heat and distance ahead, she knew in
her despairing heart it was his last
great race. No rest, no water. no time
to ease his aching lungs!
To the man in the saddle he was
nothing but a means to the end Of his
own escape. The great heart, the gal
liant spirit, the vast and willing speed.
these were but short-lived hostages
flung with a careless hand to his own
evil fortune. Bert would ride him as
long as the wild speed held, as long as
the iron legs could move, az long as the
deep heart beat.
When these were finished and Black
Wind fell, heaving heap of sweated
flesh, of open mouth and staring. suf-
fering eyes, would he stop moment
in his flight to give him peace with
merciful shot? Not Bert!
He would slide among the trackless
canyons where no car could follow,
saving his shots for what might come
after. Bert, with the cattle money in
his belt, the Old Man honor done for.
Dad, with his sick heart broken. No
payment for the bank. The Bar L
slipping from his aging hands.
She came to a great decision quickly.
Suddenly she flung her body up and
backward that her lungs might fill to
the utmost with the cool desert air.
She put two fingers to her lips to give
them volume and out on the clear
stiffness pealed a wild, high whistle.
Keen. far-reaching, piercing as bugle
call, it rang across the sage. Far out
on the sandy levels it struck on the
ears of the running horse - caught
him like rope around his neck.
In the midst of his monstrous stride,
at full stretch, he stiffened and slid ten
feet along the earth. The man on his
back rose in a long arc, spread-eagled.
grotesquely. and sailed out over his
head.
When jim Balmer and the men.
reused by that wild call, came tum-
bling from the bunkhouse, they saw
Millie Sands waiting. white-faced,
while Black Wind the stallion came
running back to her. his empty STIR
rups flying.
Among the distant cactus Bert rose
and shook impotent fists toward the
pale skies, while from the north there
came the cough and labor of a car in
sand - the sheriff and his posse
from the town.

1900 many people think that good
snapshots cannot be taken in
. the winter. They place their
cameras on the CLOSET shelf and
there they hibernate until spring
arrives. The truth is that picture TAX

the summer. opportunities are as

beautiful.

and his heart was light because of the
, thick new wallet securely pinned in the
inside pocket of his calf-skin vest. He
meant the wallet as present for the
Old Man. 1t was a fit receptacle for
the wealth it held, the fiat pack of
bills in high denominations which he
had got for Boss Bills steers.
So Jim logged on the silver mare
and hummed the Lone Prai-ree" off
key. and patted his other pocket which
held gift for Mile. A doggoned
pretty locket with a red stone in its
top. 1t would look swell on her sweet
brown neck. ..---....
They reached home late at night
but Millie was up and had hot meal
"steaming, and the boss laughed de-
lightedly.
You're my best boy. Jim" he said
firmly. best boy ever had, bar none.
You all get little bonus out of this.
Guess the bank don't need it ALL
Jim did not give Millie her present
then. He'd keep it for a special time.
"a ride together. maybe, over Star
Canyon way - and then he'd ask her
something. Something he'd wanted to
ask her for a long time.
He went to sleep in his own bed in
the bunk house thinking of that ride.
Millie, too. slept at last. thinking of
the joy on Boss Bills face over the
money and the good price Jim had got.
Boss Bill slept heavily. his mouth open
for the air he seemed to need SO badly
, of late.
What wakened her the girl could
not tell. A sound maybe, a feel of
something untoward. She slipped out
of bed. put on her dress and went,
barefoot. into the big room beyond.
At her fathers desk the white spot
of fiashlight played over the pigeon
holes. She heard a drawer softly open.
The money for the bank! The price
of all the fat steers!
A cold hand seemed to grip her
heart and just then a horse squealed

One OF the strangest controversies to- nation has witness.
One Of the strangest Oontroversarles tho natios has witness
ed over electric rates has been taking place regardisg power
to be generated at the government-Owned Bonneville hydro
fkectrdc project near Pottlasd, Oregon.
If q privas company had built the dam, the state public.
service commission would have seen that rates charged were
the lowest possible commensurate with cost of production.
In the present instance, a fight is being waged by public
officials Of n~eighboring states to have the Bosneville power
sold at a rate set arbitrarily higher than is necessary, in or
der thatpower from Bonneville may not undersell power from
other government or municipal projects. ~~
Here is a perfect illustration of what to expect in con-
nection with aforementioned business, which is dominated
largely by political groups.
In the case of a private power company, a power user can
take any controversy with the company 10 the state public
service commission and get a hearing. Let him try to take a
grievance or suggestion regarding a public-owned plant, to a
state commissioned he will find that It has no authority over
Federal activities. Then if he wants fun let him present his
case to the proper bureau in Washington-he will begin to re-
alize what lawyers fees, hotel bills and railroad fare amount
TO in such a hearing. State regulation viii probably look pref
ty good to him after that.

Foil u. of Maryland
Plan to Gust Students

Baltimore, Aug. II (ANP)-Tn
reply to a query from DR.. H. c..
Byrd, president Of the University
of Maryland law school, Attorney
General O'Conor ruled Monday
that the two colored students who
had applied for admission to the
school could not be ousted. The at
torney general explained that two
years ago the State Legislature
adopted a scholarship program to
provide for the higher education
of Maryland eolored students OUT
side the state and repealed Il In
1887 with new provisions.
The new section, ne saSd, pro-
vides Scholarships for Negroes
who cannot obtain the desired
courses in existing Negro institu-
tions IN this state.s The two col
ored students applied for admis-
sion TO he law school before the ef-
fective date Of the new statute, and
were admitted by court decisions.
The attorney generals eonclu-
sion: The question, therefore, is
whether the new scholarship sta
titue confers authority upon the uni
versity to GUST students whether
it shall be applied only to new APP
plicants. In our judgment, this
statute may be given no retroactive
effect"

itathg as it were; it is with
pleasure that l relinquish my

that proves that the southern
gentleman is a true American.
One who believes in giving JUS
tice according to the American
standard.
MIR. Carter has taken as the
subject for his masterpiece ed
itorial" Jesse Owens Picture"
"Ry indirct channels the report
has come to US that this newspa-
per has recently received unfavor-
able comment because ID, it print
ed Negro Splinter Jesse Owens
picture: ~, it carried a feature
story of Nelson street, which is
G~reenville's Beale street, and 90,
it has on occasion given promi-
hence to stories in which Negroes
appeared in a eommendable light.
Such ccriticism has been Jumped in
to the general charge of 'nigger
lovin' Vicious gossip, like any
other rank weed, f~lourishes in the
heat. Maybe ithd9e recen torrid
days are blaeable...~...Howeve
the weather affects US too, so here
goes:
Jesse Owens is a remarkable
athlete, the winner of more Olym-
pic first than any other American
This week, Mound Mayou, all
Negro village in Mississippi, which
has done a pretty good job Of run
ming itself for so years, had as it's
guest of honor, this Negro athlete.
And so VIZ printed the picture.
Wen print it again when we feel
like doing so...-..Nelson street
as we have said, is Greenville's
Beale street. 1t is a miniature and
that Memphis thoroughfare and
Harlem's Lenox avenue-.-..-Have
we white people shut our eyes to
Beale street and Harlem? We have
not..-~-.Their grooming slang is
repeated everytime S~outherners get
together for anything, from a game
which we call African dominoes to
a discussion of the cotton outlook
We admit the crime of print
ing in this newspaper, stories about
Negroes other than of their mis-
demeanors and brutalities. DIR. Car
Yer, that fine old Taskegee scien-
fist, who has done as much for
Southern agriculture as any other
man, recently was honored hV the
State of Mississippi. We printed
the story and editorialzed upon it.
Would you have US publish only
crime and police court news Of
Negroes-and omit the white of
fendert to boot?
"Get this straight, everyone of
yeu.......Here IN the Delta we
make u living, in the ultimate
analysis, from the Negro. He tills
our fields. His ready spending Of
his scant funds has built up busi-
ncsH sections, and maintained our
economic balance. All Of Us have
not always been fair to hin IN
our dealings. Is It more degrading
Ito be honest with him than to
cheat him? Is 1t more revolving 10
try to instill In him a pride in his
worthwhile actions than to hush,
hush-make him think that his
race is only fit for mockery by day
and concubinage by night?

we know is an indefensible minori-
