I say to yon that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one
of these.—Mat. 6:29. There are some who imagine that the glorious orchid
is the result of a long series of accidents. They bloom in swamps and
forests unseen by man but Ood likes them.
Election Slows Congress
IN an election year, Congress likes to adjourn by July if
* possible. If you assume that as a fairly firm deadline, the
present session is about half over. But Congress has not done
even a quarter of its prospective work.
When you examine its three months* performance, you
realize most of the time has been consumed in a struggle
for power and prestige with the executive establishment.
First, the long debate and action on the Bricker amendment
and related proposals. Second, and continuing, the various
controversies between the army and Senator McCarthy of
Wisconsin.
FIEPENDING on your viewpoint, these may or may not be
^ regarded as necessary contests serving the interests of
the American people. But there can be no question they take
time from what used to be regarded as the legislature’s main
business: making laws.
With each passing week, it will be increasingly difficult
for the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill to drive to
passage a significant proportion of the items in President
Eisenhower’s full program.
And this points up a curious irony. A lot of Republican
lawmakers behave as if they cannot win re-election this fall
unless they trumpet the theme of communism In govern-
ment. This is based on the assumption that the president’s
policies are “unpopular.”
VOBODY denies that a good many farmers are displeased
1 with Secretary of Agriculture Benson and unhappy over
the President’s farm proposals. No one denies, either, that
Big Labor thinks the administration derelict in meeting what
it sees as a definite business recession.
But reports are that congressional mail is running heavily
in favor of Mr. Eisenhower’s new programs, and those law-
makers who have checked their constituents generally have
found a similar response. Thus the adoption of a big share of
a lot
the President’s measures would presumably give them
of campaign ammunition.
The less Congress does in the next three months, the less
of this ammunition GOP politicians will have. But how much
of it they get is a matter under their control.
If it is little, that will be because that is the way they
want it.
Some women lost in happy thoughts can be found in
front of a mirror.
If they’re every able to really cure rheumatism, good-by
to our best weather forecaster.
Remember when folks used to say that the auto was a
passing thing? Well, it still is, to lots of hitchhikers.
Bandits stole an auto from a used car lot in a Michigan
town. There’s a touch of humor in police saying they won’t
get far.
Marry for real love, advises a preacher. And may we add,
you’ll probably never do it again!
If you start saving a dollar a day from now until next
Christmas, you’ll be broke Dec. 26.
W’ith the wastebaskets full of paper, the back porch lit-
tered and their own rooms all upset, Mom has several
answers when kids complain that they haven’t a thing to do.
Good houses are made by good carpenters, and good
homes by good, home-made girls.
Have you noticed it’s the latest thing not to have the
sleeves ol a man’s coat pressed? Lots of men were in style
ahead of time.

J^JRS. GORDON RICE and daughter, Karen June, of Balboa
Island, Calif., are visiting in the home of Mrs. Rice's
mother-in-law, Mrs. John L. Rice, 417 North Rock Island.
Mrs. 0. O. Tollefson, 630 South Ellison, assisted by Mrs.
C. E. Welden, was hostess to guests and members of the
DYWYK dub.Wednesday afternoon in her home. Mrs. Frank
Myers, president, led the group in a brief business discussion
after which the afternoon was spent in needlework.
Dealers or farmers interested in purchasing seed peanuts
were advised today by A. M. Graham, Canadian county AAA
administrative assistant, that his office can give information

tyjNN examined the pole itself.
U “Nobody’s climbed this pole
recently. There would be fresh
scars from climbing irons. But all
you’d need would be another pulley
fastened to the basket itself. And
maybe a cord trailing along. When
it was in position, the man waiting
in that bush could grab the trailing
cord, pull the basket to the ground.
When it was emptied, Eddie would
pull on his long cord and the
basket would go up to the wire be-
fore it started on’ the trip uphill.”
”1 suppose it would work. Pretty
childish way to go about collecting
extortion money.”
Jim smiled then went on in a
voice that had suddenly grown
grim. “Don’t forget it was Eddie
Stone up at the station. I have
an idea such a plan would have
appealed to him.”
“At least.” Mark said, 4,your
theory would account, for the wads
of paper around this pole. 80 we’ll
have to have them gathered up and
checked for prints. And I suppose
the guy down at this end waiting
until the last pay-off had been
made-according to the time
schedule—then sent up a glass of
strawberry pop loaded with cya-
nide?”
“An empty glass," Jim said.
And a container for the pop. So
it wouldn’t spill. I think that was
Eddie Stone’s reward for his work."
He walked over to the stake
marker where the pen had been
found, stared down at it as if the
piece of wood should speak. He
shook his head. “Be mighty care-
less to lose that initialed pen." He
started back toward Mark, the
sunlight glittered briefly from a
small square of metal, level with
the hard dirt. Jim scuffed at it
absently with his toe. It refused
to move. He bent over, scraped dirt
more cautiously.
“Find something. Jim?”
"Looks like an ice pick,” Jim said.
“An all-metal one.” He scraped with
with his knife. “An ice pick, sharp-
ened so it’d fit the description of
the murder w'eapon Dr. Pardon
gave us.”
The two men unearthed the ice
pick carefully, and Mark put it in
a roll of newspapers. It was an
advertising pick, one stamped with
the name of the donor, in this
case the Hughes Furniture Com-
pany.
’’And the ball point pen right
near by," Dunn said. ’Complete
with initials, O. W. Why, Mark?
One of them might have been
lost. That pick wasn’t lost, though.
It was stamped into the hard
ground. Was that to hide it? Or
were we supposed to find it—after
we located the ball point pen?
* * *
rpEN minutes later they were
* still discussing Jim’s questions,
when the man in denim Jacket and
jeans walked up.
“Been waiting until you boys got
through here. Didn’t like to Inter-
rupt. Morning, Lieutenant ”
“Vem Bruce, isn’t it?” Richards
demanded.
“That’s right. Used to know* you
when you were younger. Made a
kite for you once, a long time ago.”
The man was tall, with a narrow,
head covered by much too long
black hair streaked with gray.
There was gray stubble on his
cheeks, which made his face appear
not overly clean.
“You want something?”
“It’s this way, Lieutenant. You
know where I live? Next to old
Gaylord Mansfield’s place.”
”1 know.”
"Well. I been waiting around
awhile. Thought you or some other
cop would come around after what
happened last night to the Stone
boy. But I finally decided I might
ns well come up and get you. Might
be serious."
"Then get to the point," Richards
suggested.
Bruce shook his head slowly.
"Something’s wrong over at Mans-
field’s place.”
"Wrong? What’s wrong?"
"I didn’t want to take a look
around. Might run into Gaylord.
We aren’t very friendly. Haven’t
been since some years ago when
he wanted to borrow’ my Leppy cat
for an experiment.”
“Hold it a minute,” Richards
snapped. "I know how hipped you
are on your pets. Forget about them.
How do you know there’s something
wrong at Mansfield’s?"
"You told me to forget about
my cats. AH right. I won’t bother
you with them. And so I can’t tell
you how I know there’s something
wrong.”
‘I suppose your cats told you?”
There was a glint of what might
be humor in Bruce’s eyes.
"That’s right,” he drawled.
Jim Intervened before Richards
exploded. “Maybe we ought to drop
around, Mark. Remember Mansfield
ignored the demands.”
"Might come and see,” Bruce sug-
gested mildly.
He started off without another
word, and Jim and Mark followed.
♦ * *
rnHE two friends went through a
* gate into a large garden.
Along the right-hand fence which
cut off this garden from the Mans-
field property, a 12-inch plank had
been nailed so that it formed a
long bench, a good five and a half
feet from ground level, and six
inches from the fence top. At least
a dozen cats of all sizes, shapes,
and colors sat there.
They sat and stared over the
fence into the space beyond.
“Hi, kids,” Vem Bruce said.
Furry faces and gleaming eyes
turned momentarily toward the
men, then returned once more to
the important business of staring
over the top of the fence.
"See what I mean?” Bruce de-
manded. “They’ve been like that
since first thing this morning. Won’t
even take time to come down to eat.
That’s how I know there’s some-
thing wrong over there.”

MEDICAL TABLET DISCOVERY!
TY AD a letter from Alene Justice
ll Syebert (Norton) who now
resides in Pryor, in which was
enclosed a clipping from the Tulsa
Tribune.
The column clipped is captioned
‘The Rambler’ and la by Roger V.
Devlin. He too is Interested in
cook books and has got his hands
on one I would like* to own. Fat
chance. Its title, *The British
Housewife, or, the Cook, House-
keeper’s and Gardiner’s Compan-
ion” and as additional justifica-
tion for its printing in 1641 in
smaller type “Calculated for the
Service Both of London and the
Country, and Directing What Is
Necessary to be Done in Providing
For. Conducting and Managing a
Family Throughout the Year.”
A heavily engraved book-plate,
complete with ornate crest, in-
dicates the volume once belonged
to “The Right Hon’ble Patrick
Hume Earl of Marchmont, Vis-
count of Blasonberry, Lord Pol-
worth of Polwarth and Lord High
Chancellor of Scotland.”

YEARLY day cook-books contain-
M ed not only recipes for edi-
bles but advice and counsel as to
table setting, home remedies, and
personal performance. For in-
stance this volume has on the
title page this concise bit of in-
formation regarding the contents
"Embellished with a Great Num-
ber of Curious Copper Plates,
shewing the Manners of Trussing
all kinds of Game, Wild and
Tame Fowl, also the Order of
Setting out Tables for Grand
Entertainment, and by which
even those who cannot read will
be able to instruct themselves.”
Before any recipes for dishes
are offered, the volume cousels
the reader to eat only that which
is best suited to his constitution.
It says “whether he be sanguine,
bilious, phlegmatick or melancho-
lick he should manage his diet in
such a manner as to be con-
tinually improving his health by
moderating the occasions of what-
ever is redundant, whether blood,
gall or whatever. And thus he will
escape the Hand of the Physi-
cian.”
entirely to ashes, tye up this In
a Lawn Lag, dip it in Writink ink
and stop the nostrils with it.” One
wonders what constitutional ele-
ments made writink ink and
sponge r.shes compatible to the
extent of stopping a no6e bleed.
I have some old cook books but
nothin; to compare with the one
here quoted. Thanks, Mrs. Syebert
and Mr. Devlin.
