"CaoBar, bolng a dumb animal, Btlll believes I have sufficient Intelli gence to know something, not much but something, of human nature and the simple lawB of heredity But per baps I'm wrong. Perhaps I ought to thank God Almighty that Caesnr can't answer back and tell me In words Just what he really thinks of me." THE Judge went home In a half huff and for several das was up pish wltb MIbs Julia whenever be mot ber. His belief that little James Btlmson was no common or garden Child predestined to success was strengthened rather than dimin ished by Miss Julia's opposition. And whon about this time James emerged briefly Into the limelight and had a small public triumph this belief Jelled Into a certainty. It was no longer arguable. This small triumph took place In the Congregational Church at a benefit for the Heathen given by the Missionary Society. Jnmes' grand mother was responsible. Bhe as a vory little girl bad boon takon by ber mother to hear Marcus Whitman's appeal for help for his struggling mission In distant Ore gon, Tucked away In an old Bible was the printed slip containing the farewell speech of an Indian who bad made the long Journey from Oregon to Saint Louis seeking to learn of the white man's religion, which Marcus Whitman himself bad placed In tittle Sarah's hand. Fifty years later Sarah Stlmson found the faded slip and read It to her grandson. After the second read lng James was able to repeat it with gestures the afternoon the minis ter's wife came to call. A week later James, In a black velvet Kauntleroy suit wltb a wide lace collar, which went not at all wltb his uncompromising straight red hair and freckles, stood on the top stair leading to the pulpit of New Concord's Congregational Church and thundered forth In a not unaf- James' oratorical powers wen forgotten soon enough. But Judgi Holcomb never forgot He crowed over Miss Julia until that long suf forlng lady told him tartly that bt reminded her of a rooster who na laid an egg. The Judge took this good-natured ty. He was always good-natured when he folt he had proved bli point. And then he knew that In hei hoart of hearts Miss Julia was al most as pleased at little James small success as he was. TAMES was a little over slzteei J when his grandfather, trying oul a successor to Dan, his riding horse who bad reached the age of honor able retirement, was thrown and suffered Injuries from which hi never recovered. The Governoi Bpent most of his last summer re clining In a wheeled chair on hli side veranda watching through half closod eyes the great river which began Its graceful mile-wide bend Just below him. At first everyone said and thought that he would soon be on bis feel and himself again, but as the leaves on the trees and undergrowth which embowered the river banks turned from every shade of emerald and olive to gold or russet or crimson ' and old Jamea' face look on more and more the ivory transparency of alabaster, those about him knew that the old man was nearlng thi end of his Journey. Old James knew It too, but what his thoughts were no one guessed except possibly Sarah, his wife. The two would sit together hand In hand for hours at a time scarcely saying a word, but apparently In perfect accord. Old James died with his eyes re peating to old Sarah the promise his lips could no longer speak not to go far without her. And Sarah, her head bent over James' cold thin hand asked hut one noon of her God soon to be allowed to follow after. The night of his grandfather's fu neral was the last day of young James boyhood, though he did not know It until the following morning. (Copyright. 19SS It at eel U. Farnham) Tomorrow, Jimpi, Ml, tntart a niw lift unwilitnQly. reeling childish way tne speech ol the unknown Indian warrior. James was used to grown people, used to attention, so be started bis oration gaily enough. But when he came to the words, "They were tired In many moons and thelr-moccaslni wore out" bis voice broke. Thereafter to the end be was that Indian brave; and an Indian brave must be stoical and speak hta words calmly and slowly. His voice carried to the very end of the auditorium i and no one coughed and none of the children wiggled or stuck out a Jeer- lng tongue. At the end there was a little bush j und then Jamea, glancing at bis i grandmother, saw that she was cry ing and was suddenly overcome by confusion and embarrassment. He ran to his grandmother and bid hli face In her arms. People crowded around them con gratulating him; the minister among others said It was a remarkable per iormance, but James would not look up or speak. Afterwards James was In great demand as an entertainer, but the Governor soon put bis toot down. He said James was getting spoiled, James relapsed Into obscurity; or Into such obscurity as was possible for Dr. Jim's son and the Governor's grandson. 10 QUOTA FIXING FEDERAL SPENDING SALT LAKE CITY. March 30 (AP) A warning that the fertfral government must cease It present rat of spending to preserve Its "fi nancial fabric" was aounrted by for mer United States Senator Reed Bmoot in an address here today. Ppenkins before a meeting of as sociated retail credit men, the former Republican stalwart declared "things can't go on as they are. Blame no one. but If we continue to spend as we have been dolne. I nee nothing but a failure of our financial fabric "If we ahntild rem finding after promising thut no man shall go bury, i Ibur biood&licd au4 pxou. ! crty destruction would result. I pray I some answer can be found." alyce Mchenry gets roosevelt bouquet To prevent overproduction of mel ons and tomatoes, and In an attempt to get cost of production, growers of those two commodities have voted to voluntarily control acreage during 19.15. according to Morton Tompkins of Dayton. Oregon, chairman of the Joint control board of the Oregon Waahlngton melon and tomato mar keting agreement. This plan of acre age control was voted at a series of meetings held In growing commun ities during the past several months. "Those who exceed their quota will be penalized by a heavy tax which will not be returned to them; those who have not exceeded their quota, will get a refund almost Immediate ly," Tompkins pointed out. "Here's how it works: Each crate of canta loupes will be taxed 35c. but 18c will be returned to the grower who Is within his allotment. To the grow er who has planted more than his quota there will be a penalty of 18c because he will get no money back. On each crate of tomatoes the tax will be 10c with a refund of .07c. Each ton of water melons sold will have a tax of 15. with a S3 refund. "Money which is collected as pen alties will go into a surplus stabel Izlng fund. All other money collec ted through taxes will go to pay costs of enforcing the agreement," Tompkins said. "New growers will be allowed to plant one-half an acre each of cantaloupes, watermelons and tomatoes, without being penal ized by the agreement. Such steps are necessary to prevent a huge in crease In acreage this coming sea son because of a fair price for melons and tomatoes during 1634." Local committees have been ap pointed In each producing section to assist growers in determining quo tas. Those appointed for this sec tion are: Bob Fields, Central Point; Ted Flab, phoenix; Geo. F. Putnam, Eagle point. These men will meet March 25 and 28 at the office of the county agent here, for the purpose of receiving applications for quota allotments. They will make recom mendations which will be forwarded to the Joint control board of the marketing agreement for final ap proval. This Is declared to be the first time In the history of the two states that growers have attempted to get cost of production for their crops by means of acreage control. The en forcement of the marketing agree ment on melons and tomatoes will be much easier under the new agri cultural adjustment acts, recently passed toy the legislatures of Oregon and Washington, Mr. Tompkins said. AAA FRUIT CODE TERMED ILLEGAL YAKIMA, Wash., March 90. On the grounds that congress exceeded its authority In delegating legislative authority to the Henry A. Wallace, director of agriculture. Federal Judge J. Stanley Webster has held the ag ricultural adjustment aQt to be un constitutional. The decision was handed down In federal court here Monday and Judge Webster ruled f,hat the gov ernment cannot enforce the AAA and Its codes on northwest fruit indus tries. Judge Webster dismissed a govern ment injunction suit agalunst B. S. Small, Yakima fruit broker. The government had sought to prevent him from operating after his AAA license had been revoked. v A CLASS OF WATER IN BED By GLUYAS WILLIAMS ClOVOS LEAVES BRID&E TABLE fo see whW junior warns Finds he's cauins for a drink cf water. 6Ef5 HIM A 6LASS OF WjrfER AND ASKS HIM fO BE aUICK WArfS IMPaTiENTlY, WHILE TELLS JUNIOR HPS HAD JUNIOR , WHO HAS SlTOEN- ENOltfH AND TRIES TO W BECOME VERV fALKAIWf.
