Get a lot of sunshine these days and store up a batch of vitamin C for those days of short sun later in the year. Use good common sense and avoid a severe burn, take it in short doses, a few exposures before vacation time will leiminate days of discomfort. —O—O— These beautiful mornings cause one to ponder the goodness of Mother Nature. While all the secrete of her doings will never be fully understood there are many who derive a vast amount of satisfaction from just drinking in the , wonders of her daily appearances May we suggest that you open up your hearts and eyes and let the morning sunshine in. O O Another game in the victory column was achieved by the Post 43 junior legion baseball team recently. These boys are enjoying one of the best seasons in many years and are deserving of the support of all. The next game in , the district play-off will be held in Decatur in the near future and many fans will be on handMo give them the encouragement they deserve. Keep up the fine work. —tO O— • Atom-bomb tours can now be included in a trip to the West.

It is suggested that viewers refrain from the use of binoculars for eye injury can result from magnification Four more tests are scheduled for later this summer, so make your plans to see one. No admission charge yet. O O . There has long been a shortage of both teachers and engineers and now doctors are added to the list. It has been a long time since there was an overabundance of medical men. We are told that ipadekuate facilities are the cause for such shortages and it is incumbent upon our schools to enlarge. At the rate of population increase it is expected that we will need 100,000 more doctors, in the near future, than the present pace of training can anticipate. Lengthy and expensive training periods indicate need tor some sort men to take such preparation. We of subsidies to encourage more need to give consideration now rather than wait until a crisis is here. '

The expense is negligible when compared to the cost and inconvenience of a break or a bad sprain. 0 O Congres has abandoned its former policy by agreeing to 1 deal in foodstuffs with Red satellite nations.

WHAT rs BAP PE NINO -Will Beeson is telling the story. His home hai been the Box P ranch in Easter Valley in frontier Colorado ever since Joe and Sarah Pardee took him In, a homeless, hungry, kid, seven years back. Will, having the deepest affection for the Pardees. was distressed by the bitterness between Joe and ftis wife. Sarah, who has lived in a wheel chair since an accident. One morning Will rode with Joe Pardee and Gene Dillingham, another of Joe's cowhands, to meet Al Beam, who had challenged Pardee's domination of Easter Valley. When Joe cornered Beam, he was the loser in the duel. Dillingham killed Beam in a rage of grief. Dying of his wounds. Joe told Beeson: "Take care of Kathy Morgan." referring to a young woman who had attracted Joe's interest Sarah, taking charge of the .ranch, names Beeson as foreman. This makes him an ehemy. tor Gene Dillingham has expected to get the lob. Going further. Sarah gives Beeson 49% ownerili ip of the Box P, to make him eligible to be a member and assert authority in the Easter Valley Cattlemen's association. Joe Pardee had been its president. The new president. Alec Dodson, is not the fighter for the ranchers’ rights that Joe was. Will wants to maintain Joe Pardee's ironfisted policy of keeping the valley free of homesteaders, but Sarah opposes violence "to protect grass we don't own." When two newcomers. John Mathers and Al Romig, come to Box P to inquiro about land in the valley, her new ranch partner's hostility to them angers Sarah. Will's own anger is greater when, later, he learns from Kathy Morgan that Matheis and Romig are preparing to bring a colony of fifty families to live in , the valley, aided by Merle Turner, an Easter Valley man. Turner is a crony of Dillingham's and an enemy of everyone else in the valley. Will goes to Mathers to Warn him to give up his colonization scheme. . . . ' .■ CHAPTER 11 J HADN’T TOUCHED Mathers. 1 He was a dreamer, and a stupid one at that, with no notion whatever of what life in Easter Valley Would be for a bunch of greenhorn farmers. I rode back th Alton’s Trading Post, thinking hard. Mathers had been warned. If he came again in the sprihg, the death of his people would be on his head. 1 knew what 1 had to do. I’d stop him. No matter what Sarah said, I’d stop him. I tied my horse at the rail in front of the trading post and stood there a moment, thinking about what Alec Dodson had sale! that morning: "I won’t sighs for the Box P and you won’t fight for Anchor.” But we couldn’t wait to see who had to fight. Once those fifty families were in the valley, they’d stay; but if* we could stop them in the canyon .... I went into Alton’s place and closed the door behind me. In the summertime I could stand ft because the door was always open, but now, in the cold weather, the smell was so bad I wouldn’t have come in if I could have helped IL Alton was about sixty, a stringy man with all his front teeth gone and long hair that he continually brushed back from his forehead. He Acver took a bath, seldom shaved, and as Car as I knew he was wearing the same suit of buckskin he’d worn when Id come' 1 to the country seven ■years ago.

Alton was not entirely to oiame for the smell. The big room was filthy. He bought furs and hides, and often stored them at one end of the room. He kept supplies there, and sometimes his meat spoiled long before he got around to throwing it out. He lived alone except for a Mexican kid who did the chores and slept in the barn. He had no family, but he was the greediest man I bad ever met. He was a coward, and crafty, and his word meant nothing, but 1 thought I could get him to do what I wanted if 1 handled him right When Alton saw me, he got up from where he had been sitting by a; window patching a pair of pants. "Coley," 1 said, “you know the two greenhorns who just drove downriver?" “Why, I wouldn’t say I know them, Mr. Beeson," he said cautiously. “They stopped on their way into the valley, and stopped again just now.” "They tell you they’d be back in the spring?” A crafty expression worked into his faded eyes. He wasn’t sure what I was getting at, but the possibility of making a dollar was never absent from his mind. “Well, now, Mr. Beeson, I don’t just recollect.” “All right, Coley,” I said. "This is worth SIOO to me if you do what I want you to.” He didn’t say anything until he- cut off a chew of tobacco from a worn plug and stuffed it into his mouth. He worked on it, eyeing me; then he said: *Td like to help out, Mr. Beeson. I truly would. But if it ain’t legal . . . " I was angi-y then. The formality of being legal had never bothered him. “I figure to shoot a few settlers,” I said, “but if you don’t have the stomach for it you’re not my man." I had started to turn, when he said hastily: “Now don’t get your tail up, Mr. Beeson. It’s just that I have to be careful." I laid five gold eagles on the bar. "Coley, if you agree to my proposition, you get this now and the rest in the spring.” I waited while he studied the money. Then 1 took my knife out of my pocket. “I’ve cut a lot of calves with this knife, Coley. If you double-cross me, I’ll do the same with you.” He jumped back, his gaze on the knife, then on me, and finally on the money. He whispered: "Mr. Beeson, I wouldn't sell you out I’M deeply hurt by—" “Then it’s a deal?” >■ He nodded, and pocketed the money. "When will Mathers and his bunch be back?" “The middle of April." "It’s a good day’s pull to the valley from here,"*! said, “sd they’ll camp on the river. As soon as you see them roll m, you sad-

Would it be all right for a man's family to give an engagement announcement party, if the girl's family cannot afford to do, this? A. No. The man’s family may give a celebration party, but the announcement must be made by the girl’s parents, and they could do this very well through the local newspapers. Q. When a man brings an unexpected guest home for a meal, should the wife apologize for the scanty meal? A. Never! She should serve exactly what she had originally planned, without the least apology or embarrassment.

die up and get word to me. Not Mrs. Pardee or Dillingham. Me! Savvy?” "1 can’t ride that far," he said unhappily. “Send Pablo then." He nodded, Relieved. “I’ll do that.” 1 fingered the blade of my knife. "If you tell Mathers or any of hie outfit that you sent word to me ... ” “I won't tell them," he said. "1 truly promise that 1 won’t." 1 closed my knife slowly and slipped it into my pocket, looking at Alton all the while. I turned and walked out into the cold, sweet air and mounted and rode up the creek. It was long after dark when 1 got home. Curly King heard me and came out of the bunkhouse, carrying a lantern. A few snowflakes whirled between us as he approached. “Say, you made a day of it, • Will," he said. “Mrs. Pardee is some worried.” “Pll go see her." “I’ll put your horse up. You best get into the house. She’s sure fretful." “Curly,” I said, "suppose a lot of settlers hit the vaiiey next spring. Not Just a half dozen like we’ve had, but say fifty or more. What will your dad and your neighbors do?” In the thin light that came through the smoke - blackened chimney of the lantern, 1 saw the worry that tightened his boyish face. Finally he said: 'Til help you fight, Will. You can count on me.” J grabbed his arm. "What about your dad and |he others?” He shook his head. 'They won’t fight. They know they won’t have no trouble in their end of the valley. The trouble will be here where there’s enough water for irrigation. You know how it is where Dad lives. Not even enough stock water sometimes." I let him go, then, and turned toward the house. I told myself I’d known all the time I couldn’t count on much help. ** When I went into the house, ' Sarah looked up from her sewing, relief a sudden light in her face. "Will, what» have you been doing? I’ve been worried." "What could happen to me?" I asked. “Worrying is a bad habit.” "I know," she said. “I’m selfish, I guess. I Just don't want to think of what would happen to me if you —” She stopped, bit* ing her lips; then she called, “Maria, Will’s back. Dish up his supper." I walked past Sarah Into the kitchen. 1 couldn't tell her Where I had been and what I had done. The die was cast. I couldn't back away from the Job I had assumed. 1 had made it too plain to Mathers. And I had made a deal with Coley Alton. (To Be Continued)

Hog Fanning Secrets Are Discussed On Tour

A few of the secrets of hog farming were discussed last week by Adams county farmers, 4-H pig club members, state 4-H leader Eric Holm, and county agent Leo N- Seltenright on the annual pig club tour. The tour got underway about 9:30 at the William Griffiths farm one and three-quarters miles south of Magley in Kirkland township. Keith Griffiths discussed his feeding program for his Hampshire boars. Holm, a state 4-H leader, added that generally pigs weighing from <0 to 100 pounds would feed best on one of the following rations: 65 lb. coarse ground shelled corn, 20 lb. coarse ground oats or wheat, and 15 lb. protein supplement; or, 55 lb. coarse ground shelled corn, 15 lb. coarse ground wheat 15 lb. coarse ground oats, 15 lb. protein supplement; or 55 lb. coarse ground corn, 30 lb. coarse ground oats, 15 lb protein supplement - Suitable rations for pigs weighing 100 to 225 pounds include 30 lbs. coarse ground shelled corn, 30 lb. coarse ground oats, 30 lb. coarse ground wheat, and 10 lbs. protein supplement; or, 60 lb. coarse ground shelled corn, 15 lb. coarse ground wheat, 15 lb. coarse ground oats, and 10 lb. protein supplement; or, 70 lb. coarse ground shelled corn, 20 lb. coarse ground oats, and 10 lb. protein supplement; or, 50 lb. coarse ground shelled corn, 30 lb coarse ground oats, 10 lb. coarse ground wheat, or 10 lb. protein supplement. The group then moved to the Paul Fuelling farm, where Donald and Max Fuelling showed their Chester White pigs. The four pigs were shown to the group and plainly numbered on their backs, and the 4-H boys and girls judged them, as they will be judged at the 4-H fair. After the judging was completed, Holm explained how he would, rank the animals, and dub members who judged them correctly were Don Ray, Junior Lanta, and Kenneth Selking. The top two pigs were both good, but one had bigger hams and was smoother sided than the other, and less open at the shoulder. Junior Lanta, last year's junior hog-judging champion at the county 4-H fair, explained a few paints on showmanship. The general location of a hog pen was discussed, with emphasis placed on plenty of shade so the animals can keep cool. Holm pointed out that the hotter the pen. the less the hog gains, and when the pen reaches 100 degrees, he stops gaining altogether. A cement floor stays cool, and pigs like it, he mentioned. The tour then moved down the road in Root township to the William Boerger farm. Here, Leroy,’ Cynthia and James had just penned their pigs, and Holm stated it would be a good time to try to practice showing them- Each entered the pen with a cane and practiced. Main points in showing the pig are to keep the pig moving to show his good points, and to keep the pig between the shower and judge. Elden Holsapple, county 4-H boys leader, then demonstrated his pighandling technique, which won him top honors at the Indiana state fair and at a Purdue university show. Holsapple recommended using a small, thin stick for showing. He spent an hour or two, he said, talking to his pig, so that it would know his voice. Then he used the stick to gently indicate where he wanted the pig to go, and never struck or poked at the animal. Trying his method on one or two of the Boerger pigs, Holsapple soon convinced the group that his method was effective, because he had little trouble in bringing the pigs under good control. 1 The problems of getting the pig ready to show, washing it, and cleaning it, were also discussed.
