VIDE. All day it hummed with
traffic. but at night it was almost still.
There wasn't much business for the gas
station after dark, but old Jed Whipple kept
it open just the same. He sort of enjoyed it,
he said He'd sit in the rocking chair outside
and smoke his pipe and watch the stars and
the fire-flies. His collie dog Grover would
sleep at his feet, and the sheriff's cat would
come to visit from across the road.
1t was ten o'clock the best time of night.
The stars were out, the whippoorwills were
throbbing in the swamp. Jed was enjoying
things lot. He didn't like it much when a
car slid up to the gas pump and disturbed his
reverie.
He got up, though, and went over to the
car. There was only one person in it, a smallish
young fellow in light suit and fawn- -colored
hat. He hoped out on the far side of the car
and came around to the pump.
How many2" asked old Jed in his soft
voice.
The young man didn't answer. He stared
into Jed's mild eyes, He compressed his lips.
Then with a quick weasel-motion he
snatched at an inside pocket and jerked out
a blue-steel automatic.
This is a stick-up, grandpa" he snapped.
Get in the station. And keep your mouth
shut"
Jed Whipple shock his grey head sadly.
"You feIlers are gettin' awful thick" he
said. You're the fourth this summer"
Get in there"
II wish you'd put that gun away" sug-
gested Jed. ITS dangerous. And amt"
The young man took a menacing step for

shoulders. He led the young
man into the station and
pressed key on the cash
register. The drawer flew
open.
"Ain't much in it, son" he
said apologetically, as if to 81,
break the bad news
The young man looked
with disgust at the single dol
lar bill, the few quarters, and
the handful of nickels and
pennies.
Where is it2" he threat
ened, prodding the old mans
ribs with the gun. Where do you keep ?"
Il don't keep it, son." said Jed Whipple
softly. II send it out as soon as get it."
"Boloney! been watching this place since
sw-down. You done lot of business while
back, and you amt been out"
Jed Whipple smiled. "The dog takes it
out" he said calmly. "I'll show you, son."
He whistled. The collie woke up and trotted
eagerly into the station.
Watch this, son." said Jed.
He tore slip of plain white paper from
tablet on the desk. He rolled it up and put it
into the dogs mouth
Take it to Tom, Grover" he ordered.
The collie gave delighted little jump.
Holding the paper between his jaws, he went
out the door and disappeared into the
darkness.
That's where the money goes," said Jed
WMpple. "Do you believe me now1"
Where does he take it tor"
Down the road piece To my brother
in-law's."
The young mans eyes grew hard as steel.
Evening star., 1936-01-05

He picked length of ignition wire from a
hook on the wall
Put your hands out, grandpa, he growled.
I'm going to tie you up and 60 get that
money"
mo" warned Jed softly. II wouldn't do
that. My brother-in-laws the sheriff around
these parts. You might get hurt"
At the sound of the word sheriff." the
young man whirled around toward the door,
gun ready.
That's all right, son." said Jed. tom

and snatched out the dollar bill. Then he
turned on Jed with black scowl
You're kidding me, grandpa. The moneys
right here somewhere"
Look around, son. You won't find noth hing"
Clumsily the young man searched the little
room, pulling out drawers, overturning oil
cans, rummaging among the tires and spare
parts. While he was still busy, the collie
frolicked back through the door and put his
soft muzzle into the old man hand. Together
they watched the search. Jed was smiling
family, and it looked as if the dog were
smiling too.
At last, with muttered curse, the young
man put his gun in his pocket and started
back to the car. Jed followed close behind.
mo hard feelings, son." he said. I'VE all
got our trades"
The young man didn't answer. He rounded
the front ofthe Car. Then he stopped suddenly.
"PM em nbP" commanded deep voice.
In the shadow of the Car was standing a
stocky, powerful man. He wore knee boots,
and silver badge shone bright on his breast.
Hejabbed an old fashioned six-shooter intothe
young mans ribs. Therobber raised his hands,
Get his gun, Jed. said the sheriff.
Jed Whipple trotted around the car and
took the automatic from the young mans
pocket The sheriff passed him a pair of
handouts. He reached up and snapped them
neatly over the young mans wrists. The
sheriff lowered his gun and laughed deep in
his throat.
Pretty good, Jed" he chuckled. That's
four you got this summer"
Jed Whipple smiled and stroked the collies
silken head. "Yep. We get them all - me an
my dog. Gimme that paper, Tom"
The sheriff handed over the slip of plain
white paper which the collie had carried in
his mouth.
Jed looked at the young man reTetfully.
"You need long vacation, son." he said.
"Youain smart enoughfor thestick- ptrade."
He unrolled the paper and showed it to him.
Then he turned it over and showed him the
other side.
See! Nothing on it. Nothing at all. That
means for Tom to come right over"

" A factory owner said it
was because of Free pickup
and-delivery of less than car
load freight. The railroad calls
for the Lei freight at ship
per's door and delivers it to
consignee's door.
A travelling salesman said 1t
was because so many passen-
|. ger and freight trains now run
on faster schedules.
There was a school prin-
cipal in the group and he
said it was because train
travel is so much cheaper
for passengers. He said
passenger fares are at the
! lowest point in history,

One man, farmer, Salu he
liked something he could de-
pend on, that's why he was

cause it is by far the safest. He

Safety on the Road

A conference was recently held in Washington by
the Red Cross society and other organizations concerned
about the terrible loss of life upon our highways.
One of the speakers was Secretary of Commerce
Daniel c. Roper, who asked some very interesting
questions in the course of his discussion, as follows:
Among other things the interested public desires
to know, as reflected in my correspondence, are these:
Why is it necessary to manufacture cars having
speeds of from so to 100 miles an hour?
What steps are being taken by dealers to insure
the public against the selling of high-speed cars to
reckless, disabled or incompetent drivers?
Have certain manufacturers, especially in the light
car field, effected economies, particularly in bumpers, so
as to make cars less safe?
Why, with all the engineering skill that the indus
try possesses, has no greater progress been made in
taking the dangerous glare out of head lights?
What definite steps does the industry plan to take
to help eliminate old and unsafe cars from the road?
What is it going to do on its own initiative-and
not through outside groups-to bring about uniform
traffic legislation and law enforcement"
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1936-01-16
Cooperation versus Socialism

Some critics of farm cooperatives have denounced
them is being socialistic. This criticism, though sin
cerely made, is the result of misunderstanding of what
real cooperatives do and how they are formed.
Socialism, roughly defined, involves governmental
ownership of productive resources. Thus, a socialistic
cooperative would b. one founded and financed by pub
lie money, operated by government agents., with the
government treasury standing behind it to pay any
losses and to guarantee its members a return no matter
how incompetent they were, and no matter what condi-
tons were.
The real farm cooperatives, by contrast with this,
are excellent examples of private initiative and enter
prise. A group of farmers will get together, figuring that
they can buy more cheaply in larger quantities, or that
they can sell to better advantage through a strong CEN
trail organization. They put up their own money, and
take their own risks. If there are profits, they divide
them. If there are losses they absorb them.
This kind of cooperation is not socialism it is
sound business, based on sound economics. Cooperating
farmers are individualists, who use the benefits that ac-
crue from mass action to better their individual lots.
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1936-01-16

If you would know what Americans really are
thinking about, get off the highways and amble leisurely
along the byways. Seek out the towns and villages; for
get the cities and their suburbs. If your time is limited
buy a copy of the paper published in each of the towns
through which you travel. Carry them home with you
and read them. 1t is a simple way to remove the veneer
of sophistication with which the city has coated you, and
to bring you back to earth again.
There is no better sounding board of public opinion
than the editorial page of the country weekly. All too
often the perspective of the editor of a metropolitan
size of his huge city. He can't see the woods for the
trees. On the other hand, the country editor follows a
homely pattern of life, and his thinking, reflected on the
editorial page, has its roots in sincerity, simplicity, and
and unsupported wisdom that his fellow editor has sac
rifced on the altar of urbanity.
Don't laugh if you read in the news pages the un-
adorned story that Farmers Jones has lost his COW. What
when they chance to see a city edition that discloses the
extent to which you have lost your self-respect in a
story describing your boondoggling activities? While
you read about manners and morals, he reads about men
and women-looms that spin your cloth. The comma
and semi-colons may not be there, but for that very
reason the meaning is less obscure.
When you have finished reading the country papers
ing Farmer Jones finds his cow, that Mrs. Browns newly
arrived son-her fourth child-lives a long and healthy
life, that Ezra Smith, grocer, finds the rascal who rif1ed
his cash drawer. And you may find yourself a little clos
er to earth.

Ready to Move

While European conditions are unsettled as a result
of ltalys attack on Ethiopia and the subsequent efforts
by members of the League of Nations to apply sane
tons, Japan is preparing to take advantage of the sit
uation and further extend its control over Chinese ter
ritory.
Japan has already withdrawn from the League of Ma
tons, although it was a member when it seized Man
churia. At that time the League was helpless to prevent
1t because no power strong enough to challenge Japan
felt that its interests in the Orient justified war. Further
japanese aggression would encounter no more opposi-
ton from Europe or America and the Japanese know
this. If China receives any protection from japanese
aggression it will have to come from the Chinese them
selves.
