VICTORY BOND SELLING
CONTEST PERIOD EXTENDED

By William Pickens for AMP
The Victory Bond Selling con-
test, which was initiated by the
interracial section, war finance
division, treasury department, and
which has enlisted colored women
contestants over the entire coun-
try, and attracted the cooperative
interest of women of both races in
our victory loan setup, will run to
the end of the year,-until Dec. 81.
1t was originally planned to run un-
til Dec. Is, so that prizes could be
given as a sort of christmas"
present. But since all bonds sold
to the end of December will count
in the victory loan, it has been de-
cided to extend the contest period
also. The interracial section is
sending letter to the effect to all
the known contestants and the par
ClclpdtlHR OTSdulLdtlOIlS.
The two top prizes in this contest
are $500 E-series bonds, one for
the contestant reporting for her
self and her supporters the sale of
E bonds to the greatest number of
individuals, and another to the
contestant reporting sales that
amount to the greatest sum in cash
(maturity value of the bonds). In
addition to these national prizes,
there are State and organizational
prizes.
To make sure of a complete list
ing, it would be good for all par
ticipating organization heads to
send the names and addresses of
their contestants to the interracial
section, war finance division, at
once, unless that has already been
done. Each contestant might also
send her own name and address.
The colored people of the United
States are making a record in this
war and after-war emergency
which will stand by them in the
future. There is going to be saw

war loan and victory loan pro-

these matters. You will see your
adorable boy and believe me, you
are welcome despite these strange
circumstances hardly could say
less. He has been fighting to pro-
tect these same babies from the hell
that was Nazi Europe. His answer

I still love him-perhaps in pity
ing, sorrowful way do. Peter will
only say to me, we must do what
is right What, in your opinion, is
right?"
Poor Rosamond! This is a heart
breaking situation. To return to
Robert is more than can be expected
of poor human flesh and blood. She
might make the effort, but to be poor
again, Woodworking again, separat-
ed from her laughing baby, miss
ing Peter-there is daily, hourly
immolation that would call for su-
pernatural graces of an unusual
kind.
Roberts jealousy and moodiness
add one more difficult note to diff
ficult position. Robert is not apt to
give up his place generously, when
he sees Rosamond's happiness or
suspects it. He will not subside into
the amiable family friend, willing to
accept the overflow from the COM
pletely felicitous household.
So l only can recommend prayer
to Rosamond Gods ways are not
our ways. There are unexpected
twists and turns and changes in any
domestic crisis that can remove
from it all the bitterness and ram
cor. There is a certain mysterious
rightness and smoothness about the
curing of those ills that are taken
to God in prayer. That is the one
unfailing answer.

over him and smelled and licked
him and gave the deep, soft, grunt-
ing whinny by which a mare re-
assures her little one. The foal
struggled to its feet, staggered about
uncertainty, shook itself, then
hunted for the teat. Finding the bone
of the thigh, instead, it gave saw
age bite at it and kicked out in
anger.
Gosh! Look at it," exclaimed
Howard. "What a mean little
devil!"
Ken said nothing but watched anx-
iously. The foal found the teat at
last.
"You stay here, Howard, will
your" asked Ken. "I'll go down and
make her some mash. You might
give her some clean straw"
"I'u rub her down." offered How
ard generously, and as Ken left the
stable he got dry sack and rubbed
her streaming back and TANKS and
neck.
A half hour later the mare and
foal stood content and dry and COM
Portable with a deep bed of dry
straw under them and a pail of
mash for Flicka in the feed box.
"She's all right now" said How
ard, at the door of the barn. Come
on"
Ken pretended to be casual and
offhand. 81 want to wait till she's
finished her mash. You 60 on down.
I won't be long"
Howard still hesitated, cycling his
younger brother where the boy stood
leaning on the rail of the manger,
almost under the mares head.
"Well-I'u go ahead. I'm goin' to
make some hot cocoa-want some?"
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-07-27

THE STORY THUS FAR: In q cold
rainstorm, Flicka's colt, long overdue,
il born. Ken Mclaughlin, Flicka's L.
year-old owner, finds her at last In q
gully, Of which there are many on his
fathers big horse ranch In the Rockies.
Ken is astonished to see that the colt Is
white, and evidently a throwback to the
AIbino, a wild stallion that Is Flicka's
grandsire. He realizes that the mare
and her colt should be in the warm
stables. When he attempts to lead Flicka
she balks. Ken then tries to lift and
drag the foal, but the little animal
kicks and bites. Knowing then that he
must get help, Ken runs to the ranch.
house. There he finds only his brother
Howard at home.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-07-27

The foal lay like a sack Of meal
across Flicka's withers.
Howard was handy at making
chocolate and Tipping eggs and Civ
ing his mother hand with the cook
ing.
"Sure!" said Ken. "You bet!" But
he sat still on the manger rail,
watching his mare, and Howard
went out, closing the door behind
him.
Ken stood listening to Towards
retreating steps. He heard the rasp
of the corral gate being opened and
closed again. Now they were alone,
the mare, foal and himself. In the
stable was a sweet quietness and
the smell of hay and horses.
Ken sat on the manger rail close
to the feed box in which he had
placed the bucket of mash, and the
mare dipped her muzzle into it, ate
hungrily, then lifted her head and
chewed, looking at Ken, her long
ears pointed forward. She had
gentle golden-brown eyes with see
ing expression in them. Looking at
Ken, her intelligent face was not
foot from his. He Strengthened the
faxen forelock that hung between
her eyes, murmuring her name now
and then. She swung her head
around to look at the sleeping foal.
The lantern, hung on the corner
post, only half lit the stall.
Ken too looked at the foal. Now
that he had it safely in the stable,
the surprise and worry that he had
felt when he first saw it took pos
session of him again. What TODD
this was going to make! A white
foal out of Flicka! A white foal on
the Goose Bar ranch where every
one knew Banner, the big golden
sorrel stud that sired the yearly
crop of colts.
Ken's uneasineSS was linked to a
series of nearly disastrous events of
past years in which he and a GER
tain line of horses had been in
volved. This train of events led di-
rectly to the small white foal lying
there so innocently on the clean hay,
