"Yes. Why not? Do you mlnd?"

"I want to stir the Newburg and see

He was far too modest for that.

And come to think of It, she dld not

"I don't believe it," Sylvia demurred.
"You're onlj bluffing. Well, to con-
vines you, I'll take up the brick."
Fetching from the Pantry a steel
fork, she inserted the prongs in the
crack and pried the offending brick
out of its hole~
Instantly the dog snatched from the
space beneath a handkerchief ¢on-
raining a small, hard object.
Sylvia chased after him.
"Bring it here, Hall That's a good
dog: Bring It to Missy."
The setter came fawning to. her
side and unwillingly dropped his prbm
at her feet.
As it fell to the ground, out rolled
such a glory of Jewels the girl could

There was a string of diamonds,
dazzling as giant dewdrops; a pearl

Sylvia panted, breathless. She had
never seen such gems, much less held
them in her hands. How slle ~onged
to slip the rlngs upon her fingers and
try tSe effect of the diamonds about
her slender throat !
Prudence, however, overmastered the
impulse. Marcia might return and sur.
prise her at any moment. Before that
the treasure must be returned to the
place from which it had been taken.
Gathering the rainbow heap together,
she reluctantly thrust It Into Its blue
leather case,, snapped the catch, and
placed It once more under the brick.
Then with railer she stood up and
wiped the perspiration from her fore-
head,
It was not until she was again in her

quiet her quick breathing that she dis-

All up-to-date villains in these days
were gentlemen. Not that she had
ever encountered a villain in the flesh.
Still, she had read romances about
them and was there not one lt~ every

cult to recognize.

It seemed as If she must have some-
one to shard the Joke. But no one
should. No! Nobody should be the
wiser because of her. The poor, hunt-
ed fellow should have his chance.
It was a little venturesome and
risky, she admitted, to obstruct ~ustice
and should she be found out she would,
without doubt, be clapped lnto Jail
Still she resolved to take a chance.
After all, who could prove she had
known Stanley Heath to be what he
was? Nobody. Sl~e would not even
let him suspect it.
The important thing was to await an
opportunity and soon~before he was
able to be about--retdrn the hand-
kerchief she held in her hand to its
place beneath the brick. Then all
would be well. This should not be dif-
ficult. It would be quite easy to get
Marcia to take up Mr. Heath's supper.

It was not alone the buffeting of

walking against it that had trans-
formed her into something radiantly
lovely. From within glowed a strange
fire that made her another .creeture
altogether.
"Why--why~Msrcia [" breathed Syl-

Stanley Heath slept without a break

"Mr. Heath has a high fever and can

FARGd STOCK
YARDS PRAISED
Kansas City Manager Calls Plant
Most Complete Layout.
Fargo's Union stockyards is one
of the finest ever constructed in
the United States, in the opinion
of W. H. Weeks, vice-president and
general manager of the Kansas
City Stock Yards company, who
made a personal inspection of the
new Fargo yards. He predicts a
great expansion of the livestock in-
dustry in this area.
"It is the nicest, most complete
little layout I have seen any-
where," said Mr. Weeks, who man-
ages the second largest stock yards
in the world.
"It has the best hog immuniza-
tion plant I have seen any place.
"The chutes for loading and un-
loading and in fact all of the hand-
ling facilities are up to date, and
the whole plant is so complete and
efficient as to make any stock yards
manager envious.
"I was astonished at the excel-
lent ground water supply that has
been secured at the plant. That is
an asset of exceptional value, as a
plentiful supply of cold water i~
one of the prime necessities in a
stock yards.
*'With such excellent facilities
provided here, and with the calibre
of men that I know are back of
your enterprise, I am certain you
will see a .great development of
your livestock feeding business
throughout the whole territory to
..which this yard will naturally
Cater."
Grange Backs
Co-op Theory
Co-operatives for consumers as
well as producers were advocated
by the National Grange convention
in session in Sacramento, Calif., as
a defense against monopoly and as
a method of substituting the ser-
vice motive for the private profit
motive now dominating industry.
"Farmers can and must help
themselves through self-help co-op-
eratives if they are to fully enjoy
the fruits of their toll," said E. E.
King, master of the Washington
State grange, in presenting the res-
olution.
See ~rious Handicap
The convention represented 1,000,-
000 organized farmers in 35 states.
The statement accompanying the
recommendation of consumers' co-
operative action, said:
"The growth of business and fi-
nance has placed unorganised agri-
culture at a great disadvantage,
and this circumstance will increase
as time goes on, unless corrected
bY the farmers themselves through
cooperative action.
Combats Profit Motive
&Under our present monopolistic
system one of the greatest difficul-
ties is that industrial workers are
unahle to buy back goods which
they themselves prc~lttced. We even
get involved in disputes interna-
tionally because of some of our
combines wanting selling advan-
tages. Consumer cooperation is a
solution to this evil dnd should be
encouraged. The private profit mo-
tive should be replaced by the co-
operative motive of service."
New Rml Policy
Helps N. Dakota
North Dakota is among the ten
states which will be benefitted by a
plan adopted recently by western
railroads to give shippers and in-
dustries complete pick-up and de-
livery motor truck service at no in-
crease over existing freight rates,
announces the Chicago Association
of Commerce.
Other states benefitting will be
Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota, Neb-
raska, SOuth Dakota, Colorado. Mis-
souri, and Wyoming, according to
the Associated Press.
Complete co-ordination of present
rail freight services with organized
motor truck fleets at both shipping
and receiving ends was assured by
the agreement, the association an-
nounced.
Co-ops Encourage Education
One of the more interesting
phases of farm cooperative work
lies in the encouragement and
knowledge given young farm peo-
ple.
Contests are held for livestock
and crops raised by these budding
farmers. Instruction ~s given them

tunity that few of their forebears
had.

AGENTS DISCUSS "
LAND PROBLEM
In conference at the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, connty
agents and extension workers gave
attention to means of co-operating
with county planning boards in the
problem of land use.
The main features of the land
use problem were outlined at the
session by C. W. Crickman of the
United States department of agri-
culture, with E. J, Haslerud, assis-
tant county agent leader of the ex-
tension service, presiding.
Mr. Crickman said it will he de-
sirable for the extension service to
make available to county planning,.
groups InfOrmation on the crops
best adapted to Conserve the soil
resources and at the same t/me
make possible a satisfactory in-
come.
Planning boards should be ln-
~for~ned, Mr.~Crickman said, of all
land in each county suitable for
foredt and recreational use.
Dr. H. L. Walster said conserva-
tion of agricl~ltural resources and
planned use of land were subjects
receiving attention from the Ro-
mans 2,000 years ago, and that in
England 400 years ago some of the
same problems being tackled by
conasrvation-minded citizens.
Several phases of governmental
activities in the land utilization pro-
gram came up for discussion. John
Dexter, AAA representative; N. D.
German, county agent leader; How-
ard Wood, director of the Resettle-
ment division for North Dakota;
]~d. Gralt,: field,r~lpreoentatl~e of th~
Resettlement division, and It, 1~
Holland, agricultural economl~t~
were all scheduled to speak. In
addition to these, A. G. Arvold,
head of the college public disCus-
slon department, spoke on neigh-
borhood activities. -

Herbert Graham, field represen-
tative of the Williston division of
the Farmers Union Co-operative as-
sociation, resigned his posi~0a
here and left immediately for S~kn-
ley, where he has accepted aP-
pointment as assistant supervisor
