ONCE UPON JUNE 18th
There is no more beautiful monu
ment in all the world, of course, than
laj Mahal, where lies all that is mot
tal of Mumtaz-i-Mahal, who died 307
years ago today at. the ag\j of 31. She
had borne 14 children in 15 years to
Shah Johan (King of the World)
ruler of most of India, whose only
wife she was.
He had the magnificent structura
built, at * a cost the equivalent of
$10,000,000, to show the world how
much he loved his wife. Yet, had he
been a little more considerate of her
while she lived she might have lived
at least as much longer as it took to
complete her memorial—l7 years.
The Shah told the designer, whose
name is unknown otday, that he
wanted the building so perfect an
architectural achievement that it
could never be excelled. But when
it was completed, fully deserving of
the title of the most beautiful build
ing in the world, the Shah made
plans for the construction of a grand
er memorial to himself.
His plans came to naught. For his
favorite son locked up the Shah as a
madman for spending so much money
on Taj Mahal, the tribute to the boy s
own mother.

ANSWERS.
1. They were outraged at the policy
of President Rutherford B. Hayes to
ward the Southern States. When this
policy was put in effect Republican
leaders realized the futility of attempt
ing a campaign and refused to put out
a ticket.
2. When the first organized colony
was established in 1163 each settler
was allowed fifty acres for himself
and a like amount for each person
!he brought into the colony. He was
obliged to pay an annual quit rent
of a half penny per acre.
3. The battle of Camden, August 16.
1780, was one of the most disastrous
to the American cause of the whole
Revolutionary War. The casualty list
among the North Carolina militia
alone amounted to over 400 in the
killed, wounded and captured.

UNITED STATES SENATOR
.
Editor’s Note —With the adjourn
ment of Congress, Senator Reynolds
will discontinue his weekly column
until the next session is convened in
January. The Senator has asked that
we give to readers his sincere appre
ciation for the interest shown in his
effort to keep them informed with
regard to Congressional developments
f •• •, ......
As the thira* session of the seventy
fifth Congress comes to a close in
an eventful election year, it is already
evident that the seventy-sixth Con
gress convening next January will be
of vital importance to the country. In
some respects, it may even surpass
from the standpoint of legislative po
licies, the sessions of the last two
years. p
There are many reasons for such
a viewpoint. Farm legislation enact
ed this year will have undergone the
test of actual application, and it will
be apparent whether it wili answer
the needs of the farmer or require re
vision. The country wUI knew move
about the wage and hour bill being
pushed through the Congress as this
column is written. Reorganization of
Federal agencies will, no doubt, again
be to the forefront. The so-called
“nuisance taxes,” inclndinv the Fed
eral gasoline tax and other excise
levies on automobiles and automotive
parts and accessories, will expire in
1939 and consideration must be given
to reenactment or aowing them to ex
pire.
In fact, al indications point tc
wholesome revision of the tax struc
ture and there is some hope for the
elimination of duplicate taxes now
imposed by thp Federal government
and by the states. In addition, it now
seems likely that full consideration
will be given to the financial pro
blems confronting the railroads.
To these and other questions of im
portance at home, must be added the
all-important matter of foreign poli
cies. Events in Europe will undoubt
ly reach the point during the next
few weeks where we may expect new
difficulties or an easing of the war
tension. Neutrality and embargo pro-,
grams may have to be revised in a
new effort to keep the United States
from becoming a party to foreivn en
tanglements.
'Equally as important is the general
decline abroad of treaty and agree
ment values. “Unofficial wars,” such
as are now being waged, hold all the
horror of declared war and can only
be halted by the weight of world op
inion.
Last, but not least, is- the item of
"THE PROVING GROUND"
(TO PROVE WHAT?)
emergency erpenditures. Unless there
is some upturn in general business
conditions and employment, the next
Congress will be faced with impor
tant decisions as to what extent the
Federal government shall provide re
lief and “pump-priming” funds. It is
already apparent that new and in
creased revenue will be required if
more billions are appropriated in the
CHAPTER 35
, BUCKSHOT BROWN wouldn’t
enter Ellen’s Casa Hermosa much,
after she moved in. He had helped
j build it, but when the paint and the
j“trimmin’s” were all on, he was
shy of the place, sensing that an
uncouth old hillbilly such as he
was out of place there.
However, a day or two after the
cattle herd arrived, Ellen invited
Mr. Brown formally to dinner.
Dinner at seven. To save his soul,
he could think of no way to refuse!
Right after breakfast that day
he began preparing himself for the
ordeal. He bathed out in the open
stream up in a canyon, notwith
standing a temperature that morn
ing of approximately 48 degrees.
He paid a Mexican girl a dollar to
come to his new rock cottage and
press the only suit of clothes he
owned. He labored at trimming
his bristly whiskers, for the first
time in at least 12 months. He
borrowed a necktie from Doctor
Bill Baron, paid a devilish cowboy
a quarter to tie it, and finally saw
Ellen herself re-tie it when he ven
tured in that night and glowed un
der her compliments.
Bill had refused to attend the
dinner, saying he was jealous of
Mr. Brown. And so, just for fun,
Ellen put on all the style possible
for Uncle Buckshot. He sat as
straight as a soldier; with his
knife shoveled peas, potatoes,
meat, salad and bread sopped in
gravy, relinquishing that favorite
“tool” only when the Mexican girl
took it away and gave him a shiny
spoon with his ice cream.
“Fust ice cream I’ve had since
I was in Phoenix,” the old-timer
ventured, happy to see the deli
cacy.
"When was that, Uncle Buck
shot?” asked Ellen. “I didn’t
know you had been away any.”
“A-humps. It was a right smart
while back, when President Har
ding come through th’ west,
ma’am.”
“Oh!”
An hour or so after dinner, as
they sat in the deep chairs before
her fireplace, conversation im
proved. it is hard to maintain un
accustomed formality in the soft
glow of a fire, with a sweet and
friendly girl to talk to. Before he
quite realized it, old Buckshot was
fathering Ellen again, giving her
advice which she couldn’t have
bought with all her money.
Inevitably the talk got around to
personal matters, including affairs
of the heart.

As a result of the developments

' RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION
“What l need is a ring on my
finger# Anyway that’s what I
want. But I feel now that it’s
hopeless, Uncle Buckshot. I am
much younger than he, for one
thing. He babies me around as he
would a little sister! When he
gives me any attention at all. Do
you believe in omens, Uncle Buck
shot? Do you believe in frogs?”
“How’s thet? Frogs?”
She smiled, but didn't explain.
“I was just pretending. Better
skip it, I suppose. Anyway it’s
all right. I like having a big
brother, too, and I can be happy
just being near him. Honest I
can.”
Mr. Brown was good to talk to;
a mellowed old man wise in spite
of his exterior appearance, he an
swered the need for a confidante
that every person feels. He
thanked her and went away at
9:30 o’clock, which late hour
amounted to downright dissipation
for him.
Outside, he noted a light still
burning in Bill Baron’s quarters.
Bill had caused a two-room apart
ment to be erected for himself ad
jacent to the bunkhouse where the
cowboys slept. He ate with them
in the adobe cook shack, or from
the chuck wagon or campfire pots
when they. were working on the
range. Buckshot went ever now
and tapped on his door.
Young man and old sat together
for half an hour, chinning. Bill
was deep in plans for a new series
of cattle feeding tests, and anxious
to discuss them. He was physical
ly tired tonight because the day in
the saddle had been a hard one,
but he would always talk.
“Things look swell to me, Buck
shot. I have arranged with the
university to extend the feeding
tests in spring. They will send
an expert down here next week to
remain for six months or more.
They want to experiment on some
new • concentrates, including' an
irradiated grain and cottonseed
meal mixture. If their plan works,
it means a new market for
farmers’ products, and cheaper
and better cattle feed for ranchers
plus a higher steer health ratio
due to vitamin increase.”
“Sounds like you’re coddlin’
steers, Doc. Why, my old pappy—”
“I know, I know; your pappy
scoffed at college teaching, thought
a cow was a cow and destined only
to rough it through, live or starve.
But that isn’t scientific, nor sensi
ble under modem standards. Ellen
Dale is already getting a, name for
herself because of the tests the
Dale-Durango has made. Why,
Buckshot, this big McKnight ranch
in Texas wrote me they have al
ready profited by one simple little
formula evolved right here, and
this ranch isn’t three months old
yet! The Dale-Durango is finan
cing experiments that nobody has
ever been awe to do before, or in
terested enough. Not even the
colleges. Don’t you see ? It can
be worth millions to the industry!”
Except in a general way the talk
views may be weighed when legisla
tive policies and programs are for
mulated.

went over Ephriam Brown’s head.
Wise enough to realize his knowl
edge was limited, he encouraged
Bill to keep on. Younger men had
to make progress; the old order
must go. It is an immutable law
of living. However, he poked a
gnarled finger at Bill and spoke
again now.
“But lissen to me, young Doc, I
been up to Ellen’s for supper. Din
ner, she called it, by dads! Never
et so much in all my days. But
she ain’t rightly as happy as she
oughta be, seems to me. She’s
stuck off away out here in these
hills when by rights she’s a city
woman. And they ain’t no other
young people her age at hand. Are
you content just to work for her,
and never go in for no finer senti
ments?”
Bill grinned, but it was more of
a sad grin than a happy one.
“Buckshot, I work here because
the pay is good and because I can
be near her. But a hundred dol
lars a week, which I get, is nothing
compared to her hundreds of thou
sands.”
“It’d be yours if you married
her.”
Bill glared at the old man then,
his eyes flashing. It was answer
enough.
“Yeamp, I know how you feel,
damn if I don’t,” Buckshot ad
mitted, rising to go. “Keep plug
ging, son. Something likely’U turn
up.”
He and Bill both were in bed
within another half hour. Bill ad
mitted to himself, when Buckshot
was gone, that Ellen needed more
friends, more social outlets. But
he was honestly afraid to provide
them for her. No matter how he
arranged it, young men would be
sure to discover Ellen Dale and
make love to her, and that thought
appalled him.
All at once it dawned on him
that he had been guilty of high
selfishness. Unable or unwilling to
make love to her himself, he had
established her in an isolated part
of Arizona, secretly delighted that
she was away from such suave
suitors as Sidney Bromberg and
others in Hollywood. He felt that
time might indeed turn up some
thing, as Buckshot had said, but
he didn’t know what. Meantime
he had been careful to keep him
self extremely busy with his job,
lest he brood about the matter, or
do something he would regret.
He heard an automobile engine
—probably some cowboy coming
back from town—but paid it no
attention. He lay there trying to
think but too fatigued to avoid
mental confusion, and was just
drifting into first sleep when a
strange scund assailed him.
It was a faint sound, but foreign
to this place, at this hour.
It was music, guitar music, from
somewhere in the direction of El
len s home. Bill raised on his el
bow to listen.
Presently there was singing too,
soft distant singing, a man’s voice
in the night.
