; Who'n TalUing Depression?
JUST who. Ih shouting utnl howl
infl the moat about conditions
now, and why? These questions
apparently were puzling Prank
Alley bo he set out on a Lour of
personal Investlnalion around our
city.
A total of 14 people were inter
viewed. An attempt was made to
tails Willi people of different call
lugs so that a genuine cross sec
tion of public, thinking nnd talking
gfiuld be had.
' Of the total nunilier, five weio
laboring men who were out of
work at the lime they were inter
viewed. Not oue of the five made
any great complaint. They had
had a pretty hard time, they salil,
tilt were optimistic about Hie ht
tnre and wore, withal, reasonably
content. The spirit of optimism
fllid courage lliey displayed was en
couraging, Mr. Alley said.
I, The oilier 39, however, were less
optlmlBllc. A few heads of husl
iess were Interviewed but for the
iiSost part tUis 3D represented men
(Hi Salary store salespeople, coun
ty officials and olliers whose sal
aries are the same now as for Ihe
past" two years. Without excep
tion, this eroup of people wore
talking "hard times" expressing
fear of the future and were very
pesHlmiHlie.
.'. Why? Kor no real reason at all.
Their salaries are thu same uow
as before. They have no real fear
of being dieharged or being laid
off. In addition, living coins have
decreased approximately ten per
tent according to figures recently
released from the department of
commerce. And yet, many of these
people openly stated that lliey
were practicing rigid economy and
were not making purchases which
they wanted to make and normally
jvoulil make.
Perhaps here we have an ex
ample of one of the reasons why
there Is a slackening or business.
Mr. Alley talked to llll average
representative people who could
ifloril to go right ahead and who
bad noihlng In rear yet they were
talking about the "lelllllr depres
Hon" and were curtailing Iholr nor
inal expeuditures.
" There are, of course, underlying
economic reasons which account
for the fact Unit in most lines
busluess Is not eutlrely satlstac
tory. Talk alone will mil cine
these ills. Const ruclivf ihinUIni:
and couslruclive acting will cure
,theni.
Talk, however, and talk HUe
that reported by Mr. Alley, by pro
pie who have no leal reason to
complain, will make It all the hard
er for conditions to return to a
scinhluticc or prosperity.

Wbeu 1 read In Wednesday eve
ning's Issue of your paper that the
rare fern, Woodwardia Kedicau,
could be found grow ing in only I wo
places in the world, namely, Camas
Valley uud Cow creek canyon, why
I really bad to laugh. After all,
Ibis world is not so hig and wide
hut that wo oil en run across peo

Por several years I have had
this line fern growing in my yard.
My Ill-si plant was biought to me
by a filend, who hud taken a

had been growing In her yard fori
more than twenty years, having'
hon brought from tile woods near
liillaid by a well known pioneer
woman of that locallly.
'I'heu again, last spring another
Woodwardia Kedican was present
ed to me, a mammoth nsil weigh
ing more than sixty pounds and re-
ipilring Hie aid of two men to con
vey il to our car. Prom tills plant
I made several dlvisiuus. And this
leiu was located just over the
front yard fence of a mountain
farm home so very near Uoseburg
that it will have to remain a
secret. Mm many, many miles
from Cow creek eauyou and (Jamas
Valley.
Ihe Woodwardia Kedican has
been discovered In Itainsey can

Irom this place was secured by my

I were driving down the grade In the
quiut evening light. "But what

But Mary's generous opinion,
or the world's spiteful one, made
little difference after all to Ardeth.
Tranquil days and deep, star
filled nights, each one bringing
returning strength to Ken. Little
by little reality pushed in upon
him once more. He watched the
girl moving about the room and
his mind groped back over the
past days. Something like terror
came into his eyes.
It's all wrong, dear," he said
slowly. "Oh, you shouldn't have
done this! What will people
what will everyone say? And '
his thin hands moved nervously.

Ardeth had been sitting by the
window shelling peas for dinner.
She ruse and came over to his
side. She held his head against
her breast, kissed bis closed eyes.
It's all right now," she said
softly. "It's only wrong when
w e're apart, Ken."
lown In the eity the affair
created a large ripple of excited
gossip. The Spy seized upon it
eagerly and carried an insinuating
article blistering with m mi end 03.
Cecile was furious with anger.
She did not love Ken but she had
no intention that another womau
should have him. She put on the
role of the outraged wife and spite
sharpened her tongue.
"That is tbe woman who ruined
my married life!" sh stated dra
matically, her green-blue eyes
flashing hatred. "Ken has been
carrying on this affair all these
years that is really why I left
him--"
From lip to lip It went, repeat

link Cecile had never considered.
And Cecile had fo:golten. too. that

I'pou Tom had fallen the task
of closing the simp and selling the
stock which still remained.
The small store was haunted

As though some one had died

w hich would never know Ardeth
again. What would life do to her
he wondered, now that she had so
carelessly defied it? Somber days,
when he dismantled the place,

Had Tom been less concerned
witli his own unhappy thoughts he
w mild have seen that the little
Chinese girl was fighting a mcutal

Put not until the last day, when
Tom was checking over the last of

The man's face darkened. "Weill
. . . . never mind, Ah-Ling. There
are always rats in the world, you
know."
The slant black eye flashed.
"There should be rat catchers to
catch thoee rats." She caught bur
breath, suddenly blurted out, "Do
you know who is this spy?"
Tom's eye went wide with
amazement at what he read lo her
face. "You know?"
"Cyril Underbill!"
Tom's hand va lying on the
desk and it crumpled, into a broad,
freckled list.
"How do you know that, Ah
Ling?" "My cousin Lee, ho ic the cook
for Mr. Underbill. He knows much
of the private affairs of this ;
gentleman." Ah-Ling's lip curled. I
"Did you notice this this sort1
of hatred with which he writes?)
Do you wonder why that hatred j
is there, Mr. Corbett?" The words!
were pouring from her lips in a:
frightened torrent. T will tell i
you. It is because Mrs. (ileasou ,
hates Miss Carroll. She has great ;
influence with The Spy has Mrs.
Gleason. She is often a visitor at
Mr. Underbill's apartment. A very,
favorite visitor-" she tinished in
sinuatingly. "You mean "
Kosie Ling's face was red, but
site was valiant.
"A Chinese boy about an apart
ment sees much, Mr. Corbett.
And Chinese tell little to white
people. But I know much
that Mrs. Gleason does not think
I know. Much that it would worry
her to guess 1 know. And Miss
Carroll was always kind to me."
Tom's face was very serious.
He got up and walked over to the
girl to stand looking down into
the small, intense face.
"You mean, Ah-Ling, that that
you want me to believe that Mrs.
Gleason has been paying indiscreet
visits to Mr. Underbill's apart
ment?" Tom's conventional tongue
found difficulty in finding fitting
words.
Ah-LIng looked frightened, but
she stuck stoutly by her guns.
Her face was poppy red.
"Would you call a visit of of
several days when she is supposed
to be down south indiscreet, Mr.
Corbett?"
"My . . . gosh " breathed Tom.
fervently. Then, with mounting
anger. "And the dirty little cat
had the Indecency to speak that
way of Ardeth "
"That's why I tell you!" Ah
Ling's voice broke and her face
was working. She has always
been so good to me, Miss Carroll
has. So gentle. And they they
tear her to pieces now!"
"Bully for you!" Tom exploded.
"I do not like to make trouble,"
Ah-Ling explained earnestly. "My
cousin Lee will be very angry that
I have spilled the beans. But
there are times when one must
spill the beans. Isn't that right,
Mr. Corbett?"
"Right as rain!"
"And " the girl went on
breathlessly, "Mrs. Gleason is bad
at heart and Miss Carroll is always
kind. It is not good that the good
should suffer for the bad. And I
am telling this to you because you
will know what to do. 1 will slick

make him. my cousin Lee,
he will have to 1 ell the truth even;

me. Put I'm doing it for Miss Car-1
mil. I don't care it it will helpj
her" ;
Ah-Llug had begun to cry. She,
pulled her beret bard down on her
head and groped her w ay out of j
the front door. 1
Tom was overwhelmed hy the
knowledge so astonishingly banded
to him. His first feeling was blind
rage at Cecile and Cyril Underbill.'
In his fancy he was crashing his
fist full into the sneering face of j
the mau.
But his usual cool judgment
quickly followed on the heels of
this. Wouldn't do. just to raise a
row get the thing into the dally
papers that wouldn't be so clev

weapon in his bands. He must use

it to the best advantage when he
struck for Ardetb.
A few moments of deep thought,
then Tom put on his hat and left,
locking the front door of the little
shop.
When Tom climbed the front
steps of the Parker home and
asked for Mrs. Gleason. Cecile sent
back word that sh was not well
and asked to be excused.
Tom checked a grim smile. He
had never been a favorite with
Cecile; still less so, he imagined,
since he had been attentive to Ar
detb. He drew a card from his pocket
and wrote on the back. Replacing
it on the butler's tray, he directed,
"Take that to Mrs. Gleason and
tell her that I will await her."
