more point in mind, the engineers
say. He should, if possible use an
anti-freeze that has behind it long
record of performance. Good anti
freezes do quite a bit more than
merely keep freeze-up away.
They keep the formation of rust,
corrosion, and scale at minimum.
They do it by means Of "inhibitors"

only safe course is to have It power

solution has already been put in,
the check-up can be made just as
easily, draining off the solution and

CHAPTER XII

During the first week of October,
the trailer encourage established
Baystown as headquarters and were
giving parking facilities in the Com
munity Center. From this base, the
campaigners went off daily on fly
ing junkets by automobile with
noisy escort of police. 1t had been a
hard week, for this was the begin
ming of the Senator's statewide
sweep for votes.
On Saturday, Aunt Olympia ex-
hibited a degree Of nervous energy
for which not even the hard week
could be held entirely accountable.
She spent the morning relaxing in
bed and studying manuscript. She
spent the afternoon having a facial,
wave. a mud pack and a hot
bath. The Senator had gone of with
Dave and Cecil to attend a picnic
Of the Young Democrats at Hard
castle, planning to return to Bays
town in time to address the big rally
IN the Auditorium at eight O'Clock.
He had wanted to take the girls
along, but Aunt Olympia had put her
| foot down on that. mo, want them
| to get rested up 20 they'll be pretty
and fresh tonight, = she said. "And
Il Limpy were OF with you and Gees

Glacier County chief., 1940-06-14

You'd better take the full-length
mirror, Adele. 1t doesn't make so
much difference about the rest of
u.s."
Aunt Olympia's words were pro-
phetic. At eight o'clock, after pre-
liminary speeches and introduce
tons, Jim Allen, the state chair
man, shouted into the microphone:
Attention, attention, attention.
Ladies and gentlemen! We have just
received word that our good friend,
Senator Slopshire, has been unavoid-
ably detained at Hardcastle. He
will not waste a moment getting
here, but in the meantime, out here
in the trailer just finishing their
quiet supper, we have that grand
old trouper, Olympia Slopshire, the
Senator's wife, and her young
nieces. Shall l try to induce Olym-
pia to make few remarks until the
Senator gets here?"
A roar of applause went up.
"Jim's probably mentioned trying
to induce me-" said Olympia, bland
ly, busting her face with powder
and tucking back a nervous curl.
Jim Allen banged on the trailer
door. Olympia opened it.
Mrs. Slopshire, the Senator il
unavoidably detained few minutes.
Won't you come over and just say
howdy to the folks? Just pass away
the time till the Senator gets here?"
Nov, Jim, you know l don't
know thing about politics! I leave
all that to the Senator!" protested
Aunt Olympia.
well, they want to see you any,
how Just hear them cheering over
there! You don't have to make a
speech just give them a smilel
Come on, Mrs. Slopshire! Come on,
girls"

temporaneous wise-cracks you've
been thinking up all summer" whis-
pered Limpy.

said Aunt Olympia. in high good
humor. y.
The auditorium was packed to the
door; packed hundred feet beyond
the doors, in fact, there was a rear
entrance giving easy access to the
i platform, but Jim Allen forced Z
way through the crowd to lead his
smiling contingent right through the
voting public.

mo; not those. The next-to-pret-
test"
"Is this a special meeting, Aunt
ie?" asked Adele.
well, it's apt to be-" admitted
Aunt Olympia nervously. "And it's
my policy to be prepared for any
thing. You see-very possibly-this
may be the night the Senator will
be late and they'll call on me for
my extemporaneous speech. That's
why I ordered these little corsages
for all of us. Rosebuds. ! prefer
orchids but they look too expensive
for campaigner."
But why do we have to wear
corsages and look nicer than usual?
They won't call on US, will they?"
"Oh, no, dears, Of course not. But
you will have to sit on the plat
form and look nice and take bow
or two."
"But we always do that!"

temporaneous speech we always
have extra photographers on hand
:. Ladies and gentlemen she
murmured, working on her chin and
smiling urbanely.
At six o'clock, groups began
streaming into the park. Micro
phones had been set up all over
the grounds, so that those unable to
crowd into the auditorium might
hear. At seven, floodlights were
turned on, and the band struck up.
"We'd better dress now" said
Aunt Olympia.
"It's very crowded for four to
dress in here" objected Adele.
Cant we take our bags and dash
over to the hotel?"
mo. It's more effective for them
to summon US from the trailer; in
case they call on US, of course.

eth probably end up by my do
ing it anyhow" she told the Senator
savagely. "But I'm making every
effort to wait till after the election"
"You can't really blame him, my
dear, for liking the child's looks"
he argued mildly. Everybody likes
her looks. You know, Ollie, to tell
the truth" he continued hesitantly,
II like her looks better than Adele's
myself"
Olympia groaned. That was the
gall and wormwood of it. She did,
too.
Her distress was so great that the
Senator decided to speak to Cecil
himself, without telling her anything
about it; for the Senator was de-
voted to Olympia and would humili-
ate himself to almost any depth to
spare her distress. He had Cecil
sent up to his library and closed
the door.
"See here, Cecil" he began, mat
ter-of-factly; 81 want you to stop
flirting with Limpy."
Cecil rose right up out of his
chair to answer that. Flirting with
Limpy, sir! I'm not flirting with
LimpyI"
You're not! You're not flirting
with Limpy? Well, what do
you call it?"
~ don't call it anything, sir. But
I know it isn't flirting. I'm era
zy about Limpy."
well, stop it! Her aunt and I
will positively not permit anybody
to be crazy about Limpy until-after
the election"
81 wouldn't dream of flirting with
Limpy," said Cecil, aggrievedly.
"Any time. The election has moth
ing to do with it."
"Well, you've got her aunt all up
set about it and we can't worry
about Limpy and win an election at
the same time"
"But what have I done, Senator?
I've been very careful I only
gave her that pin-and everybody
wears Sloppy pins And Mrs.
Slopshire asked me to be nice to
the girls"
"To the girls, yes. Not to Limpy.
Just to Helen and Adele. They're
as good as married anyhow. Not
| Limpy."
"You know, Senator" Cecil con-
fessed shyly, 81 could get married
myself if-she was old enough. With
! my political experience in this cam
paign I'm sure to land a good job
somewhere. And I've got money
enough to take care of a via
woman. I could do lot better for
a girl than Len Hardesty."
you've got to stop looking at
her," said the Senator firmly.
"But Senator, you must realize
there's no place else to look when
Limpy's there" demonstrated Cecil
desperately.
"I'm sorry, Cece, but you've got
to stop it. Pay attention to your
work. And when you are discuss
ing the campaign with US, you
needn't address your remarks to
Limpy. She's not running for office
and I am"
"rn try, Senator" he said un-
happily. 81 don't want to upset
Mrs. Slopshire and / do want the
campaign to 60 through all right.
But Senator, you must see how i'm
possible it is to look at anybody else
when Limpy's in the ROOM"
! "Pn keep her out of the room as
much as I can," promised the Sen
ator, kindly. "You keep your eyes
glued to Mrs. Slopshire. Discretion
is the best policy-at your age. When
you get to be my age, glance or
two at Limpy won't hurt you. It'll
even set you up a little. But for
the time being, you stick to Mrs.
Slopshire.
