LWiuuately. perhaps, for the gen eral political good of the state, the Joseph campaign has been quiet and gentlemauly. Fortunately, be cause the possibility of the kind of a campaign he usually puts on is what keeps really big men out of politics. Tho present status seems to be that Norblad and Corbelt are the favorites and the winner is pre dicted from these two only by favoritism. In othor words, Norblad supporters aro Bare of Norblad's victory und I lie supporters of Cor belt are positive he will win. Neith er prediction Is made on a foundn lion of facts largely because there are no facts available. What ihe composite public mind has decided with respect to the vurious candi dates, It anything, Is still a mys tery. Unless something out of the ordinary happens between now and election time the mystery will re uialn unsolved until then. Some of tho old political heads who are ardent Hull supporters liuike an interesting prediction. They cay that the political pendu lum which seeniB to have nSw Bwung widely away from Hall, has ulready begun Us return swing and by election time will have reached the apex of tho upcurve expressed by a general turning to Hall as the solution of Ihe question: "Whom shall I votu for?" While interest ing, this prediction has no more clement of fact than the others. It la probably batted almost entirely on the hope that such n thing will occur. Public imagination uud enthusi asm jias not been fired by any one ofjtio candidates which Is Ihe same lis-ysuylng that there Isn't a really (jo"od cam pulg ner in the lot.

The fact seems to have been thufc people who were opposed to tho .'carnival were opposed not to the carnival Ideii but to the typo of show that wits held lust year. Tho committee which Is w orking on the i-unilvnl plans for this year Is rep rcsentutlvo of the entire commun ity. II contains In fact, representa tives front every Rervice organiza tion In tho city. This committee was selected by tho president of the chumber of commerce, Maurice Nenhind, nrtcr n mass meeting of 01'Kiinlzullou representatives voted unanimously to ito ahead and give a carnival, specifically asking that such a carnival be given under the auspices of the chamber of com merce. The chamber directors passed favorably upon the project und so we have I lie present able committee fiinctlonliiK under the direction of Walter Fisher. A new note appears In the plans for the festival this year. It Is to be a great "Dougla County Home coming." All former residents of Douglas county will be Invlled to return and frolic here with us for iwo days. 1 here will be a big queen tgntest the first one to be held here In several years.

In the main its function Is to smooth out the peaks and valleys In annual supply and demand so to regulate the flow of products that orderly mar- ketlng will result, in discharging this function It is giving a real ser vice. Hut tie farm board cannot regu late total supply, nor the ratio of total suppiy to real demand. And If this ratio is out or line prices will reflect the relation. The re sults of over-production cannot be dodged. Withholding the surplus will postpone such results, hut un less there is underproduction the following year so that there will be a place for the holdover sur plus, prices must eventually give undr the pressure.

One day Knarf came running up in great excitement to 'Mij, Elor, Hanld and Yam the other little ' shadow-children with the turned-about names. "Do you want to buy some fresh eggs?" be demanded. "There they are," He Said. They gazed at bitn In surprise. "Fresh eggs!" "Yes. I've just discovered thou sands of them. I'm going into the egg business. If you want to buy some, I'll tell you where they are." Now they weren't In the least anxious to buy, since they never bothered about buying anying but ate with their masters and mis tresses, as all shadows do. Never theless, they were curious to see them, so they begged Knarf to take them where they were, prom ising to find some customers for him "if they really are fresh." "Of course, they're fresh," he said indignantly. "They were laid this morning." "But so many thousands of MISS PAT & By Elcnorc Meherin; Author of "Chickie and Other Famous Serials fcHAPTER 42 ' One throbbing moment Pat sat before the radio. She stared at. the paper where she had so careful ly wrlten on five different lines, with the symbols under each letter, "SOS Patricia Dawn Grand Canyon." Would someone pick up, the frnu 'tfc call?- Could aid reach this lost cyclopean wilderness in time? "Before sunrise tomorrow, if Ace made sure of the trail, the two men would he on their way, taking the child with them. Long before this the miracle of the rescue must be wrought. Pat knew that she dared not wait. In a white-fire of realization, she knew that her life and the little boy's life would be saved only If she had courage to take that mad, des perate leap. T will," she told herself with the heart and eyes almost popping from her body. She pulled her flying suit and parachute pack from the chest un der the cabin seat. Hurry! Ace might return. She grabbed these up and without a second thought went racing across the plateau. Throbbing and every nerve screaming with the violence of her emotion, Pnt stuffed the pack un der the loose rock at the base of that great red shaft of sandstone. No one would find them here. The two men never came within 100 yards of the place. Why should they? Nothing here by the abyss. They'd never dream she might jump. For precious moments. Tat rest ed her hot moist cheeks against the stone. "Lord. I forgot the straps to tie Hilly to me, need food, need a light." In a calm that, was the high note of hysteria, Pat stood srgatn In th cabin. Her brain whirled' it flashed with a hundred wild sug gestions. Peter cut the straps from the other two parachutes, the men mt'iht try to jump after her. Why. Slim wouldn't even trust the child one hour to her care. Afraid she might run away with him spoil their plans now In the moment of triumph. He was precious this kidnaped boy. They must deliver him safely to that other fellow before they could collect the "dough." Fear that she might In some way cheat them wan Sttm's only reason for taking Billy on that difficult trail to the spring. Her first dark flurm passed. Pat knew , this. They'd not care If she billed her pelf; give a careless shrug, per bans, if she leaped alone. But If she snatched tho child from them, robbed them of the booty they were to receive, they'd track her to the depths of hell. Slim would dare that jump. He'd dare anything. Then cautiously, like a practiced thief. Pat went through tho prnvls Iwits. take as much as she could noKsibly cram Into the pockets of her flying suit; take It from the bottom and set the things bark In exnet order.

They weren't hen's eggs. Oh no! Each egg was as big as the end of a pencu with a dark spot In the center. Instead of shells they were covered with jelly almoBt the same color as the water. They were at tached to eath other. In long strings like a chain. "What kind of eggs are they?" they all asked. "Duck-eggs. Who else would lay eggs in the water?" "But where are tho shells?" MIJ wanted to know. "Shells melt In the water and turn Into jelly. Everybody knows that. That only makes them bet ter, for you can make jelly-omelets out of them without using any I jelly." This certainly seemed a great advantage. Then, too, the fact that they had no shells made it quite impossible for them to break, which was a good thing in eggs Still they were not so sure about their being duck-eggs. Somehow 11 seemed to them, that duck-eggs weren't laid In water. "And now you must help me to sell them," said Knarf, keeping them to their promise. Who could they sell them to? They didn't know, especially as they couldn't get them out of the water since they were so slippery that they always slipped back. Down the road they saw Mrs. Next-Door-Neighbor going to mar ket with a large egg-basket on her arm and they hurried after her. "We'll make her buy them," said Mlj hopefully.

Carefully she set the cabin to rights, tied her provisions and the straps that would bind the boy to her in her sweater and started again for the dizzying overhang ing rock. Her hands were almost without power; they were clammy with ap prehension as she jammed the hardtack and cans in the pockets' of the flying suit. Button the pockets down fast. Even a stunt marvel like Jimmy Collins, with dozens of jumps to his credit, tells of lost flashlights and shattered wristwatch.es. Now everything was ready. Now all she needed was to await Billy's return; seize the first chance to wander off here with him. Once behind these irregular rock piles, yank on the flying suit, blindfold the litle trusting youngster; strap the pack to her back, and the boy tight to her chest. All she needed now was the time for this. And the heart to use it the high unfalter ing heart. She walked out on the rock and for a split second glanced down the sheer, abysmal precipice. She would open the parachute now have it all spread out and ready? Sometimes a 'chute does n't open. But If she spread It nil open he forehand, it might drag mUht catch on that ledge down there just as she plunged. "No! Foolish to open It," she thought, stifled with the image of herself and Billy hanging for one ghastly moment; hanging In mid air.

And her head spinning around, very largo, very light, spinning in this llprrowdlng fog. She got into the cabin, got water and drank greedily. Cooler now, steadier now.

OREGON so much, brings It upon himself; only such weaklings fail when the jump must be made. Pat bolstered up her courage with thoughts like this. She sum moned images of Guy and of her father to strengthen her. She was a strong swimmer and would buck the tide. How often Richard had Inspired her to unguessc-d efforts with a word like this. Expecting the high, fine, valiant det-d, aud expecting it so shiuingly had won it. Pat kept his brave, gallant face before her. Even with death at his elbow, Richard had not faltered; he reached a hand to his wife as though he ..would comfort as though he would uplift. She re called this last beautiful gesture of her father. She clung to It. If Richard were near now, how he would cheer her on! Shu felt his hand as so often he had rubbed it along her neck, saw his blue teasing eyes wink from under the curled sandy lashes; fancied his happy voice: "o to it, Pat! My Pat you can! She felt cooled and calmed. She sat there steeping herself in re membered phrases that through. nineteen yean had goaded her ever on ever ui Suddenly she sprang to her feet. Ace was coming across the stony levels. He saw Pat and waved. As he drew near, she perceived his hot swaggering excitement. His i face steamed, and his large, warm black eyes accosted her boldly. "Whersh Slim?" "Gone for water." Ace gave a thick, loudly joyous laugh and swept an arm about Pat: "Thash good sweetie thash lucky. Everything lucky today. Horseshoes everywhere. Ha ha horseshoes on the trail honesh " "You found a trail out?" Pat asked, standing quiet ignoring his hot, pressing embrace.
