The
Trap


By Daniel Shifren
,rTrist!" Howie called again,
S"Trist! Over here!"
Tristam Olds set the rake against
the barn and ran over the knoll to
the orchard.
Howie was bun-
-. Minute died against a
free, trussed wrist
Fiction and ankle, ver y
pale.
"Goodnesh, Boss-sh!" whooshed
from Trist's dry, thin lips as he
undid the bonds.
"There, that's good enough. I'll
finish by myself. Get to the barn
fast. It may be ablaze by now."
Trist, amazement on his whisker-
framed face, jounced his aging
bones and came up the incline
breathing hard.
Flame licked over the haymow.
He swept up two pails and raced
down to the pump. Howie came run-
ning too.
They scampered around for half
an hour. At last the smoke began to.
trail away. .
"That's for now," said Howie,
"but we'll have to keep a sharp
lookout."
When Sheriff Gunfrey arrived,
Howie had changed clothes and was
rocking on the porch.












He led a coil of black wire
through deep grass until he
reached the plue tree. He at-
tached the wire to the house
bell.


"What's all this about burnin'
barns down? Hasn't been anything
like this since I copped the elec-
tion."
"They tried it right enough," said
Howie. "Know of any strangers in
town?"
"Nope," said Gunfrey.
"Well, little matter. They're
from somewhsres round here.
But I guess either Sholl or Long
is the guilty party-either one or
both."
Gunfrey fired the crusty cake in
his pipe and puffed. "How you fig-
ure that, Howie' They're neighbors,
man."
"In the last couple weeks they
tried to buy out my f -rm. Kept
upping the price, but I told 'em
'No.' I got no yen to sell this place."
"Did they make any threats?"
"They sure wasn't pleased."
"Hm. I'll hunt around town and
ask 'em some questions. Ring me
anything turns up."
HOWIE and Trist alternated on
lookout. Chores were left un-
done. Then, during the night before
Howie told Trist to discontinue the
watches, he slipped out to the barn
and emerged with a shovel and
trowel. He worked and as light gray
ros- over the horizon, he laid out
the last strips of straw and grass,
returned the tools to the barn and
came back.
He led a coil of'black wire through
deep grass until he reached the
pine tree. He wound the wire
around and attached the house bell
he had in his back pocket.
The next morning he said to Trist,
"No use to keep up the watches.
They're not likely to come back."
Trist grunted. "Sune. Might'sh
well get back to work."
The unexpected shrill of the
house jell came that night.
Howie rushed out without don-
ning trousers, Trist behind him
crying, "What's that bell for!"
But Howie did not answer.
He swept the pit with a powerful
flash, picking up their figures. One's
bandanna slipped as he tried to es-
cape the slippery pit and he recog-

WHERE IS IT GOING TO STOP?
The New Deal under your friend (he ain't
ours) Harry Truman is spending right and left
for anything and everything, like a bunch of
drunken sailors, and our tax burden is mounting
by leaps and bounds. And now the taxpayers of
America are being asked to shoulder another-
staggering tax burden. They are being asked to
subsidize farm land in Arizona to the tune of
$1,838 an acre in order that a few Arizona land-
owners may secure Colorado River water to
grow more field crops. Comparison shows that
this per-acre cost is 1100 per cent greater than
the average for all other western reclamation
projects to date.
No public lands will be opened for entry to
war veterans or other citizens under provisions
of the project. It will be used exclusively for the
benefit of present landowners. More than half
of the land involved is owned by 420 individuals

Camellias should receive their
most important feeding in Febru-
ary. Use a reliable balanced ca-
mellia and azalea,fertilizer for best
results. The growth which results
from this feeding produces the best
blossoming wood for next year. For
a three-foot plant, about one pound
of fertilizer scattered through and
over the mulch is sufficient. Apply
to larger or smaller plants in pro-
portion to their size. Soak into the
soil thoroughly with water.

Air Plant Credited With

Originating the Cistern

Plants Finding Life Too Crowded
On Ground Took Up Life In
Branches of Trees

Man did not originate the cistern
to catch rainwater.and keep it. An
air plant took first place in solving
the problem of a reservoir for stor-
ing water.
Cardinal and pineapple air plants
ages ago found life too crowded on
the ground and took to the branches,
of trees. Life up on the branches
was hard at first because there was
no ground in which to dig their
roots and eke out a livelihood.
Food and water should come from
somewhere, and it would have to
come from the air, because the
plant had nothing about it-lbut air.
The air plant settled this very dif-
ficult matter by devising cups or
cisterns at the base of each of its
long tapering leaves.
Each leaf soon had a miniature
pond where small tree toads drank,
and laid their eggs. Here. too, dead
leaves and small twigs rotted and
made wonderful plant food, while
small hairs, covering the leaves of
the air plant, absorbed this food so
effectively the plant soon forgot
the days when it spent its life on
the ground.
The cardinal air plant puts on a
mid-winter display with red stalks,

BOY SCOUT NEWS
TIM ELDER, Scribe


Troop 47 of the Boy Scoits of
America held its weekly meeting at
the Scout Hut Monday night, at
which time Scoutmaster J. T. Simp-
son apologized for the weather
which prevented the.planned week-
end'camping trip. The date was re-
set for Friday. All Scouts who have
earned their Tenderfoot badges in
the recent Court of Honor are
eligible to make the trip. Scouts
will meet in front of the Scout Hut
at 4:15 p. m. that date and leave
for Cape San Bias, where they will
camp overnight. Scoutmaster Simp-
son and Assistant Scoutmaster Ed
Eells and Earl Kostic will preside
over the camp.
On this trip, those who have a
Tenderfoot badge will be eligible to
pass requirements toward a Sec-
ond Class badge. Each Scout is ad-
vised to bunk with a buddy who has
a tent in case of rain; however,
fair weather is anticipated, but this
is living up to the motto of "Be
Prepared."
Since spring is coming, it seems
to Scout leaders that a lot of peo-
ple in St.Joe will be needing assist-
ance in spring cleaning, and we take
pride in announcing that the Scouts
are ready to do the job. The money
they earn goes to help defray their
small expenditures. If you have a
job for a boy, Scoutmaster Simpson
can be reached at the postoffice
during the day and at 366-W after
postal hours, and Ed Eells can be
reached at 239 during the day and
at 39 after 6 in the evening.
The meeting was closed in form
with the Scout benediction.
If you have a son who is 11 years
old, send him to Scout meeting and
let him become a part of one of the
