If Nancy eats that big wedge, now, Miss Columbine, she won't have any appetite for supper"
 "Oh, leave us beW returned the older woman with impatience. Leave us be! Here's your piece, Matthew, and don't drop frosting on the carpet. Stand close to the stove, all of you, and let the crumbs fall into the coal bod. And be sure to tell Aurora Tubbs how good It is. That's why she's hanging round the door,"
 Its greatr' grinned Jack, at which Aurora beamed.
 "It's simply marvelous" said Nancy.
 
 The smile widened; while Mark Adam, an appreciative hand upon his stomach, murmured: Its su- perb, Aurora. I warn you now, Miss Columbine, when I get married I aim to steal your cook"
 wouldn't 1t be better to marry the cook herself and keep her in the familyf" suggested Matthew sol emnly.
 This suggestion, coming from a hitherto silent, and obviously bash full young man, was not short of amazing. Nance glanced at Mat thew with new interest; but Aurora bristled.

 No. Mark was steering the car between two sagging gate posts. Nance stared ahead. Was this the boasted family mansion-thls hide ous frame house with peeling mus tard-colored paint and preten- tious tower at one corner? A wave of rebellion swept through the girl i; and something curious seemed to be happening to. her ears. She raised her hands to press against them, but heard Cousin Columbine say quickly:
 Ears popping7 That's only al- titude, my dear. We're nearly nine thousand feet above the sea, and on almost the very spot where I was born. Father built this house after he struck silver at Leadville in '78. As you see, It's in need of a coat of paint; but it needed something else a great deal more so the paint must wait year CT two.

 Fingers were made before forks, Aurora, and It's not q party" re- piled Miss Columbine, much to Jacks amusement. Just bring the cake and a knife to cut 1t. I prom ised Matthew a piece, and I'll keep my word if we have to bake again tomorrow. You make . splendid chocolate cake, Aurora Tubbs, though as a rule don't compliment people to their faces"
 As the woman, somewhat modified at this praise, departed on her un- welcome errand, Columbine Nelson chuckled audibly.
 Poor Aurora 1 I've no doubt she expected to make q great impress sion by bringing in that layer cake at supper. But those boys arc hungry. most likely, and they've still five miles to go. Come in. both of you," she called as steps sounded on the stairs. "No, Matthew Adam, don't try to escape out the front door. I've a slice of cake for you {; though Aurora Tubbs Is ready to slay me for suggesting that we cut into her handiwork"
 "It's not the cutting 1 mind, Miss Columbine," Aurora corrected, ap- bearing through one door as the boys came in another, "but seeing 1t disappear so-so rapidly. It's a handsome cake, I think you'll all agree. Shall I do the cutting, Miss Columbine? I declare, 1t seems al- most pity"
 What do you think that cake is for, Aurora?" snapped Miss Columbine. "A parlor ornamentT" (Nancy smiled though the phrase sounded unpleasantly familiar). "I'll cut the thing myself, or these young folks will go hungry"
 You don't need to cut 'em quite so thick" remonstrated the anxious woman, lowering near. That's Q four-layer cake, Miss Columbine, and a wedge two inches at the widest parts enough for anyone.

CHAPTER "

:. And all that saved me" wrote Nancy in her first letter home, twas the arrival of Aurora Tubbs on the side porch"
 This was quite true. As the girl cast wildly about in search of an answer that would conceal her state of mind, a woman, so short, and stout, and brightly attired that she made Nance think of the colored "cubes" she used to play with in Kindergarten, fairly burst upon them through doorway which looked too narrow to admit her. She wore dress of brightest blue bird blue, and her squareness was accentuated by a starched white apron, tied snugly in the spot in- tended by nature for a waist-line.
 "So you're here?" she asked, as If her eyes deceived her.
 "The fact Is evident, I believe" ]" returned Miss Columbine These are my young cousins. Aurora, and I've no doubt they're glad to reach their destination. This is Aurora Tubbs, my dears, whom you've heard me mention. Goodness knows what I'd have done without her all these long years"
 Pleased to meet you," said Au- rora, and shook hands with Jack, first to alight from the automobile. "And you too, Nancy. Might as well call first names right off, 1t seems to me, and not be formal. I see you're wearin' a fur coat, but aren't your legs most frozen in silk stock ings? I'll take that bag, Miss Col umbine. Mark Adam, you set that box O canned stuff on my kitchen table. Come right in, Jack and Nancy, and make yourselves at home. Here's Matthew now. I see you brought two trunks"
 Nancy found herself a little breathless, not entirely the effect of altitude. She had expected Au- rOra Tubbs to be sort of servant, and here she was acting the part of hostess It was very confusing. Nance didn't know just what to do. Perhaps Mark Adam sensed her di- lemma for as he shouldered his bur den the corners of his nice mouth twitched with amusement, and his blue eyes, meeting hers, were dis concerting.
 Come in, every one," said Cousin Columbine, stepping down from the car with youthful agility. Turn to the left, and go into my sitting room. I close the parlor during the cold weather. This carpet came from Chicago in 1SSO-the first car pet in Pine Ridge, I'll have you know. Mark. Adam, you and Mat thew carry those trunks right up, please. Which is yours, Nancy that queer stand-up onef Put 1t in the tower room. Mark, and the other In the northeast chamber. Aurora, bring in the chocolate cake"
 Not my beautiful fresh cake, Miss Columbine r protested the woman in shocked rebellion. Not my good chocolate cake made for suppeff if those Adam boys once set their teeth Into t we're lucky

Name of corporation witflheld)
Los Angeles, Calf.
Gentlemen:
We have your letter. of June l6.
inquiring as to the progress Of Ra-
mie plants in this soil and climate.
We would advise that there have
been no quantity paintings of Ra-
mie in this locality, although inter-
mittently for years single cuttings
have been put out with varying re-
suits.
Ramie does quite well on our me-
dium textured soil in the Colorado
basin, and 1t is believed that the
crop has a future here. Cultural me-
thods, fertilizing practices and irri-
Cation however must be evolved here
locally in order to cope with econ
omic conditions now prevailing.
Upon completion Of the All-Amer-
ican canal, we are informed by those
who have studied the matter, there
will be a real scope for development
of Ramie culture. In the meantime
field culture problems should be
studied and nursery stock made
available.
We shall be glad to be of assist
ance to you if you plan any expert
mental or commercial paintings
here. 1t seems to be definitely es-
tablished that Ramie will do well
here and undoubtedly its culture
prove practicable and profitable.
Yours very truly,
Robert Hays, Secretary-Manager,
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce.

CODE OF THE SEA

The code of the sea, women and children
first" and pretty much all the traditions which
have so impressed the landsman, have been thor
oughly debunked by the gruesome facts brought
out following the burning to death of 1874 people
in the Moro Castle disaster. Here are some Of
the facts developed
Ships answer the SOS because they get paid
for it.
It is expensive, therefore, to send an SOS;
Captain Warns did not order the SOS until his
radio equipment was all but destroyed.
Chief officers loaded 1ifeboats with crew mem
bers and left the passengers to burn.
A fast coast guard vessel which might have
saved more lives was on the way to bring Min
lister Ruth Bryan Owen home from Denmark.
Fishermen who offered their aid were told by
the coast guard they were not needed. Hours
later they saved many, some dying from ex-
haustion after being brought ashore, however.
The steamer President Cleveland waited for
4S minutes after approaching the burning vessel
before lowering lifeboats; then nonchalantly
steamed away while victims drowned. Pay for
rescue work is by the head and other ships had
collected most of the easy money.
OdpbdAh w a. Alio5 wiz QSldJ VI AAN AloN dioA ~
apparently until the equipment was destroyed
and delayed the SOS until the fire was sighted
by other ships, showed his one great enthusiasm
when promised that he would be towed in free.
Remember that promise" he admonished vic
tins on the burning vessel.
Captain Warns had been punished and dis
charged in 1926 for failing to hold fire and boat
drills. But the Ward Line hired him again; and
the Inspector who signed his suspension order
in 1926 mentioned no word of that bad record
when the captain was on the stand in the present
hearing.
The chief engineer told his crew to stay in the
engine room as long as they could stand it
then dashed for a lifeboat for himself. He
escaped, together with one passenger, many
members of the crew.
Lifeboats left the ship practically empty and
picked up no victims from the sea.
They were so faulty anyway that if fully
loaded they might have sunk.
In short, the real code Of the sea seems to be;
Profits first; let women and children burn.
Montana labor news., 1934-09-27
WHY?

Why is it that according to the reports of the
u. S. Department of Labor that the retail cost
of sirloin steak, round steak, chuck roast, rib
roast, pork chops, veal outlets, lamb chops and
hens is an average of o. cents less per pound in
Butte than the average price Throughout these
United States?
Are the food retailers, out of the kindness of
their hearts, giving the people of Butte the
benefit of their experience in purchasing and
merchandising these commodities, thereby
bringing the price of living down to meet the
shortage of purchasing power? Or is it just
barely possible that some of the answer to these
questions can be also found in this same report?
For instance In the 81 cities of the United
States covered by this report the price of pure
lard is higher in Butte by l cent per pound, the
highest price is also paid here for sweet potatoes
by the same margin of l cent per pound, and
the purchasers of celery pay "a cents per pound
more in Butte than in any other community.
This same fair city of ours also rates first in
the prices charged for bananas, lemons, No. 2H
canned pineapple, black eyed peas and sugar; we
rate second in the prices paid for corn flakes,
10 ounce cans Of pork and beans and salt; and
third in the price paid for white bread and lima
beans.
It is interesting to note the high price paid
for sugar with the refinery located less than
$50 miles away in Missoula. Is it because this
is the only refinery in western Montana and be-
cause we are RECALLED with Hawaiian melodies
that this is so, or is it the high wages paid to
Montana labor in the beet fields of western
Montana?
While the sugar price is at the top the price
paid for molasses in Butte is the third from the
lowest price reported. Strange, isn't it?
Another report from the Consumers Division
of the AAA showing how the price Of foods has
increased from April "a, 1884, to July 81, 1884,
