Asper swept her into his arms
and carried her to the porch. Then
he returned to several men who had
run to the scene.
A hasty glance at Swergin showed
him that the timber boss was be-

gathered Stan Ball into his arms
tenderly and carried him to room.

feet planted wide. The grin faded
and his eyes began TO bulge. while
one big arm slid to the gun holster
at his hip.
Dona stared at him in surprise.
1t was plain that Swergin was see
ing ghost or worse. Her eyes trav-

Ball standing at the corner of the
building.
Both his hands we're held wide
from his side and his eyes were
fixed upon the timber boss face.
He had not seen Dona on the porch.
I came to get you, Swergin," he
snapped. Go for your gum
Swergin already was pulling at
his holster. Both men bent forward
and two guns cleared almost in

their six guns roared.
Dona could not take her eyes

his gun smoking in his hand.

tie or no mention and attention has
been accorded the fact that the
people of Indiana are asked to vote
on two amendments to the state
Constitution.
The first and most important of
these would make it constitutional

Although many attorneys feel that
such amendment is unnecessary, it
is thought best, by those interested
in seeing that the burden Of taxa

Appeals to the citizens to vote for

EEWER than half the homes in
Il the United States measure up
| to minimum standards OF health
and decency.
Under present conditions no i'm
provement is possible-because the
building industry simply can not
build decent homes for ordinary
folk at prices that ordinary folk can
afford to pay.
These startling assertions come
from Housing America" a little
package of dynamite prepared by
editors of Fortune magazine.
The building industry, declare
the authors of this book, is the sec
ond industry in size in the worlds
greatest industrial nation.
But this industry is not yet indus
trialized; that is, it produces its
product under old handcraft condi-
tions and it has not even begun to
take advantage of opportunities
offered by mass production.
This, they say, is not the indus
trys fault. Building a house is not
the same as building an automobile.
But they do assert that the build
ing industry can enjoy the greatest
industrial boom imaginable if it sub
mits to a complete revamping,
learns how to produce houses in fac
tories, and gets the aid Of far
reaching and effective governmental
housing program.
Unfortunately, there is not room
here to outline this books proposed
program.
1 only can say that the book
points the way to a better life for
the nation and to a new prosperity
for workers and employers alike. 1t
is an immensely stimulating and
thought-provoking piece of work.

gotten around this morning.
Dons had an idea he was up and
OIL riding again. She leaned back
drowsily and drank in the pitch
spiced air from the forest.
A heavy step on the porch aroused
her. She started, wide awake, TO
see Swergin coming up the steps.
He was hatless and his clothes were
badly torn.
1t was clear he was looking for
her, and she waited for him to
speak.
Ball and your old man just met
up on the ridge Swergin began
with cruel bluntneSs.
The color left Dona's face and
she gripped the arm of her chair.
What happened?" she demanded
weakly.
The old man is shot badly"
Swergin lied.
Dona did not cry out, but two
big tears rolled out from under her
long lashes and fell on her clenched
hands.
How could he do it?" she
ehoked.
IF you can stand to ride up
there, you ought to GO Swergin
spoke with trace Of feeling. Il

him in"
What happened to Ball?" Dona
could not keep the question back.
Got away like he always has,"
Swergin snarled.
GO and get horse and I'll try to
ride up with you" Dona spoke
weakly. The shock had been almost
more than she could bear.
Swergin left the porch and strobe
toward the corrals. WINS his back
was squarely turned, fiendish grin
spread over his heavy features.
At the corrals he found no at
tendant and had to do the saddling

minutes.

- clearing with unseeing eyes.
She was torn by conflicting emo
tions.
Stan Ball was a traitor. Worse,
he was a fiend. At that moment
she felt she could stand again I'M
der the tree on the ridge above
and watch him hanged without a
touch of sympathy.
She wished Dudley was at her
side He never had been on hand
when she really needed him and she
wondered if it was always to be
that way.
He furnished very thin barrier

Swergin was leading two horses
up the path. Dona watched him
come and a feeling of loathing crept
over her despite the anxiety that
tugged at her heart.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Heroes
of the United States army, who
wagered their lives, not against a
foreign enemy'S gunfire and gas,
but against the far more terrifying
germs of yellow fever, are to have
a special plot in Arlington cemetery,

Three years ago, congress passed
a bill providing pensions of $125

enlisted men who took martyrs
part in the yellow fever investiga-
tions carried on in Cuba in 1900,
or for their widows and heirs.
There were some twenty-five of
these men, who submitted them
selves for experimentation to prove
that yellow fever is contracted only
through the bite of an infectious
mosquito Of a particular variety.
Major Walter Reed was in charge
of the work.

This was the dramatically alarm
ing picture presented before a farm

by w. H, Bennett, soil scientist of
the United States department of

Erosion, the great foe of Ameri-
can farm land, is going on faster
than even soil scientists believed,
Bennett said With a slope of only
eight feet in a hundred, corn-belt
topsoil loan washes away in a
-hundredth of the time it takes
for its formation. Even with
gentler slope, of four feet in a hun
dred, seven years suffices for the
erosion of the valuable top inch.
The plant food removed from fields
and pastures by erosion is at least
twenty-one times more than that
removed by the crops harvested, the
speaker stated.

Failure of Repeal Vote in

Brewers and their distributors are

of alcohol will be available in wet
states by next April, Washburn fore
cast.
He said he is convinced that the
present lame duck" session of
congress will muster sufficient votes
to legalize brew of at last 2.75 per
cent alcohol by weight, which is
equal to 80 per cent by volume.
Senator James E. Watson is very
much in error when he refers to 2.75

Washburns views are corrobo-

Schrader said there is no doubt
that repeal measure will be passed
at the next session of congress and

This will require years if the
states vote, but it will be sooner if
the states act in convention, he
said.
