Il don't see why"
We'll, Ed has been working hard. trying to
take care Of me, and trying to make a new
start. He's just an innocent boy. I can't hurt
him. Martin. Not just yet"
Surely you're not falling in love with him?"
PLEASE don't, Martin"
But I've got a right to talk. love you.
Dorothy, and you said you loved me- And
we've planned everything so we could be happy.
We deserve to be happy. You have a right to
be happy, dear, just as much as Ed"
Yes, yes, know all that. And did think
it would be all right for us to plan to make
readjustment- is, thought so when I
was in New York. But really, I believe my
mind has changed, and"
uOOROTHY," Powel's voice was almost
desperate, I've got to see you. When
we're together again you'll realize you still
care for me- Please let see you, somehow,
for just a few minutes. Surely, after I've
Travelled TOO miles you won't deny me this
chance"
She was thoughtful again All right, Martin.
1 have an idea. You 60 around to Eds Office.
He'll be glad to see you, and he'll invite you
out to dinner this evening. He won't suspect
thing. Then we can each other"
Very we'll" said Powell. II suppose that
will be better than nothing"
Dorothy hung up the receiver and went back
to her chair slowly. She had forgotten her
magazine. She now sat neditatively, wonder
ing about Martin Powell How would he seem,
after all these weeks? How would he COM
pare with Ed?
Her face lighted up excitedly as she re-
membered the important and handsome execu-
tive, Eds former employer, who had told her
he loved her. And she recalled how thrilled
she had been to hear his fervent words, as
in mt of- he fa
together.
4 hARTIN POWELL symbolized the real New
IVi York to her, trips to Europe fine houses
motors. Martin would have been able to give
her everything Ed had wanted to give, but
couldn't
What had this little country town done to
her, anyway? Surely it couldn't have brought
about any real change in her ideas? Surely
she would still love to have pretty things, to be
waited upon by servants, and all that.
And yet-there was Ed. Good old plod-
ding Ed And his eyes had grown so bright out
here. There had come ruddy glow Of health
to his cheeks. Ed had been happy. Could
she rudely shatter his new dreams and spoil
his life?
But Dorothy would know the answers to all
OF these disturbing questions when she Mar
tin Powell again face to face. Maybe she'd
be able then TO take what the world had to
give Maybe then shed realize how foolish she
was even to consider wasting her life with Ed.
Yet-she somehow wished Martin hadn't
come. And she began to dread seeing him.
Meanwhile, down at his hotel, Martin Powell
had called for a taxicab to take him out to the
factory where Ed Peck worked. He, too was
mecitative as he prepared for the trip.
Il should have come sooner" he thought
Women get fool ideas. But when she sees me
again she'll come to her senses. It's ridiculous

Yes. that was 1t. Old Ed

"how did you happen to land

Postal Blockade in
Manchuria OminOus

Shanghai, July 26.-(R)-A Chinese
postal blockade against Manchuria
tied up postal service Tuesday and
appeared to have widened the breach
between Japan and China over the
northern area.
The national government postal au-
thorities announced that. in accord
ance with their plan to blockade all
postal communication with Manchu-
kuo, 300 Chinese government post
offices throughout the territory have
been closed for the last "a hours.
In addition Chinese customs au-
thorities were considering declaring
customs blockade against Manchukuo,
levying special taxes on all merchant
disc entering or leaving there by way
of China.
japanese officials here were reti-
cent about these developments but it
was indicated Tokyo views them most
gravely. Shanghai is the commercial
distributing center for the Far East,
including Manchukuo, and the opin-
ion was widespread that If these
blockades are maintained for any
length of time Shanghai again is des-
tined to become acutely involved in
the Sino-Jap Manchuria dispute.

At the Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

Are You Listening?" a dramatic
romance based on j. P. McEvoy'S
magazine story of radio broadcasting,
will be the attraction starting tomor-
row at the Capitol Theatre.
The story, laid behind the scenes
Of national broadcasting station,
gives William Haines his first dra-
matte role in which he abandons his
more familiar comedy tricks for a
compelling delineation as radio eX-
ploiteer whose happiness crashes
about his ears as result of an un-
fortunate marriage.
Tells Threefold Romance
The plot revolves about three fold
romance and depicts the various
careers of three small-town sisters
who come to New York to win fame
and fortune. All of them end up in
radio work and it is the inside slant
on their broadcasting activities COM
bined with the depletion of what goes
on in their private lives which gives
the picture its dramatic structure.
Humorous interludes in the broad
casting station, a jazz party in New
York penthouse apartment and other
frolicsome details lend comedy relief
to the serious narrative which under
lies the drama.
Besides Haines, the large cast Of
featured players includes Madge
Evans, who recently scored in Lovers
Courageous" Anita Page, Karen Nor
ley, Neil Hamilton, Wallace Ford, Jean
Hersholt and Joan Marsh. The pro-
duction was directed by Harry Beau
mont of "Our Blushing Brides" fame.

DEMAND FOR GRAIN
CARS This SEASON
BOOSTED GREATLY
Three Times as Many as Used
Last Year Will Be Needed,
Advisory Board Is Told

Superior. Wis, July 26.-(R)-Fore-
casts OF a big crop in the northwest
this year which for grain alone will
require about three times the trans
portation facilities for July, August
and September utilized during that
period last year, were made here
Tuesday by the grain committee of
the northwest shippers advisory board.
Reporting at the boards quarterly
meeting here, the committee after
considerable research, predicted that
grain shipments in the boards terri
tory. Minnesota, Montana, and the
Dakotas. will require $4,000 cars dur
Ing the third quarter.
Last year, 33,337 cars were required
during the quarter while 1929, a good
crop year, recorded the use of 81, 485
cars. The forecast, the committee
said. was predicted on a somewhat
smaller estimate than the government
report of July for wheat with very
nearly the same estimates as the gov
eminent announced for other grains.
Most of the movement of the cars
will be from the country elevators to
the Twin Cities and the ports of Du-
luth and Superior. A grain car has
an average capacity of about $500
bushels. The forecast of $4,000 cars
therefore would indicate movement
of about 147,000,000 bushels.
The report, signed by P. F..
Scheunemann, chairman of the COM
mittee, and o. S. Powell. chairman of
it's research group. both Of Minnea-
polls, asserts that if July forecasts
materialize, the crop this year will be
the largest since 1923.
THE barley crop will be the largest
since 1923 and with that exception,
the largest in history" the report
said. THE oats crop will be the larg-
est since 1925. 1t still Is too carly to
place much reliance on forecasts of
the corn crop, but according to July
estimates the corn crop in the four
states will be the largest in history"

committee covering crops in Mime

and Montana:
