Thank you very much"
Come along, Sherm," Wilma in
| terposed. ''Don't bother Miss Dahl
| with your everlasting horse talk. It's
all he knows" she added sweetly. adj
dressing Thora directly for the first
time.
The two of them went out.
Thora was still standing deep in
thought when she heard steps in the
hall and glanced apprehensiveIy at
the door. She hoped It was not Mr..
Gordon. B
1t proved instead to be Marsh.
| II say, Miss Dahl. I've intended to
ask you before. Do You play
bridge?"
mo =. don't" 1t was not ex-
actly true, but TEora was keenly
alive to possible dangers.
Strange. ! was under the I'M
preston that you could do almost
anything. Thought. maybe. we
could get up Il little game tonight"
I'm sorry" Thora tried 10 make
her smile pleasantly disnissive and
Marsh accepted tho verdict without
further comment.
She was glad that she had thought
quickly enough TO avoid what must
have proved an uncomfortable eve
ming. 1t was likely that she would
have drawn her employer for
partner and. harsh and outspokcn as
he always was. he would have been
sure to criticize her none-too- slllful
play. Nor did she care to submit
herself to any further exhibition Of
Wi1n1a's studied indifference Of her
presence.
This would be a good opportunity
to enjoy the seclusion of her rooms.
Rather than brood over the present
situation, she would write q long let
ter TO her mother. She had not re-
ported her present address or told
her about the new position. She was
| less sure than ever how long 1t
might last. but her mother would
want TO know.
Wilma did not appear at breakfas4
the next morning. somewhat 70
Thora's relief. Selwyn Marsh. on
the other hand. was unusually talk
alive. He had mastered the oper-
alton Of the typewriter and was re-
sentful over the fact that he had not
purchased one before. II Miss Dahl
had q chance, she'd better look in on
him during the morning and he
would show her how we'll he was
doing. There really was very little
to tipping.

Farm Bureau and Grange
to Battle for N. c. Farmers
[Continued from Page Oneo


Taber, of the National Grange, VIII
speak before three meetings. 10 De
held here in Raleigh at the Carolina
hotel, once in the morning before
Grange officials only, at luncneon
meeting of the Farm Hands CluD mere
and again at an open meeting lot the
public in the afternoon. During the
last three wears the Grange has great
w ENLARGED its activities in North
Carolina. and is already well organic
ed i'm most Of the Piedmont counties.
II is understood that it has been plan
ming to extend its organization ac-
tivities into the eastern counties this
sprine in an effort to build UP we'll
rounded Statewide organization.
Another meeting Of eastern farm
leaders, especially those who were ac-
tive in calling the meeting in Green
Vile this week. and in getting O'Neal
to address it, has been called to meet
Monday. February II, III Greenville,
for the definite purpose OF starting an
immediate organization campaign for
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton in the eastern counties, 1t was
learned here today.
AS a result of these facts, the Soelief
is prevalent here today that a race is
already under way between tho
Grange and the Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton to organize in the State and that
the farmers i'll the east nave already
decided in favor Of the militant, open
ly political Farm Bureau Federation,
instead of the slOwer-movng, more
conservative fraternal and supposedly
non-political Grange, The Grange is
fundamentally 81 fraternal organfza-
ton for farm families with the gen
eral objective of improving farm con-
ditions and favOring everything OF
benefit to farmers. The Farm Bureau
Federation, on the other hand, has
the same detectives but uses political
methods. It get what it goes after by
threatening to "crack down" on sem
ators, congressman and State repre-
sentatives who do not vote as It
wants them to vote. And in the Mid
die West, where the Farm Bureau
Federation originated and Is highly
organized, it has been getting what it
goes after for 20 years or more.
There is tremendous political sig
nificance in the meeting in Greenville
Monday and the one to be held there
next Monday, as well as Of agricul-
tural significance, observers here be-
1ieve Many see in these meetings the
first definite step towards strong
agricultural and political union tbe-
tween the farmers of the Middle West
and the Southern farmers to bring
about national legislation more favor
able to farmers in every part of the
nation. In his speech before the $500
farmers who attended the meeting IN
Greenville Monday, President O'Neal,
of the Farm Bureau Federation, told
them that 'the reason the farmers in
the Middle West get more than you
farmers here in the South is because
they are organized and you fellows
haven't got enough sense to organize
or at least, not yet" O'Neal made
an open bid for the farmers Of the
South to join with the farmers of the

Jane serve the soup
Thora Dahl was favored at last by
hearing lively conversation at the
Marsh dinner table. And. to her
great qualification, she was not called
upon to contribute. There was no
need OF it and her silence passed I'M
noticed. Wilma took the talk into
her own hands. chatting animatedly
with Gordon, including her father at
intervals. The conversation con-
cerned occasions, people and places
that were wholly unknown TO the
young woman at the foot of the
table.
Tt afforded her ample opportunity
to regain her composure and she
performed her duties with quiet
dignity.
Gordon was the first to take cog
| nizance Of the fact that Thora was
being tacitly ignored in the CONVEX
sation and, when the dessert was
served, he turned in his chair and
addressed her directly:
"How do YOU like the summers
down in this part of the country,
Miss Dahl?"
VERY much indeed"
II imagine they are rather warmer
than you are accustomed TO. / know
that Minnesota winters are more
rigorous than ours"
Thora admitted that they were, in
wardly uncomfortable at this turn
in the talk. She tried to effect a
change by asking Mr.. Marsh if she
might ring for more coffee for him.
But Gordon was not to be diverted.
He had seen something of Mime

boat. Then to the coast by rail. The
wheat country was q great sight.

What part of the state do you
come from, Miss Dah1?"
She replied by giving him the
name Of the postofice, but offered no
further information. She was acute
~ conscious that Wilma was watch
ing her. And it was Wilma who
suggested leaving tho table at the
earliest possible moment. Gordon
turned back when he reached the
door.
II say. Miss Dahl, what is all this

usually pick me to take chances with
my neck when he has to be put
through his PAGES, You must be
something of a horsewoman if you
stayed with that boy"
"He's very nice horse" Thora
admitted. wishing that Gordon would
join Wilma who was waiting.

dining room, by getting to his feet
and remarizing brusquely:

Mr.. Gordon, Miss Dahl"
Surely" that gentleman said
heartily. He stepped forward as il
TO offer his hand, then paused sud
denly when he was aware Of a ques-
tioning gaze from his hostess dark

here now to vouch for me" He
smiled at Thora.
You're taking a good deal for
granted Wilma remarked. ''But
let's go out" She led the way to the
dining room, with Thora dropping
back 10 the rear of the little process
sion.
When the group reached the table
SeIwyn Marsh walked directly to his
chair at the head Of the board and
pulled 1t out. But Wilma stood mo-
tionless, looking directly at Thora-

Raleigh. Feb. 12.-The speech made

have been asked concerning his can
didacy for State superintendent of
pltSlic instruction against State STU
perintendent Clyde A. Erwin, is re-
garded as significant here, in that it
is the first political speech which
Alderman has made since he became
a candidate. Those unfriendly to his
candidacy especially those support
ing Superintendent Erwin for renom-

man came out as 4 candidate and who
was backing him. Some have openly
limited that he was the candidate Of
the State School Commission.
II am running for State superinten-
dent because want TO and because /

perintendent ever since / started

answering the question as to why he
is running for this post II am also
running because + think the people
should be given q chance to select the
State superintendent for a change,
since every superintendent of public
instruction in North Carolina from
1901 to the present time has held Of

having any opposition in primary.
So one reason l am running is so the
people may actually nominate a State
superintendent and not merely give a

In replying to the question as to
who IL backing him in his race Alder

"The only man who is backing me

No one has urged me to run and the

RULING THIS WEEK
ON GREYHOUND LINE
Petition To Operate Service Between
Raleigh and Greensboro at
Stake in Decision.

in 'Thc Sir Walter Hotel.
Nv J. G. U&Sk ElRXILLl

Raleigh, Feb. 12.--An order by the
State Utilities Commission passing on
and replying to the exceptions cited
by the Greyhound Bus Lines in con-
nection with the decision Of the COM
mission last summer, in which it re-
fused to grant the Greyhound Lines a
franchise between Raleigh and Greens
boro by way Of Chapel Fill, will pro-
baby be issued Friday or Saturday of
this week, Commissioner Stanley Win
borne said today. The order will reply
in detail to the exceptions cited fly the
attorneys for the Greyhound Lines
following the commission's ruling last
summer. The exceptions cited contain
virtually the same objections as were
made by the Greyhound attorneys at
the hearing before the commission.
In its final order in this case, the
Utilities Commission, with Associate
Commissioner Fred L. Seely, of Ashe-
Vile, dissenting, held that the grant
ing Of q new franchise to the Grey
hound lines would be breach of faith
with the Carolina Coach Company,
which already held the franchise from
Raleigh to Greensboro by way of Dur
Ilduh, 11IIISUOIOJ Burlington OH ISOuIc
20. It accordingly ruled that only the
Carolina Coach Company should have
the right to operate another line to
Greensboro by way of Chapel Hill.
The new order replying to the ex-
ceptions listed iby the Greyhound at
torneys is now in the hands of Asso-
ciate Commissioner Frank w Hanft
Of Chapel Hill for his approval. It has
already been approved by Associate
Commissioner Seely. The order will
be made public as soon as it has been
approved by Associate Commissioner
