Democrat editors are Mid to have groomed Henry Schricker and John Watkins to head their ticket. The editors stood tor good government and endeavored to nominate men. who if elected would give it to the people With the new voting machines and editorial, leadership, the political conventions have become more like a town hall meeting discussed from a civic standpoint. o o So far Citation which won the Derby. Preakness and Belmont races, has made $389,020 this year, with the Arlington Classic and other races yet to come Thia is not far short of Assault's one-year record of $424,195. It puts Citation fifth in the list of burses who have brought in the greatest winnings Stymie leads with 1959,635, which will increase from time to time as he continues to race. Money, of course.

But people were not so lavish in those days. 1 ——o o— —— Governor Green didn't excite much interest as a keynoter. He| might have labored long on his speech and like a mother hubbard tried to cover everything His delivery was flat and he fail ed to put over his invectives. Many believe that Col McCormick could have done belter by going ahead, and delivering the speech. When Green talked about foreign policy, be was saying things be didn't believe and his audience felt the strain. If he meant that the Republicans would give the country the brand of statesmanship that Forpter Se< relary of State Kellogg advocated the junking of American ships, this country will be in sorry shape if the GOP wins. o— —o Auto owners will not take kind ly to the suggestion that license plates be boosted to $lB a year and that an extra cent be added to the state gasoline tax.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT I •NICE PLACE you have here," I the stranger said. ''Have a cigar?" He offered one to Andrew, but Andrew refused. I "I don’t smoke much, nnd then mostly cigarettes," he said. He was beginning to realize that I this man had not come here for the view at all. but to talk to him. He was tempted to turn • cold shoulder, but his curiosity was i aroused, and he resolved to remain noncommittal and see what happened. 1 "Have you had It long?" the man Inquired. "What-the house?" Andrew was startled. "No, not long. I only moved in a week ago." The man's eyebrows went up. "Expecting your family up soon, I imagine. For the summer?" "I have no family. 1 live here alone." The man hardly seemed to hear him. He was smiling at Joe's antias with the angleworm. "Cute cat!" he said, shaking his head. "Thinks he’s a tiger right this minute ... I like cats," he added suddenly. In spite of an inward caution, Andrew warmed to him. Anyone who liked Joe showed sense. "He's still’ pretty young and playful," he said. "Eph. the filling station man who gave him to me, thinks he'll be a good mousser later, but 1 don't even know if 1 have any mice for him to catch—yet" "You will have," the stranger said with assurance. "AU these old houses have ways in and out for the mice. It's getting warm now, and they're out in the fields, but when fail comes, and you go out some day and forget to close the cellar door, or something like that. you'U get them in again.” "Hm." Andrew looked at the cat "You’d better get in your practice on something speedier than angleworms. Joe," he warned. Tiie man laughed, thrust out his hand unexpectedly. "My names Sayre," he said. “Ogden Sayre. You’re Mr. Paulson, i take it" Andrew shook the hand once, briefly. He was puzzled. “Yes. how did you know?" "I heard them talking about you at the Lodge," Sayre acknowledged. "About you and your house, that ia Everybody was saying you’d done a wonderful job on it And in such a short Ume. too." "I had to hurry." Andrew told him. "I was boarding, and it coot money. Besides. I like seeing things through as quickly as possible “ Sayre nodded, his Shrewd grey eyes studying the younger man. , "Yep. Fd read yqu that way myself Quick, but not slapdash . . .

The map turned around, pleasure spread all over his’ round, good-humored face. “Would 1? 1 was afraid you’d think I was hinting—and of course, I it as—but from what I heard " Andrew led the way with Ogden Sayre right at his heels He showed him the whole house. He hadn t meant to at first—Just the living room, and the library, but Sayre's questions were sb interested and so intelligent that they went from one room to another. Jic found himself explaining about the unfinished bedroom upstairs, and the bathroom which was, at the moment, nothing more than an architect's drawing. He took him through the kitchen, and the garage, and even the cellar. "Mmm," Sayre said, frowning at the ancient furnace. “That doesn't look so good. Do you think you'll keep it all in one piece this winter?" •TH have to," Andrew confessed. “A new one would come pretty high, and I can’t afford it right now. Besides, I'm prepared to shut off the living room wing when it gets really cold." “And it does get cold up here. I’ve heard," Sayre commented. Weil, you know your finances better than I do, but it I were you, young man, I’d begin saving for a furnace, starting aow." Andrew sighed. He couldn’t do anything of the sort, of course, although he knew how good the stranger's advice waa The land would have to come first from now on. if he was going to make his living from it. He said. “Weil. I may have to have room stoves tor a few winters . . ." Ogden Sayre stood tn the small cellar, his hands in his pocxete. his feet apart, and frowned at the floor. Twice be glanced up at Anarew and started to speak, and twice be seemed to thmk better of it. Finally he took the cigar out of his mouth with a decisive air. * "Heck!" he said. "No use trying to change myself around. I always was a man who knew his own mind." * Andrew looked at him questioningiy. “You’ll probably give me the boot," the older man went on. but 1 might as well esk it anyhow: Would you consider selling this place ?" Andrew was dumbfounded. “Sell it!" he echoed. “Why, of course not 1 Just moved in. It'S"—and thia was the real reason—"lt's my home!" "Yeah.

BMITH Frankfurters Go "High-Hat” There was a day when the frankfurter was nothing more than a sandwich meat, but in these days of high priced roasts and steaks the frankfurter is firstling its way to tile table in new dress. Besides Iseing America's favorite sandwich meat, frankfurters can be served as the main course ineat. in salads, and in various appetizers for parties. There's no waste, tor frankfurters are all meat. Made of tender beef and juicy pork, "franks'' are nutritious, too. Give them the "new look." Here's how it's done: Frankfurter Qualls Silt frankfurters lengthwise. Fill with a %-inch thick stick of sharp cheese. Wrap each frankfurter spiral fashion with a slice of bacon, fasten each end with a toothpick. Place in a baking dish split side up. Bake in a hot oven (425 F) or broil until bacon is crisp and cheese is melted. Turn if necessary to cook bacon thoroughly. Note: Frankfurter quails may be broiled over an open fire, so serve them next time you have a picnic. Frankfurters are ready-to-eat because they've been cooked before • they reach the meat market. Serve | them hot or cold. Potato and Frankfurter Salad

"1 got here last night First thing I began to hear about was Andrew Paulson and bis remodeled house. So I thought I'd take a look at it on my way to a list ot places the real estate man gave me this morning. But the minute I saw thia I liked it And I knew 1 wouldn’t see anything l*d like better. I'm like that Can't help it; guess I'm built that way . . . Besides, it's just the right size. Everything about it is just right—the ground floor bedroom and be th—l've got a heart that won't let me climb stain much: the property—just enough for privacy, but not enough to need much caring for; the big living room — I've got a granddaughter who stays with me summers, and she would want a Mg room for parties: the library—just any size—a place where I could sneak away from the aforesaid parties." He was ticking off each point oa his fingers. “I like toe view, and I'm not the kind who says that and then never looks at it again. I like being in the country 1 but close enough to town. I like everything about It except that I'd hare to have that extra bathroom for my daughter—she keeps i house for me—and my granddaughter. And the furnace. But ■ that needn’t worry me any—Td I use this place summers at first. ’ then later, maybe, stay here all i year round." I Andrew still did not speak. He couldn't But he shook bis head. “Now, listen," the older man 1 was not discouraged, “you say ■ yourself you can’t even afford a ' new furnace right now. That means you’re pretty strapped, and 1 1 don’t wonder. All the more rea- ’ son why you should sell the place ' at a good profit Then you could ’ buy another, and fix it up, and—” “No," Andrew said. All the protest he felt at this suggestion, all the finality of his decision were in that one word.
