State Liquor Board
To ShOlU Ton Profit

Profits of the Montana liquor con-
troll board this year will be the greatest
in its history, Chairman A. E. Nc
Partridge of Billings predicted.
Profits during 1941 of approximately
$4,000, 600 were the highest previously
realized by the board.
During the first 10 months of 1912
however, profits have totaled about
$3,000,0 900 with two months sales-in-
Guiding the Christmas and New Years
holiday business-still to come.
McFatridge said prof S had
mounted despite a noticeable down.
ward trend in consumption of liquors
in Montana this year.
He predicted that profit total this
year would mount to about $3.50, 1000.
Gross sales by state liquor stores
have been little higher this year
than last, principally due to higher
prices which followed in the wake of
mounting taxes .McFatridge reported

"Where is he? In his Officer"

Dick Wayne drew deep breath,
and the air of the hall was so clam
my upon his lungs it was as if he had
breathed in the outer rain.
"All right
Once more he went striding
through the house, the broad old
fioorboards speaking under his
tread, and the tabes of the japanese
girl pattering behind him.
There was line of light under the
door of James Wayne's office; but
as he reached for the latch the Jap

the wall, fearful lest she accidental

Dick Wayne himself hesitated. He
knew what was within.
James Wayne still sat in the chair
behind his vast desk, in the same
place he had sat during so much of
twenty hard driving years. But now
his head was forward upon the desk,
and by the slack emptiness of his
uncle's hands Dick knew that this
was the end.
All over the floor were scattered
the ginger blossoms of a broken lei.
When Dick Wayne had made GER
tain that his uncle was dead, he
picked up the scattered ginger bios

threw them out into the night.
A raw wind swirled in, laying a
wet sparkle on Dic.'s chest, but he
left the easements open. He wanted
to get the smell of ginger flowers
out of the room. That spicy, pun
gent fragrance belonged to youth,
and life, and love; it did not belong
here where an old man was dead

now probably lost. Already he knew
that he would never smell ginger
flowers again without recalling the
stern, heavy shock of his first knowl-
edge that James Wayne was dead.
He went to the door. The Japa-
nese girl looked smaller than ever,
standing there with her back pressed
tight against the koa-wood wall, as
if trying to hide herself from things
unseen. "Send the Missey here"
he said.
"Missey Lilua?"

feed supplies in the Food Will

ing adapted hybrids recommend
ed by their county agricultural
agent according to DR.. D. F.
Beard, Ohio State University Ex-
tension specialist.
As an example, DR.. Beard points
out that under identical soil and
climatic conditions and with the
same cultural treatments, hybrid
u. S. 13 produced 94.4 bushels
of corn per acre as compared with
75.4 bushels for the highest yield
ing open-pollinated variety.
This $3.50 increase for u. S. IS
was the average of Al official corn
performance tests for southern
Ohio for three years, 1888. 1889
and 1910.
Big Increase In 1910
The greatest percentage in
crease for u. S. Is was in 1910
when it out-yielded the best OPEN
pollinated varieties by 40%," DR..
Beard says. I'm this same year,
there were seven new Ohio Exper-
mental hybrids in official tests
that out-yielded the best open
pollinated varieties by even more
than this"
These new Ohio hybrids include
one as late as u. S. 13 and others
as early as Iowa 939. Several of
these will be added to the list of
Ohio Certified hybrids in 1912.
DR.. Beard states further that
seed of high-yielding hybrids
adapted to every part of Ohio is
now available. Enough seed was
produced in Ohio this past year to
plant more than 90eo of the total
1912 corn acreage of the state with
adapted hybrids recommended by
the Experiment Station.

up and put it in his pocket. Then
he went and stood at the window,
looking out into blackness, unnind-
full of the cold spit of the rain. It
seemed to him a long time before
Karen came.
AS he turned and faced her he saw
instantly that the night had changed
Karen. Her keen, bright sophisti-
cation, her unassailable poise, her
effect of being able to take care of
herself unassisted all that was
gone now. There was no blood in
her face, and her eyes were fright
ened. The indescribable, elusive sug-
gestion of some mysterious and hid
den promise, which had first attract
ed him to her, was not visible now.
What was left of the Karen Water
son he had seen before was simply
her slender-boned, beautifully made
frame, her clear and delicately cut
features. This person standing in
the doorway of James Wayne's room
was no more than frightened girl.
Isis something wrong?" Her
words were faltering. HAS any,
thing happened?"
Dick Wayne stared, astonished.
Deep in his pocket his fingers were
still rolling between them the petals
of that last ginger flower; but Kar-
ems eyes were uncommunicative
and he saw that she did not SO much
as glance at the floor to make sure
that the flowers were gone. Sud-
denly a terrible pity for this girl
got the better of him and he shut
his jaws.
"Dick," Karen cried out, "what
is it,"
He was unable then, plying her as
he did, to tell her that he knew she
already had the answer to that.
Games Wayne is dead" he an
swered.
"This-this is terrible thing"
Perhaps not"
what do you mean?"
Dicks voice was hard and bitter.
''If you are going to take this island.
perhaps it is better that you take it
from me and from my brothers

not from the man who made IT what
it is"
Karen Waterson stood staring at
him blankly. Until now it had
seemed to Dick Wayne that MOTH
ing he had ever said to her had
reached her completely in its full
meaning; but now he knew that he
had hurt her as definitely as if he
had struck her across the face. The
silence that followed had a strange
hopeless quality about it, empty.
yet singularly acute. Dick was glad
that Charles Wong now appeared,
moving quickly into the room.
Charles Wong went straight to the
desk, but his eyes were questioning
on Dicks face.
