In Sarabong Marian was being entertained by Hinkle, another of the men who took her mind off her loneliness and a drinking partner at her parties. "I'm primarily a salesman, and It's a punk salesman that takes 'no' for an answer. I've found out this much: A lot of negatives sometimes make a positive." • .

AAA and FCA Pact To Influence All of McHenry county who fail to take part in the corn-hog and wheat adjustment programs may find themselves in an embarrassing position when they apply for short-term credit from the government agencies, according1 to a co-operative agreement drawn up recently between the Farm Credit Administration and the Agricultural Adjustment A^ninistr^on, both of Washington. "This does not rneairi that any farmer who has adequate security and is otherwise eligible to borrow will be barred from obtaining loans for financing agricultural production from production credit associations," ex plains the extension service of the College of Agriculture, University of I.Illinois, in a report to Farm Advisor, W. A. . Herrington. "However, the farmer who has not signed a produc- Scenes and Persons in the Current News Wlif rode into town a short while after Hinkle hftd supervised a shipment of "farm 'implements" that arrived on A steamer that morning. Van deri Wyck. the, Resident General, acting tender orders from his superior, could, do nothing about the •farm implements," although he knew that, those boxes labeled so ihnocuouslv were. In reality, firearms. Both- Hinkle and van den Wvck went to the International Club from the pier, but they went their separate ways, van den Wyck not havinz any desire to even be thought of In the same mind as Hinkle. It was there Rand found-van den Wyck, at the club. The many, men of many nations in the room greeted Steve heartily as he walked up to the Resident General. "Welcome back. Rand," said vai den Wyek* ; How's the ;wprl going?" "Slowly. Everything's heel The knife whizzed past him burying itself in the wood of the wheel. {Posed by Jack Holt.) *i know I'm right. But I'm not rushing you. Take your time. You've got a week to figure it out." He reached into his pocket and drew forth two tickets. "The Springbok sails next Thursday I've booked passage for two." He returned the tickets to his pocket. "See you later." With that he took his departure. On his way to town Rand discovered the charred remains of his supply wagons. As he examined them a Bombay man watched him from behind a tree. He was a thief and an assassin. While Rand was bending over what remained of a bag labeled sugar, the thief raised his knife to throw it. It flew through the air. but Rand moved to regard a wheel and the knife whizzed past him. burying itself, quivering, in the wood of the wheel. Rand quickly turned, pulling out his pistol as he did so. He' heard a stirring in the underbrush and fired. A cry of pain reached his ears and he ran toward H. Rand discovered the assassin writhing in pain on the ground, clutching his ankle. Grimly, without mercy. Rand grabbed him by the forearm and dragged him back onto the trail. "You should have thrown me a fork with that knife." he said, as the native screamed with anguish. "I'm hungry. What happened to my oxcarts? Oxcarts!" Rand deposited the man by the base of a tree and Btood over him, threatening the man with his pistol. The man gibbered In a foreign tongue. "Come on--you know what I mean. What happened to them?" Rand was tempted to shoot the man, but resisted as It was of no practical use at the moment. "Can't speak English, huh? Well. I'm going; to give you a lesson In it." He bent over and tied the man's arms with the lanyard from his pistol, then rolled him on his back again. "It's really an easy lesson. It owes much to the Latin, but has also some Greek origin. And it's borrowed in a large measure from the Germanic and the Gallic tongues--which makes it very simple. I heard that in college." While he talked Rand put water on the native's face and then smeared it with sugar. 'Butwhatever the root--ants are the same in any language. They crave FUgar, and you have sugar on^ your face. Ants go where sugar is. So you know where they'll be pre* • ently." He sat down and regarded the native. "When they get on your face, you're not going to like it Because ants are vindictive little in5 wrong," Rand said significantly. "Last thing, I found my wagon train of supplies had been held up and burned on the trail." Van den Wyck stared at him. "That's odd!" "Very! I've got another train at carts being loaded. Pull out tonight. I want you to send jnme native police to guard it." "My force is so small," van den Wyck started uneasily. Rand deliberated a moment. •"Well, orders are orders--and you seem to have yours." "I am helpl ess, Rand," the official said earnestly. "Believe me, I am." Rand slapped him on the shoulder. "No use trying to shuffle after the cards are dealt. Forget It." He turned to the bartender. "Martini!" Th» bartender placed the cocktail on the bar. "I sent up the chain* • pagne this afternoon for the party, Mr. Rand." Steve looked at the man In amasement. "The party?" Suddenly he realized that he was looking foolish. "Oh, yes--the party. Good! I stopped off here to order the wine, myself." Cheerily, Rand turned to face the room. Quickly and coolly he picked out liis friends among the loungers and invited them to the party. To further his purpose of not allowing those present to sense his discomfiture, he ordered another case of champagne for the party. In the midst of n toast, Steve looked up swiftly, as a raucou# voice from a corner table jangled on his already tried nerves. "Yes, slrree. We done it, and don't ^t anybody tell you different," the voice went on. "Us guys from the old U. S. won the war and we're not ashamed' to say so. neither. What do you know about that?" Rand located the voice. It belonged to llinkle, and it was for the immediate benefit of his tablemates, Major Carstairs Oliver and von Arnheim, who was wearing a monocle. Steve strode over to the table and laid a heavy hand on Hinkle's shoulder. The man whirled around, starting suddenly as he identified Rand. "Surprised to see me, Hinkle?" "Why -- er -- yes," stammered the man. "You know, Hinkle," sa!d Rand. "I couldn't help overhearing your interesting post-mortem of the World War." He turned to von Arnheim. * You were in it, weren't you, von Arnheim?" The German nod '.od. *'Ober- Lieutenant, German 1 ii«ht Corps." And you, sir?"

Each production credit association will have in its possession a list of. farmers co-operating with the AAA in the territory it serves and will know which farmers have signed contracts. Thus, the farmer who has not signed an adjustment contract will be required to obtain a certificate from the county council which will be accepted as evidence that the farmer is not increasing the production of certain crops to the detriment of the success of AAA programs. .
