Frear wrote ]. C. Messner, super
intendent of Harrington schools
this week.
This means that construction
will start some time after April /.
Advertisement for bids on con-
struction cannot be placed until
critical materials have been al
lOtted.
Judging from a letter Mr.. Mess
ner received last week from 9. S.
Senator John j. Williams, the To-
cal building program will be allot-
ted all critical materials except
copper. The letter reads, in part:
We have contacted officials in
the United States Office of Educa-
ton, in regards to materials, who
advised US that approval is expect
ed with respect TO all materials
except copper. 1t was indicated
that the government will not be
able to meet the requirements for
copper"
Mr.. Messner said the lack of
copper will not hold up the build
ing program. Il imagine il will
hold up the wiring" he said, "but
stainless steel, galvanized iron, or
possibly aluminium will take the
place of copper in specifications in
everything but electrical units"
A. J. Taylor, Jr., consulting en-
gineer, whose services are dona-
ted to the state, and who has con-
tacted the authorities in Washing
ton for materials, feels we will
have specific information on re-
quested materials by the middle of
the month, Mr.. Messner said.
The superintendent of schools
said that repair work on the ele-
mentary school building, which
suffered a fire on October /, has
been finished He stated that prac-
tically everything had been done
on the inside. with floors resand-
ed and refaished, and that it was
planned to repaint the entire

TicultuTe-tOday the number is

through necessity, we are learning
to produce more with fewer pro-
ducers-and we must continue to

Some of the current ills of the
farm situation, according to Mr..
Simpson, may be attributed to the
lack of practical experience by
many Of the men in the United
States Department of Agriculture
and kindred agencies.
The speaker deplored the world
tendency to adopt some form of
socialism. "CO-operatives are So
cialistic," he declared, 'and as an
illustration of the weakness of So
cialism. England. with more coal

4 Short Short Story
By VIRGINIA w. STRUBLE

"TF YOU are bound to go, Alice,
at least take gum" The
speaker was a rough old miner in
the frontier town of Lone Deer,
Montana Territory.
Alice Walters shook her head.
mo! The Nez Perez Indians have
suffered enough from the white
men. That's why they're on the
war path. I'm not going to shoot
any Indians. But I am going to
bring my sons back safely"
Montana Territory was tense with
Indian fever. The Nez Perez driven
by desperation had fled their Idaho
reservation and defeated the Unit
ed States army. White prestige was
at low ebb.
Miners from outlying diggings,
and stocknen from lonely ranches
scurried to the frontier town of
Lone Deer. They came by night,
some on foot, fearing horse might
attract the Red Men.
The newcomers joined with the
citizens in building a log stockade
about the courthouse and town
pump. In this ancestor of the bomb
shelter, the towns people planned
to hole up for the duration.
Wherever the men were working,
Alice Walters was under foot,
urging someone to carry warning to
the cow camp on Lodgepole creek,
rs miles to the south. Her two sons,
BERTHE, 10, and George, Il, were
there with an uncle.
Don't be fool, Alice. What do
you think come to Lone Deer fer?''
was the usual answer to her plead
ing.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-12-01

She offered her saddle horse for
reward. mo thanks. Don't keer to
trade my scalp fer a hoss."
won't someone go with me?" she
begged.
''If the Nez Perez want my hair
they have to come fer it. You're in
our way, Alice"
AFTER SEVERAL rebuffs she de-
cided to make the dangerous trip
herself. Although an expert shot,
she refused to take a weapon. A
shawl was fastened behind her side
saddle and the saddle bags con-
tanned dried meat and oats. Her
hair, just touched with gray, was
uncovered, and her sun-burned face
was taut with anxiety. Under her
arm was a crooked-handled umbrel-
la. Her full-skirted calico dress
concealed her ankles and she rode
to the stockade gate.
Two miners strained on the bars
and the gate creaked open far
enough for Mrs. Walters to pass
through. Then it banged shut.
There was a finality in that bang.
Like a period. 1t was as if her
neighbors washed their hands of her
rash act.
She opened her floppy umbrella
as protection against the burning
August sun. It shaded her like a
black cloud on staff. She allowed
the horse to choose his own gait
until it was dark. All afternoon
she rode over the bunch grass and
between clumps of sagebrush,
which caught at her skirts. Always
she was watching for movement

covered her, she depended on the
horse to smell the Indians in time
to warn her. In the thin, cool air
she Rugged her shawl about her
shoulders. Now and then she prod
ded the horse with her umbrella.
BY mid-morning she knew she
was in the neighborhood of the cow
camp. The two story log house, a
familiar landmark had disappeared.
She blamed her dropping eyelids
but on drawing nearer saw the pile
of ashes where the house had been.
She had lost her race to the In
dians!
Her heart and brain were as
numb as her legs when she climbed
down from the jaded horse. She
poked in the ruins with her umbrel-
la. Charred picture frames, cracked
pottery, smoked kitchen utensils,
part of bed lay in the rubble. But
no bodies, thank God! Could the
boys then be captives?
She leaned against tree to plan
her next move and hoarse whisper
came from the bushes behind her.
''Mother!"
WHEN SHE TURNED, two
white-faced boys came running to-
ward her. She gathered their cold,
unnerved bodies in her arms and
pressed them against her.
Uncle" the younger boy sobbed.
'"The Injuns killed him. Down by
the creek" His shoulders shook as
he chung to his mother.
''But we hid in the root cellar
like he told u.s." The older boy
struggled to be brave. MA, the In
juns didn't git all the horses. Can
we start home right away?"
Three of them now to watch and
listen. The 12-year-old George
with manly courage took the lead,
and 1O-year-old Bert followed his
mother.
Along brushy creek bottom the
horses snorted. Sure sign of In
dams. George reined his mount
into the thicket and signaled the
others back. Breathlessly they
waited. Hoof beats passed over the
hill above them. When their horses
nostrils ceased to CULVER, the riders
nudged them forward.
THEY WE'RE coming out of the
bottomlands three abreast. Mrs
Walters umbrella was under her
arm. AS they turned a blind corner
into a coulee, the horses reared
Facing them were half dozen Nez
Perez braves in full war paint.
Mrs. Walters kicked her horse
forward into the jaws of the trap
AS she plunged toward him, she
pointed her umbrella at the chief
and snapped it open.
His eyes stretched wide, his nos
trils dilated. He pivoted his horse
and took off over the hill. The othel
Indians followed. Mrs. Walters anc
the boys loped back to the leafy
shelter along the creek.
Dawn and Lone Deer was sighted
half hidden by the aspens along it
diggings. Well Mrs. Walters knew
the guard would spot them and sh'
slumped in her saddle.

Thousands of Americans eat pine
tree seeds. AS much as eight mil
lion pounds of the nut-like seeds of
the pinyon pine have been shipped
from our Southwest in one year.
The nut is rich and tasty.
Actually there is nothing new
about the seating of pinyon nuts,
Indian nuts or phones (pronounc-
ed peen-yown-ees), as the Mexi-
cans call them. In Europe the seed
of the pinyon, or stone pine, has
been eaten since time immemorial.
There the nut is called pignolia.
The early Spanish explorer Cabeza
de Baca found the Indians using
pounded nuts for flour. He consid-
cred the New World pinyon nuts
better than those of Spain. Today
dark-eyed children of Mexican ex-
traction sell little bags of phones
to passing motorists.
Many wild creatures also have
found that the nuts are good eat
ing, according to the National
Wildlife Federation. Turkeys and
band-tailed pigeons fatten on them.
They provide II percent of the
food of the beautiful white-headed
woodpecker. The pinyon jay got
its name because it feeds so ex-
tensively upon the seeds of this
tree. Numerous rodents, which in
turn become food for larger an
imals, rely upon them.
Surprisingly, the scrubby, mis-
shapen, unpretentious pinyon pine
played a major role in the develop
ment of our great Southwest. 1t
iS the common evergreen seen with
jumpers (cedars) in scattered,

Early settlers found that it made
a hot fire and was invaluable for
cooking and heating. Together
with the juniper it served for
building ranch houses, fences and
