Club and had signed our pledge. After
conference between mother, bride
and groom, they decided to return the
gift, which was done in a very diplo-
matte way. Now, l am quite posi-
tive if we did not indoctrinate the
mother with the principles Of our
BUY AMERICAN philosophy, this
Japanese tea set would never have
been returned. want to also state
that our Buy American principles re-

stances of this nature-not alone in
chinaware and pottery, but in glass
ware, rugs, matches, gloves and all
kinds Of foreign merchandise; but
again l appeal to you that we have
only scratched the surface in our
campaign. Our BUY AMERICAN
philosophy should be thoroughly in
doctrinated in the hearts Of all the
people; and l feel like a preacher
standing before his flock, asking for
funds to support the economic philos-
ophy we all so thoroughly believe in.
l do hope you good people will see
the wisdom of not alone renewing the
support you gave us last year, but
that you will expand it so that the en-
tire membership of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters will
be enrolled in the Made In America
Club.
I have many plans for an expansion
of our work and one in particular
which l have thought of for many
years has been ffteen-minute

Such a newsreel could be prepared
either in conjunction with the U. S

Brotherhood, or it could be a distinct

Rudolph Hess, The Nations Talk

would know better than to trust idiot Whatever Hess
Grand has certainly been npped in the bud Bringing
photos of himself to possibly prove his identity was
minor, the major proofs would have been something to
prove the for his coming prove his interest is
for peace's sake
A crossing of statements by Hess and by the German
government has added mystery to the The
world couldn't be made to beeve~a who has been
secretary for Hitler the Hitler Bible and enjoyed
Nazi political popularity would flee Germany for his
life-hs life certainly in less danger there than

Why would any one be hiding In

AS there seemed to be no answer,
they rode silently back to the cor
raj. AS they were dismounting
John said, "If you will give me a
list of those supplies, I'll get them
for you. I have some business OF
my own to attend to in town. I can
ride in this afternoon and come

Just as Allison had finished lunch
she heard a step on the patio
and, crossing the living room, she
saw Bill Branson at the door. She
always dreaded his visits, yet she
could never give a very adequate
reason to herself for 1t.
Good afternoon, Mr.. Branson. !"
She went out on the porch to meet
him.
Good afternoon, Miss Carver.
Such a nice spring afternoon I
thought I'd go calling on my pretty
young neighbor." :"
He was standing beside her now.
a stocky, self-satisfied man, never
without half-smoked cigar in his
mouth. His f1orid face suggested
that he might drink heavily, al
though Allison had never seen him
drunk. But, then, she never sought
the company of Will Branson. 1t
was always thrust upon her.
Wont you come inp It's quite
cool in the living room" She turned
and led the way.
Il hadn't intended to stay" he
protested, but followed her just the
same and dropped into an easy chair.
"I had to go to town and wondered
If there was anything you might
need-medicine or bandages or any
thing?"
She glanced up. startled by his
question. but very much on her
guard as she replied: mo, I don't
believe so. We are q very healthy
bunch around here. We will 90 in
the end of the week and replenish
our groceries. I don't believe there
Is anything we will be needing be-
fore that time" Why had he men
toned bandages? Could he have
heard about Ret? She checked her
trend of thought abruptly. 1t wasn't
at all uncommon to get medicine
and bandageS on almost every trip
to town. With a small ranch settle
ment such things are always in de-
mand.
AllisOn's Doubts Arise.
"You haven't changed your mind
about selling your ranch, have you?"
She waited a full minute before
replying Why are you so inter-
ested in buying this ranch? Why do
you think that I want to sell?"
He carefully f1icked the ashes from
the end of his cigar and leaned
forward. Miss Carver, this isn't the
kind of job for a girl. Maybe you
were raised in the West and maybe
you know cattle, but it's a mans
game and a hard one. This is as
good a ranch as there is in the val
ley and would like to add to my
acreage, and as they adjoin, it is
only natural that would think of
this place first. I'm anxious to add
to my holdings so I can get some
more cattle on the range this sea-
son. What would you consider q
fair price?"
What am I offered?"
Then you are ready to sell?" His
face became eager with anticipation
He hitched his chair forward.
81 didn't say that, Mr.. Branson.
I merely said, what am offered?"
"I told you the other day that you
could name any price within rea-
son and I would pay it-in good
hard cash"
Allison stood up, "Mr. Branson,
I am not planning to sell this ranch
now or at any future time" But
even as she spoke Allison was won

picked up bits of rock and slowed
them in his saddlebags, but Allison
thought 1t unwise to ask questions.
Once he turned abruptly to her,
Would you say that Ret and I
look much alike in the saddle? I
mean, do we look enough alike at
night for some one to think he was
shooting at me instead of Ret?"
They Look Alike.
She pondered the question before
replying. "Yes, John, you do look
somewhat alike in the saddle, but
no one could mistake Glory, even at
night. He is much larger than the
average horse around here. I be-
lieve any one could recognize him
even at night. Do you think they
might have been aiming at you? Is
there any one around here that
would want to kill you?"

silence, then John spoke again, 1T
hasn't rained gold or anything yet,
has it?"
mo, John, it hasn't. I'm no near
er a solution than when talked to
you the day the letter arrived. My
only hope is that he will let me buy
him out in small payments. AS long
as he doesn't need the money, he
might let me do that. If we could

have a pretty good roundup this
