AMERICAN BOAR
IS THRILLING AND
DANGEROUS GAME

There is no other animal in the
United States that will accommodate
you as quickly with fight as a wild
boar.
The boars found on Santa Cruz is
land off the California coast attain
a weight of $50 pounds, mostly mus
Gle. They have tusks,. one on either
side of the lower jaw, which articu-
late in an upward and outward curve
on two shorter. but heavier CANNES
of the upper jaw. This sharpens
them to knifelike edges.
Large boars will charge man as
soon as he appears within reasonable
distance. At this stage of the game
the animal becomes totally indiffer-
ent to the barking dog, lowers his
head, and begins champing his jaws
until he actually froths at the mouth.
Then he takes a few uncertain steps
forward and with coughing, cultural
grunts rushes with surprising speed
at the man foe.
/ have never allowed one to adj
vance beyond the uncertain steps. y
The champing jaws, and the click OF
those white daggers is thrill enough
in fact, a bullet to the right place
at the first possible moment is the
natural impulse, and the sane action
for the safety of both man and dog
especially the dog.-H. 81. Sheldon

CHAPTER IV-Continued

Damn Mers cigarsp' said West be-
meath his breath, tossing his smoke
away and making wry face. "Rope!"
He gazed over his shoulder toward the
storekeeper, occupied behind his coun-
ter, as if he would speak. Then he
looked back. Count me out hand"
he said. "I'll run over to the house
and get a real smoke"
He rose and went intently out and
Young wondered. Did West so much
dislike confronting him even across a
poker table after what had happened
that afternoon that he had fed? Or
was it something else which moved
him to leave?
The game went on, fOur-handed, and
under relieved tension. Vests place
was vacant through one round and
part of another.
On his return to the table, the good
natured atmosphere which had pre-
vailed for those last few hands dis
appeared. Again, it was a gambling
contest, although Tod's talk was, out
wardly. all that II had been before he
knew that Kerry Young was in the
room. Still, that feeling of ap-
prehension, of something afoot, grew
stronger in Young's heart.
1t was Vests deal. He riffled the
cards twice adeptly and cut them for a
third time. His fingers bent them,
sent them fluttering against one an
other, and then two or three of the
pack leaped from his clasp, slid across
the table and spilled into his lap.
Need a basketr' he growled and,
showing back his chair, STOPPING over,
CROPPED for cards on the floor.
He found them, all right! He found
and gathered them in the hand which
held the deck. But his other hand
slid a second deck from beneath his
belt and when he came up the one
pack was thrust into the little stein
shelf beneath the table top while it
was the new one he thrust toward Jim
Hinkle for the cut. :.
Kerry Young did not know this. But
his heart raped smartly with suspi-
cion.
Cut 'em, James," the man said.
"And cut 'em deep because I've got
another feeling about this hand!"
He looked about and grinned, more
affable than he had been since Kerry
entered the game. Hinkle cut; West
beamed and slipped" the cut!
Young saw that clearly. Back to
the top of the deck went the section
that Hinkle had cut away and West
was dealing. talking, chuckling over
some joke he had made but to which
Kerry gave no heed. To find Tod West
playing the role of ruthless aggreSsor

Packers Seek Recovery
of All Processing Tax

Oh AL 1lO(CSSlIkS i GAGS
A BATTLE to recover all the proc
"A essing taxes paid to the govern
ment under the invalidated AAA was
undertaken by the "big four" of the
packing industry-Swift and Company,
Armour and Company, Wilson and
Company and the Cudahy Packing
company.
Having won back $45,OOO,00O when
the AAA was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme court the packing in
dustry has decided to attempt to re-
cover from the government more than
$200,000,000 paid before injunctions
against the tax were granted and sub
sequent payments impounded.
The meat packing industry as
whole paid a total Of $271 100000 in
processing taxes from the inception of
the AAA. The packers are basing their
claims for recovery on the ground that
as the Supreme court ruled the proc
essing taxes invalid, payments made in
accordance with that law were ille-
gally collected and should be returned.
1t was reported that smaller packing
companies were considering action to
recover their tax payments, but have
waited until the major units in the
industry instituted their proceedings.
The total in tax recoveries sought by
the four big Chicago companies is ap-
proximately $100,000.000.

74th Congress Adjourns
After a Long Session

THE SeventyfOurth congress ad-
l. journed after a session lasting five
and a half months during which 1t ap-
propriated nearly $10,000,000,000 and
was faced by some unexpected legis-
lative complications.
In the closing hours the emergency
tax bill which is expected to produce
$S00,000000 in revenue was passed.
Supreme court invalidation of the AAA
and Guffey coal bills and the passage
of the cash soldiers bonus over the
Presidents veto upset the budget plans
and made such a bill necessary.
Although it was passed by the house.
the amended Guffey coal bill designed
to remove the objections Of the Su-
preme court failed of passage in the
senate. Similarly, the Wagner slum
housing bill, which had passed the SEN
ate, failed in the house.
Larger than normal appropriations
for governmental activities were
passed. The bonus, farm payments, re-
lief and the greatest national defense
program in peace time history helped
swell the total.
Funds for continuing the present re-
lief program were voted; the public
works revolving fund was amended to
permit more heavy construction prof.
'ects. But congress failed to approve
the Florida ship canal and Passama-
'quoddy tide dam.
Invalidation of the AAA brought a
revised and expanded soil conservation
and domestic allotment act; the rural
electrifcation administration and cleo
trio farm and home authority were
both placed on a permanent basis; the
Commodity Credit corporation was ex-
panded; two flood control bills were
passed. Labor received attention
through the Walsh-Healy bill dealing
with working conditions on govern
ment contracts. A compromise ship

closing hours. Financial legislation in
