port. Then his reeling senses cleared.
He saw the cougar on the ground before
him. That last arrow had gone true,
striking just above the blade of the left
shoulder and going straight into the wild
beasts heart. The cougar was deadl
Tonic didn't feel the pride he had ex-
pected. The great beast, with its coat
of sleek fur, was dead. Tonic had taken
a life. Why? He didn't need to kill the
cougar. He didn't need its pelt for
warmth, or the meat for food. The cou.
gar had never injured him. True, the
animal would have killed the Indian boy
if it had not been killed, but Tonic had
invaded its domain, and the animal had
died trying to defend what it had con-
sidered its own.

MIDDLE BELT WEED

Growers May Offer Slightly
Better Leaf Than Sold

RALEIGH, Sept. 16.-R-
Growers on nine Middle Belt to-

producers sales last year, are;
Aberdeen, 1880, 470 pounds; Car

whether we like it or not the

This is the trend of the times
doubt if it will ever be reversed.

ward Capitalization let me bring
you close to home. How is the

trend of the times. Management
from Washington requires it. / do
not criticize it. I merely point it
out to you.
But yet the fundamental rights
of free men we still have, and it
| might not be amiss IN these troub-
lous times to bear them in mind,
to be ever jealous of them, and
ever thankful:
i. Freedom of religion, speech,
the press, and assembly.
2. The right to keep and bear
arms.
3. The right against unreason-
able searches and seizures.
4. The right not to be tried ex-
cept upon indictment or present
ment of a Grand Jury Of your fell
low men.
S. The right not to be tried twice
or the same offense.
6. The right not to be compelled
to testify against yourself.
Z. The right not to be deprived
Of life, liberty or property without
due process of law.
8. Freedom from governmental
confiscation of your property ex-
cept for a public use, and then
only upon just compensation.
8. The right to a fair, speedy,
and public trial by a jury Of your
peers.
10. In case Of trial the right to
be previously informed of the ma
ture of your offense.
II. The right to be confronted by
the witnesses against you.

Could a confiscation of property

Could the horribly farcical trial
now going on in Rom, France, in
which Gamelin, Daladier, Reynaud

prosecuted occur in America? 1t

And yet, remember, all these
countries where the despot n o W

good one at that. But their peo'

There are five methods that
could be used:
The Constitution could be amend
ed, in one Of the two legitimate
ways which it provides, and die
tatorial powers could be given one
man. This method would never be
used; it is too long a cooling period
for fevered minds to endure. It
was planned that way.
A third method might be tried
the President, under war t. m e
emergency powers, might effect 8
coup d'etat with the backing of the
Army and Navy. There's not 8
chance TO this-it's just not in the
makeup of an American service
man. That's South American stuff,
except when used as a bugbear by
political obstructionists in Con-
gress.
A fourth method would be revo-
lution-but this is not probable due
to the size of our country and the
loyalty of the Services. Still, it is
possible. 1t might be a result OF
the use of the fifth method.
The fifth method would be in

II was in the course of the Revo-

United States under the Articles OF
Confederation, which was the pred

Under this covenant between the
States. each State had an equal
voice, and it required the vote OF
the representatives Of nine states
to pass any important legislation.
Far worse than this the Congress
had no control of commerce and
no power to raise money. 1t could
only requisition money from the
several sovereign states, and hope
that the states would honor the
requisiuon-which they seldom did.
As a result the Revolutionary Wal
was fought under almost insur-
mountable difficulties: struggling
troops that went home when they
liked to look after the crops, dis
satisfied and jealous states that
were scarcely interested in any
event beyond their own borders,
unusually adverse weather, enemy
armies well trained and well

Tonic fred his first shaft at the
erouehing cougar, but he fred too
quickly. The hint-tipped arrow struck
the animal a glancing blow in the mid
die Of the back. 1t stung the beast and
served to spur its anger to a ~leaping,
charging fury.
Except that the space between the
Indian boy, Tonic, and the cougar was
too far to cover in a single leap, Tonic
would have been killed then and there.
Tonic saw with dismay that his shot
had missed and hurriedly he jumped
aside to place a tree between himself
and the tawny mass OF fur.
Tonic quickly snatched another ar
row from the culver on his back.
Scarcely aware of what he did, he let

The cougar took the arrow in the
shoulder. The shaft bit deep. Though
it didn't strike a vital spot, it hurt the
animal. The huge beast snarled in a
way that made the earth beneath trem-
BILE and threshed about with barbed
claws paving at the thing that caused
the pain.
For a moment, Tonic felt a pang Of
sympathy for the beast. Killer though
it might be, the cougar was stuff ering.
Tonic didn't like to see any living crea-
ture in torture. He drew a third arrow,
feeling for the moment that he had con-
quered. But he underestimate his OPP
~ponent-a mistake too often made by
warriors and hunters. He held back his
next shot, awaiting the chance to strike
a spot where his arrow would kill
quickly.
Meanwhile the cougar, with a mighty
sweep of a powerful paw, knocked out
the ~torturing shaft and, with naked
fangs, once again faced Tonic.
The cougar crouched, her leaped.
This time a scant eight feet of space
was between the beast and Tonic. The
Indian boy had barely time to snap the
bowstring. He saw the arrow quit the
bow, then felt the hot breath of the cou-
gar in his face. Those gaping jowls, it
seemed, were at his face. He saw the
fangs, then the claws. The cougars
forefeet raked down Tonto's chest. He

for life itself.
