REAPING WITHOUT SOWING

The government is one of the biggest
.gainers from industrial profits.
U. S. News & World Report has sur
veyed 80 large corporations whose 1949
profits before taxes totaled about S4,T30,-
100000 The Federal government will tax
these businesses $1,743, 100000. Then it
viii tax the owners of the corporations
S3o9,l000OO on the dividends they re-
ceive. Thus governments take will be we'll
over $4,000, 600, 000-43 per cent of all
the dollar earnings.
This does not take into account pay
roll taxes, excise taxes or state and local
taxes which will also cut into the corpora
tons profits
In other words, government is a major
partner when it comes to dividing up the
revenues earned by business. Should we
destroy profits, we would destroy our
governments financial likelihood along
with them.

Veterans Administration:

of training under the CT Bill. May
/ use 8 months of my enrichment
to complete my high school course
and the remaining 27 months for

ment, but it will be necessary foA
you to obtain a supplemental Ger

institution in which you are to

anteed portion of the loan you

ment for the payment.

year / expect to receive $4,000

SPANISH VS.. ENGLISH

. SANTA BARBARA. Calf
Rl.-Recent tests show how much
Americans of Mexican ancestry
prefer to go on speaking Spanish
The tests were made with sol
diers of the Ninth Service Com
mand who could not read English.
Many could not speak it, but were
learning IN order to stay in the
Army.
All spoke Spanish, reports DR..
William n Altus, psychologist at
Santa Barbara College of the
University of California. Some
could read Spanish although they
had never studied it in school.
Nine per cent of those who had
never been out of this country
were fully literate in Spanish, and
80 percent were partly so al
though completely illiterate in
English ard unable to speak it.
This seemed to be true regardless
of how many generations their
ancestors had lived on American
soil, reports DR.. Altus.

Chapter IL

Chapter -
THAT news drove all other
I thoughts to the background. It
had a common effect on most of
them. with the result that a tacit
truce was accepted as regarded
this other matter, for the moment.
No one said anything about it,
and in their silence was an ac-
ceptance of Valse as the man he
claimed to be, a showing into the
background of the other charges
WHICH had been raised.
IF Saralee's headin' off some-
where, we better get a search
started. and quick, someone de-
clared. Send out every man that
can ride-With guns.
''For what?" Valse demanded.
HTo make thinks worse? L we
can find out which way she's
gone, maybe we can do some
thing. But if we go rushing around
like a hen with its head off,
everybody out and ready to shoot
at shadows, that won't help Sara
lee any. But it will stir up trouble
mighty quick and that might
make it a lot worse for her, UNI
less we find her right away.
There was sense in that, and
the others conceded it. Zachary
noted with grim amusement that
most of the others were turning
NOW to Valse, as matter of
course, for leadership.
1t had been just so in the old
days. 1t was that quality which
had made Valse a captain, though
he had started out as an enlisted
man. Zachary's mind was work
ing swiftly now. They'd overlook
these other charges, pass them of.
II looked very much as if he
would have need of every card
in the deck before this game was
played out.
He was not much worried about
Saralee. She had decided that she
!. would not marry him, that was
plain enough, and though it fitted
in we'll enough with his own de-
sires at the moment, rage smol-
6ered deep in him that it should
have worked out so. He remained
with the others long enough to
give the impression that he was
working with them in this new
crisis. but he was already seeking

an excuse for getting away when
it came of its own accord.
One Of his own men came. his
face expressionless.
There's somebody wants TO see
you," he said. Seems % think is
right important"
Zachary followed him across
the street, down a sort Of alley
behind Sam Underhill's Philadei-
phia Store. across TO an old shed.
It stood unused. with weeds
growing head-high around IL The
man who had brought word
jerked his head toward Il and
kept on without pause :
ZACHARY hesitated momentar-
- lily, chiefly TO make sure that
no one observed where he was
going. He was prepared for what
he found when he entered the
door. An Indian stood there. q
brave of perhaps twenty or SO,
He was q tall man, his face lm-
passive, waiting With si0ical
dignity which barely concealed
the anxiety seething in him.
He was Sioux--or more prop
erly, Of the Wazzazi branch Of the
greater tribe. Younger than Zach
airy, he had look Of experience
in his eyes, but there was still the
nervousness of a youthful warrior
beset by impatience. This was Bar
Runner, son of chief White Bear.
as Zachary knew,
How Far Runner greeted
him with careful dignity.
How. BrotherIH Zachary re-
turned as carefully. And then,
this formality accomplished, his
Impotence broke through form,
and Far Runner lapsed at once
into his native tongue, the words
almost tumbling over themselves.
It was a language at which Zach
airy was almost equally fluent as
both men knew.
Lone Buffalo is deadl" Far
Runner burst out. The was shot
last night. He reached the door
of our fathers lodge in the dawn,
and fell down dead. Our people
are very angry.'s
Shock coursed through Zach
airy. He had been prepared for
news that Lone Buffalo was se-
riously wounded, from what the
others had told of the wounded
Indian. And that was bad enough.

MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1850
Those born in the early hours
have a tendency to be aggressive
and rather contentious. A little
later hour modifies this into self
reliance which, with the origin
ahty of thought, will enable you
to stand alone against opposition.
In many cases there is an under
current of an artistic and sensu-
Gus temperament that improves
the mind.

Presidents, if you have deceased
members in your Lodge and it will
be impossible for you to come with
the beneficiaries, please have some
body to come and identify the bene-
ficiaries of the claimants of your
Lodges. If the secretary does not
know the beneffciaries and they
don't have some kind of credentials;
it viii be impossible for them to
make collections.
Please look after this matter We
mad it to happen in the June Board.
Secretary.
