The lights of the ranch house
starred the black hulk of the No
pocos as she drove into the Dou-
BILE R. More stars burst into the
darkness when she drew up be-
: fore the house. Rusty wondered
if she had stumbled onto some
celebration.
Decker appeared beside the car
to open the door,
|, "Where on earth have you
been? Jed said you took Babe to

I telephoned, he said you weren't
there nor had you been there"
''What?" demanded Rusty.

among the ranch girls. where he
called, I thought I'd better let
him know you'd been claimed. I
asked to speak to my fiancee,
told him who I was and that I
was calling from the Double R."
"Yes?" There were sparkles in
the blue-gray of Rusty's eyes.
"And he said that not only was
my fiancee not there, but she had
not been there, and then-then
he made that same remark you
did the other night, something
about mud in my eye. Naturally,

had another decent vet within
five hundred miles, I'll never call
him again"
Imagine condemning a man
for telling the TRUTH" murmured
Rusty and, gathering up her new
kitten, she started for the veran-
da.

end of the pen. There's big bust

When she returned to the house,
she went to the living room, to
be greeted by a pause in the mems

A BOOST FOR V-MAIL

Space on planes has become so restricted that use of al
air-mail stamp no longer guarantees that a letter to a soldier
overseas will go by air, the army postal service announces, anc
thereby gives a boost to more extensive use of V-mai. L
needs a boost, for its use has been tagging in recent months
although it is the only form of mail that always goes by plane
Soldiers complain that the space on the forms is too small
and the writing is so reduced in size that it is difficult to read
vet they use V-mail much more than the home front does
Despite the drawbacks, V-mail has the advantage of sure de-
livery, in addition to speed, since originals are preserved until
word comes back from the other side that the films have ar
rived safely. In cases where the film is lost or destroyed, a
new film is made and sent across.
Since one planeload of V-mail is equivalent to 49 plane
loads of ordinary mail, the services have good reason for urg-
ing wider use of this modern communication device.

GET EVERY ACRE
PLANTED!

Our Government has made another appeal for
more sugar beets!
Marvin Jones, War Food Administrator,
stated last week:
Farmers in sugar beet factory areas with
land adapted to sugar beet production should con-
slider planting sugar beets up to plant capacity.
Present indications are that the amount of sugar
available from Cuba will be somewhat less than
anticipated because of poor growing conditions.
This makes it all the more necessary that United
States farmers plant the full goal acreage"
Lieut.. Col. Ralph w. Olmstead, Director of
the Office of Supply, also stated in Washington
last week:
With respect to sugar it is expected that
1915 will be the most difficult year of the war.
There is a deficit of one million seven hundred
thousand tons, or fifteen per cent above supplies
available for consumption"
Farmers have done a splendid job of seed
bed preparation. The spring moisture and soil
condition at this time are definitely better than
last year, when the soil was so dry that most
of the crop did not terminate until after May Is
and then only after being irrigated for germina-
ton.
Let's plant every acre of beets that are now
contracted.
