MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1942.
Chapter 19
Start Of A Plan
TACK FENNER was waiting at
one end. of the lobby, and came
forward to meet them, a slender,
trim-figured man with a look of
ainewy toughness about him that
his loose-fitting balmacaan could
not hide. His hair was gray-black
and smoothly combed, his mouth
was thin and even and his agate
eyes slanted a little in Tatar fash
ion so that his glance assumed a
perpetually narrowed expression.
There was a lot of tight-muscled
energy in the set of his
neck and shoulders, the light,
sure-footed way he carried him
self suggested that he could move
swiftly and expertly whenever
the occasion demanded.
Joyce Introduced him. He
smiled and gave Delia a quick.
absoroing glance.
"Care for a drink?"
"why I don't believe so,
thanks.
"Well" Fenner turned his hat
in his hand and grinned "would
rou mind sitting with me, then?
don't listen so well on an empty
iiomacn.
Delia looked at her companion,
but Joyce merely smiled and
nodded.
"All right," she said. "We don't
mind. Shall we go in the merry
go-rouna :
They walked down the long
corridor and turned into the cafe.
Fenner refused to give u his
hat and coat, and when they had
found a table for four, he tossed
them across the odd chair.
"Three Scotches," he told the
waiter.
"Not for me," Delia said.
"Let him bring them," Fenner
said. 'They won t go to waste.
They lit cigarettes while they
waited, and when they had been
served, Fenner drank briefly,
aaid: "Ah!" and crossed his hands
on the table, giving his attention
to Joyce but keeping Delia
relative focus so that -when he
wanted to look at her he had to
.move only his eyes.
"What's the story?"
"We want you to work for us,'
Joyce said bluntly.
A faint smile touched his lips
ana someining Happened to his
eyes. They did not move, nor did
the lids, but there was something
bright and steady in their depths
that had not been there before.
"Kent know?" he said.
No."
"Shouldn't he?"
"Not this time."
"What's my story when he
comes around to see me some day
and says what's the idea of work
ing for my wife behind my back?
Kent's a pretty good friend of
mine."
"1 know," Joyce said. "You
won't be working for me, really,
but for Miss Stewart."
"Does he know Miss Stewart?"
Fenner asked, not looking at her
"Of course."
"He's a pretty good detective
mmseir
"This Is personal. Miss Stewart
would rather have an outsider."
"That right. Miss Stewart?"
Delia moistened her lips, hesi
tated, said: "Yes."
The Story
TENNER summoned the waiter
and ordered another Scotch.
Without realizing it. Joyce had
already sipped some of her drink,
but Delia had not touched hers;
now she pushed It towards the
detective.
I don t want It, really.'
Fenner smiled and took the f
glass, then noticed that the waiter
seemed undecided about accept
ing the order. "Scotch." Fenner
said. "Who's going to tell me?" he
added, when tha waiter went
away,
"I will," Joyce said and men
tally edited her account as she
went along. "Miss Stewart is en-

newspaper for enlisted men overseas, is described as showing

gaged to Ward Allen, Do you
know him? Well, it doesn't mat
ter. . . , Did you happen to read
about the murder of Ferry
Clarke?"
"I saw the account but I don't
know the details." Fenner said,
and his eyes were sleepy-looking
as he put down his glass.
"I don't Imagine the details are
important," Joyce said. "What is
important is that Perry Clarke
had an elevelope that contained
some clippings about Ward Allen
about some trouble he once had.
the sort of thing he wouldn't
want to get around."
"And Clarke was blackmailing
him."
"I don't know that it had ion
that far, but" Joyce glanced at
Delia and knew there was some
thing else she should say. 'Before
I tell you the rest of it there's
something I've got to ask Miss
Stewart didn't want to Mm to
you, but I knew we needed help
and advice. I told her about you;
1 said 1 was sure you wouldn't
talk to the police."
"I couldn't promise," Fenner
said. "But the only way the police
can make me talk is to involve
me in the murder and put me on
the stand."
"If it came to that," Joyce said,
"what you might have to say
wouldn't matter anvwav. . . . You
see. Delia? But to get back. Miss
Stewart knew there was some
thing that Ward Allen wanted
and she did something silly. She
went to see iiarne at nis apart
ment last night."
Fenner Has A Bunch
JOYCE paused here to ..lake sure
she did not explain too much,
aware that Fenner was taking in
every word, every Inflection.
wmie Clarke was out of the
room making a drink, she found
the envelope. He didn't discover
this and she came away, and not
until this morning did she know
that Clarke had been murdered.
Tonight a man came to her
and demanded the envelope."
wnai man:
"She doesn't know."
Fenner's dance slid to Delia
and something in it compelled her
io speaic
I never saw him before Hp
said he thought I had the en
velope and unless I gave it to him
he'd see that the police found out
I'd been to Perry Clarke's apart
ment lust before ha was mur.
"Any idea how he knew about
you?"
"None." Delia said. "Unless he
had been watching the apart
ment "
What'd you tell him?"
'I told him I didn't know any
thing about it"
"So?"
"So ne said he'd give me until
tomorrow noon."
Fenner finished Delia's drink
and started it on the fresh one.
He lit a cigarette, absently for
getting to pass them around and
said nothing until he had in-
naied.
"If you tell him it's no dice he
tips off the cops about you. huh?
And if you play along your boy
friend may ba in a jam, is that
it?"
"Yes." Delia said.
Fenner's evea swlveled to
Joyce. "You must have had some
sort of an idea when you tele
phoned me?"
"Not an Idea." Jovce said. "I
Just figured that Delia will have
to give him the envelope. So I
thought perhaps when the man
telephoned she could make a date
and perhaps you . . ."
She paused and Fenner smiled
ner J wa I"1?." ,nd genuine,
that smile, and it changed his
whole face. There was a note of
respect in his voice when he an
swered. "Maybe you came to the right
guy after all," he said. "It's as
good a hunch as any I'd get, and
it might work."

Jackson County Farm Notes
Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extension Service ,
Harvesting Veteh ,
Topic of Bulletin
A new extension bulletin. No,
597, concerning the harvesting
of seed of vetches, winter peas,
crimson clover and rye grass
has been received at this office.
This publication covers prac
tices with pictures of practical
methods of harvesting the above
named legumes and grasses.
As farmers in this county are
just about to harvest the vetch
crop, we think that it would be
an advantage to growers to ob
tain a copy of this bulletin. We
expect to have a supply by the
first of next week.
American Farmers
Doing Gigantic Job
The magnitude of the food
production job undertaken by
American farmers, Including
those in Oregon, is not fully ap
preciated because it is not con
centrated in one plant, but is
rolling off an "assmbly line" of
six million farm units through
out tne country.
Every time a cargo ship sails
for Ireland with food for Ameri
can soldiers and their allies, it
carries the average annual pro
duction of 3.800 American
farms, these ships are loaded
with products that might have
come from Oregon farms dried
eggs, dried and evaporated milk,
cheese, canned and cured pork,
lard and canned and dried vege
tables. To keep these vital supplies
moving to wherever they are
needed all over the globe, farm
ers in this state and throughout
the nation are mobilized behind
production goals that are so
large they are difficult to grasp.
Breaking down food-for-freedom
production to an hourly basis.
are the following figures:
Every hour of every day
America's farm plant Droduces
6,486,000 quarts of milk, 5,236,
000 eggs, 134 carloads of hogs,
88V4 carloads of beef, 2,696.000
pounds of potatoes and similar
quantities of vegetables, oil
crops and other products.
Besides food uses, farm crops
are directly in the war too
Cotton and alcohol are used to
make smokeless powder. When
a battleship fires a 16-inch gun,
a bale of cotton and 18 bushels
of wheat are hurled at the
enemy. To paint the battleship
requires tne on from flaxseed
produced on 169 acres.

County Agent.
Small Fruits on
Tha Canning List
Cherries, raspberries and
other small fruits will be next
on your canning list. These
fruits should be included in
your canning budget for they
aid in adding variety to winter
meals.
One of the simplest ways of
canning fruits is by the hot
water bath method. The use of
a pressure cooker for fruits is
not recommended as there is a
tendency to overcook the fruit.
Either the cold or hot pack mav
be used in preparing fruit for
the hot water bath. The hot

pack has the advantage of a
fuller pack.
With the sugar allowance less
than formerly used it is wise to
take advantage of the natural
sugar content of the fruit and
use the fruit juice instead of
water in making the sugar
syrup. Those fruits that are
not perfect in shape and color
may be crushed and the juice
extracted. Another procedure
would be the addition of dry
sugar to the fruit and by heat
ing over a low fire the juice is
extracted from the berries and
may be poured over the fruit as
it is packed in the jars and then
processed. Cherries processed
in water bath must be processed
25 minutes if cold pack or five
minutes if hot pack is used.
Raspberries and such small
fruits are processed 20 minutes
if cold pack and five minutes if
hot packed.
One precaution in using the
hot water bath method of can
ning is to be certain that the
