Counting your blowings may glvo you a touch of sinful pride, but it also helps you to realism how valuable some of the bless ings really arc; and Hint in turn makes it much loss likely that you will submit 'meekly if and when Homebody 'dome's along and trloq ' to lake them away from you. And the blessing that might, bo examined most closely Just now Ib "that familiar,' muc'ti-talked-'dT, take mfor-g ran ted tiling a free press. x You can appreciate it best by having a look at tho sort of thing that happens whore a free proas does not exist. "A current 'dispatch from Horllu to the Now York Herald-Tribune begins like this: 'Tho'nn.l press Attained now heights today in Its ehoico of vlo lont language to condemn the Czechs Tor 'arrogant, terroristic acts' in sudeten territory. Stream er htmdjines in 'Dor Angriff,' or gnn of -1'roimganda Minister Paul Josoph Goobbels, read: 'Sudeton land in (iroatust Distress Violent Terror 'of Czech Bands Unleash ed Mobs Raging Through Deut Belies La ml.' " PlcttiYo to yoursoir, now, the way yo.u would fuel, as an ardent und patriotic (iermnn, after you ha a Hud on that kind of diet for a week or so. Yu wduld be atralnlng at tho loush probably. He fore lojig you would bo in a frame of mind to support any warlike ac tion your government m I g h t chooso.to Indulge la, and in tho end you would probably hall war Itself igt a noble act or liberation and a blow against a shameful ty ranny. I Behind tho scenes, of course, uro wirepullers who want Hie whole 'Tcrninn nation to feel pre cisely that way. The nazi press campaign Is simply a means of making sure that Hitler will have solid support for nay belligerent course lie may take. And since no one can present tho other side of tho question since no paper In all Germany can hint tint these reports from Czechoslovakia are overdrawn tho press campaign is ' bound to succeed. And that means that tho (ier man people have been placed at tho mercy of their own emotions. They can be played upon by their own government, and they have no defense because every avenue through which their emotions can bo reached, every lulet for news and propaganda, is in the hands of the government. It is that sort of thing which a free press prevents. Propaganda does exist, of course, even where the press Is free, and false reports . do circulate; but there is always a counter weight on the other side. The citizen has a chance to use his own judgment. What Ik happening In Germany right now is perhaps the most powerful of ail possible arguments for a free, uncontrolled press.

It shows how recklessly peo ple back tho hope of getting some thing for nothing. WE uro told, thus casually, that seven billion dollars every year In gambling. In an equally offhand way, wo are informed that the na tion's annuul crime bill is 15 billion dollars. How docs anyone know about these things? The census bureau doesn't deal with them. Most people don't put the amount of their gambling tran sactions into their income tax re port, And the criminals and their victims certainly don't fill out questionnaires on tho cost or crime. Wboro do these statistics como from? THE answer is that they aro ,iiniDi 1'lmu tun r lit ilnur In tho truth, and they may be far from It. But at least they are startling.

PAi: OFF. r- WHV LOVE ON THE RANGE .BY NELSON The Story So Far A plot Is on foot to smash the Halter T, and "Blur" Ankrom takes a job there to help lovely Lee Truno. She buvos his life by shooting an impostor, K e 1 1 o n Dreaii but lie learns this cn!y after iJrean's accomplice, Hetty, causes trouble between them. Katchford, the sherlir, tells An krom that Chiydell, a neighbor ing rancher, is after tho Trones' laud because u railroad is going through. Ankrom accuses Clay dell. Chapter 2(i Claydell's Answer , Claydell's bustiy -eyebrows lrew sharply. ldown.,a,bove ihisn. yellow stare. ' Tiio' six-foot figure In his shiny black boots drew erect. "Is this meant to be a joke?'' he asked. "Doos it sound like a joke to you?" . . "it sounds to mo like the ravjng of a crazy man," Ulaydoll said contemptuously. "J)o you think I'd bo tool enough to do such things for tho sake of a paltry railroad right-of-way? Use your head!" "I'm usiu' It. Want to hear the rest?" "If it will give you any relief to elnborato further, by all means spin ahead." Ankrom nodded. "Tim railroad right-of-way Is not tho only thing you'ro after. You would indeed bo a fool to risk so much for that. But that ain't all. You plan to build a town alongside tho pro posed tracks about half a mile from tho valley housing Trone's homo ranch. Your ultimate objeet is to dam Trone's valley in an at tempt to boom Uat'ler T land to the hinirh nf timt.e-Hnelf nrtt (lie railroad Is going to entice in for you!" 'So!" Claydoll expelled a cloud of smoko fro mhis postrils. "A likely yarn," he jeered. "Tho only difficulty is In getting people round here to swallow it. I think that's where you're going u run up against a snag, mister." A calcu lating gleam shone from the yel low eyes. "Mind telling me where you gathered a I Ithese notions? Did Halchord unload them on you ? "Why Hati hfonl?" A n k r o m countered. "What's ho got to do with It?" "That's something I'd give a deal to know." Claydell inhaled deeply, held silent for somo lime while ho regarded Ankrom through the smoke. "I'll tell you somethlnt:.' "he said at last. "Tom Italehford's got it in tor me. He'd like nothing better than to catch me mixed up on the wrong sido of trouble. You see the point." "What point?" Claydell took a turn about the room, lie stopped to face Ankrom squarely. "Katehford gave yen these notions to focus your Inter est." "Why would ho want to do that?' "How do I knew? I told you he didn't like me. He's been laying tor me for years. The KaU-hfnrds are a breed who don't forget " "lVm't forget what?" Ankrom cut in swiftly. Claydell snorted. "Oon't forget anything! Years ago there wan a sort of raime war in this country. The ranchers hero wore trying to keep out nesters, squatters, home steaders. They succeeded till Trone came in. lie was a bell bender, and he brought a immh crowd with him. We couldn't budge 'em. I'm a sensible man, I hope. 1 saw the way things were going. 1 uus losing monev baud over list. The fight was at a dead lock. I recognized that Trone would never be licked." He paus ed to search Aukrom's face with his yellow eyes, then said, l threw in with Trone." "An" come out on the w in tit n side, eh'.'" There was a scornful mil to Atiktmn'3 lips ns he put the question. 'Ratchford't the One' "Yes," be said, "Trone and 1 won out. Old Katchford Totns father tried to bvak us by bring ing tn sheep.

Not long after tho thing was tlnlshed ho wont out back of the house one day an' blew his brains out. Do you understand now why Kntchford's got it in for me?" "What happened to Itatchford's sheep?" "They were found ouo morning at the bottom of a canyon." "Slick. Who had been in charge of 'em?" "Sheepman named Uoono Muffle. A surly devil an' still In tho coun try, by tho way." "Not any longer bo Isn't," An krom said, ami watched Clay dell's,f;ice intently. "I killed him this afternoon.' not not nibro than' anyone else 'would have shown under the circum stances. "Is that so? Why?" "Ilo was trying to jump the water at our southwest line camp. I mentioned It before." "Ho you did. I take it then the Jiaftor T still controls that water. If you need any more mon to hold it, let me know. I've aided Trone too long to lot him down now. I'd " he broke off abruptly, snapped his fingers. "Say!" ho exclaimed with more than usual enthusiasm. , "I believe you've about solved it!" "What aro you talking about?" "Those sheep! Hcffle would never take it on hlmsol fto try Jumping your water. A man who can be bought once can bo bought again an outfit, that'll use sheep once will try 'em out again!" You mean "Katchford. 'Vom Katchford. the sheriff, Is the man you're looking ror!"

HOW WOCJLT3VOU J,R WILLIAMS I ing range toward the Rafter T, was not convinced. Like his own accusations of Claydell, the ranch ! er's case against Katchford had a ' number of loopholes. ' Iloth the sheriff and the boss of the Swinging J undoubtedly hated each other. Hut whether the rea sons given by Claydell were the correct ones, Ankrom could . not decide. It was quite possible that neither the sheriff nor Claydell were behind these things which were happening. Kach. in thetr enmity, would naturally suspect tho other. Ankrqm's thoughts shifted to Hetty Struthers. It was plain to him now that hor words to him concerning Leo and concerning tho killing of Kelton Dreau were deliberate lies. She had been seek ing to prejudice him in her favor; to drive, if she could not lure him, away from Lee. . Ho recalled now Itatchford's ) killed by a sl6g from, a forryflve calibre pistol. The one the golden girl bad forced upon him had been a short-barreled thirty-two. How could he have missed the signifi cance of this these many (lays? Why the girl had said herself un der the sheriff's questioning that Oreau used a thirty-two she had forced upon Ankrom Drean's own gun! He laughed shortly. "An artful baggage if 1 ever saw one she'd ought to ' have taken up the stage!" 'What Happened?' It was nearly time for the moon to rise when ho reached the Raf ter T. lie stripped the gear from his buckskin, rubbed the nioistness from the animal's coat.

Trone looked up from some papers with u scowl as Ankrom entered. Ankrom fnw that the of new low hcth YOUR PURSE gaunt old man had been drinking, for there was a bottle almost empty beside his elbow and his eyes were red and surly. "Well." Trone grunted. "What happened? What's the matter with your ear? Did you drive them off?" This was not the reception An krom had been expecting. He squared his shoulders. "Isn't Lee here?" "Of course she's here! What's that go to do with what I asked you? What's the matter with your ear?" "A bullet nipped It." "Did you have a corpse an' cartridge occasion at the camp? What happened to the other fel low?" "There was a little shootiu'," Ankrom admitted. "What other fellow are you. talkin' about?" "The feirow that knocked that slice from your ear." "I didn't see. I was busy that particular time." "Weil, what happened?" Trone growled. "Say something'! Do I have to get a rope an' drag it from you?" t , "I shot up two or three gents an' the rest cleared out." Trone swore. "You tell it like a tea-party! Is that all you got to say? Wasn't Heffle there? If he was I'm bettiu' strong there was some action!" , "He was there." Ankrom drawl was bitter. "His light wa3 the first I biowed." Trone's glance flashed excite ment. "Clood! I'd have give a year of my lifo to have seen that! I'm glad you cashed his chips. What else happened?"
