C where ho Is do ing work for Oregon counties, Is being urged by the various coun ty courts In the newly created Oregon fourth congressional dis trict to become a candidate for representative In congress from that district. Although Cordon has not yet given any Indication of his Inten tion, It is to be hoped that he will run. There is no man In the new district so well qualified for the position in two all-Important re spects. Guy Cordon is an expert on the subject of law and legis lation concerning public lands, and he has spent so much of his time In the national capital these last few years that he knows his way about, and would not have to waste valuable time If elected to congress. His background of experience would make It pos sible for him to begin at once about where the average first termer leaves off at the end of two years. In these times that would be extremely Important to the new district. The new fourth district will not elect Its first congressman until 1M2. Until the new man Is seated Congressman Jim Molt, now representing the huge first district of which the new fourth was a part, will be our represen tative. Molt has always been a good fighter for his district and lor Oregon. It Is characteris tic of him that he will continue lo do his effective best for us even though the voters of the southern Oregon counties can never vole for him again for the position he now holds. Molt Is vuluahlr because of his experience. Guy Coition will bo a valuable man In congress for the same reason -If he can be prevailed upon to run. We should urge him lo become a candidate. What Crop For the Future? A PICTUIIK came to the desk the other day a propa ganda picture, no doubt, but nevertheless a picture of over whelming appeal. It showed a vast field, dotted will) a muss of whitcelolhod figures. There were estimated to be 17.0110 ol them all orphans of parents kill ed or lost In the war. They looked like a field ol grain, standing In ranks In their white clothes- owing the clothes and perhaps their lives to Ameri can generosity. And this thought came: Who shall reap the belter crop the Americans who sowed humanity by giving Ihese children life and l.ope, or the Japanese who sow ed shells and bombs, and made litem orphans? Cleaning Up a Mess MARC ANTONY, orating over the body of Caesar In Shake speare's play, cynically said. "The evil that men tin lives aft er them, the good is oft interred Willi their bones." All loo often it is so. Louisiana lias spent several years now try ing to clean up the mess lelt bv I he Huey lxng machine. The board of supervisors of the state university has only now got iiround to apologizing to seven young men who were kicked out of the university when they re sisted Long's attempts as gover nor lo censor student publica tions. A binall matter, .Ms, but the kind of thing which, as long as no amonds had been made, hung over the university and the state's good name.

CHAS. A. EDWARDS Some men came one day to Jesus and asked him to show them a sign from heaven. This query came after He had filled the country side with wonder at His signs. His re ply indicates that He under stood their unbelief was not due to lack of evidence but to lack of spiritual understand ing. He said to them, when evening comes you say, "It will be fine for the sky is red," and in th emorning you say, "It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and cloudy." You know how to distinguish the look of the sky but cannot red," and In the morning you The truth Is, most people fail to read the signs of the times in regard to the trends of the spirit of God. Why, for ex ample do we take Hitler as the sign of the times in Germany instead of Martin Niemoller, who choses lo obey God rath er than man? Is it the mili tary party, or that Christian spirit? Toyohiko Hagawa in Japan, who has tried to fol low the teachings and the life of Jesus to the extent that he has been called "Christ's fool." Our day rcvals signs for good and evil, and we must watch them with spiritual discern ment. Before following the crowd, know where it is going.

She stops the car. LAST PERFECT MINUTE CHAPTER VI As Kent turned to her in the sudden stopping of the car, some thing familiar rolled - over the scat and into April's lap. "Why, Nip," she choked, "whatever are you doing here?" What Nip was doing right then was barking, a snappy bark of protest because he'd been arous ed from a nap in the rumble seat. Kent began to laugh. It was the first time April had heard the sound from him and it did something to her. "Well, Nip, you old scoundrel up to the same tricks all over again, aren't you?" he said. "I'm sorry," April said. "He climbed in without me knowing. I'll turn back and park him." "Park him, nothing. Nip's been with us where we're going to day." He reached over to find Nip's head and patted it. And then his hand, homehow, tangled In April's fingers and before she could speak, he had lifted them to his lips. The firm resolution she'd made with herself to tell Kent she wasn't Ann, but April, began to crumble. And crumbled even more when Kent ,sald slowly, "Sweetheart it's sort of funny, Nip coming along. They say you can't ever go back, that you can't have the same day over again. But 1 have laugh at that jinx today." a feeling that we're going to "No, it won't be the same," her voice was breaking. "It can't be." Kent caught the hint of a sob. She felt him straighten, saw the puzzled frown. "You're not you're not feeling sorry for me?" "Oh, not that!" April almost shouted it. Relief spread on Kent's face. "For a minute you had me scar ed," he said. "But now I want to tell you something. All the time after the accident, when I was in the hospital, too darn proud to write you because of that quarrel we'd had, I was hanging on to one idea. I be lieved that if you and I could pack up and have a (lay to our selves in the hills, we'd fall In love all over again. That's what kept me going. You see how much it means?" April let herself be lulled. Back went the blinders on her con science; down went the resolu tions. If this day was so signifi cant to Kent, he must have it. Tomorrow, oh surely tomor row, Ann would be home. Mother and Dad would be back tonight and if all else failed, they could prevail on Ann to return. And April could explain everything to her sister, make her under stand. Why, it was like being an understudy in it play, pinch hitting until the real actress could come on the scene. Kent was saying. "Oil, the ma jor at the hospital was stubborn at first when 1 asked lor a leave. Said he wouldn't hear to it. Hut I said what was most important in a pending operation was to have the patient ready for iL And because he's a fine sur geon, he knew I was right." "Yes. ynu are right. Kent." "Nothing can lick me, Ann, if we're together again." "Nothing can lick you." Yes. Ihiit was It. She had to help him, couldn't let him down beTore Ann returned. He leaned back, a certain shy ness in his lace. Nip settled be tween them and looking down al his wiry head, April couldn't help I he smile pulling at her hps. Nip! Nip knew she wasii'l Ann.

The three in the roadster raced on in a com plete harmony of silence. Now and then, April threw a glance ot Kent. Each time it seemed as if she saw something else that made her pulse quicken. And when it appeared as if, ac tually, the drawn lines in his face were lifting, she could have cheered. "Where are we now, Ann?" Nip gave a derisive snort. April hushed him and said, "We are about to be welcomed to Jones burg." "Fine. I've always had a han kering to be welcomed to Jones burg." And a little later, "Let me guess, Ann. I bet there's a sign on the left that says, 'You are now leaving Crcstwood.' " "Y'ou're live miles too late," she said. "That sign was on the right and It said, 'Rockland, ele vation 1500 feet.' " ''Fifteen hundred feet above the clouds! A mere nothing. Why. if all comes out right for us, I'm going to keep up 15,000 feet above the clouds all the time." They laughed, fell silent again. The miles sped on across the county boundary line, passed the state park, to the fork where the red road led off, as neat and easy to find as if it had been mapped before April's eyes. Not long after they were on the red road, April spotted the windmill farm. "There it is," she cried. "Why, it's heavenly, Kent!" "Of course, and so are you." She hurried from the car so the perfect minute wouldn't be spoiled. As it happened, it was Hie last perfect minute' for quite a while. As Octavia had reminded her, April hadn't been on an outing since her lollypop days. One thing wits to titlk about a steak fry and another was to get a steak to frying. April helped guide Kent to what she figured was the best vantage point o nthe hill above the farm pasture. He carried the lunch kit, insisted he could build the gr As she carted the wood and stones to him, April became pan icky. This would be the give-away. Kent would know by her very clumsiness, by the way the steak tasted, that she wasn't Ann. t "Here," he was saying. "I think it's all set to light. Care ful Ann." She knelt to strike the match. Smoke curled up; the stones heated. "It's going'" April cried. And suddenly everything seemed hushed and beautiful in the glow of the burning fire. She fell Kent drawing her to her feet. "Ann," he said, and his lips were on hers and he was kissing her, hungrily, possessively- Deep within her. April fell Ivi- J PS P'Nrl05 " l .'II BCUFSOM WrtSWY. 90 PCOOf SCHttJlEf DiStiHt'5 CO??.. N.
