SearcJi For New Anthem
Chicago, April 21.—A new national
anthem, great enough to take a place
beside “The Star Sjmngled Banner,"
has not yet been found, the National
Federation of Music dubs announced
today.
A contest, in which nearly 1.000
manuserips were entered from every
state in the union. Alaska, Hawaii.
England. India and France failed to
produce, a melody of sufficient merit
to provide music to carry the famous
poem of Katherine Lee Bates, “Am
ercia, the Beautiful.”
Three nationally known music crit
ics, Dr. Frank Damrooch. of New York,
Frederick S. Converse, of Boston, and
Dean Peter K. Lufkin, of Evanston,

ACHED ALL OVER
Was Suffering Dreadfully, Jut
“Wasting Away.” look
Cardui, and Says It
Helped Hot.
Arlington, Texas.—A resident of
rtyis town for many years, Mrs. J. H.
Jackson, says:
"I had suffered dreadfully with an
aching all over my body. At timea
my head would give me so much
trouble I could hardly stand it. 1
had been in bed for weeks and it
looked like I was just wasting away.
"I took 9 bottles of Cardui and my
strength began to slowly return.
"Since that time I have used this
medicine a good many times and it
has always helped me.
"At one time I took Cardui for
several months regularly. I would
be afflicted with sudden spells oi
dizziness when I could not stand on
my feet. Everything would turn
black before my eyes and I would
feel as if I were going to faint. At
times I would be quite nauseated. 1
turned at once to Cardui and took
it till I was safely through.”
Cardui is a mild, medicinal tonic,
made from purely vegetable ingredi
ents. It has been in use for over £0
years, and in that time thousands
of women have written that Cardui
helped them back to good health.

About Young Calves.
Monroe Enquirer.
One day this week a dairyman asked
me what he should do with his young
calves. He said he had several nice
young heifers which be did not want
to sell to the butchers for venl and
on the other hand eould not afford to
keep them.
Knowing these calves to be of good
Jersey strain, and at most would bring
only .$4 or $5 each if converted into
veal, it appeared us if economic waste
would result if the young animals were
slaughtered. But that is just what
has oeeurred hen' in Union county for
the jiast several years. There has
been great demand for milk cows at
high prices, n result of slaughtering
calves which has made milk cows
scarce.
There are numerous farms practical
ly lying as waste lands which today
could be converted into cattle farms
at a profit, provided these farms were
sown in grasses and hay crops with
which to feed cattle. A calf pur
chased for $5 within two or three
years may readily be sold for S4O to
SSO. But there would be no profit
if cheap foodstuff eould not be had
in abundance.
The same thing applies to mules.
Last fall fairly good plug mules could
have been purchased of farmers for
$25 to SSO each. Six mouths later,
or this spring, these same mules were
worth $75 to $125. Nutritious hay
was the only thing needful for some
one to have "mopped up.” And the
same Condition obtains here in Union
county year after year.
The Jersey Skeeter.
A certain theatrical troupe, after a
dreary and unsuccessful tour, finally
arrived in a small New Jersey town.
That night, though there was no
furore or general uprising of the au
dience, there was enough hand-clapping
to arouse the company's dejected
spirits. The leading man ste|«ped to
the footlights after the first act ami
bowed profoundly. Still the clapping
continued.
When he went behind the scenes he
saw aii Irish stage-hand laughing
heartily. “Well, what do you think of
that''" asked the actor.
“What d’ye mane?" replied the
Irishman. -
“Why, the hand-clapping out there,”
was the reply.
“Yes.” said the player, ‘they are
giving me enough applause to show,,
they apreciate me.”
“D’ye call that applause?” inquired
the old fellow. “Whoi, that’s not ap-.
plan sc. That’s the audience killing,
mosquitoes.”

CHAPTER VlM—Continued
Luke bit his lip. “Out In —out
Arlsony way," he answered, stam
mering. "Ed PowelL pardner o’
mine, struck oil an’ staked his
claim. Jest need capital, an' 1 come
to Mr*. Monroe right off, seein’ as
we always been sech good friends.
We was willin’,” he said, more easi
ly, “tuh help her run th’ ranch, tuh
show our good feelln'. Now, o’
course, that yuh’ve come back,
that’s out,” he finished hastily.
"Yes,” agreed Fred, “that’s out
. . Well, Mr. Burlingame, I don’t
think we can do anythin’ for yuh,”
he continued quietly. “No hard
fee tin’s?” He handed back the cer
tificate.
Ole Luke stared angrily at it,
Een snatched it and flung It from
m. He tottered to his feet, glnr
g at Mrs. Monroe.
“This th’ way ynh treat me—
after I’ve worried so much over
yore money? That’s gratitude, that
is!” he snarled.
Fred pushed him gently away
from Mrs. Monroe, sitting surprised
and troubled in her chair.
“None o’ that,” he said easily.
“Yuh’re a bad loser, Burlingame.
Jest check out. an’ we’ll forget Ml
about it”
Lake glared at him, white faced,
then his Ups curled Into a sneer.
“Yuh’re a Eae one tuh talk,” he
grated. “How do we know yuh’re
her son? Yuh might be jest a slick
hot or cold
“Ju*t a minute. Mr. Burlingame.’' June stood in the doorway.
arpok—yuh don’t look honest tuh
me, an’ I sure oughts know a crook
when I see one!”
Mrs. Monroe started up In pro
test Fred stepped back, Uvld.
They’d caught him 1
“Kindly leave my house, Banker
Burlingame,” said Mrs. Monroe
firmly. “You are insulting!”
As old Luke stepped forward,
trembling with rage, Steve Burlin-
game’s cold voice broke in for the
first time. "Mebbe yuh’re wrong,
dad,” he dald softly. “Ain't got no
call tuh make a man out a crook
ami ess yuh got reason fer It Et
this maa is Mrs. Monroe’s eon,
there’s away tuh prove it!”
He rose aad stepped forward,
smiling evilly. Old Luke stopped,
grinned, shook with laughter, look
ing down at the Umply-hanglng
right hand of Fred.
“Sure,” he said, chuckUng. “Es
rnh’re Fred Monroe, what about
that scar yuh’re supposed tuh
have on yore right hand?” Before
Fred oould protest he snatched at
the hand and held It gingerly np to
Mis. Monroe’s eyes.
"There!” he screamed. “There
ain’t a mark on It Yuh've been
hoodwinked, Wldder! Stevie, hoy,
‘phone tor th’ Sheriff!” Giggling,
chuckling, dancing evilly around,
-he anddenly stopped, frozen, as a
Voice from the doorway said cold
if'
"Just a minute, Mr. Burlingame.
You’re harking up the wrong tree.”
June stood resolutely In the door
way, with Buddy directly behind
her.
CHAPTER IX
THE LAST STRAW
Jane advanced into the room bo
fere Lake’s goggling eyes, and,
lashing a contemptuous glance at
the surprised Steve, pot her erm
lovingly about Fred’s waist He
stiffened under her touch, his heart
pounding, miserable. For a mo
ment ho had almost breathed thank
folly, glad that bis deception waa
discovered, nipped in the hod be
fore he could wreak any harm.
Now—what?
"Too just eecosst my brother of
t height sever own
i 55» by a counter-accuzatlon
that scar.” k ~
thinkable —In some way he had
hoped to effect the financial ruin of
his mother’s murderer’s kin. Thlagd
had not gone as he had foreseen;
the Monroes had not been mon
sters, but people of unusual kind*
ness and sweetness. From the mo
ment of his arrival he . had felt
vaguely that his plans were doom
ed to failure—and had battled with
his feeling of gladness at the
thought In the past day he had
never once thought of the soar.
It was all such a mess. ...
Weary, tired, beaten, confused,
Fred Blake stood with June Mon*
roe’s arm about his waist and heard
dimly her clear, fresh voice defend
ing him.
"Fred is my brother. Any honest
person can see that he’s genuine
noble —and true. But if you want
to knox about that scar ... it
was just a newspaper story! My
brother never had a scar, and bei
fore we could correct the—the
newspapers—he was found —and
here he is!”
Steve and Luke Burlingame*
stared at her foolishly.
“We’re proud to belong to him—*
we—love him! Does that satisfy
you? Now I think you’d better go.
I’m sure you won’t want to eomg
back again.”
Silently the Burllngames left
They said nothing, but mounted
their horses and rode away. Ola
Luke's face was a study.
“This danged long-lost son bust,
ness has spoiled everythin’. We
gotta get rid o’ him somehow!" hq
muttered. “How wuz I tub know
he never had a scar? It wus yore
fault anyhow, yuh good-fer-nothln*
tramp!” he snarled, whirling 09
Steve, who was jobbing disgustedly
along. “What’d yuh want to men*'
don it fer?”
“Aw, lemme alone!" said Steve,
growling. “Can’t yuh even rob a
widder without my help?” Luke
glared. They quarreled all the way
to Sierra, where they had the pleas-
ant task of informing Ed Powell,
who was hasty with his gun, of the
events of the morning.
As the Burllngames trooped ont
of the living-room, Mrs. Monroe,
white-faced, bewildered, looking
from Fred to June, opened her
mouth to cry out Before she could
utter a word June gently sedd, tak
ing her by the arm:
“Won’t you come into the hall
with me a moment mother? I’ve
something Important to say to yon.
Excuse ns, Fred.” Fred, too hunk
bled and beaten to protest, sank
onto the sofa and took his head
between his hands. June and Mrs.
Monroe went out-
Buddy had watched the whole
scene with great saucer eyes. When
Fred had been accused of decep
tion he had clenched his flats, but
had said notiiing with the instinc
tive breeding of a little man and a
good Boy Scout, allowing his alders
to do the talking. Now he went
softly over to Fred and stood awk
wardly before him.
“Fred,” he said hesitantly.
Fred looked wearily up. He
smiled wanly when he saw the em
barrassment of the boy, and made
room lor him on the sofa beside
him.
“What’s the trouble, Baddy, old
scout?” he asked, tiredly.
Baddy swallowed hard. "I—l
was aorta disappointed yah 4MnT

mered. "Didn’t yuh feel like it,
Fred?" He regarded the big man
anxiously.
“Why—no, Baddy."
