latin
America, contend that our foreign
policies are better understood in
neighboring countries than at home.
This condition is due to the failure
of the State Department to take the
citizens into their confidence. Prob
ably this tactical error may be attri-
buted, in part at least, to the fact
that this Federal department looks
at the world through diplomatic
glasses. And diplomacy has been
called the art of assimilation and
evasion. The State Department is
irreverently called high hat" because
it's executives are invariably photo
graphed in silk toppers and formal
dress, and sometimes behave accord
ingly. No matter how good their work
or their intentions the failure of the
State Department officials to sell
themselves to the average citizen con-
stitutes a problem for the President.
1t is becoming increasingly appar-
ent that the subject of "oil" will fig
ure prominently in Congressional af-
fairs. Back of the scenes in the
struggle for the Speakership of the
House of Representatives this COM
modify casts a real shadow. There
are certain state groups, notably Kan
sas and Oklahoma, that feel that their
economic recovery must await an en-
barge or high tariff on oil imports.
Considering the Importance of the oil

Importance in the eyes of the grand

acting to the current situation? The
real wheel-horses of the Republican
and Democratic parties are the county
chairmen in each of the 5000 counties.
What they do in season and out is far
more important than all the pro-
nouncements of the habitues of grand
headquarters. :.
All the strategy of the contemporary
leaders counts for nothing without the
whole-hearted support of the guiding
hands in the political subdivisions.
Unfortunately, those in high places
do not willingly concede the essential

The state chairman is not settled so
firmly in the saddle for changes occur

PINE AND CHISAGO
BOARDS PRAISED
Minneapolis Good Roads Advocate Up.
Holds Publicity on Public Bids
and Good Service.

That the Chisago county board of
commissioners did the proper thing
in rejecting and throwing out all cul-
vert bids, both metal and concrete, at
its last meeting, is the opinion of Tru-
man Pierson, of Minneapolis, interna-
tional president of the Mississippi
River Scenic Highway System, and
good roads advocate. Mr.. Pierson, who
recently drove nearly 500 miles of
Chisago roads and rated the county
management high in excellence from
the taxpayers standpoint, is an arch
enemy of extravaganza, waste and
favoritsm in tax spending and public
purchasing.
Mr.. Pierson, in his statewide trip
of Investigation over Minnesota, has
made several check and double check
trips to Pine county and environs the
past few weeks. While here this week
he paid tribute to the businesslike
efforts of the county board and county
auditor especially for the manner in
which the board publishes details of
its meetings. He said 'Pine county
has set a good example in this cul-
vert pipe game by publishing in full
and in understandable language and
detail the prices bid on culverts. Ev-
cry county should be compelled by
taxpayers to give the culvert letting
details in the same manner With
such complete publication a lot of
'shenanigans' would be eliminated"
Turn the light of publicity" he
continued, compel the intelligent
publication of facts, enforce the pub
lie reading of bids in calm, full and
sufficiently slow and understandable
language, give complete and honest
