@&IINKNOWN BLOND ssESassS sss:i <;
SYNOPSIS

On . stormy November even- lnE DAVID HARVESTER meets a pretty blond girl and offers her d lIff fn the cab in which he ts riding. Her handbag opens and he secs a revolver inside.
 Next morning Bannister reads that TRACY KING orchestra leader i'm . movie theater, has ben found dead in his apartment Police are searching for an "un- known blond" who visited King the night before. Bannister, re- nnenbering the girl in the taxi- cub. is puzzled.
 He sees her again that uorn- ing. The girl tells him her name is JULIET FRANCE and that she knows nothing of the mur- der.
 He goes to SC his old friend, JIM PAXTON, editor of the Tre- mont Post, and arranges to work on the King murder case for the Post. Paxton introduces J. RAN DOLPH GAINEY, star reporter. While they arc talking the as. sistant city editor calls, They've just brought that girl in"
 CHAPTER VII
 During the taxicab ride to po- lice headquarters, J. Randolph Gainey drew a package of cigarets from his pocket and held them toward Bannister.
 Have one?" he offered.
 Bannister took the cigaret. This girl?" he said. and then stopped because he could not go on.
 The reporter struck a match and held it forward. "Light? he offered.
 Bannister accepted the light.
 Gainey touched the match to his own cigaret. Tt was fast workw he commented. q thought myself all that line about the mysterious blond suspect was just a stall. Especially when Henley wouldn't give us the description" Gainey's voice was quiet and steady but his eyes had narrowed and the blue in them seemed even brighter.
 Do you think she did it? The girl. I mean?"
 The reporter shrugged. How should know? Tracy King must have had plenty of girl friends all right. Probably wasn't above giv- ing them dirty deal either. The rat!" Gainey spat viciously into the air. "I hat crooners," he said. That's what this guy King was. As an orchestra leader he was lousy. The danes fell for him be- cause of the way he sang" Gainey's face assumed an express sion of distaste. "Lousy!" he mur- mured softly.
 But why are. they so sure the girl did it?''
 That" said the other quietly, "you will have to get from your friend, Police Chief James Adol- phus Henley"
 The cab turned @ corner and a moment more drew up at the curb. Gainey flashed a card in the taxi drivers face and dashed into the building, followed by Bannister.
 Where's McNeal?" Gainey de- manded of the sergeant at the desk.
 Upstairs. They're all up there."
 Two steps at a time Gainey mounted the stairs. Bannister was only a few feet behind, his breath coSning rapidly. On the second flocr the reporter turned left down a corridor. Half way to the end,

FRUIT PUDDING MAKES USE
 OF CRUMBS
 By SISTER MARY
NEA Service Stan Writer

Plum buildings are ideal desserts for winter menus. While we usu- ally think of plum pudding in con- nection with Christmas, variations of it are welcomed by most des- sert lovers.
 The ages and tastes of her guests will enable the hostess to choose the pudding best suited to her needs. A rich plum pudding served with a rich sauce is not suitable for children, but there are plenty of delicious buildings that will please both children and adults without danger of over-taxing small digestions.
 Stale bread and biscuit crumbs can often be used to advantage in fruity buildings. Cracker crumbs are also frequently used with the result that the buildings are very light and fluffy.
 The following recipe uses up leftover baking powder or soda biscuits and the pudding is deli- cious.

In acknowledgement of my own advocacy of bananas as a staple in the dietary one importer once sent me barrel of bananas, am credibly informed, but the boys in the press room sniffed the barrel and I never got sniff of the contents. Gosh, and how I like pea nuts, too. Yet for all my recom- mendations of peanuts as good wholesome economical nourishing food, I've never received peanut and wouldn't think or say any more about peanuts if I did.
 One of the conclusions this Co., lumbia research presents is so much hooey, in my judgment. It says:
 'The low content of protein
 in the fresh pulp makes it an
 excellent means of increasing
 caloric value in diets without
 increasing protein intake (for
 example) in nephritic diets).
 This implies that diet in nephri- tis (Bright's disease) must contain only limited amount of protein. There is no scientific ground for the assumption. But then, the man who conducted this great research on the banana is not a physician and so could not be expected to know. However, still recommend liberal use of ripe raw banana in the diet of infant, child and adult especially for malnutrition, consti- patton, and colitis.

 Answer-A bottle of beer Is an indefinite quantity. Seldom more than three-fourths of a pint in these parlous times. If we concede that the beer contains 3.2 per cent alcohol and that the alcohol is oxidized and utilized by the body as fuel or food, a bottle of beer may be counted as yielding ap- proximately, 175 calories. That is approximately what you get from half a pint, large glassful of milk.

Harry Watson to Patrol
Eastern Benton County

Harry Watson Of Kennewick, newly
appointed state game protector, was IN
White Bluffs Monday in the interests
of game law enforcement. He stated
that anyone fishing for whitefish must
have a fishing license on his person.
In the past, enforcement Of this law
has been lax, but under the new state
control system, all violations Of any
game law will be prosecuted. The bag
limit of thirty fish or twenty pounds
of fish must also be observed, he said.
Mr.. Watson at present is patroling
the district comprising the eastern
portion of Benton county and Franklin
county, while Nick Palmer, who for
merly covered this territory, will patrol
the western and southern portions Of
Benton county. These districts are not
absolute, and game protectors from any
area are authorized to make arrests
in any portion of the state.

Irrigation Year
Draws To Close

The irrigation season In the Praest
Rapids valley will come to close mid
night, September 30, when the wafer
is turned out Of the ditch by the Ff1est
Rapids Irrigation District.
Immediately after the close Of the
irrigation season, improvements ana
repairs will be made on the system.
While the extent of the work Is as YET
undetermined, it is probable that the
No. 2 turbine at the Priest Rapids
power plant. will be either repaired or
replaced, and the power canal deep
ened, in order that power may be gen.
Grated the year around in the future
Directors of the district report a
successful irrigation season. Several
occurrences, however, caused some
trouble. During the early part OF the
season the ditch washed out near the
lower end, the water being turned OH
several days until this was repaired
Several weeks ago, lightning caused 8
break in the power output.

White Leghorn Hen Vies
Vocally with BOOSTERS

Local Hen Makes Good in a Big
Way" might be the head for a story
concerning one of the White Leghorns
on the Frank Taylor ranch. AS pull
let she kept her potentialities strictly
to herself, laying eggs with the rest
of the flock and in no way distinguish
ing herself. But now, in her second
year, she has risen above the masses
by developing a stentoriously rooster
ish voice and combining the functions
of the two sexes. Not only does she
attend to her daily stint in the mat
ter of eggs, but she also greets the
dawn and rewards the efforts OF her
mates with a "cock-a-doodle-do 600
worthy of the great Chanticleer.

Prompt Attention Needed
For Eradication of Weeds
INV County Agent E. c. Durdle)

(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)
It seems impossible to keep the indi-
ividual farmer posted as to the various
perennial weeds which may become
serious problems on the farm. Just last
week we contacted farmer on another
problem and while on the farm had
occasion to identify four perennial root
stock weeds for this man. Some of these
were growing on new land which had
lust been cleared and put under cul-
tivation. There was probably a total
of to so per cent to &C per cent of an
acre covered by these four weeks.
When the farmer finds that he Is
against q situation of this kind he
naturally wants to know what is the
solution and as we told this grower 1t
seems to us that the logical solution Is
the treatment of this area with one OF
the chlorate weed chemicals. This Will
mean that this land must be out OF
production for two years and that some
inconvenience of farming the land
must be met in order to eradicate the
trouble. It is either this or cropping
right through the weed area with
strong probability that within three OF
four years he may have five or s1z
acres of them to eradicate at a cost
which will prohibit making this aree
economically worth Kidding OF weeds
We wish that it we're possible tx
thoroughly check individual farms To-
this particular problem but this o
lcourse is out of the question as far a.
agents visits are concerned. II tn
individual farmer however will be OF
look out for any weed that experience
has shown is difficult to eradicate b.
f1oeing or cultivation, then bring speci
mems to the agent for identification, II
many instances the problem could b
taken care of before 1t becomes on
which requires SIS to $40 in the wa
of chemicals to eradicate.

Warehouse News
Codding-H
Warehouse

Flora Montgomery has left us to go
to school but we have two new sorters,
Aletha Hemker and Mrs. Holmskog.
Five of the sorters have been waving
the white flag. But 1t isn't the sign OF
peace. It's the sign of cold and the
white flags are handkerchiefs. We have
begun to think that the warehouse has
been transformed into hospital judg-
ing from the cough syrups, vaporole
and mentholatum that have been In
use. However, the medicine seems to
have taken effect. But perhaps we
should give the credit to the swell cider
that Joe Fouty gave to us Monday
noon.
We don't know how the rest of you
feel about prohibition, but Margie II.
isn't that way! She has her bottle at
the sorting table in plain sight.
A new whistle was installed at the
warehouse this week. Its melodious
tones may be heard for miles. Have
you heard? If not, keep your ears open;
it sounds forth morning noon and
night, and if you miss hearing it you're
certainly missing lot.

Regulations For
Dairy Business

Many Washington dairymen Will
eventually be affected by the milk
marketing agreements which are rap
idly being put into effect In all parts
Of the United States, according to the
agricultural extension service, WASH
ington State College. The measures
are being taken by the agricultural
adjustment administration to stabilize
prices, practices and conditions In the
dairy industry so that producers may
get larger returns and market cond1-
lions may be more satisfactory for both
producers and consumers.
The agreements will exert steady
regulating influence through the lie
ensing of all producers and distrlb-
utors in the territory to which they
apply. They tend to adjust total pro-
duction by assigning to each producer
base quantity of milk which he may
produce for market and fixing def
mite percentage of that base quota
which may be sold as Class l milk for
the higher price as fluid milk. Pro-
duction over this percentage brings
smaller returns because it Is classified
as Surplus" milk.
Through the agricultural adjustment
act, milk marketing agreements may be
entered into by dairymen and distrib-
! utors in any milk market where
majority of producers and distributors
are willing to work together.
Secretary Wallace has said that hi
would not force the centralizing powers
of the new law upon farmers unit
they themselves had given sucf
thought to their particular commodit!
problem that they would be willing tx

spective communities, and assume full
responsibility for operating the detail
