Mt To" a ym le le #0 A A Re rw a Canadian Post-War Food Sales To U.K, Too many Canadians, giving at- tention to our chances for post-war food sales to Britain, have concluded that the Old Land has no choice other than to turn to us for. what she needs, Lord De La. Warr, Chairman of the British Agricul- tural Research Council," has been doing something to set Canadian thinking straight on this matter, The trouble is 'that we haye been overlooking the great strides in production Britain has made in this war, His Lordship quotes .some startling figures as to the volume of growth of foodstuffs in the British Isles. British Isles, says Star, cannot be entirely self-supporting, she will not be coming to us cap in hand and begging for our pro- duce, She is in a position to bar- gain, and she will have much to sell. We shall have to trade, not merely to supply out of our lordly abundance. That means we shall have to keep the quality of our foodstuffs at a uniformly high level, and also be reasonably willing to accept in payment the goods the Motherland has to sell, The Windsor BIG, BUT D DUMB Once a Nazi "loudspeaker" on the Russian front, this huge seige gun is silenced now.

Wet Paper Bag- Can Be Strong "Wet-Strength" Papers Have Been Developed To Meet Wartime Needs It ever you have happened to have been 'caught out in a rain with an armload of paper sacks filled_with assorted groceries, you know from sad experience that ordinary paper practically disin- tegrates under the influence of moisture, says W. P. Keasbey, in the Christian Science Monitor. It is 'not surprising, then, that when there was a severe short- age of burlap and other packag- ing material, potato growers were slow to adopt paper sacks for their product, They had earlier learned " "from - experience that vegetables * containing moisture tend to so weaken paper bags as to cause them to burst. "Wet strength" papers have proven successful not only in sacking potatoes, but also in such other radical mew paper uses as wrapping frozen foods; making camouflage strips and netting ex- posed to fog, snow, and rain; niak- ing books and pamphlets for use' of armed forces under conditions which may involve the paper get- ting wet; and even in the fabrica- tion of paper towels which, after being used, can be rinsed, and Jhen dried Land Jed again.

Inside was the faded photo- graph of a young woman, It was a pretty face, but rather a hard one, and there was a marked re- semblance to Lois. "I remembered her, aiter I found this locket," said the girl. "You say you found this?" asked Dave, handing her back the locket. "Where did yuh find it?" "Not a hundred yards away from here, lying on a ledge under a heap of dead leaves." "It's queer," said Dave. "Yuh got no idea how it could have got here?" "I've racked my brains trying to imagine. Unless my mother was some relative of Mr. Lonergan's, and gave him the locket, and, he dropped it here. You sce, Mr. Lon- ergan made the Hookers adopt me and bring me here. But why should he have come here?" He's never been here since, nor anyone. I'm sure nobody in Mescal knows of mn "its existence." "Well," said Dave, "things have a way of comin' to light, Some day we'll know. You sure had a tough break, girl, not even knowin' yho yore dad was, and livin' up in these mountains. Did yuh ever fig- ure on what yuh were goin' to do in life?" "T never figured on getting away, Dave, till Mr. Hooker diced. Nor till you came," said Lois. "I hat- . ed the men who used $0 come around me when I was in Mescal, or over at.the Cross-Bar." ) , Dave tried to keep back the words, but they seemed to come spontancously from his lips: "Just before Mr. Hooker died he made me promise that I'd look out for yuh. I told him of course I would. When I first see yuh, Lois, all worked up over Black Dawn, and madder at me than a hornet; I knew just the same you were the cnly girl I'd ever wanted.

Then, suddenly, looking into the girl's luminous eyes, Dave knew that she loved 'him, and that every- thing was going 'to be well with them, no matter what trials might still lie ahead of them, He drew her into his arms, and . she laid her head upon his shoul- der, face upturned to his. . "Yuh ain't--ain't cryin' girl?" "I reckon I am," she answered, "I'm so happy, Dave. I didn't know I could be happy like this, I never cried for anybody else, and I've cried twice for you "Twice? I made yuh cry?" "The first time was when 1 was sure you hadnt' killed Mr. Hooker. And. both times have made me happy. I don't want -to leave you ever." . » * After a while he heard her breathing deeply and regularly, and found that she had fallen asleep. He sat there, holding her tightly, till the pale light of dawn came creeping into the cave. "There's a mesa in the moun- tains about a mile away, that I don't think anyone except myself has ever seen," said Lois that af- ternoon. "I think we'll take the horses there, The grass is pretty well gone from here, and they'll need some good grazing before we start." "You'll be able to ride in about a couple of days more, honey," said Dave® "Is there a trail through the mountains to the other side?" Los nodded. "I found it, too." she said. "It runs right through across the Border, Dave. We'll never have to go back to Mescal, and nobody will dream we've come through the mountains, * * * Dave didn't relish the idea of flight, But for Lois, he would pro-- bably have scouted about the Mes- cal district by night, in the hope of unearthing the clue to Hooker's murder, He was pretty well .con- vinced that whoever had killed the old man would return to the cabin or betray himself in some manner, And he had more than a suspicion that Sheriff -Coggswell was con- vined of his own. innocenc_ But Lois' welfare came first, and Dave realized that the chief task which lay before him was to get her through the mountains to some place of safety.

Releasing the horses, they watch- ed them start gras ing eagerly, seat- ed side by side in the warm sun- light. "What juh say to Sur startin' the day after tomorrow, honey?" asked Dave. "I'm ready, Dave, girl shyly. "And yul'll marry me, soon as we hit the other side of the moun- tains and find us a minister?" * Lois nodded, her face aglow, then hid it in Dave's shoulder, The gol- den minutes ran by unheeded, At last,t when the sun was dipping to- ward the west, they rose to get the horses. Both came c¢antering to Lois at her whistle, and the two remounted and rode back ot their cave. "If we've startin' tomorrow, what yuh think of restin' up today an lettin' me take the horses to the mesa? asked Dave next morning, 'Maybe I'll leave them thers over- night and walk back this even', There's no place they could. stray to, is there?" "No., they'll be quite safe there," answerd Lois. "I'll be back around midday to see how you're gettin' along," he told her, and then rode away on Hooker's horse, .
