"Did he go In or near the houser
"No, sir. We started right Off"
They dismissed the two men, who
went away. The colonel said:
Nov, Judge, if my theory is cor
rect, we'll find that pistol on the
river bottom near the shore. He was
not expecting company when he got
here. He had cast away the oversuit.
He thought that he would have time
to hide the revolver. He had hurried.
They sang out to him. He slowed up
and dropped his weapon. He had for
gotten about those cartridges in the
old jacket or else he intended to dis
pose of them when he came in"
Shad went out in the boat with the
colonel. He lay over the bow of the
boat, face downward, while the col
onel in the stern padded.
Il see something shiny" said the
boy after a few minutes "It's over
my head, guess. I'll dive for it If
you'll hold the boat"
Shad threw off his clothes and when
the shiny object was again in view
he dove out of the boat and swan to
the bottom. Quickly he came up with
a revolver in his hands, its nickeled
barrel cleaning in the sunlight. They
went ashore. With heavy heart
Shad dressed himself. He knew not
what to think of all this He stood
confused and sorrowful in the midst
of the ruins of his faith. What could
he say now? Both he and Bony had
suspected that Bumpy Brown would
not spoil story for the need of a
lie, but why had, he lied about the re-
volver and put his life in danger by
doing it, unless he. were really guilty?
The colonel stood examining the
weapon.
"There is no rust" he said. ''It has
been only few hours in the water.
There are five exploded shells In its
magazine-one for Pierson, one for
Mrs. Doolittle, two for the old gentle
man, one that was fred outside the
house to brighten possible pursuers.
This is the revolver that did the
work."
Turning to Shad, he remarked:
well, boy, I'm afraid that you have
been in rather bad company"
Shad did not answer him.

IOWA reports the largest corn crop in
Its history-over 500,000.000 bushels.
yet much of this will be burned for fuel
during the coming winter or permitted
TO rot IN the fields without even being
harvested, for the price offered in the
market IS such that the farmer cannot
even meet production costs through its
sale.
AT the same time there are millions of
hungry Americans for whom that corn
would mean comparative comfort dur
ing the winter months, but they must 90
without it.
This is indeed a deplorable condition
IN country which prides itself upon its
efficiency. 1t is not new condition. 1t
has happened before, but it is particu-
larly irritating this year when many of
these hungry persons will be entering
their fourth year of dire need.
We take considerable glory in having
the tallest buildings in the world; the
fastest automobiles, produced in the
greatest quantities; the greatest steel
plants; better means of communication
and transportation than any other coun-
try on the globe. We even glory in the
extent of our farming operations, but
what good does it do us to have the
largest farms, producing the greatest
crops, if millions of our fellow citizens
are hungry in the midst of plenty.
For two or more seasons wheat has
been piled up in warehouses, while these
hungry millions were unable to buy
bread or the material with which to
make it.
We have the ability to produce and
the facilities for providing distribution
of the produce, but we don't seem to be
able to get the two working together so
as to supply the demand.
Personally we are not clever enough
to suggest a remedy for the existing con-
dition. But there must be some remedy.
A nation that can produce men who will
create and develop the telephone, the
electric light, modern transportation,
and countless other accomplishments,
certainly should be able to produce one
mind which can show us the way out of
this labyrinth so that the western farm
er will not be making fires of that which
will sustain hundreds of thousands of
lives in other sections.
Until we can accomplish this, we
should speak very low when we describe
ourselves as the most progressive and
enlightened nation in the world.

ito would have stood those plotters up

SOVIET PLANNING

MOSCOW, Oct. 13. - Notwith-
standing the economic difficulties
which beset the land, the Soviet
capital is preparing for celebra-

revolution, November z, without

already under way.
All the leading artists and

You may have some, too."
Some what?" asked Uncle Wig

Some of the treat the bugs

Then Uncle Wiggily knew what
had caused the humming, buzzing
sound. And he knew what the
sweet stuff was the children were
eating.
why, the honey bugs have
brought you honey!" exclaimed the
rabbit gentleman. Honey bugs are
bees, you know. Be careful they
don't sting you, my dears."
"Oh, we will not sting these rain
bow children" said one of the
honey bug bees as it placed more
of the sweet, sticky honey on the
leaf plates. "Bub and Bah were
kind to us. They found the hol-

Wiggily.
Maybe they don't sting any

"Oh, yes we dol" buzzed one oi

Just then the Black Bear, shut

SMOKING OUT HIRAM

We wish our fellow editors of Southern
W California success in their efforts to
smoke out Hiram Johnson, but we
have grave doubts on their ability to get
a flat-footed declaration from Hiram.
There is an ancient maxim about the
difficulty of teaching an old dog new
tricks. Hiram has been a law unto him.
self for such long time that making
him jump through the hoop at this late
date will require highly skilled and de-
termined ringmaster.
The senator is listed in the congress
sional directory as Republican With
the exception of 1912 when he went on
the Progressive ticket for vice presi-
dent, he has always campaigned as a
Republican. Republican votes elect
ed him in the first place and have kept
him in public office for more than two
decades. But despite the party label,
he has always been his own law.
He has taken particular delight in be-
deviling the Hoover administration for
Hiram has long memory and he can
never forgive Hoover for permitting his
name to be used as a candidate in 1920
when Hiram wanted the presidential
nomination himself
The editors have a right to ask him to
commit himself definitely regarding his
stand on the national Republican ticket,
and we suppose Hiram has the right to
refuse to answer or to give an answer
that can mean anything or nothing at
all.
Hfram's flirting with the Democratic
candidate on the occasion of the latter's
visit to California, was not in good taste
from Republican point of view 1t is
this incident that has prompted the
question from the editors
Off-hand it looks as though the editors
have put Hiram ION the spot He can
hardly afford to ignore the interest of
20 newspapers, but Hiram has been
known to do the unorthodox thing be-
fore and he may do it in this instance.
But 1884 is only two years off and per-
haps he may take that into considera-
tion, <or Hiram, after all, is politician.
