XIV. unit on ranch in Montana.

The electrical capacity Of units,
such as that illustrated, varies from
II to 10 kilowatts. For example:
A typical unit will generate one kilo-
watt, with an eight-foot head of wa
ter, having a flow of 100 cubic feet
Of water per minute. AS the head
of water increases, the volume re-
quired decreases for the operation
of a generator of given capacity.
Thus, with head of Is feet, hydro
electric unit will generate one kilo-
watt with volume flow of only 68
cubic feet of water per minute. An
eight-foot head is all that is needed
for those generating from one-half
to five kilowatts.

THE riders, three men and girl
l. burst from Ladrino Canyon ike
bullets fired into the dawn. Spurs
flashing, whirlwinds rising from
the hoofs of the straining horses,
they pelted down on Kansas Terry.
The girl was Toni Lee; the men, her
foreman, Chuck Mayne, and her
cowboys, Stats and Jimmy Gwinn.
"Outa all New Mexico" the burly
Mayne thought, exultantly, I'VE
picked that there canyon to ride
through. And here's our rustler,
with a dead calf"
His exultation was tinged with
discomfort. Embarrassing, having
a lady with them; he could only
hope the men, on both sides, would
gloss things over, sort of.
Kansas Terry, the rustler, could
have grabbed his pack pony's lead
rope and vaulted into his saddle. He
could have got away through the
high greasewood, but he did not.
He bent over the dead roam calf.
The nickel conchos on his leather
roping guard flashed with the swift
turns of his wrist. He wiped and
sheathed his bowie knife. Tall,
lanky, easy in manner, he stood
with his back to the party riding
toward him.
The riders circled him at the gal
lop, pulling the ponies to their
launches in sudden stop.
Kansas Terry's brown Stetson
was showed back, disclosing his
pale eyes, with their sly, mocking
expression. He smiled sweetly.
''Mornin', Miss Toni. M orr n.
Chuck. Mornin', Stats. Mornin',
Jimmy" Addressing the girl, he
bowed from the hips. Kansas Ter
ry's good manners never failed
him.
Chuck Mayne's bushy brows met
over his rugged face like storm
clouds over the Bad Lands. I'VE got
yuh this time, Kansas"
Nov All wouldn't say So" Kan
sas Terry drawled, gently.
Chuck Mayne felt uneasy. There
was something about the mockery
in Kansas Terry's pale eyes, some
thing about the extra silk on his po-
likeness, that said he wasn't caught
by long way.
Toni Lee drew her fingers across
her eyes as if mist gathered there.
A slim girl, with wide-set eyes, gen
tility showed on her as plainly as
the silver bracelets on her brown
wrists.
''That there" Mayne asserted,
els calf out'n Miss Toni's herd"
"That there" Terry returned,
courteously, sis maverick. There
amt brand on it,
MAYNE swung out of the saddle.
AVA The right side Of the calf was
up, the curly roam hair unmarried
by branding iron. He heaved the
carcass over. His heart turned over,
too, and stopped.
On the calls flank a square as
large as a mans hand glared bright
red.
The calf, strictly speaking, had no
brand. The brand had been cut
away.
Chuck Mayne Strengthened up,
with his fists on his hips. Outwardly
cool, inside he seethed.

YOU MIGHT BE A NAGGER

The husband was up for striking
his wife. He had no defense except
that she nagged him continuously.
But in the eyes of the judge that
was sufficient, for he said, in ac-
quitting the husband, There's moth
ing worse in this world than nag
ging person"
Note that he said person." not
woman" for it is fact that just
as many men as women nag-and
both men and women, when they
nag, put big boulders in the path
of their life.
Maybe you know naggers and
wonder why they nag. It's a Curl
Gus and interesting reason. Naggers
nag because they are dissatisfied
with their own existence, and want
to make others dissatisfied. That
is one reason. Another is that they
are jealous. A third is that the nag
ger is simply selfish, spoiled per-
son.
The worse thing about nagging,
however, is that many persons are
naggers without knowing it.
Keep a record for two or three
days, and if, you find querulous
note in your actions or words, ten
dency to like to tell others what to
do, you're nagger.
And then you have to take the
treatment. The treatment consists
of one word-STOP. If you want
others to like you, if you want to
make the most out of every day
of your life; don't develop the habits
! of a nagger.

Permit juvenile Court to waive

nicipal Court by raising the none
tary limit from $50 to 5000. On this

Byrd Asks Survey of Assets.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Virginia
asserted that the ultimate cost OF
supporting free peoples" would
certainly be immense" He pro-
posed that Bernard M. Baruch be
appointed by the President to make
"a survey of total American assets
and balance them against expected
outlays.
Senator Byrd said in statement
yesterday that such an inventory
should show how much we can in
crease our public debt without the
danger of insolvency; how much we
can collect in taxes without de-
stroying the profit motive; the ex-
tent of our national resources and
what will happen when our present
inflated tax revenues decline"
A balance sheet like this, Senator
Byrd said, would do much to clear
the minds of millions of Americans
who are asking themselves the ques-
ton: Where are we going and can
we pay our way?'"
The Virginia Senator said that
since July /, 1945, the United States
incident to this new global policy"
has embarked on foreign assistance
program calling for a total outlay
of almost $4,000, 100000. He said
that for the next Is months alone
this country,s foreign commitments
total $7,043, ,100, 900, exclusive of the

adoption, unless certain conditions
are shown which do not appear and
which the court did not find In the
present case"
