But he might have known. And
if Sarah was so unimportant, why
did he let her stay in his circle?
Sarah was subtle. And beautiful.
Far more beautiful than she
Linda) was, though her eyes were
a wide green and her nose and
mouth and eyebrows flew upward
in gay intrigue. There were wom-

"Well, anyway, the man did

Caroline said, pouring the milk into
a pan. That's a lot. I've been
waiting for a call and if it comes,
and it may, at three OF four or
five, it will just be a half dozen

The telephone suddenly rang,
and she put down the pan. Her
face became white and her eyes
were frightened. Take it, Linda,
won't you, p%lease?" she WHISPERED.
1t was Terry, even as Caroline
had known. She took the telephone
from Linda, forcing her voice into
a steady gaiety.
Caroline, honey" he said excit-
eddy. Guess what happened? put

You'll get a proper bid tomorrow.
Linda, darling, if another oppor-
tunity opens I'll ditch this show
and we won't have this suspense.
Suspense? You mean it's haro
on you?"
After all, she was thinking, two
people who loved each other should
be SO understanding they could now
laugh at delays. Only she and Ron

seemed to move SO swiftly and
somehow they sensed that they
must seize it and 60 with the tide.

Before Caroline returned the
buzzer sounded again. It was the
Markley chauffeur, calling for Ron
ME. He shrugged his shoulders into
his %overcoat, kissed Linda, waved
as he disappeared down the well of
the stairs. His kiss was a casual
goodby, Linda noted. No banners
flew in it tonight. But then, two
people couldn't walk to singing
drums all of the time. And there
had been other nights
She remembered that Rob had
left her at this doorway a short
time before and smiled ruefully.
She was just closing the door
when Caroline came back, bringing
a street corner bunch of yellow
jonquils.
She had two quarts of milk. Il

"But she a do a lot of harm
before she grows any older. For

now. That wasn't necessary, was
it,"
Linda felt a little ill. "You mean
she was in the family car now?"
Beautiful as ever, and radiating
good cheer"
HE didn't know she was coming.
Anyway, he didn't mention it,"

Warns Dealers Against
Misleading Statements

HELENA-The Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue has had its attention
called to the fact that in certain in
stances dealers in articles subject
to the internal revenue taxes have
raised the prices of these products
to consumers in amounts consider
ably in excess of the defense taxes
imposed by the Revenue Act of l940
The Bureau has received reports
that a number of such dealers have
represented to their customers that
such increases in prices are due sole
ly to the imposition of the defense
taxes
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue issued a warning today that
under section 1925 of the Internal
Revenue Code, whoever in connec-
ton with the sale or lease, or offer
for sale or lease, of any article, or
for the purpose of making such
sale or lease, makes any statement,
written or oral, intended or calcu-
lated to lead any person to believe
that any part of the price at which
such article is sold or leased, or Of
fered for sale or lease, consists of a
tax imposed under the authority OF
the United States, or ascribing par
ticular part of such price to tax
imposed under the authority of the
United States, knowing that such
statement is false or that the tax
is not SO great as the portion of such
price ascribed to such tax, shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished
by fine of not more than ST 900 OF
by Imprisonment not exceeding one
year, or both.

Tells How To
Irrigate Potatoes

BOZEMAN.-To obtain maximum
yields Of marketable potatoes it is
necessary that the ground be kept
moist enough throughout the sea
son to encourage continuous growth,
says G. H. Bingham, extension IT.
rigation specialist at Montana State
college
The color of the potato foliage is
good index to the amount OF
moisture in the soil available to the
plant, he said. Plants getting the
proper amount of moisture for good
growing conditions have a normal
color of foliage for the variety Di-
minishing moisture causes the foil
age to take on a darker green col
or. Plants suffering for want of
water have decidedly dark, blue
green color. On the other hand,
too much water is indicated by a
light-green appearance OF the fol-
iage.
After the first irrigation of po-
tatoes, the soil should be kept moist
during the remainder of the grow
ing season by light frequent irrl-
cations. These should continue UNI
til about the first of September or
about one month before digging
time. The number of irrigations
will vary with seasonal conditions.
In irrigating, care should be kept
not to saturate the soil below the
tubers.
