for dinner a radio was going Some- where. Perhaps 1t was in the butler private domain: Hunter listened, his attention caught by the theme song
 Of the Ballard Remedies. The Me- Dcugal twins were singing their cowboy and hillbilly numbers. They had beautiful if unimportant voices just right for plugging medicines to rural audiences.
 And now, friends" the an- nouncer said, a voice that was bubbling over with neighborli- ness and good health, i've of the Ballard Ballads have a most un- usual offer to make you folks out there. While we are waiting for the charming twins to select their next song for you. allow me to tell you what a wonderful opportunity our sponsor. Strickland Ballard, is making available to you. As you know. MT. Ballard is a country raised boy himself. He will tell you he has never taken his feet of the land. He maintains a prac- tical farm some miles from Mid- dleton. There he farms day by day just as you people work your land and crops and listen to the hens cackle. and milk the COWS in the dawn, and all. Well, Mir. Bal lard has been working many years on strain of prolific corn which will make a high yield on high land and low land alike. At last, after painstaking research, seed selection, and strain fixing, he has the Ballard Prolific Corn ready for you. But he will not sell you one grain of this corn which makes an average of five ears to the stalk, no, sir. You could not buy seed at any price. But MT. Ballard is going to give you a generous bag for planting for yourself. with full directions.
 Simply go to your drug store tomorrow and say, Give me 60-eent bottle or box Of tabs let, of Ballard's Bttters for your sour stomach Send us the top of carton, and within a short time SNA "NA ANNNAfG sQhk SIHHk0Ah sample of Ballard's Prolific Corn. Could anything be more generous than that?"
 Hunter Dent swore. Already StFick Ballard was caghing in on Hunters life work.
 Tn the early afternoon Hunter teIephoned the hospital to lind out how Junior Ballard was. The voice reported there was no news yet. He went about his duties but his mind was not on his work. It was toward the middle Of the afternoon when he had glimpse of a car down in the big wood next to the river. His impression was the car was inside the stone gate there. His first thought was. naturally about Jun- iors wrecked ear. His next was an instinct to keep out intFuders, for Strickland Ballard was death on iFespasseFs! He dipped down. 90 ~

 T II sec" The sheriff stroked his chin. He'd shaved since noon. There were many pink veins in his almost childlike cheeks. The way he kept saying T see" got on Hunters nerves, but he continued to smile, Good thing" he thought" Junior and I got a new set of car tires at the same time before rationing started" The officers crossed the stone fence and drove around. Hunter nodded for Red to follow, and walked quickly back, cutting through to beat the car. He got the girl past the place where the car had gone into the brush. More and more he felt the absolute necessity of pro- tecting Junior, and saving the girl. At the garage Hunter backed his car out. Anderson and Doolittle checked the tread. The sheriff did something Hunter did not like. He took a small camera and made photographs of the tires. Hunter noted there was no dirt in the tread at all!

SHERIFF STEPS IN
CHAPTER V

Utterly stunned at the disappear lrlce of the money from the safe, Hunter Dent dropped on the day bed and raked his fingers through his hair. If many more ineXplicable things happened around here there would be nothing left for him to do but count his fingers and talk to himself. He rose and went unstead- fly back to the open safe door. He could have spared himself the move ment. The bag and money were gone,
 Yet me see," he muttered, re- viewing events. He had gone out at dawn and looked after the col- Ored boys at their feeding and milking, The safe, he would have sworn, was locked; but he remem- bered not locking the office door. When he came back at sunrise Red was waiting below at the foot Of the outside stairway. There he had kissed her, The OfIice was Still unlocked while the doctor ex- amlned Junior Ballard. But Hunter he'd locked the door just before tak- ing the boy to the hospital at AEld- dlet0n, That would mean" he con. eluGed, "that the one who entered here did t probably just before dawn, perhaps within five minutes after [ went to the barns"
 We took out his wallet, drew forth a small card. Tine card con. tained in code the combination to the safe. There was but this one card.

Six-Year-0|d Cotton Case
Reopens in District Court

Justice F. Dickinson Let's in Dis
trict Court today began hearing q
six-year- -old test suit in which
Southern cotton planters are seeking
to recover money they paid into the
National Cotton Tax Pool under the
old Bankhead Cotton Act.
The suit. brought in District Court
in 1886, originally was dismissed on
motion. This ruling was reversed
by the United States Court of APP
peals in 1887.
The four plaintiffs and the
amounts they seek to recover are
]. Wood Thompson, 1888: A. W.
Fisher, $6,747; S. j. Ward, $248, and
D. S. Hopson, 1926. Thompson and
Fisher are from Leland, Miss, and
Hopson and Ward from Wetumpa,
Ala. -...... -..-t.
Government attorneys said that
the suit is test case under which
100000 cotton planters are seeking
to recover total Of 3,50O,0O0.
The money was paid by planters
for certificates that were sold to
those who wished to plant cotton
in excess of their allotment under
the Bankhead Act.
Defendants in the case are Vice
President Wallace, who was Secre-
tary of Agriculture at that time;
Ernest L. Deal, manager Of the pool:
w. A. Julian, treasurer Of the United
States; John B. Payne. controllep,
and Chester c. Davis, administrator

Supreme Court 10 Hear
Terminal Suit Rearqued
By the Associated Press.

oS tnS AooVCIAtSu FIebs.
The Supreme Court today ordered
reargument Of litaigation to de-
termine whether District OF Colum-
bia courts acted correctly in dis
missing suit filed by the Wash
ington Terminal Co.. seeking q
judgment as to whether it should
pay yard enginemen and .nremep
$4,000 a year to move empty pas-
senger trains between Union Sta
ton and the storage yard.
The case was argued last week.
The reason for the reargument was
not announced.
Dismissal of the suit was ordered
by the Federal District Court and
by the Court Of Appeals here on the
ground that the National Railroad
Adjustment Board had decided in
favor of the employees on October
"a, 1888, and the latter were
granted two years from that date
by the Railway Labor Act to petit
ton q Federal court for enforce
ment Of the award.
The terminal company filed its
suit on December 40, 1898. This ac-
ton was called premature by the
Court of Appeals.
Passenger trains are moved by
the crews of the railroads using the
station, the terminal company said.
It added that it had refused to
comply with the 1888 award because
1t believed the award was erroneous.

Hunter Files McCarran Bill
On D. {. Tax Exemptions

Representative John F. Hunter of

A provision in the McCarran bill
provides that when such institu-

Ramspeck 10 Press Action
On 90.Day Leave Bill

Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee and Demo-
cratic whip indicated in the House
today that early action will be
sought on the bill which allows
Government employees to accumulate
leave up to 80 days.
Representative Rich, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, who was defeated
for reelection, protested against any
unanimous consent to give what he
termed a 90-day vacation to Gov
ernment workers. In reply. Mr.
Ramspeck said the leave bill is a
Senate bill that has already passed
the Senate and been favorably re-
ported by the House Committee All
it does is to permit the accumulation
of the additional 30 days of leave
the purpose of which is to let the
employees forego their vacations dur
ing the war emergency. 1t is urg-
emily requested by the War De.
partment and other agencies In the
war.
Mr.. Rich misunderstands the
purpose of that bill entirely. 1t does
not give the workers any more
leave. The purpose is solely for the
Governments benefit to have the
workers accumulate leave during the
emergency and give 1t to them
later"

|Whisky-Drinking
By JuryHeId No
Cause. for Appeal
y the Associated Press.

Norman Baker of Eureka Springs,
Ark, serving q four-year sentence
in the Federal penitentiary at Leav-
enWorth. kans.. failed today to OBJ
tain Supreme Court review of his
contention that he had been denied
a fair trial because members of the
jury were allowed to consume
whisky. =;
He sought a review of a decision
by the 10th Federal Circuit Court
which denied him a writ of habeas
corpus. He was convicted in the
Federal District Court at Little Rock
on charge of using the mail to re-
fraud in connection with alleged
claims for the cure of cancer.
Baker contended that "at least IL
quarts of whisky were consumed by
the jury during the two-week trial"
while it was kept segregated in q
Little Rock hotel. He also said two
women deputies had drunk and
played poker with the jurors.
"The liquor" the Justice Depart
ment said in opposing a Supreme
Court review, was used in the eve
ming, at the hotel, but never in ex-
cessive amounts, and in some cases
incidentally, with fruit juice, for
colds and 'flu.' None was taken
during the day, and there is no evi-
dence suggesting that any Juror was
at any time even slightly intoxi-
Gated"

Taxes Paid in New York
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1e.-Frederick
8. Buck, director of pari-mutuel
revenue for the New York State
tax department, said today that in
cluding Saturdays take, the State
had collected $40. .896 during 1s42
from pari-mutuel revenue, exceeding
the l0-million- dollar figure predicted
by State Senator John j. Dunnigan,
who introduced the bill providing
for pari-mutuel betting in 1889.
Prior to passage of the new bill,
the State received only $6l7 900 from
race track bookmakers.
Mr.. Buck said that 10000 in
revenue from uncollected pari-
mutuel tickets, which was turned
over to the State in April, was not
included In his total, He said this,
plus revenue still incoming, would
probably push the total for the year
well above ten and one half millions.
In addition, New York race tracks
have raised $75o,0o0 for war relief
agencies during the year.

raguan campaign. During the World
War he was assigned to the U. S.
S. New Orleans which was on convoy
duty.
Came to White House in 1888.
After serving in the Bureau OF
Navigation from 1918 to 1920 he was
on the battleship Idaho for three
years and later was on the Colorado
and the Mississippi. He also served
as aide on the staff of the COM
mander of battleship division of the
battle force: of the commander of
the battle force and of the COM
mander in chief of the United States
fleet.
From 1888 until 1886 he was ex-
ecutive officer Of the naval ROTC
unit at the University of California.
He came to the White House in
1898 and assumed the position which
won him thousands of friends
throughout the country, due to his
smiling appearance and courteous
demeanor when in company of
President Roosevelt. He next served
as chief to the commander of United
States naval forces in the South
Pacific
Incidents and anecdotes regard
ing his career as White House aide
are numerous in Washington He
was regarded not only as an officer
who made the best possible appear
ance in formal company, but who on
the other hand could command a
hardened gun crew to excellent
craftsmanship.
Promoted to Admiral Last June.
Admiral Callaghan, then a cap
tain, met President Roosevelt during
the ]atter's fleet inspection tour in
1898. and the Chief Executive, struck
by his abilities, named the officer his
personal aide
Around the Executive Office and
among his friends, Admiral Callag-
han was familiarly known as Dan"
and he was regarded by many, in
Guiding President Roosevelt, as an
able and outstanding officer.
The President signed the order
transferring him to sea duty as COM
mander of the cruiser San Fran
cisco on St. Patrick's Day, March II,
1941, and as special concession to an
officer bearing the name Callaghan
used green ink. On June Is, 1912,

0PA Sees No Current Need
For Used-C Rationino
BY the Aasociated Press.

By the Associated Press.
While refusing to make a long
range commitment, the Once Of
Price Administration said today it
did not intend to ration used auto
mobiles at the present time.
Paul M. OLeary, deputy OPA ad-
ministrator in charge of rationing
said the statement was made in re-
sponse to any inquiries as to the pos
sibility of used-car rationing.
"Rumors that we are at the point
Of putting q used-car rationing pro-
gram into effect are false" Mr..
OLeary said.
Naturally we have studied the
subject, but our preliminary con-
clusions are that most of the used
cars being sold are already going to
persons who would be eligible to buy
them under any rationing program
we might devise"
Mr.. OLeary estimated the present
stock of used cars in the country
at about 800, 900, which he called ad-
equate for present needs. II q sup
ply continues to be available for es-
sential workers at fair prices, Mr.
OLeary added, there would be no
necessity for used-car rationing.

ney John T. Gearty, Mr.. McCurdy
married Ida Legray at Rockford,
ILL.,, in 1882, and she now lives in
Mr.. Gearty said the marriage to
Miss Legray was OF no legal stand
ing" because the first Mrs. Nc
Curdy was still living and her death
in 1888 left Mr.. McCurdy a free
man, so "in marrying Miss Cantonia
in 194l, he committed no crime and
cannot be charged with bigamy." He
said Miss Legray was the only ag-
grieved party and she already has

The court agreed and threw out
the bigamy charge leaving Miss Cam
