"Just a minute," he replied with mounting heat "No one is to blame for anything but yourself." • . "Thief!" Barnum leaped toward him. "You stole her." Before Walsh could defend hintr self his accuser was upon him, his powerful fingers at his throat. They went down together, the bigger man on top, his clutch tightening on Walsh's windpipe.

Such a risk may often be avoided by using the telephone. The telephone is a proved and profitable link between farm and market. To follow market trends and locate good prices by telephone is simple and inexpensive. Both the salcitself and the shipping arrangements may be made over the wire.
