KEEP OUT OF THE COURTS
Judge J, B, Davis, of the Superior
Court in Cook county, Illinois, took oc
casion to advise, from the bench, for
people to keep out of court, The advice
of the venerable judge was timely and
sound. The person who seeks to settle all
of his grievances and troubles in the court
is for ever having his ups and downs, but,
of course, there are many complications
that arise that bring on differences that
can be settled only by the courts,
However, Judge Davis went on to say:
“Don’t worry, and, above all, keep out of
the courts if you can. Nothing ages peo
ple like extended litigation. If people
would develop their sense of humor, law
yers and judges would have.to go out of
business”.
There is much truth, of course, in
what Judge Davis has to say, and when it
is sifted down, the people would be bet
ter off by following his advice,
RED CROSS EMERGENCY STATIONS
Over in South Carolina, the every in
creasing number of automobile accidents
has caused the officials to establish Red
Cross first aid stations along a number of
the important highways. The Red Cross
signs have added much in attracting the
attention of reckless drivers and causing
them to slow down and drive with care
while the first aid stations have proved
beneficial to a large number of people
who have met with accidents and re
ceived serious injuries,
The plan is one of the best we have
heard of for the protection of motorists.
It is unique and interesting, not only to
the careful driver, but is a warning to
the reckless driver which is bound to
cause him to “stop, look and listen” when
turning curves or passing over grade
crossings. 7 :
Highway tragedies are growing com
mon in all sectiong of the country, especi
ally in Georgia, where the run-up number
appears to increase weekly. In the larger
cities of the state, the number of casual
ties and fatalities has grown at an alarm
ing rate, and unless stricter traffic regu
lationg are enforced there is no telling to
what extent the mishaps will reach.
If it takes Red Cross first aid stations
to cutrail the number of accidents and
reduce the number of fatalities, we are in
favor of locating one at every curve and
at every grade crossing in this state.
THE REINDEER INDUSTRY
The little country of Finland, the only
borrowing nation of the allied forces to
make any effort to repay the United
States for loans during the World War,
expects to export reindeers in large num
bers to this country where they hope to
find a ready market. The people of the
United States should patronize this little
country, if for no other reason than the
honesty it has shown in repaying our gov
ernment its obligation made during war
times.
So far, Finland has not failed to meet
a single payment on the principal and
accrued interest. Therefore, it is as little
as our people could do to show their ap
preciation of Finland’s honesty in the
matter of its war debt.
It is understood that the forestry de
partment, in Washington, is considering
stocking a number of forest reservations
in the west with reindeers, to be purch
ased from the Finland people. The rein
deer is a valuable animal for various
purposes, and the government officials
would make no mistake in purchasing and
stocking its parks and other reservations.
INSURANCE OF BANK DEPOSITS
The insuring of bank deposits, as re
quired by the federal government, has
contributed much towards restoring con
fidence in the banks as a safe place for
keeping money. Prior to January 1, 1934,
there were 467 commercial banks in op
eration, but suspended operation when
the insurance on deposits became a law.
In these banks there were deposited
eighty million dollars, much of this
amount being lost to the depositors.
The depositors and the public then re
alizezd the insecurity of banks and many
of them withdrew their money which was
on deposit, and hid it out. This money
was taken out of circulation causing a
near stagnation of business.
That condition, however, has passed,
and under the system of insuring depos
its, up to five thousand dollars, the peo
ple have regained confidence in the ‘banks
and the money chucked away in corners,
trunks, beds and other hiding places is
now in the banks and drawing interest
for its owners.
Qince the insurance deposit law went
into effect January 1, 1934, only five com
mercial banks in the state have failed.
Four of these, with deposits of less than
a half million dollars, were insured in the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The fifth with deposits of less than $35,-
000 was not insured. With this splend'id
jshowing made by the state banks, it is in
}teresting to know that not a single nation
al bank has failed during the past twelve
}months. st y
There are few commercial banks in the
[state that are not insured, the latest re
port showing the number to be sixty. The
ltotal amount deposited in these banks is
estimated at five million dollars.
| Since the deposit insurance law became
ieffective, the entire business structure of
this state has shown a soundness and cre
ated a confidence in business by restoring
!normal conditions.
The cavalry unit of the U. S. Army of
Fort Russell, Texas, has been motorized.
This was the first and most famous cav
alry unit in the United States.
‘The “zipper” fasfener' was invented by
Whitcomb Judson in 1893, but Gideon
Sundback later improved and patented it.

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO ‘U’
A Little of Everything—
Not Much of Anything.
By HUGH ROWE
Nine out of tn of the little
groups of men you see on the
strets are taiking about the
€lection and the sweeping ma
jority received by President
Roosevelt,
Chairman James A. Farley, of
the Natlonal Demoeratic Bxecutive
Committee, made no mistake in
his prediction that Landon would
not carry more than two states.
That was g broad statement, but
the election turned out just as
Chairman Farley said. There is
no doubt of Mr. Farley “eing one
of the greatest organizers of poli
tical campaigns this country has
ever known. Even in the militia
districts in the various counties
and states in the nation, he had
a record and a check on them at
headquarters in New York.
Down here in Georgia, and
in Clarke county, he had the
names of the members of the
Democratic committee, and the
names of the workers and
leaders in politics,
Lettérs were written to these
representatives urging them to
keep in touch with the voters of
their district and on Monday, be
fore the election on Tuesday, he
sent telegrams impressing upon
them the importance of getting
out every Democratic vote in his
or her precinct. Such gn organi
zation cannot be beat and just
such organization contributed much
to the large vote polled and the
magnificent majority received by
President Roosevelt.
Another indication of the
perfect system Mr, Farley em
ployes, was the receipt of a
letter by the Chairman of the
Clarke County Democratic
Committee 4dsking for the
names and addresses of the
county nominees,
In this letter Mr. Farley stated
that he desired to write them a
letter of congratulations on their
success and to thank them for
their support of the Democratic
nominee for the presidency of the
United States, Franklin D. Roose
velt. It will be four more years
before another presidential elec
tion, but when the time rolls
around, Mr. Farley will be in pos
session of information that will
enable him to inaugurate another
successful campaign for the presi
dency. Just who the candidate
will be at that time no one knows
but it may be assured that Chair
man Farley will have something
to say as to who will represent
the Democratic party.
Maine and Vermont are
lonely states, the only two to
cast their vote in favor of
Governor Alf M. Landon, Re
publican nominee, forthe pres
idency of the United States.
~ Maine has 5 votes and Vermont
3: eight electoral votes in all for
the Republican candidate; less
than Mr. Hoover received in 1932
when he carried 6 states with 59
electoral votes against Mr. Roose
velt’s 42 states with an electoral
vote of 472. This year, President
Roosevelt has 523 electoral votes
as against Governor Landon’s 8
votes. Maybe four years from now,
the people of this country will
make the nomination of the Dem
ccratic candidate unanimous. If
President Roosevelt should become
a candidate for a third term, we
‘ihave no doubt of the results be-

| NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXIIV
Caroline saw her as she entered
the yard. “Why Kate!” she ex
¢laimed. “I thought you rode.
Whatever led you to walk on a
day like this?”
“1 rode to Mr. Grayson's,” Kate
answered evasively, *“and back. I
went up the road afterward.”
“Oh, what made you do that?
You knew I wanted to hear how
Mr. Grayson took the letter.”
“He took it with his hands,” Kate
said idiotically. She giggled like
a person slightly umpsy.
Caroline remarked stiffly, “That’s
not funny. It'’s childish. What's
the matter with you, Kate? You
look queer!” ‘
“I guess I'm due to look queer,”
Kate said slowly. She took the
folded check from her pocket and
gpread it on the table. “I've just
gottén us $350.”
Caroline examined the check in
amazement. “It's signed Thomas
Hold. What on earth did you sell
him?”
“Brown Boy.”
“Oh, Kate!” There was protest
in Caroline’s voice, and regret, and
self-accusation, She felt that she
had somehow caused Kate to do
this. Yet, as she stood thinking it
over, she saw that she was not in
dividually responsible for the sac
rifice.
Kate sgaid, “Don’t rave, please.
And don’t offer to sell Queen, She's
all of 12 years old and has a weak
knee. She wouldn’t bring any
thing.”
Caroline nodded. “That's true.
But the unfair part is, Kate, I don’t
love Queen the way you love Brown
Boy. I like her, but it's just not
in me to love her. She's always
had a nasty disposition and she’s
never seemed to care for anything
she made a fool of me.”
She: “What a lasting impression
some people make.”
There aredirg farmers, town
farmers and professional farm
ers, all of whom cladsify them
selves as “farmers”, but in
some instances, well, we do
not knew so much about the
classifications,
We do know, however, that Bill
Beacham is a real farmer. We
happenedl to drop In at his office
a few days ago aand found on dis
play several stalks of cotton laden
with open bolls with one inch
middling locks; a half-dozén or
more ripe pumpkins, as fine as
any we have seen in many sea
sons; a cluster of ‘ine pomegran
ates, plucked from his orchard of
as fine trees as can be found in
Georgia; a sack f sweet potatoes,
and possibly other farm products
hidden away. At any rate, we are
willing to accept him under the
_classification of a “dirt farmer”,

but her oats. Brown Boy's differ
ent. He loved you!”
Kate turned away. “Didn’t I tell
you not to rave? Well, don't. I'm
going upstairs to lie down. You
break the news to Gran'dad and
show him the check. It's a pretty
good price for an 8-year-old horse
without a pedigree.”
“Yes,” Caroline said mausingly.
“I remember when Gran'dad brought
him home, Kate, and gave him to
you. He wag the cutest colt—"
“+ln " town -at that moment - Jest
Howard was concluding some busi
negss at one of the banks. Here, at
least, he felt at home, for bankers
invariably regarded him with lik
ing and respect. He had inquired
at the bank about a certain breed
of sheep he wished to stock, and
the cashier, who knew his county,
directed him to Thomas Hold. i
Jeff now found himself driving
out the Mount Hebron road with
a legitimate excuse for going that
way.
In Tom Hold’s barn lot he found
the farmer and his 15-year-cld son
engaged in looking over a large
brown riding horse. ‘“l've just
bought him for my boy,” Mr. Hold
explained. “Not two hours ago, it
was.”
Jeff serutinized the horse. That
brown-bay color. The star on 'the
forehead. 'The two white hind feet.
So Kate Meed had had to sell her
horse. To Tom ‘Hold he sald
bluntly, “I'm looking for a riding
horse myself. Would you consider
a re-sale?”
Mr. Hold pulléd at his suspen
der, ‘“My boy took a fancy to that
horse last year, but he wasn't for
sale at the time. Yeah, Ralph's
wanted Brown Boy for some time.
He’d not. want to sell him, 1
reckon.”
Jeff said casually, “I could offer
yvou a reasonable profit. What did
you pay for him, Mr. Hold?”
“Three-fifty,”” said the farmer,
who was known as an honest man.
“Maybe your boy'd be satisfied
with about a SSO turnover instead
of the horse. I'll give you four
hundred cash.” £ ‘
Mr. Hold laughed. “ Seems like
that there’'s a° horse everybody
takes a set to, You, now! How'd
yvou know he's worth that much,
Mr, Howard?”
Jeff grew red under his sunburn.
It was a confusing question. He
had entered into the hasty sort
of bargaining that would give him
a reputation in the county for be
ing an easy trader. He did not
crave that reputation, Yet he had
te have the horse. “It's like you
say, Mr. Hold,” he finally answer
ed. “A person just takes a fancy to
that horse. ‘I ecan see he's no
thoroughbred, but it's surprising
what good gaits he's got, He's
about the size I like, too. Will
you sell?” 2
Mr. Hold took his son aside and
was seem to argue with him. Pres
ently they returned and the boy
said a bit sullenly, “All right. Take
him. Pop says I can have the fifty
profit.”
Nor did Mr, Hold himself seem
entirely happy over the trans
action. Watching Jeff Howgyd's
fountain pen moving over his
checkbook, he said uncertainly,
“The lady that sold me this horse
is goin’ to be right put out about
this. She was anxious for me an’
Ralph to own him. Says she
can't stand to have Brown BOY
worked—" R
“Who wants to work him?”
asked Jeff aquickly and persua
sively. “I guess I know how to be
good to my animale. You put that
check in your pocket and quit
worrying, Mr. Hold: - Then we can
talk sheep,”
Jeff Howard returned for Brown
‘Boy that night. As he led him
down the quiet road in the dark
ness, the horse irled to come to a
gtop before the gtae of Rickety
House, Jeff was forced to Jjerk
.sharply at the halter, Kate and
Caroline, sitting in the dark yard
under the maples, saw the forms
of horses and rider go past, yet
did not recognize them, I
As Kate drove to town for ice
next day she went slowly pastthe
Hold farm and looked in eagerly.
There was g carrot in her pocket,
ready for Brown Boy's soft nib
bling lips if she should catch a
glimpse of him. She did not see
him, and, though she carefully
presérved the carrot for her re
turn trip, she did not see him then,
elther,
“Ralph’s riding him,” she de
cided with an envious sigh.
That evening Zeke could not he
spared to deliver the order of
baked goods to Meed Meadows.
Caroline asked tiredly, “Would you
lmlnd taking it over, Kate? T did
tmost of the baking this time.”
Kata shrugged. She did mind‘l
but the events of . life could no
longer dance {o the tune of DF‘Y"]
sonal feelings. She sald. “Of
course, I'll take the stuff ovmfl
Caroline. Why not?”’ |
Without more ado, she packed
the lemon vnie, chocolate cake and
the two dozen heaten hiscults In
pastehoard boxes and put them
into the car. Jusi as she started
ta take the wheel she impulsively
~ot out, ran upstaire and was
pone for ten minutés or more.
When she eeme doawn she was
wearing a freeh dress and a dasb
as linetick. Carvoline wiselv made
o comment. She knew that in

When Kate vreached her old
home she drove In grimlv and de
livered the boxes at the back door
A negro man politely received and
pald for them. Kate asked. “Does
Mr. Howard find everything to
his taste?” The man assured her
that everything was “mighty sat
isfactory.”
It was not until she had turned
to go that Kate saw the thing
that transfixed her. Approaching
the house from the side pasture
was Jeff Howard, driving a horse
by lnes. The horse was drawing
a log, and he was Brown Boy.
After 5 moment of incredulous
surprise she ran toward the fence.
“What are you doing to Brown
Boy?' she asked excitedly. “Where
did you get him?”
Jeff Howard replied, “I bought
him from Tom Hold yesterday. I'm
taking some of the fat off him.”
“Oh-h-!” Kate said.. “You
bought him and you're making
him drag in your firewood! rn
see Mr. Hold about this!”
‘Jeff replied coolly, “Hold clear
ed himself $560 on the deal. Seeing
him’l do you no good.”
- Kate's- breath. came in angry
gasps. “You ' devil!” she said.
“you did this to humiliate me!
You want to torture me!”
Jeff was shaken by the violence
of her rage. He replied meekly
enough. “The horse is too fat.
It’'s for his own good—"
But Kate was running toward
the car ,sobbing as she went.
When she reached home she
gave Caroline the money she had
collected. Her face was ashen
and her hands were shaking
“What's the matter?” Caroline de
manded in alarm.
. Katesaid, “Jeff Howard's bought
Brown Boy from the Holds just
to torment me! He's working him!
1 saw it with my own eyes.”
“How awful of Mr. Hold to sell
him like that!” Caroline exclaimed.
“Yes,” Kate replied, her voice
suddenly lifeless. “He couldn't re
sist the big SSO profit that Jeff
Howard offered him. That's hu
man nature for you!”
Caroline speculated in distress.
“How did Jeff Howard know you'd
sold him to the Holds? How could
it all happen so quickly?”’
Kate answered, sparks flying
again. “He's g carrion that feeds
on my misfortunes! He smells
them from a distance and swoops!”
“Ugh!” Caroline shuddered. Then
common sense and justice pre
vailed. “I don't believe that, Kate!
I think it somehow just happened.
I can't believe he did it to hurt
you, either. I think he wanted
Brown Boy for himself.” |
“Yeah?”
“Don’'t use that common word.
Pull yourself together, Kate?”
Kate began to walk upand down
the room. She said musingly, “I
was counting on seeing him very
time I passed the Holds'. Ithought
T'd take him carrots and sugar,
and he’'d not forget me. I thought
maybe Mr. Hold would sell him
back to me when things picked up
for us . . . But that’s out! Jeff
Howard’s bought him away from
me. He’s working him, Caroline!”
“Try not to mind it so, honey,”
Caroline begged, putting her arms
around her.
