FARMER HELPED
BY WHEAT PRICE

Montana farmers viii receive 80
cents a bushel greater income on their
1871 wheat production than they re-
ceived for their 1910 crop, according
to the office of Senator James E
Murray Of Montana.
white House has Just advised me
that President Roosevelt has approved
the new wheat loan bill rates. This
makes the loan rate on No. dark
northern spring wheat $115 and the
loan rate on No. dark winter wheat
$110. This means about so cents high
er value on wheat produced in Mon
tana this year and result viii be a
vastly larger income for Montana
farmers. Farmers return on wheat
should equal or exceed parity"

A London Air Raid
Helps An r. A. F.
FLyer Erase q Grim
Past.
IN TWO PARTs-PART ONE

IN TWO PARTS-PART ONE
In the grim, unnatural stiffness Of
War-torn London at night, there came
a sound like a faraway clap Of thunder.
Booml
The sort of sound which, even In
a quiet street like Peters Place, would
not have been noticed even six months
ago. But Jock Benson knew what it
was, and he had hardly time to regis
ter the knowledge before there came
the deafening sounds Of the barrage,
and of anti-aircraft guns.
He had been just starting out to
get some supper; but though it was
nice to be In "civvies" once more, his
royal air force uniform was twice as
warm. So as he had the best of rea-
sons for wanting to keep in good shape,
for he was going to be married to-
morrow morning, he told himself he
must go right up to the top Of the
house and get himself warm coat.
And then, as he turned away from
the front door of GarTick House, the
high gaunt building of which the fifth
floor formed his apartment, he heard
the frightened voice of old Mrs. Bow
Ter, the caretaker, addressing her hus-
band: There now, you've made us
late againl" she shouted.
A flash from the sky lit up the
wrtnkled faces of the old couple, and
Bowler groWled out, why you did
give me a start, sirI We've got so
used to having nobody in this here
place that it seems queer to have you
back again"
Jock heard himself yell good
naturedly, II wouldn't go out tonight,
II I were you, Mrs. Bowler. You might
be caught by a nasty bit Of shrapnel.
You can take it from me that you
won't find a better shelter than your
coy kitchen down below. Apart from
anything else, it would take pretty
big bomb-not the sort they waste on
you and me-to bring down Garrick
Housed"
The pitch darkness had come back,
and in that darkness the happy young
man smiled down into the unseen faces
of the couple he had now known for
four years.
That's what say, sir. But she's
that obstinate, dragging me off every
night to that filthy, smelly place
I'm not preventing you staying here
and being bombed, If that's your fan
cy," said Mrs. Bowler tartly.
aren't you? Who was it said last
night I wanted to be a murderer just
like Hitler, and that she wouldn't go
to the Tube If I didn't come too?"
81 don't believe Hitler's going to
do In many good folk tonight" and

Oh, how I loathe London in this awful
blackoutI"
He opened his mouth, but no words
would come. He felt as If he had been
poleaxed.
She began again-this time In q
whining voice: "You might say you're
glad to see me? It's Just as II I'd
come back from the dead, isn't 1t?
Only five Of us were saved from that
hoodoo ship. They were all crabby
about my dancing on shore, and I'd
only too many men to play around
with. But the nasty governor forced
us to go away at last, and I'd an
awful time getting home"
Unhappy Jock Bensonl He found
his mind was working, now, with ex-
IRENE lucidity. 1t told him that there
was only one thing he could do Kitty
mustn't stay here tonight as had EVIL
IDENTIFY been her intention. After he
had given her some supper, he must
find a respectable hotel, and leave
her there. In time-he knew it would
take a long time-there would be q
divorce. She would torture him, as well
as blackmail him; but nothing mat
tered, so long as Elsie stuck to him.
That he knew Elsie would do. But he
faced the anguish, the dismay and yes
the shame, tomorrow would bring to
the girl he adored, and also he faced
the cold anger of the father who had
never liked him.
Then came a fretful, you're not a
very kind hubby-that I must say.
Are you going to let me stand here
all night2"
"Of course not. But I couldn't help
being surprised"
