big truck farm down in the fat
lands bought himself truck and
started Grating and carting his
own produce in to the depot here.
One day he got an anonymous
letter sayin' he'd better use the
services of the Coulter Transpor-
tation Company or his daughter,
Lois, might disappear some day
when she was ridin' in to school
by herself. A family man can't
buck that sort of thing Irskine."
JEFF swore under his breath.
"But if you all got together :. :"
"He's got too many spies like
Ira Benson toadying to him. If he
found out we was gangin' UP on
him there's no tellin' what he'd
do. The women put the pressure
on us, Irskine. they'd rather shell
out than have somethin' happen
to one of their kids, and you can't
blame them"
|T UKE looked toward the door;
Il he gave the bar a swipe with
his rag then grimaced at jeff.
"Here comes Brasher now" he
muttered and turned away then
called back, "The beer is on the
house-we're mighty glad you're
back"
BraSher's small darting eyes
went to jeff, examined him and
slid off him. jeff knew that Coul-
ter must have seen him outside
and sent him in to look Jeff over.
He was a tall heavy-Set man with
wirey red hair and a red nous
tache, his skin almost a wealth
cred mahogany from years of out
door living. AS he picked up his
glass of beer jeff noted that the
third finger of his left hand was
missing.
Leaving the Red Star, JEFF
walked slowly up the street to the
small neat town hall. In the office
where records were kept he asked
| for the book of real estate trans
actions made in the county during
1885. Leafing through the pages
he came to the month of Novem-
Der. A sheet of paper caught his
eye, it was different from the
others, cleaner and the ink clear
fresh blue instead of the time.
darkened writing of ten year:
ago. The writing was carefully
spaced to spread it out and fill ur
the page but there was still .
blank.
| He looked beyond that page

then came back. It was obvious
now that the page containing the
details of his fathers land pur-
chase had been removed and
fresh one inserted emitting the
transaction. He stiffened. stunned
and infuriated to his core. Yet he
was puzzled too. What was Coul-
ter after? Surely he wouldn't go
to all this trouble just to legaliZe
his renting of Irskine's house to
the Hardys! What else was be-
hind it?
He stared at the clerk and was
going to ask if he had written the
new page until he saw that the
man wore the same hunted fur
tive expression that seemed to at
tach itself to the faces of all of
Coulter's underlings. He'd get
nothing out of him and would
only give himself away.
Bitterness welled up in JEFF. -.
Squaring his shoulders he
stepped out into the sunlight and
STROBE toward the rail where he'd
left the palomino. Across the
street a car caught his eye,-the
Gentry station wagon, parked be-
fore Coulter's office. Monica Cen
try was at the wheel. She waved
to him and he lifted his hat, but
his eyes went beyond her Gu
riously.
A man was beside her, a dark
youngish man in tweed coat and
a StetSon. He was in earnest con-
versation with Coulter who leaned
on the side of the car. When Mon
lea waved, he turned from Coul-
ter and said something quickly.
jeff saw Monica's eyebrows go
up, her lips frame some sarcastic
rejoinder; then she laughed and
he guessed she was giving the
two an exaggerated account OF
the tire-changing episode Neither
of the men looked amused and he
supposed she was rubbing it in
about his politeness in helping
her. Woman-like she was prob
ably magnifying the whole inci-
dent.
AS he continued on he felt their
eyes following him down the
street. Their interest puzzled him.
Could there be some connection
between the Gentrys and Coul-
ter? Some tie-up that would bring
them into his own affairs? Or
were recent discoveries making
his imagination play him tricks?.
He cursed himself out mentally.

JEFF was conscious suddenly Of
- an atmosphere of suspended
animation in the Red Star as
Coulter brushed past him and
went into the binding sunshine
of the street. He stared after his
receding figure for a moment then
turned and ordered a beer. The
bartender was fat jovial Luke
Reerns. a long time resident of
McCloud. He shot JEFF a wry
smile.
Looks like you kinda lost that

States should hold onto it's
$4,000 acres of Central Ameri-
can hemp land at least until
December 81, 1913.
Altogether, the Govern
ment holds title to five such
fibre farms - two in Costa
RIGA, and one each in Hondu-
ras, Guatemala and Panama.
They were started shortly af-
ter Pearl Harbor, when it be-
came obvious it was only a
matter of time before U. S.
Textile weavers and rope MAX
ers would lose their hemp
sources in the Dutch East In
dies. Actual management is
done by the United Fruit Com
pany.
The Government thus far
has spent about 22.5 million on
the project and has recovered
about SIS million from the sale
of hemp. If prices stay at cur
rent levels-between 20 cents
and Is cents a pound-R. F. D.
officials think operations over
the next two years will bring
in another SIS million net.
United Fruits reluctance to
exercise options it holds on the
plantations is undoubtedly due
to belief hemp prices will slide
back to pre-war levels of
around 5 cents a pound once
supply catches up with de-
mand-in a matter of three or
four years.

A project under way in the
chemistry department of the

explain the browning of food

FOUR-YEAR-OLD WEARS
COMPLETE DENTAL PLATE

NON1I LIZ i Z DElN AL Liza -
A four-year-old boy who
never has had, and never will
have, teeth of his own, now is
wearing complete dentures
made for him by the clinicians
of the pedodontia department
of the dental school of North
western University.
The tiny dental plates, ap-
proximately the size of a half
dollar, are made of plastic and
contain 20 teeth, the normal
number for deciduous denti-
ton ("baby teeth"). They
were necessary because the
youngster was born with a
condition called total anodon-
tia, in which even the begin
nings of teeth are absent.
There are Is cases of anodon-
tia recorded in the literature
of dentistry, but no mention
was made in those instances of
whether false teeth were pro-
vided.
The child-size dentures are
not the first made for chill
dren by the pedodontists at
Northwestern, but are the
first provided for an anodontia
child patient. It is expected
that the boy will have to be
supplied with new plates ev-
cry two years, or have his pres
ent dentures released periodi-
cally, as the size of his oral
cavity increases as he grows
older.
DR.. George w. Teuscher,
head of the pedodontia de-
partment, explained that the
cause of anodontia is not
known, but that it is believed
to be a hereditary condition
handed down by women to
male offspring, but seldom
suffered by the women them
selves. Of the recorded cases
of total anodontia, only three
were those of females.
In the family history of the
boy patient there was bro
Their of his mother who had
partial anodontia, in which
two lateral incisors failed to
develop. In the youngsters i'm
mediate family, there are two
brothers with the normal num-
Der of teeth.
Dentists who have treated
the boy believe that there may
be some relation between his
anodontia and two abnormali-
ties of epidermal structures,
his lack of sweat glands and
poor hair development. The
child is, however, normal in
height and weight for his age.
Since he has acquired his
dentures, the juvenile patient,
referred to Northwestern Uni
versity pedodontists by a Chi
cago hospital, has noticeably
improved in his social atti-
tudes and is loath to part with
his new false teeth on visits
to the clinic. His physical ap-
pearance, too, has been i'm
proved. When he first became
a patient of the clinic, early
last year, DR.. Teuscher re-
ported, the child had the ia
