Cray, of Munde, for murdering his infant son, found him not guilty, after he took the stand and placed the blame on his wife, mother of the * chid. The fact remains that the little tot was killed and so far. uo one has -• been punished for the crime. A girl living at Rushvile, Indiana, underwent 43 operations and still survives. Accidentally she swallowed' some lye, burning her throat and after undergoing 42 unsuccessful operations,’ the forty-third one proved successful j and they think she'll live. Good for the girl. Cogie ou boys, let's support the Indust rial Association. How many of you have helped make the Better U Homes Week Exposition a success? The first effort along this line is a fommendable one and with support it could be made a profitable venture every year. Take an interest in your business, in your community and in those organ izatious which try to make this a better place in which to live. The Industrial Association deserves your support and right now is the time to help the directors do things. Let's* uot leave everything for the other fel-j low, for with- that feeling, nothing will be done. Come on, let's go. Anyway, ilie republican administra-. tion leaders don't like the result of the primary election in Pennsylvania and talk is heard that maybe Cover- J nor Pinchot will run as an independent candidate against “Bogs'' Vare, split-1 ting the repuhican vote and making it possible to elect M .ison, the democratic candidate for U. S. senator. In the political shake-ups nowadays stranger things have happened. Decatur was ninety years of Wednesday of this week. The old town has gone along under all the hardships of the early Indiana countyseat, but has come along until now she is alive, well, hearty and growing, Not a bad little town, as towns go. And, then, they are democratic ITS J ■ over there, and that helps any town. * —Bluffton Banner. I Thanks, Bluffton, we know we have ! a good town.

He told many truths and I cited instances where th L . successful merchant is the one who consistently advertises in the local paper, keeps his store windows trimmed and lighted and his goods well displayed, has vomteous cerks and salespeople and knows what the customer wants, when i * he wants it bnd if he is making a | profit on the transaction. Mr. Buiseh : spoke for more than an hour and a half and his suggestions were well received by the men and women present. Those who heard him can profit by his advice and suggestions. i Congress is, and has been the farmer. Yesterday, after much heralding and speech-making, that the. Haugen price stabilization bill, would make It possible for farmers and farm organizations to finance crop 3 and obtain a suitable price for them, congress killed the bill by a vote of 212 to 167. Now the politicians who * saw in the passage of the bill, fine * talk for campaigns are blaming the president for using his efforts to defeat the bill. Already there is talk of a break in administration circles and the names of Lowdeu and others are being associated with the republican nomination for president two I years hence. In the meantime, the farmer will go without relief and the * smooth tongue orator w ill try to tell 1 j them that they ahe better off w ithout > any relief.

That principle too is basic I in a democracy for the power of the people can more surely exert itself on * geverument near than on government retnote. The embodiment of 1 that 1 principle in the Dill of Rights was the acheivement of those who held the philosophy of government that has Constituted for a century and a quarter the creed of the --Democratic party. The tenth of those amendments which were designed to protect >llO ertiJtens of the slate against the power of the nation reserved to the people and the states ail undel--1 egated authority.

That principle too Is basic in a democracy for the government oj all-of-us ceases so to be when it takes Worn all but not for the benefit of all. "The best illustration of departure from that principle is the FordneyMeCumber tariff act. That act was the expression of the spirit of sordid selfishness which triumphed in the election of 19-20. The average of tariff duties was raised 59 per cent. The purpose in so raising duties was bf course to raise prices. That is always the purpose ol a protective ' tariff act—to raise prices. The act | eays that certain commodities —the j present act names fonr thousand groups of commodities—may not be 1 imported unless duties thereon are 1 paid. That mean:: that the domestic producers of those commodities can increase the prices thereof by amounts equal to the duties thereon , without being in danger of foreign competition. $

CHAPTER VII —Hampton, at the ranch, become* uteeasy at Judith'* long absence. With Tommy Burkltt he goes to seek her, arriving In time to drlv# the attackers off. and capturing one man. known aa “Shorty.” CHAPTER Vlll.—"Shorty” escape* from Imprisonment In the grainhous# on the ranch, to the disgust of Carson, cow foreman, who had him In charge. Lee begins to feel a fondness for Judith, though he realizes she Is not hie womanly Ideal. Marcia Langworthy, one of Hampton's party, typical city girl, is more to hie taste. CHAPTER IX—The discovery le made that pigeons, with hog cholera germs on their feet, have been liberated on the ranch. Lee captures a stranger. Dick Donley, red-handed, with an accomplice, a cowboy known as “Poker Face." Donley has brought more pigeons to the ranch. "So I might,” answered Lee thoughtfully. “I was going to in the first place. But you'll remember you were off somewhere traveling when the bubble broke. When Dick Karris travels,” and his grave smile eame back ! to him. “let no mad letter think that I It can track him down. Then I lift my stride In this sort of life; I grew away from the'old news; the years passed as years do after a man is twentyfive; and I Just didn't write. But I didn’t forgdt, Dickie, old man,” lie said nfrffdy, and his hand rested on Far- j Is’ shoulder. “You can put it in that i >ld black pipe of yours and smoke It, I hat I didn't forget. Some day I ilanned to hit town again, heeled, you .now, and remind you of auld lung yne.” "You are a fool, David Burrill Lee,” :nid Farris with conviction/ "Look icre: you can take a new start, pull •ourself together, come back —where 'ou belong.” But Lee shook h!s head. “That's like the old Dick Farris I used :o know,” he said gently. ‘'But this is xhere I belong, Dick. I don't want :o start over, I don't want to come yack to the sort of thing we knew. The only 4 liing in the world I do want is right herp. And I don't see that t would do any good for you to go Birring up any memories about the aid Lee that was shot ‘somewhere in France.’ ” | When Farris had to go and claim a dance, Lee watched him with eyes soft with affection. Then he, too, left the room and went hack to the outer I door, to his old spot, looking for Judith. j* "The only thing I want is right here,” he repeated softly. ‘ He watched Farris join Marcia and Judith. He noted the eager excite--1 ment in Marcia’s eyes, saw her turn * Impulsively to Farris. The e-Hst shook his head and left them, ostensibly going In search of his partner. Marcia was speaking excitedly to Judith. Lee frowned. Once more that night he held Judith In Ids/ arms. He meant to make amends for his brusque way with her before. But again the magic of her presence was fike n glorious mist, shutting them in together, shutting all iof the world out. They spoke little and the music had Its will with them. Judith did not know that she sighed ' as the dance ended. She seemed moving in a dream as Lee led her through the door. They were out in the courtyard. the stars shining softly down on them. In the subdued light here lie stood still, looking down into her pleasure-flushed face. Again the insistent tremor shot down his blood. • ***•*• Here In this tender light sho looked to him the masterpiece of God striving for the perfect In a woman’s form. Her gown, gently stirred by the warm breeze, seemed a pnrt of her, elusive, ailve, feminine. The milk-white of bare throat and shoulder nnd rounded arm, the rise and fall of her breast, the soft lure of her eyes, the tender rmti'e upon her lips, drew him slowly closer, closer to her. She lifted her a little, raising her eyes until they straight into his. 1 “Judith.’j he said very quietly, very gravely, making her wonder at the tonp and the words to follow: ‘‘You lijive had your war with me tonight.

Do you understand all thnf means? And now —I urn going to have my way with you!” He caught her In his arms, crushed her to him. kissed her. Then he let her go uml stood, stern-faced, watching her. For a moment he thought that the hand at tier side was rising to strike him full In the face. But he did not move. Had such been Judith's Intention, suddenly It changed. "So,” she cried softly, “this is the sort of fine gentleman into which a dress-suit has made Bud Lee, horse foreman: For so great an honor surely any woman would thank him!” 1 She made him a slow, graceful courtesy, and laughed at him. And so she left him, her laughter floating back,'taunting him. Lee watched her until she hrd gone from his sight. Then lie turned nnd went down the knoll, into the night.
