Curt Rainbolt Owner of

Box M Ranch

Local Man Purchases EntireControl of $200,000

Cattle Ranch

One of the largest individualcattle transactions ever made inthis section was completed thefirst of the week when Curt Rain-bo- lt

purchased the entire interestin the Highland Cattle Company,by taking over the shares of A.W. Ballard, the other owner.

The transaction totals nearly$200,000, and includes all of thelands and property of the High-land Cattle Company togetherwith all the stock owned by them.Mr. Rainbolt is the sole ownerand one of the largest cattle hold-ers in the southwest, as he pre-viously had quite a lot of stocknorth and northeast of Lords-bur- g.

The transaction does not in-

clude the state lands recentlyapplied for and selected by Mr.Ballard. He will still hold thisimmense tract of some 20 sec-tions between this city and theGila River. It is possible he maylater stock this land.

Mr. Rainbolt, however, takesover all the state land of theBox M ranch, which is one of themost extensive in the southwest.

During the spring this outfitwas sold to Messrs. Rainbolt,Ballard and Armstrong by theHighland Cattle Company ofMinden, Nevada. Later the in-

terest of Mr. Armstrong was pur-chased by Messrs. Ballard andRainbolt, and now the notes, se-

curities and all property andstock are in the name of CurtRainbolt.

This is quite a venture for thelocal man, and all friends in thesouthwest extend tó him wishesof success.

Farrior Returning HomeMr. and Mrs. H. V. Farrior

ceived from Camp Funston. Mr.Farrior has been discharged fromthe army on physical groundslie ana his wue win visit inFlorida for a short time and thenexpect to return home. WallaceFarrior will also leave next weekfor Florida.

Press reports from Washingtonindicate that a still more liberal interpretation of the selectivedraft law is to prevail in the future than has at any time in thepast and that only single menare to be included in Class I.These orders have not yet reached the board for Grant county.

No date has as yet been setfor the sending of the men whoare needed to make up the deficiency caused by rejections fromthe military camps on account ofphysical reasons, but the callmay be sent out any day nowwith sufficient time allowed toreport to the local board for duty.

HOW THE ENEMY STANDS

People Have Less to Eat This WinterThan Last, Is Belief Two Fodder

i Discoveries DisaffectionIn Austria.

London. Europe Is going to lend'I lie simple Ufe this winter ond for along tlmu thereafter. There Is not acountry thnt does not now realize thereal dnnRCr of extremo food shortage.

put food shortnge Is not the only or, In most coses the worst of the men-

aces. Tho nations face nnd realizo asnever before the exhaustion of all nec-essary supplies. Although food will boscarce In nil countries, whether bellig-erent or neutral, It Is doubtful whether(hat will Imposo as much hardship onpeople ns.Jlio shortnge of fuel, writesJudson C. Wllllver in the Now YorkSun.

In Europe's climate food Is fuel tothe body quite as much ns It Is nour-ishment. Sharply restricted suppliesof food, nnd that of a doubtful qual-ify and poor variety," might be enduredIf thero were plenty of fuel. It Iswhen the supply of fuel, both outsidennd Inside, falls below the necessitiesaf physical effort thnt people beginto suffer.

Europe has neither carbon for Itsfood nor carbon for Its flreplnces, nndIn somo respects the northern neutralsnre even worse off thun the belliger-ents. Itatlons of Important food nec-essaries have been reduced by some ofthem even below the amounts allowedIn Qermnny. England Is by far thebest supplied country In the matter offood, and the authorities arc makingdesperate efforts to make the popula-tion, realize that rationing will soonbe compulsory unless food consiimp''tlon Is considerably reduced. The foodauthorities have announced a policyof accumulating sulllclont reserve tofeed tho country for three months,even If no imports shall bo receivedduring this time.

Question of Shipping.In the ense of England It Is entirely

a question of shipping. Dig stocks offood hnve beeirgathered In Australia,Jiew Zealand, Cunnda and elsewhere,but there nre no ships to bring themhere. England Is probably better situ-ated In the matter of coal Mippllesthan nny other country, but must di-

vide with Its allies. Franco and Italy,and so far as possible some of the neu-trals hope to bo tuken care of from the

' English mines.Tho German food situation Is puz-

zling. Apparently the authorities nrenot nearly so confident about It ns theywould like the public to believe. Theyear's harvest turned out more sat-isfactory than seemed probable dur-ing, the period of droughts and hail-storms In midsummer, but on the oth-er hand reserves were heavily drawnupon before the harvest of 1017 wasgathered. Reserves, Indeed, may fair-ly be said to have disappeared.

The carefully cultivated odlclal un-

derstanding In (iermany Is thnt therewill be a better food supply this win-ter than last. The specillc statementsJustifying this expectation nre highlyunsatisfactory. The Munich Medicalunion hus declared thnt there will beless food, except potatoes, this win-ter thun lost. Throughout Germanythero Is apparently a pretty genernlbelief that this Is true, and wide-spread demand Is voiced for an In-

crease In the allowance of potatoes.In Germany, ns In Englnnd, the Im-

mediate result of thp 'harvest was agreat Increase In the marketing of po-

tatoes with the consequence thnt Inninny places there were not storngcfacilities to tnko care of them. Thefear Is expressed that a not Inconsider-able portion of tho potato yield will hewasted, partly because of overconsump-tlo- n

In the agricultural areas and part-ly from Inadequacy of storngo facili-ties. So from ninny German authori-ties comes the "warning thnt despite nbig yield of tubers the coming winterIs likely to see conditions quite ns badregarding them, nnd worse ns to munyother things than last winter.

Ominous Suggestion.The ominous suggestion Is mndo by

some of the German food authoritiesthat It will not do to be too free withpotatoes, because later It will be neces-sary to mix more potato flour with ce-

real flour to stretch the supply. Alsons there yns a short crop of fodderthroughout the country potntocs arelikely to bo required to feed domesticanimals.

Tho fear of such on event has causedwidespread demona" (hut more hogs beslaughtered that they may not requireto ho fed with potatoes thnt the peo-ple will need. The number of hogsIn the country has been Increasing thisyear, and the fact gives concern be-cause tho pig Is an active competitorof a munition worker or anybody elseIn the matter of food requirements.

German authorities have determinedthat beyond providing a moderate meatration tho transmutation of vegetnbloInto animal food Is n dangerouslywasteful process. So there Is an effortto induce farmers and vlllago dwell-e-

to restrict tho number of hogsmid crttU to the point where It will

be Just possible to raise the absolutelyncccssnry meat ration.

The relation of the general economicbreakdown to agriculture Is IndicatedIn both Englnnd and Qermnny by mat-ters affecting tho supply of agriculturalmachinery. In Germnny thero Is nmost serious shortage of nil kinds ofagricultural tools and machines, be-

cause the old ones have worn out nndthere is neither metal nor manufactur-ing capacity to provide new ones.

In England the complaint particular-ly concerns tho supply of motor plows.The government long ago promisedthat thousands of theso would be fur-nished In timo to put n grcntly In-

creased ncreagc In cereals under cultl-vntlo- n

in 1018. Now when the fallplowing season Is on It develops thatwant of shipping or other rensons hnveprevented the delivery of anything likenn adequate number of these ma-

chines.A Dresden physician who Is quoted

as an authority, has recently dis-

cussed the German food situation asregards the requirements nnd suppliesof various classes of consumers. liefinds Jlint children up to eightyears of ago are receiving n reason-ably satisfactory ration, but thenmount nllowcd to those from eight toeighteen Is utterly lnsufllclcnt nnd thntthe shortage seriously threatens thephysicnl vitnllty of the next genera-tion.

The effort to And fodder for animalshas started the professors on mnnyInvestigations and Inquiries. DoctorDegen, director of the seed testing sta-tion in ISudapcst, claims to have dis-

covered two valuable articles of fod-

der, lie writes:"The searush (ISolboschaenus mnri-tlmu-

was known, ns regards the portabove ground, ns n fodder equal invalue to straw. Itecent experimentshnve, however, shown that tho tubersgrowing on tho roots underground nrefnr more valuable. They come verynear to the horse chestnut In thonmount of raw protein, row fat andstnrch contents, without the bitterness.If they nre used for tho manufacturoof spirits the wash, olthor wet ordried, can also bo used for fodder.

"The pond bullrush (Schncnoplec-tu- s

If used In distilleries thownsh Is not so vnluable as that fromthe searush. Hut In a time of needIt Is a raw material that can be usedfor various purposes."

Milk famine confronts all Europe.The situation has long been bnd, nndgrows steadily worse everywhere.There Is constant nnd Increasing con-

flict between the various state and mu-

nicipal authorities dealing with thefood question throughout Gerrnnuy.Inthis regard tho German situation Ismuch more complicated and dlfllcultto handle than the English.

German speaking Austria has longbeen Jcnlous of the comparatively fa-

vorable food situation In Hungary, nndrecently the disaffection hns becomencute. It Is charged thnt Hungary Isfeeding herself bountifully nnd leovlngthe rest of the empire to shift ns Itcan. For whatever Hungary Is will-ing to send Into the German speakingregions outrageous prices are charged,and the subject has been discussedwith painful frnnkness in the legisla-

tive bodies of both states.It was sold that recently lard from

Hungary had been sold In Austrln atnenrly eight times tho price It wouldhave cost In Hungnry. The same gen-

eral situation prevails os to many oth-

er Hungarian food supplies.The Hungnrlnns complain with equal

rancor thnt they are charged excessiveprices for oil manufactured articlesproduced In Austrln. The two governments hnve been trying to ngreounon n general policy of leveling downthe prices of both. Rut nt this pointthey nre confronted by the same unitculty which bos been so many timesexperienced In Germany; no system ofprice control will stretch Inadequatesunnlles to tho point of adequacy.

In Holland the state's control Is being extended to almost nil food sup-

plies. Thero are Indications that therationing system Is going to be cstnullshed before winter shall have fnr mlvonced. The use of fat and margarinaby bnkers and confectioners ond byhotels, restnurnnts nnd clubs In preporing food hns been prohibited. Thegovernment hns guaranteed prices forwheat, rye, oats, barley, etc.

As to crops not ovoilublo for foodthe oreas thnt may bo planted havebeen strictly limited; in some casesto not moro thnn 40 or 50 per cent ofthe plnptlngs of normal years. A pre-

mium hns been offered for Increnscdareas of hind under the plow. Thogovernment Is going to requisition thoentire crop of sugnr beets, tho factorieswill convert them Into sugar, nnd thiswill be turned over to the governmentat n fixed price for distribution. Theprice demanded of the public will notbe Increased.

Although Denmnrk Is, In proportionto nrco ond population, one of thegrentest agricultural producing andexporting countries In the world, It Isnow confronted with shortage of al-

most everything. The country's nut-

ter production lias decreased alarming-ly, and thero Is a demand for ration-ing. The government Is undertakingto subsidize the production of butterso ns to reduce prices; thnt Is, to np-pl- y

to butter practically the some rulethnt was applied to bread In Englnnd.The English government is subsidizingbread to the extent of about $40,000,-00- 0

a year, thus making It posslblo toÍ sell the English loaf of wur bread for

four nnd pne-hal- f cents.In Norwny tho government nnd tho

local food authorities aro working toperfect n rationing system In time tosave the country from disaster thiswinter. At Chrlstlnnlo a big schemefor storing reserves of food hns beenworked out and some '5 warehouses Invarious parts of the city are beingstocked.

Pathetic and Dignified Supplications ofMunicipal Governments Answered

by Rebuke and Heavy FineImposed by General Hopfer.

Over the earnest protest of Cardi-nal Mcrcier, heroic head of thechurch in Belgium, the terribleplans of the kaiser's high officersconcerning the deportation of thepeople were carried out. 'The sol-

emnly pledged word of the Germangovernor general of Belgium count-ed as nothing in the malignant hateshown by the kaiser's creatures.

Cardinal Merclcr attempted to per-suade the German authorities to aban-don their terrible plans for the seizureof Belgluns to assist in the prosecu-tion of the war, reminding them oftheir solemn promises In the past:

"Mallncs, 10th October, 1010."Mr. Governor Genernl :

"The doy after the surrender of Ant-werp the frightened population askedItself what would become of the Bel-gians of age to bear arms or who wouldreach that age before the end of thooccupation. The entreaties of tho fa-

thers and mothers of families deter-mined me to question the governor ofAntwerp, liaron von Huene, who hadthe kindness to reassure me nnd toauthorize me In his tinmc to reassurethe agonized pnrcnts. The rumor hadspread at Antwerp, nevertheless, thntat Liege, Naniur, nnd Clinrlerol youngmen had been seized ntid taken byforce to Germnny. I therefore beg-

ged Governor von Huene to be goodenough to confirm to me in writing theguarantee which he had given to meorally, to the effect that nothing slm-lln- r

would hnppcn nt Antwerp. Hosaid to me Immediately thnt the ru-

mors concerning deportations werewithout basis, and unhesitatingly hesent mo in writing, among other state-ments, the following: 'Young men haveno renson to fenr that they will be ta-

ken to Germany, either to be there en-

rolled In the army or employed forforced labor.'

Solemn German Promises Broken."Upon the arrival of your predeces-

sor, the late Raron von der Goltz, atRrusseUt I had the honor of presentingmyself nt his house and requested himto be good enough to ratify for the en-

tire country, without time limit, theguarantees which General von Httcnohad given me for the province of Ant-werp. The governor genernl retainedthis request In his possession In orderto examine it at his leisure. The fol-

lowing day he was good enough tocome lu person to Mullnes to bring mehis approval, and confirmed to me, Inthe presence of two aides-de-cam- p ondof my privóte secretary, tho promisethat the liberty of Belgian citizenswould be respected.

"Notwithstanding nil this, your gov-

ernment now tears from their homesworkmen reduced In spite of their ef-

Plowing and Mining

The basic industries are winn-ing the war. Plowinf?and miningare more important daring thisgreat conflict than all other activ-ities. Of course, both industrieswere basic from primitive times,but often have been more or lessin the back ground. Man beganto advance in living conditionsas agriculture developed, andwhat he took from the caves--t- he

first rudiments of mining-aid- edhim in tilling the soil. The

more ore he found under theground, the better the weaponshe was able to fashion, so thatthe advance of civilization cantruthfully be said to have beenbased on" what man took from thesoil, in agriculture and mining.All arts and sciences grew fromthese two branches.

Hot Air Boosting

It takes more than a calm, ex-

act judicial statement about atown to get under tin hide of astranger, tie seems to need aeons'uerable amount of that rari-fie- d,

sublimated hot air whichcomes of super-confidenc- e, tomake him sit erect and vouchsafeconsideration.

Toll a stranger that Lordsburgis a fine town for its size, and hewon't even try tfr get the rightangle of vision to agree with you.You'd be telling the unvarishedtruth, all right; but the chancesare that your stranger wants thetruth varnished with a brillianthue brilliant enough to makehjm see a rainbow. If you rubin the persiflage you will makehim realize that where there isso much confidence there is must

1

be a reason for it Changing'the metaphor, he will be made to

.think that where there is so muchsmóke there must be some fire.

The shooting off of hot airseems to be the one sure kind ofpublicity that unfailingly attractsattention. A plain, truthfulstatement, made in a dignifiedgentlemanly way, will instill con-viction in a gathering of scien-tists or other highbrows who arebuilt that way; but the averageperson wants mote than the barefaets. He wants exaggeration,hot air, and he gets it. I

Lordsburg is the mo3t glorious,grand, noble, majestic, sublime,sparkling, scintilla'nt, dazzling,eil'ulgent and radiant town inNew Mexico. Tell your strangerfriend something like that, andthen proceed to prove it, and youwill get under his skin, if not hisskull. í

A certain amount of hot air'U necessary in life it preventsthat cool reception that freezesthe blood.

We Must Do More

It is not necessary for a muni-cipality to do as rrtich a othermunicipalities are doing, it shouldendeavor to do more.

It' i the "more" that art vea atown distinction.

Almost every town has publicimprovements of some kind; butit ii the town that has these n-ectary adjuncts of modern townsand something nú liti.iial thatgets talked about.

Make a person happy if youcan, even if it is neeeasavy to saygoodhye.

Goat Milk Good for Infants andI Invalids

An interesting Iliilletin No. 286 hasreci ntly been issued by the AgriculturalKxperiment Station, iterklcy, Cal., onthe Milch Goat In California.

In referring to the uses of goat milk,it cays: -

"The most striking results so far se-cured relate to tho feeding of goaU'milk to infanta. The station has hadthe i ppoi tunity of supplying this milkto a I airly largo number of very youngchildren who were in soriuis physicalccr.dttu.n, due to their inability to prop-erly digest and assimilate aitlier tncdi-ilc- d

cows' milk or tiny of the commer-cial infants' focds that were, triid. Innearly all cases of this kind the physi-cal condition of the children has beenbuilt op, and sat sfait'ry growth habeen lunught about by the use of gouti'milk."

CHAPTER IX Continued.

That Is precisely what I was driv-ing at. Our banker can't run with thehare and hunt with the hounds. You'llexcuso me If I say that you haven'tbeen altogether fair with TlmanyontDitch, or with Colonel Baldwin, Mr.Klazle. A friendly banker doesn'thelp sell out his customer. You knowthat, as well as I do; Still, you didIt."

Klnzle threw up his hands and triedto defend himself. "It was a straightbusiness transaction, Mr. Smith. Aslong as we'ro In the banking business,we buy and sell for anybody who comesslong."

"No. we don't, Mr. Ktnzlc; wo pro-tect our customers first. In tho pres-ent tustnnco you thought your cus-tomer was n dead one, anywny, so Itwouldn't mako much difference If youshould throw another shovelful of dirtor so onto tho coffin. Wasn't that thoway of It?"

The president was fairly pushed tothe ropes, and he showed It.

"Answer mo one question, both ofyou," he snnpped. "Are you big enoughto fight for your own against Stanton'scrowd?"

"You'll seo; and tho sight is goingto cost you something;" said Smith,and the blandest oil could have beenno smoother than his tone.

"Is thnt right, Dexter?""That s- the way it looks to me,

Dave," said tho ranchman capitalist,who, whatever might bo his limitationsIn the field of high finance, was notlacking the nervo to fight unquostlon-ln-

In any partner's quarrel.Tho president of tho Brewster City

National turned back to Smith."What do you want, Mr. Smith?" bo

asked, not too cordially."Nothing that you'd give us, I guess;

a little business loyalty, for onething"

"And a checking balance for Immediate necessities for another?" sug'gested tho banker.

With all his trained astutenesstrained In Klnzle's own school, atthat Smith could not bo sure that thogray-face- d old Westerner was not setting n final trap for him, after all. Buthe took the risk, saying, with a decentshow of IndlfTercnce: "Of courso Itwould be more convenient hero than InDenver or Chicago. But there Is nohurry about that part of It"

Tho president took a slip of paperfrom a plgeonholo and wroto rapidlyupon It. Once moro his optimism waslocking horns with prudent caution. Itwas the optimism, however, that wasdriving the pen. Baldwin's word wasworth something, and It might bo dlsastrous to let those two get nway without anchoring them solidly to theBrewster City National.

"Sign this, you two," he said. "Idon't know even tho name of your n woutfit yet, but I'll take a chance on onopiece of two-nam- e paper, anyhow.

Smith took up the slip and glancedat It. It wns nn accommodation nntofor twenty thousand dollars. With themoney fairly In his hands, ho pausedto drive tho nnll of Independencesquarely beforo ho would begin.

"We don't want this at all, Mr. Kinzle, unless tho bank's goodwill comeswith It," ho Bald with becoming gravity.

"I'll stand by you," wnb the brusquerejoinder. "But It's only fair to youboth to say that you'vo got tho biggestkind of n combination to buck youa national utilities corporation withthe strongest sort of political backing

"I doubt If you can toll us anythingthat we don't already know," suldSmith coolly, as he put his name onthe note; nnd when Baldwin hadvlgncd: "Let this go to tho credit ofTlmanyonl Ditch, If you please, Mr,Klnzle, nnd we'll transfer It later. It'squite posslblo that we sha'n't need It,but wo are willing to help out a littleoti your discount profits, anyway. Further along, when things shape them-solve- s

up a bit more definitely, youshall know all there Is to know, andwe'll glvo you Just as good a chanceto mnke money as you'll glvo us."

When they were safely out of thehank and half a square nway from It,Dexter Baldwin pushed his hat backand mopped his forehead. "They saya man can't sweat at this altitude,-- horemarked. "I'm hero to tell you,Smith, that I've lost ten pounds In thelast ton minutos. Whore In the nameof Jumping Jchoshaphat did you getyour nerve, boy? You mado him be-

JOHN SMITH BLUFFS A CRAFTY BANKER AND GETS HOLD

OF SUFFICIENT WORKING CAPITAL TO GO AHEAD

WITH THE GREAT IRRIGATION DAM PROJECT

Synopsis. J. Montague Smith, cashier of Lnwrencevllle Bank andTrust company, society bachelor engaged to marry Vcrda Rlchlnnder,heiress, knocks his employer, Watrous Dunham, senseless, lenves htmfor dead and flees the state when Dunham accuses Smith of dishon-esty and wants him to tnko tho blnme for embezzlement actually com-mitted by Dunham. Several weeks later, Smith appears as n trampat a town In the Rocky mountains and gets a laboring Job In nn Irriga-tion ditch construction camp. Ills Intelligence draws tho attention ofWilliams, the superintendent, who thinks ho can uso the tramp, JohnSmith, In a more Important place. The ditch company Is In hard linesfinancially because Eastern financial Interests are working to under-mine the local crowd headed by Colonel Baldwin and take over valu-able property. Smith finally accepts appointment as financial seorctary of Baldwin's company. Ho has already struck up a pleasantacquaintance with Corona Baldwin, the colonel's winsome dnughtcr.Ho goes to Interview a crafty banker while tho financial enemies rlanruin for Baldwin's company.

with n good business lawyer, and I'llstart tho legal machinery. Then youcan get Into your enr and go aroundand Interview your crowd, man byman. I want to know exactly wherewo stand with tho old stockholders be-

foro we make any move In public Canyou do that?"

Baldwin lifted his bat and shoved hisfingers through his hair.

"I reckon I can ; there are only sixtyor seventy of 'cm. And Bob StUUngsIs your lawyer. Come around tho cor-

ner and I'll Introduce you."

CHAPTER X.

The Rocket and the Stick.For a full fortnight after the pre

liminary visit to tho Brewster CityNational bank Smith was easily thobusiest man In Tlmanyonl county. Establishing himself In the Hophrnnouse, and discarding tho workingkhaki only becnuso ho was shrewdenough to dress the new part becom-

ingly, ho flung himself Into whatColonel Baldwin called tho "miracle-working- "

campaign with a zest thatknew no flagging moment

Within tho fourteen-da- y period newtown offices were occupied on the sec-

ond floor of tho Brewster City National building; Stllllngs, most efficientof corporation counsels, had securedtho new charter; and tho stock-booK- s

of Tlmanyonl High Lino had beenopened, with tho Brewster City National named as tho company's deposi-tory and official fiduciary agent.

At tho dam the building activitieshad been generously doubled. An electric light plant had been Installed, andWilliams was working day nnd nightshifts both In the quarries and on thoforms. Past this, the new financialmanager, himself broadening rapidlyas his field broadened, was branchingout In other directions. After a briefconferenco with n few of his principalstockholders he had Instructed Stllllngsto Include the words "Power and Light"In the cataloguing of the new company's possible and probable charteractivities, and by the end of the fortnight tho foundations of a powerhousewero going In below the dam, and ne-

gotiations wero already on foot withtho Brewster city council looking to--

word the sale of electric current to thecity for lighting nnd other purposes,

Smith had made the planting of hisflnnnclal anchor securely to windwardhis first core. Furnished with n select-ed list by Colonel Baldwin, ho hadmade a thorough canvas of possible In-

vestors, nnd by tho time the new stockwas printed and ready for deliverythrough Klnzle's bank, an Ironclad poolof tho majority of tho original Timanyonl Ditch stock had been organized,and Smith had sold to Maxwell, Star- -

buck, and other local capitalists a sufflclcnt amount of tho new treasurystock to give him a fighting chance:this, with a promise of moro If Itshould be needed.

Not to Maxwell or to any of the newInvestors had Smith revealed tho fulldimensions of tho prize for which Tlm-anyonl High Lino wns entering therace. Colonel Baldwin and one Wil-

liam Starbuck, Maxwell's brother-in- -

law, by courtesy, and I1I3 partner Intho Llttlo Allco mine, nloue knew thowheel within the wheel; how the greateastern utility corporation representedby Stanton had spent a million ormoro In the acquisition of tho Escnlanto grant, which would be practically worthless as agricultural land without Uio water which could be obtainedonly by means of tho Tlmanyonl damnnd canal system. '

With all these strenuous stirrings Inthe business field, It may say Itself thatSmith found little time for social Indulgcnccs during tho crowded fortnight Day after day the colonel beggedhim to tako a night off at the ranchnnd It was even more difficult to refusetho proffered hospitality at tho weekend. But Smith did rofuse It

It wus not until after Miss Coronadriving to town with her father, as shefrequently did hud thrlco visited thenew offices thnt Smith hegnn to congrntulato himself, rather bitterly, tobe sure, upon his wisdom In stnylngnway from Hlllcrest. For ono thing,ho was learning that Corona Baldwinwas nblo to make him sec rose-colore- d

When sho was not with him, ho was nman in dally peril of meeting thesheriff. But when she was presentcalm sanity hud a way of losing Itstrip.

Miss Corona's fourth visit to thohandsome sulto of offices over thoBrowstor City National chanced tofall upon a Saturday. I lor father,president of the new company, as hohad been of tho old, had a private o

of his own, but Miss Coronn coondrifted out to the rallcd-of- f end of tholarger room, where the financial sec-retary had his desk.

Colonel-dadd- y tells me that you nrecoming out to Hlllcrest for the weekend," wns the way In which sho Interrupted tho financial secretary'sbrow-knltttn- over a new materialcontract "I have Just wagered him anlco fat little round Iron dollar of myallowanco that you won't. How aboutIt?"

Smith looked up with his best-na- -

turcd grin."You win," he said shortly.'"inanK you," sue laughed, "in a

minuto or so I'll go back to tho president's office nnd collect" Then: "Onedinner, lodging and breakfast of uswas about all you could stand, wasn'tIt? I thought maybo It would be thatway."

"What mado you think so?"Sho had seated herself In tho chair

reserved for inquiring Investors. Therewas a llttlo Interval of glove-smoothin-g

silence, and then, like a flash outof a clear sky, sho smiled across thodesk end at him and said:

"Will you forgive mo if I ask yon aperfectly ridiculous question?"

"Certainly. Other peoplo ask themevery day."

"Is Is your name really and trulyJohn Smith?"

"Why should yon doubt it?"It was Just hero that Smith was

given to seo another ono of Miss Co-

rona's many moods or tenses and Itwas a new ono to him. Sho was visiblyembarrassed.

"I I don't want to tell you," shostammered.

"All right; you needn't""If you're going to take it that easy,

I will tell you," sho retorted. "Mr,Williams thought your name was analias ; and I'm not sure that be doesn'tstill think so."

"Tho Smiths never havo to havealiases. It's llko John Doo or RichardItoe, you know."

"Haven't you any middle name?""I havo a middle Initial. It is 'M.' "

no was looking her fairly In the eyesas he said It, and the light In the newoffices wns excellent Thnnks to herhorseback riding, Miss Corona's smalloval faco had a touch of healthy outdoor ton; but under the tan therecame, for Just a flitting Instant, a flushof deep color, and at the back of thogray eyes there wns something thntSmith had never seen thero before.

"It's It's Just an Initial?" shequeried.

"Yes; It's Just nn Initial, and I don'tuse It ordlnnrlly. I'm not a'shamed ofthe plain 'John.'"

"I don't know why you should be?'she commented, half absently, hothought. And then: "now many 'JohnM. Smiths' do you supposo thero nreIn the United States?"

"Oh, I don't know ; n million or so, Iguess."

"I should think you would be ratherglad of that," sho told him. But whenho tried to mako her say why he shouldbo glad, sho talked pointedly of otherthings nnd presently went back to herfather's office.

Thero were fine llttlo bondings ofperspiration standing on the fugitive'sforehead when sho left him.

After the other members of thoforce hnd taken their departure,

ho still snt at his desk striving to bringhimself back with some degree of clearheadedness to the pressing demands ofhis Job. Just ns ho was about to glvoIt up and go across to tho nophrnnouso for his dinner, William Starbuckdrifted in to open tho railing goto andto como and plant himself In the chairof privilege at Smith's desk end.

"Well, son; you've got tho animalsstirred up good and plenty, at last,"ho sold, when he had found the "mak-ings" and wns deftly rolling a cigar-ette his one overlapping habit reachlng back to his range-ridin- g youth,"Dick Maxwell got n wire today fromhis kiddle's grandpaw nnd ray ownrespected daddy-In-la- Mr. HiramFnlrbolrn ; you know him tho lumberking."

"I'm listening," said Smith."Dick's wlro wns nn order: instruc

The financial secretary's smile wnstho g

"What is Maxwell going to do aboutIt7 " he asked.

"Dick Is all wool and a yard widennd what ho signs his name to Is whatho is going to stand by. You won't losohim, but tho wlro shows us Just aboutwhere we're aiming to put our leg Intotho gopher hole nnd break It, doesn'tIt?"

"I'm not borrowtnc nuv trouble. Mr.Falrbalrn and his colleagues are Just

few minutes too Inte. StnrbnclcWe'vo got our footing Inside of thcorral."

The who was nowwell up on the middle rounds of fortune's ladder, shook his head doubtfully.

"Don't you mako nny brash breaks,John. Mr. nirnm Falrbalrn and hiscrowd can swing twenty millions toyour ono llttlo old dollar and n half,and they're not going to leave nny ofthe pebbles unturned when It comes tosaving their Investment In tho Esca-lante. That's all; I just thought I'ddrop In and tell you."

Smith went to his rooms in the hotela few minutes later to change for dinner. He found the Unen drawer in hisdresslng-cas- o overflowing. Openinganother,-h- began to arrange the over-flow methodically. The empty drawerwas lined with a newspaper, and a sin-gle headline on ' the upturned pagesprang at him like a thing living nndvenomous. He bent lower and readthe undcrrunnlng paragraph with adull rngo mounting to his eyes andserving for the moment to mnke thegray of the printed lines turn red.

Thecrime would have been merely a breachof trust and not actionable but for thefact that Smith, by owning stock In thebankrupt Westfall Industries lately takenover by the nichlandor company, had somade himself amenable to the law. Smithdisappeared on the night of tho llth andIs still at large. lie Is also wanted onanother criminal count.

Smith flung himself masterfully attho new difficulties as they arose, andearned his meed of praise from thomen for whom he overcamo them. Butunder the surface current of the hurrying business tide a bitter undertow wnsbeginning to set In. Ho took his firstdecided backward step on the nightwhen ho went Into n hardware storeand bought n pistol. The free, fair--fighting spirit which had sent him barehanded against the three claim-jumpe-

Text of President's Address.The teit of President Wilson's

speech to Congress follows:Gentlemen of tho Congress: I have

asked tho privilege of addressing youin oruer to report that on tho 28th ofDecember last, during the recess ofcongress, acting through the sccretary of war, and under the authorityconferred upon mo by tho act of Congress approved Aug. 29, 1916, I tookpossession-on- assumed control of therailway lines of tho country and thosystems of water transportation undertheir control. This stop seemed to beImperatively necessary in the interestof tho public welfare, in tho presenceof tho great tasks of war with whichwe are now dealing. As our expertence develops difficulties and makesIt clear what they are. I have deemedit my duty to remove these difficultieswherover I havo tho legal powor todo so. To assume control of tho vastrailway systems of the country, I re-alize a very heavy responsibility, butto ran to tlo so in the existing clrcunvstances would havo been a muchgreater. I assumod the less responslblllty rather than tho weightier.

Arteries of the Army.I am sure that I am speaking the

mind of all thoughtful Americanswhen I say that It Is our duty as therepresentatives ot the nation to doeverything that it Is necessary to doto secure the complete mobilizationof the whole resources of America byas rapid and cffcctlvo a means as canbe found. Transportation supplies allthe arteries of mobilization. Unless Itbe under a single and unified dlrection, tho wholo procoss of the nation'saction Is embarrassed.

It was in tho true spirit ot Americaand it was right that wo should firsttry to effect the necessary unification under the voluntary action ofthose who were In charge, of tho greatrailway properties, and wo did try It,The directors of the railroads respond'ed to the need promptly and gencr-ously- .

Praises Executives.The group of railway executives

who were charged with tho task ofactual and general dlrection performed their task with pntrlotic zeal and marked ability, as wasto havo been expected, and did, I

everything that It was possiblelor them to tlo in tho circumstances.If I have taken the task out of theirhands, it has not been because of anydereliction or failure on their part,but only because there were homethings which tho government can doand present management cannot. Weshall continue tn value most highlytho advlco and assistance ot theso gen-tlemen, and I am sure we shall notfind them withholding It.

4é-- had become unmistakablyplain that only undor governmentadministration can the cntlro equipment or tno several systems of transportation be fully and unreservedlythrown Into common sorvico withoutInjurious discrimination against par-ticular properties and unombarrasedcommon use bo made of all tracks,terminals, terminal facilities andequipment of evory kind.

No Big Shakeup.Only under that authority can new

terminals be constructed and developed without regard to the require-ments or limitations or particularroads. But under government ad-ministration all these things will bepossible not Instantly, but as fastas practical difficulties, which cannotbo merely conjured away, give waybefore the new management.

The common administration willbo carried out with as little disturb-ance of tho present operating organ-izations and personnel of the rail-ways as possible.

turbed which It is not necessary todisturb, wo are serving tho publicInterost and safeguarding tho publicsafety, but we aro also regardful oftho interest of those bywhom thesegreat properties are owned and gladto avail ourselves of tho experienceand trained ability of those who havobeen managing them.

Shipper Safeguarded.It is necessary that tho transporta-

tion of troops and of war material, otfood and ot fuel, and of everythingthat is necessary for tho full mobiliza-tion of tho energies and resources ottho country should be first considered,but it Is clearly In tho public interestalso that tho ordinary activities andtho normal individual and commercialUfo of tho country should bo Inter-fered with and dislocated as little aspossible, and the public may rest as-sured that tho Interest nnd conven-ience of tho private shipper will bo ascarefully served and safeguarded aaIt Is possible to serve ond safeguardIt In tho present extraordinary circum-stances.

While tho present authority of thoexecutive suffices for all purposes ofadministration, and while, of course,all private interests must for the pres-ent glvo way to the public necessity,it Is, I am sure you will agree withme, right and necessary that tho own-ers and creditors of tho railways, thoholders of their stocks ond bonds,should receive from the governmentan unqualified guaranteo that tholrproperties will bo maintained through-out the period of federal control In asgood repair and as completo equip-ment as at present, and that tho sev-eral roads will receive under federalmanagement such compensation as isequltablo and Just alike to their own-ers nnd to tho general public.Three-Yea- r Average Payment Baals.

I would suggest the average net rail-way operating Income of tho threeyears ending June 30, 1017. I earnest-ly recommend that these guaranteesbo given by appropriato legislationand given as promptly as circum-stances permit.

I need not point out the essentialJustice of such guarantees and theirgreat Influence nnd significance aselements In the present financial andindustrial situation of the country.Indeed, ono of tho strong argumentsfor assuming control of the railroadsat this timo is tho financial argu-ment. It is necessary that the valuoof railway securities should be Justlyand fairly protected and that tholarge financial operations every yearnecessary in connection with the"!maintenance, operation nnd develop-ment of the roads should, during theperiod of the war bo wisely relatedto tho financial operations of thegovernment.

Prosecution of War Primary Object.Our first duty Is, ot course, to con-

serve the common Interest and thecommon safety and to mako certainthat nothing stands in the way oftho successful prosecution of thegreat war for liberty and justice, butit is an obligation of public con-science and of public honor that theprlvato Interests wo disturb shouldhe kept safo from unjust Injury, andIt is of the utmost consequence! totho government Itself that all greatfinancial operations should bo sta-bilized and with thofinancial operations of tho govern-ment. No borrowing should runathwart tho borrowings of tho fed-eral treasury and no fundamentalvalues should anywhero be unneces-sarily Impaired. In the hands orsmall Investors in tho country, aswell as in national banks, tho Insur-ance companies, in savings banks, Intrust companies, In financial agencies of every kind, railway securities,the sum total of which runs up toso ni o ten or eleven thousand mil-lions, constitute a vital part of thestructure of credit and the unques-tionable stability ot that structuremust be maintained.

MeAdoo to Undertake Work.

The secretary ot war and I easilyagreed that, In view or tho many com-plex Interests which muBt be safe-guarded and harmonized, as well nsbecause of his exceptional experienceand ability In this hew field of gov-

ernmental action, the lion. William G.MeAdoo was tho right man to assume, direct administrative control ofthis new executive task. At our ro- -

quost he consented to assume the authority and duties ot organizer anddirector general of tho new railway administration. Ho has assumed thoseduties, and bis work is In active progress. It is probably too much to expect that eveti under tho unified rail-way administration which will now bepossible sufficient economies can beeffected In tho operation of the railways to make It possible to add totholr equipment and extend their op-

London. The British primo minis-to- r,

David Lloyd George, Jan. 5, setforth Groat Britain's war alms morespecifically and at greater length be-fore the delegates of the Trados Unionthan he had over done boforo.

Having first declared that It wa3 nota war of aggression against Germanyor the German people, ond that thebreaking up of the German peoplesor tho dlstlntegratlon of their statewas not one of tho objects for whichtho allies were fighting, ho proceed-ed to mention the fundamental Issuesfor which Britain nnd her allies werecontending.

First among theso was tho restora-tion of Belgium and reparation for theInjuries Inflicted. Next camo the res-toration of Serbia, Montenegro andthe occupied parts of France, Italy,and Rumania. France must havo

and to this end, thepremier said, the British nation wouldstand by tho French democracy to thedeath.

The" question of Itussia was touchedupon, and Mr. Lloyd George said thatBritain, ns well as America, Franceand Italy would have been proud tofight by the side of the new Russiandemocracy.

Rumania Is to be protected, nnd theBritish and other allies are with Italyin her desire for complete union of thepeople of the Italian raco and tongueOf Austria-Hungar- lie felt that whileIho breaking up or the dual kingdomwas no part or the allied war alms, Itwas impossible to hope for the removalof causes of unrest in that part orEurope unless genuino

was granted the Austro-Hungar-la- n

nationalities.Tho Turkish empire, within the

homelands of the Turkish race, withConstantinople as Its capital, may bomaintained. But tho passago betweenthe Mediterranean and Black sea mustbo Internationalized and neutralized,and In the British view, Arabia, Ar-menia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Pales-tine arc entitled to recognition ottheir separate national conditions.

Tho matter of tho German colonies,all of which are now In tho hands ofthe allies, will be placed beforo a con-ference, whose decision, however,must consider tho wishes nnd Inter-ests of the Inhabitants tho futuroadministration must he acceptable tothe various tribes.

The premier made brief referonco tothe violations of International lawcommitted by Germany, with specialemphasis on tho sea, and the pcacoconference, ho declared, must not lososight of the outrages suffored by Brit-ish and other seamen and the servicesthey had rendered.

"Wo nre fighting for n Just and last-ing peace," declared tho premier Inconclusion. "Three conditions mustbo fulfilled: First, tho sanctity oftreaties must be sec- -

Ho declared an Independent Polandan urgent necessity for tho stability ofWestern Europe.

"To secure those conditions tho Brit-ish Empire Is prepared to make ovengroater sacrifices."
