that it is "un-American" because it
attempts to give the producer more

lower the purchase price to the con-
sumner.
Speaking at Little Rock, Arkansas,
before the mid-year meeting of the
Arkansas Association of Insurance
Agents, Frederick w. Doremus de-
clared, This (co-operative) plan has
as its foundation the sale of produc-
ers' goods and services through mar
keting cooperation at the highest pos
sible figure and the purchase of COM
modities at wholesale for distribution
through consumer cooperation. We
know that such plan doesn't square
with the economic foundation upon
which the business of this country
has been built"
Addressing a Rotary Club luncheon
in Rochester, New York, Ray Murphy,
former national commander of the
American Legion and now assistant
Casualty and Surety Executives, de-
clared, "The cooperative movement is
revealed as planned program for the
complete overthrow of our tried and
true system of private enterprise.
Once the American people know the
truth about the cooperative move

DRIVE ON HAND
FOR RECRUITS FOR
THE THIRD CORPS

The drive for new recruits in the
Third Corps Area is progressing in a
satisfactory manner, according to Of
ficers at the Headquarters. Already
$50 men have enlisted, of the quota of
1900 expected by July 1st.
Many young men are taking the OPP
portunity now open to join the Army,
feeling that by coming into the SER
vice at this time they will be the first
to be promoted to higher and better
paying grades in the program for ex-
banding the Army.
In discussing the circumstances sur
rounding the joining of the service
with many of the new recruits, in
nearly every case they were surprised
at the wide number of opportunities
offered to young men by the Army
now.
For example, one young man was
astounded to learn that the cavalry
not only needed horsemen, but could
use many specialists, including motor
mechanics, radio mechanics and oper-
ators, ignition experts, chauffeurs,
truck drivers, musicians, clerks and
cooks. What is true of the cavalry
in the variety of opportunity is also
true of the other branches of the SER
vice.
There are opportunities in the Ar
my waiting for many young men. A
call or a card to the recruiting Off
Ger will bring complete information.

F. Byrd, in a press release last week.
"There are, no doubt, in America,
many citizens of other countries who
are making no effort to injure Amer
lean democracy, but it is equally true
that there are others who would in
jure and destroy us if they could The
treachery of the fifth column" in
Denmark, Norway, Holland and
France should be a warning to us.
Il thoroughly approve of the execu-
tive order of the President to trans
fer the Bureau of immigration and
Naturalization from the Labor Depart
ment to the Department of Justice,
but this is not enough.
"Action should be taken quickly
and no time lost in passing drastic
and compulsory legislation requiring
complete registration of every per-.
son in America who is not today a
legalized citizen, together with care
full supervision of the time of ex-
piration on the permits of those who
are here for intervals limited by
law" said the Senator.

MIDLAND, Pa, Nov. IA local
union of the Steel Workers Organiz-
ing Committee today sidestepped a
request from its national officers
that 1000 striking employees of
Crucible Steel Co. mills here return
to work in the interest of national
defense.
The strike action, which practically
shut down operations, was criticized
in telegram sent yesterday to
officers of the Midland local by Clin-
ton S. Golden, S. w. o. c. regional
director.
Mr.. Golden said the action violated
the unions contract with the COM
pany and cannot be condoned in
any way by national officers of your
union
He also said:
I'm view of the pledges given by
officers of your organization to our
Government to aid in the fulflllment
of the national defense program, 1
urge your members to return to work
without further delay so that the
pleuSeS llldy NC given ouOotollSC.
John Thornton, secretary-treas-
urer of the local union, commented
that the local officers had expected"
such reaction from national officers,
but they intended to proceed with
negotiations in their own way.
Walkouts at the mills, which were
producing armament steel for this
country and Great Britain, began
Sunday.
The union has held two con-
ferences with company officials, but
Mr.. Thornton said there was little
chance of an early agreement be-
cause the employees were very de-
termined" that they be given 12l2
per cent wage increase.
The company took the position
1t would not negotiate with the men
until they return to work.

bank. To Luise's intense relief she was
not asked the kind of questions Mr..
Quicksot had warned she might ex-
pect, for the manager evidently took 1t
for grantd she was in personal attend
ance on Mrs. Quicksot
He did, however, say kindly, IT I'M
derstand from Mr.. Quicksot's letter
that you are an Austrian refugee, Miss
JanSa, and I hope you will accept a
word OF sympathy. Beautiful Vienna! I
can't bear to think of it now" The girl
bent her head to hide the tears in her
eyes. Never once had her employer
alluded to her forlorn condition.
The bank-manager went on, Il fear
your position with this far from happy
couple can't be pleasant one"
Mr.. Quicksot has done what he can
to make me comfortable" she faltered.
Il have no doubt of that, for it is
to his interest to have kind, refined
young lady as companion to his wife.
But he thinks only of that peculiar
for Mrs. Quickest" and then, as if
he felt he had been indiscreet, he
stopped suddenly.
The day after Luise returned to
Lovesmere, Mr.. Quicksot paid the bills
in the village. When he came back he
said he was sure he had paid an ac-
count for which he had been charged
again, and would Fraulein Jansa look
for the receipt?
Late that afternoon, Mr.. Quicksot
being out in his motor, she began her
search, and at last she found what she
had been told to look for in a heap of
bills that had been left in a drawer of
Glacier County chief., 1940-03-08

the big old dresser which filled one
side OF the low-ceilinged kitchen. Yes,
there 1t was, duly receiptedl
And then, all at once, she noticed
that in corner Of the drawer was an
envelope on which was written in a
firm hand:
For the Cook Housekeeper
A list of her duties
She took it up, and noticed that the
ink was slightly faded
A list of her duties? Mr. Quicksot
like all inventors had but one thought
in his mind. She sensed that he en-
joyed her excellent cooking, but he had
not uttered word of approval after
she had spent three days of hard work
making what was her side of the house
fit to live in.
As she swept, washed and polished
she had frequently thrown a thought
to the invalid woman who she felt to
be at once so near and yet so far. And
as the days had gone on, she had asked
herself again and again whether Mr..
QulckSot was really the sort of man
in his own and his Wife'S rooms as he
had boosted he could, and did so.
She now looked at the envelope con-
sideringly. After all, she was the house
keeper now, so surely she had the
right to open that envelope and see
what was written there? And it would
throw light on Mrs. Quicksot's char
acter. She often specialized on what
this invalid woman was really like. The
list might even show if her mind was
as matter Of fact, deranged

after a few minutes the boat was
snaked out upon dry land. Skids were
laid to the wagon gears, and after
much effort the ferry was skidded up
onto the gears, Then all the cattle
were hitched ahead and the trip back
to the regular route of the ferry began.
Things went well until the party
came to shallow arm of the stream
Here some of the cattle would be in
water five feet deep while the others
were in shallow water. Three drivers
were placed on each side of the bulls
and some men rode in order to keep
the whole procession moving when it
began to bog down. Everybody expect
ed it to bog down, and to have to
haul the boat out upon dry land by
main force, but they were luckier than
they contemplated. The bulls moved
rapidly and the wagon gear did not
sink too deeply, so that the wet patch
was covered rapidly and dry land
reached again with a minimum of
trouble
Forty hours elapsed between the
time the boat broke loose and the time
1t was returned. Minor repairs were
made upon it. and once more it went
into service.
