Stone, Williamson County judge
announced Saturday . that more
than 100 county Judges and com-
missioners met here Friday to
express opposition to the so-call-
ed "county Judges bill" to retire

The group here voted to support
a bill that would allow surplus
money from the gasoline tax tn be

CHICAGO. (UP) — An Eng-
lish Shorthorn cow haa set a new
world's record for milk produc-
tion.
The new champion is Cherry,
an 8-year-old owned by Red Houae
Farm, Amesbury, Wiltshire, Eng.
land, credited with producing
41,644.5 pounds of milk in 365
days or an average of 57 quarts
a day. It eclipsed by 3,038.5 pounds
the record held by a Holatein cow
owned by Coronation Farms, Seat*
tie, Wash.
Howard J Gramlich, secretary
of the American Shorthorn Breed-
ers' Association, said that the
new champion's highest daily
yield was 143 3-5 pounds. One
pound is .465 of a quart. He eaid
that the average commercial dairy
cow produced from 4.000 to 5,000
pounds of milk a year.

'I here were three major causes
according to Wall Street for the
market break:
1. The recurrent war crises
which have brought selling into
securities on fantastic rumors.
2. Failure of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration to sponsor legislation
desired by industry.
3. Indications that the spring
doniesTTc' industrial revival will
fall short of the expectations set
early this year, largely because
of the unwillingness of consumers
, to abandon a hand-to-mouth buy-
ing policy in view of the situation
abroad.

CHAPTER II
'TALKING things out and acting
together Sheridan Starr and
Hope Kildare had been close asso-
ciates since they were 10 year? old.
As schoolmates they had lived on
adjoining ranches near Henderson,
Texas, and as “buddies” still later
they had written their names
Jointly on Texas Christian Univer-
sity’s hall of football fame. Next
they had naturally moved together
after graduation and' so found
themselves both working for Uncle
Sam.
'Work on the U. Si Border Patrol,
a dignified career, held the free-
dom of outdoors plus the zest of
action. It was a public service
spiced heavily with danger, and it
left little or no time for the gentler
social affairs. Content now with
their friendship anyway, Hope and
Sheridan had remained thorough
bachelors; often they had boasted
good-naturedly that they were
“immune” to feminine wiles. But
that was before Betty Mary Jordan
came along.
Sitting together now on an iron
bench in front of the El Paso
police headquarters, the two young
officers were in better mood than
they had been two hours earlier.
Initial resentment at Betty Mary’s
arrival had changed to a feeling of
responsibility.
“There’s not a thing to do but
wait,” Sheridan was saying. “You
darn sure it was Miss Jordan?"
“Positive! She gave me the high
sign herself.’’ Hope spoke intently.
“Um. Nothing slow about that
gal. And grea-a-a-a-at day, Hope,
my son, she’s pretty, that little
trick is!"
“I’m not blind,” said Hope.
“When do you reckon she’ll come
out?"
“No teHing. And while I don’t
know what you aim to do, Hopey,
me, I’m going to camp right here!”
“I’M watch the back door,” said
Hope, departing.
“Right," Sherry agreed.

bought a dozen tamales from a
passing peddler, sent another doz-
en around back of the building to
his friend.
■ • At 10:20 o’clock Sherry walked
to the corner of the building, gazed
up at the crescent moon as if
bored. Then he yawned and patted
his hat on tight—pat, pat, pat—
walked back and sat down again.
In five mjnutes Hope joined him.
coming through the building. The
hat tapping was their private sign
meaning “come on” or "it’s time
to move.” They got in their gov-
ernment. car and drove away.
“Where's she?" demanded Hope
instantly, peering at the. dimly
lighted sidewalk.
, “About three
yvc'll circle.”
They drove a mile and came up
behind her, an old Mexican wom-
an. face bowed deeply in a black
shawl. A few other Mexicans
loitered up and down the semi-
residence street.
“She's got to see us, but we
can't recognize her,” Hope
avowed. “Stop a minute at that
Mexican botica yonder.”
Sherry, driving, pulled up in

By artful dodging, turning, and
bluffing they trailed her for half
an hour. She sat down to rest once
on a park bench. Then after 20
• minutes she walked circuitously to

tatively in some ' garbage cans

Almost one-third of the non-

“Consolidation. Consolidation.”
The droning came again. Then—
“Cherokee. Cherokee. Cherokee.
That is all.”
Without a word. Sherry swung
his car faster down Stanton street,
where they had been cruising, and
headed for the Cortez Hotel. The
two men parked, went inside to a
private telephone booth. Within
60 seconds they had Betty Mary
Jordan on the wire.
“Are you all right?” Sheridan
demanded at once.
“Certainly!” she laughed. "And
thanks for hovering over me. Don’t
be too obvious with it, though.
Now listen—there’s a shipment,
contrabando and probably aliens
too, crossing either tonight or to-
morrow night in San Felipe Can-
yon. And it’s Luis Barro’s!”*
“Say! Starr exclaimed, in sub-
dued tone. “Okay! But how do
you know? You sure?”
“Never mind that. I’m sure, Mr.
Inspector. At least sure enough to
tip you off. .Do you want the tip?”
"Absolutely! But it’s after mid-
night now, Miss Jordan. And San
Felipe Canyon is 20 miles from
here!”
“Then you’d better get going.
Good night!” She hung up on him
and Sheridan looked foolishly into
the receiver itself, as if trying to
see her. Then he came out of the
phone booth to tell Hope.
“Whew!" Hope breathed, learn-
ing the news.
“Yep. Now listen. We'll phone
out to the Marcial ranch to have
a couple of horses ready. It’s still
six miles from there. Wo couldn’t
go more than another mi^p in the
car, and after that horses would
come in plenty handy.”
“Right. Let’s get. at it."
L ' SKSBh
TT took Sherry 20 minutes to
x arouse the Marcial ranch own-
er anff arrango for the saddled
horses. Old Don Mario Marcial
was a staunch friend of the Border
■ naa aiaca them on numer-
ous occasions. But he was so me-
ticulous and polite in conversation
that one could never do business
fast with him. He really lived the
traditional languor of the Spanish
southwest.
“Anyway Betty Mary’s safe in
the hotel," Hope mentioned, when
they were back in their car, head-
ing out. “That’s off our minds."
“Yep; for a fact.”
“It looks to me like she called'
our bluff, 100 per cent. We dared
her to help catch Barro, and she
pitched right in.”
Hope’s tone held definite pride.
He reached to thump his hat far
back on his head. He was not quite
as large, as Sheridan Starr, nor
quite as tall, but he was every bit
as handsome.. And he could out-
shoot Sheridan a little in target
work. Youngest Of the 300 or so
officers who guard Uncle Sam's
southwestern frontier, these two
also were perhaps the most auda-
cious. *"
“Tell you what, Sherry,” Hope
Kildare grinned a bit, in strange
embarrassment. “There’s no need
of us kiddin’ ourselvee. Now—uh
!»
- “Hunh?”
“I say we might’s well under-
tand each other, Sherry. We aren’t
either one dumb. Now, the fact is,
this Betty Mary’s got what it takes.
And—uh, well, I tell you, I’ll
match you to see which one asks
her for a date first. Say Saturday
night. Hunh?”
Sheridan Starr smiled broadly.
He kept staring straight ahead
through the windshield.
“No soap," he finplly drawled.
“I already asked her for a date.
For Saturday night. I, uh, while
we was setting there at the police
station waiting, I phoned—I was
going to tell you, Hope—I phoned
up some flowers for her, and seht
a boy with a note to go in ’em.
She’s probably smelling ’em by
now, I imagine.”
Hope didn’t say anything. He
was driving, and the road was
very rough now anyway. He didn’t
even smile.

movement was cli- fPMlonal’ and aome southern spot
■ | interests also sold.
i The decline was part ly .restrict-
ed by trade demand and scatter-
ed mill buying.
, Most trade attention was cen-
tered on developments abroad.
Developments in Washington were
negligible and some traders again
took sideline positions pending
clarification of the situation. ,
Commenting on the Smith Cot-
ton bill and the proposed export
subsidy, the commodity research
bureau this week said that where
as the Smith cotton ' bill, ■ if en-
acted, -would “probably” fail to
move much cotton out of the loan,
since farmers might naturally be
reluctant to plow under cotton al-
ready planted, the export subsidy
would "release cotton from the i
loan for near-term distribution." i
A commodity exchange admlnis- [
tration report fhis week disclosed
a sharp drop in March trading
on the three organized exchanges,
compared with the 1938 month.
Trading totaled $2,904,000 balsa,
compared with 2,225,250 bales in
February and 3,472.400,000 bales
in March, 1933.
Some attention was attracted
by reports from Liverpool that a
proposed plan to sell 750,000 bales
of surplus U. S. cotton to the
Lancashire Cotton Corporation for
$28,095,000 had collapsed. Decis-
ion not to complete the deal was
made because such a purchase
would be "against the best inter-
ests of the industry” abroad, ad-
vices said.
A ban hy the Brazilian govern-
ment on cotton sales to the Reich
for Aski Marks, effected March
22, was lifted this week'. It was
believed that the original ban was
ordered because tWe volume of
a*ki marks in Brazil had risen to
undesirable proportions.
The Worth Street textile trade
was dull this week, with only a
sriiall volume of business trans-
acted. moat buying was of the
fill-in variety.
