I To Happy Helper, Scouty said,
 What e'er your plan is, go ahead. lefhe giant wants to make us slaves, lhnd we don't care for that.
 we merely came here for a might, and thought that all would ihe all right. Our plan to look Around bit has fallen very flat"
 "Just wait," replied the new Found friend. "On me you always 'kan depend. This giants always Snaking other people do his work.
 If he would simply do his own, Ed gladly let the man alone, but pow I'm going to teach him that it Hoesn't pay to shirk."
 Then Happy Helper waved his hands and cried, 'The giant un- lHerstands what I am going to do. 4Ie knows that I have mystic bowers.
 Before you tots can stop to &hinlx, you'll see the monstrous fel- Bow shrink. I'm going to make him little. He will stay that way For hours"
 "Aw gee, don't believe you can," Said Goldy. Then she quickly ran bnd hid behind a great big chair. A Frightened girl was she.

The others watched the giant who just didn't know what to do. All of a sudden he cried out, "Oh, have mercy on mel"
 "You're too late," snapped the mystic man. Then, round the giants form he ran. This giant started shrinking. Dotty cried, "Of all the sights!
 He's shrink away, sadly fear. Oh, please don't let him disappear. Just make him about half the size of all the Tinymites."
 The mystic mans hands then were dropped, and right away the shrinking stopped. The giant, now a little lad, turned right around and ran. ..
 "Oh, catch him! Catch him" Goldy cried. "The chances are he'll run outside" Then Windy loudly shouted, T will catch him, if l can."

The headquarters manager will be

The Grand Forks headquarters will

In making the announcement, Holt
said separate headquarters was
necessary as the Republican oppo-

paign thunder.
"The idea of duty-free fodder for
livestock in the drouth-stricken re-
gions of the state did not originate in
Washington" he said. 1T was first
advanced in the councils of the DEM

to Washington for consideration"
For proof of the statement, Holt

Holt asserted the platform was sent

not that I expected to find any
thing you'd missed I just wanted
to see the layout"
"A few things. Did you know
that last week one Of the other
tenants quarreled with Tracy King
and their voices we're so loud at
least a dozen people heard them?
Did you know the other tenant-a
wonan-swore she'd find some way
to get King out of the hotel?"
McNeal's blue eyes widened.
"Whered you get all this?" he de-
manded. L didn't hear anything
about it. 1 was out there all morn

Then I guess they were holding

He repeated the story Mrs. Ken
nebec had told, the story of Melvina
HOLSTERS quarrel with Tracy King
after his cat had killed her canary
bird. He told about the burial of
the canary with flowers from the
florists and about Melvina Hollis

McNeal listened in silence, was
silent for several minutes after Ban
mister had finished.
What do you think of it?" the
younger man demanded. DO you
think it means anything?"
Il think" said the chief of the
detective staff slowly, that I'll be
going out there and having talk
with the Hollister woman myself"
Captain McNeal was scowling and
Bannister understood why. 1t

1t was an affront to his dignity and
his pride.

Bannister, too, had thought it was

know that it was not.

Temporary Aid Given.
But the show Is just starting for
the local folks. BY prearrangements
with the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration. some citizen with a
big barn lot or an old livery stable
takes charge Of the cattle and waters
and feeds them until farmers Of the
neighborhood come for their quotas.
The village turns out in body to
see something few had ever seen be-
fore-a Western range COW on the
hoof. In most cases they are disap-
pointed. They come fully expecting
to gaze on half-wild longhorns that
would Jump over five-foot fences at
the drop Of hat.
Instead, they find cattle quite like
native stock-some Herefords, some
shorthorns, q mixture Of both, and
lot of ordinary nondescripts that
could pass for common moo-cows of
Dixie's tenant farmers. Moreover,
they are as gentle as the family milk
COW for the most part. Southern
people can't understand that, for they
had thought of Western cattle in
terms of great stampedes, with sing
ing cowboys and the like.
Many in Starved Condition.
After the villagers have helped herd

They can't seem to get enough. One
herd of so at Hampton, Ga, drank
$50 gallons without stoping for breath.
Another herd Of 800 plunged into the
Savannah River near Augusta, Ca,
and refused to come out until they
had drunk their fill-which took an
hour or more.
Although an occasional carload Is
found that bears few symptoms Of
starvation, many Of the beasts are
little more than skin and bones. They

eyes that seem to beg for more.
Farmers who have agreed to rent
pasture to the relief administration at
the rate of so cents q month for each
head prepare to receive their charges

But the cattle stroll from village pen
to grazing land with the docility of

not only to wash out all coed compe-

Take Issue With Henderson.
The woman pilots take sharp issue
with a statement attributed to Cliff
ford w. Henderson, managing d.
rector of the races, that there is nc
more place for woman pilots in the
high-speed free-for- air race game
than there is a place for woman
drivers on the speedway at Indiana
polls"
On behalf of woman flyers, the
"99er" contends that, even should the
high-speed races be barred to women
there is no reason why they should
not be permitted to fly In the lower
speed events, pointing out several
events in the program for the coming
national races for which q qualifying
speed of only 125 miles per hour Is
required.
1t has been pointed out that few
woman pilots own or are able to ac-
quire the costly high-speed racing
planes suitable for competition In the
national races. They declare that the
only way man or woman flyers in the
past have been able to get "the sort
Of jobs which pay enough money tc
enable them to own high-speed jobs OF
their own or to convince hackers OF
manufacturers to provide them with
ships was by means OF the distinction
! they are able to earn In competitive
flying"
TITS too bad he (Mr. Henderson,
did not stop to ponder that fact be-
fore he arbitrarily barred women from
all part in the most important flying
competition of the year." the woman
flyers said.
Replying TO a statement attributed
| to Henderson that the death IN the
national air races last year Of Flor.
ence Klingensmith had q large part
to play In his decision to bar women
the 99ers said:
Flying is not conceivably the kind
of sport In which frst-rate ability
and courage on the part Of one wo-
man buys disqualification and defeat

Airplane Building Grows.
