Her Grievance
By MARION E. JONES
@ Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.

RUDENCE sank into a chair,
l placed her feet determinedly to-
gether, and brought a very serious
face to rest in the cupped hollow of
her hands. The long window di-
rectly beside her was open to adj
NIT the soft summer air, and
through it the steady hum of a mo-
tor reached her ears, gradually get
ting fainter as it speeded into the
distance.
For few moments she kept her
position, wrinkling her forehead in
nervous thought and eyes winking
bravely to keep back rebel tears.
Then, jumping quickly up, she be-
gan to pace the room, favorite
habit with her when troubled.
Crying stormily, she flung herself
on a nearby couch, making q wrin-
killed. ruin of the peach-colored or
CANDY gown that she had carefully
laid there before donning it, in
happy anticipation Of the hours its
loweliness would spend beside Sef-
ton that long summer afternoon.
Lyle had begged in her most
charming manner to be allowed to
monopolize Seton for just one more
afternoon, positively the last time,
for her business in Winthrop would
be completed that day and Pru
dence, trying to keep suspicion oui
Of her voice and manner, had con
scented.
Lyle's own particular admirer
who had planned on an afternoon
with her, also had been very much
disappointed when he came ovel
and found her already gone. He hat
tried to get Prudence to console
him, but she was In no fit mood, 81
he had departed, sadly musing OF
the flckleness Of girls and wonder
ing, for his own part, what secre'
business could engage Sefton's cal
so much, when his own would have
done quite as well.
After a while Prudence's storm o!
tears had spent itself, and as she
lay on the couch quietly, memories
Of all the fine, high-souled part o.
Lyle's nature kept drifting into hel
mind. The day Prudence's mother
had died, Lyle had been the chic
source Of comfort to the grief
stricken girl, doing ell the packing
that Prudence's tremulous hands re
fused to do properly, making ar
rangements for the trip home anG
finally getting permission to leave
college with her, staying with hel
through all the long, dark days Of
grief.
Then, again, when Prudence's ia.
Their had been on the verge of failure
in his modest business, Lyle, coming
Of very wealthy family, had in
terested her own father to the point
of extending a loan that had safely
tided over the critical period. In
college, Prudence had subjects that
came especially hard to her, and
Lyle had taken many minutes Of
time from her own studies to &c
over them with her and point out
ways wherein they could be more
easily understood. AS Prudence
marshaled all these memories and
reviewed them, it began to seem
rather hard to believe that a girl
so supremely true unselfish friend
could deliberately mean to steal the
man to whom she was engaged.
She rose from the couch, ruefully
surveyed the organdy, and then,
hanging it away in the closet, took
out a filny gray chiffon gown that

THE POLICE COURT hullaballoo

THE POLICE COURT hullaballoo
arises from test case in Prince
Georges County. Does that decision
affect Montgomery? Well, it will pre-
sumably take a test case here to find
out. Judge Harold Smith, differ with
him as you may on number of So
called burning political questions in
other days and at other times, has
conducted his court as a credit to the
new system. 1t would be shame to
break it up pending an amendment to
the State Constitution.

Cne OCaCe CONSTITUTION.
THEY CALL the ball and plunger
legal because it involves an element
of skill" Webster says "a plunger is
one who bets heavily and thoughtless-
Ily." But so much for the play on
words. Legally, certain types of gam
bling machines are permissible. Why
was there not someone or some COM
mission named to check up on this
situation heretofore? Is this only
brought to the attention of the auth
critics when some sorehead COM
plains?
THIS DEGREE OF SKILL they
talk about brings a laugh to the in
itiated. If this was the, case no one
would play anything but the so-called
degree of skill" devices. Whether it
is "plunger and ball" or a "lever,"
the same element of chance prevails
and BELIEVE 1T OR NOT you won't
win any you won't blame it on your
lack Of skill. If you don't see the logic
of this Observation-Disclosures yourself
and try the same machines. The law
may be wrong. The Interpretation Of
the law may be wrongly construed
we contend that any machine or adj
vice encountered in this county and
which demands the insertion of a FIVE
cent piece with various odds offered
to the successful manipulation Of the
machine-can be just as well termed
gambling contrivance" as any 9TH
err product Of human ingenuity which
escapes the immediate attention Of
the law.

Borrowers will have the advantage of
County Farm Security Supervisors in
building their houses and in making
plans to do better farming, Mr.. Swift
said.
Land purchase loans may be equal
to the full value of the farms and Dor
rowers have up to 40 years in which
to repay. The interest rate is per
cent per annum.
Mr.. Swift stated that the tenant land
purchase program is being administ-
cred in connection with the rehabili-
tation and farm debt adjustment pro-
gram of the Farm Security Admins
tration. He further stated that al
though land purchase loans are limit
ed, regular rehabilitation loans for
such items as seed, fertilizer, livestock
and farm tools are available in every
county to eligible farmers and farm
tenants unable to secure suitable cred
1T elsewhere. Rehabilitation loans do
not include money for purchase of
land, he said
In addition to assistance rendered
borrowers by County and Home Sup
ervisors, County Agents, Extension
Specialists and the College of Agri-
culture are cooperating in providing
technical farming advice, Mr.. Swift
said.

Government To Assist Them
In Becoming Owners of
Their Property

Raleigh, Dec. 24-Seventeen North
Carolina counties have been desig-
mated in which loans will be made be-
fore next June 80 to help farm ten
ants become owners, as authorized by
the Bankhead-Jones farm tenant act.
The information was given out here
today by Vance E. Swift, State Direc-
tor of the Farm Security Administra-
ton, u S. Administration, U. S. Dept.
Of Agriculture, who said he had just
received the official announcement
from Regional Director George S. Nit
chell.
The state farm tenant committee
recommended the counties selected.
The counties designated for this state
are Caswell, Chatham, Cleveland,
Edgecombe, Franklin, Guilford, Hen
derson, Hartford, Iredell, Madison,
Onslow, Orange, Richmond, Robson,
Union, Washington and Wilkes.
Tenant purchase loans are being
made during the first year to only a
limited number of counties in each
state, Mr.. Swift said, in order that the
$1O,000,O00 appropriated for the first
year may be fairly apportioned among
the several states and in order that
the administrative costs may be held
to the minimum set by Congress. The
distribution of funds by states has
been made in accordance with farm
population and the percentage of ten
ancy.
Not more than 10 nor fewer than
five tenant purchase loans will be
made this year in any one county Sc
lected. Applications for these loans
will be filed with County Supervisors.
County Committees, consisting of
three reputable farmers, will examine
applications, appraise farm applicants
purpose to purchase and recommend
applicants who have the character
ability and experience deemed neces-
sary for successful farm ownership.
The money will be lent to aid tenant
families to purchase and approve fam
ily-sized farms and to become more
secure in their farming operations by
the use of better farming practices.

percent from October through next

expected. Most of this will occur after

Question: How much tobacco seed
should be used in seeding the plant
bed?
Answer: One ounce of seed will be
sufficient for 300 square yards Of bed,
but a more convenient measure is t.
use one tablespoonful of recleaned
seed to each 100 square yards. The
seed should be mixed with cottonseed
meal, dry sand, ashes, or fertilizer be-
fore sowing, and a more uniform
stand will be secured if half the seed
is sown in one direction and the re-
manning seed sown across the bed at
right angles to the first seeding. The
bed is then packed by running a light
roller over it, tamping it with the feet
or with a board attached to the end
of short pole. For stiff, heavy soils
the bed should not be tamped, but
the seed should be whipped in lightly
with a brush broom.
Question: Can beef be preserved on
the farm in the same manner as pork
Answer: Yes. Any part of the beef
carcas can be corned, but as a usual
thing the rounds or headquarters are
dried. Cut the meat into five or six
pound chunks and rub with salt. Then
pack in a clean vessel or hard wood
or stoneware and cover with the
pickle containing one and one-half
pounds of salt, one ounce of salt peter,
one-quarter-pound of sugar or syrup,
and one gallon of pure water. Let the
meat remain in the pickle for about
two weeks and then smoke lightly to
improve the flavor, hang in a cool
place and use as needed.

A POKER LESSON

Like most other celebrities, the great
pianist Paderewski has been the subject of
a good many humorous stories. One con-
Germs the virtuoso's introduction to the
great American game of draw poker.
On the pianist's first visit to America,
Charley Schwartz, gay spender of Chi
cago's sporting circles, engaged the talent
ed Pole for private musicale, for which
he paid the artist $500 Schwartz's friends
thought he had gone crazy to pay such a
price for an evenings entertainment, but
Schwartz merely smiled. He had heard
that Paderewski wanted to learn poker
After the musicale the host invited a
few friends. including the pianist, to sit in
sociable game. AT a. IN. the game
broke up with Paderewsld's $500 back in
the pocket of his friend Schwartz. The
concert had cost the host nothing, but
Paderewski had gained some experience.
The noted musician and statesman,
now in his nth year. is living quietly in
Switzerland, but still likes a little game of
chance occasionally.
He visits Monte Carlo once in while
to try his luck, but doesn't play for high
stakes. His greatest splurge in the line of
gaming was probably at Charley
Schwartz's poker party.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Pressure is relatively low this
morning over New England,
southern Florida, and far south
western districts; while high
pressure areas, crested over Ten
nessee and far western Canada,
overspread the remainder of the
country.
Light to moderate rains have
occurred during the last "a hours
in portions of the upper Missis-
sippi Valley and Lake region, on
the middle and north Atlantic
coast, and in western Texas and
southern New Mexico. There have
also been showers in central and
southwestern Florida, being heavy
at Titusvi,le, 1.34 inches.
Temperatures have fallen on
the East Gulf coast, and are be-
low normal in eastern districts,
except in central and southern
Florida: while changes have been
generally unimportant over other
sections, with readings near the
seasonal average in most locali-
ties.

COLUMBUS DAY

Columbus Day, October II, now OBJ
served in most states, this year marks the
445th anniversary of the discovery of AM
erica by Christopher Columbus, which
opened new world to settlement and ex-
ploitation.
The story of Columbus is one of the
most romantic, as well as one of the most
tragic, in all history. Born in Genoa about
the year l436, the date being uncertain,
he was the son of wool-comber. He re-
ceived some instruction in science and
navigation at the University of Pavia, and
went to sea at the age of IA.
During the next few years he visited
most of the ports of the then known world.
About 1470 he began to mediate on the
possibility of reaching Asia by sailing
westward, having become convinced of the
spherical shape of the earth. Desiring to
lead an expedition of exploration he APP
pealed in vain to the rulers of Genoa, Por-
tugal and England, and finally to Ferdi-
nand and Isabella OF Spain.
After many neartbreaking rebuffs
and delays Queen Isabella at last was in
strumental in financing the voyage, with
three small ships-the Santa Maria, so
men; Pinta, 80 men, and Nina, "a men
which sailed from Palos on August 3, 1892
During the voyage fears of the sailors
nearly caused mutiny at times, but Column
bus kept them in hand and on October II,
1892, was rewarded by the sight of land,
which proved to be an island, probably one
of the Bahama group.
Attempts at colonization and other
voyages followed, but dissatisfaction with
the rule of Columbus resulted in his being
sent back to Spain in chains Although he
was permitted to make his fourth and last
voyage after that, he was never restored
to his rights, and he died broken and for
saken man, on May 20, 1906, at Valla-
dolid, Spain
Columbus Day was first observed in
Colorado, but largely through the efforts
of the Knights of Columbus its observance
has become widespread throughout the
United States.
