This Wolf Business
BY OCTAVUS ROY COHEN
Illustrated BY William Rose

For nice young lady, supposed to be terrified OF
wolves she offered very little resistance And he was
doing such thorough job that, at first, he scarcely
heard the gruf voice which came from out the night
The voice said Hey you For the last time I'm
telling you - break it upr'
Jeff lifted his lips just fraction of an inch. He said
blankly, Break what up?'
The clinch. Leave go of the babe. And scram outa
there: both of you"
Jeff didn't get it. He was doing spins in the
tional stratosphere. But Doris seemed more aware
of the facts of life. She sad Maybe you'd better,
darling. He has gum.
"Gun?' repeated jeff Then he grabbed her arm.
"You called me darling!
The harsh voice broke in: That amt half what
you're gonna be called if you don't spill outa that car
They got out The stranger kept his gun pointed at
them while he made that the ignition key was
still in the lock- He said "Im high-tailin' it. You
got the world to yourself Take it from there Romeo
Jeff got good look at the man. Definitely rough
character. The sort you don't argue with unless
you've got lot of disaster insurance. Something
clicked in Jefs BRAIN He realized they less than
five miles from the State Prison farm. He'd heard
about an escape man with purple record. So this
it, eh? Lovers held up by desperate criminal.
Not so good. And still less good when the hard
looking gent stepped the starter and drove off.
Jeff took stock of the situation. He nine miles
from town, and on this lttle-frequented road there
virtually traffic. He looked at the lovely crea
ture beside him and sad Il got you into awful
mess, didn't ~"

were in position to utter protests. In addition to
which, she loved it.
Eventually he released her. She pulled away not
too far = and said in faint voice. You're wolff"
jeff started to protest, but something stopped him.
1t wasn't shame anything like that 1t pleasure
tnctured with pride Never before in humdrum life
had he been accused of being wolf Until this start
ling, ecstatic moment he had been regarded in the
community reliable young man with convention
ally predictable impulses.
She gazed at him through such portions of moon
light filtered through the windows and said,
"You aren't you?'
He GAVE the query quick going over. I'm afraid

infinitely better than admission that his ardent
embrace had been intended as the preliminary to a
proposal of marriage.
She said, How could you bring me out here in the

She looked so helpless and pretty that he decided
even confirmed wolf wouldn't press the point too
far. Actually, he was timid young man. He'd been
twice as surprised Doris when he discovered him
self kissing her. But the experience had been very
pleasant so he decided to be surprised again.

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS-
DISAGREE

The orderly processes that con-
stitute Government have not been
operating very we'll of late. Most of
the Congress. and most of the peO-
pie throughout the land, have not
been able to find anything to shout
about in the Presidents faCt-tind-
ing plans.
The Senate stalled on the prOpOS
al to create Il permanent Fair En-
plOyment Practices Commission,
especially when weighted down
with unSolvable racial disputes.
But the President really stubbed
his toe when he insisted that the
"cOmpany's books and records must
be open" to boards and commits
sions trying to fix prices of manu-
factured machinery. Also, the
President was not convincing III his
appeals for a full employment bill
and increased employment conf
pensatiOn benefits above those
granted by the States.
Congress is rather skeptica'
about most of the proposals from
the White House regarding labor
legislation. because the Go seem-
to have the inside track.
Senators and Representatives
have been conservative in theil
discussions but the majorities OPP
pose continuing schemes that leat
UP to strikes.

FARM TOOLS NEED RIGHT
CARE IN WINTER

1T is important that farm ma
chinery and equipment be properly
stored and repaired during the win
ter months.
In order to do efficient work ma
rhinery must be in good condition
md painting and housing are i'm
pOrtant factors in the upkeep of
all farm tools and equipment.
Tools and machinery should be
! housed even though they are to be
| idle for only short periods and
painting provides additional pro-
lection. The new rust preyentives
or old motor oil or grease will
protect unpainted surfaces. It's a
good idea to check over tools and
! equipment in storage to see that
they are protected from the wea-
ther and to make sure they weren't
: put away hurriedly dirty. or with
chaff or fertilizer left in them.
Since new farm machinery com
/ ing on the market at a slow rate
1t is dOubly important to keep
equipment in good state of repair.
If the national picture should
change Immediately it would still
, take three to four months before
equipment could be in the hands
OF the local dealer Most of the
equipment on farms now will prob
ably have to serve another year at
least before replacement is poss-
lble. 1t therefore becomes mighty
important that the old machines
are again carefully checked for
necessary requirements and re-
pairs. that they are adjusted ac-
cordinS to the manufacturerers in
structions. that they are cleaned.
creased and oiled ready to 90 when
needed.
II machinery is organized in stor-
age, 1t is easy to go to the ma
