about half a mile wide, between
the river and the northern hills and

said disgustedly. well, Pedro,

it, although I will admit it raises a

shrubs than one will find out on

He smiled his kindly, gentle smile.
"You do not understand, Dona Ma

there would not be such a splendid
growth on it! Any kind of growth
on poor land is scrubby but this
growth, although worthless, is mag
nificently worthless. If cleared this

although one can secure water at

with a gasoline engine it would irri-
gate many valuable crops"

THE STORY THUS FAR: Mary Suth.
erIand, an Eastern girl, is lured to Ari-
zona by the advertisements of the Wagon
Wheel dude ranch, operated by Ma and
Pa Burdan. She is met at the station by
Len Henley. While at Phoenix Len enters
the rodeo, drawing the bronc Mad Hat

that his father, Ham, disapproves. She
wagers one thousand to three thousand
that Len will ride the horse. He does,
but is injured. Mary now buys the Bur-
dan equity in Wagon Wheel, outbidding
Ham. Ham, feeling the ranch Is his,
offers it to his son. Learning that Mary
does not have the money to pay for the
notes he owns, he threatens immediate
foreclosure.

One-F Fourth Lost

We have been losing rs per cent of
our 19-year-old draftees for physi-
cal reasons, while Germany, Nor
way, Sweden and other European
countries have lost only 7 to 9 per
cent To have $4,000 of every 100, 600
l8-year-olds unfit for military serv-
ice is a rough Indictment on the
way we have handled this part of
the job.
Football, with more than seven
months leeway, has better break
than baseball has. But seven months
may not be long enough. Racing,
which was planning to open new
season from California to Florida,
via New Orleans, takes the hardest
jolt. Racings losses will run far be-
yond the combined losses of foot
ball, baseball and all other banned
or stifed sports put together.
Yet, there will be plenty of sport
in 1945, but it won't be big-time,
big-mOney sport. In an all-Out, 100
per cent war, there can be no dis
elimination of any sort.
We have already found out we
can't win with go per cent effort
against Germany and Japan. The
public at large, including every
form of sport, should get back of
this 100 per cent effort with 100 per
cent support until the war is won.
You can see how man with one

''Then what happened?"
''The money he planned to spend
to clear this land was then invested
| in gold mine. 1t is still there.
But he did clear one hundred and
sixty acres along the river. Forty
acres he farmed for hay, forty acres
he sowed to grass for horse pasture
and forty acres he planted to pecan
trees and grapefruit. On this cleared
land which he thus gave value, the
bank made the loan, but took in the
uncleared land for additional securi-
ty. Then a bad frost killed the
grapefruit trees-which was all right
because Senor Burdan knew moth
ing about grapefruit culture any,
how-and it developed he had plant
ed the wrong kind of pecans. There
has never been a crop worth har-
veSting."
Mary laughed inwardly. Poor Pa,
born to futility. Pedro went on.
''This mesa land is very rich in vol
canic ash; it is alluvial, the result
of erosion from the hills, and it is
not deep enough for alfalfa but any
crop that grows in Arizona will grow
abundantly here. Don Leonardo al
ways knew that one day the Bur-
dams would lose the Wagon Wheel
and it was his hope that when that
happened he would have enough cap
ital to buy it and work it out of
debt. Alas, when the opportunity
arose he was in hospital, unable to
take advantage of it."
Mary had feeling that Pedro was
trying to interest her in Lens dream,
so, because it had been Lens dream,
she became interested. what would
Don Leonardo have planted here"
she asked eff fate had willed that
he should own this ranch?"

as three per cent, it is perennial,

For HotU Long?

How long will this last? Until the
war in Europe is won. How long will
that be? Your guess probably is as
good as that of any commanding
general. Many of the latter haven't
set any records at guessing cor
rectly so far.
We have had enough-too much
hopeful wishing to keep on making
the same mistake. OF course, the
pro football and pro baseball play
ers still participating in their sports
are only minute part of IL 1000, 900
or 10000 900 men in the armed serv-
ices.
1t isn't any one sport alone. 1t is
the massed front of SO many sports
that use up gasoline, men needed
for war work, travel accOmmOda-
tiOns, and so forth. And it isn't easy
to discriminate.
Along the narrow path of sane
reasoning, there seems little
chance that the war in Europe will
be ended by early summer, with the
war against Japan closing at a
much later date. This will make
it difficult for any pro baseball
league to open in April or May. 1t
will be rough undertaking to make
up leagues composed of those under
Is and those older than Sc or 38.
At this time high school sport
should be encouraged in place of
being cut down. The toughest part of
the German army today is com

ball players who will be reclassified.
And there is strong chance that
those who are passed up for active
war duty will be called to some
essential form of war help, apart
from sport.
But there will still be football and
other forms of competition at West
Point and Annapolis and in all
schools housing Navy Viz trainees.
Also, there will be some sport left
at those colleges which can muster
enough 17-year-olds to carry on, but
this leaves a scant margin. In the
main these 17-year-olds have been
only fillers-in, turning in good jobs
just the same.
The main blow will fall upon all
professional sport, the play-pay
contingent. This will be especially
true if those who are still declared
unfit for war duty are sent into some
form of war work.
Just how this will affect profess
sional boxing and amateur basket
ball remains to be seen. The rough
er blast will hit professional base
ball before it reaches pro football,
as the latter still has an interval of
seven or eight months before an
other season starts. But the base
