AS THE DIN of the pursuit .di-
minished. Lois sighed with relief.
Bill, at the wheel of the speeding
car, chuckled. Il soutsmarted Them"
he said complacently.
Lois glanced sidewise at her hus-
band of two hours.
you mean you were lucky she
said. IF that moving van hadn't
swung across the road behind US
and stalled -
''That wasn't luck Bill said, grim
ming. 1T cost me $25 to have that
truck swing out like that"
Leaving town the road stretched
straight ahead across a hundred
miles of barren prairie. Except by
diving into its hole, prairie dog
would have been hard put to it to
find concealment on the flat, parched
earth. Lois, very pretty in gray
tailored suit and very much in love
with Bill, shut her eyes against the
drab view and settled back in the
seat to consider the problem.
She had theory: Husbands
shouldn't be too darned smart. They
were apt to become bossy. Therefore,
Bill, being a brand-new husband,
was due to have his complacency
dented at the first opportunity.
A long blast of the horn startled
her:
"Wh-what's the matter?"
BILL POINTED, a quarter of a
mile ahead big sedan was parked
across the road. A man stood beside
the car waving his arms.
Lois glanced suspiciously at Bill.

Plow Easily Shears Roots

smaller one would have been better.
A D4 Caterpillar has pulled it but
didn't have much power to spare.
I plowed 40 acres of willow land
where the willows were from to

where they were over 70 feet high
it left humps. I disked it twice and
it left it quite smooth. Eight acres in
eight hours is the most have plowed

THIS PLOW cuts a 34-inch furrow
and has 81 inches of clearance be-
tween the beam and the point of the
share. It took nine days to build and
cost 5000 About $500 was for iron,
the rest for welding and the lift. It
has a 32-inch rolling coulter
equipped with roller bearings. The
lift was for a four bottom pillow and
is too light for this pillow so I have
to be very careful of it in rough
ground. So far it has given me no
serious trouble yet and lifts the pillow
easily.
I built this pillow to plow brush
and willow land, but the first time
used was on land that had just been

Stock Water
By j. M. GASVODA
CbOuteau County

I HAD A SPRING, or rather /
would say a bog, that was just a
mud hole about SO feet across. It
was of no value as far as watering
stock, although the location was
very favorable. It is on side hill
and just below is nice flat.
/ had the soil conservation service
look it over, and they put in charge
Of about SO sticks of dynamite, about
a foot apart from the upper side of
the mud hole down through the mid
die. The result was that this charge
blew channel through the center
to the depth of about or 4 feet
and most places to sand rock.
/ laid water pipe in this chan
mel to the upper end, which seemed
to be where most of the water came
from. BY going out a little way
had enough fall to run this water
into a stock tank. From there / ran
an underground overflow which, of

But Bill did not smile. Nor did
he slacken speed. He drove straight
toward the car that blocked the
road.

In the middle of this desert? How

Lois shifted. Don't be melodra-

gas. You can't leave a man out here
like that
No? Well, that's a gangster trick,
blocking the road like that, and
I'm taking no chances. Huh, he isn't
going to pull off! Hang on when

Bill! You IDIOT" Lois said sharp

up hard
HE WAS "A FLASFIILY dressed
young man with smile on his thin
lips and none in his eyes. He walked
over to them.

scarcely moving his lips.
Lois nudged Bill. "See!" she whis-
pered triumphantly. sHe is out of
gas. You and your gangsters!''
Bill grunted. To the stranger he
said, That's too bad. I'll stop at the
first garage and have them send
some out with the first car COM

The young man shook his head.

Bill started to object. There isn't

AS they drove along Lois hummed
little song. She was pleased with
herself. Bills sour silence only
added to her sense of triumph The

that he could be wrong and that a
wife had something to say about
things, the better were the chances
for future happiness At least, that
is what Lois told herself.

Ethics

of Congress to avoid improprieties
such as have been disclosed in
recent congressional investiga-
tionS.
Justice Jackson reviewed the
code OF ethics established by the
American Bar Association in 1908
for lawyers, and a similar code
for judges written in 1924. He
said he thought such code for
Government officials would have
some value, particularly if made
the basis for disciplinary action
in the departments.
1t is important that the code
"be not over righteous, said the
justice, or it will invite ridicule.
1t must be practical and explicit
and applied in good faith to have
value, he testified.
Traditions Stressed.
Justice jackson emphasized that
human beings frequently have
much more respect for long stand
ing traditions than they do for
laws, and stressed the Importance
of developing a tradition of honor
behind the proposed code of
ethics.
To illustrate what he meant,
Justice Jackson said he has known
men who wouldn't think of wear
ing tan shoes with dress suit
because that just isn't done, but
they might be willing to play the
numbers game or violate some
other law"
RidicuIing of Politics Decried.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota, suggested that the
general tendency of the public to
ridicule politics and speak dis
paragingly Of bureaucrats may
have a demoralizing effect on
those in Government service.
Justice Jackson said he does not
think code of ethics will combat
that. He said the average citizen
who comes in contact with the
Government fears it because of its
size and usually turns to his
Congressman because he does not
know where there is a door open
he can get into.

LEGEND AND FACT.

|
The mysterious disappearance
of shofer from the museum on
Mount Zion has Israel adither.
The shofer had been brought to
Israel from the notorious death
camp at OsWiecim, where the
Jews sounded the rams horn the
moment of the first wave of mass
determination. The shofer was
brought by two religious Jews
who survived Oswiecim. The dis
appearance of the shofer has caus-
ed much concern among Israeli
government officials because it is
feared the theft had an ideolog-
ical background, for the legend
prevailed among the religious sur
viVors of OsWiecim that that par
ticular shofer will be the one
used by Messiah when he comes
to redeem mankind and arouse
the dead. There are some who
believe, however, that the shofer
was removed by religious ele-
ments who consider it a bias
phemy to hold that the Oswiecim
shofer will be used by Messiah.
This group, of course, does not
believe that the rise of Israel is
indicative of the approach of
Messianism, and if they removed
the shofer it was to dispel the
legends that were forming about
it.
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
Before the outbreak of World
War II Europe had about 59.3 per
cent of the worldwide Jewish
population while the United
States had 31.7%. This balance
has been changed by the war
and now we have 51.03 per cent
of the Jewish population while
Europe has 30.17 per cent. The
Jewish population in the United
States is conservatively estimated
at 100000 out of a total esti-
mated world Jewish population
of over 100000. In the Soviet
Union, including Asiatic Russia,
there are about 100000 while
another half-million are to be
found in the countries within the
Soviet sphere of influence. Brit
