W HAT HAS HAPPENED lang Stewart reacted characterlstieally when he detected a tur buyer cheating him: Ling hotly knocked down the trader and strode away. So now Ling was facing charges of felonious assault. He has to stand trial in the court at the county seat. Ling, a Virginia backwoodsman all his life, has no fears when in the wilds along Hobba Creek, but quails at the thought of venturing into a big settlement like Denbury, where at least 400 people live In the year 1860. His wife Ann realises that is the reason he has asked her to accompany him to court; he wants her along when he has to face so many strangers. It’s Ann's own first trip to a settlement in ages, and in spite of reason for fears of what may happen to Ling in court, and of disturbing talk of civil war. she in reveling in the experience. Ling, too, begins to enjoy his venture into town when the fair dealing of Judge Colin Campbell results in a verdict against the tur trader. William Bodine. Grateful. Ling buttonholes the judge outside the courthouse and the two become so engrossed in conversation about guns and shooting that Campbell forgets that his fiancee. Jeannie Dare, is awaiting him. She drives off in a huff. Colin is reminded sharply of another problem by talk of civil war. ... CHAPTER 5 pOLIN CAMPBELL left the x—- courthouse and strode toward the rig that awaited him, grinning suddenly at the sight of the middle-aged bay gelding standing patiently between the shafts of the trap. The sedate Dusty was not his notion of a proper horse. Still, he furnished a wholly proper means of transportation tor the judge of Denbury court. As soon as they were out ot Denbury on the River Road, Colin wrapped .the reins around the whipstock and let Dusty set his own pace. Every morning that court was in session Dusty took him there and every night returned him to his father’s home. He knew both his duty and the road and he could be trusted. Submerged in his own thoughts, Colin sat up straight and looked about him only when they came to the first view of Quail Wings. Built well back from the river, with shining glazed windows and huge stone chimneys, the house had an appearance of great age. Yet it was far from ancient Colin’s paternal grandfather, forced to leave the Tidewater because wasteful agriculture bad ruined his plantation, had copied the house he left behind and modified it only as the more rugged western climate demanded. The house at Tidewater had, in turn, been a copy of the ancestral home in England. Nearing it, Colin felt the warmth that always flooded him at the sight of this beloved home, . . >■ i Os his own accord, Dusty swung into the drive lined with poplars and broke into a phlegmatic trot as Colin leaped from the trap. Dusty would go on to the stables where one of the boys would take care of him. Admitted ihto the house by William, the doorman, Colin made his way down the hall k to the study which in recent years

economists are receiving questions about whether participation in the 1959 conservation reserve of the soil bank will benefit farmers. Here are some of the questions and answers: Q. Will going into the soil bank interfere with my social security program? A. The payments from the soil bank will be treated the same your income from farming. If you completely retire, soil bank payments will be considered as rent and will not interfere with your social security payments. However, if you are only partly retired and continue to keep some livestock, the soil bank payment will be considered as farm income and will reduce your social security payment if your to|al earned income exceeds $1,200 a year. Q. I amU part-time farmer, operating 40 acres and holding down a job in town. I usually get about 50 bushels of corn an acre and other yields in proportion. My tools are about worn out. Will the soil bank help me? A. Because your farm operation is small, the overhead costs of owning and operating equipment are quite high. It would probably pay you to rent your fields to a neighbor instead of farming them yourself even though there were no soil bank. However, the soil bank probably will pay you higher returns than you can get from rental. Q. How can I figure whether the soil bank will help me? A. Count up the estimated income you would get from the farm if you operate it yourself. Then subtract from the gross income the costs of seed, fertilizer, fuel and machinery repair - these are costs that can definitely be saved by participation in the soil bank. Generally speaking, these costs amount to about sl6 an acre. This will give you a quick guess as to whether or not you can profit by participating. If f you place your entire farm in the program you can make an additional $8 an acre saving by selling your equipment, thus avoiding depreciation, taxes, insurance and interest on the investment in that equipment. o o Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE O O Spots Spots and stains can be remov-

had become a refuge for his father. In his mid-seventies, Ralph Campbell looked with haughty disdain upon the effete younger generation. He could, he declared loudly and often, ride better, shoot straighter, dance longer and more gracefully, and drink more whiskey than either of his sorus or, for that matter, anyone else’s. There was no foundation whatever for the first three statements, but there was no question whatever about the latter boast. Colin knocked on the closed door and heard his father say, “Who is it?” "Colin." “Come in, boy." Colin entered softly, partly out of respect for his father and partly because the room always impressed him. Book shelves were filled with titles ranging from The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius in Latin to the latest treatises on crop and animal husbandry. One wall was given solely to the portrait of Edith Campbell, and as always happened when he entered the study, Colin’s eyes sought his dead mother’s image. That she had been lovely was obvious; no artist could have put such beauty down on canvas if it had not been present for him to capture. Her blonde hair was piled high on her head with a stray ringlet, probably the artist’s ’ touch, curled demurely about her right ear. Her features were delicate, almost fragile, but with a • marked inner strength. Her eyes 1 were gentle, but they held depth ! and perception. This portrait and 1 his father’s rare references were - all that Cohn knew of his mother. : She had died when he was a few ' months old. Colin turned to face his father, : who, as usual, sat behind the • desk. Ralph Campbell’s face, > though flushed and aged’ now, 1 mirrored what he had been when 5 young. His hair was iron-grey, • but it had been very dark. He was , bushy-browed, firm of jaw, proud, 1 intelligent and stubborn. Colin ! noted the half-empty bottle and . the partially filled glass on the - desk, but, though he was sure , that excess in both food and drink - had a direct connection with his 1 father’s ill health, he said noth--1 ing. Nobody had ever made this - proud old man do anything he 1 didn’t feel like doing and nobody s was going to start now. , “I’m glad you’re here, Colin." s Ralph Campbell tapped a folded t paper on the desk. “I’ve just had 1 a letter from Macklyn. He has 1 resigned his commission and is coming home with Betsie and the I children before Christmas." s Colin was stunned. Macklyn, t his senior by a dozen years, held i. a colonel’s rank in the United s States Army and had devoted e himself to a military career as e wholeheartedly as Colin had emi, braced the law. "Resigned! 1 Why?" he said. b "As a loyal Southerner, he will

not serve under the command ot Abraham Lincoln,” his father answered. Colin thought that Julius Caesar might have referred to some barbaric Gallic chieftain in the same contemptuous tone. "Why else?” “I tjiink he’s being very foolish,” Cohn said firmly. “Foolish ?” the elder Campbell bristled. "Foolish, when these scallywag Yankees are plotting in every evil way to humble the South and reduce her to servitude? Do you believe a Campbell should continue to serve an army that will be hurled against the South when those money-mad schemers think the time is ripe?” “Be reasonable, Father. The South is not without its moneymad schemers, some of whom see secession as the perfect way to wiggle out of their debts up north.” Ralph Campbell ignored this remark. “The South has conceded all she can and retain honor. These blasted Yankees need to be taught their places.” Colin sighed. They had been over this same ground many times before, and Ralph Campbell had not yielded an inch. He would not yield now, and further argument would solve nothing. But Colin decided grimly that he wouldn’t yield either. His father looked at him searchi ingly. “Well?" “What do yod expect me to say?” * “Where do you stand?” ; "You know very well—not with i secession and certainly not with I war.” ■ “But if war comes ?” ‘lf war comes—l don't know,” ’ Colin said slowly. “I don’t know.” Ralph Campbell sat in silence. , Colin had never before admitted > the possibility that his devotion , to the Union, his belief that siav- , ery should be abolished, his coni viction that the South must event- , ually build its economy on free s labor were stronger than his love , for his family, his region, his i state. The time for argument 1 had ended. ; “You think I am unreasonable," » Ralph Campbell said quietly. *1 t think you are without feeling. If s events continue as they have been . going, there won’t be room tor 3 both of us at Quail Wings.” » Father and son gazed at each / other across the desk. “You are asking me to take a stand on a ’ situation that may never* arise,” 1 Colin said finally. “I hope to God i it doesn’t” s The father gave way. “I hope s not,” he muttered, lowering his e eyes. Colin rose and left the room, i, Colin was in no mood to patch 1 up a lover’s quarrel as he rode i his favorite stallion, Robin, i through the autumn twilight to s Jeannie Dare’s: His thoughts - were on his father’s words, “There ! won’t be room for both of us at Quail Wings.” 1 (To Be Continued/

Secret Os Youth Is Work-82-Year-Old 82-Year-Old Coed At New York U. By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPl>—The secret of youth? Work, says an 82-year-old coed at New York University. The words of wisdom come from Mrs. Else Koepke, undoubtedly one of the oldest students returning to any campus this fall and also undoubtedly one of the youngest. “I have always had work to to do,” said the sprightly, German born Mrs. Koepke. “A Iwa y s around the house ... I still do all my own cleaning and cooking. I used to have a big garden, but since living in an apartment I cannot do that anymore. “I am blessed with good health; otherwise I could not do all the things I still do. I did setting-up exercises every morning of my life... I gave them up at 75." Leads Own Life Mrs. Koepke, born in Berlin, grew up in Hamburg where she was married and then moved to Bremen where she lived until her husband’s death in the middle 1940’5. She came to the United States 10 years ago, at the invitation of a daughter, Mrs. Eva* Opton, one of her two living children. A son and daughter were lost in World War 11. “But before I came, I insisted I should have my own life,” said Mrs. Koepke in an interview. “I have an apartment quite near my daughter, so I have a family and my own life too.” She also has become a citizen. Mrs. Koepke has been taking courses in her great “love” —literature—at NYU’s Division of General Education virtually ever since she arrived. Youngest In Class "If open-mindedness and enthusiasm —are characteristics of the young, then Mrs. Koepke is the youngest student in class,” said Prof. Nathan Teitel, who taught her last year. Said Mrs. Koepke: “I will go to school as long as my mental and physical capacities hold out. Going to school keeps you young too.” This fall, Mrs. Koepke, who has 16 grand and great-grandchildren, enrolled in an afternoon course in which she will review works already familiar to her—reading Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, and other “greats” of literature. She

TV Cartoon Films Strictly Censored Cartoon Characters Closely Censored By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Real actors can swear, get drunk, beat women and commit murder before the TV cameras, but cartoon characters—innocent little rabbits, birds and dogs — are the most strictly censored performers in history. Walter Lantz, creator of Woody Woodpecker and a dozen other cartoons, has daily battles with the blue pencil boys to prevent Woody from corrupting the morals of youthful televiewers. “It’s getting worse every year,” says the mild-mannered cartoonist. “Violence is the basis of cartoon humor, now they’re cutting it out. “The same audience that watches our Woody show tunes in on ‘Wyatt Earp’ and other westerns and horror shows. The heroes can drink redeye whisky, but Woody isn’t allowed to drink cider. “And that’s not all. We can’t

show a cow's udders. All dialects are censored and that old standby, the navel, is taboo. “Most of the films on our show were seen in theaters years ago. But they are strictly censored for TV. “For instance, one of our sixminute cartoons depicted a grasshopper chewing tobacco and spitting. Network censors said it was bad for kids, so we were forced to hack out six scenes showing
