stock raisers, In days gone by, have
used it for branding their cattle in
stead Of using the hot iron.
There are many who cannot touch
the plant without having small blis-
tiers appear on their flesh, Just like
those caused by poison ivy. Little
children have had their hand blistered
by the singing milky Juice.
Another report Is to the effect that
bees have been tempted by the nectar
the plant hostess offers, and have
taken sip Of 1t. This nectar, intro
duced into the honey, will spoil 1t
and make the honey uneatable.
Whether or not the bee maidens
gather the pollen for bee bread and
feed it to the young baby bees in
their charge, we do not know.

that when I let you have the cow.
Mary saw the dull red flush that
spread up into Garys face, deepening
the tan. Listen, Cy, you can say
ANYTHING you want to me" he halted,
his hand gripping the hoe handle con-
vulsively, until his knuckles stood
out, bony white, but you can't talk
to her that way"
Mary flashed him tremulous smile.
Dear Gary. Aged beyond his years
by the struggle that had been theirs
for the last 18 months to keep every
thing they possessed from being auc-
toned at sheriff's sale. Up at dawn,
still working long after sundoWn,
never a word of complaint.
Gary, let me handle this, please, "
she begged him.
Mary took a deep breath and faced
old Cy. did you ever hear Of faith
moving a mountain?"
i've heard of it, but amt never
seen it and neither has nobody else.
And listen"
Mary didn't listen. She told him:
"Faith is going to produce $25 for
us"
Faith" old Cy spat again con-
temptuously. This amt Sunday
school lesson. We're talkin' about
the cow and I amt got all day
to talk about it, either. Faith amt
never paid any mans bills yet as
how I know"
ICY Griffith, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself" Mary stood
with her head held high, straight
and slim in her faded blue gingham,
her cheeks flushed, her blue eyes
cleaning a challenge. and behind
the challenge something softer and
deeper. Don't you know that just
accumulating money and land and
and COWS isn't everything. That
there is something greater"
"If there is I amt never found
it. he halted moment pondering.
"Wall," he admitted grudgingly. "the
man 1 got it sold to now amt comm
fer it fer a few days. But, mind you.
it goes with me unless you got the
twenty-five Friday night"
Why'd you tell him that?" Gary
demanded when old Cy was out Of
earsflot. Dejectedly he added: I'VE
can't raise twenty"
Mary silenced him. She took slip
of soiled paper from her apron pocket.
Her eyes were glowing. Read this.
II didn't want to tell you until I
tried it to see If it would work. 1t
has worked-we get the COW three
more days. Anything can happen in

Snow-on-the- Mountains.

"HIS handsome weed has come

most select society Of the
i proud beauties Of the culti-
waited gardens. She has. !
am sorry to say, a bad reputation
among some. She is native to the
Great Plains from Western Mime
sofa to Montana and South to Texas.
But more ambitious lady you never
met. She has adopted several East
ern States, and so well has she flown
her colors, rather her white flag Of
truce, that she has been admitted
into the best flower societies.
1t is not her flowers that have
brought her fame. 1t is her white,
petal-like leaves. She Is known by
the name of ghoSt-fiower, because Of
them.
In open, sunny situations, the
ghost-flower grows to be a very
buxom lady. Where she does not
have to compete with sturdy and
determined grasses, she grows to be
tall, wide and handsome.
When you see q whole field Of them
it looks as If a snow had just fallen.
In gardens, with the right color back
round, the snow-on- he-mountain Is
really a very lovely sight.
AS she is a native of the dry West

on her heels, wiped
the perspiration
from her forehead
with the back of
a grimy h a n d.
Gary, you got to
help me. This is
a big thing. It's

choked. "It's al
most the same as
Rosemary's life"
Before Mary went
to bed she paused
beside RoSemary'S

Gary's. She bent

to catch her baby up and hold her

Rosemary needed was plenty Of fresh

you might even steal cow-do any
thing. Cy couldn't understand that.
God could.
She prayed the next morning and
the next night. Friday came. At noon
Gary didn't even notice the hot bis
cults. Slowly, methodically chewing
each mouthful, his eyes clung to his
plate.

1t might as well be a million. A
lump rose in her throat. She caught
herself up abruptly. A great one
she was, giving up the first thing. OF
course God wasn't going to let her
down. God didn't let down people
who trusted Him. who depended on
Him. A swift sense of well-being
swept through her and she felt better
She felt reaSsured without knowing
why.
At 7:30 o'clock Gary came in with
two pals of foaming milk. Our last

Cy'S coming up the road now"
She caught Rosemary up from her
buggy. She felt tiny baby fingers
clutching at her throat, gurgling softly,
and held her closer as though fearful
old Cy's greedy hands might snatch
her away.
She prayed silently: Dear God, I
am counting on You"
She sank to chair to wait. Silently
she watched Cy come unlimited into
the kitchen. He bit off a chew of
tobacco and rolled 1t around in his
mouth. Holding Rosemary in the
crook Of her arm, she folded her hands
together to still their shaking.
Wal" Cy spat juicily across the
door SILL my old woman says she

INSULL CASE TO
 REACH THE JURY
 ABOUT NOONTIME
Laughter and Tears Were Intermingled as Law-
 yers Gave Addresses

Chicago, Nov. 24- (UP) = The governments case against Samuel Insull, his son, and 158 others charged with using the mails to defraud, will go to jury today. probably by noon. U. s. District Attorney Dwight H. Green, sum marking for the government the evidence offered in 51 court days, promised to conclude before Il q. m. Judge James H. Wilkerson said he would instruct the jury imme- diately. There was laughter and tears in the closing moments of the trial. Bailiffs were mustered to handle the largest crowd since Insull himself testified that VI never had a dishonest thought"
 Kaminski, downcts and stolid, re- piled:
 The white-haired old man, who spent his 18th birthday in court recently, wept openly as Attorney Floyd E. Thompson pleaded with the jury yesterday to send this old man back to his home" Many spectators, numbering the elder Insults petite and aristocratic wife and some of their wealthy friends wept with him. Leslie E. Salter. special assistant attorney general who directed two years of investi- gation of the $143,000,000 crash of Corporation Securities company, quoted dramatically from the laws of Moses and the Golden Rule. As he read from a leather bound Bible the tall, gaunt prosecutor pointed with hand aloft to an oil mural above the jurors heads, depicting Moses on Mount Sani, receiving the 10 Commandments.
 ''The big issue in this case is in- tent," he said. Defense counsel have gone far back for their com parisons, so permit me to go furth- CT back-to the Golden Rule as
 Jesus of Nazareth gave it: DO
 unto others as you would have
 others do unto you Did Samuel
 Insull do that?" Salter disposed of
 Insults three days of testimony, in which he told in detail of his rise to power and the crash of his companies in 1882. with the statc- ment that: "Mr Insull was a crafty old man on the stand. When I questioned him about the middle west utilities stocks he talked of utility investments in 1928. He tried to draw a red herring across the trail"

the efficiency and economy of their operations. This program has since been followed, although under diffi- culties in the last four years be- cause of the depression, lowered traffic and decreased earnings. What the railroads have succeeded in accomplishing over. the ten year period is shown in the following paragraphs, covering Class I lines of which the Jew Haven is one:
 In 1922, the average freight train consisted of 3S cars. In 1883, this figure had been increased to 46 cars, an increase of 21 percent.
 In 1922, each freight train per formed each hour, on the average a service equal to carrying 7,479 tons of freight for the distance of one mile. In 1893 this figure had been increased to 1O,974 ton miles, an increase of AZ percent.
 In 1922, the average freight train speed (counting all stops) was Ill miles per hour. In 1883, this figure had been increased to 15.7 miles per hour, an increase of Al percent.
 In 1922, 163 pounds of coal were required in the freight service to move 1000 tons of freight and equipment for a distance of one mile. In 1893, this figure had been reduced to 121 pounds, reduction of 26 percent.
 In 1922, 17.9 pounds of coal were required in the passenger service to move a passenger train car for the distance of one mile. In 1883, this figure had been reduced to 15.2 pounds, reduction of 15 per- cent.
 Thus the railroads in spite of the unfavorable conditions in the latter part of the decade were able to much of their objective. .

 HMe was put into the prisoners case and guarged by four deputies.
 After Diserict-Attorney Thomas F. Moriarty had moved for. sen- tence, Clerk of Court Charles M. Calhoun, asked Kaminski if he had anything to say before hearing his doom.

 'No."
 Naturally a blond, Kaminski ap- peared today with black hair, black eyebrows and small black mus tache, the results of dye he used to disguise himself while a fugi- tive.
 Judge Brown then addressed the prisoner:
