like to make a fourth for a rubber
of bridge? The two ladies in the
next section will play.
Jaxie exchanged ' glances with
Kirby, who indicated the merest en
couragement. He did not want her
to join the women at all, but he
knew that Jaxie was the kind of
person who tries to please every
one and harbors malice toward none.
That was part of her sparkling dis
position. He had no wish to influ
ence her now.
Her smile for Mrs. Sanders
crinkled in the corners of her eyes
and twinkled at the corners of her
mouth. "Why " yes of course.
thank you. Did you rest well this
morning T"
"Well enough, she snapped. "Did
you get your work done?" address
ing Kirby.
Oh. yes, thanks, he nodded. He
had risen when she approached
Jaxie s section, and remained stand
ing in the aisle.
Well, I didn't tell you that you
eouldnt use your seat," she repri
manded him. "You act as if I drove
you out of your section."
Oh, not at all! be assured her,
"It just happens, fortunately for
me, that Miss Cameron and I have
found Interests in common and
we've had a very pleasant day. In
fact, I'm grateful to you for precip
itating our acquaintance. 1 11 go
into the lounge while you have your
game." He smiled at Jaxie.
Her eyes followed, with reluc
tance, bis retreating figure.
Mrs. Sanders won the rubber.
bridge being hegone cherished in
terest in living. She deplored the
stupidity of her opponents and
called Jaxie severely to task as her
partner, whether she bid or not. Her
delight was making trump and
playing the dummy band, which she
managed to do. three bands out of
four. She insisted upon a second

The Misses Yates and Colbin were
apathetie, participants to whom a
game of cards, won or lost, was a
trivial incident. When one of them
was dummy, aha exasperated Mrs.
Sanders by talking incessantly: and
when they were playing it amused
them to make an error.
"I'm no gambler Miss Colbin
boasted, "and it's a good thing, be
cause l never have any luck. But
even if I did. I wouldn't approve of
it. I dont believe in taking chances
oa anything. - -
wIm sure ef that, Jaxie thought
with amusement. "And you wonder
why yon miss so much of life, I sup
pose."- She : tnumphanUy finessed
for Miss Colbin's nine-of-bearts
trick with her ten, because the tim
orous lady wouldn't take a chance on
playing her king to force Jaxie's
ace. -
"Oh, I guess I should nave taken
that," she regretted, "but I thought
yon still had the ace, and I thought
you would piay it."
"I should, bad you played the
king. And that would have made
your jack good for a trick. As it is,

new AAA act may run as high
as three million dollars, commit
teemen from the Willamette Tal
ler counties were told In the
first of a series of district con
ferepces here Jto explain the act.
, Total cash benefits. If all farm
ers participated, could run as
high as 14,500,000 but it was es
timated that no more than 7 per
cent would co-operate. Thus
benefits! jto all farmers were ex
pected to exceed J3,5"0,C00.
Benefits to wheat, farmers will
be figured on a total acreage
of 986,293. The figure was ar
rived at on the basis of a 10
year average acreage. The law
provides for a state allotment on
a basis of 88 per cent of the
total acreage and judging from
past production each farmer can
qualify for a payment of 12 cents
a. bushel on an average yield.
Check on Depletion
Farmers will be checked on
their total soil depleting acreage
rather than on total wheat acre
age because fall wheat was plant
ed before the act was passed.
N. C. Donaldson, f tate committee
secretary, said the purpose was
to lay the groundwork for con

time when you should have taken a
chance.'
The little man in khaki and boots
passed through' the aisle, glancing
briefly at the four. Miss Colbin
blushed suddenly.
"What do you think of the un
couth people on this train? I never
saw such a sordid lot. Would you
believe it that tramp of a looking
fellow actually tried to speak to me
this morning. I call such presump
tion an insult tried to start talking
to me about the scenery. I just
glared at hira and turned my back.
The wonder of it was that he was
man enough to take the hint and
leave me alone. He might be one of
those mining tramps, for all I
know."
Why, I shouldn't call him a .
tramp," Jaxie contradicted. "He
looks to me like a gentleman.
"Huhl" snorted Miss Colbin.
"Gentlemen do not speak to strange
ladies without an introduction not
real gentlemen."
It was Jaxie's turn to flush un
comfortably. "Oh, I beg your par
don. Miss Colbin, but that is quite
permissible among travelers. He
does seem to be lonely, too."
"I don't know why it should be
proper 1 At least, that wasn't the
way I was trained and I don't ap
prove any such familiarity."
"Would you mind. Miss Colbin,"
reproved Mrs. Sanders with
sheathed scorn, "giving a little more
attention to this game? . You have
trumped two of your partners
tricks. Of course, that gives us more
score, but I ' prefer to earn my
points, by shrewd playing." :
I'm sorrv." murmured Miss Col
bin, "but the way that man looked
at me made me angry. I suppose he
will try to be friendly all the rest of
the way. I'm glad I put hira in his
place without an -instants hesita
tion. -' If more women treated in
solent men like that they wouldn't
be so' presuming." Her didactic eye
included Jaxie, who chuckled in
wardly and ignored the implication.
She had become acquainted with
plenty of strange men, without con
ventional introductions, of which the
last and not the least was Kirby
Elliott. , - '
After the game she slipped into
drawing room A for a chat with
Mrs. Dade. The children were shy
and subdued at her entrance, but the
toy-etrewn floor indicated day of
activity. -
"My but yon look fresh and cool,"
Carrie -" Dade" marveled, hastily
clearing papers and books aside for
her visitor. "I feel and look like a
rag. Bat having this room to myself
surely has made it a lot easier for
me today. I hadnt known there
could be such a difference."
"I thought it would be much bet
ter." Jaxie held out her bands to
ward the baby, who appraised her
for a hesitant moment and then ex
tended her chubby fingers, bouncing
happily. "Why, she remembers me,
the precious."

Rally Dwindles;
Rails Sink Low
NEW YORK, March 17.(Jf
Early rallying tendencies faded
from the stock market today and
forenoon gains running to 2 or
more points among leading indus
trials were reduced or transform
ed into losses of as much in the
majority of cases at the close.
The one encouraging; factor to
analysts was that .volume died
down. Transfers totalled 642,370
shares compared with 1,023,000
on Wednesday's relapse. The As
sociation Press average of 60 is
sues was off .5 of a poin at 41.7.
Backwardness of the rails was
a depressing influence through
out. The composite for this group
for the first time in its lengthy
slide, broke to a new low since
1932. Utilities also hit bottom
fince 1935.

Heyman, Hosch

Scio Speakers
SCIO Power at much less than
the present rate was promised in
statements made by speakers at
the utility meeting in Scio in
opening the campaign in this com
munity for formation of a Linn
county utility district.
"Unlike many other movements
for improvement, this project does
not contemplate placing addition
al taxes for any kind of incum
brance on property," A. Hey
man of Albany, one of the prime
movers of the plan, stated in out
lining the project.
Payment for the installation of
power from Bonneville is proposed
to be made by revenue bonds,
which will be liquidated in 40
years," Heyman assured his hear
ers. Heyman's statements were- cor
roborated and elaborated by Dr.
J. F. Hosch of Bend, candidate for
the democratic nomination for
governor, and Roy Hewitt, a Sa
lem attorney.

Hosch declared that everything
depends on the farmer and the la

would profit materially by a.
change from private to public dis

"The right of asylum is

"Mighty few of us from the
