We imagine that the Redskins

air castles that the Indians had
worked so hard to establish in their
imagination.
Thus, McConnelsville's undefeated
veterans of the cage, whose word is
dominion and whose name is legion,
dramatically ended their league sea
SON in characteristic fashion by an
nihilating Caldwell SPIT on the lat

The victory came as surprise to
no one except the Caldwell follow
-Rrs, who evidently had not read the
newspapers enough to know that
they should have hibernated in their
storm cellars when the Twin City
Tornadoes hit town Both teams
had impressive records to back up,
but the Big Reds had something to
back theirs up with although they
had already clinched the Muskingum
Valley Championship. The Mt Airy
defenders had not come so far on
their path to fame just to fall prey
to their last rival For the first time
in the history of the Big Five, Big
Six, or Muskingum Valley Leagues,
a squad has completed an untarnish-

Tide rolls on in the same way dur

The first quarters score was pos

as if her scoring machine was geared

lead to 221 at the half way mark

and cricket chirped in the dis
tance.
She flashed her spotlight over the
side of the road. Here was the gate.
Now
The plan was so easy to carry
out that she was nearly down the
stairs, letters in her hand, when a
mans voice stopped her.
"Ah, so you're more deeply in
volved than I thought, my pretty
maiden"
She didn't answer. She waited,
while the crickets became louder
and louder, and the wind stirred
leaves that grew on tall trees too
near the window. But the new
peace was with her. Life might not
be easy. It might take much, but
somewhere, somehow, it would
cease it's demands, and the harsh
ness Of these last days would fade
away.
A lamp was lighted by the man
who shared her retreat. Even be-
fore she saw his face, for he was
STOPPING, Sarah Anne saw that the
curtains were drawn at the VIM
doWs.
The man looked up. "Why, Bing
Wells, what are you doing here?"
she asked in amaZement.
He laughed easily. 'That's the
question I was about to ask you,
but I see what you have in your
hand. I mean, you have papers.
Better let me decide if they're yours
by law"
He started toward her and she
saw that his usual fiacid manner
had vanished. He was hard tonight,
and he looked like someone. Some-
one she could not have men,
toned that name. But at the mo-
ment she had no control over her
tongue or her movements. So she
said: "Why didn't I guess that you
and Lynn Rhodes are brothers?"
Bing took a step toward her.
Because we aren't! I'm here for
the same purpose you are-hunting
for something! faybe the thing
you have there. Better let me see,
Sarah Anne"
He reached her and held out a
hand for the papers. She could not
struggle with him, but she might
beat him. If she took the lamp and
set fire to the missives -.
But he was too strong. He be-
gan to bend her wrist, painfully,
torturingly, but she did not cry
out.
She was clenching her fingers
into a fist, welcoming the tearing
of the paper, when she became
aware of another presence in that
room.

If constipation still persists, the
best laxative to use is milk of mag
nesia.
Diaryhe0 should always be re-
garded with seriousness. If not in
fectious Gin which case it is accom-
panied by fever, and you have a
very sick baby on your hands), it
may be due to the composition of
the formula. The sugar in the milk
should be blamed first. In hot
weather an infant may not be able
to tolerate as much sugar as in cold
weather. For the treatment of
diarrhea, the doctor should always
be consulted. The mother may
safely give a tepid soapsuds enema
to wash out offending materials, and
feelings should be stopped for one
or two feelings. Plenty of boiled
water should be given by mouth.
Gas and collie. Gas occurs in both
breast and bottle-fed infants, end
is usually due to air swallowed dur
ing feeding. The best treatment is
to hold the baby well up on your left
shoulder and pat it gently on the
back until the swallowed air comes
up. This is also the best treatment
for regurgitation. Sometimes there
is enough fermentation in the in
testines to cause an attack of collie.
The babies scream with pain and
become red in face and body. A
tepid enema of soap and water-six
to eight ounces-usually results in
the passage of the gas with conse-
quent relief.

made at any moment.

Now Sarah Anne went down the
road that spanned the river. Far to
the east she could see the smoke
stacks of the mills, silhouetted
against the. hills, and now and then
there was fan of red flame among
the CRIME which the chimnies
belched into the night.
Even now she smiled because it
was incongruous for Sarah Anne
Melton, who didn't do such things,
to make this journey. She reflected
to the low birds skirting the water
that she never before had had
chance to do such things, and she
hoped adventure never would come
in this guise again.
Two things she hoped-that no
one would be at the lodge and that
Corrinne had been right about the
directions.
But she was not afraid.
All summer long she had been
disturbed, and now suddenly there
had been a great crash of thunder,
the storm had come, and she had
no fear as she rode it's pillows. Long
ago, as little girl who believed
that God was a nice old man with
whiskers who sat on golden chair
in the sky, she had learned about
the pillars. There was one of clouds
which led the Children of Israel by,
day, and another one, slender,
bright, triumphant which was a
beacon for their nights.
1t was that one which went with
her. It would lead her to that al
cove again, and this time she would
come down the stairway and drive
home calmly.
Once she heard motor behind
her, but when she turned around
the road was empty. She thought
of the police, but they did not
frighten her tonight. She wondered
why she was not fearful of some
henchmen of Lynn's who might
pick up her trail. Then she re-
herself that it was because
the men would stay far away from
that huge log cabin.
On, on, on. She was almost to the
road which swung through the

half. All that is necessary is to re-
store the moisture by adding an
equal amount Of boiled water to the
evaporated milk. Some forms of
dried milk are equally good and are
more easily digested than whole
milk.
On Any Mixture
Most infants will thrive on nearly
any mixture, provided some sensible
plan is followed in it's preparation.
Some infants, however, do not seem
constitutionally able to thrive, no
matter what mixture is tried. These
are the real problems of the pedia-
trician, and certainly he should be
called in to handle them.
Some others have forms of indi-
gestion that can fairly easily be ad-
justed by simple rearrangements.
Form, of sugar to be added to the
malk. In a previous article I rec
commended the use of cane sugar add
ed to cows milk. Some sugar has to
be added to it to bring it up to the
content of mothers milk, which con-
tains nearly twice as much sugar as
cows milk. This added sugar may
aggravate a tendency to moderate
diarrhea. Cane sugar is most read
lily available; that is why I recon-
mend it, but the sugar that is most
easily digested is dextrose or mall
tose. Most of the infant foods are
acceptable because of the presence
of dextrose or maltose. Of all the
sugars, lactose is highest in laxa-
tive properties.

Farmers Promise
Drive for Fair
Scale Of Wages

Associated Farmers of Imperial
county will use their influence to
maintain a standard wage scale for
those who handle agricultural
products in this area, c. G.. Ben
nett, association president said
Monday.
Association members believe in
fair play and do not condone
chiseling," Bennett declared. 1--WE
believe that all shippers, packers,
and growers should follow the wage
scale they themselves agreed upon.
1t is decidedly unfair to the en-
ployes if one or two employers ar
bitrarily decide to cut under the
prevailing scale"
IF the industry as whole
agrees that price and economy de-
mand a change, we believe that is
the concern of the industry. We
are not interested in setting wage
scales. But as long as the rank and
file agree that they can pay a cer-
tain wage, it seems to me they all
can afford to pay it."
The association, Bennett said, is
interested in fair play, peace, and
order and takes this stand on the
wage scale problem to help with its
program for continued peace in the
agricultural industry, and for the
good of all concerned.
