In 1934, collections amounted to 87, 880.307.93 and for the fiscal year ending March 31, it brought in 852.317.538.89 Being a McNutt law, it's a wonder the last legislature didn't repeal it. • The people ot tms community , again demonstrated their warmth of heart and appreciation for human kindness in their generosity to the Red Cross.

When the Body Eats Poorly

9 Herman N. Bundeeen, M. O. MANY parent* think that you “•poll” a chi id by allowing him to do what he want*. The opposite la much more likely to be true, eape daily in the realm of food Many * youngster begin* hi* childhood with a poor appetite and a cram disposition only bee ante an overanxious mother ha* tried all dur Ing his babyhood to force him to eat what be does not want and often doe* not need. Poor eating in a baby often start* when he la given hi# first solid food. The taste of the food, it* consistency and feeding from a spoon are ail strange. However, after two or three days most babies will take a cereal feeding and within a week or two accept It willingly, but there ere some who, from the very first, seem to dislike cereal, and this dlallke • seem* to grow on them. Any effort that the mother may make to force the baby to take the cereal only makes him more obstinate. Prevewtiu* Difficulty To prevent difficulty with the first solid foods the mother sllould remember that It may require several days and even several weeks for the baby to get Ptmiliar with the new food. There is uo hurry. The only important thing is to make sure that the baby will eventually like the cereal. Just a ta«te each day ts enough until he become;, eager for it. Because the baby so often rebels agaiast; tairtsf the cereal It may be

A cen tury or two hence, some country which now does not get a second thought will inspire fear, while the present-day world masters are disregarded. Most people will hope that in much less than 3f>o years war will be a term whose meaning is known only to students of history. o Q Newspaper advertising Increased 24.9 per cent in 1946. according to a study of advertising volume reported in Printers' ink. Radio advertising for the same period! went up 4.7 per cent. About 961 million dollars went for newspaper advertising, about 489 and a half million for radio in 1946. It is obvious from theft figures that newspaper advertising pays. The wares of advertising are promotion. The results are sales. Few business efforts can be so quickly or so concretely analysed as to effectiveness. The fact that concerns having products to market spent almost a billion dollars in newspaper advertising and increased that appropriation about 25 per cent, is impressive testimony that newspaper columns are the very best of advertising media. 0 o A House of Representatives committee. dividing on party lines, has voted to change the 14 year-old name of Boulder Dam to Hoover Dam. on the ground that this wag the earlier name. While Irue, this does not tell the whole story. The original bill which authorised the dam. used, the name Boulder Dam. In 1931, Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, under President Hoover, substituted the name of his chief.' Two years later Wilbur's successor. Harold L. Ickes, changed it back to Boulder Dam. He now says that if any individual should be honored by the use ot his name, it should be California's late Senator Hiram Johnson, who fought I hard to establish the dam, while Mr. Hoover was not particularly sympathetic. When a great structure has borne a pain* for 14 years. Congress should make doubly sure that it is right before ordering any further changes.

> advisable to start with aome other ; solid foods such as apple sauce or mashed banana. The infant is much more likely to enjoy those food* and later take cereal will- ■ ingly. On the other band if he is , started with cereal and diMikes it. he may rebel against fruit* and every other food Hungry at Mealtimes Whet, the baby is from six to nine months old be usually is hungry at mealtimes and eatsj avidly of whatever Is offered him. [ However, between twelve and fifteen months of age children frequently lose this goad appetite. At thia time, the food* most commonly refuged or eaten poorly are vegetable*, cereal* nnd milk. Os course, the mother realise* -that the child needs these foods and she is apt to urge or try to force the baby to take them but the infant only becomes more obstinate. The mother should bear In mind that the Infant's appetite is likely to fail off from time to time If he turn* against certain foods, offer him others. If he does not want any vegetable*, give him fruit twice a day. The baby may tenvj porarlly cut down hl* milk intake. | if this happen*. extra miik can be I given in milk pudding* or in j cereals made wth milk. I»ry «►! real* may be offered in place of cooked ones. The best rule to adopt ia to let the baby's appetite take car* of itself, and to allow his appetite to determine the amount of food that be want*. Atsov* all avoid urging and tore*.

CHAPTEr. THIRTY-EIGHT NORHAN TURNED to CUff l again "For two years I have live j I here in this inland hideaway. Grad-1 ually, with Vicente and the other leaders, 1 have awakened in these Biackland people the will and power to resist Madison a vaqueros. We move slowly, hue we do move, and little by little we have banded together men with courage. We are beginning to strike back; each time a vaquero commits an act of violence, he becomes a marked man; we hunt him down and bring him to this island. We are giving Madison's bullies something to fear, and we are giving our people something to hope for." “But,'* Cliff asked, "why didn’t you bring Madison himself here t.nd put an end to all of it?" "We talked of that many times. The trouble was that as long as Claribel believed tn Madison, it would have turned her against the Biacltlanders forever. Sloan or a . dozen others could have taken his place. No, cur best course lay in making it unsafe for the petty tyrants v mile wo built up our own for the day we might risk an open battle.” In veice and manner, in every* thing Norman said, the deep humanity cf the grizzle-haired man was inescapable He might be of . the visionary' sluff that made martyrs. but if he failed, he would certainly go down flghtlr.g. And at ' that thought. Cliff was assailed by a sudden fear. "You sold you sent Vicente to bring in your riders. Are you going to attack the soldiers?" he I asked. "Not unleu they tod out about this island.” "But if there's danger of discovery, wouldn’t It be better to leave? Once you collide with the soldiers, Madison will have you where he wants you—on the wrong i side of the law.” "I know that," Norman replied "What other way is there?" Cliff had no answer; he saw, as Nonnan saw, that a elash with the soldiers must mean the ultimate defeat of the Blackianders’ cause, but onco they made Lilli tell what she knew, there could be no hope of avoiding It • Janet was the first to offer a solution. "There might be away, , Father,” she said slowly. "Claribel always t tinted you. If you tell her 1 everything and make her see just what is going on, she would have I to believe you." Norman shook his head. "She didn't believe me two years ago. I Why should she now?" "Because so much more has happened. Tie vaqueros have grown bolder in those two years. Wade has told mo -tune of the things they do. and there must be other people with the courage to tell . Claribel the truth if she could be t made to listen." "She might listen—or she might not," Norman answered. "It depends on how well Madison has blinded her. And besides, how would I get to her?" "You musn't even try," Janet answered quickly. "Let me bring her to you.” But here Cliff objected. "That won't do either. Xcu're ao safer

on the t today than your father. llf anybody is to bring Claribel iheroTlfa me. And that isn't going to be easy. She hasn’t stirred ■ out of her house for two years." Norman was openly doubtful. "It's long chance,” he admitted. "But it may be our only hope of settling this thing without bloodshed. So if you want to try it, I'll have a fresh horse saddled for you." "I’ll try It." Cliff answered, and Norman walked back toward the corral. Janet’s eyes followed him. then looked up into Cliff's. "I told him about us," she said. "He likes you." Cliff smiled. "Did he say you were crazy to love a man who is well on the way to losing his shirt?” "Shirts aren't very Important. Cliff. Besides, you haven't lost yours." Reaching over, he took both her hands. "Janet, after last night, I honestly don’t know whether J have a Chinaman's chance. If the soldiers or the vaqueras delay us now, we’re sunk, but if we can get Claribel to call off Madison, I may pull through. Otherwise, you’re going to And yourself in love with a pauper." She raised her hands to his cheeks. "I’m in love with you. What does anything else matter? If the worst happens, we’ll start again. There's a whole lifetime ahead of us, Cliff—a whole lifetime of love, and—” She drew his face closer, while her eyes searched his depths. "Promise me one thing." she said. “Be on your guard against Madison. He hates you—he hates us both." Hungrily her arms swept about his neck, and he felt the warm softness of her lips. "I couldn’t lose you now," the low voice whispered. "I'm terriby in love with you. I'll always be In love with you." Two hours later, from behind her desk in the high-ceilinged office, Clanbei glered up at Cliff. "And how do I know you're not lying?" she demanded. "You can test that by coming with me.” "Tie whole thing Is crazy—stark, raving crazy." "It's no crazier than being an ostrich." Cliffs equanimity was wearing thin. He had been getting nowhere with the old lady, and time was passing. "By ostrich, you mean me. I suppose?" The blue eyes gathered fire. "If Bob Norman's alive, why doesn’t he come here himself instead of sending you?" "I’ve told you twice. The soldiers are looking for him, and probably by now your precious nephew’s vaqueros have joined in the hunt. If you don’t want hell to break loose, there isn't much time to waste. You’re the only one can stop it. and all I'm asking you to do is take a horseback ride.” "In this blazing sun?" Claribel glared toward the tightly shuttered window. "I have a headache now. If—" Cliff's patience evaporated Why don’t you slop kidding yourself?" he growled tn a voice that made her blink. "Those headaches of yours are Just a flimsy excuse to avoid responsibility. You’ve let Madison talk you into Mieviag

you're an Invalid, until you've lost con .pie te touch with everything. You didn’t have headaches when Bob Norman was here, and I’ve . noticed you don’t have them when | you’re winning at bridge. You’re ' not old enough yet to sit around waiting to die, but that's exactly what you’re doing, and it’s because you haven’t courage to face on unpleasant truth.” "You impudent—.'" She stopped, and slowly her shoulders squared. Rising to her feet, she pulled from the desk drawer a pair of huge sun-glaases. ’’l can face anything that a brazen fly-by-night beachcomber like you can show me. Get one of the yard-boya to saddle my horse." It turned out to be alow going, for Claribel had not been in the saddle for over two years, and it was mid-afternoon when Cliff guided her through the waters of Big Swamp and up to Norman's secret home. Cliff did not witness the meeting of those old friends. He helped Claribel dismount, led her to the door, and watched her pass inside, then sat down with Janet to wait. There was nothing more lie could do—the rest remained with Norman. It must have been a stormy Interview. For well over an hbur the sound of their voices drifted out to Cliff, sometimes so low he could scarcely hear the murmur, sometimes swelling angrily, and he remembered the talcs of Norman's explosive temper — Claribcl’s he knew from actual experience. Then, so loud that Janet jumped, Claribel broke out wrathfully, "Why couldn't you have told me what was going on from the very beginning, instead of starting this insane business?" “You wouldn't have believed me," Norman's voice inswered. "I had no proof, and with the vaquerns after me I had no time to get proof. You’ve always been a doting aunt where Madhon Is concerned, Claribel. You were never willing to believe anything to his discredit. You don't entirely believe me now.” The voices fell again, and Janot whispered to Cliff, "It's bitter as death for her to listen to anything against Madison. I'm not sure even Father can convince her." And when at last the matriarch came out, it was clear she hadn't been wholly convinced, but in spite of herself her manner showed that at least she had been shaken. Bel- : ligerently she approached Cliff "Young man." she ordered, "you can take me back home.” With his help she pulled herself into the saddle. "I want to And out if things are going to pot as badly 1 as everybody around hero seems to think.” Smiling, Norman came to ker i side. "Whether you believe me or not, Claribel, won’t you say you rs glad to see me again?" Sho gave that low chuckle of hors, and the wrinkled hand dropped to his shoulder. "Os course ■ I’m glad. Bob. There wasn't anybody worth fighting with after you loft." Then, as if to atone for that momrot of weakness, aha barfcn l ' > at Cliff. ’’Well, what are we watt- , lag tor?’ (To Ee Cafittettoai
