the other camp, Lew. For every
outfit that Ben Thorpe has grabbed
by force of arms, he's going to lose
two; for every head that has come
into his herds by rustic and raid,
two head of his are going to be
missing when he makes his roundup
count. First thing, I'm going to

Lew Gordon looked Bill Roper
hard in the eye, smiled little, and
shook his head. His voice was slow
and deep, stubbornly emphatic, as
a granite cliff is emphatic. mo.
We've never gone outside the law
yet, and while l live we never will.
We play the straight game always;
and if we lose-that's in the hands
of things beyond US"
Bill Roper angered. 81 know how
you feel about it," he said, keeping
his voice down. "You swayed Dusty
that way always. If you'd looked
at it different, the guns would have
been out years ago-And it would
have been Ben Thorpe that went
down. AS it is-Dusty King is dead.
Now you want me to drift on as we
always drifted on, and I'm supposed
to forget that Dusty's out Their I'M
der pile of stones. Well, I'm not
going to play it Mat way, Gordon"
while you're With King Gordon"
Lew said slowly, you'll play it as
say. you'll play it."
IF you want to buy me out" Rop-
er said, "you can do it at your
own price. Because I'm going to do
exactly what tell you I'm going TO
do; 1 wouldn't run a sneak on you,
Lew"
You figure" Lew Gordon said in
credulously, "that you, one young
ster on horseback, can smash up
Ben Thorpe? You wouldn't last forty
seconds longer than a celluloid col
lar on a dead gambler"
"There'll be few go with me-"
Roper said.
"Who?"
DRY Camp Pierce for one; Lee
Harnish, Tex Daniels, Tex Long; in
all, maybe fifty men that 1 think
know where to get"
Lew Gordon looked as if he would
explode. you're naming the most
vicious outlaws on the plains" he
said. eff you ever get those men
together, it will be the most Internal
wild bunch that ever"
"By God" said Bill Roper. "I'll
show you how to clean a range or
break a range; I'm telling you
don't care which"
Lew Gordon slapped his hand on
the table; it fell with a dull and
heavy wallop, but so hard it
seemed the top of the table would
split.
mo! No, by God! Not under my
brand. Not in hundred years :"
"Thcn draw up the terms of the
sale"
Gordon was silent again. for
long time. He seemed very old.
very tired. Reckon you're man
enough to make your own decisions,
Bill"
Thanks, Lew"
But do me one last favor-will
you? Don't decide here and now.
Take a couple OF days to think it
over. It's for your oWn good. But

Bill Roper dropped his eyes, and
for a moment or two he hcsitatcd.
I'll take an hour, he decided in

tings of hay are on the whole a week

some counties rains have interfered
considerably with haying and some
damage has occurred to cut hay. Fruit
prospects continue good Lake coun-
ty reports a large crop of strawber-

Range and livestock conditions are
quite favorable. Shearing has been
delayed by rains and as a result will,
in some cases, run over into July
Farm labor needs are showing
seasonal rise, with the beginning of
haying which finds supplies in some
cases rather short, especially for
skilled hands.

operating under trade names for the

corning numerous prize contests. The
findings further recite that when one
of these companies would be cited to
appear before the Federal Trade Com
mission the respondents in some cases
would enter into a stipulation with the
commission to cease the practices be-

effort to comply with the stipulation

action. The division stressed the fact
that congress, in granting renewal OF
the Guffey law a short time ago, re-
fused the plea of cooperatiyes that
the act be amended to recognize them.
The division did not reveal that its
officials went before the senate COM
mittee and pleaded against amendment
of the act at that time only because OF
the urgency of the legislation. They
not only pleaded in open session, they
had their friendly lobbyists among the
coal producers tramping congressional
halls day after day to get immediate
action and prevent any amendments.
At that time they did not present a
