C. Leth, Polk county agent. Leth has had numerous requests this fall from farmers asking about early pruning and his ad rice is in most cases to cut out only dead wood at this time of year. " 'i The recommendation usually made is not to begia regular prun ing in Polk county orchards until December usually and better yet in January or February. Early pruning can be responsible for severe winter injury on trees and for this reason s is not recom mended. ;' In seasons when extreme cold weather occurs In tha-'fall the trees usually are badly damaged for several inches back from the pruning cuts whereas the un pruned trees often times are undamaged. Go to Washington UNION HILL. Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Heater have been in Castle Rock, Wash., on business trip. Many Stocks At new High Turn Profit Talcing Tide to Come Through With j. big Gains NEW YORK, Oct. 2 5-(;P)-Lead-ing stocks successfully turned a profit taking tide today and fin ished with gains running to 2 or more points, many at new highs for the past year. - While best marks were chiseled down In the majority of cases at the close, favored airerafts, utili ties, rubbers and specialties were well supported throughout. A few steels and motors did better after lagging in the forenoon, while Oils, rails, mail orders and farm implements lacked rising vigor. : Business Outlook Good Brokers seemed encouraged by the fact that, after the lengthy market upturn, offerings were so well absorbed. The continued buoying influence of business op timism, it was thought, provided the main cushion for ; the selling thrusts. i . The Associated Press average of 0 stocks wassup .1 of a point at 53.4, another new top since October 7, last year. It was the fifth consecutive advance. Trans fers, despite a fast brief interval at the opening in which the ticker tape was behind, dwindled to 1,487,900 shares against 1.C78, 350 yesterday.

KENDRICK CHAPTER XXX We've sweated six pounds off of that pill-box, Carew, who you. shipped in last night, and learned just what he told you at the Inn no more." "That's all he knows, Vance." Stan left his chair to sit on the edge of LeRoy's desk.. "We're getting close to the place where we can make that tub Bessinger and his fat wife loosen up with some informa tion. The trouble is I'm afraid it won't do us much good." "Why? If your girl friend told you the truth last night Bessinger certainly has all the dope on the eleven of diamonds." "Not all the truth. That's the rub. He doesn't know much more about it than Fowler did. If we force him to talk now unless we jail him he and his wife will be in the morgue with Fowler th next day. You've skipped a couple on your list Toby and the spick. . Give them to me and. Ill tell you where I think we stand."- . . . ... . -' Toby Husroe has been under my nose 'for years. His worst crime seems to be carelessness where the gambling laws are concerned. Juan j told you the truth about his stretch oa: Welfare Island. We know very well' he didn't shoot at you on the ' roof. He was in the kitchen with a cracked head." Stan picked up the papers from the desk. "These came from Fow IersearrV "They were La a specially buDt compartment in the upholstery of the , rumble seat. Scarlett, of the auto squad, found it. Maybe they ' mean something to you thejrre Greek to me. Look." He laid the twelve sheets side by side on the desk. On the first one was typed four tines in&erman: Eint mekr vri rekn Wtniffer wis tin Bauer ' j Zq dtxt. Hand ' i Btkamm dot Paket Te other sheets contained tingle line each. Stan listed them one under the other on a pad. He and LtRoy stared curiously at the result: - - -Vaal 74 rhombic dodecahedron val SOOOOster ap bw Vaal 82 rhombic dodecahedron val 70000 sterapbw Vaal 70 rhombic dodecahedron val 40000 ster ap bw Fsmith 90 rhombic dodecahedron val 65000 ster ap yel F'smith 60 rhombic dodecahedron val 25000 ster ap yel F'smith S3 hexakis octahedron val 30000 ster ap bw Jags 52 hexakis octahedron val . 20000 ster ap yel Jags 63 hexakis octahedron val 26000 ster ap yel Jags 70 hexakis octahedron val 45000 ster ap bw Kim 65 hexakis octahedron val 25000 ster ap yd Kim SI hexakis octahedron val 28000 ster ap bw Stan picked up a pencil from the desk.. His hand was palsied as he totaled the figures 424,000. "Lord in Heaven, Lelloy," he said in a weak voice. "I don't think it was dope came ashoi-e in that milk bot tle. This was fowler's big game hunt. Vince. Thi words mean Vaal, Fauresmith, Jagersfontein, end Kunberly. The first figures are car ats. The last figures are pounds sterling. Four hundred and twenty- four thousand pounds approximate ly. The two men killed, Vince, died because they knew too much about two million dollars worth of uncut . diamonds!".. - LeRoy started at ' the sheet granite-faced. ."The German, sJtanT ;. - t "One more than a ten." but less than a Jack. Show your hand to get tha pack. Th answer is rignt in front of you, Vince.1 Count the lines I've written on the sheet." "Eleven." f "Sure," said Stan. "The eleven of diamonds!" i The office was still for a long time. Shallow furrows showed on LeRoy's forehead, growing deeper as he con centrated on the paper before him. Stan shoved himself higher up on the desk until one foot cleared the floor. He became so engrossed in a problem, which had dimly taken possession ox his i mind, that be started when the Captain broke the silence with a question. "Vaal and these other names you mentioned what are they?" "Diamond mines in Africa. Rhom bic dodecahedron diamonds have twelve faces the hexakis-octahed-rons have forty-eight. The BW and the YEL at the end describe the color blue-white and yellow. That's a choice collection of unusual stones, Vince. I can think of only one world event which might possibly have brought them together the coro nation of England's new King. , LeRoy picked up the phone. "Get me Milton Perry."! He covered the transmitter with one hand. . "Ton think those diamonds were stolen T" Stan nodded. "Without a doubt." Haven't yon a description on file in the department ?" j "Probably. It wouldn't come to my department. If anybody in this country knows about them Perry wilL" - ' i ".: : "The lapidary?", LeRoy nodded and spoke into the phone. "Milt? LeRoy. What do you know about eleven uncut diamonds all over fifty carats ? Have you had anything from the jewelers' pro tective?" !: ; j t... ". Stan sat for five minutes as Per ry's voice clicked over the-phone, growing in intensity. Then LeRoy said: "Now, I wouldn't be asking about them if I knew where they were. Thanks, MfltP "Mr. Perry seemed to bef in terested," Stan remarked. "I don't wonder. There's . sv re ward of twenty-five thousand pounds been offered ' f or--those stones. That's some wad, Stan, a hundred and twenty-five grand." "Whafa the story?" "They were collected by experts to fill an order from eleven Indian princes Nazims' or something like that who wanted them as a token of friendship to the King. The costly stones were shipped under heavy guard to Amsterdam, Holland, for cutting. When they arrived in Amsterdam they had turned into pebbles a clean job of substitution. Right now they're hot as Havana on the fourth of July." "A couple of men have died from that heat prostration Vince. It took a jewel thief full of cunning and courage to lift those stones. Suppose yon had taken' them where would you try to sell them ? The Captain took a large hand kerchief from his pocket, unfolded it, and absently replaced it. "The buyer would have to have the money first. Even hot ic like that should bring half a million." , . t "Check.-Kl 'Then I'd have to know thai the buYer wax rrwiVwl mnA afw "And had an organization big enougn to oispose ox the stones ... . iter iney were DOUgnt, and cut Otherwise Vfirrr Wvcr nnlM K interested. Do you know anyone with all those qualifications ?" "I think I do," LeRoy said slowly, "and he didn't come back to Miami, against my warning, just to watch AS M mm me oangxaus run. Fred Faweett came into the of fice carrying the milk bottle Stan had left in the morning. "A stood Bfft'af ni-inia " hat mmlA l.rulv Tk check with those wo have of Toby Munroe." He placed the bottle on LeRoy's desk. "No others, Fred?" the Captain asked. Smears," said Faweett, and went out. The Captain regarded the bottle with the same look he might have given a ticking bomb. "What on earth would Toby be doing with the bottle ?" Stan slid off the desk and grinned. "Well find out tonight. Maybe he was drinking milk. Ill see you on the Swampfire at eleven." 1 The Swampfire's powerful twin engines were turning over easily when Stan went on board shortly before eleven. Four other cruisers were berthed at the Royal Palm Dock, but only one of them showed a light to indicate anyone might be on board. - Stan stepped quietly on the deck, and turned around. The slip was lighted with a few overhead bulbs, dark shaded, and strung along on wires. The illumination fell in hard flat circles, battling against an at mosphere, soaked to the point of saturation until every shadow was enhanced. From somewhere along the dock he had heard the sound of a small boat scraping against one of -the darkened cruisers. He listened intently, but there was no repetition. It was impos sible to see beyond the flat pie-pans of light. With a feeling that his nerves were becoming tempera mental, he dismissed a strong in clination to investigate, and walked aft. . A tight strung awning of brown canvas roofed a -cockpit at the stern, forming a neat place for deep sea fishing. Stan stepped under the awn ing. On the starboard side, an open hatchway led below to the main cabin. On the port side three steps led up to a platform. The dim re flection of a binnacle light showed Stan a steering wheel and several controls, shielded by a thick adjust able glass. A small upholstered seat was provided for the comfort of tha pilot. ; At the right of the seat hong a chart of the coast from Miami to Key West. A form darkened the hatchwmy. Bruce Fsrrsday came ap from be low and greeted Stan. "The Com mander's in the engine room with Tolliver," he said. "We're all set. Where's your friend LeRoy?" "Hell be here. Did your daughter and Mrs. Staunton decide to come along?" . "They're in the lounge up for-' ward. It's rather warm below. Here's LeRoy now." A step sounded on the dock, and the Captain was visible for an in stant under one of the lights. A moment later he joined them. The Commander came on deck, and with a word of greeting, stepped up onto the control platform. "Ill take her out, Mr. 'Farraday. We're going out through the Safety Valve and I know every inch of the way. Is everyone aboard?" SUn nodded. "Captain LeRoy and I will go ashore and cast off. Come on Vince!" ' ; "We're towing a tender," Daw son warned. "You better make sure that it's clear of the dock." "Ill watch it," Stan promised. '! He cast off the stern line, and watched Farraday haul it aboard, thinking hoW hard people will work when they call the work play. A splash at the bow, told him that the Swampfire was freed of aer moor ings. With a boathook he pushed the small tender out from the dock, and went back on board. LeRoy fol lowed, picking up the small gang plank behind him. (Te Be Continued) - ' i faajiltfil a?

Pit Values Hold Steady In Spite of Large Drop in Wheat at Liverpool i Offerings Light - CHICAGO, Oct. 25 -( - Not withstanding -2 cents a bushel -tumble of ...Liverpool - quotations, Chicago wheat values today main tained relative poise, and at the last 'more than -overcame fraction al downturns.- - The principal cause assigned for the' Liverpool drop accept ance of delivery of United States yellow hard wheat on contracts at Liverpool was construed in various quarters here as a stim ulus for holders of Chicago wheat futures. Much of the wheat' avail able in the region adjacent to Chicago is of the yellow hard variety. Notable dearth of offerings here became evident in the last 15 minutes of trading, and prices moved up swiftly. May and July rose a full cent from the day's bottom level, and ended around topmost figures reached. At the close, Chicago wheat futures taken as a whole were unchanged to Vx cent higher com pared with yesterday's finish, Dec. 65,-. May 67-68.- . Closing Quotations NEW YORK.
