OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1934 Marian Gordon by ,IEAXXE ttOWMAX BYSul'SIS: Lon and Harlan Caaad have vut all the turbulent vast behind them, and have em' barked on a lifelong honeymoon. Lon hat bought an old orchard on a mountain eide. and ta developing it at a tectton of email and faate tul homee. The (illllop theu have eaved tor their own houee. and it it at last complete and thr" 1 moved in. Chapter 21 THIEF AND then the Lionel Caaads took up the business ot living. Life settled Into routine. On early morning shopping trips to Walnut Creek, with Hero as a chaperone. Marian felt very matronly as she Inspected vegetables and discussed meat cuts. Lon was treated by the tradesmen with the respect due any man who could write a check for the price ot the orchard land he bad purchased. While Lon waa 1" the tract with surveyors,, or In r.ne little room be had built tor an omce adapting blue printed plans of future houses to the peculiarities ot the land, Marian busied herself around the house ex perimenting with recipes; experi menting wi new and attractive ways of arranging the dishes, the ifurnlture, the many gifts. Strawberries came in, were duly purchased, turned Into Jam and Ma rian, with pardonable pride reluct antly took them from the window sill where their ruby light threw rings on the white sill, and closed them Into the dark fruit closet. Sometimes, especially when Anne and her doctor ran out for a day, ;Marlan would think of the other life he bad lived, ot telephone calls which would send her rushing for a glimpse of life In tbe raw, ot long tedious days of monotonous assign ments, and of long nights when she lay too tired to sleep. Sometimes, also she thought ot Sliver Hondon, and once Anne mentioned her. "Say, Ian, remember tbe nurse on the Hondon ease, Koran RelllyT Well I think she and Cliff are going to be married," and when Marian had expressed surprised disbelief, "Silver only went back to the hospi tal once. Cliff had a temperature that night and Norah balked at let ting her see him, "She left tor the Islands a couple ot days later, without a word. Norah ays ClitC thinks she Just played the part of a good sport to pull him through. He'd never bad a woman take care of him before and be says If Norah doesn't mind playing sec ond fiddle to a dream, he might have a chance at some future happiness." And then Into their paradise ot perfect happiness, came the ttrst suspicion of a cloud. Marian noticed a peculiar abstraction In Lon- Sev eral times she surprised him check ing and rechecklng his bank state ment. Instead of the gaiety she had thought was part of Lon's nature, there came a quietness. He made several trips Into town without ask ing her to go along, and on the last ot these came In so worn, so white lipped, that she cried aloud. "Lon, what Is ltT What's hap pened to you?" He made a brave attempt to smile, then threw himself Into a chair, crossed his arms on the table and burled his head in tbom. "Lon, it can't be as bad as that Tell me dear." Instead ot answering he drew a crumpled telegram from his pocket and handed It to her. 70NDER1NQ, she spread out the creases and read: "Regret to Inform roe further In veetlgaUoD fuUW QArrddta gave Lanelnc P9"U of alo,-ner elou b wllh-lree lioie Uft to on declar Ins be wee to m.et rog veal tao we um rear ie'iulur eoeslej lib hit timul thU lake nbuN too feAO no reaeoe to .ueUoe H ft Tot h&4 preftotiiiy .bade aneve vour tounUea af .sr1ne oat raprnlh ! .. .

CaTAJN "What does It oiaan. Loaf she asked after a moment's bewildered study. "It means I'm sunk." he antweree thl.-kly. "Old (.anting, my guar dlan't secretary, hat decamped with my monoy." "Perhaps there's a mistake, Lon. He may be on hit way out bere. "No." cams the hopeleas tone, still muffled ht arms "LantlDi haled me. He ei peeled Oarrdutb to lane him tonne aotnaj money Instead ot Jutt t lift aenalty for actlnt at te rotary to my Inttrettt. Dm I trusted him," hit voice brok(s then a mo ment later he went on. "When 1 wired for money to huy the. place be auggetted 1 ute cath on hand to we'd receive the fiscal year's inlet est on the principal. "Then when things began to get under way and 1 wrote him, he didn't answer. 1 wired and be didn't answer. I kept on wiring until I realized something was wrong and wrote Eaton. No, lan, we've heard the last ot that money. We've got this land here and," he laughed, "that's all we have." Marian listened to tbe laugh and longed to reach down and lift his head Into her arms. "But It I do that," she reasoned, "he'll break down and then he'll hate me and hate himself for doing It 1 have to think of something . . . something." "Well. Lon," she began, "as long as we bave tbe land, It seems to me the thing to do will be go out and find tbe money to go on with your work." Lon looked up In sheer surprise. "Ian," he said, "and you a business woman. Where in the name ot good ness would I go to tlnd money tor an altruistic scheme like mine." "Places," she said vaguely, "not all at once, maybe but you could and enough to build one bouse at a time. And Lon tbere'd be a lot more dis tinction In winning out It you bave to earn tbe money with which to do It, wouldn't there?" Lon looked up and laughed "you funny kid, you are a tonic What would you suggest for the Immedi ate relief program of a chap In my fix?" "A cup of coffee," answered Ma rian promptly. Later she would sym pathize, but now It seemed to ber the thing to do was to keep up bis morale. She realized the bitter dis appointment ot bis shattered dream; unselfish as was Ita motive. "And, Lon, I made the grandest cake this afternoon. Believe It or not all three layers stood up Instead of sinking In the middle. It's a Wash ington, nope, a Baltimore, well, never mind, f m bazy on Ita geog raphy but Its topography's grand. And nuts and raisins . . . and If you'll build a fire I'll stop shivering. That fog comes straight through the Qolden Gate, shoots up over the hill and drops down on us like a . . . a . . ." she couldn't think of a simile and, seeing Lon start to arise, flew to the stove and the coffee pot. "TT AD a percolator ever worked as Tl slowly?" she thoughL Poor Lon, no little houses to build for the people he loved, people like bis mother. She spread a tray with a gay peasant cloth, then turned to the window. Fog, a heavy, low fog that would drench the tree tops by morn ing was scudding across the bine black barrier of bills to the west, pouring Into unseen canyons In swirls ot grey and black and foam ing out again In white billows. It was unutterably dreary. She started back then saw the move ment of a figure. Lon was standing on tbe edge of tbelr land and slop ing away from him lay the plot over which be had worked so faithfully these weeks. Winding roads cut through the orchard, made so that each house might date an unobstructed view ot the hllla. The lots were grouped In circles with a round playground at the huh for the Imaginary children who would slide down chutes pro vided by Lon, swing In his swings. build sand houses In painted sand boxes.

(By Charlet w. Auatln.) The question la often uked me as to the ranking Importance of the dairy industry of the United States at compared to other farm products. The following estimates were given by the California Dairy Council for the year 1928: The production waa 14 billion gal lons of milk. This amount poured Into 10-gallon cans would girdle the globe 15 times. , thus making a high way of milk 10 feet wide and two feet deep all the way. They further state thla amount exceeded by bnefourth the gallonage of all the gasoline uaed that year. The report adda thla "The consumers of the world paid In caeh for thla product five billion five hun dred million dollars." Some business, I'd aayl Thla amount was over one-fojrth the value of all farm products for the same year. Are we Interested m milk? Well, I guess so. The following extracts are taken from reports of Dr. E. V. MoCollum. neutrlt'.onallst: "Milk la a complete food, capable of aupplylng all nutrlenta necessary for the prolonged maintenance of growth, health and ability to produce and rear young. It'a the beat and cheapest food obtainable." "Butt3r supplies the vital food val ues In a most tempting and digestible form." "Cheese, because of Its high pro tein content, has three times tse food value of a roast beef sandwich." "Ice cream la more than a dessert: lt'a nourishing, atlmulatlng, and when properly made la an easily digested food." So one la Justified In thla sort ot a summary of the doctor's remarks: Anyone who drinks the minimum of one pint of milk dally, eata plenty of butter, takea a cheese aandwleh for lunch, and a liberal diah of Ice cream for dessert, lives better, longtr. stronger snd cheaper than the fellow quaffing beer, drinking "his toast" over champagne, or "dunking" his doughnut In coffee, or what have you. The month of October has been tet aside u "Milk Month" by the gov ernor of New York atate, and It is being so observed. Why not Oregon, my Oregon? If there la aurplua of market milk thla winter, the Industry la largely to blame for It. because It la "hollering down the well." FEW HOURS LIFE FOR QUADRUPLETS NEW CORK. Oct. 24.

() j The United Statea Lutheran church in America, in convention here today, addreaaed a resolution to Chancellor Hitler, protesting "the reported ef forts! of the leadership of the Ger man relchakirche to force the pasters of the Oerman church Into the serv ice of a political program." The church plans overtures for closer relationship with other Luth eran church bodies of the county to consolidate against the "forces of evi. In the social order." The convention directed the church president. Dr. Frederick H. Knubel of New York, to appoint a com mis-: Inn of pAatov nH Uvmn in vHirtiif ! discussions on a closer church unity and to Invite other Lutheran groups to confer on the subject. The convention referred to the ex ecutive board for study a suggestion from the English Evangelical Lutheran synod of the northwest that the ap portionment system of the church be changed. The synod urged a "free will basis" of raising benevolence In stead at the present system of fixing proportionate assessments. . 1 Governor III PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 24.
