that times are better than in 1929
And he further stated, 'sThe output
of our factories and mines is now
about Is per cent greater than the
peak of 1929; 1929, mind you, not
1882. 1t is at the highest level ever
recorded"
Col. Leonard Ayres, national au-
thority on production, writing in the
Cleveland Trust company bulletin,
says: "There has recently been pub
lished perplexing revision of the
Federal Reserve index of the vol
ume of industrial production. Ac-
cording to the new index, our indus
trial production has been much
greater in recent years than the old
index led us to believe"
This seems hard to reconcile with
the fact that on per capita basis
our national income last year was
only 81 per cent as large as it was
in 1926. Freight loadings per cap
tia were So per cent as large. Au-
tomobiles made were 81 per cent as
many. Bank checks drawn were so
per cent as much. All construction
was 81 per cent as great in value.
Industrial employment was "a per
cent as large. Department store
sales were rs per cent as great.
There are many more similar dis
crepancies which appear irreconcil-
able with the claim of the new in
dex that we produced last year as
large volumes of industrial goods per
person in our population as we did
in the boom years of 1926 and 1928.
This bank will regretfully refrain
from reliance on the new index and
will substitute for it an index COM
puted in it's own offices and COM
piled from component sources max
ing up the Federal Reserve index"
Colonel Ayres, who made these
computations, was this governments
World war statistician. He has just
been recalled to that service by the
war department. He is a leading
authority on this subject. He made
these remarks long before the Pres
ident spoke.
The figures he quotes are not syn
thetic deductions such as overall in
dexes of production must be. They
are actual counts.

Bowie looked at the land he loved,

He watched the Indian ride silent

Away, unused Bowie, to the scene

wounded animal, we crawl back to
die where the arrow struck us down?
And I, he unused on, back to the

how can we buy grain to feed these
poor people? And it would break
your heart, senorita, to see them
plead with us for food. They look
to us as children to their mother.
They do not understand. They only

Garments eyes flashed. 81 know
what we can do, Padre. We have
at Guadalupe every promise of a
bountiful harvest. The wheat is al
most ready to cut. There is a gran

In Monterey DR.. Doane's office
was not far from the water front.
The doctor himself, in the inner Of
fee, was engaged one morning in
reading when the outer door opened
and a bearded man looked in on
him.
The doctor glanced up. BOWEL"
he exclaimed. where in Texas did
you come from? Sit down."
II hardly expected to see you
again in California" said the doc
tor, when the men had seated them
selves, $50 tell me all about it."
''Not much to tell" countered
Bowie. 81 got letter from Cap

fer to join him as a partner. So
I'm on my way to San Francisco,
as they call it now, to get some
money from Nat Spear and take a
boat Wednesday with my horses up
the river. It's three months now
since the captain wrote, so he may
have made different arrangements.
Well See."
There was a natural bond Of SYM
pathy between the Irish doctor and
the gaunt Texan. They talked some
time before the conversation turned
to what Bowie wanted to hear about.
But since both were pretty good
at masking their inner thoughts and
each waited on the other. it took
time to bring the talk around to
Rancho Guadalupe.

But he knew Bowie better than any
other person at Guadalupe. He had
seen him in many tight places; he
had seen him meet emergency and
knew his resourcefulness. He could
only say, and did say, that he
thought Bowie would make it and
return.
Many moons passed at the rancho
before anyone knew whether Pc
dro's prophecy or Don Ramon's
foreboding would prove right. Quad
alupe affairs did not improve in
the long interval; rather, they grew
worse.
To make matters worse at Quad
alupe, Don Ramon, never robust, a
man of peace, untitled to cope with
such conditions, fell ill, and the trou-
bled management of the rancho fell
on Dona Maria.
This, in turn, meant that Carmen
would have to assume share OF
the burden, and she did SO. Pedro
gradually came to look to her first
for her mothers orders and at
length for her own. Carmen of ne
cessity became active in the saddle
and, under the wing of Pedro and
his husky vaqueros, full of fight at
the thought of marauders. Her
mothers chief worry was that the
burning-eyed girl would become en-
broiled, to her undoing, in resist
ing minor raids on the rancho.
None of this round of anxieties
and excitement diminished the in
terest of Dona Maria or her daugh-
ter in the affairs of Mission Santa
Clara. It's now rapid spoliation by
the greedy Mexican government
served to sharpen the sympathies
of Dona Maria and Carmen for the
patient padres who submitted with
out resistance to the outrageous pill
lage Of their corrupt oppressors.

rita," said Padre Martinez to Car

of them, into savagery. With our

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Now that the numbers have been
drawn for Americas first peacetime
CONSUMPTION, an incident which
arose during the draft lottery of 1917
can finally be told. At that time a
young lady with diversified shoes al
most upset the entire draft mechan-
ism.
Great ceremony and close inspec-
ton accompanied the drawing of the
first few numbers by various high
officials. But the numbers were
picked out of the bowl for hours
after the novelty" had worn off,
and lesser lights performed the
tedious work for 16 more hours.
One of the employees was girl
with shoes too large for her. The
historic work she performed was
also very firing, so she was glad
when she could return to her room
that night.
She kicked off her shoes with
sigh of relief, and-horrors-a draft
capsule rolled out.
Almost frantic, she rushed to a
telephone and explained the whole
story to an unnamed general who
promptly told her to rush back to
headquarters.
The authorities held short, secret
conference and selected the only
course that seemed open to them:
They palmed the capsule and dex-
terously slipped it back into the
bowl. And no one was the wiser.
German overlords apparently are
trying to use Americas sympathy
for the French as a lever to break
the British blockade. At least this
is the opinion held by some govern
ment officials who are watching the
efforts of M. CASTOR Henri-Haye,
French ambassador to America, to
release frozen French assets in this
country.
They note that any advantage Sc
cured for the Vichy government
could be utilized by the dominat-
ing Germans. The prestige and ex-
perience of the French consular and
diplomatic forces in Washington
place them in a far more favorable
position than the German legation.
The federal government will prob
ably control more than 81, 500, 900, 900
worth of food and fiber supplies by
midwinter as farmers continue to
store millions of bushels of wheat
and thousands of bales of 1910 cotton.
Government loan programs which
encouraged the storage will be made
available on corn and possibly sew
eral other crops in the near future.
Originally designed to bolster
farm prices, the loan program is
being fitted into the national defense
program, according to agricultural
department officials.

will be ready"
call his own, hoping as he did to
unite with its fortunes the grandiose
domain of the Pacific Coast.
In California itself he had been
forced to realize how futile any such
effort must be. Much greater ma
tions-the ambitious Americans, the
perennially grasping British, the
Black-bearded Russians, the easy
going Spaniards and the thrice-stu-
pid Mexicans-were all striving to
land in their laps the prize of the
world California.
And now after ten years the re-
public of Texas was no more. A
new crop of politicians had sprung
up. The warriors of Texas were
gone, or their counsels were sneered
at. The Shareholders of the United
States were plotting to add the vast
territory of the little republic to the
slaveholding states, and they now
controlled the sentiment of Texas.
Ysabel was right
It took some time for Bowie to get
all this clear in his head. But the
clearer the intrigue became, the
deeper grew his disgust for the an
nexationists who were seated in the
political saddles.
He realized that, after all, poll
tics held no abiding interest for
him. The thing that pleased him
most was the wild longhorns Of the
great prairies. The longhorn of his
youth had not changed; the vast
sweep of the Staked Plain had not
changed.
And then there was sense of the
comradeship of these men that rode
with him through fair sunshine and
foul northers, men who had no am
bition but to serve, no instinct but
of loyalty, in whose lexicons there
was no such word as fear-most Of
them had fought in the battles of
Texas for freedom-men who hated
the greaser politicos with a right
eous hatred and owed no fealty to
any but their leader.
To Bowie such men were all in
all. His concerns were their con-
Germs, his feuds, their feuds; his
enemies, their enemies. Bowie loved
his cowboys; they loved him
proved it through storm and stress.
Yet something, somewhere in his
thoughts, would never quite disap-
pear. Banished, it would always
come back. Those other nights,
those nights glorified by the same
stars-it was the thought of those
that stole in on his wakeful hours.
With everything to invite sleep
peace in the silent camp, peace in
the stilled winds, a hard days ride
behind, hard days ride ahead
sleep would not come. The stars of
the vast plains to look up at :.
but these same stars lighted the
night in California. The cattle
with their death-dealing horns, were
full brother warriors Of those long
horns of California.
Everything seemed to say Cali
fornia. Before he had left it they
had told him it would be so. No
one, they told him, could forget Cal
ifornia. He would, they said, al
ways hear the soft wild call of the
oriole, the plaintive note of the
meadow lark, the distant COO of the
ruddy-throated dove. If he had to
think of California, these were the
thoughts he tried to dwell on. One
he doggedly tried to shun-the mu-
sic of one voice, a voice that he
strove so hard not to hear when
sleep summed him.

was forced, he said,
against his intention
to be drafted" as
an unwilling candi-
date-forced by the

of his opponents.
The chief mis-
representation" of
which he complained
was their assertion
that this depression
