 For the third successive year Glenn Miller's band has been awarded first place in the annual Billboard poll-this time with a greater aggregate of points than has ever been amassed by any band in any nationally conducted popu- larity poll. Miller's unparalleled success in theaters, hotels, baii- rooms and on location" dates make him the most sought-after band leader in the history of band book ings.
 Miller's recordings have been phenomenal. The band has smashed through consistently, first with Tn the Mood" and Tuxedo Junction" {" then with Anvil Chorus" and final ly with the top record of them all, Chattanooga Choo- Choo." Of this latter record more than a million and a half copies were made; a number exceeding by one-haf mill lion the largest total number of copies previously sold by any one record. The Victor company pre- sented Glenn with a gold platter of the 1,200,000th recording of this great hit.

 The colts were frolicking in the woods pasture. The cornlands were brown-green and the blobs of color were alfalfa. The long sweep of the river, buttressed by limestone cliffs, with the sunrise sparkling on the water, was like a sequence in a technicolor pro- duction. Strickland Ballard liked to spend his money for such eff fects.
 "Top of the morning." called a cheerful contralto voice from the bottom step as Hunter came around the corner of the office.
 "Hullo, Red" Hunter said, eye ing her with disapproval. Bella Ballard wore bright peasant dress, a milkmaid's dress. If she had ever mixed a COW he had not seen her. But fore her fathers registered herds she might have supposed milk grew in bottles and was plucked from trees. Her gay parody on a working girls costume somehow outraged the young manager. She was just a little too lovely, her lips were just a bit to kissable. She hadn't any right to be so damned attractive. It would have been different if she still followed him around as she did as a teen-kid Now she was grown up. She would be married at Christmas to Oliver Tisdale
 The Tisdale half-millions came out of the Ballard interests. Josiah Tisdale had put his last
