SYNOPSIS


Lila Hendrix, daughter of veal
thy Michigan fruit grower, is secret
Nv in love with Ford Ransom, hand
some young vacatiOnist who comes to
Leland every year. Ford, however, con-
siders Lila only a native" and pays
little attention to her. One day, she
overhears him complaining to Delicla
Stratwell, known as the Gay Divorce,
because his radio is out of order and
he can't listen-in to a fight broadcast.
SummOning her courage, Lila invites
the couple to her home to hear 1T.
Lila envies Delicia's gayety and non
chalance.
Next day, at tea with Delicia, Lila
confides in her hostess that she wants
love, that she loves Ford, a confirm
ed bachelor. Delicia cOncOcts a
scheme to help Lila win him. They
lead Ford to believe that Lila loves
another man but is handicapped be-
cause she knows little of counting
technique. He agrees to act as sub
iect for Lila to practice on, feeling
free to play around with her as long
as his freedom is not jeOpardized.
Later, returning from a dance, Ford
asks Lila if she wants to be kissed
yet. Oila longs to be in his arms but
she remembers Delicia's warning
"Never let a man know what you are
really thinking. Always spread layer
of nonsense over your thOughts.") So
Lila replies, whats the right an
swer to that?"
AS time goes on, Ford cares more
and more for Lila and resents the ap-
preaching arrival of her mythical boy
friend. Ford cOnfides in Delicia and
says he is going away. Unknown to
Ford, Delicia has arranged for Lila
to listen in on the conversation so she
can hear for herself how much he
really cares.

CHAPTER Nv

with Ford? Why! asked Lila.
"You remember I told you I dared
Ford to leave a party in New York
and drive me to Leland? Well, that
was when had Don just where you've
got Ford. I let him think for two
days I'd eloped with Ford. Just to
show him how he'd feel if he had to
get along without me. And he pro-
posed the minute he got here"
"I'm scared, Delicia," confessed Lila
"Maybe-maybe Ford won't"
Don't be silly" said Delicia. "Of
course he will. Now today, you tell
him how worried you are because the
other mans coming and you hate to
have your glorious friendship with
Ford interrupted"
"But suppose" worried Lila.
Everything else worked out just
the way 1 said it would, didn't it ?
Well, then. You do as say, and the
day before your fictitious sutton is
supposed to arrive, Ford will grab you
up and run away with you. You'll
see."
at makes me so ashamed to trick
him so," said Lila mournfully. "When
he trusts me. And he's told me he
doesn't want to get married. Maybe
he means it.
"Of course he means it. At least
he thinks he does. But he's head
over heels in love with you and he
won't know it until he thinks he's
going to lose you. If you don't be-
lieve it, come back and listen outside
my window after he takes you home
tonight. You'll hear exactly how that
young man feels"
~ might hear something I didn't
want to hear" said Lila shrewdly.
But she was there just the same. She
ran back along the short cut through
the cherry orchards and got there just
a moment after Ford had parked his
car in his own garage and gone stamp
ing in on Delicia and Don.
Ford was standing in the middle of
the room with highball in his hand,
his hair ruffled and a glum expression
on his handsome face.
"You wouldn't put up job on me,
would you, Delicia? After all these
years of friendship" he asked.
"What do you mean, a job?" asked
Delicia, from Don's arms.
"Well-Lila isn't after me, is she
1 wouldn't wait for morning to run if
I thought she was, because sure am
weak where that girls concerned"
Don't be silly" scoffed Delicia, all
big-eyed innocence. "Her sweetie is
coming directly college exams are
over. You're just out of luck, big
boy. All she's been doing with you
is a little target practice. And il
looks to me as if she'd made bulbs
eye.'
"I'm afraid you're right" groanet
Ford, dropping into a chair and ruff
fling his already ruffled hair.
"Of course, you want her because
you can't have her." jibed Delicia will
elaborate carelessness. "You wouldn'
even have noticed her, if there hadn'
been another man she had her hear
set on"
ct don't see why this fellow has t.
come along just now and spoil m!
summer" gloomed Ford. 81 neve

troller, announced late in the week
that he was taking steps to obtain
the indictment of Alfred McGlone,
former Minneapolis hotel steward, on
perjury charges.
McGlone testified before the inves-
tigating committee that he had bought
$3.50 worth of silverware. dishes and
upholstered furniture for big
Three" dining room in the capitol.
1t was later revealed, however, that
McGlOne was only a seeker of a job
as manager of the capitol cafe, and
had nothing to do with any purchases
for it.
"McGlones story was maliciously
false and fraudulent" Mr.. Pearlove
said.
None of the furnishings which he
alleges were bought were ever pur-
chased or even contemplated. Nc
Clone never was engaged as manager
Of the capitol restaurant or ever had
anything to do with it,
Would Cut SolOns' Pay.
A bill which is Likely to cause con-
siderable battling in the Legislature
has been introduced by Senator Haus-
Ter. 1t provides for cutting the sal
airy of representatives from $1,000 to
$3.50 for their twO-year term, and
that of senators from $4,000 to $1,70O
for their four-year term. 1t also pro-
vides that the mileage allowance to
legislators-one return trip-shall be
cut from Is cents a mile to S cents
a mile.
The Legislature has before it bill
which would abolish the Big Three
and place many of its functions under
the control of the Republicans. 1t
would abolish the Commission of Ad-
ministration and Finance and trans
fer all purchasing duties except those
for the Highway Department to the
Board of Control, and the personnel,
budget and comptroller functions to
the state auditor, which office is now
held by a Republican.
Senator Harry Wing of Carlton, has
introduced bill providing for the
creation of a state building commits
sion, to consist of r. w. Hitchcock,
former representative, who was the
publicity director for the Republicans
in the last campaign, Ray Quinlivan
of St. Cloud. and Gustav Widell of
Mankato. former senator. All are
conservatives.

amended House bill which before
the Senate amendments were made,
provided for reverting to the rates
prevailing before 1888, while keeping
the minimum fees of SIS and $3.50 for
older cars which have been in force
for the last two years. The reduced
rates expired this year and without
new legislation the old rates are auto
matically restored.
1t is expected that conference COM
mittee action will be necessary to-
iron out the differences between the
Senate and House.
Prior to 1888 the motor vehicle reg
istration fee, which is the only tax
on automobiles, was placed at "a per
cent of the factory price Of the car.
On new 81 900 car that would be $24.
On a $4,000 car it would be $3.50.
Considering the investment in the car
the tax is low enough
Car Owner Saves SIG.
If a $1,000 car, instead of paying
motor vehicle license fee, were as
sessed as personal property. it would
be assessed at 40 per cent, or $780,
In taxing unit with 100 mill rate
the personal property tax Of such car
would be $40. The motor vehicle fee,
being $24. is far below the $40 tax
which the owner of the car would
have to pay if it were assessed as
personal property.
If a $4,000 car were taxed as per-
sonal property it would be assessed
at $4,000 and would pay tax of 5000;
therefore, the motor vehicle tax of
$3.50 is low as compared with other
property taxed in the general property
tax manner.
In the session of 1893 the writer
introduced bill for minimum tax
of So on old Fords weighing less than
1000 pounds and seven years old or
older and 81 minimum on old cars
weighing over 1000, but seven years
old or older-the Chevrolet type.
Members of the Legislature compro-
missed between that bill and others
with the result that the minimum
motor vehicle taxes for 1888 and 1884
were placed at SIS and $3.50 respec-
lively
Used by Farmers.
These old cars are purchased for
amounts ranging from $40 to $50
Such cars are used by farmers and
workers and for running errands by
folks who cannot afford better cars
1t will readily be seen that a SIS
rob az
$25 is high when compared with a tax
of $40 on a new $1,000 car, or a tax
of 5000 on a new $4,000 car.

Reads Editorial
Dockweiler read IN editorial point
ing out that the United States has
distinct right to protect our pos
sessions from Japan or any other
nation.
Here he was interrupted by Nc
Swain who said.
1T is the desire OF this commit
tee TO eliminate anything that might
be distorted into an expression OF
aggression. We always instruct the
committee reporter 10 strike out the
word Japan or England or any other
specific nation.
Dockweiler agreed with the chair
man but Immediately launched his
charges against japanese in his
state.
7 am convinced that Il We should
have any trouble with Japan,
Dockweiler said, there would spring
up overnight on the Pacific coast
an army OF 25,000 trained japanese
reserYists.
These l5o fishing boats are able
to cruise 5000 miles. They Were
built with subsidies from the jap
anese government. They are equip
ped with Diesel engines. One OF
these ships has air tanks which
could be adapted TO discharge tor
pedoeS. They are all braced TO ham
ole small cannon or machine guns"
japanese naval reserve officers,
Dockweiler said, captain the fish
ing boats.
Il was informed on good author
ity and that thes boats cruise out to
sea and meet japanese warships.
There reserve officers are ex-
changed. The officers which have
completed their tour of duty on
the fishing boats go aboard the
uarship and a new officer takes
his place"
DockWeiler charged that the jap
anese fishing fleet followed the
United States fleet when it came
through the canal TO the Atlantic
coast last spring and concentrated
off the Panama Canal.

farther in his criticisms. To his
statements We're added the spirited
denunciation of the New Dealn by
