CHAPTER Nv

Before we were an hour out on
the road snow began to fall.
BY the time we were up in the
hills we had drifts to buck. When
it was necessary for Lander to stop
and get busy with his shovel, I'd
give my Indian baby its needed at
tention and nest it down in its cocoon
of blanket-wool again, with only its
pinched little yellow face showing
like seals at the bottom of a blow
hole. Then we'd fight our way on
for another hundred yards or two.
So we ploughed on, feeling out
our way in the uncertain light.
Twice, when we slowed perilously
close to the ravine that yawned at
our car wheels, thought the end
had come. And twice, where the
trail wound so vaguely about the
upper slopes, we had to cut our
way through drifts, with the help Of
the shovel. We did very little talk
ing. But I could breathe more cas-
lily when we were over the hump
and dropping down into the next
valley.
Yet even there the drifts and
darkness were too much for us. We
got off the road and bumped head
on into a spruce stump. The old
truck, with indignation boiling from
its radiator cap, refused to go far
Their. ! could see Lander's grim
smile as ! sat there staring out at
the failing snow. There wasn't a
shack or settler, ! felt sure, within
ten miles OF us.
'sWhat'll we do?" I asked with a
gulp. - +
II suppose wen have to sleep
out here,' he casually announced.
II suppose So" 1 agreed. But
] wasn't as placid-minded about it
as / pretended. Lander, in fact,
stared into my face for a moment
or two before swinging down from
his drivers seat. Then he lighted
the primus stove and hung Ian
tern from one of the bows Of our
little covered-wagon truck-tent. And
then, after shutting out the snow and
wind by closing the end flaps of the
tarpaulin. he announced that he
was going to have a look ahead
along the trail.
He stayed away longer than I
expected. By the time he got back,
in fact, I'd melted snow and had
our coffee boiling on the prinus
stove. The smell of that coffee made
our little canvas-covered cave seem
rather homelike. And my cave mate
watched me with ruminative eye
as ! warmed milk and fed the quiz
city complaining Indian baby. When
our papoose was back in its blanket
muffied basket. and we sat eating,
with the primus stove between us,
it seemed oddly paleolithic to be
squatting there on bundle Of hay,
dining on bacon and beans and sour
dough bread.
Lander helped me pack things
away when the meal was over.

MORE PRODUCTION,
NOT MORE COST

WHEELER McMILLEN, editor of
Farm Journal, tells me that while
running a weekly newspaper at
Covington, Ind, he learned practical
economics was the application of
horse sense to a problem.
/ am not an economist, but it looks
to me that America is forcing inf1a-
ton by attempting to force prices
beyond their intrinsic value.
If we get two dollars instead Of
one, but must spend the two dollars
to buy what we formerly bought
with one, what have we gained?
It does not even take ''horse
sense" to realize it is much easier
to increase outgo than to increase
income.
American prosperity will be
measured by production Of things
people want, more than by charging
higher and still higher prices for the
things produced.
Forcing prices beyond a point that
represents intrinsic value creates a
demand for more and cheaper
money. More and cheaper money
represents the first steps in infia-
ton. Extreme initiation means in
dividual and national bankruptcy.
That is a bit of Wheeler McMil-
lens ''horse sense" economics.

JOY OF JOURNALISM

HON. GUY U. HARDY is editor
and publisher of the Canon City
(Colo.) Daily Record. He was NOM
mated for. and elected to congress
in 1918. It was my privilege to be
the first to advise him of his NOM
nation by Republican convention,
a nomination he did not seek and
did not want. He continued as an
influential member of congress for
IL years. Now he finds more pleas
ure in running his small city daily
than he found in Washington.

STRAY CATS TOO
HAVE THEIR DAY

IN THE HOOVER-ROOSEVE
campaign of 1882, Gov. Henry Allen
of Kansas headed the Republican
publicity department. At the opening
Of the campaign he was quoted as
saying, "the party would not seek,
did not need or want, the support of
the rural press"
Early in September of that year
that statement was being discussed
by a group OF. rural newspaper men
in "a Chicago hotel. Ollie Little of
the Alma (Kan.) Record expressed
the predicament in which rural Re-
publican editors found themselves.
Politically, we are bunch of
stray cats, with no place to hole in"
said Little.
Two days later that statement and
the reason for it was expressed to
President Hoover. He took imme-
diate steps to correct the situation
by directing Everett Saunders, the
national Republican chairman, to
communicate with all rural news
papers and seek their support.
In the recent campaign, the Re-
publicans created rural press Sec
ton, under the direction of Herman
Roe, editor of the Mortified (Minn.)
News. Serious consideration is now
being given to making the rural
press section a permanent feature
of the Republican committee organ
ization. The statement about "po-
litical stray cats" made by Ollie
Little back in 1882 started the recog-
milton Of the rural press as medium
which molds public opinion in Amer
lea.

BACK IN 1876, U. s. MONEY
ALSO WENT SOUTH-AMERICAN

N

BACK IN 1876, U. s. MONEY
ALSO WENT SOUTH-AMERICAN
THE UNITED STATES govern
ment, through the Import and Elk
port Bank, loaned the Brazilian gov
eminent fifty million dollars. With a
portion of that loan Brazil will pay
two American firms, using Afneri-
can materials, for rehabilitating and
electrifying part of the railways
of Brazil. In time the American
government will get its money back
through taxes paid by the contract
ing firms and those employed by
them in this country, and in other
ways. The system is all too COM
plicated for us ordinary mortals to
understand, but it is the process
through which creditor nations, of
which we are now the greatest, en-
courage foreign trade.
None of the American money put
into the attempt to build the first
railroad in South America ever
came back" explained j. P. Clark,
believed to be the only man now
living who participated in that ill
fated project.
To his cronies in the Adventures
Club of Chicago, he is known as
Dad Clark. The expedition, of
which he was member, left Phila-
delphia in 1876, bound for the head
waters of the Madeira river, to build
a railroad around the falls and rap
ids along the border between Brazil
and Bolivia. Of the GAL men in the
expedition, $50 died as victims of
jungle fever or the poisoned arrows
of Bolivian head-hunting Indians.
The project was bankrupt before the
road was completed. Another
American expedition finished the job
in 1912, with American capital. It
is a narrow gauge and its one train
makes one round trip over its 225
miles Of track each week.

Using executive, made trip over
the line, this past summer and

BY DONNA GRACE

T'HE occasional lack of fresf
fruits and leafy vegetables

we depend on citrus fruits
as a substitute. These golden
oranges, grapefruit and lemons
are so good for us and the best
and most delightful way OF
getting the important vitamin c.
There is cleansing quality
about these clean fruits that
tones up the whole system.
They are a natural cosmetic to
use both internally and ex-
ternally. Lemons have always
had an important place in beauty
treatments and we have learned
that all these fruits may be
used with benefit. Grapefruit.

 Bill Cowley, stellar center of the Boston Bruins, has clinched first place with two new records and a tic for another. Besides the new 80-point scoring record for the sea- sofl--i6 more than his closest rivals ---he has set 0 new mark for assists with 45. Cowley tied another record when he was credited with six points in Q game on December l, l940, on two goals and four assists.

 Coaches Galore
 Manager Officer, knowing that the duties of managing and playing in this all important contest would be too strenuous for him to carry on the coaching duties alone has signed up Bobby Blacker and Pen" McDonough as co-coaches. Since taking over their duties 1t has been reliably reported that both lads have aged 20 years after they got peek at the material that they were to instruct. Coaches Blacker and MacDonough refused to divulge their starting line-up at preses time but 1t is believed that Johnny Davis. second cousin of Joe Louis, will jump center with Officer and hand some Chris Hanley in the back court and Eddie Fitzgerald and Sergt. Burns at the fore court positions. As subs Coaches Blacker and Mac Donough have such stars as "Ace" Hamilton. Eddie Coughlin. Bill Weir, Charlie Roller and Mike Grout.
 Both managers have agreed upon Father Donnelly as the offlcial for the game because of the fact that the Holy Name officers refused to take any responsibility for any ac- cidents that might happen to the referee. Al Colgan has been se- lected as official scorer and Timmie Shea will hold the watch. Martin Green. uniform and all, will head the Gestapo in collecting tickets and maintaining order. Jackie and Jimmy 0rout will be Stretcher bearers with Tommie Sullivan lead- ing the cheering section.

 PLAYOFF GAME
Second Game Is Scheduled Friday; May Lose League
 Franchise on 'HiIl"

Faced with the loss of It's league franchise if 1t does not show up for scheduled action Friday night at the Washington Park Com- munity court, the Loew-Poli bas- keteers did not show up for Its first game with the Baldwin Props last night, as expected after publication of a letter from Manager James Bianco, published in both evening papers of yesterday.
 No admission was charged to last nights program which was pre- sented with a preliminary game. after which the Baldwin Props and the officials, Referee George Gra- ham and Umpire Frank O'Donnell, took the floor, Graham tossing up the ball for one play, as required by the rules of basketball, and then declaring the game forfeited to the Props, 20.
 Challenge Accepted
 Tn his letter of yesterday, Bianco, on behalf of the Loew-Poli team, cf ailenged the Props to game anywhere with Q neutral referee in charge, which was reportedly ac. cepted by Manager Sid Monti of the Props for a 2 of 3 game series at Washington Park with "any official they choose to bring up".
 President James G!adney of the Washington Park Community league stated that the game was forfeited when the Lts.w-Poli team did not put in an appearance, though all managers agreed at the start of the season that the same officials that worked in the league would work the playoff games.
 Ed Fitzpatrick, sponsor Of the Loew-Poli team, made the follow Ing statement today: "I have not taken any personal action in the affairs of the team this season, which Is why the manager, James handle all affairs concerning the Bianco, has been given authority to team as he thinks best. However, l will back him up In any decision he makes"

Three More Games on To. night in Intermediate
 Play

The Naugatuck zephyrs, Garnet Five and the St. Joseph Holy Name Juniors captured their first round games in the Naugatuck Valley In. termediatc tournament at the Boys Club gym last night. The Zephyrs defeated the Green Wave 38 to 20, the Garnet Five trimmed the Thomaston Bears 4i to 32 and the Holy Names prevailed over the Wa tertown Hillies B to 22.
 The Green Waves could have beaten their Naugatuck opponents If tho game was football and not basketb but with Dalton and Sal- vatoie taking turns at missing shots the Green Wave was blue last night and although the Zephyrs had to play the entire last half with four men when Hissone was lost on per- gonals the Waterbury quintet could not even get close to the Nauga- tuck players. Mahan and McDer- mott we1 e best for the winners but the entire lineup must be given credit for playing a smart game Dalton scored frequently for the 10. calls as they dropped the decision 38 to 26.
 Good Game
 With Mariana, Thurston and Swirski playing excellent ball, the Naugatuck Garnet Five made an early impression on their Thomas. ton rivals and although the Bears fought back at every turn they just could not overtake the Naugatl,ck quintet and lost out 4l to g. A big fellow by the name of Midtlebrook played & grand game for the losers but his efforts were for naught as far as remaining in the tourney were convened.
 In the final encounter the Water town Hillies threw up a stout zone defense and held the Holy Name quintet at bay for two quarters of the game and had 6 one point ad- vantage. Starting in the third Ses. sion. Poplis and Katz were busy under the HillieS basket and man. aged to gather in enough rebounds to draw away from the Watertown ladg and win the ball game 8 to 22.
