A CiitT.lCAL There- spcms to be one logical way to remedy overproduction problem, nn'l that is to producing 1 more than can be used. Along with agriculture, the oil in- du'dry and copper and silver mining have had overproduction which has made important commodities next to valueless. After voluntary "conservation" movements-in Ui'c oil industry, to remedy the overproduction menace, Oklahoma and Texas have taken tho bull by the horns and, through the action of their legislatures and governors, have provided for shutting down oil wells and thereby securing control of an ab-iovmal situation. Mining executives, with copper selling at cents a pound and at around 25 cents an ounce, and surpluses piling up to the greatest on record, are struggling with a situation as difficult as the oil industry.

The national objective of the Rotary is world peace, of the Lions gcxkl eyesight, of the Kiwanis, underprivileged child, aVid so on. Frequently local clubs pull' off a mass stunt that is impressive. Consider the "Optimist Club" of El Paso, which is sponsoring a feeding contest among the 4H boys and girls in that sector. It was at first only a local matter, but the idea took so that it has. expanded to cover twenty-two counties in West Texas and New Mexico, and will culminate with' the first Southwestern Baby Beef show at El October 1 to 3, when purebred Hereford calves fed by sixty 4H club boys and girls and vocational students will be judged and sold.

There is a service club stunt for you that is really worth while. There never was a time when the livestock industry in this country needed more sympathy and encouragement than now. Nor was there evei'" a when the American people, more needed regular feed of nerve 'and body-building beef than right now. No phase of education will surpass that which will teach the youngsters to'market a steer, their fathers are content with a 70(5- pounder. "Whether we like it or the southwest, must forever' put its chief reliance in livestock.

Whoever extends the knowledge of better cattle is a public benefactor. For that reason the El Paso Optimist club is a bunch of benefactors. There are still'some odds and end's of a curious nature floating around in the Associated Press and other news agencies just as there" used'to be. Here are a few that the writer encountered in one day's regular work as telegraph editor of the Carlsbad Current-Argus: Mrs'. Henrietta G.

She said to the maid: What on earth do'es she I can't see her anyhow. Tell I'm busy, Mary-" Mary hesitated. that you were just going -Shcrrill, she said' it was important." "All right." Sam re- signqdly.

"tell her. I'll be down immediately." 1 was something different about Eugenie Frye. 'Sam recognized that fact at once, even though the change lay in nothing tangible. The widow's manner had She seemed subdued that was it. Her air of bravado and of defiance to the world was gone, as was her nervousness in Sam's presence.

She shook hands and apologized for her intrusion. "I know you are very busy Miss Shorrill, and I hate to -bother you. I can't help it for lust a few niinutes. need your "My help?" Sam was; mildly sur-. prised.

"Why, of course, Mrs. Frye. If there's anything I can "Thank you." The widow nodded aml.glanced wistfully about the room. Then she said abruptly; "How is Mr. Aldersea? Is he well?" "Fourth? Why yes, he's well.

He's quite- well, thank you. Had you heard he was ill?" "No." Eugenie took a long breath. "I hadn't heard anything. That's why I came to sec you Miss Shcrrill. I haven't heard anything from Mr.

Aldersea for weeks." "Oh." Sam was beginning to understand, and she realized at once that she must proceed warily. "I see. Well, to tell you the truth, Mrs, Frye, Fourth has been He's boon so very busy that he hasn't had a moment for social matters. You can understand that, of course." "Yes, I can understand that." The other nodded. "But I wasn't expecting to sec him socially, Miss Slier- rill.

There is a little matter of business." "Business!" Sam sat up very straight. "What sort of business?" It was the widow's turn to he surprised. "Why, books, of course. I ordered a set of books from Mr. Aldersea some time ago, and they haven't come." Sam relaxed and sank back in her chair.

"It wasn't anything but books!" "Just books. I thought "One moment, Mrs. Frye. -I can see you haven't heard." 'She spoke gently. "Fourth isn't selling books any more.

'He lias given it up." "Oh." The widow said the word quietly, but Sain noticed that patches red suddenly burned brightly in her checks. "Oh. He isn't selling books any more." "No." There was a pause, so long and so awkward that Sam finally felt called upon to amplify her statement. "He novel- liked it very well, you know, because he always realized that he isn't a natural salesman. Ho says that it's a great relief now that he's oiit of it altogether." "How can he be out of it?" Eugenie spoke sh'arply and with 'blunt earnestness.

"I thought he said he had very little money. Has he found ariothei- job?" "In a way," Sam frowned thoughtfully, being uncertain as to jtlst' liow much she should say. Then she shrugged.

"it's all very surprising, but it seems to he true. Fourth "Wait a minute!" Eugenic wafc on her feet, staring. "Wait a minute till I get this straight. You aren't talking about that circuit breaker thing. It can't be that-" "But it is, Mrs.

Frye." Sam shrugged. "Fourth 1 never invented anything else and I doubt if he ever will." "I don't believe itl" The widow seemed shaken by something very much like excited indignation. "That circuit breaker isn't worth a nickel! It's impractical!" "I 'know. That's what wo all thought. The A.

A. Burke Manufacturing Company, however, felt differently. They bought it." "How could they?" Eugenie's bewilderment was complete. 'She made incredulous gestures. "How could they spend good money for something that isn't worth anything? I tell you, Miss Shcrrill, that isn't worth a cent! had it investigated, and I know!" "You it investigated?" "Of course!" The words tumbled out breathlessly.

"If there had been anything in it at all I'd have backed it myself. My agents told me that I'd just be throwing my money and my agents are reliable pedple." She was tense and grim. "There's something funny about all this." "It's peculiar," said Sam with a frown. "I'll admit it's very peculiar." Eugenie paced the floor, her eyes flashing, and then, abruptly, there came'a change. She hesitated, turned to 'her chair, and collapsed into it, fumbling for her handkerchief.

"It's worse than peculiar," she said in a tone that suddenly became low and hopeless. "It's much worse than that. terrible." Sam Mrs. Frye is going lo fight for what she wants. 3hc also learns the reason.
