what do you want?"
From those outside came a yell of
anger. 1--WE want you, and we're
gonna have YOU"
Heavy bodies crashed against the
door. A panel gave way.

The editor fired a warning shot
into the air

I'm not going" Anne said.
The heavy voice of Jud Prentiss
came to those within the building
Stand aside, boys. I'll pump some
lead through this door before we
bust it open"
Silcott rushed Anne back of a
hand press and swung her around
so that his body was between her
and the door. Bullets crashed
through the wood, sending splinters
flying. As if in answer, revolver
cracked back of the building. There
was a sound Of breaking glass.
"Too late to get away now" Jelks
said in low voice.

let them know there's a lady here,
so they'll let you both out"
Anne said "No" out of a throat
dry from fear Not unless they let
you go, too."
Asks Safety For Anne.
The editor ignored that. He called
to the Mosely foreman. There's q
lady in here, Jud. Will you let her
out before you start anything
more?"
Jud roared a contemptuous ulti-
matum. Come outa there and quit
Islying, fellow. You're bucked out.
We've got you"
But it's true" the girl cried.
Il am here. Anne Eliot, the niece
OF Carl Rogers"
Somebody outside exclaimed.
"Cripes, there is a woman there!"
Rufe had an inspiration. And
four men beside Red, ali set for
the show to start as soon as Miss
Eliot is out of range"
"Yeah!" Hat T man jeered.

There was murmur of voices,
A Bass Voice Retorts.
I'VE don't believe Bob Wise is
there" Prentiss shouted after the
huddle.
I'm here all right, Jud," a low
pass retorted. Don't fool yoreself
ABOUT that. We're not lookin' for
trouble. but if you are crazy for war
you can sure have it,"
Jim helped build up the illusion.
Don't be fool, Jud. Did you think
l was so dumb as to be alone after
what happened this evening? If
you want me, come and get me.

The Hat T contingment went back
up the street, trailed into the Jumbo
and ranged themselves in front Of

he might persuade himself and his
men that he had not lost face.
The first man his eyes fell upon
was Bar Overstreet, who was sit
ting IN q poker game with his coat
of and a pile of chips in front of
him. Prentiss strobe to the table
and flung out curse at the Tincup
Greek rancher.
"You blasted fool!" he roared.
Not 10 minutes ago I told you
I'd settle with you when we met

Overstreet was a giant Of q man,
with not an ounce of fat on his
220 pounds.
He looked up at the Hat r FORE

manner Of Prentiss; he was q hard

"Yes, sir, we'll never hear the end
Of It," Yeager prophesied. He raises
an ace-full with a pair Of dauces,
and we lay our own hand down,
It's going to be tough to take, Jud."
Prentiss glowered at his drink.
There was no use going down to
the Seminal" office now. Silcott
would be gone. 1t would be some
slight satisfaction to wreck the
place completely, but Mosely would
resent that. The Seminal" did
not belong to Silcott, but to q

PICNIC POINTERS

Summertime is picnic time
time to enjoy good food in the ex-
hilarating atmosphere of soft
breezes, sparkling sunshine and
bright foliage. Whether you take
to the road or serve the outdoor
meal in your garden, each new
summer season finds picnics more
and more fun and less and less
work for the one who prepares
them. Delicious canned foods and
convenient modern picnic equip
ment are the reason for this. They
help you have greater menu variety
and more delicious foods as well.
In general, a picnic menu is
planned along the same lines as one
served in your own dining room.
You put together different tex
lures, lavors and colors that make
an attractive combination to tempt
the appetite and take are of nu-
tritional demands of the family.
However, if you're going to cook
the food after arriving at the picnic
spot, you will want to select dishes
conveniently prepared over a FIRE
place. And if it's to be carried
along all ready to eat, that's an
other thing again.

larged when $11, $1,000 of en-
Urgency funds were made avail
able for land purchase, and CCC
camps and relief labor were as
signed to wildlife projects. Dur
ing the fiscal years 1886 to 1899
the number of relief workers on
this work were as follows: 464
(1936. in North Dakota only;
2,172 (1937); 1898 1889; and
2,132 1880. In 1885, the CCC
assigned three camps to as
many areas. During the 1889
fiscal year there was an average
of 80 camps and one side camp
detailed to 80 refugees in "a
states.
Some 1900 900 acres of land
were purchased with emergency
and special funds. Most of the
areas were damned lakes or
marshes that had been re-
duced in value by one or more
adverse factors. Other lands
were added from the public do
main by Executive orders and
by transfer from other Federal
agencies. AS a result of these
activities, the entire national
refuge system grew during the
duck stamps first five years
until by June 80, 1899, there
were 13,530,16O acres set aside
for the protection and develop
ment of wildlife.
The types of refugees, the to-
tai number, and the total acre
age of each are as follows: Wa
terfowl, 1879 - 1,613,632; Wild
tory bird, SO - 951, 812; Wild
life in general, II = 4,298, 1913;
Nongame birds chiefly, 20 -
LOG, TIP; Big game, IL - $685.
1916. Totoal number of refu-
ges, 260. Total acreage, $780,
100.
Waterfowl, it was pointed out,
are protected on every refuge
where they are found, although
the refuge may have been es-
tablished for another primary
purpose.
Much of the emergency mon
ey made available for wildlife
purposes, the Bureau said, au-
thorized the purchase of sub
marginal and other areas and
supplied personnel to develop
thehse areas as wildlife habitats
but did not provide funds for
needed in develop
ment work. It was possible,
to use duck stamp
money for this exceedingly i'm
portant function. Duck stamp
returns thus made it possible
to make the most of the emer-
gency funds and of the CCC
and WPA help, it was pointed
out.
Duck stamps paid for less
than a tenth of the emergency
program, authorities state, but
they have often been likened
to the gasoline that makes the
cor run or the oars that row the
boat.

Carry-Along Picnic

For a picnic supper you carry to
the spot already prepared, nothing
could be more enjoyed by all con-
cerned than a huge pot of fragrant
Boston style oven-baked beans given
the added benefit Of tomatoes and
cheese. A grand thing about this
picnic special is that you can get it
ready in less than half an hour and
still the beans are as mealy and
mellow as any baked for hours at
home. To keep it temptingly hot
until the crucial moment when it is
served, just cover and wrap in lay
ers of newspaper when you take it
from the oven.

TO INCREASE SIZE OF
UNITED STATES NAVY

Authority has recently beer
granted the Navy department
to increase the strength of the
Nays forces to 10000 men
according to word received from
Lieutenant Commander T. D
Wilson, officer in charge of the
Salt Lake recruiting district.
This is an increase of Is, 1000,
and is to be effected as speedily
as possible. All recruiting dis
tricts will be provided with ad-
ditional recruiting personnel,
and it is expected that the quo
tas assigned to recruiting sta
lions will be higher than they
have been for some time, it was
stated.
1.-The enlisted personnel of the
Navy is not a permanent force,
by any MEANS" Commander
Wilson states. Every year ap-
proximately 10000 men must be
recruited to take the places of
those who leave the service
Most of those who enter the SER
vice are young and few of them
have learned a trade. The
thousands who leave the serv-
ice to find a place for them
selves in civil life are older men,
and few of them leave the Navy
without having acquired some
proficiency in a trade that will
increase their value in business
or industrial pursuits.
THE navy recruiting service
is of the opinion that no single
industry requires so large a var
1ety of skilled service as the
Navy does, for the highly de-
Veloped warships of the Navy
cannot be operated by men
trained for general duty or for
many kinds of duty. Such work
as operating and caring for the
great turbines, the dynamos, or
the powerful radio stations on
a modern warship does not call
1or unskilled men or for the
Observation-Disclosures. It calls for
men who are thoroughly trained
to perform the work of specific
naval trade-enginemen, cleo
tricians, radiomen.
I'm addition to the training
given men in the navy, a valu-
able service to these men and
to the country is performed In
helping each Of them to find
the line of work in which he is
best fitted to succeed. Enlisted
men In the navy do not wander
about from one kind of job

To Cook on the Spot

Penny-wise barbecued steak is a
we'll favored mixture Of ground
round steak and seasoning stepped
in rich, spicy sauce as it cooks
just the thing to prepare over an
outdoor fire and serve juicy and hot
right out of the frying pan in fat
buns. A convenient and delicious
accompaniment for this picnic spe-
cial would be canned macaroni in
cream sauce with cheese which you
just heat and serve. For crispness
in this meal, take along a jar of
fresh cucumber pickles, and top it
off with fresh fruit.

"Seed producers can prevent
much of the loss of clean seed
and reduction in grade because
of foreign material in the seed
if they will thoroughly rogue
their fields" reports Ralph D.
Mercer, extension agronomist at
Montana State college. I'm
fact" he says, "rouging of fields
is one of the first things that
should be done in producing
high quality seed in Montana.
Laboratory tests" he contin-
ued, show that sweet clover,
hare's ear mustard, wild mus
tard and pigweed are the COM
monest causes Of dockage In
alfalfa seed. These weeds are
easy to eradicate if the neceS-
Sary steps are taken in time.
"Ffelds of small grain should
be rogued periodically from the
time the field is in full head
until harvest time" Mercer said.
"The best time to rogue Is early
in the morning or late in the
evening. BY rouging against the
sun and taking a narrow strip
each time with allowance made
for overlapping each strip, a
thorough job can be done. Hur-
ried roguing of a field just
before inspection will not clean
the field thoroughly"
Inspection of fields of small
grains and small seed will start
around the first day of July
and the work will be done by
Mercer and Joe Eisenman of
Park City, it was stated.
