The spark plan were, out," groaned Romero. "But I eared the suitcase." "O. K. Hold 'em off. IH get rid ot If He picked np the case and hur ried into the kitchen. Mary followed him. fascinated by the cold, hard, murderous look on hla face. "Don! What is ttt" she pleaded. Without deigning to answer, Wil son pushed her aside. Then he picked np a can ot kerosene and poured some ot the liquid on the ! banked fire of the barbecue pit Flames leaped np, throwing a weird light over every thing. As Mary stared, he opened the suit ease. It was filled with bonds and he started cramming handsful ot them In the fire. Some fell on the floor. A bullet came through the wall, knocking down the cooking utensils. "Keep down!" grated Wilson as he shOTed the girl to the floor with one hand and thrust more bonds into the fire with the other. A loud fusilade ot machine gun fire came from the road. When It was ended, they heard Joe scream ing in pain. "Don! They got me ... In the leg," be called. Wilson, his face working savage ly. continued to burn the damning bonds. All Mary could do as the buV lets rained through the walls was to watch her lover dully. As Joe continued to yell, Don stood up disgustedly and tossed the suitcase to Mary. "Here!" he said In a voice she did not know. "Burn those bonds! And don't ask any questional' As he spoke he threw open bis coat and, with a quick, sudden movement, whipped out two automatics from his shoulder holsters. Mary watched him unbelleTlngly. The very sight ot him suddenly ter rorised her. She moved away, bnt returned, held Ilk a bird before snake. This was a face she'd never seen ... face she couldn't recog nise. She acted as tf she .had not heard him, standing Immobile, like something paralysed, as he Jerked open the door to the front room and hurried out to help his companion. "Come onl" he commanded as he entered the restaurant "Out the back way, Joe, before they close In I " "Toull hate to help mel" groaned his pal, who was lying on the floor, writhing In pain, and yet exchang ing shot for shot with the govern ment men outside. 'It's my leg." 4 r Remember everything I told you, kid." Don, his face savage and ruthless, was speaking again. "And don't double-cross me. . . ." Wilson, who had been firing meth odically out the front door, stopped at Joe's words. Then he moved back toward the kitchen. The other saw from his expression that he was going to make his escape . . . alone. "Don't leave me, Don," he screamed, struggling to rise. "Don't let the G-guys get me. Ill squeal be fore they give me the chair so help me, Til squeaL" "No, yon won't!" A look ot fiend ish killer lust came over Wilson's face. He grabbed Joe's revolvers and shoved them into his belt Then he lowered one of his own weapons. "Don't . . . don't!" The fearful agonised cry was cut short by the explosion of an automatic. Joe writhed once more, then lay still. "That will keep you from squeal ing," sneered Don as ne retremei Into the kitchen where Mary, win had heard every word of that awfu conversation sat crouched on thi floor beside the flaming barbecw Realising that the girl was In i dase, Wilson shook, her roughly. "If yon love me." he rasped "you'll keep burning those bonds.' A bullet crashed through the wld window. Realising that the Q-mei were spreading out he snarled am flred back. Then he leaped to th back door, threw it open and turner back to Mary. "Listen!" He gestured wildly wltt his guns. "Keep your mouth shut! Don't talk and they, can't do a thln to you." Petrified by fear, Mary hard!) heard him. Her whole world wai crashing cra2ily around her . . . th smashing bulieti . . . the cracklliu bonds . . . Jo dead! "R emembe i everything I lok you, kid." Don his face savagi and ruthless was speanlni again. "Ant don't double cross me ... I love you!" In a flash guns spitting it both hands, b leaped througt the doorway. A moment latei that darknesi was turned lnt full daylight ai the federal men set off a para chute Care. "He's out tbi back! There h is!" shouted tb( officers as they caught sight of Wtl son zigzagging toward the trees 1e an attempt to dodge bullets. A voile) of shots was fired after him but hi kept going. A few minutes later the G-men crowded Into the front room et th "Coffee Pot" to find Joe lying In a pool of blood. "Too bad It's not Wilson." said the man In charge disgustedly. In the kitchen they found Mary, In a daze ot emotion, still crouched on the floor, looking In the direction In which Wilson had fled. She was un conscious ot the fact that she had retained hold of some ot the bonds. The leader snatched the papers from her. "That'll be enough of that sister," he said. "Now coma along with us." (To be continued) Take Care Of Chicks To Succeed With Hens The future success of the poultrv flock depends a great deal upon the care and management of i;rov.'ir.g chicks in the spring. Give them proper care, said Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College, and they will grow into strong, vigorous, profitable birds. Some of the fundamentals to ob serve while the chicks are young were pointed out as follows: Do not overcrowd. See that there are not more than two chicks for each square foot of floor space in the brooder house. Provide two half -gallon drinking founts for each 100 chicks. One five-foot mash hopper will be enough for each 100 c'.J l.s during the first three wcks. From the age of three weeks until they reach broiler size, each 100 chicks should have two mash hoppers four inches high, six inches wide, nnd five feet long. Inadequate leeding and drinking facilities is one of the worst faults in poyltry raising. Have adequately controlled venti lation. More chicks are killed or weakened by overheating1 than by chilling. Keep the feed hoppers filled with a well balanced mash. Aim to have the chicks consuming about equal parts of mash and scratch feed at the sixth week. Maintain rigid sanitation. Cull all slow developing: birds. These seldom "come through" and prove profitable. When the weather permits, sret the chicks out on the ground. A great deal of benefit is gained from Sunshine, green feed, and fresh air. animals. For good producers a min eral mixture composed of equal parts of finely ground limestone and steamed bone meal should be added to the concentrate ration at the rate of 2 pounds of minerals to each 100 pounds of ratit. This, together t i te mirerals carried in the hay rr-i'r. will enable the cow to re place the calcium and phosphate tak en from her body by heavy milk pro duction. Question: What keeps my broil ers from feathering out as they should ? Answer: Early feathering is usu allv inherited, but the failure to feather is influenced to some extent by temperature, humidity, and diet. Overheating and lack cf humidity will retard the feathering process ar.d if the ration is materially lack ing in certa:n minerals and in pro t"i. pcor fathering will result- Check the ration carefully and make "orrections, if necessary, so that the birds will get a balanced diet with tho necessary minerals. Gets the Crowd T Timely Questions On I Farm Answered - Question: Should minerals be add ed to the ration of a dairy cow? Answer: Home-grown feeds do not supply enough calcium and phos phorous and it is necessary that a good mineral mixture be provided, especially for growing and breeding Ouestionr How much lespedeza seed should be used an acre when sown on small grain? Answer: When broadcast at least one bushel (25 pounds) of seed should be used to the acre. The seed should be covered lightly. If the seed are drilled in, less seed is re quired. The drill should be set to run very shallow and the seed may be mixed with superphosphate, basic slag or ground limestone. A good stand of lespedeza is necessary for best results and a few extra pounds of seed to the acre will more than pay for the seed in hay or soil improvement.

'f'y-: , Ajt A rOccupjttois fsMisMi'n I I New goil Program To ; Check Overproduction The primary objective of the hew soil conservation, and domestic allot ment act is the v;ise. use of land, but its ultimate objectives are more far reaching. : ;- '."'. "By conserving our soil resources raid putting onr land to better use," sa.a ueaa i, Uk.; tjcnaHp, oi , oiut College, "we hope that the production of basic farm commodities will be held in check." Under the hew plan, he said, it will not be possible to control i the crop production of individual' farms; as under the AAA, but it is believed the program will tend to prevent se rious overproduction and, its conse quent demoralization of prices. The act provides ' for government grants to farmers for growing erosion-control and soil-building crops such as legumes and grasses rather than soil-depleting cash crops. Any farmer who wishes to improve his land, and shows evidence that he follows the provisions of the pro pram, will be eligible for compensa tion from the government, thd eean added. It was realized, he explained, that many farmers could not afford to re duce their cash crops and increase their grasses and legumes without some financial aid. The basis on which the payments will be made have not been deter mined at present, he continued, but it will probably constitute several methods so that the payments will be as equitable as possible to all growers. Special consideration is being giv en the small farmer in view of the fact that many felt the old AAA failed in' some respects to give him an equal break with the large planter. Develop Strong Bee Colonies In Spring A bee colony that grows strong and healthy in the spring will be in a cood nosition to pather larce quantities of honey when the flowers and trees put forth their blossoms. To insure the development of a colony, C L. Sams, extension apiarist; at Jstate College, urges beekeepers to examine their colonies on a warm day in early spring. The colony should have a good aueen. an abundance of food, nlentv of brood comb, and a large force of workers. It should also have be free from disease. If the colony has less than 15 pounds of stores, it should be fed with honey taken from a healthy hive that has a surplus or with ja syrup made from equal parts of water and sugar. The condition of the queen may be determined by examining a few combs of brood. Brood from a good queen will be in solid patches, with very few, if any, cells left vacant, Sams pointed out. If the brood comb has many empty cells, the queen is weak. The ab sence of brood indicates that the colony is queenless. A colony with a weak aueen. or without a aueen. should be united with one that has a vigorous, prolific queen, if the colony is m fairly good condition, it fiiav be advisaWp to introduce a new queen to take the piace or an old or weak one. Bees die rapidly. Sams exnlained. and unless a large number of bees is raised from the brood in spring, the colony will not be able to gather a great . deal , of nectar when ' the honey flow starts. In. the warmer sections of the State, it will : be safe to open , the hives for examination in March. In the' cooler mountain areas, it is best to wait as late as May to avoid dan ger of chilling the colonies, he warn ed."'. - .- The tallest specimen of a petrified . ..... a nirlnlinma. 23 feet wee yei " " - - ( in length, and will be assembled for a geological exniDii a uw v". of Oklahoma.
