"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- (Continued on page 8) SPECIALS 1-11141 i FOR IIJ1ijjl tr1ik)l THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY ONE MONTHLY BLOOMING ROSE BUSH and ONE BOX GLADIOLUS BULBS -.. $100 BLACKBURN f A SYRUP OFA GALLON GALLON 95c 97c EI GS 2 Doz. $1.00 5 CANS SNUFF 5 CANS PRINCE ALBERT $1.00 SHRIMP 2'/2 Ibs. $1 MEDIUM SIZE TI DE 4 Boxes $1 PURE PEANUT OIL 1.35 Gal.

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.

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, u n. nnn nnn.nm ,,,,Jul n..r n., ., .r U s-.... ...- n m n..., .m........,, Ieady-Miix CEMENT Build Your Own Sidewalks, Driveways, Floors!

Big army camps, like Camp Gor- don Johnston, Tyndall Field and Eglin Field, came in during the war, the result of this important highway, annd commercial fisher- men at Port St. Joe, Apalachicola and Panama City have only to bring their catches to the docks to find trucks from distant places in other states waiting to buy and get going. All this has happened since that September 10, 192,6, when the Gulf Coast Highway Association was formed at a meeting in Panama City.

Port St. Joe has grown from a hamlet of possibly 500 souls to its present size simply because of the dream of a few fioward-looking m'en who could se'e the possibilities' of this section of the state.

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.
