THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 2i, 1941 Trails End <=» William M^Lepd.Raine, CHAPTER 17 - From the buckboard he had just driven into the Hat T plaza, Russell Mosely descended and flung the lines to a stable boy. "Send Jud to me--and Pesky Kennedy, if he is here." He strode to the main house, walked up the porch steps, and vanished inside the house, a long low structure which occupied one side of the square. The bunk-houses of the men and the mess hall faced it. On one flank were the store, the blacksmith shop, and an old adobe building used for piling up saddles, bridles, harness, and ranch implements. On the other, more adobe shacks, the stables, and back of these a corral. The Hat T home ranch was a squalid enough place, entirely without any attempt to make it presentable. Its owner had been too occupied with making money to have any pride about keeping up appearances. Some day he meant to build a big house, marry, and found a dynasty. But there was still plenty of time for that. He was not quite thirty-three, and as yet had not found a chance to enjoy life. Since the age of ten he had been making his own way in the world, and it had been hammered into him that the way to power and place in the Hnd was to hold large possessions in his grasp. " For the first time today, as he had looked down on the ramshackle buildings and their desolate background from the road which dipped into a long slope to the ranch, there had risen in him a feeling of distaste for the ugliness of the scene. He was thinking of how it would appear to the eye of a young woman used to the neat houses and orderly lawns of a little Ohio town. The stable boy went to the blacksmith shop where Prentiss was supervising the shoeing of a horse. As he approached, the boy heard the heavy voice of the foreman shouting at the man fitting the shoes. "Anybody with a lick of sense knows how easy it is to ruin a good horse with shoes that don't fit. I dunno who ever told you that you are a blacksmith, Dunn." When the stable boy delivered his message, Prentiss seemed to pay no attention. He kept on roughly criticizing the smith, then in his heavy flat-footed way clumped across the square to the house. "Mean as a bear with a sore paw today," the wrangler said, his eyes following the heavy awkward figure. "Why say today in particular?" Dunn wanted to know. "Did you ever know him in a decent temper? One of these days I'll let him have a hammer on that thick skull of his. To hear him you'd think we were all slaves." The boy departed to get Pesky. He found the range rider in the -c-Jg&r- • To the tramp of marching feet, the of machine guns and the rumble of I world.

Kennedy was disturbed. "He's got a kick about something. That's a cinch. Darned if I stay on a ranch where you get hauled up on the carpet for every dog-goned thing you do." "Jud is with him," the boy volunteered. The cowboy glanced at the bedroll on the bunk which he had just brought in with him. There was something in it which might come in handy if they started to ride him too much. He hesitated an instant and then made up his mind. There was no sense in looking for trouble before it "That's a damn lie, Russ. I don't care who told you. Silcott butted in at the Trail's End before any of us had said a word to him. We were lined up at the bar having a drink. He wasn't in the party. Just horned in, like The hard insolent voice of Mosely answered. "Silcott didn't say a word till you started to beat up on Lamprey's kid brother. Don't deny it. I talked with wit- "Meaning Kroelling and that bartender Walt." "They did not want to talk, but I got the story out of them. Listen, Jud." The manner of the Hat T owner was offensively arrogant. "You're just one of my hired hands. Don't forget that* Any time you want to beat up Jess Lamprey it's all right with me, or Phil either, if you want to pick on a kid just out of the cradle. But don't make the play you are doing it for me, not unless I give you orders. I'm running this ranch. Understand? When I want anybody punished I'll let you know." "I didn't say I was acting for you," Prentiss replied sullenly. "You can't ride me, Russ. I'm no four-bit puncher. I won't take it." "You'll take it long as you draw wages from me," Mosely told him evenly. "I thought you knew I was boss here, Jud." "That doesn't make me yore slave. I don't come to' heel like a whipped cur." A \ shadow darkened ihe doorway. (Continued next week) Tack This Up On Hen House Hens Expected to Work Overtime to Produce More Eggs For United States and When the old rooster sounds reveille down on the farm these days, it is a signal for the hens in the flock to get an early start on a full day's work for Uncle Sam and England, writes Roderick Turnbull in The Kansas City Star. For the hen really is playing an important part in the defence program. The United States Government wants more eggs for the health of the American people, for the American soldiers in camp and for the people in England. Dried eggs afford a great economy in shipping space, a vital factor in this country's aid to England. A 30-dozen case of eggs dries down to ten pounds, including the package. All the food value in the original egg is maintained in the powder of the dried egg. You can do everything with a dried egg you do with a fresh one, except fry, boil or poach it. The product can be served as scrambled eggs or in any omelet. It can be used in all kinds of cooking. The Government of the United States this year already has purchased 3,250,000 cases of eggs as compared with 2,500,000 cases in all of 1940. Thousands of cases have been sent to Britain. Silk Stockings Soon to Vanish The most beautiful thing on earth--a well-filled stocking -- to quote Mary Garden of the Chicago Opera, will be a thing of the past by October 1, according to the predictions of the Office of Production Management in the United States. For after two days of discussions the O.P.M. has come to the realization that silk hose for women must be sacrificed for the national defence effort. There may be a rush to buy them, but merchandisers are not going to be permitted to boost the prices.

Aluminum For Young Aeronauts Air-Minded Youth in Canada and the United States Make Model Airplanes PowereiTby Gasoline Engines People visiting model aircraft meets in recent years have been amazed to find that in addition to the model airplanes driven by elastic bands, the young builders flew craft which were powered by tiny gasoline engines. The zeal and the air-mindedness of youth in Canada and the United States have to be seen to be believed. The U. S. authorities recently made a decision which indicates how greatly they cherish this air-mindedness in American boys and youths. Aluminum is a commodity so precious in building American air power that a shortage threatens in the face of the demand. Yet the Office of Production Management, the body that determines how available supplies shall be used in defence industries, has authorized the allotment of as much as 40,000 pounds of aluminum to manufacturers ol these tiny model engines. Women Helped £ Sink Bismark Women's Royal Naval Service Takes Part In Battle of Atlantic, Handling Signals and Charts Women are taking an important part in the Battle of the Atlantic. They even had a share in the operation which resulted in the destruction of the German battleship Bismarck. In the headquarters directing the Battle of the Atlantic these officers and ratings of the Women's Royal Naval Service wrork day and night at key jobs. Thus they release experienced men for service at sea. The most secret signals about the ceaseless ocean struggle pass through their hands. By code and cypher they translate the which flash between warships, and the base. Some of these women work at charts, plotting the ever-changing positions of convoys and warships with great efficiency. Most of the signals which pas3 through their hands for coding or decoding concern routine movements Of ships. But now and then come the brief wireless messages telling off some tragedy or success away out there at sea. Through their hands there passed the urgent signals which told the story of the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck and its final destruction. Those who worked on the slg-nas about the chase and sinking of the battleship Bismarck are delighted to think that they were privileged to play a part in this operation. But even to their fellow-ratings in the same group they cannot give details of those thrilling hours as the exciting wireless messages about the operation came streaming in. Britain Trains Women Recruits Hairdressers and charwomen are among the most promising recruits at Government Training Centres for women engineers in Britain. S Hairdressers, whose hands and fingers have become sensitive from wave-setting are doing particularly well on precision and fine instrument work. Charwomen, with their well-developed muscles, are tackling heavier jobs well. They concentrate on such work as painting and cleansing heavy castings they remove from the moulds. No Tea Shortage In view of the alarmist reports about the tea situation consumers will be glad to have the hope expressed by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board that due to shipping arrangements which have been concluded adequate supplies for the remainder of the year will arrive In this country.

CHAMBERS A Medley of Conserves All of us who like something different do delight in trying new recipes. Nothing gives us a better scope for this than the making of new conserves. I have a number of requests and I am going to combine them in this week's column with a few very special favorites. Peach Conserve 15 large peaches 1 lemon 1 orange 1 grapefruit 1 teaspoon almond flavoring % teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup blanched shredded almonds Sugar, equal quantities for peaches Peel and slice peaches, add orange, grapefruit and lemon.

Home Made Bread The Speedier Way Not the Way Mother Used to Make it But it Will be Just as Good Remember how Mother always "set" her bread the night before, and then kneaded it in good shape next day, before she put it into the loaf pans to rise again? And by noontime, the kitchen would have that tantalizing odor of home-baked bread. Well, you can have home-baked bread by twelve o' clock, too, and you needn't start the bread-making procedure till ten o'clock in the morning, either! Here is the recipe. 3 cakes yeast 4 tablespoons sugar 6 tablespoons warm water 2 cups milk 4 tablespoons lard 5 teaspoons salt 2 cups cold water 12-14 cups all-purpose flour Crumble yeast, add sugar and warm water, and stir until smooth. Scald milk, pour over lard and salt, stir until melted, then add cold water.

Divide dough into 6 pieces. Place 2 pieces of dough in each buttered bread pan. Brush tops with butter. Preheat oven 1 minute. Turn off oven and place loaves on the rack. Close oven door. Let rise 30-38 minutes. The bread should be double in bulk and up to top ot pan. Set oven heat control at 425* F. and bake bread ten minutes. Then reduce temperature to 375* F. and bake 50 minutes.
