The Low Down On
HICKOR GROVE

I see where in Oklahoma the
Governor has been counting his
change, and you know, he is up
on his ear. Says those swivel
chair slicker boys down on the
high and mighty Potomac short
changed him. They owe Okla
homa $50 thousand, he says,
and until they fork over the
cash he is gonna close down the
show. They been meein' around
in his state on another one of
those dams, like they are put
ting in all over the country.
Maybe those old boys there
in the Sooner State are quiet
acting and friendly, but you rile
'em up, and pardner, they are
bad medicine!
We been kinda fooled all
around, On this dam building
business. Besides Oklahoma, the
folks over in Tennessee and out
in Oregon and lots of places,
they are scratching their heads
and feeling dubious.
Citing rt-changed 2 bits
at the side-show wagon, you
can charge it to fun and amuse-
ment, but when it comes to $50
thousand, Oklahoma, she starts
shootin'.
Yours, with the low down,

TELLS HOW TO TREAT
SORE EYES IN LAMBS

Sore eyes in lambs resulting
from the outer skin of the low
er eyelid being too long or the
inner membrane being too
short, may be successfully
treated by gathering up a nub-
bin of skin of the eyeliid and
tying it tightly with a heavy
thread, says DR.. Howard WEIGH,
veterinarian at Montana State
college.
When his condition exists
the soreness of the eyes is
caused by the eyelid rolling in
ward and bringing the eyelash-
eS and hair of the lower lid in
to contact with the eyeball. This
produces an acute inflamma-
ton of the eye, with watery dis
charge, and the formation of a
gray film over the eye. In a day
or two the lamb is practically
blind in the affected eye.
In treating this condition the
loose outer skin of the lower
lid is taken up until the lid lies
straight and flat against the
eyeball. Then a flap of skin is
held between the thumb and
finger nails and a heavy thread
tied around the nubbin of skin.
This makes a knot Of skin about
the size of a small pea and
holds the eyelid in normal po-
sition. In a few DAYS the knob
of skin drops off, the inflam-
nation in the eye subsidies and
the eye appears normal in a
dav or two.
Using this simple treatment
will in most cases make a thrift
ty lamb out of an otherwise
half blind bum" lamb, DR..
WEIGH said.

SARAH MARLEY, wea!thy

| yellow, and she knew that it was
more sophisticated than the other
more feminine one.
It was a little difficult to go
partying so many nights, and yet
be alert and eager at her desk the
next day. Now and then she found
her eyes closing and lectured Sc
verely to herself. Finally, n day,
she declined a party date with
Ronnie.
I'D adore it," she murmured
into the white ivory telephone on
her desk, 'but 1 have to work until
nine tonight, and honestly, I'm too
dead to 60 home and dress. Count
me out just this once, won't you,
honey?"
And count yourself out, too, she
wanted to add. After all, none OF
the others went to every merry
making-that is, the stars didn't.
Ronnie would veal out at this
pace. And Sarah would adore it
if his horn grew rusty. Only
she, Linda, couldn't tell him.
But Ronnie sensed her thought.
1--WE been OVERRIDING it this week.
There's a halt called now. One
milk-shake after performances, a
walk or ride, a brief one, and
home. Like that better?"
Much. Except on Saturday
nights. Sunday you are free"
"Oh, by the way, I'm going out
of town this weekend. A party
the Markleys are throwing until
Monday noon. Since I stayed put
I'm in for it. But I'll hurry back.
I may get Sarah to invite you.
She knows I want it, and she's do
ing a peaches and cream act late
ly. Maybe she needed to be taken
down a few pegs-have the CLAM
or spaked out of her."
That's what you think, Linda
unused, when the telephone was
back in its cradle. But I know the
girl, and she's waiting, waiting!
Caroline had been engaged at
the agency and she continued to
live with Linda. 1t was nice to
have someone with whom to share
the rent, she had decided, especi-

CHAPTER TEN

The news story was not long 1t
did not need to be. To Linda,
reading it as she waited for Ron
ME to finish rehearsal and call
her, the words held double mean
ing
The item explained that all
members of the band and caste Of
the Marley company were being
asked to sign a contract that they
would not marry, unless already
married, until the completion of
the show.
So this was Saran's way of erect
ing a blockade. Linda let the pa
per fall to the floor. She knew
that Ronnie had not been informed
of the decision yet, when she rode
through the park such a brief while
before. Of course he knew by now.
And what would he do?
Leave the show to do as he
pleased, she supposed. And she
knew that she could not let him
do that. If love was real, if it
endured, if it suffered all things,
hoped all things, then it could wait
and not grow furnished in tn e
waiting. If it did, then it was not
real. No, Linda told herself in
the amazed moments that followed
the reading of the feature, she had
no reason for fear. In a certain
sense she was relieved. That was
odd. 1t was cowardly, she reflect
ed. Loving Ronnie as she did,
even a little while ago she had
been afraid to interfere with the
web the fates were spinning.
But she put all philosophy aside
as the real knowledge came home.
