D.--Western ifflms which depict cattle rustlers riding at breakneck speed on fleet-footed ponies as they round ap the herds which they plan driving off will have to be revised to meet modern conditions. The modern cattle thief does not ride a horse. The modern truck has been substituted for the broncho in cattle rustling operations of the present day. Some of the cattle thieves who operate in thinly settled districts in northwestern Sooth Dakota, near the Wyoming and Montana boundary, lines, are said to have fleets of tracks, which they operate at night, and which have sufficient capacity to enable them to transport from 20 to 40 or 50 cattle or calves at a single trip. Best Animals Taken. It^vas such rustler* who raided the herds of R. C. Moraman, rancher living northeast of Eagle Butte. He had 25 calves taken from a feed lot in one night The same rustlers, with their fleet of trucks, may have been responsible for a raid on the cattle range of Hansley & Star, south of Lantry, for between dark and daylight 25' head of steers disappeared from their herds. The animals had evidently* been carefully "cut" from the herd, as only choice animals In good flesh were, taken, scrubs and lean cattle not being molested. It Is believed the cattle are taken by truck to some distant market and sold by the thieves to persons who have no suspicion that they have been stolen^ Matthew Tiernan, rancher In the Cheyenne river district, had 20 head of his cattle carried away by the truck-equipped rustlers. Dick Richardson, another rancher, lost 16 head of cattle, while W. H. Crowley had 25 head taken. Losses Are Heavy. It Is agreed by ranchers that operating as they do under modern condition^, and with swift trucks in which to carry away the stolen animals, the rustlers are causing cattle owners heavier losses than were caused big cattle men during the days of the great cattle ranges of western South Dakota. In those days, with rustlers operating with bronchos, they were satisfied in mOst instances with a "kill" of 12 or 15 cattle at a single raid. "The losses sustained in the aggregate," said E. G. Wilkinson, prominent rancher of northwestern South Dakota and president of the Western South Dakota Stockmen's Protective association, "constitute the heaviest tax that the individual sufferers paybut it is a crime tax which only criminals collect and profit by. A specialized police force constabulary, trained In detection of cattle thieves, as well as horses, poultry and other farm produce thieves, is needed in this sparsely settled west-river territory, where distance from point to point handicaps local peace officers in their work." Worry Is Worst Enemy of Health, Doctor Says Vienna.--If you have high blood pressure, if you have a nervous heart, are troubled with insomnia or some other chronic Illness, don't worry. That's the advice of Dr. Joseph Lobel, famous Austrian physician, who says that most of the fears of illness are unfounded. "Everyone will quite readily abandon fear if he gets something else in exchange for it," the doctor says. This should be confidence. The best means to prolong one's life Is not to shorten it by melancholy. Man only dreads mystery. Anything that we understand thoroughly and realize cannot cause fear. So, above all, don't worry about yonr blood pressure. If yon do yon will drive It np." Judge Rules Bookworms Must Not Bathe in Library Buffalo, N.

It is said that the vol urnes la the library •scored in this mannei i Jfea oily Acted w m DOROTHY DOUGLAS (Copyright.» ««DOLLY, you're Just wasting your * breath. I simply won't hajve anything more to do with Tom." J Edith's cheeks were flushed and Her eyes snapping: "Well, I think you are acting like a narrow, catty girl. You know very well how much Tom loves you or he wouldn't have asked yon to marry him." "Then he's got no right to wake engagements with a girl he was engaged to before. She's probably Just come on East to make up to him and vamp him--even if she is married herself. Tom should have called me up first, Instead of just telephoning me to say he had made an engagement for tonight and hope*) I would doll up In my sweetest of gowns and meet his old friend, Susie. Well--I wont, so there!" ° "But Edith, Susie's husband Is along. It was Just to be a happy foursome." "Yes, with me palmed off on hubby so that Susie and Tom can talk of the dear' days gone by. Nothing doing. She can have Tom." Tolly stood up and pulled on her chiffon scarf. "I'm sorry you couldnt hnve^bldden your Jealousy," she said, "ami you have hurt Tom to the quick. He was so proud of you and wanted to show yoi^ofT, but--perhaps In time you will see things in a broader light.'" I'olly went home and tried to shake Tom's troubles from her shoulders and also tried to be a bit fair to Edith. She had scarcely sat down to pon> der on love affairs In general when the telephone rang. --t "Polly, this Is Tom again. You can't do anything with her, can you? You're a good sport for try ins. I wish you wouldn't mind my asking you to be Edith, Just for this evening. I'olly gasped. "What gpod would that do?" "As a matter of fact, Polly, I hato having Susie know that I am engaged to a sirl who won't meet her. She's one of my boyhood friends and it hurts to have her see me in a mess like this. It would be all over my home town and people who don't know Edith would get the impression" that she'd Just narrow." "I'll be glad to help you out, Tom," said Polly. "I'll doll up quickly and you can call for me at seven. Ta, ta." Susie and Susie's husband proved most charming and there was not the slightest doubt that they, too, found Polly charming. But then, who wouldn't? Polly's eyes were a mixture of mauve and deep blue and her lashes long and upturned. She was gentle and apparently much in love with Tom. Tom would have been only too pleased to have had greater possession of Polly during the evening but Susie's husband saw to It that no such thing happened. In fact Tom felt something like a thundercloud enveloping him as he watched Polly and Susie's husband having dance after dance together and having no thought for anyone but themselves. Susie glanced amusedly at Tom's troubled eyes. "Tommy, Bert Is Just doing that to tease you and to give us plenty of time to chat. We love each other so dearly that we couldn't even think of any one else seriously." She put a sisteriy hand on his. "Don't be Jealous--jealousy breaks up many a happy love offair. She's a perfect darling, Tom, and you see--she's not even caring how much you and I are together. She trusts you--yon must do the same. She's worth it." Tom smiled suddenly and returned the pressure of Susie's warm flutters. "Ill try not to be jealous and perhaps, since you like Polly so much, we may stop off. at Cedar Riplds on our honeymoon and visit you. How'* that?" Polly," said Tom, an hour later, when he had Polly tucked careful I v beside him In the taxi homeward bound. "I told Susie that I would bring you out to visit them MI our honeymoon." Again Polly gasped. "Edith and I are not exactly twins," she told him. "How will you explain. I'm sorry, as personally I think Susie and her husband are both perfect dears. I wish they lived in the East so that I could make friends with them. I do think, Tom, you might have been a little more thoughtful of Edith. If you had telephoned her flrst and asked her If she wanted to make the engagement, she might not have felt as she did. You must remember Edith Is a wee bit Jealous, but that Is not unnatural." ' Tom heaved a sigh. "I suppose yon are right, Polly, but I can never love Edith now." "Why the--now?" questioned Polly and kept her voice from trembling though her heart felt suddenly like bursting into song, "Because, dear, I lore you. Will there be any chance In the world- Polly," he cried. "There must be a chance--I don't think I could live If you love any man bijt me. However." he laughed triumphantly and folded Polly Into his arms, "I'm not going, to kick In and I have already promised Sue--you know." "We couldn't disappoint Suf," Polly said happily. s 4 rr CERTIFIED CHICKS FAVORED Must Be Rigid Supervision of Hatching Eggs. * I . I • ! I L L •• Tfcs purchaser of baby chicks generally gets Just what be pays for and buying cheap chicks from unknown hatcheries usually results In a failure of the poultry project. "The backbone of the hatchery business lies entirely in the flocks supplying the hatchery with egjs*.* says Itoy iv Ikenrstyne, head of the North Caivlina Stat* college poultry department. There must he a rigid supervision of tho$« supplies to assure I hat the breeding stock, sanitation and management of the supply llock Is ol the best. Production, tyi* and constitutions! vigor must be In the breed ing birds. They must be housed right, fed right, free of il!«ense nnd should pay a profit to'the poultry-nun and the hatchery before they are tlnni ly delivered nt the customer's <l<n>r." The promiscuous hatching ol "ny kind of eggs to produce baby chicks for sale Is s thing of the past, de clnres Mr. Dearstyne. It is quite expensive to build up a flock of standard hens of high producing power and quality. This often Involves trapnesting, measuring the qualities of the individual birds, careful selection of abilities to produce a marketable egg, and other factors entering Into successful poultry production. Especially is It Important that the eggs be free from the germ borne diarrhea disease. Some hatcheries ad vertlse that their chicks are from blood tested flocks but do not say when oor how. The purchaser, says Mr. Dearstyne, should know his hatchery and Its record and find If It offers something In addition to price alone. The purchasing of quality chicks with production behind them is a money saving investment. When chicks are sold at a very reduced rate. It means that they are hatched from pullet eggs or that the hatchery Is getting little If any profit. Selection of Breeding Birds Sometimes Hard The first point to consider In connection with the selection is the number of breeding birds likely to be required to produce sufficient hatching eggs at the right period. Prolonged hatching must be avoided as far as possible, and consequently there must be an adequate number of breeders. An extra pen of birds will probably provide a surplus number of eggs, enabling the breeder to avoid the possibility of a shortage when most needed. To arrive at the number of birds required to supply the eggs during a given period, one would be safe In estimating an output of four hatchable eggs weekly from each bird. A hundred breeders should have no dlfflcultj In providing 400 ^ggs a week, and if the selection of stdck has been carried out on. sound lineS\iuost of these eggs will be suitable fo^-batching. It should be borne In mind also that, under normal conditions, not more than 70 to 80 per cent of the eggs incubated hatch out, while from these there will be at least SO per cent cockerel chicks. Thoroughbred 8»p<hl ' The thoroughbred horse Is larger, swifter and at least as hardy and gentle as an Arab. Ground Alfalfa Good for Hatchable Eggs (preen feed and direct sunlight or cod liver oil are both necessary to produce a maximum percentage of batchable eggs, according to recent tests at the Ohio experiment station. Direct sunlight or the feeding of cod liver oil has little benefit unless a green feed is available at the same time and, according lo D. C. Kennard, in charge of poultry investigations, a high quality alfalfa meal used as a part of the mash makes a very satisfactory solution of the green feed problem. He also finds that milk in some form serves very effectively as a partial substitute for green feed, and for this reason makes an Important part of the ration for layers kept In confinement. Better Care Needed^ -- Farm people are doing a better Job of raising baby chicks than they are of caring for their mature pullets and laying stock, according to R. W. Whitfield, Iowa State college, after a survey of 243 farm flocks in 12 counties. Seventy-two per cent of the farmers were feeding a baby chick ration that was suitable, 65 per cent were using brooder houses and stoves, fil per cent raised their chicks on clean ground, and 69 per cent had found It profitable to raise pullets separately. &Xb'f Mrs. M.
