IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dearly beloved
grandmother, Luvia HI. Stevens, who pass
ed away one year ago on August 18th, 1947
The sunshine lost its brightness
The day you went away;
So many things bring memories of you
Through every passing day.
We get so lonesome here at times
And we miss you so, that's true;
But Heaven must be a wonderful place
With someone up there like you.
Loved and sadly missed by her.

feel her nearness, the press of her
body when she moved around the
counter and placed arms about him
to hold him erect. His knees were
giving away. Except for her he
would have fallen.
He was aware of other people in
the room. But it was her voice to
which he was listening-a soft, muir
muring kind of a voice, full of COM
passion. He didn't struggle when he
felt the blackness coming on him.
1t was better so. 1t was better to
60 now, in the arms of a lovely,
sympathetic stranger, than to hang
on few feeble months more in
foreign land. Finally to die alone
and unmourned.
And how infinitely much better to
go this way, clean. Life had given
him the best of the deal, after all.
The policemen looked down at the
still figure lying in the girls arms,
at the ugly purple hole high in the
bony, barred chest. One asked the
room in general: "Who would have
thought sick old bum would have
the CUTS to try to stop a hold-up
with pipe?"
An enigmatic smile lay across the
lips of the dead John Todo. That
was his only answer.

jeep and he was conscious of their
scrutiny.
Down the street the lights in the
money exchange went dim. He rose
from the bench and stepped out
briskly. The prowl car had turned
the corner, the patrol jeep was out
of sight. Todd judged the distance
to the International Line; noticed
with satisfaction that the officials
had all moved inside their guard
house. A quick move, fast sprint,
and the business would be done.
Once across the line he could cas-
lily lose himself among the shadows
between the adobe buildings, and as
easily stay hidden until train time.
TURNING abruptly into the Money
Exchange, he saw the girl in the
red dress coming toward the coun-
ter with tray of money from the
safe. Her eyes were very wide,
very brown, and she was very pale.
In front of the counter, his back
toward Todd, there stood a man.
A tardy customer, perhaps, but des-
peration told Todd it was too late
now to back out.
He gripped the pipe in his pocket
and poked the stem of it against
the cloth convincingly. He curbed
the fine tremor that was coming
back to his fingers and spoke in a
voice made harsh and sharp by the
urgency of the moment.
"Put that down and raise your
hands,"
The man at the counter jerked
around. His hand stabbed out. Todd
felt a tearing, ripping sensation
high in his chest even as the shrill
bark of small caliber pistol hit
his ears. In continued motion,
the man broke into a dash for the
door.

if you don't know, that F. F. F. F. F.
T. means Fall Fatally on Your Fat
Face Five Times'D.
The Thinker-He works his way
doggedly to the counter in the line
you're just a few behind him) and
then pauses for Station Announce
ment, or something. Seems he never
can decide beforehand, so you have
to wait until he makes up his alleged
mind. But by that time the bell is
about ready to ring.
The Critic-He doesn't like what
you have on your plate-and doesn't
hesitate to tell you so in the most
unappetizing term. Comparing your
tapioca to fish eyes and your spa
ghetti to worms doesn't help your
appetite one bit. It doesn't help his
popularity, either.
The Sob Sister-All during lunch
period, when you want to relax and
have fun, she insists upon pouring
out her troubles to you. The only
happy ending you can be sure of is
the bell.
The Whisperers-Just your luck to
sit next to two best friends who are
in a confidential mood. That means
they whisper furiously to each other
all through the meal, leaving you
out in the cold completely to feel
like an interloper.

THE end OF THE LINE
BY CHARLES S. PARK

Only instructive reaction made
Todd stick out long leg and trip
him up. The same motivation
caused him to dive forward onto the
PROSTATE figure, to scramble for the
little gun and wrench it from tenn
porarily limp fingers The heavy
blow delivered to the base of the
mans skull with the butt of the
pistol was a part of the same pat
tern.
1t was then that realization caught
up with Todd. He arose slowly, feel
ing the pain in his chest a sudden,
live thing. He moved back to the
counter; leaned against it. The
room became whirling wheel, and
he its hub.
He never heard the girl speak into
the telephone. The shrek of 81
rem was only high note piercing
the roaring in his ears. But he did

an open safe. The other: a dark
haired girl in red dress.
She was counting out money to a
couple of tourists. Todd knew that
under the counter and in the safe
there were racks of silver and bills
of all denominations.
He hoped his nerve would hold up,
to provide support yet little longer
as he continued down the block. He
crossed street and entered a small
park. He seated himself on a bench
The streets were gradually emp
tying. A police prowl car eased
quietly by and its occupants turned
their heads to look at him. He
stared back. Yet at the same time
he felt GOODNESS around his heart.

Crop Roots Require
Oxygen and Water
Organic Matter Decay
HELPS Soil to Breathe

Soils must breathe deeply If
crop roots are to support high
yields above the ground. These
roots need oxygen to grow and
reach out for water plant nutrients.
To breathe deeply, soils must
have regular additions of organic
matter. Without organic matter
soils tighten up. Soil particles are
jammed together. The soil becomes
a compacted mass. There is little
room for either air or water. Roots
find it hard to forage in the tight
soil.
When organic matter is added, it
opens the soil for air and water
to soak in deeply. AS it rots the
organic matter builds soil struc-
ture. The humus formed from or
ganic matter swells and shrinks
with wetting and drying. Com
pounds that form when organic
matter decays help to stick these
mineral particles together in small
groups so that the soil is loose and
workable.
Organic matter should be added
deep in the soil as well as in the
plow layer. Middle West Soil I'M

that the best way to drive organic
matter down deep is through use
of tap-rooted legumes. such as al

hesitated to ash her cigarette and,
