her from the controls, flies the

OFFICER STARR EXPLAINS
CHAPTER XXX
Her parachute's open, she's
safe!" Wesley shouted franticaly
at the two officers in the autogirc
plane. "T-thank Cod"
Use your rifle!" the pilot

Hes got to land!"
There was no open held, no
cleared spot. Obviously Girardeau
was striving desperately. He did
guide the crippled ,onoplane over
huge boulders-then all at once it
struck the earth, bounced twice
and finally halted tail up against
thick yucca groWths. The autogiro
was settling right ear it.
Girardeau jumped from his
plane and started running. The
moment the autogiro touched
earth Wesley York aped out in
pursuit carrying Officer starts
gun.
"HALT!!" Wesley yelled.
Girardeau shot back twice, ran
on. The chase continued half a
mile, each man dodcing C c i,

Wesley saw they ad been run

where Ronnie landed, saw her un-
s%trapping her chute to be free.
She saw them then and began
shouting.
Glrardeau stopped abruptly be-
hind a rock and shot back again
and again, and Yves in turn
dropped prone to resume shooting.
He saw Girardeau'~ head go out
OF sight, and so he quickly sprang

Big Increase Noted
In livestock OlUs,ed
Blu Clients of FSA

An increase Of 1,131 percent in the
number of sheep owned by farm Sc
curity clients on the Milk river
northern Montana project in the last
five years is reported by project Of
ficials. In 1884 clients owned about
ATS. This figure has increased to about
$500 in 1899.
Beef cattle have increased by about
10 percent, dairy cattle by ITS percent,
hogs by 300 percent and poultry by
1872 percent. Clients own about $50
stock, 800 hogs and 8,750 chickens.
When resettlement clients were re-
located on developed. irrigable tracts
by the farm security administration,
livestock holdings had been greatly re-
duced by years of drouth and hard
times. Following resettlement of the
families an important phase of their
rehabilitation has been loans for dairy
cattle, farm flocks OF sheep or other
livestock to supplement the farm in
come. Livestock purchases were en-
couraged where grazing rights could
be obtained.
The addition of livestock has meant
a substantial increase in taxable per-
sonal property in Blaine. Phillips and
Valley counties. The project shows in
creased county revenue from 60 farms
in Phillips county since 1884. Sixty
resettlement units paid S4,909-31 in 1881
in taxes to counties. school districts
and irrigation district. an increase of
S1O5474 over the s2954.57 in 1884
While the government does not pay
taxes to counties. the Bankhead-J Jones
act provides that an equivalent Of
taxes be paid to local governments for
services rendered.
