PAGE ETGHT Chapter 13 - One Light Left FROM the front, the Miller house wat darkened. At Ste phanie raced up the tteptt the heard Henri following, curling under hit breath aj he misted a liep and bumped a thin smartly. She (tabbed at the bell, heard itt ring echo from the back of the house. She rang several timet, insistently. No answer. Then she raised the heavy old bronze knocker, thumped It aonorously. "That's enough to rouse the whole neighborhood," she said, but still no one responded. "Probably gone out for the evening," Henri suggested. "Servants too?" and went on knocking. Finally found of shuffling footsteps as of one fumbling blindly. Then silence. Stephanie called then. "Hello. there! Turn off your lights." And pounded the door again. "Turn off your lights. 1 say. "Aren't you rather making yourseii riaicuious, Henri pro. tested Anally. "Ridiculous or not," the mut tered and ran down the steps. arouna to a tme door. As she ran she looked up to the third story again. Still a blazing light like a beckoning finger. No flyer could miss that. ine side door was locked too. But this time she had more suc cess. Her frantic knocking final ly brought old Mr. Miller himself. "Well what us this?" he de manded, peering at her through the darkness. "It's a blackout. Mr. Miller. And there are lights in the attic. Have them put out, at once. He hesitated. "Lights? In my house? Well Uk. tsk we must attend to that. Come in. young ladv. Who-" Stephanie stepped closer. Ste- Fhanie Merrill you remember live next door. "Oh, of course " His manner be. came instantly friendly. "1 see you now. Come in. "No. Thank you. But you will please get that light oft, won't you.' The old gentleman nodded. "Yes. Indeed. Certainly." She said good night, then, and went back to where Henri was waiting, not at all sure that she shouldn't have offered to go to the attic hertelf and get those lights oft. Because apparently the servants were not on duty. And the light still turned min. utes after she had returned to her own porch. "Well, after all. Stephanie, give the man time to climb two flights of stairs," Henri protested. "What's become of his whole retinue of servants?" Stephanie wondered aloud. Henri laughed. "Probably all frightened out of their wit. All Clear! SHE shook her head. "Henri. I have a feeling that there is something strangely unnatural about that set-up over there." . "Have you, really? What makes you think that?" "1 don't know. Just have hunch." He laughed again. "You and your hunches. You are tired, my dear, and over-wrought. I assure you Mr. Miller is as trust worthy as any other loyal Ameri can citizen." Still skeptical. Stephanie shrug ged. "If he's so loyal an Ameri can, how come he lived most of his life in other countries?" "Circumstances required that After all. it was his career that took him away." A long clear blast rode across the strangely silent city and was followed almost instantly by the returning flicker of lights "The all-clear" sounded Ste. phanie lumped to her feet "It's over!" Behind her. the lights of her own home snapped on and a mo ment later, Guy burst out the front door. German-Made Tire Shows Up Here in Used Consignment The many travels of Ger man made ersatz tire may have ended Monday when it was dis covered among group of ISO obtained In used lot by L. P. Older from a Klamath Falls firm. Older, owner of tire ex change at 32 South Bartlett. street, said today, "I won't part with the tire for $100." It Is now on display at Older'a shop. The tire Is constructed of tyn thevlc Buna, the patent for which is owned by the Standard Oil company, and is eight ply Stamped "Continental Balloon It is inscribed in English and French as well as German. The tire Is said to have been brought to Mexico by a German refugee. Some man, a resident of Amarillo, Texas, bought it for a spare and later traded his ma chine to a Chevrolit di-alei there. The car was traded to the Turner Chevrolet company In Klamath Falls from whom Old er bought the tire. According to Older the tire is SCOOP!

He nodded cooly at fienri, went on pulling on his driving gloves. "I'm going out of town, now, dear, f 11 be back-" "Oh. Daddy, not to Titan to night!" His scowl rebuked her instant ly. Why couldn't she remember to stand guard over her tongue? "Let me go with you, Daddy," she urged. "You're tired. I could drive for you. Please." He hesitated. "All right But hurry up. I'm leaving right now." Stephanie turned to Henri. "Good night, Henri. Thanks for bringing me home." "Are you sure I can be of no service? 1 will gladly accompany you it you feel I might be use ful." 'Thank you. no," Guy refused curtly. "Come, Stephanie." Henri took his abrupt dismis sal courteously like the smooth diplomat he seemed to be. But Stephanie smarted under the em barrassment long after she'd backed her father's car out of the drive, turned it cautiously down a steep hill. "Sorry to let you down, Stevie. but 1 can't tolerate Pagerie. And don't go bringing him home for a son-in-law, either, young lady. Not if you want my blessing." The Car Behind HE LEANED back, pulled fail hat down over his eyes, and a moment later began to breathe more heavily Stephanie settled back for the long drive, forcing herself to relax taut muscles as much as she could. And for as long as they fol lowed the main highway routs north and the continuous stream of traffic challenged her skill and concentration, she had no time tc think, but when an hour later, she turned into the narrow, little-travelled road across rolling foothills to Titan, she felt anxiety overtake her. The night was dark and heav ily overcast. The car's headlight! slashed a way through the pitch dark ahead but beyond the path of light, the deserted, barren htlll and the deep-shadowed valleyi seemed to lie in wait. It was ri diculous to be so nervous, sht kept telling herself. But when she realized that thi car following her slowed dowr when she slowed, picked up speec as she did kept a discreet dis tance that never incteased noi shortened, her premonition o: danger seemed well founded. For a while, she couldn't b sure. But when she deliberate!) slowed to snail's pace the cai behind dropped back. When sh stepped hard on the accelerator sent the car swiftly ahead, thi lights behind came on steadily About twenty miles out of Titan she tried once mare to lose that persistent follower. The old roac into the plant went steeply ovel the hill, winding a torturous way around the curves. The new road cut a straighter path As she cams to the fork, she speeded up un til for an instant the lights be hind dipped out ot sight, ther swerved quickly into the aban doned route, twisting away from the new road into a dark tunnel of overhanging trees. one slopped her car abruptly switched off the lights, the motor Silence poured around them foi the few moments before a. car fled past, behind them, disappeared into the new cut between thi hills "What a the matter Guy said rousing himself quickly. Stephanie started 'he motor. "1 lust had a notion we were beini followed so I ducked In here tc let them go on past " "Good Idea" Guy not ded "Can't ht too careful these days" He sounded quite matter-of-fact, but SleDhanie caught the over -tone of anxiety. Danger stalked Guy Merrill hourly. Bui why? Te b conUnnad at least five years old. The tread has been worn away but is in good condition otherwise and the rubber Is very tough. The tire is size 3 50x17.

Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extension Service Save Those Sacks Ther Arn't Any Mora Pointing out that burlap tup- pliei in the country now are probably all there'll be until after the war. Secretary Wick ard has asked the U. S. D. A. war boards to push hard on a drive to conserve burlap and cotton bags. Cooperation of all farm or ganizations and grain, teed, feed and bag dealers will be enlisted in the campaign; which will have as its major objectives: careful handling of bags so that they can be used. Keep used bags flowing into trade channels so they can be put into use again. To make every bag do double duty, a strict policy of "Use no Hooks" should be adopted In handling the bags. Careful han dling, cleaning and storing will greatly extend the usefulness of a bag. Also, bags should not be allowed to accumulate, but should be kept moving. If you have more than you need, sell them to a neighbor, or take them to a dealer who will sell them. Prices of used bags have been fixed by the O. P. A. Here are the maximum prices for the most common size of burlap bags: 10 ounce, reconditioned, 14 8 cents; unmended, 11.8 cents; 8-ounce. reconditioned, 11.5 cents; un mended, 8.5 cents. War Slated On Cround Squirrels Through arrangements with the Fish and Wild Service co operating with the county a program has been started on squirrel poisoning the same as was carried on last year. Farm ers are organized in communi ties, the poison is delivered and poisoning of lands is carried on as a community protect. The poisoned barley is free to farm ers who cooperate and they can receive enough poisoned grain to cover their own and adjacent un occupied land, if they so desire Every farmer in the county should avail himself of this op portunity to get free bait. Contacts can be made at the county agent's office or through Charles Elmore, who is handling the project. Caloregon Hereford Sal Set For October At a meeting of the sales com mittee of the Caloregon Here ford Breeders association a short time ago plans were made for the annual sale of Hereford breeding stock to be held in October of this year. No sale was held last year, breaking the continuity of the annual event, because cattle were being sold so readily through private sale that it was impossible to get enough stock to hold a public sale. This year, by starting early, an effort will be made to secure at least 100 to 150 head Sonata. KEX: Studio Party, KOMO 10:00 p. m. Hollywood Legion Sta dium Fights, KOO: Reporter Newa. KPO. KOW.

Crop Conditions Approach Drought Thla county is fast going into drought conditions, as the ground is drying up very rapidly on top and spring sown crops are already suffering. Some pastures are being irrigated al ready. Corn planting is in pro gress on ground which as a rule it too dry to germinate the teed. By R. G. Fowler, County Agent. Victory Garden Need For Duration A farm garden on every farm is needed this year and for the duration to add to the nation's food supply of necessary vege tables. Armed forces will re quire large parts of the com mercial or canned and dried packs of vegetables. Our allies will get a large segment of this pack. Transportation conges tion will be relieved to the ex tent that 50 million farms will produce their own vegetables right where they will be used. Then, too, vegetables can be ex pected to be higher in price. There is also the health factor vegetables in the diet for bet ter health. It is not too late to plan and plant a vegetable garden. The plantings can be limited to es sential green, leafy and yellow vegetables. Chard, cabbage, carrots, corn, squash, parsnips, tomatoes, beets and beans are among the suggestions. Root Crops May Be Sown Now Two root crops for the winter garden should be sown at this time. Parsnips and salsify, also known as vegetable oyster, if sown now will be ready for use about October first. Harris Model and Hollow Crown are popular varieties of parsnips and Sandwich Island is the leading variety of salsify. The seed should be sown now and it should be remembered that they germinate very slowly. A few radish seeds sown with the parsnip and salsify seed will come up quickly and mark the row so cultivation can be done before the other plants are up. Fifty to 75 feet of row of each of these crops will supply an average family of five persons. A packet of seed will sow this amount. t Young Earwigs Appearing Now Adult earwigs emerge in mid March but the young earwig? do not hatch until about April 15 to 20. These young earwigs are the ones that are most easily controlled by poison baits. These young earwigs continue to feed on vegetation in fence rows, flower buds, near founda tions and other sheltered places until about the middle of May. At that time they start feeding in trees and shrubs off the ground so baiting on the ground is no longer very effective. With these facts in mind, the bait should be applied now and a supply kept available for the earwigs to feed upon until well That't an Offer for Amby into May. As rain or sprinkling destroy! the bait, more should be spread after each rain or watering. The bait should ot thinly scattered in the evening along fences, piles of boards or other places where earwigs may hide. It may also be scattered over the lawn. An effective bait can be made as follows: Bran, six pounds; so dium fluoride, half pound; fish oil, one pint. Mix dry bran and sodium fluoride then add fish oil and mix again. Use no water. This amount will cover 4,000 square feet. If sodium fluoride Is not avail able, substitute barium fluosili cate, told commercially as du tox. By C. B. Cordy, Assistant County Agent. Meetings To Urge Mora Milk Us Does your family get it full quota of milk each day? Re member it should be at least one quart for each child and one pint for each adult. We know that many do not get this re quired amount which is neces sary for proper growth and especially the development of strong straight bones. The mother whose children do not like milk as a beverage, has a serious problem in planning menus that use milk in large quantities. If this is your problem then look closely for announcements of the meetings on "Use Milk and Milk Products," that will be given in local communities all over Jackson county in May. The training meeting for project leader on the use of milk and milk product will be given on Wednesday, April 29, in 'the courthouse auditorium starting at 10 a. m. Miss Lucy Case, extension nutritionist, will be in the county to conduct the meet ing. Any organization is wel come to send two project leaders to this meeting so they may re turn to their own organizations and present the material. This is to be a demonstration meeting and many of you may be Interested in some of the dishes to be demonstrated. Did you say your children won't drink milk Then be sure to get the suggestions on milk drinks everything from choco late milk to a raspberry milk shake and lemon eggnog. The latter is the best you ever tasted, I'll guarantee. Add to the suggestion of using milk and milk products in cereals, salads, soups and des sert and you will go home with a wealth of new ideas. I al most forgot, we are going to have a quick process cheese making demonstration too. If you would like to help pro mote good nutrition by bringing these ideas to your friends and neighbors, plan to attend the leader training meeting on "Use of Eggs, Milk and Cheese," Wed nesday, April 29.

New Orleans, April 23 P) Siirvivnri of an American mer chant vessel torpedoed and sunk April 12 in the Caribbean toiq here today how their ship played "tag" for 12 hour with a sub marine, trying unsuccessfully to ram it, before the U-boat won. The only person missing among the 83 passengers and crew mem bers was the ship' physician. Dr. Benjamin A. Price, 64, for mer county health officer of Jefferson county, Idaho. Price was seen aboard the hip as it plunged to the bottom after taking three torpedoes into itt hull in the submarine' midnight attack. Thirty-nine survivor, In life boats and on rafts, were picked up by a united nations warship and landed at Jamaica, coming here later on a transport. The other survivors were landed at Haiti. Warned By Plana Naval officers pieced together this story from survivors' ac counts: Steaming through the Carib bean April 11, the ship wai warned by a high-flying plane, believed to be a passenger plane. that the submarine was trail ing her. The vessel picked up speed and zigzagged to elude the U-boat until twilight. The American merchantman headed for the raider, which ap parently crash dived to escape. Through the darkness the deadly game continued, until just after midnight when two torpedoes struck the after part of the ship about a minute apart. The vessel listed heavily to starboard. Passengers and crew had time to abandon ship before the third torpedo hit and the merchant man went down. Dr. Price wa seen on board, waving a flash light. No one knew why he did not leave with the others. After 18 hours adrift on a calm sea. a group of survivors in two lifeboats and two raftt was picked up by the warship. The other survivors had gone off In a power boat and later were reported landed at Haiti. Nothing was seen of the tub marine after the attack.
