BERNARD (CopyHrht.l *</^LACK, clack-clack; clacks clackclack." • The old loom stood fan one end of the low veranda which frrmted the log cabin of Jerry Logan. Clarey Logan's bare feet were shifting the harness that carried the warp, while her nimble hands were throwing the shuttle back and forth with a regularity and a grace of movement that were the rhythm of motion. Clarey was eighteen, and she was as pretty as the wild hydrangeas that grew on the mountainside. She smiled at her work, and occasionally a burst of song would Issue from her throat. She was trying to convince herself that she was Indifferent to the loss of Zeke Odom whom she had dismissed with a fiery denunciation, on!y the night before. Zeke had been to meeting with Sallie Black, and Sallie was a notorious flirt. Zeke had denied that he was Infatuated with Sallie; and he had vowed that he loved no one but Clarey. But t^larey had been badly out of humor, and she had delivered a "piece of her mind" accordingly. Zeke finally had accepted his, dismissal, and had turned sadly a vay. "Clack, clack-Clack; clack, clackclack." Now, a smile; again,* a burst of song. Faster flew the shuttle from Clarey's hands. Presently her lips assumed • queer twist, and two tears came to her eyes. Slowly the pedals of the loom harness came to rest. The girl's bare toes toyed with them, as she leaned forward- against the frame of the loom. Her bosom rose and fell, jind a sob broke from between her lips. Suddenly she sat upright again, her teeth and lips came firmly together; and again the "clack, clackclack" of the old loom resounded down the mountainside ' "Ef Zeke Odom ain't got no more sense 'an to fool away his time wi* Sallie Black, he ain't no feller o' mine, nohow," she declared to herself. "Clack, clack-clack." A more rapid movement was given to the harness shifting, and the shuttle flew faster. Clarey was weaving a piece of llnesey- woolsey she had started sometime before. Into the warp of it she was weaving many colors of wool yarn. A skirt made -<f!rom it would be the admiration of the countryside; and no one could produce a cut from the loom as smoothly finished one that Clarey Logan could turn out "What for?" The question suddenly bobbed up In Clarey's thoughts. "I ain't got no call to dress up nonfe, now, I reckon." Once more the pedals came to a stop, and the shuttle slipped from Clarey's hand. She leaned against the .loom frame. She was dejectedly tired. Presently she was aroused by the sound of a footstep coming from behind the cabin. Some one was coming up the spring-branch trail. "Clack, clack-clack," the loom was saying, when a figure strode Into view at the end of the veranda. The visitor was Dave Moore. "Whar's Jerry?" he asked la hurried breaths. , "Gone over to ' Saddle-back," answered Clarey. • "Lord, I reckoned I could git him to go over to Odom's an' let 'em krow about Zeke." v ' • "About Ceke? What?" Clarey bad sprung from her seat - "Zeke's got bad hurt in a log Jam down at the river; and I--" By this time Clarey was speeding down the spring-branch trail toward the river. She knew the logs in the river were to have been released today, and she knew what it meant to have a Jam In the stream. Zeke Odom was tl»e leader of thf^log-boom hands, and he knew no fear. He would take any risk to speed the work In his hands. Clarey's thoughts ran rapU^y with all of these things, as her bare feet beat a rapid tattoo alon? the hard trail, over jagged stones, and thrusting aside the undergrowth along her way. A knot of men were gathered upon the bank of the river. "Don't know what bad got into Zeket" one was saying. "Never see'd 'lm so reckless afore In my life. 'Peared Kke he Jest wanted one o' them logs to come end over, an' git 'lm." "Git back!" shouted Clarey. "Don't yuh know Zeke's got to have air?" She began shoving men to the right and to the left. In a moment the girl was upon her knees, with a arm under the injured man's head. "Zeke, honey," she cried, "apen yuhr eyes, an' look at me? Hit's Clarey." "We throwed water la his face," some one said, "but .yah sea, ha ain't come to?" "Zeke! Zeke!" Clarey was sobbing now. "Yuh got to come to, hoft«y-- yuh Jest got to! rd die, Zeke--yah Jest know I would!" Zeke had gone upon a voyage of alienee that lasted for twenty minutes; but somethtng now came-glimmering through the haze pf his vision, and finally his eyes cleared to an object which brought a wan smile to his lips. A moment later his arm went about Clarey's neck, and he held her against his breast "It's Clarey?" he murmured, "Yes; hit's Clarey, Zeke," she cried; "an'--an', Zeke--I take hit all back, what I said!" "T reckon yuh had a right to say it, Clarey, honey. I reckon I'll come around all right purty soon.

In an effort to save the lives ^>f many of the fluffy youngsters who fall by the wayside between the incubator and the laying bouse. Is being waged by poultry men in the chief Novada producing areas. Through co-operation with the Nevada agricultural extension service, ProL V. & Scott poultry specialist, has announced, producers In several counties are inaugurating a "grow healthy chicks" project which. It Is hoped, will result In more egg* for Nevada breakfast* and more Sunday chicken dinners. With clean chicks, dean brooders, cfean yards, cleca Heed and clean management as their slogans and objectives, the chicken raisers have primed their guns for the fowl enemies. Nevada poultry men. Professor Scott states, are going to begin the flght with clean chfcks, which they will purchase from hatcheries having a clean bill of healtb and producing youngsters free from disease' and capable of high production. Brooders, Into which the delicate prospective dinners will be kept will receive the appellation of "spotless" when the chicken raisers are through with them, for they will be scraped of crust scrubbed with a hot lye solution and disinfected. Moreover, they will be cleaned dally, says Professor Scott, for Infant mortality among chicks can mount bigb under uncleanliness. When the chicks step forth from the brooders to get the sir nnd sun shine, It will not be on ordinary ground, but on new sweet earth or that on which a crop has grown, he says. Feed, too, will be clean, according to Scott who urges a well-balanced ration in clean troughs scrubbed daily, together with fresh water In clean drinking fountains. And the management be says, will take every precaution to prevent contamination from other fowls or other poultry yards. LEGAL NOTICES FRED B.

Green Street New Egg Mold Causing Losses to Handlert Recently a peculiar mold which develops on egg shells during shipment and in cold storage has caused some heavy losses to the handlers of cold storage eggs. As nearly as can he learned, It seems l hat this mold ti caused by using crates made of unseasoned or iKtorly seasoned wood. This spot mold first appears on the outside of the egg shell. It lesves the egg unsightly and reduces its market value. Within a short time it will penetrate the shell, spreading through the interior surface and giving the egg a moldy flavor. It can be eliminated by using only well-seasoned egg'crates. Disinfect IncubatoW A thorough disinfectant of all Incubators and Incubator trays previous to the hatching season Is In ordef.
