HERBERT W. BAKER
Woodstock Speaker Outlined
Work of Associated MedicalService* Incorporated.
The bi-monthly meeting of the
Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Club was held at
the Ingersoll Inn, on Wednesday
evening last. In the absence of
President Joe Foster, second vice-
president. Robert Wark presided.
Dr. H. W. Baker, Woodstock, presi
dent of Associated Medical Services
Inc., was the speaker. He explained
the advantages of this new health ser
vice, which he said began in Canada
in 1937. It was shown that by a
method of prepayment, individuals
or whole families could thus obtain
health insurance. By payment of a
small amount each month, a subscrib
er was assured of medical care and
hospital accommodation in time at
sickness. It was stated, the service
was absolutely a non-profit making
undertaking. Dr. Baker explained
the origin of the plan in varied parts
•f Europe, where, in most cases, it
was compulsory and under govern
ment supervision. In Canada, he
pointed out, the services were free
of all government pressure or re
striction.
The speaker was introduced to the
meeting, which was well attended, by
Dr. J. Reginald Rogers, and Jack
Young expressed the club's thanks.
A dash of humor was added when
two biographies were read. Bert Carr
gave to’ the club a very open account
of the life to date of Y’sman George
Clifton and Grant Charlton gave a
detailed history of the life of Y’sman
Lloyd Denby.
Gordon Pittock, chairman of the

regret of his passing. He had been
ill sinte last October and for several
weeks it was known that no hope
could be held for his recovery. He

rtred the showing of the Toronto i
Star Royal Visit film in Trinity Unit- •
cd church, here, on Friday evening. .
Despite the many counter attractions
and the fact that the pictures were 1
shown here early in January, there ■
was a large crowd on hand to view 1
these again.
In addition to the Toronto Star '
pictures of the King and Queen in _
natural color, taken while on their ,
visit to Canada last year, there were ]also local scenes of their Majesties (
visit to Ingersoll, taken by Clifford ,
A. Love. One reel was in natural col- ,
cr, the other in black and white. The ]
Ingersoll pictures were declared by
many who saw them, to be even sup- ,
erior to the others.
The minister of Trinity United
Church, Rev. Charles D. Daniel, ex- i
tended a welcome to the gathering
and introduced the evening’s pro- 1
*Kram. Those assisting, between the '

hunted in the swamps and bears were ,
encountered in the woods. There
were frequent bear hunts but Mr.
Henderson’s enthusiasm for hunting
was curbed when a gun exploded in
his hand.

Kintore attended church at Embro or

service, seats had not been installed
and boards were placed on the

Mr. Henderson, familiarly known
as “Black Jack,” to distinguish him
from the cousin of the same name
and often called “Red Jack”, thinks
that the good old days compare fav
ourably with the present, and while
they did not have so much money, it
was not so necessary and they made
their good times instead of buying
them. Evidently Hallowe’en- was
carefully planned in the Old Days too

all the Hallowe’en tricks.

Pay The Tourist His Premium
Tourist expenditures in Canada make up the largest
single total in this country’s long list of exports,
providing an immensely valuable contribution to Can
ada’s balance of trade. In wartime the value of this
industry, in terms of the foreign exchange it produces,
is a factor that may well produce the steadfast anchor
position in an economic tug-of-war. It is estimated
the dollar value of the tourist business in Canada re
presents about thirty percent of the total exports.
Tourist trade does constitute exports, as it » money
spent by visitors from other countries, mainly from
the United States, and the goods and services pro
vided by Canadians are utilized by citizens of these
other countries. It is an export trade item, from
Canada’s economic point of view, just as much as
though these goods and services were crated for ship
ment, only in this case the tourist takes delivery at a
multitude of inland points as he enjoys the natural
beauty of the country.
Because of the extreme importance of foreign ex
change in any well-planned war effort on the economic
front, special and particular precautions are being
taken this year to see that no domestic impediment
retards the free flow of tourist traffic in and out of
Canada. Since ocean travel is not now attractive,
there will be a logical turn to North American^ travel,
by automobiles, trains and aeroplanes.
The United States citizens has an advantage in his
favor in the value of his currency in terms of Cana
dian money. Conditions are such that he receives a
bonus in coming to Canada. It is an added induce
ment to vacation in Canada. That advantage has
mutual benefits, for the Canadian as well as the visi
tor. Canada welcomes—with a royal welcome—the
visitor from the republic to the South. We are
glad to sell him the goods and services required in his
Canadian sojourn. His money at present carries a
premium, and the visitor is entitled to that premium
in terms of Canadian dollars.
The Foreign Exchange Control Board fixes the rates
daily for U. S. dollars. These rates are widely quot
ed and can be had in any of the branches of the
chartered banks throughout Canada; who act as agents
for the Board. Under the provisions of the Order,
United States citizens must be given the benefit of the
Board's rate. In fact, it is illegal to do other than
give the Board’s rate to the tourist.
At the border, United States tourists will be told
they are entitled by Canadian law to receive the For
eign Exchange Control Board rate for their U. S.
currency. For Canadians, there is no finer contri
bution to the Home Front than to encourage the
tourist trade, since the benefits of that trade play such
an important part in the Canadian war effort.
Wool In War Time
One of the great difficulties that a peaceful coun
try like Canada ran into when war was declared was
to clothe the soldiers adequately and speedily, and
some information as to the facts of the situation seems
to be worthwhile. For 'Canada is a wool importing
country. Most of the wool we require at all times
we have to get from abroad, notably from Australasia.
Normally we import about 10 million pounds of raw
wool alone, afrart from yams, etc.
An immense amount of wool, however, was re
quired at once and the Canadian wool dealers and
manufacturers turned over large stocks of their wool
to the Government. The statement was made that
the prices charged were fully 15 per cent below mark
et value.
Large woollen manufacturers in Canada mobilized
the entire industry to meet emergent conditions, and
Canadian troops are now being supplied quality oquip-
• ment, well fitting, and all manufactured in Canada.
Less than two weeks from ^contracts to deliveries, the
Canadian sodiers and airman had khaki and blue uni
forms. Manufacturers are busy on production of
over one million yards of uniform cloth, hundreds ot
thousands of wool blankets, undeYwear and hosiery.
An official publication says: “There has been an
acute shortage of hand-knitting yams due mostly to
tire tremendous demand that came immediately on the
outbreak of war. Unquestionably there was a bit
of forward-buying on the part of many women over
anxious to do their bit for the soldiers. But this
situation is being met successfully and without much
disturbance." . /
Sheep raising dates back 2% /enturies in this
country, when the (French Canadian settlers found
their supply of wool from Eurotoe cut off by QueenAnne’s war. Given permission\o keep sheep, they
spun their own yams, wove cloth and made clothing.
Perhaps the present war will have a stimulating effect
on this oldest and most picturesque, of our Canadian
industries.
“They Shall Not Pass”
The supply minister tells France of Britain’s resour
ces. “We are fighting at your side, and whatever
violence the enemy may let loose we shall be true to
yoUr motto, and with you we repeat it—“On ne passe
pas." *■ 'Speaking in French—one of the several languages,
in which he is fluent—Mr. Leslie Burgin, Supply Min
ister, concluded with these words a recent broadcast bn
Britain’s strength to the (French people.
He told them that it was not easy to measure the
resources of Great Britain. Where in the world, ho
uked. would they find anything to compare with the
greatness, the wealth, the diversity, the solidity of her
resources? > „ ."In the sphere of armaments British industry is
transformed, working day and night at full blast to be
equal to the gigantic demands which a war with Ger
many Imposes," he said. “We have been promised a
totalitarian war and have .irccpted the cimUcnge. We
shall bring to the struggle all the force and energy of
onr financial reserves. We have received with en
thusiasm the nows that France and Britain are pooling
their resources.

Shewp In CanadaCanada can hardly he described as a great shesp-raising country. There are only about 3,600,000
head in the Dominion. Australia, with about half the
population of Canada, has 118 million sheep. It is
the grestart sheep country in the world. India comes
.second with 94 million sheep and goats. We have very
few goats in Canada, comparatively speaking.
There are several obvious reasons why sheep-rais
ing has not so great an appeal for the Canadian far-
:mer as the raising of swine, but one reason has been
stressed recently by the Department of Agriculture.
It is the menace of the prowling dog.
Many sheep breeders in Canada are of the opinion
that it is practically impossible to raise sheep profit
ably on account of the large number of dogs which
are allowed to run at large. This they consider is
serious in a country that uses more wool per capita
than any other country and which in war time finds
itself under the necessity of importing large quantities
of wool for war contracts and for general use.
One farmer in Ontario reports losing 16 head of
sheep killed by dogs in one night, another 11 head and
others smaller numbers. As a result of the menace
from dogs there has been a reduction of 75 per cent
in the number of sheep raised in one district in which
sheep are regarded as the best paying class of live
stock. A similar statement might be made by groups
of fanners in many sections or districts of the Dom
inion.#
Unless something is done to lessen the danger from
dogs it is certain less sheep will be raised. Such a
condition might not be regarded as serious in normal
peace time but with a war on, when wool is one of the
most important agricultural commodities used exclus
ively for slodiers* clothing, it is very dangerous. Then
there are possibilities of lamb being required much
more extensively in Canada to replace either bacon
or beef.
Sheep raisers throughout Canada are urging that
legislation to deal with the menace be considered as a
war time necessity by the Provincial Legislature, so
that more sheep and wool may be produced.

KIWANIS HEAR LORD
BISHOP OF HURON
Rt. Rev. Charles A. Sea ger,Addressed Club on Subject,“Democracy And Liberty.”*Guests Present. President
Alex Yule in Chair.
"Democracy is an old, old cre
ation of man—liberty is the crea
tion of God through Christ,” said
Rt Rev. €. A. Seager, Bishop of
Huron, in an address at the reg
ular weekly super meeting of the
Ingersoll Kiwanis Club held at the
Ingersoll Inn, on Thursday evening
• last. “That is liberty as we know it,
whether we recognize the factor or
not.”
“We are fighting for democracy
and for the liberty, but you must
not value the two equally; and if
democracy as a political system has
shown the most terrible evils—and
none worst than in our own genera
tion, maybe—the cure for it is a
fresh baptism in divine energy, of
thaj. concept of equality and fra
ternity which is essentially the heart
of the Christian message. To make
democracy anything like an adequate
expression of political or Christian
liberty we have got to see to it, it is
at least decent, that it must mend its
ways and slough off some of the
terrible evils which have sappped its
vitality and brought it to pass that
hundreds of our young men today are
doubtful as to whether or not demo
cracy is worth fighting for.
“It is the only conceivable politi
cal principle through which that
pricelless thing liberty can express
itself, ’it cannot do it through to-
litarianism in any form; but this
thing the providence of God has
given us in that age-long tradition of
democratic liberty preserved to us
* from the savages of the wilds of
northern Europe, ’ this thing can be
and is the only thing that can be
politically an instrument to act, as
Christian things do act if they get a
chance, as the salt of the earth and
the light of the world.”
President Alex. Yule was in the
chair and there were many guests in
atendance. E. A. Webber was in
troduced as a new member, and sub
sequently drew the evenings booster
prize. Kiwanian Arthur E. Izzard
announced tiie ice carnival for Fri-
day, February 23rd. Attendance was
reported as 79 per cent
The speaker thia week will be R.
L. -Stratton, London, vice-president
of the Scout Association, whose sub
jeer will be “Scouting Values." A
committee from the 1st Ingersoll
Troup have been invited to this
meeting.
Kiwanian Rev. H. E. Merifield in
troduced Bishop Seager to "a group
of ecclesiastical, industrial and pro
fessional leaden of the town, banded
together under the banner of service
to their fellofr men.". He briefly
reviewed his lordship’s career in holy
orders, with his episcopacy jn the
dioceses of Ontario and Huron.
“He is a scholar of recognized
ability," said Mr. Merifield, "A Can
adian at heart, a man who under
stands the trend of Canadian life and
the life of humanity in the world to
day. He is an excellent preacher,*
an able administrator and no mean
after-dinner speaker, I present to
you my bishop, my friend and yourfriend, the Right Reverend Charles
Allan Seager,"
Thu gathering ntuod and applaud-
ed the visiting speaker, who tm-
nounced his subject as “Democracy
and Liberty.”
Bfeiiop Seager noted a certain
confuting of thought in the minds
of many persons, whereas there
never was * period in story when
clear thinking was more neceaaary.“We hear on every wde,” hesaid/ “that we are fighting • war topreserve democracy and liberty, asIf these two things were identical.I find on the part of a large number
of people, and I think a gond many
of our young people, a serious result
of this confusion of thought. The
feeling it this: ‘We are fighting to
pr>M-rvn democracy; is it v.orth
while? Is democracy as we know
it worth the price we are paying for
ita preservation? That represents
a distinct undercurrent of thought in
Canada today. People will admit
that the fundamental principles of
democracy are sound, but when they
perceive what they thnk to be the,
appalling hash we have made of these
principles in working them out in
practice, a real doubt exists in their
minds as to whether the thing is
worth the price we are paying.
“Of more recent times, people who
ere feeling along these lines will also
admit that the alternatives for dem
ocracy which have been proposed,
such as Communism as worked out
in Russia, or Fascism, are worse than
democracy itself; that no serious
man, they think can entertain
either as a substitute . for even a
demoncracy which is in their opin
ion not highly successful. There
fore they feel they are prepared to
go on and fight for democracy, but
it is because it is the only thing they
can see that has any good in it at
all.
“Democracy which was an old
thing became the instrument and
agency in the impulse of Christian
liberty applied socially and political
ly, the speaker contended and con
tinued by saying, “if there is any
body here who is indifferent to the
Christian Church and does not think
much of it he would say I was just
trying to drag him into it. I wijl
agree with him this far, that no man
can live the Christian life as the
New Testament exhibits it, apart
from the life of fellowship in what
we call the Apostles’ Creed, the com
munion of saints, fellowship of bap
tized believers; that we can say to
all men the New Testament does not
know any Christian at all apart from
sharing of the individual in the life
of worship and work and mass inter
est pt the Christian Church.
“That we will say. But what I
am most concerned with at this mo
ment is not to boost the Christian
Church or even to preach a Chris-
tion sermon, but to help clear up con
fusion which it seems to me exists in
many minds that since democracy
has shown so many faults and evils,
and if democracy is expression of
Christianity in the world, there is no
doubt that it is worth fighting for.
If we turn the thing over and hold
it up as it really is, and see the
human institution called democracy,
which is the only valid instrument' for
liberty politically expressing itself,
then surely with the burning passion
that is in our blood for liberty we
will do our bit, as I know we all do,
to endeavor to make democracy less
evil than it is. The evils,of demo
cracy are diseases and can be cured,
and in my humble opinion some of
the worst of them—although as Kip
ling says, that is another story—
could pretty nearly be cured over
night."
Kiwanian Rev. C, D. Daniel, ex
pressing the thanks of members and
guests said that a. verbose pronounce
ment on the address “would be add
ing tang to a summer’s day or frag
rance to a rose,” so he left the mes
sage at that, telling the speaker:
“We are very grateful for the way
y.ou have, I think, helped to clear
away some fog and brought us to a
new conception of this great exper
ience of democracy and liberty."

CANADA'S HEALTH RECORD
FOR 1939
The people of Canada enjoyed ex
ceptionally good health in 1939. The
mortality rate was 9.5 per thousand
of population as compared with 10.6
in 1937. In 1939 the record (offic
ial figures not yet available) was ex
cellent as indicated by the very low
deathrate among approximately 1,-
<250,000 of Canadians who hold pol
icies in the industrial department of
one of the large insurance companies.
Not only were the deathrates in
1937 and 1938 the lowest in the his-
in Canada as did the three other com
municable diseases combined. To
day deaths from whooping cough,
despite a reduction of 40%, outnum
ber these from diphtheria. The
mortality from diarrhoea and enter
itis has been reduced by 12% in a
single year and by 75% in 10
years. Death from childhood con
ditions have declined by about 25%
in 10 years. The Canadian record
for fatal accidents in 1939, showed
improvement over the preceding
year and a drop of 30- per cent as
compared with the figures for 1929.

mortality rates for 1939, form a new
low for tuberculosjf; pneumonia,
scarlet fever, diarrhoeal dis

Chief interest lies in tuberculosis.
Today this disease is number 3 in
the list of causes of death of Can
adian wage-earners, instead of num
ber 1, as it was only 11 years ago.
The current deathrate is 7% lower
than in 1938 and 45% lower than
1929. As a result of this reduc

lives have been spared every year.

WAR SERVICES
The Canadian Lepton War Ser
vices recently opened in London its
first overseas residential club for
Canada’s fighting men.
The building, which hadn’t been
occupied since it* erection last year
and which was leased for the dura
tion at an amazingly low rental, is
one of the moat modem and best
equipped in the city. Situated in
Gower street, near Euston street
station, and just a stone’s throw
from the theatre district, the new
club will accomodate 72 soldiers.
Erected last year by Mrs. Cecil
Chesteron, founder of the "Cecil
Houses," as a home for small-wage
girl earners but never used for that
purpose owing to the outbreak -of
war, the building has a large recrea
tion room, library, dining-room, and
lounge in addition to well-ventilated
bedrooms each accomodating four
guests. On the roof of the struc
ture is a sun terrace where may be
enjoyed healthful relaxation and
physical training. An easily-reach
ed air-raid shelter, erected by the
London County Council, is at the
i car.
The Legion is operating the club
on a strictly non-profit making basis
as a service to Canadian troops who
visit London while on leave from
their training camps or from active
duty in France. Bed and meals are
being provided at two shillings, six
pence a day (about 60c) and all
other facilities of the club may be
used free of charge.

PRISON SUNDAY
MARCH 3rd
To give impetus to their prison
and police court work, the Salvation
Army has designated Sunday, March
88, as “Prison Sunday," through the
entire Canadian territory which in
cluded Bermuda, Newfoundland,
.Aln-ika as well as the whole of Can
ada. The Salvation Army in the Uni
ted States will observe “Prison Sun
day at the same time.
Through its local corps in almost
every centre of Canada the Salvation
Army carries on, all the year round,
a most comprehensive work among
prisoners. As a result there annually
walk from behind prison bars thous
ands of ex-prisoners who are re
turned to society as contributors to
the commonwealth instead of men
aces.
In addition to the regular year-
round prison work—counsel to pris
oners, aid to prsionera* families, pri».
on meetings, etc—an annual concert
ed effort is made to reach and influ
ence spiritually all inmates of jails,
prisons and penitentiaries. On this
date, called “Prison Sunday,” virtu
ally every institution in Canada
where^law breakers are incarcerated
is visited by a Salvation Army group.
Part of the duties of the Salvation
Army police court officer is to visit
the relatives of prisoners. Here is a
typical letter recently received by
a police court officer of the Army;
“I could not retire to my bed unHl
I had written you. I cannot or do
not know just how to express how
grateful I am for all your kindnees
in helping my wife, for 1 had nearly
lost my mind worrying over her. I
have had a hard fight to go straight
since I lost my mother. She had
faith in me, but I failed her. To
you, the only person who was willing
to take a chance on me, I promise to
never stray from the straight line
again, and by so doing show my
gratitude and by God’s help I will not
fail.”
In every province of Canada the
Salvation Army maintains work in
police courts and prisons. Officers
are ready to take care of prisoners
turned‘over to them by magistrates.
Many thousands of beds and meals
have been freely provided. A com
prehensive rehabilitation work is
conducted by the Army.

A Scout Good Turn Sorvico For
Every Soldier’* Home
A good turn service for the home
of every soldier where no male adults
are left was officially announced
from Dominion Boy Scout Headquar
ters at Ottawa, as the first Dominion
wide synchronized form of Scout
Wartime Service. When this Sol
dier’s Home Service has been well
organized, some other form of na
tional wartime good turn will be tak
en up.
Relieving Womenfolk of Heavy
Chore*
The Soldier’s Home Service calls
for the taking care of all kinds of
“home chores” which as the result of
enlistment of menfolk have fallen to
the lot of women and small children:
Snow shovelling, bringing in the coal
or wood, putting on or taking down
of storm windows and storm doors;
in the spring and summer preparing
and taking care of gardens, cutting
lawns, etc. In rural or village com
munities it may mean taking care of
poultry and the family horse and
cow, particularly on stormy days.
Securing Name* of Soldier Famtlie*
In some scattered areas it will be
difficult to compile the needed list
of soldier families. • For this task
Scout leaders will welcome the co-
ojieration of all local or district or
ganizations of soldiers’ wives or
similar bodies. Information also
will (be welcomed from individuals
Mjho may know of families needing
such- help.
No Job* Where They Can Be
Paid For
It is made clear that the good turn
service is intended only for families
lacking the means to pay for the
doing of such miscellaneous jobs. In
other words, no jobs will be taken
from men needing the money . for
doing them.

SYNOPSISLee Hollieler. returning unexpectedly from a trip abroad to the Circle Vranch, his home from childhood. Istroubled by atgne of neglect Joey, anold prospector friend of Matt Blair,Lee's foater father and owner of theranch, tells Lee that Matt has killedhimself, probably discouraged by hardtime*. The ranch is going to ruin andVirginia. Matt's daughter, i* visitingthe Archers, her aunt and uncle, inNew York. Her uncle wants her to•ell the place to Milton Bradish. oldassociate of Matt's. I-ee persuadesVirginia to return to the ranch. Mrs.Archer follows her. accompanied byStanley, son of MUton Bradish. Stanley thinks he may be able to discreditLee in Virginia’s eyes.
The recollection of the intendedslur made her kinder to Lee thanshe had meant to be. She danced
three more times with him. Towardthe end of their last dance Virginiaturned her head and laughed softly.“Look, Lee! Just outside the
door. I’m going to bring her in.”His eyes followed hers. Beyondthem was an open door, its shaft oflight cutting into the outer shadowsand, caught in the edge of the light,-they saw a gay little figure, with adark, vivid face, black eyes that
burned with excitement, and a scarlet mouth. The slim body swayedslightly to the music, with a ripplinganimal grace.As Lee looked a( her she slidhastily out of sight with an impudent lift of her chin. He laughed.The little devil! She’s Josefa
Ramirez, and her father L FranciscoRamirez who used to be a sheepherder and has now risen to the
dignity of his own ranchito. Matthelped him to get it You can counton Francisco. His father was a servant to Don Luis Ceballos."“Very interesting," said Virginiasweetly. “But not much of it seemsto be about the girl You’re holdingout on me, Lee."
“Nothing to hold.” Lee was alittle curt about it.Someone else claimed her and sheleft him, her smile cool and sweet.Lee hesitated, a trifle ruffled by theuncertain ways of women, and thenwent out by the door where the girl

poured its joys and troubles into hisears. Josefa was merely Francisco's
pretty kid to him.
Josefa pouted and sulked, andconsoled herself with the others.Therefore she was flattered, but not
particularly surprised when anagreeable young man caught herhands and said teasingly prettythings to her when she was fleeing
discovery on the night of the dance,nor even when a swift grey car, along, fascinating monster that wasa haughty rich relation of all the
cars Josefa had ever seen, appearedout of shimmering distance a fewdays later. It stopped before thestraggling adobe buildings where a
pretty girl leaned against the plastered wall. The young man apparently had no other errand than
to ask his way, but he lingered,talking to the vulnerable Maria,and left presently with a quick,oblique glange at the girl
A day or two later the car passedthat way again, and yet again.Once someone was with the agreeable driver — that girl, favored
among mortals, with the shininghair and rose-leaf skin, the girl withriches in her hands and Lee Hollis
ter at her feet.Josefa let the car pass with asulky stare, but the next day it cameagain, and this time Stanley wasalone. They were conveniently out
of sight of the ranch house, and hestopped and invited her for a ride.She went, thrilled with luxurious
ness and arrogant speed.After that there were other meetings. boxes of sweets, small giftswhich Josefa prudently hid. He was
amusing and gay, an ardent youngman, with a facile tongue for compliment and a taste for kisses. Heteased Josefa, not very delicately."I’m jealous of that fellow Hollister; you like him better than ybudo me. He was coming to the Circle

Slanty Gano knew what thatsample was. He had watched Lee
Hollister swinging a pick to get it.It had come from the spot whereMatt Blair’s will-o’-the-wisp samples had been dug.
Slanty stood glowering at it forsome minutes before he slid out.cautiously, with no wish to meet a
man he both hated and feared.• • •
If Slanty Gano was curious
enough to pry into Lee Hollister’saffairs, Lee was equally observantof Slanty’s. He did not like Slantyand he did not trust him. He did
not care for Lawler, either. Therefore, when he caught st glimpse ofSlanty and Lawler slipping behindthe shelter of a cedar thicket one
day, he picketed his horse a safedistance away and followed. Moving lightly, with an eye for betraying stones underfoot, Lee swungdown to a shelf just above thepoint where they had disappeared,dropped flat on it and wormed cau
tiously out to the edge.Voices came to him. He couldjust see the two men about thirtyfeet below. Both men were halfdrunk, Lawler morose, Slanty argumentative and boastful Lee heardSlanty’s taunting voice.“Talrin’ orders from Lee Hollis
ter yet? Ye’ve been keepin* yourselfso scarce I thought he must havefired ye.”
“I ain’t takin' anybody’s orders,I'm boss around there. I take noticethat you keep tolerable scarce yoreself when that hombre is around."
“Don’t worry about mei” Slantywarned him belligeren" “I’m "oin'to be rich some day. you see if Iain’t And I ain’t aimin' to work

muck"I got a big idea,” Slanty finishedcraftily. “That’s what brings themoney in. Come on. le’s be ■movin'."
Voices drifted to him, a man's,low and laughing, a —trl's in smoth
ered remonstance, more coquettishthan angry. Lee flicked out hismatch and strode lightly around thecorner of the house.
He thought he saw a flitting shadow. but it vanished and he couldnot be sure. A cigarette made a
point of light in the darknessten feet away. Stanley 'Bradishstrolled toward him.
"Hello, Hollister." he said indifferently. “That you? I thoughtheard voices out here."! “Did you?" Lee was noncommit
tai but his eyes searched the darkness back of the house."I was probably mistaken. Coming in?" Stanley tossed his lighted
cigarette aside and started on.Lee's eyes were on the halfsmoked cigarette where it had landed. still glowing. .“When you’ve been in this part/
of the country a little longer," h/.said evenly, "you'll use better judg- •
ment than that. A fire, like some.other things, is easy to start, butnot so easy to put out.”
Stanley’s annoyed stare followedhim as he strode off.
“How you know I worry my head weeth Lee Hollister?"
"Now what the devil," he musedthoughtfully, “did the cow handmean by that?"
The next day Stanley made a trip
to Saunders alone and found hisway td the office of Gideon Morse.Cdunselor-at-Law. ‘
‘ “I'm Stanle- Bradish," he saidcasually. “I'm staying at the CircleV^rapch. That little matter of theether woman—suppose you leave itto. me.”
* Gideon blinked, bur forebore comment. He had a letter from the
elder Bradish. as definite as a lettercould be, considering how much ofit fay between the lines,
"My son is spending a few
weeks at the Blair place. Heis not yet associated with me inbusiness and is. not acquaintedwith the detaift of the proposed
purchase.”It looked like a bad leak somewhere .• » »
At fifteen Josefa Ramirez was abeauty, with glowing black eyes, a
dusky flush under ad olive skin,and a* slim, gay, lancing body.Young Mexicans arrayed themselves
in holiday best and rode miles outof their way to spend an hoyr orso at Francisco's ranchitcf indknives had flashed more than oncefor her favor.Only when Lee Hollister stoppedal the sheep ranch was there some
thing noticeably different about her,like the sultry sullneaa before astorm. He had known Francisco forwears; the entire household exploded• into hospitality at his approach and
he said .persuasively. “But easterngirls are different. They're cold,Josefa. They’d throw over the best
kind of a chap if they caught himmaking a little harmless love to another girl. Why I know a case . . .*’Amusing for Stanley, and not
without the flavor of adventure;dangerous enough for Josefa, storm-swept by jealousy of a girl from another world.
If Mrs. Archer was firmly convinced. and Stanley Bradish cynically sure, that Lee Hollister was
working to establish himself comfortably at the Circle V, either bymarrying Virginia or otherwise
making himself indispensable to her,certainly his actions did not go farto disprove their suspicions. Heseemed to be merely hanging
around^ with no apparent affairs ofhis own tliat demanded attentionnor any disposition to acquire them..He had established himself in an*
abandoned miner's cabin just beyond Turkey Gulch, making itweather-tight and sufficiently ship
shape for simple .needs, and cameand went at will.There were no bolts nor bars, andin his absence the curious could in
spect as they pleased. Slanty Ganodid it. So did Lawler, nursing agrievance and only too anxious tofind something to satisfy it. So,
quite privately, had Stanley Bradish,critically surveying the ground forreasons of his own. None of them
found evidences of dark motives orhidden activities, unless, perhaps,the large rough chunk of quartzlying in full view on a shelf might
He yawned and stretched, thesobered man of the two. The watchful face above drew back just in
time, as Slanty looked up andaround.
When the two men went on downthe slope the rock shelf was empty.
For nearly a week Lee's "cabinhad been empty. Virginia began towonder why she had no dailyglimpses df a tall figure riding her
range as if he owned it, or goingcalmly past her door to visit oldfriends in the bunk house. She rodeoyer to see Joey and dropped adiplomatic question or two. but Joeyhad not seen Lee for days. Oddthat he had not said anything to
Joey about his plans. Perhaps hewas ill up there in his cabin, andalone. Someone ought to go. ; . .
She burned Black Lightning's
head and touched him into quickeraction.Thi little cabin looked lonely and
deserted as-’ she neared it. Insidewere orderliness and simplicity.The bunk on the other side of theroom was nearly made and a Navajo
blanket lay across it.
She went around slowly, looking-at this ything and that. Before the

when their Majesties the King and
Queen visited there. We were all
very happy to accept the invitation.
I am sure the day of their visit to
Ingersoll is one the memory of which
we will all cherish. Papers were given
on India. Letters were also read.
these were very instructive, telling ofthe unity and loyality of the peoplethere to the Empire. Mr». DonaldSutherland gave a very interestingtalk on her trip to Ottawa and awonderful description of the recep

Many shut-ins were remembered
at the Yuletide season, with plants,

We are all busy with Red Cross
work, each one trying to do her bit
and as we work, we can not help but
think of the latter part of our Ma
jesty the Queen’s broadcast to the
women of the Empire. We all have
a part to play and I know you will
not fail in yours, remembering
always that the greater your cour
age and devotion, the sooner shall we
see again in our midst the happy
ordered life for which we long. Only
when we have won through to an
enduring peace, shall we be free to
work unhindered for the greater hap

kind. We put our trust in God who
is our refuge and strength in all times
of trouble. I pray with all my heart
tliat He may bless and guide and keep
you always. I extend my apprecia

Chapter is due to the co-operation of

EGGS—FOOD OF HIGH QUALITY
Grade Al or Grade A eggs give a
food of high quality which can be
used for all purposes. Grade Al eggs,
which are produced on inspected
farms operating under a special per
mit from the Dominion Department
of Agriculture, are not available on
all markets, but Grade A eggs arc
sold everywhere in Canada.
Keep the eggs covered in a cool
place, preferably in the refrigerator,
and you retain their quality and
flavour.
Break a good, fresh egg and you
find a thick, transparent substance
completely covering a round, yellow
yolk and holding it in place.
Cook a good fresh egg properly,
and you have a food of mild but dis
tinctive flavour, very palatable and
at the same time rich in nutritive
value.
The Consumer Service Section,
Marketing Service, Dominion Depart
ment of Agriculture, recommends
the generous use of eggs, which are
economical buys at prevailing prices,
and suggests to Canadian homemak
ers a few tested recipes for “Scram
bled Eggs” and “Omelets.”
